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
All I have been praying for is that the truth would come out and every single American would know that Hillary Clinton would be in the very darkest and lowest cell of the worst prison on the face of the earth if the Obama Administration were anything other than the most corrupt in history. And if they want to make a criminal and a traitor their president, well, to quote Obama’s reverend, “God damn America.”
I want you to stop and think how many charities and charitable organizations there are on this planet. Consider:
There are over 1.5 million of nonprofit organizations in the United States now. Public charities are almost 1 million. There are also over 100.000 private foundations and 510.000 other nonprofit organizations like civil leagues.
That’s just in the United States. There are MILLIONS of charities and charitable organizations on planet earth.
So just what the hell are the odds that of all the private individuals whom Hillary Clinton could selectively agree to meet with or not meet with, well over half of these private individuals gave to one particular charitable organization that just so happened to have her name on it???
It’s amazing how Democrats don’t believe in God, but they believe in the absolutely most stunning miracles of coincidence imaginable.
Democrats believe that Hillary Clinton never “intentionally” set up not one but SEVERAL secret private servers – I quote FBI Director James Comey who said there were “several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department.” which she was NOT EVER authorized to use [Source: Politifact]:
Was she allowed to use a private server?No. As we wrote, the IG report said that it has been department policy since 2005 — four years before Clinton took office — that “normal day-to-day operations” be conducted on government servers. The report noted that the department’s Foreign Affairs Manual was updated in November 2005 to say “it is the Department’s general policy that normal day-to-day operations be conducted on an authorized [automated information system].” …
Did Clinton seek government approval to use a private server for her personal email account?No. The IG report said Clinton “had an obligation” to discuss her email system with the department, but it could find “no evidence” that Clinton sought approval for her unusual email arrangement. If she did, the report says her request would have been denied by the bureaus of Diplomatic Security and Information Resource Management.
Hillary Clinton claimed she WAS allowed to use a private server, which is a LIE. Hillary Clinton claimed she DID have government approval, which is a LIE.She claimed:
Hillary Clinton claimed she was merely following the pattern set by other Secretaries of State, which is a LIE. The facts again:
Did other secretaries of state use personal emails for government business?
The IG report confirmed what we had previously written: Among Clinton’s predecessors, only Colin Powell (Jan. 20, 2001–Jan. 26, 2005) used a personal email account for government business. Madeleine Albright (Jan. 23, 1997–Jan. 20, 2001) did not use email at all, and Condoleezza Rice (Jan. 26, 2005–Jan. 20, 2009) did not use a personal email account to conduct government business, the IG report said. Clinton’s successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, told the inspector general’s office that he “infrequently” used a personal email account for government business “when responding to a sender who emailed him on his personal account.”
No other secretary of state maintained a private server that was used for government business.
So let’s stop being wicked, depraved Democrat cockroaches and simply acknowledge something that NO DEMOCRAT has acknowledged for fifty years called “reality”. NO ONE HAS EVER DONE WHAT HILLARY CLINTON DID. SHE WENT TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION IMAGINABLE FOR A SECRETARY OF STATE.
Do you have any idea how many documented, easily-provable LIES this wicked corrupt criminal told??? She said she set up the server to email her husband who has publicly stated that he NEVER ONCE SENT OR RECEIVED ANY EMAILS TO OR FROM HER. She said she only set this up for convenience so she would only have to use one device when in fact we have all kinds of photographic evidence that she was constantly using MULTIPLE devises. From the very tiniest things to the very largest things, Hillary Clinton lied and lied constantly about EVERY imagine aspect of her secret, private, unauthorized and illegal servers.
Third, after I left office, the State Department asked former secretaries of state for our assistance in providing copies of work- related emails from our personal accounts. I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related, which totalled roughly 55,000 printed pages, even though I knew that the State Department already had the vast majority of them. We went through a thorough process to identify all of my work- related emails and deliver them to the State Department.
No human being on earth who can actually claim to be either sane or have any knowledge of the facts whatsoever can claim that ANY part of her story is true. She lied about EVERYTHING.
There is no concealing it any more: if you are a Democrat, you are a criminal co-conspirator and in fact you are a traitor to the United States of America. This woman is THE most corrupt human being who ever lived and you want her to be president.
Why did she set up a secret private unauthorized server system that no one else had ever even come CLOSE to setting up before???
And the answer is beyond obvious to anyone who is not possessed by demons: Hillary Clinton installed a secret, private, unauthorized and illegal server in order to maintain fascist control over criminal wrongdoing as she criminally sold influence for money as Secretary of State. And she plans to do FAR WORSE to betray America if elected president.
We now know this from the Associated Press investigation which spent three years fighting tooth-and-nail to pry Hillary Clinton’s schedule from her wicked witch talons. And again, what the hell are the ODDS that more than half of these private people or parties that Hillary could choose to see or not see donated to her charity out of all the millions of charities they could have donated to???
More than half the private citizens who got face time or spoke with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state forked over bundles of cash to the Clinton Foundation, a stunning new investigation revealed Tuesday.
At least 85 of the 154 nongovernment fat cats who got access to Clinton donated to her family charity or promised to back its programs, either personally or through businesses or other groups, according to a review of State Department documents by The Associated Press.
Combined, the donors shelled out as much as $156 million, with at least 40 donating more than $100,000 each and 20 shelling out more than $1 million — more evidence that the family’s foundation doubled as a pay-for-play operation for those seeking access to Clinton, critics charge.
Donors granted time with Clinton included:
A famed economist who asked for her help as the Bangladeshi government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran.
A Wall Street big shot who sought Clinton’s help with a visa problem.
Estee Lauder executives who met with Clinton while her department worked with the firm’s corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.
Analysts said the revelations offer further proof that State under Clinton was rife with conflicts of interest because of its deep ties to the foundation.
“The real conflicts of interest and appearances of conflicts are legion. This is proof positive the foundation should be shut if Clinton is elected president,” Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political scientist, told The Post.
Donald Trump’s campaign pounced on the revelations as further evidence of the Democratic nominee’s shoddy ethics.
“The fact Hillary Clinton’s official schedule was full of meetings with Clinton Foundation donors is further evidence of the pay-to-play politics at her State Department” said Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate.
Call logs show that Slim-Fast billionaire S. Daniel Abraham, a Clinton fund-raising bundler and foundation donor, was listed in Clinton’s date books for eight meetings with her at various times.
Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economist who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering low-interest micro-credit for poor business owners, met with Clinton three times and spoke with her by phone during a period when the Bangladeshi government was investigating his oversight of a nonprofit bank.
He ultimately was pressured to resign from the bank’s board.
Throughout the process, he pleaded for help in messages routed to Clinton, who ordered aides to find ways to assist him.
And after his meetings with Clinton, she warned the Bangladeshi government in a speech that “we do not want to see any action taken that would in any way undermine or interfere in the operations of the Grameen Bank,” though the warning went unheeded.
In another case, Clinton was host at a September 2009 breakfast meeting at the New York Stock Exchange that listed Blackstone Group chairman Stephen Schwarzman — a mega foundation donor — as one of the attendees.
A day after the breakfast, according to Clinton e-mails, the State Department was working on a visa issue at Schwarzman’s request.
Blackstone donated between $250,000 and $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation, and eight Blackstone executives also gave between $375,000 and $800,000. And Blackstone’s charitable arm has pledged millions of dollars in commitments to three Clinton Global Initiative projects.
Blackstone officials did not make Schwarzman available for comment.
Clinton also met in June 2011 with Nancy Mahon of MAC AIDS, the charitable arm of MAC Cosmetics, which is owned by Estee Lauder.
The meeting occurred before an announcement about a State Department partnership to raise money to finance AIDS education and prevention.
The public-private partnership was formed to fight gender-based violence in South Africa, State said at the time.
The MAC AIDS fund donated between $5 million and $10 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Estee Lauder executive Fabrizio Freda also met with Clinton at the same Wall Street event attended by Schwarzman.
Later that month, Freda was on a list of attendees for a meeting between Clinton and a US-China trade group.
Estee Lauder has given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said the agency was not aware of any actions that were influenced by the Clinton Foundation.
The 154 individuals who met or spoke to Clinton did not include federal employees or foreign government representatives.
The AP sought Clinton’s calendar and schedules three years ago, but the department stonewalled so the wire service had to sue in federal court to get access to those materials and other records.
In another disclosure, Fox News reported that a senior executive at the foundation left almost 150 telephone messages over two years for Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s top aide at the State Department.
A review of Mills’ call logs shows at least 148 messages from Laura Graham, who was the Clinton Foundation’s chief operating officer, between 2010 and 2012.
No other individual or nonprofit appears in the logs with anything approaching that frequency or volume, according to the review of the documents, which were released to the conservative advocacy group Citizens United as part of a long-running lawsuit over a Freedom of Information Act request.
At this point in time, it is now beyond obvious that both FBI Director Comey who amazingly could find no “evidence” of “intent” in Hillary Clinton’s criminal and corrupt and frankly treasonous conduct along with Attorney General Loretta Lynch who infamously held a secret meeting with Bill Clinton as her FBI detail shielded her from her unethical and frankly illegal meeting should be arrested, prosecuted and convicted for conspiracy after the fact.
We live in the time of THE most corrupt and criminal administration in the entire history of the American republic, and this nation should go down in agonizing death if we elect Hillary Clinton to make it a thousand times MORE corrupt and criminal.
The Chinese came up with a curse: “May you live in interesting times.” The subtle idea was, if things were going well, if there was peace, times would be nice and boring. The worse things got, however, the more “interesting” they would be.
Which is why things are so damn interesting in our country and in our world now, thanks to the worst president in American history.
It’s just an amazing thing to be alive today, no two ways about it.
[M]edia bias seems an obvious and inevitable phenomenon; serious analyses of media bias date back as far as the Lincoln-Douglas days over 150 years ago. But honest and objective analyses clearly indicate that such bias has only worsened.
During President Obama’s 2008 campaign, the overwhelming majority of news media was clearly and unabashedly behind the campaign of hope and change. Time‘s Mark Halperin called it “the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq War. It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage.” Los Angeles Times writer Mark Barabak expressed similar sentiments: “I think it’s incumbent upon people in our business to make sure that we’re being fair. The daily output was the most disparate of any campaign I’ve ever covered, by far.”
Their statements were not only backed by traditional analyses of media coverage, but also by a more revealing statistic: the Democratic Party received a total donation of $1,020,816 from 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks in 2008, while the Republican Party received only $142,863 from 193 donors.
After such blatant and self-admitted media bias in 2008, we might have expected this year’s election coverage to become far more balanced. Instead, news organizations remained blatantly in the bag for the president and his Democratic allies.
The Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism recently released its report on the 2012 election, and the numbers are clearer than ever. While Governor Romney and President Obama received approximately the same amount of coverage, the type and character of coverage provided were much different. In eveningnetwork news, for example, narratives of President Obama remained approximately balanced, while the negative exceeded the positive by 17 percentage points for Governor Romney. Coverage of Romney was also twice as negative as that of President Obama (23 percent versus 11 percent).
Of course, the go-to scapegoat for liberal critics will be the conservative-leaning Fox News Channel. There is no question that Fox News exhibited a right-leaning bias in its coverage: fully 46 percent of news coverage for the president was negative. However, not only was Fox News essentially the only media organization to not have a leftward skew, the bias in its coverage also paled in comparison to that of MSNBC, where coverage of Romney was 71 percent negative (over one and half times more negative than Fox coverage of President Obama). And perhaps the most telling statistic is from the final week, when MSNBC ran no negative coverage of President Obama and no positive coverage of Governor Romney, the most absolute bias of any of the cable news channels.
Even network television (ABC, CBS, NBC) exhibited an apparent bias for President Obama. While Romney received a roughly even amount of positive and negative coverage during the day, evening coverage (when the majority of viewers tune in to network news) saw a stark change, giving a positive three percent boost to President Obama while Romney received two-to-one negative coverage.
– now demanding that the press does to the other party’s guy what they never ONCE did when he was running???
Then you consider Obama’s unrelenting WAR on a fair and balanced press that had access and the ability to provide impartial coverage, and you just start BARFING.
“My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.” So wrote President Barack Obama, back on Jan. 29, 2009, just days into his presidency. “Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.” Now, six years into the Obama administration, his promise of “a new era of open Government” seems just another grand promise, cynically broken.
As the news industry observed its annual “Sunshine Week” in mid-March, The Associated Press reported that “[m]ore often than ever, the administration censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act [FOIA].” The AP report continued, “The government’s efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office.”
How about the Associated Press? What do THEY say about Obama? The AP published the damning results of its new analysis using federal data that finds the Obama administration not just to have failed to be “the most transparent administration in history,” but to in fact be less transparent than any recent administration. Data from the last two years also shows despite the repeated complaints from journalists and news outlets, the administration “has made few meaningful improvements” to its opaque M.O
So it is absolutely astounding that this despicable, vile roach-in-chief would come out and blast the media and blast Donald Trump benefitting in any way, any shape or any form from that media.
And yet that is precisely what the most pathologically dishonest and hypocritical human being in the entire history of the human race did:
WASHINGTON — President Obama delivered a forceful critique on Monday of politicians and the journalists who cover them, lamenting the circuslike atmosphere of the presidential campaign and declaring, “A job well done is about more than just handing someone a microphone.”
Speaking at a journalism prize ceremony in honor of Robin Toner, a longtime political reporter for The New York Times who died in 2008, Mr. Obama said the 2016 campaign had become “entirely untethered to reason and facts and analysis,” a coarse spectacle that he said was tarnishing the “American brand” around the world.
“I was going to call it a carnival atmosphere,” the president said, “but that implies fun.”
“The No. 1 question I’m getting as I travel around the world or talk to world leaders right now is, ‘What is happening in America about our politics?’ ” Mr. Obama continued. “They care about America, the most powerful nation on earth, functioning effectively and its government being able to make sound decisions.”
Mr. Obama’s references to Donald J. Trump, the New York real estate developer turned Republican front-runner, were unmistakable in his criticism of “divisive and often vulgar rhetoric,” frequently aimed at women and at ethnic and racial minorities. But he also turned his fire on the news media, saying it had given an uncritical platform to those pronouncements, in part because of relentless economic pressures that have changed the way news organizations operate.
The president suggested that the news media had not done enough to question the promises made by politicians — an apparent reference not only to Mr. Trump, but also to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the independent who is challenging Hillary Clinton, Mr. Obama’s former secretary of state, for the Democratic nomination. Mr. Sanders has promised free public college education and national health care coverage, ambitious social programs that critics say could never be enacted.
“When people put their faith into someone who can’t possibly deliver his or her own promises,” Mr. Obama said, “that only breeds more cynicism.”
The president denounced what he called the practice of drawing “false equivalences” between competing claims made by politicians. “If I say the world is round and someone else says it’s flat, that’s worth reporting,” Mr. Obama said. “But you might also want to report on a bunch of scientific evidence that seems to support the notion that the world is round.”
In the latest report to undercut President Obama’s “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” promise, the Congressional Budget Office projects millions of workers will leave employer-sponsored health plans over the next decade because of ObamaCare.
Some will opt to go on Medicaid, but others will be kicked off their company plans by employers who decide not to offer coverage anymore, according to a new CBO report titled, “Federal Subsidies for Health Insurance Coverage for People Under Age 65: 2016 to 2026.”
“As a result of the ACA, between 4 million and 9 million fewer people are projected to have employment-based coverage each year from 2017 through 2026 than would have had such coverage if the ACA had never been enacted,” the report, released Thursday, said
We were told that 48 million Americans lacked affordable health insurance and something had to be done, but even five years after the passage of Obamacare, 33 million Americans are still uninsured.
If you dig deeper into the actual numbers and realize what really happened with those 9 million “newly insured”, there’s little reason to cheer.
The number of Americans with health insurance increased by 9.25 million in 2014, the first year that two key provisions of Obamacare took place: the subsidies for coverage purchased through the exchanges and Medicaid expansion. And according to recent research by The Heritage Foundation, out of that 9.25 million, “the vast majority of the increase was the result of 8.99 million individuals being added to the Medicaid rolls.”
In other words, over 97 percent of last year’s newly insured Americans were from Medicaid expansion.
Medicaid is designed to assist people who lack the capacity to work, thus making them unable to access employer-provided insurance options, and those who are too poor to afford individual private health care plans. The Obamacare program, however, has expanded those parameters to include the young, the able bodied, and those who are capable of working but choose not to, exploding Medicaid’s ranks and taxing (pun intended) an already at-risk program running straight into bankruptcy. As Kristina Ribali of Uncover Obamacare points out, each dollar spent on those Medicare isn’t designed to serve is a dollar taken away from those who Medicare was designed to help: the truly poor and needy.
Of course, a Medicare expansion isn’t anywhere near ideal – in any way – but it’s interesting that the Obamacare program can, essentially, count as it’s only success a Medicare expansion, something that could have been accomplished without passing a multiple-thousand-page Federal law that has had such a disastrous impact on the way health insurance functions in America. According to the Heritage report, even the parts of the ACA that were supposed to help those in need have failed: while Obamacare counts 4.79 million new enrollments, the same program forced 4.53 million people off their employer-provided insurance, meaning a whopping net 260,000 people were actually served by Obamacare.
Put those two things together: remember how a Republican congressman was vilified by Obama who postured like a martyr and by the most dishonest media machine since Goebbels when he shouted, “You lie!” at Obama during a State of the Union speech?
I pointed out who was telling the truth and who was lying at the time:
There is a world where Joe Wilson is smiling and every single Democrat is screaming in the agony of eternal hell fire. Fortunately that world is coming. Because everybody who cares one flying DAMN about the truth knew where this vile ObamaCare law was going. And Democrats lied about it like the future citizens of hell that they truly are.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that even Politico – which was one of those propaganda mills for Obama when he was running in 2007-2008 – broke with this fascist lying weasel and said things like this:
“The last person in the world who should be lecturing journalists on how to do journalism is President Barack Obama. Yet there Obama was last night at a journalism award ceremony, yodeling banalities about the role of a press in a free society, moaning over the dangers posed by “he said/she said” reporting, and—to the delight of the assembled audience—attacking Donald Trump in every way but name. The press-heavy crowd, convened by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications to give the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting to Alec MacGillis, clapped at Obama’s 30-minute address, encouraging his best Trump-baiting lines about “free media” and the dangers of “false equivalence.”What they should have done is bombard Obama with rotten fruit or ripped him with raspberries for his hypocrisy.How do we hate Obama’s treatment of the press? Let me count the ways. Under his administration, the U.S. government has set a new record for withholding Freedom of Information requests, according to a recent AP investigation. FOIA gives the public and press an irreplaceable view into the workings of the executive branch. Without timely release of government documents and data, vital questions can’t be answered and stories can’t be written.Obama’s “Insider Threat Program“ has turned employees across the government—from the Peace Corps to the Social Security Administration to the Department of Agriculture—into information squelching snitches. If this isn’t Trumpian behavior, I don’t know what is.“Obama hates the press,” New York Times national security reporter James Risen said not long ago, “and he hates leaks.” Associated Press Washington Bureau Chief Sally Buzbee has decried the “day-to-day intimidation of sources” by the Obama administration, judging it worse than the Bush administration on that score. And in a 2013 piece, Politico’s Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen documented Obama’s mastery of “limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House.””
“The deeper you study Obama’s relationship with the press, the more you want to ask what business he has giving out a press award. Was Trump himself busy that night?”
“Shame on the Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications for allowing Obama—a documented opponent of the press—to pontificate on journalistic practice. The only press award he has any business awarding is special commendation to Trump, thanking him for making Obama look like a free-speech radical by comparison.”
The title of the above piece is “Spare Me Your Hypocritical Journalism Lecture, Mr. President.” It is very much worth reading.
The only difference is that I knew Obama was like that eight damn years ago.
Donald Trump owes his rise to one loathsome, despicable man – and that man is Barack Hussein Obama.
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.
Obama set out to break the Republican Party. And now this demon-possessed man claims that he’s in no way responsible for the party that he broke by imposing tyrannous executive orders that split a GOP desperately trying to react to outright fascism as Obama used the media in ways described above to distort and warp public opinion. If a group of thugs breaks into a gathering by a group of decent people and starts slapping people, kicking them, punching them in the face, some people will want to fight back and others will want to call the police and still others will want to cowardly negotiate with their attackers. That’s exactly what Obama did to the GOP with his sweeping tyrannous actions. And all the while he divided America by race, divided America by income, divided America by gender, divided-divided-divided so he could conquer no matter how small the margin was.
The result was tens of millions of people – basically half the nation – who are rabidly enraged at Obama and literally ready to do what Democrats have done – first with their vile Occupy Movement and then with race riots and now with Black Lives Matter and fascist Brownshirt violent attacks against Trump rallies – and begin burning and rioting.
And so we have that until now bottlenecked rage incarnated in the rise of Donald Trump. Right out of the toxic soul of Obama.
I can even show you with numerous headlines how Obama uses the same damn TACTICS that Trump uses to mock opponents and label them:
You click on that and you see 6,220,000 results of “Obama mocks Republicans.”
Is that presidential? It sure is now, in the age of Obama (and the type Obama created, Donald Trump).
Trump is to angry, pissed off white people EXACTLY what Obama was to the people he won over by preaching hate the same damn way his vile “reverend” for 23 years preached hate.
At least the GOP establishment is trying to keep the despicable candidate from winning: versus the Democrat Party that openly celebrates the only two people on earth who are vastly more despicable.
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.
Tragically, somebody tore up the Constitution of the United States of America, urinated on it, defecated on it, and then rewrote it. So in the United States of America, “There is no federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage.” But in Obama’s God Damn America, there is.
The Constitution didn’t change; it was just contemptuously disregarded by a group of perverted people that our Pervert-in-Chief surrounded himself with.
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.
Barack Obama lied on THREE massive fronts as he deceived the American people into electing him on the basis that he was a Christian as most of them were; that he believed in the same things that most of them believed in; that no he was NOT the dangerous fascist that people like me were screaming that he truly was. Obama lied and said he was a Christian when he was and is NOT a Christian by any biblical/New Testament understanding of Christianity. This is the true nature of Obama’s “Christian salvation” in his own words:
“… working on issues of crime and education and employment and seeing that in some ways certain portions of the African American community are doing as bad if not worse, and recognizing that my fate remain tied up with their fates, that my individual salvation is not going to come about without a collective salvation for the country.
Any orthodox Christian can tell you – and quote the Bible to prove it – that individuals are saved by their individual and personal faith in Jesus Christ in a dependence upon His righteousness and His substitutionary death in our place on the Cross. My faith – regardless of the color of my skin – is not “tied up” in ANYTHING other than the Person and Work of Jesus Christ, God the Son, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, who shares in and participates in the divine essence of the eternal Father.
What does the New Testament teach about actual Christianity and actual Christian salvation? Take the trip down the famous Romans Road which plainly reveals the way to true Christianity:
Romans 3:10 — As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God.
Romans 3:23 — for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 5:8 — But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23 — For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:1 — Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:1 — Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 10:9,10 — If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
Let me just beat this to death because the Word of God is simply so crystal clear on what it means to be a “Christian” that nothing has ever been more clear:
What does Jesus say about what it means to be a true follower? Consider Matthew 16:24-25:
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If any one (individual) wishes to come after Me, he (individual) must deny himself (individual), and take up his (individual) cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his (individual) life will lose it; but whoever loses his (individual) life for My sake will find it.
Consider 2 Corinthians 5:10 for the thoughts of St. Paul:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one (individual) may be recompensed for his (individual) deeds in the body, according to what he (individual) has done, whether good or bad.
And again, St. Paul in Romans 14:12:
So then each one of us (individual) will give an account of himself (individual) to God.
Or consider Galatians 2:20:
“I (individual) have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I (individual) who live, but Christ lives in me (individual); and the life which I (individual) now live in the flesh I (individual) live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me (individual), and delivered Himself up for me (individual).”
And, again, in the words of Jesus as recorded in Revelation 3:20:
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any one (individual) hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him (individual) and will dine with him (individual), and he (individual) with Me.”
Barack Obama is most certainly not a Christian to so miserably misunderstand that we are EACH INDIVIDUALLY saved by our PERSONAL faith in Jesus Christ through what He did for us on the cross. This is not some esoteric “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” sort of question; it is a core fundamental of the Christian faith.
Barack Obama’s collectivist revisionism of Christianity has NOTHING to do with the historic faith of Christianity. Barack Obama is a PERVERT. He is a PERVERTER of truth.
Barack Obama does NOThave a Judeo-Christian worldview in any way, shape or form. There is NOTHING in true Christianity that has anything to do with Obama’s warped beliefs, or his warped ideology. Rather, he cynically masqueraded as something that he is not in order to sell himself to people who otherwise would NEVER have voted for him.
That was his first grotesque, cynical, deceitful, depraved lie. Here was his second: when he falsely said he believed marriage was between a man and a woman when he secretly lusted for marriage to be between two perverts:
Barack Obama misled Americans for his own political benefit when he claimed in the 2008 election to oppose same sex marriage for religious reasons, his former political strategist David Axelrod writes in a new book, Believer: My Forty Years in Politics.
“I’m just not very good at bullshitting,” Obama told Axelrod, after an event where he stated his opposition to same-sex marriage, according to the book.
Axelrod writes that he knew Obama was in favor of same-sex marriages during the first presidential campaign, even as Obama publicly said he only supported civil unions, not full marriages. Axelrod also admits to counseling Obama to conceal that position for political reasons. “Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black church, and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he would term a ‘sacred union,’ ” Axelrod writes.
You’ve just got to laugh even as you cry about Obama’s one and only display of false humility, when he said, “I’m just not that good at bullshitting.” Because he is actually more full of bullshit than any human being who ever lived and is the ULTIMATE expert at bullshitting as a result.
There is simply no question whatsoever that Barack Obama lied, that he is a cynical liar without shame, the very WORST kind of liar that there is: the kind of liar who lies to gain your trust, only to use the position you have him because of his deception to turn on your dearest values.
But there is a third lie that is only now revealed, that makes Barack Hussein Obama one of the very most dishonest and frankly evil human beings who ever lived. After having lied about being a Christian – (which makes us understand how easy it was for him to slip and say “My Muslim faith“) –
OBAMA: Let’s not play games. What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come–
STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.
OBAMA: — my Christian faith.
– and have to actually be CORRECTED as to his “religion” by a man we now know to have been a VERY friendly television host – And after having lied about believing marriage was as Christians have always believed it was for 2,000 years, Barack Obama refused to stand by that false profession by making it an amendment. Why? Well, in Obama’s disingenuous words, “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 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.”
On Monday, the Supreme Court ABOLISHED the right of the states to define marriage. Obama declared that a federal definition of marriage is NOT in our Constitution. Rather, “It’s been a matter of state law,” he said. The Supreme Court literally dismantled EVERYTHING that Barack Obama falsely claimed he believed along with his grounds FOR that belief. Obama declared the fact that in all previous American history, it was the STATES that defined what a marriage was. But in the Obama Supreme Court, the inJustices decreed, “Not any more; now WE get to define what marriage is – and “marriage” is now homosexual sodomy.”
So why did Obama hold a giant ceremony celebrating the Court’s destruction of everything he claimed to stand for?
Because it was all a bright, shining lie. Just like his ObamaCare lies. Absolutely everything Obama said he believed in AND why he believed it – EVERYTHING – was a cynical lie from the most depraved liar we’ve ever seen. Including his lie about not being a bullshitter.
Democrats are pure, demon-possessed liars who aren’t happy unless they have a giant, obscene LIAR as their candidate.
And when it comes to Supreme Court decisions, I can only now completely agree with what Obama said when he wasn’t getting his way: the Supreme Court means NOTHING. It’s decisions mean NOTHING. It is NOTHING but a purely partisan political body.
The Word of God told us this would happen just before God brought massive judgment upon the nation:
“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
So yes, we have Obama wickedly LYING about being a Christian in order to cynically manipulate voters, wickedly LYING about being opposed to same-sex marriage when he was actually FOR what he dishonestly claimed he was AGAINST, wickedly LYING about his claim that the states should have the right to define marriage or frankly anything else when in reality he was for the fascist dictatorship by which the all-powerful federal government alone has the right to dictate its will upon anyone or anything that disagrees with its Führer.
Obama just called the White House “my house.” It used to be the American PEOPLE’S house; but that was before Nazism befell America. And it was no slip of the tongue: Just today Obama says to a bunch of Boy Scouts, “What are you guys doing in my yard?”
It’s official: the White House is no longer my house. This nation is no longer my nation. It’s Obamanation. Or as God called it, it’s Abomination.
And so it is fitting that on the same week that the Obama White House – a place that used to be “the people’s house,” a place that used to be federal government property, proudly calls for the wrath of what used to be the God of this nation upon the nation that the house represents, but God Himself and any symbol of Him should be told to get the hell out.
In God damn America, the Ten Commandments get booted to the curb. Frankly as it should be. Because in a nation that exalts homosexuality, every vestige of God and every vestige of genuine faith in Jesus Christ must be expunged. Homosexual sodomy and Christianity go together like hell and heaven go together: the two have nothing to do with each other.
“If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments.”
Satan forbid.
Teach them sodomy instead. Make schoolchildren read, meditate upon, venerate and obey their most obscene lusts instead.
Democrats are denizens of hell and hell is their home. Everything the Democrat Party stands for comes straight out of the devil’s roach soul. And one day, soon, to their hell they shall all go together.
THAT is the REAL “collective salvation” Obama preaches: “… And my individual salvation into the lowest level of hell is not going to come about without a collective salvation of burning hell for all my voters.” And he has led them well with his lies.
Obama’s disgraced and disgraceful “reverend” for 23 years said it best as he spoke as a prophet in decreeing God’s judgment on America:
“No, no, no! NOT God bless America! God DAMN America!”
Barack Hussein Obama and every single Democrat in what used to be “this nation, under God” are to be thanked for every drought, every flood, every military weakening leading to defeat, every loss of national power and prestige, every economic calamity as they have kicked God out and caused Him to abandon us to our depraved mind to wrath. We will get weaker and weaker and weaker as our ultimate collapse comes upon us faster and faster and faster and bigger and bigger and bigger when it comes.
As we approach July 4, the American Eagle has been poisoned. It is dead. And it is no longer the wings of the eagle that spread over the nation, but the ugly, giant bat-wings of Lucifer.
On that same issue of ObamaCare that Obama lied about in speech after speech at least 37 documented times, one clause from the Affordable Care Act – which is neither “affordable” or “caring” – has reared its ugly head: the meaning of the words “established by the state.” Fully 34 states of the 50 states do NOT have their own exchanges. Only sixteen states actually qualify as having been “established by the state.” The clear meaning of those four words guts ObamaCare because ONLY state-run exchanges would qualify and it is an inconvenient truth that This section dealing with the creation of state exchanges and the provision of subsidies states, quite crystal clearly, that subsidies are only available in exchanges “established by a State,” which the law expressly defines as the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. In any ordinary court proceeding involving a law or a contract, the FIRST place a court looks is the clear meaning of the words. And in this case they are QUITE clear. to make it even more clear, in the case of many of the states, state law itself says the principle behind ObamaCare is ILLEGAL.
The ObamaCare pushers and pimps – and note that this law was entirely written BY Democrats FOR Democrats WITH Democrat approval – now argue that they did not intend the law to require that states establish their own exchanges. They say it is frankly asinine to understand the clear meaning of the words in their obvious clear meaning. A huge problem with that is one of the health care experts who claimed he was one of the principle architects of the law went on a self-aggrandizing tour in which he boasted that those four words WERE VERY INTENTIONAL to coerce the states to do the very thing that the people who want the law overturned therefore correctly claim the law required. ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber boasted about having specifically worded the law to force and coerce states to set up their own exchanges or else they would be denied federal funding. Here are Jonathan Gruber’s very words:
What’s important to remember politically about this is if you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits—but your citizens still pay the taxes that support this bill. So you’re essentially saying [to] your citizens you’re going to pay all the taxes to help all the other states in the country. I hope that that’s a blatant enough political reality that states will get their act together and realize there are billions of dollars at stake here in setting up these exchanges. But, you know, once again the politics can get ugly around this. [emphasis added]
Here is the video of him saying it:
Jonathan Gruber said a lot of amazing things about how profoundly STUPID Democrats believed the American people to be. We’re SHEEP to them. We’re FARM ANIMALS who have to be steered either to our pasture or to our slaughter by a class of experts who are like gods to us. I’ve written about some of what he’s said.
PELOSI: We’re not finished getting all of our reports back from CBO, but we’ll have a side by side to compare. But our bill brings down rates. I don’t know if you have seen Jonathan Gruber of MIT’s analysis of what the comparison is to the status quo versus what will happen in our bill for those who seek insurance within the exchange. And our bill takes down those costs, even some now, and much less preventing the upward spiral.
So again, we’re confident about what we set out to do in the bill: middle class affordability, security for our seniors, and accountability to our children.
“The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run,” Obama declared at a press conference
There’s a big fat giant problem with what Obama and Democrats are now saying: we now have 20,000 emails that prove that they are all LIARS:
Jonathan Gruber, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist whose comments about the health-care law touched off a political furor, worked more closely than previously known with the White House and top federal officials to shape the law, previously unreleased emails show.
The emails, provided by the House Oversight Committee to The Wall Street Journal, cover messages Mr. Gruber sent from January 2009 through March 2010. Committee staffers said they worked with MIT to obtain the 20,000 pages of emails.
The committee released the information in the days before the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a lawsuit that could strike down subsidies on the federal health-care insurance exchange.
The emails show frequent consultations between Mr. Gruber and top Obama administration staffers and advisers in the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services on the Affordable Care Act. They show he informed HHS about interviews with reporters and discussions with lawmakers, and he consulted with HHS about how to publicly describe his role.
The administration has sought to distance itself from the economist in the wake of his controversial statements in a 2013 video, where he said the health law passed because of the “huge political advantage” of the legislation’s lacking transparency. He also referred to the “stupidity of the American voter.”
Republicans seized on the comments as evidence that supporters of the law purposely misled the public about its costs. Mr. Gruber received nearly $400,000 from HHS for his work focusing on health-policy computer models, according to public records.
The White House has described Mr. Gruber as having a limited role in crafting the law. President Barack Obama in 2014 said Mr. Gruber was “some adviser who never worked on our staff.” Mr. Gruber told Congress last year he disagreed with the widespread characterization of his role as the “architect” of Mr. Obama’s health-care plan.
“His proximity to HHS and the White House was a whole lot tighter than they admitted,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), chairman of the House oversight committee. “There’s no doubt he was a much more integral part of this than they’ve said. He put up this facade he was an arm’s length away. It was a farce.”
Mr. Chaffetz on Sunday sent a letter to HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell requesting information justifying the department’s sole-source contract with Mr. Gruber for his work on the health law.
Mr. Gruber declined to comment.
Meaghan Smith, an HHS spokeswoman, said: “As has been previously reported, Mr. Gruber was a widely used economic modeler for administrations and state governments run by both parties—both before and after the Affordable Care Act was passed. These emails only echo old news.”
An HHS official said Mr. Gruber possessed a statistically sophisticated microsimulation model to evaluate how the change in the number of individuals with health insurance coverage would affect costs to the government and the private sector. In 2010, an independent Inspector General responding to a request from Republican Senators reviewed documentation related to Mr. Gruber’s HHS contracts and found the agency met federal requirements for both contracts, according to the HHS official.
The emails show Mr. Gruber was in touch with key advisers such as Peter Orszag, who was director of the Office of Management and Budget, an arm of the White House that oversaw federal programs.
He was also in contact with Jason Furman, an economic adviser to the president, and Ezekiel Emanuel, who was then a special adviser for health policy at OMB.
One email indicates Mr. Gruber was invited to meet with Mr. Obama. In a July 2009 email, he wrote that Mr. Orszag had “invited me to meet with the head honcho to talk about cost control.”
“Thank you for being an integral part of getting us to this historic moment,” according to Sept. 9, 2009 email to Mr. Gruber from Jeanne Lambrew, a top Obama administration health adviser who worked at HHS and the White House. In a November 2009 email, she called Mr. Gruber “our hero.”
In an August 2009 email, Lawrence Summers—then a top economic adviser in the administration—emailed Mr. Gruber and asked “if you were POTUS, what would u do now?” Mr. Gruber responded that Mr. Obama should hold out for enough money to do universal coverage.
Mr. Gruber also informed HHS about interviews he had with health policy reporters such as Ezra Klein, previously of the Washington Post and now with Vox Media. In a November 2009 email, Mr. Gruber let a top HHS official know the conversation went well and the story would post soon.
In a Jan. 8, 2010 email, Mr. Gruber reached out to Ms. Lambrew after a Politico reporter asked why he didn’t disclose his contract before writing publicly about health care. Mr. Gruber ran a description of his responsibilities by Ms. Lambrew for her review before responding.
In a November 2009 email, he apprised HHS of his conversations with former Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.) She had been opposed to the health law but came to support it.
In a Jan. 14, 2010 email, Mr. Furman emailed that “we got a deal with labor. Keep that very close hold.” Unions had been opposing the health law but rallied to support it.
He also in April 2009 supplied HHS with information outlining “winners and losers” if employers responded to the law by moving workers into the exchanges.
In a May 2009 email, he said there would be 3.6 million “losers” who were forced into individual coverage after the health care overhaul. “As you might suspect, this group is largely young and healthy,” he wrote. In an August 2009 email, he said 4.2 million people with employer-sponsored insurance would be dropped from having coverage, a development that hasn’t materialized.
In a Sept. 23, 2009, email, Mr. Gruber emailed Ms. Lambrew saying “pharma is going to be a huge winner from this bill—maybe $15 billion/year in incremental revenue. Any way to go after them harder for financing?”
THE most prominent Democrats are on the record as having lied OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN when it comes to this socialist takeover of THE most important sixth of the U.S. economy.
It’s even more clear this time. The law is a lie that was sold on the basis of a giant deception. It’s obvious. This law needs to be gutted or our Constitution needs to be gutted.
But Obama isn’t just a liar about ObamaCare. And Democrats aren’t just liars who both deceive and demand to be deceive when it comes to Obama. There is a massive spirit of deception and ungodliness when it comes to the modern Democrat Party. As we speak, we have overwhelming distrust in Hillary Clinton as someone who is neither honest nor trustworthy. Even CNN acknowledges that fact. But we just as similarly have Democrat’s overwhelming support for her. Because they don’t CARE about honesty or truth or trustworthiness.
These people are liars who are driven by lies. Pure and simple.
Democrats are people whose souls SWIM in LIES.
I’ve had three amazing opportunities to examine the massive spirit of deception that characterizes the American political left in just the last few days and wrote the following articles documenting and commenting on that spirit of deception:
In the article, I made the observation in my conclusion that I inserted into the beginning of the second article above. I’ll insert it again now to underscore my primary thesis which the ideology of progressive liberalism keeps proving to be true:
It’s really beyond amazing, now, the willingness to be deceived and to engage in self-deception the way the left is. Everything under the sun is just an atheist-driven postmodernist and existentialist-based “social construct” with them, whether it’s the humanity of a baby in the womb or the nature of male-female relations and God’s created order or transgender identity or now even something as physically obvious as race: If Rachel Dolezal thinks of herself as black, well, she’s clearly got to be black, then. If Bruce Jenner thinks he’s a chick, well, it would be intolerant to say he’s NOT a chick. No matter what the hanging down parts say to the contrary because that’s only a “fact” and these people don’t give a flaming damn about facts or truth. If I say that I’m the President of the United States, I ought to be able to kick Obama’s skinny ass out of the White House and put my feet up on the desk in the oval office, because if I think it, it’s got to be accepted as true, dontchaknow. If I can be a woman because I say I think I’m a woman or a black woman because I say I think I’m a black woman, then why the hell shouldn’t I be the damn president because I say I think I’m the damn president???
Progressive liberalism is intrinsically fascist, and fascism is the rejection of reason. Nazism was the rejection of reason and the embrace of raw, naked hate emotion: and that is precisely what we are seeing unleashed from the left as cities burn down and every single encounter with a black person by the police becomes the next reason to riot. In the same manner, conservatives are persona non grata at virtually any college or university because they will be screamed down by a gauntlet of leftwing hate or worse yet banned by the universities themselves while liberal intellectuals decry the very freedom of speech itself. And the rabid rejection of actual reality is rampant with these people: Bruce Jenner is a woman even though HE is clearly not a woman. Rachel Dolezal is black even though anybody who isn’t blind can immediately see that she is white in spite of her black-face and her hairdresser-induced Afro. Truth doesn’t matter; truth has nothing whatsoever to do with these people. Progressive liberals aren’t people who listen to the truth; they are the kind of people who chant or rant or scream slogans in the faces of people who try to explain the truth to them. Which is why the most intolerant places on earth today are the universities where leftist faculty and administrators got their foot in the door and then slammed that door shut on anyone who doesn’t think exactly like they do.
Because facts don’t matter to such people. A demonstration and documentation of rabid hypocrisy doesn’t matter. They are ONLY capable of seeing the speck in their brother’s eye and NEVER the giant log in their own eyes. And every single one of these black organizations makes it official that black leftists utterly reject the teachings of Jesus and are determined to find the speck in their brother’s eye while they ignore the giant damn logs in their own.
Liberals are pathological hypocrites in so many ways that its beyond unreal. But one of the very worst ways is their hypocrisy on free speech. After being allowed a voice on the basis of what they claimed was an innate right to free speech, the left now demands that free speech be destroyed lest any other voice have any other right to any kind of legitimacy.
I am beyond sick at the toxic, racist and race-baiting moral filth that comes out of the pathologically hypocritical leftwing and the Democrat Party who marches to their drumbeat.
As for the third article above, on Brian Williams, the fact that liberal progressive Democrat Party propaganda machine MSNBC is actually embracing a “journalist” and “news anchor” who is now a thoroughly documented liar would be astonishing – but the very soul of the left is to be steeped in lies. So when you really think about it, a Brian Williams in an MSNBC is a perfect fit made in hell.
I keep getting back to “truth.” I keep going back to what Jesus said as He stood before the ultimate big government postmodernist named Governor Pontius Pilate:
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Pilate said, “So you are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. — John 18:36-38a
And Governor Pilate turned his back on the One who had come into the world as truth’s very living embodiment.
Liberals are self-deceived deceivers who will quote and allow to be quoted the Bible ONLY when it serves their self-serving cause to erect a massive Government that usurps God as Savior and as Lord. A Barack Obama or a Hillary Clinton will twist the Bible and say that we ought to care about the poor and therefore somehow we ought to have a giant socialist and frankly fascist omnipotent human Government with the raw naked power to impose “economic justice” by stealing from one group of people to give to whatever people that this wicked Government decides to empower of out its own self-centered cynical political interests. Jesus never ONCE called upon the rise of human government to help the poor. We have the following account that demonstrates what I am saying:
Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
But Jesus said, “You feed them.”
“With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!”
“How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.” They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.”Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. — Mark 6:34-39
Jesus does NOT tell the disciples to go to King Herod or to Governor Pilate to create a welfare state program. And in fact the ONLY place in the Bible where there is any direction to create such a government program is in the religious theocracy of the Old Testament that makes every Democrat begin rabidly frothing at the mouth because they HATE God and His ways and would NEVER tolerate what God actually commanded them to do. Tell you what: you welfare system provided for in the Bible? Fine; let’s have the theocracy that it is BASED ON, too. And let’s begin by putting to death according to that Old Testament law every single Democrat who voted for abortion or for homosexual marriage, and every single judge or lawyer who rule or advocated for these, just for starters. And maybe we’ll get somewhere. Because while I’m personally FINE with the Bible, the nature of Democrats is to take the one little tiny part of it that they want out of any legitimate context and then urinate on and defecate upon the rest of it. And their hypocrisy and false piety ought to make you sick. The truth is that Democrats have spent $22 TRILLION of other people’s money in their cynical and euphemistically titled “war on poverty” and they have parasitically leached the overwhelming majority of it to their political advantage and to benefit their political benefactors. That’s three times the money that has been spent on every single war in America from the Revolution to today COMBINED. That’s nearly $70,000 for every single man, woman and child in America. While the actual poor have benefited little or not at all from it. Because the “war on poverty” is and has always been a Democrat Party exploitation machine by people who couldn’t give less of a flying DAMN about the poor in America.
And even within that system of biblical theocracy the Bible teaches that powerful human government is a bad thing:
5and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” 6But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. 8“Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. 9“Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them.”
Warning concerning a King
10So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king. 11He said, “This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots. 12“He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13“He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14“He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves and give them to his servants. 15“He will take a tenth of your seed and of your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants. 16“He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work. 17“He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants. 18“Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”
19Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, “No, but there shall be a king over us, 20that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” 21Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the LORD’S hearing. 22The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice and appoint them a king.” So Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Go every man to his city.” — 1 Samuel 8:5-22
And now we’ve got Obama to finish taking what hasn’t already been taken like the demonic locust king that he is.
But who or what did Jesus actually empower to help the poor? His disciples. And His Church that Democrats hate and rabidly despise as they have done everything they could to undermine and put down and weaken and trample upon. Because they are evil and they hate the truth.
In the same manner, we just had another mass shooting and what did the fascist Obama immediately leap to? Seizing all guns and banning weapons. Jesus talked a great deal about “peace,” but JESUS NEVER ONCE SO MUCH AS SUGGESTED SEIZING ALL WEAPONS. That spirit had NOTHING to do with the spirit of Jesus. In fact, Jesus offered this:
Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied. “But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one! For the time has come for this prophecy about me to be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the rebels.’ Yes, everything written about me by the prophets will come true.” — Luke 22:35-37
Jesus did NOT stand for enabling the wicked government to come and confiscate our weapons. He in fact did the exact opposite! Do you want to know whose spirit Obama is following in his desire to take away our weapons and leave us unable to defend ourselves? It is the rabid fascist socialist spirit of Führer Adolf Hitler. It is the rabid communist socialist dictator rule of Joseph Stalin. THEY seized all the guns so no one could rise against their wickedness and fight back. Our founding fathers believed exactly OPPOSITE to Hitler and Stalin and Obama. They saw the 2nd Amendment as a bulwark against tyranny; where only the State had access to weapons and so the people were helpless before the rise of any tyrant state. The founding fathers wanted to protect us from tyrants like Obama, who seek to impose a giant government upon us against our will, so that they would NEVER leave the people without the means to defend themselves, their families and their property from such a government. And I believe that given what Obama has done to “fundamentally transform the United States of America,” that we see the wisdom of the founding fathers from that very 2nd Amendment as we have never seen it before.
Jesus was righteous and wise the same way that Obama is wicked and a fool. Jesus knew that criminalizing all the weapons would only ensure that criminals – and a criminal human Government – had all the weapons. And that the nature of the world apart from Him is violence. Jesus understood that the founding father’s vision of a nation whose government feared its people was far wiser and far more moral than the one Obama envisions in which the people must live in fear of their government.
Democrats demonize Republicans all the damn time for the gun violence. But they should do all their most rabid screaming and finger-pointing standing in front of a mirror. Because when Barack Obama’s stench filled the White House and while Nancy Pelosi’s stench filled the House of Representatives and Harry Reid’s stench filled the Senate and Democrats ran the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT, they did NOTHING. Because to be a Democrat today means being the worst hypocrite on planet earth, bar none.
Democrats are a rabidly religious people, just like their very-shortly-coming future god, the Antichrist, whom the Bible describes as “honor[ing] a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors” (Daniel 11:38). And that has DEMOCRAT written all over it. These are people who worship the STATE that will build those fortresses. And Democrats who want to seize your guns and abolish your God-given constitutional right to defend yourselves and your property from evil want to impose their god on you. I say that because as Christians we want to be radically dependent upon our God, the God of the Bible. And Democrats want the same thing; they want to be radically dependent upon THEIR god, the State. But they are FASCISTS in their worship such that they want us ALL to be radically helpless such that all we have to pray to is their god the all-powerful State. You cannot have the right that the God of the Bible gave you to protect yourself; NO!!! You must bow down to THEIR god. And everyone who has a weapon to defend themselves, their families and their property with is a blasphemer to Democrats; because they are declaring that they do not WANT to be radically dependent on the State for their salvation.
Obama lusts for more abortions on top of the sixty million his party already is coated in the blood of. The same Democrats who weep and wail over Vietnam have murdered more than a thousand innocent babies for every single American serviceman who was killed in that war. And they are just getting started in their hatred of the human spirit. But read the words of Psalm 139 and see for yourself the innate vile wickedness of the party of hate that the Democrat Party has become:
Psalm 139:13-18 New Living Translation (NLT)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
17 How precious are Your thoughts about me,[a] O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, You are still with me!
Luke 1:39-41 records the following event:
A few days later Mary hurried to the hill country of Judea, to the town where Zechariah lived. She entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. At the sound of Mary’s greeting, Elizabeth’s child leaped within her, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
The monstrous Democrat Party’s “final solution” to this truth of the divine dignity of human life in the womb is the same as King Herod’s: to murder babies. Mary was a young teenage girl when she became pregnant with the baby Jesus. And Elizabeth’s baby John was leaping for joy in his mother’s womb. And Democrats believe it would have been a GOOD THING for both women to murder the Savior of the human race and the herald God sent to announce Him because they come from the Party of Lucifer.
In the same way Democrats worship the perversion of marriage and the homosexuality that perverts the very foundation of God’s creative order. And that is why as the Party of Lucifer it was their demonic-inspired will to bring the full wrath of God against the United States of America that once took pride in being “One Nation under God” before we depraved it to the “gay pride” of homosexual sodomy. Find this truth in Romans chapter one:
Unbelief and Its Consequences
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. — Romans 1:18-31
And that everything Obama has done in his socialism and his fascism and his totalitarianism and his love of abortion and his worship of homosexuality has driven the world further and further and further from the Prince of Peace.
Everything the left stands for is irredeemably wicked and evil. EVERYTHING. And they cynically pervert and warp even good and legitimate causes to their wicked agenda.
And that is why Democrats – which stands for “DEMOnic bureauCRATS” – want a proven liar to anchor their “news” station. Because you can always count on a liar to lie and Democrats wouldn’t have it any other way.
A front page article from USA Today captures the crisis of the once-great-because-it -was-once-godly United States of America:
If the U.S. population is becoming less and less Christian, why does the Republican presidential campaign sometimes feel like a revival meeting?
Last month, Jeb Bush became the latest GOP hopeful to make the pilgrimage to Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical Christian school, where Texas Sen. Ted Cruz announced his candidacy in March.
And this week, a baker’s dozen of declared and potential Republican presidential candidates address the Faith & Freedom Coalition, which is trying to mobilize the conservative evangelical vote.
Timothy Head, the coalition director, says he didn’t even have to invite candidates to the Road to Majority Conference in Washington: “People contacted us — ‘Can I come?”’
Yet just last month the Pew Research Center released a survey showing that the percentage of Americans who call themselves Christian has been going down a point a year, to 70.6% in 2014.
Meanwhile, those who report no religious affiliation — “nones” — are increasing their share of the body politic.
And Americans’ confidence in organized religion, which has fallen dramatically over the past four decades, hit an all-time low this year of 42%, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday. Only about half of Protestants or Roman Catholics say they have a great deal of confidence in the church and organized religion.
It’s a remarkable development in what President Harry Truman and many others (including some non-believers) have described as “a Christian nation.” […]
The article continues, but you get the idea: the more this nation turns its collectivist back on Jesus Christ and pisses on Him as Democrats demanded be taxpayer funded in the form of “Piss Christ”, the more Democrat (the modern term for “demon-possessed”) this nation becomes. Because the Democrat Party represents the spirit of perversion and the perversion of once godly America.
It was a Democrat President (among others) who called America “a Christian nation.” But this awful party is no longer that party. Now it is the party in which an Obama boasts that it is a “Muslim nation.”
The United States of America is going to go down harder and more agonizingly than any nation in the history of the world. We look at the wickedness of other countries such as Russia and China and the Islamic republics that are sending so much hate and violence out. But these nations are described in the Bible as being present in the last days while America is NOT. And the reason is now clear: because we were a nation that once uniquely and powerfully turned to the LORD, the God of the Bible, and now we have spat in His eye.
And our descent into hell is going to be awful as God “gives us over” to our depraved mind and its full consequences (Romans 1:24).
If I might come back to end where I began, with the Supreme Court and ObamaCare, I have little confidence in the Supreme Court – its integrity or its not being a political body – because we live in the last days. In Habakkuk 1:4, the prophet railed:
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.
And given our gay marriage rulings, “perverted” is a VERY good word to describe what “justice” has become today.
In verse five of Habakkuk chapter one, God said watch, wonder, marvel! For He would bring about judgment to judge a nation that perversely saw itself as being good rather than evil. And He foretold to Habakkuk that He would act by bringing the vicious Babylonians. Just as today the same God of all Creation is bringing the SAME sort of people from the SAME part of the world who are doing the SAME things all over again as the days of the Old Testament come back to lethal life as we return to the days of judgment.
The usually leftist Daily Beast has a title that at least ASKS the right question:
Why Is Brian Williams Good Enough for MSNBC, but Not NBC? The suspended ‘Nightly News’ anchor is reportedly staying at 30 Rock—but going to work for NBC News’s ratings-challenged corporate sibling. How the move raises even more awkward questions.
Lloyd Grove 06.18.151:38 AM ET
For whatever reason, Lloyd Grove never actually bothers to answer his own question. He merely reports the awkward factoid that:
Multiple spokespeople at NBC News and MSNBC were contacted by The Daily Beast on Wednesday night but either didn’t respond or declined to comment. Williams’s agent/attorney, Washington lawyer Robert Barnett—who according to CNN’s Brian Stelter had been spotted in meetings with NBC execs in recent days—didn’t reply to an email seeking comment.
Grove at least provides a partial listing of the sins against all credibility that Williams inflicted on his own reputation:
The leaks, which at times seemed orchestrated from within the NBC executive suite at 30 Rockefeller Center, concerned his on- and off-air exaggerations of a helicopter ride during the Iraq War and his anecdotes about witnessing a suicide, seeing a floating body during Hurricane Katrina, and looking Egyptian thugs straight in the eye as they whipped protesters in Egypt’s Tahrir Square during the Arab Spring, among other tall tales reportedly uncovered by an internal NBC News investigation.
Williams initially offered an on-air apology February 4 after being caught in an exaggeration by the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes, when he claimed erroneously on his newscast that during a visit to Iraq in 2003, he was a passenger in a helicopter that was hit and forced to the ground by a rocket-propelled grenade. It turned out that Williams—who told the same war story on CBS’s Late Show With David Letterman as well as on actor Alec Baldwin’s interview program on WNYC radio—was riding in a helicopter that took no fire and was some distance away from the action, according to multiple Iraq War veterans who were on the scene and spoke to Stars and Stripes.
So, given the fact that we at least have a darn good question but nothing close to an answer, would you like to hear the answer I literally gave back-to-back two days in a row just over the last three days? On June 16 I wrote and on June 17 I quoted myself as having written the following – with the caveat that on both occasions recent events gave me ample evidence to state it as a FACT – that gets you to the heart of why THE network established to be THE Democrat Party mouthpiece would hire a documented liar as a “reporter”:
It’s really beyond amazing, now, the willingness to be deceived and to engage in self-deception the way the left is. Everything under the sun is just an atheist-driven postmodernist and existentialist-based “social construct” with them, whether it’s the humanity of a baby in the womb or the nature of male-female relations and God’s created order or transgender identity or now even something as physically obvious as race: If Rachel Dolezal thinks of herself as black, well, she’s clearly got to be black, then. If Bruce Jenner thinks he’s a chick, well, it would be intolerant to say he’s NOT a chick. No matter what the hanging down parts say to the contrary because that’s only a “fact” and these people don’t give a flaming damn about facts or truth. If I say that I’m the President of the United States, I ought to be able to kick Obama’s skinny ass out of the White House and put my feet up on the desk in the oval office, because if I think it, it’s got to be accepted as true, dontchaknow. If I can be a woman because I say I think I’m a woman or a black woman because I say I think I’m a black woman, then why the hell shouldn’t I be the damn president because I say I think I’m the damn president???
Progressive liberalism is intrinsically fascist, and fascism is the rejection of reason. Nazism was the rejection of reason and the embrace of raw, naked hate emotion: and that is precisely what we are seeing unleashed from the left as cities burn down and every single encounter with a black person by the police becomes the next reason to riot.

And the rabid rejection of actual reality is rampant with these people: Bruce Jenner is a woman even though HE is clearly not a woman. Rachel Dolezal is black even though anybody who isn’t blind can immediately see that she is white in spite of her black-face and her hairdresser-induced Afro. Truth doesn’t matter; truth has nothing whatsoever to do with these people. Progressive liberals aren’t people who listen to the truth; they are the kind of people who chant or rant or scream slogans in the faces of people who try to explain the truth to them. Which is why the most intolerant places on earth today are the universities where leftist faculty and administrators got their foot in the door and then slammed that door shut on anyone who doesn’t think exactly like they do.
Because facts don’t matter to such people. A demonstration and documentation of rabid hypocrisy doesn’t matter. They are ONLY capable of seeing the speck in their brother’s eye and NEVER the giant log in their own eyes.

I am beyond sick at the toxic, racist and race-baiting moral filth that comes out of the pathologically hypocritical leftwing and the Democrat Party who marches to their drumbeat.
Every single day I’ve got new evidence to factually demonstrate that the heart of the Democrat Party and of liberalism is a hatred of God and a rejection of the truth and a willingness and desire to believe lies from the father of lies.
Allow me to summarize my point yet again: there is something about the perverted worldview of liberalism that not only opens them up to being deceived but literally makes them hunger for being lied to and deceived the way a baby hungers for his mommy’s milk. Liberals and Democrats will hungrily devour lies and reject anything that smells like truth or reality or actual facts. They are pathologically immune from truth.
And so it is actually quite simple to understand why a dishonest and depraved network perpetuating a dishonest and depraved worldview would rush to gobble up a dishonest fabricator like Brian Williams much the way that the goldfish in a restaurant pond would rush to gobble up a bratty child’s gob of spit. They literally cannot help themselves.
Pardon my confusion here, but I need someone to please explain to me how Obama knows everything – and I mean absolutely everything – that is going on inside Iran’s incredibly secretive nuclear program, but he had no clue that Iraq and Iran were about to launch an attack against the Islamic State on Tikrit???
The biggest offensive against ISIS so far happened without American help—but with plenty of assistance from Iran.
The Iraqi military launched a major campaign to take back a key city from the self-proclaimed Islamic State over the weekend—a move that caught the U.S. “by surprise,” in the words of one American government official.
The U.S.-led coalition forces that have conducted seven months of airstrikes on Iraq’s behalf did not participate in the attack, defense officials told The Daily Beast, and the American military has no plans to chip in.
Why does Obama ignore crystal clear warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency such as this one –
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has “further corroborated” information indicating that Iran “has carried out activities that are relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device,” the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog says in its most recent report on Iran.
– and inherently trust Iran and his own ability to verify with certainty what a demonstrated dishonest and duplicitous regime is up to, while inherently distrusting key historic US ally Israel???
I mean, would any of you Democrat Obama worshipers explain this to me, please? Because I believe I’m on pretty damn solid ground to point out the FACT that Obama is a freaking demon-possessed LIAR to argue that we can verify ANY-DAMN-THING Iran is doing when we can’t even know what they’re doing in a country where we’ve got all kinds of people in.
Arab nations know how horrible it will be, too. Which is why everyone who isn’t a terrorist or a sponsor of terrorism is opposed to Obama’s deal. We can pretty much guarantee a nuclear arms race in the craziest part of the world, thanks to Obama.
For 2,000 years, Jews were stateless, voiceless, defenseless and therefore passive to the threats to annihilate them.
Obama looks back to those good old days when Jews silently went to their graves without being able to defend themselves or speak out.
“Are Americans afraid of getting casualties on the ground in Iraq?” asked Rouhani, referring to the Obama administration’s crystal clear pledge that it will not send American combat troops to fight ISIS. “Are they afraid of their soldiers being killed in the fight they claim is against terrorism?”
“If they want to use planes and if they want to use unmanned planes so that nobody is injured from the Americans, is it really possible to fight terrorism without any hardship, without any sacrifice?” he continued. “Is it possible to reach a big goal without that? In all regional and international issues, the victorious one is the one who is ready to do sacrifice.”
…
“When we say the red line we mean the red line,” said Rouhani…
– a sweetheart deal that will guarantee that Iran ultimately gets nuclear weapons and the ballistic missile technology to deliver them. Obama will allow Iran – a country floating on oil that doesn’t need nuclear energy aside from the fact that it’s leaders have called Israel a “one bomb country” – to continue to enrich uranium; continue to build centrifuges; operate previously banned nuclear reactors – which will probably include the one that was secretly built and only now being revealed; and yeah, build ballistic missiles which are frankly useless unless they have nuclear warheads to put on them.
Oh, any any actual limits on Iran’s nuclear weapons plans have time limits to give Obama time to get out of office before his betrayal of America and Israel is obvious.
A review of every official exchange President Barack Obama has had with the press in 2014 in addition to interviews with more than a dozen reporters “reveals a White House determined to conceal its workings from the press, and by extension, the public,” the report reads.
What do you say about a president who looked every single American citizen in the eye over and over again and repeatedly told them lies such as “If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold.”
Barack Hussein Obama pompously and self-righteously delivered this lie a minimum of 37 times. He is THE most documented liar of any human being who ever lived on planet earth, bar none.
Obama is the liar who over and over again stated that he did not have the power or the right to impose amnesty for illegal aliens before saying he never said what he said and then doing what he clearly is an “emperor” and
“Believe me — the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. (Laughter.) I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. (Laughter.) But that’s not how — that’s not how our system works.”
“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency.” The problem is that, you know, 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, and Congress right now has not changed what I consider to be a broken immigration system.”
In September 2013, Obama was asked by Telemundo if he would consider freezing deportations of the parents of students benefiting from the administration’s 2012 action. Obama replied that if he broadened his protective orders, “then essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally. So that’s not an option.”
So, yeah, by Obama’s own words delivered to his supporters, Obama IS in fact a lawless emperor thug who ignores the law, abolishes democracy and perverts the American system.
The next question is, “Did Obama change the law which the Constitution specifically states no president has the authority to do?”
Again, Obama’s own words to one of his supporters whose only problem with Obama is that Obama isn’t even MORE of a treasonous fascist tells us the truth:
Now, you’re absolutely right that there have been significant numbers of deportations. That’s true. But what you’re not paying attention to is the fact that I just took action to change the law. (Applause.) So that’s point, number one.”
So it shouldn’t surprise you that Obama has said frankly warped things about peace and national security such as these gems as 200,000 human beings are murdered in Syria (after Obama’s pathetic and despicable “red line”), as Islamic State takes over Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and counting,
[T]he truth of the matter is that for all the challenges we face, all the problems that we have, if you had to be — if you had to choose any moment to be born in human history, not knowing what your position was going to be, who you were going to be, you’d choose this time. The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it’s ever been. It is more educated than it’s ever been.”
Obama: “Yes, but, David, I think the analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a JV team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant. I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”Remnick: “But that JV team just took over Fallujah.”
This is the most pathologically dishonest president with the most pathologically dishonest administration that ever existed.
But Barack Hussein Obama is a pathologically dishonest LIAR without shame, without honesty, without decency, without virtue and without integrity of any kind aside from the integrity of the devil to be wicked.
And please don’t think for one nanosecond that this is a president or an administration who gives a flying damn about you or your family; rather, this is a reckless demagogue who is so vile that he refuses to prepare any contingency plan whatsoever if his ObamaCare is struck down by the Supreme Court as any responsible leader would do. Rather, he’s holding the fact that he’ll ruin the country’s healthcare system like a terrorist over the Supreme Court’s head and basically letting Republicans know that he will intentionally inflict as much suffering on the American people while trying to blame them for the “fundamental transformation of the United States” that not one of them voted for if he doesn’t get his damn way. He’ll happily destroy your health care system and blame it on somebody else. Just as he showed that display of contempt for the American people when he imposed his above – again by his own words – “emperor’s unconstitutional and undemocratic power grab that violates the American system” – immigration amnesty this past week. Or when he intentionally caused as much damage as he possibly could while demagoguing the future effects of the last time the Republicans tried to show some backbone and stop this “emperor” from his endless fascist tyranny. And he pulled the same fascist scaremongering tactics this time around, too.
I mean, why on earth wouldn’t Jews trust our current Führer when he says he won’t allow Iran to have nuclear weapons – YET.
So Obama is spurning the leader of the state of Israel and at least FIFTY Democrats are joining him in his fatwa against the Little Satan. Because our pissy little malignant narcissist-in-chief thinks that everyone should come crawling to him for permission to do anything and that no one should have permission to oppose his plans to abandon Israel and the world to a nuclear Iran.
Democrats and their punk president are acting like junior high school students trying to bully an unpopular kid (the state of Israel). Netanyahu wants the American people to understand the actual facts of the matter in this incredibly wicked deal; Obama and the Democrat Party want him to shut the hell up and go to the Auschwitz deal they’re preparing for him and his people with a country that has repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map.
The Bible predicted Obama nearly 3,000 years ago. It predicted that a horrible, evil man would one day say peace, peace when there WASN’T any peace. Jeremiah 6:14 was written just for Obama and his administration:
They offer superficial treatments for my people’s mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when there is no peace.
There was a time when Democrats bitterly complained that under Bush, we had a two front war. That was ultimately false because Bush WON in Iraq. But now, under Obama’s disgraceful and corrupt and wicked administration, we face a TWENTY FRONT war with a terrorist enemy that is bolder, larger, better equipped, better funded, better trained and more active than it EVER was under Bush.
And now – based on lies as everything this liar has ever did has been – Obama has a deal with Iran that is defeat on steroids.
Barack Hussein Obama hates Israel. The Democrat Party is now proving that it too hates Israel.
I believe that we are in the last days. I believe that when Obama’s reverend for 22 years screamed, “No, no, no! NOT God bless America! God DAMN America!” that he spoke as a prophet. And this has become a nation under God’s curse because of an incredibly wicked man’s incredibly wicked policy against God’s people Israel.
He said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” — Isaiah 6:9-10
I spotted a liberal op-ed that basically tells us that the tragedy otherwise known as progressive liberalism is as old as the 18th century and quite likely as old as time.
The article is about the “intellectuals'” disappointment with and in Barack Obama. It begins:
When Barack Obama ran for president in 2008, intellectuals everywhere hailed him as one of their own. So closely was he identified with this elite that many Democrats worried, and Republicans hoped, that voters would reject him: As Richard Hofstadter noted long ago, a strong current of anti-intellectualism has long coursed through American history.
But his pointy head in no way proved an insurmountable obstacle in 2008. Maybe because it wasn’t all that inclined toward pointiness to begin with.
Since he was first elected, Obama has distanced himself from progressive intellectuals. You can expect to hear a few of them sadly critiquing his penultimate State of the Union speech this week.
Translation: We’re completely responsible for campaigning for this pathetic turd and getting him elected and getting his policies passed. But you can’t blame us. Because if he’d just been even more “liberal” than this leftist turd turned out to be, everything would have worked out wonderful.
I won’t bore you with the whole boring piece (you can read it yourself if you’d like by clicking the link); but here is the portion that caught my eye:
In early 1765, Diderot was desperate. Thanks to his herculean efforts as editor of the Encyclopédie, the 17th and final volume of this monument to the Enlightenment was then rolling off the press. Yet the celebrated thinker was in serious financial straits. When Catherine learned of the situation, she made Diderot an offer he couldn’t refuse. She would purchase his personal library of 3,000 books and manuscripts for the then-vast sum of 50,000 livres. Not only would Diderot be allowed to keep his books until his death, but he would also be paid a yearly salary as the collection’s librarian.
The magnanimity of Catherine’s deal struck the imagination of intellectuals across Europe, who believed that true and lasting social reform could be made only from above. Since the great mass of people was mired in superstition and ignorance, enlightened decrees, not popular democracy, was called for. With Voltaire in the lead, the great minds of the age invested their hopes in well-intentioned kings and queens and saw themselves as qualified investment advisors.
Few intellectual ventures seemed as promising as Russia. Catherine had ascended to the throne in 1762 — in a coup d’etat and over the body of her husband, Peter III — determined to haul her vast country from its primitive conditions via Enlightenment ideals. She wrote the Nakaz, or Instruction, translating Montesquieu’s case for a rational and humane legal system into Russian. Her early enthusiasm for such progressive ideas, though sincere, would prove unequal to the challenges presented by her empire.
Okay, so let’s see: the “intellectuals” had an a priori rejection of God, the Bible and anything whatsoever to do with the supernatural. Anybody who believed otherwise didn’t get to join the “intellectual club.” They might claim otherwise, but they LOVE their dictators and tyrants because they keep rubbing their own faces into the fecal matter of totalitarianism, which is why they always HAVE loved Russia and totalitarianism and communism and socialism and every form of government control. In their utter rejection of God, SOMETHING has to take God’s place – and so they worship government with a big ‘G’ and worship the power of the human State and its ability to control and dictate and bypass the democracy the despise and always have despised. Oh, they’ll cynically use “democracy” long enough to garner the power to bypass the will of the people so they can impose their agenda with the raw force of totalitarianism and sweeping executive orders.
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
– He wasn’t saying anything that hadn’t been said by his sort many times before. The stupid unwashed masses. One of the great books about wisdom in the Bible states that there is nothing new under the sun and that what has been will be again and what was done will be done again. And so we have the same moral idiocy we’ve had before because we keep turning to the same sort of fools and the same sort of fool ideas that have failed us before when they weren’t killing us by the millions before.
I mean, listen to liberalism in the words of the LA Times piece that describes the same sort of thinking we see today only near three hundred damn years ago: “the great mass of people was mired in superstition and ignorance”…. “true and lasting social reform could be made only from above”… “enlightened decrees, not popular democracy, was called for.” And so with the famous atheist Voltaire in the lead, the left charged into Stalinism and has been full-throttle Stalinist ever since.
Before I keep going with this, let me begin with another quote about the nature of intellectuals:
“George Orwell said that some ideas are so foolish that only an intellectual could believe them, for no ordinary man could be such a fool. The record of twentieth century intellectuals was especially appalling in this regard. Scarcely a mass-murdering dictator of the twentieth century was without his intellectual supporters, not simply in his own country, but also in foreign democracies, where people were free to say whatever they wished. Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler all had their admirers, defenders, and apologists among the intelligentsia in Western democratic nations, despite the fact that these dictators ended up killing people of their own country on a scale unprecedented even by despotic regimes that preceded them” – Thomas Sowell, Intellectuals and Society, p. 2.
That’s right, folks. The “intellectuals” from the left have ALWAYS loved Russia and Russia has ALWAYS been near and dear to their hearts. They loved Hitler and his Nazi fascism, too. They choose the most wicked side in every argument.
“Intellectual” is another word for “fool.” This is a fact that is stated in the Bible:
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools… Romans 1:22
And we’re warned about these fools and their fool ideas:
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. — Colossians 2:8
“There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.”
It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy brings about man’s mind to religion: for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity. — Sir Francis Bacon
“They that deny a God destroy man’s nobility; for certainly man is of kin to the beasts in his body; and, if he be not of kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature.” — Sir Francis Bacon
Sir Isaac Newton has widely been called the greatest scientist who ever lived. Albert Einstein credited Newton with his own work and claimed he’d stood on the backs of giants. He wrote more about Christian theology than he did about science.
And Blaise Pascal – and please think about this while you’re playing games on your smart phone – wrote:
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus. — Blaise Pascal
Pascal was pointing out something Bacon clearly understood that the left has tried to pervert ever since. It comes from Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God set eternity in the human heart. It comes from Genesis 1:27 that humans were created in God’s image as His image bearers. And the next verse describes God as having given man sovereignty over the world He created for humankind. Which is why great scientist Johannes Kepler described science as “thinking God’s thoughts after Him.”
G.K. Chesterton put it even better in terms of my point when he wrote:
“For when we cease to worship God, we do not worship nothing, we worship anything.”
In rejecting God as their source for a worldview and for ideas, they believe in utter foolishness. It may be high-sounding foolishness, but it is all the more foolish to be expressed in lofty words. The left fills their minds with foolishness. And that is why their ideas don’t work.
Leftist intellectuals are pure fools whose ideas have no contact with reality. They have absolutely no understanding whatsoever how power works or how government truly functions or how to achieve peace or how to do anything that is truly meaningful or significant. All they can do is mock and then mimic and then point fingers for their failures to try to blame others for their failures.
And a leftist like Obama has two choices: he can either reject the foolish and failed liberalism and try a different approach, which the leftist intellectuals claim he is at least partly doing. Or he can keep trying to apply liberalism and keep failing, as he is very clearly also doing.
Obama is a joke. And it would have been a funny joke if he had afflicted another country that wasn’t urgently needed in this time as the leader of the free world. But here he is, plaguing this formerly great nation. And so the joke is on America and it is on the whole human race.
Barack Obama has failed America and he has failed the world. No one on earth is more responsible for the vicious wave or resurgent Islamic terrorism than Barack Hussein Obama who STILL insanely continues to reject the notion that he is in a war or that the war is against Islamic terrorism. No one did more to underestimate the threat of terror and falsely and stupidly claim he had defeated it than Obama, no one did more to gut the resources needed to defeat Islamic terrorism while that threat metastasized into a deadly cancer all around him while he selfishly focused on his own personal politics.
Obama has spent more money on government than any human being in all of human history. And he is about to have spent more than every American president in all of human history combined from George Washington to George W. Bush. And his policies have failed unless it was his goal to weaken America abroad and to weaken every American except the very wealthiest. As even the LEFT that backed Obama is now pointing out.
And Barack Obama – without any question unless you ask the fool “intellectuals” – has done more to destroy democracy and more to destroy the American Constitution than any president who ever lived. Because he is now the same totalitarian that the left has ALWAYS ended up worshiping whether some of them came to rue the object of their worship or not.
Pretty soon, because of Obama’s spectacular failure, the world will accept the coming Antichrist and worship him as their savior and take his mark of big-socialist-government domination on their right hands or on their foreheads. And Barack Hussein Obama will have been the Antichrist’s Most Useful Idiot.
And don’t think for one second that the same intellectuals who couldn’t wait to support Stalin before they couldn’t wait to support Hitler before they couldn’t wait to support murderous communist dictator Chairman Mao before they couldn’t wait to support Obama won’t rush to support the Antichrist, too.
It was Obama’s “reverend” who spoke as a prophet when he screamed, “No, no, no! NOT God bless America! God DAMN America!”
It was Obama who summed up the implications of his Führership when he shocked Republicans with his refusal to work with them in any way, shape or form when he had lockstep control of all three political branches of government: “Elections have consequences.”
And they sure have [For the official record, I TOLD you so the night the demons cheered while the angels wept and Obama was elected in 2008].
If you believe the media propaganda that Obama has tried to work with the Republicans but no matter how rational and reasonable Obama was, racist Republicans just wouldn’t allow him to succeed in any way, shape or form – just look at the man’s BUDGETS to see how false that bullcrap spin is. Just see here and here for Obama’s true pattern: the man is so damn fascist radical that he couldn’t get a SINGLE vote from his own party. And when he did get a vote, he got something like TWO votes from his own damned party. If you think that’s “compromise,” you belong in an insane asylum for the criminally depraved and stupid.
The man has been nothing but a pure liar without honor, without virtue, without integrity, without decency of any kind. And that was what he was from the very start. No human being who has EVER LIVEDhas been caught in as many bald lies as this fascist who now contaminates our White House: as an example just one of his numerous lies – which merited him the title “Liar of the Year” – he repeated over and over and over again as his means of deceiving America into re-electing him again. Every president has arguably lied, but Obama wallows in lies the way a particularly disgusting pig wallows in his own filth.
“Elections have consequences.” And one of those consequences has been unprecedented welfare as Obama has gutted the American economic engine with every monkey wrench known to liberal engineering.
Another consequence of Obama’s elections has been a poverty level that has never been seen in America for MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS:
Fifty years after President Johnson started a $20 trillion taxpayer-funded war on poverty, the overall percentage of impoverished people in the U.S. has declined only slightly and the poor have lost ground under President Obama. […]
Although the president often rails against income inequality in America, his policies have had little impact overall on poverty. A record 47 million Americans receive food stamps, about 13 million more than when he took office.
The poverty rate has stood at 15 percent for three consecutive years, the first time that has happened since the mid-1960s. The poverty rate in 1965 was 17.3 percent; it was 12.5 percent in 2007, before the Great Recession.
About 50 million Americans live below the poverty line, which the federal government defined in 2012 as an annual income of $23,492 for a family of four.
President Obama’s anti-poverty efforts “are basically to give more people more free stuff,” said Robert Rector, a specialist on welfare and poverty at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
“That’s exactly the opposite of what Johnson said,”Mr. Rector said. “Johnson’s goal was to make people prosperous and self-sufficient.”
If you’re poor, realize that Barack Obama doesn’t give a flying DAMN about you. All he cares about is demonizing and slandering his enemies while promising you lies that he will never deliver.
The labor participation rate is a measure of the percent of working-age Americans who actually have JOBS. And Obama with his demonic regulations and taxes and burdens on businesses has made it all but impossible for millions of Americans to ever HOPE of getting a job.
The rich are getting richer faster under Obama than under any president before him. Because Obama is a crony capitalist fascist who has thrived politically using the raw power of government to decide who gets to win and who loses.
And what does Obama do? His policies have caused this holocaust, but with the help of liberal media propaganda that surpasses Joseph Goebbels best work, Obama is able to “never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Even though HE created the crisis to begin with. Obama has been able to slander his opponents – who frankly have had zero ability to change anything – to keep pushing his already broken system further and further past the breaking point.
Democrats are now hell-bent on demagoguing “income inequality” to whole new levels, promising to do more of what they did to create the crisis in the first place and therefore create millions more ignorant, desperate people who will stupidly keep voting for the very people who are hurting them by undermining the economy that they desperately need to keep their heads above water.
Under Obama, the nation that put a man on the moon now gets to beg our enemy Russia to please, please let one of our astronauts ride with you into space for $70 million per trip.
Under Obama, the nation that invented the Internet now abandons its control over the Internet it invented. Because Obama is the “president of the world,” you know. American sovereignty is an evil thing to people like Obama.
But as bad as our domestic situation has been under Obama, it is our national security that has most collapsed.
Every single one of the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/2001 had already entered the country, received their funding and had their training by the time Bill Clinton left office.
But of course the same fascist propaganda media that blamed Bush for everything absolved Bill Clinton of everything. You know, it was Bush’s fault that under President Bill Clinton Osama bin Laden declared war on America and said that our warriors were paper tigers. That’s what these people always do: punish their enemies and reward their friends.
Bill Clinton left America a sitting duck. Or a plucked chicken, given Jeremiah Wright’s infamous “our chickens have come home to roost” metaphor.
So now Obama has been so much WORSE than Clinton ever was that it is almost laughable. Because Clinton was pretty damn bad.
Obama has clearly decided the cause of World War II was that America and the West had the audacity to try to defend themselves rather than baring their throat to a dictator and begging for mercy. Obama wants to re-fight World War II by surrendering and refusing to fight and see what happens that way. After all, when Hitler invaded Poland and Winston Churchill and FDR stood up to him, we ended up in a war. Far better to employ the Neville Chamberlain strategy and get some piece of paper that guarantees “peace in our time.”
Sometimes courageous people have to fight; cowards never do. All they have to do is be willing to live with the consequences of their cowardice. Which cowards are plenty willing to do.
Anyone who believes a damn word our Liar-in-Chief says is an abject fool who deserves destruction. If our allies believe a word Obama says, they’re stupid. And you can rest assured our enemies are salivating at the weakness and fecklessness of Obama’s “God damn America.”
Obama says baloney that laughingly tries to spin reality by claiming he’s winning (much like Charlie Sheen’s “winner” with his “tiger blood” nonsense).
It turns out that Vladimir Putin has more admirers around the world than you might expect for someone using a neo-Soviet combination of violence and the big lie to dismember a neighboring sovereign state. Russia’s strongman garners tacit support, and even some quiet plaudits, from some of the world’s most important emerging powers, starting with China and India. […]
Beside this realpolitik, I was told, there is also an emotional component. Chinese leaders such as Xi Jinping, who grew up under Chairman Mao, still instinctively warm to the idea of another non-Western leader standing up to the capitalist and imperialist West. “Xi likes Putin’s Russia,” said one well-informed observer. […]
Last month, Putin thanked India for its “restrained and objective” stance on Crimea. India’s postcolonial obsession with sovereignty, and resentment of any hint of Western liberal imperialism, plays out — rather illogically — in support for a country that has just dramatically violated its neighbor’s sovereignty. Oh, and by the way, India gets a lot of its arms from Russia.
And there are others. Russia’s two other partners in the so-called BRICS group, Brazil and South Africa, both abstained on the U.N. General Assembly resolution criticizing the Crimea referendum. They also joined Russia in expressing “concern” at the Australian foreign minister’s suggestion that Putin might be barred from attending a Group of 20 summit in November.
What the West faces here is the uncoiling of two giant springs. One is the coiled spring of Mother Russia’s resentment at the way her empire has shrunk over the last 25 years.
The other is the coiled spring of resentment at centuries of Western colonial domination. This takes very different forms in different BRICS countries and members of the G-20. They certainly don’t all have China’s monolithic, relentless narrative of national humiliation since Britain’s Opium Wars. But they do share a strong and prickly concern for their own sovereignty, a resistance to North Americans and Europeans telling them what is good for them, and a certain instinctive glee, or schadenfreude, at seeing Uncle Sam (not to mention little John Bull) being poked in the eye by that pugnacious Russian. Viva Putinismo!
Obviously this is not the immediate issue on the ground in Ukraine, but it is another big vista opened up by the East European crisis. In this broader, geopolitical sense, take note: As we go deeper into the 21st century, there will be more Ukraines.
Timothy Garton Ash is professor of European studies at Oxford University, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and a contributing writer to Opinion. His latest book is “Facts Are Subversive: Political Writing From a Decade Without a Name.”
Vladimir Putin has “tiger blood.” Barack Obama has “chicken blood.”
Russia is winning and winning big. Particularly since the civil war in Syria when Obama issued his “red line” and then did NOTHING after that red line was repeatedly crossed, nobody believes ANY of Obama’s worthless threats.
But it’s okay, because Obama has that treaty that his good fascist pal Putin put together for him to make him look slightly less weak and feckless. Now Syrian dictator Assad is safely in power, and free to continue his vicious civil war in which he’s murdered more than 100,000 of his own people.
It’s worse than a horror movie over there. But don’t worry, Obama’s got his “peace in our time” piece of paper to wave around to his adoring and fawning fascist press.
The number one thing Obama could do to lay a serious hurting on Russia short of going to all-out war would be to get agreements to begin filling the void to supply the oil and natural gas that Russia currently supplies Europe. That would a) strengthen America and the American economy and b) weaken Russia and the Russian economy and c) undermine Russian influence in both Western AND in Eastern Europe in one fell swoop.
And what did Obama do? Make a purely political decision to hold off approving the Keystone Pipeline – to the enragement of one of our few remaining allies Canada – until AFTER the 2014 election so his rejection of it won’t make the slaughter of Democrats even worse.
Because he’s owned by the radical environmentalists who want most of the world’s human population to die and who want America to be economically broken rather than being the engine of manufacturing that made it great.
To the extent that we have any cards to play after six years of Obama, Obama refuses to play them. Obama is like a man who pimps out his girlfriend and keeps counting on his “bitch” to keep loving him and bringing him “his” money. Only, tragically, Obama’s “bitch” has been the United States of America.
Sadly, America has been a faithful bitch indeed to her pimp Obama even though he keeps prostituting her to his cynical political interests. To her own massive hurt.
So things are truly going to hell under Obama in the Atlantic. But at least Obama is in control of things in the Pacific, right?
WASHINGTON — Two and a half years after President Obama vowed to shift America’s diplomatic, economic and military focus to Asia, he will head back to the region this week to try to convince allies and adversaries alike that he really meant it.
Since the much-touted decision to “pivot” to Asia, the Obama administration has found itself repeatedly pulled away by crises in the Middle East, political battles in Washington and, more recently, turmoil in Ukraine. […]
The result is anxiety among allies, and questions about the U.S. commitment to establishing a counterweight to China’s growing economic clout and military assertiveness.
“In polite company people won’t say it, but behind closed doors I think they’ll openly ask where the pivot is,” Victor Cha, former director for Asian affairs in the George W. Bush administration, said at a recent forum at the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and International Studies.
This not being a “polite circle,” I’m free to point out reality: Obama LIED.
Obama’s “pivot” is “just words.” You know, like, “If you like your doctor, I guaran-damn-tee you that you’ll be able to keep your doctor and your health plan. Unless I’m a lying Nazi, that is. In which case, April Fools!”
As China realizes that Obama is a weakling cowardly incompetent fool the same way Russia realized it, do you think that Obama will be able to promise his way out of a mess given all of his past lies and past displays of weakness and fecklessness?
This is a nation on it’s way down. And thanks to the most wicked electorate in the history of the republic, it is a nation on its way out.
The Bible prophesied long ago that America would be nowhere to be found in the last days.
Because “God Damn America” doesn’t get to stick around. Not after we elected a baby-murdering sodomite worshiper – twice.
How far we have fallen in such a short time! And how hard we have yet to fall when the artificial bubble we think will remain around us forever very shortly bursts.
I pointed out above how badly Obama has hurt the poor as he’s given the rich their money (because those rich people LOVE Democrat crony capitalist fascism).
Jeb Bush made some waves by taking a stance on illegal immigration (it was ‘love’ that drove them to flout our rule of law) that have many conservatives saying not in this lifetime to his nomination.
And we’re told every single day by the leftist-oriented media talking head propagandists that any true conservative has absolutely no chance of ever winning the presidency.
Mind you, we also have the same ACTUAL history being replayed on a regular basis: Republicans listen to these leftist talking heads and opt for a RINO – as in “Republican In Name Only” denoting a candidate who is nowhere even CLOSE to being a true principled conservative – for their nominee on the assumption that said RINO will be able to capture the hearts and minds of the morally idiotic undecided voters. But once we have committed to the rationale that the left gives us that a more liberal candidate is a better candidate, the left does the “Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown” trick: they proceed to demonize our RINO and literally give him bloody fangs a la John McCain:
Democrats play the game of “Death by a Thousand Cuts” when it comes to destroying Republican candidates with lies. Only of course it’s a TRILLION cuts as the lies and slander and lunatic demonization piles on and on and on.
That said, it truly IS a difficult problem that a conservative Republican nominee for president is in when it comes to issues such as immigration and homosexual marriage and the like. It often seems, in our truly diseased culture, that the only way a politician has a chance is to be as evil and as toxic as the culture has become.
Ah, but we have an out now. And we have it thanks to Obama.
If you’re a true, rabid, die-hard, vicious conservative and – for the sake of argument – you truly want to punish your enemies and reward your friends the way Obama has done to his enemies on the right and for his friends on the left – what can you do to get elected?
Just lie, lie and then lie some more.
How did Barack Obama resolve his problem with homosexual marriage in 2008? He said something that everyone now knows was never true. He simply lied like hell. Homosexual marriage was what it was convenient for it to be for Obama’s political expediency until homosexual marriage was what it was convenient for it to be for Obama’s political expediency.
Want to take over a sixth of the economy? Lie like hell first and foremost. Hey, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. If you like your health plan you can keep your health plan. And my health plan will reduce costs by $2,500 for a family. Even though it will do the exact opposite.
If you follow Obama’s example, you can say WHATEVER you need to say, get yourself elected, and then do whatever you’re going to do. All the while demonizing everybody else around you.
So, yeah, say the Jeb Bush line. Hell, say it at least 37 times on major venues. And then after you’re elected, deport every damn ONE of the up-to 20 million illegal immigrants. I mean, kick down every damn door in America and drag them out screaming by their hair just because it’s more fun to drag them out that way.
In a stunning admission before a House Committee panel on Tuesday, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson admitted that the Obama Administration has been artificially inflating deportation numbers. While the administration has claimed a “record number” of deportations, earning Pres. Obama the nickname “Deporter in Chief”, Johnson admitted that they have been counting border apprehensions that are turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers as deportations. […]
Jessica Vaughan, the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, has been arguing that actual deportations have declined under Pres. Obama. In her research, she says that if you count all removals, including those done by ICE and Border Patrol, then the Obama administration averages 800,000 removals per year. In comparison, George W. Bush would have removed more than 1.3 million illegal aliens per year, and Bill Clinton would have removed more than 1.5 million per year.
Vaughan also found that if you examine deportations from enforcement efforts by ICE, the number declined by 19 percent between 2011 and 2012 and was on track to decline another 22 percent in 2013. Further, the total number of deportations in 2011 was the lowest level since 1973.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson acknowledged Tuesday that his department’s deportation numbers are now mostly made up of illegal immigrants caught at the border, not just those from the interior, which means they can’t be compared one-to-one with deportations under President Bush or other prior administrations.
The administration has argued it is tougher on illegal immigration than previous presidents, and immigrant-rights groups have excoriated President Obama, calling him the “deporter-in-chief” for having kicked out nearly 2 million immigrants during his five-year tenure.
But Republican critics have argued those deportation numbers are artificially inflated because more than half of those being deported were new arrivals, caught at the border by the U.S. Border Patrol. Previous administrations primarily counted only those caught in the interior of the U.S. by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Under the Obama administration, more than half of those removals that were attributed to ICE are actually a result of Border Patrol arrests that wouldn’t have been counted in prior administrations,” said Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican.
That would mean that in a one-to-one comparison with the final years of the Bush administration, deportations of those same people under Mr. Obama had actually fallen, according to immigration analysts who have studied the data.
So if you are the conservative mirror of Obama, with dishonesty being your common ground, here’s what you will do: you will kick down doors and you will drag out every single illegal immigrant in America by their damn hair while their children scream for their mommies and daddies. But you will say you will do (are doing and have done) just the opposite. That way, you can be like Obama and have your political cake and get to eat it too.
Just lie, lie, LIE like the devil Obama. Say whatever you want. Say illegal immigrants flooding into America is “an act of love.” And then ruthlessly target them the way the Obama thug IRS targeted the tea party while announcing how loving you are.
There you go. Intractable political problem solved. And all it takes is the willingness to be the worst liar in the history of the human race (after Obama, who has set the bar of deceit and dishonesty so high no one will ever break his record).
Now, I write that knowing the future because I know the Bible. It won’t happen. It won’t happen because America has degenerated into a place where liars and their lies will win, and Democrats are just better at being liars while their base is better at tolerating lies. Republicans can’t win that game any better than they can win the socialism game by promising to out-socialist the Democrats to buy whatever votes they need to buy.
I think – maybe even dare to hope – that Republicans will have a great 2014 midterm. But by 2016, the consistent liars will win the day (in other words, President Hillary).
You see, there comes a point when a culture is so toxic that there are simply no good options. We’ll have only “choices” like we had in 2012 (where we could either elect a man who believes that Christ Jesus is Lucifer’s brother or we could re-elect a man who actually ISLucifer’s brother). And given the choice between bad and worse, a wicked people will generally choose “worse.” Until a Hitler comes and then until the end.
God knew and knows the end from the beginning. He knew that America would rise on godly values and He knew that America would fall as the people became sufficiently wicked as to vote for a Democrat Party that would pervert and piss on every virtue the Word of God holds dear. That’s why America is nowhere to be found in Bible prophecy as we literally vote to destroy ourselves in the suicidal and nihilistic act of cutting ourselves off from God’s blessing. God knew that America was going to go down and go down hard.
Ultimately, big government liberals will transition to the ultimate big government liberal: the Bible calls him “the beast” and he will take over the global economy just as every liberal as dreamed about. Like Obama, he will promise the world and make political progress by skillfully demonizing his enemies. But he will lead the world into literal hell on earth.
