TALES FROM THE 4TH ESTATE

TALES FROM THE 4TH ESTATE

JOHN DICKINSON WHO IS THE POLITICAL NEWS DIRECTOR FOR CBS NEWS HAS GIVEN SOME ASTOUNDING POLITICAL ADVICE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR HIS SECOND TERM. IN AN ARTICLE FOR SLATE.COM HE WRITES THE FOLLOWING REGARDING THE REPUBLICANS

“Obama’s only remaining option is to pulverize. Whether he succeeds in passing legislation or not, given his ambitions, his goal should be to delegitimize his opponents. Through a series of clarifying fights over controversial issues, he can force Republicans to either side with their coalition's most extreme elements or cause a rift in the party that will leave it, at least temporarily, in disarray.”

HE FURTHER STATES :

"That fight will be loud and in the open—and in the short term unproductive. The president can stir up these fights by poking the fear among Republicans that the party is becoming defined by its most extreme elements, which will in turn provoke fear among the most faithful conservatives that weak-willed conservatives are bending to the popular mood.”

THIS FROM THE NETWORK WHO ONCE GAVE US EDWARD R. MURROW, DOUGLAS EDWARDS AND ERIC SEVARIDE. PERHAPS HOWEVER WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED SINCE DICKINSONS BOSS LES MOONVES, SAID ONLY LAST YEAR AT AN OBAMA FUNDRAISER "ultimately journalism has changed … partisanship is very much a part of journalism now."

STILL IT IS STUNNING FOR THIS OR ANY JOURNALIST TO BE GIVING THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES POLITICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO DESTROY THE OPPOSITION PARTY. IS DICKINSON AND BY EXTENTION CBS NEWS, ADVOCATING FOR EITHER ONE PARTY RULE OR ONE MAN RULE?

WHILE CBS AND OTHERS WERE BUSY DOING THINGS LIKE THIS AND FRETTING ABOUT MANTI T’EO’S FICTIONAL GIRLFRIEND HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT STORIES THEY WERE NOT COVERING IN ANY DETAIL;

MANY OF THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BAN LEGAL GUNS FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ALSO WANT TO BAN POLICE FROM USING STOP AND FRISK PROCEDURES TO TAKE AWAY ILLEGAL GUNS FROM CRIMINALS AND GANGBANGERS!

THE COST OF HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS, DEDUCTIBLES AND CO-PAYS ARE GOING UP NOT DOWN AS PROMISED!

WHAT THE PRESS AND POLITICIANS CALLS ASSAULT WEAPONS… WHICH ARE AUTOMATIC WEAPONS… ARE NOT ASSAULT WEAPONS AT ALL!

ALMOST EVRY MIDDLECLASS PERSONS PAYCHECK WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BY TAX INCREASES AS OF JAN 1 2013!

 

WE ARE TOLD THAT AL QUAEDA IS DEAD ONLY TO FIND THAT ONE OF IT’S FRANCHISES CONTROLS TERRORITY IN NORTH AFRICA LARGER THAN THE STATE OF TEXAS!

THE PRESIDENT PROMISED TO CUT THE DEFICIT AND DEBT BY MAKING $3 OF SPENDING CUTS FOR EVERY $1 OF NEW REVENUE … NOW THE “NEW” BALANCED WAY TO DO THIS MUST BE ONLY WITH NEW TAXES WHICH WILL AGAIN AFFECT THE MIDDLE CLASS!

HE ASSERTS THAT HE CAN ACT UNILATERALLY TO STOP THE SALE OF “ASSAULT WEAPONS” BUT REFUSES TO TELL THE NATION WHY HIS ADMINISTRATION UNILATERALLY SOLD WEAPONS THAT ARE WORSE TO THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS !

THE HEAD OF THE NRA PROPOSES THAT SCHOOLS SHOULD HAVE TRAINED ARMED GUARDS AND IS CALLED THE CRAZIEST MAN ON EARTH.AND THEN WE FIND OUT IT HAS BEEN DONE FOR YEARS ACROSS THE NATION!

AND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG!

THE MODERN MAINSTREAM PRESS AND MEDIA HAVE BECOME PART OF THE REASON FOR THE GREAT DIVIDE THAT CURSES THIS NATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY. WHEN THEY PURPORT TO INFORMS US OF THE GREAT EVENTS OF OUR TIME, IT IS AS MACBETH PUT IT NOTHING MORE THAN"a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

TALES FROM THE FUTURE

TALES FROM THE FUTURE

BARACK OBAMA DOESN’T WANT TO LEAD THE NATION …HE WANTS TO SUBJUGATE IT. HE IS A DEVOTEE OF CRISIS FOR CRISIS SAKE…HE IS A PRACTIONER OF MAKING A BAD SITUATION WORSE AND A NON-SITUATION BAD .
HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN SOLVING REAL PROBLEMS ONLY FALSE ONES. SINCE HIS REELECTION HE HAS BEEN IN OUR FACE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE. HE SEES POLITICS AS THE ART OF GETTING EVEN…AN ACT OF REVENGE. HE TALKS A LOT ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS BUT HE DOESN’T MUCH LIKE THEM BECAUSE IF HE DID HE WOULDN’T BE TAXING THEM SO MUCH…OR CHALLENGING THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS…OR TRYING TO HINDER THEM FROM THE RIGHT OF SELF PROTECTION OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT.

HIS NEWEST DEBT LIMIT CRISIS HAS COME ABOUT BECAUSE HE WON’T CUT ANY SPENDING EVEN THOUGH HE PROMISED A $3 DOLLAR CUT FOR EVERY $1 DOLLAR IN NEW REVENUE. INSTEAD HE WANTS TO KEEP ON SPENDING, MAKING GOVERNMENT BIGGER…MAKING MORE PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT…MAKING THIS DEPENDENCY LIKE A NARCOTIC ADDICTION…MAKING PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS MORE POWERFUL…MAKING THE PRIVATE SECTOR SMALLER..MAKING TAXES GREATER…MAKING HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT THE NEW NORMAL..

HE WILL TAX THE MIDDLE CLASS TO PERDITION AND TELL THEM HE IS PROTECTING THEN AS HE DOES IT. HE WILL DO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY IS AND HE NEEDS THAT MONEY TO COMPLETE HIS TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATION FROM A FEDERAL REPUBLIC TO A SOCIAL JUSTICE STATE.

THE CRISES HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF ARE DESIGNED IN THE SHORT TERM TO PLACE THE REPUBLICANS ON THE DEFENSIVE. HE WANTS THEM TO BE BLAMED BOTH FOR THE PROBLEM AND THEN FOR NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM . HE HOWEVER WILL NEVER ADMIT BEING PART OF THE PROBLEM. HE WILL ALWAYS BE INNOCENT…THE CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE…THE TRIBUNE OF THE LITTLE GUY. BY THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS OF 2014 HE WANTS A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE AND TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE GOVERNMENT. IF HE GETS HIS WISH HE WILL THEN MAKE THE LEGISLATURE MOOT. HE WILL NEUTER THEM AND THEREBY MAKE THEM A PARLIAMENT OF EUNUCHS AND THE CONSTITUTION A HOLLOW DOCUMENT.

A SOCIAL JUSTICE STATE IS WHAT HE CRAVES BECAUSE A SOCIAL WELFARE STATE ALONE IS NOT SUFFICENT. THIS IS THE TRUE CHANGE HE PROMISED IN 2008. IT IS A STATE WHERE LAW, TRADITION AND HISTORICALLY SHARED VALUES ARE ABANDONED…WHERE EQUAL OUTCOMES REPLACES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY..WHERE THE DIKTAT REPLACES THE COURTROOM…WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING.

IN HIS GREAT NOVEL “THE TIME MACHINE” H. G. WELLS TAKES US TO A DYSTOPIAN FUTURE WHERE THE HUMAN RACE HAS EVOLVED INTO THE CHILDLIKE, INNOCENT ELOI, LIVING IN A PARADISE WHERE EVERY NEED IS PROVIDED AND THE SUBTERRANEAN SINISTER MORLOCKS WHO DO THE PROVIDING. THE PRICE THE ELOI PAY FOR THEIR LIFE WITHOUT CARE OR RESPONSIBILITY IS THAT THEY ARE THE FOOD OF THE MORLOCKS. THIS IS WELLS’ VISION OF WHAT A CRADLE TO GRAVE SOCIETY WITHOUT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY WILL, IF LEFT ALONE, DEVOLVE INTO. IT TAKES A TIME TRAVELER FROM THE PAST ARMED WITH THE VALUES OF THE PAST TO LEAD THE ELOI TO A REVOLT AND TO PERSONAL FREEDOM FROM THEIR DEADLY DEPENDENCY …PROVING IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO RECLAIM THIS FRAGILE THING CALLED FREEDOM WHICH WE ALL MUST HANDLE WITH CARE!

TALES FROM THE CONSTITUTIONAL CLIFF

TALES FROM THE CONSTITUTIONAL CLIFF

YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD BY NOW, THAT ROOT CANALS, COCKROACHES, HEAD LICE, COLONOSCOPIES AND FRANCE ARE MORE POPULAR THAN CONGRESS! THIS IS VERY BAD NEWS FOR THE NATION AND GOOD NEWS FOR A PRESIDENT WHO SEES THEM AND THE CONSTITUTION AS AN ANNOYANCE THAT HINDERS HIM FROM ACHIEVING ONE MAN RULE.

HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN AMPLY DEMONSTRATED. HE HAS BEEN COMPLICIT IN OR HAS DIRECTLY VIOLATED MAJOR SECTION OF THE CONSTITUTION BY SUCH ACTIONS AS:

VIOLATING THE ORIGINATION CLAUSE WITH REGARD TO OBAMACARE, THE FISCAL CLIFF FIX AND NOW THREATENING TO UNILATERALY EXPAND THE DEBT CEILING …

BY VITIATING THE SEPARATION OF POWERS AND CHECKS AND BALANCES USING CZARS, EXECUTIVE ORDERS, AND REGULATIONS…

BY FAILING TO PASS A BUDGET SINCE 2009 AS REQUIRED BY LAW…

BY GIVING WAIVERS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS PROHIBITED BY LAW…

BY PREVENTING THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION BY OBAMACARE REGULATIONS…

 

AND NOW OBAMA WANTS TO GUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT BY EXECUTIVE FIAT. HE DOES THIS WHILE A PRESS AND MEDIA CORPS , WHO IN A PRIOR TIME WOULD ONLY HAVE BEEN QUALIFIED TO DO PR FOR JIM JONES AND JONESTOWN, ARE EITHER SILENT OR FAWNING.

WHILE THIS LATEST ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTION UNFOLDS WE ARE DEVOID OF LEADERSHIP TO THWART ITS MALIGNANT INTENT. THE GUN LOBBY HAS FEW POLITICAL SKILLS AND CONGRESS SEEMS TO BE IN DISARRAY.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO I RAN A CAMPAIGN FOR STATE SENATE FOR MY CO-HOST FRANK VERNUCCIO. TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE HE WAS THE ONLY STATE SENATE CANDIDATE TO SUPPORT THE 2ND AMENDMENT IN HIS CAMPAIGN PLATFORM. HE FAILED TO RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF THE NRA AND THE NYS RIFLE AND PISTOL ASSOC. HOWEVER BECAUSE HE DIDN’T HAVE A LEGISLATIVE RECORD FOR THEM TO SUPPORT. ARE THEY SERIOUS!!! THIS IS THE LEVEL OF POLITICAL SKILL OR THE LACK THEREOF THAT STANDS BETWEEN WE THE PEOPLE AND A RADICAL ROGUE PRESIDENT DETERMINED TO UNDERMINE NOT JUST THE SECOND AMENDMENT BUT THE ENTIRE CONSTITUTION.

 

WE ARE IN THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES AND OUR OPPONENTS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR US OR FOR THE COUNTRY. IT IS IRONICALLY WHY THE 2ND AMENDMENT WAS WRITTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS NOW NECESSARY TO SECURE OUR FREEDOM IN A FREE STATE, AND ONLY A WELL REGULATED MILITIA… WHICH GEORGE MASON DEFINED AS “THE WHOLE PEOPLE, EXCEPT FOR A FEW PUBLIC OFFICIALS” …CAN SAVE US. MASON INCIDENTLY WROTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

TALES FROM THE FISCAL CLIFF

TALES FROM THE FISCAL CLIFF

IN 63 BC THE ROMAN STATESMAN MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO WAS ELECTED FIRST CONSUL OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HE WAS CONFRONTED WITH A SCEME HATCHED BY GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR TO TAKE PUBLIC LANDS AND GIVE THEM TO THE PLEBES IN ORDER TO WIN VOTES FOR A LONGTERM POLITICAL MAJORITY. IT IS AN EARLY BUT VIVID EXAMPLE OF REDISTRIBUTION OF THE PUBLIC WEALTH FOR POLITICAL GAIN AND POWER. CICERO WAS ABLE IN THE SHORT TERM TO STOP THESE AND OTHER PLOTS TO UNDERMIND THE ROMAN REPUBLIC BUT FAILED IN THE LONG RUN TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN CONSTITUTION. THE 630 YEAR OLD REPUBLIC OF CINCINNATUS, SCIPIO AFRICANUS AND CATO THE ELDER ENDED NOT TOO MANY YEARS LATER IN AN ORGY OF ASSASSINATION, DICTATORSHIP AND CIVIL WAR. IT WAS REPLACED BY A EMPIRE WHERE POWER FLOWED FROM THE EMPEROR AND THE SENATE WAS REDUCED TO BEING A SYMBOL OF A LOST REPUBLIC.

THIS IS A CAUTIONARY TALE FROM HISTORY FOR PRESENT DAY AMERICA WHERE JUST LAST WEEK A PRESIDENT TRIED AT LEAST MORE THAN A FEW TIMES TO SEND THE NATION OVER THE FISCAL CLIFF IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE POWER VIA THE DESTRUCTION OF HIS OPPONENTS. HE THEN INTENDED TO USE THE CALAMITY, THAT HE FOR THE MOST PART CREATED,TO FURTHER UNDERMINE THE CONSTITUTION AND IN SO DOING STILL FURTHER INCREASE HIS POWER BY DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DISASTER AND OFFERING UP ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO SAFEGUARD PEOPLE FROM THE VERY DESTRUCTION HE HAD WROUGHT UPON THEM.

WHILE HE WAS NOT COMPLETELY SUCESSFUL IN HIS PLANS, HE HAS SEVERELY WEAKENED HIS OPPOSITION AND MADE IT CLEAR TO ALL BUT THE MOST PARTISAN THAT HE HAS NO INTENTION OR APPETITE TO CUT ANY SPENDING WHATSOEVER. HIS SECOND ADMINISTRATION IS TO BE THE DEDICATED TO THE PROPOSITION THAT ALL MEN ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL UNTIL EVERYONE HAS EQUAL INCOME AND IS DEPENDENT UPON THE STATE ( HIM) FOR ALL MATERIAL THINGS AS WELL AS THEIR RIGHTS, WHICH HERETOFORE CAME FROM GOD.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND ARROGANT MAN AND HE HAS BEEN REELECTED BY THOSE WHO ARE SCARED, THOSE WHO ARE STUPID AND THOSE WHO WANT WHAT THEY WON’T OR CAN’T AQUIRE HONESTLY. HE IS DELUSIONAL IN HIS VISION OF HIMSELF AS A TRANSFORMATIONAL, HEROIC, HISTORICAL FIGURE AND WE THE PEOPLE WILL PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR HIS DYSFUNCTIONALITY. HE SHOULD REMEMBER, IF HE HAS THE EMOTIONAL CAPACITY TO DO SO, THAT HISTORY HAS A NASTY WAY OF GETTING EVEN WHEN DESPOTS ATTEMPT TO SUBJUGATE FREE INDIVIDUALS. CAESAR HAS HIS “IDES OF MARCH”…OBAMA WILL HAVE HIS WATERLOO.
