The great handout society
New York Daily News, by Andrea Tantaros

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 11/9/2012 5:50:31 AM

The verdict is in: After over a year of what seemed like an endless campaign of attack ads, debates and dirty politics, the country re-elected President Obama to a second term. (Snip) Obama all but bought Ohio and secured Michigan with the $25 billion auto bailout. The biggest portion of the almost trillion-dollar stimulus went mostly to create dependents through expanded Medicaid, more food stamps and the hiring of more state government workers — with little to show for it from an economic growth standpoint. Obama has created a new paradigm in America: dependency politics.

The freebie and "gimme" society won. Obama has made begging eloquent. There is no more shame in free sex and free anything. Our side is being shamed into thinking we have to think like them. They are literally trying to take down the work ethic and our faith in God.

I'm here to tell you that I will not give into their thinking. I will not be shamed into thinking that I should feel guilty for what I do or have.

More evidence that political solutions are no longer viable. We have a moral and spiritual problem. Prayer is our answer, and with God's grace we will be able to discern what actions to take on the personal and community level.

Most people have no idea what Obama actually did to the automotive industry. He did not save them from bankruptcy. He forced them into it then literally stole GM from the bondholders and delivered half of it to the UAW. Suppliers were payed off pennies on the dollar. I was there. Chrysler was forced to sell off a controlling share to Fiat. They are no longer a US corporation and there are rumors of them moving their headquarters to Italy. GM in the meantime built a glut of cars that are sitting on dealership lots unsold. Oh well. No point in explaining it. No one cares.

If Allen West wins on recount then I will know for sure that the Dems cheated on election night. West was 2,000 ahead until a supervisor (Dem) counted the same votes and got West -2,500. So on re-hand count that West is insisting on, and he wins, then I will know for sure, somehow, someway, the Dems, not known for their honesty, stole the election. THINGS JUST DO NOT ADD UP! Do you really think George Soros and Axelrod would allow an honest election?? Seriously? A handout society or a fraud, almost as big a hoax as the radical foreign student in college who is the president!

I heard someone use the new term ''givernment''. I think that's appropriate now. The takers have overcome the makers - as Ann Coulter bemoaned the morning after with Laura Ingraham: We have reached the tipping point.

Time to Go Galt. Hubby and I did this 2 years ago, knowing 4 years ago that we probably would have to. We're under the radar now - we own nothing, our household income is a tiny fraction of what it was in 2010. By design. By design for self-preservation.

We had hoped to open another small business, but now, we wonder if we can. Or should. I'm a warrior by nature, hubby a warrior by force of circumstance. We'll do what we have to do, and plan for it to get worse. And we'll continue to weight the pros and cons of that new business.

At least there were no riots, right?

What do you get when you take 39% of whites, 100% of the blacks and 80% of the Latinos and Asians? Why the USSA of course, similar to any other "developing" nation around the world, rife with corruption, electoral fraud, redistributionist economic policies and media whores/ lap dogs compliant in the cover up. Get used to it. Or move to a red state and start taking the 10 amendment very, very seriously.

I will not let Barack Obama and his multitude of unquestioning followers to force me into submission. On Wednesday morning, I was as depressed as I have ever been in my life, but I felt better yesterday and am even more emotionally strong today. We will survive this. In WWII France, I would have been a member of the Maqui. In 2012 America, I will fight, legally, openly and aggressively to hold on to our country. There is another election in two years. We must be ready for it. In four years, we will change this. The Dems will not have the head start advantage of Obama's race in 2016, but we can't assume anything. We have to match Axelrod's superb ground game and avoid ugly primary battles that leave not the best standing, but the least wounded.

We can do it. Keep the faith and don't despair.

I'm still having a difficult time in accepting the fact that such ignorance exists among American citizens .... especially those who vote left because they 'were raised that way.' None bother to question today's left by investigating what the Democrat Party has become nor have they any interest in knowing that their votes allow the laws of this land to become void.
.... I have to assume that such voters believe that only 'evil rich white guys' will suffer the consequences of this president's plots.

I now fully expect, in continuation of following the Hugo Chavez plan, that Obama will convert America into a dictatorship, ridding this country of it's electoral process entirely.
.... Many of us were very stupid to believe that Hispanics came to America to be free of tyranny.

Anybody know if the House (Boehner, Issa) can't demand review of the Federal Election Commission?? Impound some voting machines used in battleground states, then publish the software that counts the votes?????????

It is hard to believe that people are willing to live on welfare and foodstamps. What kind of life is that?

I believe we'll see a whole different set of circumstances in 2016 if the dems put up a white candidate as their nominee. You'll see those 47%'rs sitting that one out.

We need to focus on snatching 6 Senate seats to get the majority in both houses in 2014.

An L-dotter offered a link (previous article) to the Census info. I garnered that there are now 50 million Hispanics in this country since the 1990 count. Also, childhood is now considered to stretch to age 30. With these demographics of an ignorant and immature voting mass, a party other than the Demonrat party has no chance of winning anything.

The Democrats´ lost decade?
Politico, by Alex Isenstadt    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 6/19/2013 3:36:06 PM     Post Reply
Democrats fell far short of winning the House in 2012, an otherwise banner year for the party, and many are privately glum about taking back the chamber in 2014. But that grim immediate outlook raises a far more troubling longer-term prospect for Democrats: that the newly drawn congressional lines have tilted the electoral playing field so decisively in the GOP’s favor that the party could control the House through 2020. That this, in other words, could be the Democrats’ Lost Decade. Three of the past four elections have produced partisan upheaval, so political forecasting must be approached with caution.

Men´s Wearhouse no longer likes the way George Zimmer looks. Zimmer, the founder, chairman and the public face of the discount apparel chain, has been terminated by the company, according to a brief statement from the company. Men´s Wearhouse gave no reason for Zimmer´s departure -- which surfaced on Wednesday, just hours before the company postponed its annual shareholders meeting. A company spokesman declined comment but said Zimmer´s departure would not affect operations.

Obama to Charlie Rose, yesterday: I’ve stood up a privacy and civil liberties oversight board made up of independent citizens, including some fierce civil libertarians. I’ll be meeting with them and what I want to do is to set up and structure a national conversation not only about these two programs but also about the general problem of these big data sets because this is not going to be restricted to government entities. The board Obama is referring to was created in 2004. Nominations and confirmation delays prevented the board from being particularly effective,

Obama never fails to enlist children in his secularist crusades, whether at home or abroad. Last week he trotted out two nine-year-old girls to introduce him at a White House event celebrating “LGBT Pride Month.” “We could not be prouder of Zea and Luna for the introduction,” he said. “Zea and Luna are here with their moms, and also I think with Grandma and Grandpa — correct? And so feel free to congratulate them afterwards for their outstanding introduction.” Zea and Luna proved useful to Obama not only as props for LGBT rights but also as mouthpieces for his gun-control agenda:

With dozens of Democratic lawmakers struggling to live on a food stamp budget to protest GOP cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a Republican staffer says he is living on a SNAP budget without problems. Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman’s communications director and agriculture policy advisor, Donny Ferguson, says he has been able to eat well on $27.58 for a week, less than the $31.50 House Democrats have limited themselves to for their “SNAP Challenge.” “I wanted to personally experience the effects of the proposed cuts to food stamps. I didn’t plan ahead or buy strategically,

The ongoing saga of Edward Snowden has at least been moving in the right direction for President Obama. Snowden may once have tried to position himself as a whistleblower, but he has since devolved into ingratiating himself with authoritarian regimes by plying them with American national security secrets. While Pete is correct that the NSA story seems to be hurting voters’ opinion of Obama’s trustworthiness, Americans are by now realizing that they would be foolish to go the other extreme and place that trust in Snowden. It is also (understandably) distracting the public’s attention from the scandals that preceded it,

In two contexts the Obama administration has revealed its complete confusion about high-stakes negotiations and the interrelation of soft and hard power. In Syria, after dragging his feet for two years, trying to fudge over his own “red line” and coming up with a half-hearted move to give small arms to the rebels, President Obama discovers that he can’t budge Russia, which has backed Bashar al-Assad to the hilt. The Post reports that at the Group of 8 summit: Obama has demanded that Assad relinquish power as part of any negotiated peace settlement, a condition Putin rejects.

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.

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

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,"

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

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
