I Aint No Ways Tired – (Obama Edition)
Obama, the not-post partisan, not post-racial, southern accent pandering, division broadening, buddy-buddy with Reverend Wright, race war starting candidate from 2007. Link to Daily Caller posted video Transcript link of prepared remarks lifted from Hot Air.
Remember, Remember the…6th of November…
Remember Remember the 6th of November The day we sent Obama Packing get to the polls and check off the rolls for liberty and freedom are lacking. OK. It’s a bit rough. I suspect you can all do better and by all means please do. (Yes, I have absconded Guy Fawkes day+1 and the quote … Read more
In D+8 CNN Poll -Race Statistically Tied
As Allahpundit points out on Hot Air, 2008 (the banner year for Democrats) was only D+7 and no one expects that kind of turnout this year. But that does not mean we will not continue to see polling skewed even further to make an Obama victory appear inevitable. The only way Obama can win is … Read more
Romney is losing! I predict a landslide or near landslide…
…for Romney. Remember, you heard it right here first, at New Hampshire’s very own GraniteGrok.com (and yes, we do “dominate the political bandwidth in the Live Free or Die state).
Whaaaat!?! Don’t I know that…
“Hello There, Voter!”
This is really funny. Michele and I went to a great movie yesterday afternoon with Bruce Willis in it (Looper). When we came out, I found a little…sticker on my van’s driver-side window. You know, one of those little Post-It notes you use in the office? Here it is….
Rows of ‘O’s
Thanks to Grok contributor Mike Rogers, wherever he may be today, for sending this around. I proudly post it in his name. (with a slight mod by me.)
Royal Treatment
Author Robert Keith Gray has written a book called ‘Presidential Perks gone Royal. In his book he points out that the amount of tax money spent on this First Family,I’ll call it the Obama Dynasty, has risen tremendously.
For perspective, last year, according to Gray, Britain spent 57.8 Million to keep up appearances for entire Royal Family. Americans spent 1.4 Billion on the Obama Presidency. (That’s just for one year.)
Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the “total cost of the presidency,” factoring the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,” a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.”
To quote Mel Brooks. “Its good to be the king.“
Michelle Obama’s nationalized school lunch menu – a bit more
Steve has done good work in covering the fiasco-in-progress (here and here), so I have just a bit to add to the story: One government official tried to put the blame on the students. “One thing I think we need to keep in mind as kids say they’re still hungry is that many children aren’t … Read more
Pat Condell: I think
“Let me get this straight. We’re supposed to show tolerance and respect for a religion that doesn’t know the meaning of either word and goes out of its way to prove it every day?”
“All week we’ve heard Muslims telling us that we in the West need to understand how important the prophet is to them. We do understand, and we don’t care… we don’t give a damn about your feelings. Our feelings are more important, and our feelings tell us that we’re sick to the back teeth of hearing about your religion, so stick a sock in it.”
Respect is earned in the West – not demanded. It is also a two way street – when Muslims think it is one way only and that our Rights are something to be sacrificed on your Alter of an Honor-Society. Of COURSE there are Dhimmis in the West that will bow so low that you Islamists might think they are showing respect. Or, at least the Dhimmis think they are showing something akin to “respect”. You Islamists know better – their Neville Chamberlin show-alikeis merely a mask of something more dangerous to us: fear. You smell weakness in our elected American leaders, Barry and Hillary – you’re smiling as half of your work is already accomplished. That commercial that the State Department ran in Pakistan of President Obama and Sec. of State Hillary prostrating themselves over an American exercising their First Amendment Right was not just a waste of $70K of taxpayers monies, they merely showed us how partisan they are – and not on the side of the traditional American way of life. Free Speech means being able to say what we want, when we want, where we want, and about what we want – and whether it offends you or not.
And they are embarrassed about it. And that is the saddest thing of all.
If there’s a Flag, there’s gotta be a Pledge, yes?
With the now “down the Memory Hole” Obama Flag (as observed by Grokster Tim), there has to be words for that Flag, right? OK, a 15 second off-the-top-of-my-head one-off (and I really don’t want to think about it any longer than that – the whole idea is just plain cultish-creepy) along with this campaign’s Pledgers to Obama:
I pledge allegiance to the “O”
of the United cult of Obama,
and to the useful idiot collectivism for which it stands
One Kingdom under the Organizer,
Divider,
with redistribution and socialism for the rest of us
And if after that, you can’t remember the real thing (given that some schools and teachers no longer believe in filling young skulls full of mush such nonsense), go after the jump. In the meantime, here are a bunch of those cultists (otherwise known as “entertainers”) who actually did pledge allegiance to Obama back in 2008:
Founders: Government exists to create environment for citizens to create wealth. Obama: Government exists to extract wealth from citizens
We remember back to the Declaration of Independence: “pursuit of happiness”, which the meaning of the Founders for the word “happiness” was Private Property. The founding philosophy was that Government was to be a neutral player; it set the table in a flat, even handed fashion in creating the rules and then backed out of the way and let citizens go about creating their wealth in a manner they saw fit, with the intensity of effort and innovation that fit them and their goals.
Winners and Losers picked by Government as a matter of course? Nope!
Obama seemingly has never had that as a grounding philosophy – raised by a mother who had a philosophy, by all accounts I’ve read, of an anti-Americanism, fathers / husbands that left she and Barry after some period of time, spending formative years in Hawaii at the “Red Church”, and mentored by outright Socialists, Marxists, and Communists. By his own hand:
To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structured feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpets or set our stereos so loud the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling conventions…
And in my opinion, never truly learned what American Exceptionalism is all about; instead, he was taught to despise it. And he became the President without really understanding in his soul what America was all about – only a black Marxist nightmare doppelganger of it. I will say one thing – he hid it well until it was too late for us. Now, in yet another piece of vetting (that the MSM should have done before the LAST election), it comes out that ““When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody” in 2007 was being formulated well before that in 1998:
What that means then is that as we try to resuscitate this notion that we’re all in this thing together, leave nobody behind, we do have to be innovative and thinking what are the delivery systems that are actually effective and meet people where they live. And my suggestion, I guess would be that the trick, and this is one of the few areas where I think there are technical issues that have to be dealt with as opposed to just political issues. I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure everybody’s got a shot.
And now for a bit of honesty…
I guess he’s sitting in a heavily Conservative district or in one with a WHOLE BUNCH of Obummed voters (who will not be stating the same pledge as last time). (H/T: Maggie’s Farm)
Data Point: Household Incomes down 8.2% under Obama Administration
Note: the time limit for Obama to keep blaming Bush has expired. The time limit has been reached and expired in which Obama can keep blaming what he inherited – he campaigned for the job. Note: this is a result of his Administration, his ideology, his grasp of systematic economics, and his skill as a … Read more
Data Point – Obama: “We’re going to work with your employer to lower the cost of your premiums by up to $2,500 a year.”
Not quite, sport: Obama has lowered your premium by -$5,500 (for those of you in Rio Linda, that means instead of saving you $2,500 a year, it is now costing you $3,000 MORE a year (a difference of $5,500 that is no longer in your pocket or your employer that helps to pay your premium) … Read more
‘Our Stripes’ Disappears in the Night
The now infamous Obama Flag print with the Anal ‘O’ and five bloody stripes has apparently found the flat edge of the internet world and been consumed by the ethereal monsters that swell the memory abyss. One of the duck-and-cover guards at Big ‘O’ is claiming it sold out, but BuzzFeed observed that other items … Read more
The Obama Flag…
…and the bloodied wall in Benghazi. The wall was apparently smeared with blood when an American clutched at it as he was being dragged out to be murdered. The Obama Flag.
November is coming….
…and you don’t need to tell that to the people in Centreville, Virginia. Obama visited them on Saturday, July 14, 2012. Here’s what he saw….
What Happens If Obama Wins?
This is a direct question to my Libertarian leaning friends who claim to have a love of liberty so deep that they would rather watch it bleed out on the street than vote for Mitt Romney. I get it. I was never a huge Romney guy. I was no fan of John McCain either but I understood he risk that Obama represented to liberty. Not enough of us did and Obama was elected.
So here we are again, almost four years into the worst presidency ever, a world in chaos, economic, political, and that same guy wants four more years. Is it really worth the risk?
And just to be clear, I do not care about your Gary Johnson or Ron Paul write-in fantasies. We are way, way past that. This is the real world. This is about putting Liberty on life support. About keeping it breathing. To stop the bleeding before there is nothign left to save. And color it any way you want but voting for anyone but Romney (at this point) is a vote for Obama. I don’t like it, but that’s how it is. And while you are free to vote for whomever you like regardless, no matter what the risk, I want you to honestly answer this question first, before you go to the polls in November and risk it.
What Happens if Obama Wins?
(And for those intent on going off on some libertarian anti-Romney rant…The almighty says don’t change the subject just answer the F…ing Question.)
