It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring....Carl Sagan

The holiday season has always provided a convenient venue for the stupid to escape from reality. Spend what you don't have, ignore the cost even though more expensive than the previous year and conveniently overlook the fact that the U.S. economy and everything you worked so hard for is heading down the toilet. But hey at least we elected the messiah we've been waiting for or perhaps the one warned of in the Book of Revelations? Either way as a nation we are headed downhill faster than a snowball rolling towards hell. For those with blinders or bereft of critical thinking process we are of course now headed for happy days - I think that was the mantra in the middle of the Great Depression which of course illustrates the power of the main stream media to paint political illusions of those who had not then and those who do now have a grip or insight into our current circumstances. So for those who do have an inkling of what's headed our way the attached Washington Times op-ed is a good read. For those in denial just delete....WM "Breaking with tradition, this election cycle bypassed the "October Surprise," unless you count finding out that Donald Trump is a complete idiot. (His "shocking news" on President Obama was his announcement that he was offering $5 million for the release of all drawings the Kenyan native did in kindergarten.) In the end, there wasn't even a "November Surprise." Americans, happy with their free stuff from the federal government and fully content to go $1 trillion in debt to get it, stuck with the status quo. The first post-partisan president divided America by class, sex, race, religion and America said, "Eh, whatever. Just send me my check."

Obama 2012 – More Strange Days Ahead?

Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain....Frederich Schiller

With the end of the world predicted by Mayan savages to occur on or about December 21, 2012 I'm left to wonder if maybe they might have gotten their dates wrong. The most likely scenario in my opinion, occurred in November of 2008 when a strange and unknown entity was elected President of the United States. To wit there were no astronomical or natural earth phenomena recorded at that time. So what did happen?

We have a number of possibilities to ponder. Is Obama really one of those aliens from another planet or dimension? Is he the proverbial Manchurian candidate oft mentioned, the result of mind engineering tendered by some unknown dark interests seeking to benefit from the neutering of the American republic? Hard to tell at this point but one thing does seem certain, regardless of what beginnings or circumstances molded this individual the apocalypse predicted by the Mayans may have already come to pass in the person of Barry Sotero, aka, Barack Hussein Obama....WM

Aurora Shooter an Occupy Anarchist

This vile creature a known member of the Black Bloc anarchist movement proves the point that anarchists are a threat to everyone. As such they should be labeled for what they are, violent sociopaths. Predictably within a short time after the incident the politically correct chickenshit gun control advocates began calling for a ban on all guns, the implication being that the Second Amendment is anachronistic and has no place in modern society. To that view I would reply that had someone in the audience had a weapon they could have put this vile creature out of his misery.

Regarding the so called "occupy" movement. While initially it was populated by the truly concerned it rapidly descended into chaos and confusion once the average folks abandoned the movement. However, the partisan MSM propagandists refused to let a good news story die and like their messiah, loudly announced that the movement was just the average citizen protesting the wrongs inflicted on society by those cruel capitalists. It evidently did not occur to the MSM that the average citizens were nowhere to be found, they had been replaced by the dregs of society, pimps, rapists, drug dealers and addicts, anarchists and college students who obviously were wasting their parents money on non-education. In the end the destructive nature of those who inherited the occupy movement, with the approval of Barack Obama and the MSM, have left nothing in their wake but destruction and violence proving once again that the politically correct radical socialists are completely clueless of the unintended consequences of their action - or maybe not. But, there may be a greater agenda in play here - those whose interests would be better served with the destruction of our country as we know it. Just my opinion....WM

Supreme Court health care ruling’s impact on women….

Comments On National Amnesia - Political Public Opinion

Denise Burke - Washington Times, June 25, 2012

The deadline for the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare has nearly arrived. As the nation contemplates the impact of this historic case, the court’s ruling upholding Pennsylvania’s informed-consent and parental-consent requirements in the abortion case Planned Parenthood v. Casey reaches its 20th anniversary. The rhetoric swirling around Planned Parenthood v. Casey would sound very familiar to those following the debates over Obamacare. Abortion advocates have not ceased inventing rights for women, such as access to federally funded contraception and unrestricted, unregulated and taxpayer-funded abortion. They allege that those who do not support their radical agenda are guilty of waging a “war on women.” In June 1992, abortion advocates argued that the decision itself was anti-woman. They claimed it would encourage unnecessary and mean-spirited legislation designed to denigrate women, insult their intelligence and endanger their health. This has not been the case. Despite the disappointment of many pro-life Americans with the court’s failure to overturn Roe v. Wade, a pro-woman “silver lining” has emerged from this controversial decision: Women considering abortion are better protected and more informed than they were before Casey. Pro-life legislators have continually demonstrated deep respect for American women and genuine concern for their health and safety. Informed-consent and parental-consent requirements have helped women in a vulnerable situation protect themselves by providing the facts about abortion and access to parental protection. Young girls with older boyfriends now have better legislative safeguards from potential exploitation, and women have greater opportunities to learn about every resource at their disposal. State legislators have passed measures ensuring that women are fully informed about abortion, its ever-growing list of physical and psychological complications, and positive alternatives to abortion. They also have enacted laws protecting minors by requiring parental involvement in their abortion decisions, mandating that abortion clinics meet medically appropriate health and safety standards and, more recently, providing women opportunities to view ultrasounds before abortions. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmatively recognized that states have “legitimate interests from the outset of pregnancy in protecting the health of women.” The Casey decision helped spark the ongoing national debate taking place in legislative chambers, the media and the public square about the proper role and scope of abortion law and policy. Better educated about abortion and its consequences, more Americans - especially younger generations - are increasingly skeptical about abortion and, as a result, are widely supportive of laws designed to ameliorate abortion’s well-documented negative impact on women and society. Since Casey was decided, 29 states have enacted or updated their informed-consent statutes, 18 states have enacted parental involvement laws, 23 states have enacted or enhanced abortion clinic regulations, and 23 states have enacted ultrasound requirements. These are just a few examples of the protective laws embraced at the state and federal levels over the past two decades. Recognizing that the abortion industry is more concerned with maintaining its profits than protecting the lives and health of women and girls, pro-life legislators have repeatedly acted on their behalf, relying on the principles enunciated in Casey to ensure that the resulting laws are more likely to survive abortion advocates’ inevitable court challenges. The Casey decision has given legislators the necessary tools to respond to outrages such as Kermit Gosnell’s West Philadelphia “house of horrors” abortion clinic. Last year, after investigators found “deplorable and unsanitary” conditions in Gosnell’s clinic, including parts of aborted children stored in jars, padlocked emergency exits, and broken and inoperable emergency equipment, Pennsylvania legislators acted swiftly, passing a new law mandating that abortion clinics in the state meet the same exacting standards as other same-day surgical centers. This new law is likely to survive any legal challenge because federal courts repeatedly have found, based in large part on the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Casey, that such regulation and oversight is protective of women, medically appropriate and thus legally permissible. It also has allowed legislators to ensure that women considering abortion learn that there are many risks inherent in both surgical and chemical abortions, including death, life-threatening hemorrhage, psychological problems such as suicidal ideation, and an increased risk of complications in future pregnancies. Meanwhile, abortion advocates, contrary to their self-promoted label as “defenders of women’s health,” have placed their radical abortion-on-demand ideology and financial bottom lines above the needs of American women. For example, in recent years, the abortion industry has fought to maintain and increase taxpayer funding of abortion, worked to block the growing influence of life-affirming pregnancy care centers - which offer women support and abortion alternatives - championed legislation allowing non-physicians to perform surgical abortions, and developed less expensive methods of dispensing dangerous abortion-inducing drugs that directly contravene FDA-approved guidelines and have resulted in the preventable deaths of several women.

Obama’s Socialist Designs

President’s policies are bent on shattering rule of law

Jeffrey Kuhner - Washington Times, June 21, 2012

President Obama is gradually transforming America into a socialist authoritarian state. This is the real meaning of his recent decision to grant backdoor amnesty to young illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama is behaving like a Latin American strongman, who asserts arbitrary power and ignores the rule of law. He is assaulting the very pillars of our constitutional republic. Last week, the administration announced that it will stop deporting young illegal aliens. The policy shift affects as many as 800,000 illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama’s order lifts the fear of deportation. It also grants them work permits. Mr. Obama has waved his magic wand and converted the immigration status of countless aliens, flipping them from illegal to legal residents. The order applies to those who entered America before the age of 16 and are younger than 30, who have been living here for at least five years, have no violent criminal background, possess a U.S. high school diploma or have served in the military. The policy change is a blatant attempt to bribe the Hispanic vote prior to the November election - a key constituency Mr. Obama must win. Yet, the order is more than crass partisan politics. It is an ominous usurpation of centralized power - a naked attempt to entrench an imperial presidency. Mr. Obama lacks the legal authority to grant amnesty. He is not a monarch or tyrant with unlimited discretionary authority. Rather, he is confined by our constitutional system of the separation of powers and checks and balances. The Constitution is crystal-clear: Congress has the sole power to craft immigration policy. Mr. Obama’s actions are flagrantly anti-democratic. His goal is simple: to destroy the American nation. For decades, our supposed betters have encouraged open borders and unlimited Third World immigration. Corporatist Republicans seek to import cheap labor; liberal Democrats want to import millions of potential voters. The middle- and working-class, however, have been decimated. Their wages have eroded, crime has skyrocketed, border states in the South are overwhelmed, and hospitals, schools and welfare services have been strained to the breaking point. Illegal immigration is slowly bankrupting America. Now Mr. Obama has established a magnet for millions more to come. Aliens know they can wait out Uncle Sam - eventually, amnesty will be granted. U.S. national sovereignty, the rule of law and our constitutional republic are being sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism and the creation of a Democrat-ruled one-party state. The administration has whetted the insatiable appetite of leftist Hispanic activists. The logic is inexorable: If a path to legalization can be paved for young illegal immigrants, then why not all 12 million to 20 million aliens in America? Mr. Obama clearly hopes to galvanize the Hispanic community and to build a permanent liberal ruling coalition by massively expanding the Democratic base. Today, it is piecemeal amnesty. Tomorrow, it will be wholesale legalization. The American electorate will be transformed, thereby entrenching Obamaism for decades to come. In short, Mr. Obama is slowly erecting a leftist state. This is what nationally syndicated radio talk show host Michael Savage has been warning for years. The combative conservative’s show, “The Savage Nation,” reaches 10 million listeners every week (full disclosure: I have been a guest host on his program). Almost alone among major conservative commentators, Mr. Savage has been sounding the alarm about Mr. Obama’s creeping dictatorship. His latest blockbuster, “Trickle Down Tyranny,” (Harper Collins, 2012) is a must-read. Well-written and concise, the book provides a detailed, comprehensive account of the administration’s rampant corruption and numerous abuses of power. It has one overarching, central theme: Mr. Obama is a radical leftist carrying out a Venezuela-style revolution. Mr. Savage calls the president a “fiscal Marxist” and a “new Hugo Chavez” determined to dismantle American capitalism and constitutional democracy. Mr. Savage discusses almost every one of Mr. Ob
