I won't even bother to comment on most of these, except to say...how can anybody believe that the United States is better off now than four years ago?
"Jobless claims rise 382,000 in latest week" An Obama Labor Department official blamed Hurricane Isaac for the increase. If they weren't destroying the country, Obama and his people could be really funny sometimes.
"Inflation jumps; wholesale gas up most in 3 years"
"Obama
rejects Netanyahu meeting, invites Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood president to
talk"
"Median
income lowest since 1995"
"Lower class grows..."
"Rich-Poor Gap Widens to Most Since 1967..." I thought that was what Obama was supposed to cure.
"Michelle O: Being fat 'Greatest Threat to National Security." I kid you not, folks, she said it.
"Dollar Weakens Before Fed Move"
"Protesters
storm American embassy in Yemen"
"US Flags Burned at Tunisia embassy"
"New Clashes in Cairo"
"Consulate in Berlin evacuated"
"Iraqi militia threatens U.S. interests"
Let's have four more years of this....
**********
And if I didn't already know how brain dead, ignorant, and downright stupid millions of Americans are, then this poll figure would convince me. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 47% of Americans (polled) trusted Obama in job creation compared to only 45% who trusted Romney more. Here's a man who has never created a job in his life, against a man who worked, very successfully, in the private sector and created countless jobs and thus knows how to do it....and yet more Americans trust Obama to create jobs than Romney. Brain dead. People just don't care. That's what Romney is up against. People don't know or care about the well-being of the country. They are going to vote Obama, and not one single, solitary shred of evidence will ever convince them to do otherwise. That's frightening, for people who cannot, or who refuse to think for themselves, can and will be led by demagogues. And demagogues have killed countless of hundreds of millions of people in history.
More Interesting Headlines and Stuff
This isn't a headline, but is the first paragraph of a New York Post article regarding the attack on the American embassy in Libya two days ago:
"US officials are increasingly suspicious that the murder Tuesday of the US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other American officials was not the result of a protest against an anti-Islam film, but instead was a coordinated terror strike timed for the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks."
I can only shake my head in amazement. How long did it take these "US officials" to figure this out? This is an absolutely horrendous failure of American foreign policy, and yes, Barack Obama is to blame. Liberals don't get it that, to radical Muslims, 9/11 is a day to celebrate, not apologize for or mourn over. Everyone of America's embassies and consulates in the Middle East should have been triple-prepared, on that day, for something to happen. And then, intially, they want to blame some movie maker for offending Muslims? I doubt very seriously that those people in Libya and Cairo knew a thing about that movie. 9/11 is an anniversary to them and America should have been prepared.
One fellow asked a great question: if Obama is so concerned with feelings
in the Muslim world, why is he bragging so much about killing Osama bin Laden?
Why am I not surprised that we weren't prepared for what happened two days ago? Well, here are a couple of reasons:
Headline number 1: "President Skips More Than Half of Intel Briefings...Report: Spent 412 hours in economic meetings, 600 hours on the golf course"
Obama doesn't know what's going on because he doesn't care. On top of that, even if he did, his whole philosophy makes it impossible for him to successfully deal with any major policy issue in the country. You cannot apologize your way to national greatness or tax and regulate your way to economic growth.
Headline number 2: "White House declines Netanyahu request to meet with Obama...'Schedule Full'...Announces 'Letterman' Appearance..."
Appearing on the David Letterman show is more important to the President of the United States than meeting with the head of state of one of our best friends from a country in one of the most vital, strategic, and volatile regions of the world. Jimmy Carter was George Washington compared to this guy.
And an economic headline that explains why there has been no recovery under this administration: "Obama Adds 11,327 Pages of Regulations in Three Years...18 pages to define 'full-time employee' for Obamacare..."
"You didn't build that...." Well, nobody is going to build anything if Barack Obama remains President....

To the Democrats, Tyranny is a Success
Besides the killing of Osama bin Laden (which was accomplished by troops sent to the Middle East by George Bush), about the only "success" Obama is touting for his administration is "saving the auto industry"--the bailout of GM and Chrysler. "I saved the auto industry!" he champions. Only to Obama and liberals could tyranny be trumpeted as a success.
Why do I say this? Well, let's consider. Why did the auto industry (GM and Chrysler) need a "bailout" in the first place? Put aside for a moment the horribly destructive role of the unions and the increasing number of non-productive retirees who were supported lavishly by the productive workers. Anybody with an ounce of economic sense would be able to see that such was a recipe for eventual disaster. But, again, set that aside and let me ask another question.
Why did the auto industry almost go bankrupt? Basically, it was for the same reason any other company goes belly-up--it didn't provide consumers the products they wanted at prices they were willing to pay. The American people, by and large, didn't want GM products. A company like that should fail; if they don't provide what people want, they shouldn't be in business. It happens every day. But here comes Obama and forces the American people to support an industry they did not want to support on their own! Forcibly taking people's money (taxes) and giving it to an entity they would not/did not voluntarily support is not freedom, folks. It's tyranny. This is only a "success" if you believe, with Obama and the Democrats, that government knows better how to spend your money than you do. To Obama, tyranny is a success.
Actually, the bailout was for one reason--to save the unions, one of Obama's most slavish supporters. It certainly wasn't for the good of the American people; they had spoken, loudly and clearly, with their pocketbooks, on the future of GM and Chrysler. But, increasingly the federal government--and the Democratic Party almost absolutely--governs against the will of the people. I grant you, most people are stupid and do stupid things with their money. But freedom means people have that right, and often will learn from their mistakes if not "saved" from the consequences of those mistakes by those who think they know better, but more often than not don't, because...well, who put them in power in the first place?
Give Stupidity the vote, and it will elect Stupidity, Give Immorality the vote, and it will elect Immorality. And Stupidity and Immorality in power, Stupidity and Immorality with an army and a legislative pen, is a whole lot more dangerous than Stupidity and Immorality left to its own devices.

"The Loftiest of Hopes and The Greatest of Expectations"
Dana Milbank, a liberal Washington Post columnist, wrote an article, published September 7, entitled "Obama the demigod comes down to Earth." The first line was about the just-concluded Democratic National Convention: "It began, like the Obama presidency itself, with the loftiest of hopes and the
greatest of expectations." Alas, for so many, those hopes and expectations have been dashed. Sad, but far from astonishing.
No one, who truly understands the meaning of existence on this earth, is the least bit surprised that Barack Obama has been a wretched failure as President of the United States. The fact that there ever were such "hopes" and "expectations" is decisive evidence of how far men have drifted from God and the eternal principles of truth that flow from His very nature. There was no way, from the very beginning, that Barack Obama could succeed, because, not only was he totally unqualified for the position in the first place, but, more importantly, what he believes--and has tried to put into practice--is just wrong. More than ever, it is strikingly self-evident to the wise that the Bible is right, and that the principles and examples found in God's Word, and illustrated repeatedly throughout the history of mankind, are once again being confirmed. Verily, because God does not immediately punish men for their sins (Ecclesiastes 8:11), there are times when the "wicked prosper" (Job 21:7; Jeremiah 12:1). But men cannot mock God forever, and where evil might succeed, for a time, on a limited platform, it can only prove disastrous when attempted on a grander one. Democracies always fail, because they end up compromising the truth to please the ignorant, selfish, pleasure-seeking majorities who elect people just like themselves. And the farther a democracy moves away from the truth, the more rapidly it declines; the "left" will destroy a country more quickly and thoroughly than the "right." Barack Obama is the most radical leftist President the United States has ever had; the country will survive (I guess), but never recover from, four more years of his and the Democratic Pary's deliberate booing of God. The fact that Obama has a strong chance of re-election is, as I have written repeatedly, a full indication of how tragically far America has sunk into an immoral slime pit.
The only "hope" I had when Barack Obama was elected was that God would be patient enough with America to allow it to survive four years of rampant debauchery that was sure to come, but my "expectations" have been fully met--an insidious President who operates in direct denial of history, economic, and moral law. His failure was a given. Nor am I the least bit surprised that countless millions of people still do not see it. You cannot know what you have not been taught, and the greatest tragedy of all in America, and the world, is abysmal ignorance of God's Word. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). Written about 2800 years ago, yet that bells tolls as clearly today as it did in the 8th century B. C.

The Democrats and God
Rush had a great line about the Democratic delegates at the convention: they booed God and cheered Bill Clinton. That pretty much describes the modern day Democratic Party. They hate righteousness and holiness, and they love adulterers and liars. Not to mention homosexuals, abortionists, law-breakers, sluts, and moochers.
The Republicans have put out an ad/video: "They booed God three times." How the mighty have fallen...

Some More Interesting Headlines
The headlines keep telling us what is happening in the United States. Here's one that should surprise no one:
Headline #1: "Democrats Drop 'God' From Party Platform"
Well, at the least the Democrats are finally honest about something. Their party platform doesn't mention God at all, which given their policies, is exactly what should happen. No political party, no human being, who believes in abortion, homosexual marriage, feminism, etc. should use the word "God" in any context, except to say either, "I hate God," or "I don't believe in God." In this case--for once--the Democrats did exactly what they should have done.
No, actually, of course, they should return to God, but since they aren't going to do that, and since they insist on defending some of the most egregiously immoral activities human beings can engage in, they should indeed distance themselves, as far as possible, from their Creator. They can explain to Him why when they meet Him.
Headline # 2: "Convicted murderer gets taxpayer-funded sex change"
This certainly goes a long way to explain why the United States is now $16 trillion in debt. A federal judge claims this pervert, who killed his wife, is entitled to Americans paying for his perversion because he has "gender-identity disorder." How in the world any sensible, rational, thinking, even semi-intelligent human being can come to a conclusion like this is completely beyond my ability to comprehend. The United States government doesn't have the money, Judge Blithering Idiot, and to force decent human beings to pay for this is disgusting and tyrannical beyond description. Well, maybe Joe Biden could explain it if it wasn't so hot....
Oh, wait a minute, I'm sorry, it's right there in Article One, Section Eight, of the Constitution, the powers given to Congress: "Money shall be forcibly extracted from unwilling taxpayers to pay for sex changes for murderers." Clearly a power the Founders gave to Congress....
Headline #3: "DNC Video: 'The Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To'"
This speaks volumes about the beliefs of the Democratic Party. I've got news for these tyrants: we are citizens of the United States, we don't "belong" to any government, the government belongs to us! Government isn't some kind of "club" we are all members of. Government exists for one reason, and one reason, only--to serve its citizens as efficiently, thriftly, and virtuously as possible, to protect their property (not redistribute it) from enemies, within and without, who would threaten it, and otherwise leave the people alone to pursue their own socially productive goals. Some Republicans (not many) know this; no Democrats do, as this headline testifies.
**********
And some interesting facts: Unemployment was 7.8% when Barack Obama took office. It's now 8.3%. Median household income was almost $55,000. It's now less than $51,000. Gas was at $1.85 a gallon when he took office. Now, it's $3.78, almost doubled. National debt was $10.6 trillion and it will go past $16 trillion this week.
And yet, in my opinion, Barack Obama still has a better-than-even chance to get re-elected. This just isn't the same United States as it was, even 32 years ago, when Ronald Reagan was elected over a bumbling incumbent who, frankly, wasn't nearly as radical or incompetent as Barack Obama. You just can't hold back the tide.

Some Interesting Recent Headlines
Some interesting recent headlines garnered from hither and yon.
Headline number one: “Actress Hopes Storm (Hurricane Isaac) Kills 'Every Pro-Life, Xenophobic, Gay-Bashing SOB'…”
I forget the name of the paragon of moral righteousness who uttered these virtuous words; some thing out of Hollywood, a woman, I had never heard of her. It reminds us to never forget that there is much more to the current political climate in America than just economics. “Pro-life” means she hates people who oppose the murdering of babies. “Xenophobic” means she does not object when millions of people break the law. And “gay-bashing” needs no explanation. These people are a significant part of Barack Obama’s base.
A huge percentage, well over a majority, and probably over 90%, of the Democratic Party’s support comes from the morally base (white liberals), the dependent, Hispanics, and blacks. Look at the current state of Hollywood, Europe, Latin America, and Africa and you will see where the Democratic Party is taking America.
Headline number two: “Chinese media slams Romney as convention begins.”
There is, of course, the Marxist element that also loves Obama. It isn’t small in the United States. For all its “openness,” the leadership of China is still in the hands of the Communist Party, which is the greatest enemy of freedom the world has ever seen. So any condemnation of Mitt Romney by the state-controlled Chinese media is as good an endorsement as any condemnation of Mitt Romney by the Obama-controlled American media.

And this third headline caused me to laugh. I don’t know why, it’s not necessarily funny, it’s just so….characteristic, so typical…of the kind of human being Barack Obama is. I am almost convinced (I don’t like to read anybody’s heart) that Obama hates America, so anything to do with honoring those who defend and protect the United States has to be anathema and repulsive to him. Anyway,
Headline number three: “Obama Honors Fallen SEALs By Sending Parents Form Letter Signed By Electric Pen...”
What an insult. Men who die protecting the principles that allowed him to become President of the United States, and Obama can’t do more than send them a form letter which he won’t even sign. But then, he’s too busy raising money and trying to retain power to give a second thought to the people he is supposed to govern.
On August 11, 2010, George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, went personally to the Dallas-Fort Worth airport to greet 150 Iraqi/Afghanistan returning war veterans. But then, George Bush is a great American.
**********
And, here is an interesting little tidbit from Walter Williams’ most recent column. Obama and the Democrats are constantly calling out for the rich to pay their “fair share” of taxes, but we are never told what that “fair share” is. It would be 100% if Obama spoke the truth. But, the question is, how much are “the rich” paying in taxes? Williams:
“According to IRS 2007 data, the richest 1 percent of Americans earned 22 percent of national personal income but paid 40 percent of all personal income taxes. The top 5 percent earned 37 percent and paid 61 percent of personal income tax. The top 10 percent earned 48 percent and paid 71 percent of all personal income taxes. The bottom 50 percent earned 12 percent of personal income but paid just 3 percent of income tax revenues.”
Dr. Williams goes on to point out what is well-known: currently, 47% of Americans pay no federal income tax at all. Why should they be interested in an income tax cut, since they aren’t paying any taxes to begin with? And, indeed, a “tax cut” might scare them, because it might mean a cut in government revenue, which might mean a cut in their welfare check, which might mean—God forbid!—they would have to go out and work for a living. Not all 47% of these people are bums, of course…but a lot of them are. And guess whom they will vote for? “Yeah, take more from the rich…and give it to me!” It’s exactly what Barack Obama wants to do.
These Are Obama's People

Make no mistake about it, folks, the left WILL have violence. When they need it, and when they can get away with it, they...will...have...violence!

The Awakening
A
lot of people are finally waking up to what modern liberalism and its
subjective, atheistic morality is all about.
The question is, is it too late, and it almost certainly is.
America
was built by decent people—“Decent America,” I will call them. These people were—are--honest, hard-working,
moral, ethical people. They have a
conscience. They aren’t perfect, of
course, but they try to live good, clean, wholesome lives, with a sense of
integrity, propriety, politeness, and honor. That is obviously the kind of people a country
wants. But these folks also tend to be a
little naïve. It is hard for them to
think in a different way, and it is especially hard for them to realize that
there are people who do NOT think that way, that there literally exists humans
who are totally amoral, with no sense of decency, fairness, or uprightness—people
who have no virtue, no ethics, no conscience at all. The “decent” mind rebels against thinking
that way about others; there is just something in their mind that repudiates
the idea that someone would deliberately, premeditatively lie—or worse--just
for personal gain. We know it happens; the
history of liberalism, the left, in the 20th century is too close in
time—the Nazis, the communists, the atheistic horrors that slaughtered dozens
of millions of innocent human beings.
And history is full of such stories.
We know, intellectually, that to be the case, though our minds still
have difficulty grasping the horror, the reality that humans could actually
behave this way.
But
America is different, isn’t it? Surely
no one in America could think in such a fashion…
The
Awakening may be occurring. Yes, it can
happen in America because the exact same moral system--atheistic subjectivism—that
actuated Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al—underlies
the American left, too. And while the
Democrats in America haven’t started killing people yet (that we know of),
character assassination and “the end justifies the means” philosophy is
certainly increasingly evident in their actions. That has recently been evidenced in two major
events.
Harry
Reid, the Democratic Senate Majority Leader, was lying when he said somebody
from Bain Capital called him and told him Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10
years. Reid was lying, he knows he was
lying, and everybody else (well, everybody but a liberal robot) knows he was
lying, too. “Decent America” asks, how
can any virtuous, honorable human, with a conscience, do that? A man who is supposed to be a leader in the country. It doesn’t compute, but, the truth of the
matter is, Reid has no conscience, he has no virtue, no honor—atheistic ethics teaches he should only have
those qualities when necessary to accomplish his goals! Then comes the utterly ridiculous
SuperPAC ad about Romney killing some woman with cancer. Even much of the liberal media chuckled at
that one and exposed its utter falsehood.
But, interestingly, the President never repudiated that ad—never. He said he didn’t authorize it, but he never
did what he should have done and publicly announce that such an accusation was
despicable, dishonest, and he would have no part in this kind of a deceitful campaign. Obama never did that—and that speaks volumes
about the kind of person Barack Obama is.
He, too, has no conscience, no virtue, no decency. For purely political, personal reasons, he is
taking a calculated risk here—that there are more stupid people in America who
will believe these utterly contemptible lies than there are decent people who
are revolted by them. And he's probably right. November will decide that. The fact that it is even an issue demonstrates how far America has sunk into an immoral cesspool--that politicians would actually, deliberately try to appeal to such people. But it's all about votes. Winning at any cost. That’s all that matters to Obama and the
left. The end justifies the means.
I say, “the end
justifies the means” because that is exactly what they believe. They will be “decent” when they can, because
they want to fool Decent America into voting for them, if possible. But, if danger threatens, if they see the
possibility of defeat lurking, then they’ll do whatever is necessary to crush—and
I mean crush--their opponents to secure victory. You see, recently, Obama has been in some
trouble politically. The country is
getting worse off and anybody with a brain can see it. His policies have not succeeded in making the
country better—they can’t, as I’ve pointed out before on this blog. And so, there has been a lot concern on the
left that he actually might not win a second term. Liberals, right now, have the best man they
have ever had in the Presidency. Bill
Clinton was ok, but he’s not near the radical that Obama is. The left simply must have Obama re-elected; since they have no God, no heaven to
look forward to, then he is their Messiah, he will bring Utopia to them—if only
the brainless, hick conservatives would shut up and get out of the way, quit hindering
the Messiah in his goal of establishing a “progressive” heaven on earth. And so, with Obama reeling, anything goes—the
vicious, lying attacks on Mitt Romney are only symbolic of the kind of people
these liberals are. Again, if we look at
the 20th century (actually, one can trace the roots back to the
French Revolution of the 1790s and its infamous guillotine), we can see the
ultimate horrors of secular, leftist morality.
The left in America hasn’t been able to kill people yet—Americans can
own guns, of course, and shoot back (Stalin said about his sheep, “We don’t let
them have ideas. Why would we let them
have guns?”). And again, Decent America—any
decent mind—simply rebels against the idea, is horrified by the thought—“no, it
couldn’t happen in America. As immoral
as Barack Obama is, he would never start killing people…” I hope not, but I know history, I know
atheistic morality, and it’s there in history—recent history—for anybody to see. As Sartre, Dostoevsky, and others have noted,
“if there is no God, then everything is permitted.” Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and
the leadership of the Democratic Party have absolutely no decency or conscience
at all. They will do whatever it takes
to win because, to them, life is not about getting to heaven; the only heaven
there will ever be is the one we create on earth. And
they know how to do it! And it’s only George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter,
Republicans, and backwoods Southern hayseeds that are preventing it from happening.
Of course, it’s only
fair to point out, that, to a limited degree—or maybe not—the tactics being
used by Obama, Reid, et al, against
Romney are the same tactics he used against Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and
Rick Santorum in order to secure the Republican nomination in the first
place. Just like Obama is doing now,
Romney gambled. He surmised that, once
he won the nomination, those people who were appalled by his slanderous attacks
on Gingrich, et al, would line up
behind him anyway, because the alternative—Obama—was horrifyingly worse. But Romney is in a quandary now. If he plays the same kind of despicable game that
Obama is playing, and starts throwing mud and slime, he risks losing the Decent
America vote; they’ll just stay home, being utterly disgusted at both
candidates. And, of course, if Decent
America doesn’t vote, Romney hasn’t got a prayer of winning, because Obama has
the stupid-immoral vote wrapped up. Romney
must stay above the fray or he risks
losing his base. But because Romney, at
one point, was willing to use the mud-slinging tactics, we do get an exposure
of his character, hypocritical at best.
What do we want in the Presidency—a hypocritical Mormon or a lying atheist? Not much of a choice, frankly, though it
would be impossible for the Republicans to find a candidate worse than
Obama. Romney needs to win, but only because
the alternative is too terrifying to contemplate.
But what this shows, as
much as anything else, is the wisdom of the American Founding Fathers. They didn’t trust any politician and never
intended for any human being to have the kind of power and control American
politicians now have. We have, as always, ignored history and its
wisdom, and we will be destroyed because of it.
Many in Decent America
might finally be waking up to what liberalism, atheistic subjectivism, and the
intellectual leadership in the Democratic Party really are—a movement and
people with no honor, no virtue, no conscience.
I only shake my head in frustration that it is taking so long for so
many to see it. The Bible, as always, is
spot on, telling us that there are people who are “past feeling, have given
themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness”
(Ephesians 4:19), who consciences have been “seared with a hot iron” (I Timothy
4:2). In a way, if one can look at it
from a God’s-eye view, it is fascinating to watch history lessons and Biblical
truth being—again—so accurately played out.
It’s just a shame that so many human beings will—again—have to suffer
because of it. But, we mock God at our
own peril.
Romney's VP
Romney’s
choice of Paul Ryan for VP is a good one, maybe the best choice of all. Ryan is young, smart, and conservative. He made mincemeat of Obama’s rather outrageous claim that
Obamacare wouldn’t add to the deficit.
Romney is/was a good businessman, and Ryan is probably the best
budget-brain on Capitol Hill. Together,
they would most likely do a pretty good job in getting some kind of handle on
the government economic disaster.
Perhaps Ryan’s only problem is he is so smart that the, um, economically unenlightened people of
America—their name is Legion, of course—will never understand his
explanations. That could hurt in the
upcoming campaign. But the Romney-Ryan
ticket is a solid one, from an economic standpoint, light-years ahead of
Obama-Biden, of whom it would be hard to find two men less qualified.
The
major hitch, though, is that America’s principal problem is not economic, it’s
moral. The moral degradation underpins
the economic chaos, and until there is a serious character transformation in
the American people, there will never be any real progress towards a better
nation. It doesn’t matter what kind of
government a country has; if the country is full of sorry people, it’s going to
be a sorry country, and America, right now, is a sorry country or it never
would have elected Barack Obama in the first place (not to mention Clinton,
Reid, Pelosi, etc.). I don’t know what
anybody can do to improve American character.
That has to come from within the people and that doesn’t appear very
imminent.
We will find out, immediately, if Paul Ryan is considered a good choice or not. The "mainstream media" will tell us by how severerly they rip into him.
