Big Blame, Little Progress President

Obama's unfortunate, real inheritance continues to be his unprecedented "blame game" and lack of personal accountability as president–he is never to blame, quick to claim undeserved credit when something good happens, but it's never his fault and he "inherited problems" when things are going badly.

Obama's Green Boondoggle Policies

In 2009, President Obama promised that

he would reignite the economy by using

$90 billion in stimulus funding to create

Chart of the Day: Obama’s Jobs Deficit

by Lonely Conservative

President Obama sure is doing a bang-up job when it comes to the economy. He’s banging up American businesses and the workers they employ. Look at this awful chart, via Rep. Dave Huelskamp:

The Democrat-controlled Senate tables every bill brought to them by the House. How anyone can blame this mess – a mess that began after Democrats took control of both houses of Congress while Bush was president, and the official unemployment rate was in the 5% range – and get away with it is beyond comprehension.
Well, nobody ever accused liberals of being smart. They’re intellectual, which means they have the ability to spin anything – with the help of the media, of course – into their favor. Don’t buy what they’re selling, they never offer a refund. Quite the opposite is true, we always pick up their tabs.
Oh, and don’t believe the official unemployment numbers. Do the math, where did all of the workers go?

Obama Eligibility Controversy Receives International Attention | Western Journalism.com

A couple of quotes from article—

 Pravda goes on to assert that the “systematic scrubbing of Minor v. Happersett in the summer of 2008 (involved)  erasing the name and specific text quoted from the case, along with specific citations to it out of dozens of , cases” citing Minor in “over 138 years of American Supreme Court History!” .

 And Pravda is calling Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s press conference“an earth shattering revelation.”   “Without doubt, this is a serious Law Enforcement Officer, not one to be taken in by tin-foil-hat wearing loons.”  In a very insightful evaluation of U.S. mainstream media, Pravda continues: “the American Press is aggressively protecting the presumed President of the United States, pushing the fraud upon both America and the world, supporting a man who may well have usurped the office. . .one can easily imagine the reaction of the press had this scenario been about George W. Bush in 2004.” [emphasis added]

            

Adamo – Media's Framing Games With GOP Candidates

“Social Issues” From A Truly Conservative Perspective

By: Christopher G. Adamo

With Republican candidate Rick Santorum’s meteoric rise of recent weeks, the media has predictably gone into full attack mode against him. The new controversy of the day, repeated incessantly by the network anchors, is anything related to “social issues.” And even a casual association with them will be the “kiss of death” to aspiring contenders. Or so we are told.

Their ruse is as transparent as cellophane. Only a few weeks back, the only matter of importance to the chattering class was “vulture capitalism,” which was their characterization of Mitt Romney’s business practices while involved with the investment firm Bain Capital. And during Newt Gingrich’s brief moment in the spotlight, the liberal press was obsessively fixated on fidelity in marriage. In light of this obvious bias against anything that might generate momentum for the Republican ticket, their duplicity is having a significantly diminished effect during this campaign cycle.

Clearly, the liberal media/Democrat Party cabal will go to any lengths to distract the American people from such nuanced topics as the nation’s disintegrating economy, the malignant expansion of the federal government, its increasing intrusiveness in the lives of the American people, and their consequent loss of freedom. In essence, the daily commentaries from the liberal press must studiously avoid any honest assessment of American life under Barack Obama.

So it was no surprise that a speech made by Santorum at a theological institution in 2008, in which he described a satanic onslaught against this nation, is now getting nonstop coverage on the nightly news. Obviously, their intention is to paint him up as an out-of-touch paranoid, whose far-out beliefs, along with his “extreme” stances on such defining issues as the right-to-life of the unborn, render him completely unfit to hold the nation’s highest office.

Here again however, the myopic talking heads of the liberal media prove themselves to be completely hypocritical, and thoroughly out of touch with America. Against the backdrop of recent “spiritual” declarations from Barack Obama essentially claiming Jesus to have been a Marxist, his twenty year former involvement with the likes of the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright and the militant bile of “black liberation theology,” promoted in Wright’s church, it would be extremely difficult to make Santorum look unreasonable. Furthermore, in contrast to the current winds of “moral relativism” blowing across this country and the ravages inflicted on the populace by such errant thinking, a simple and blunt recognition of the age-old contrast between good and evil is actually refreshing.

The existence of that evil entity to which Santorum referred is widely acknowledged by a huge majority of Americans. And though most people do not actually envision it as the comical, red-suited countenance appearing on those little cans of processed meat spread with excessive sodium content (Does anyone still make that stuff?), they nevertheless witness the tragic consequences of its labors around them on a daily basis. Something sinister operates in our midst, tearing down the institutions of a formerly great nation, from marriage to the family, to the community, and striving to supplant them with the empty promises of a depraved and hyper-regulated “brave new world” that is rightly to be abhorred.

Consequently, the people of this nation are keenly aware that the perils facing it, both from within and without, cannot be addressed solely in financial terms. Nor do they expect that such things can be indefinitely skirted by a national leadership that either ignores their existence or is too timid to take a bold stand against them.

The deepening squalor of this nation’s inner cities will not be fixed by further infusions of money from without, no matter how vast the sum, as long as the values of the people residing in them continue to degenerate. Likewise, the threats faced by this nation from its enemies throughout the world cannot be placated or otherwise wished out of existence. And any attempts to carry on as if they no longer present a potential for calamity will only increase the likelihood of them someday being again manifested as they were on 9-11.

Four years ago as Barack Obama made his way towards the White House, America was subjected to perhaps the most flagrant display of disingenuousness in its history. Voters were ensnared with empty assurances of a miraculous fix to environmental problems that never existed, concurrently with the dawn of social utopia. Not surprisingly, at least to those willing to objectively weigh the evidence, the actual results have been abysmal. On virtually every front the current state of the nation is quantifiably worse than when Barack Obama took office in 2009. And no amount of pretending otherwise will improve anything. Barring a genuine and principled change of direction, the American people can only expect more of the same.

Real conservatism requires an understanding of the underlying problems plaguing the nation, and the resultant will to boldly address them. In stark contrast, the objective of “fiscal conservatism” is ostensibly to manage the finances of the nation more capably, while studiously evading any entanglements with those issues of morality and values, such as abortion and same-sex “marriage.” But while many high-sounding excuses are offered in support of this strategy, in reality it results from either the cowardice or moral bankruptcy of its proponents. Over time the Alinskyite tactics of the left have been successful at intimidating many on the conservative side who recoil at the prospect of being labeled extreme or fanatical.

Of course these characterizations are always invoked at the discretion of the liberal accusers. And considering the degree to which the “mainstream” media presents its thoroughly jaundiced opinions as unbiased news, it is inevitable that only conservatives can be expected to incur such scathing allegations. It is therefore futile to deviate even slightly from the liberal agenda, if one expects to avoid being a target of leftist venom.

So for those on the right, only two options exist. They can thoroughly sabotage their entire cause by engaging in vain efforts to mollify their critics, which neither inspires their base nor improves their portrayal by the opposition. Or they can ignore the inevitable scorn and ridicule from leftist activists, remain true to their core principles, and rally the country to their cause.

Nightmare Cinema: A World Under Obama’s Arms Control
Wednesday, February 22, 2012 9:00 AM

In a recent speech to the Conference on Global Zero, Rose Gottemoeller, the Assistant Secretary for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance, told the cheering masses, “New START was just the beginning. Going forward, we know that we are going to have to think bigger and bolder.” For those who don’t follow the play-by-play of nuclear arms control, “Global Zero” is a utopian plan embraced by President Obama: that if the U.S. gets rid of all of its nuclear weapons, the rest of the world will follow suit. Put aside, for now, … More

The Unclear but Present Danger

Anyone that has not read the recent article from Townhall.com by Laura Hollis needs to do so.

I explained Obama's positions to my teenager this way.

I said in a couple of years you will be able to move out on your own and you would have the freedom to make your own decisions.

Do you have that plan?

Suppose instead of doing that you were required to live at home?

You will be taken care of and all your decisions will be made by us!
You will work but you will hand over your entire paycheck to us.
We will decide what you need.
We will decide if and when you need college and where it will be.
We will decide if and when you date.
We will decide if you drive and what you drive and where you go and who you see.
We will decide what stuff you have.

In other words you traded freedom for security.

Your decision was final....sorry!

Your friends at school that are ga-ga over Obama know this?

Master Manipulator

What is a community organizer in Barak Obamas world?

Substitute the term master manipulator. Black theology and Marxism is the goal of the game.
The naive middle class is the unwitting target of their manipulations.
"(Barack) Obama worked in the organizing tradition of Saul Alinsky, who made Chicago the birthplace of modern community organizing...."

The middle class for the most part has no idea on what Obama really represents. This is due to the huge in-place defensive shield called the media. From the system of campaign contributions achieved by sheltering the Fanny and Fred fiasco, to ACORN, to the target identifying of the big business/Bush enemy it all fits. America needs to know.

Barack Obama and Alinsky's Rules for Psychopaths

The more you find out the more you realize that Obama hopes to hide all of this and is active in doing so just long enough to get elected.

As I write this however it may be about to all unravel, the exposure caused by the collapse of the credit market is revealling much more than they hoped would ever see the light of day.

Summarizing Obamas Radical Mind

With all that has been written on Obama and his radical mind, this article acts to really summarize all that we have learned of him and what he will mean to America and our traditional way of life if he were to be elected. I wish this information could get out there to every independent or undecided voter and the honest Democrats that still exist and want the truth.
