Democratic Victory Will
Unleash Obama, Top Backers Say

CHICAGO — In the basement conference rooms of the posh Fairmont Hotel, President Obama’s top donors gathered before making their way to the election night party at McCormick Place, loosening up with a few drinks and wondering what a second term would bring. The so-called bundlers — those who’ve raised over $50,000 for the president — and their close friends said that Obama’s reelection was a “vindication” and gave him a “mandate” for the next four years. “He doesn’t have to play to get reelected anymore, which is huge,” said Chicago supporter Jim Slama, who first met

I hope so. I hope he overreaches so far that the scales will fall from the eyes of the electorate. Of course, he could name himself dictator for life and a third of the country would cheer him on. Scary.

Hmmm -- what happens if you unleash an empty suit?

Obama has neither the ability nor the inclination to prevent the coming collapse of western civilization.

Which makes me feel abused, and physically sick.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to give the vote to those who only take from society?

I thought his mandate was when he was "shooting hoops"

There is NO right to vote in Presidential elections..see Bush vs Gore. The Supreme Court ruled that no such right exists.
Therefore, we should be pushing for a LAW stating that only people who PAY Federal Income Tax should be eligible to vote in Federal elections.

Emotionally, I tend to agree with you out of sense of frustration. However, you would deny the vote to me, who spent 6 years in the U.S. Army, went to college and graduate school, then worked 25 years in my career. Became ill from some things that happened in the military, and fortunately I had good support at the VA, and was able to have granted a 100% disability for PTSD and I have Social Security. Both of which are non-taxable along as I don't go crazy and try to work in mental health again at 68 years old. You sure you want another bureaucracy to separate the wheat from the chaff on this issue, #8?

So punish every Democrat business and media supporter. Punish every Democrat. They were running from Obama before the election, make them do it again.

And punish the media. Severely.

I agree with #8. If you don't pay taxes, you have no "skin" in the game...

Only property owners and taxpayers should be the voters in federal elections. Both those criteria illustrate basic competence.

If you couldn't find and hold a job, if you can't find a means to feed yourself beyond charity, if you are illiterate and unable to answer basic questions about our country and government, you are unlikely to make good decisions affecting the rest of us.

Vote for your state's officers if your state allows it, but no second or third or fourth generation parasite should have a vote in weighty matters they are not capable of understanding.

Nothing much has changed from this year. He's not that much into this job and has no friends to help him.

I am disgusted with those of you who think voting should only be allowed to those who work, pay federal income taxes, and own property. Should there be a government agency who handles this program? Or maybe just use the IRS to create another form far and away from their original mandate? Obama has already done that with his Obamacare monster. You are playing right into the hands.

#20, so you are sickened by a return to Constitutional principles?

Because it WAS only landowners who could vote way back when..........America was great.

And no, it wasn't ONLY 'white' ones.......the phrase is "Free Landowners"...since if you were an indentured servant or slave, AND OWNED PROPERTY(Oh, didn't know slaves owned land? Amazing what reading OLD books can do for you)it was thought that your owner/contract holder could influence your vote.

But hey, what we got now is working out SO well.........

National Review Hammers Gang
of Eight for Promoting Amnesty
Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston    Original Article
Posted By: KarenJ1- 6/19/2013 10:40:14 PM     Post Reply
In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Another likely Rubio whopper

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

Kaiser: Faith in Obamacare
plummets to just 35%
Washington Examiner, by Paul Bedard    Original Article

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Right rips Rubio as Republican
immigration votes slip away

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”
