In foreign policy, this means cozying up to our enemies while putting “the nose in the air” when dealing with our “former” allies.  Yes, the scare quotes are intentional. To be specific, if you were Israel, would this be all that comforting?  This from the This Week with [Clinton’s former wonder boy] George Stephy’s interview with Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif  on the “game changing” 15 minute phone call between Muslimphilic Obama and Rouhani, the new Iranian President who, as I point out, serves the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.  Yes, the President that reports to what Democrats here in the US are always screaming about here (an incipient theocracy by those of us that cling to our Bibles), an actual Theocracy.  Yet, does Clinton’s former White House wonder boy, George Stephy, bring that up?  No, in fact goes 180 the other way:

STEPHANOPOULOS: It’s been a long time.

This week, analysts in the Middle East have called the events a game-changer, one even likening it to the fall of the Berlin wall.

RIIIGHT – let’s inflate this A WHOLE LOT!  Seriously, the Wall?  A wall that was built to keep its citizens INSIDE a totalitarian form of government (er, once again, isn’t that what the Dems call a theocracy – totalitarian?  Oh, never mind – they can’t acknowledge the irony here).  I digress – let’s continue.  This was kinda cute – right up what the “Blame America Firsters” just love to hear!  Sure, Iran is ready to bury the hatchet IF the US is willing to repent.  This guy has the Democrat “I am a member of a victim class” down to a T:

Here in NH, we have heard the NH Dems cry “SETTLED LAW!  SETTLED LAW!” when they thought that  Republicans were going to “re-legislate” the homosexual marriage law.  And a bunch of others.  And yet, when they took control this session, immediately they started in “re-legislating” in either watering down or removing laws that the Republican majority had passed – Deputy Dawg’s try at removing Stand Your Ground being a good example.  Rumors have other laws in their sights. The case has been proven: Democrats do not care for “settled law” arguments unless it is their own laws that are under the microscope.

Yet, from DC, we are hearing the Democrat lamentations over Obamacare – “passed legislation!  passed legislation!” as the US House may send up a Continuing Resolution that WOULD fund absolutely every function in the Federal Government.  But NOT Obamacare.  You know something?  That would be perfectly legal AND Constitutional – it is the HOUSE that is, by Constitutional mandate, decide what tax funds are to be raised and appropriated (regardless of what Reid in the Senate believes and the incipient tyrant (or at least, tantrum prone) President has declared by fiat.

Me?  The Republicans are well within their rights to do EXACTLY what the Democrats are decrying – after all, isn’t the current debt ceiling AND the current spending regime results of “passed and SETTLED law”?  So really, aren’t the Republicans just agreeing with them (heh!)?  Mario Loyola from The Corner has a good observation on the Dems constant wailing that Republicans should not do this – that it would hurt Republicans badly in the next election (and appeasement Rs as well) – this is not the same time as the 1990’s (emphasis mine):

There is a crucial difference between what’s happening now and the budget battle between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. Clinton repeatedly vetoed budget bills that contained measures he vehemently disagreed with. Had he done otherwise, he would have been accepting GOP policy on crucial items such as how regulations are enacted. From his point of view, the House bills contained poisoned pills he couldn’t swallow.

Sometimes, seeing is believing – or more fun!  To be fair, we do the video as a backup to our audio (sort of a “just in case”).  But some would rather see than just listen, so it is our responsibility to provide what people like!  Please note: as you heard during the show, I have to get the camera “mice” input switched over from the nice Rode shotgun mic that we normally use to the soundboard so that you all can watch us listen to our guests on the phone lines.

Sidenote: and THANK YOU to our donors for for helping in allowing us to purchase the new soundboard you see in front of Steve that is set up especially to handle phone lines!

Thus, the videos only cover the first three half-hour segments – the fourth WOULD have show us just listening to Shane Vander Hart calling in from Iowa.

The previous parts to Ken’s talk at the Alton Business Association’s Workforce Housing Forum were kept to around 10 minutes each so I should let you know that this goes about 25 minutes.  The topic was Westchester County, NY – a “lower level of government” that actually believed the Federal Govt’s “Sustainability Community Initiative” was not legally binding – but turned out that the “crack” money dangled out by EPA / DOT / HUD had not just strings attached but steel cables.  Part of the length of this part is a video where the Administrator of Westchester County explained how the old “inch/mile” / “rug out from underneath” became a scary (and EXTREMELY expensive) proposition when the ideologues of “seeing racism everywhere” / “make wealth redistribution everywhere” within the Federal Government decided that what was a legally signed agreement could, willy-nilly, be arbitrarily broached and extended by those whose hubris of Federal Government power knows no bounds (how’s that fer ya, Kitch??).

Oh yes, those “I’m a Healthcare Voter!” days of 2007 and 2008 – Unionistas from the SEIU union (pretty much, not much more than a socialist front, IMHO) joined forces with AARP in trying to persuade voters that Universal Healthcare was needed or the country would end up in ruin.  AKA, Obamacare.  They invaded almost every event on the Right – this “Healthcare Voter” was at a McCain rally in Franklin, NH – and yes, she wanted us all to take care of her.  The SEIU put its all into preparing the battlefield space and getting Democrats voted into DC office.  They succeeded beyond belief – the Dems ran the table and captured the US House, Senate, and the Presidency.  And in that two years, Obamacare was spawned out of every Socialist’s idea of what Government could now to [for] everyone – and at the same time, take revenge on the ‘Evil people”.  “Unicorns and fairy dust is now real and for everyone!” was the cry

Well, given all of the self-induced problems we’ve seen lately, it seems that what is apparently “in ruin” is going to be the rollout of Obamacare in 5 days as it seems everyday for the last couple of weeks, “features” of the online Exchanges. The fantasy of Unicorns and fairy dust has proven to be just that – and now the IT folks are on their knees praying pretty hard – feature after feature keep getting put off to the point that small biz owners will have to FAX in their requirements – and maybe hear back in a month (and that might be an even bigger fantasy). And now, it has swung around and bit the SEIU in the butt (emphasis mine, reformatted):

 Members of the Columbus, Ohio-based Service Employees International Union Local 1 have gone on strike over recent job cuts by a janitorial company called Professional Maintenance.  The reason for the cuts?  The employer says it is because of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. This is ironic since SEIU is a major supporter of the law.

Er, not so much.  I wasn’t going to write this (at least, first off) but when I heard Mitch McConnell, the top wimp in the US Senate, say this:

“It all adds up to just one thing – a law in trouble. A law that needs to be repealed.  That’s the goal of every Republican in the caucus”.

No longer “stopped” – merely “repealed”.  Safe words, weaselly words – a word that says to the LIVs (Low Information Voters) “we gonna keep on working on this!” but really means “we have no intention of risking ourselves and our careers over Obamacare”.  Sorry dude, you did just that.  You Republican chuckleheads have campaigned on stopping this socialized “camel nose under the tent” Obamacare law since it passed.  “Stop” means “stop by any means” – including at any and every possible point to keep that law from being more fully implemented – which defunding it would do.

But Republicans in the Senate couldn’t and wouldn’t live up to that promise, could you?  Do you really think that swapping one word out, “stop”, for another, “repeal” that we (the base) would get hoodwinked by this switch in tactic similar in nature to Obama’s continual blame game: “don’t blame me!  don’t blame us!”.

Here are the 19 names, the “Freedom Guard” (that wished to keep that promise) that voted against cloture:

Iran – that’s the country that violated our sovereign territory, invaded our embassy, and held our hostages while Jimmy Carter was President.  Iran – the country that has been refining uranium in sufficient quality and quantity to build the bomb that could carry out their oft screamed promise to wipe Israel off the map.  The country that supplied Al Qaeda (Iraq) and the Taliban (Afghanistan) with weapons that were used to kill our soldiers – including the shaped charged explosives just a little bit of time ago.  And just got caught hacking our Navy’s computers.

Obama believes that he, Lurch Kerry, and TOTUS can just wave their arms, say the “soft power” words, and Iran will snap into Obama’s line.

No negotiations – no preconceived needs – in order to have these TRUE theocrats to speak to the President of the United States on equal terms – AS equals.  In the past, with strong Presidents with a strong US with a strong reputation, this would never have EVER happened.  Well, with Obama’s policy of Determined Weakness, it does seem that Obama has brought America’s reputation to, pretty much, equal with Iran’s.

As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, “If I’m going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman.”

She removes all her clothing and asks, “Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?”

A man stands up, removes his shirt and says,

A senior Washington Post congressional reporter found it “interesting” that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told him that he answers to his constituents and the grassroots instead of the leaders in the Republican leadership who make up the permanent political class.

On Tuesday, Paul Kane said that in an interview in August, Cruz told him that every day in the Senate he tries to remember “to whom I am accountable; and it is not elected officials in Washington.” He also said, “with all respect,” it is not the mainstream media either.

“The people to whom I believe I am accountable are the men and women in Texas… who knocked on doors, who made phone calls, who stood up and said ‘Please, help turn this country around,'” Cruz, who is leading the defunding Obamacare efforts, told him.

And as it should be.  Too often, we see the Humble Folk make promises, say the right things, and generally seem to be truthful when talking to:

• Supporters that inhale and internalize what they are saying – they want to believe “maybe this time” (as in “won’t change”).
