America- Changing Before Our Very Eyes. But, Fear Not

Editorial; October 2013; I sleep just fine at night.

This World is not Our Home, We're Just-a-passin' Through

When I hear liberals who voted for Obama (hard to find anyone who will actually admit it anymore) whine and excuse themselves by saying, "Well, I didn't know he was going to _____...", I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

Everyone had a chance to predict what a socialist would do, but only half the country took the opportunity to properly predict Obama's actions by voting no. The other half? Not so much.

Socialists, communists and statists will always seek more power, while a saboteur like Obama goes even further by seeking actions of the most destruction, reserving the most damage for the final months of his control. With the media's willing collusion, Obama is systematically destroying America, while judges, military leaders, police commanders and all others who might actually be instructed to fire on and imprison their neighbors watch it happen; hoping that they can retire or otherwise vacate their office before it happens.

There are Three Stooges scenes that remind me of Obama's actions. One stands out among the others as a perfect alegory to Obama's playbook. Moe open-slaps Curly real hard on the right cheek. When Curly's eyes clear up and his ears stop ringing, he looks back at Moe and cries, "Why did you do that!?" Moe looks him right in the face and says, "Do what?"

Moe is Obama. Mobama.

Mobama keeps slapping us and slapping us. He never has to say why he's doing it. He can deny, change the subject, even use the most confusing and illogical explanations, like, "You slapped yourself." He gets away with it because nobody with the microphone is asking why. Mobama's bosses just sit and watch it all happen.

This will continue until an adult in the room stands up and says, "Enough!"

We need some more Scott Walkers and Sarah Palins who have vowed to stand in the gap; Rand Paul and others already in office who have proven that they have what it takes to put others' before their career.

We may never again see pre Obama and Clinton America. But, the least we can do is not give up.

If a complete reset is in order, then one has to reach further back for an American template to follow than the Bill Clinton era of debacles. One needs to reach all the way back prior to The New Deal of FDR. Because America needs to know what it is like to live under a governmental rule that respects and supports the Rule of law. Every American alive today knows only the treason of a lawless government.

My generation and the rest of the overlapping generations of "Baby-Boomers" have always took for granted American patriotism. We remember family members and national heroes who did hard things during war time and The Great Depression. We can only look back to those heroes because there are no heroes now, according to our press corps.

Black is called white and white is called black. Liars are hailed for their forward thinking while those who defend the Rule of law and our U.S. Constitution are called anarchists and saboteurs. When one calls out Obama for his lies, deceit and America-hating reforms that harm American families including military patriots and families who are paying and have paid the ultimate sacrifice, they are called racists.

Without people who can and will stand in the gap against these domestic enemies, America has no hope. Everything rises and falls on leadership. The citizen can not save this country without leaders.

Who will stand up for America in this crises? Who is hiding? Who is it that will be pointed to and acclaimed as the one who is here for such a time as this?

Meanwhile, Jesus is having the trumpet shined and placed in position by the warrior angel who gets to sound His return.

Know this; you who hate America enough to support Obama and his minions, are helping him prepare this country for the end times. And then, you can proudly look around you and say, "I built this."

Governor Scott Walker stands up to National Park Service

The National Park Service, in direct violation of the Constitution, tried to tell Wisconsin to close state parks in Kettle Moraine State ForestDevil’s Lake State Park and Wisconsin’s oldest park, Interstate Park. There are a few other locations, but none of the state areas will be closed.
their drive to punish Americans for the Washington politics meltdown. When the order came down, unlike other state governments, Scott Walker put his foot down. The parks the NPS wanted shut down was
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Cathy Step has spoken on the issue. “After close review and legal consult, DNR has clarified areas where the federal procedures are over-reaching by ordering the closure of properties where the state has management authority through existing agreements.”
In a press release, the DNR official stance is while the federal government shutdown has closed federal properties in Wisconsin, such as the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and some national wildlife refuges, and improved campgrounds and other buildings in the Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forests, all state, county and local recreational areas remain open in Wisconsin.
The DNR has also been removing barricades wherever the NPS has illegally put them up.

"Unbiased Media" Openly Slamming Tea Party

MRC Study: Even Before Shutdown, Networks Dumped Most Blame on Conservatives

On Monday morning, Time/MSNBC political analyst Mark Halperin explained an obvious political reality to his fellow Morning Joe panelists: “The White House does not have much incentive” to negotiate on the government shutdown, because Democrats expect the liberal news media to hand them a public relations victory. As Halperin put it: “The press is largely sympathetic to their arguments that it’s the House Republicans’ fault.” 

In fact, as a new Media Research Center analysis of broadcast network evening news coverage shows, ABC, CBS and NBC spent the two weeks prior to the shutdown almost universally pinning the blame on congressional Republicans, especially conservative/Tea Party House Republicans. By the time the shutdown actually took place on October 1, news audiences had been repeatedly instructed to think about it as a GOP-generated crisis.



From September 17 through September 30, the Big Three evening newscasts ran a total of 39 stories about the possibility of a government shutdown. Our MRC analysts found that a majority of those stories (21) were framed around the idea of Republicans triggering the crisis, compared to four that blamed both sides and absolutely none that put the onus on Democrats’ failure to negotiate. (The remaining 14 stories did not include discussion of blame.)

As explained by network news correspondents, the responsibility for the deadlock lies with Republicans for failing to put aside their opposition to ObamaCare. Talking about the initial House Republican decision to seek defunding of the health care law, CBS Evening News correspondent Nancy Cordes on September 18 said “Speaker Boehner was forced into the risky strategy by his right flank...[a strategy] one Senate Republican described to us today as suicide.”


Two days later, NBC’s Brian Williams argued that “the wheels were set in motion” toward a potential shutdown after “Republicans in the House passed a bill that would keep the government going while killing ObamaCare.” A week later, on the September 27Nightly News, NBC’s David Gregory zeroed in on “a relatively small group of legislators, you have Tea Party conservatives in the House who don’t want to give up on this ObamaCare defunding fight.”

By Sunday, September 29, after Harry Reid’s Senate had killed the proposal to cut off ObamaCare funding, the networks characterized the much-milder demand for a one-year delay as too radical to consider. According to NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell that night, “Tea Party conservatives held to their risky demand,” while on CBS, Nancy Cordes argued that “House Speaker John Boehner had hoped to dial back this fight, but was urged to press on by conservative Tea Party members.”

The next night, after Republicans had retreated to an even-milder proposal to delay just the individual mandate (the President himself, in July, had ordered such a delay for the mandate on businesses), ABC’s Diane Sawyer presented Obama’s characterization of the situation as reality: “The President expressed outrage that one faction in one House of Congress is ready to bring the entire federal government to a halt.”

But Sawyer’s hyperbole about “the entire federal government” coming to a halt was contradicted by her own correspondent, Jonathan Karl, a few minutes later: “Not everything gets shut down. Troops will continue to get paid, Social Security checks will continue to go out.”

Meanwhile, on that night’s CBS Evening NewsFace the Nation host Bob Schieffer framed it as a crisis caused by “ultra-conservatives.” According to Schieffer, the question was “will the moderate and more establishment Republicans continue to go along with the ultra-conservatives?...We’re headed to a shutdown unless the moderates in the House revolt.”

As for the rare story that blamed both sides, ABC’s Karl on the September 26 World Newsjuxtaposed Republicans’ “laundry list of demands” with a White House that “has decided not to try” to strike a deal. “Instead of negotiating, they are name calling,” Karl reported. “Today, one of the President’s top aides said of Republicans, quote, ‘What we’re not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest.’”

In a White House briefing on Monday, CNN’s Jim Acosta actually confronted spokesman Jay Carney about the tactic of seeming to “taunt Republicans” rather than exploring the potential for a constructive dialogue.

Acosta told Carney: “In the last couple of weeks, Democrats, including the President, have
— and he has not used all of these words, but I’ll throw out some of them that have been used — have referred to Republicans as ‘arsonists,’ ‘anarchists,’ ‘extortionists,’ ‘blackmailers,’ ‘hostage-takers.’...It almost sounds as if this White House is trying to taunt Republicans into shutting the government down.”

If Democratic congressmen, or a Democratic Speaker of the House, pursuing a liberal policy objective, was subjected to similar ridicule or insults from a Republican President or a Republican Senate Majority Leader, you can bet that the networks would have made such language the centerpiece of their coverage.

Instead, the media have chosen to foist all of the blame on conservatives for sticking to their promise to oppose ObamaCare.

Children and American War Heroes; Obama's Chosen Enemies

Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership

One can tell everything about a man by his actions, his friends and who he chooses as enemies.

In the case of Barrack Hussein Obama, his chosen enemies are WWII Veterans and children. In the last government shut down, it was scheduled White House tours for school kids that Obama specifically chose to cancel, and then denied it.

In the current shut down, it was World War II veterans he chose to alienate when he purposefully and  physically blockaded them from their war memorial.


Just waiting for the denial to make everything complete.

Who is to Blame for the Gov't Shut Down?

The TruthlessMedia and the rest of the leftists are accusing the Tea Party Republicans of the government shutdown; a tactic that they were hoping to use this week. But, the facts and recent congressional history say otherwise. The Right Compromised 4 times. The Left, 0.

COMPROMISES
Republicans 4     --     Democrats 0

Time Line of Continuing Resolution Debate:
Friday, 9/20/13 - The House of Representatives passed a Continuing Resolution that would fully fund the government (including things that Republicans don't like) while at the same time defunding Obamacare.
Result: House Republicans compromised on spending that we'd like to see cut in exchange for defunding Obamacare.

Friday, 9/27/13 - The Senate stripped the defunding language out of the House passed Continuing Resolution and sent it back to the House.
Result: Harry Reid and Senate Democrats refused to compromise.

Saturday, 9/28/13 - The House of Representatives added two amendments to the Senate revised Continuing Resolution to delay Obamacare for one year (far from what we were originally willing to agree to) and repeal the medical device tax.
Result: House Republicans compromised away from defunding to delaying Obamacare for one year.

Monday, 9/30/13 - The Senate stripped the two amendments from the House passed Continuing Resolution and sent it back to the House.
Result: Harry Reid and Senate Democrats refuse to compromise one inch on Obamacare.

Monday, 9/30/13 - The House of Representatives responded by adding language to the Continuing Resolution to delay the individual mandate for a year and to take away the health care subsidies Members of Congress and their staffs received from the Office of Personnel Management ruling earlier this year.
Result: House Republicans compromised away from delaying Obamacare for one year to delaying the individual mandate for a year and requiring that Congress live under Obamacare just like the rest of the American people.

Monday, 9/30/13 - The Senate voted to table the House passed continuing resolution.
Result: Harry Reid and Senate Democrats refused to compromise.

Monday, 9/30/13 - The House appointed conferees and sent a message to the Senate requesting a conference meeting to resolve their differences.
Result: House Republicans were still willing to compromise and reach a solution.

Tuesday, 10/1/13 - Midnight - No Deal is reach and a temporary shut down begins.

Tuesday, 10/1/13 - The Senate votes to table the House's request for a conference to resolve differences.
Result: Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats refused to compromise.
