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
I truly don’t know what to make of this Pope. There are some things I like about him; there are some things I really don’t like about him. He is truly fearless about his personal safety and he truly seems to have a heart of Christlike compassion for the poor, the sick and the downtrodden. But he also seems to have a profound naiveté about economics and science and doesn’t seem to understand how his words are being hijacked by people and organizations that are Christianity’s very worst enemies.
And therein lies the rub. Pope Francis issues a statement on global warming and calls it a crisis that we must work to solve. I don’t think the man understands the science or the genuine and legitimate scientific debate coming from the scientists he dismises, but okay. But what does he GROUND his statement about fighting global warming on?
● “Since everything is interrelated, concern for the protection of nature is also incompatible with the justification of abortion. How can we genuinely teach the importance of concern for other vulnerable beings, however troublesome or inconvenient they may be, if we fail to protect a human embryo, even when its presence is uncomfortable and creates difficulties?”
● “When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected.”
● “There is a tendency to justify transgressing all boundaries when experimentation is carried out on living human embryos. We forget that the inalienable worth of a human being transcends his or her degree of development.”
That’s right, liberals: the sanctity of human life, the inalienable worth of all human beings, the transcendent value and dignity of humanity, most especially including the unborn human life in the womb.
But what did the leftist secular humanist media do? They either completely ignored that part – while stripping from the discussion what they didn’t like and hyping the part they LIKED – or they quibbled with the Pope’s reasoning while insisting on hypocritically clutching to the Pope’s authority after they rejected the very authority of the man whose authority they are clutching to.
At this point it is difficult for me to understand how this Pope is so isolated from his own media coverage that he doesn’t understand how his words are being radically stripped from their context and politically demagogued into a weapon against the very Christians he claims to represent.
I listen to the Pope talk about peace as if the United States not going to war against evil would bring about peace. Does the man truly not realize that we have the LARGEST and most CATASTROPHIC crisis migration in the world today since the very worst of World War II because we have essentially done what this Pope said and not confronted evil with force? Does he not realize that Iraq and Afghanistan – which were once secure by fighting men who combined force with moral courage – and Syria are going down the toilet bowl into hell because we have withdrawn? We listen to the Pope’s words on economics. And yes, they, like many other things the Pope said were so nuanced as to be basically meaningless – to the sense that socialism is a good thing and capitalism is a bad thing. But how can he not simply have eyes to see and ears to hear and witness the overall wealth that has come to societies that practice capitalism contrasted with the ravaging poverty that has been ENDEMIC to socialist countries and not comprehend that his analysis is far too simplistic?
I speak the above paragraph recognizing that the mainstream media has so dishonestly stripped the meaning of the Pope’s words that convey a support for socialism and allow socialists to literally say they are acting out Jesus’ teaching when they massively expand the power of the very human government system that put Jesus to death on a Roman government cross. The Catholic News Agency is rushing out to try to quell this ocean of disinformation. But to what avail?
All that nuance – which I find frankly horrifying in that I would rather people disagree understanding one another’s viewpoints than have facile agreements based on rhetoric and twisting shades of shadowy nuance – aside, let’s get to at least one unequivocal example of the popular Pope Francis IN YO’ FACE, leftist:
Pope Francis said on Monday government officials have a “human right” to refuse to discharge a duty, such as issuing marriage licenses to homosexuals, if they feel it violates their conscience.
Speaking to reporters as he returned home from a 10-day trip to the United States and Cuba, Francis also repeated his condemnation of priests who had sexually abused children, saying the victims had been “crushed by evil”.
Although the Argentine-born pontiff delved into some of the United States’ thorniest political debates during his visit, he never specifically referred to a controversy over same-sex marriages, which the Church firmly opposes.
On the flight back to Rome, he was asked if he supported individuals, including government officials, who refuse to abide by some laws, such as issuing marriage licences to gays.
“Conscientious objection must enter into every juridical structure because it is a right,” Francis said.
Earlier this month a county official in the state of Kentucky, Kim Davis, went to jail because she refused to issue a marriage license to a gay couple following a Supreme Court decision to make homosexual marriage legal.
Davis’s case has taken on national significance in the 2016 presidential campaign, with one Republican contender, Mike Huckabee, holding rallies in favour of Davis, a Apostolic Christian, who has since joined the Republican party.
“I can’t have in mind all cases that can exist about conscientious objection but, yes, I can say that conscientious objection is a right that is a part of every human right,” he said, speaking in Italian.
“And if someone does not allow others to be a conscientious objector, he denies a right,” he added.
Francis said conscientious objection had to be respected in legal structures. “Otherwise we would end up in a situation where we select what is a right, saying: ‘This right has merit, this one does not.'”
So we must understand that the people who are citing the Pope as their champion on global warming and a host of other issues were just morally condemned AS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATORS.
Barack Obama is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR. Obama in fact wants to keep pushing farther and farther and forcing people of good conscience to violate their consciences on more and more issues or face the full-weight of totalitarian secular humanist socialist government power. Hillary Clinton is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR, according to the Pope that the left most adores. The Democrat Party is a PARTY of human rights violation.
This mindset that human government is the end of all there is, all there was or all there ever will be, and that people ought to be thralls under its raw power, are EVIL.
I marvel at the left and the incredibly cynical way they exploit Jesus Christ: Jesus was NOT a socialist. At NO point during His ministry did Jesus EVER claim that government ought to be feeding the poor, taking care of the sick, etcetera. He said to His disciples, YOU do these things. He never so much as even remotely SUGGESTED that King Herod’s Jewish government or Pontius Pilate’s Roman government ought to install a welfare system or a socialized medical system.
I read a couple of passages in the Old Testament to people: I read 1 Samuel chapter 8:10-22
10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.14 He will takethe best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[a] and donkeys he will take for his own use.17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”
19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us.20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.”
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the Lord.22 The Lord answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
When the people wanted expanded human government, it was NOT a good thing to the LORD God; it was an EVIL thing that God condemned.
Another passage I read to people is Daniel 2:31-35:
31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance.32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Daniel goes on to explain this dream in verses 36-45 that the king of Babylon had and we know understand from history what these successive governments were: the king and Babylon was the head of gold; with successive human governments that would arise after him and after Babylon: the next government characterized by silver would be the Medo-Persians, the third government that was of bronze would be the Greeks following the conquest of Alexander the Great. The fourth government of iron would be Rome. And a final government that was partly of iron, and partly of clay (many believe this represents the worst blend of both fascism and democracy) would be a revived Roman empire that continues to exist to this day and will ultimately rise to true power under the government of the coming Antichrist.
We find that human government doesn’t get better, it gets WORSE. With each successive government, the worst of the preceding government is carried on, with less valuable elements characterizing the whole. Human government isn’t getting better; it is getting WORSE. And ultimately a Stone, represented by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will crash into the government of the Antichrist and destroy it. And destroy the entire system of human government because human government is FAILURE.
The Stone is cut out of the mountain without hands. It is NOT an entity of ANY human making. It is the divine Messiah that Democrats have made it their mission in life to REJECT as they keep pushing for more and more and MORE human government that will be the very thing that Christ will come to war against and to destroy in the coming last days.
If I may project the past and present of the Democrat Party to its future: Democrats have radically chosen the wrong side, the side of human government at WAR with Jesus Christ and His ways and His Kingdom. They WILL take the side of the Antichrist – the ultimate power of human government – and they WILL take his mark on their right hands or on their foreheads. They have already been worshiping the power of human government as “savior” for decades. And Democrats WILL be broken and destroyed by the Stone, Jesus Christ, and they WILL ultimately burn in hell for their wicked choices that we ALREADY see in their pathological drive to murder babies and exalt homosexuality.
I know that I am digressing, but the Word of God is also crystal clear about the notion of entering into a covenant with a nation like Iran – and the subterfuges and outright lies that Obama manifested in order to shove this covenant through every obstacle:
You boast, “We have struck a bargain to cheat death and have made a deal to dodge the grave. The coming destruction can never touch us, for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.”.” — Isaiah 28:15
Most translations of this passage use the phrase, “a covenant with death.” But the above provides the most accurate essence of what Isaiah is saying: we have wicked people who will try to make a covenant with death in order to cheat death. While they themselves have brought that very death upon themselves by their depraved appeasement. Iran is a nation that has made “a covenant with death” its very FOUNDATION. During the Iran-Iraq War, Iran sent 100,000 of its minor-age CHILDREN screaming across the front line to be blown to bits in death charge after death charge. This nation is a DEATH CULT and CONTINUES to be a death cult that screams, “Death to America! Death to Israel!” Iran is a death cult to its very CORE. And Barack Obama is a wicked man who entered into a wicked, unholy agreement with a death cult because he is a coward who lives by lies. And the Barack Obama presidency is therefore ITSELF “a covenant with death.”
Isaiah 28:25 is “the Obama verse,” as it captures the very essence of the wicked heart of this liar without shame, without honor, without decency, without virtue of any kind, as he exploits lie after lie after lie and the stupidity of sheople to believe those lies, as he imposes all of his covenants with death.
NOTHING that Barack Obama has done, NOTHING that the Democrat Party has done, is anything CLOSE to God’s will.
Democrats have WARRED on the VERY PEOPLE whom Jesus empowered to take care of the poor, the sick and the downtrodden. They have actively sought to minimize the role of the Church. That fact was manifested in another of the Pope’s actions while he was here as he visited with the Little Sisters of the Poor – casualties of the hatred toward the Church manifested by Barack Obama and his Democrat Party machine. Democrats have every day and in every way actively sought to make more and more and more crushingly powerful the very system of human government that the Bible says is DOOMED to failure.
But you’ll never hear the words or teachings of Jesus accurately portrayed. Any more than you’ll likely ever hear the words or teachings of this Pope accurately depicted by pathologically dishonest secular humanist liberals for that matter, I suppose.
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.

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.
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.
“Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past,” we were assured in the year 2000 when the left still called their ideology “global warming.” “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” we were told.
I wonder if liberals are saying that in Boston right now:
More snow fell on Boston on Sunday, enough to make this the snowiest season ever on record there.
The National Weather Service said 2.9 inches fell by 7 p.m., pushing total snowfall for the winter of 2014-2015 to 108.6 inches.
That is a full inch over the previous record set during the winter of 1995-1996, the service’s Boston office tweeted, and the most since record books started in 1872.
The achievement brought cheerful, tongue-in-cheek celebration from many of the snow-weary survivors of winter in Boston.
“Putting the win in winter!” tweeted Christina Pazzanese.
“We got the GOLD!” tweeted WBZ weatherman Barry Burbank.
But Michael Wissell spoke for many when he tweeted: ” Sweet. Can we have spring now?”
I mean, the fact that Boston just had the most snowfall EVER doesn’t mean that they’re not still spouting their gibberish. Because liberals are stupid enough and immune enough from reality to look you in the eye and actually believe their own bovine feces when they claim that the global warming alarmists of just fifteen years ago were somehow legitimate “scientists” and that their “climate change” hasn’t been refuted by their own previous fraudulent and foolish predictions.
There have been so many bogus predictions that it is beyond a joke from these fools. But they still have the megaphone over the culture and they’re still making bogus predictions based on their ideology rather than any actual science.
Climates change. They always have. They always will.
A “climate change” drought ended the Mayan Empire. There were no mean-spirited Republicans driving SUVs over the rain forests.
And just as we’ve had droughts throughout the history of planet earth, we’ve had ice ages. None of which had a damn thing to do with human activity.
Climate change has nothing to do with human carbon dioxide pollution. When you learnhow “CO2” became the bogeyman of the left you’ve got to try not to laugh it’s so asinine. In actual fact “anthropogenic CO2 produces less than 0.1 of one percent of the greenhouse effect.” Climate change was an environmental reality before there were any factories or cars or whatever. Climate change was in fact an environmental reality even before there were any humans. But that’s a fact and that’s reality – and liberals despise both facts and reality.
Liberals are liars and frauds and dishonest fools. They always have been. They were liars and frauds and dishonest fools when they claimed that communist socialism was the solution to ending poverty but instead became a boot stomping on a human face for seventy years before collapsing under its economic failure. They were liars and frauds and dishonest fools when they claimed that fascist socialism was the solution to ending poverty but instead produced the Holocaust and World War II before collapsing under its disastrous failure. But the “always learning, but never coming to a knowledge of the truth” fool left is still claiming that European socialism is the answer.
Socialism and “climate change” are the same thing with the same means, the same ends and the same justifications.
I learned that something like twenty years ago during the Kyoto Protocols on global warming. You see, the same people who were screaming Chicken Little-style that we had this godawful crisis and we had to act now, NOW, NOW!!! and gut the U.S. and European economies did a wink-wink and a nod-nod and exempted Russia, China, India and pretty much the entire developing world from having to cut their emissions. You know, while China and India were building mass-polluting coal plants at gargantuan rates.
At that point in time, I had the same views I have today: which is to say, I believed that we were going into the last days when Jesus and the prophets in the Bible told us that weather would go crazy. So I was perfectly willing to accept the climate crazy crazies.
But what the climate crazy crazies ended up doing was to say with their actions that “climate change” wasn’t really much a crisis. Because if it was, the whole WORLD would have to get behind any legitimate effort. And instead all the countries that were communist or socialist or politically correct were getting their waivers and their exemptions and it was only capitalist countries that were being targeted and attacked to gut their economies in order to “save the planet.”
What they really wanted to do was redistribute the wealth in order to save socialism by undermining capitalist economies and propping up socialism with Other People’s Money. And if these pseudo-scientific frauds have to tell you that the moon is made out of cheese to sell that load of crap, they will assure you that the overwhelming majority of scientists believe that the moon is made of cheese.
And it’s been empty leftwing philosophies and high-sounding nonsense ever since.
The constancy of the fact that liberals will ALWAYS be liars and frauds and dishonest fools is as true as the fact that we will always have constant climate change cycles.
I already pointed out what you needed to know several years back. There’s “What the Science REALLY Says About Global Warming,” and there’s “What You Never Hear About Global Warming.” Meanwhile, the left doesn’t want you to know the truth about legitimate science and what they’ve done to pervert science as they push their socialist agenda on people who ought to have the sense to know better.
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 NLT
We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. – 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NLT
If I sound furious, it is because I am FURIOUS. We have watched the Party of Lies, the Party of Satan, take over America and it may be too late to change course now from the “God damn America” that Barack Obama and the Democrat Party have “fundamentally transformed America” into.
The essence of fascists is that they must lead the stupid sheep to pasture and they often have to lead the stupid animals by deception.
Democrats are tied with “the most pathologically dishonest people who ever existed.” Because you can be AS dishonest as a Democrat, but it is impossible to be MORE dishonest.
Let us listen to the true voice of fascist liberal arrogance:
The tape, played on Fox News’ “The Kelly File,” showed Gruber speaking at an October 2013 event at Washington University in St. Louis.
Referring to the so-called “Cadillac tax” on high-end health plans, he said: “They proposed it and that passed, because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference.”
Gruber specifically was referring to the way the “Cadillac tax” was designed — he touted their plan to, instead of taxing policy holders, tax the insurance companies that offered them. He suggested that taxing individuals would have been politically unpalatable, but taxing the companies worked because Americans didn’t understand the difference.
And ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber in a different speech:
This is similar to remarks he made at a separate event around the same time in 2013. In a clip of that event, Gruber said the “lack of transparency” in the way the law was crafted was critical. “Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” he said.
Did Gruber do this twice? Nope; he did it at least three times (and probably many more):
A third clip of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber has emerged, this time of the MIT professor speaking to a University of Rhode Island crowd in 2012 about the health care law’s so-called “Cadillac tax” — and bragging at the utter inability of the American people to comprehend its complexities.
The “Cadillac tax” requires that insurance companies, not individual policy holders, pay the difference between higher- and lower-cost packages — a plan that was pushed into realization by then-Sen. John Kerry, Mr. Gruber said, Fox News reported.
Mr. Gruber then said that a tax on individuals would have been “politically impossible” — but that a tax on companies would prove palatable to voters, mostly because they didn’t understand.
His comments, Fox News reported: “So basically, it’s the same thing. We just tax the insurance companies, they pass on higher prices that offsets the tax break we get, it ends up being the same thing. It’s very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter.”
These audio comments followed a clip that was played on Fox News’ “The Kelly File” on Tuesday evening that showed Mr. Gruber speaking at Washington University in St. Louis about the same “Cadillac tax” and saying it passed “because the American people are too stupid to understand the difference.”
And before that, another clip made the media rounds of Mr. Gruber saying at a different event in 2013 that Obamacare passed due in large part to its “lack of transparency.”
His widely reported comments: “Basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”
Mr. Gruber has since expressed regret on national television for his comments. But critics of Obamacare say his remarks only prove what many on the left really believe about Americans.
“It confirms people’s greatest fear about the government,” Sen. John Barrasso, Fox News reported. “Remember, it was Nancy Pelosi who said first you have to pass [Obamacare] before you get to find out what’s in it.”
And yes, I know when I said “fascist liberal” I was employing a tautology and saying the same thing twice in a slightly different way. You know, like the heart of liberal Darwinism’s “survival of the fittest,” where the “fittest” are defined as “the ones who survive.” Because “fascism” survived as “liberalism.” And one is as pathologically dishonest as the other.
Democrats are like the people who come up to you with a story to get money. and you give them money because you buy their pathetic story. And they walk away with your money mocking you for a stupid idiot because you were actually stupid enough to believe them.
And Democrats are nothing but liars and horrible demon-possessed people. So you actually MUSTbe truly stupid to believe them.
“Democrat.” It sounds good, right? You know, it sounds like somebody who cares about the will and the voice of the people.
Bullcrap. Democrats have naked CONTEMPT for the will and the voice of the people. The people are obstacles, they are pathetically stupid sheep who must be deceived in order to be hauled off to the slaughtering pen.
After the first tape surfaced — prompting Republican outrage — Gruber went on MSNBC to express regret. On Tuesday, he said: “I was speaking off the cuff and I basically spoke inappropriately, and I regret having made those comments.”
But after Fox News played the second tape, GOP lawmakers said it proves what they’ve been saying all along.
Jonathon Gruber went on MSNBC rather than on Fox News because if he’d gone on the air with Megyn Kelly it would have taken about twenty seconds for everyone to know which one of those two was the “stupid” one. He knows he has to go to the channel that only STUPID PEOPLE WATCH in order to sell his patent lies.
The “stupid people” are Democrats. It’s not Republicans that are idiot enough to watch MSNBC. It’s the Nazi faithful who follow their Führer and await his next message from his bunker (and I don’t give a damn if you call it “the Führerbunker” or “the White House.” Because it’s the same place by a different name under this “president.”
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.
Democratic Senate Minority Leader-elect Harry Reid called Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber “one of the most respected economists in the world” on the Senate floor during the 2009 push to pass Obamacare.
Lies and hypocrisy are the essence of Democrats. If you’re not a hypocrite and a liar, you’re not a Democrat. If you are a liar and a hypocrite, you are either a Democrat or a cockroach Nazi fascist by some other name crawling slithering around over some other part of planet earth. All you want is big totalitarian government to be imposed by any means necessary. But whether you’re an ISIS terrorist sawing people’s heads off or Barack Obama, if you are a Democrat you are somebody who views people as an obstacle who must either be exterminated, intimidated or lied to in order to get your way.
“NAZI” stood for “National Socialist German Workers Party.” And for the record, that party was the “German Workers Party” until Hitler got ahold of it. Because Satan is a socialist. It was HITLER who changed it to the National Socialist German Workers Party so that the world could better experience the hell of socialism after the communists gave us the first taste of that wicked, ugly hell. Neither of those two groups were ever honest about their project, either. If there was a “National Socialist American Workers Party,” and you don’t believe that would be the damned DEMOCRAT Party, you are worse than a fool to be that kind of ignorant to be so morally idiotic to believe that it is conservatives and Republicans who want to make America “socialist.”
Who votes Democrat? BAD PEOPLE, that’s who. People who are selfish and greedy and vote to take the stuff that other people worked for by raw government force, just like the damned Nazis did when they looted other people’s wealth from them. And they do it the same way the Nazis did; by pitting groups against groups and arguing for instance that white people are thieves and don’t deserve what they have. Just like the Nazis argued their race-baiting lies that Jews were thieves and didn’t deserve what they have.
Let’s describe the people who vote Democrat:
First there are the welfare turds. We now have in America generations of families who have never worked – unless you define “work” by “making more babies” in order to collect a larger welfare check. We have now more “Americans” on welfare than ever before in history. Which, to put it in Obama campaign-slogan terms means, “Yes we CAN go on welfare and food stamps and join the massively growing Useless Class who do absolutely NOTHING to build America and absolutely EVERYTHING to help collapse it. 100% of this group who can get off their lazy butts long enough to cast a ballot vote “Democrat.” To wit: the Democrat Party literally purchased their vote.
Then there are the “working class.” But let’s define what that REALLY means: the UNION class. The UNION class – because let’s call them what they truly are – survive by “collective bargaining.” Because throughout history, good workers who actually produced a benefit for their employers have never had to worry about their jobs, but only the lazy, bitter, slacker “workers” were in jeopardy. The trick to “collective bargaining” has always been to lie (see this whole damned article as a “for example”) to decent workers and deceive them into supporting the lazy, useless slackers who would have otherwise been FIRED in any honest workplace. And once you get your union in, good luck trying to fire these turds. And yeah, most of them vote “Democrat,” too. Because socialist Democrats impose bureaucracies, laws, regulations and judges that make it impossible for employers to do anything but knuckle under to the blue lie agenda of unions and Democrats who alternately climb over each other’s backs to keep grabbing more and more and more share of the pie.
Then you’ve got your intellectual class who live in the ivory towers of the universities. They actually have a lot in common with the first two groups above; namely, they live off of other people and depend upon government policy for their largesse. The cost of colleges/universities has inflated FAR more than damned near anything else. Do you know why? Because it’s an industry that is subsidized by the government. Government keeps pumping out “student loans” and increasing the amount of student loans as the costs of education skyrocket. And so colleges and universities respond by further raising the costs of education – because the students (another group of “stupid people” fwiw) – backed by more and more loan money that will put them in debt for DECADES – can “afford” higher tuition. And then higher tuition and higher tuition and higher tuition, ad infinitum.
A vote for the Democrat Party is a vote for education costs that you either can’t afford or decide to become a debt-slave to the government for decades to come in order to be able to afford.
And so if you are a “professor” what you really are is a pig with your snout shoved up past your ears into the trough of government socialism.
Your whole way of life depends on it.
And you therefore keep spewing and pumping out propaganda to keep the system flowing so it will keep pouring more of other people’s money into your pig trough. And you vote Democrat, of course. Because the Democrat Party is the Party of Pig Troughs.
What you find is that the Koch Brothers – the face of the evil Filthy Rich Republican – aren’t even ON the list of the top fifty donors. But a whole lot of Filthy Rich LIBERALS sure are.
There’s a passage from Burton Folsom Jr.’s book, New Deal or Raw Deal that comes closer to framing the essence of FDR’s New Deal in a nutshell – and explaining why the Filthy Rich vote Democrat – than anything I can think of:
Let’s start with the New Deal’s effort to promote industrial recovery: the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), which became law in 1933 and was soon shortened to the NRA. Of that act, Roosevelt said, “History will probably record the National Industrial Recovery Act as the most important and far-reaching legislation ever enacted by the American Congress.” The president was right: the NRA was revolutionary. It allowed American industrialists to collaborate to set the prices of their products, and even the wages and hours that went into making them. Leaders in all industries, from steel and coal to shoulder pads and dog food, were invited to sit down together and write “codes of fair competition” that would be binding on all producers in their industry. — page 41
This identical tactic was employed again and again in various components of the New Deal: the rich and the powerful were able to cozy up to the politicians and write the laws and regulations that enabled THEM to continue but suppressed their smaller competitors from being able to compete. In some ways, the brilliance of the scheme was its counter-intuitiveness: the Filthy Rich imposed regulations on themselves that made the cost of doing business dramatically higher. Because they could afford to pay those higher costs of complying with regulations but their smaller competitors could not.
And thus the Filthy Rich and the Democrat Party became bedfellows: the Democrats got the massive totalitarian fascist control they wanted and the Filthy Rich got to choke out their smaller competitors and retain supremacy.
That tactic is still used to this very day even as the Democrats slanderously demonize the other side as doing what THEY are the ones who do: they keep imposing more and more and more and more sweeping regulations which drive up the cost of doing business. The small business that would have competed with the bigger companies and corporations can’t afford to comply with the burdens; but the Filthy Rich just hire another regulatory compliance officer and keep sailing along, knowing that they can increase their prices and make the people pay because they have no competition to drive their profits down.
Let me tell you a secret the Democrat Party, their mainstream media propagandists and their pseudo-intellectual leftist professor class don’t want you to know:
Economic inequality in the US reaches levels not seen since Great Depression Wealth inequality in the US is reaching its most extreme point since just before the start of the Great Depression in 1929, according to a new economic analysis. Even the 1 percent are lagging behind the 0.01 percent.
Christian Science Monitor
By Henry Gass
November 10, 2014
It’s 2014, but when it comes to wealth inequality in the United States, it’s starting to look a lot like 1929.
In the late 1920s, the top 10 percent of Americans possessed 84 percent of the country’s wealth. Since then, wealth inequality in America has followed a U-shaped trajectory, declining through the Great Depression until the mid-1980s, then steadily increasing since then. Now, the richest Americans have a share of the country’s wealth almost big enough to rival those in the late 1920s, according to a new study
The study, from Emmanuel Saez of the University of California at Berkeley and Gabriel Zucman of the London School of Economics, uses a greater variety of sources to paint its picture of wealth inequality in the US than other recent analyses. […]
According to an analysis of data sourced through 2012 – including detailed data on personal income taxes and property tax – Professors Saez and Zucman found that the richest 0.1 percent of Americans have as much of the country’s wealth as the poorest 90 percent. Both groups control roughly 22 percent of total wealth, but while the average wealth of the bottom 90 percent is $84,000, the top 0.1 percent were comprised of 160,700 families with net assets above $20 million, according to their study.
An even closer look at their data has shown that while the growth of the American middle class has been restricted by modest income growth and soaring debt –thanks in large part to the 2008 mortgage crisis – the super-rich have been making significant gains in income and wealth.
While the bottom 90 percent of Americans and the top 0.1 percent control about 22 percent of the country’s wealth each, the top 0.01 percent of Americans now control 11.2 percent of total wealth. That share of the wealth held by the country’s richest 0.01 percent – a group of roughly 16,000 families with an average net worth of $371 million – is the largest share they’ve had since 1916, the highest on record, according to the study.
I think I’ve already explained why that is.
Keep in mind that for the first two years of Obama Democrats controlled the ENTIRE government. They passed EVERYTHING they wanted to pass and shoved it down the American peoples’ throats – lying as needed, we now know. Since then, they have held lock step control of the White House or the Führerbunker or whatever the hell Obama calls it when he’s not golfing, and the Senate under Democrat Harry Reid has blocked more Republican-House-passed bills and shut down more amendments than all previous Senate Majority Leaders in the entire history of the republic TIMES TWO.
But we’ve got two more giant lies from the party of the devil going on; namely, number one, that it’s somehow the Republican Party that is the “party of obstruction” when it’s the damn DEMOCRAT Party and number two that income inequality is the fault of Republicans when it has been the result of OBAMA’S vile FDR-esqe policies that have created this disaster.
Democrats – liars, remember – will tell you about “corporate welfare” and they’ll tell you about the big banks being given billions by Republicans. Just remember that Barack Obama voted for that deal that gave the banks billions in that bailout, that the Tea Party who are Obama’s primary conservative enemies opposed it fiercely and bitterly. If you’re a Lehman Brothers, or a Morgan Stanley or a JP Morgan or a Citigroup or a Goldman Sachs, well, you know who your Führer is. But, hey, you’re a Democrat, so you can always just LIE and blame what you did on your opponents, right?
Every single Democrat votes to crush the small businesses and therefore exalt the Filthy Rich. That is the malicious fascist evil of the Democrat Party tradition – and it has been thus for over eighty years.
If you don’t like exalting the Filthy Rich, support conservative Tea Party Republicans. Well, or else be a Democrat LIAR and lie about it being the fault of the other side who opposes the very thing you want to do and demonize them for doing.
I could add to these groups the people who despise America, the William Ayers and the Professor Ward Churchills and your Black Panther types. I could add the bitter race-baiters, I could add the people who want to divide America up by gender, or by all the other issues that these people want to divide America with. I could add the illegal immigrants who have no love for America or its ways but only want to come here to be able to exploit what others built. There are a lot of horrible, bad, warped, evil people who form the nucleus of the Democrat Party.
But let’s just stick with the three groups I discussed at greater length above, so you can contemplate the incredibly parasitical nature of the Democrat Party that is the party of leeches.
And realize that the quintessential tactic of this diseased party is to lie and lie and lie and then lie some more.
Because to the extent they aren’t truly “stupid,” they know that the American people are increasingly – since Democrats drove God out of this nation – become a bad people. And it is always the nature of bad people to prefer lies to the truth.
On a daily basis, you have the left screaming for a higher and higher minimum wage, beyond what most businesses can afford to pay entry-level and unskilled workers.
The unions want it because they will then demand a wage hike for THEIR workers; after all, if that unskilled slob is now earning twice what he used to, surely that union worker ought to earn twice as much, too, right???
It doesn’t matter how much it hurts the little people who both struggle to run small businesses and struggle to find jobs as they are literally priced out of the market as it simply doesn’t pay to hire them anymore.
So I’m watching the television and there’s this leftist professor demanding higher minimum wages.
Let it come out of HER wages. Because as a liberal professor, she represents THE most depraved money-hungry predator of ALL:
That according to the Los Angeles Times dated TODAY.
Tuition is skyrocketing. The cost of college textbooks is skyrocketing. And who runs that vile system lock, stock and barrel? Cockroach liberals who say “other people ought to be forced to pay more.”
THEY ought to be forced to pay more.
I propose college tuition and books be reduced at the expense of college/university faculty and staff.
I further propose that any “living wage” increase ought to come right out of the wages of union workers who want to force other people to get gouged to pay for.
Let’s call it the “If you want it, YOU effing pay for it!” law.
Consider a smattering of articles I’ve written on the subject of “minimum wage”:
Minimum wage increases invariably result in fewer employers offering the entry-level jobs that people need to begin working their way up the ladder to self-sufficiency.
Democrats WANT and in fact NEED people to be dependent on government. That’s why they deliberately sabotage the jobs that people need to be able to succeed without them and their garbage socialism.
Democrats want the redistribution of wealth. I’m fine with that; redistribute THEIR wealth and see how long they think it’s a good idea.
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. — Revelation 13:16-17
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelans could soon have to scan their fingerprints to buy bread.
President Nicolas Maduro says a mandatory fingerprinting system is being implemented at grocery stores to combat food shortages by keeping people from buying too much of a single item. He calls it an “anti-fraud system” like the fingerprint scan the country uses for voting.
In announcing the plan late Wednesday, Maduro did not say when the system would take effect, but other administration officials suggested it could be in place by December or January.
The move was met with skepticism. Critics said the new system is tantamount to rationing and constitutes a breach of privacy. Others simply wondered if anything short of a systemic overhaul of the economy could help the socialist South American country’s chronically bare shelves.
Venezuela has been grappling with shortages of basic goods like cooking oil and flour for more than a year. In the spring, the administration tried out a similar system in government-run supermarkets on a voluntary basis.
Rigid currency controls and a shortage of U.S. dollars have made it increasingly difficult for Venezuelans to find imported products. Price controls don’t help either, with producers complaining that some goods are priced too low to make a profit and justify production.
The administration blames the shortages both on companies speculating with an eye toward future profits and on black market vendors who buy groceries at subsidized prices and illegally resell them for several times the amount.
In his announcement, Maduro floated the possibility of easing some of the country’s price controls, though he did not provide specifics. Defenders of the controls say that by keeping prices for basic goods artificially low, Venezuela helps the nation’s poor lead more dignified lives.
Last week, Venezuela began closing its border with Colombia at night in an effort to cut down on smuggling, which Maduro has said diverts nearly half of Venezuela’s food.
As of January, more than a quarter of basic staples were out of stock in Venezuelan stores, according to the central bank’s scarcity index.
As always, it starts with the leftists. Those who worship human Government and the State in place of God are the source of evil that pushes mankind closer and closer and closer toward the ultimate big government and the ultimate political messiah that they keep preferring over God and His Kingdom.
And so we have here “the fruits of liberalism,” the chronic food shortages provided by socialism.
Socialism is a completely failed worldview – just like all the OTHER leftist “-isms” such as postmodernism, existentialism, communism, fascism, feminism, Marxism, etc. ad nauseam. It makes people turn to the Government – to arrogant bureaucrats who stand in the place of God as your Savior – for provision rather than working themselves like decent people. It discourages hard work because it kills any way for one to be allowed to profit from working harder.
And thus food shortages. Which then – with socialism having failed – requires more socialism to solve the problem. So we move from socialism creating food shortages to socialism being further used to ration the remaining food.
Evil man will NEVER turn to God. If Government doesn’t work, obviously the only solution is still MORE Government. Always. Never God. Never His ways. Never.
And being evil, thus the stratagem to bring us closer and closer and closer to the Mark of the Beast. Because the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast is ultimately what the left yearns for in this world.
The Mark of the Beast is a global economic and political system that will have profoundly spiritual implications. In choosing it, people will be officially and permanently rejecting God and confirming that they are Government’s citizens rather than God’s people. And they will be damned to hell forever and ever the moment they take it on their right hand or on their forehead.
What is fascinating is that the RFD chips that already are ready for implementation RIGHT NOW are going to go in the forehead (just look over the scanner) or the hand (just pass your hand through the scanner).
Coin and paper money is already largely gone with the overwhelming majority of transactions being digital.
With such money gone, and digital money all that remains to buy and sell, it ought to be obvious to anyone who isn’t a fool that all that remains is for a political system to seize control of it to exploit it to their ends.
With the mark, everything you do will be automatically tracked and monitored by the Government. Without the mark, no one will be able to buy or sell ANYTHING. You will be shut out of the economy. You won’t even be able to barter. Because if those who have taken the mark buy more food to trade you for some good you have, the Government will automatically know that someone has purchased more food than their “quota” and investigators will come to demand an official account.
We can see it happening and we can know that it’s coming.
God’s people have known about this for 2,000 years. But the secular humanists, the liberals, the socialists, the Islamic fascists – all who worship a Government State in place of the God of the Bible and His Word – will never see it. And so they will fall right into the most wicked scheme in the world even though that wicked scheme has been described for millennia.
It’s really quite amazing when you think about the blindness, the stupidity and the evil of wicked man.
On the one hand, they loudly and shrilly denounce conservatives from talking about religion and most certainly for actually trying to make their religion part of public policy in any way, shape or form.
“How DARE you?!?!” they declare with über self-righteous indignation and moral outrage. “The separation of church and state is the foundation of our democracy!!!”
Only that’s an outright lie, or course, as is easily proven by reading the words of our founding fathers – including our very greatest founding father who was the father of our country:
What are the foundations of America? After 45 years of public service, George Washington, our greatest patriot and the father of our country, gives his farewell address. He says, ‘We need to remember what brought us here. We need to remember what made us different from all the other nations across Europe and the rest of the world. We have to remember what our foundations are.’ It was the road map, showing us how we’d become what we were, and how to preserve it. It has long been considered the most important address ever given by any US president. President Lincoln set aside an entire day for the entire Union Army and had them read and understand it. Woodrow Wilson did the same during WWI. But we haven’t studied it in schools for over 45 years, so your lack of understanding is understandable. Washington said:
“Of all the habits and dispositions which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” — George Washington, Farewell Address
If you want your politics to prosper, the two things you will not separate will be religion and morality. If you want your government to work well, if you want American exceptionalism, if you want the government to do right, if you want all this, then you won’t separate religion and morality from political life. And America’s greatest patriot gave a litmus test for patriotism. He says in the very next sentence (immediately continuing from the quote above):
“In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars.” — George Washington
Washington says, Anyone who would try to remove religion and morality from public life, I won’t allow them to call themselves a patriot. Because they are trying to destroy the country.
But what is most interesting about liberals isn’t merely their hatred of the morality of religion and their determination to suppress and exterminate religion by essentially banning it from government and from culture.
It is the amazing hypocrisy that they immediately show when they believe they can twist, pervert, distort religion to their side.
As an example, let’s consider what liberals – and I mean the liberals who are most toxic in their rants against the “Christian right” – are doing to subvert Jesus into their political ideology.
Well, I suppose I’d like to ask Jimmy Margulies – since the opinion of Jesus is clearly so important to him – who Jesus would TAX? Who would Jesus regulate? Who would Jesus oppress with government bureaucracy? Who would Jesus, for that matter, sentence to prison on Margulies’ deeply flawed understanding? If Jesus wouldn’t deport anyone, He wouldn’t imprison anyone either, would He? He’d just forgive them and let them go scott free to torture and rape and murder and oppress the rest of us. That’s the Jesus the left loves: the benign Jesus who morally stood for NOTHING but “tolerance.”
“Revised Tea Party Gospel: ‘Suffer the little children come unto me. Unless they’re undocumented kids from Central America,'” tweeted King Tuesday before adding: “Much easier to be a Christian when the little children aren’t in your back yard, isn’t it?” — Stephen King
It turns out that Christian groups – the very people Stephen King is most demonizing – are doing by far and away the MOST work to help these people who are flooding across the border. And they rightly asked the secular humanist progressive liberal turd, “What are YOU doing to help these people???”
Liberals believe in the separation of church and state. Oh, until it suits their purpose NOT to believe in the separation of church and state. To put it more accurately, liberals believe in the separation of church and state for Republicans and conservatives.
Which is why it is always amazing to hear a liberal try to tell you that we should open our arms, surrender our borders, and allow every single “refugee” to come flooding into our country because it’s in the Bible. Where, number one, it is NOT in the Bible, and number two, even if it WERE, it would fundamentally and profoundly contradict your precious “separation of church and state” to do it anyway.
If Stephen King and Jimmy Margulies and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid want a Judeo-Christian theocracy, fine. Let them say so. Let them stand for the stoning of homosexuals and adulterers and forced worship of Christ. But that’s not what they want, is it? No. They want a liberal progressive, secular humanist salad bar where THEY and ONLY THEY get to cherry pick the highly selective parts of the Bible they want to follow after splitting those parts out of their context and warping them.
See, I could actually LIVE in a world where Jesus was taken seriously and obeyed. It’s LIBERALS who would be violently revolting. Because liberals are people who are so toxic to Jesus that they literally put Him in a jar of urine and funded it as “art.”
I ask you, liberal, to produce for me ONE Bible verse that says it is secular government – and not the church’s and not God’s people’s – role to provide welfare. I’m just going to state it categorically until you do, that your worldview is found NOWHERE in the Bible.
When the disciples came to Jesus because there was a crowd of 5,000 men (probably a good 15,000 people) who had nothing to eat, do you know what Jesus did NOT tell them to do? He didn’t tell them to go to King Herod or to Governor Pilate for a government welfare program to feed the poor. He said YOU feed them. And after a little humming and hawing the disciples finally did the right thing: they did their best to put some food together and came to Jesus and asked HIM to bless it.
In 1 Samuel chapter 8, we find that the people, in wanting to be like all the other nations with a human king and a human big government, were rejecting GOD. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you read 1 Samuel 8:7 for yourself? And God warns the people, saying over and over again, when you have your big government king, HE WILL TAKE… HE WILL APPOINT FOR HIMSELF… HE WILL TAKE… HE WILL TAKE… (and redistribute them to his cronies according to 1 Samuel 8:14). HE WILL TAKE (and redistribute them to his cronies according to 1 Samuel 8:15). HE WILL TAKE (and exploit what he takes for his political and ideological projects according to 1 Samuel 8:16). HE WILL TAKE … and you will become HIS servants.
And God will not answer you because you made GOVERNMENT your God and your master.
And that is exactly what liberals have done and exactly what liberals want.
Unless, that is, in their twisted and perverted way, they think they can twist and pervert Jesus into their socialist elf.
But let’s see if that’s an all-encompassing and all-inclusive edict that should apply to illegal immigrants who break our laws to enter our country and consume our resources like locusts when they arrive. Let’s see what God had to say to Israel about how to treat the Jebusite, the Hittite, the Canaanite, the Philistine, etc:
“Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the LORD your God. — Deuteronomy 20:16-18
I wonder if liberals are going to quote that passage to me when it comes with how to deal with illegal immigrants???
Oh, wait, I DON’T wonder. Because liberals are the worst kind of self-serving, dishonest HYPOCRITES who despise the Bible in any kind of actual, legitimate CONTEXT.
God commanded Israel to drive out or destroy these peoples because they were absolutely wicked and depraved. God knew they would corrupt His people with their vile ways. A little leaven leavens the whole loaf. And history proves that Israel collapsed spiritually and morally before they collapsed politically because they failed to carry out God’s command.
God was incredibly patient with these people in their wickedness. In Genesis 15:6, God gave Abraham the land these wicked peoples inhabited. But first Israel would remain in Egypt for four hundred years. Why? God explained, ” In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” When these peoples reached their “full measure” of wickedness, it was time for Israel to come in and take what God had given them.
And America is in a very similar situation as millions of illegal immigrants pour in who do NOT love America, who do NOT want to assimilate, who have NO love for our Constitution, our founding fathers or our ways. And they are subverting everything this nation used to stand for just as the above “immigrants” subverted everything that God intended for Old Testament Israel to stand for.
I state for the factual record that there are a lot more verses like that one regarding “immigrants” in the Bible than there are the kind the liberals cite as categorical commands to allow illegal immigrants to come in and take over our country as Democrats exploit them to “fundamentally transform” America.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
But I’m sure that leftist propagandist Jimmy Margulies would fully agree that Jesus would instruct His followers to “punish your enemies.” And of course Jesus would use the IRS as a political weapon to harass, intimidate, dismantle and persecute – and yes, “punish” – His political opponents, wouldn’t He???
Let me assure you of something: if Hispanic illegal immigrants voted Republican, you would see the rabid, poison-dripping FANGS of Democrats come out in a spirit of rage and hate unlike nothing you’ve ever seen on the faces of Republicans as they went completely poop-flinging nuts over the invasion of our border.
I attend a church that has an English and Hispanic congregation. And I regularly take part in ministry to Hispanics, quite a few of which are here illegally. As a true Christian, I DON’T hate illegal immigrants. I realize as a moral human being that if I were a poor Mexican or Central American living in a completely failed state the way these people are, I would come to America too – either legally or illegally. I recognize that for many illegal immigrants, work is a good thing that they are grateful for. And that they send a lot of the money they earn home to their families. These are virtuous things. What I rabidly despise is a cynical and dishonest liberal ideology that wants to politically benefit from these poor people’s misery and ignorance. I blame the left for its hostility to America as they seek to cynically grab further political advantages by exploiting these people. Liberals are like drunken braggarts in a bar, buying drinks for everyone in order to be popular and then refusing to pay the tab when the bill comes. America cannot afford to continue living so wildly and wickedly beyond our means. We are going to completely economically and socially collapse because of the vile wickedness of Democrats. And then you will see suffering as you have never seen before – suffering that Democrats forced upon the America that they destroyed.
I believe, therefore, that we ought to treat the illegal immigrants who are coming here as human beings. And that we should protect our nation, protect our borders, protect our culture, protect our way of life by controlling our borders and enforcing our laws.
And, like the Christians that Stephen King demonizes, I’ve actually put both my time and my money where my mouth is.
Liberals don’t want to follow God or His ways. They HATE and DESPISE God and His ways. Instead, they want to REPLACE God with their human government and they want to replace God’s ways with the ways of “political correctness” that they can shape and distort and control by first banning God from our discourse and then replacing God’s ways with their ways in the vacuum that they created with their “separation of church and state.”
If you actually follow Jesus and His Word and regard both as your moral authority, fine, you go ahead and quote Jesus and quote the Bible. But when I know and YOU know that you really despise both Jesus and the Word of God, THEN DON’T YOU DARE DISHONOR CHRIST BY SUBVERTING HIS TEACHING WITH YOUR WICKED IDEOLOGY THAT IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE AND FORM ABANDONS HIM.
I tell you what, liberal. Since what you really want is more big government, instead of quoting the Jesus whom you clearly don’t follow, why don’t you quote the sources that actually represent your real belief system? Quote me fellow adherents and proponents of your monster-sized (and frankly monstrous) government system. Quote me Chairman Mao, quote me Joseph Stalin, quote me Adolf Hitler, quote me Kim Jong-Il on illegal immigration. But, oh, that’s right: these people EXTERMINATED immigrants they didn’t like. You’d be completely and utterly long, but at least you’d have the virtue of integrity.
But instead what you do is falsely masquerade behind an artificial Jesus when we both damn well know you don’t follow Jesus and never will. There’d be nearly 57 million more babies born to grow up and come to the feet of Jesus if you believed Him, just for starters.
What liberals really want isn’t Christ, but the Antichrist. They want the ultimate big government tyrant who will viciously persecute the people of God and impose the complete socialist takeover of the world in the economic system known as the “mark of the beast” such that no one can buy or sell ANYTHING without government approval. THAT’S the “Christ” liberals want.
Its been nearly three years since I wrote a long article titled, “Why I Call Obama A Fascist.” And the man has EXPLODED in fascism since I wrote that with his targeting of nearly 300 conservative groups using his thug IRS as a major recent example. He is a firehose of pure fascist evil and you literally cannot keep up with it unless you stay up 24/7 trying to document it all.
But this article isn’t about Obama per se; it’s about the left that Obama is a creature of. It’s about the left that is quintessentially fascist. Which is all-too easy to prove and to document.
In a nutshell, “NAZI” stood for “National Socialist German Workers Party.” The only difference between fascist “national socialism” and “communism” was the fact that one favored “national” socialism while the other demanded “international socialism.” But socialism is socialism. Socialism is always and in every case big government run amok. Socialism is government dictating to the people what to do and how to live and what to think. If there was a National Socialist American Workers Party, is anyone actually fool enough to believe it would be the Republicans or the conservatives??? Because conservatism stands for the ANTITHESIS of socialism: we stand for LIMITED federal government, for individual liberty rather than governmental control, for laissez-faire free markets rather than government taxation and regulation.
Gene Edward Veith makes this point:
“Part of the problem in recognizing fascism is the assumption that it is conservative. [Zeev] Sternhell has observed how study of the ideology has been obscured by “the official Marxist interpretation of fascism.” Marxism defines fascism as its polar opposite. If Marxism is progressive, fascism is conservative. If Marxism is left wing, fascism is right wing. If Marxism champions the proletariat, fascism champions the bourgeoisie. If Marxism is socialist, fascism is capitalist.
The influence of Marxist scholarship has severely distorted our understanding of fascism. Communism and fascism were rival brands of socialism. Whereas Marxist socialism is predicated on an international class struggle, fascist national socialism promoted a socialism centered in national unity. Both communists and fascists opposed the bourgeoisie. Both attacked the conservatives. Both were mass movements, which had special appeal for the intelligentsia, students, and artists, as well as workers. Both favored strong centralized governments and rejected the free economy and the ideals of individual liberty. Fascists saw themselves as being neither of the right nor the left. They believed that they constituted a third force synthesizing the best of both extremes” [Gene Edward Veith, Jr., Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview, p. 26].
Which is to say that you are already a far-leftist socialist – a communist – merely to believe the lie that the communist propaganda put forward about fascism being “right-wing.”
The notion that fascism/and or Nazism is “right-wing” is utter nonsense beyond this: Nazism and fascism are the extreme right of the far, radical LEFT. Socialism is inherently LEFT-WING, not right-wing. The Nazis believed in a fiercely nation-based socialism whereas the communists believed in an international, “workers of the world unite!” brand of socialism. But they BOTH wanted a giant, all-powerful, totalitarian government that is the heart of not the right but the LEFT.
So “fascism” is NOT“right-wing.” The next surprise is that “liberalism” is not “liberal” in any classical understanding of the term.
One of the things the reader must understand is how liberals have perverted the term “liberal” and “liberalism.” Yes, fascism is ideologically the opposite of liberalism; but that is “liberalism” in the CLASSICAL sense of liberalism, rather than what today’s progressive liberals believe and are doing. What is “liberalism” in the classical sense?
In other words, a limited proponent of limited government, free markets, individual liberty. THAT’S a classical liberty. Which is to say that I as a modern conservative am a classical liberal, whereas modern progressive liberals are – you guessed it – fascists. Modern liberals, like the fascists, believe in the OPPOSITE of all these things that classical liberals held and hold the most dear.
As you think about fascism and Nazism (which was merely a particular form of fascist socialism, think about some of the tenants and try to understand how what I am going to document that which is coming from the American left today is genuinely fascist.
Only a couple of months ago there was this gem of rabid fascist intolerance from the left:
A student writer at Harvard University is raising eyebrows after publishing her belief that free speech on campus should be abolished and professors with opposing views be fired.
Sandra Korn, a senior who writes a column for the Harvard Crimson newspaper, thinks radical leftism is the only permissible political philosophy, and the First Amendment only hinders colleges from brainwashing students with her viewpoint.
“Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice,” states the subtitle of her Feb. 18 column, in which she insists Harvard stop guaranteeing students and professors the right to hold controversial views and conduct research putting liberalism in a negative light.
“If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals?” Korn asks.
“It is tempting to decry frustrating restrictions on academic research as violations of academic freedom. Yet I would encourage student and worker organizers to instead use a framework of justice. After all, if we give up our obsessive reliance on the doctrine of academic freedom, we can consider more thoughtfully what is just.”
Korn’s view grabbed the attention of the nation’s top conservative voice, Rush Limbaugh.
“This is not unique. This is not satire. This is not parody,” Limbaugh said on his nationally broadcast radio program Tuesday. “This woman, Sandra Korn, is real, and she’s serious that free speech needs to be abridged because it is threatening liberalism. It means that liberalism cannot hold up to scrutiny. It cannot withstand a challenge. If liberalism were infallible, if liberalism were so powerful and automatic, they would welcome challenges to it – and they would welcome the attempt to persuade and to convert. But instead they’re threatened by it.”
When asked of he thought her belief was going to become a movement, Limbaugh indicated it already was one.
“This is what the left is,” he explained. “Why do you think they want to get rid of this program? Why do you think they want to get rid of Fox News? Why do they want to silence criticism? What is Obama’s modus operandi? Eliminate the opposition. This is already a movement!”
“This woman has just written a column about it at Harvard with what appears to be an extreme view of eliminating the First Amendment as a way of silencing opposition. But she’s very honest. The First Amendment, free speech, ‘threatens liberalism,’ meaning liberalism cannot thrive in an open society. Liberalism is totalitarianism. Liberalism is statism. It is authoritarianism. It is all of the horrible Isms, and it cannot thrive when there is open debate. It cannot survive challenges.”
“Ah, the ‘community organizer force’ is strong with this one,” I’m sure Darth Obama – who held a similar position writing for Harvard – must have mused when he heard this.
The question, “Is this already a movement?” – and not merely an intellectual bowel movement – has been powerfully answered in the few weeks since this article came out from Harvard (the brains of the cockroach that is the leftist organism).
Just days after taking the job, Brendan Eich has resigned as chief executive of Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, after coming under fire for his 2008 support of Proposition 8, the California constitutional amendment that disallowed the marriage of same-sex couples in the state.
Mozilla announced Eich’s resignation Thursday afternoon in a blog post, saying that his hiring did not reflect the organization’s beliefs.
“While painful, the events of the last week show exactly why we need the Web. So all of us can engage freely in the tough conversations we need to make the world better,” Mozilla Chairwoman Mitchell Baker said in a statement. “We need to put our focus back on protecting that Web. And doing so in a way that will make you proud to support Mozilla.”
The organization named Eich CEO last week after operating under an interim CEO for more than a year. Eich had worked at Mozilla for years and was known as the founder of JavaScript, a popular programming language.
But Eich came under sharp criticism for donating $1,000 to a campaign that supported Poropisition 8, Several Mozilla board members resigned to protest his appointment.
Numerous Mozilla staffers also took to Twitter to call for his resignation. One popular online dating site OKCupid displayed a message on its website asking Firefox users to access the Web using a different browser.
“We took the stand because it seemed like the right thing to do,” a spokesman for OKCupid said.
Mozilla said it is still discussing what comes next for its leadership.
This guy Eich was incredibly well qualified to run this company, which he’d helped found. But liberals hold religious purity tests having nothing to do with corporate performance – and Eich was found to be a heretic and blasphemer.
If you ask the question, “Is Sandra Korn running Mozilla?” the answer is, “She might as well be.” Because fascist leftist who are rabidly intolerant of ANY point of view that differs from their own and cannot emotionally or intellectually handle dissent are what they are whether they’re at Harvard or at Mozilla.
Imagine the fallout had a corporation purged a CEO for the death penalty-worthy crime of having exercised his or her freedom to donate to the No on 8 campaign. And said they were doing it out of a spirit of “inclusiveness” and “diversity” (which they would have as much to claim as the opposite side). But for the most part, the propaganda mill that constitutes “journalism” simply ignored this story.
What is rather fascinating is that one particular paragraph in the print article (on page B2 of the LA Times’ Business section) – was purged from the online article that you see here. It immediately follows the “did not reflect the organization’s beliefs” line of crap. Here it is:
“Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness,” Mozilla Chairwoman Michell Baker said in a statement. “Mozilla supports equality for all.”
You can see that statement from Mozilla in broader form here.
What is funny – and I mean laugh-till-you-pee-your-pants-funny – is how these Nazis actually view themselves as “inclusive.” You can understand why the uberleftist LA Times would purge that: it is so obviously self-refuting that it could not stand the light of day and had to be hidden the way ashamed parents would hide a child molesting freak in the basement.
Hell, I still remember when Barack Obama stated the following when he was lying his way to the presidency:
“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. [big audience applause] For me as a Christian it’s also a sacred union, you know, God’s in the mix….I am not somebody who promotes same-sex marriage.” — Barack Obama, Saddleback Church debate moderated by Rick Warren, August 20, 2008
The ONLYreason the left didn’t go after Obama the way they have rabidly gone after everyone who said the same words is that they understood that – being one of them – Barack Obama was a pathological liar who said one think until it was time to say the opposite of the thing he said.
Pathological dishonesty goes hand in hand with pathological fascism.
When “inclusive” means, “If you don’t think exactly like I do, I will destroy you,” you have arrived at the spirit of Orwellianism. And the soul of the left skinny dips in Orwellian anti-thought.
If you are a Democrat, if you are a liberal, you DON’T think. You double-think. You unthink. You anti-think. Which is why you are such a complete moral idiot. And why you have no shame, no honor, no virtue, no integrity of any kind whatsoever.
Sandra Korn was also apparently running the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference – which was (laughably) all about “inclusiveness” too.
Its “safe space policy” promised the event would be “structured around inclusivity … with a focus on representing various perspectives,”according to the event’s official website(feministcampus.org).
Watch how “inclusive” they are the moment they discover “the other” and tell me about that “safe space policy” again. Tell me how this is what “structured around inclusivity” looks like. Tell me that this is what it looks like to have “a focus on representing various perspectives”:
Campus Reform’s Katherine Timpf attended the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference (NYFLC) — an event which promised to be about “inclusivity” and welcoming everyone — only to be told that “conservative” women were not welcome.
Timpf attempted to ask students’ their opinions on feminism, but conference organizers made an announcement advising participants not to talk to Campus Reform because it was a “conservative” outlet.
“You guys aren’t wanted here.”
The organizers also followed Timpf around the conference to interrupt her conversations with students to tell them the same thing.
“They’re a group that’s conservative, so what we are fighting for is not something…” one organizer told a student who was talking with Timpf, prompting the student to walk away.
“You’re just assuming that based on where I work,” Timpf told the organizer.
“Yeah, we are,” the organizer stated.
“You guys aren’t wanted here,” a participant told the reporter after the warning.
“I thought this was supposed to be an inclusive thing, why am I being excluded because of where I work?” Timpf asked another organizer after another interruption.
“Because the place that you work is not inclusive,” the organizer responded.
“You don’t know that,” Timpf said. “You don’t know anything about me or my personal beliefs, I’m just being labeled and excluded based on a label.”
Its “safe space policy” promised the event would be “structured around inclusivity … with a focus on representing various perspectives,” according to the event’s official website.
“We will not tolerate, allow, or encourage behavior which makes folks feel uncomfortable, threatened, or demoralized,” the policy continued.
The NYFLC conference was held March 29-31 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Crystal City, VA.
The Nazis couldn’t have done it any better. One female editorialist described it as “Mean Girls with ugly women.”
But hey, I’m not done yet detailing how the left self-refutes themselves and documents their OWN rabid hypocrisy and intolerance.
Try this bit of “Sandra Korn” at other liberal universities like UC Santa Barbara and Oberlin, which are beginning to impose “trigger warnings” that would allow students to opt out of anything that might harm a liberal mind (you know, like reality or the truth):
The latest attack on academic freedom comes not from government authorities or corporate pressure but from students. At UC Santa Barbara, the student Senate recently passed a resolution that calls for mandatory “trigger warnings” — cautions from professors, to be added to their course syllabi, specifying which days’ lectures will include readings or films or discussions that might trigger feelings of emotional or physical distress.
The resolution calls for warnings if course materials will involve depictions and discussions of rape, sexual assault, suicide, pornography or graphic violence, among other things. The professors would excuse students from those classes, with no points deducted, if the students felt the material would distress them; it is left unclear how students would complete assignments or answer test questions based on the work covered in those classes.
The student resolution is only advisory, a recommendation that campus authorities can turn into policy or reject. They should not only choose the latter course but should explain firmly to students why such a policy would be antithetical to all that college is supposed to provide: a rich and diverse body of study that often requires students to confront difficult or uncomfortable material, and encourages them to discuss such topics openly. Trigger warnings are part of a campus culture that is increasingly overprotective and hypersensitive in its efforts to ensure that no student is ever offended or made to feel uncomfortable…
May I please have my liberal reality inoculation please? Because reality really, really upsets me and I have to be protected from it at all cost. That’s why I went to college where I could swim in a protective ocean where only fascist liberalism is allowed.
The police report regarding UC Santa Barbara Professor Mireille Miller-Young has been released. Miller-Young made news after tearing a sign away from an anti-abortion activist in the university’s Free Speech Zone. Here is the PDF, and here is a rather illuminating quote.
It’s worth a reminder that this professor’s areas of study include “Pornography; Sex Work; Black Film, Popular Culture and Art; Feminist & Queer Theory; African American & African Diaspora Studies,” all of which require confronting potentially upsetting material. So what exactly is the limit on what is permissible on university campuses?
Outside of Santa Barbara, this story is receiving the most attention from conservative outlets. I’m curious to know what mainstream left-of-center outlets think about this.
This post was provoked by Donald Douglas, who writes, “America’s college campuses: literally the most f-ked-up places in the nation.”
So if I’m upset by something, I have the right to employ violence? Only if I’m a liberal. If I’m a conservative, I’m going to get hauled away and prosecuted to the very fullest possible extent of the law just for SAYING that a liberal cockroach doesn’t have a right to be somewhere. That’s the kind of double-standard that also went on as “Germany” became “Nazi Germany.” Only the fascist thugs had the right to beat the hell out of somebody they didn’t like.
The amazing thing is that THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CALL ME A NAZI. And they’re so pathologically dishonest and they’ve so completely deceived even themselves that they actually do it with a straight face.
You wonder how their skulls don’t explode from trying to hold so many massive contradictions, but they manage to pull it off. Because they anti-think when un-thinking or double-thinking fails them. And they are the most rabidly intolerant people that there are – and you literally have to be a full-fledged NAZI to be more rabidly intolerant than these liberals. And it is my observation that liberals are “progressives” who are progressing quite rapidly toward being full-fledged Nazis.
Do you want to know what is interesting? It is that when the Nazis came to Germany, it was these same university professor-types who were the FIRST to knuckle under and collaborate with their Nazi masters:
“Within the system of the concentration camp, something very strange took place. The first to give in, the first to collaborate—to save their lives—were the intellectuals, the liberals, the humanists, the professors of sociology, and the like. Because suddenly their whole concept of the universe broke down. They had nothing to lean on.”
Albert Einstein (a Jew who fled before the Nazis could capture him):
“Having always been an ardent partisan of freedom I turned to the Universities, as soon as the revolution broke out in Germany, to find the Universities took refuge in silence. I then turned to the editors of powerful newspapers, who, but lately in flowing articles, had claimed to be the faithful champions of liberty. These men, as well as the Universities, were reduced to silence in a few weeks. I then addressed myself to the authors individually, to those who passed themselves off as the intellectual guides of Germany, and among whom many had frequently discussed the question of freedom and its place in modern life. They are in turn very dumb. Only the church opposed the fight which Hitler was waging against liberty. Till then I had no interest in the church, but now I feel great admiration and am truly attracted to the church which had the persistent courage to fight for spiritual truth and moral freedom. I feel obliged to confess that I now admire what I used to consider of little value.”
Modern liberalism and those who cling to it had no answers or courage against Nazism. And in fact their philosophies, the values they hold today ARE the same as that of the Nazis they bowed down to when their moment to stand heroically came.
Here’s what you need to know about the university liberals who endlessly lecture us:
Soon after the end of World War II, the Jewish scholar Max Weinreich published Hitler’s Professors: The Part of Scholarship in Germany’s Crimes against the Jewish People. This exhaustive study of the complicity of German intellectuals with the Nazi regime documents how the scholarship of the time provided the intellectual justification and the conceptual framework for the Holocaust. This is not to say that these intellectuals necessarily intended the Holocaust, but, argues Weinreich, it would not have been possible without them. “Did the administer the poison?” he asks, “By no means; they only wrote the prescription.” — Veith, Modern Fascism, p. 79-80
Ask yourself if “Professor” Mireille Miller-Young did far more than “write a prescription” justifying violence.
Weinreich establishes that these many academics who supported Hitler were sophisticated thinkers. Their problem was that the “value-free” assumptions with which they pursued their research resulted in a mendacity inherent in any scholarship that overlooks or openly repudiates all moral and spiritual values. Which is THE same cancerous flaw that modern progressive intellectual liberalism suffers from today.
Now that I have documented the fascism in the left’s behavior, allow me to proceed to develop a new point about the fascism central to the left’s philosophy. Jonah Goldberg, in his great work Liberal Fascism makes this point:
For more than sixty years, liberals have insisted that the bacillus of fascism lies semi-dormant in the bloodstream of the political right. And yet with the notable exception and complicated exceptions of Leo Strauss and Allan Bloom, no top-tier American conservative intellectual was a devotee if Nietzsche or a serious admirer of Heidegger. All major conservative schools of thought trace themselves back to the champions of the Enlightenment – John Locke, Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Burke – and none of them have any direct intellectual link to Nazism or Nietzsche, to existentialism, nihilism, or even, for the most part, Pragmatism. Meanwhile, the ranks of left-wing intellectuals are infested with ideas and thinkers squarely in the fascist tradition. And yet all it takes is the abracadabra word “Marxist” to absolve most of them of any affinity with these currents. The rest get off the hook merely by attacking bourgeois morality and American values – even though such attacks are themselves little better than a reprise of fascist arguments. — pg. 175-176
The left now acknowledges that it is “common knowledge” that Martin Heidegger was a Nazi. But it’s funny that they spent most of the last eighty years denying that “common knowledge.”
The same methods—suppression of evidence, evasions and falsifications—were employed by the legions of Heidegger interpreters and apologists. They were, until the publication of Farias epochal book, largely successful in preventing any critical scrutiny of Heidegger’s ideas and their relation to his politics. An ironic chapter in this enterprise was played out by the deconstruction theorist, Paul De Man. De Man did much to publicize Heidegger among the American intelligentsia in the 1960s. Then there came the posthumous revelation in the late 1980s that De Man’s hands had not exactly been clean. He had been a Nazi collaborator in occupied Belgium during World War II and in that capacity had written some anti-Semitic articles for a Nazi-sponsored literary magazine. After De Man’s war-time essays were published there ensued a lively controversy about the relationship between De Man’s war-time activity and his subsequent ideas on deconstruction.[
And my exploration of the above distortion of Marxist scholarship of fascism and Nazism at the beginning of this article is merely part of that intellectual tradition of deceit. The left “suppressed evidence” and employed tactics of “evasions and falsifications” to conceal the “common knowledge” of their intellectual hero for most of the last century until one courageous scholar finally blew the doors off the lie. And of course then the left instantly proceeded to apologize and rationalize the man’s heart and mind of pure evil. And of course it is pointed out that the left did the exact same thing with ANOTHER hard-core Nazi intellectual hero of the left named Paul de Man. You can goose step down the list of numerous leftist intellectual heroes such as Herbert Marcuse, Frantz Fanon, Georges Sorel, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Carl Schmitt, and others to see the same damn thing. And frankly even documented PROOF of the hatefulness of these men and their ideas – and the CONSEQUENCES of their ideas – don’t matter.
The paragraph that follows the one cited above in Liberal Fascism therefore points out that:
In a seminar there may be important distinctions to be made between, say, Foucault’s “enterprise of Unreason,” Derrida’s tyrannical logocentrism, and Hitler’s “revolt against reason.” But such distinctions rarely translate beyond ivy-covered walls – and they are particularly meaningless to a movement that believes action is more important than ideas. Deconstruction, existentialism, postmodernism, Pragmatism, relativism: all of these ideas had the same purpose – to erode the iron chains of tradition, dissolve the concrete foundations of truth, and firebomb the bunkers where the defenders of the ancien regime still fought and persevered. These were ideologies of the “movement.” The late Richard Rorty admitted as much conflating Nietzsche and Heidegger with James and Dewey as part of the same grand project. — Goldberg, Modern Fascism, p. 176
And it is simply a FACT that all of those intellectual traditions and worldviews are at the very heart of the left and in radical rejection of the Classical Enlightenment foundationalism and Judeo-Christian religious worldview of the right. You can ignore it with your constant exploitation of crisis and demand for action all you want, liberal, but hateful ideas have hateful consequences. And it has been the hateful ideas that you CONTINUE to espouse to this very day that had those hateful consequences that resulted in the gas chambers and the Holocaust of Nazism AND the purges and massacres of MILLIONS of communism.
You OWN it. Even though you are too much of a hypocrite and a liar and frankly a coward to ADMIT that you own it.
One of the primary reasons that the left’s “enterprise of Unreason” (remember how I referred to the left’s “un-thinking” and “anti-thinking” and “double-thinking”?) consistently leads to moral horror boils down to this:
David Hirsch, in his study of Holocaust literature, concludes that one of the most striking characteristics of those who have carried out the exterminations was their inability to have empathy with an “other.” Hans Ebeling criticizes Heidegger in similar terms: “the power of acknowledging the other as the other, as essentially equal, is missing, and for that reason it only remains to oppress the other without any leniency.” Since existentialism focuses upon the individual consciousness, “the other” is necessarily minimized. — Veith, Modern Fascism, p. 103
At thus I reintroduce the demonization and purging of Brendan Eich for no other reason than that he gave a small financial contribution to a view of marriage that Barack Obama was HIMSELF hypocritically and dishonestly claiming at the time. Because it is the NATURE of the left – particularly the “intellectual” left – to lie without shame and cover up the truth and to suppress and to evade and to falsify the FACTS.
It ought to go without saying that if a more conservative-friendly corporation’s CEO had been found to have donated $1,000 to the “No on 8” campaign – as I’m frankly sure many have – he would still be there. Because unlike the left we value intellectual freedom.
So when Barack Hussein Obama routinely demonizes “the other” – that is absolutely everybody who doesn’t think exactly like he does – it’s what they call in golf “par for the course.” It’s who he is and what he does because the man is a fascist who has acted like a fascist his entire adult life as a “community agitator” and who very much THINKS like a fascist.
A lot of times folks would prefer the devil they know to the devil they don’t. But this law is doing what it’s supposed to do. It’s working. It’s helping people from coast to coast, all of which makes the lengths to which critics have gone to scare people or undermine the law, or try to repeal the law without offering any plausible alternative so hard to understand. I’ve got to admit, I don’t get it. Why are folks working so hard for people not to have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of folks having health insurance?
The Big Lie is how Obama has governed. It is his ONLY “leadership technique.” And because he kept repeating the same lies his Big Lie governance literally got him elected and re-elected.
Find ONE Republican who would say he or she is opposed to ObamaCare because – and I quote Obama’s lie from hell here – “I don’t want people to have health insurance.” Just find ONE Republican who has said, “I’m mad about the idea of folks having health insurance.”
Obama has ALWAYS hated and demonized “the other” while maintaining the exact same hatred for the truth and willingness to engage in the “suppression of evidence, evasions and falsifications” that I cite as at the heart of the fascist intellectual tradition above.
Tell you what: I challenge any liberal to a “hate contest.” It’s Bush hate vs. Obama hate. If I can find more examples of Obama demonizing Republicans than you can find of Bush demonizing Democrats, I get to use you as proof – with your consent no less – that all Democrats are Nazi liars who participate in Obama’s campaign of hate against “the other.”
Obama does to Republicans what Hitler did to Jews on a nearly a daily basis.
I’ve been saying it and saying it. The beast is coming, the Antichrist from the Bible. He will be the ULTIMATE Democrat in that he will be the ultimate big government totalitarian who creates the State in place of God and demands worship in place of God. He will do what Democrats have tried to do and he will succeed in completely taking over the economy such that no man or woman may buy or sell without his stamp of approval (a.k.a. the mark of the beast).
Nazism didn’t just fly out of nowhere. It took DECADES for the evil in the German spirit to metastasize to the point where they were willing to murder six million Jews and five million other helpless human beings in their government extermination center.
It was from the minds of thinkers whom the American left still adores and follows today – thinkers such as Nietzsche and Heidegger and Derrida – from which the thought process that led to the death camps and the gas chambers and the ovens.
And Obama has taken that liberal descent into true fascism that will ultimately have the ugliest and darkest consequences a giant step forward.
And of course it’s nothing new when a mob of black liberals (blacks voting so overwhelmingly Democrat that to be black IS to vote Democrat) beat a white man into a coma. So it shouldn’t be any surprise whatsoever that blacks – who are fascist because they are liberals – would beat yet another white man into a coma for the crime of being white.
