Slip Sliding Away

Slip Sliding Away

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.

Reid Wants Deportation Of Illegals Stopped By Excecutive Order

Reid Wants Deportation Of Illegals Stopped By Excecutive Order

Why? Is it because you wouldn’t have won re-election of not for the SEIU  pouring millions into your campaign?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he hopes President Obama will review possible administrative actions to halt the deportations of illegal immigrants now that reform legislation has stalled in Congress.

“I would hope that administratively, the president will do what he can to take a look at deportations, but he is being burdened by the law as it exists and we need to change it,” Reid told the Las Vegas Review Journal.

No shit Sherlock. The law was conceived and written by congress to hinder illegals staying in country illegally. Whether or not the law works is a different story, but like you Democrats love to say “it is the law of the land”.

A Nod to Weasel Zippers for the heads up.

The Wussification Of America Continues

The Wussification Of America Continues

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.

 

 

The Reality Of Socialism

The Reality Of Socialism

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 Venezuela_Protests-0d309 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.

Remington Leaving New York After 198 Years, Packs It’s Bags For Alabama

Remington Leaving New York After 198 Years, Packs It’s Bags For Alabama

Too bad for the people losing their jobs, too bad for New York losing tax revenue, too bad for the support business that will have to close with the expansion. I think I am seeing a trend here. Due to hostile policies by liberal New York politicians, nothing good happens for the state. Nothing.
I don’t have a dog in this fight so good luck to Remington. Too bad for the people of Ilion, NY. You may want to remember this at the voting booth.remington-arms-304

High level sources have informed Yellowhammer News that Remington, one of the world’s largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday join Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley in announcing that they are bringing over 2,000 jobs to Alabama.

The company is viewing the move into Alabama as an expansion, but it will likely impact their Ilion, NY plant as well. The New York facility currently employees around 1,200 people. It is expected to stay open, but with a reduced workforce.

The initial estimated impact on Alabama’s economy will be roughly $87 million.

 

Americas New Ruling Class

Americas New Ruling Class

Worth the read to be sure.

So, how is it that Americans have allowed things to degrade to this point? Part of it is fanatics wake up every morning with a plan to advance the cause. Normal people wake up every morning with more pedestrian thoughts in their heads. Another is the natural evolution of a ruling class is to tend to the walls of the castle first. By that I mean they are always looking to secure their position. Over time, they tinker with the rules, change the laws, alter the contract so they face less pressure. Over time, their position becomes unassailable. Brick by brick the walls go up until one day the people can no longer see their rulers. Today Washington looks like  medieval Paris with limousines and secret police, rather than carriages and royal guards.
