The above Youtube is an excerpt of Obama’s commencement address at Ohio State on May 5, just days before the IRS and AP scandals broke. The cynicism and hypocrisy of his words are truly epic. Obama is all about tyranny and all about a sinister big government that is hell-bent on using our tax dollars to take away our freedoms. If you can’t stand the sound of Dear Leader’s voice, here is the transcript of what he said.
Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.
Now this is straight from the White House. “The Law Is Irrelevant”
For anyone who took the time to watch the Eric Holder and/or IRS hearings this week, the corruption, incompetence and arrogance of the ruling parasite elite class was on full display. Eric Holder and Steven Miller, chief executives of the Department of Injustice and the IRS respectively, testified before Congress as to their utter cluelessness and unaccountability of the nefarious goings on in the powerful agencies that they run. Steven Miller’s testimony was by far the most interesting. He testified to Congress that IRS persecution of groups of people of a particular political view is not illegal. He further testified that questioning individuals as to the subject matter of their prayers was not improper. When asked “what would make a difference in ending the unlawful practices of the IRS?”, Miller stated that he simply needed a bigger budget. Unbelievable stuff. Holder’s testimony was not nearly as entertaining. He simply testified that he either didn’t know or couldn’t remember anything about anything that was asked of him. Both of these bureaucrats made it perfectly clear that they are above the law and are not accountable to you commoners. In fact, Steven Miller wants you to know that he views us taxpaying bumpkins as his “customers”. EXCUSE ME, ASSHOLE! I AM NOT YOUR CUSTOMER! YOU WORK FOR ME AND I’M THE ONE WHO PAYS YOUR SALARY!
We need to have every cabinet secretary testify before Congress and explain their relevance and reason for existence. The former EPA Secretary needs to explain how she used bogus emails to circumvent Freedom of Information inquiries. The Department of Energy does not produce or create energy yet its 2013 budget is $27 Billion. The Department of Education does not produce or create education yet its 2013 budget is $68.9 Billion. Those 2 departments do nothing but create onerous regulations and indoctrinate socialist dogma into our youth. They should both be abolished. BTW, whatever happened to Hot Tub Bub of the GSA?
Here we go! Enforcement of the monstrosity known as Obamacare falls primarily to the IRS. The IRS is expected to hire 16,000 (at a cost of $5 to $10 billion) enforcement agents to ensure that you are in compliance with Obamacare. A vision of Dawg Teh Bounty Hunter kicking down my door and demanding my “papers” just flashed before my eyes. At any rate, GOP Congressmen just filed a bill which would block the IRS from enforcing Obamacare.
In the wake of IRS admission that it targeted tea party and conservative organizations, Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to block the agency from implementing ObamaCare. Under current law, the IRS is tasked with collecting billions in new taxes, designing rules for subsidies and tax credits and enforcing the individual mandate. The new legislation would block what one member described as IRS “bullying.”
Legislation introduced by GA Rep. Tom Price would block the IRS from implementing or enforcing any part of the ObamaCare law. ”When it comes to an individual’s personal health care decisions, no American should be required to answer to the IRS — an agency that just forfeited its claim to a reputation of impartiality,” Price told The Hill. “It has always been an untenable and unacceptable scenario, and we ought to take this common sense step to take the IRS out of healthcare.
Separate legislation filed by VA Rep. Randy Forbes would prevent the IRS from hiring the estimated 18,000 new agents it needs to enforce the health care law. ”The IRS would be better to police its own than to police the millions of Americans who believe this healthcare law to be bad for their families and bad for our businesses,” Forbes said. NV Sen. Dean Heller is working on similar legislation in the Senate.
The unfolding IRS scandal shows an agency taken over with a political agenda. The repercussions of IRS action in these events was somewhat limited, though, because it only impacted organizations seeking non-profit, tax-exempt status. Unless current law is changed, the agency will have greater powers over the lives of every American. Under this Administration, the IRS can’t be trusted to keep political calculations out of their work. So, it should be kept out of ours.
The wave of shootings in Chicago continued unabated with 23 people shot (2 fatally) over the Easter weekend. I would speculate that at least 99% of those shootings were criminal acts committed by gangbangers illegally in possession of firearms. As you scroll through the list of mayhem, something obvious leaps out you; There is not one mention of an arrest:
◆ About 9:15 p.m. in the 2400 block of South Troy, a male, whose age was not immediately available, was shot multiple times, police said. He was taken to St. Anthony Hospital. His condition was not immediately known.
◆ About 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a 21-year-old man was shot about in his stomach in the 1700 block of North Lockwood in the Austin neighborhood, police said. The man was taken to Stroger Hospital.
◆ About 6 a.m. Sunday, a 40-year-oldman was shot in the arm in the 4300 block of North Elston, police said. He was listed in good condition at Swedish Covenent Hospital on Sunday morning.
◆ About 2:30 a.m. Sunday, three men were shot in the 2000 block of West 68th Place. One of the men was found at the scene with a gunshot wound in his leg. He was listed in good condition on Sunday morning. The other men were located when police pulled over two vehicles that had fled the area. Officers pulled over a Buick LeSabre several blocks from the shooting and found a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds in his leg and face, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Hospital. Police found the third man when they pulled over a van near the scene of the shooting. A 20-year old man in the van had a bullet graze wound in his head but he refused medical help, police said. No arrests were made.
◆ About 2:15 a.m. Sunday, a 33-year-old man walked into Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound in his arm. He told police he was outside the United Center when he heard a gunshot and felt pain. He was listed in good condition Sunday at the hospital.
◆ About 1:45 a.m. Sunday, a 28-year-old man was shot in the leg when he answered the front door of his home in the 2000 block of West Randolph, police said.
◆ Early Sunday, a 35-year-old man was shot in the leg in the 2000 block of West Maypole.
Buying a gun in Cook County officially became more expensive this week.
A new $25 tax on every gun purchased in the county took effect Monday as part of County Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s plan to pay for the violence she says crowds jails and drives up health care costs.
“Gun violence is a real problem for us,” Preckwinkle said when she proposed the tax in October. “It’s a problem for us in our criminal justice system and it’s a problem for us in our health care system, and I make no apologies for the proposal.”
The proposed gun tax is expected to bring in an estimated $600,000 in revenue.
The proposal followed a violent summer in Chicago where multiple people were killed and dozens injured each weekend in shootings. The city’s murder rate was up 25 percent, and the Cook County Jail was near capacity with 9,000-plus inmates.
Funny thing about that “all” concept. I suspect that most of the guns being bought in Cook County (Chicago) are being acquired by criminals who might not pay that $25 tax.
When many Obamunist voters got their first paychecks of the new year, they were shocked to find that that the Social Security withholding just “went up” and their checks are noticeably smaller. The truth is that the withholding didn’t actually go up. It was simply reinstated to the same rate that it was in 2009 when Obama declared a payroll deduction “holiday” which temporarily dropped the rate from 6.2% to 4.2%. So… the party’s over. Meet the new tax, same as the old tax, SUCKAS. That’s what they get for being low information voters. Obama baited the hook, MSM cast the line and the free stuff morons gobbled it up hook, line and sinker. Now that reality has taken a bite out of their paychecks, the Obamabots are not happy. Joseph Curl of The Washington Times visited a few lib blog sites and shares some of their lamentations:
“What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”
“I know to expect between $93 and $94 less in my paycheck on the 15th,” wrote the ironically named “RomneyLies.”
“My boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didn’t help,” wrote “DemocratToTheEnd.”
“BlueIndyBlue” added: “Many of my friends didn’t realize it, either. Our payroll department didn’t do a good job of explaining the coming changes.”
“My paycheck just went down. So did my wife’s. This hurts us. But everybody says it’s a good thing, so I guess we just suck it up and get used to it. I call it a tax increase on the middle class. I wonder what they call it. Somebody on this thread called it a ‘premium.’ Nope. It’s a tax, and it just went up.”
“Really, how am I ever supposed to pay off my student loans if my already small paycheck keeps getting smaller? Help a sister out, Obama,” wrote “Meet Virginia.”
“Nancy Thongkham” wrote “F***ing Obama! F*** you! This taking out more taxes s*** better f***ing help me out!! Very upset to see my paycheck less today!”
“_Alex™” sounded bummed. “Obama I did not vote for you so you can take away alot of money from my checks.” Christian Dixon seemed crestfallen. “I’m starting to regret voting for Obama.” But “Dave” got his dander up over the tax hike: “Obama is the biggest f***ing liar in the world. Why the f*** did I vote for him”?
Lisa Jackson will resign as head of the EPA. The article doesn’t say when, but today would not be soon enough. This woman, at the behest of Obama, has done more to kill jobs, increase the cost of energy and “crucify” free enterprise than just about any bureaucrat in the history of bureaucrats. You can rest assured that her replacement will be be a global warm monger as both Obama, and Secretary of State designate John Kerry, have said that more global warming initiatives are of primary importance to them.
Michigan’s State Legislature and State Senate passed right-to-work measures by a vote of 58-52 in the House and 22-16 in the State Senate. Some form of the measure is expected to be passed by Republican Rick Snyder as soon as the completed version reaches his desk.
Following the Michigan House’s lead, the state Senate passed right-to-work measures on Thursday evening — just hours after Gov. Rick Snyder and top GOP Republicansannounced the bills.
Despite impassioned debate from Senate Democrats, the measure passed on a 22-16 vote. According to the Associated Press, four Republican state senators joined all 12 of their Democratic counterparts in opposition to the right-to-work bill. It passed the Michigan House by a vote of 58-52 earlier in the evening. During the House vote, Democrats walked off the floor in protest after at least eight protesters were arrested, crowds were pepper-sprayed and the Capitol building locked down.
The House and Senate bills are two of three separate right-to-work bills currently up for vote that will eventually be consolidated into two bills, according to the Detroit Free Press. Both the bills passed by the House and Senate pertain to private-sector employees.
Union activists who denounced the bill’s hasty progress through the Michigan legislature booed GOP lawmakers and cheered on Democrats who took to the floor to rail against what they called an anti-union agenda. Sen. Bert Johnson D-Detroit occupied the Senate floor for over an hour in protest.
“Look at the people you’ve locked out,” Johnson said. “They are not here today for the lack of something to do. … They are here because you, Mr. President, are attacking their ability to earn a living.”
On Thursday, Snyder reversed his earlier stance of discouraging Republicans from pushing for right-to-work laws and said he would support the bills.
According to the Associated Press, the legislation will likely be enacted next week.
Strange days indeed when PRAVDA, formerly the mouthpiece of the Soviet communists, makes some very true observations about the current state of the American Electorate and the communist that they re-elected as president. If I recall correctly, our GOP candidate, as well as the upper echelon GOP apparatchiks, refused to even suggest that Obama might be a socialist.
Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way.
Putin said regarding the military, “…instead of solving the problem, militarization pushes it to a deeper level. It draws away from the economy immense financial and material resources, which could have been used much more efficiently elsewhere.”
Well, any normal individual understands that as true but liberalism is a psychosis . O’bomber even keeps the war going along the Mexican border with projects like “fast and furious” and there is still no sign of ending it. He is a Communist without question promoting the Communist Manifesto without calling it so. How shrewd he is in America. His cult of personality mesmerizes those who cannot go beyond their ignorance. They will continue to follow him like those fools who still praise Lenin and Stalin in Russia. Obama’s fools and Stalin’s fools share the same drink of illusion.
[...]
President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America don’t they? Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised thus paving the way for their Communist presidents. Obama has bailed out those businesses that voted for him and increased the debt to over 16 trillion with an ever increasing unemployment rate especially among blacks and other minorities. All the while promoting his agenda.
“We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilization. Honesty and hard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success.”- Vladimir Putin

Russia lost its’ civil war with the Reds and millions suffered torture and death for almost 75 years under the tyranny of the United Soviet Socialist Republic. Russians survived with a new and stronger faith in God and ever growing Christian Church. The question is how long will the once “Land of the Free” remain the United Socialist States of America? Their suffering has only begun. Bye bye Miss American Pie! You know the song you hippies. Sing it! Don’t you remember? The 1971 hit song by American song writer Don McLean:
“And, as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in Hell could break that Satan’s spell
And, as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite, I saw…
Satan laughing with delight the day the music died
Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel of The Daily Caller have an excellent article today entitled “Wave Goodbye to the Obama Media”. Carlson and Patel opine that by the next election cycle what we now know as the “mainstream” media will be largely gone, replaced by the new internet media. MSM have selected themselves for extinction by their own dishonesty and slavish devotion to the false prophet of a false ideology. The thugacracy currently occupying the White House is exactly the sort of regime that a free and independent press was supposed to guard against and protect us from. In modern history we have seen instances in which the press has been subverted and co-opted by totalitarian regimes, but in those cases the press was beaten into submission under threat of the noose or gulag. That obviously is not what happened to the American press. They willfully and lovingly became Obama’s concubines without any coercion whatsoever. The fact that we now have a President Obama is Exhibit “A” to MSM’s duplicity in electing a man with no experience, no accomplishments and seemingly no past. In doing so they have truly betrayed the trust of the American public. As Pat Caddell said, “Media have become the enemy of the American People”.
By tomorrow night we’ll likely know the name of the next president. But we already know the loser in this election cycle: political reporters. They’ve disgraced themselves. Conservatives have long complained about liberal bias in the media, and with some justification. But it has finally reached the tipping point. Not in our lifetimes have so many in the press dropped the pretense of objectivity in order to help a political candidate. The media are rooting for Barack Obama. They’re not hiding it.
Consider Benghazi. An American consulate is destroyed and a US ambassador murdered at a time when the president is boasting at every campaign stop that he has crushed al-Qaida. In an effort not to disrupt this narrative, the White House and the Obama campaign spend weeks claiming the incident was merely a protest over a video, rather than a real terror attack. Then intelligence surfaces showing just the opposite: The killers in Benghazi were no street mob, and Obama knew as much from the beginning.
Imagine if George W. Bush, or even Bill Clinton, had tried something like this during a re-election campaign. The howls from journalists would have been deafening, and unceasing. Instead, Obama has enjoyed every benefit of every doubt from the press every step of the way. Candy Crowley even broke character in the middle of a presidential debate to defend him. From their retirement, former presidents must be looking on in envious bewilderment.
[…]
Last month we found previously unseen video of then-Senator Barack Obama accusing the U.S. government of racism in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Even before our story appeared, liberal reporters tried to minimize and discredit it. Sam Feist, the Washington bureau chief at CNN, even boasted that his network had had possession of the tape for years, apparently unaware that some might wonder why they had never aired it.
We could go on. The point is that many in the press are every bit as corrupt as conservatives have accused them of being. The good news is, it’s almost over. The broadcast networks, the big daily newspapers, the newsweeklies — they’re done. It’s only a matter of time, and everyone who works there knows it. That may be why so many of them seem tapped out, lazy and enervated, unwilling to stray from the same tired story lines. Some days they seem engaged only on Twitter, where they spend hours preening for one another and sneering at outsiders.
By the next presidential cycle most of these people will be gone. They’ll have moved on to academia or think tanks or Democratic senate campaigns, or wherever aging hacks go when their union contracts finally, inevitably get voided. They’ll be replaced by a vibrant digital marketplace filled with hungry young reporters who care more about breaking stories than maintaining access to some politician or regulator.
All of this was probably inevitable, but it came faster than expected. Through their dishonesty the legacy media hastened their own end. Their moral authority has evaporated. So has their business model. Wave them goodbye on the way out.
When your options are reduced to, starve or die of thirst, or take by force from someone else, things absolutely will get violent, and they can and will do so with a blinding speed. Blaming those who live in the big cities is a fools games of self aggrandizing arrogance. The basic equation of self preservation crosses all geographical boundaries. People move to the big cities and live there, because that’s where, in good times, the money is. It’s where all of the positive benefits of a technologically advanced industrial civilization are to be found. Hospitals, schools, consumer goods.
There is a lot to be said on the positive side for living in a big city. When wisely and carefully administrated they are great places to live. But they are like living on one of the Hawaiian Islands or in the shadow of one of the earths great volcano’s, Washington State has Mount Rainer while Rome has Mount Vesuvius. They are really nice places to live, but they are also ticking time bombs just waiting to one day explode without any warning. The East Coast of the United States is in a very similar situation. From the the Gulf of Mexico up to New York City and even further north their is always a very real even if remote possibility that a incredibly powerful hurricane will come roaring up the coast removing every trace of human habitation.
As I said, I live in Southern California, where we pretty much always face the possibility that an major earthquake might send us in a matter of minuets from being a beautiful highly populated paradise, to a stone-age culture fighting for survival. Which brings us back to another early statement of mine, why I chose to move out to the countryside. When I was looking into the collapse of the Mayan Civilization I came across another Mezzo-American civilization that experienced a very similar collapse. They were the Anasazi, The ancestral Puebloans were a prehistoric Native American civilization centered around the present-day Four Corners area of the Southwest United States. They like the Mayans built a very sophisticated and complex culture centering around, basically big cities.
Both the Mayan and Anasazi civilizations collapsed when, after hundreds of years of centralizing their populations in large cities, something happened that disrupted the basic essential services required to make those cities inhabitable. Something that all of their best advanced planning was unable to compensate for. It’s going to take a lot more than what brought down the Mayan or Anasazi civilizations to bring down America. But that doesn’t mean that America isn’t susceptible to collapse.
[...]
When the basic essential resources required for survival become sufficiently scarce people will do whatever is required to secure those resources. There will also inevitably be those who see the disruption and ensuing chaos as opportunity to obtain material wealth through theft and or acts of violence. Parts of New Jersey and New York are experiencing exactly this right now.
This is where the mendacious malfeasance of the Fifth Column Treasonous Media comes into this article. What is happening in various parts of New Jersey and New York is unnecessarily happening. It is happening because the Fifth Column Treasonous Media has placed their own political ideological need to manipulate the 2012 Presidential Election and keep their Marxist fellow Traveler Barack Insane Obama in office ahead of needs of the People of the United States of America, specifically those who are suffering the ravages of Hurricane Sandy.
Just as the Fifth Column Treasonous Media intentionally played the role of the corrupt gatekeeper and kept the truth about Operation Fast and Furious and Benghazi from the American people so are they now likewise keeping the truth about the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy from the American people. They are doing so for one single solitary reason, to protect Barack Insane Obama from the consequences of his actions with regard to each of these horrific situations. If the American people knew exactly what role Barack Obama either played, or failed to play in these tragedies, then on Nov. 6th 2012 Barack Obama would lose his reelection bid in the most lopsided landslide in American history. The Fifth Column Treasonous Media is 100 percent fully aware of this and have made the decision with a the foreknowledge and malice of intent to deceive the American people in order to protect Obama.
The old rule that you need job growth of 150,000 to keep up with population growth and 250,000 jobs per month to lower the unemployment rate has been thrown out the window. The miraculous Obama Boom is rewriting the old rules applying to job growth. Only 114,000 jobs were created in the month of September, yet the unemployment rate fell to 7.8%. The drop in unemployment is due to the Household survey, which claims that there were 873,000 more Americans working in September.
Job growth remained tame in September, with the economy creating just 114,000 net new positions though the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent, the first time it has been below 8 percent in 43 months.
The report presented a slew of contradictory data points, with the total employment level soaring despite the low net number.
The falling jobless rate had been a function as much of the continued shrinking in the labor force as it was an increase in new positions.
But the government said the total number of jobs employed surged by 873,000, the highest one-month jump in 29 years. The total of unemployed people tumbled by 456,000.
The labor force participation rate, which reflects those working as well as looking for work, edged higher to 63.6 percent but remained around 30-year lows. The total labor force grew by 418,000, possibly accounting for the relatively modest net level of job growth.
[....]
The level of part-time workers reported the largest jump for the month, gaining 582,000.
The U-6 unemployment number, which accounts for the underemployed and those who have given up looking for jobs, held steady at 14.7 percent.
The U6 number which shows the real unemployment rate at 14.7% is unchanged. The truth of these facts will not matter. All the Obama Regime will crow is the phony 7.8% number. After getting his clock cleaned Wednesday night, Obama needs help to imp[rove his image. Well the BLS and their fudged numbers have come to the god-king’s rescue. I hope Americans don’t fall for this crap.
