While Americans are complaining about the administration’s plan to control what they can and can’t eat, a record number already depend on the government to provide their food.  According to the latest figures, the number of American households on the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (translation: those receiving food stamps) is up to a record 40.8 million at a cost of over $72 billion a year.

This time last year, that number was 34 million households; and in less than a year the ratio has climbed from 1 in 9 families collecting food stamp benefits to greater than 1 in 8— with an average household of 2.61 people, that means a rise of over 17 million people in one year.  That’s more than the populations of Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, NY combined.

Factor in the 53 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits at a cost of $675 billion last year—running the Social Security program in the red for the first time in 30 years—and the $676 billion spend on Medicare & Medicaid, and nearly half our budget is spent on entitlement programs.

The crisis, however, doesn’t lie in how many are receiving benefits or even in how many qualify.  Rather, the problem is that the coming economic collapse is completely scripted, and the disproportionate effect in the black community is entirely deliberate.

In 2008, the last year for which the statistics are available, black families were shown to be three times more likely than any other race to collect food stamps.  Blacks currently have an unemployment rate that is 160% of that of whites, which hints toward a cause-effect relationship.  However, the unemployment numbers don’t quite explain the high participation in food stamps benefits.

The official number of unemployed persons is 14.6 million, and even if discouraged workers and the underemployed are included, that number rises only to 29 million.  Essentially what I am saying is that 12 million more people are getting funding than are currently unemployed OR underemployed. When you do the math, there appear to be about 106 million Americans getting SNAP funds, and 44 million of them are newbies!

Interesting statistics when you consider the passage of ObamaCare and Financial Reform, while Democrats itch to pass amnesty and Cap & Trade. Certainly these crises are not a coincidence.

Welcome to Saul Alinsky’s America!

Alinsky’s book Rules for Radicals has served as the blueprint for the dirty politics of the left for nearly half a century.  He wrote of the tremendous power to be harnessed in community organization, and how it could be used to bring about the end of capitalism.  His “rules” warn against over relying on ethics and instead guide that “in war the end justifies almost any means”, and “an organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent”.

The Obama administration and the rest of the Democratic Party have taken these rules to heart, and the war they wage is one against any American who stands in the way of our transition to becoming a European socialist state.

The astronomical amount of Americans dependent upon the government to sustain them serves as evidence that Alinsky tactics are working.  Blacks are encouraged to feel that the disproportionate dependency of our people on the government is a form of reparations.  At the same time, whites are told that the government doesn’t care about them, and that it’s more interested in using an affirmative action approach than to actually fixing the problem.  The people are first pitted against one another and then united against the government; then those in power are given free license to rebuild America in whatever image they see fit.

Many on the right have seen the similarities between the tactics suggested in Rules for Radicals and those used by the Obama administration as far back as the election cycle—such as the tendency to whitewash extremist views in neutral terms like “hope” and “change.”

However, proof positive that Alinsky’s model was being used was provided by Organizing for America, Obama’s permanent campaign group, in January of this year.  While recruiting at an Ohio high school, OFA listed Rules for Radicals as one of their “suggested readings.”

Alinsky’s tactics have already been given a test drive when the Cloward-Piven Strategy was used in New York in the 1960s.  Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven expanded upon Alinsky’s rules and provided an actual strategy for community organizers: overwhelming the welfare system.  They used race riots and other crises to spur populist feelings of entitlement, and in less than a decade they more than doubled the amount of single-parent households on welfare from 4.3 million to 10.8 million.

Obama has everything possible at his disposal for this plan to work on a national scale.  He’s admittedly spent his life working as a community organizer to help corrupt groups like SEIU and ACORN.  The mainstream media is dedicated to him like a battered wife, continuing to worship him and sing praises of his policies while their ratings nose-dive as a result.

Militant minority groups like La Raza and the NBPP threaten violence as retaliation for perceived injustices—and just as Alinsky predicted, the cowards and panderers in DC are eager to throw more entitlements at them to keep the peace.

There’s just one problem:  The Right sees it coming.  Americans see how the entitlement-based government model turned out for Europe and Americans don’t want it.  The Alinsky plan depends on keeping Americans angry and ignorant, and all the Democrats are getting in return is a double serving of the former.  Voter turnout this year is expected to be dominated by those who want a return to the free-market based small government that Rules for Radicals was supposed to help destroy.

The left better enjoy the statistics on government dependency while they can.  Because when we take America back this November and begin to revive the economy, the politicians who used Alinsky tactics against us will find themselves being force-fed a generous slice of humble pie.

Because Obama believes he has a mandate from the Guilters, we are treated to “All Obama All The Time” news, the only difference being that he warns us when something is really important, by telling us about it in advance. 

He seems to prefer Tuesdays, as this day preempts a highly rated prime time TV show like “So You Think You Can Dance,” and rightfully so!  For as we have learned with ObamaNation…nothing is more important than Obama.

And what revelation will Obama share with us this Tuesday?  Well, it’s a two-fer!  We will learn of Obama’s well thought out war strategy for the war in Afghanistan, and get the ancillary understanding of just how stupid General McChrystal’s strategy was for Afghanistan!

Shameless plug:  I spent 3 weeks traveling to help feed the CA farmers, and draw attention to their plight. The gov’t is allocating water (5%), and these people are losing everything.  So donate to the Tea Party Patriots to help these great Americans.  And consider buying my Amazon best-selling book The BIG Black Lie . Thanks!

Here is a tidbit, a sneak peak as it were on what we will learn as this AP story reports:

The White House says President Barack Obama is placing heavy emphasis on how the United States eventually will withdraw from Afghanistan even as he plans to announce a troop increase next week.

I can hardly wait to hear this.  Though I got the gist of it from the AP story, I know that Obama will fill in the details of why it has taken him weeks to conclude what General McChrystal concluded in mere moments.  I can only imagine the dizzying spin to which America will be treated.  No doubt Obama’s will explain that his delay was contemplative and deliberate, while McChystal of course…jumped to a conclusion!

AP goes on to report,

The president and his top military and national security advisers have held 10 meetings to discuss America’s future steps in Afghanistan. Though the top general in Afghanistan has asked the president for about 40,000 troops, military officials expect the president will deploy about 35,000, starting next year.

I love the play by play in this article, e.g. “…top military and national security advisers have held 10 meetings…”  Ten meetings!  As if the number of meetings is important.  What if it had only been eight meetings, then what? And I’m sure these were very transparent meetings…for Al Jazeera! 

Finally, last time I checked McChrystal is the top military and national security adviser.

It irks me that Obama is always looking for an “exit strategy!”  It confirms for me that Obama doesn’t know how to win anything…except elections.  So here’s a thought on strategy, Barack:  WIN THE WAR!  That makes the exit strategy so much simpler, and a lot cleaner than the “tail between your legs” strategy that you will likely employ!

As for the staging of this “All Obama All The Time” press conference at West Point, only kool-aid drinking Liberals would miss the symbolism!  The most inept “Commander in Chief” appearing at West Point, one of America’s most hallowed military institutions—and an institution that Obama is more than willing to tear down, happy to do so in fact!

Like his racism, Obama admitted to his disdain of America’s military during his campaign, as he believes they are butchers, imposing America’s imperialist and capitalist views willy-nilly around the world.  Remember that as with all things Bush, Obama “inherited this mess”–that includes the US military.

Nevertheless, don’t be surprised if Obama’s staff wrangles to get him an honorary degree!  And why not?!  Obama came to essentially the same conclusion that proven military strategist and 4-star General McChrystal concluded…only Obama’s strategy is better!  If only McChrystal had come to the conclusion to use only 35,000 troops, instead of the 40,000l! How stupid was that?!!  One can easily see that Obama is much more contemplative and definitive in his conclusion, than McChrystal!

Here’s the wrap:

I suggest that when Obama needs to make a tough decision quickly, he ask himself, “What would Bush do?” 

Obama said weeks ago, that he did not want to put more troops in harm’s way. Ironically in the meantime, troops were already in harm’s way.  And in the end, Obama decided to go with McChrystal’s decision…to put more troops in harm’s way.  The only change is Obama wants an exit strategy…oh and to put out the fire that he has created with his lunatic base. 

The Left is mad as hell that Obama is fighting two wars abroad, their anger tempered only by the two wars being fought on the home front: The War on Achievement and The War on Capitalism.

Regardless of how we feel, America will be graced with Obama on Tuesday, during prime time.  We again will be treated to watching who Liberals say is “the smartest man in the room,” the man who brought “sexy thinking” to the White House.  Let’s just hope Mr.  Sexy Thinker doesn’t have to make any snap decisions, as they appear to be above his pay grade.

That’s my rant!

Apparently the group-think in “Lower Ed” is less monolithic than we may have been told, as two Columbia professors recently came to blows at a NY City bar.  It was actually  came to “blow,” since only one person was actually hit—the white female professor, Camille Davis, and by black male professor Lionel “Boom Boom” McIntyre.  Chivalry is dead for Liberals…killed by “the race card!”

In a scene reminiscent of a made for TV Hollywood production titled “Nicole, You Still My Biotch,” architect professor Lionel McIntyre went “OJ” on Davis and another white co-worker.  Thankfully, the two white folks survived in this little melodrama, unlike the true OJ story.

The disagreement was over race issues, the trio apparently disagreeing over the amount of reparations needed to be repaid to McIntyre at the bar where they were drinking.  Translated:  McIntyre wondered aloud, “Which one of you oppressive white folks is going to pick up my bar tab, damn it?!”  The fight was on like Donkey Kong!

Here is how the NY Post put it:

 ”He knocked the glasses right off my face,” said the man, who would only give his first name as “Shannon.” “The punch came out of nowhere. Mac was talking to us about white privilege and what I was doing about it — apparently I wasn’t doing enough.”

 Davis would not be quite so lucky, taking one right in the eye!  Nevertheless, as we learned through the incident with Harvard Professor Gates, when it comes to black Ivy League elitists, it’s not their fault.  McIntyre is no exception. 

First, he is black, and thus incapable of racism.  Next, McIntyre is a professor at an Ivy League university, and thus above any scrutiny of his actions.  Finally, McIntyre was merely imposing university policy, as documented in this memo I received from one of The Black Sphere inside operatives at Columbia:

From Columbia University Department of Human Resources Employee Handbook, Chapter – Policing of SocioPolitical Dogma: 

“If a fellow professor is said to have an opinion contrary to the insane Liberal policies of this institution, it is the duty of the witnessing professor to punch once squarely in the mouth (or eye)  the offending professor.  If the offending professor continues to spew Conservative rhetoric, notify university security immediately for backup…do not try to debate them without the potential use of force.” – Chancellor of Columbia University, with permission from Barack Hussein Obama.

I know what you’re thinking.  A Conservative hiding out at Columbia?  My bet is that Davis is a “white guilter”—a Liberal who believes that by voting for the black man, she had corrected the years of slavery and oppression that NO living white people have done to NO living black people.  She is one of those Liberals who believe they are helping some endangered species, a whale, a baby seal, a spotted owl…or disenfranchised black people.

Davis figured out that she voted wrong, and the liquor was the liquid courage she needed to expose her closeted Conservative views—in vino veritas—which enraged McIntyre.  He lashed out like Rosie O’Donnell defending a snicker’s bar.

Regardless of what was said, Davis and “Shannon” discovered that there is no quarter in talking about politics with a black professor, particularly when you are not willing to admit to “white guilt.”  And if McIntyre were a Republican, he would have been right to smack Davis around, given that she is likely a Democrat, closeted Conservative though she may be.

After all, from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, McIntyre worked in civil rights and labor organizing in the deep South.  He would certainly know of the devastation of the Democrat Party to blacks, much like what I documented in my book [shameless plug] The BIG Black Lie [Amazon Best-Seller, and 5-star rated!].

Here’s the wrap:

McIntyre was upset that with the oppression in America has not allowed him to achieve in life.  He is still looking for his 40 acres and a mule, and if he can’t get that, then please assign him the white person who is to do his bidding…his Jeeves.

Jeeves would wake him up to inspirational quips, and run interference against ‘whitey’ for him.  And if McIntyre did indeed encounter racism, Jeeves would be there to defend McIntyre, the lowly Negro, from the onslaught of America’s oppression.  Jeeves would know that black people cannot achieve anything in America, unless white people are involved or the “gubment.”  That’s all that McIntyre was trying to say…by putting his fists upside Davis’ head!

We may never know the whole story.  But one thing we do know is there is a crisis in academia!  And a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.  This crisis is certainly in need of presidential interference by Obama, and I am anxious for another Beerfest. The country could use the distraction.

If you like what I do, consider my book The BIG Black Lie, an Amazon Best Seller!  It’s the only 5-star political book on the Best Seller list!

For the Liberals who voted for Obama thinking he could influence the world, you just got publicly punked by the IOC.  They showed what the sane among us already knew, and that is Obama is not the god the Liberals all believe him to be. If you still believe he is a god, then I contend he is as ineffectual as a god, as he is a president.

In a move you would think was choreographed by the vast right-wing conspiracy—if it existed—Obama and Team Chicago couldn’t even get past the first round in consideration for the Olympics!  There were cities that didn’t spend a dime pursuing the Olympics and finished right where Chicago did. 

When I saw how Chicago reacted to this loss, the abject disappointment, as it was announced that they were the #1 loser, I thought to myself, “This is one big event too late.”  This is what they were supposed to feel like when Obama lost the nomination as the Liberals’ candidate for POTUS.  Didn’t happen.  So when Team Obama lost this for Chicago, I felt like white people did when OJ recently convicted—“We finally got him!”

You would think that with all the “Os” in attendance, Chicago would have been a foregone conclusion to host the 2016 Olympics—just in time for Obama’s 3^rd term in office. If I was a god, that’s how I would have scripted it.  But it was not to be…because Obama is no god!

How do you spin getting such a beatdown?  Burris is blaming Bush!  After all, Obama “inherited this mess!” This might have worked if Obama hadn’t made ten apology tours!  Notwithstanding, we were told that the mere election of Obama was enough for the world to love us. 

Obama talking heads are saying that Obama was in Copenhagen as a stopover for his trip to Afghanistan!  It all sounds pretty ridiculous.  There isn’t enough spin to spin your way out of this public flogging of Team Obama.

Chicago sent its most famous mulatto son, Barack, its most famous black daughter, Oprah, and its most famous black militant, Michelle to represent them in this bid.  In the eyes of Liberal America and supposedly the world, it just doesn’t get any bigger than that.  The Unholy Trinity!  They represented the best of the best Liberals of Chicago.  Chicago could have saved themselves a lot of embarrassment and money just sending three gang bangers on vacation to Copenhagen to represent Chicago.  It would have been just as representative and had the same outcome.

Ironically, the Liberals who want “everybody to get a trophy” learned a hard lesson: There is a loser and Obama is it. I got a chance to interview the Mayor of Rio, and he simply said to me, “I won!” Touché!

There was one Liberal who had a great day as Obama’s failures were illuminated, and that is Hillary Clinton. She was actually giddy the day Chicago died, because she got a “two-fer.”  Hillary got to actually play president that day, discussing Afghanistan and Pakistan, while Obama played marbles in Copenhagen.  Hillary felt rather presidential, while Obama looked much like the neophyte that he is.  Clinton chuckled as she watched Obama navigate the mine field.  It’s safe to say that he blew off a leg this week!  Clinton’s happiness over recent developments in the Obama camp is exceeded only by the ineffective Michael Steele’s. Obama is making things easy for both of them. 

Here’s the wrap:

The idea that a sitting president would find it necessary to make the Olympics an issue, dare I say a “crisis,” just shows you the level of desperation Obama has for avoiding the real issues plaguing America.  But with the distraction of this major issue of getting the Olympics for Chicago out of the way, what is a “play-president” to do?  He will likely appoint a Distraction Czar!

Perhaps the Distraction Czar will have Obama weigh in on the Letterman crisis, maybe set up another BeefFest?  The Letterman Controversy certainly supersedes things like the rising unemployment rate, now almost 10%–a ratio the stimulus package was supposed to prevent.  To quote Obama, “That’s what a stimulus does!”  There is also that backburner Iranian nuclear issue.  Obama sees Iran as “little!”  “Little” like Bruce Lee, unfortunately.  And finally, there is the butt-kicking the US is getting in Afghanistan—the war the Liberals said was worth fighting. It appears to be worth fighting, just not be worth winning?

As Obama said of ACORN, “[sic] These are not things I follow closely.”

The good thing is the real God can manage all these things.  It appears God has a sense of humor, as He delivers Chuck Norris roundhouses to Obama well-earred noggin.  Maybe this was God’s plan for America—to get them to remember who is really in charge.

That’s my rant!

“You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain’t gonna need no third set, ’cause you gonna get your mind right.”

If that is not a great reference to ObamaCare, then I just don’t know what is. Hopefully we are able to get Obama’s mind right?

Obama reminds me of the main character Luke Jackson played by Paul Newman. Luke is a rebel bringing “hope and change” to the prison chain gang. Luke, like Obama, just doesn’t know when to give up, like when Luke wrankles the prison’s toughest inmate, Dragline, portrayed by George Kennedy.

The two inmates battle it out in the prison yard, in what is not much of a fight. Dragline beats the crap out of Luke, knocking him down repeatedly.

Dragline: Stay down. You’re beat.

Luke: You’re gonna hafta kill me…
[struggles back to his feet]

The scene repeats until finally Dragline just walks away, tired of beating a senseless Luke. How many times does healthcare need to be defeated for Obama to understand that he’s beaten? Perhaps he expect us to just walk away?

The main backdrop of the movie is Luke’s need to change the status quo. He is in prison, however he doesn’t want what prison represents for prisoners—normality. For Obama the normality of America, our traditions and ideals need to be changed. He has his vision of America, that he feels supersedes what America has represented until now.

For Luke this means escape. Despite the Captain’s warning, he does just that. He is quickly caught, and life in the camp begins anew, just more difficult for Luke.

Boss Paul: That ditch is Boss Kean’s ditch. And I told him that dirt in it’s your dirt. What’s your dirt doin’ in his ditch?

Luke: I don’t know, Boss.

Boss Paul: You better get in there and get it out, boy.

Obama has to be feeling much the same. His job approval ratings dropping, so he gains more resolve. But the job just keeps getting tougher. At this rate, Obama will need a backhoe to get all his dirt out of Boss’ hole.

If you wonder sometimes how Obama comes up with his policies, then this scene where Luke eats fifty hard boiled eggs may explain it best:

Dragline: Why you got to go and say fifty eggs for? Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine?

Luke: I thought it was a nice round number.

Obama, like Luke seems to create fires where there are none. I believe this is based on his idea that being busy equates to accomplishing something. This might explain why as state and US Senator, Obama sponsored or co-sponsored over 1600 pieces of legislation and passed less than five.

Luke toes the line for a little while, but eventually the urge to escape hits him and he’s off again. He sends pictures of himself having a blast, and the inmates live vicariously through him. Luke is ultimately recaptured. He realizes his fate; that he will be in that prison camp for the rest of his life.

The inmates crowd around their champion, waiting, wondering, wanting. They ask Luke about the picture he sent with the girl, and Luke reveals that the picture was a fake. The inmates don’t want to believe it. They need to believe in Luke. They continue pestering him, wanting Luke to “say it ain’t so.” Luke becomes fed up, finally saying:

Luke: Oh come on. Stop beatin’ it. Get out there yourself. Stop feedin’ off me. Get out of here. I can’t breathe. Give me some air.

Here’s the wrap:

If you want to capture the core of the Obama administration, recall the scene where Luke wins a game of poker in a bluff:

Dragline: Nothin’. A handful of nothin’. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin’. Just like today when he kept comin’ back at me – with nothin’.

Luke: Yeah, well, sometimes nothin’ can be a real cool hand.

Though an engaging character, in the end Luke brought nothing new to the prison, except empty dreams. No real hope and change, just the vision of such that each prisoner needed. A brief break from the push and the shove of regular life.

Obama might be one Cool Hand Luke…

That’s my rant!

“…won’t be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately…” or “I happen to be a proponent of single-payer healthcare coverage. That’s what I’d like to see.”

Who are you going to believe, Obama or your lyin’ eyes?!

If you do believe your lyin’ eyes and are voicing your concerns, then you are an extremist, who is now part of a mob…a mobster!

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), the swastika-wearing mobsters are financed by the insurance industry! The new “boogeyman of the moment.” I verified that “Racism” is on vacation this week, thus unavailable to be the boogeyman.

The financing from insurance companies is paying off, because mobsters are donning Brooks Brothers at these protests. In fact, the mobsters are so well-dressed that they garnered the attention of Barbara Boxer. Boxer apparently is not used to mobsters in her hood being so dapper, and dare this Negro say…so uppity.

Mobs looking like working middle-class Americans?! Outrageous! Couldn’t the insurance company executives hire mobsters that look like the Democrats’ shills–scurrilous and unkempt, the true unwashed?! Apparently not, as ACORN was already under an exclusive contract with the DNC. So those ruthless insurance execs were forced to get middle-class Americans led mostly by conservatives! The good news is that under Obama there were many conservative middle-class Americans available due to massive job losses created by his policies.

You didn’t hear it here, but I learned that without making a single phone call or paying a single dime, those insurance executive devils got those conservative idiots to protest for FREE! Recall how sneaky they were in getting billions of dollars from the Democrats when ObamaNation came on the scene to deal with the financial and insurance “crises.” Those insurance execs are GOOOOOD!

Still, why all the consternation by mobsters about the government providing healthcare? Healthcare reform is FOR the people! It is part of what a socialist government does—provide for the people. The small, elite few providing for the minions, the masses, the mobsters! Is there a reason for concern by the mobsters?

According to the 2009 Social Security and Medicare Trustees Report, in 2016Social Security will begin paying out more than it takes in. I will publicly test my psychic abilities and predict that in order to address the social security shortfall, the Democrats will…raise the minimum age when people can begin collecting social security!

Not convinced that I have “the gift?” Ok, here’s is another prediction that I am sure will convince you of my paranormal prowess. I predict that along with rasing the minimum age you can begin receiving social security benefits, the government will also raise the social security tax! Note that there is no mandated cap on either of these two variables. Surprise!

As you can see the government has a fix for social security, so maybe the mobsters are concerned by what is happening in another government run program, this one directly related to healthcare—Medicare. AARP references this report from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette:

“WASHINGTON — The financial future of the Social Security and Medicare programs continues to deteriorate, with both headed for insolvency sooner than previously projected, according to a report released Tuesday..”

The recession is speeding up the timetable under which each program would run out of money…for Medicare, the bank account will be empty in just eight years

So what Medicare is technically broke? As Biden said, [pp] “Let’s just spend our way out of debt!” The mobsters are just alarmists, stirring up trouble at these Townhalls, because the government always finds a way. Medical service is as dependable as the US mail. Really?!

Then it will come as no surprise to any of us the fate befalling the USPS, as reported by Reuters:

“WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. Postal Service reported a quarterly net loss of $2.4 billion on Wednesday, blaming the recession for a drop in mail volume and saying it may need to cut mail delivery to five days a week from six..”

The agency, which delivers nearly half the world’s mail, said it could face a year-end cash shortfall of up to $700 million despite aggressive actions to cut costs.

It has reported net losses in 11 of the last 12 quarters.

Mail volume dropped 14.3 percent to 41.6 billion pieces in the fiscal third quarter to June 30 compared with a year earlier.

The agency has struggled with falling mail volumes for years due to the increased use of email and competition from Fedex (FDX.N), United Parcel Service (UPS.N) and other delivery services

Here’s the wrap:

The post office’s solution to deal with the shortfall…cut back services. No sense evaluting the business. It’s only taxpayer money, i.e. plenty more where that came from. With this government business logic, let’s just deliver mail once day a week. I bet profits will rise sharply.

And while we are at it, let’s just raise the minimum social security age to 80. I bet that will stretch out the “date of demise” for at least another decade! Isn’t that what it’s about. Putting the problem further and further into the future, until our great-great grand children have NO chance at the American Dream?

The government runs no program efficiently and even fewer effectively. Nationalizing healthcare is about controlling a huge amount of money. Healthcare is another manipulatable system, and one where the government will have even more power over life and death.

The mobsters are protesting government wanting to spend trillions of our dollars on yet another boondoggle. Oh, and we don’t like having to get sick only during the week, before 3P, and not on weekends.

That’s my rant!

If you like what I do, then support this blog by getting others here, and by investing in my book The BIG Black Lie. The reviews are on Amazon, and I promise that if you enjoy my blog, you will LOVE the book.

At a recent gathering, Lloyd Smith, Executive Director of the GOP for the state of Missouri informed the crowd that the Obama team targeted red states in an unprecedented media and new media campaign. They were efficient and effective, so much so that they won every state that they targeted…except Missouri.

Recent national media coverage by Fox News of Missouri might explain why Missouri was able to withstand the onslaught of the Obama machine in 2008. It seems that Missourians are plugged in, as exampled by their taking Congressman Russ Carnahan to task at his recent Townhall Meeting. Carnahan’s overwhelming support [has voted 100% with Obama] of Obama’s policies, specifically policies on socialized healthcare and Cap and Trade are viewed in Missouri as the government’s blatant disregarding of the people. Carnahan’s Townhall was not to explore both sides of the issue as claimed, but simply to try to convince the people to accept the decision that he had made for us. Needless to say, what Carnahan thought would be a cake walk, turned into a food fight!

Senator Claire McCaskill has had similar misadventures for much the same reasons as Carnahan. McCaskill offers little more than an echo chamber of Obama policy initiatives. The Democrats have become so confident in Missouri that in a recent peaceful protest, McCaskill’s office called the police on law-abiding citizens, exercising their rights to showcase their views to McCaskill.

The protest was a desperation move on the part of Missouri conservative citizens, because up to that point McCaskill had refused to respond to phone calls, a petition with 10,000 signatures from SOS Ballot, email, or any other potential method of communication with her bosses…us!

The matter received so much national attention—negative press—that McCaskill had another meeting at her office. This was meant to be a show of force by the other side of the issue and was completely staged—prefab signs and paid shills. The event did not achieve what McCaskill had hope for.

Unable to gain the political upper hand from the staged event, McCaskill organized a third Townhall discussion. This time Democrat operatives sent out communiqués asking their supporters to attend. As they say, “McCaskill called for a Townhall meeting, and a Tea Party broke out!”

The very same Tea Parties that Obama said on Good Morning America that he, “didn’t know were happening,” Tea Parties that people like Janeane Garofalo claims are racist. These Tea Parties are starting to show their real effect on the American political system. Democrat strategists are no longer mocking the Tea Party movement, but are now trying to mobilize against it.

Apparently the budget cuts are hitting the DNC hard, as Tea Baggers typically outnumber even paid shills geometrically at these events. The Tea Baggers are not intimidated and are speaking out. Tea Party opponents are seeing people who look and act like them. There is no racial strife at these events, and I have yet to see one person I would define as an elitist. The Tea Baggers are just “Average Joe’s” who are speaking with passion on the things that affect their lives and the lives of their children. And their individual, uncontrived messages are resonating with the Left at these events.

Make no mistake about it, the Tea Party movement has the Left very concerned. Panicked is a likely better description. The Left tried downplaying Tea Parties at first, pretending that the Tea Party movement didn’t exist. They figured the Tea Parties would just fizzle like all things conservative. A few large events, followed by silence and inactivity. The Left figured the double entendre of “tea bagging” would be a negative, and the term “Tea Party” would fade from our lexicon. Eventually we would all go back to our mansions, jets, yachts, cushy jobs, neglecting our children—that’s what nannies are for. Ahhh, the life of the average Tea Bagger!

“Tea Baggers” have lost many of those 3.7M jobs lost since January. Many are feeling the impact of a $3.6T “stimulus” that has been anything but stimulating. We are seeing our money being spent on union bailouts and redistributed to many who simply don’t deserve it.

When St. Louis Tea Party movement organizers Dana Loesch and Bill Hennessey started this, they wanted a movement that would become grass roots, and remain entrenched at the local level. The warning to all bureaucrats was to be, “You work for us!” The larger events have spawned many smaller Tea Parties each weekend in and around St. Louis. Tea Bagger are from organizations like Americans for Prosperity, iheardthepeoplesay, Americans for Fair Taxation and many others, all uniting to say, “Enough already! Everything is not a crisis. Read the bills!”

Here’s the wrap:

Missouri is proving that “numbers do matter!” And the number of concerned citizens showing up to these Townhall meetings is rattling Missouri politicians, like McCaskill and Carnahan. This has spread around the country! Democrats supporting socialized medicine are cancelling Townhall meetings, because they can’t stand the heat. Here are a few examples:

NY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi-erv1O2sU (hat tip: Ray Walker)
Texas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-gTJqU7VoU (hat tip: WND.com)
Minnesota: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8VU_dS_3OU (hat tip: WND.com)

Politicians (in this case mainly Democrats) are used to people just staying home cursing at the TV, doing nothing. Not this time, however. It’s cool to be a Tea Bagger.  And it looks like the rest of the country is following the lead of Missouri, the one lone Republican stronghold in 2008.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, people in America are doing their “ups”: Getting UP, showing UP, and following UP! They are saying to politicians like Carnahan and McCaskill, “Step in to my office…because you’re FIRED!”

That’s my rant!

The White House BeerFest is over and the “teachable moment” has ended. I’m curious as to exactly what America was actually taught?

In what was sold as the most transparent administration in the modern era, Obama’s teachable moment had a “gag order.”  The conversation sealed until the next millennia, or some unspecified time when Amerika can be graced with Obama’s “words.”  Perhaps the people of the year 3000 will get to hear this profound audio, and know how to deal with race issues, issues created when a puppet dictator decides to weigh in on issues “above his pay grade.”  Until then, the rest of us will have to just rely on common sense and know that smart presidents simply ignore the non-event of cops doing their jobs.

“This meeting made possible by the stupidity of the Harvard elitists—Great minds ruined by Higher Education!” – The Black Sphere

Because of Obama’s meddling, BeerFest was held on the White House lawn, where America was treated—in video, sans audio— to Obama attempting to look like the Average Joe. In fact, in an effort to achieve “balance,” “Below Average” Joe Biden was present.  Three elitist versus one cop…the elitists were grossly understaffed!

As for Biden’s presence, well it certainly explains the gag order.  Joe says the darndest things sober! So imagine what the first black Vice President would have said in an alcohol induced stupor?

“The President got unclean on this deal. Barack screwed the pooch!  I don’t think he has a Chinaman’s chance to get out of this one. I mean the jig is up!  He Jap-slapped himself on this deal!  I’m getting hungry here. Can somebody find us a Mexican to make a run to Taco Bell or an Indian to make a donut run? What…what’d I say?!”

From what we were told, there were no apologies issued by either side.  Obama said little, as he was on his Blackberry changing the internet reporting of the incident. Black Harvard professors would never admit to being wrong, despite eye-witness reports of Gate’s bombastic behavior.  Crowley had nothing to apologize for, evident by his mere presence at the White House.  Black racists like Obama don’t invite you to the show, unless there is something to be gained for them. 

Watching the video of Beer-A-Palooza was difficult for me, as I felt sympathy for Crowley.  It was like he was invited to watch the Superbowl with Jimmy Johnson, and found himself at a Harvard lecture on

“Racism in the New Millenium and Its Impact on the Dichotomy of the American Psyche in the 21^st Century and the Political Ramifications of Bi-Racial Pontification – A Teachable Moment” – Professor Barack Hussein Obama, Harvard J.D.

More like a Twilight Zone moment, where Crowley enters the scene, and Obama, Biden, and Gates are discussing Nietzsche, who said:

“All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.” Well said, Nietzsche!

Here’s the wrap:

Obama wants this story to go away.  This situation exposes Obama’s stupidity on many levels. 

He chimed in on a situation where truly smart people would have simply said, “I’m not sure, but I trust the justice system will handle things appropriately.”  But Obama didn’t, because he saw this as a “teachable moment.”  He would teach America how whites have oppressed black people, and the role cops play by racial profiling and abusing their power.

There was that silly 911 tape, and eye-witnesses. Then the annoying BIG union of Boys in Blue, who don’t like it when they do their jobs, and are criticize for it. Finally, Obama is finding the hypnotic effect of his words wearing off.

As for lesson learned, I’d say Crowley learned that being waterboarded would be more fun than attending a beer bash with two racist Harvard elitists and a “Below Average” Joe.

That’s my rant!

Race pimps like Obama believe that the race card should be used at every opportunity.  It is necessary to remind America just how cruel America has been to blacks—and always will be according to liberals—regardless of the subject matter.

Thus, a discussion of healthcare begs to segue into a discussion of race, particularly when a white Cambridge cop oppresses a black Harvard elite.  As Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste…”  And for the Democrats, blaming Republicans for racism is the most serious of potential crises—they can’t possibly let the real truth of the Democrats’ racism leak out.  That would be a crisis of monumental proportions!

In less than six months, Obama has advanced the discussion of race back to the 1950’s. For the historical purist you may find our time reminiscent of when Democrats were oppressing blacks unfettered, only this time it’s all inclusive—it includes anybody who dares go against the liberal establishment.  At this pace, racial “devolution will regress back to the Wilson era and Democrats were calling themselves Progressives!

Another reason to make a routine 911 call about a house invasion into a full-blown racial conflagration is Obama saw the Gates incident as an opportunity to regain some of the emotion that he has been losing in the black community. Nothing rallies blacks more than an attack on whites.  An attack on the “establishment,” which in this case was a “racist cop,” well this is second only to attacking rich, white Republican men…or Sarah Palin. Everybody just trying to keep a Martha’s Vineyard vacationing, highly-compensated race-baiting Harvard professor down.  What an example Gates offered for Obama to show black people (and white meddling Democrats) that racism is still alive and well, and that police are one of the chief instigators. It should be evident to us all that Gates obviously had NO chance to succeed in life, because of the oppression of white police officers and “the man.”

The good news is that Obama is finding that like Alford proved to Barbara Boxer, conservatives are fed up with the discussion always being waged in order to demonize us. Conservatives are slowly awakening to understand that there is such a thing as reverse racism.  In the Gates case, the facts are proving that the police officer was the victim and Gates was indeed the perpetrator. 

Realizing this, Obama and the complicit media have now shifted the arguments to racial profiling and abuse of power.  I agree…Gates did both!  The reason the argument has morphed is the case on its merits reeks of nothing more than Democrat elitism.  The new strategy is to deflect, then attack. 

So there is a new change in our lexicon.  Now neighbors seeing two black men “jimmying” another neighbor’s home is defined as “profiling.”   Normal people just consider “black,” as adjectives to describe the potential perpetrators of the potential crime. After all, it wasn’t two Asian men jimmying the door, in what appeared to be a home invasion. It was supposedly “two black men” attempting to get into a home.  Lo and behold, that exactly what it was! 

What of the discussion of “being vigilant and good neighbors?” I’d say this neighbor was a good Samaritan who was aiding the Cambridge police, and helping his neighbor.  That neighbor was saying to potential crooks targeting that neighborhood, “Stay out, because our neighborhood watch is on guard.” 

Here’s the wrap:

There is no potential crisis in a discussion around “good citizenship.”  But there is a potential crisis in exposing the Democrats’ dirty little secret.   Despite the fact that America has elected a black man to the highest office in the land, and what has at least in the past been the most powerful office in the world, Obama still wants blacks to feel inferior.

In an effort to put the genie back in the bottle, Obama has invited the police officer and Gates to “have a beer” at the White House.   Broker peace to the firestorm of his own creation.  More like Obama is still searching for his way out of the rat hole.

Now you may be thinking that “…racism is not a big deal, Kev, and it’s a stretch to say that the Democrats are afraid of race being put back on them.”  To you I say, Obama could be dealing with Korean missiles, Iranian nuclear facilities, the economy, or a host of other more pressing issues.  Instead he is trying to spin this discussion from black, racist, Harvard elitist’s attempt to intimidate a white police officer, to a discussion of racial profiling and abuse of power—the cop’s potential issues.

You won’t see this discussion be about racism or Gates’ attempt to ruin the career of an officer doing his job by pulling the race card.  There will be no discussion of how black Ivy League elites have replaced the white bourgeois of the 1950’s, and how society plans on dealing with them.

Finally, shouldn’t the president have better things to do, than to broker a beerfest over something like this? Sure…if this wasn’t a potential crisis! And the crisis is Democrats don’t want America to explore their racism…past and present!

That’s my rant!

Obama promises that healthcare won’t cost America anything. Apparently he plans on sending the bill to everybody earning over $1M. Those un-American overachievers!

The War on Achievement continues, and Obama—the man who has worked for nothing in his life—is hell bent on punishing those who do actually work for a living. The calculations are in, and Obama could take ALL the money from the top 2% of the population and he would come nowhere near paying for healthcare. Just like a Democrat to not let logic interfere with his reasoning.

Ultimately healthcare costs will filter down into everyday “Joe America,” yet Obama continues to campaign for this poison pill. Yes people, Obama sees this as yet another campaign. Most politicians would just chalk this up to being a stupid idea and run! That’s just not Obama’s style. He will massage the language, hit the airwaves, strong-arm in private meetings, and he does have his house pets to help: The lamestream media.

One of the most ironic and insane parts of this healthcare sledgehammer is that Obama wants to cover 12M illegal immigrants. Only in Amerika! Try getting healthcare as an illegal immigrant in all the countries where socialized medicine exists. And if for some reason you were to accomplish the impossible…try USING your new healthcare insurance.

Obama can provide all the healthcare insurance coverage he wants. Since we are living in the land of make-believe, why not cover ALL American’s…100%? The fact remains that getting access to healthcare will be a nightmare. Check out the Pajamas Media video hosted by Steven Crowder on Canada’s healthcare system. It’s 20 minutes you won’t want to miss.

Have you ever gone to the gas station that offers $1 a gallon gas for a couple of hours? You go, and find cars are lined up for blocks. You wait only to arrive to the pump and find that they’re out of gas! At least it only cost you three gallons of gas to find out! Such is the ObamaCare’s slogan: Hurry up and wait…for nothing!

And old people and very sick people beware. ObamaCare is your death warrant. The lamestream media will tell you that Republicans and conservatives are just being alarmists, trying to scare you. Don’t believe us, just watch what Obama himself says. He says essentially that if you are too old or too sick, the Fed will offer you counseling, recommend hospice, then say good-bye in Austrian. For those who don’t speak Austrian, allow me to translate: “If you are too old or too sick on ObamaCare, bend over and kiss your butt good-bye!”

The reason Democrats helping to pimp this plan to America don’t want to “opt in” on this utopia is…they know how it will work! Or NOT work! That is why Russ Carnahan at his recent Townhall meeting refused to answer my question on the subject.

The mandated government plan would make it illegal to pursue healthcare off the system. Congressmen don’t want to be showcased on undercover videos skulking for the best healthcare.

Here’s the wrap:

The system is good enough for us, but elitist Democrats don’t want it for themselves. The Democrats could care less about taxpaying Americans, and they have a thugocracy that shouts from the mountaintop, “We are your rulers and you will obey!”

Obama is governing “to” us, not “for” us. He is an autocrat who believes he has all the answers. His answers can be summed up by reading any Communist manifesto. The change he promised for America has Obama redefining America.

Terrorism has been downgraded to a misdemeanor and is now called man-made disaster. $3.6T of spending that creates 9.5% unemployment, 3.5M jobs lost since January, bankruptcy of the “industry that is too big to fail” [auto-industry], and a stock market that is down 40% is all defined as “stimulus!” Military men and women, and law-abiding, taxpaying citizens are now considered extremists.

As I said earlier, Obama promised that healthcare won’t cost America anything. I guess people earning over $1M are not part of America? If so, we have apparently redefined the term “illegals.” The good news for the new illegals is they will be covered under ObamaCare. The better news is these illegals will be paying their own way!

That’s my rant!
