    We have for a long time suspected that President Obama is more interested in the ideological goal of “putting America in its place” than actual economic recovery. If that’s true, then Obama is succeeding on just about every measure.

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world’s 2nd largest economy.

    from Financial Times:

    The US is on the brink of losing its status as the world’s largest economy, and is likely to slip behind China this year, sooner than widely anticipated, according to the world’s leading statistical agencies.

    The US has been the global leader since overtaking the UK in 1872. Most economists previously thought China would pull ahead in 2019.

    Judge Jeanine: IMPEACH OBAMA

    ...In one of her most powerful statements, she says with Obama’s use of what happened at Benghazi to attack free speech, “Before our eyes, the terrorists become the victims and the American victims become irrelevant.”

    In true Judge Jeanine fashion, she holds nothing back as she calls for the impeachment of Barack Obama for dereliction of duty, stonewalling Congress, and caring more about his re-election than he did about protecting Americans....

    Early one morning, an elderly retired Navy fighter pilot yelled to his wife... "Honey! Come see what I created! It's an abstract panorama depicting the five years of the Obama presidency!"





    She yelled back, "Flush the toilet and come eat your breakfast."

    President Obama’s schedule during his trip this week to Los Angeles puts his selective moral outrage against wealth and hypocrisy on full display. On his seemingly non-stop campaign tour, Obama frequently uses Marxist based language to ‘spread the wealth around’ in order to fight the Marx invented class warfare based ‘income inequality’. He does this with a straight face while he and his family spends tens of millions of dollars on lavish vacations and elaborate parties. But, as history has shown us time and time again, “Socialism is not for the socialist.”...

    Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

    The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.
    He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.
    What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.
    Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
    It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.
    Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.
    Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior. He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

    And yet he got elected, not once but twice. Thanks to those who did not think it was important to vote for freedom and those who were willing to give up their freedoms for entitlements.
    Remember you don't have to be on a southern plantation to be a slave, if you are dependent on government entitlements you just have a different slave owner.

    The new and improved USA :

    "The High Court refused to hear an appeal filed by Chris Hedges and several other activists challenging a provision of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act under which the president can order the indefinite military detention – without trial or legal recourse — of any U.S. citizen he regards as an enemy of the state.

    That provision was struck down as unconstitutional by US District Judge Katherine Forrest, who ruled that it could lead to the seizure and imprisonment of people who exercised rights supposedly protected by the First Amendment. As is their habit, the executive branch’s legal minions greeted that ruling with an indifferent shrug and filed an appeal before a more complaisant federal judge, who ruled that no citizen has legal standing to challenge the NDAA. That ruling was left undisturbed by the Supreme Court.

    As a result, summarizes progressive commentator Thom Hartman, the military “now has the power to label us terrorists, capture us, lock us up in jail, and hold us there without any regard for our Constitutional rights to due process or a fair trial.”"

  9. So... we lose our right to Habeas Corpus at somebody's whim...

    And a father gets arrested for objecting to his 9th grade daughter being REQUIRED to read pornographic material in a school assignment.

    More and more, we're becoming a POLICE STATE thanks to Odumbo, Hillary, Reid, Pelosi, Holder and other Progressives before them.

    How long will it be before the government police start hauling Conservatives out of their homes in the middle of the night and putting a bullet behind the ear??

    :mad:

  10. I agree about the police state comment but to blame it on the democrats is idiotic, scat you're batshit crazy, smart but crazy. Come to the far right run state of Texas, we're as police state as any and run by tea party type people. The people in power on both sides are responsible for the police state we are becoming.
