There  few words that can describe the sheer madness in that he actually believes that somebody will actually believe this (without violating Rule #1):

McConnell lamented that the agreement would not seriously address ObamaCare, but vowed to keep fighting against the law.

“This is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly, but it is far better than what some had sought,” he said.

Far Better?  Oh My God – calling nothing “far better”?  You got nothing for passing a Continuing Resolution that does little to advance a Conservative agenda, you got nothing for giving yet ANOTHER blank check to put US further into debt, and a throwaway that Obamacare income verifcation would actually be enforced (Obama must have gone though a box of tissues for all the tears shed laughing his tochkes off).  WHAT WAS “BETTER”?  This was your only chance.

There are very few words that I can use that can adequately express my disgust at these two RINOS (“Republican” Peter King and Aaron Schock) (and shredding Rule #1 altogether):

Not a theology with which I am familiar.  I’m talking about Steve’s post on the vandalization of the NH GOP HQ in Concord.  While I chuckled when I read Steve’s interpretation of what the anti-GOP jerks did (“We Will Just Destroy…Healthcare for Everyone.”), here are sycophants of the Democrat Party who fellow sojourners BOOED any attempt to put a mention of God back into their Party Platform trying to use Jesus as a political club.  Yes, those folks; the Leftists that are always most likely to scream (like toddlers) “Separation of Church and State”!!!

WWJD – What Would Jesus Do?  Once again, let’s remember that Jesus came to call individuals to salvation  (and not Obama’s apostate view that it is a Collective effort) by individually repenting of their sins and then to individually and voluntarily receive the free gift of God’s salvation.  The WWJD movement, when it first started, was intended to be a personal remembrance – what should I do in my walk of salvation to more emulate Him in a given situation.  Now, given that almost everything becomes political after some amount of time, it is being used here as a threat, not a call to be still and be open.  It is being used as a slur, an epithet, as a “how DARE you not be willing to act collectively – how DARE you fight us”!

There is a ton of stuff going on that’s bad – and more and more keeps piling on (the “dense pack” theory of overwhelming your opposition).  Here’s yet another one – From Breitbart:

President Obama wants fast track power so he can conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an expansive system of global governance that would deal a mortal blow to American sovereignty and our Constitution.

Fast track overrides the Constitution once — the Trans-Pacific Partnership overrides it forever.

TPP is billed a free trade agreement, but it is actually protectionism for Wall Street bailout banks, insurance and drug companies profiting off Obamacare, and the corporatists pushing open borders and amnesty under the rubric of “immigration reform.” The cronies with “access” in Washington are writing the deal while the rest of us are shut out.

TPP would subject the U.S. to the jurisdiction of foreign tribunals under the authority of the World Bank and United Nations. These unelected, unaccountable panels would constitute a judicial authority higher than the U.S. Supreme Court. They would have the power to overrule federal court rulings and order payment of U.S. tax dollars to enforce the special privileges granted to foreign firms that would be exempt from EPA and other regulations that strangle American firms.

Our Constitution is under assault like never before – Progressives see it, along with traditional families, the value of self-reliance, and God, as the last impediments to transforming America into their version of Dystopia Utopia.  Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA) has the following observations on the current Continuing Resolution to keep the Government open (as the Democrat controlled Senate has failed to pass a “regular order” budget since 2009 under Harry Reid’s Majorityship) as well as the debt ceiling crisis:

“Given the ruthless and vindictive way the shutdown has been handled, I now believe that this president would willfully act to destroy the full faith and credit of the United States unless the Congress acquiesces to all of his demands, at least as long as he sees political advantage in doing so,” McClintock said in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives. “If the Republicans acquiesce, immediate crisis will quickly vanish, credit markets will calm and public life will return to other matters. But a fundamental element of our Constitution will have been destroyed. The power of the purse will have shifted from the representatives of the people to the executive. The executive bureaucracies will be freed to churn out ever more outlandish regulations with no effective congressional review or check through the purse.

Steve put it well on the announcement of this week’s GrokTALK! podcast:

Louisiana State Senator Elbert L. Guillory (District 24) who released this video and received much national press and internet fame for his announcement this year. (The Democrat party left him, so he left the Democrat Party)

So, I decided to plaigiarize it!   Good entertaining speaker – teaching with spunk and wit! I’ve chopped his presentation only for time purposes as in “whole thing in parts”:

• His talk (Powerpoint by other means, Larry and Leroy, and an Obama Report card) in 3 Parts
• Q & A in two Parts

Part 1:  Note: his “intro video” is included here – a better quality version is here.

Part 2:

Once again, running behind!  This Sunday’s Meet The Press had this gaffe (accidentally telling the truth) said by Senator Dick Durban (Progressive -Il):

“…for goodness sake, we have a tax code that takes out $1.3 Trillion out of the economy, out of the Treasury I should say, each year and in that we can’t find some savings? Closing some loopholes, quote “raising revenue”?  Of Course we can!”

He did say “out of the economy” at the first stab and then quickly “recovered” to the more “I am Government and I should have first pickings!” that a typical Big Government Statist would have.  He was actually right – the tax code allows those that actually earn it to keep that $1.3 Trillion for themselves – and why not?  But in typical Progressive outlook, every dollar that we get to keep is seen as a dollar that is “robbed” from Government – else why would they continue to yammer that “this loophole” or “that loophole” has to be fixed.

Loophole nothing –

“My goal is to make Washington as inconsequential to your daily life as possible”

– Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) during his run for the Presidency

Earlier today, Steve said:

Honestly.  If I didn’t blog I wouldn’t have even noticed.  It has had no affect on my life at all.  None.

I’m  not the only one.

Me too.  At this point, there is no part of my immediate life that the “Slimdown”, as the Fed Govt has shut down an additional 17% of truly non-essential personnel, has effected.  “Oh, you just don’t KNOW all the ways that Government works to make your life better every part of every day” is the blasting I’ll get from the Left (yeah, we’ll get the obligatory Timothy comment on this one).  “Don’t you know that everyone and everything is connected?  You’ll be sorry soon!!”
