Obama to act without Congresses Approval!
He wants to be our dictator! And we are going to
let him! He and the other progressives are so arrogant that even when the
majority of the people and the duly elected representatives of these people say
NO to an issue that HE and THEY think should be done then he uses his executive
orders to by-pass the process! Just like he has given the illegals in the
country de-facto clemency by ordering ICE agents not to arrest or deport the
majority of them! I thought we had the 3 distinct branches of government the
legislative, judicial, and executive! I thought this was done so one branch
couldn't act without the other 2 in agreement to prevent anyone from becoming
too powerful! I am wondering how Obama can just do what he wants through
executive order! Isn't that a dictator? I can't think of any other word! If you
read your history this is how dictators in the past came to power! They
persuaded the people that they had all the answers and all they needed was the
power to act! And we all know how these situations turned out! Executive orders can be overturned by either of the other
two branches: the Supreme Court can do so through a case that is brought in
front of them and Congress can do so by passing legislation that would conflict
with the order or by refusing to approve funding to enforce it. The president
still has the right to veto a decision from Congress, which Congress can
override as always with a two-thirds majority that would end the executive
order. However, this is nearly
impossible because of the supermajority vote that is required as well as the
fact that individual lawmakers can be left very vulnerable to political
criticism. Basically this means our legislators don’t have the ballocks or
gonads to do what is right! Our legislators today are sooo scared of upsetting
special groups they have become basically paralyzed! I really think they like
the executive order because it gives them political cover! For instance with
the illegal alien issue, when they all get amnesty and can vote, these
legislators can say they didn’t vote against it! Let us ALL understand what a
slippery slope we are getting into! Once we as a country let us be ruled by
executive order than you really need to understand what that means! Basically we
would now have in fact a dictator! I
think we as a people have become so lazy when it comes to politics we care more
about American Idol then what’s happening in Washington! As you sow, so shall you reap! I think it’s time we started thinking
about what type of country we are going to leave to our grand-children?
Amnisty for Illegals! Another Comment!
Why don't we just open our borders and let anyone who
wants to come in come in. Today we seem to want to reward the criminals that
broke the law to get here and punish the ones who are trying to come in
legally! What's with our country? If you commit a crime you should have to pay!
Don't tell me they have done this for a better life for them and their
children! You could say the same thing about drug dealers! I don't see any
amnesty for them? I hope you supporters of amnesty understand how allowing 12
to 20 million illegals the right to vote will change the landscape of our
country!? Also I thought our lawmakers are sworn in to obey the law and support
the constitution? How can they support these law breakers! Obama has already
given illegal aliens in the country today de-facto amnesty by instructing ICE
not to arrest or deport most of them that are already here! I am sorry but all
of this talk of amnesty and allowing illegals who are criminals be given
one of the greatest gifts on earth, that is citizenship to the US just makes me
sick! An watching an illegal march in my streets demanding rights that they
don't deserve also makes me sick! I am old and will be dead soon but I am
really concerned and worried about what this administration and the progressive
movement will leave my grandchildren!

2014 and Beyond!
2014 and Beyond!
As we move into 2014 there is
renewed effort by the Democratic Party or as they should now be known as the Progressive
Party to do whatever it takes to stay in power! The reason I say that
is I believe that true Democrats still believe in the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights! I also believe that true Democrats still believe that we are a
Christian nation! I don’t think these so called Progressives believe in either!
All the progressives want is to control the population! How can they do this? Before I continue lets
define who “they” are! “They” are us!
What we all have to face is everyone complains about the “Government or
They” which was duly elected by Americans in 2008 and 2012! Maybe we as a
people want to trade in our freedoms in favor of Big Brother taking care of us
from cradle to grave! One big way “they” can stay in power is through Economics.
Let’s talk about the economic destruction in the U.S.! Four years ago, then Senator
Obama ran for President, promising to fundamentally change America. Based
on that goal, his Administration’s economic program has been an extraordinary
success! The combination of below average economic growth, high
unemployment and his Administration’s initiatives to expand the number of
welfare recipients have produced:
An increase of 18 million people, to 46
million Americans now receiving food stamps; A 122% increase in food stamp
spending to an estimated $89 billion this year from $40 billion in 2008; An
increase of 3.6 million people receiving Social Security disability payments; A
10 million person increase in the number of individuals receiving welfare, to
107 million, or more than one-third of the U.S. population; A 34%, $683
billion reduction in the adjusted gross income of the top 1% to $1.3 trillion
in 2009 (latest data) from its 2007 peak. This essentially
has created a very large voting block that will never vote for anyone trying to
reduce government spending! And the predictions and expectations from experts
indicate this trend will continue if we stay the economic course we are on.
Adding Obama Care to the mix almost guarantees the US will go broke by 2020! By
then the majority of Americans will be dependent on the Government for food,
shelter, clothing and medical care! We will be like a third world country
depending on China because at that time they will grow into the world superpower
in the East, and because of Obama’s naiveté and bungling of foreign policy in
the west Russia is now the most influential country with our old NATO friends because
of the oil and gas they provide!

Vatican Monsignor Nunzio Scarano charged with monet laundering!
Monsignor
Nunzio Scarano spent two decades working as a Vatican accountant
A
senior Italian cleric has been charged with laundering millions through the
Vatican bank, police say.
Monsignor
Nunzio Scarano is already on trial and under house arrest on separate charges
of plotting to smuggle 20m euros ($26m; £17m) into Italy.
The
former Vatican accountant and two other people were served with arrest warrants
on Tuesday, police said.
COMMENT:
“…But those who want to get
rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires
which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the "LOVE" of money
is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away
from their faith and pierced themselves with many grief's!” Timothy 6:10. All
good detectives and investigators always say follow the money when crimes are
committed! Even so called crimes of passion usually have money or property as
the main motive! If you really look at the repugnant society we have built for
ourselves and our grandchildren, it is obvious it is driven for the “LOVE” of
money! TV shows, Movies, Music, Internet, and iPhones! Could go on forever! All
driven by the “LOVE” of money and used to spread evil around the globe,
especially to our children nowadays! Of course it’s difficult for today’s
parents to control because most of them were raised on, “SEX, DRUGS and ROCK
& ROLL”! Where will this new
generation take us? Into this mystical cloud that everyone is talking about,
once in will we ever be able to get out? If a Vatican Monsignor can be seduced
by today’s society and its “LOVE” of money, what chance do we have? P.S.
Parents use Net Nanny or other internet tracking and restricting software for your
children’s devices even now available on Android! I used this on all of our
computers when we had teenagers and also required them to use a centralized
family computer and no access from their bedrooms! Made them very angry but I
think that is my job!

Vladimir Putin as Leader and Obama on Legalizing Pot
Vladimir Putin as Leader
Whatever you think of
Vladimir Putin, he was not in a "Choom Gang", or called his
grandmother "a typical white person!"! Also he seems to love his
country! What a novel idea as a leader, would be nice if we had that here! And
it appears that more and more people are looking at Vladimir as the world leader
as opposed to Obama! Putin made Obama and the U.S. look like amateurs and fools
when dealing with Syria! Much could go wrong, but for the moment, Putin has
advanced Russia's interests not only in Syria, but more broadly. By the time
Obama leaves office his naïveté in foreign policy will lead to Putin being the
most influential leader in the world! Russia is also building an economic
empire through oil and gas! Many of our so called allies in Europe get their energy
from Russia! I don’t think they love us enough to lose that! More and more they
will lean toward Russia when the chips are down! If he can coordinate and lead all of the
countries around the world that hate us, the
Soviet Union will look like a picnic!
Obama on Legalizing Pot
What do you expect from our leader who created the “Choom Gang” while in high school. Where he and his “buds!” would go to their hang outs called
Pumping Stations ! That’s where our now president had intimate knowledge of Maui Wowie, Kauai Electric, Puna Bud, and Kona Gold. Obama was apparently known for starting pot-smoking trends within the group. He coined the term "total absorption," or TA. Basically, anyone who exhaled smoke prematurely would be assessed a penalty, and skipped the next time the joint was passed around. His other innovation was the "roof hit," in which the Choom Gang would roll up the windows of a car and smoke inside. Once all the weed was gone, they would tilt their heads back and suck in the remaining smoke from the car ceiling. Our future president’s supplier was a pizza delivery guy name “Ray the Dealer!” and in his senior yearbook, Obama expressed his gratitude: "Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times." While Obama was attending Occidental College in Los Angeles, Obama's sponsored what were called the Annex Olympics; events included wrestling in underwear, lighting farts on fire, and smoking pot from a three-foot crimson bong. Any other politician with this type of background would have not gotten elected President of the United States! Probably not even asked to run or get nominated! Question is why did he get a pass? And it makes you wonder what else is back there? We now know from Benghazi, the NSA scandal, the Post Office debacle, and Obama Care the he is a liar! I think he may have been smoking pot when he let Putin rush in and supposedly solve the Syrian crisis politically which now give him and Russia more sway in the Middle East than ever before! They say that pot stays in your system for a long time …. As much as he smoked there could be quite a lot still in there and this may give a clue on his weird behavior!

Equality Versus Liberty - by John Stossel
Equality Versus Liberty
One percent owns 35 percent! So what?
John Stossel | January 8,
2014
President
Barack Obama says income inequality is "dangerous ... the defining
challenge of our time." The pope is upset that capitalism causes
inequality. Progressives, facing the failures of Obamacare, are eager to change
the subject to America's "wealth gap."
It's
true that today, the richest one percent of Americans own a third of America's
wealth. One percent owns 35 percent!
But I
say, so what? Progressives in the media claim that the rich get richer at the
expense of the poor.
But
that's a lie.
Hollywood
sells the greedy-evil-capitalists-cheat-the-poor message with movies like
Martin Scorsese's new film, "The Wolf of Wall Street," which portrays
stock sellers as sex-crazed criminals. Years before, Oliver Stone's "Wall
Street" created a creepy financier, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael
Douglas, who smugly gloated, "It's a zero-sum game. Somebody wins;
somebody loses."
This
is how the left sees the market: a zero-sum game. If someone makes money, he
took it from everyone else. The more the rich have, the less others have. It's
as if the economy is a pie that's already on the table, waiting to be carved.
The bigger the piece the rich take, the less that's left for everyone else. The
economy is just a fight over who gets how much.
But
this is absurd. Bill Gates took a huge slice of pie, but he didn't take it from
me. By starting Microsoft, he baked millions of new pies. He made the rest of
the world richer, too. Entrepreneurs create things.
Over
the past few decades, the difference in wealth between the rich and poor has
grown. This makes people uncomfortable. But why is it a problem if the poor
didn't get poorer?
Progressives
claim they did. Some cite government data that show middle class incomes
remaining relatively stagnant. But this data is misleading, too. It leaves out
all government handouts, like rent subsidies and food stamps. It leaves out
benefits like company-funded health insurance and pensions, which make up
increasing portions of people's pay.
And
it leaves out the innovation that makes life better for both the rich and poor.
Even poor people today have access to cars, food, health care, entertainment
and technology that rich people lusted for a few decades ago. Ninety percent of
Americans living "below the poverty line" have smart phones, cable TV
and cars. Seventy percent own two cars.
But
hold on, says the left. Even if the poor reap some benefits from capitalism,
it's just not "fair" that rich people have so much more. I suppose
this is true. But what exactly is "fair"?
Is it
fair that models are so good-looking? Why is it fair that some men are so much
bigger than I, so no one will pay me to play pro sports? It's hardly fair that
I was born in America, a country that offers me far greater opportunities than
most other countries would. We Americans should be thankful that life is not fair!
Freedom
isn't fair, if fair means equal. When people are free, some will be more
successful than others. Some people are smarter or just luckier. Globalization
and free-market capitalism multiply the effect of smarts and luck, allowing
some people to get much richer than others. So what? Inequality may seem
unfair, but the alternative—government-forced equality—is worse. It leaves
everyone poor.
Opportunity
is much more important than equality, and there is still income mobility in
America. People born poor don't necessarily stay poor.
Pew
research shows 58 percent of the kids born to the poorest fifth of families
rose to a higher income group. Six percent rose all the way from the bottom
fifth to the top fifth.
Sixty-one
percent of kids born to the richest fifth of families fell from that group, and
9 percent fell all the way to the bottom.
Opportunity
requires allowing people to take risks and make changes. We won't always like
the outcomes. But over the long haul, we're still better off if people are free
to strive and fail, or maybe—reap big rewards.

Cutting Cable, GPS and Digital Camera's!
Cutting Cable, GPS and Digital Camera's!
Cable TV: It's ok to cut the cable if you don't to watch ESPN live or NatGeo, or any other Discovery Channel live! You can use the other services but it's all old stuff! I have friends who have cut the cable and are left out the next morning around the water cooler when a show was amazing! For instance the day after the fall finale of Son's of Anarchy or the Walking Dead. They were the talk of the office except for those who had cut their cable! They had to wait a day... by that time it was old news! And every football fan who generally didn't get to watch Thursday night or Monday night football! I guess that's ok if you don't mind recording and just hope someone doesn't mention the score the next day! GPS: Sure you can get it through your phone but it's not good if you have to make a call or receive one. Also these are phones not really a GPS system, so they're are not as good! Yes, a lot of cars have a GPS system built in, but if I want to enter multiple addresses like before my wife and I go to garage sales in the morning I'd rather do it from the comfort of my den watching all the cable channels others can't get! Also I can take my GPS with me in another vehicle if someone else wants to drive! Digital Camera's: I don't understand your comments, the DSLR camera's are digital! People are just upgrading! Also there isn't a cell phone out that that can do all the things a digital camera can do and the pictures are so much better. You can really see the difference when you load them down to your computer. Plus you generally have a larger choice of the megapixels you can use, not to mention the array of lenses you can get! Yes you can cut cable, trash your GPS and use your phone to take pictures, but just realize you are going to be giving up features you may not be aware of. My son cut his cable and went full out buying the HD Antenna, Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime, and iTunes! He went back to cable when he just couldn't give up Mike and Mike in the morning. For me it would be NatGeo and the Smithsonian channels!
Pope's stance on Gay's!
Pope's stance on Gay's!
A Maltese bishop said that in a private conversation with
Pope Francis about same-sex marriage and adoption of children, the pontiff
affirmed to him that same-sex marriage is “an anthropological regression.” This
is good second hand info that will not stand up in court! If that is what the
Pope thinks he needs to go on TV or give in interview and say it!
If he is letting his minions carry this message and still trying to whew the gay community with the other quote, then he's no better than any other politician out there playing both sides of the street! Homosexuality; is a mortal sin or not? I think the Pope needs to make this clear to everyone! If it is then state so, if not then we need to reevaluate all mortal sins in light of this new progressive society. This reminds me of Obama's stance on illegal aliens! They're breaking the law but not being prosecuted for it! In some cases actually being rewarded! So, Pope Francis I think you need to clarify this issue to the 1 billion Catholics around the globe! Also if you decide that homosexuality is not a mortal sin (since you speak for God and are infallible when speaking of religious matters!) then you will need to work with God to release all of the gays who died under the old law and having been spending time in hell!
