Now We Know

Some have called Rand Paul's filibuster historic. Some have called it pointless. It has simultaneously been referred to as a success and as a failure. Senator Paul did indeed get Eric Holder to admit that the President believes it is unconstitutional to use drones against Americans on American soil without a trial, which is what he was asking for. But many believe that words are cheap, especially when those words come from anyone in the Obama Administration. And it may indeed be that this means nothing for the future of drone usage in America. Sen. Paul himself has said that this is just the beginning of the fight. But if the filibuster achieves nothing else, it did have one extremely important outcome. In the world of politics, it can be hard to distinguish one person from the next. Corruption is everywhere and words, as mentioned above, are cheap. It can be very hard to know which politicians mean what they say, and which care only about their own pockets. Well Rand Paul's filibuster made things a whole lot clearer on Wednesday.

As Senator Paul stood on the Senate floor for just under 13 hours, fighting to bring attention to the erosion of our rights as Americans, he was joined by fellow senators. But only a handful. 14 Republican senators stood behind, and with, Rand Paul as he tried to defend the Constitution. Only 1 Democrat senator did. 15. 15 (16 including Paul) out of 100 chose to go against their parties, president, and the status quo in order to try and make sure Americans retain their rights. That is a staggering number. Yet many of us have believed for a long while that most of our representatives in Congress are sell outs. Now we know who they are. Republican or Democrat, it does not matter. What matters is our Constitution which defends our Freedom. Either you are fighting for it, or you are fighting against it.

Those fighting for it include: Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.).

The Blaze also reports that Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) was in attendance and supported Paul’s filibuster by bringing the senator a thermos and an apple, a likely reference to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” However, Kirk, who recently returned to the Senate after suffering a stroke, did not speak during the filibuster. The Blaze article also has a full list of the other 32 Republican senators who did not choose to join the filibuster.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) was the only Democrat to support the filibuster, much to the chagrin of liberals who, whaddaya know, also don't want drones killing Americans without due process on U.S. soil. The ACLU and John Cusack were discouraged at the lack of Democrat support.

I think we all are a little discouraged that the men and women we elect to defend our rights are willing to so easily sell us down the proverbial river, but at least now we know who we can trust to stand up for us and who we can't. My advice: Don't ever vote for anyone not on that list again. Rand Paul's filibuster may not have achieved much, but it has exposed the dirty politicians from the (relatively) clean ones. Now we know who to trust. And as G.I. Joe taught me: knowing is half the battle.

(It should be noted that a number of representatives from the U.S. House also attended to support the filibuster, but I have yet to find a definitive list of who as of yet. If I do, I will update with it.)

UPDATE: In an op-ed Paul wrote for the Washington Post, he included the members of Congress who stood with him during his filibuster. Sixteen House Republicans showed up in the Senate to show solidarity. They are: Louis Gohmert (TX), Thomas Massie (KY), Justin Amash (MI), Ron DeSantis (FL), Doug LaMalfa (CA), Garland Barr (KY), Trey Radel (FL), Michael Burgess (TX), Jim Bridenstine (OK), Raul Labrador (ID), Keither Rothfus (PA), Paul Gosar (AZ), Steve Daines (MONTANA), Bill Huizenga (MI), Richard Hudson (NC), and David Schweikert (AZ). It should also be noted that Senator Angus King, an Independent from Maine, also stood on the floor in support of Paul.

C'mon Baby, Eat the Rich!

By now you may have seen the video made for the California Federation of Teachers (is there any other kind?) entitled "Tax the Rich." This cartoon espouses the Marxist Class Warfare that has suddenly become normal in our country. The poor are poor because the rich have taken all their money. Not only is this cartoon hilariously inaccurate, it also uses stereotypes from, like, the 1920's. I haven't seen a fat rich guy with a monocle smoking a cigar since the last time I played Monopoly. And not really even then cause I played Lord of the Rings Monopoly. I also love that a cartoon teaching that the rich are evil is narrated by a rich guy. That's, dare I say it, rich! Here's the aforementioned cartoon.

I have to admit, I only watched like two minutes of that...but I caught the highlights on Red Eye last night, so I know what happens. I find it extremely humorous that two out of the three types of ways the rich got richer-by taking advantage of loop holes and by just not paying taxes-have been used by some of Obama's most lucrative backers. Yet Democrats don't want to close loopholes like some Republican plans call for. So why is it that the Republicans are seen as protecting the rich while the Democrats are seen as against the rich and for the poor?? I guess stereotypes are hard to break. While Obama spews his Marxist Class Warfare, the Political Class live like royalty. Get used to it. Socialism has never formed a one class system. The fat cats in the government, on both sides of the aisle, will always seek to remain the fat cats. Luckily for them, Socialism allows some to continue living the high life while the majority suffers. No wonder Boehner wants on the boat.

I also came across this video by Bill Whittle, which does a good job of explaining why the whole "Tax the Rich" battle cry is nothing more than Marxist drivel.

So there ya go, liberals. Good luck trying to explain why you want to tax the rich after seeing that. With a government that spends $11 for every $7 taken in...you could eat the rich and still not be able to run this government.

The Fiscal Cliff - Get Your Parachutes Ready

The Fiscal Cliff is all that is being talked about. The cliff is coming up...can we avoid it...will our leaders agree to avert disaster....who's to blame??

Let me make it clear. We WILL go over the so-called Fiscal Cliff. It's all part of our dear leader's plan. I've said this before but since it's such a hot topic it bears repeating. Barack Obama is a Marxist. He believes in Socialism and will do what he can to guide America into a Socialist nation. In Marxist philosophy, the Middle Class is evil. Well all classes are evil, but you need to destroy Capitalism like a pyramid. You take out one level at a time.

The next level is the Middle Class. Is there any wonder why then that policies such as Obamacare hurt the Middle Class? That is what Obama wants.

Now he came up with this Fiscal Cliff plan. Originally intended to be so destructive that it would force the two sides to compromise, Barack Obama has made compromise all but impossible. The news today is that his plan is laughable in it's ridiculousness. It's meant to be. Obama doesn't want a compromise. He wants to drive us all over the cliff in order to drive us closer to Socialism.

He has made his deal so one-sided that Republicans will never agree to it. Charles Krauthammer said Robert E. Lee was offered better terms at Appomattox. (If you don't know what that is, go to the penelty box and feel shame. And read a history book while in there.) If, by some combination of guilt and fear for their political future the Republicans agree to his terms, they will be agreeing to a plan designed to only increase Socialism even more. Either way, the road we're on leads to Socialism at the direction of Barack Hussein Obama.

And it's really a win-win for B.O. He gets to push America off the cliff, smashing the Middle Class, and he gets to blame it on his opposition. Once America starts to feel the pain, they will look for someone to blame. And B.O. can say with a smile, "Hey, I had a plan that would save you. It was the evil Republicans who don't care about you. I wanted to save you. They only cared about the rich." And America will explode in anti-Republican sentiment that will only hasten the Democrat-Socialist takeover.

And once the Middle Class has been destroyed, pushed back down into the Lower Class (that's Socialism's goal-one class; and history shows that class is poor), the Democrat-Socialist règime will set it's sights on the next level of the Capitalist Pyramid, determined to destroy all classes in America. That won't happen for a few years though. For the next few years, they will focus on crushing the Middle Class in which most of American's reside. We will go over the Fiscal Cliff. Get your parachutes ready.

The new Cheka hard at work discrediting McCain

Earlier I wrote about the new Cheka and how their goal is the same as the original Cheka in Soviet Russia: silence the opposition. As I wrote, the new Cheka isn't a secret police force; instead it is the people themselves who have been indoctrinated with leftist/Marxist drivel since 6th grade. Well no group in America embodies the new Cheka quite as well as the media...who, over generations, have been bred to repeat leftist ideas instead of critically thinking up any of their own.

Today, the media Cheka are hard at work trying to silence anyone pointing a finger at President Obama or his woefully inept administration concerning the Benghazi massacre. The new object of their ire: Senator John McCain. McCain, already hated by the left for being a war hero (to them there is no such thing as a war hero; anyone involved in war is inherently evil), is now being viciously and repeatedly attacked by the talking heads in the media for questioning Susan Rice's involvement in the incident, her response to it (which turned out to be straight lies), and her part played in trying to obfuscate the facts. Rice, who may be in line to become the new Secretary of State once Hillary retires to focus on her presidential campaign, was the one who took her message of deceit to five morning talk shows 5 days after the Benghazi massacre. You'll remember, she said it was all caused by a protest gone wrong and that there was no proof that it was a premeditated attack.

Well now, Senator McCain, along with Sens. Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte, has said that he will filibuster Rice's nomination as Secretary of State until the Benghazi incident has been fully investigated in public hearings. McCain is calling for Watergate-style hearings into the White House's handling of the incident, including the decrease in security leading up to the attack and the lie about it all being a protest that was spread for two weeks after the attack (before they all agreed that it was indeed terrorism, and that is what they had said all along!).

This incursion into the Marxist regime plan has not been taken lightly by the new Cheka, and the media has responded in scathing, and somewhat predictable, fashion. They are now painting McCain as an Ahab-type figure, who, consumed with his loss to Obama in the 2008 election, is now taking any chance to try and "get back" at Obama. They are saying that his criticism of Susan Rice, as well as the whole Benghazi incident, is simply because he is a sore loser that just won't accept that he lost. Now I am not a huge fan of McCain, but this attack, being repeated at all levels of the media, is completely disingenuous and disgusting. (Not that I should expect different from the "state media.") First off, the Benghazi massacre is not just some "bump in the road," as Obama put it. It's a major, historical event. The death of an ambassador is nothing to sneeze at, and the idea that the death of 4 Americans is not really important is of such anathema to me that I feel that anyone making that case needs a good punch in the nose! I know in America today we are more concerned with who got voted off of Dancing with the Stars than anything that is happening in other parts of the world...and also that life is cheaper than once believed...and that if it doesn't affect me I shouldn't care. I do believe that is what is wrong with America today. A lot of people need punching in the nose!

But to attack John McCain as a sore loser 4 freaking years after he lost seems like a bit of a desperate measure! However, I do know that the American public will eat it up, as anything said on TV is taken as truth by most people who can't be bothered to come up with their own thoughts. This is why the new Cheka is winning in reshaping America into a socialist paradise, and why more and more Americans are becoming a part of the new Cheka. And as mentioned in my last post, this attack on a Republican is all part of the plan. The media are complicit in this plan, and this story is just one example of it. McCain, as well as other Republicans who continue to make trouble for the new Socialist Regime in Washington, will be phased out of the American consciousness over the next 4 years by a lying and traitorous media complex.

Obama's 2nd term goals: Crush the Middle Class, Republicans

Apparently President Obama gave a press conference today. I don't know, I didn't watch it and I won't watch another television appearance of his again since I already know his plans and that he's just lying most of the time anyway. But in reading about the conference, I see that my predictions regarding his 2nd term plan is starting to take shape. I went over it a little in my last few posts, but I didn't clearly explain it. So I'll do it here.

In this term you will see Obama do two things for sure. One, he will continue to wage war on the bourgeoisie. That is the majority of business owners and middle class. In Marxist terms, the bourgeoisie are the middle class business owners...the petit bourgeoisie are the working middle class. The middle class are seen as evil in Marxism because they own the majority of the businesses and make more money than the general mass of poor workers, the proletariat. And so they need to be crushed. This will be attempted by raising taxes and increasing regulations. So while President Obama says he will help the middle class, his actual goal is to stamp them back down into the proletariat. That's why businesses are being suffocated by taxes and regulations and why unemployment will increase. By crushing the middle class, they will become a part of the proletariat and join the socialist cause, since they will have no other option for surviving. Marxism 101.
It's why, while publicly declaring that we need to tax the rich in order to save the middle class, he has doubled his tax revenue offer to the Republicans in Congress from $800 billion to 1.6 trillion...all but assuring we do indeed go over the fiscal cliff. That IS what he wants.

The second thing he will do this term is inherently connected to that last statement. He will blame the Republicans in Congress...heck, in the whole country, but in Congress particularly...for all the troubles America will soon face. Once we go over the fiscal cliff and Obamacare is fully integrated, as taxes rise on all and more and more people are unable to keep and find work, Americans will be mighty unhappy. But Obama has seen in the last election that people are stupid and willing to believe whatever they hear from the media as true, so he will use their troubles to try to get rid of his enemies across the aisle. The Republican Party is squarely is his crosshairs. Already the media are saying that the Republican Party is dying off because they are old, rich, white men who want to take away womens' right to vote and re-institute slavery. The state media (because let's not be foolish, the big networks ARE now the state run media) will follow their master's lead and continue to lay all the problems of America at the feet of Republicans. He'll say we went over the fiscal cliff because they protected the rich at the expense of the middle class. Even though, as I stated above, it's his plan all along to take America over that cliff in order to hurt the middle class, the media will regurgitate that lie to the people. He'll say that Republicans are stonewalling any efforts in Congress to provide relief for the middle class...even though he will in fact be circumventing Congress with Executive Orders. The media will repeat the lie as will the Obama zombies. As businesses are forced to close and families all across America are forced to cut back, Obama will blame it all on the Republicans. He will...the media will...and the idiots will. Instead of blaming Bush for the next four years, Obama will instead continue to blame each and every problem on the Republican Party. He will seek to make that Party so toxic that America will never trust them again...thus insuring the continued, unmitigated reign of his Socialist-Democratic Party. Today's press conference was only the beginning of this plan.

And while he may (and probably will) do much more during his 2nd term, the two goals he will definitely try to achieve will be to destroy the middle class, and destroy the Republican Party. He's doing a masterful job of it so far...aided by the subjective media, of course...and you can only expect it to continue. Watch for it. At this point, it's all but a guarantee.
