Congressman Trey Gowdy hotly contests the Obama administration’s lies after the siege of the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya and the murder of U.S. Ambassador Stevens and three others.
“In Fact!” “Concrete evidence!”
Is Congress, the People’s Elected Representatives, being bypassed by the Obama administration? You better believe it.

Check out the artist’s website A.F. Branco Political Cartoons.
If you want to be in the know for 2013 check out Legal Insurrection.
If you want to know what is happening on college campuses check out the unequaled website College Insurrection (CI).
At CI you will read Friday Dec. 28th’s post Howard Zinn – The Historian Liberals Love:
“Mary Grabar of Minding The Campus explains why…
The left cannot get enough of the late Howard Zinn. The radical professor’s A People’s History of the United States consistently holds a place in the top 15 of the 100 bestselling political books on Amazon‘s “blue,” liberal side. The million mark in sales has long been passed, an outstanding figure for a work of history. This despite the fact that his “People’s History” is an unrelievedly hostile take on the nation’s past.
And see my post on the radical Zinn’s myopic People’s History: History as Cynicism.

High On the Hog
Friday: I’m sitting at my desk minding my own business. The person who does the electronic file work for all of our projects stops by to talk to the guy in the next cube. The boisterous blather begins.
Ms. CEM (College Educated Moron) is from Michigan. She starts talking about Detroit being absorbed into the black hole of oblivion (self-destruction really). Then somehow the subject is changed onto public schools: “I don’t like charter schools.” The guy in the next cube can barely get a word in: “I like charter schools…” Ms. CEM takes a deep breath and throws her head back: “Well, I like public schools. I’m an advocate for good education. Good schools make good adults. I don’t have kids and I don’t want kids. It takes a village to raise a child.”
Ms. CEM is thirty years old, a Michigan State grad in Art history and easily twice my size. She sits directly on the other side of my cube where she spends her time talking about food and specifically, BACON. All day long. She eats cup cakes with bacon-infused frosting and bacon innards! She talks up food… all… day… long. And when she is not talking about food and gourmet restaurants and craft beers she is sighing heavily as if the weight of the village is being put on her again and again. This must be. She voted for the Obama village twice. I am as sure of this as I am that she will have some sort of bacon varietal for lunch. Lard Almighty!
I could see where Ms. CEM having kids would detract from a life of complete and utter self-indulgence. And why not self-indulge? Obama offered the Promised Baconland. (But Bottom-of-the-Barrel Detroit is what she’ll get.)
Besides, kids are a distraction. Better to ship them off like hogs and have them processed… into… bacon for those who union villagers who live off the fat of the land.
I didn’t jump in and tell her that had we home schooled two of our kids and that charter schools are the best hope for kids in one of the worst school systems in the US, the Chicago Public Schools. I also didn’t mention that Chicago will self-destruct like Detroit and that the village had run out of bacon. I’ll keep those pearls to myself.

I have to ask you…
I support myself and my family by working in the Free Market. I pay tons of taxes on money made in the Free Market. I pay all my bills including medical with money made in the Free Market. I give to charities and to those in need weekly from monies made in the Free Market, I find work and opportunity in the Free Market apart from a union…Do you have a problem with the Free Market?
Now here is something I have a problem with: why am I subsidizing people sitting on their ass? And, why am I subsidizing kids camping in a park protesting the Free Market? Why are illegals being allowed into the US and allowed to live off of me? Why is it that the Democrat’s only answer to every fiscal problem is “higher taxes” and it’s never to cut entitlement spending? And why, why is work punished?
From the Zero Hedge article
- For every 1.65 employed persons in the private sector, 1 person receives welfare assistance
- For every 1.25 employed persons in the private sector, 1 person receives welfare assistance or works for the government.
The punchline: 110 million privately employed workers; 88 million welfare recipients and government workers and rising rapidly.
And since nothing has changed in the past two years, and in fact the situation has gotten progressively (pardon the pun) worse, here is our conclusion on this topic from two years ago:
We have been writing for over a year, how the very top of America’s social order steals from the middle class each and every day. Now we finally know that the very bottom of the entitlement food chain also makes out like a bandit compared to that idiot American who actually works and pays their taxes. One can only also hope that in addition to seeing their disposable income be eaten away by a kleptocratic entitlement state, that the disappearing middle class is also selling off its weaponry. Because if it isn’t, and if it finally decides it has had enough, the outcome will not be surprising at all: it will be the same old that has occurred in virtually every revolution in the history of the world to date.
But for now, just stick head in sand, and pretend all is good. Self-deception is now the only thing left for the entire insolvent entitlement-addicted world.
I made my choice. How about you?

Tax the wealthy and there will be no money for investments and new jobs. Monies for charities will dry up. Tax the wealthy and you hurt charities and the middle class the most. Obama has no clue as to what he is doing. Sadly, people voted for just another politician.

Quoth the Paradise: Nevermore!
Please! No more tattoos. Cover up your butterfly, your Mayan symbol of fertility, your undulating butt cheeks covered with spider webs. Cover up your magic marker body. I do not want to see it.
Please! No more women talking endlessly on cell phones while driving an SUV or a mini-van. They are multi-tasking my patience.
Please, no more skinny jeans. If I wanted to look at a blue toothpick then I will go puncture a Smurf.
Please, no more make-your-skin-crawl women: Rachel Maddcow, Ellen, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi.
Please, no more city mayors telling us we can’t drink a biggie size drink or carry a gun or have a Chic-fil-A restaurant in our district.
And please. No more government!
When you voted for Obama you voted to make your life harder. I know I know. You thought life would be better but you were deceived by the “social justice” propaganda.
Voting for tax and spend Democrats (Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi) means that you spend less time with your family and more time working to pay your bills. Sure Barrack and Michelle will continue to get Hawaiian vacations and Barrack will continue to play hundreds of hours of golf but your family will have to put off vacations because of … 1) rising Federal and State taxes, 2) because of government regulations affecting your workplace which affects your pay and 3) because of rising consumer prices due to corporation taxes. And, tax rate increases for the wealthy do not occur in a vacuum. Increasing the tax rates for the wealthy affects everyone negatively.
With Democrats you are placed in what I call a Moronic Squeeze: government through taxation (including the newly tax-mandated Obamacare) demands more of your money. So now you will have to work more hours in order to take care of your family. Then because you are both working so much you can’t spend time with your kids, time the kids desperately need. Instead, a public school takes over your children. Then the public school system demands more money to teach your children and then government will come back for more tax money from you. Phew! You and your children are put in an ever tightening vise by government.
More devastating, government creates fiscal and moral poverty; “social justice” is the scam that is used to take money from your pocket and put it where it best serves a politician and his reelection needs.
When both parents are working who’s with the kids? Are you letting the public school inculcate its “diversity” values into your children because you don’t have the time to spend with them, because you work so many hours to pay government for the first five months of the year?
Social justice, better simply, “justice”, is learned at home. Invest your money there and not in government: spend time with your children, teach them what is good. The returns will be great. Government gives you pennies on the dollar return on your tax payments.
When you keep more of your own money you have more options and more time to spend with family. Voting for more government – more Democrats – does not give you more time with your precious family. Instead you must work all the harder to meet government’s demands. Obamacare is only one of the huge financial demands now placed on the middle class.
2014 & 2016: Think about your family before you vote for more government (and less take home pay) in the form of a Democrat candidate.
