The State of Our Union
Rendered in a
Fractured Bizarro Lens

PJ Media, by Bryan Preston

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 2/13/2013 4:33:17 AM

The state of our union is weak and fraying. This president has launched attacks on faith and is going out of his way to divide our people. Our economy is not growing, it contracted in the final quarter of 2012. Our economy is not growing jobs. On the international front, North Korea greeted President Obama’s 2013 rendition of Give Me More Money with a nuclear test — a sure sign that his strategy of engagement, which his soon-to-be defense secretary supports, is a failure.(Snip)Barack Obama is the absurd president. He makes no attempt to make any sense,

"He makes no attempt to make any sense" - Nutshell, meet nut. And the reason King Barack doesn´t even try is precisely because his ignorant supporters do not want to hear nor have to deal with any kind of sense, common or uncommon. They desire only the meaningless blather of political correctness, that ultimate revenge on reason, effort, good judgment and clarity. The Celebration of Ignorance - the Obama "presidency" - continues on, all blinders securely in place.

Obama should be subjected to a no confidence vote by the American people and him and cabal of Chico thugs sent packing along with him.

Obama´s economic policies have been the biggest colossal failure in out life time and he blows it off as unfinished business.

This means that in order for the economy to recover,it has to have a compete government takeover.The problem is people who support this fantasy really don´t want to work,leaving no one to carry out the day to day business in this country.

Even if you paid these slugs $20 an hour to drive a tractor trailer,chances are the cargo would be stolen or robbed.

And who exactly was surprised by anything in the article or the speech? Look at the last 4 years and all of his previous politics.

My biggest concern is that he was re-elected. The electorate is either selfish or stupid or both.

Surprise! Surprise! America!...So what did we expect last night from this undocumented, professional Marxist agitator from the mean streets of The Windy City´s South Side...who has never held a regular job in the private sector, to include managing a corner candy store or even a McDonald´s milkshake machine, never served a day in America´s Armed Services, associates with notorious domestic terrorists and suffers from a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder?

Thank you for confirming what I expected. I didn´t listen to the speech because Fauxbama has contradicted himself so many times that his words are meaningless.


Reply 7 - Posted by: PoliticalJunky, 2/13/2013 7:45:30 AM     (No. 9173628)

Oh, but we connect with him emotionally and he cares about us.

He was reelected for the above reasons even though, as a recent poll shows, the people disagreed with every principle he holds.

This is an excellent article. Everyone should read!

Some of my favorite lines from the article...
"Reality never seems to intrude on this president’s world. He has his ideology and he is sticking to it." AMEN!
"America, you were warned but you re-elected him anyway. And that’s the state of our union." and AMEN!

#3, with due respect, we had a "confidence" vote in Nov. We must all live with this horrible mistake for the next 4 years. Maybe then, and I have my doubts, we will unite and defeat leftism that is killing our constitution and nation.

Did not watch. What difference does it make? Even our comments on Lucianne are a way for us to vent our frustration and disgust. We do not or cannot change anything, now.

Anything Zip says is a waste of breath. He will act by EO and do whatever he wants, and no one in Congress or the Senate will do a darn thing. Absolutely, nothing.

Americans are in jeopardy of having this tyrant take over, and again, no one is trying or can stop him. Bad times.

I chose not to watch for all the reasons cited here plus I couldn´t stand to see one more photo op of "Gabby" Giffords holding hands with her husband and of course, the Newtown parents.

I drive by Arlington Cemetery everyday on my way to work and everyday a tear wells up in my eye - for this "state" of the union?

Really, I would have watched the SOTU speech but I couldn´t force myself to do it. It would have been like watching the Chris Dorner of American presidents hunkered down in a shootout with reality as the Constitution and our economy burned down all around him...but without the same happy ending. Someday when forensic historians dig through the ashes of our charred country, perhaps they´ll discover the reasons for the madness that drove him to do it...and also drove so many others to cheer him on as he fired away.

The best way to bamboozle a nation is to hi-jack their common language by twisting the meaning of words and promoting big lies.
If we were still an educated nation, Obama would have been tossed out in last November´s election like the incompetent Carter was in 1980.
But we are no longer an educated nation. Decades of dumbing down has produced an electorate eager to be taken care of and anxious to believe. Obama´s the perfect culmination of our demise.

"This is an excellent article. Everyone should read!"

Why? Did Obama say something new? Was there something you didn´t already know? I don´t need to read a rehash of his performance for the past 4 years - and what we have to look forward to for the next 4.

I can´t listen to him or critics any longer - it´s the same thing day-after-day. I´m just trying to live through it.

There will always be enemies of this nation and freedom. The problem is not Obama, as bad as he is, it is the people who are willingly giving up their freedom to have him "fundamentally transform" this nation. And a Congress who sits by watching violation after violation of our fundamental constitution be violated. Where is the line that will be crossed saying this is too much?

The democrats bring illegals to the SOTU, which is against the law because they have no SS numbers...and irony of all,,,O´s SS is in question. And I don´t trust the legal immigrants either, who come here with prejudice to vote for big government,,,,since that is their background. Legal immigrants do not vote for Republicans.
I am at least encouraged a little with Boehner´s expression which seemed to say ´I have had enough´.

I watched the dog show too and was horrified at the choice for best in show. The wire-haired pointer, the fox hound, the smooth coat terrier and the sheepdog were all gorgeous. That little ratty black thing that won - what was that? It certainly wasn´t a dog. Still, it beat the he!! out of watching the snake oil sale at the Capitol.

An excellent piece, rendered cogent by its use of crisp, short, logical, clear sentences.

It’s all absurd. Barack Obama is the absurd president. He makes no attempt to make any sense, yet the media will pretend that he is a visionary. The reality is, Barack Obama is just a very powerful crank.

In short, he is drunk with power and doesn´t really care whom he hurts so long as his bizarre wishes get carried out.

He hits you with one hand, then wants you to help him with the other.

Dogs who get beaten but fed by an abusive owner, fawn obsequiously over the owner every time the owner comes back to feed the dog. Obama & Co. are abusive dog owners and American liberal are the beaten dogs. He keeps hurting them, but passing out free stuff. Then the liberals come back for more, licking his hand in submission.

It´s sick.

Bingo # 22, bingo. In my view, there isn´t an opposition party in Washington. They are all bureaucrats that only want to feather their own nest and damn what happens to the country in the meantime. The majority of them come to Washington with nothing and retire with millions. But money can´t buy their vote? Sarcasm intended. What ever happened to the checks and balances of our three divisions of government? Does anyone in government really care about the Constitution anymore?

Raising the minimum wage is such a demagogic piece of foolery. What else can he possibly do to increase unemployment? Now, if you want a "liveable" wage, you can do what Nixon suggested, a "negative income tax," basically a guaranteed minimum income, paid for by government, not employers, or work within the EIC. No. This isn´t sophisticated economics. Again he´s either an idiot, purposively destructive of the U.S., or both.

I remember learning about Checks and Balances in government class, and thinking how it would protect the people and the government.

I went to Sams Club shopping on Monday and Tuesday this week. On both days I observed two seperate black families paying for their boatload of groceries with their Welfare Bridge Cards. They all wore very happy faces as they got their government freebies.
When I consider the above mentioned I know why Obama got reelected and I know why he said what he did yesterday. All of his welfare serfs have got his back and he can say and do whatever he wishes without the fear of any repercussions at all.

FOX/Bing did a good thing last night by allowing viewers to record their reactions to the speech. 12.9 million people checked in. The overall reaction to the speech was negative hitting over 70% negative when 0 talked about climate change and gun control. I was surprised that voters identified as Democrat didn’t like the speech either although they weren’t quite as negative as were Republicans and Independents. Fact is people didn’t buy what 0 was selling last night.

Barry the Bungler will meet his first real resistance when obamacare kicks in and the people will be forced to pay for substandard healthcare and not be able to pay the premiums let alone the deductibles. The IRS will meet massive resistance to the fine known as a "tax" on tax returns. Young, healthy people will say "screw it" to any medical insurance. Then there will be more colorful resistance when the various attempted gun grabs begin.

Since congress still won´t work up the courage, the people will start a movement to remove obama by "executive order." At that point we will get our first glimpse of ugly.

Excellent article, but I´ll differ with Preston on this: if you view Emperor NerØbama as a demonic intruder out to destroy this nation, then he is very, very "coherent". Remember that the devil is the father of lies (see Jn 8:44). In that light, our Dear Leader is not "incoherent" - he is simply a liar.

Obama said, "What I´m about to suggest won´t cost a dime." He then listed I don´t know how many things that clearly would.

Perhaps congress should pass a bill authorizing all of it, with a collective budget of 9 cents.

2 million votes separated us from this monster-in-chief. I say 2 because he won by 3. If 2mil of those "votes" had gone the other way, we could´ve saved this country. I personally believe those were manufactured, but if more had shown up on the GOP side to offset them . . . sigh . . .

Bizarro about sums it up for me.

#42, "Obama said, ´What I´m about to suggest won´t cost a dime´."

President Obama was playing with the English language. He was telling the truth when he said that his suggestions, "won´t cost a dime". They won´t cost ´a dime´ - they will cost trillions of dimes.

Excellent article by Mr. Preston. It was difficult to choose just one but for me the most chilling observation came in this paragraph:
"His actions amount to a hacking of the US.. Constitution. Under our system, the two houses of Congress serve as checks on each other, and together, they serve as checks on the president’s power, and the three branches check and balance one another. But this president has the Senate in his back pocket through its leader, Sen. Harry Reid. Reid renders Obama impervious to congressional and court action against him. Thus, when his recess appointments were judged illegal by the courts, he simply ignored the courts. Harry Reid has his back."

Better to listen to the authentic, ´state of the union,´ as communicated in the recent heartfelt speeches by Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Rubio and Sen. Rand Paul rather than the theatrical scripted one last night by 0bama, and rendered through his, ´´fractured bizzarro lens!´´

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room on Tuesday evening where he was asked to respond to former Vice President Dick Cheney who told Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace that the junior Kentucky senator was wrong when he criticized the NSA’s surveillance programs. Paul tore into the Bush administration’s role in the establishment of the post-9/11 security regime, noting that he thinks it is possible to catch terrorists using methods consistent with the Constitution. Cheney told the Fox News Sunday host that Paul was incorrect in his criticisms of the NSA’s communications monitoring programs.

Hi. My name is Landon and I will be saying a few things while Jim is away this week. Please follow me on twitter – @orwellforce – to see me say more things. Here is the first thing: Last week when Hillary Clinton unveiled her focus-grouped-within-an-inch-of-its-life twitter bio, there was a glaring omission: Coo coo pants conspiracy nut. She has been instrumental in nearly every major political conspiracy theory for the past 15 years. Back in 1998 when it came out that her husband was doing some hardcore, Presidential-level chubby chasing, Hillary knew that it went much deeper (no pun intended).

Romney´s Revenge

During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney maintained that the health-reform law he signed in Massachusetts was not the same as Obamacare. “Our plan was a state solution to a state problem,” Governor Romney insisted. He was trying to fix Massachusetts’ uniquely broken insurance market, he said;(Snip) The best way to think about Romneycare is on a left-right scale of 1 to 10. If 10 is a libertarian utopia, and 1 is a left-wing dystopia, Governor Romney moved Massachusetts’ individual health-insurance market from a 2 to a 4. That is, it moved that market modestly to the right.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry extolled the tax policies and regulatory climate of his state as he courted gun manufacturers that have threatened to leave Connecticut since the state passed new gun-control laws in response to the Newtown school massacre. Perry shot at a firing range at Connecticut´s venerable Colt Manufacturing Co., one of the plants he toured, and met privately with company owners and other businesses at a downtown Hartford restaurant. At a brief news conference afterward, the Republican offered a conservative policy blueprint in a state run by Democrats.

Los Angeles- The greatest free agent the New York Yankees ever failed to sign was a skinny redhead from the Bronx. He spent two years as an outfielder on his college team, hit only one home run and never played again. And he ended up in the Hall of Fame. Today, Vin Scully is the voice and face of the Los Angeles Dodgers. At age 85, he´s in his 64th consecutive season as the team´s play-by-play announcer, a record streak for a broadcaster with one team. He is widely regarded as the greatest sportscaster of all time.

DHS hopes to get same

Daily Caller, by Josh Peterson    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 6/18/2013 6:01:20 AM     Post Reply
Domestic spying capabilities used by the National Security Agency to collect massive amounts of data on American citizens could soon be available to the Department of Homeland Security — a bureaucracy with the power to arrest citizens that is not subject to limitations imposed on the NSA. Unlike the DHS, the NSA is an intelligence agency, not a domestic law enforcement agency. It cannot arrest those suspected of wrongdoing. That power of the federal government lies with agencies under the jurisdiction of the Justice Department, the Treasury, Homeland Security and other law enforcement agencies.

LONDON — Germany is normally a welcoming place for American leaders. But President Barack Obama will walk into a German storm Tuesday provoked by revelations about the Prism and Boundless Informant (who comes up with these names?) surveillance programs of the U.S. National Security Agency. No nation, after the Nazis and the Stasi, has such intense feelings about personal privacy as Germany. The very word “Datenschutz,” or data protection, is a revered one. The notion that the United States has been able to access the e-mails or Facebook accounts or Skype conversations of German citizens

Edward Snowden Is In The

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

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

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.
