Lightbringer is having a rhetoric deficit on just about every front.  Obama has treated the US Economy like a rental car.  He has only taken a middling interest in international matters, and only when he thought it might burnish his street cred.  The problem there is that he never had any cred to burnish.  The international community was briefly enamoured with him but only because they saw how weak he was.  A weak American President leaves plenty of room for other players to “improve their market share.”

Most of the problems we now face are a result of other powers filling the vacuum Mr. Obama has created.

Regardless of that, Mr. Obama is about as respected a world leader as a blow up doll at a frat party.  He is welcomed around the globe as a novelty, and a way to improve the status of the locals who, by comparison, appear brilliant–because by comparison, they are.

Cloward & Piven were two NYU sociologists and Socialists that predicated that by overloading the welfare system and drive New York City so far into debt, it could not recover and Capitalism would have to be replaced by another form of governance (gee, guess which!).  They almost succeeded.

Once again, we see it at play but this time, on a national scale.  We are getting Dense Pack’d by the Obama Administration – in too many areas to fight back, our culture and Constitutional Republic are being pushed to the breaking point and now, a veritable Alinsky / Obama army is invading us.   In my inbox:

America is getting what it voted for: CHANGE! AND IT ALL BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.

Re: here.  Here’s a GREAT reason why and it has nothing to do with being intellectual, being ideological, or philosophical.  And it COMPLETELY explains….

Many people are wondering why Republicans are not doing more to stop the Illegal Alien influx, and more specifically not stop President Obama’s approach.   We can answer that question…..

This guy, Tom Donohue, is at the root of the matter.  Tom Donohue is the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the CoC.  The CoC wants amnesty legislation, the CoC is also the primary source of campaign funding for the following Republicans:

Mitch McConnell (R-KY),  Rob Portman (R-OH), Bob Corker (R-TN),  Roger Wicker (R-MS),  John Barrasso (R-WY), Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Cornyn (R-TX), Dean Heller (R-NV),  Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA),  Dan Coats (R-IN), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Jerry Moran (R-KS),  Mike Johanns (R-NE), 

Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), 

John Boozman (R-AR), Richard Burr (R-NC),  Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), John McCain (R-AZ), Jim Risch (R-ID), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Richard Shelby (R-AL),  Deb Fischer (R-NE) and John Hoeven (R-ND).

For those keeping score that’s 32, yes thirty two, of the current GOP Senators.

…why our Jr US Senator Kelly Ayotte went from being a raging

General Kelly had better be careful how he criticizes Obama’s and La Raza’s  (“The Race”) for completely opening our border with Mexicoor he’s gonna get to retire early (if not outright cashiered out) (emphasis mine, reformatted):

A top United States general in charge of protecting the southern border says he’s been unable to combat the steady flow of illegal drugs, weapons and people from Central America, and is looking to Congress for urgent help.  Marine Corps Gen. John Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command, has asked Congress this year for more money, drones and ships for his mission – a request unlikely to be met. Since October, an influx of nearly 100,000 migrants has made the dangerous journey north from Latin America to the United States border. Most are children, and three-quarters of the unaccompanied minors have traveled thousands of miles from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

“In comparison to other global threats, the near collapse of societies in the hemisphere with the associated drug and [undocumented immigrant] flow are frequently viewed to be of low importance,” Kelly told Defense One. “Many argue these threats are not existential and do not challenge our national security. I disagree.”

Mike Rogers posted a handy list of US Senate donors who stepped in to help stop the unwinding of Thad Cochran’s Senate Career.

The RINO’s put their covered wagons in a circle to protect one of their own.  Now that there is a slew of electoral impropriety attached to the win, it is worth knowing who paid how much to keep the TEA Party out of the ‘Big Tent.’

You remember the big Tent?

The Scott Brown campaign released a video today talking about ‘Unity’ of the Party and how he’ll be an ‘Independent Voice’ for New Hampshire.  Really?  Like he was an Independent voice in Massachusetts when he voted with Obama and Democrats (and AGAINST his constituents) more often than not?  Like when he voted for Dodd-Frank, crafted by far left wing lunatic Lizzie Warren who doesn’t know the first thing about the financial industry, and is probably the worst piece of legislation to hit the banking and finance industry in years.  Dodd-Frank actually hurts”We, The People” more than anyone.

Are you going to believe Brown is an ‘Independent Voice’ when he voted for gun control in Massachusetts that hurt law-abiding citizens?  How about his knee-jerk emotional reaction to the Sandy Hook tragedy when he said ‘assault rifles’ (no such thing) should be banned on the federal level?  That’s not an ‘Independent Voice’, that is a voice of NO reason.

And what about Mitt Romney?  Should people unify around a party that pushed a man to run for office after the Romneycare debacle?
