Senator Troubled That UPS Missed Christmas Deliveries, Unfazed About New Jan 1 Taxes and Healthcare Premium Increases

Posted by Brian

"…and then I made them think I really care!"

Really? This is what our historically esteemed "World's greatest deliberative body" has been reduced to? A senator, starved for attention, scolding United Parcel Service for missing scheduled deliveries due to unforeseen acts of God, combined with a surge of last-minute shoppers trying to get packages delivered.
A perfect storm? Maybe. Something the U.S. Senate, or a Senator, should be concerning themselves with? He's got to be kidding, right?
This is the mentality that the liberals want the American public to adopt.  For every problem, big or small, they want you to turn to the government. It's why idiots call 911 at midnight to complain that McDonalds won't serve them chicken nuggets. Government has successfully fostered a dependent mentality in intergenerational low income families. They look to government for everything - food, shelter, money, phone, and even chicken nuggets.
The UPS's missed deliveries provides an even bigger opportunity for the liberals and statists. Americans who don't normally fall into the traditional dependent classes liberals like to exploit,  the middle and upper income brackets, were also caught up in this. What better way to attempt to pull them into, maybe not the dependent fold, but to be more sympathetic to the idea that government really "cares".
So Senator Blumenthal is out there screaming that UPS, Amazon - private companies - need to "do the right thing", and give refunds to their customers for not giving on-time deliveries. We already know that the missed deliveries are a PR nightmare for UPS and Amazon. How is he so sure that they aren't already planning some sort of refund or other incentive to customers to satisfy them?  He doesn't.  This is just political grandstanding.
Another thing that no one I have heard mention is what responsibility some of the customers may have in some of this.  Should customers accept some to the responsibility for waiting until the last minute to mail presents off?  Maybe they should have not procrastinated.  Or, God forbid(!), they could have phoned the affected friends or relatives to inform them that their present might not get there in time for Christmas morning, or maybe telling them that on the bright side, it just extends their joy. Hell, I don't know.  Take some responsibility, will ya?
I know.  I'm a terrible person, probably even a grinch, just for mentioning that people might even share in a little of the responsibility in how everything happened.
And why is a U.S. Senator involved in this for Christ's sake? This guy is a Senator! He, supposedly, represents the interests of his State of Connecticut. Not individuals. The State.  There are people called "Representatives" who represent the People.  Not that their Representatives should get involved in this either. How does John or Joan Q. Citizen not getting their delivery fall under his purview? They don't.  But that doesn't matter.  What matters is the perception that he cares.
Meanwhile, on January 1st, every person in his state, and every other one as well, is going to be hit with a barrage of new taxes as ObamaCare starts to really kick in, not to mention the outrageous deductibles people are getting hit with before benefits are even payed out. Of course this only includes the people who haven't been kicked off their plans (the ones we all were supposed to be able to keep) and who fortunately still have their health insurance, or the few who have been able to sign up through the exchanges.
While Blumenthal is stroking you with his feigned Christmas spirit, sympathizing that your presents didn't arrive on time, he is silent on the fact that you're about to get a significant tax increase on January 1st. I guess his caring, like most liberals, only extends so far.
Happy New Year!

Making Us Less Safe - Obama Admin Allowing Women SEAL's/Rangers by 2015

Posted by Brian

As if further proof is needed that the Obama Administration and his limp-wristed, milquetoast SecDef Chuck Hagel are intentionally weakening our military fighting force, we now get a story from the NY Daily News that there are plans to allow women into the Special Operations teams known as the Navy SEAL's and Army Rangers.

Obama with intellectual midget and SecDef Chuck Hagel

This is not only disturbing, it is an outrage!  We're not talking about your average military billets here.  These are the top 1% of the top 1%!  The mental demands are not what are at issue here.  I fully believe that any motivated woman can fire a weapon a well as her male counterparts.  But the physical demands that are placed on the men who go through the training required to qualify as SEAL's and Rangers would be considered torture by some[Watch video].  And they go through it willingly.  These men are a complete different breed both mentally and physically.

This isn't like allowing a girl to join the boys Pee Wee football team when she's 12 years old.  This is akin to lining her up across the interior line from Ndamukong Suh in the NFL.

Of course, Hagel, Obama and the boys have it all figured out.  While denying that they will lower the physical standards,  Daily news story also says that "the services are methodically reviewing and revising the standards for many jobs, including strength and stamina, in order to set minimum requirements for troops to meet regardless of their sex".

Well, that certainly sounds like they are considering lowering the standards to help women meet them! Lowering standards for any job, to "level the playing field" for anyone, is a load of crap.  Lowering them to please a bunch of politicians and women's rights activists to help seal their legacy is criminal!  This will get good men AND women killed! That's right - KILLED!

For you women, as well as you sensitive metrosexuals out there standing up for "gender equality", let me clue you in on something.  Men and women aren't equal!  Biologically we are ,and always have been, different.  We are born with different muscle mass. We think differently.  We are built differently.  This is not to say men are better than women, it is to say we are different.  To pretend differently is naive, and in cases like this, dangerous.

The really sick thing in all of this is that Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, the NOW gang, and others will celebrate this (if it is implemented) as some sort of "victory" for women.  Pelosi, Boxer, and their ilk don't give a damn about women!  Like everything else to them, women are voting blocs and political pawns to be exploited for their own ambitions and power.

In their sick, twisted minds, if some women (and men) have to be sacrificed on the field of combat for their legacies, so be it.

HOT MEALS, Sandwiches Denied to U.S. Troops in Afghanistan!

Posted by Brian

Obama is thumbing his nose at our troops

"And that’s why, on this day, we remember our sacred obligation to those who laid down their lives so we could live ours:  to finish the job these men and women started by keeping our promise to those who wear America’s uniform — to give our troops the resources they need; to keep faith with our veterans and their families, now and always;"
Barack Obama - Memorial Day, May 27, 2013 Speech at Arlington National Cemetery [Transcript]

Throughout his Presidency, President Barack Obama has managed to say the right things about our military men and women. He speaks of their bravery, character, sacrifice, and of the obligation of making sure that our active duty and veterans are rightfully cared for.  That is, he says the right things. His actions, though, betray his words.  They are hollow and disingenuous.

Read: Obama's Latest Lie To Veterans

His latest betrayal of our fighting men and women is to cut the hot meals and sandwiches at midnight (midrats) for Marines at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan.  For those coming off six and a half hours on patrol and those preparing to go out on patrol, starting today those men and women will be limited to breaking open an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) pouch, usually reserved for quick bites out in the field.

As you can imagine, the decision is less-than-popular with the men and women on the ground in Afghanistan. As one Marine wrote to his wife at home:

"This boils my skin. One of my entire shifts will go 6.5 hours without a meal. If we need to cut back on money I could come up with 100 other places. Instead, we will target the biggest contributor to morale. I must be losing my mind. What is our senior leadership thinking? I just got back from flying my ass off and in a few days, I will not have a meal to replenish me after being away for over 9 hours.”

Spaghetti and meat sauce MRE - Mmmmm!

According to military brass, the move is part of the drawdown of troops from Afghanistan. What a steaming pantload! You don't cut meals for the troops, especially as their numbers are reduced!

Read: New York disenfranchising its 320,000 military servicemen and women overseas - still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all!!

Barack Obama has shown time and again his disdain for our military, and the men and women who serve.  He is more than happy to use them for photo ops, but when it comes to really standing with them, he has been AWOL at every turn.  Whether it be raising healthcare premiums for military (while leaving Union healthcare untouched)[Read article], labeling the terrorist attack on Fort Hood  "workplace violence" (which denies disability benefits to the victims), failing to return salutes to Marines on Chopper One, relegating them to 'Boy Friday' status and having them hold his umbrella over his head (in which he even joked about it being a good photo op), to failing to ensure that 2012 election ballots were delivered to hundreds of thousands of military men and women in overseas deployments. 

This President and his Administration have failed our brave fighting men and women at every turn.

Disgraceful.

IRS sent confidential info on conservatives to liberal nonprofit ProPublica

Patrick Howley

Investigative Reporter

The division of the Internal Revenue Service that improperly scrutinized the tax-exempt status of conservative groups sent confidential information on 31 conservative groups to the well-funded liberal nonprofit journalism organization ProPublica, according to a revelation made by ProPublica Monday.

“The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year,” according to the ProPublica report.

OaklandMayor Jean Quan - The Dumbest Mayor in America?

In burglary-plagued Oakland, it's easy to pick on this workshop 
When Mayor Jean Quan recently included a class on lock-picking in the 'Something for Everyone' section of her newsletter, it didn't go over well.
By Lee Romney, Los Angeles Times March 2, 2013

OAKLAND — Burglaries have plagued just about every corner of this beleaguered city of late: Last year, Oakland averaged one break-in every 42 minutes — a 44% increase over 2011.  So when Mayor Jean Quan recently included a workshop on lock-picking in the "Something for Everyone" section of her newsletter, it didn't go over well.

"Of all the incredibly unbelievable things I've witnessed in my life, this tops the list," one resident wrote in a letter that asked Quan to cancel the class. "What next?" another wrote on a neighborhood chat forum. "The fundamentals of armed robbery?"

Actor Danny Glover with comrade Hugo Chavez

Another Hollywood ignoramus!
Danny Glover of "Lethal Weapon"series fame, admirer and supporter of Hugo Chavez and communist dictators, was invited to speak at Texas A&M University for a morning of "reflection and insight" on Martin Luther King Day.

The only reflection I get from watching this is the blinding stupidity of Danny Glover, and an insight into the mind of a true Marxist.

ESPN: IS RG III Authentically Black and "Down For The Struggle"?

Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III stated recently that he wants to judged on his talent, and not the color of his skin.
Fast-forward to a panel discussion on RG III, and ESPN's Rob Parker is now questioning the man's "brother" credentials, and whether he's "down for the cause". He's got a "white fiancee' and he may be Republican.  "Is he a Brother or a "cornball" Brother, asks Parker.
What a coward!  C'mon Rob!  Just say it!  He's an Uncle Tom!  An Oreo! Worse, you've heard him allude to being a Republican, which means he's a traitor to his race!  He's Steppin' Fetchit' on a gridiron!
Of course, Parker will get a pass on this because he's black. If a white commentator had floated something half as disgusting as this, he or she would be run out of town on a rail. To him and other liberals, black people should be monolithic in their thinking, voting, behavior, ad infinitum.

UC Berkeley Student Writes Column That Public Sex On Campus is "Easy", "Lots of Fun"

Posted by Brian

A UC Berkeley student, Nadia Cho, chose the student paper to run a story of her on-campus public trysts.  Far from being criticized, the University says that, while they don't back the article, she has a right to free speech.  The paper, The Daily Californian, has been independent from the university for some time now, though it is operated by members of the student body.
Berkeley, a hotbed of marxism and far-left liberal miscreants since the 1960's, is touted for its tolerance, but that tolerance seem to be a one-way street when it comes to viewpoints based on conservatism.
In 2011, student Republicans held an "Affirmative Action" bake sale (video), where the price of the baked goods were based on the person's ethnicity and/or gender. The so-called "enlightened liberals on campus, unable to see the that the point being made was that admissions should be based on merit and not color, called the event racist and intolerant.  Apparently they were also unable to see the hypocrisy of their own intolerance toward an opposing viewpoint.
Now, we have this young female skull full of mush, openly bragging about her sexual exploits on campus, and the reaction is : "Hey!  Free speech , man!" Maybe she can team up with Sandra Fluke to do an article on how expensive it is to have to buy the birth control that enables her to bang her way around the campus. She could then opine about how we should all feel obligated to pay for the condoms, and the cost of the medication, for the STD's she may get along the way, as she copulates her way towards freeing her inner nympho.
And maybe she should consider dropping the "C" from her last name in any future stories she writes about her personal sexual experiences.



'Sex on campus is lots of fun and surprisingly easy': Berkeley student's controversial column for college newspaper boasting of romps in library 

• UC Berkeley student had sex on campus and wrote about it in column 
• Nadia Cho writes that she and a male student had sex in Berkeley's library and classrooms the day before Thanksgiving 

By DAMIAN GHIGLIOTTY PUBLISHED: 20:33 EST, 2 December 2012 | UPDATED: 10:39 EST, 3 December 2012

The elite University of California, Berkeley has seen a blow to its uber-serious reputation with a controversial article from a student boasting about her marathon campus sex sessions.

Nadia Cho's detailed account was part of her weekly column in The Daily Californian, Berkeley’s independent, student-run newspaper.

Cho writes that she and an unnamed male student started their romp in Berkeley’s library, Main Stacks, the day before Thanksgiving, when the campus was ‘marvellously empty’.

"Truth" - Obama Depicted As Christ Crucified In Painting

Posted by Brian

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.   

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1: 18-25

A painting that depicts President Barack Obama as Jesus Christ with a crown of thorns around his head and his arms outstretched like Christ himself when he was crucified is currently on display at a community college art gallery in Boston, Fox News Radio’s Todd Starnes reports.

The painting is featured in a larger exhibit at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery titled “Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012.” The controversial painting will reportedly remain on display until Dec. 15. The painting is actually called “Truth.”

Nanny State Alert: Latest Danger In Schools? - 'Flamin' Hot Cheetos'

Posted by Brian

How does freedom end?

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out–  because I was not a communist; 

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out– because I was not a socialist; 

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out– because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out– because I was not a Jew; 

Then they came for me– and there was no one left to speak out for me.

When Is A Cheeto Not Just A Cheeto?
This is the kind of crap our precious public schools are concerned with?  Friggin' Cheetos?! The so-called reason is that they are not nutritious enough, and have too much salt.  I'm calling bull crap.  This is step one.  I can assure you that there are other foods out there with more salt and are less nutritious which are yet to come under fire. Of course the media are out there reporting the propaganda, dutifully nodding in agreement. "Yes, we probably do get too much salt in our diets.  It's comforting to know that there are people out there looking out for our children".  It would be refreshing, shocking actually, to hear one anchor say, "Why are the schools getting involved in this? Shouldn't this be the responsibility of the child's parents"? But we won't hear that.
This is one more example of some power-hungry bureaucrats wresting more power, more responsibility away from parents and the general public.  Of course, they are "doing it for the children".  Well, that's crap, too! If they had any concern for the children, they would be more motivated with giving children a quality education in the basic knowledge skills that the kids are going to need to be successful, and less concerned about what they eat, whether Heather has two mommy's or six daddy's, or whether Johnny knows how to properly put a condom on a banana! For you teachers who are getting more offended by the second, I am not addressing those of you who are ham-strung by the teacher's unions and education extablishment, (unless you are a left-wing libtard who buys into and blindly supports all of this crap, with zero cognitive ability to think for yourself). I am talking about the educational glitterati in the DOE, the Teachers Unions, and the so-called liberal elitists in politics, who see kids as lab rats, and our schools as their science rooms and indoctrination centers in which to perform their liberal social experiments.
Test scores dropping, graduation rates plummeting, and our bastions of social experimentation are more concerned with kids eating "Flamin' Hot Cheetos', undermining parental rights' with free birth control medication and condoms for students, banning American Flag shirts on Cinco De Mayo Day which might offend the Latino's, and removing banners from school auditoriums because it has the word "God" or "Lord" in it and might offend some atheists.
I don't know about any of the rest of you, but I have put up with about as much as I can take with all of this government intrusion into virtually every aspect of our lives.  Whether parenting, business, eating, how large our soda's are, how much salt we can have, the type of light bulbs we can buy, how much water our toilets use, ad infinitum, there is government.  You literally can't take a crap without the government being involved.
For anyone who is still undecided about this election, or who says that there is no difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, you may be a lost cause.  On the one hand is candidate Obama who is rooted in the ideology of Marxism and is quickly moving down the path of European Socialism, or worse.  He supports this kind of crap!  His wife advocates for it, with her portion-controlled so-called "Healthy Lunches" programs, which half of the students hate, and end up throwing in the trash. On the other hand we have Mitt Romney who, though not my ideal candidate, I am 100% behind in this election, because the alternative is the end of the American society as we know it.  At least he doesn't advocate for this level of government intrusion.  Though some of his ideas still grow government, they slow the growth to a pace where we can still turn the Great Ship around.  But, we have to elect conservative men and women to both Houses of Congress and the Presidency, not just in this election, but the next TEN! It took decades to get to this point, and it's going to take a huge turnover of our leaders to get out of this mess.
Voting third party in this election is not an option.  It may have been in the past, but this election is a turning point.  To all of those who want, or are going to vote for Gary Johnson, here's a little insight for you.  I'll even whisper it: He can't win. He can only cause Romney to lose.
If Romney loses by a few votes in a few states because enough votes are siphoned off to Johnson, then welcome to the USSA. Think it can't happen? Bush won in Florida by 537 votes. (I don't want to hear how the "Supreme Court stole the election and gave it to Bush" crap either.  All recounts, even by the NY Times, said Bush would have won. And don't forget that Ralph Nader peeled off 97K votes, most of which, likely, would have gone to Gore.  Blame Nader.)  How about Al 'Stuart Smalley' Franken's election in Minnesota, which was determined by only 312 votes? Still think every vote doesn't matter?
But no worries.  If something were to happen where Romney ends up losing a few key states, and it's because people decided to cast their vote for Gary Johnson, or in protest, just don't vote at all, and we all wake up to find that Obama has won with 271 electoral votes: be assured that you can rest easy, knowing that you remained true to your "principles" , as you find yourself watching Obama dismantle what remains of this once great country.
Am I really this fired up about Cheeto's?  Not if this were an isolated incident.  It is the compounding of all of these little things, the creeping incrementalism  of government seizing more and more of our freedoms by liberal and statists in our schools and government, all with the certainty that "We, The People" will continue to accept it.  Well, I'm done with accepting the crap-sandwiches that they keep trying to shove down our throats!
If you're willing to continue accepting these types of assaults on your individual liberty, or just want to "get along", then you are part of the problem.
If you're willing to start fighting back, starts now with friends, family, co-workers, and others to ensure that as many conservatives as possible get to the polls on November 6th and send Obama packing on January 20th.!

The latest move in the effort to take complete control over the lives of students swirls around a very specific member of the snack food world, the very popular, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. If the schools have their way, “Hot Cheetos” will be treated like illegal drugs on school property.

Iraq War Vet Told To Take Down Flag: It Might "Offend Someone"

Posted by Brian
H/T Fox News

A California apartment manager told an Iraq War veteran to take down his American flag because it might offend someone who doesn't believe in it. Video here
Two things:
For those of you in this country who are offended by the sight of someone flying the American Flag: Either don't look at it, or don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! Those are your two options. Pick one!

As for the manager who was "unavailable" for comment:  You are a coward! Both for submitting to political correctness, and for not having the guts to go on camera, and explain how you could have the balls to ask a man who served his country in a war, to take down the very symbol of the nation and values he fought for! You disgust me!

NY Principal to Kids: "God Bless The USA" Inappropriate, Sing Something By "Bieber"

Posted by Brian

PS-90 Principal Greta Hawkins

Principal Greta Hawkins has banned the singing of the Lee Greenwood song "God Bless The USA" by kindergarteners because it might "offend" someone, and swapped it out with the Justin Bieber song "Baby".

Really?  Well, to the type of people who would be offended by this song "God BlessThe USA", I say screw them!  I'm not even a huge fan of the song anymore, having heard it thousands of times over the years.  But, it's a fairly easy song to sing and has a great message, and can still cause me to swell with patriotism under the right conditions.

That said, it is becoming more and more clear to me that to rise in position within the public school system requires not that you be a good teacher.  Not that you have great administrative skills.  Nor that you have seniority.  It appears that it requires a blind allegiance to the public unions, a hostility to Judeo-Christianity, a soft spot for Islam, unwavering support of planned parenthood and abortion on demand, thrown in with a good dose of unpatriotic, anti-US, blame-America-first indoctrination. All starting in kindergarten.

What's offensive is that this song is considered offensive, but a New York City school that, "not offers but requires" students to take Arabic courses, funded by a Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood connected group is perfectly fine.

Principal Swaps Bieber's "Baby" for "God Bless the USA" at Grad Ceremony 
Kids won't sing the Lee Greenwood song because the principal felt it was not appropriate
Monday, Jun 11, 2012  |  Updated 3:14 PM EDT

A Brooklyn principal has swapped Justin Bieber's hit "Baby" for "God Bless the USA" at a kindergarten graduation ceremony because of fears the Lee Greenwood ballad could offend people, according to a published report.

The New York Post says PS 90 principal Greta Hawkins declared "God Bless the USA" off-limits after children had already spent months learning the song.

NC TEACHER SCREAMS AT STUDENT: IT’S CRIMINAL TO CRITICIZE OBAMA

H/T Breitbart

And the indoctrination of our youth in public schools continues.  The teacher in this video is not an educator, but a paid propagandist for Barack Obama.  She yells at and bullies the student for asking a question of whether Obama bullied a female student when he was in high school, which Obama wrote about in his book, "Dreams of My Father".  This was during a "discussion" of Mitt Romney allegedly bullying a student when he was in high school.  The teacher is obviously not interested in an honest debate, as she begins screaming at the student and cutting him off as he tries to rebut.  She obviously got her debating skills from watching Jerry Springer, or one of the other trash talk shows.

At one point she tells the student that "as a teacher, I am not supposed to allow you to disrespect the President of the United States", which "rule" I am sure she adhered to when George Bush was President. When the student says "when Bush was President, everybody talked shit about him", she states, "Because he was shitty"!

She also goes on to tell the student that "people were arrested for saying derogatory things about Bush". WHAT!?  She cites no evidence, but just spews out her propaganda as fact.

Unfortunately, this type of facist behavior in our public school system happens far too often.  This woman should not be teaching children, or anybody for that matter.  She has neither the temperament, nor the intellectual capacity to be an educator.  Her style is bullying and intimidation of her students, while her "class" is agenda-driven and is nothing but liberal propaganda and lies.
