Email tells feds to
make sequester as
painful as promised

Washington Times, by Stephen Dinan

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 3/5/2013 5:16:09 PM

The Obama administration denied an appeal for flexibility in lessening the sequester’s effects, with an email this week appearing to show officials in Washington that because they already had promised the cuts would be devastating, they now have to follow through on that. In the email sent Monday by Charles Brown, an official with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service office in Raleigh, N.C., Mr. Brown asked “if there was any latitude” in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen

Now, honestly, what sort of President wants to inflict as much pain on citizens as he can to get what he wants? Is this what his voters bargained for? This fake "leader," in any other age, would be impeached and hounded out of Washington.

I say fight fire with fire. As long as Obama wants to inflict pain on Americans because he didn´t get his way, then deny him any funds to take his vacations with. After all, Obama squanders taxpayers money to fund all his luxurious vacations with so far.

What kind of president wants to inflict pain on America you ask? A marxist liberal democrat for one thing. The liberal idiots currently running Oregon into the ground have the same attitude when they are prevented by the voters from getting their way. It is truly dispicable behaviour.

I grew up with the idea that it was not good to hate anyone, that such feelings were destructive to oneself. So I despise these people with every fiber of my being.

Obama is quickly losing the people and the media on this one. It is mostly a non-story and as one liberal said, the worst thing that could happen is if this doesn´t cause the pain they predicted. Obama lied completely about every bit of it so now the hapless political hacks that work for him are forced to make fools of themselves trying to find ways to punish us. Bring it.

The sequester is a token and not really a cut. How about putting a provision in the continuing resolution that all funding is removed from implementing the costly, wasteful, Obamacare entitlement which would bankrupt the nation even IF it were in a sound financial position from the start. This would also save a bundle in court costs fighting the unconstitutional contraceptive mandate in Obamacare. Here is a cut that would give an immediate benefit far greater than any pain Obama could make up from the sequester cuts.

One has to wonder if Mister man-child vendetta has an idea how cutting off tours to the White House makes him look even more like a Police state dictator? It´s almost certain that Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, etc didn´t let just anyone come around willy nilly for a silly/risky tour either: Too many citizens had reasons for a grudge, just like bamster.

Seems the White House is contacting all state democrats that hold offices to pass on their scare tactics. Just yesterday in our local Salisbury, NC news paper, it was reported N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler (democrat)is worried that across-the-board federal spending cuts required by Washington could slow meat inspections at North Carolina slaughterhouses and hurt farmers and chicken, beef and bacon consumers.
When I read it, I assumed someone in the White House had shoved their hand up Trexler´s butt and was moving his mouth.

If Obama was smart, he could use the sequester to further his anti-gun agenda by: 1) cancelling all pending ammunition purchases by federal agencies, particularly the ones for hollow-point bullets that only have one purpose – to kill, and 2) since he is absolutely certain that no one needs to protect them self with a gun – eliminating the Secret Service. He could use some of the savings from these 2 cuts to re-open the White House to visitors as a “Gun-Free-Zone”. As an added bonus, putting his money where his mouth is might help him regain some of the credibility he lost due to his bogus sequester scare tactics.

At the rate we spend, wouldn´t $85 billion take about a week of cuts across the board of all agencies and programs?
I want to see where the actual cuts are and how much and how long they last.

Maryland girl is armed with

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,”

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. Lindsey Graham

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

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

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?”
