| American Prospect editor Harold Meyerson writes in today’s Washington Post: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change we seek,” candidate Barack Obama said in 2008. At the time, his comments came in for criticism: They were narcissistic; they were tautological; they didn’t make a whole lot of sense. But in the aftermath of Obama’s 2012 reelection and his second inaugural address, his 2008 remarks seem less a statement of self-absorption than one of prophecy. There is an Obama majority in American politics, symbolized by Monday’s throng on the Mall, whose existence

I have watched the CPUSA website for many years. I remember when they decided that "communist" had a negative attached to it, and so they decided to call themselves "progressives" because it was more positive sounding. HOW many times has progressive spewed out of the mouths of Pelosi, Clinton, Obama, Reid, Biden?? They are telling us what they are.

Will the Dems survive Obama? The wrong question is asked. Will the Dems survive themselves and their support of baby-killing and endorsement of abnormal marriages. The answer is No.

Once you accept the fact that Obama is the centerpiece of a cult of personality the whole political picture starts to come inmto focus. And the author is correct, never in history has a cult of personality survived past the demise of its central figure.
The death of Stalin was only overcome by an even more tyranical clampdown by government, which completed the collapse of the economy and eventually the break up of the Soviet Union.
Mussolini and Hitler entered into a devastating war, both ended up dead and the very utterance of their once popular political system has become anathema. Ex Soviets and both Italians and Germans who survived and/or escaped these personality cults often describe the process as an awakening, and look back on their own behaviour in a kind of bewilderment. How could I have been such a dupe? is an oft unsaid rhetorical question.
Those eample have one other universal consequence, the countries themselves did not survive the personality cult either, at least not in any recognizeable form.
Will America be any different? Stalin ruled for two generations, Mussolini for 19 years and Hitler for 12. Our cult nightmare is limited to eight years by law, will that be enough to save us?

Of course they will survive, and thrive as long as hand-outs persist. Cockroaches have been around for more than 140 million years.

What´s in a name? ...The democrat party has already been usurped and corrupted by the tenured ´60s-´70s radical statist militants. Surely these usurpers can think of another more appropriate name for their party, -word-spinners that they are!
Maybe others could make suggestions more descriptive, perhaps something along the lines using 0bama´s own stated reason to vote for him in the last election, ´´The Revenge Party?´´ Or maybe the, ´´Den of Thieves Party?´´ What about, ´´The Cult of 0bama?´´ ....Surely someone can appropriately rename the current leftist dem pols´ party.

Remember that Obama won with less than 52% of the vote. Considering decades of liberal media propaganda, collge campus propaganda, a sitting president advantage and hundreds of billions in entitlement handouts, it was a terrible showing. Everyone accepts that a stonger Republican candidate could have easily won. A majority of the country including many Democrats realize that Obama is ineffective and his policies are counter to the American experience. Unfortunately they backed a second rate fellow and but had no choice to soldier on with a stiff upper lip. Ironically the Republicans may be losers in politics but they are winners in life. They have the values and qualities to achieve even greater success when competing in our watered down entitlement society. Liberal Democrats just don´t get it.

Wouldn´t it be great if power was returned to the States and the National Government was greatly diminished? Much easier to keep Demonrats in line at the local level.

In 2007, then Senator Barack Obama appeared on CNN´s Larry King Live and called on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign. Obama said Gonzales was acting more like the president´s attorney than the people´s attorney and viewed himself as an "enabler of the administration." "Well, I voted against Alberto Gonzales confirmation for precisely the reason we are seeing now. I said this on the floor of the senate, that although he seemed to be a capable attorney, he seemed to conceive his role as being the president´s attorney instead of being the people´s attorney," Obama said.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them.

The way to prevent abortionists like convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell from occurring again is to build more Planned Parenthood clinics, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Thursday about legislation that would prevent abortion after 20 weeks nationwide. “I would urge my colleagues to think about the extent to which he, Dr. Gosnell, represented the poor quality of health care services available in poorer communities,” Nadler said at the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice hearing. “We should be working to make sure that high quality

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead. The Ohio Republican and his top lieutenants in the party issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote this week, and to stake out a House GOP position. “While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which

During friendly questioning from Rep. Hank “I fear that Guam will capsize!” Johnson in Congress last week, Attorney General Eric Holder offered the following statement. In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. He made that statement before the facts about the sweep on Fox News’ James Rosen were known. Since then, it’s come to light that Holder himself approved the subpoena that, among other things, named Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator.

As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and you’ll find a tyrant underneath. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is but the latest example. He shoved a very restrictive and ill-considered gun law through the state legislature in the dead of night. Among its flaws, the law criminalized police officers who tote firearms with magazines that hold more than seven rounds. Sheriffs around the state have objected to the law. Cuomo summoned them to the state capitol under what appears to be a false pretext, and used the meeting to threaten them into silence. Cuomo invited

The National Council of La Raza (translation: The Race) has partnered with the Office of Personnel Management to encourage Hispanic activists and members to burrow into the federal government. A workshop sponsored by La Raza/The Race will take place in New Orleans on July 23, 2013. Senior Executive Service (SES) employees are federal government employees in special executive management positions, often with salaries approaching $200,000 per year (and well past that with benefits). OPM, a federal government agency, is cooperating and partnering

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”
