The clock is slowly ticking towards 8 p.m. ET, is this the time and date that will be inscribed on the death certificate of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America? Or is this the date the the "Silent Majority" finally wakes up and helps the true patriots throw off the shackles of Progressivism that have been wrapped around our inalienable rights over the last 100 odd years?
A lot will depend on what construction Obama comes up with for those that are already here. The recent leaks point to some kind of work permit for families with children born here who are accepted, wrongly in my opinion, as US citizens. But I have said before, it is not realistic to expect a draconian response to these families. So a fair approach is to provide a work permit allowing them to pay taxes and to contribute to Social Security. Also they should pay a fine for the taxes missed in the years prior to this amnesty. They must also show that they and their family have been here a significant number of years (the actual number of years should be decided by Congress). And any government related support, welfare, healthcare subsidies, in-state tuition, etc., should only be eligible after the same number of years as legal immigrants, e.g. those earning a work visa or green card.
For employers we should insist on the use of e-verify and the application of stiff fines for those caught using any of the remaining illegals, from small landscaping companies to large manufacturing companies.
So we wait with bated breath to hear what will be presented tonight, and pray that we are not being "Grubered" yet again. After all, how often have the statements from this regime turned out to lack any veracity what so ever!
And if Obama presents himself as an emperor and makes a huge power grab, we will all have enough back bone to stand up to him and his cronies. The regime, supported by its lackeys of the Lame Stream Media, seem to think that they can pull the wool over the eyes of the "stupid Americans". Hopefully the GOP is wise to this trick and does not fall for the " GOP shut down the government" story. There are rumors that the GOP is looking at moving away from Omnibus funding bills, and going back to the old system of individual budgets by department. This means the GOP can add riders to the budget to ensure that the appropriations are only used for closely defined purposes. If King Barry then refuses to sign the bill because it excluded some funding that he requires, e.g. funds to print and distribute work permit cards, it is not the whole government that gets shut down, and it will be obvious to Americans who is being petulant. This will not work for every department, because some departments are funded by user fees. But I am sure that there must be some clever people in the GOP that can find a solution for those exceptions.
Separate, smaller funding bills will allow inclusion of riders that repeal parts of ObamaCare, for example the Medical Device Tax. Slowly removing the funding legs on which this travesty stands will help lead to a final total repeal and replace with a more practical solution. With the recent revelations about the deceit used to build and sell ObamaCare to Americans, this will bring more kudos to the GOP that will help them in the 2016 elections.
In the past the GOP and conservatives have fallen into the trap set by the DemocRATS by meeting their issues head on. We need to take the time to analyze their strategy and then design a counter attack that undermines the strategy and brings the GOP to their desired results.

But even stranger if you add in the lack of any reporting about our so called post-racial dictator meeting with any of Officer Wilson's family or representatives. Maybe that did happen but was so super secret that it was never uncovered. Or could it be that the squatter in the WH is giving up all pretense at being multiracial and is just doing what He wants?
For a team that ran such tightly messaged and successful campaigns, it seems as if they have taken their eyes off the ball right now. Or maybe they got bored and went back to playing with their X-boxes.

After the recent elections, Caliph Hussein reluctantly dragged his sorry donkey in front of the microphones to say that he would deign to work with Congress and especially the Republicans. He expected that there would still be some topics on which he could not agree with these weird people, so admonished them to bring bills of a bipartisan nature which would be easy to sign.
Right now it looks as if the first bill to be placed on his desk, begging for the consideration of his scribble will be a very bipartisan bill. Insiders in DC are already talking about the possibility that it might even pull enough DemocRAT votes to make it veto proof. But if not, our dictator has already announced that he will veto this bill.
Let me see, so what he told us "stupid" Americans is that he is prepared to work with the Republicans, and that they had better bring him bills that are bipartisan, but if he still does not like them, he will exercise his infinite wisdom to veto them. I know that I have said this before, but is this psychotic not sounding more and more like King George of the 1770s? I am surprised that this country tolerates such a narcissistical, egotistical, megalomanic, lying bastard. (And before someone gets their pantyhose in a twist because of the disrespect that might emenate from that last word, I am technically correct. Whether BHO Sr. was his biological father matters little since legally BHO Sr. was already married and so could not marry BHO Jr.'s guest womb. And there are many rumors of the possibility of a different biological father too.)
I know that the i-word is bandied about often and that many say it would be an impossible objective. But again, technically, the Constitution specifies high crimes and misdemeanors. Add far as I am concerned, as a simple student of our Constitution, constantly lying to the American people and treating us as ignorant subjects is close enough to the definition of high crimes as I need so that impeachment proceedings can be started. Or to make it even easier, maybe now enough people will lose their great fear (or awe) of Darth Vader and start real investigations into his background and nationality. I wish people would see that with all the lies perpetrated on America and Americans that we know about, there is a greater than 50% chance something is not kosher in his background either. And that might make things a lot easier because then we could automatically reverse every piece of paper he ever signed. It would be messy, I agree, but why are we afraid of cleaning up a mess when we would able to stop his America destroying tactics in their tracks. In fact, I would not protest a reasonable increase in taxes for a few years if that was a consequence of impeachment. After all, Dear Leader manages to find new ways to trick us into new tax increases anyway, so why not donate to a worthy charity, the removal of Barry Soetoro from office.
In days gone by, when we threw off the shackles of King George, even then the agitators were just a relatively small, vocal minority prepared to fight the good fight and do the right thing. In those days we had Tories and Patriots that discussed and fought each other; we had a media (only printed or word of mouth in those days) that itself was open to discussion, often vitriolic. But at least the truth came out, even if it was cloaked in all sorts of other misrepresentations. People could filter the media output and measure against other things being disseminated, then deciding for themselves what was and was not true. Today, most Americans are more interested in topics that have nothing to do with civics and politics but would not find them on their favorite channels anyway. Those that are interested are often derided by the Washington elitists.
BTW, for most LIV voters, questions about TMZ, VH1 or CMT related topics = 100% correct; questions about civics, politics or history = 10% correct.
As far as information sharing goes, the Regressive elites that control most of the media, especially those channels that the Low Information Voters tend to watch, have refused to carry anything about the mushrooming Jon Gruber scandal, even though the first videos surfaced two weeks ago. They have lost all journalistic integrity and slavishly regurgitate what is fed them by the imperialistic regime, conveniently omitting anything that might throw negative shadows on their carefully nurtured nestlings. It is despicable to see how quickly they parrot unfounded allegations around the Ferguson situation yet refuse to even mention proven and open lies about how the Unaffordable Care Act was assembled in a way full of deceit and misrepresentations. Worse still, when key figures from the regime try to distance themselves from Gruber, saying they knew nothing and he was a minor figure, videos immediately surface of them praising his participation on the process. And of course the media refuses to call anyone out on these blatant lies. Do they really think that 'We The People' are stupid and do not see through the buffalo excrement laden platitudes? In some ways, those lies are an even greater insult to all reasonable people (we can forget about the LIV TMZ, VH1 generation, perhaps even forgive them since the elitists are not feeding them the correct information).
So what can we do about this? As I said earlier, it would be awesome to think about impeachment or the overturning of King Barry's elections. But the Washington crowd is too interested in protecting their own jobs and lack the fortitude and honesty to take this issue as far as it needs to go. Maybe a few strong Republicans will take up the sword for us and the country; if we are lucky there might even be few brave DemocRATS who are prepared to join them. It would be a very courageous decision, because look at how the Washington establishment treats those who step off the reservation.(from either side) But I would happy to support such brave Democrat souls in the next election, even if their underlying political bent is not the same as mine. The event of my enemy is my friend, and I can respect any friend whose honesty I can trust.

According to the results of a recent poll, support for the terror group is likely on the rise throughout the Western world. The poll, conducted on behalf of the Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya by ICM, found that among people in Great Britain, France and Germany 2 percent say they have a favorable view of Islamic State and 7 percent say they have a somewhat favorable view of the group. In France, which has a large Muslim population, 16 percent of those surveyed say they support ISIS; among people age 18-24 in the country the number jumps to 27 percent.
This is alarming, in part because a growing number of Europeans, often from predominantly Muslim immigrant communities, are not just expressing their support for ISIS in polls: they are traveling to Syria and Iraq to join up. The ISIS fighter who killed American journalist James Foley on video last week spoke with a strong London accent. European governments are rightly worried about the implications of this for their own national security.
The message in this article, especially at the end, applies to elections throughout the country, at local, state and federal levels. Unfortunately we seem to have forgotten how important honesty, integrity and trustworthiness are to the political process. Just let me remind you, it matters not whether the candidate's name is followed by a D, R, L or I, if they have proven lies, fraud or other shenanigans in their past, reject them, do not vote for them.

We have existed for hundreds of years without Jews complaining about bacon signs, so what makes Muslims special that they can interfere with our way of life. If you don't eat bacon, ignore the sign and get on with your life. If not, get the hell out of the USA, we are a country built on TOLERANCE, not the imposition of individual views on the masses.

Even though it is very obvious to all logically thinking people how evil and dangerous ISIS is, the Regressives have already started their campaign to hide the truth by twisting words, because they feel they must appease these monsters. Mark my words, this is just the start of the war of words to make ISIS look like a sorry, poor, oppressed people. The Regressives, supposedly the party of women's and gay rights, is too blind to see that those they support will turn on them if they let the Islamists take power. And political correctness will hasten that stealing of power.
I do like the quote at the end of the article which, paraphrased, says "in OUR country you will be free to practice your medieval, goat-herders so called religion but only those parts which do not conflict with our social norms of a civilized society. Anything that conflicts will not be accepted for exemption from legal protection based on religious grounds and will be prosecuted with the full force of the law."
