Share One of These to Let the President Know You Haven't Forgotten

In 2009, President Obama threatened those who criticized Obamacare: “If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out.”
But as Obamacare unfolded in 2013, it was clear the President and his Administration were the only ones misrepresenting the law.
Now, Mr. President, we’re calling you out. In our original visual fact check below, we’ve highlighted some of those faulty promises.
Did one broken promise affect you more than another? Be sure to share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter.
Let’s keep the President accountable as more of Obamacare reveals itself in 2014. In addition to the new taxes and fees that took effect January 1, Americans are still dealing with all of these problems.

Am I to blame? Mikhail Kalashnikov...

MOSCOW (AP) -- Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the AK-47 assault rifle, reportedly wrote a regretful letter several months before his death asking the head of the Russian Orthodox Church if he was to blame for the deaths of those killed by the guns.
The Russian daily Izvestia reported Monday that Kalashnikov, who died last month at 94, wrote to Patriarch Kirill in April and told him he kept asking himself if he's responsible.
"The pain in my soul is unbearable. I keep asking myself the same unsolvable question: If my assault rifle took people's lives that means that I, Mikhail Kalashnikov, ... am responsible for people's deaths," he said in the letter.
"The longer I live, the more often that question gets into my brain, the deeper I go in my thoughts and guesses about why the Almighty allowed humans to have devilish desires of envy, greed and aggression," Kalashnikov continued.
Kalashnikov's daughter, Elena, was quoted by Izvestia as saying that a local priest could have helped her father write the letter, which was typed and carried his signature.
The letter contrasted sharply with past statements by Kalashnikov, who had repeatedly said in interviews and public speeches that he created the weapon to protect his country and couldn't be blamed for other people's action.

Pretty much sums it up...

Protecting us...



~~~~~~

Who will protect us from those who protect us?

Truman...



“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

~~ Harry S. Truman

[Special Message to the Congress on the Internal Security of the United States, August 8, 1950]”


~~~~~~

By almost totally controlling the media, the government effectively silences the opposition.

I continue to contend that any other administration as corrupt as our current one would have been shown the door by now. 

It seems that each administration becomes more corrupt than the last, though I would say that Clinton was worse than Bush the Second...

Good morning...

Let's not forget Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, Vince Foster's death, etc, etc, etc...

It's all in the delivery...

"It's All In the Delivery..."

Suddenly, a cow jumped out into the road, the car hit it full on, and the
car came to a stop.
Nancy, in her usual charming manner, says to the
chauffeur, "You get out and check--you were driving."
So the chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead,but
it was old.
"You were driving, so you go and tell the farmer," says Nancy.
Two hours later the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled with a
big grin on his face.
"My God, what happened to you?" asks Nancy.
The chauffeur replies, "When I got there, the farmer opened his best
bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a wonderful meal and the daughter made love to me."
"What on earth did you say?" asks Nancy.
"I just knocked on the door and when it opened I said to them........
..
..
..
..
"I'm Nancy Pelosi's chauffeur,
and I've just killed the old cow.."

They are all douches...

Even though I agree 100% with this statement, I still think Christy is a douche.


NSA spying

IRS scandal

Benghazi

Fast & Furious

This Joyzee thing has already received more attention than all of the scandals of the past 5 years combined.  Where does it end?  My prediction:  Christy will be crucified.  Dems will regain control of The People's Republik of New Jersey.  obama will sit back and smile that sociopathic smile of his, all the while claiming he had no involvement in it. 

We all know what needs to be done.  We're just waiting for the "right" time.  :)

Then we'll show 'em, by God!!!

(Did those last two lines come off as snark?  It's sometimes hard to convey snark with the written word, ya know...)

Harsh :) ...

From cousin Michael.  Kinda harsh?  LOL. 

The first step in solving a problem is admitting that we have a problem...

We have a problem.

Restorative justice...

Undisciplining Kids Through 'Restorative Justice'

Re-education: Under new federal guidelines for reforming "discriminatory" school discipline, the disruptive will learn quickly that their teachers must now tolerate even more disruptive behavior.
This is about the only learning that will be going on, especially in inner-city schools, once this insane policy is fully implemented.
This week the Education Department warned the nation's school administrators it's not a good idea to remove unruly kids from the classroom. What about the violent ones? Suspend them only as a "last resort." Think twice about even sending them to the principal, and whatever you do, don't call the cops.
Obama's educrats say minorities bear the brunt of these "draconian" practices. And based on statistics they've cooked up showing racial "disparities" in punishment, they smell school racism on a national scale.
Principals who want to avoid lawsuits and hold on to their funding would be well advised to adopt a "non-punitive" approach to handling discipline problems called "restorative justice," a remedy recommended in the guidance package the department released Wednesday.
This is when irresponsible social policy-making turns dangerous.
Restorative justice, also called reparative justice or distributive justice, is part of a fringe civil rights movement that demands the abolition of prisons. Under this approach to justice, there are no offenders. Just victims. It trivializes crime and has increased recidivism wherever it has been applied.
Intimidated by federal investigations, hundreds of school districts across the country already have hired civil rights activists to train faculty in the finer points of restorative justice.
