2014

 

The year of action has begun.  The pen and phone offensive promised by Barack Obama is in full swing by the cast of White House characters  who see problems, self created or otherwise, as opportunities for committing political homicide upon their enemies rather than obligations to find solutions for the people.

Weeks ago, it was predicted that the White House would act aggressively to change the national conversation now dominated by the economy, joblessness and "ObamaCare".

So far we have the following issues before us...all designed to to divert our attention away from the economic, military, constitutional and cultural disintegration of the nation.

The FCC attempt to monitor news organizations...

Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour...

The decimation of our military capabilities via the 2014  Defense budget...

The declaration by AG Holder,  that states Attorneys General should seriously consider not enforcing anti same sex marriage laws passed in their states...

The continued reluctance of the President to approve the XL Pipeline...

The continued aggressive efforts of the EPA to shut down the coal industry...

The overarching goal of the Administration to legislate the elimination of income inequality...

The use of the theory of "Disparate Impact"  to justify almost every radical action the Administration decides to take...

The continuous efforts to fast track  pathways to citizenship for people illegally in the country...

The effort to establish "Universal Pre-K" nation wide...

Legalization in some form of posessing and/or using marijuana... 

The attempt by the USDOJ to reinstate section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in order to continue to control how elections are run by states and localities. while attacking state voter ID laws as racist..

Restriction of political speech by 501 ( c ) ( 4 ) entities by the IRS...

 

A phoney war on women...

 

All people with Obamacare horror stories are liars...

 

All of the above were designed to do two things..at least on the surface.move the Presidents agenda of fundamental progressive change ...and more importantly appeal to the hard left, identity politics, union and radicalenvironmental coalition that is Obama's base, in order to gin  this up for the 2014 midterm elections. 

If Obama loses the Senate, and the House remains in GOP hands, then his final two years will be difficult if not impossible.  If the numbers in both chambers grow to  veto proof levels then even that arrow will be removed from his quiver.  If the election is a total "blow out" then even the possibility of impeachment would loom even with little evidence that so called mainstream Republicans have any appetite to sack the first black President in US history. 

The political calculus employed by the White House is about as evil as evil can be.  The cuts in the military for example are designed to personally hurt serving and retired personnel and their families while simultaneously setting off a firestorm pitting national security and national defense needs against anyone and everyone receiving a government benefit or entitlement. 

Failure to approve the Keystone XL Pipe Line keeps the environmental hardliners happy while giving the shaft to dwindling private sector construction trade unions and other  non unionized workers who  desperately needs these jobs.  Likewise unionized mine workers are also facing the loss of their jobs due to the EPA's regulations designed to kill the coal industry.  In both cases, a cold political calculation has been made as to whom has the hard core votes that can be counted on. 

The crusade to abolish income inequality is yet another effort to promote class, gender  and racial warfare with the administration believing that they have now entrapped  enough Americans in dependency to make them fearful and angry because of a mythical super class that has all the money while the mythical 99% has an ever shrinking  share of a pie that the progressives will not or do not, know how to grow larger.  The President's vow to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour  is facing opposition even from Democrats in districts and states hard hit by a recession that will not go way but nonetheless is another key element in this preemptive battle. 

Everything these people will now do, will at some level have an element of the discredited theory of "disparate impact" at its core.  Disparate Impact is a statistical and legal methodology that posits that  results for minorities and other protected groups that are not in proportion to the % presence of such groups in the general population is prima facie evidence of discrimination. 

USAG Eric Holder who loves Disparate Impact also is trying to overturn a Supreme Court decision  ending federal oversight of  certain states and localities who had old out of date records of racial discrimination with regards to voting.by using regulatory and legal sleight of hand.  Additionally he has admonished states Attorneys General to consider not enforcing state laws prohibiting same sex marriage.  This is designed to energize the GLBTQ community to donate to Democrats and come out in force in November.  The irony here should not be lost in a sea of hypocrisy, that his boss Barack Obama did not support same sex marriage until 2012 when he "evolved".   Coinciding with this effort was the contentious and ill advised fight in Arizona over SB 1062 which purported to uphold an individuals religious conviction with respect to homosexuality by giving people providing public accommodations the right to deny their goods and services to gays.  The sponsors say this was not the intent but one can read the bill either way and at its essence, it creates a slippery slope that is dangerous morally, constitutionally and politically. Had Jan Brewer not vetoed it on Wednesday, It would have been the  equivalent to giving the White House a whip with which they can beat conservatives to insensibility. 

Immigration is privately for bringing out the Hispanic vote and "Universal Pre-K seems to be for minorities but is really for the Teachers union. Legalizing "pot" is not for health reasons but for the youth vote.  The attempted FCC news room putsch and the IRS restrictions on the political speech of 501 ( c ) ( 4 ) non profit organizations have blown up in the face of the political operatives in the White House in large part because liberals are now  complaining the loudest at least about the IRS. 

And this is only the 1st of March!  As we get closer to November no law or part of the Constitution regarding individual rights will be safe from this gang of progressive Fascists.  All of us should bear in mind when we see a new manufactured crisis emanating from the White House and being championed by the "Mainstream" news cabal...that it will be one thing on its face and another when you do your research.  Just don't believe them or  even better do your own analysis.  The country is on the rocks and saving it and the Constitution that is its core, is the only issue we really have to consider.
