Dems finally go bonkers
New York Post, by Michael Goodwin

Original Article

Posted By:Oblio, 10/14/2012 8:42:34 AM

After enduring three days of outlandish claims and grievances about American life at the Charlotte convention, I wrote that “something shocking is happening to the Democratic Party.” Five weeks later, I must amend the observation. The soul-sapping transformation is no longer “happening.” It is complete.The Democratic Party has lost its mind and its way. Its political philosophy of inclusion and progress has been consumed by virulent strains of anger, dishonesty and intolerance. Its leaders don’t just want to win an election; they want to silence any American who disagrees with them.

George Clooney, one of the top useful idiots says openly that the 1st. amendment is "unfortunate". How creepy and scary is that?

Demonrats are pushing more and more to deny free speech to anyone who is not on the plantation. The question is, why do the legacy Demonrats, the older folks that is, think this is ok? The ones from the Greatest Generation who fought to preserve freedom and free speech for Americans, now want to deny it. Just does not make sense.

Obama’s speech at the U.N. September 25, 2012, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." So if you think marrying a 9 year old is wrong, Obama believes you should not have a future. Typical dem diversity.

What's interesting is that successful blacks and Hollywood types are high on Obama's hit list too. It's not just the middle class who will suffer the abuse of Democrats Unhinged.
.... Consider the taxes which will cripple Hollywood's high-earning stars, producers and directors. Imagine the tax horrors to be thrust upon unsuspecting athletes of MLB, the NFL and NBA.

For a while now I have rejected the slogan that Obama wanted to give us a nice European Socialist model, no he doesn't. He wants to give us a hard Stalinist, Mao, Castro, Chavez, model. Complete with disinformation campaigns, shout down of the opposition and if they can turn a few more corners down the the Socialist/Marxist path Secret Police knocking on the doors of so-called counter revolutionaries. And with a MSM Media acting like the Old Pravda the Democrats may achieve their true goals. This election may be our last hope. Wonder what government agency is monitoring LUCIANNE, right now?

I agree with Mr Goodwin. I think the Dems lack of respect for any who disagree with them was on full display at their convention with that floor vote to amend the platform. Who made that decision? It certainly wasn't the delegates. They resoundingly rejected it, but it was passed anyway. Again, who made the decision? The "powers that be" were willing to go through the motions of giving the delegates a "vote", but when it didn't turn out the way they wanted, they did it thier way anyway. That showed me that they don't respect the elective process and explains thier position on voter ID.

The democrat party never had anything to offer real Americans. Perhaps to those who never were proud of their country and settled for free cheese.

Now it's the party of free phones and virtual bread and soup lines by way of food stamps.

Another bit of evidence is what has happened to blacks under Obama. He promised them reparations and a free ride from here on out. They actually believed him. What do they have 4 years later? Their society is falling apart due to gangs, hip hop music, drugs, unemployment and a lying Pied Piper in the White House. Add to the mix that Obama blames white people, all the way back to Columbus, for crimes against people of color and you get this new kind of Democrat. (warning, profanity laced)...

No offense, Michael, but we haven't "been in Kansas" for a lot longer than 5 weeks.

If anything, what's been happening is that the visceral hate in hard-core Dems has been spreading to more and more Dems, and being shown far more openly and explicitly. And the Left-media is blatantly on board with it.

No more pretense.

Dems “finally” go bonkers? No way! They reached bonkers years ago. Now they’re salivating with the expectation of Obama winning reelection in order for him to embark upon his “Flexibility” era.

Remember BHO’s not so secret, whispered promise to the President of Russia, on that unexpectedly open mic, that he would be more “Flexible” in his second term? Obama is very big on whispering, saying things he doesn’t mean, breaking promises, doing the exact opposite of what he said he would do, telling lies to cheering crowds at fundraisers and basically possessing the integrity and trustworthiness of a rattlesnake. And there are people with opposable thumbs and a hat-size IQ who will actually vote for another four-year go-around with him in charge?

Feel like reminiscing? Bonkers were the good ol’ days!

An Indiana couple is accused of bilking hundreds of customers by charging for free trials of cosmetic products. A financial manager in Texas promises 23-percent returns but absconds with $33.5 million of his investors’ money in a classic Ponzi scheme.All three cases have one thing in common: money that ended up in offshore accounts and trusts set up in tax havens around the world.

After lengthy investigations, the Pentagon has determined that three Army generals committed misconduct in separate incidents, adding to an unusually long list of senior military commanders who have been censured over the past year.On Friday, defense officials confirmed that Army Maj. Gen. Ralph O. Baker, the commander of a strategic counterterrorism force on the Horn of Africa, was fired March 28 on charges of sexual misconduct. Two officials familiar with the case said Baker was investigated for allegedly groping a female civilian employee after he had been drinking.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Political scientist Charles Murray has never backed away from controversy, but usually his opponents have been liberals. Friday, however, he managed to upset conservatives at the annual conference known as CPAC, where thousands of bewildered Republicans gathered to figure out the way forward after their party’s 2012 electoral defeat. Murray ditched his prepared remarks on “America Coming Apart” in favor of an impromptu admonition to fellow conservatives to accept the legalization of both gay marriage and abortion.

With a Speech, Cardinal

VATICAN CITY—It took Jorge Mario Bergoglio four minutes to convince fellow cardinals he was their leader. Speaking in the Paul VI grand hall of the Vatican, the Argentine cardinal warned the Catholic Church against focusing too much on matters close to home—advice that came against the backdrop of a papacy that had been consumed by infighting among Vatican officials, a dwindling flock in Europe and secular trends in the West. The 76-year-old Father Jorge, as he is known back home, said Roman Catholicism needed to shift its focus outward, to the world beyond Rome—rather than being "self-referential," he said.

When President Obama gets to Jerusalem next week, one of the signals to listen for is an indication of what country he thinks he’s in. Normally this is clear when the President — any president — goes to the capital of a foreign country. He’s in whatever country the capital is capital of. But Mr. Obama has been refusing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Not only that, but he has been refusing to admit that Jerusalem is even in Israel.

Approaching his first presidential trip to Israel, President Obama offered a fresh and foolish — if not feckless — assessment of the Iranian nuclear threat. "Right now, we think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually deliver a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don’t want to cut it too close,” the President told an Israeli television interviewer, in the process cutting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu off at the knees and giving the mullahs breathing room to keep enriching uranium.

An unfortunate story on CBS New York Thursday carried this headline: "Officials: 80 Percent Of Recent NYC High School Graduates Cannot Read." It´s a shocker, but it´s also untrue.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
