Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command — 1 Chronicles 12:32
When Barack Obama was inaugurated as our 44th president of the United States – an event not one Republican boycotted, fwiw – there was the great inspirational sense that this nation had finally in his election soared past its most sorrowful history: the history of racial inequality. Many Americans who didn’t even agree with Obama’s policies were swept up in this inspiration.
I myself didn’t vote for Obama because I believe that a president ought to be judged by the content of his character rather than by the color of his skin. And while I would and will vote for any candidate – regardless of race or gender – who upholds sacred values, Barack Obama has NEVER upheld sacred values either before or following his election.
Still, there was no denying that Obama’s presidency – the presidency of the first black president – held great promise and great potential.
And Obama proceeded to piss that promise and that potential away with personal- and policy-pettiness.
And so eight years later, the great day of the election of the nation’s first black president was eclipsed by the even greater day when Obama crawled into “Executive One” – so named because it carried Obama rather than our PRESIDENT – and flew off to the roach motel of his choice.
What is Obama’s legacy? I’ll sum it up for you in a few of Obama’s very own words:
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” — Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, campaigning in Fargo, North Dakota.
And look at what this fool-in-chief has created since: TWICE AS MUCH DEBT AS THE MAN HE VICIOUSLY DEMONIZED AND SLANDERED. Obama himself pointed out Bush’s debt was $4 trillion; what is YOURS, fool? It was $10.626 trillion when Obama took office; it’s 19.961 trillion as I write this. And oh my gosh, I’ve got a calculator and I’m not afraid to prove what a LYING DISGRACE you are. Because the difference is $9.335 trillion and you MORE THAN DOUBLED the debt of the president you mocked and slandered.
How about this one after Obama got his hypocrite. lying weasel ass into office by his lies:
Amen, Democrats. And now you get to live the bitter reality of your own sentiments. Because Democrat, elections have consequences, you said. And at the end of the day, you won, you said. And now that shoe is on the other foot but you’re butthurt hypocrite fascists rather than decent human beings.
Those were terrible, dark, EVIL, vile words coming from a man who had presented himself as the living embodiment of the repudiation of “back of the bus.” Instead, the man who represented himself as “there are no red states and blue states, just the United States” became the most bitterly partisan and polarizing president in our nation’s entire history.
“I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with [the president] trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.” (3/31/08)
“I do have an obligation to make sure that I am following some of the rules. I can’t simply ignore laws that are out there. I’ve got to work to make sure that they are changed.” (10/14/10)
“I am president, I am not king. I can’t do these things just by myself. We have a system of government that requires the Congress to work with the Executive Branch to make it happen. (10/25/10)
“Sometimes when I talk to immigration advocates, they wish I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. But that’s not how a democracy works. What we really need to do is to keep up the fight to pass genuine, comprehensive reform. That is the ultimate solution to this problem. That’s what I’m committed to doing.” (5/10/11)
“I swore an oath to uphold the laws on the books …. Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. But that’s not how our system works. That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.” (7/25/11)
“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,” said Obama. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed.” (2/14/13)
Barack Obama proved that ultimately he is the hypocrite in chief and violated the essence and spirit of his hypocrite repudiations of his office as that of a king, an emperor, a leader of a constitutional republic featuring the clear and deliberate separation of powers, an anti-democrat violating the functions of legitimate democracy.
How about this trip down memory lane during the debates between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in 2011 as Obama mocked Romney’s statement that Russia was America’s greatest geopolitical threat:
The only argument is whether the “D” in Democrat stands for “Disgrace” or “Demonic.”
I quoted “civil rights hero” John Lewis for that “illegitimate president” crap. And I’ll come back to the Demonic Disgrace that is Rep. John Lewis later.
How about this foreign policy gem when a reporter on January 7, 2014, specifically referenced events clearly referring to ISIS:
Obama responded: “The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.” (For the nonsports fan, JV stands for junior varsity, and it usually means a high school or college’s secondary team.)
And cosmic fools like Obama lecture us that Muslims are the victims of this hate. Well, Muslims are the PERPETRATORS OF THIS HATE. And it turns out that Muslims murder wherever they happen to be – when they’re where other Muslims are they murder other Muslims – and when they’re here, they murder us here.
This man TORTURED the people who finally rose up and voted his skinny, pathetic, arrogant party out of office.
Now, above I linked to Rep. John Lewis, who was once beaten by Democrats before becoming one with the people who beat him like a dog. A Former Black Panther pointed that out:
“In the early 70’s and late 60’s, we were demonstrating and protesting for the right to compete as adult citizens of America, we were not demonstrating to be taken care of. Congressman Lewis –he walked across the Pettus bridgeand they beat him and ran over him, but those were Democrats. It was Democrat George Wallace [who] stood in the schoolhouse door, it was Democrat Bull Connor that oppressed [black] folks…
…he [Lewis] was fighting Democrats, but after they beat his behind on that bridge and ran over him and stomped him in the ground, he got up and turned and joined them!”
Former Black Panther and Vietnam Veteran Mason Weaver went on to say:
“Every district they [black Democrats] own and control is a ghetto hell hole. Is a place that no one wants to go to. They’re in control of every inner city school system, every inner city police, every inner city jail, they produce nothing but drugs and misery. They should be ashamed of themselves. I don’t understand why any black person could be a democrat.”
“The Democrat party has always been the party of abuse, the party of the Klan, the party that went to war to keep slaves – the party that’s always been [about] the destruction of black people. Mr. Lewis, you have presided over the destruction of black America, and you owe us an apology.”
John Lewis is a racist race thug. Democrats are dishonestly telling us that other Republicans like John McCain and Mitt Romney were decent men, but Trump is below the pale. But John Lewis exploited his status for being beaten by Democrats – because the Democratic Party has ALWAYS been and always WILL BE the party of naked racism and racial politics – by viciously and hatefully slandering first George W. Bush, then John McCain, then Mitt Romney.
John Lewis is a pure, rabid political ideologue from the party of naked, cynical politicized race-baiting.
The Democrat Party is the party of naked hate and naked intolerance and naked hypocrisy.
Being an “artist” means having the creative freedom to express yourself. Which is another way of saying there IS no such thing as a Democrat “artist.” Because Democrats are the anathema of freedom intellectual or moral or otherwise.
Just imagine for one nanosecond if this had happened at Obama’s inauguration. Just imagine the damn names that would have been used against people who opposed their president. The left would have angrily used every ugly name in the book.
I mean, OF COURSE THE GOAL OF THE REPUBLICANS WAS TO MAKE OBAMA A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT. That was like their JOB!!! Can you stupid roach fascists tell me the last time the Democrat Party refused to run a candidate for president because their goal was to re-elect the REPUBLICAN in office???
But the over the top, visceral hate and rage. The “How DARE you!?!?!?”
Now these same people are literally rioting before Trump even has a chance to take the oath of office.
Look in the mirror from now on whenever you use an ugly label, Democrat. Because your talking about YOURSELF.
If you are a Democrat, you stand for vicious, violent, Nazi stormtrooping thugs. Period. When I call you fascist thugs “Nazis,” I am accurately describing who you are, what you do and the way you do it.
I constantly marvel at Democrats. These people self-righteously label Republicans as “haters,” and then HATE on a level ten-thousand times worse than anything we EVER did.
The outright, naked HATE that is the Democrat Party is on full public display.
When Obama was president, anything that wasn’t literal WORSHIP was demonized as racism and treason and every other over-the-top description. And now these people are so far beyond the pale the abject and immoral hypocrisy simply never ceases to fail to amaze.
I want to again point out for the historical record that I predicted the rise of someone that Democrats would find so terrible and so terrifying:
Obama’s strategy is to set aside and flatly ignore the law for his own political benefit. Every American who is not deeply troubled by that – troubled enough to not vote for this fascist – is UN-American.
What Obama has done is provide an example of out-and-out lawlessness on the part of the president of the United States. And when we get a hard-core right wing president the way Obama has been a hard-core left wing president, Obama and the Democrat Party and all of those who voted for Obama and the Democrat Party will be entirely to blame for that president and his extremist actions. You mark my words. Because what goes around comes around, and if a Democrat can set aside the law the way Obama has now repeatedly done, well, guess who’s going to be stomping on your necks under your own president’s prior justification??? Conservatives are rising up in a spirit of righteous outrage. You have repeatedly slapped us in the face through your messiah Obama, and the time is coming when we’re going to punch you hard in the nose and then keep on punching. And when that day comes, liberals, look to yourselves for blame. — My words on June 18, 2012
To the extent that you Democrats are shocked and appalled by the presidency of Donald John Trump, you DESERVE to be shocked and appalled.
You supported a truly evil man for eight years.
Elections have consequences. And at the end of the day, YOU LOSERS LOST.
Donald Trump now has the right to defy the Constitution. Because YOU DEMOCRATS GAVE HIM THAT RIGHT THROUGH YOUR WICKED MESSIAH. Donald Trump has the right to issue sweeping executive orders that will have you howling in bitter rage. Because YOU DEMOCRATS GAVE HIM THAT RIGHT THROUGH YOUR WICKED MESSIAH. And the Republican Congress has the right to totally and utterly and brutally ignore the minority Democrats in the House and the Senate and throughout the nation. Because YOU DEMOCRATS GAVE THEM THAT RIGHT THROUGH THE VILE ACTIONS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WHEN THEY HELD ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
So suck on that.
I’ve compared Democrats repeatedly to Nazis. Because that’s what they are. Their response now is uber similar to the devout Nazis response: Hitler drove his people to ruin, but the devout worshipers of their beloved Fuehrer said that the nations allied against Germany only did so because they hated the Fuehrer and hated his beautiful vision for a better world; they said that Hitler had given them the good times, so they owed him their devout loyalty in the hard times.
Meanwhile, the Zyclon-B of the Nazis in the death camps for the 6 million Jews they murdered was MERCIFUL in comparison to the viciousness of Democratic Party abortion techniques that have murdered more than TEN TIMES as many innocent human beings as the Nazis murdered.
So your current response now merely amounts to further proof that you deserve a Berlin response where Trump drives TANKS over your crushed and mangled bodies after firebombing your leftist cities.
I’ve been writing for years now – primarily because of Obama and the wicked depraved spirit of the Democratic Party – that “the beast is coming.” The funny thing is that today secular humanist Democrats fully agree with conservative fundamentalist Christian dispensationalist that the literal interpretation of the Book of Revelation is at hand.
Well, congratulations, Democrat: YOU brought the end of days about!!!
Are you full of hate? Do you want to see human beings DEAD? Do you have racism and rage built up in your heart? Do you really want to put women in their place? In fact, do you have a giant case of rage against the United States of America and want to see it implode and burned to the ground?
We’ve got the Party for YOU, bro. Come be a DEMOCRAT!!!
That’s exactly what Omar Mateen did:
Let me quickly show you what you get to DO as a fascist Democrat. You get to chase down and surround and beat people down who foolishly believe they have some kind of pathetic “constitutional right” to have free speech when we don’t want them to have free speech or to peaceably assemble when we don’t want them to peaceably assemble:
Get that white imperialist who has the temerity to try to flee from his beating! Beat him in the name of Allah! Beat him in the name of the Prophet! Yes! And beat him yet again in the name of OBAMA!
Can’t imagine a vicious terrorist murderer not liking that little bit of Democratic Party fascist hypocrite “It’s not fascist when WE do it!” tyranny.
You name one vicious fascist Nazi THUG who wouldn’t want to belong to a party that routinely does these vicious things while simultaneously blaming the victims for their “hate” and their “intolerance.”
And of course, the people we Democrat Nazi thugs viciously beat down think their stupid and depraved constitution that we spit on and urinate on and throw our feces at believe that they should have the right to be able to defend themselves. They actually want the guns their forefathers guaranteed them! Hah! We will seize their guns from them by perverting their own system against them. And maybe if Allah is willing we will use the very guns we took from them to murder them all!!!
Every single totalitarian regime in history seized total power only AFTER banning citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. And sharia is the ULTIMATE in totalitarian power-grabs.
Democrats get to show all of their complete and total depraved contempt for the nation of liberty and freedom by burning our flag that our soldiers have died fighting for our freedom under:
That one also had to be a major selling point for Omar.
Our brilliant imams in our mosques – well, we call ours “professors” and they sit in the ivory towers of our universities – came up with the way to destroy all dissent from our righteous ways:
“Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice,” states the subtitle of her Feb. 18 column, in which she insists Harvard stop guaranteeing students and professors the right to hold controversial views and conduct research putting liberalism in a negative light.
“If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals?”
“It is tempting to decry frustrating restrictions on academic research as violations of academic freedom. Yet I would encourage student and worker organizers to instead use a framework of justice. After all, if we give up our obsessive reliance on the doctrine of academic freedom, we can consider more thoughtfully what is just.”
And now most of our Party Members affirm that freedom must be crushed:
A new poll shows that a majority of Democrats want to limit free speech with laws that would prohibit so-called “hate speech.”
The YouGov poll published Wednesday found that 51 percent of Democrats favor imposing legal limits on free speech while just 26 percent of Democrats oppose the idea.
The poll suggests a clear reason why incidents such as the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris and the recent attempted assassination of cartoonists in Garland, Texas, become mired in partisan politics within the United States. By a ratio of nearly 2:1, Democrats believe free speech should be curtailed when it involves “hatred” for another group. The exact nature of “hatred” is undefined, but real-world examples demonstrate it can be something as simple as drawing a cartoon of Muhammad.
If we don’t like whatever anyone else is saying, it’s obviously “hateful.” And why shouldn’t we ban “hate”??? Except OUR hate, of course. That hate is RIGHTEOUS is it not???
We know you hate blacks, Omar. You have a reputation of being quite the racist. And women, too, we understand. Almost as much as you hate America. These things are all glorious. Did you know that the Democrat Party was the Party that tried to split America in two? We fought a vicious Civil War to keep black people in the chains of bondage. Almost succeeded at it, too. Would have, if it hadn’t been for Abraham Lincoln and the hated Republican Party!
The 1924 Democratic National Convention, also called the Klanbake,[1] held at the Madison Square Garden in New York City from June 24 to July 9, 1924, took a record 103 ballots to nominate a presidential candidate. It was the longest continuously running convention in United States political history. It was the first major party national convention that saw the name of a woman, Lena Springs, placed in nomination for the office of Vice President. It was also known for the strong influence of the Ku Klux Klan. John W. Davis, initially an outsider, eventually won the presidential nomination as a compromise candidate following a virtual war of attrition between front-runners William Gibbs McAdoo and Al Smith.
We are the Party that featured a Ku Klux Klan Kleagle as one of our most honored Senators. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama eulogized him:
DemocratUnited States SenatorRobert C. Byrd was a recruiter for the Klan while in his 20s and 30s, rising to the title of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops of his local chapter. After leaving the group, Byrd spoke in favor of the Klan during his early political career. Though he claimed to have left the organization in 1943, Byrd wrote a letter in 1946 to the group’s Imperial Wizard stating “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.” Byrd defended the Klan in his 1958 U.S. Senate campaign when he was 41 years old.[3]
Many may think we turned from our ways, but as an Islamic jihadist such as yourself must know, our righteous path is one that can never be deterred. We found a NEW way to keep black people in bondage, to take more than just their bodies, but their wills, even their souls. Our welfare system has sapped the black man; he has no energy to do anything for himself; we only wants our meager “entitlement checks.” Because the black man is “entitled” to be NOTHING, get it? And so now they are THE most reliable vote for their masters. We get to exploit them as much as EVER.
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again… I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next two hundred years”.
LBJ’s strategy worked like a MAGIC CHARM!!! The African-Americans – we call them that as a mocking facile pretense of an illusion respect – swallowed LBJs Democrat Party offering like goldfish in a family restaurant pond greedily swallowing snotty children’s spittle!!! And they are doing it to this very day!!!
For the record, that above quote was substantiated by Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler, basically the foremost reporting journalist of our time who has been so trusted that he was allowed to report on the inner workings of the CIA (Inside the CIA: Revealing the Secrets of the World’s Most Powerful Spy Agency), the FBI (The FBI: Inside the World’s Most Powerful Law Enforcement Agency) as well as the White House and many other branches and agencies of our government. It was in his work, “Inside the White House” that he documented this quote that was said by LBJ who is on recordings saying a lot of very similar things ALONG with the “N-word.” Oh, yes he did TOO say those words I cite above. And Democrats still use the exact same tactic today to own the blacks and the other minority groups they splintered off by demagoguing racial identity politics and dividing America into groups as no one else ever has in the history of this nation. If you truly want to conquer America, first you must divide it: and we Democrats are MASTERS at dividing America along racial lines, gender lines, income lines, sexual identity lines, and you name it, we’ve divided it and exploited it politically to turn American against American.
Oh, but your hate is strong enough that none of this is quite enough for you. We understand; we Democrats feel the same way. There MUST be a body count. Americans must be killed in horrifying numbers. And we devised a way to accomplish this noble task in a way that gets the most hated people to self-murder even as it destroys and erodes our very family structure to leave us ripe for conquest by a totalitarian ideology such as yours.
And so we gave them abortion. We let them self-murder. It doesn’t matter so much how they are killed just as long as they are DEAD, right? And we have quite an impressive body count that dwarfs Islamic States’ and even dwarfs the Nazi Party’s: we are responsible for SIXTY MILLION dead babies since 1973 when we foisted Roe v. Wade on a stupid Democrat-packed Supreme Court with bogus arguments about “gang rape” when nothing even close to that actually happened. We Democrats know how to get our way with lies and treachery, but we get our way very well indeed!
“Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
It becomes crystal clear just WHICH population Ginsburg didn’t want “to have too many of” when you understand the motivations of Hillary Clinton’s hero, Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger:
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” — Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts.
Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful project? Exterminating the Negro population??? Join us!!! Vote Democrat!!!
2010 Census results reveal that Planned Parenthood is targeting minority neighborhoods. 79% of its surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods.
Abortion has destroyed the entire family structure in America. Think about it: if a woman has the “right to choose” that we Democrats ALONE gave her, then what about “fathers”??? What rights can THEY have??? ZERO, that’s how many!!! In fact, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FATHERHOOD ANY MORE. Because at the moment of conception, when the “father” obviously does his “fathering,” what does he produce??? A BABY??? A CHILD??? NO TWENTY TRILLION TIMES OVER (hah! That’s the debt we’ve burdened the next generation of Americans we’ve allowed to live with!!!). Absolutely NOT!!! That is NOT a baby; it is a thing that we can kill without thinking twice about it!!! And so we’ve not only aborted sixty million babies; we’ve aborted fatherhood ITSELF!!!
And it has had a terrifying effect upon America. We Democrats will gladly post our sixty million murdered Americans with any death toll you Muslim terrorists have produced. WE are the true terrorist party and we have been since 1973.
Do you know how much massive DEBT we Democrats have saddled on the backs of the future generation that we weren’t able to murder with abortion??? It’s not “trillions”; it’s HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS!!! America is going DOWN. And your hatred of America is nothing even CLOSE to ours!!!
Think about this, Omar. Just five years ago, you succeeded in murdering about 3,000 people a year with your terrorism. A respectable figure, to be sure, but one that clearly could be improved. Today, thanks to the policies of Barack Hussein Obama, you are now gloriously murdering 28,000 people every single year with your terror.
Only the great Obama could have given you such a wonderful death toll!!!
Jesus said in John 8:44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
The thing about depravity is you are perverted in your soul and you cannot see or understand or comprehend reality the way it really, truly is.
It comes down to this: bad people prefer lies. The souls of the wicked swim in lies.
So I have to laugh one of those laughs where you better be careful because it could easily turn into a hysterical crying jag as you confront a level of depravity and deceit that would be ludicrous if it wasn’t so tragic and wasn’t causing so much destruction.
Just so you understand what that means – and how absolutely demonically GODAWFUL Obama truly is for the economy and for the United States of America – “Wall Street history” dates to May 17, 1792. So what that above article is actually saying is that Barack Obama has got America off to the worst start in the final year of his presidency – which is really, seriously hard to blame on Bush by now, I think you should agree – in 224 years.
There is NO truth or honesty or virtue or decency or honor or integrity in the heart of this wicked man.
Our economy is in shambles and the only thing we have to say anything is going well is a bunch of bogus statistical shenanigans. Obama touts a low unemployment record when in actual reality we have the lowest labor participation rate – the measurement of working-age adults who actually have a JOB – in modern history. I’ve been writing about this since we wickedly and foolishly re-elected this failed sack-of-feces in 2012. You’ve got to go back to 1977 when Jimmy Carter was failing the world with much the same worldview that Obama has to match that demonically dismal performance. And just for the record in 1977 a lot of women were married mothers who stayed home and ran the household and raised their children as opposed to now when Democrats have broken the institution of marriage. People don’t have JOBS; but the way these numbers are cooked, it doesn’t MATTER.
But it’s okay, right? I mean, I’m sure YOU’RE good for it. You will pay it back and we’ll be fine. Smooth sailing, right?
We are a house of cards and the wind is starting to pick up. Oh, and the cards are soaked in gasoline and there are fires starting all over the place. And the house of cards is built on a major fault line. And basically every politician in Washington acts like a two-year old racing all around the house of cards.
One day you’re going to wake up and the banks are going to be closed and the money in your wallet is going to be worth less than toilet paper. And you’ll be stunned because if you’re one of the few people who even bother to tune in to the news, all the mainstream talking heads were assuring you that everything is going to be fine.
We’re going to go down harder, faster and further than any other nation ever has in the entire history of the world. Because no nation has ever racked up so much debt. No nation has ever so fundamentally betrayed their own values that made them great to begin with.
The Bible mentions Russia in end-times prophecy; it mentions China. It never bothers with America. Because America will be broken and irrelevant in the last days.
And now we’ve got liberals who are every damn bit as socialist doing the same damn thing today.
How’s that socialism working for you? I mean, it’s sure not working out very well for France, we’re seeing now. It didn’t work out very well for Greece or for Portugal or for Italy, etc. It didn’t work out very well for Venezuela with Obama’s pal Hugo Chavez. Truth to tell, socialism has failed everywhere and every time it’s ever been tried. But it’s like W.C. Fields observed, “There’s a stupid, ignorant, depraved sucker born every damn minute.” And combine that with the bumper sticker I saw: “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” And so the world keeps making the same stupid mistake over and over and over again. And what do we have to show for Obama’s “fundamental transformation of America” that isn’t terrible??? You want to say ObamaCare, which has amazingly both made healthcare worse AND more expensive at the same damn time??? ObamaCare has utterly FAILED the poor and middle class people Obama swore he was going to help; the whole damn law was nothing but a bait-and-switch windfall to connected insurance companies as both the quality of and access to health care plummeted. But as long as your mind remains wrapped up in all the lies your soul inhabits, you probably won’t even notice reality until you finally become aware of your empty stomach. There won’t be anyone to feed you because there won’t be any more food. And you’ll be looking around, wondering who is going to change your soiled diaper for you, because you never learned how to take care of yourself.
Liberals are literally doing the work of Satan, politically exploiting God’s judgment for THEIR wickedness to bring about MORE of the very policies that God is judging!
Soon the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will come. Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear already hear the echoes of their coming hoofbeats. They come for YOU, fool.
And then the beast is going to come, the Antichrist of the Book of Revelation. And he will seem to have an answer for all the chaos of the politicians you worshiped in the past. And so you will worship him even more fervently than you worshiped Obama. And you will take his mark of Big Government and Ultimate Socialism and you will eagerly devour the fruit of that ultimate evil. And then you will burn screaming in hell forever and ever.
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard “even Reagan” attacks on Republicans from liberals such as, “Even Reagan raised taxes,” or “Even Reagan granted amnesty to illegal immigrants.”
I mean, Reagan cut the damn taxes, okay? Can we please stop the bullcrap? The top rate went from 70% to 28% under the Reagan tax cut which ignited the economy like nothing ever has before or since. You’ve got to be not only a fool but a DAMNFOOL – which unfortunately is a synonym for “Democrat” – to try to argue that Reagan “raised taxes.” If some taxes went up, while most taxes went down and the overall tax rate went WAY down, it’s pretty pathetic to cling to the couple of times that Reagan raised some minor tax to try to argue against the FACT that Reagan cut taxes. And yet the left does it all the time.
I googled the phrase (with quotes) “even Reagan” and got 27,700 hits, including the first one from the New York Slimes titled, “ObamaCare and Reagan.” The author’s thesis is apparently that Reagan was a confused man who didn’t understand socialism (you know, because he only understood it enough to defeat the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics against the steadfast resistance of the Democrat Party whose mantra had become, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”). If you search for “Even Ronald Reagan” you get another 33,800 results, with the first one being titled, “Even Ronald Reagan Agrees With Bernie Sanders.” Oh yes, Ronnie would be a wild-eyed socialist today, wouldn’t he, you deluded liberals?
This actually isn’t about Reagan, although if any group of people on earth would refuse to allow a dead man to rest in peace, it would most assuredly be liberals. This is about the current conservative view on policy issues and the left’s rhetorical game to take down those conservatives.
First of all, it’s kind of interesting for the left to play the “Even Reagan” game. If you actually believe that what Reagan believed wasn’t right, why on earth would you ask someone to hold to the views of a guy you say is ignorant? Isn’t that kind of crazy of you to do? I mean, do you want to say “Even Hitler…” in a way intended to make one side hold more closely to Adolf Hitler’s policies? It’s like virtually all other leftist talking points: it’s a word game. It’s actually a pretty stupid one.
Let me explain what is so desperately wrong with this attack and why the left keeps advancing it by a parallel argument: “Even Jimmy Carter was opposed to abortion.” As president, Jimmy Carter said, “I am convinced that every abortion is an unplanned tragedy, brought about by a combination of human errors and this has been one of the most difficult moral and political issues I have had to face. As president, I accepted my obligation to enforce the “Roe v. Wade” Supreme Court ruling, and at the same time attempted in every way possible to minimize the number of abortions.” Hardly a triumphant shout of “women have the right to choose to kill as many of their babies as they want to and let the fathers of those babies rights be damned!” statement; it was a regretful, “This is wrong, but I have no choice” statement. So even Jimmy Carter believed abortion was a “tragedy.” And why shouldn’t you be flash-frozen to that view the way you want to flash-freeze me to Regan’s views?
Here’s another one: “Even President Jimmy Carter didn’t believe in same-sex marriage.”
Even Jimmy Carter didn’t believe in …” and you name it, you could certainly advance that thesis if you want to compare Carter’s stated views and policies to Obama’s.
But on the left’s incredibly disingenuous and profoundly hypocritical narrative, only Democrats have the right to have any evolution of their views. Democrats have “evolved” a damn MILE, but let Republicans evolve an INCH and they are therefore on this incredibly hypocritical narrative without any question a bunch of extremists.
I mean, even REAGAN!
Let’s put aside the fact that EVEN JFK believed that reducing taxes caused increased opportunity and incentivized economic growth. That is a FACT of history, and anyone who isn’t an idiot knows it. But hell, Republicans are “extremists” for wanting a little more than what Reagan wanted, whereas Democrats are WHAT for doing a COMPLETE U-TURN AND WANTING SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY AND PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEIR GREATEST PRESIDENT WANTED????
Which party has actually wildly veered into extremism??? It sure couldn’t be the damn party that urinated on the entire history of the human civilization in imposing homosexual marriage, let alone their precious Darwinian evolution and it’s edict of “survival of the fittest” defined as “Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.” Good luck fertilizing an egg by all the sodomy in the world, queers. And if you’re a lesbian, keep licking furiously; but if you’ve got a functioning brain cell in your head, you ought to know naught will come from it beyond the hairballs you cough up.
One party not only utterly abandoned the history of civilization, not only abandoned the history of every major religion, but also abandoned the very pretense of science they claimed they held the mantle of. But it’s not like they went “extremist” or anything.
I think we should “fundamentally transform” our calendars and start with BS: “Before Sodomy.” Because one rabidly extremist political party wildly transformed the universe (in a shockingly depraved way).
If you’re a Democrat, you are at this point by definition a hypocrite to the last cell of your vile little cockroach brain, so there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with MASSIVE SHIFTS in policy; if you are a Republican, however, any change is somehow defined as a “radical” and as an “extremist” shift toward some demagogic monster.
Since Democrats love the mantra “even Ronald Reagan…” let’s punch them in the mouth with a little bit of “Even Bill Clinton…”
Mrs. Clinton, back in the 1990s your husband concluded the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed legislation repealing the Glass-Steagall restrictions on affiliations between banks and securities firms, and embraced welfare reform and cuts in capital gains taxes. In 1996, he famously declared “the era of big government is over.”
Today you are running on a pro-tax, pro-regulation, pro-spending platform that is almost the opposite of your husband’s economic record. If his policies worked so well in the 1990s, why are you running against them today?
I mean, EVEN BILL CLINTON… not that Democrats give a flying damn about their wild swing into the most extremist policies imaginable even compared to their last Democrat president.
There is a constant, unwavering attempt by the mainstream media and the Democrat Party and in particular the most demagogic president in the entire history of the republic, Obama, to demonize and slander the Republican Party has having become “extremist.” And their most darling argument to that bogus end is the “even Reagan” mantra. Reagan was a great president. But he was last president very nearly thirty years ago.
Ronald Reagan massively changed the social, political and economic landscape with policies that were fundamentally different from what had been done before. He fought very hard for his core beliefs and was willing to do something that Barack Obama has proven to be pathologically incapable of doing: reaching out to the other side. Reagan REGULARLY met with his Democrat Party opposites and worked out deals. You tell me the number of times that Obama ever sought to meet with Republican leaders. He was either arrogantly stating to them, “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won” or neither he nor anyone on his damn STAFF even had the Republican leaders’ phone numbers to reach them.
How about this one, “Even Reagan” leftist lecturers: how about “EVEN OBAMA”
On the debt:
Obama: The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic. — July 3, 2008
What’s the damn debt again, you demon-possessed HYPOCRITE??? It’s $18.5 trillion and skyrocketing by the nanosecond. You’ve added NINE TRILLION by your lonesome and you aint even DONE yet!
“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. For me, as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”
Oops. So much for gay marriage. “Even Obama!” I mean, holy crap, what about THAT “even Obama” compared to your current precise opposite “even Obama”!!!???!!!???
How about this “even Hillary” from Hillary, who now is actually trying to claim that her installation of a secretive private server giving her sole control over her emails so that she could purge tens of thousands of them without ANYONE being allowed to examine them even after her secret server and all of her emails on it had been lawfully subpoenaed by Congress? Consider what Hillary said about the Bush White House that did NOT use secretive private servers:
HILLARY CLINTON: You know our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, about the secret military tribunals, we know about the secret White House email accounts.
So Hillary Clinton needs to be thoroughly investigated and convicted for her shredding the Constitution. EVEN HILLARY agrees. At least when she’s not being an abject cockroach hypocrite.
We’re not talking about a party “evolving” over thirty years; we’re talking about a party that swung wildly and radically extremist in ONE CANCEROUS PRESIDENCY that now seeks to further infest and infect America with THE NEXT CANCEROUS PRESIDENCY.
Every single Democrat or “journalist” who has ever used any phrase containing the words “even” and “Reagan” is simply demon-possessed. There is no other way to explain such massive hypocrisy and such massive dishonesty and such massive depravity.
Barack Obama has just as massively “fundamentally transformed” the political landscape by his tyrannical determination to either get his way exactly the way he wants it or do what he wants through executive order without bothering to deal with the inconveniences of the House and Senate or the Constitution. And Reagan’s way of doing things won’t work with that level of fascist hate for everything our republic stands for that the Democrat Party has degenerated into since Reagan left office.
Rising levels of illegal immigration [led to] the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). It provided amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants, in return for increased border security and penalties for companies “knowingly” hiring illegal immigrants.
Democrats dishonestly proved to be liars who refused to make good on either one of those two conditions. They proved that they are utterly illegitimate negotiating partners. And they have been dishonest negotiating partners ever since.
Even Reagan can’t be “even Reagan” when he could literally trust the pathologically dishonest Soviet Union more than he could trust the Democrat Party.
Again, this is just another example of “even Reagan,” so if Republicans oppose Obama doing what he did, it’s only because they’re “extremist.” Because you see, it’s only fascist when Republicans evolve, at least it is if you’ve got enough legions of demons screaming in your insane brain.
To hold one party to a standard that old even as your own party has swung wildly and massively to the left is quite literally clinically insane both in terms of schizophrenic (by believing “facts” that are blatantly false) and sociopathic (by manifesting profound deceit and insincerity and an appalling absence of remorse or shame).
I am so sick of these sneering pseudo-intellectual HYPOCRITES creating “facts” by the despicable manipulation of rhetoric otherwise known as “political correctness.”
Liberal Hollywood tycoon Quentin Tarantino appeared on liberal MSNBC and doubled-down after calling police murders. He said (“whined” being a more accurate term):
That’s the way they attack me … for standing up for the rights of unarmed citizens who have been killed by the police.
They want to demonize me. They want to slander me and imply that I said things I didn’t say. And the reason is because they want me to shut up and they want to make sure that no other people like me, prominent citizens, will stand up for that side.
First of all, you turd, WHY ARE THE CITIZENS UNARMED AGAIN??? Oh, that’s right; because of liberals like YOU dedicated to denying us our 2nd Amendment freedom in spite of the fact that basically every single movie you ever made glorified gun violence – because, yeah, to be a damn liberal is to be a damn hypocrite. And second, what about the left trying to destroy Donald Trump for pointing out the fact that “unarmed citizens” are rather routinely getting MURDERED by illegal immigrants that this administration refuses to deal with? What about the far MORE fascist tactics that the left routinely uses to demonize any debate???
You can’t reason with or argue with a hypocrite. Democrats constantly shift in their double-standards. As I believe I’ve amply demonstrated above, the goal posts move on every single play with them while they demonize us for not PERFECTLY holding to the ideals of a man from three decades ago.
It is literally Satanic for the Democrat Party that has swung further to extremism than any political party has in American history to label the Republican Party as “extremists.” Just as it is literally Satanic for the mainstream media to act as that extremist party’s most powerful super PAC by backing their demagoguery.
It was amazing to see this debate. CNN deliberately – out of their blatant bias – engineered their shot at the Republican debate to force Republicans to attack each other. Every single question they asked in the Republican debate was, “Why don’t you think your opponent should be the next president?”
Many of the questions were framed in a way designed to encourage candidates to criticize other candidates’ positions on issues (or nonissues) rather than addressing issues themselves. (Others disagree with you. What do you think?! was the general thrust of the questioning.) “Mr Trump has repeatedly said that the $100 million you’ve raised for your campaign makes you a puppet for your donors. Are you?” Tapper asked Jeb Bush early on in the debate. There is no possible world in which that question could ever elicit an interesting or valuable answer.
But did CNN follow their own, let’s make the candidates eat each other and enjoy the Republican-on-Republican violence we ginned up? Nope.
[…] Moderator and CNN host Anderson Cooper said in a Sunday interview, “Going into the Republican debates, you pretty much knew there were a number of candidates who were willing to [attack each other].” He added, “That’s not the case, so far as we’ve seen, on the Democratic side.”
“I’m always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote some sort of a face off,” Cooper continued, contradicting the entire format of the Republican debate CNN hosted.
CNN’s Jake Tapper seemed very comfortable getting the GOP candidates to face off against each other.
“Look, these are all serious people,” explained Cooper. “This is a serious debate. They want to talk about the issues and I want to give them an opportunity to do that.”
This is a rabidly biased “journalist” from a rabidly biased “news network.” He’s telling us that Republicans have zero-point-zero interests in talking about issues, that really all they wanted to do was personally attack each other, and for some reason he had no problem being “uncomfortable” when he did to Republicans what he said he absolutely was NOT going to do to the Democrats. Because, after all, according to Anderson Cooper, Democrat candidates “are all serious people.” Whereas the governors and senators and incredibly successful field of Republicans are all clowns by simple definition of liberal demagogic ideology.
So what I’m telling you is that from the very outset, this debate was a JOKE.
And the result was it was boring and changed NOTHING. Hillary Clinton got sheltered when she should have been shellacked. And that was the plan. I suppose that’s what “no fireworks” meant; the purpose of this debate from the ideological plotters and schemers was to reinforce whatever preconceived script they wanted to.
So there weren’t any seriously tough questions asked of the Democrats that they didn’t want to answer the way Republicans are asked tough questions that they don’t want to answer. There also aren’t anywhere near as many debates for fascist Democrats who at this time in their wretched, degenerate existence despise free speech as there are for Republicans.
The debates were rigged from the outset to benefit the presumed queen empress of the space-time universe.
“Four debates. Four debates. Four debates, and only four debates. We are told—not asked—before voters in our earliest states make their decision,” 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said on Friday. “This sort of rigged process has never been attempted before.” […]
O’Malley says the DNC is only doing this to protect Clinton, and O’Malley isn’t alone in this theory. Sen. Bernie Sanders is unhappy as well.
“I believe at a time when so many people have given up on the political process, when 80 percent of people did not vote in the last election, 63 percent of the people did not vote, I believe that debates are a good thing,” Sanders said.
Democrats are by nature fascists and didn’t want to allow too many debates which would have allowed a challenger to rise and begin to threaten the selection by the Stalinist DNC – which is led by a fascist woman who implicitly acknowledged that there is ZERO difference between a “Democrat” and a “socialist” today.
“What is the difference,” between the platform of the Democratic Party and socialism Meet The Press host Chuck Todd asks Debbie Wasserman Schultz, leader of the Democrats. “Can you explain the difference?”
Nobody had to answer much during the staged Democrat debate on CNN. That’s for sure.
As an example, I don’t recall very many questions about Bernie Sanders’ rape fantasy article that is just beyond creepy. The left and their media lackeys couldn’t care less; that kind of awfulness very clearly only matters if the candidate is a Republican. I mean, I’m sorry; Joy Behar of the ABC program The View gushed that Bernie Sanders is sexy; but aside from the fact that socialists are pathologically creepily in love with their masters (whether it was Hitler or Stalin or Mao or Bill Clinton or Obama or Sanders), it’s rather obvious that to put it in Sanders’ words, “she fantasizes being raped by three men simultaneously.’’
The CNN debate had the premise, “Let’s not all reveal what pieces of garbage all we liberals are.”
There were no questions about the sixty million abortions every single Democrat will one day scream in hell for. No questions about the fact that to be a Democrat today means to be a sodomy-worshiping pervert who sticks his or her middle finger up at the God of the Bible and shrieks, “F*ck YOU! Bring your wrath that you tell us about in Romans chapter one ON, God! Give us raging floods and storms in one place and burning drought in another according to Amos 4:7. We’ll just blame Your wrath on Republicans!”
I wish there were some religious questions, such as, “How do you respond to Jesus’ narrow, exclusivist statement of John 14:6, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” I’d like to hear the candidates deal with the question, “Why has the Democrat Party so rabidly turned against Jesus Christ and the moral teachings of the Bible?” But no.
There was one question that exposed the complete cowardice of the Democrat Party today. Anderson Cooper asked each candidate to respond to the question, “Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?” And there was only ONE candidate on the stage – and no Democrat will vote for him because to be a Democrat is to be a toxically depraved human being – who answered that all lives matter. That’s because to be a Democrat is to be an abject SLAVE to your party’s special interest, to your party’s rabid leftist base.
And so a good follow-up question would have been, “Why don’t you believe that white lives matter in America today? Just why is it that you were such a damn, miserable COWARD to answer that last question the way you did, you despicable political weasels?” But no.
No questions about how encouraging entire generations of Democrats to be welfare parasites for the incredibly cynical purpose of trying to force them to vote Democrat for life is “doing what you can for your country” rather than “not asking what your country can do for you.”
But that would be about actual reality. And to be a Democrat is to be a snarling hater of reality.
So no real questions about how all the Democrats on the platform seem to be channeling the uber-leftist message that more Obamaesque policies will somehow lead to “social justice” and end income inequality when Obama’s damn policies have done more to make actual income inequality worse than any and all presidents before him.
And Democrats hate reality more than they love life.
So Democrats can explode a problem into a crisis and then exploit the crisis they create to slander and lie and demonize everybody but themselves. Nobody has a job because they have regulated jobs out of existence. But now they can exploit the fact that they destroyed all the jobs to blame those greedy, rich people should go bankrupt being forced to pay wages and benefits they can’t possibly afford to pay while they’re being forced to spend exorbitantly to conform to regulations they can’t possibly conform to.
And stupid people who despise reality believe their lies.
No significant questions about Hillary Clinton’s private server or the pathologically fascist, paranoid and secretive shrew she had to have been and continues to remain in order to install one in the first place. I would have loved to see Anderson Cooper treat the Democrat candidates like Republicans with questions such as, “Would you have installed a private email server and obliterated all legitimate transparency and accountability by purging your communications AFTER they had been lawfully subpoenaed? Would YOU have risked national security by throwing out over 400 top-secret emails without adequate protections the way Hillary Clinton did? Would you endorse right now every single Republican politician and appointee being able to install private servers in their homes to avoid accountability the way Hillary Clinton was able to do? Do you believe there ought to be such a thing as transparency and accountability as Hillary Clinton very clearly does not? Do you agree with Hillary Clinton that there ought to be one standard for her and a vastly different one for everyone else? Or do you agree with Hillary Clinton as when Americans are being murdered under her watch, “What difference does it make?”
But no. That would be dealing with reality. And you’re not allowed to be a Democrat unless you have fang-dripping hatred for reality.
Bernie Sanders suggests that he was not being political when he said that his rival’s emails ought to be off-limits in the debate. That has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders being decent or courageous; it’s because he recognizes that Democrats frankly are miserable, wicked, depraved moral scum who don’t CARE that Hillary Clinton is a criminal who broke the law and horrifyingly violated our national security and belongs in prison. He said what he said because he knew that the same damn perverted cowards who would have booed him if he’d had the courage and the decency to say that all lives matter would also have booed him if he pointed out Hillary Clinton’s crimes.
Because to a Democrat, abject, despicable moral COWARDICE masquerades for courage. Which is why Democrats stupidly believe that Barack Obama is actually brave to be the modern equivalent of Neville Chamberlain who freed Hitler to unleash hell by his abject failure to stand up and have any kind of a backbone when the world desperately needed one in the days leading up to World War II.
No questions about our national debt and how it has exploded under Barack Obama and what Democrat presidents would do to reduce it rather than explode it even more. No question of how Barack Obama wasn’t the worst hypocrite in the history of the entire universe when he demonized George Bush with these words on July 3, 2008 because George Bush had disgustingly added $4 trillion to the national debt:
Obama: “The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”
No questions about the fact that Barack Obama has now more than doubled Bush’s debt after hypocritically demonizing him for it and no questions about the fact that by the time Obama leaves office, he will personally have added more to the debt than every single U.S. president from George Washington to George W. Bush COMBINED.
Because to be a Democrat is to be so viciously hateful toward reality it is beyond unreal.
But wouldn’t that have been a good question: “How in the hell are you going to do all this leftist socialist crap and not bankrupt America? Or are you going to be the same sort of rabid, demon-possessed LIAR the last Democrat president was and vomit out an ocean of lies?
No significant questions about the rise and spread of the threat of Islamic State or the caliphate Barack Obama’s foolish and depraved policies allowed them to carve out of a country where Obama once took credit for securing and a country where Obama once issued an infamous “red line” that he subsequently allowed his enemies to walk all over.
Because if you’re a Democrat you truly don’t give one flying DAMN about the actual state of the world. You are a demon-possessed fool who lives in a web of lies spun by worse fools who are even more demon-possessed.
Hey, I’ve got an idea: let’s just pretend that if we’re really, really nice to them and disarm our military capacity and bare our throats to their knives, they’ll see we’re no threat to them and leave us alone. Because I’m a Democrat and I’ve never actually so much as touched actual reality in my entire useless life.
Listening to the Democrats on the stage, you got a vivid picture of why everything has melted down in the world: George W. Bush. Seven years after he left office, he is STILL the ONLY actual leader who is to be held responsible for ANYTHING in America. On their presentation, the world was idyllic and wonderful before Bush came along. We were at peace and harmony with all living things. And then the devil Bush came along and plunged America into war. And even is spite of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is the true Messiah, come to save us from not having a nanny-state government that will wipe our filthy bottoms for us, he has not been able to overcome the wicked work of the devil Bush.
“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
–President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.”
–Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.”
–Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
“[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
— Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998
“Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.”
-Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
“Hussein has … chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.”
— Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
“There is no doubt that … Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.”
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001
“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them.”
— Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”
— Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons…”
— Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
“He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do”
— Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
— Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.”
— Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein. I believe that that was the right vote. — Sen. Hillary Clinton
There’s the fact that eight months after you perjured your way out of office with your sperm on Monica Lewinsky’s dress, ALL of the nineteen terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/2001 were already in America. They ALL had their marching orders, following a plan and tactics that had been formulated during YOUR presidency.
“Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. … As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press…” — Osama bin Laden
Author James Risen won the Pulitzer Prize on Tuesday for his much ballyhooed New York Times report last December that revealed President Bush’s previously secret terrorist surveillance program – a revelation he uncovered while researching his book “State of War.”
In the same book, however, Risen makes an equally explosive claim about President Clinton’s relationship with the CIA – which his editors at the Times have so far declined to cover.
Upon taking power in 1993, Risen reports, the Clinton administration “began slashing the intelligence budget in search of a peace dividend, and Bill Clinton showed almost no interest in intelligence matters.” The agency cutbacks combined with presidential disinterest took their toll almost immediately.
“Over a three-or-four-year period in the early-to-mid 1990s,” reports Risen, “virtually an entire generation of CIA officers – the people who had won the Cold War – quit or retired. One CIA veteran compared the agency to an airline that had lost all of is senior pilots . . . “
After Clinton CIA Director John Deutch cashiered several senior officers over a scandal in Guatamala, the situation got even worse.
“Morale [at the CIA] plunged to new lows, and the agency became paralyzed by an aversion to high-risk espionage operations for fear they would lead to political flaps. Less willing to take big risks, the CIA was less able to recruit spies in dangerous places such as Iraq.”
So that was the world before George W. Bush attacked Iraq. And Democrats are truly demon-possessed to demonize him the way they do.
But let’s now cut to after the war. Let’s point out for the damn factual record the REALITY that George W. Bush left office as a VICTOR in that war in Iraq.
“I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re gonna see 90,000 American troops come marchin’ home by the end of the summer. You’re gonna see a stable government in Iraq that is actually movin’ toward a representative government. I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months, three months. I know every one of the major players in all the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed, how they have been deciding to use the political process, rather than guns, to settle their differences.” — Vice President Joe Biden
“Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility,” said Obama. “This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant. To achieve that goal, we will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe-haven to terrorists.” — President Barack Obama, February 27, 2009
By the end of 2008, in the beginning of 2009, President Bush’s surge strategy led by General Petraeus and General Odierno, now the chief of staff of the Army, defeated the al Qaeda in Iraq. I saw the transmission because I was advising Petraeus on the ground in Iraq. They showed me the transmissions from al Qaeda that they were intercepting. They said we are defeated, don’t send any more foreign fighters. — General Jack Keane
There is ZERO question that the war in Iraq – a war Democrats supported before treasonously turning against it because the Democrat Party is the PARTY of treason- was WON by the time Obama metastasized his way into the presidency.
Let’s go back to 2009 and see what Barack Obama did treasonously undermined EVERYTHING our generals and military commanders deeply believed we needed to do:
WASHINGTON, Feb 2 2009 (IPS) – CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus, supported by Defence Secretary Robert Gates, tried to convince President Barack Obama that he had to back down from his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months at an Oval Office meeting Jan. 21.
But Obama informed Gates, Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen that he wasn’t convinced and that he wanted Gates and the military leaders to come back quickly with a detailed 16-month plan, according to two sources who have talked with participants in the meeting.
Obama’s decision to override Petraeus’s recommendation has not ended the conflict between the president and senior military officers over troop withdrawal, however. There are indications that Petraeus and his allies in the military and the Pentagon, including Gen. Ray Odierno, now the top commander in Iraq, have already begun to try to pressure Obama to change his withdrawal policy.
A network of senior military officers is also reported to be preparing to support Petraeus and Odierno by mobilising public opinion against Obama’s decision.
Petraeus was visibly unhappy when he left the Oval Office, according to one of the sources. A White House staffer present at the meeting was quoted by the source as saying, “Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama.”
Petraeus, Gates and Odierno had hoped to sell Obama on a plan that they formulated in the final months of the Bush administration that aimed at getting around a key provision of the U.S.-Iraqi withdrawal agreement signed envisioned re-categorising large numbers of combat troops as support troops. That subterfuge was by the United States last November while ostensibly allowing Obama to deliver on his campaign promise.
Barack Obama didn’t have to leave Iraq. HE WANTED TO IN SPITE OF ANY AND ALL WISDOM WHATSOEVER.
And a bloodbath has happened as a direct result of a pathologically wicked Democrat president of a pathologically wicked Democrat Party.
“I know some in Washington would like us to start leaving Iraq now. To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States. It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean we’d allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.” — President George W. Bush
Bush was right. Reality is a witness. And Democrats need to be hunted down with dogs and burned alive if we are to have any chance of survival as a nation.
You listen to the morally diseased Democrat cockroaches who were spreading their filth on that stage last night and it was George W. Bush who somehow created the absolute meltdown in Syria.
First of all, it wasn’t George W. Bush who created the instability in Syria. It was Barack Obama’s evil Federal Reserve policies that essentially created food riots. Because the United States is – but won’t be for much longer, thanks to Obama’s fiscal insanity – the world’s Reserve Currency, all commodities such as oil are bought and sold in U.S. dollars. And Obama’s fiscal policies ended up poisoning the currencies in poorer Middle Eastern countries as food prices skyrocketed relative to purchasing power. Which the leftist mainstream media due to their own failure to comprehend reality had the moral idiocy to call “the Arab Spring” like it was somehow a good thing. They were riots because people were starving because Barack Obama has failed the entire planet so abysmally.
Then there was Obama’s “red line” fiasco after the food riots dissolved Syria into brutal civil war that has now claimed about a quarter of a million lives while Obama dithered. It was such a fiasco that Obama being the pathological liar and coward that he is claimed he didn’t say it. Without any question to any rational mind capable of waking up and smelling the real world emboldened our worst enemies.
Conservative columnist Marc Thiessen more than a year and a half ago prophetically wrote an article with this title:
That article – written not yesterday but more than a year and a half ago – ends with these words:
Today, America is projecting weakness. Obama’s failure to enforce his red line in Syria projected weakness. His constant talk of withdrawal and ending wars so we can focus on “nation-building here at home” projects weakness. His decision to gut the U.S. defense budget and reduce the Army to pre-World War II levels projects weakness.
When your adversaries believe you are weak, they are emboldened to act — and prone to miscalculate. Putin believes there will be no real costs for his intervention in Ukraine because there were no costs in Syria. He knows the Obama Doctrine is to do just enough “not to get mocked.” If he is proved right, it will have consequences far beyond the Crimean Peninsula. A failure to impose costs on Russia will further embolden adversaries from Beijng to Pyongyang to Tehran — all of whom are measuring Obama’s resolve in Ukraine, just as Putin measured Obama’s resolve in Syria and found it lacking.
You tell me how Thiessen wasn’t right now that Putin just swarmed into Syria, ordered the United States it had better stay the hell clear from them unless Obama wanted to get punched right in the mouth, and proceeded to start killing all of the few remaining U.S. allies in the region that we had left. As Russia just snarled, “The Middle East is OURS now, America. Get out, you pathetic little weasel coward Obama turds!” And that is exactly what we’ve done. Just as we’ve gotten out of the largest trading route in the world as China built an island and then militarized that island in the South China Sea while Obama did NOTHING because he has no credible threat whatsoever.
And we did it because Russia with Putin has demonstrated that he has the spine to fight and Barack Obama has demonstrated to the world that he is a pathetic coward who will NOT risk losing the support of his rabid leftist base that yearns for America to suffer terrible defeat so they can exploit the next crisis. Nobody believes that weak little coward pussy will do anything no matter how much our worse enemies humiliate us or walk all over us.
And Democrats have the Lucifer in them to say that was Bush’s fault.
Everything about this debate was nothing but a sick joke.
But there is no possibility of any kind of actual “debate” when you have liars debating liars about whose lies sell to the membership of the most stupid and most depraved and most demonic party in the history of the world.
I’ve pointed this out before: there is NOTHING more dangerous than the right to vote when a people becomes sufficiently depraved. Democrats tell us that we should round-file the 2nd-Amendment-guaranteed right of the people to keep and bear arms even as they tell us that ANY ATTEMPT WHATSOEVER to prevent criminals and illegal immigrants and dead people from voting is “unconstitutional.”
If you put a gun in the hands of a wicked fool, whatever he does with that gun, he will pay the consequences for his foolishness. At least, if decent people are allowed to also keep and bear arms so they can put an end to that wicked fool. But let a wicked fool vote, and he can do so over and over again with impunity and never be held accountable.
In Greece – rather obviously a nation filled with wicked fools – we just saw the results of a vote. It’s kind of interesting. In the Lost Angeles Slimes we have the following account. Allow me to post what I believe is the true gist by selecting a few passages and discussing that. At the very bottom of the article I will have the entire LA Times article available:
In a surprising 61% to 39% result, Greeks said “no” in a referendum on a rescue package that would have kept their debt-ridden country afloat but subjected it to additional austerity measures.
The landslide delivered a sharp rebuke to European Union leaders who had warned that the plebiscite was, in effect, a vote on whether Greece wanted to remain a member of the Eurozone, the group of 19 nations that share the euro currency.
[…]
Jubilant crowds of “no” voters thronged Athens’ main square into the early hours of Monday to celebrate what they said was a chance for Greece to reassert itself and achieve a better deal from creditors. Motorists honked their horns, and triumphant chants of “Oxi! Oxi! Oxi!” — “No! No! No!” in Greek — rose in the balmy Mediterranean air.
But there were already signs of a backlash from angry European officials that could make any new bailout agreement even more difficult. If a deal is not struck quickly, Athens could find itself broke, forcing it to default on its debts and triggering a slide out of the Eurozone.
The left-wing government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, which campaigned for a “no” victory, had “demolished the last bridge on which Europe and Greece could approach a compromise,” Sigmar Gabriel, the German economy minister, told the Tagesspiegel newspaper.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the leader of the Eurozone’s finance ministers, described the poll result as “very regrettable for the future of Greece. For recovery of the Greek economy, difficult measures and reforms are inevitable.”
[…]
Tsipras also said the referendum result had given him a mandate to press international lenders — mostly other Eurozone countries — for a “sustainable” bailout package for the Greek government that would address its staggering debt load and free the country “from the vicious cycle of austerity.”
The Greek economy has contracted by a breathtaking 25% since Athens began accepting emergency loans in exchange for brutal spending cuts in 2010. Tsipras’ radical-left Syriza party swept to power in January on an aggressive anti-austerity platform, setting up the current standoff with Greece’s creditors.
He said Athens was prepared to return to the negotiating table immediately. But with relations at an all-time low, it was unclear whether any of Greece’s European partners would show up and, even if so, whether an agreement could be hashed out before the Greek government runs out of money.
A major debt to the European Central Bank falls due July 20. If Athens fails to pay — as it already did with a loan from the International Monetary Fund last week — and bank coffers are empty, Greece could be forced to introduce a parallel currency and eventually quit the Eurozone.
[…]
Before the ballots were cast, a parade of European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, said they would interpret a win for the “no” side as an expression of Greece’s desire to quit using the euro.
But Tsipras insisted that the vote “did not answer the question ‘in or out of the euro.’ That question must be removed definitively from the discussion.”
Polls consistently show that an overwhelming majority of Greeks want their country to remain in the Eurozone and, by extension, the 28-nation European Union.
Let’s understand some basic facts: Greece owes – and promised to repay when it borrowed – $270 BILLION. To be extravagantly wasted on a tiny nation of 10,775,557 people. That massive government borrowing allowed Greek government to provide benefits that far and vastly exceeded the country’s ability to pay for its largesse. And as Margaret Thatcher once famously put it, “The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” It’s like that saying, “Your mouth is writing checks that your ass can’t cash.” Greek socialists, like ALL socialists EVERYWHERE (especially here in the U.S.), want to live high on the hog and force somebody else to keep paying the tab. And so when the check comes due for that fancy meal in the high price resort, they angrily refuse to pay the tab they racked up.
The European Union is saying, “You’ve got to pay for this.” And the Greek socialist liberal progressives are like, “oh, hell no.” And a major problem now is that if Greece can weasel out of its debt with some stupid vote, then why can’t the OTHER P.I.G.S.? Why can’t Portugal weasel out of its debt that they compiled with the same insanely wicked socialism Obama and the Democrat Party preach here? Why can’t Ireland weasel out of its debt? Why can’t Spain say bye-bye to its debt payments? If the EU allows Greece out of its debt, the entire system will necessarily massively collapse.
These are simply facts. And facts ought to matter. The European Union simply cannot possibly allow Greece to do what Greece insists on doing without basically cutting the throats of every single person in every single member-state of the European Union that would go broke paying for Greece’s AND therefore Portugal’s AND therefore Ireland’s AND therefore Spain’s massive self-inflicted debt addiction. Which again is no different from the debt-addiction of Barack Hussein Obama and every single member of the just-as-socialist Democrat Party machine.
But liberal progressives, and let’s just call them what the hell they are – socialists – are pathologically immune to facts or reality or consequences.
Tsipras dismissed harsh criticism from other European countries on his decision.
“The referendum will take place as scheduled, next Sunday, whether our partners want it or not,” he said.
Allowing this to go to the people was an act of insanity and demagoguery, not an act of leadership. But demagogic delusion with a complete abandonment of true moral leadership is the heart and soul of leftism.
So you have the leftist Greek prime minister just flat-out flagrantly campaigning on a completely altered state of reality. You have this leftist turd Alexis Tsipras – or as I prefer to call him, the Greek Obama – making the most insane promises in the history of the world. And like the American Obama, the Greek Obama is leading his nation and his people straight to a very painful hell.
Just like the United States is headed straight to a very painful hell.
When Obama deceitfully campaigned for president, he told a lot of the same kind of sick lies and made the same sort of delusional fool promises.
Obama promised a “reset in relations” with Russia. He said a weak America that would not pose a threat to Russia would be the foundation for this reset, and that Russia would obviously respond to the fact that America was no longer any kind of a threat to Russia with love and a determination to disarm and become weak in response. He said the same thing in relationship to Iran and that nation’s steadfast determination to possess nuclear weapons with the ballistic missile capability to deliver those missiles at both the little satan Israel and the great satan America. He said the same thing in relationship to the “war on terror” which he renamed “the overseas contingency operation” to broadcast how minimal it would be under his regime. He promised us that the only reason our enemies hated us was because we were too strong and too dominant and pushed our weight around too much.
History has already proven what an abject fool Obama was in every sense of the word in terms of his foreign policy.
In the same way, on the domestic front, Obama made all kinds of fool promises about his giganotosaurus-government stimulus package. Obama demanded – and got – a $3.27 TRILLION stimulus that he promised would fire up the engine of American growth. Over and over and over again, Obama promised his stimulus would create “shovel-ready jobs.” History proves that it in actual fact did the precise opposite. Ultimately Obama actually admitted that:
Obama’s promise to pay back the $3.3 trillion he demagogued America into putting on its credit card bill is as good as Greece’s promise to pay that $270 billion they wanted but just didn’t want to actually pay back.
Greece’s $270 billion of other people’s money worked just as well for them as Obama’s $3.3 trillion in other people’s money worked for us. It didn’t.
A record 93,626,000 Americans have stopped looking for work in an economy that managed to create only one job for every two immigrants the government let in from 2000 to 2014.
A gusher of Obamacare money is fueling a merger frenzy in U.S. healthcare.
The latest jolt came Thursday when Woodland Hills insurer Health Net Inc. agreed to be bought by Medicaid insurer Centene Corp. for $6.8 billion.
And more billion-dollar deals are in the works as health insurers, hospitals and drug companies bulk up in size so they can seize on government spending in Obamacare exchanges, state Medicaid programs and Medicare Advantage for the baby boomers.
Riding high on Wall Street and flush with cash, big health insurers in particular have been on the prowl for deals. Atop the shopping list are companies that boost their government business.
“The Affordable Care Act is really driving this merger mania,” said Gerald Kominski, director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. “There are billions of dollars pouring into the system, and it’s money to buy insurance.”
The resounding rejection of an international bailout deal by voters in Greece raised fears Sunday of the collapse of the country’s banking system, a catastrophic government default, an eventual exit from the euro and potential social unrest.
In a surprising 61% to 39% result, Greeks said “no” in a referendum on a rescue package that would have kept their debt-ridden country afloat but subjected it to additional austerity measures.
The landslide delivered a sharp rebuke to European Union leaders who had warned that the plebiscite was, in effect, a vote on whether Greece wanted to remain a member of the Eurozone, the group of 19 nations that share the euro currency.
The EU is now confronted with one of the gravest challenges to its mission of “ever closer union” between member states.
Jubilant crowds of “no” voters thronged Athens’ main square into the early hours of Monday to celebrate what they said was a chance for Greece to reassert itself and achieve a better deal from creditors. Motorists honked their horns, and triumphant chants of “Oxi! Oxi! Oxi!” — “No! No! No!” in Greek — rose in the balmy Mediterranean air.
But there were already signs of a backlash from angry European officials that could make any new bailout agreement even more difficult. If a deal is not struck quickly, Athens could find itself broke, forcing it to default on its debts and triggering a slide out of the Eurozone.
The left-wing government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, which campaigned for a “no” victory, had “demolished the last bridge on which Europe and Greece could approach a compromise,” Sigmar Gabriel, the German economy minister, told the Tagesspiegel newspaper.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the leader of the Eurozone’s finance ministers, described the poll result as “very regrettable for the future of Greece. For recovery of the Greek economy, difficult measures and reforms are inevitable.”
An emergency summit of Eurozone leaders is to be held Tuesday.
More urgently, officials at the European Central Bank are to meet Monday to review the emergency aid that has propped up Greece’s nearly depleted financial system for the last few months.
If the European Central Bank decides to cut off that lifeline or make it costlier, Greek banks are likely to run out of cash within days. Business would grind to a halt, shops could run short of basic supplies and increasingly agitated residents could find it hard to buy fuel and medicine.
Greek banks have been closed since June 29 on order of the government, and customers limited to about $67 a day in ATM withdrawals. Officials insist that the banks will reopen Tuesday, but analysts doubt this can happen unless the European Central Bank maintains or increases its assistance.
“Our immediate priority is the rapid restoration of the functioning of our banking system and the restoration of our economic stability,” Tsipras said in a nationally televised address Sunday night. “I am certain that the ECB fully understands not only the general economic situation but also the humanitarian dimension which the crisis has taken in the country.”
Tsipras also said the referendum result had given him a mandate to press international lenders — mostly other Eurozone countries — for a “sustainable” bailout package for the Greek government that would address its staggering debt load and free the country “from the vicious cycle of austerity.”
The Greek economy has contracted by a breathtaking 25% since Athens began accepting emergency loans in exchange for brutal spending cuts in 2010. Tsipras’ radical-left Syriza party swept to power in January on an aggressive anti-austerity platform, setting up the current standoff with Greece’s creditors.
He said Athens was prepared to return to the negotiating table immediately. But with relations at an all-time low, it was unclear whether any of Greece’s European partners would show up and, even if so, whether an agreement could be hashed out before the Greek government runs out of money.
A major debt to the European Central Bank falls due July 20. If Athens fails to pay — as it already did with a loan from the International Monetary Fund last week — and bank coffers are empty, Greece could be forced to introduce a parallel currency and eventually quit the Eurozone.
Financial analysts say that this is not a threat in the next few days, but warn that the probability of a “Grexit” down the line has increased considerably because of Sunday’s vote.
Before the ballots were cast, a parade of European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, said they would interpret a win for the “no” side as an expression of Greece’s desire to quit using the euro.
But Tsipras insisted that the vote “did not answer the question ‘in or out of the euro.’ That question must be removed definitively from the discussion.”
Polls consistently show that an overwhelming majority of Greeks want their country to remain in the Eurozone and, by extension, the 28-nation European Union.
Merkel and other European leaders must now ponder whether to let Greece go bust and drop out of the Eurozone or whether such a course would inflict irreparable damage to the credibility of the euro and to the project of greater European unity. The Greek debt crisis is the severest test the euro has faced since it was introduced more than a decade ago.
To try to entice his Eurozone partners back to the bargaining table, Tsipras is apparently considering shuffling his negotiating team to include a broader spectrum of members. Several European officials have said openly that they no longer trust Tsipras or his Syriza party; a Greek delegation with some members drawn from other parties could be more palatable.
“That will show that Greece does not want a conflict,” said political commentator George Papageorgiou. “If there is a consensual approach from the Greek part, that could facilitate a consensual approach from the other part.”
Dijsselbloem, the Eurozone finance ministers’ chief, said the first move was Athens’. “We will now wait for the initiatives of the Greek authorities,” he said.
The size of the victory for the “no” campaign came as a surprise both inside and outside Greece after a flurry of opinion polls showed voters to be split down the middle. Bitter disagreement over the significance and possible effect of the plebiscite cleaved living rooms and workplaces across the country.
Just over 62% of the country’s 9.9 million voters cast a ballot, easily surpassing the mandatory threshold of 40% for a referendum to be considered valid.
Surveys suggested that young people voted “no” in droves. Many agreed with Tsipras’ contention that the bailout proposals on offer from Greece’s lenders demanded too much austerity on top of years of brutal spending cuts and would hit the poor and elderly disproportionately hard.
“These measures would worsen the situation,” said teacher Paula Andriotaki, 33, after casting her vote in a local school on a bright and warm afternoon. “We try to see light, but we get worse and worse.”
“Yes” supporters had urged Greeks to join them in order to guarantee Athens’ continued place in the Eurozone. They said that membership in the wider European Union could also be at risk and that Greece could not afford to be isolated.
A 40-year-old man named Giorgos, who declined to give his surname, blamed Tsipras for passing the buck.
“I would have preferred the referendum not to have happened,” he said. “I believe it is a political alibi. We are being asked to take a decision that should have been taken by someone else.”
The ballot paper was the subject of some criticism, because the question it asked was wordy and couched in jargon and the check box for “no” was above that for “yes.”
Moreover, the bailout deal referred to was technically moot. The offer from Greece’s creditors expired Tuesday night, after talks with Athens collapsed over Tsipras’ surprise decision to call a referendum. Creditors say that negotiations on a new agreement must start from scratch.
Because of the convoluted ballot question, and the conflicting claims of whether the real issue at stake was the future of Greece as a member of the Eurozone, many Greeks complained of confusion over just what was being asked of them.
“I don’t know what result I would like to see,” said a 19-year-old voter named Dimitris, who was still undecided as he prepared to enter a voting booth. “It would be a disaster to leave the euro, but it would also be disastrous to accept more austerity measures. ‘Yes’ is a bad choice, but ‘no’ is also suicidal.”
Sunday’s referendum was Greece’s first in 41 years. In 1974, Greeks were asked to decide whether their country should retain its monarchy.
The answer then: also a resounding “no.”
Special correspondent Pavlos Zafiropoulos contributed to this report.
One of the things that the left loves to do is hang all the consequences of “austerity” on the heads of conservatives. On their view, the crisis has NOTHING to do with the $270 billion they borrowed in Greece and now refuse to repay; it’s because of “austerity” that the economy has collapsed.
Every leftist is a morally sick individual who essentially whines, “I want a mansion and a yacht, and if you don’t give them to me, it’s your fault I’m poor.”
And then there are the lies from the liars: at the heart of the “austerity” that the European Union is imposing on Greece is the demand for Greece to raise taxes. HOW MANY CONSERVATIVES DO YOU HEAR CALLING FOR TAX HIKES???? This has NOTHING to do with conservatives, either the sick and diseased and insane borrowing or the attempts of the lenders to get their fool money back. Rather, this is socialists European Union liberals trying to get their money back from socialist Greek liberals who are crazier than they are.
Conservatives call for LOW TAXES because LOWERING TAX RATES PRODUCES MORE REVENUES.
Please keep in mind that true conservatives like myself write articles such as this one that is particularly relevant given what is happening right now in Europe:
So from now on, any fool who blames Republicans or conservatives for failed “austerity” seriously needs to get a punch in the mouth.
What we are seeing in Greece is nothing more than the abject failure of socialism to deal with the crisis created by socialism. Which is of course hardly surprising to anyone who is capable of thinking.
Jesus warned His followers about the nature of the last days:
“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” — Luke 21:7-9
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. (Cheers, applause.) We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys who have so little, who’ve been told that they cannot have what they dream, that they cannot be what they imagine. Yes, they can.”
Barack Obama made HIMSELF the living embodiment of the dreams and the hopes of godless mankind. It was a perverse borrowing of Jesus’ teaching concerning Himself:
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5
Obama’s blatant messianic grandeur was amazing, surpassing even Adolf Hitler’s claims of himself and his magnificence (all delivered in an incredibly cynical pretense of “humility” that is stunning in its self-refutation):
“The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.”
Barack Obama’s message was and remains simple: “The God of the Bible is intolerant and hateful. Put your trust in ME. Put your faith in MY GOVERNMENT and MY POWER to fundamentally transform the United States of America according to MY ANTICHRIST AGENDA. Make ME your savior; make ME your deliverer. Vote AGAINST the God of the Bible and vote for ME.”
If you listen to a Republican’s message – and particularly a conservative Republican’s – you will hear a promise that the candidate will get the government off our backs, will cut taxes, will cut regulations, will allow businesses to grow rather than punishing them, and therefore you will have the opportunity to get a job, improve your life, work toward a better future. When you listen to a Democrat’s message – and especially Obama’s – you hear someone representing themselves as the living embodiment of a colossal government that will take care of you, provide for you, take other people’s stuff so your Big Brother can dole it out to you. And that is precisely why the Democrat Party is pathologically fascist and why the Antichrist will come as a liberal, as a socialist, as a man who embodies the promise that human government is the Ultimate Master.
Obama’s message has prevailed in America. And it prevailed because he is a slanderer and a liar who came with a false message. As the greatest example of this, Obama falsely came to America “as a Christian” who claimed, “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman” and “as a Christian” that “it is also a sacred union.” But he was a liar and a deceiver. When asked if he would actually seek to be honest and trustworthy in what he said about marriage, Obama refused. He said he was against a constitutional amendment that would make his view of marriage the law. On what grounds? Obama falsely said: “Because historically — because historically, we have not defined marriage in our constitution. It’s been a matter of state law. That has been our tradition. I mean, let’s break it down.” And Obama further mocked faith itself when he said, “I think my faith is strong enough and my marriage is strong enough that I can afford those civil rights to others, even if I have a different perspective or different view.”
We now see how warped and false and dishonest and deceitful and depraved EVERYTHING Obama claimed to stand for was. Because not only did he fundamentally lie about his view of homosexual marriage – and yes, this according to the man who ran his dishonest campaign for him – but he fundamentally lied about what he said about the states having any right to decide or define marriage and about people of any opposing view to actually have any right to any conscience or “different perspective or different view.” Because Obama came out and CELEBRATED the Supreme Court’s decision that STATE LAW DOES NOT DEFINE MARRIAGE. Obama is a liar from hell. And NO, people should NOT have a right to any different perspective or different view. YOU WILL BELIEVE AS THE STATE COMPELS YOU TO BELIEVE, PERIOD.
If you are a Democrat today, you believe in lies and you believe in an Antichrist agenda. Further, you yourself are an antichrist.
Today we see in so many ways the blatant hostility to the truth. Jesus prophesied the rabid hostility that would always characterize those who took their stand in the Word of God:
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed My teaching, they will obey yours also. — John 15:18-20
But the wicked, unbelieving world that follows the devil and follows Obama certainly doesn’t follow the teachings of Christians any longer, does it? Rather, what we are seeing today is cynical, depraved LIARS like Barack Hussein Obama, while falsely claiming to be “Christians,” are deceiving the masses and imposing THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what Christ and His Word taught. We live in the age of Isaiah 5:20:
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
And woe to YOU if you follow these lying perverts of truth.
As for gay marriage, just a few years ago Elena Kagan ruled, “There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage.” Because she and all her kind stand for nothing but hypocrisy. It didn’t help her wicked master Obama when he was trying to carry out his grand deception. For the record, the Constitution has not changed one iota since this depraved and wicked INjustice was stuck on the Supreme Court by the most wicked president in the history of the world’s oldest republic. There is STILL no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage. The only thing that has changed is we are more wicked now and more willing to believe lies as a result of our wickedness.
When I was going to seminary years ago, I actually received a powerful sense that one day I would end up in prison for my belief in the Word of God concerning marriage, concerning homosexuality, concerning what Jesus taught about marriage in Matthew 19, when He declared:
And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, and said, ‘FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH ‘? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” — Matthew 19:4-6
– concerning what the Old Testament that Jesus declared He was going to fulfill to the very letter declared was “an abomination” and “a detestable act” (Leviticus 20:13); and concerning what the New Testament repeatedly specifically condemns in 1 Corinthians 6:9, in Jude 1:7, 1 Timothy 1:10, Revelation 21:27 and most especially Romans 1:18-31 which is as crystal clear as it gets that approval of homosexuality is the rock-bottom lowest and most ungodly level any culture can degenerate to.
Today I am in a very senior level of leadership in my church. There is now little question that it is merely a matter of time before two homosexuals demand to be “married” in my church and I and my church will lose in a perverted, wicked court of “law.” Habakkuk wailed the same wail that I wail today:
The law has become paralyzed and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted. — Habakkuk 1:4
Democrats call it “economic inequality” and “climate change” and God calls it His divine judgment because of the wickedness of Democrats. And every single time the abject godless wickedness of Democrats brings about God’s wrath, twisted, vile, perverted, demonic Democrats cite the very wrath that they brought on America as their reason to pursue even MORE wickedness. It is who they are. It is what they do. And they will not stop until they are screaming in agony in the fire of hell forever and ever.
You look at what’s happening in Greece right now. And realize that’s coming to America. And the same secular humanist progressive liberal socialist – in other words, the same Democrat – policies that guaranteed that Greece would catastrophically go bankrupt is similarly ensuring that America will plunge into bankruptcy and chaos. And the incredible thing is that in Greece, just as in America, liberals/socialists decry and blame NOT THE INSANE SPENDING THAT LED THEM TO BANKRUPTCY BUT THE AUSTERITY THAT IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO INSANE SPENDING as the cause of the crisis. For liberals, the logic is very simple: I keep insanely spending money and I WILL NOT stop, so you take my credit card away – and so it’s YOUR fault that I can’t keep insanely spending and so it’s therefore YOUR fault for whatever tragedy befalls me. Because these people are profoundly wicked and dishonest and deceived and they WILL NOT be awakened by reality no matter how massively it comes crashing down upon them.
So the liberal/socialist Greek leaders who are the equivalent of Democrats in America say they’ll meet in July to deal with the crisis when the crisis is going to destroy the nation IN JUNE. These people are insane; they are morally insane.
As are we. And anybody who believed anything other than what is happening in Greece would happen when the country voted for liberals/socialists is beyond insane. There is simply no hope for these people; they are completely blind to reality. They will not believe the truth no matter what.
I’ve been pointing out the point that words mean NOTHING and facts mean NOTHING today to Democrats. They are so pathologically dishonest and so self-deceived that they simply twist the truth and twist reality to whatever their perverted minds want “truth” and “reality” to be. Such that being “black” doesn’t mean being “black” any more; no, it means being a rabid liberal. Such that Clarence Thomas does not qualify as a black man because he doesn’t meet the twisted, warped, depraved mockery of truth and reality that Democrats have redefined “black” to mean. And in the same way, what do words like “male” and “female” mean any more? Don’t bother to ask a Democrat, because Democrats are warped and perverted beyond belief. Bruce Jenner is a woman to them but Sarah Palin fails to qualify – because these people are warped and depraved and dishonest and deceived beyond any reach of reality or truth. What does it mean to be a rapist? Don’t ask a Democrat, because these people have raped reality and raped truth to the point where it is dead to them. They are perverts with a perverted view of everything under heaven.
Which is why God in His wisdom knew that hell was the only possible place for them.
So with all of that by way of instruction I give you another article which simply goes to underscore the abject mockery of truth or reality or plain, common sense that the left has utterly abandoned in its foolishness and contempt for God and His ways:
A terrible precedent
By David B. Rivkin Jr., Elizabeth Price Foley
June 29, 2015, 5:00 AM
In King vs. Burwell, the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act permits individuals who purchase insurance on the federal exchange to receive taxpayer subsidies. Though the King decision pleases the ACA’s ardent supporters, it undermines the rule of law, particularly the Constitution’s separation of powers.
Under Section 1401 of the ACA, tax credits are provided to individuals who purchase qualifying health insurance in an “[e]xchange established by the State under Section 1311.” Section 1311 defines an exchange as a “governmental agency or nonprofit entity that is established by a State.”
As Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent notes, one “would think the answer would be obvious” that pursuant to this clear language, subsidies are available only through state-established exchanges.
Yet the King majority ignored what the ACA actually says, in favor of what the Obama administration believes it ought to have said, effectively rewriting the language to read “exchange established by the State or federal government.”
Scalia observes that “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’” Like Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass,” the majority claims that when the court is asked to interpret a word, “it means just what [the court chooses] it to mean — neither more nor less.”
To reach the desired meaning, the King majority declared that “an exchange established by the State” was somehow ambiguous, enabling it to ignore the text and advance instead its vision of the ACA’s overarching purpose. But the precedent upon which the King majority relied for this contextual interpretation, FDA vs. Brown and Williamson Tobacco Corp. (2000), involved a fundamentally different situation.
In that case, a group of tobacco manufacturers challenged the Food and Drug Administration’s authority to regulate tobacco products as “medical devices” or “drugs.” The court concluded that the words “device” and “drug” did not directly address tobacco and were consequently ambiguous.
The court looked beyond the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA, for contextual clues, discovering that Congress had subsequently passed several statutes allowing the continued sale of tobacco products, while regulating their labeling and advertising. This suggested to the justices that Congress did not intend tobacco to be regulated under the FFDCA as a drug or device.
In King, by contrast, there were no subsequent statutes providing contextual clues about congressional intent. The only reliable evidence was contained in the act’s language itself. This extra-textual approach is deeply problematic for the rule of law, since discerning a statute’s meaning from its context is always a dicey proposition, necessitating judicial inquiry into inchoate matters such as the law’s “purpose.”
Ascertaining a law’s purpose from evidence outside its text is virtually impossible, given that Congress consists of 535 members, each of whom is motivated by different purposes. This is why, at least until King, the court has not resorted to contextual interpretation when the text is plain.
In the words of Palmer vs. Massachusetts (1939), contextual interpretation is a “subtle business, calling for great wariness lest what professes to be … attempted interpretation of legislation becomes legislation itself.” Yet this is exactly what happened in King: Attempted interpretation became legislation itself. By ignoring what the ACA actually says, in favor of what the King majority believes the statute ought to have said or what it thinks Congress meant to say, the court upset the entire constitutional balance.
The King majority acknowledged that the ACA is full of “inartful drafting” and was written “behind closed doors, rather than through the traditional legislative process.” It also conceded that it was passed using unusual parliamentary procedures, and “[a]s a result, the Act does not reflect the type of care and deliberation that one might expect of such significant legislation.”
Despite all these flaws, the majority felt compelled to save Congress, and the ACA, from its own foibles. Specifically, the King majority believed that applying the ACA’s plain meaning “would destabilize the individual insurance market in any State with a Federal Exchange, and likely create the very ‘death spirals’ that Congress designed the Act to avoid.”
Even if a loss of subsidies would have exacerbated the death spiral, courts are emphatically not in the law-writing business. Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution grants “all” lawmaking power to Congress,” not merely “some.” The job of the judiciary is to implement laws, warts and all.
When judges take it upon themselves to “fix” a law — or to bless an executive “fix” — they diminish political accountability by encouraging Congress to be sloppy. And they bypass the political process established by the Constitution’s separation of powers, arrogating to itself — and the executive — the power to amend legislation.
This leads to bad laws, bad policy outcomes and fosters the cynical belief that “law is politics.”

We are dealing with a group of wicked, deceived people who cannot be dealt with. Words mean NOTHING to them; reality means NOTHING to them; truth means NOTHING to them. It is their desire and their very nature to be completely deceived by liars and their lies.
We live in an age of LAWLESSNESS against God’s Laws. And the Bible described this time:
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:3
2 Thessalonians 2:7 describes “the mystery of lawlessness” that will get worse and worse and worse and culminate just as the Antichrist, the beast, comes.
We live in the ultimate final days of REBELLION against God and His Word. And our day is characterized by a spirit of lawlessness by which even our judges and most especially our president are lawless thugs and tyrants who impose wickedness on the land and literally defy God to bring His wrath upon their people and their nation.
“The mystery of lawlessness.” I think that’s such a powerful phrase. I now understand it as I watch pure EVIL becoming transcendent in the world and no one is doing anything to stop it or prevent it. To the extent that we have human government, it is either doing NOTHING to stop the rise of evil – such as the cases of Islamic State and other Islamists creating vicious caliphates across increasingly broad land masses, such as the case of Russia gobbling up helpless nations while the world does nothing meaningful to punish them and restore what was seized; such as Iran feverishly working toward nuclear weapons while a US administration actively helps them do so and in so doing facilitates the proliferation of nuclear weapons across the Middle East as Sunni Muslim nations read the writing on the wall understanding the sheer moral idiocy of Obama’s so-called “deal” with Iran and begin to work toward their own bomb to try to respond to the Shiite Iranian nuclear threat – or government is itself becoming the SOURCE of evil as secular humanist liberal government murders sixty million innocent babies in America alone by abortion, as government imposes rabid homosexuality on Christians and forces them to bow down before the sodomy of what used to be “Christendom”, as secular humanist liberal government becomes the engine of abandoning Israel and leaving the Apple of God’s eye dependent on the coming Antichrist in direct fulfillment of Daniel 9:27. And if you are a Democrat don’t think for one second that you won’t one day be held accountable by a wrathful God for the government that you voted for and that your support enabled. “The mystery of evil” is that God’s people are watching evil rise and we cannot do anything to prevent it. And we are left shocked and dismayed that the godless and the wicked are so transcendent and so powerful and so unstoppable as we enter the last days before the full wrath of God is revealed against this godless, wicked world in the form of the Tribulation.
Obama has simply abrogated the law wherever he has wished. On health care, where he abrogated the clear meaning and intent of even his OWN law. On homosexual marriage, where Obama simply declared himself exalted above the Defense of Marriage Act that was approved by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. And now repeatedly on the issue of immigration, where Obama literally imposed measures that failed to win approval in BOTH branches of Congress (the DREAM Act).
Like Obama, the Antichrist will be a profoundly lawless man. There will be laws aplenty. Antichrist will simply ignore them and make up “the law” to benefit himself, his ideology and his politics as he goes along.
And in the Democrat Party we have a massive political organization who cheers that and wants more and more wrath brought upon this land that they so hate because this was once “One nation under God” and they hate God and His Christ more than they love their own lives.
That is why this man is coming and why they will believe him and worship him and take his mark on their right hands or on their foreheads:
“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people. And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease….” — Daniel 8:23-25
Again, I’ve said this before and can simply quote myself because I’ve been consistently saying the same thing over and over again as the world prepares to be deceived by the coming beast:
The coming Antichrist will be a man of cunning words. The NIV in verse 23 describes the Antichrist as “a master of intrigue.” His soul will swim in deceit and deception and he will understand the “dark sentences” of deceiving lies that capture fallen humanity. And he will leverage his lies powerfully to destroy his enemies (i.e., the people of God who believe the Bible that liberals so rabidly despise). Interestingly the prophet Daniel is given wisdom to untangle mysteries such that men can know the truth; Antichrist has the opposite gift, the “shrewdness” (the Hebrew word is also translated WISDOM) to so tie the truth into so many knots that no man will be able to know the truth apart from God’s revealing. And of course since the coming Antichrist is to be ultimately revealed only after the Rapture of Jesus Christ’s Church on earth, there won’t be a lot of “God’s revealing” as Antichrist emerges to seize power. Which is to say the chronology appears to be this: 1) the Rapture in which every single human being on earth with the Holy Spirit who CAN know the truth is removed; 2) the Antichrist is revealed and seizes power with his lies to a godless, stupid world. (There WILL be believers during the Tribulation, but they will BECOME believers and of course there will be FAR too few to oppose Antichrist at the early point when he takes over the world).
And that sounds familiar, doesn’t it??? Because OBAMA is a man of deceit and lies and arrogant boasting like no man I have ever seen.
Antichrist will be a man of deceit and lies and arrogant boasting. That’s what Daniel 8:25 (and other passages) teach. He will be a constant twister of words. And there will be no Fox News to try to remind you of what the man really said before he said whatever he decided to say next.
Antichrist will be so incredibly arrogant that he will actually believe he is God. Which may make him more humble than Barack Obama, who seems to believe he’s ABOVE God.
If you want to learn about the beast, about what kind of man he will be and how he will act, just watch Obama. And learn the essence of political evil from him.
We’re seeing in Barack Hussein Obama the death in America. But we’re also seeing the prime textbook example of how the coming Antichrist will deceive, slander and manipulate his way to total power.
One other thing: I used to believe that the Antichrist would be an incredibly capable leader; I now realize that is not true: Antichrist won’t be a great leader, but a great deceiver. Like Obama, Antichrist will be a LOUSY leader and his policies will fall apart and fail one after the other. But as a skilled liar and slanderer he will always redirect blame to some other party and the world will keep believing his lies and thinking if they just give Antichrist more power he’ll be able to overcome the resistance of the bad people (e.g. the Christians who come to faith after the Rapture during the Tribulation). So Antichrist will be able to seize more and more power and then be more and more and more incompetent with that power as he drives the world into collapse and finally into Armageddon
I know whom I have believed, and take my stand with Him and with His Word against all the forces and unholy power of a dark and wicked government that will only culminate in the ultimate spirit of godlessness otherwise known as the greatest act of government-imposed socialism otherwise known as the mark of the beast.
Right now, and until the nation collapses and the beast comes, every vestige of liberal Democrat power is a giant, vast reciprocating engine whose ever downward stroke makes America more and more wicked and more worthy of divine judgment and wrath.
I end with the words of The Word:
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. — 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
I’ve been thinking about the Book of Habakkuk lately. The prophet was railing about the vile wickedness that he saw all around him in Judah (which had remained faithful to God while the northern kingdom of Israel was wicked until God brought the vicious Assyrians against them and hauled them away never to return). And the prophet said:
“This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received in a vision. How long, O LORD, must I call for help? But you do not listen! “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight. The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.” — Habakkuk 1:4
And what does God say? Does He say, “Oh, no, things are going swimmingly well…” Does He say, “Golly gee, you’re right, but I can’t do anything about it.” No. God says this:
The LORD replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it. I am raising up the Babylonians, a cruel and violent people. They will march across the world and conquer other lands. They are notorious for their cruelty and do whatever they like. — Hab 1:5-7
But it is Habakkuk’s last and most powerful indictment against the wickedness of his people that I am most taken with today:
“The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.”
Satan has no greater hold anywhere in America than he does in our court rooms, our places of “law” and “justice.”
I look at what our Supreme Court did today in imposing homosexuality upon a nation that was once “one nation, under God” and which once called upon the LORD and I weep for the nation under the violent wrath of God that we have become under the immoral wickedness of the Democrat Party platform. I read what God’s Word declares and I shudder:
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
In all of human history NO culture EVER sanctioned homosexual marriage; we are THE most wicked and perverted people in the history of the world, unless you consider the Old Testament peoples who inhabited the land of Canaan that God told His people to utterly exterminate lest the filth of their wickedness contaminate them (as it did). We’ve just reached the ultimate rock bottom that God described in Romans chapter one for us.
This is as good a place as any to point out what a depraved LIAR Barack Obama turned out to be on every issue under the sun INCLUDING ON THE NATURE OF MARRIAGE. When he was running for president, in order to get himself elected under false pretenses, Obama said this:
WARREN: There’s a lot more I’d like to ask on that. We have 15 other questions here. Define marriage.
OBAMA: I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix. But —
WARREN: Would you support a Constitutional Amendment with that definition?
OBAMA: No, I would not.
WARREN: Why not?
OBAMA: Because historically — because historically, we have not defined marriage in our constitution. It’s been a matter of state law. That has been our tradition. I mean, let’s break it down. The reason that people think there needs to be a constitutional amendment, some people believe, is because of the concern that — about same-sex marriage. I am not somebody who promotes same-sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions. I do believe that we should not — that for gay partners to want to visit each other in the hospital for the state to say, you know what, that’s all right, I don’t think in any way inhibits my core beliefs about what marriage are. I think my faith is strong enough and my marriage is strong enough that I can afford those civil rights to others, even if I have a different perspective or different view.
Obama’s senior political strategist openly admitted that Obama lied on that answer. He knew he would never get elected telling the truth. So he lied so he could begin to pervert and deprave America to his demonic agenda from the office of president. But we can now clearly point out that Obama lied in another profound way: Obama said he was opposed to some amendment to the Constitution because why? Marriage has always been a matter of state law. And people ought to have the right to their own different perspectives or different views. Well, NOT ANY MORE. Because the same pervert president who said that lying garbage is now celebrating the Supreme Court IMPOSING HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE ON EVERY SINGLE STATE WHETHER IT HAS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE OR A DIFFERENT VIEW OR NOT.
Barack Obama’s mission was to a false angel of light just like his master Lucifer from within the White House. And it worked. He never would have been elected had he told the American people the truth up front about where he stood. So he lied to them and then proceeded to incrementally lead them to some “shifting stance” on what the Bible declared is “detestable” and “an abomination” and never ONCE “shifted” FROM that “stance.”
But as a dishonest hypocrite she proceeded to do the EXACT SAME THING all over again.
“The law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.” — Habakkuk 1:4
The Word of God also declares:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! — Isaiah 5:20
And that is EXACTLY what Lord Sauron and his nine ringwraiths have now done in the wickedness of their dishonest perversion. These people are not good or honest; they are liars and hypocrites to the cores of their rotten souls. And before this wicked ruling homosexuals had the same rights any of the rest of us did: a homosexual man had every right to marry any adult woman who would have him, the same as me. And it is hardly any decent person’s fault that they did not wish to exercise their basic freedom.
In a recent article I wrote about the Confederate flag, I quoted Abraham Lincoln speaking against slavery. “You cannot have a right to do wrong,” he said. Homosexuality is WRONG. It is wrong according to every single world religion and it is even horribly wrong according to Darwinian evolution. It is just plain WRONG.
“God gave America over” and “the wrath of God is revealed” against America. And we’re going to receive in our persons “the due penalty” of our error.
Liberal progressives decry the God of the Bible and sit in judgment over Him and say He’s intolerant and unloving. Well, they might think they’re more moral than God and they might think they’ve got a better plan than God in their arrogant depravity; but what they DON’T have is their own UNIVERSE. But that doesn’t stop them from raising their middle fingers at God.
And I have been watching the SAME people from the SAME place do the SAME vicious things that the vicious Assyrians and the wicked Babylonians did when God delivered Israel and ultimately Judah over to these terrorist monsters because of their wickedness and betrayal of God. Because as much as the liberal Democrats despise the days of the Old Testament, THEY BROUGHT THEM BACK. IN SPADES.
If I may be crass for a moment, you want your precious sodomy, America, and God will ensure that you get it right up your collectivist ASS. And it’s going to hurt nightmare bad when you get it.
Under Barack Hussein Obama and his wicked vision for America, I have watched terrorism EXPLODE while the nation under him deteriorates like a piece of rotting meat. The terrorist ARMY Islamic State basically didn’t exist when George W. Bush turned the presidency over to Barack Obama. Iraq was – and this in Barack Obama’s words – “sovereign, stable and self-reliant.” Obama’s vice president – trying to steal the credit for the VICTORY that George W. Bush had won with his highly successful surge strategy that Obama and Biden had bitterly opposed and demagogued – said that Iraq was going to be “one of the great achievements of this administration.”
That was pretty bad. But look what the Los Angeles Times says of 2o15 compared to that awful time I described above:
Terrorist attacks and their toll soared in 2014, U.S. reports
By Paul Richter
▼The number of terrorist attacks jumped 35% on 2014 and fatalities soared 81%, State Department says
▼The number of people abducted by terrorists tripled in 2014, to more than 9,400
▼The surge in terrorists’ carnage comes as governments weaken or collapse in the Middle East and Africa
June 19, 2015, 3:07 PM |Reporting from Washington
Terrorist violence exploded around the world last year, driven by a surge in attacks by the Islamic State extremist group in the Middle East and Boko Haram in West Africa, the State Department said in a report Friday..
The number of terrorist attacks jumped 35%, to 13,500, while the number of fatalities soared 81%, to 33,000, the report says. A major factor was an increase in especially deadly attacks, including 20 assaults that killed 100 or more people. […]
In other words, “terrorist violence exploded around the world last year” FROM THE YEAR BEFORE WHEN IT WAS ALREADY EXPLODING.
We are powerless against the 1 billion Muslims – with over a hundred million minimum fully radicalized. Attacks will get more and more numerous, more and more organized, better and better funded and planned. And we’ve got NOTHING but a weak puppet-pawn of the devil to keep us safe.
We are looking at terrorism and violence unlike anything the world has ever seen. And we’re looking at Obama’s false promises and his lies and his demonic incompetence and his lies to a deluded, depraved and wicked people who keep believing them.
Barack Hussein Obama – the arrogant, narcissistic, pathologically wicked self-deceived demon-possessed liar that he is – claimed that Islamic State was “JayVee” even AFTER they seized a major city in Iraq. And then lied about it like the pathetic little coward that he truly is. He claimed that he had wiped out al Qaeda. When anyone who had eyes to see and ears to hear understood that the exact OPPOSITE was happening.
We’re being bullied around like the school yard PUNK. Because that’s what we voted to be TWICE under the metastasizing cancer that is the Obama presidency.
If we fight China, we will lose. Because Reverend Jeremiah Wright – Barack Obama’s wicked pastor – spoke as a prophet when he railed:
“No, no, no! NOT God bless America! God DAMN America!”
America under the wicked king Barack Hussein Obama DARE NOT fight Russia.
We are afraid and we ought to be afraid. Because God has turned His back on us.
Soon, the beast will come, the Antichrist, and the whole world will worship him (Revelation 13:1-8) and take his mark on their right hands or on their foreheads (Revelation 13:16-18).
I used to wonder how America could possibly collapse. There was a time when this nation was great and mighty like nothing that had ever been before it. We had a powerful president whom I served as my commander-in-chief. And he defeated the only power that rivaled us for greatness.
Now I look at our TRUE debt and I look at our pathetic military weakness under Obama and I see our collapse quite easily. We are a weak and cowardly and corrupt DISGRACE under the cancer of Obama and his worship of sodomy on an altar of sixty million babies murdered by Democrats in the abortion mills. Compared to our current census, nearly one-in-five Americans has been MURDERED by Democrats. The Democrat abortion war has consumed TEN TIMES the horror toll that the Nazis consumed in the Holocaust. For every American soldier killed in the entire Vietnam War, Democrats murdered more than one thousand babies in their vicious war on children. And we’re going to get our national butt-raping soon.
It’s only a question of which of our enemies does it. Or maybe they will all three join forces and do it together.
I used to wonder how the world – and particularly how Americans – could literally worship the coming political beast. And then I watched in sick horror as the crowds adored and worshiped him in a literal TEMPLE that he built to adore himself with and celebrate his adoration by a pathologically and pathetically deceived people.
I used to wonder how the mark of the beast would work. I mean, how could a government – even a world government – make it impossible for every single human being on earth to be able to buy or sell? Surely there was always at least BARTER available? Now it is all-too easy to see. First the world will abandon paper/coin currency and go to digital currency. We’re already nearly all the way there now. Then it will be a simple matter of implanting a chip – that previous generations would NEVER have accepted but which we are finally wicked enough to swallow given the fact that we reject God’s Word enough to swallow the perversion of homosexual sodomy – which will be all-too easy for a tyrant to seize control over.
Socialism is the government taking over the economy; the mark of the beast is the ultimate example of everything the Democrat Party has dreamed of and schemed of and worked toward for the last fifty years as the government will successfully so take over the entire economy and every aspect of it that people will literally be unable to participate in the economy in any way, any shape or any form unless they do EXACTLY what the government requires them to do.
It will be an act of wickedness, an act of worship, an act of taking the easy solution, an act of abandoning God to appease evil, to accept the mark of the beast. But the people are almost eager to do that very thing now in our age of socialism and the worship of the State as Savior rather than a discredited, “intolerant” God.
I used to wonder how America would betray Israel when no nation has ever been closer to Israel or risen to her aid more. The Word of God is crystal clear: the Seven Years of Divine Tribulation will begin with one specific event: the Antichrist will sign a seven-year peace covenant with the State of Israel according to Daniel 9:27. But we already see how Barack Obama has turned his back on Israel and how Israel now fully comprehends that it cannot possibly trust the United States for her security.
Israel is in greater danger than EVER. And Barack Hussein Obama is working to empower Israel’s GREATEST ENEMY who has REPEATEDLY stated its goal to destroy her and literally wipe her off the map.
Because of the wickedness of Barack Hussein Obama, Israel has nowhere else to turn BUT to the Antichrist.
It’s so easy to see now.
Get ready for hell, America. You voted for it. And you’re going to get it. You’re going to get the sodomy you so yearn for.
Only the people God will rise up to send to deal with your obscene national wickedness won’t be using any lubricants.
We will not allow President Obama to bully Louisiana into accepting an expansion of Obamacare.
“We have rejected Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion in Louisiana because it would cost Louisiana taxpayers up to $1.7 billion over the next ten years and move nearly 250,000 Louisianians from private coverage to Medicaid.
“The disastrous rollout of Obamacare is a case in point that we don’t need top-down, one-size-fits-all federal mandates, and instead should continue to focus on health care solutions that make sense for Louisiana.
“Obamacare needs to be repealed. The dysfunction of the website and the President’s broken promises on being able to keep your health plan are just the tip of the iceberg in regards to the problems with this law.”
A number of governors, particularly in red states, have stood their ideological ground and chosen not to expand, citing concerns about the additional financial burden. The federal government will pay for 100% of the expansion for the first three years, then gradually reduce its subsidy to 90% by 2020.
Some governors have said that expansion would involve additional costs that they couldn’t afford and enlarge a program that they consider broken. In many states, however, various analyses show that states would stand to gain millions of dollars by expanding the program, at least initially.
The article I cite above detailing the collapse of the health delivery system in Kentucky begins:
LEXINGTON, Ky. — While Kentucky has gained national prominence as the only Southern state to fully embrace Obamacare, its hospitals say the law has left them facing billions of dollars in cuts and forced them to lay off staff, shut down services and worry for their financial health and, in some cases, survival.
The Kentucky Hospital Association outlined its concerns in a report released Friday called “Code Blue,” saying payment cuts to hospitals are expected to reach nearly $7 billion through 2024. “Kentucky hospitals will lose more money under the Affordable Care Act than they gain in revenue from expanded coverage,” it said, experiencing a net loss of $1 billion by 2020.
“This report provides the real picture of what our hospitals are facing,” KHA President Mike Rust said during a press conference at the Lexington Convention Center, where the group was holding its annual convention. The Medicaid expansion has given many residents health coverage that has brought new money into hospitals, but “the rest of the story is the cuts.”
Hospitals are suffering a net loss, officials said, partly because about three-quarters of newly-insured Kentuckians signed up for Medicaid, which reimburses hospitals less than it costs to treat patients. Nationally, the Congressional Budget Office projected half of newly-insured patients would have private insurance. But Kentucky is a poor state, so most people who signed up for Obamacare — officially the Affordable Care Act — have qualified for expanded Medicaid, which covers those earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $33,000 for a family of four.
You just watch how the biased USA Today that wrote off Kentucky’s dilemma as being the result of being “a poor state” fails to understand how EVERY state will ultimately be a “poor state” under ObamaCare. As an example based on something called a “fact,” consider California. An article from Covered California – ObamaCare in California – touted that “495,073 people selected health plans during the open-enrollment period ending Feb. 22, 2015.” It points out the fact that “Nearly nine out of every 10 new enrollees qualified for some level of financial help for 2015,” which means that SOMEBODY ELSE is going to be forced to pay for them. But here’s the real point: versus those 495,073 people who signed up for ObamaCare by the deadline, “Meanwhile, more than 779,000 consumers enrolled in Medi-Cal from Nov. 15 through Jan. 31. Medi-Cal enrollment continues year-round.”
That means that as of March 5, Medicare accounted for 61% of the total ObamaCare coverage. And as the article points out, that enrollment continues and therefore continues to expand and grow – all year. Which means by the end of the year you can damn well bloody BET that the total of Medicare enrollees will be 3/4s of all ObamaCare enrollees. And nobody is calling California “a poor state.” Which is another way of saying that the CBO was dreadfully wrong in its horribly flawed analysis. ObamaCare is a depth charge that will sink and explode right in the bowels of our health care system and ultimately collapse it.
It’s kind of like that line from the movie Unforgiven where a hit man says of his victims, “Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.” And Will Munny points out the far grimmer truth – “We all got it coming, kid.” Under ObamaCare, we’re ALL “poor states” now. And we’ve ALL got it coming to us.
Another article points out the devastation that ObamaCare has actually been to actual health care:
More than 214,000 doctors will not participate in new plans under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
According to a survey conducted this year by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), a trade association comprised of multi-physician medical practices, “as many as 214,524 American physicians will not be participating in any ACA exchange products.” Reasons abound as to why, but, “chief among them is the fact that exchange plans are more likely to offer significantly lower reimbursement rates than private market plans, confusion among consumers about the obligations associated with high deductibles, and fear that patients will stop paying premiums and providers will be unable to recover their losses”
This is a staggering number, considering the Kaiser Family Foundation reported there are 893,851 active physicians working in the United States.
It’s actually WORSE than doctors merely withdrawing from networks and refusing to provide treatment that would bankrupt them to provide as they lose money with every patient until they are out of business. Doctors are getting out of medicine altogether as the Washington Times documented as early as 2013:
Doctors say emergency room visits have increased since the advent of Obamacare, undercutting one of the key selling points of President Obama’s health care law, which was supposed to ensure a healthier population by pushing consumers to rely on their primary physicians rather than emergency trips to the hospital.
Three out of four ER doctors said they have seen a rise in the number of patients since January 2014, when Obamacare fully kicked in, according to a survey conducted by the American College of Emergency Physicians. More than a quarter of the doctors said they have seen a major surge, and 47 percent said the rise has been slight.
The doctors said they fear a spike in visits could overwhelm their resources: Seven out of 10 said their departments aren’t prepared for a significant increase in patient volume.
The biggest cause is a lack of primary care doctors to treat the increased number of patients with health care coverage, so the patients are turning to the emergency room instead — exactly what wasn’t supposed to happen.
And these stories were personal for me, because I remember my mother worrying about how she was going to deal with her finances when she got very sick. I remember the fear Michelle and I felt when Sasha was a few months old and she got meningitis. And we raced to the hospital and they had to give her a spinal tap. And we didn’t know what was wrong and we were terrified, never felt so scared or helpless in all of my life. But we were fortunate enough to have good health insurance.
And I remember looking around that emergency room and thinking — what about the parents who aren’t that lucky? What about the parents who get hit with a bill of $20,000 or $30,000 and they’ve got no idea how to pay for it? What about those parents whose kids have a chronic illness like asthma and have to keep on going back to the emergency room because they don’t have a regular doctor, and the bills never stop coming? Who is going to stand up for them?
All told, since I signed the Affordable Care Act into law, we have seen the slowest growth in health care costs on record. (Applause.)
[…]
Right? Now, the reason we do that is, when uninsured people who can afford to get health insurance don’t, and then they get sick or they get hit by a car, and they show up at the emergency room, who do you think pays for that?
AUDIENCE: We do.
THE PRESIDENT: You do, in the form of higher premiums. Because the hospitals, they’ve got to get their money back somehow. So if they’re treating somebody who doesn’t have health insurance, they jack up premiums for everybody who does have health insurance. It’s like a hidden tax of $1,000 per family every year who has got health insurance. So we’re saying that’s not fair. If you can afford to get health insurance, don’t dump the costs on us. The law also requires employers with more than 50 employees to either provide health insurance for your workers or pay a penalty.
So let me ask you Obama’s question with this twist: when ObamaCare forces millions of patients into the emergency rooms he falsely sold his ObamaCare as preventing from happening, WHO PAYS FOR IT??? Emergency room care is THE most cost-inefficient system there IS because it is designed to be for EMERGENCIES. And when you have a surgeon who is trained to deal with traumatic amputations dealing with a kid’s runny nose, you are bankrupting the system. You are forcing hospitals to close down or get rid of needed staff to stay in business.
And the ONLY people who have fought to keep people from having no other freaking option for health care but to go to the ermgency rooms that massively add to the cost burden of providing health care were REPUBLICANS who pointed out Obama’s lies.
The Affordable Care act is having a devastating impact on already strapped rural hospitals, playing a role in many of them shutting their doors, The Washington Post reports.
Forty-eight rural hospitals have closed since 2010 and 283 are in danger, the Post quotes the National Rural Health Association as saying. Most of the shuttered hospitals are in the South.
Other factors are contributing to the problem, but Obamacare is cited as the main reason. The law reduced Medicare payments and how much hospitals are paid for uninsured patients.
The law assumed states would increase Medicaid to cover the gap, but many states did not.
Another factor caused by Obamacare: insurance plans with deductibles so high that people opt to skip some care they previously received. Fewer visits mean less revenue.
As goes ObamaCare, so goes the nation. That is because health care is one-sixth of the U.S. economy. And we are so economically weakened that you can’t collapse that one-sixth and not have the other five-sixths go into the toilet bowl with it.
Obama lied. He sold you the lie that having some piece of paper that said you have health insurance means you have health care even though his vile system has forced doctors out of the networks, forced them to leave medicine altogether, forced hospitals to close down, forced hospitals to fire key medical staff to stay open. He lied like a demon over and over and over again to sell you what he wanted to impose on you and damn the consequences of his lies. But we live in the last days before the coming of the beast, and these days are marked by deception and an outright hatred of and contempt for the truth. And so being right is actually a grave political liability these days.
Our economy is a sham. Our undemployment rate is an outright lie. Our unemployment rate is going down ONLY because of the dishonest way with which it is measured. It does NOT count people who are not working; it ONLY counts people who are actively seeking jobs and using state and federal agencies and benefits. Which is why we have the following state of affairs:
CHRIS WALLACE, FOX NEWS SUNDAY: We could continue this conversation and I’m sure we will, but let’s turn to the economy and some really disappointing numbers on the economy this week. Here they are. Only 126,000 jobs were added in March. That’s the weakest hiring in 15 months. Labor force participation dropped to 62.7 percent, matching the lowest since 1978. And the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta estimates first quarter growth at zero, zero percent, flat. George, what’s going on here?
GEORGE WILL, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Well, for the second year in a row they’ve blamed poor quarterly growth on insufficient global warming, that is on winter, on an unusually cold winter. Let your mind go back to November last year. There was job creation of 321,000 jobs and the administration said this is a miraculous achievement and a harbinger of things to come. It wasn’t a harbinger and it wasn’t miraculous. During the Reagan recovery there were 23 months of job creation over 300,000. Reagan had a month of job creation of 1 million and this was at a time when there were 75 million fewer Americans. Now, never mind zero growth. We are now being told really that two percent growth may be the new normal. If so, that’s a disaster because every day, today, yesterday, tomorrow, every day between now and 2030, 10,000 more baby boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare. If we have two percent growth, the crisis of the welfare state, the crisis of the private sector being able to throw off the revenues, to pay the bills for the promises we’ve made to ourselves becomes impossible.
WALLACE: Just tell again that the labor force participation stat that you have, if it were what it was at the beginning of the Obama administration.
WILL: If the workforce participation rate today were as high as it was on the day Barack Obama was inaugurated, the unemployment rate in this country would be 9.7percent, we wouldn’t be complaining about the bad recovery because we wouldn’t call it a recovery
But again, those are simply facts. And facts are the most useless things in modern America. Because we have become a bad, toxic, wicked people who prefer lies to the truth and who will not accept the truth.
We don’t have anywhere NEAR enough Americans working to support the massive and increasing-in-size tsunami of people who don’t have jobs and frankly don’t particularly care that much that they don’t have jobs because they’re parasites who demand and who have been trained by Democrats to demand that OTHER people support them even as they have been trained to blame and hate the very people who are supporting them.
Our economy is a shell game. We face debts that can’t even be compared to a mountain anymore, they are so massive and so high and steep and so staggering and so dangerous.
We hear our debt is $18 trillion now. Notwithstanding that Barack Obama was a truly demon-possessed hypocrite and slandering liar when he viciously attacked George Bush when it was nine trillion –
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” — Barack Obama, 3 July 2008
– our actual debt is so far beyond $18 trillion it’s not even FUNNY. Try this figure for size: $127 trillion (which is just unfunded liabilities and which doesn’t even bother to COUNT the $18 trillion):
The federal unfunded liabilities are catastrophic for future taxpayers and economic growth. At usdebtclock.org, federal unfunded liabilities are estimated at near $127 trillion, which is roughly $1.1 million per taxpayer and nearly double 2012’s total world output.
I submit that the actual figure is higher than that, northward of $222 trillion. We are a broken nation with a broken financial system covering up its nakedness with flimsy paper that will blow away on a cold day when the wind is howling and leave us with nothing but poverty and devastation and rioting such as the world has never seen.
We are a morally collapsed nation that will soon economically collapse and we will then see the true wickedness and greed and bitterness and hate come out that I see already present in this nation that was once based on “In God We Trust” as “one nation, under God” but now exists to glorify and worship homosexual sodomy and the murder by abortion of more than sixty million of our own most innocent Americans in the Holocaust-dwarfing abortion mills of the Democrat Party.
You read Romans chapter one and you tell me that the Barack Obama betrayal on marriage and the Democrat Party’s depraved homosexual SODOMY of the marriage that was instituted by GOD isn’t the trigger for God’s wrath against a sick society. If you bother to READ God’s Word, your only logical option if you want to defend the perversion of homosexuality is to stick your middle finger up at God and declare that you WELCOME His wrath on your head and on the heads of your children.
But that collapse isn’t merely going to be economic. We’re seeing that now, too.
Barack Obama has utterly failed to keep America safe from the threat of Islamic terrorism, even going to the insane extent of denying such a threat even EXISTS.
Now, as Obama’s spiritual mentor and former pastor for 23 years who infamously screamed “No, no, NO! NOT God bless America! God DAMN America!” once put it: “our chickens have come home to roost.”
We are FAR more vulnerable to jihadist terrorism than we have ever been thanks to Obama’s lies, thanks to his “JV Team” analogy that dismissed a clearly metastasizing threat to America, thanks to his “Osama bin Laden in dead and al Qaeda is on the run” lies.
I turn to yet another dismaying recent development: the shocking, catastrophic defeat that the United States is now suffering in Iraq and will almost certainly suffer soon in Afghanistan. Only a couple of years ago, our nation’s leaders were claiming credit for “decimating” al Qaeda and saying that the terrorists were on the run. Since 2010 there has been a 58% increase in the number of terror groups – and the number of jihadists have DOUBLED. Al Qaeda is larger, stronger and controls more territory than at any time in history. And an organization that is universally recognized as being even WORSE than al Qaeda – the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or ISIS – has now created the caliphate in the heart of the Middle East that Osama bin Laden dreamed of. Back in 2005, US intelligence captured a letter from the top al Qaeda leadership that put the aims of al Qaeda into four stages: 1) Drive America out of Iraq; 2) create a caliphate; 3) use that as a base to attack the United States and other countries; 4) attack Israel. And we have watched them succeed beyond all of the worst possible scenarios. They’re coming right back at us and we’re now far too weary, weak and divided to fight them.
There may be as many as thousands of people inside the United States consuming online “poison” from ISIS alone, and, “I know there are other Elton Simpsons out there,” FBI director James Comey warned today, referring to one of the men who opened fire outside of an event in Texas earlier this week celebrating artists’ portrayals of the Prophet Mohammad.
“We have a very hard task” in trying to identify and stop anyone inspired to launch an attack inside the U.S. homeland, Comey told ABC News’ Pierre Thomas and a small group of reporters.
Such efforts have become particularly challenging because ISIS has reconfigured and redefined terrorist recruitment, according to Comey. In fact, while the FBI is trying to find that so-called needle in a haystack, “increasingly the needles are invisible to us,” he said.
As recently as two years ago, someone in the United States who wanted to consume “radical poisonous propaganda” would have to seek that out on the Internet, most likely on a jihadist web forum. So the FBI focused its investigative efforts on those jihadist web forums, Comey said.
But “that has changed dramatically, especially with [ISIS] and their use of social media,” where on phones in people’s pockets they ask Americans and other foreigners “to travel to the so-called caliphate to fight” but simultaneously say, “If you can’t travel, kill where you are,” according to Comey.
“It’s almost as if there is a devil sitting on the shoulder saying, ‘Kill, kill, kill, kill’ all day long,” he said. “[They are] recruiting and tasking at the same time. … In a way, the old paradigm between ‘inspired’ and ‘directed’ breaks down here.”
And with that distinction “no longer relevant,” is it all the more challenging for the FBI to determine whether someone seeking jihadist propaganda online or even promoting themselves is “a talker or a doer,” as Comey described it.
And their talk is “fundamentally transforming” into ACTION to kill Americans wherever they are.
The official, who would speak about the continuing investigation only on condition of anonymity, said that although Mr. Simpson had long been under F.B.I. scrutiny, he had not appeared to be preparing for violence. “There are so many like him that you have to prioritize your investigations,” the official said.
The Secretary of Homeland Security’s sober warning:
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said America is dealing with a “new environment” in which a lone-wolf terrorist could “strike at any moment.”
Johnson said, “We’re very definitely in a new environment, because of ISIS’s effective use of social media, the Internet, which has the ability to reach into the homeland and possibly inspire others.”
“Because of the use of the Internet, we could have little or no notice in advance of an independent actor attempting to strike.”
He added, “We’re very definitely in a new phase in the global terrorist threat where the so-called lone wolf could strike at any moment. Which is why the FBI, in my judgment, has done an excellent job of getting to those who are attempting to travel to Syria, who commit overt facts in furtherance of material support to terrorism. It is a new environment, but we are not discouraging Americans from doing the things that they do on a daily basis in our society.”
This is a pretense and a lie. We’ve had the Internet for quite a long time now, ever since another Democrat liar named Al Gore claimed he’d invented the damn thing about 20 years ago. This isn’t because of the internet any more than our godawful economy is the result of “inadequate global warming” a.k.a. winter; this is the result of an epic fail of a president who has placed FAR more resources into climate change than he has on the actual war while he literally claimed he’d WON the war that he claimed didn’t even exist in the first place.
Top U.S. officials and lawmakers on Sunday intensified concerns about the growing threat of jihad-inspired terror attacks against the United States, after last week’s attempt in Texas and the dire FBI warning that followed.
“I think there’s been an uptick in the stream of threats out there,” Texas GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told “Fox News Sunday.” “We’re seeing these directives on almost a daily basis. It’s very concerning. Terrorism has gone viral.”
Do you know what I’ve noticed? I’ve watched snippets of the Islamic State’s recruiting videos as they’ve been presented on the news. And I’ve noticed a striking similarity to the violent video games that dominate our culture. The graininess, the colors, watching these Islamic State videos is like playing a video game. They’re beaming it into the heads of American kids who otherwise stand for nothing: you can actually LIVE your video game fantasies! Just picture yourself standing on a tank firing the machine gun, oh yes, guns a’blazing in a hail of glory. And they don’t give a flying damn if you kill for Allah or to live out your sick, twisted and violent video game fantasies. They just want blood.
And all Obama has been able to do is blame Christianity. After all, didn’t Christians do something like a thousand years ago? So why mention what Muslims did last night? Obama is a true moral coward who is only capable of pumping out moral equivocation to actually JUSTIFY jihadism for the wrongs we did to them notwithstanding the whole thousand-years-ago thing.
I have pointed out that the secular humanism of Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party ultimately stand for NOTHING. They have no transcendent moral values and no transcendent beliefs worth fighting and dying for. They will negotiate and compromise and surrender because that’s all they have and all they ever WILL have.
And we’re seeing right now that the only people liberals WILL fight are their fellow Americans as they strive to incite every possible issue into a new reason to riot, to undermine America, to tear this nation apart on the basis of race, of gender, of sexual preference, of income class, of you name it, in their search for a political coalition that they can exploit toward more political power.
We’re going to collapse because God isn’t God if we DON’T collapse. We’re going to collapse because our vote for Obama, our vote for homosexual marriage, our vote for the murder of sixty million innocent babies, was a VOTE to collapse. We’re going to collapse because America isn’t IN Bible prophecy and either won’t exist or won’t be relevant in any way, shape or form in the last days. Because unlike any other nation, we once uniquely made a covenant with God and we broke that covenant and God is going to hold us to account for our betrayal. We’re going to collapse because the beast is coming.
But mark my words: we are GOING to collapse. And it will be entirely from within because it was from within and the depravity within our own hearts that we destroyed ourselves.
Do our Muslim terrorist friends like to use drills on little boys like the movie detailed? Oh, you betcha. These demoniacs make roaches look like Mother Teresa.
Today the Islamic State – which exists entirely because of the pathological cowardice of Barack Obama – released the video of themselves burning the Jordanian pilot they captured alive.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Should, in fact, this video be authentic, it’s just one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization. And I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of a global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated. And it also just indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they’re operating off of, it’s bankrupt.
You know what I thought as I heard that? I heard the words, “it’s just.” Let me interpret for you: Obama said, “Nothing to see here, folks. We’ve seen this before. No big deal. Don’t worry, I won’t do a damn thing to respond, you know, beyond blather out a bunch of meaningless rhetoric that I’ve proven time and time again is absolutely worthless.”
How many more people do they have to savagely and viciously murder before we realize we cannot negotiate with these monsters and we have to fight for civilization or bow down to Allah under the Islamic State’s global caliphate? You know, the one that is entirely the fault of the incredibly pathetic policies of our Fool-in-Chief as they have forged their caliphate ENTIRELY under Obama’s regime?
Do Democrats have anything inside of them worthy of standing up to these atrocities? Not since Lyndon Baines Johnson took the mantle of the last decent Democrat John F. Kennedy over fifty years ago, they don’t. It’s better to be slaves than to fight back – as long as they’ve forced us to accept their socialist Government nanny state as our Lord and Savior.
Barack Obama is a liar and a coward. Period. They murder one of Jordan’s and the king vows to bring the gates of hell to Islamic State; they behead multiple Americans and Obama releases five terrorist generals for a traitor and tries to close down the entire prison facility.
Obama has repeatedly claimed that he is a hapless victim of the Iraqi government, that he desperately wanted to keep US troops in Iraq but those mean Iraqis wouldn’t let him because they refused to grant a status of forces agreement.
Bullcrap. If you have a single functioning brain cell you can know that’s bullcrap. This from February 2009:
WASHINGTON, Feb 2 2009 (IPS) – CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus, supported by Defence Secretary Robert Gates, tried to convince President Barack Obama that he had to back down from his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months at an Oval Office meeting Jan. 21.
But Obama informed Gates, Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen that he wasn’t convinced and that he wanted Gates and the military leaders to come back quickly with a detailed 16-month plan, according to two sources who have talked with participants in the meeting.
Obama’s decision to override Petraeus’s recommendation has not ended the conflict between the president and senior military officers over troop withdrawal, however. There are indications that Petraeus and his allies in the military and the Pentagon, including Gen. Ray Odierno, now the top commander in Iraq, have already begun to try to pressure Obama to change his withdrawal policy.
A network of senior military officers is also reported to be preparing to support Petraeus and Odierno by mobilising public opinion against Obama’s decision.
Petraeus was visibly unhappy when he left the Oval Office, according to one of the sources. A White House staffer present at the meeting was quoted by the source as saying, “Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama.”
Barack Obama completely and utterly abandoned Iraq to terrorists while claiming victory. He planned to completely withdraw from Iraq from the day he took office. THAT IS A FACT OF DOCUMENTED HISTORY. Anybody who claims that Barack Obama tried to keep US forces in Iraq is a stone-cold liar.
In the same vein, Barack Obama first said he had a “red line” according to which he would act if Syria’s dictator Assad used WMDs against his own people.
The Islamic State now owns both of those regions that Obama cowardly abandoned today. The Islamic State exists today because Barack Hussein Obama refused to do the right thing while a lethal cancer metastasized until it was too huge to do anything to stop without a massive commitment. And if Islamic State can thank Allah up in space for their fortuity, there is no human being on earth whom they have to thank more than Barack Hussein Obama.
Obama went on the record – back when he was pretending to have some kind of policy that he backed away from like a little boy who’d just been burned backing away from a fire – stating over and over again that Assad had to go as part of any international deal. But failing to do a single damn thing about it. And the same man who refused to in any way arm or reinforce Iraq while the terrorists we had defeated returned and began to flourish refused to in any way back the pro-democracy rebels that were trying to overthrow Assad. And as Islamic State began to rise in Syria, they literally joined Assad in killing those unarmed pro-democracy fighters.
What happened to the pro-democracy fighters in Syria and in Libya – thanks to Obama’s pathologically weak policy – is the exact same thing that happened to pro-democracy fighters in Poland during World War II. Those fighters rose up against the Nazi occupation and tried to fight them without support from the Allies. Russian forces were attacking German-occupied Poland from the east. But what did Stalin do? He intentionally hung back and waited for the Nazis to exterminate the Polish freedom fighters before he moved in and finished crushing Poland for communism and for Stalinism. It sucks to fight for freedom when nobody helps you while your powerful enemies crush you and mop you up.
Please don’t forget: Barack Hussein Obama is the Disgrace-in-Chief who famously called the Islamic State a “JV team” who could claim they were putting on Kobe Bryant’s uniform but certainly weren’t professionals. In mocking them, Barack Obama documented as a fact of history that he has no understanding and never WILL have understanding of foreign policy or the existential threats facing this nation.
If the Islamic State is “JV,” I just want to know what Obama is. Because I don’t think this chump qualifies even as “Pee-Wee.”
The fool never had a clue what he was doing when he took office and six years later he’s proven he’s incapable of learning.
You interview liberals and they tell you they just want peace and let’s just all get along. And the only problem with that philosophy is that the people liberals keep wanting to negotiate with – the way Obama negotiated with the Taliban AND YES THEY DAMN WELL ARE TERRORISTS and the nuclear-weapon-hungry mullahs in Iran and Islamic State – are that these people are pure evil and you don’t negotiate with evil. There is something called “reality,” and the liberal progressives who believe they can appease psychopaths are every bit as immune to it as the terrorists who believe they can murder their way to Paradise.
Obama continues to present a false dilemma: either we do nothing or we go to total war and commit hundreds of thousands of American troops to another eternal war. Because in Obamaland, there is nothing in-between hundreds of thousands of troops and the ZERO that his policy has been.
What’s Obama’s strategy? Well, what’s happening in the Middle East is the Super Bowl and Obama’s playbook calls for Team USA to keep punting on 1st down until he’s out of office and the holocaust he’s fanned and started burning is somebody else’s problem. That’s if he has any strategy at all.
But if anyone tries to make the laughable claim that Obama has attacked the Islamic State murderers, let me simply state a fact: during the Gulf War when we were actually fighting we averaged 1,100 sorties a day; under Obama’s “war” we’ve averaged SEVEN sorties a day. Which is to say that Obama has not only gutted the Pentagon and our military capabilities, he’s gutted any actual response to evil and “fundamentally transformed” it into a joke. Or you tell me that Winston Churchill and FDR would have sworn never to put boots on the damn ground the way Obama has promised the enemies of the United States that he won’t fight them as long as he’s president.
We lost everything we fought for in Iraq because Obama did what we said he was going to do and cut-and-ran WHEN WE HAD DEFEATED OUR ENEMY AND ONLY NEEDED TO KEEP A SMALL FORCE SUCH AS WE DID IN GERMANY AND JAPAN AFTER WORLD WAR II AND KOREA AFTER THE KOREAN WAR. And we’re about to lose everything we fought and bled for in Afghanistan as Obama stupidly and wickedly pursues the same failed strategy of claiming victory and then cutting and running.
Without American leadership the whole Middle East is going to get uglier and uglier and more and more violent and more and more vicious until it is too late for us to stop them.
It is simply another documented fact of history that terrorists and terrorists organization and terrorist attacks and terrorism has EXPLODED under Obama’s morally idiotic presidency.
Obama: “The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents – #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”
What’s our debt now? It’s over $18 trillion. Barack Obama has DOUBLED the debt; HE HAS SPENT MORE THAN EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF AMERICA COMBINED.
But what does this slandering, demon-possessed liar and hypocrite now say? He proposes a criminally-insane $4 trillion budget and ridicules “mindless austerity.” You know, after demonizing Bush for his debt and literally claiming he’s a traitor for doing what Obama has done more of than any human being who ever lived in all the history of the world.
Obama is a liar who will say anything. Anything but the truth.
THAT’S what Obama did in the war on terror. He demonically and slanderously demonized Bush for being responsible for all the horror in the world and demonically claimed that he was the man who could heal the planet. And now the planet is being burned alive by terrorists because the leader of the free world is the worst fool who ever lived.
