To reprise a post from last night...

An excerpt from the President's presentation to a fundraising group in Seattle this weekend:

I am very proud that we have ended one war, and by the end of this year we will have ended both wars that I inherited before I came into office. (Applause.) But whether people see what’s happening in Ukraine, and Russia’s aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in which it’s financing and arming separatists; to what’s happened in Syria -- the devastation that Assad has wrought on his own people; to the failure in Iraq for Sunni and Shia and Kurd to compromise -- although we’re trying to see if we can put together a government that actually can function; to ongoing terrorist threats; to what’s happening in Israel and Gaza. Part of people’s concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isn’t holding and we’re not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order that’s based on a different set of principles, that’s based on a sense of common humanity, that’s based on economies that work for all people.

Thus, a president who has made an absolute hash of our foreign policy presents an inarticulate assessment of his performance and outlines a world in turmoil -- chiefly due to his ineptness.

The folks at that fund-raiser paid $32,000...and were rewarded with this drivel. They have money, so they have been successful. Presumably, they are well-educated. Yet, if they were reasonably intelligent and alert people, wouldn't they be wondering why this SOB was worth the $32,000 they'd just forked over.

Is there no critical thinking amongst the Democrat base? Do they all approve of his ineptitude? Do they all have such low standards?

A New Disorder

It is people like this and the people who dominate the Comment section off the New York Times that leave me wondering if a significant minority of the populace has been fully and irreversibly indoctrinated.

This is what a lot of them are wanting to run for President...



OK. What does this tell us about their standards?

It’s because he worked for the CIA, specifically between 1976 to 1986. He quit the job they had set up for him with a CIA associated company, and being a basically a con-man and fraudster by nature, he hit the streets of Chicago.

Then the Saudis went looking for a “mole” who would work within the U.S. government for their Muslim cause and black Nationalists insisted he be black.

That is why Bill Ayres wrote the fake autobiography of Barak Hussein Obama - to create an African black man. They pushed the meme that he was born in Kenya, except there was that annoying BC stating that he was adopted by Lolo Soetoro and that his name was actually Barry Soetoro. It was ignored.

Then the opportunity arose to be President of the U.S., and being born in Mombasa, Kenya (as the real BHO2 had been) became a monumental headache. He couldn’t claim his legal name of Barry Soetoro, the Indonesian student who was a naturalized citizen. After all, that would make him non-African and he couldn’t be the real BHO2 because he had been born in Africa and that made him ineligible. They came up with a “confidence game”.

It was important for the Democrats to fool tens of millions of black people and get this guy into the White House. He had to be black. The Democrats wanted complete power over the government so they could shove socialism down our throats. What they didn’t know was that this guy, a con man, wasn’t wholly on their side.

So he lied and drew a great many people, mainly Democrats and the CPUSA, into a broad-based fraud.

Lot of responses to choose from, hope you don’t mind that I chose yours.

“Convert the Tea Party” is code for “exploit then discard.” First saw this line stated by Katrina Vanden Heuvel a couple years back in a column or two she wrote about the KY Dem Party teaming up with the KY Tea Party to oust Mitch McConnell.

This isn’t to support McConnell or the GOPe, but what the Dems/Libs are selling is pure snake oil. They’ll partner with the Tea Party to knock off GOPe candidates, then win elections by portraying the Tea Party nominees as radical extremist who are taking the GOP off the far right nutcase edge.

That’s the base political mechanics of it.

Conservatives need to chart our own course here, understanding that as much as we despise the GOPe, the Dems/Progressives are just as bad, and magnitudes more sinister.

Cruz and the others, who seem to be charting out a Populist Conservative path are the answer. We need to play offense against the Dems/Libs first and always. And if we do, the GOPe will quickly find itself out of the driver’s seat as a consequence.

I think the argument is that while Obama is incompetent, he just wasn’t stupid enough. Warren gets us there. We’d finally have the ignorant and incapable president we all desire.

All I know is the GOP must be doing just fine. Otherwise the wouldn’t have alientated Conservatives and committed election fraud in their own primary.

Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner keeps Obama in power by not controlling spending or Impeaching Obama.

Morman Reid shuts down the Muslim Obama Government, (MOG), anytime that Boehner refuses to write Obama a Blank Check.

Muslim Obama is happy enough to play hooky from his day job to raise Campaign money for Morman Reid’s Senate Candidates.

Boehner is the key man to allow Muslim Obama to continue to wreck America, and Obama knows it.

Force Boehner to resign, and Obama will be at the mercy of New Speaker Jim Jordan or Trey Gowdy - - - .

Reading it truly expresses their mind-set of having a political Apartheid government…their Party is the “dominant party” for decades while the other is separate Party that must adjust to their lead.

Yes, I do thin they actually think this way because Liberalism IS in fact a mental disorder.

I think there’ll be a national divorce of some kind before their plans come to fruition.

“Bush declared himself a “compassionate conservative” who would govern as “a uniter, not a divider.”

Which is why he didn’t landslide Gore. If he was a Reagan prototype instead of a slightly better version of Dad, he would have gotten 57-60% of the 2000 vote. I hate that term “compassionate conservative”.

Despise it.”

You get it. The problem isn’t the Dems or a marxist president we now have, but the watered down conservatism that doesn’t inspire and convince the fence riders that there really is a better way.

Bush was the lesser evil from Gore, but he may have done more damage to conservatism than Gore would have.

I think Hildabeasts days are numbered between her health and the fact her ‘’brand’’ is old. 20 and 30-somethings can't identify with her on anything. They weren't even born when Hillary in her glory days and have no idea what ‘’feminism’’ means or have ever experienced job discrimination. She's so elitist and ''old'' to women in that age group it's laughable.

I don’t think so. The great majority of American voters are not brainwashed, they’re just waiting to see what each side will give them. They voted for Obama because they saw a somewhat moderate black man that could be transformational.

That was kind of my assumption in 2012. That 2008 was, not exactly a fluke, but an oddity. People had a chance to vote as you note for a moderate-appearing black guy and that novelty/guilt/idealism together with his lack of a negative record was enough to put him over the top. Under that line of reasoning, he should have got slaughtered in 2012, because the novelty/guilt/idealism had been used once already, plus now he had baggage of well-known incompetent job performance, most notably ramming OsamaScare down everyone's throat despite widespread opposition. Like I said, even against Willard the Giant Rat Moron, I expected him to get creamed. How do you explain his reelection? I can't, other than to assume the American electorate is (perhaps permanently) been taken over by the gibmedats and the idiots.

I fear you’re right.

I was in Safeway the other day, in a small retirement community in Oregon, and I suddenly realized that I was the only guy in that store area speaking English, everyone else, maybe six families, was Hispanic and speaking Spanish.

This wasn’t L.A., Texas, NM or Arizona, it was heretofore lily-white Oregon.

Makes no difference to me what nationality they are, but what matters to me is that I don’t ever see them becoming Americans, learning our history and loving our constitutional ideals.

My girlfriend’s grandparents came over here from Sicily, went through Ellis Island, they had to learn English, pass a test on America and swear allegiance to us...I honestly cannot see recent Hispanic immigrants to America doing that, and THAT will cost us the Republic, I’m afraid...

Believe it or not, Ed, it has all been on Free Republic during the last six years.

I no longer give out sources because they get scrubbed within 24 to 36 hours after I’ve quoted them, but much can be found on Nachums Death list or The Obama File.
