Setting the way back machine to 2008 for this quote from the recently elected US Senator Barack Hussein Obama:
“No one should get a free pass to violate the basic civil liberties of the American people – not the President of the United States, and not the telecommunications companies that fell in line with his warrantless surveillance program. We have to make clear the lines that cannot be crossed.”
Ya, he was lying when he said that. That is pretty consistent with just about everything else he has said.
The Washington Post praises Fox News
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Yes people, the End Times must be near. Here we have one of the Washington Post Blogs calling Kudos on Fox News’ Greta Van Sustern for “(very rightly)” body slamming Obama’s perjury committing AG, Eric Holder.
GretaWire nails Eric Holder for the turn of events in which his Justice Department cited Fox News reporter James Rosen, in a leak investigation, as a probable “co-conspirator” in a violation of the Espionage Act. It did so in an expedient pursuit of his personal e-mails. When the department’s efforts were discovered, officials said they never pursued a prosecution of Rosen, despite the whole “co-conspirator” thing.
Greta Van Sustern goes on to point out that the DOJ’s actions were “dirty from the get-go!”
Oh, and expect the Obama Cultists to be either “OK” with the DOJ violating the First Amendment be it was in line with their political views, or for the ones not honest enough to admit that, they will claim this clear violation of the Rights of Free Speech and a Free Press is not “a big deal” and is a “Right Wing Conspiracy Theory.”

“I think the IRS probe is very high the list of priorities for Obama. It’s right under congratulating the first dyslexic, transgender hockey player. He’s going to be visiting a solar panel farm run by vegans. And he will be giving a medal to a woman who treats obese rodents with hypnotherapy. Then after that maybe they’ll get to the IRS.”
7 dead, 32 other shot in “gun control” paradise of Chicago
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics, RKBA
Chicago, IL. Political birthplace of our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, and under strict democrat rule for decades.
Also home to some of the most draconian “gun control” laws in the country.
The toll for the 2013 Father’s Day weekend: 7 dead and 32 others shot.
This type of violent crime is all too common in places where leftists get their way on disarming law abiding citizens.
Quote of the Day
“The way things are supposed to work is that we’re supposed to know virtually everything about what they do: that’s why they’re called public servants. They’re supposed to know virtually nothing about what we do: that’s why we’re called private individuals. This dynamic – the hallmark of a healthy and free society – has been radically reversed. Now, they know everything about what we do, and are constantly building systems to know more. Meanwhile, we know less and less about what they do, as they build walls of secrecy behind which they function. That’s the imbalance that needs to come to an end. No democracy can be healthy and functional if the most consequential acts of those who wield political power are completely unknown to those to whom they are supposed to be accountable.”
Not good enough to work in the Obama White House
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
The continuous flow of scandals, felonies, lies and cover ups coming from the Obama White House reminded me of this exchange from the TV show Archer.
Cyril Figgis: How do you keep track of all these lies?
Sterling Archer: Practice Cyril. Lying is like 95% of what I do.
Cyril Figgis: In your job.
Sterling Archer: Sure.
Sorry Archer, 95% just isn’t good enough to work in the Obama White administration.
Case in point, White House Spokes Weasel Jay Carney. He has moved well beyond the typical spin control required in the job and right into Baghdad Bob territory. Plenty of video evidence of that.
Let’s review:
The Entire Obama White House staff, and numerous members of the Obama executive branch, lied repeatedly, in fact often, on National TV, about the murder of four Americans, including an Ambassador in Benghazi. That is documented. Proven over and over again. Which is why most leftists will claim it’s ‘not a big deal’, since they can’t deny it or blame President G.W. Bush.
The Obama regime lied repeatedly over the IRS multiple violations of the First Amendment rights of Conservative groups. The Obama cultists’ explanation of this is particularly hypocritical, since they are claiming the Tea Party groups were asking for it by wearing a short skirt, or reading the Constitution. The Cato Daily Podcast, which you should be listening to, interviewed one of the top people at the D.C. branch of the ACLU. This fellow felt this was a big fornicating deal. It was deliberate targeting of a group practice of free political speech. A clear felony level violation of the First Amendment. The ACLU is taking the classic Liberal position here, which is the territory of Libertarians these days. The self identified “progressives” are being true to form, since they never were fans of free speech or the market place of free ideas.
The Obama regime lied, and continues to lie, about their Fast and Furious program in where it supplied semi-automatic weapons to Mexican drug cartels. A program that resulted in the murders of over 300 Mexican nationals and at least one US Federal Agent. If this was as above board as they claim, why is our Dear Leader‘s top officials stonewalling any attempts to find out the facts?
Bottom line, our Dear Leader promised the “most transparent administration ever”, and instead he has gone into an information blackout and raised the administration’s paranoia well past the levels of the Nixon administration. Don’t forget his previous War on Inspector Generals.
It is also interesting to watch all the far left extremists Obama cultists back pedal to defend the actions of their Lightbringer that they would have screamed bloody murder and flooded the streets protesting if anybody with a R after their name had done it.
Quote of the Decade
That is how Ed Driscoll tags it, and he’s probably right.
“In Wetumpka, we are patriotic Americans. We peacefully assemble. We petition our government. We exercise the right to free speech. And we don’t understand why the government tried to stop us.
I’m not here as a serf or a vassal. I’m not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born free American woman. Wife, mother, and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place. It’s not your responsibility to look out for my wellbeing and to monitor my speech. It’s not your right to assert an agenda. Your post, the post that you occupy, exists to preserve American liberty. You’ve sworn to perform that duty, and you have faltered…
What the government did to our little group in Wetumpka, Alabama is un-American. It isn’t a matter of firing or arresting individuals. The individuals who sought to intimidate us were acting as they thought they should, in a government culture that has little respect for its citizens. Many of the agents and agencies of the federal government do not understand that they are servants of the people. They think they are our masters. And they are mistaken.
I’m not interested in scoring political points. I want to protect and preserve the America that I grew up in. The America that people crossed oceans and risked their lives to become a part of. And I’m terrified it is slipping away.
Thank you.”
— Testimony of Becky Gerritson, president of the Wetumpka, Alabama Tea Party, before the House Ways and Means Committee
Quote of the Day
“25 states allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with no permit of any kind: some says it’s crazy. However, four out of five US murders are committed in the other half of the country: So who’s crazy?”

Quote of the Day
“Put down how much you earn, put down a deduction for charitable contributions, home mortgage and how much you owe. It ought to be a simple one-page postcard, and take the agents, the bureaucracy out of Washington and limit the power of government.”
A damn good idea. The IRS is too big and the tax code is much too complex and places an undo burden on the American taxpayer.
Quote of the Day
“Somehow we’ve gotten to a place where the bullying, sanctimonious, preening of Obama-style liberalism is seen as cool and rebellious. There’s no reasoning with what makes things cool. But radical? You’d have to scrape contemporary liberalism against a whetting stone for a week just to get it to “edgy” status. Virtually all the institutions of power young people interact with — schools, colleges, bureaucracies, corporations, Hollywood etc — are liberal. And yet these kids think they’re rebelling against something! What? Peaceful and hardworking Christians who live a hundred miles away?”
