A Nod To The Gods

Is it just me or is this the most arrogant thing the Obama administration has tried to pull off to date? Will the liberal media continue sucking up to this dictator or will they finally see that full government control will also claim the useful idiot?

This is shocking to me. The balls to even make an attempt is amazing, the nonchalant way that they assume it can be done is more than alarming.

I read somewhere that “we are in an awkward time where it’s too late to vote and too early to start shooting.” I’m beginning to wonder about that.

Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs,” or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run. A field test in Columbia, S.C., is scheduled to begin this spring.

The purpose of the CIN, according to the FCC, is to ferret out information from television and radio broadcasters about “the process by which stories are selected” and how often stations cover “critical information needs,” along with “perceived station bias” and “perceived responsiveness to underserved populations.”

I take the time to blog because of Andrew Breitbart. His passion and effort to expose the hypocrisy of the left moved me to start doing this. It was a dark day when we lost him. Blogging had nothing to do with the hope of money or fame, I just wanted to help out in any way that I could to get the word out. I don’t live back east, I don’t have contacts in the media or politics. I regurgitate sourced information that I find interesting, infuriating, or humorous. I have zero journalistic ability  but I do toss out some thoughts of my own periodically just to get something off my chest, makes me feel better.

So here’s to Andrew Breitbart and another example of the hypocrisy he wanted to expose because the MSM refused too!

 

Well written article on the ever increasing speed of Americas demise. A few excerpts:

That very day, Obama decreed that the Obamacare mandate for employers with 50 to 99 workers would be postponed until 2016 (beyond an earlier extension to 2015), well past the November 2014 midterm elections. This eases the pressure on Democrats, whose campaigns would suffer if voters saw their company health plans canceled due to Obamacare’s unnecessary, expensive, mandatory benefits — e.g. maternity coverage for men. So, by fiat, Obama has postponed the employer mandate. When Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) effectively tried to do this through legislation last fall, Democrats virtually lassoed and branded him.

When conservatives try it…bad, when Obama does it for political reasons only…good. That’s messed up.

Also by decree last week, Obama decided unilaterally to soften political-asylum rules. Refugees and other immigrants who provide terrorists “limited material support” now can come to America. Meanwhile, the Justice Department is working hard to revoke the asylum of and deport the Romeikes. This evangelical-Christian family was granted refuge in America to escape prosecution for homeschooling their children, which German law forbids. So, Obama believes, those who are only somewhat helpful to deadly, anti-U.S. terrorists may become Americans, while religiously oppressed homeschoolers who face prison should get the hell out.

Much like the other paragraph, this is totally backwards. We welcome potential terrorists but use the DOJ to toss out a white German family who could face prison back home for the crime of….homeschooling. Idiots.

America is a total mess.

The Land of the Free is governed by an out-of-control egomaniac, neither bolstered by managerial competence nor hindered by the legislature’s institutional prerogatives. In the Home of the Brave, half of Congress cheers Obama’s unconstitutional behavior, while the other half grumbles and then meekly carpet-bombs his path with white flags.

The American people have been betrayed — both by Obama and the Democrats, whose lust for control intensifies daily, and by Republican leaders in Washington, whose cowardice and defeatism have turned their guts and spines into tapioca.

America, as Paul Simon sings, is slip-slidin’ away. And the worst part hasn’t happened yet.

If ever a time for our enemies to feel confident that America is ripe for the taking, all it will take is one more generation of this crap.

 

 

 

 

 

You know if the kid wants to decide on his own that he is a little light in the loafers then so be it. For his parents to force him into this should be a crime.

 

 

Want a glimpse of the future if we continue down the Obama/Clinton/DeBlasio progressive, liberal, socialist, whatever we are calling communism today? Welcome to 2014’s version of Venezuela.

Maduro’s predecessor, the late Hugo Chávez, once claimed capitalism had killed life on Mars, but insane statements clearly did not die with him. It’s clear that the governing elites in Caracas have a shaky grip on reality—and the problem is institutional. Venezuela’s political life has become a bad reality TV show, and the country’s youth simply wants it to end.

The young are restless, and they have had it. They want solutions to their problems, and an end to the mayhem that chavista Venezuela has become. Their strategy is not clear, and so far they are outnumbered and outgunned.

But they are not going anywhere.
