Politics
Abortion rhetoric or a moral vacuum
It’s amazing to us that some can blame the shooting at the Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic on heat Republican candidates have put on the organization. Well for goodness sake, let’s not talk about the horrific acts that go on in those places and worse yet the cavalier attitude the personnel have when it comes to “harvesting” body parts. While we’re at it, we should also stop any further discussions of the WWII concentration camps. We wouldn’t want anyone to feel bad.
The devil made them do it
Just go ahead and emblazon the term “the devil made me do it” on the seal of the Democratic National Committee. Decadence, elimination of God, bowing to the environment as a god rather than the creator of the environment, and the general loathing for individual self-reliance are considered liberal traits by many. There’s an obvious similarity in values between liberals and the devil. Liberals seem to clearly believe that there should be a lack of moral consequences for the decisions we make in life and hence a lack of moral responsibility. The fact that there are over one million abortions a year is horrific. Throw in the fact that Planned Parenthood harvests body parts like their running an auto scrap yard is unconscionable.
The push by liberals to reduce individual self-reliance is significant. Without independence, government is free to grow at will, inflicting liberal collectivism upon society rather than individuality. Take home-school teaching as an example. Many liberals fume over the notion that education can be provided by parents without government interference or control. Another example is masculinity. We’ve seen the liberals’ definition of a man; a dainty, doe-eyed, child-like representation of an adult complete with hair gel, skinny jeans and a fanny pack. It’s not surprising that this is the picture that liberals want to paint. Boldness, masculinity, independence and family values reek of individual power.
And finally, compassion. Liberals have compassion but for some reason there’s more compassion for the criminals than for the victim. We guess that since the anti-God ideals and planks in their political platform, help create the criminals, the next logical action is to make excuses for them.
All of this points to a real similarity between liberals and the devil. Or at least makes the devil a big fan.
Rahm Emanuel dithers himself into a crisis
It appears as though Rahm Emanuel has continued Chicago’s long tradition of corruption. This boss waited a year before releasing the dash cam video and now the possibility of another video being deliberately disposed of. This smells as bad as all of those turkey carcasses that have been sitting in garbage cans for several days.
Thanksgiving, a time for …. politics?
Our fearless leader suggested we spend a little quality time this Thanksgiving mixing politics in with our turkey and fixin’s. Nothing says love, togetherness, and holidays more than a heated discussion over gun control. Isn’t he satisfied enough with tearing the country apart that he doesn’t need to have families fighting as well?
Obama attempt at calm?
Obama isn’t exactly inspiring confidence. Even listening to his rambling you’d think it was a middle schooler trying to convince classmates that he’s the right man for class presidency, complete with plenty of “ums and uhs” to fully sell his commitment. Middle school students basically just wanted free stuff so maybe that’s his target audience, or democrats. Although, we’re sure there’s an army of unicorns just around the corner that Obama’s preparing to unleash on the unsuspecting bad-guys-with-good-media-skills ISIS.
CNN, with careful editing, helps us focus on their version of Trump’s message
CNN is helping us all with time management by clipping out context from interviews. Check out how CNN edited Donald Trump’s statements during an “interview” with an NBC reporter. Why waist valuable video time leaving in material that could place context on what a candidate is discussing, especially when it doesn’t fit your agenda (sarcasm).
Here’s how the video came across originally on CNN.
Reporter: Should there be a database that tracks Muslims entering this country?
Trump: There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it.
Reporter: Is that something your White House would like to implement?
Trump: I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.
Now for that oh-so-unnecessary video portion that provides context in bold.
Reporter: Should there be a database that tracks Muslims entering this country?
Trump: There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it. But right now we need to have a border, we have to have strength we have to have a wall, and we cannot let what’s happening to this country happen any longer.
Reporter: Is that something your White House would like to implement?
Trump: I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.
Shame on CNN for editing, shame on NBC for deploying gotcha questions, and also shame on Trump for not listening carefully to the question.
A cure for all social ills from the Washington Post
Thanks to the latest Washington Post Arts and Style section (Sunday 11/22/15), there’s a sure fire way to treat all social ills that occur within our racist, sexist, climate denier and islamaphobic America. We’ve conveniently hit the high spots below so you can quickly determine which books are for you based on your unhinged inner turmoil that either needs to be corrected if you’re a racist, sexist, etc. or enhanced if you don’t feel guilty enough. In some cases we’ve included snippets of their mini-summaries, let’s call them micro-summaries, so you can target your own individual needs.
This is just a subset of the many books the Washington Post highlighted covering a wide range of topics. We don’t doubt that many of those we’ve listed deserves high praise. But as a collection it’s an overwhelming showcase of a liberal agenda.
Arms: The Culture and Credo of Guns “…gun owners, along with their culture and rhetoric, ‘have grown more radical’ leaving ‘anyone who breaks ranks’ as a ‘traitor to the cause.’”
Stoned: A Doctor’s Case for Medical Marijuana
Application for Release from the Dream “…the voice is witheringly clear-sighted about contemporary American life. The poems address large-scale topics – financial inequities, consumerism – …”
The Emperor of Water Clocks “A rich, multilayered book that combines threads of fable, literature, music and cultural references… Other poems – about tensions in the street after Ferguson and President Obama reading works of Derek Walcott … ground readers in the present.”
ISIS: The State of Terror “It paints a picture of the Islamic State … but does not portray ISIS as ‘an existential threat to any Western country.’”
Give us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America “…the struggle to pass the Voting Rights Act … and the ongoing effort to strip the act of its power.”

Welcome to Braggsville “D’aron and three friends travel back to Braggsville and stage a mock lynching, “a performance intervention.”
Between the World and Me “… is a riveting meditation on the state of race in America that has arrive at a tumultuous moment in the nation’s history of racial strife.”
Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination that Changed America
Negroland “… is not about raw racism … it is about subtleties and nuances, presumptions and slights that chip away at one’s humanity and take a mental toll.”
The Nuns of Sant’Ambrogio: The True Story of Convent in Scandal “Sister Maria Luisa was intelligent, charismatic and beautiful. She was also a rapist, embezzler, murderer – and, when her crimes came to light in 1858, a serious threat to the Vatican.”

Town, a Civil Rights Battle

Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruther Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World
Looking forward to Social Security at about the time I’m bouncing great great grandkids on my knee.
A few things worth considering related to Social Security, especially if you’re a few years away from retirement….
In 2015, $900 billion was spent on social security.
In 2005, $530 billion was spent on social security.
The work force has dropped 4.5% since 2000.
We’ve nearly doubled Social Security expenditures in 10 years and simultaneously seen a drop in the work force that funds it. Key the dramatic Michael-Meyers-is-behind-the-bedroom-door music folks ’cause we’re looking at trouble.
In spite of our borrow and spend mentality – by Congress that is – it’s actually illegal for the country to borrow money to keep Social Security in the black. Huh? “Does not compute” you say. “I thought that’s how we solved all of our problems.” Sorry folks, time to be grown ups.
Whatever the answer, it’s quite likely that by the year 2030, Social Security will look very different than it does today. The primary differences will be in who gets it and when eligibility kicks in. So if you won’t be retiring for a few years, your financial planning should likely not include Social Security. Oh and one more thing, along the way the government will be dipping into your pockets to start paying back the 10’s of trillions of dollars of debt.
Clinton plays the less-than-cool prom queen wannabe. Laughing inappropriately, better known as Hillary Hilarity
Ever notice how some people, being so desperate to fit in with the cool kids, suddenly display a knack for laughing at inappropriate times. Hillary seems to fall squarely in that category, a common trait for homely girls in high school trying to garner some minor level of popularity but only ending up tripping over their shoe laces and falling face first into jello salad.
But at least Hillary wouldn’t stoop so far as to resort to a wig, no matter how symbolic that would be of her phony attempts at improving her popularity or her acceptance as one of the cool kids.
