This is not a new revelation but this Administration is guilty of using what I would call “Smoke & Mirrors Reporting” of the economy, employment, and unemployment.  It is fictional at best and an outright lie at worst!  As I read the jobs report for December 2013 I noticed that the reported unemployment rate fell from 7% to 6.7%.  On the surface that sounds good but when you examine the numbers you scratch your head and ask – HOW?

             74,000 jobs were added in December a significant slowdown of reported jobs increases over the past few months and is the smallest number since January 2011 so how did the unemployment rate drop?  That is easy one to answer – 347,000 dropped out of the labor force completely and are no longer looking for work so they do not count anymore!  Convenient isn’t it?  This is so fictional and so smoke and mirrors that is should have everyone including the lame stream media up in arms over the fictionality but they aren’t.  In fact, few are even mentioning it anymore as this has become so the norm it is now accepted and that is tragic.  A lie is being sold to the public and millions believe it that we are RECOVERING and people are going back to work in droves.  If that is the case then why the need for extending ‘unemployment benefits’ another year?  

            The average workweek also fell from 34.5 hours to 34.4 and the underemployment rate including part-timers who want full-time work and those who no longer are looking, and the unemployed is reported as being 13.1%.  That is a much more realistic number than the fictional 6.7% unemployment.  I would suggest that 13.1% does not scratch the surface of the real number if everyone who is employable and those underemployed were calculated but alas that would be the real world not the world of fictional politics.

            There was even a drop in the construction industry of approximately 16,000 jobs so I must ask even with the winter weather does that sound like a ‘boom’?  We did see that there were 40,000 temporary jobs added but does that suggest that the jobs market is coming back?  Not really, it suggests that employers are utilizing this vehicle as a means to take care of a situation or need and allows them to avoid the costs of benefits for those employees and an easy means of releasing them without additional costs.  It sounds like a stagnant economy and jobs market to me, but then I try to live in the real world not the fictional one that the President and most politicians seem to live in.

            I have to ask, “If the unemployment rate is the best it has been since 2008 why do we need to keep extending unemployment benefits that we cannot afford and do not create jobs?”  I saw that someone stated on Facebook that if Obama had not acted in five years we would be screaming about his inaction.  I thought ‘You are sure right.  We would be shouting Hallelujah!  The economy would be coming back or be back.  The incessant assault on the private sector, our civil and constitutional liberties would not be so prevalent.  We would be moving toward a smaller and more limited government if he had not done what he has done.’  So in that light the person that touted how Socialism is working in Germany and Denmark and other parts of the world can believe that if they choose but reality and history informs us that Socialism and Communism has not, does not, and will not work.  It works on paper not in reality!

             I don’t know about you but I’m tired of the exhausting parade of ‘smoke and mirror’ statistics and reports that keep coming.  Let’s stop playing games with numbers and face the fact that America is in trouble, deeply in debt, and in desperate need of putting the federal government on a fiscal diet and reducing its size.  We need a constitutional revival in this land and it can only come as WE THE PEOPLE exert our influence, make our voices heard, and fire the politicians who ignore us.

             God bless you and God bless America!

            Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College published an article in the Imprimis, December 2013, Volume 42, Number 12 entitled, “A Rebirth of Liberty and Learning” in which he describes the ‘Two Ways of Education and Two Ways of Governing.’  Both provide some incredibly timely and salient points that all Americans should read and allow to sink in for they describe why we are where we are and the dangers of being there.

             I want to focus on the ‘governing’ portion although the education portion gave me much to think about, something in the ‘governing’ part caused me to think about ‘what’ and ‘why’ politicians are doing what they are doing and how it is affecting America, Americans, and our Constitution.  There is truly a ‘method to their madness’ and it is so heinous that words are inadequate to describe.  What they are doing and why they are doing it, in my view, should cause every American who cares about Liberty & Freedom to immediately commit themselves to becoming involved in restoring our republic.  It will not, but should!

            Dr. Arnn so eloquently stated the contrast between the old constitutional way of governing and the new progressive, statist, liberal, oligarchical, and politically elite way.  One of the things he highlighted was how simple the laws used to be.  Bear in mind that a Law passed by Congress and signed into law by the President are laws that we are to be ‘governed’ by.  How can we obey or operate under laws that we do not understand and those charged with enforcing them cannot understand?  That is part of their objective!  They keep us in the dark and confused and they can manipulate the law and we the people according to their agenda, objective, and political ideology.  Ignorance is not bliss it is ignorance!

             When you consider that the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance, and the Constitution of the United States of America are all under 4,500 words in length compared to the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare which without the rules, regulations, etc. weighs in at 363,086 words.  This law, as Dr. Arnn states, is not a law but something much more sinister and the public, congress, the IRS, the bureaucrats, the insurance industry or the health care providers understand it.  HOW CAN YOU OPERATE UNDER IT?

            James Madison who is frequently identified as the ‘Father of the U.S. Constitution’ suggested in his Federalist Papers that the Constitution receives its authority from the principles of the Declaration of Independence.  That was the common view of his day and should be in ours but it is not in the minds of the Progressives, Liberals, Statist, and Political Elite. 

 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed…  That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”

            When you contrast that with the belief of the current President of the United States of America Barack H. Obama as revealed in his book of 2006, “The Audacity of Hope” it is startling.

“Implicit in [the Constitution’s] structure, in the very idea of ordered liberty, was a rejection of absolute truth, the infallibility of any idea or ideology or theology or ‘ism’, any tyrannical consistency that might lock future generations into a single, unalterable course…”

            I stand with Dr. Arnn in asking, “How did Barack Obama come to believe something so foreign to America’s heritage as that in the name of liberty we must reject absolute truths, which essentially include rejecting those truths included in the Declaration of Independence?”

            Their purpose is to ‘keep us in the dark’ so they can ‘manipulate’ us.  If the public becomes informed and is cognizant of what is really happening, understands the laws, rules, and regulations that are so voluminous from Washington THEY LOSE THEIR CONTROL.  They must keep us ‘ignorant’ or “uniformed” in order to practice their deception and move us closer and closer to a Tyrannical Despotic Government in which we are literally pawns and serfs of the government and subjected to the whims, whishes, and desires of the political elite or as they view themselves THE TRUE RULING CLASS and RIGHTFUL OVERSEERS.  I do not view them that way and neither should you.  The Constitutional form of Government that we have derives the authority to govern from those being governed and we have dramatically shifted from that to a government that does not listen and is not responsive to WE THE PEOPLE. 

             We MUST change that or we will soon have a republic in name only if we have that!   May God bless you and may God bless America!

            I have been thinking and embarked on a research project posed by the question: “Have we experienced a paradigm shift in society from morality to personality?”  I really do believe that the question is germane to the discussion and consideration of most everything we humans face and experience in today’s world.  If this has happened it has happened in the political, social, relational, economic, spiritual, and political worlds.  Are there any examples of it that we can hang our hats on?  Is there any evidence that suggests that such a shift has happened?  What exactly are we talking about in a ‘paradigm shift from morality to personality’?  I probably cannot answer all those questions yet and will not attempt to only identify some of what set me on this journey. 

             What caused me to ask this question and embrace this thought was my observation in the entertainment, sports, media, and  segments of our society the ‘cult-like’ following that Barack Obama has received.  That made me question our society on this front.  When people begin to adopt a ‘cult-like’ worship and following of a person or ideology they are absolutely unable to see the flaws of the individual or ideology and those kinks in the armor or argument become so inconsequential that they are ignored or dismissed.  Mr. Obama has been the beneficiary of that kind of following even when he advanced policies that are diametrically opposite of the belief of most in the Christian Faith, yet many who are followers of Christ follow Mr. Obama and support him unquestioningly.  I’ve observed preachers who stand by him even though his political ideology stands as an affront to what they preach and write about.  Yet, the ‘morality’ they call for in sermon and print takes a back seat to the ‘personality’ embodied in the president.  There can be any number of reasons including race for this phenomenon but it begs the question, “Have we had a paradigm shift from morality to personality?”

            Some have undertaken to examine this from the perspective of “Moral Hypocrisy” and “Moral Inconsistency” as an explanation of where we are and the condition of the human heart and thought.  They certainly have some valid arguments and we see a tremendous amount of both ‘moral hypocrisy and inconsistency’ in the political world today.  Most of us have heard or been told ‘practice what you preach’ and that has been the foundational definition for hypocrisy.  Most are put off when anyone ‘says one thing and does another’ or as the old saying, ‘do as I say not as I do’ we view that hypocritical and are correct.  Politicians are notorious for that and most dismiss it because we ‘expect’ politicians to be hypocritical when it comes to campaign promises.

             There was a time in our society when we not only expected but demanded that political figures, business leaders, and religious leaders be ‘consistent’ in their display of morality and were not swayed by the personality.  Today whether it is sports figures, movie stars, entertainers, or political figures we seem to be far less concerned about ‘morality’ than we are about ‘personality.’  Could that be a result of a paradigm shift in our society where ‘morality’ is of a lesser worth today than a charismatic personality that can be worshipped to some degree?

            I saw a study (I do not recall who did the study) that was done where a group of individuals were given the option of flipping a coin in order to make a decision upon assigning particular tasks to themselves or an unknown person.  It turned out that about half of the participants opted for the coin flip but when the results were tabulated 90% of those who flipped the coin reported that they received favorable tasks for themselves.  That was the same percentage as those who arbitrarily made the decision.  That is suggestive that those who opted for the coin flip but skewed the results were seeking to ‘appear fair’ but in reality were being hypocritical.  That is so true in the political world today that it is alarming.  Yet, because it seems that we have made a paradigm shift from morality to personality when the president or some other political figure opts for that ‘apparent fairness’ when fairness is not even part of the equation they receive ‘cult-like’ approval.  The personality rises far above the morality and the hypocrisy is totally ignored.

             If I am right and we have made a paradigm shift from morality to personality in our society we are in deep trouble as a people, a nation, and a world.  As a Christian this is deeply troubling to me because I see it not just in the political but in every facet of society including the Church.  I pray to God that I am wrong!

             May God be with you and may God bless America again!

            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!
