LeftTruthOut = Minitrue?

Here is another thoughtful, no, entertaining, no, frightening article from LeftTruthOut. It is a site similar to LeftyNet just more to the left.

I wonder if the author and his ilk would view the counter culture of the 1960's in the same light? Did they too have roots in the prewar south? They too were not interested in wars of aggression. They too did not trust the government. They too wanted less government up in their business. They too didn't want to pay taxes to the man. And legalization of pot and other drugs. That was the point, man!  I could go on and on with the similarities. But I am sure the writer and his ilk are not interested in facts or opinions other than their own. I would expect nothing less from a writer who has contempt for the same groups that our President and his administration also has contempt for.

This one actually reads like a retelling of the truth/history according to the new official story from the Ministry of Truth. Winston Smith would be very proud of this author. All necessary historical facts have slightly been altered to support the new truth/history. A fair amount of old truth/history is mixed in with new truth/history to make the reader actually question what if anything had been altered. Just remember, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Foxphobes, if you don't like the truth, up your dosage

WARNING: If you are a Foxphobe or suffer from BDS or FNDS, please take your meds before reading.

I'm feeling a bit lazy today so I am going to let someone else do most of the talking. Andrew Breitbart was a great man and a great American. He was not only interested in the truth and rights of a free press, but also the responsibility of a free press to inform the people. He did that well. Truth to power. Not a popular thing with the Obama regime. His untimely death was tragic for his family, but thankfully the outstanding news establishment he left behind is carrying on his work and doing it well. Keep up the good work!

Here are two stories from Breitbart. The DOJ/AP/FoxNews story is growing. I mean, this is bad as a stand alone scandal/abuse of power/crime, but combined with the others, it is only magnified.

Fox-News-vs-the-Cult-of-Obama

The-Ailes-Manifesto

P.S. I don't watch that much FoxNews. I like Bill O, most of the time. Remember most can be 51% and sometimes my like sinks to that level. I like The Five. I heart Dana Perino. Every word that comes out of her mouth is well thought out and spot on. I like Cavuto a lot. Not a big fan of Sean H. And I don't watch any of there other news shows. I don't watch it at home, so any exposure I have is while I am at work. I spend almost zero time at their web site. Unless Drudge links to them. I do however, support what they do. Esspeically, beating the crap out of the lame and liberal media in ratings. And I double esspcially like that they are under the skin of the Obama administration and the Democrats and Liberals as a whole. Truth with opinion is still truth. Keep up the good work.

BDS: Bush Derangement Syndrome
FNDS: FoxNews Derangement Syndrome

Can this even be fixed?

There is so much going on for the political watcher right now, it is almost overwhelming. No, it is overwhelming. I was talking to a person who will remain anonymous, he/she did not know about most of the big things going on, or the depth of most things that are going on. Then he/she said something that was very thought provoking. How can this be fixed? I was semi at a loss. I was so into the problem, I wasn't spending much time thinking about a solution. The answer is, I don't know if this can be fixed. When I forced myself  to answer, I came up with these solutions, if you can call them that. All are solutions that will stop or slow each scandal and protect Obama.

The AP and now Fox News scandal. Most of the press is in Obama's and the Democrats pocket. But those who occasionally ask too many questions, need a little extra scrutiny. The AP did that a few times, and got looked at. Fox News does that for a living. Obama and the Dems have been out for them since day one. They a have a negative effect on the President, the Democrats, the States narrative. Obama wants what the government puts out as the story, to be the story, end of story. Fox News does not let that happen. Rush, Sean, Glenn, Savage, Drudge, I could go on, they all do not let that happen. That is called journalism. That is call the free press. And thank god for them. No, actually, thank our founding fathers for them. They are what the first amendment and freedom of the press is all about. They effect the narrative and they question narrative. The stop or slow the spin the President is trying to put out from becoming "truth." Most of what the President says to us his him trying to sell something to us. Fox News isn't buying it. They are needed. A free society can not function with out them. The President, his administration and his party can't stand them. They took action. They chilled free speech by going after those who practice free speech, only when it doesn't match up with what the State puts out. That does not jive with the law or the Constitution. Good Fox News. Bad DOJ

How this can be fixed. The Attorney General Eric needs to throw himself under the bus. He needs to say the all actions started with him and ended with him. He then needs to resign. Obama then needs to opinion a moderate or a conservative in the AG for the rest of his term. Obama, protected.

P.S. And while Holder is under the bus, he needs to come clean on Fast and Furious. Bus bonus.

LeftyNet on the subject.

WaPo on the subject.

Benghazi. What a cluster. What an ever changing official story. Lie after lie. Inconsistent story after inconsistent story. People died. Cause? Incompetence up and down the chain. Desire to protect the President and Hillary Clinton's chances (at least as the Democratic candidate) at becoming president in 2016.

How this can be fixed. The former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton needs to throw herself under the bus. She needs to say, she ordered the units to stand down and not go in and help. She has to say it was her idea to change the wording on the talking points. She has to say it was her idea and her idea alone to use the YouTube video as a scapegoat and diversion. She has to then make it very clear, even if it takes a press statement, that she will not seek the presidency in 2016. She has to say it was her call, she blew it and she is not fit for further office. Obama, protected.

The targeting of conservative groups by the IRS. Wow, this grows every day. This is big. I would say Watergate or Iran Contra big, but they did not effect as many people and did not effect theirs rights a much and those two didn't effect an election like this one did. This is big. I think I said it before, but if this would have broke, last year, when they knew about it, we would be a few months into Romney's first term. This is the government targeting and harassing and denying rights to thousands of its own citizens. This also had a chilling effect on fund raising and civic participation. This will not die or go away any time soon.

How this one can be fixed. (Teeth suck) I don't know that it can. Even if it was low to mid or even semi-senior people at the IRS, and even if they take the fall, I don't think this goes away. I don't think the President can stay insulated and protected from this one. I mean even if he puts those responsible in jail, it was still the climate that he fostered and the lengths which people felt they could go, out side the law to help him gain and maintain power. That is rotten to the core. The core. Nixon didn't order or suggest the break ins at the Watergate, and he resigned. Is this similar, maybe? This is hard to say, but I think this one can only be fixed by either impeachment or resignation. Will either of those things happen? I don't know. I can't say I want either of those things to happen. They are a sign of an unhealthy government. An unhealthy country. Even if impeachment or resignation happens, what will that fix or change. Then we will have Biden. I am sure his finger prints are on this somewhere. Even if it is or was a suggestion he made that we (those government officials and employees down with the cause) need to fight the groups that hurt the Presidents narrative, that is the tone and culture that was set up and down the chain, and how we got to where we are. Rotten to the core. Obama, not protected.

So, I have a solution for two, but not for the third. This is just one mans opinion. How I see, or could see things playing out. Not necessarily how I want things to play out. Either way, Obama's second term agenda is DOA. That is both good and bad and a topic for another post.

P. S. Jay Carney, who I like zero and respect even less, has to go. He has to go not for me, but for himself and for the President. He has been the Whitehouse's official liar for a while now. He does not even do it very well. He needs to resign because he has been under the bus for a while now. A bus that is constantly running over him forward, then putting it self in reverse and running him over backwards. Over and over and over.  He is shafted daily by this administration. Not being told stuff. Being told different stuff. And having to day after day, tell a new or a new current truth. The press core no longer trust him. Most of them never did. He has avoided or not answered more questions than he has ever answered. If he has any self respect he will leave. Who to replace him? How about a web site and the President himself.

Dirty Bills

I want to take a little break from all the glorious scandles that are rocking Obama's liberal utopia this past few weeks and talk about something different. The giant "farm" bill is an example of what else is wrong with bussniss as usual in DC. It is expensive and not in best interests of the tax payers or the country as a whole to keep combining unrelated spending into bills to to get them passed. Business as usual is not good business.

Grouping unrelated spending together so a bill can taste a little good and a little bad to everyone so both "sides" can get their pet spending projects passed is a rip off. Here is a great artical about the agriculture bill, also called the farm bill. They lump in food stamps into this bill. Why? Unless the farmers are growing the food to give to the food stamp recipiants these things have nothing to do with each other. According to this article, 75% of the "farm bill" spending is food stamps. Why even call it a farm bill? Call it a food stamp bill with a little farm on the side.

We need to break these giant bills up in to much smaller bills and have them only address one subject at a time. Craft, and vote on, and spend money on agriculture. Then craft, vote and spend money on food stamps. If you can't get it passed with out coating in with honey, it shouldn't be passed. If a bill can't stand on its own, it shouldn't stand. This is not the only example of this, the Defense spending bill is literally thousands, if not millions, of times worse. Americans wouldn't group there beer budget in with their car maintenance budget and we shouldn't let politicians do the same with our country's budget or money. Lets clean up these dirty bills. Enjoy.

Incompetence, Lies and Incontinence.

Good morning readers. The last two weeks, Washington wise, have been crazy. You would think, and I would have thought, that this type of political activity would have led me to multiple, lengthy posts. Well it just happens that I actually have some other stuff going on in my life. The past two weeks have been both fun, not fun, and a lot of work. I say all that to say this, I’m sorry I have not updated. As I can see it, there were or are four big storied out in the past two weeks. Benghazi, Gosnell, IRS and AP. Those are in no specific order, but my hopefully short analysis and opinion on them will be.

Let’s start with Gosnell. One of my recent post brought out how sickening what this man, and many like him do. And as a reader brought out, what he did was against the law. My only comment on that is that is a pretty fine, manmade, law that decides one day it is abortion, and the next is murder. I know that is over simplified but it is closer to the truth than not. Well, the trail is over, he was found guilty of murder, as he should have and he is going away to prison for life. That is good. The attention this trail got for the abortion subject is also good. It seems the pro-life and pro-abortion people always will snipe back and forth, election or not. But this trail was in an off election time and had photos and testimony of the dark side of abortion. If there is a light side? This is what we need more of. If we wait until a few months before elections and let the candidates shape what and how we talk about will be always be either sheep or slaves to them. That is not a government of, for and by the people works. Let’s hope more of this gets brought into light, as a headline out of TX just said and we continue to talk about it, and it does come up next election. Done with that.

Secret DOJ AP phone taps. Big story, only because the media belongs to Obama and the liberals. And friends spying on each other hurts friendships. It is to the point where all the DOJ would have had to do is ask and the AP most likely would have assigned an intern to just help with this matter. They didn’t. They went all secret and phone tappy. Media sad. Media felt betray. BFF and the willing to insulate and protect the President and his administration, diminished. This story has little legs, but it along with the other things that are going on is just another chink in the armor that is the love affair between the lame stream media and the Obama.

Benghazi. This one has always been big and this was proven the other day by the president himself. His quote, “there is no there there.” Whenever anyone high or low says there is nothing to see here, move along. Stop and look. There is serious there there. The there that is there is the damage to the reputation and presidential chances of Hillary Clinton. This is a longevity, power and control crisis in the Democrtic party. The there that is there is the proof of gross incompetence. With that incompetence is a layered cake of lies that started on day one and is still being built higher and higher nine months later. Then the arrogance of that woman to actually stay, not just say, but yell, “what difference does it make,” just shows she is not fit for any further or higher public office. For Americas sake, the title of former Secretary of State needs to her political apex. She needs to be done. Incompetence, incompetence and maybe even a little incontinence.

Last and biggest is the IRS’s treatment of conservative groups. Holy shit this is big. Remember, Nixon did not order or suggest or whatever any of those men to do what they did. But what he did do was set a tone and surround himself with people who are willing to do whatever, and I mean whatever it takes to seize and hold on to power. This is no different and most likely even bigger. The same attitude that those ACORN workers had, those IRS workers had. All of Obamas men and women have. Help the cause at any cost. They are foot soldiers and pawns. If they go down, fine it was for the greater cause. I actually admire that in some sick way. But since I am on the victim side, that would be the side of law and justice and America, this is a pile of shit. If this story would have broken when it should have broken at least one year ago, when the administration had knowledge of it, in the middle to tail end of the election, Obama would have been done and Mitt Romney would have been elected president. I do not know if this this will get to impeachment levels, it should, but it has and will tarnish the anointed ones record. However thin and faulty that record may be. And if justice prevails, it will tarnish the record of the Democratic Party and lead to great and glorious Republican, Tea Party and Libertarian victories in the next few elections. It is a pipe dream, but pipes are real, and dreams are real, and stranger things in history have happened.

That about sums it up. All these things have legs of all different sizes, and I would have no problem with them walking all the way until campaigns start. The lame duck was showing himself early, all this just accelerated the process. My only fear is that a wounded animal can be more dangerous than a healthy one. Especially one that knows his expiration date. Got nothin to lose.

Cue electric guitar...Warren Zevon where you at?

I'm hiding in The Whitehouse
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

I'm not a chicken farmer but...

I think some of the Presidents chickens are coming home to roost.

Sorry, I have a busy night. I hope to post at least one, if not two new posts this week.

Moms and Guns

Every Mother or Father or any person who's charge is the safe keeping of children should be able to carry a gun whenever and wherever they want, if they choose. Period.

Have a happy and safe Mothers Day!

The True Consiquences Of Magazine Capacity Limits

It's Saturday morning and I am feeling a bit lazy. So instead of a well thought out and writen opinion peice on a topic relivant to our times, and there are many, I thought I would let you enjoy this short film.

It very accurately depicts why limiting magazine capacity for law abiding citizens is not just stupid and unconstituional, it is also dangerious. We would not dream of telling a police sergeant or an army sergeant how many rounds he or she may carry in his or her magazine, so way do we think it is ok to or in many states actually is the law to have this limitation on law abiding citizens? Armed citizens are the true first responders. They have to deal with the criminals in their own houses and cars and on the streets. Then we call the cops. Sounds a little backwards to me.

One thing we can certainly learn from this video, actually what this video can learn from Our Leader, Second in Charge, the Honorable Vice President Joe Biden. If this guy just would have had a shotgun and fired it through the front door, all would have been fine. I am sure there is some law against killing people through your front door, but never mind that. I guess your just supoed to hope they are not census workers or the pizza guy. Keep blastin Joe!

Gun regulation is unconstitutional and dangerous. Oppose any new infringement of our rights and work to repeal current infringement on our rights. It most likely will save a life, or hundreds, or thousands.

Kermit Gosnell

I am sorry for my lack of posts for the last few weeks. I have been avoiding talking about this here. I have started and tried to do a post on this subject, but have stopped each time. I am talking about the not yet, but soon to be convicted baby killer Kermit Gosnell and the topic of abortion. There are not many things that I actually have a physical reaction to when I read or see or hear about, but the photo of a baby with its neck cut open and its spinal cord cut did just that. I get/got a shiver and I felt a little sick. Descriptions of a baby squirming around on a table, making "unimaginable" sounds and only quieted when their spinal cords are cut. I'm freaking ill just recounting it.

I know this will piss off and divide some of us, and it should. Knowing this happens should piss us all off. This is a topic that needs to be talked about. We, as a society need to deside when a life is a life and when that life needs to be protected. A live birth from a doctor to loving parents is not the right choice and is not what defines life. If something is sqirming and making noise on a table, it is a life. I am sure you can back it up a few weeks or even months from there. That takes us to have to make an arbitrary disision that some time between conception and birth or viability outside the womb, you have a life. And in this country, and in most of the world, life is sacred. We morn the loss of it and celebrate the beginging of it.

Abortion

My personal position. That is a hard one. The life lover and protector wants all abortions to stop immideately. We need to stand up and protect those who can not stand up and pretect themselves. There is none more vunreble then our children or soon to be born children. The "cold hearted" libertarian in me says let people, its silly we say "people", because it is only women, let women do what they want. And then we always throw in the phrase "their body." I get a little pissed when the words, "their body" are used. They are carring a life, it is not part of their body. Their body would go on living just fine if that other life is taken out of their body. So much of the terminolgy of pregnecy shows that we belive there is a life and has worth in and value and rights. "We are expecting." We are not expecind a lamb or a lawn mower, we are expecting a baby human "She is with child." I mean come on. If you kill a pregnant woman, you can be charged with two murders. The other cold hearted part of me knows that many of those children who are never born, killed, would be born in to less than ideal situations, otherwise known as single parent house holds. They would grow up in poverty and want and need, and see things that most likely will not form a caring and or contributing member of society. Many will end up in prision or dead or conceaving unwanted children themselves. I know I am generalizing, but this is not fiction. I think there was a former Soviet state that outlawed abortion, and 16-18 years later they had a crime eppidemic. Maybe that is true, maybe not. Aborting these unwanted children does help some girls and or couples redirect the direction their life is going in. It keeps unknown amounts of people off of future welfare roles and our of future prison cells. It keeps future murdered and rapists and drug dealers and thieves, off the future streets. That is the best case negative scenario. But what about regret? Even the Roe in the Roe vs Wade case now regrets that disision. How many other girls or women live with that regret? How many girls or women live life hating and dispising their children because they didn't abort them? I would say almost none, like 99.99% mothers love their children. I doubt the number is that high for women who have aborted.

You know what. I am not going to include any links. I was going to, but now I am not. If you want to look this up yourself, there is a shit load of info out there for you. If you are so hard core pro abortion that you don't want to see photos or read testimony, then just keep your head in the sand. Keep on thinking of yourself as pro-choice, but what you really are is pro-abortion. And if you want that fine. Just know the truth. Or many you should seek out those images and testimony, to test your resolve. See how you feel when you see those necks cut open. Or read about babys birthed into toilets, then killed. Most of the media, aka MSM did just that. Ignored this whole story. Lets talk about that. FoxNews and some other conservative news outlets were the only people covering this case for a while, but the persistant drum beat reluctantly brought the MSM to have to follow it. Why do they not report on this, because it is devistating to the pro abortion cause

Notice I didn't even mention Obama. As this was going on he actually addressed Planned Parenthood. He is down with them and what they do. Planned Parenthood supporters are Obama supporters. They give him money and votes he give them money and protection. Obama is Planned Parenthood. Gosnell is Planned Parenthood.

Similar but separate topic. The morning after pill was OKed by the FDA this past week. Girls 15 and older can get it with out prescription or parental notification or permission. Bullshit. Not just bullshit because I am a father, to a girl who will some day be a 15 year old girl, but bullshit because now you run into essentially covering up cases of statutory rape and legislating parents out of parenting. That is just the tip of the iceberg. So, 15 year olds are treated like "adults" for the morning after pill, but 26 year old "kids" still covered under mommy and daddy's insurance. Its effing liberal heaven.

So, in closing. This disgusts me. I am personally torn on the "right" to an abortion. Kinda funny. Abortion is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution or bill of rights, but one court case and we can't touch it or even think about regulation or reversal. Guns, mentioned in the very beginning of the bill of right, explicitly, and lets try to regulate those out of our citizens hands. Well, guns kill way less kids a year then abortions do in a single day. I hate the term but, just sayin.

So, in closing, again. I won't. Obama says abortion should be safe, legal and rare. In 2008, 1.2 million abortions were performed in the US. That is not rare. That is 1.2 million dead babys. Obama uses "if we could save just one child," as his battle cry for gun control. Mr. President, I know a way you can save over 1 million children a year, and it has nothing to do with guns.
