Which Democrat Compared Tea Party To KKK in Fundraiser Mailing?

Posted by Brian
H/T to Weasel Zippers

Democrat Alan Grayson is no stranger to sewage level politics, once claiming Republicans wanted Americans to "Die quickly!". His latest outrage is a fundraising letter (below) using a burning cross, ala the KKK, to be the "T" in Tea Party, exclaiming "Now you know what the 'T' stands for."

Democrats, including the President, repeatedly call for civility in politics while members like Grayson time and again try to see how low they can. Of course there will be no outrage from the left about this. If they even bring it up, it may be called "unfortunate", but more likely the media will try to find the one racist idiot from some part rally as an example to prove Grayson's point.
Why do we have a shortage of good people in Washington, DC? One need look no further than the prospect of having to be anywhere near a scumbag like Grayson. Just thinking about being in the same room with this guy makes me want to take a shower.

Obama Vows To Shred Constitution If House Republicans Don't Cave On Debt Ceiling

Posted by Brian

Il Duce Il Douche

So the "Annointed One" is now telling us, that like a spoiled child, he plans to unilaterally violate the Constitution by raising the debt ceiling if House Republicans don't give him what he whaaaants?

Obama is in the midst of one of the biggest political power fits in history. Shutting down monuments and scenic overlooks, including the World War Two Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. Others this megalomaniacal jerk has closed are the parking lots at Mount Rushmore, as well as at Mount Vernon (which is privately funded), and scenic overlooks on the George Washington parkway around DC. And lest we forget, the National Amber Alert website has been shut down, to remind us how this is affecting our safety as well. However, Michelle Obama's websites are still up and running, including her "Get Moving" website. I guess here programs qualify as "essential" government work.

Obama is having a blast in shoving American's faces in it. We are not supposed to speak up. We are to shut the hell up, bend over and take whatever he want us to abuse us with. There is no room for dissent. As a Washington DC Park Ranger told the Washington Times: “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.” There's your all-caring Barack Obama for you.

The problem is, is that public opinion is turning away from the President on the budget deal, so he is now focuing on scaring us about the debt ceiling. He is actively trying to spook the markets. He is talking of the US defaulting on its debt, and of the dire consequences that would bring. The dirty secret is this: The US is not going to default if the debt ceiling is not raised. The US brings in $225B/mo. in tax receipts. The interest on the debt is about a tenth of that, and is all that is needed to be paid to stay out of default.

Knowing this, the President insists that he get a clean continuing resolution with increased spending and everything that HE wants, (a CR, because he has not submitted a serious budget to Congress in his 5 years), and yet another increase to the debt ceiling. And if he doesn't get it, because he's already stated numerous time that he "refuse(s) to negotiate", that he's just going to have to unconstitutionally go around Congress and do this himself, using the 14th Amendment as his justification. One problem for "The Messiah". The 14th Amendment does not give the President unilateral authority to issue new debt on the U.S. credit than he has to collect taxes or make expenditures that have not been enacted by Congress, no matter what Harry Reid or the lapdog media say.

The debt clause of the Amendment states: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void".

Keep in mind that this Amendment came at the end of the Civil War, and was one of three post-civil war amendments. The debt clause was put in because of the debt incurred by the war still had to be paid. The debt needed to be paid by both the northern and southern states. The 14th Amendment was put in to prevent the southern states from saying they would not pay for the cost of the war. What it does not say is that President Obama, or any president, can borrow money or spend money which has not first been authorized by Congress. ALL spending must originate in the House of Representatives, and the 14th amendment does not render that null and void.

President Obama knows this, as do his advisors, and those on the left who are encouraging him to do it, including the village idiot Nancy Pelosi. For Barack Obama and this bunch, separation of powers are a nuisance, not a constitutional firewall against abuse. If he follows through on his threat, Articles of Impeachment should be drawn up, and Barack Obama should go on trial.

Limbaugh Living Rent-Free In Obama's Head, Blames Rush for Problems

Posted by Brian
Barack Obama claims that it is Republicans who are afraid of Limbaugh, but why is it that it is he who always brings Limbaugh's name up? One the one hand, Limbaugh is "just an entertainer that no one pays attention to, and on the other it is Rush Limbaugh who is soooo influential that Obama can't get anything done. With Limbaugh occupying so much of Obama's brain, you'd think that "the Messiah" would be getting smarter by the second.
It's extemely funny how Obama likes to claim that he doesn't even think about Limbaugh, but never fails to blame him when things are going south for him. Me thinks that Obama doth protest too much, or to quote 'Ace Ventura': "Obsess much?"

Rush Limbaugh (on right) is the tenant in Barack Obama's head.

Obama on CNN: Congress Has Two Jobs, But Too ‘Worried About’ ‘Rush Limbaugh’ to Do Them
by Noah Rothman | 7:59 am, August 23rd, 2013

In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Friday, President Barack Obama said that the upcoming fight over the continuation of a resolution which will fund the government does not have to be a fight at all. He said that enough Republicans in Congress agree that seeking to defund the Affordable Care Act is a bad idea, but they are afraid of angering their base or of conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

OUTRAGE!! Hillary Clinton Not Sworn In For Benghazi Testimony!

Posted by Brian

Hillary Clinton goes before both a Senate AND House investigative committee to testify, and NO ONE thinks to swear her in under oath?
This whole thing stinks to high heaven!

HILLARY MISLED CONGRESS--BUT NOT UNDER OATH
by JOEL B. POLLAK 9 May 2013

Hillary Clinton's Benghazi "Testimony" not under oath

Wednesday's testimony on the Benghazi terror attacks by State Department whistleblowers before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform contradicted several statements by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in testimony before House and Senate committees in January.

However, while Clinton may have misled Congress in her testimony, she likely did not commit perjury because she never actually testified under oath.

Video recordings of Clinton's Jan. 23 testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee suggest that she was never sworn in. Breitbart News subsequently confirmed with staff on both committees that she did not take an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," as the three witnesses, all career civil servants, did Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee.

Report: Hillary Clinton Lied Under Oath To Congress

Posted by Brian

The Washington Examiner is reporting that Hillary Clinton did not tell the truth (i.e. she LIED) to Congress in her testimony about the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, two Navy SEAL's and a fourth embassy employee.
Asked whether she was aware that those at the embassy had requested extra security, Clinton told Congress, “I didn’t see those requests, they didn’t come to me, I didn’t approve them, I didn’t deny them.”
Now it is learned that not only did Hillary Clinton see those requests, but a Congressional report says that her signature was present on State Department cables to reduce security at Benghazi. So not only did she know of them, but she personally denied the requests.
White House spokes-propagandist Jay Carney, when questioned about Clinton's signature appearing on the document, said that it was "protocol" for "signatures" to appear on government documents the official did not sign. In other words: "Never mind! Nothing to see here. Move along", or to quote Hillary Clinton herself in her Benghazi testimony to Congress. "What difference at this point does it make?!"
Well. I guess we shall see Mrs. Clinton. We shall see.

DC Lawmakers Seek to Exempt Themselves From ObamaCare, Siting High Cost

Posted by Brian

Lawmakers in both the House and the Senate, seeing the impending disaster that is Obamacare, are scrambling to exempt themselves and their staffers from the exorbitant cost increase which is scheduled to hit next year.
Politico reports, "Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks" to exempt themselves and their staffers from the increased costs. "Confidential"? You mean, meeting behind closed doors to hide what they're doing from the American people? Say it isn't so!
God forbid that, realizing this monstrosity of a "health care" bill does exactly the opposite of what they advertised, which was to hold down costs and premiums, they actually do the right thing and defund the entire damn thing for everyone, but instead seek to provide a work-around for themselves and the politically well-connected.
Your elected leaders and representatives working "for the people"? Riiiiiiiiight!

Obama Will Miss Budget Deadline Again! 4th Time in 5 Years

Posted by Brian

Damn! This math stuff is hard!

Obama continues to thumb his nose at the law and the Constitution.
For the forth time in five years, Obama will fail to meet the deadline required by law for President's to submit a budget to Congress. Not that it will make much of a difference this time around. Every budget that has been submitted to Congress by Obama has failed to garner a single vote in the Senate.
Is it not logical to deduce that Barack Obama, for all of his lofty rhetoric on balancing the budget, cutting spending, and getting our fiscal house in order, fails to take any responsibility when it comes to his vision of what he wants to see in a budget, let alone getting one submitted within the legal deadline. Even his own Party is aware of the flippancy of his budgets. For Christ's sake, he has an admitted socialist in the Senate who can't bring himself to vote for one of these.
It's apparent to me that Obama does this so as to have plausible deniability where spending increases and tax raises are concerned. "I didn't ask for that", he can say. I, I, I told them to work together and, and send me something I can sign, but, but the Republicans continue to stand in the way of progress, uh, holding the American people hostage with their, uh, stubbornness in refusing to work with the Democrat leaders".
This is calculated to create the next budget crisis, where we will once again see the Imperial President Obama, with the cover of the mainstream media, go back on the campaign trail to demonize the Republicans over their inability to "get the job done", when in fact, the job has been his all along.

White House tells Paul Ryan it won’t meet budget deadline
By Erik Wasson - 01/14/13 12:06 PM ET

The White House has informed House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that it will miss the legal deadline for sending a budget to Congress.

Acting Budget Director Jeff Zients told Ryan (R-Wis.) in a letter late Friday that the budget will not be delivered by Feb. 4, as required by law.

In the letter, Zients says the administration is "working diligently on our budget request." The letter blames the late passage of the “fiscal cliff” deal for the delay, saying that because tax and spending issues were not resolved until Jan. 2, "the administration was forced to delay some of its FY 2014 budget preparations, which in turn will delay the budget's submission to Congress."

"We will submit it to Congress as soon as possible," Zients writes.

How Convenient! Hillary Won't Testify On Benghazi, Claims Concussion

Posted by Brian

Yeeeaaah! I got a concussion. That's the ticket!

The Obama Administration rope-a-dope on Benghazi continues. Hillary Clinton is now claiming a concussion will prevent her from testifying to Congress on Benghazi. How convenient! This, after initially bowing out to go partying and attending wine tastings in Australia.
The "most transparent Administration in history" continues to dodge providing details on the Benghazi terrorist attack that claimed the lives of a U.S. Ambassador, two Navy SEAL's, and one other embassy official.
Along with the "Fast and Furious" gun running scandal,which the Obama Administration has also been loath to provide documents and persons to testify, the American people are being treated with complete disdain by this President, providing little to no information on either debacle.
Concussion? Most transparent? Please.

Hillary Clinton faints, has concussion
By Elise Labott, CNN updated 9:58 AM EST, Mon December 17, 2012

Washington (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sustained a concussion after becoming dehydrated and fainting, and will no longer testify Thursday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton had been suffering from a stomach virus at the time, according to a statement on Saturday from Philippe Reines, deputy assistant secretary of state.

She is being monitored by doctors and is recovering at home. She was never hospitalized (my emphasis), Reines said.

SHARIA ALERT! DOJ Refuse To Say If They Would Criminalize 'Criticism' Of Islam

Posted by Brian

If The Islamists Have Their Way, I Would Be Arrested For This Article

Members of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) have asked the Justice Department to "criminalize" criticism of Islam as "racial discrimination". Setting aside for the moment the absolute outrageousness of this request, even more outrageous is the Asst. Attorney General's refusal to answer the question of whether the DOJ would even entertain that request for any religion!

Let's be clear here: I'm sick of this crap! Here, we have a group of Islamists, unindicted co-conspirators in raising and sending money to the terrorist group Hamas, demanding that the DOJ effectively enforce a back-door for instituting Sharia Law in the United States, and this jackass can't, or won't, confirm if the DOJ is even "considering" it?

For anybody who thinks that Eric Holder's DOJ and the Obama Administration aren't "actively" instituting policies, issuing new regulations, and meeting with individuals and groups who are enemies of the U.S. to "fundamentally change" our country, and destroy it from within, you either have your head in the sand, aren't paying attention, or support it. All are unacceptable.

Though 9/11 happened nearly eleven years ago, the Islamists have not abandoned their goals. The one thing you can say about them is that they are patient. From 632 AD to the present, there have been only two periods in which Islam has not been ruled by caliphates. The first non-caliphate period was from 1258 -1299 AD, a period of 41 years. The second is from 1924 to the present, or 88 years. So, we are currently in the longest stretch of non-caliphatic rule in Islam's 1380 year history since the death of Mohammed.

If you think that the Islamists aren't "itching" to reestablish their caliphate, you are sadly mistaken. And so are the members of this Administration, who have bent over backwards to kowtow to those who would have not just the United States, but all of the Middle East, Asia, and Western Europe under a one-world Caliphate. They have stated as much! You wouldn't know it though, from the absolute blackout on this kind of reporting, from a media who exemplify the term "useful idiots".

The DOJ, it appears, is continuing the "submission" to the Islamists which is taking place throughout the Federal, and some State, agencies. The FBI has already gone through the process of removing "anti-Muslim" documents from its training materials, under the watchful eye of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), of course. Never mind the fact that CAIR, like ISNA, has ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The same with the Muslim Students Association (directly founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963 at the Univ. of Illinois), the Muslim American Society, and the Islamic Circle of North America. To Obama, his Administration, and leftist dupes, we just all need to get along.

That's a dangerous position when you are dealing with an ideology whose faith says "submit or die". Where's the common ground there?

DOJ Official Won’t Say Whether Justice Department Would ‘Criminalize Speech against Any Religion’
By Melanie Hunter July 26, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Thomas Perez refused to say Thursday whether the Justice Department would ever “entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion.”
