It is clear that Obama views Republicans, especially Constitutional conservatives and TEA Party folks, as an existential enemy.  Given the furor that Obama caused by his presser the other day and calling out his political opposition over Syrian refugees and hurting “widows and orphans”, one could see his use of Alinsky’s Rule #5:  “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”  The problem for Obama is that he has overplayed his hand with his “ridicule”.  If using Governor count, it is clear that he has called more than half of the country bigoted, uncaring, xenophobic, and “othering”.  His gaslighting

Problem for him is that there is a fine line that keeps ridicule from being crass bullying – and he crossed it.  In doing so, he violated Rule #7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”  We’ve been listening to this crap for 8 long years – who cares any more.  It is expected from him now, it is all he is: an angry, bitter man whose sole love in life is control by turning groups of people against each other. Some legacy, eh?

Ted Cruz, whom we just endorsed, was not having any of it – the proper response to any bully:

“Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said today the U.S. and the rest of the democratic world is at a security crossroads in the wake of last month’s deadly al-Shabab attack at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya – and suggested an answer could be in arming civilians.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Noble said there are really only two choices for protecting open societies from attacks like the one on Westgate mall where so-called “soft targets” are hit: either create secure perimeters around the locations or allow civilians to carry their own guns to protect themselves.

“Societies have to think about how they’re going to approach the problem,” Noble said. “One is to say we want

“I come from an incredibly working class family and my family is already on numerous forms of government assistance”

Million dollar house, eh? That would be Keely Martin Mullen (I got the name wrong here) from the Million Student March that was skewered eviscerated interviewed by Neil Cavuto about the free stuff they were demanding that others give them.  She said the above, given the nation the idea that she came from a poor family. Well…

…she lied.  Outright. Baldfaced.  She is actually part of the 1%; The College Fix has that news:

Northeastern University student Keely Mullins, an organizer of the “Million Student March” who represented herself as “working class” in a recent Fox Business interview, actually comes from a privileged (and gender-bending!) family herself.

That would be the Federal Government Ambassador to NH Jeanne Shaheen who told WMUR that the US does the HIGHEST level of vetting – far more than any other country does:

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., stopped short of calling for a halt to U.S. acceptance of refugees. She did speak of the need to enhance screening, but also told News 9 that the U.S. already has one of the most stringent refugee vetting processes in the world. “Much longer and much more thorough than many of the European countries,” said Shaheen. “And I think that process needs to go forward.”

WELL, there’s a huge problem with that.  First off, WMUR said “refugee” and not what the topic really is, SYRIAN refugees in which Islamic Jihadists might embed themselves (which ISIS has already claimed). Second, technically she may be right, but…

This is the line I paraphrased this morning on GrokTALK! – from Instapundit:

ANNA MUSSMAN: How Our New Definition Of Freedom Causes Cruelty: In the past, freedom meant to ability to obey one’s beliefs. Now, freedom is the ability to require others to obey one’s own beliefs about oneself.

And that encapsulates much of the essence of Political Correctness -submission (which is the meaning of Islam: “submission”). You gonna let the PCers continue to roll over you?  Several of the collegiate administrators that quit would still have their jobs if they had grown a pair and acted like BU’s former head honcho, John “the one armed bandit” Silber who was there as I was an undergrad and grad student:

Then they put up the shacks. I told the police, “Go ask them three questions: Do you have

Remember that word: submission.  Be it Islam or Progressivism, that is the desired outcome of you to it.  In my previous post, I wondered if this Safe Space / Freedom from Offense / PC Totalitarianism of only designated Speech was going to burn hot / flame out or spread like Ebola into a more general population and accomplish the age old goal of Socialist Democrats everywhere: first, the overthrow of the First Amendment and then rapidly, everything else in the Constitution that was created to both limit Government and keep it (supposedly) out of our day to day lives.  Sadly, a lot of that last bit has already been lost – is this now throwing gas onto that emerging Freedom conflagration?  If we look at Dartmouth, perhaps (emphasis mine):

My friend is texting me about a Black Lives Matter protest that happened at Dartmouth last night. Apparently it started as a standard march and chant across campus and devolved into black students screaming at individuals in the library and calling them out by name for not protesting. It’s finals period so the library is packed with people trying to study, and some of the protesters screamed at people they knew who were doing work and demanded to know why they weren’t protesting. One kid sang a song in the library (when the protest was still “peaceful”) and people clapped when he was done. Then a girl in the protest said “F*** you, white people. You can clap for us but you aren’t f***ing standing up here with us. F*** you.”

And this morning on pretty much all of the talking head shows, Ben Rhodes (Obama’s national security advisor) has said that importing Syrians will continue apace and they will probably be enlarging those numbers even as the US has no way to properly vet those refugees to make sure they are really refugees.  From Conservative Review, a quick status of Muslim immigration into the US:

1.Numbers: We have admitted approximately 1.6 million immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries from 2001-2013, double the average rate prior to 9/11.

2.Recent Trend: Immigration from Muslim countries is the fastest growing segment of our annual admissions. The countries with the highest percentage increase since 2010 have all been predominantly Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia (up 93 percent); Bangladesh up 37 percent); Iraq (up 36 percent); Egypt (up 25 percent); Pakistan, India, and Ethiopia (all up 24 percent); Nigeria and Ghana (both up 21 percent).

And with them, a propensity for Shar’ia Law over any other system of laws, including our own.  So where is this heading?

I don’t even know what that means – a full spectrum.  This is from a Union Leader piece on “GOP voters still seeking their conservative candidate” and quoted NH GOP Chair Horn:

Jennifer Horn, chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, said every Republican candidate is presenting a stronger vision for America than the Democrats in the race. She said the GOP candidates are conveying conservative messages and solutions.

“Our party represents the full spectrum of conservatism,” Horn said.

What DOES that mean?  What is a full spectrum?  Is this just another way to paraphrase Gene Chandler (former Speaker of the NH House and Establishment Republican) pronouncement that “Any person with an R after their name is a good Republican”.  Lately, the Party has been working hard to make the moral equivalence that being a Republican is automatically a conservative.  Sorry, you can’t skirt the issue that way for it is clear with ratings groups at the national and NH levels, it is CLEAR that many moderate Republicans are often “outvoted” in support of the Constitution and Party Platform by Democrats – so how does that play into being “conservative”?

Yeah, politicians and their promises.  All we hear from the sycophants of Obama and Obamacare is that it is “affordable” for low income folks to buy an Obamacare insurance policy – and now we know that TANSTAFFL still applies because as Government artificially lowers that rate for the Have-Nots, the premium prices necessarily rise for everyone else. But those same sycophants will NEVER want to willingly talk about deductions.  Here is the  post from the NY Times, well, because they deserve it and finally having to admit (emphasis mine, reformatted):

Many Say High Deductibles Make Their Health Law Insurance All but Useless

I just LOVE saying this: we TOLD you so! The Laws of Economics can only be distorted for so long and in so many ways before they snap back on you like an oversized rubber band.  Unfortunately, it isn’t on the sycophants but by the folks that have to deal with it – herein the actual results of what Obama and the Democrats have wrought:

Obama Admin Moves to Speed Up Admission of More Syrian Refugees

On today’s GrokTALK!, it came to our attention that the first of Obama’s 10,000 Syrian refugees were deposited in Louisiana (of course, a Red State whose governor, Bobby Jindal, has been quite outspoken against Obama – that old “punish our enemies” schtick).  And he’s promising more to be delivered.  And here’s this morning’s backdrop:

Cicero: You may not be interested in politics but be assured, politics is interested in you.

Muslim Jihadist translation:  You may not be interested in our Jihad but be assured, we don’t care what you think.

A couple more tidbits from last night; be prepared for more.  Why?  See above.

1. In summer 2014, Newsweek reported on polling that indicated one in six French citizens, or 16 percent, sympathizes with ISIS. The ISIS approval number spikes to 27 percent (over one in four) in the fighting-age demographic, ages 18 to 24.

Yeah, what I mentioned on the show today.  It is this kind of thinking that is stewed from the same goo vat that is giving us – we have a beta male over at a Feminist blog believing that sex is not determined by your chromosomes.  Can we say “Leftism ideology runs amok in the pursuit of abject and total relativism”?.  A couple of absolutely unhinged (or is that unfathomable?) snippets from Everyday Feminism:

Here Are 20 Examples of Cissexism That We’ve Probably All Committed at Some Point

That’s just the title – go ahead and tell me if you’re not hep (is “hep” still hep?) on the PC lexicon, what is Cissexism?

Cissexism is pretty much unchecked cis privilege or an otherwise shoddy awareness of the social monopoly on binary gender.

Yeah unfathomable to the regular Joe or Jane.  Or better put, who really cares except from those subject to the absolute tiniest of First World problems (and yes, I am of the stance that stuff like this registers as an asterick (if that) with me.  Maybe Mike’s “sub-asterick” from this morning’s GrokTALK! is more like it).

Now, to clarify: Cissexism isn’t necessarily a mindset that a person holds with either maliciousness or awareness. You may have no clue you’re cissexist.

Of COURSE – how lunkheaded am I?
