I know that Obama said that his primary concerns for his second term were major immigration reform and gun control. Its probably just a coincidence, but roughly 80 years ago, Adolf Hitler also had to deal with those two issues. And in 1935, he got to brag For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead. And once he got guns out of the hands of civilians, he got busy with immigration reform, which pretty much consisted in shipping German Jews, priests, Gypsies and invalids, off to Poland in box cars.
But, now, thanks to sequestration, he has to put those plans on the backburner so he can terrify Americans into believing that a tiny reduction in rising expenditures will lengthen the lines at airports, reduce the ranks of air traffic controllers, and turn teachers, cops and firemen, into sidewalk apple vendors.
I used to think I was a fairly cynical character, but that was before Obama came on the scene. Compared to this Chicago thug, with his obvious contempt for everyone who isnt Obama and his conviction that he can feed swill to the American people and convince them its sirloin, Im a mere babe in the woods.
Still, when even the NY Times took him to task and the Washington Post started bestowing Pinocchios on him and his puppets, Obama had to realize that he had badly misplayed his attempt to make political hay out of this particular crisis.
What it led many of us to realize is that if only we had a free (from left-wing bias) press in America, it would matter far less than it does whose rump was planted in the Oval Office.
Speaking of rumps, I used to wonder why Clark Kent never got canned by the Daily Planet. After all, he was never around to cover any of Supermans headline-grabbing exploits. The same question comes to mind when I see the members of the White House Press Corps sitting politely, scribbling down Jay Carneys lies, like a bunch of overpaid stenographers.
I mean, the nation is over $16 trillion in debt, Obama says we dont have a spending problem, and those oafs who brag about speaking truth to power, dont even give him a horse laugh? You could dismiss them as pimps, but at least pimps dont pretend to be something they arent or to be peddling something theyre not.
For that matter, when the other 54 Senate Democrats demur to Harry Reids wishes as to how to vote and even which pieces of legislation he will permit them to vote on, I cant help wondering why they dont all have those unnaturally high voices one generally associates with harem guards.
When Obama boasted that he was a skeet shooter, its possible that he wasnt actually lying. After spending the last five years watching the men and women of the media echoing his every word, he may simply have confused shooting skeet with shooting fish in a barrel or blasting holes in sitting ducks.
As for those on the other side of the aisle, I know its fashionable, even in some conservative circles, to claim that Republicans dont have a message, but with a corrupt media ignoring their message or lying about it, its no wonder that even some Republicans are hopelessly befuddled. Lets face it, if it werent for Fox News, Benghazi would be nothing more than an eight-letter answer in a crossword puzzle.
Finally, little seven-year-old Josh Welch was eating a Pop-Tart in his Baltimore grammar school when his teacher, who no doubt believes she is underpaid, decided he was shaping it into a gun. This led to his being suspended for two days. Josh explained I just kept biting it and tore off the top, trying to shape it into a mountain.
The school sent out a letter to all the parents, explaining why they thought it was a threat, stating, A student used food to make an inappropriate gesture.
When I read that, I made what I regarded as an appropriate gesture in the general direction of Baltimore. At the very least, the school authorities should learn the difference between a gun, a mountain and a gesture, however inappropriate.
Im just wondering if it escaped everyones attention, as it had mine until eagle-eyed Arizonan Don Melquist pointed out to me that every single kid who has been suspended over the past several months has looked like one of those freckle-faced tykes who was always popping up in Norman Rockwell paintings.
How is it that its never a black or Hispanic tot? Is it that they are carrying actual guns and its a lot safer for craven school administrators to discipline kids packing Pop-Tarts? Or is it that political correctness, as usual, trumps every other consideration, including commonsense and sanity?
All in all, I figure little Josh was just lucky he and his folks dont live in New York City. For simply daring to bring a loaded Pop-Tart to school, Nanny Bloomberg would have had him doing hard time in Sing Sing.
Yet another postmortem of 2012? Who is doing what about preventing the next Bob McRomney?
Mr. RomneyCARE attacked Gov. Palin during the 2008
election for Obama, and then created obamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
Mr. RomneyCARE is the reason Obama is pRes_ _ent and the
RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE is everywhere.
They probably need strict gun control out there as it stands.
That's about half of FR.
BTW, I don't give damn what names you call me. If you stayed away from Romney then damn you to hell for allowing Obama a second term.
Does someone have that quote that ends something like this: (paraphrase) "... let us forget your name". It's about capitulation and let those who capitulated be damned.
Amen. This past election featured what was arguably the best ticket the GOP has ever fielded vs. the worst ticket the dems ever have. I mean, you might claim you liked Ike better than you do Mitt Romney, but the other guy on that ticket was Dick Nixon...

No more complicated than that.
Once the USD is dead, he and his fellow billionaire Marxist travelers can create the global totalitarian Utopia of their dreams.
Abortion...it's for the children.
No matter what we think of Romney, he clearly would have been a better president than Obama. 2012 should have been a “stop Obama” election. Even if you hated Romney, you should have voted for him to stop Obama. But apparently a lot of people in this country want the government to give them free stuff and think that “the rich” can pay for it all if they just paid their “fair share” of taxes.
Thanks a whole bunch to the "Romney's a filthy Commie atheist" crowd.
To paraphrase Chinas opinion today on Apple:
B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, is arrogant, does not care about Americans, and needs more supervision.
