I was listening to Senate Democrats on C-Span radio this morning. The same people who spent the last three weeks refusing to allow a vote on Homeland Security funding, were attacking House Republicans for not allowing a vote on Homeland Security funding. They ranted about how critical all the DHS functions were – the same ones they refused to fund 48 hours ago.
Meanwhile the Republican leadership folded like they do 100% of the time, and handed the dictator another easy victory in his march towards destroying the republic.
That sounds like two children, both misbehaving, both knowing they are going to eventually get caught, but their goal is not to behave right, instead their goal is to try to make it look like the fault of the other one when they finally are caught.

Years ago, when I heard that one of the head people of the East German STASI, Markus Wolf, had been hired as a consultant to US Homeland Security, I knew that we had gone over the edge of the cliff.
A senior official from the U.S. Department of State was arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly soliciting sex from a minor, reports said. Daniel Rosen, who was in charge of federal counterterrorism programs, was arrested from his house in Washington, D.C. at noon, and was transported to a local jail Tuesday.
Rosen was charged with one count of use of a communications device to solicit a juvenile, according to Fox News, which added that it was not clear whether he was still incarcerated or had posted bail. The detective, a female officer working at the Child Exploitation Unit in Fairfax County in the state of Virginia, reportedly posed as the minor in online exchanges with the 44-year-old Rosen.

Scuttlebutt is that the State Department and White House knew this guy was a scumbag, and kept him on the payroll. Why you ask? Because he was unquestionably loyal, given the info his employer had.
Scumbags covering for and blackmailing each other. That’s what democracy looks like.

The Republic, the Old Republic, has been dead a long while. The Civil War, the 17th Amendment, the misreading / misuse in the 20th century of the 14th Amendment, the “New Deal”, etc.
Hey Don! Yeah… you are right. The Old Republic is gone, and I miss it. The only way to move our culture back toward the ideas of freedom and natural rights is to first face the facts and understand WHY the Old Republic is gone. I am optimistic long term, but right now, I think more people prefer serfdom than freedom. Soon-to-come experience may be a harsh teacher for the masses.
That’s because they were never taught what this country was really about and the real sacra fices made to make it and keep it. How many have learned some of the details of the reason for the writing of the poem about Old Glory that would become the words for our national anthem.

Meanwhile the Republican leadership folded like they do 100% of the time
LOL. That’s because they all work for the same employers…the bankers and MIC…well the MIC is owned by the bankers anyways. Just theater to keep us arguing.

“Meanwhile the Republican leadership folded like they do 100% of the time, and handed the dictator another easy victory in his march towards destroying the republic.”
At the risk of repeating myself — there are essentially NO real Republican politicians. There are only RINOs, Republicans In Name Only. They give great speeches and say all the good things we support, but they do not do them once in office. Remember the Charlie Brown comic strip? Remember how Lucy would hold the football for Charlie Brown but always pull it out of the way? “But Charlie Brown, I really, really, REALLY mean it this time! I WON’T pull the ball away! Trust me just this one more time and I will prove that I am telling the truth!” Call ’em RINOs, call ’em Lucys. If you voted Republican you voted like Charlie Brown.
If voting would fix things, we would not be allowed to vote. Seriously, I know you have heard that before, and it is a great cliche and all, but it is true. The game is rigged big time. If it was possible to un-rig the game by voting, there would be a house rule against it. We need to find a solution — a solution that WORKS. I am still looking for one, but voting is not it.

I am afraid we are caught in a pincer movement. If we do nothing Agenda 21/Communism is implemented gradually. If we try to protest the Anti-Occupy Law kicks in and you go to jail for a year, ten if you are carrying a ‘dangerous weapon’ (like a pocket knife or protest sign?)
If they provoke the inner cities into riots (No electric + heat = RIOTS) then it is martial law. Then in time of national peril, during a war, on the occasion of a great disaster, or of a general strike, walk into the capital and seize the power. A well-organized minority can work wonders.
Thieves and psychopaths only respect power. The big question (to me at least) is whether we will be able to find a way to express power other than through violence and coercion. How do you persuade a group to give up power and control when they are addicted to power and control?
I now completely understand why people stayed home in 2012. What’s the point of wasting time voting if the Republicans won’t do anything, even with the largest legislative majority since the late 1920’s. No one, other than the media, even cares about the government shutdown from over a year ago. It had zero effect on the election, but for whatever stupid reason, the Republicans care about “getting blamed”. As if it will affect an election 1 1/2 years away. I thought the last 3 elections where many of the Bush era Republicans got booted would have sent the message. Instead, the money does talk, or else Jeb wouldn’t even be a story.
What? President Obama doesn’t have the moxie to stand up in front of Congress and demand that the Republicans pass the Obama budget as it stands with NO changes–or else…
Why not?
Besides, with pervasive surveillance, who says that the evidence is genuine? Or that it was picked up in accordance with laws? Or that it wasn’t really someone else’s crime pinned on a political enemy?
It is estimated that the average American commits a minimum of three felonies EVERY DAY. A large fraction of the people in prison were convicted of crimes that they didn’t commit–because the justice system has no stake in justice, just in gaining convictions. It isn’t if you are guilty or innocent–it’s how much trouble the prosecutor will have getting a guilty verdict out of a jury.
So tell me that President Obama hasn’t the capability of ignoring the law that prohibits arresting members of Congress while Congress is in session and putting them through a show trial that proves that all the Republicans are felons? Most people are convinced that Congress is a viper’s nest already. All it will take is a strangle-hold on the courts.
Fortunately, Barrack Obama isn’t a Lenin, or a Hitler, or a Mussolini. I’ll bet that Barrack Obama is a poor poker player, too–bluffs easily.

Military given go-ahead to detain US terrorist suspects without trial that includes ‘Home-grown Terrorists’
That’s nothin’! Even Chicago cops have more latitude…
“The US Department of Justice and embattled mayor Rahm Emanuel are under mounting pressure to investigate allegations of what one politician called “CIA or Gestapo tactics” at a secretive Chicago police facility exposed by the Guardian.
Politicians and civil-rights groups across the US expressed shock upon hearing descriptions of off-the-books interrogation at Homan Square, the Chicago warehouse that multiple lawyers and one shackled-up protester likened to a US counter-terrorist black site in a Guardian investigation published this week.
As three more people came forward detailing their stories of being “held hostage” and “strapped” inside Homan Square without access to an attorney or an official public record of their detention by Chicago police, officials and activists said the allegations merited further inquiry and risked aggravating wounds over community policing and race that have reached as high as the White House.”

Nothing new.
In 1969 the NY State troopers picked up dad for changing lanes without signaling at three in the morning. They hauled him all the way back from Rochester to Syracuse, tore up his new car and beat the crap out of him. Dad was 60 years old.
No, phone call allowed, no charges, nothing. Mom was frantic.
The situation Tony described of the Democrats refusing to fund DHS reminds me of how the Democrats were the cheerleaders for invading Iraq in 2003–and leading Democrats were denouncing anybody not for invading Iraq immediately as a traitor! Of course the Democrats were all for a Department of Homeland Security–a product of the Nineties that wasn’t whipped up overnight in the shadow of 9/11!
What’s next on the CSPAN comedy network?
It seems the grab for our freedoms is never ending: Obama administration to ban bullets; AR-15 targeted
Gail Combs, it ain’t that simple: http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/ammoban.asp
Saint Ronald Reagan signed the “federal cop killer bullet ban” into law and it took effect during 1986. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=federal+cop+killer+bullet+ban
The Treasury Department is simply redefining “handgun” as is its right under that law. Note that the machine gun “ban” of 1934 was intended to outlaw pistols and revolvers–but FDR’s attorney general managed to make enemies out of the “gun lobby.” The National Rifle Association had written the plan to register all legal handguns in America and to limit handgun ownership to only those Americans who had a federally-issued handgun permit. Today we see history repeated–the real reason to eliminate “assault weapons (aka battlefield weapons)” is that when semiautomatic actions are outlawed, revolvers can be outlawed as “semiautomatic assault guns” too. The reason to ban the AR-15 is that is an excuse to ban all handguns, too. It didn’t work in 1934, in 1938, in 1968, or in 1986–it might work now because the subject is complex and us peasants are uneducated hicks.
This uneducated hick recalls that the M855 service cartridge was specifically exempted from the “handgun bullet ban” because nothing shoots like the M855, which is required ammunition in some service rifle matches.
How does it feel being treated like a Treaty Indian?
After the reading I have done this week, I feel more like a serf. A used up unwanted one they have plans to kill now that I am no longer working for them.
If you want to develop insomnia, consider this: a quarter of the US population is age 55 and older. Killing off this quarter will reduce US carbon emissions by an estimated 70% (because geezers own much of the pollution-producing wealth–the “means of production”) and when these double-nickel-plus oldsters are eliminated, their property can be seized by the state. Old people are regarded as non-productive, useless eaters, who steal jobs that younger workers need–especially undocumented younger workers.
Just sayin’ that these senior citizens can be regarded as planet-raping terrorists and dealt with accordingly. Getting the rest of the nation lined up to off their parents and grandparents isn’t a done deal yet…
As I said an unwanted used-up serf. We are nothing but free-range serfs even if we do not know it. Between taxes and debt we have 60 and 90 percent of our wealth confiscated by the government or banks (same thing) Never forget the 151 hidden taxes on a loaf of bread — Ronald Reagan.
That means NO ONE escapes taxes even if they are beggars or thieves. Medieval serfs got to keep about 60% of what they produced. Are we any more free than they were?
The Fabians in the UK have been offing the over 55 population for a while now. Why is it no matter where you look you find Socialsts/Marxists practice DEMOCIDE: Death by Government whenever they get complete control of a country?
The news stories started out like this:
And this
The telegraph reports:
The comments in the last article give life to the horrific conditions in the UK hospitals.
Note how the nurses are blamed and doctors are “forced to prescribe drinking water” — Yeah, right.
Then one doctor lets the cat out of the bag. The cause of death is deliberate withholding of food and water (The Liverpool Care Pathway) and not ‘neglect’ by the nurses… OOPS
Top doctor’s chilling claim: The NHS kills off 130,000 elderly patients every year: Professor says doctors use ‘death pathway’ to euthenasia the elderly
Around 29 per cent of patients that die in hospital are on controversial ‘care pathway’
Then as investigative journalists dig deeper it is found that it is not the Doctors but the GOVERNMENT that is the cause of the deliberate starvation and dehydration of there citizens. NHS millions for controversial care pathway
The majority of NHS hospitals in England are being given financial rewards for placing terminally-ill patients on a controversial “pathway” to death,
TheGovernment PAYS hospitals to starve the patients to death. They also use the Liverpool Care Pathway on infants and children they deem ‘useless’ Doctors now have Saturday and Sunday off so if you are admitted on a weekend chances are you will be stuck on the Liverpool Care Pathway. Also the UK Govenment is suggesting they need to ‘Check-up” on older folk… so they can toss them in the hospital and starve them to death no doubt.
Think that is bad? It gets worse.
Now they are calling for After birth Abortions
And the people in the USA were told this was the healthcare system that was so much better that what we had!?!?!
WE WERE GRUBERED!
Speaking of Gruber, Obamacare is all about removing medical care FROM the elderly and giving it TO the illegals.
If You Like Your Medicare, You Can Keep Your Medicare By Jane M. Orient, M.D.
GEE, where have we heard ending life by removing “life-sustaining treatments”—such as food and water. Oh yah, It is called the Liverpool CARE Pathway.
And the killing off of unwanted infants? All of this is in line with Fabian thinking and their method of implementing their vision of the world gradually. The idea is to make government murder of the noncompliant acceptable to the rest of the public.
So the ultimate goal is to get society to accept the killing off of those unwilling to be the slaves of the
Elitegovernment.So what about After Birth Abortion? Where does that fit into the ultimate goals of the Fabian Elite? In the USA they are going even further.
“This is the whole problem with devaluing human life at any stage—it will naturally grow to include other groups of humans… That of course is the whole idea. It leads straight back to Shaw, the Fabians and OBAMA’s science czar Holdren. Holdern and the Ehrlichs also say a newborn child “will ultimately develop into a human being” if properly fed and socialized.
This is the SAME nut case that said TREES should have standing in court to sue!
So Holdren thinks trees are more valuable than human infants… OK, right, thanks for letting us know that.
So what about Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood? What we her views on infants?
Same general contempt for human life.
With Sanger we again come right back to the Fabians.
Her views on Blacks are interesting.
Good question. It is answered when you trace the strings on the Democratic party back to the Fabian Socialists and their love of Eugenics.
Too bad none of the blacks realize how they are actually viewed by the Fabian Socialists. North Carolina was sterilizing Blacks up until 1977 thanks to the efforts of Planned Parenthood and Sanger. A few short decades later…
Former eugenics founded Planned Parenthood director to lead President Barack Obama’s organization in North Carolina… [In] 2007, she was working for the Hillary Clinton for President campaign in Iowa.
Hillary Clinton even comes out and says she is “In Awe” of Racist Eugenicist Margaret Sanger
The 3 week stop-gap measure failed in the House. Still not funded.
Yep, “the leadership” are wusses but apparently there are enough Republican members in the HR to block it for now. At least until Boehner and Pelosi get their acts together and wrangle enough Democrat votes to over ride the Republican majority. Yes, that’s right. Boehner has and will work with Pelosi to over ride his own parties majority.
New Math: Republican=Democrat Lite wanna-be
The public supports the Republicans so they are in control to lay all tge blame on democrats.
The new Paragon Insights survey released this week found that 58 percent of registered voters oppose Obama’s executive actions, compared to 36 percent supporting them. The poll question highlighted the fact that the executive actions allow “four million undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation and seek jobs in the United States.”
Registered voters also largely approved of the Republican tactic of defunding the order, with 53 percent telling the pollsters they support “Republicans in Congress taking away federal funding for this executive order” and just 36 percent saying they oppose that.
Further, an overwhelming majority of registered voters said they would support legislation tightening regulations on hiring illegal immigrants — with 71 percent saying they would support such legislation compared to 21 percent who said they would oppose it.
There is a problem: the “unwashed masses” called “the public” are spoon-fed BS by the overwhelmingly-Democratic mainstream news media–and now that the FCC (public employees are overwhelmingly unionized and owned by the Democratic Party) has declared “Net Neutrality” there will be no official voiced opposition. Don’t forget that the educational establishment is overwhelmingly Democratic. Pollsters have been overwhelmingly Democratic since the days of FDR–which is why the Republicans are painted as racists even though the KKK was the terrorist arm of the DNC.
No wonder the Republicans suffer from DNC-envy and are Democrat Lite!
If they had any guts, they would shut down the filibuster like the democrats did and let Obama take the fall by vetoing the bill. They try to play nice against liars, cheats and generally mean people and they need to realize it. They shoved the Republicans aside and passed Obamacare by bribing and twisting around the rules. Give them a taste of their own medicine, since they will be blamed anyway.
Playing hardball with bad guys is dangerous. What happened to Kennedy when he played hardball with Castro? Our Congress critters are not nearly as well protected. Standing up to dictators and those pretending to be dictators takes courage.
Politicians with courage are overqualified for their office.
