| “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” — The Joker in “The Dark Knight” No one can continue to assert that President Obama is simply incompetent. Yes, he is indeed that. Into his fifth year as president, America is worse under his command: Millions are still out of work — unemployment stands exactly where it was the day he took office; millions more are on food stamps; and despite his claim otherwise, the U.S. is less respected

And wherever I go, no matter who I talk to, there is the same malaise as there was during the Carter years..even worse. People have lost the American Pride. The schools have failed miserably for the last 40 years. They have killed the American spirit. "These are the times that try men´s souls". This what it must have felt like to grow up in Moscow during the 50s.

Scary stuff. It has taken 4 years for the GOP to belatedly stand up to Obama and his fiscal follies while Obama and his Media minions have painted the GOP, in the minds of the general public, as the bad guys in this sad tale. The die is cast and is it too late to prevent the collapse of our (and the World´s) economies? It´s going to take some VERY strong backbone stiffening on the part of the GOP to stop this train wreck.

The World burns while the US has 2 parties feeding and fanning the flames. The Statists ie: Democrats and the Neo Statists ie: Republicans.
Who needs enemies when "The State" is against its own citizenry? You would think history (Rome anybody?) would be enough, but I suppose that would only apply if history was actually being taught anymore.
Liberalism and multiculturalism and PC (but I repeat myself) will be the end of civilized society.

Cloward/Piven - overwhelm the government with demands and promise it cannot deliver and after collapse, move in and pick up the pieces with your mob.
So far ir is working with the overwhelming demand part.

Obama doesn´t want to watch the entire world burn, just the United States, Israel, and any other nation with even a vestige of individual freedom left.
Obama certainly wants to see the Muslim Brotherhood succeed in resurrecting a worldwide Islamic Caliphate, especially if it results in millions of dead Jews....
....and he most certainly wants to see China and Russia succeed in supplanting the United States as economic and military world powers.
Hooray for despotism.
Hooray for Islamofascism.
Hooray for totalitarian Communism.
All hail Wise King Barky.

Obama and the msm will use the sequester to explain why the economy tanks later this year and blame the Republicans for it. The lo-fo votes will of course believe all the economic troubles are due to the sequester spending cuts by the Republicans no matter if it´s only pennies in comparison to the total spending budget. The msm has become the enemy within.

Unfortunately, it´s worse than that. He´s not merely satisfied with watching it burn, he´s pouring gasoline on it and tossing lit matches on it. The fact that this guy was again elected President of the United States is the most shocking act of stupidity I´ve ever seen in my lifetime.

Who would have ever thought that the more people that leave the workforce,the better the unemployment numbers are for the administrations.Even if you foolishly take Obama´s word on creating 6 million new jobs,there´s been at least 8 million jobs that are lost. So the real world unemployment is a lot worse than the media lapdogs report.
The only way Obama thinks the economy can be fixed is borrow trillions more from China to create make work government workers.
One of their ideas to fix climate change is for the government to underwrite the costs of buying people new "energy efficient" appliances. This idea might work to some degree if the appliances were still made in this country but a lot of that industry went to Mexico.Does anybody believe that GE would make appliances in this country?
Instead of these morons creating the conditions to insource jobs,they set up a slush fund for when union members lose their jobs that have gone overseas.Hostess jobs didn´t go overseas but they cashed in on this taxpayer funded slush fund anyway.

I wish that people were reminded daily of just how much a trillion is. G Gordon Liddy insisted ( back when we were just talking billions) that we understand how much that is. To that end he would always say " one thousand million dollars´ rather than ´ one billion´. I remember how helpful that was. If , whenever a person hears ´one trillion´ dollars, I think it would be helpful to be reminded that what we are actually talking about is this:
One million million dollars.

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. 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,”

The Obama administration took to the airwaves Sunday morning to call on Republicans to back the president’s plan for gun control. In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

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

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Sponsored by the Poynter journalism center and funded by the McCormick Foundation of Chicago, we gathered in a city that witnessed 506 homicides last year. The idea, I take it

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

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?”

Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.
