I laugh out loud (lol) when I hear the various pundits and talking-heads declare that Mr. Obama’s problem is that he is an ‘introvert.’  Seriously?  If I take the definition of an ‘introvert’ and without any other consideration apply it to him then I would concur.  The classical definition of introvert:  to turn or direct inward and in psychology it is to concentrate (one’s interests) upon oneself.  In that definition I would say DEFINITELY because his focus is most assuredly upon himself.  However when I take the definition of a ‘narcissist’ I have to back away from the ‘introvert’ label or characterization!  The definition of narcissism:  Excessive love or admiration for oneself (conceit is a synonym).  A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.  When I add that definition to the mix I see Mr. Obama far more narcissistic than introverted.  Then when you factor in his selective ‘anti-social’ behavior I am even more convinced he is a narcissist rather than an introvert.

             They run from calling him a ‘narcissist’ because that would have a strong negative image conjured in people’s minds but to say that he is an ‘introvert’ affords him either sympathy or empathy from those wanting to support him or fearing to oppose him.  Many believe that an ‘introvert’ is a shy person but while that could be the case often it is not ‘shyness’ that causes them to turn inward but a lack of interest in other people as is the case with the narcissist.  Mr. Obama has demonstrated almost zero ‘empathy’ for the plight of people is a disturbing characteristic for any world leader and opens the door for massive ideological assault on freedoms and liberties with no sense of any responsibility or accountability.

            We all know that Barack Obama is anything but shy about proclaiming his own abilities and his tumescent sense of self-worth.  He has stated that his ascendency to the office of President of the United States will be noted in history as the moment when ‘our planet [began] to heal.’  That is incredible that any mortal human being would make such a self-exalted claim but not when you realize how he was reared and conditioned to view himself.  He demonstrates an incredibly ‘thin-skinned’ demeanor and an excessive need for admiration and praise while exhibiting continual grandiosity and lack of empathy.  He connects so well with the ‘entitlement world’ because he has a deep sense of ‘entitlement’ himself.  I do not know how anyone could fail to acknowledge his arrogance and insensitivity to the plight that his actions bring upon others. 

             The classical narcissist is ‘exploitative’ and we have witnessed that characteristic from this President on multiple occasions.  The narcissist can do no wrong in his/her own eyes and this is certainly a visible and demonstrable trait with Mr. Obama.  The narcissist is frequently, if not usually, very cold and ruthless underneath an outward appearance of being cool and engaging!  He is dismissive and holds incredible disdain for anyone who disagrees with him.  We have watched this in Mr. Obama and he incessantly blames someone else for anything and everything that is not deemed praiseworthy.  His prime target for blame even five years later is still George W. Bush.

            I would also argue that Mr. Obama is a ‘sociopath’.  Sociopaths love power.  Winning is all important to them and are almost entirely without empathy for others or the view of others.  Their ‘will to win’ at all costs precludes any possibility of demonstrating empathy for others.  Their opponents are viewed as hindrances that must be stamped out and annihilated in whatever fashion is possible.  Frankly, I believe that Barack H. Obama the current sitting President of these United States of America is a Narcissistic Sociopath who desires to be King.  I don’t think dictator is enough or emperor is sufficient for him and while he would probably hesitated to declare himself a god, King would be well within his yearning.  So, I cannot accept that his behavior is due to being an ‘introvert’ lacking normal social skills but due to his ‘narcissism’ and ‘sociopathic’ mindset, none of which implies intelligence.  That, for me, makes him a very dangerous person to be in charge of our government, our military, and certainly our healthcare. 

             It is critical that for all who practice prayer to become intercessors for our leaders and our nation.  If we do not see a transformation in their hearts our nation is in grave danger of an internal demise. 

             God bless you and God bless America!

            Are we willing to allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good?  I cannot count the number of times or people who have expressed to me dissatisfaction with this or that political candidate and declared that because that candidate did not meet their criteria for conservatism, constitutionalism, or something they just didn’t vote.  Some even acknowledge that by doing so their actions helped facilitate the election of the liberal, progressive, or socialist in the race.  Most of the time I am told “I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils because evil is still evil.”  Others have declared, “I’m standing on my principles.”  I do not argue that either are wrong but I do have some observations.

             First and foremost let me say that my purpose is not to chastise or criticize you for that stance or shame you into doing something differently if it is not in your heart.  What I am asking is that you hear what I have to say on the matter and if it resonates with you adopt it and if it doesn’t reject it.  If I say something about spiritual things and the hearer does not believe what I’m saying has veracity or anything worthy of accepting then I tell them ‘reject it’ but if it does ‘adopt it’ or at least ‘do further study’.  That is equally true in the political arena.

            If we demand that any given candidate embody 100% or even 90% alignment with our political ideology or beliefs and if they do not we are either going to ‘stay home’ or we are going to cast our ballot in such a way as to ensure the Democrat and the liberal wins is that good for the country?  I understand the argument and frustration with voting for what is often called ‘the lesser of two evils’.  I understand the desire for an alternative to the Democrat and Republican Parties. I understand the disgust with national candidates such as John McCain and Mitt Romney.  I get it, but even with those less than desirable candidates I still believe that this country would be better off with either of those than we are with Barack Obama in the Oval Office.  I realize that some have declared that they are the same but history proves that to be incorrect and while I applaud anyone standing on their convictions I go back to the question, “is it a good thing to allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good?’

             I have a difficulty with putting myself in a position that I am willing to allow ‘ultimate evil’ triumph over something that is less than ‘perfect’.  While I believe that both Romney and McCain are at best moderates and at worst RINO’s I still believe that either of them would have been infinitely better for America than Barack Obama and his radical liberal socialist transformational ideology which is destroying this nation.  I pray that the Republicans in 2016 do not run out Chris Christie as the standard bearer for the party because if they do they will lose again and in all likelihood we will have another Clinton in the White House and this one will be as radical if not more so than Barack Obama on most fronts.

            In the recent governor’s race in Virginia even with the Obama PAC bundler funding a split in potentially Republican vote by backing the Libertarian candidate whom they had no desire to win, the Democrat money machine, backing the Democrat and the scandalous lies in television commercials mischaracterizing the Republican he still almost won.  Had the Republican Establishment backed the Tea Party Candidate he would have won but they were more willing to see a liberal Democrat win than have the Tea Party given any credit for a Republican win.  They were willing to ignore the huge opportunity to drive a stake in the heart of Obamacare by defeating the Democrat that they by their actions have helped to advance the monster called “Obamacare.”  That, to me, is beyond reasonable comprehension. 

            Sadly, many of my friends have expressed a willingness in the pursuit of the perfect candidate allow the good to be defeated and see evil win while claiming a moral victory by standing on their principles.  Just like in sports ‘moral victories’ do not advance your cause they appease your conscience!  That is your right and I will defend your right to do take that stance and action this is America!  My only question is when you look at the overall big picture is choosing to allow the perfect to defeat the good the right choice?  I cannot answer that for you I can only answer it for myself.  I believe that we must defeat the liberal left and work to bring about a change over the next few decades.  We must adopt the strategy of the Democrats, the Fabian Socialist, and the Alynsky model of ‘looking to the future’ and taking ‘small victories’ and move toward real change and real transformation of the political landscape.  If that means withholding our votes for the Republican candidate in the interest of ultimately building a viable third party great.   However, I do not see that as the immediate solution and believe that we are so near ultimate destruction in this nation that we MUST WIN NOW and then begin to work on the long haul transformation.  If we allow the Democrats to regain the House, keep the Senate, and the White House for another eight years there will be nothing for that ‘perfect candidate’ to oversee America will be lost.  I wish we had the luxury of slowly forming an alternative to the established two major parties but I fear that the time it will take to accomplish that will result in the complete annihilation of the Constitution and a Free America.  I hope I am wrong and in the primaries will do everything I can to unseat the RINO’s.

             That being said, you consider and you decide what course you must take.  I simply ask that you place America ahead of your personal preferences in your decision.  May God bless you and may God bless America.

            I am growing very tired of the ‘denials’ of knowledge, involvement, responsibility, accountability, or anything else from this administration.  I keep hearing “Plausible Deniability” with regard to Mr. Obama from his defenders and supporters.  Somehow his ‘lack of knowledge’ about anything that is going on within his administration is supposed to be a good thing when in the civilian world it would be a ‘fireable offense’ but in politics it seems to be a plus and even a commendation.  That view is more than ‘dumb’ it is STUPID and being dumb is excusable but being stupid is not.  You can fix dumb by you can’t fix stupid.  Sadly, stupid seems to be a choice whereas dumb is not always by choice.  I am ‘dumb’ on any number of things because I lack the information and knowledge but I try not to be STUPID which is to ignore the facts, information, and go against reasonable logic.

            What is “plausible deniability?”  It refers to circumstances where a denial of responsibility or knowledge of wrongdoing cannot be proved as true or untrue due to a lack of evidence proving the allegation. This term is often used in reference to situations where high ranking officials deny responsibility for or knowledge of wrongdoing by lower ranking officials. In those situations officials can “plausibly deny” an allegation even though it may be true.  It also refers to any act that leaves little or no evidence of wrongdoing or abuse.  That seems to be the modus operandi of the Obama Administration and while not a new phenomenon it is revolting.

            It does not seem to matter what the situation, Mr. Obama ‘did not know’ and therefore is somehow excused.  However he is the Chief Executive in the Nation so as Truman said, “The Buck Stops Here” meaning his desk.  He claims to have ‘no knowledge’ regarding the Fast & Furious disaster, Benghazi, the IRS scandals, the Data Mining of the NSA,  the Eavesdropping on friends and foes alike, and now the disastrously failed website for his signature law OBAMACARE.  He just DOESN’T KNOW!  The man that has been billed as the ‘smartest man in the room’ and one whose brilliance is so bright that people virtually have to ‘wear sunglasses’ when in his presence to keep from being blinded by his brilliance DOESN’T KNOW!  The only way I can accept that is like Despots throughout history if he does not know it is because HE DOES NOT CARE!  His ideological agenda to ‘fundamentally transform America’ overrides his interest in the details.  I can accept his ‘not knowing’ only if it comes after his edict to ‘GET IT DONE but don’t bother me with the details.’

             I am insulted by anyone in his position trying to take the ‘plausible deniability’ out.  Mr. President, you are charged with protecting and defending the Constitution of these United States of America and your job as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, as the Chief Executive of this Nation, and the arguable leader of the Free World is TO KNOW and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.  Any failure on that front is an affront to every person who voted for you and every legal citizen or resident in this nation.  You seem to always have an opinion on matters involving race that are in the public view but when it comes to the matters of our economy, healthcare, and national security YOU DO NOT KNOW that is not acceptable!  It should not be acceptable to anyone including those who worship you with a cult-like reverence.  Somewhere reason should override the rock-star like infatuation and you be held accountable for what is taking place under your watch.

            Let me go one step further and say since you seem to feel that you can suspend the Constitution, ignore the laws passed by Congress and signed by your hand or that of another President picking and choosing what to enforce why not do the same to FIX THE MESS that you claim you were unaware of?  Of course you will not do that, and I really don’t want you to usurp the Constitution further by doing so but if you really cared about America, Americans, or any segment of our society you would demand immediate actions to rectify the mess but you won’t because the mess is what you wanted to begin with.

            I don’t buy your ‘plausible deniability’ and do hold you accountable for what is taking place under your watch.  Sadly, all I can do is vent and pressure my elected officials to stand firm in opposition to your failed and failing policies in hopes of stemming the tide of destruction that you have brought on this nation.  May God help us!

            God bless you and God bless America!

            Among the other credits that the current occupant of the White House has received I would like to give him another award that being ‘The Most Calamitous President in American History.’  In reviewing the campaign and the past five years it would seem to me that most in the political world failed to truly see the promises made by Mr. Obama during the campaign as having any serious threat and were deemed to be nothing more than political rhetoric in an attempt to be elected.  They have been proven wrong on so many occasions that it would be futile to enumerate them or even try.  He has proven to be quite the traducer in his war on the Constitution and anything or anyone that respects it and holds to a conservative political view.  His Anti-American, Anti-Free Market credo has driven him to inflict noxious policies upon the America people with calamitous results which are still being realized.

            Many on the Right within the Republican Establishment contended prior to and shortly after the election that Mr. Obama would govern as a centrist he has done anything but that.  His temerity in the advancing of his virulent ideology and the recreant Republican opposition or response has allowed the trio of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama to ram laws down our throats such as the Affordable Health Care Act aka Obama-care.  He and they ignore the mandates of the Constitution, hide evidence concerning the many scandals and the perfidious if not outright treasonous actions of the Department of Justice and other agencies overseen by this White House is more than a little disconcerting at times it is downright frightening.  He has purposefully sought to cozen the voting public and it is arguable that his fraud and deception regarding Obama-care is a more liable act that that of Bernie Madoff.  Mr. Madoff deceived a few but Mr. Obama has deceived an entire nation and perpetrated a fraud on an epic scale.  He did it knowingly with malice and forethought and that is, in my view, treasonous and certainly calamitous.

            This president has beguiled millions and many of them still bow at the proverbial altar erected in his honor by the media and various groups seeking to advance their particular segment of ideological thought.  He is pompous, mendacious, and is incredibly sybaritic in his indulgence and devotion to himself and the life of royalty.  America is finding out just how nefarious and iniquitous his opprobrious ideology and character is as he besmirches any suggestion by the Republicans and brands them as ‘terrorist’ or some other equally demeaning characterization.  I only wish that the Republicans in Washington had the moral rectitude to defend the Constitution, represent the majority of the citizens who have expressed a disapproval of this President’s policies including but not solely Obama-care.  Until and unless we have people in Washington that will STAND against the virulent calamitous policies and ideology of this administration we will go over the cliff into the abyss of ruin as a nation.

            So, Mr. Obama I want to officially award you with the distinguished title of “The Most Calamitous President in American History.”  You were serious when you declared that your express purpose and driving desire was to ‘fundamentally transform America.’  Sadly, many did not fully grasp what you meant and hopefully more and more are finding it impossible to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to what you are doing.  May God expose you and bring you to a place of decision regarding your fustian attitude clearly revealing your god-complex and desire to be emperor as you advance your designed dismantling of a free nation that still has as its motto: “In God We Trust.”  Sir, I still cling to the hope that America is a ‘Christian Nation’ not a ‘Muslim Nation’ as you and some of your associates have declared. 

             May God bless you and may God bless America!

            Maybe that is a misstatement and should be our tax dollars at waste!  The list is beyond my ability to be exhaustive and would in fact be exhausting to try to go through the entire list of ‘government waste’ but let’s unveil a few that you may or may not be aware of.  After we look at them I want you to answer one question – “How can you support increased government spending?’

             Our wonderfully efficient and prudent government spent $2.6 Million to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly.  I’m sure that there is some explanation as to how this affects our national security and national interest but I have yet to see it logically.  This same government that is continually crying about needing MORE REVENUE or TAXES spent almost $200K to see if cocaine use would cause Japanese quail engage in sexual activity.  WHAT?  We spent a cool MILLION to build a soccer field for the Guantanamo Bay detainees.  But I’m sure that their comfort is far more important than our safety or maybe if they can play soccer they won’t be interested in committing acts of terror!  We have learned that the IRS is paying out $70 Million in bonuses although that was forbidden under Sequester.  Additionally we are leaving about $7 Billion in military equipment behind in Afghanistan.  This same efficient federal government is now going to be running our Health Care Industry and somehow make it more efficient, less costly, and better – – No Virginia the moon is not made of green cheese.

            Remember how much the Obama’s African trip cost?  It was in excess of $100 Million.  Then I saw that the National Institute of Health is spending over $500K on a study that will send text messages in ‘gay lingo’ to ‘meth addicts’ to try to get them to use fewer drugs and use condoms.  How about this one – The National Science Foundation gave Yale University almost $400K to conduct research on “Sexual Conflict, Social Behavior and the Evolution of Waterfowl Genitalia.”  Now I feel so much better!  To make us feel even better we learn that the U.S. Government has or is giving (16) F-16’s and (200) Abrams tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and one of their headline statements has been, “Dear brothers, we must never forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionist and Jews and all who support them.” 

             With regard to those working for or around this President we find that there are 139 (maybe more) White House staffers who made a minimum of $100K in 2012 and 20 or more made over $150K.  The tax-payers are handed a bill for over $1.4 Billion to care for the Obama family each year in contrast to the British spend $58 Million on the entire Royal Family.  But one that really makes me feel good about our government’s spending and use of our money is the $25K spend organizing a promotional tour for the Alabama Watermelon Queen in 2012.  But not to leave out our furry friends the U.S. Government spent over $500K to promote specialty hair and beauty products for cats and dogs last year.  I will sleep so much better at night now knowing that dogs and cats are going to get their hair and beauty products at the government’s expense.

             Let’s not forget the perks for Congress where over the past 15 years our tax-payer dollars spent for ‘hair care services’ for the U.S. Senate was a paltry $5.25 Million.  We have to keep those Senator’s hair looking good.  But moving on we also spent $27 Million to teach Moroccans how to design and make pottery in 2012.  With our unemployment rate incredibly high and the economy in dire straits our frugal government managed to spend $1.3 Million to ‘reduce linguistic, academic, and unemployment barriers for skilled and low-skilled immigrants and refugees, and to integrate them into the U.S. workforce and professions.”  (That included ILLEGALS).  Don’t you feel better already?  Of course we dare not forget that various government agencies purchased over 2 Billion rounds of ammunition for ‘training purposes.’  Either they are incredibly bad shots, train an awful lot or someone has lied about why they purchased the ammunition.  Let me give you two more and I have not scratched the surface of the waste – During 2012, the National Science Foundation spent over $500K on the creation of a video game named “Prom Week” designed to simulate “all the social interactions of the event.”  WOW!   Lastly, let me note that the National Institute of Health endowed a group of ‘researchers’ to study the benefits of watching reruns on television at the tune of over $650K. 

            Okay, before I ask my initial question I cannot omit this one – The National Science Foundation gave $1.2 Million to a team of ‘scientists’ to determine if elderly people would benefit by playing ‘World of Warcraft.’    Now back to my initial observation and question – “In light of all this and more can you seriously support increased government spending?”  If you can then I have to ask, “What part of the pie are you getting?”  This waste may be a drop in the bucket in light of the TRILLIONS being spent but each little weight adds up to the point that the boat can no longer stay afloat.

            WE MUST REDUCE THE DEBT, THE DEFICIT and STOP THIS INSANE SPENDING!  We do not have decades to get this under control we have run out of time.  The time is now!

             God bless America and God bless you!

            I’ve heard lame baseless arguments to support things but this ascends high on the list of the most ridiculous one could offer – “But it’s the law of the land….”   That is the argument of the left regarding the Affordable Health Care Act aka Obamacare.  They shout that as though it should mean that all opposition is immediately silenced and everyone simply complies!  Do you really want to go there?  Are you sure you want to make that argument?  Okay I gave you the opportunity to think so let’s follow that logic and argument through history.

             If we are to surmise that because a bill has been passed by Congress, signed into law by the President, and the Supreme Court has ruled on its Constitutionality we are to passively and obediently comply what do we do about some interesting events in history? 

             That logic would mean that people like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr. and anyone involved in the Civil Rights Movement were ‘criminals’ because they did not comply with the ‘Separate But Equal’ – LAW OF THE LAND prior to the Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 which overturned it.  That had been the LAW OF THE LAND for 58 years!  It was something that many felt could not and should not be allowed to stand, was discriminatory and should be opposed but if we follow the Democrat logic they were engaging in ‘unlawful’ or ‘criminal’ activity and instead of being applauded for their stance and fight they should be branded as criminals. That would mean that Bull Connor and those who took his stance should be lauded as patriots because they were upholding THE LAW OF THE LAND.  So again, I ask “Do you really want to take that path?”

            If you will examine history you will find that it was once the LAW OF THE LAND that women had ‘no vote’.  It was not until the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 that the demand for the enfranchisement of women rose to the heights to propel it into reality.  In fact, after the Civil War, women led by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others over the disparity of enfranchising black men but still not giving women the right to vote.  It was not until the passage of the 19^th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 that women gained the right to vote.  Does that mean that those women and men who demonstrated and roused public sentiment against THE LAW OF THE LAND should be regarded as ‘criminals’ because they did not obediently comply with a bad law?  Were they ‘hostage takers’, ‘terrorist’, and ‘evil’? 

           How about slavery, it was also THE LAW OF THE LAND.  In the Dred Scott decision in 1857 the Supreme Court ruled that African Americans, whether slave or free, could not be American citizens and therefore had no standing to sue or bring suit in a federal court, and that the federal government had no power to regulate slavery in the federal territories acquired after the creation of the United States.  Thus, the Supreme Court declared that slavery was THE LAW OF THE LAND and legal.  So, anyone on the side of the North in the Civil War was breaking the LAW OF THE LAND and those in the South were only enforcing the Law of the Land!   (I must insert that it is my view that the Civil War was about more than slavery and very high on the reason was States Rights.  My view, you do not have to agree.)  But, do we want to say that those who were opposed to slavery were breaking the law because, after all it was the LAW OF THE LAND, and those that supported it were simply enforcing the LAW OF THE LAND?   Do you really want to take that path?  Slavery was written by Democrats and approved by the Supreme Court.  So really!

            We could talk about “Prohibition” which led to more violence, corruption, and criminal activity than almost anything in our modern history.  It was a bad law and thousands if not millions of lives were ruined as a result of this law but it was THE LAW OF THE LAND.  The “Poll Tax” was the Law of the Land but was opposed.  Segregation was the Law of the Land but opposed.  So now when Obamacare is opposed by a majority of Americans and by members of Congress they are called ‘bigots’, ‘racist’, ‘terrorists,’ ‘extortionist’, and many other names because they are resisting THE LAW OF THE LAND.   We could have solved the healthcare problem or at least addressed it more reasonably without Obamacare but that would not give Barack Obama his ‘signature’ piece of legislation for his legacy.  What will that legacy be?  It depends on who is writing the history books.  Medicare/Medicaid could have been expanded, the payroll tax expanded and many other approaches but instead we have FORCED CONSCRIPTION into Health Insurance mandated by the government that is going to be of lesser quality and more expensive than what we had.  One of the reasons they are taking this pathway is because they do not want State Governments controlling any of the mix and want to move us to ‘Single Payer Government Run Healthcare’ and CONTROL.  

            So before you argue ‘It is the Law of the Land’ you might want to study history and realize that you are painting yourself in a corner.  But, since when did this president or the Democrat members of Congress become concerned with the Constitution or the Law?  They skirt it, bypass it, ignore it, and avoid it so frequently that one would wonder where they came up with that argument.  I guess it was from the same source that caused Hillary and Pelosi to utter, “What difference does it make?” on separate occasions and issues.

             America, bad laws are to be opposed and through peaceful and legal means changed, rescinded, and revoked.  Just because something is THE LAW OF THE LAND does not make it good or right.  

             God bless you and God bless America!

            On October 10, 2013 George Will’s column entitled “JFK and the Dawn of Punitive Liberalism” set me to thinking about what drives the liberal establishment and political elite in America.  Mr. Will’s article is interesting and thought provoking.  Is it correct?  I would say, largely yes!  He references a book written by James Piereson of the Manhattan Institute in 2007 entitled “Camelot and the Cultural Revolution:  How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism.”  Mr. Will states, “Hitherto a doctrine of American celebration and optimism, liberalism would now become a scowling indictment:  Kennedy was killed by America’s social climate, whose sickness required ‘punitive liberalism.”  That being a liberalism that would PUNISH America for her sins, injustices, and ills going all the way back to our founding.  It was a belief that would be advanced in a more pronounced way that ‘punitive liberalism’ would be required to purge this nation of those who were other than liberal.

             Punitive liberalism would transform or undergo a metamorphosis into the doctrine of grievance groups who believed they are owed redress for cumulative inherited injuries inflicted by the nation’s flawed history, poisonous present and ruinous future. It would become, in its view, the sole legitimate conscience of the nation because those on the right and less committed liberals had allowed the culture and society of this nation to descend into a state so toxic that it could murder a beloved president.  From that time forward to be a good liberal would require one to be one whose task and mission would be to scold and cajole anyone in opposition.  Those they deemed guilty would of necessity be punished and made to pay for their errors.

             With that analogy in mind when one views the likes of Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi it is easier to understand what is going on with them and why this president would want to MAKE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL THE PAIN so he could blame the Republicans for our economic woes.  But, I am convinced that this is simply a tool that Obama and his handlers use allowing them to draw into their alliance those who follow liberalism and more directly punitive liberalism.  It allows them to deceive and dupe countless groups and cement them as solid voting blocks for the left and the Democrat party.  Those who believe they are ‘entitled’ to redress, reparation, and should be able to ‘punish’ all of a particular race or group who do not agree.  Forget the fact that the Democrat Party has long had a history of being other than supportive of ‘civil rights’ and interested in the ‘middle class’. 

            Yet, the core of liberalism certainly has been much more determined to revise history, force the nation to pay for the perceived sins they believe should be paid for, and propel them into a more solid position of power.  The core of ‘punitive liberalism’ seeks to ‘fundamentally transform America’ into something other than a Constitutional Republic and are willing to sacrifice virtually anyone or anything to achieve their objective.  I will acknowledge that from the time of the Kennedy assassination to the present liberalism has been much more aggressive in his pursuit and we have witnessed the transformation of the left politically into ‘style’ rather than ‘programmatic’.  Liberalism has consistently become more and more concerned with lifestyle rather than material well-being.

            However, it is my contention that the modern ‘punitive liberalism’ that we are witnessing goes much further back than the Kennedy assassination and has been in the works for over 100 years and finds its roots in Fabian Socialism to name one group that it has evolved from.  It is not truly interested in America because it views America as a flawed and evil nation.  It is not interested in individual liberties because it believes that an All Powerful Federal Government is the answer to the problems of the nation.  It is not interested in the Constitution because it considers the Constitution a hindrance rather than a guide or rule by which we operate.

             The Democrat Party, for the most part, certainly the National Party has so completely adopted the view of ‘punitive liberalism’ that it has become the enemy of a free nation.  I am not saying every person that calls or identifies themselves as a Democrat follows that philosophy, but many do.  Likewise I am not saying that anyone who calls themselves a Republican is good, moral, Constitutional, or desirous of an advancing Free Republic.  There are bad eggs in both parties.  The Republican establishment has become so like the Democrat establishment that it is in dire need of transformation.  In fact, what it needs in the absence of a formidable alternative is to be ‘reclaimed’ by the rank and file as it was under Ronald Reagan.  You can blast the ‘Tea Party’ and trash those like ‘Ted Cruz’ but if you truly follow what they promote you will find that their interest is America and returning to a Constitutional Republic.  You either support that or you do not, there really is not gray area in which to stand at this time. 

            I support a return to a Constitutional Republic that is governed and guided by the Constitution of these United States of America and will continue to recognize God’s hand in the formation and development of our nation.  I will give myself to the cause of any candidate that truly demonstrates that as a foundational principle in their political philosophy and belief.  We do not have to agree 100% of the time but we most assuredly must agree on the core critical points of that pursuit.

             May God bless you and may God bless America again!

            Of the many synonyms for ‘petulant’ we find peevish, bad-tempered, querulous, pettish, fretful, cross, irritable, sulky, snappish, crotchety, touchy, tetchy, testy, fractious, grumpy, disgruntled, crabby, insolent, impatient, pouting, bratty, ungracious, fault-finding.  One sentence example was – “He is easily irritated or annoyed; an incorrigibly fractious person; not the least nettlesome of his countrymen.”  All those synonyms and the sentence fit this President to the ‘T’.  He is one of, if not the most petty I have ever observed. 

            He resorts to ‘name calling’, throwing ‘temper tantrums’, huffing out of the room and bullying to get his way.  He reminds me of a ‘spoiled child’ much in need of the board of education applied behind the barn in the aft portion of the body.  It would seem that his life has been one of being catered to and having such an ‘entitlement mentality’ that he truly believes that his is a ‘rock star’ or some ‘god’ and everyone should be in awe of him when he walks into the room.  To question him or disagree with him is beyond his ability to accept or deal with.  I can only imagine working for or with him because one would have to walk on egg shells all the time for fear that he would blow a gasket over the smallest of things. 

             He has, from all appearance, an incredible lack of ability to be forthcoming and honest.  It seems that, to him, the truth is whatever he desires it to be without concern for the facts.  Even when he publicly makes a statement or promise and it comes to light that it is erroneous he then declares that he did not say that as with his Syrian Red Line he claimed the world drew the line not Barack Obama.  He often appears incapable of comprehending that as a human being (I am loosely attributing that status to him) he is capable of being wrong as most of us learned early on in life.  However, no one in his entourage, cabinet, party, or even most Republicans has the courage to ‘call it like it is’. 

            Sadly, the Republicans in Congress of the McCain, Boehner, Peter King, Lisa Murkowski, Chuck Grassley ilk, and others all want to ‘kiss the king’s ring’ and bow at his alter rather than standing for the Constitution, and the principles this nation was founded on.  It is past time that we CLEAN HOUSE in the HOUSE and SENATE and send every RINO home that we can.  It is time that we identify them and call them out.  It is time that we diligently work to find people to ‘primary’ them with and seek to defeat them so we can have constitutional, conservative, America loving candidates in the general elections across this nation.  That means that each of us in our local precincts must work to support that type of candidate.  We need to become involved in the process on a county-wide and state-wide basis.  We need to volunteer, campaign for, and contribute as we can to the cause of Constitutional, Conservative, and America loving candidates.

             If we fail to stand up to the BULLIES in the White House, the Democrat, and Republican Parties we are sealing the doom of this Republic that we have loved and hold dear.  We will have failed to do what Benjamin Franklin said, “We have a Republic if we can keep it.”  It is ours.  The government is supposed to be ‘of the people, for the people, and by the people.’  It is not to be of the Aristocratic Political Elite in Washington or the State Houses, it is to be the Joe the Plumber, and Morris the Electricians of this nation.  It is to be the average citizen who works, pays taxes, and follows the rules.  I want my country back and am committed to doing all in my power to see that become a reality. 

             So as you focus on the upcoming elections I plead with you to invest your time, energy, and finances to RECLAIMING AMERICA the America the colonist fought for and the Framers provided for us.  If it is worth having it is worth fighting for!

            May God bless you and may God bless America again!

            On October 2, 2013 Representative Henry Waxman (D. California) was asked if he had read all 10,535 pages of the final regulations of Obamacare that have been published thus far by the Federal Resister he replied, “Is it important that I read it?”  Duh!  Congressman you are part of Legislature that passed the Affordable Health Care Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) as well as the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA).  We have had 110 final regulations published, to date, by the Federal Register on how Obamacare will be implemented, so – YES IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ IT!   This thing is so massive that NO ONE truly knows what is in it and as one writer pointed out it is eight times the number of pages than there are in the Gutenberg Bible which has 642 two-sided pages or 1,286 pages. 

            Harry Reid stated that Democrats won’t ‘pick and choose’ what parts of the government to fund while speaking at a press conference on October 2^nd.  CNN reporter Dana Bash asked about helping out a hypothetical ‘one child with cancer’ and Reid responded, “Why would we do that?”  How is that for the loving, compassionate, caring Democrats? 

            The President on the other hand demonstrated his incredible concern for the situation in Washington by showing off his skills – on the golf course!  He reportedly set a new personal best during the round.  Now that is incredibly important!  We certainly need the President to improve his golf game while the country goes to hell in a hand basket, so to speak.  In fact that round was the 35^th round of the year meaning he has played more golf this year than any previous year with 19 last year (a down year), 34 in 2011, and 30 in 2010.  I wish I could have played half that many personally but I was too busy trying to insure that my family was taken care of, but then I’m not a King so we lowly must work while the aristocrats play.

            Prior to 1995 in the face of a government ‘shut down’ the terms used for people or services that would be affected was ‘essential’ or ‘non-essential’.  That was tweaked because it was not deemed politically correct terminology so now we are calling it ‘excepted’ and ‘non-excepted.’  However, many are still using the old terms but only when they are trying to reflect badly on the Republicans.

             The military continues to operate, the embassies stay open around the world, the mail continues to run, air traffic controllers stay on the job, all emergency medical services, border patrol, federal prisons, most law enforcement, emergency disaster assistance, overseeing the banking system, operating the power grid, and guarding federal property continues without interruption.  That is unless Mr. Obama decides to violate the law and the Constitution and do something differently and as he has said repeatedly, “I’m in charge I’ll do what I want.”  I was unaware that the election of 2008 or 2012 was to install a Dictator or Emperor in the United States but I guess I missed that memo.

            Since over 70% of Americans are opposed to the Affordable Health Care Act aka Obamacare it would seem logical that the latest compromise that the Repuplicrats offered to DELAY Obamacare would be acceptable since Mr. Obama has already arbitrarily delayed the Employer Mandate without Constitutional authority, I might add.  It would seem that the delay of the Individual Mandate would be no big deal but since the objective is to MAKE AMERICA HURT in order to punish the Republicans in an effort to regain control of the House in 2014 we have the adamant unflinching authoritarian demand that NO NEGOTIATIONS WITH REPUBLICANS….   Thus we have the shutdown!  Who will blink first?  Probably the Republicans for they fully believe that their position is so tedious and they are filled with such trepidation that will, as in the past cave. Of course Mr. Obama, in the media, is declaring that he has ‘bent over backward’ to work with the Republicans and would gladly negotiate with them on Obamacare IF they give him ‘everything he wants’ on the budget and spending.  Pardon me, but if I give the person I’m trying to negotiate with EVERYTHING THEY WANT what do I have left to negotiate with?  But, I keep forgetting that Mr. Obama and the Democrats consider is ‘ignorant’ beyond measure and the voters keep proving them right! 

             What will that mean in 2014?  It will probably mean that the Democrats gain seats and the Republicans become the villains they are being painted in the minds of millions of voters.  The scare tactics used by the Democrats and the failure to articulate, package, and sell their platform by the Republicans will likely mean disastrous results in 2014 and possibly 2016.  We so need a Ronald Reagan who is both conservative and articulate to rise up in the name of Constitutionality and Conservatism.  America needs a Moses to lead us out of this wilderness of debt, deficit, and tyranny.

             I plead with one and all to become involved like never before, stay informed, and if you pray please become an intercessor for this nation.  Our present and our future as a Free People depend on what we do in the next few years!

             God bless you and God bless America again!
