Obama Regime Stonewalls America – More Lies, More Corruption

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:29:00 +0000

UPDATE 5/15/13 from Fox News:
President Obama says Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has requested and received the resignation of acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller, after critical report on targeting of conservative groups.

One down....

****

The lies and distortions continue from the dishonorable and corrupt Barack Obama "regime.". Almost every day there are new revelations as to when and how the Progressive Socialists in power failed to act to save American lives in Benghazi, used their power and authority to infringe on the personal freedoms of the American people, and then lied to cover it all up.

These terrible deeds must result in people being fired - if not jailed - for what they have done in Barack Obama’s name. Eric Holder should be fired and prosecuted if he violated the Constitution. IRS Deputy Commissioner Steven Miller (who has temporarily replaced Douglas Shulman whose term ended in 2012) should be fired and prosecuted if he violated the Constitution. Hillary Clinton should never hold public office again (and should be prosecuted if she broke any laws.)

Finally, Barack Obama’s leadership failure has led to the corruption in the Justice Department, the IRS and the State Department. He should resign – but won’t. If he approved the abandoning of the Americans killed in Benghazi, and if he approved of the violations of the Constitutional rights of Americans by the IRS and the Justice Department, then he should be impeached and tossed like a pile of old clothes back onto the streets of Chicago.

Unfortunately, the Progressive Socialists in the Senate - to their own disgrace - will make sure that Obama never pays for his actions….

‘TAKING REVISIONIST HISTORY TOO FAR’: WASHINGTON POST FACT-CHECKER GIVES OBAMA ‘FOUR PINOCCHIOS’ ON BENGHAZI CLAIM

The Blaze

May 14, 2013

Eight months after the terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, the debate on whether President Barack Obama immediately identified the incident as a terrorist attack continues.

“The day after it happened, I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism,” Obama said at a press conference on Monday. Though Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler has written several times before about what exactly Obama actually said that day and what he meant, Kessler is once again examining the issue. This time, he’s turning up the heat.

Corruption Thrives In Obama Administration – Anything To Keep The "Regime" In Power

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:18:00 +0000

For those of us who have never trusted Barack Obama or his Progressive Socialist allies, the Benghazi scandal and the IRS scandal are no big surprises. His “minions” will attempt to cover up anything that will damage the “Great Leader’s” reputation. They will also seek to destroy his opposition by any means possible – legal or illegal.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a Republican or Democratic administration that uses dishonorable, unsavory, or illegal methods to advance its agenda. It was wrong for a president like Richard Nixon to have an “enemies” list or to cover up a crime like the Watergate break-in. It is also wrong for the Obama administration to cover up the true terrorist nature of the Benghazi attacks for partisan political reasons, fail to send backup to save American lives, or target political opposition by using the IRS as a “gestapo-like” secret police.

The Obama political machine believes that it is smarter than everyone else in America. But the reality is that you can only engage in these disgraceful political deeds for a limited time. Although the instigators and leaders of these activities are evil, corrupt criminals, there are a great many men and women of integrity working at all levels of the federal government. Eventually, they will become sick of the corruption, and they will courageously step forward.

How high these scandals go will ultimately be revealed, no matter how long Obama, Hillary Clinton and their allies try to hide the depth of the deception or the identities of those involved. There can be no doubt that the ultimate responsibility will land where it must – on the desk of the most incompetent president in American history – Barack Obama.

With the grace of God and the determination of good and decent men and women, the complete truth of these terrible deeds will soon be revealed. When this happens, the careers of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be swept where they belong - into the dust bin of history…

Open Letter To Employees Of State Department, DOD And Private Contractors Who Have Knowledge Of Benghazi-Gate

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:19:00 +0000

During my own tour in Iraq, I had the pleasure of getting to know many of you who serve with the State Department and the Department of Defense, as well as those of you who are Private Military Contractors. (My unit was the Protective Service Detail (PSD) for a general at the Baghdad embassy, so we interacted with professionals like you on a daily basis.)

I can imagine how difficult it must be for you to have witnessed things that are unprofessional, unpatriotic, dishonest, and even criminal. All of you swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. To see those in power violate their own oaths for political reasons must be disconcerting, disappointing, and emotionally devastating. Such dishonorable people do not care about what is best for their country; they seek only to advance their own personal agendas or the agendas of their bosses.

However, you must honor your own oath to America and to God and tell what you know. You may be harassed, threatened, or even demoted because of what you say, but your own integrity will not let you be silent.

In the end, the truth will come out because it must, you will be vindicated, and you will have the gratitude of your fellow citizens for your courage in speaking those truths.

If you choose to remain silent, effectively assisting in the cover-up of illegal or dishonest acts relating to Benghazi, then you may manage to keep your jobs, but you will do so in great dishonor. Worst of all, you will never respect yourself again.

You have surely spent much time thinking about what you should do. My advice is to come down from the mountain, do the right thing, and speak up. After you make the right decision, please pass this on to someone who has yet to do so.

Telling the truth is the only option for the honorable man or woman…

Government Out Of Control – IRS Admits Targeting Patriot & Tea Party Groups In 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:16:00 +0000

So you don’t think the government will ever misuse its authority? You have complete confidence in the Obama administration? Do you believe the Progressive Socialist government of Barack Obama will never abuse its power?

The patriot/Tea Party movement has warned repeatedly that an over-reaching federal government is the greatest danger that Americans have faced since 1776. This article confirms that fact. Remember that the IRS is the same agency tasked with enforcing the Obamacare mandates. Isn’t it just wonderful that they will be hiring thousands of additional agents?

We might want to ask ourselves which federal agencies have NOT apologized for trampling on our rights, and which agencies are still doing their best to undermine our freedom and the Constitution…

IRS APOLOGIZES FOR TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS

Associated Press

May 10, 2013

The Internal Revenue Service inappropriately flagged conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status, a top IRS official said Friday.

Organizations were singled out because they included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups.

Hillary’s State Department Hired Al Qaeda Terrorists To Defend Benghazi Consulate

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Fri, 10 May 2013 13:03:00 +0000

As more information comes to light, it is certainly clear that the State Department’s incompetence and irresponsibility led to the deaths of four brave Americans in Benghazi.

We now know that they hired an Al Qaeda linked militia to defend the Benghazi mission. Then, after the attack, they refused to send help to the embattled Americans. The cover-up that followed the attack only magnifies the failures.

We now need to find out where America’s so-called “leader,” Barack Obama, was during all of this.

Don't you wonder why the White House isn’t cooperating?

NEWSMAX: US HIRED AL-QAEDA-LINKED GROUP TO DEFEND BENGHAZI MISSION

by John Rosenthal, Newsmax.com

May 3, 2013

The Libyan militia group that the State Department hired to defend its embattled diplomatic mission in Benghazi had clear al-Qaida sympathies, and had prominently displayed the al-Qaida flag on a Facebook page for months before the deadly attack.

That organization, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, was paid by the U.S. government to provide security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. But there is no indication the Martyrs Brigade fulfilled its commitment to defend the mission on Sept. 11, when it came under attack.

The assault claimed the lives of four Americans: Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979.

This scandal should eventually reach the Oval Office. Whether it does or not depends on how successful the Progressive Socialists in power will be in their ongoing attempts to hide the truth...

In the real world, when you cover up four murders after the fact, you likely go to jail. In government, you retire with dignity and run for president with full media support.

Up until yesterday, that was the Benghazi scenario following the death of four Americans including our ambassador to Libya.

The Obama administration has lied, stonewalled, bullied, and intimidated – the true marks of an open and transparent administration. And, with a few notable exceptions, the American media haven’t just let them get away it. Heck, they’ve helped.

There Will Be No “Victory” In Syria

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Wed, 08 May 2013 12:07:00 +0000

The situation in Syria is a lose/lose proposition. If the current government stays in power, then we and Israel will continue to have a Russian-sponsored enemy at Israel's door. If the "rebels" win, there will be a new fundamentalist Islamic/Al Qaeda state that will also be an enemy to us and to Israel. If we arm these rebels, those arms will eventually be turned against Israel and possibly against us. In my own humble opinion, our best option is to let the bad guys kill each other off.

Syria is not worth one single American life.

The international strategic analysts at Statfor are known for their accurate, insightful intelligence analysis of world events. Here is their take on the Syrian situation:

****

FOR AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY, NO GOOD OPTIONS

Stratfor.com

Robert D. Kaplan

Senior Geopolitical Analyst

One feels sympathy for U.S. President Barack Obama. Whatever he does in Syria, he is doomed. Had he intervened a year ago, as many pundits demanded, he might presently be in the midst of a quagmire with even more pundits angry at him, and with his approval ratings far lower than they are. If he intervenes now, the results might be even worse. Journalists often demand action for action's sake, seemingly unaware that many international problems have no solution, given the limits of U.S. power. The United States can topple regimes; it cannot even modestly remake societies unless, perhaps, it commits itself to the level of time and expense it did in post-war Germany and Japan.

The only disagreement I have with Stratfor is that I feel absolutely NO sympathy for Barack Obama….

Progressives Will Destroy America - If You Let Them

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:22:00 +0000

To preface this article, let's hear Hillary Clinton referring to herself as a "modern Progressive" during the 2008 presidential debates. You can listen to her words in describing "Progressives," but the true definition is in what they DO:

The American Progressive movement came out of the European Fabian Socialist movement. The ultimate goal is big government in control of virtually everything because you – the people – are too stupid to know what’s best for you. In America today, Progressive = Socialist = Marxist.

Glenn Beck gave a summary of their own stated goals HERE. See this article for the full explanation of each of the following.

No. 1: A strong, centralized government.
No. 2: A powerful executive at the expense of Congress and the judicial.
No. 3: Government controlled banking, credit, and securities exchange.
No. 4: Government control over employment.
No. 5: Unemployment insurance and old age pensions.
No. 6: Universal medical care, food, and universal housing programs.
No. 7: Access to unlimited government borrowing.
No. 8: A managed monetary system.
No. 9: Government control over foreign aid.
No. 10: Government control over all natural energy sources, transportation, and agricultural production.
No. 11: Government regulation of labor.
No. 12: Youth camps devoted to health discipline, community service, and idealogical teaching consistent with those of the authorities. (Think “Common Core” – my added note.)
No. 13: Heavy progressive taxation.

Do these sound familiar?

****
Here is a bit of history on American Progressives from R. J. Pestritto, Shipley Professor of the American Constitution at Hillsdale College:

“Many on the left today call themselves “progressive,” and they do so not just because it’s a nicer way of saying “liberal,” but also because they very much intend to revive the political principles of America’s original Progressives, from the Progressive Era of the 1880s through World War I. Why would leftist politicians, like Mrs. Clinton, purposely identify themselves with this Progressive movement?

The reason is that America’s original Progressives were also its original, big-government liberals. Most people point to the New Deal era as the source of big government and the welfare state that we have today. While this is perfectly accurate, it is important to understand that the principles of the New Deal did not originate in the New Deal; rather, they came from the Progressives, who had dominated American politics and intellectual cultural a generation prior to the New Deal.

We have no less an authority on this connection than Franklin Roosevelt himself. When FDR campaigned in 1932, he pointed to the Progressives – and in particular to Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson – as the source of his ideas about government.”

Progressives are not your friends. They want to extend the tentacles of big government into every aspect of your life. They want to control what you eat, what you drive, what your kids are taught (remember, the Progressive Socialists don't believe your kids belong to you; they belong to the "collective"), and they want to disarm you so you are easier to "control."

Don't let it happen America....

Japanese Prime Minister Envisions A New Land Of The Rising Sun

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Fri, 03 May 2013 08:07:00 +0000

The popularity of Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has led him to make an attempt to re-write the Japanese constitution. Some of the potential provisions are pretty scary. You can begin to understand where Abe is coming from when you read the article below and find out who his grandfather was.

Remember that Japan is much worse off than we are, but they are following the same path of irresponsible deficit spending and currency devaluation.

Now they want to start changing the definition of individual rights. Sound familiar?

There Are No Good Guys In Syria

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 22:52:00 +0000

Syrian rebels - friends of Al Qaeda

For some reason, American politicians seem to feel that everyone in the Middle East wants a government just like ours. They believe that every revolution must have a Muslim Thomas Jefferson. They think there are scores of “secular” good guys who will prevent radical fundamentalists from grabbing power in the end.

If you believe that, then I have some high and dry land in the Everglades I want to sell you.

Libya – after western intervention – has turned into a mess, and the Islamists will win in the end. (They have the religious fervor, and you always fight harder when you think you’re fighting for God.)

Egypt is already in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. These bloodthirsty Islamic fundamentalist animals are glad to take our money, our jets, and our tanks, but they still hate our guts, and they despise Israel. Yet Obama invites them into the White House, the Pentagon, and the CIA.

Iraq may have a democratic government courtesy of the Americans and their coalition, but Iraq has developed a solid friendship with Iran, the mother of all terrorist nations in the Middle East. (Saddam’s Sunni government was in a perpetual state of war with Iran. Thanks to us, the Iraqi Shiites run the country, and they get along just fine with the Iranian Shiites.)

And now we come to Syria, soon to be another patch in the quilt of the Islamic Caliphate. The Syrian government can hold on for now, but they will eventually fall to the rebels, a group that has NO secular good guys, and that has proclaimed its solidarity with Al Qaeda. Yet we are providing non-lethal aid publicly - and weapons secretly - to Islamic fundamentalists who will also hate us in the end and who also despise Israel.

Most of America's politicians do not understand Islam. They don’t think like Muslims, they think like American politicians. To Muslims we are ALL infidels to be hated because we do not subscribe to Islam. If we do not become like the radicals, then they will use us, cheat us, lie to us, betray us, and eventually kill us. They do not respect us at all, but they laugh heartily behind our backs while they take our money and weapons.

Then, in the end, they will use everything we have given them against us and against Israel. Isn’t it amazing that we could be so stupid?

The reality is that THERE ARE NO GOOD GUYS IN SYRIA. Both sides represent the evil of radical Islam. These terrorists are the bad guys that Barack Obama refuses to acknowledge. They are the ones who spread their venom worldwide and who can calmly slaughter innocent men, women and children – with a smile on their faces.

Syria is not worth one single American life – not one airman, not one sailor, not one soldier.

Period…

Fukushima Disaster: The Catastrophe That Keeps On Giving

UPDATE - April 29, 2013: Check out THIS ARTICLE on the sick sea lion pups in California. This could be further evidence of radiation poisoning of the Pacific Ocean.

****
You don’t hear much about the ongoing nuclear disaster in Japan, do you? Governments are intentionally ignoring the continued flood of nuclear contamination into the air and ocean.

Here’s one section from the article below:

“According to Professor Hiroaki Koide, Tokyo’s as contaminated as Fukushima. Thousands of city residents protested. They oppose nuclear power. They want safe energy sources replacing it.

Radiation contamination is widespread. East Asia, North America, Europe and other areas are affected.

Hazardous air, water and land readings across many areas globally are many multiples too high. Future epidemic cancer levels are certain. It occurs when body cells divide and spread uncontrollably. If untreated, it metastasizes and kills.

Michel Chossudovsky calls Fukushima “a nuclear war without a war.” It’s an “unspoken crisis of worldwide nuclear contamination.”

Shortages of Ammo, Gold, and Silver Amid Buying Frenzy

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:36:00 +0000

I cannot personally verify the gold or silver shortages, but I have witnessed the effects of the ammunition shortage.

Although I am retired from the police department, I still go to the range once a year to qualify. This past week I observed that some police officers could not qualify with their off duty weapons because they had been unable to buy 9mm ammunition. When they could find some, the stores wouldn’t sell it unless you were going to fire it on their range.

Yesterday, I went to my usual gun store to replace the ammunition I had fired at the range. I was told that the limit was two boxes per person, but I had to use it on their range.

Since that was no help, I went to the next store. There was not a bit of 9mm ammo on the shelves, so I asked a clerk if they had any. He said the limit was one box per person, but you didn’t have to use it on their range.

As he rang me up, I noticed that there were only a handful of boxes left. He said their newly arrived order would probably be gone by the afternoon.

Some say the scarcity of ammo is because of the fear of new gun control laws. Others blame the government for buying it all up. It is probably more the first than the second, but both complaints are surely valid.

Congress is trying to stop the massive ammo purchases by the Department of Homeland Security – purchases that exceed what the Army uses in combat. With our divided government becoming more ineffective every day, I don’t expect much to change.

But you can’t help but wonder why the DHS needs all that ammo – or thousands of armored vehicles……

All over the United States we are witnessing unprecedented shortages of ammunition, physical gold and physical silver. Recent events have helped fuel a “buying frenzy” that threatens to spiral out of control.

The ammo shortage has already become so severe that police departments all over America are saying that they are being told that it is going to take six months to a year to get their orders. In fact, many police departments have begun to trade and barter with one another to get the ammo that they need.

Why? Endless spending, money creation out of thin air, refusal to balance budgets, incompetent politicians and greedy bankers…..on both sides of the Atlantic…..

THE EU ‘IS THE NEW COMMUNISM’: THE FIERY SPEECH DENOUNCING THE EU YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS

The Blaze

April 22, 2013

As euro zone leaders continue to wrestle with the idea of the EU being plunged into total economic ruin, Nigel Farage above all others has protested loudly against the 27-state union’s easy money policies and its desire to consolidate power into the hands of the few.

“Years ago, Mrs. Thatcher recognized the truth behind the European Project. She saw that it was about taking away democracy from nation states and handing that power to largely unaccountable people,” said the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) during a debate last week on the current situation in Cyprus.

MERKEL SAYS EURO MEMBERS MUST BE PREPARED TO CEDE SOVEREIGNTY

Reuters

April 22, 2013

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday that euro zone members must be prepared to cede control over certain policy domains to European institutions if the bloc is truly to overcome its debt crisis and win back foreign investors.

Speaking at an event hosted by Deutsche Bank in Berlin alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Merkel also defended her approach to the crisis against critics who argue she has put too much emphasis on austerity, saying Europe must find a way to deliver both growth and solid finances.

Obama’s Plan To Destroy America – From One Of His Columbia “Classmates”

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:59:00 +0000

Although he was reelected for a second term, Barack Obama is a mystery to most Americans. In fact, Obama has spent millions of dollars to keep his college records and his personal history a secret. Doesn’t anyone wonder why?

Here is the story of the real Barack Obama and those who influenced him at Columbia University. He learned his lessons well from Socialists, Marxists, and the real elitist scumbags who want to turn the United States into another “workers’ paradise.” You know, just like those wonderful bastions of freedom like the Soviet Union, “Red” China, Cuba, North Korea, or Venezuela. Yeah, it’s worked real well in those countries hasn’t it?

If you are an Obama Kool Aid drinker, you’ve probably already quit reading this.

If you are a seeker of the truth, read on:

OBAMA’S PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA HATCHED AT COLUMBIA SAYS CLASSMATE

By Wayne Allyn Root

The Blaze

April 19, 2013

The economic news has gone from bad to worse. First we found out the jobs numbers are collapsing. Then retail sales figures were released- they showed across the board contraction. Next we found out U.S. business inventory figures were a disappointment. Finally consumer confidence not only collapsed, but it was the largest miss from expectations in U.S. economic history. What exactly is our president’s plan? Because it’s certainly not working. Or is it? It depends on what the plan is.

Obama Gives Aid To Terrorists - But Cuts Cancer Treatment For America's Seniors

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 13:09:00 +0000

Syrian rebels/terrorists/Al Qaeda supporters: The aid we
give them today will be used against us - or Israel - later

The Obama administration has not only facilitated the takeover of Egypt by the terrorists of the Muslim Brotherhood, it continues to give them millions of dollars in financial and military assistance. This includes our most advanced fighter jets and tanks.

He is also supporting – with the misguided assistance of Republicans like John McCain and Lindsey Graham – the Al Qaeda-sponsored terrorists in Syria. In fact, the government has just announced $123 million dollars in new military aid for these terrorists. These are the same "rebels" given permission by their "spiritual leaders" to rape Syrian women.

As I have said before, there are no good guys on either side in Syria.

Now our great leader has blamed the sequester for reducing the cancer treatment provided under Medicare for senior citizens.

Doesn’t this seem a little backwards – even for you misguided Obama lovers?

CANCER CLINICS ARE TURNING AWAY THOUSANDS OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. BLAME THE SEQUESTER

Washington Post

April 3, 2013

Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts.

Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially.

US TO PROVIDE SYRIAN REBELS $123M MORE IN AID

Fox News

April 20, 2013

The United States is providing Syrian rebels with $123 million in new nonlethal aid that may include armor and other types of supplies that haven't been part of the assistance package in the past.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the additional money will double the nonlethal assistance to the Syrian opposition as well as increase humanitarian aid.

I think taking care of our own senior citizens is more important than providing aid to international terrorists.

Don’t you?

Obama Snubs Thatcher Funeral But Sends Delegation To Honor Dictator Hugo Chavez

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 19:41:00 +0000

Progressives = Socialists = Communists

Who the heck are you people who support this guy? I mean other than the ones who like him because he gives them free stuff.

To honor a brutal communist dictator like Hugo Chavez by sending an official delegation to his funeral is bad enough. To completely ignore the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first woman prime minister, is just plain wrong.

Chavez did nothing during his miserable life but seek power and privilege at the expense of his people – just like all communist leaders. They throw crumbs to the workers but reap the rewards for themselves and their fellow elitists.

Margaret Thatcher was a courageous CONSERVATIVE woman, which is why Obama and his fellow Progressive Socialists don’t like her. It is that fact as well as his hatred for England as a whole. This was demonstrated by his return of the White House’s Winston Churchill bust upon taking office in 2009.

Compare the articles below. There is no logic here; there is only partisan, left-wing political love for dictators, but hatred for those who promote individual responsibility over dependence on the “state.”

OBAMA’S SHAMEFUL THATCHER SNUB

Fox News

April 17, 2013

Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was laid to rest today in Great Britain. The "Iron Lady" died last week at age 87.

OBAMA SENDING OFFICIAL DELEGATION TO CHAVEZ FUNERAL

Washington Times

March 7, 2013

The Obama administration has dispatched an official delegation to Caracas to attend Friday’s funeral for deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

In addition to James Derham, who presently serves as Charge d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in the Venezuelan capital, the State Department said Thursday that the delegation to the socialist revolutionary’s funeral will include U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, New York Democrat, and former U.S. Rep. William Delahunt, Massachusetts Democrat.

Gun Control Bill Fails In Senate - But The Progressives Will Continue Their Efforts To Disarm You

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:42:00 +0000

For now, Obama and his minions have failed in their attempt to pass today's gun control bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid voted against the bill, but this was only to allow him to re-introduce it at a later date.

Keep your eyes and ears open for the next political skirmish in the Progressive attempt to disarm you.

By the way, make note in the following article of those who voted FOR this bill, including RINOs like John McCain. Vote them out of office at the earliest opportunity:

Major Theater Chain Cuts Employee Hours – Obamacare Strikes Again

Well done, Mr. President. Your poorly planned, poorly executed, outrageously expensive, deficit-increasing health care plan is causing American workers to lose their full-time jobs. In order to be exempt from Obamacare, many employers are reducing employee hours to avoid having to provide health insurance.

Senate Democrats Refuse To Honor Margaret Thatcher

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:54:00 +0000

UPDATE: The Senate finally passed the resolution on April 16, 2013, despite Democratic attempts to water it down. READ MORE HERE.

****
In a move that is typical of a political party that should be known as the Progressive Socialist Party, the Democrats appear to be holding up a Senate resolution that would honor the late Margaret Thatcher. The House of Representatives has already approved such a resolution.

Perhaps it is Thatcher’s long friendship with Ronald Reagan or her staunch defense of conservative values that the Democrats want to ignore. Regardless, Thatcher did much to help strengthen the western alliance, forge strong ties with America, and help bring down the Iron Curtain.

If the Democrats fail to honor Thatcher, they will only further demonstrate their simple-minded, mean-spirited, left-wing partisanship.

Maryland’s “Rain Tax” Is As Absurd As It Sounds – Obama’s EPA Strikes Again

noreply@blogger.com (Charles M. Grist:) — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:41:00 +0000

Government over-reach has a new name: Maryland’s rain tax. Due to EPA regulations ordering the state of Maryland to reduce stormwater run-off, Maryland will now tax you based on the amount of run-off on your property.

Once again, this is Obama government gone wild. If you look at the president's proposed budget, it will get even worse for the average American.

All of the misguided souls who voted for their "savior" will eventually be the financial victims of his policies.
