A Leftard Christmas
This is great and good on these guys for demonstrating the absurdity of the commie/progressive/liberal political correctness that has infested society.
Here's a bonus article I found that's worth reading and fits right in with the video.
Why Liberals Really, Really Hate Us

Democrats Scorching the Earth
I don't think it's any surprise that after the democrats got their asses handed to them in the midterms and on the day of the oversight hearing with Gruber and Tavener that the democrats would release their partisan report on enhanced interrogations
.Ex-CIA Directors: Interrogations Saved Lives
I was watching the ABC "news" and of course they led with the CIA story making lots of hay out of the democrats trotting out the doddering old moron John McCain (RINO) AZ. (you guys in Arizona should be ashamed of yourselves)
That was the extent of their partisanship.
The fourth story in they decided to report on the pompous elitist little dick Gruber and his "apology" for getting caught saying what all elitist progressives think of the American people.
The democrats have known about enhanced interrogation for 10 years but now that the majority of them have to go home with their tails between their legs it's time to take one last shot at GWB and how he prosecuted the war on terror.
Because the Obamessiah and his minions have done so much better what with the rise of ISIS/ISIL/IS or whatever they're calling themselves these days.
Now we have 7th century savages beheading or crucifying men,women and children in the country we spent blood and treasure to liberate which apparently is way better to liberal/commie/progressive democrats then interrogation of prisoners to try and avoid more deaths of American citizens.
Priorities I guess.
.Ex-CIA Directors: Interrogations Saved Lives
The Senate Intelligence Committee has released its majority report on Central Intelligence Agency detention and interrogation in the wake of 9/11. The following response is from former CIA Directors George J. Tenet, Porter J. Goss and Michael V. Hayden (a retired Air Force general), and former CIA Deputy Directors John E. McLaughlin, Albert M. Calland (a retired Navy vice admiral) and Stephen R. Kappes :~snip~Majority report translates to democrats report, like there's not supposed to be any partisan bias there.

Rush May Have Something Here
Back when I was in junior high school I took band class and the school scheduled us for a concert.
They sent out fliers and the gym was packed with families waiting to hear their little darlings play their instruments and take pictures.
But, before we were allowed to play the PTA decided to have a meeting before and elect new officers...which would have been alright except the fliers sent out said nothing about a PTA meeting before hand.
If they wanted community input they got plenty of it and it wasn't good.
They believed they could hold those families as a captive audience and they would endure an hour or so of dry PTA business.
They were wrong.
Rush Limbaugh's observation reminded me of incident.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: GUN, GAYS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENDAS WILL BE 'THE DEATH' OF NFL
I've been a fan of the NFL long before the pregame and half time portions of the game became another outlet of progressive/leftist propaganda. It's not like there isn't tons of other venues out there ready to expose the leagues short comings or how all football fans are racist,violent,gun toting homophobes.
But to become a captive audience to being slurred just because I want to watch a game on TV to entertain myself for a few hours is a bit much.
We can either push back against it or turn it off and at this point I don't think it makes much difference to me either way.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: GUN, GAYS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGENDAS WILL BE 'THE DEATH' OF NFL
On his Friday show, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh reacted to the previous evening’s monologue from CBS announcer James Brown during the pregame show of the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens football game.He's got a point I mean maybe I missed it but I don't recall hearing or reading about anyone saying that they hope Bob Costas gives us what for on gun violence or raving about ESPN and their coverage of Micheal Sam.
In that monologue, Brown offered a number of suggestions for his viewing audience that would somehow stymy the spread of domestic violence. However, Limbaugh decried Brown using his CBS platform for such monologue, arguing that wasn’t the time nor the place for such a lecture.
Then he went on to say that combined with other hot-button issues surrounding the NFL, including the 2012 murder-suicide of Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, the name of the Washington Redskins and the entry of Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team would be the end of the NFL.
“Sorry, this is not why I watch football,” Limbaugh said. “This is going to be the death of this sport. It is no longer an escape. It is no longer about great athletes. It is no longer about amazing athletic achievement and drama. It’s now become about guns and gays and domestic violence.~snip~

By Any Means Necessary
Here's a pretty short run down on the coercive techniques of the radical progressive left to shove their damaging and dangerous agenda down our throats.
Just the fact that they can enlist the aid of union organized civil servants to oppress speech that is contrary to theirs should raise alarm bells all across this country
A campaign to silence conservative speech
Yet we stand by and allow these partisan civil servants even more access to our personal and private information with Obamacare
What could go wrong?

The Problem with the Death Penalty
The current mainstream media outrage in this news cycle is about the execution of Joseph Woods and the amount of time it took for him to die by lethal injection in Arizona.
As a matter of fact it's enough of an issue that media whore John McCain, who never lets an opportunity pass to flap his gums, had something to say about it.
One of the things you'll notice is that when they describe the 2 murders he was convicted of there is no description of the pain his victims suffered or the amount of time they lay dying.
Those omissions are of course intentional because the progressive/liberal media wants to engender sympathy for the murderer.
Lethal injection is the newest method being used to avoid "cruel and unusual punishment". A way to sanitize execution so as not to disturb the sensibilities of the public.
A lot of states adopted a 3 drug protocol which, if administered correctly, was a pretty effective way to execute murderers.
But Joseph Woods wasn't executed using the 3 drug protocol because death penalty opponents began shaming the companies who manufactured them causing the only company making sodium thiopental to stop doing so.
So states are in a search for other protocols to execute murderers as ordered by the courts. Apparently their search for alternatives isn't going so well.
So why don't we return to the tried and true methods of the past, hanging, the electric chair, firing squad or even the gas chamber. These resulted in death way quicker than 2 hours even during the rare times they were botched.
Executing murderers should never be sanitized for the sensibilities of society. We should be able to administer the ultimate punishment to those who violate the most basic right of depriving someone of their life without being squeamish or apologetic about it.
The truth is to those opposed to the death penalty there will never be a humane enough way to execute the rabid predators of society and we should stop trying.

An Ode to Mary Jo
Yesterday marked the 45 anniversary of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne and the cover up that allowed Ted Kennedy to become the "Lion of the Senate".
I was 15 years old at the time and the moon landing pretty much took center stage in the news cycle But I was aware that something had happened at Chappaquiddick Island involving Kennedy and a young woman who died.
Of course the media at the time used the moon landing as the big story to cover up information about the facts surrounding Teddy's total disregard for a human life.
He pretty much skated responsibility for his actions and has never really been held accountable.
Democrats and the liberal media have honed their skills at altering the narrative on many issues since then to hide the truth behind their own racism, sexism and misogyny.
Anyway, over the years the truth behind a lot of these things have finally come out. Unfortunately too late to really do anything about it.
Like holding them accountable.
Over on Twitchy there's a compilation of tweets by Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) that tells the story of Chappaquiddick.
Must read: User @drawandstrike tweets ‘epic rant about Chappaquiddick’
Also there is Y TED K.com that goes into more detail.
If there ever was a more obvious instance of the media not doing their job and exposing their bias this is it.
Hopefully the era of the internet is the beginning of the end of mainstream medias deceptions and malfeasance in support of liberal/progressive democrats.

Rick Perry vs. Martha Raddatz on Immigration
If there is one thing Washington and Obama are adamant about ignoring it's illegal immigration. Even the republicans are deaf to the wishes of their constituents when it comes to securing the borders and halting the flood of illegals into our communities.
So it's kind of refreshing to have a politician arguing for government to do just that. Of course that gives a liberal/commie/progressive media talking head an excuse to parrot whatever talking points Obama and his minions passed along to her network

MSNBC Needs a Drool Bucket
I tried to watch the SOTU last night but after 5 years of being lied to by the democrats and Obama I just couldn't take it.
I saw this video in Weasel Zippers . The unashamed fawning over the Obamessiah is frankly embarrassing.
There's not even a pretense of objectivity at that network and there can be no expectation that it doesn't overflow into NBC.
Get ready for the commie/liberal/progressive media to carry water for the democrats again before the mid-terms.

Wendys Foot Meets Bullet
With the revelations of Wendy Davis' less than honest "personal story" starting to hit it's a sure bet that other items are sure to squeak out.
Such as this.
Wendy Davis’ Ex Asked a Court to Order Her Not to Use Drugs Before Seeing Her Kids
Wendy Davis Slams Pro-Life Paraplegic Opponent: He’s “Never Walked In My Shoes”
Which for some reason merited national attention.......go figure.
Hopefully the good citizens of Texas are paying attention.
Such as this.
Wendy Davis’ Ex Asked a Court to Order Her Not to Use Drugs Before Seeing Her Kids
News has broken that Wendy Davis lied about her background. She is now playing victim blaming Greg Abbott.Of course she knows how to fight back, the liberal/progressive democrat party way.
It is her ex-husband who talked to a left-of-center Dallas reporter. It is also her ex-husband who asked a Texas District Court to issue a temporary restraining order against Wendy Davis in 2003.
In that order, the judge ordered that Wendy Davis “be immediately restrained from . . . using illegal drugs or consuming alcohol within 24 hours before or during the period of possession of or access to the child.”
Speaking of the child, at the time her daughter requested her father serve as her managing conservator.~snip~
Wendy Davis Slams Pro-Life Paraplegic Opponent: He’s “Never Walked In My Shoes”
It’s just getting worse and worse for abortion activist Wendy Davis, who is falling on her own sword in the Texas gubernatorial race.We all know what the commie/liberal medias response would be if the situation was reversed but since they're not we can only deal with this as a "local story". Unlike Wendy's grandstanding advocacy for extending a woman's right to abort a child within moments of birth and fighting against tighter control of abortion clinics to prevent another Kermit Gosnell type of situation.
First, Davis was caught by a Dallas newspaper lying about her story of being a single mom who overcame adversity. Then, she sought to blame her problems on pro-life candidate for governor Greg Abbott. Now, in attacking Abbot, she’s stuck her foot in her mouth saying he’s “never walked a mile in my shoes.”
Problem is, Abbott can’t. He’s a paraplegic who is confined to a wheelchair.~snip~
Which for some reason merited national attention.......go figure.
Hopefully the good citizens of Texas are paying attention.

The Real Abortion Barbie
In a surprising turn of events a liberal media outlet has actually looked into some information put out by a democrat candidate.
Even though they tried to soft pedal the distortions of Wendy Davis' personal story, the discrepancies haven't gone unnoticed.
Dallas Morning News shines bright light on Wendy Davis's storytelling
This also shows that the image that progressive/liberal democrats try and project to the public isn't necessarily the truth. Which is why it's so difficult for voters to arrive at an informed decision as to who they want to represent them.
Even though they tried to soft pedal the distortions of Wendy Davis' personal story, the discrepancies haven't gone unnoticed.
Dallas Morning News shines bright light on Wendy Davis's storytelling
On Sunday the Dallas Morning News shined a very bright light on gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis and, it was in what was alluded to, that shows her in the most negative way. The darling of the left - who is referred to as "Abortion Barbie" by her detractors - has admitted that some factoids about her past were not as "tight" as they should have been. At first it was the team from Republican Greg Abbott that was calling a time out on her pulling at the heart strings background; however, now the DMN has launched a similar action.~snip~Some of the highlights from the linked article follow.
- Davis recently testified in a federal lawsuit over redistricting; records show her comments to be: “I had a baby. I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old. After I got divorced, I lived in a mobile home park in southeast Fort Worth.” According to public records, Davis was in fact divorced from her first husband at the age of 21 which means that she, as a Harvard educated lawyer, lied in her testimony in the federal lawsuit.
- At the age of 23, she married an attorney, Jeff Davis who was 13 years older than she. He paid for the completion of her degree at Texas Christian University, cashed in his 401(k), and took out a loan to pay for her education once she was accepted at Harvard. Davis left her second husband days after he paid off the loan on her education. According to the DMN article: Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. “It was ironic,” he said. “I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left.”
- While Davis was in Boston attending Harvard, her husband raised her first-born daughter by another man and the daughter she shared with Jeff Davis.
- Under the terms of the divorce, her husband received custody and she was required to pay $1,200 per month in child support.
- A colleague and political supporter that has worked with Davis stated in the DMN article:
“Wendy is tremendously ambitious,” he said, speaking only on condition of anonymity in order to give what he called an honest assessment. “She’s not going to let family or raising children or anything else get in her way. He said: “She’s going to find a way, and she’s going to figure out a way to spin herself in a way that grabs at the heart strings. A lot of it isn’t true about her, but that’s just us who knew her."For those in the media who don't know this is called "vetting" a candidate. Something we were denied by the Obama worshiping press prior to the last 2 presidential elections.
This also shows that the image that progressive/liberal democrats try and project to the public isn't necessarily the truth. Which is why it's so difficult for voters to arrive at an informed decision as to who they want to represent them.

Our Continuing Decline
After 6 years of Obama in office and liberal progressives pushing a nonsensical agenda things continue to look bleak for the American labor market.
SEVEN DEVASTATING ECONOMIC FACTS
To many Americans are buying the progressive lie that income inequality is caused by the rich and for some reason can't see the truth that the Obama regime has squashed opportunity at every turn in order to create dependency.
All to hold onto power in Washington.
SEVEN DEVASTATING ECONOMIC FACTS
U.S. economic conditions in 2014 continue to languish, as millions of Americans remain jobless. Seven economic facts underscore America’s increasingly dire economic outlook.Read it and weep. In a very short time we've gone from "hope and change" to desperation and despair with 3 more miserable years of this presidency to go.
1. A Record 91.8 Million Americans Are No Longer in the Workforce
The latest Labor Department figures reveal that a record 91.8 million Americans are no longer in the U.S. labor force. To be included in the Labor Department's calculations for this statistic, a person must be 16 years or older, a civilian, not in an institution (such as prison), and someone who has not looked for a job in the last four weeks.
Minorities have been hit especially hard. As Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research noted to PBS, last month’s jobs report also saw “the lowest rate of labor force participation among African-American men since we have kept that count. So that was really striking.”
According to the U.S. Census, 317 million people live in the United States.
2. Since Jan. 2009, the Number of Jobless Working-Age Americans Has Risen 9.6 Million People~snip~
To many Americans are buying the progressive lie that income inequality is caused by the rich and for some reason can't see the truth that the Obama regime has squashed opportunity at every turn in order to create dependency.

A Week of Change
Here's a reminder via Breitbart News of what's at stake this week from the Supreme Court.
U.S. Braces for Historic Supreme Court Decisions
Even though Justice Scalia questions the sanity of "moralist" judges, historically the court hasn't shied away from making pronouncements from on high. So I don't see much hope for them ruling in favor of common sense. Their ruling on Obamacare pretty much taught me that.
But then again I have to agree with Justice Roberts.
As long as we can't spare 10 minutes a day away from American Idol and TMZ to make ourselves aware of what politicians are doing to society in our name then nothing will change.
Only until the boot of the liberal/progressive commie democrats and RINOs tightens to the point that we all suffer under their tyranny will we throw off their oppression and vote them out on their asses.
If we are still able to vote by then.
U.S. Braces for Historic Supreme Court Decisions
This week the Supreme Court will hand down four decisions that will mark a turning point for the United States, and some possible outcomes could even change the course of this country for the rest of our national existence.I don't believe that the term "conservative" really means much anymore as far as what the court will do with these issues. It seems to have a mind of it's own.
The High Court heard 75 cases this year. As this week begins, 64 have been decided, meaning the final 11 will come down this week as the Court concludes its 2012 Term. Seven are run-of-the-mill cases, but the other four are as big as they get. ~snip~

“Members of this Court…we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect people from the consequences of their political choices.”And he's right, we are where we are in this particular point in history because of the choices we all made at the ballot box.
As long as we can't spare 10 minutes a day away from American Idol and TMZ to make ourselves aware of what politicians are doing to society in our name then nothing will change.
Only until the boot of the liberal/progressive commie democrats and RINOs tightens to the point that we all suffer under their tyranny will we throw off their oppression and vote them out on their asses.

Global Warming Hysteria
I've lived in "tornado alley" just about most of my life and up until just a few years ago tornadoes hitting communities were considered mostly local stories.
Now they've become national news and I think we all know the why.
Piers Morgan and Bill Nye Speculate on Climate Change’s Role in Deadly Okla. Twister
Also we knew this was coming.
Boxer uses Okla. tornado to push carbon tax
Now they've become national news and I think we all know the why.
Piers Morgan and Bill Nye Speculate on Climate Change’s Role in Deadly Okla. Twister
During CNN’s live coverage of the deadly Oklahoma tornado on Monday night, host Piers Morgan and Bill Nye speculated on the possible role of climate change in the disaster.
“As a scientist, when you hear about the size, scale, power, devastation of this tornado, what does it tell you about the ongoing debate about climate change?” Morgan asked his guest.
Nye said climate change has to be considered after a catastrophic weather event like the devastating tornado in Oklahoma. He also claimed 10 of the last 12 years are the “warmest years recorded.”~snip~
Also we knew this was coming.
Boxer uses Okla. tornado to push carbon tax
California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer blamed the tornado that devastated Oklahoma on global warming during a Senate floor speech Tuesday, using the opportunity to push her own plan to tax carbon dioxide emissions.Never mind that there has been a decrease in the number of strong to violent tornadoes since the 50's.
“This is climate change,” Boxer said. “This is climate change. We were warned about extreme weather: Not just hot weather, but extreme weather. When I had my hearings, when I had the gavel years ago — it’s been a while — the scientists all agreed that what we’d start to see was extreme weather.”
“Carbon could cost us the planet,” Boxer added, plugging her own carbon tax bill, co-sponsored by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “The least we could do is put a little charge on it so people move to clean energy.”
There seems to be a misconception out there that "global warmists" and the modern progressive media care about what happens to the people in this country.
The truth is they don't, what they do care about is controlling every facet of our lives from birth to death and finding a way for us to pay heavily for being alive and using the "resources" of the planet. Of course they'll be the ones who decide how best to distribute the confiscated, by force, funds.
What happened to the people in Oklahoma city and other areas affected by tornadoes is tragic and they deserve all our efforts to help them.
What is reprehensible is the way the liberal progressive commie politicians and lapdog media stand upon the bodies simply to push their ill considered and heartless agendas.
It's time to call these clowns out for what they really are and stop buying into their blatant lies about them caring about anyone but themselves.

Liberal Paradise Detroit's Future Bleak
There are so many examples in our country of what happens to communities when liberalism runs amuck.
What was once a great city now is a festering cesspool.
Report by emergency manager says Detroit's finances are crumbling, future is bleak
What was once a great city now is a festering cesspool.
Report by emergency manager says Detroit's finances are crumbling, future is bleak
Detroit is broke and faces a bleak future given the precarious financial path it's on, according to a new report out by the city's state-appointed emergency manager.
The report was released late Sunday by bankruptcy attorney Kevyn Orr and is his first on Detroit's finances since officially taking the job in March.
Under state law, the report was due within 45 days of Michigan's newest emergency manager law taking effect. Orr's spokesman Bill Nowling had warned last week that the report was an early look at Detroit's fiscal condition and would not be glowing.
The summation is the latest blow to the city which came under state oversight in March when Gov. Rick Snyder selected Orr to handle Detroit's finances. Then, the city estimated its budget deficit to be about $327 million. Detroit also has struggled over the past year with cash flow, relying on bond money held by the state to pay some of its bills.
But Orr reports that Detroit's net cash position was negative $162 million as of April 26 and that the projected budget deficit is expected to reach $386 million in less than two months.
He also warns that the city's financial health might change as more data is collected and analyzed.
"What is clear, however, is that continuing along the current path is an ill-advised and unacceptable course of action if the city is to be put on the path to a sustainable future."~snip~
I find it truly astonishing that there are so many in this country that wants this kind of rot and corruption for the entire nation.
Detroit is a canary in the mine type warning of what will happen to all of us if progressive policies aren't stopped and then reversed.
If not it will be generations before we will be able to dig ourselves out of liberalisms misguided ideas.

Leftists Know no Shame
Wow, the bodies of the tragic victims of today's shooting didn't have time to get cold before the anti gun zealots of the left started screeching "gun control" at the top of their lungs.
Newtown School Shootings: Celebrities demand gun control
Newtown School Shootings: Celebrities demand gun control
Dec 14 (TheWrap.com) - The Connecticut school shooting that killed 27 -- including up to 20 children -- horrified Hollywood along with the rest of the nation, prompting one of the most pro-gun control segments of the country to again demand better restrictions and more mental health services.No facts in yet as the whole ordeal is still being investigated but that doesn't stop the unhinged left from posing on the bodies of the latest victims to make their case for revoking the second amendment.
The shooting at a Newtown grade school came just months afer July's deadly "Dark Knight Rises" shooting in a theater in Aurora, Colo. Filmmakers and actors used their celebrity to plead for change on Twitter.
"Too soon to speak out about a gun-crazy nation? No, too late," tweeted "Bowling for Columbine" director Michael Moore. "At least THIRTY-ONE school shootings since Columbine."
"The way to honor these dead children is to demand strict gun control, free mental health
care, and an end to violence as public policy," he added.
Current TV host John Fugelsang condemned what he said were lax gun laws.
"America likes guns the way the rest of the world likes soccer," he tweeted, adding: "Guns don't kill people. People in states without gun-purchase background checks & waiting periods kill people."
Every school in this country is a "gun free zone" at the insistence of the nanny leftists and still these things happen....seems to me it isn't working out so well is it?
What if some teachers or administrators in that school were trained and allowed to conceal carry, you think this killer would have taken all these lives then?
Deranged murderers don't give a damn about "gun free zone" laws and the twisted left knows that, their agenda is all about disarming law abiding citizens so we can't defend ourselves from their progressive, leftist, commie tyranny and they'll walk over the bodies of anyone to get it.
Otherwise, instead of liberal talking points they'd all be sending their condolences without the histrionics.
Just goes to show just how much they care about these children....don't it?

Whiny Libs Blubber to U.N.
I can't think of anything more insulting than to be monitored by this group of racists, liars and thieves.
International monitors at US polling places draw criticism
I just find it so hard to believe that these people actually want to continue four more years down this ideological road.
Just because they want to commit suicide doesn't mean they have to take the rest of us with them.
International monitors at US polling places draw criticism
United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.Progressive commie leftists will not take defeat lightly.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama.
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the NAACP and the ACLU, among other groups, warned this month in a letter to Daan Everts, a senior official with OSCE, of “a coordinated political effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans — particularly traditionally disenfranchised groups like minorities.”
I just find it so hard to believe that these people actually want to continue four more years down this ideological road.
Just because they want to commit suicide doesn't mean they have to take the rest of us with them.

OK Libs...What's Wrong with the U.S.Flag?
Liberal progressive commie democrats irritate me to no end, but what really irritates me is why they feel the need to "improve" the U.S. flag to their warped ideal?
I mean what's wrong with the sight of the American flag waving in the wind against a blue and white sky? This flag that many have pledged allegiance to, died under. That symbolizes freedom and individuality.
Countless immigrants have come to this country to live under this flag and prosper.
Yet liberal progressive commie democrats want to defile it by altering it to reflect their warped idiocy.
Like this:
Or even this.
I realize that in the grand scheme of things this seems like a petty complaint but when you think about it corruption and oppression has always begun with the small things and grows from there.
Taking away what holds us together as a nation is the first step to taking away what makes us unique in the world, a people who can own what we make and create, be free to have property and do what we wish with it and live with as little interference from government as possible.
It don't need any liberal progressive commie democrat "improvement", it's just fine as it is.

Singing for Dear Leader Obama
Here's a video that's been on YouTube since 2008, a music teacher got all these kids together for the purpose of elevating the Obama campaign into a cause.
Why do liberal progressive commie democrats constantly try to make their nominee into a cult worship figure?
I'm almost 60 years old and don't recall anything similar for the campaigns of Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan.
The difference is that liberal progressive commie democrats want someone who will be a "father figure", to solve all their problems and take care of them.
Conservatives want someone with a plan to keep the country stable and interfere as little as possible in their lives and businesses. To allow people to be individuals and succeed or fail on our own merits. To live life without a net.
The gulf between the two is insurmountable.
We must come together to shake off the yolk of progressive oppression.

Hey Chris Matthews, Sci-Fi means "Science Fiction"
I don't think there's anything that illustrates the fantasy world that progressive leftists live in better than Chris Matthews asking someone if there will ever be something like the "Minority Report" in real life to find out who the bad guys are?
Aside from the fact that the movie is fictional, exactly what would he have the government do to someone who hasn't actually committed a crime yet? Also for anyone who has seen the movie the conclusion at the end was that the whole idea wasn't a good thing.
Sometimes I wonder if these idiots can actually hear the nonsense they utter.

Subservience OK as Long as You Don't Flaunt It
I don't think anything could be more symbolic of the current administration than this.
Adidas cancels new 'shackle' sneaker after sharp criticism
But it's inappropriate to sell a shoe with a chain and shackle?
These shoes should be standard issue for every American alive to symbolize the enslavement of the people to a progressive, socialist, nanny state looking to take over every aspect of our lives.
They are a symbol of slavery, a symbol of the American people being enslaved by the progressive left.
Adidas cancels new 'shackle' sneaker after sharp criticism
Adidas is canceling plans for a sneaker with a shackle-like ankle cuff that some critics say too closely resembles a symbol of slavery.So it's OK to reduce a families net worth by 35% or greater and to make more people reliant on food stamps than any time before in our history. Take over and dictate how our health care is administered and how big a soda we can buy?
The company announced Monday that it would withdraw the JS Roundhouse Mid, made in collaboration with fashion designer Jeremy Scott.
The sneaker was supposed to be a reboot of a classic high-top sneaker with a strap across the middle. A preview was offered months ago and generated little chatter, but the company recently started promoting it on its Facebook page.
Many users left comments on the page’s bulletin board ripping the day-glo orange shackles, saying they are particularly offensive to African-Americans because they evoke imagery of slavery and prisoners on the chain gang.
