Obama: Love For The
Rich Unites Republicans

Breitbart´s Big Government, by Ben Shapiro

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/21/2013 10:34:28 PM

On Thursday, President Barack Obama doubled down on his usual tactic of bullying his opposition rather than negotiating with them. Speaking to race baiter extraordinaire and MSNBC host Al “Resist We Much” Sharpton, Obama explained that Republicans don’t oppose tax increases because they think it will hurt the economy, destroy jobs, and prevent investment in business. No, said our uniter president, they do it because they hate poor people and love the rich: My sense is that their basic view is that nothing is important enough to raise taxes on wealthy individuals or corporations, and they would rather see

Wow. So low, so insulting, so wrong. A horrible man. Most powerful in the world.

I have lived a long time, but never have seen such a disreputable president; at least Clinton lied about sex. Obama lies about everything and while he uses the rich as a whipping post, he consorts with them in the Hamptons and Los Angeles. On our aircraft dimes he vacations in Florida, Hawaii and his wife in Aspen in only the last three months. God help us if the American people allow him to manipulate them into hating the rich as well. Surely, they will eventually fold up their business along with the jobs they provide and move out of the country; some already have. President Obama, you are behaving disgracefully; in your dissembling you show your fellow Americans of all financial levels nothing but disrespect.

Everyone knows Republicans hate the poor and love the greedy white rich. They got rich by exploiting the poor of course. So whats the problem? He´s absolutely right.

This lying SOB said that doctors routinely do procedures that are not needed in order to over-bill patients. In other words, the lying sack of cattle dung accused doctors of being cheats and frauds.

That really cut deep as my best friend, who is a decent and honorable man, was accused of being a thief -- BY THE POTUS!

Now I am told that what unites my political party is love for the rich. REALLY? I´m not rich by any American standard. I´m not sure I am even close to middle middle-class and I know I am not UPPER middle-class.

At this point, all I can say to Obama is this: Go to hell. Seriously: Go to hell. I am done with you; you´re beyond redemption as a human being.

I´m talking about below the poverty line, and Barack actually spending quality time, you know like dinner over the pork and beans and watching TV with Mom and Dad. Yeah, I thought so. This man won´t even visit his Aunt and Uncle in this country or his Brother and relatives in Kenya. What a hypocrite!

AND, he spews this demagoguery in the company of that vicious thug Al Sharpton - a vile anti-Semite who TWICE incited mobs to commit murder. I can´t help but wonder if Obama will someday call on the ´Reverend´ to help him do that again, on a far greater scale. The government´s buying massive amounts of ammunition, which diminishes the supply available to citizens and prices it beyond the reach of some. And let´s not forget that "civilian national security force" - I´m sure His campaign´s data base could easily be used to recruit a People´s Liberation Militia pdq.

Obama and his media slaves know that "the rich" is a very effective smokescreen term. What it´s meant to cover is the respect and admiration actual Americans give to achievement and success. Democrats, on the other hand, find inspiration only in failure and dependency. The smokescreen words for that are "fairness" and a myriad concocted "rights". But Obama gets away with this abuse of English simply because Republicans demand absolutely no accountability. Instead, they reply only with a feeble "We want to help people, too!", as if eager to show the world that failure and dependency is bipartisan.


Reply 17 - Posted by: MissMoneypenny, 2/22/2013 3:04:04 AM     (No. 9190090)

No, Mr. President, it is not love of the rich, but hatred of and disgust with you and the entire democrat machine that was hijacked long ago by the Progressives that SHOULD unite the Republican party. Most of us in the Republican party are NOT rich, but we do love our freedoms, guaranteed to us by the Constitution, the document you wipe your feet on. I thought Carter was ridiculously bad, Clinton a joke, but you are beneath contempt.

the idiot and his idiot supporters think that the rich will just stand there and let themselves get screwed. the rich find a way to minimize the changes, and in the process, more workers are let go, turning more taxpayers into welfare recipients. we went through that in the 70s, it culminated with carter, the last time the nation seemed poised for irreversible decline.

the only way they can achieve their dystopia is to turn the nation into slaves to the government, and don´t put that past them. the real misanthrope here is Obama himself.

If it weren´t for the stonewalling and media coverup over Bengazi until after the election, he would have been deposed, and bwe would have a new person running the show.

The hardest part of all this is that the man is so undeserving. The man rules like a monarch or dictator and shoves crap in our faces with impunity--

Losing the election is one thing, but losing it to such an unworthy person who was elected with deception makes it even worse!

Mr. President, I would love to see a full accounting of how much of your personal money and your personal, volunteer time you have given to help the poor.

I would then compare it to mine. I´m pretty sure that I would win. And I´m a Republican.

Now, just who is it that doesn´t like the poor? Put your own money and unpaid time where your mouth is.

Thatcher a ‘fiercely loyal’
and tough ally of the U.S.
Washington Times, by Stephen Dinan    Original Article
Posted By: Dreadnought- 4/8/2013 11:11:22 PM     Post Reply
Margaret Thatcher captured Americans’ hearts and minds in a way few other foreign leaders have done, and much of that was because of the symbiotic relationship she had with President Reagan — a relationship that in many ways mirrored the storied “special” friendship between the two countries. Mrs. Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a tough-talking maverick who was bullish on the promise of the U.S. as a force on the international stage. Those traits appealed to Americans weary of the 1970s malaise and eager to hear reasons to believe in themselves. “She had the perfect balance between

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The Oil Boom Continues

Guess which country is the world’s largest oil producer. No, it’s not Saudi Arabia or Russia. It’s the United States, which passed Saudi Arabia in November of 2012, according to data from the federal Energy Information Administration and reported in Investors Business Daily. In 2012 American domestic output rose by an astonishing 800,000 barrels a day. That’s more than total oil production in such middling oil producers as Argentina, and the greatest single-year increase in the United States since Edwin Drake drilled the first well in 1859. That has consequences far beyond the oil patches

“UNLESS WE change our ways and our direction, our greatness as a nation will soon be a footnote in the history books, a distant memory of an offshore island, lost in the mists of time like Camelot, remembered kindly for its noble past.” Margaret Thatcher, never given to understatement, presented that grim vision for Britain in 1979, the year she became prime minister. Then, for the next 11½ years — almost as long as three U.S. presidential terms — she worked with fierce determination and unrelenting stubbornness to dispel it

On guns, 45 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove, the poll found. In January, 46 percent approved and 49 percent dispproved. And on the deficit, 38 percent approve

But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

President Obama won rare foreign policy praise from Republicans for his administration’s handling of the North Korea crisis, as China signaled a possible readiness to play a more active role in pressuring Pyongyang away from provoking a military conflict. Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

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.
