37 Reasons Why “The Economic Recovery Of 2013″ Is A Giant Lie –

The Daily Sheeple

“If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.”  Sadly, that appears to be the approach that the Obama administration and the mainstream media are taking with the U.S. economy.  They seem to believe that if they just keep telling the American people over and over that things are getting better, eventually the American people will believe that it is actually true.  On Friday, it was announced that the unemployment rate had fallen to “7 percent”, and the mainstream media responded with a mix of euphoria and jubilation.  For example, one USA Today article declared that “with today’s jobs report, one really can say that our long national post-financial crisis nightmare is over.”  But is that actually the truth?  As you will see below, if you assume that the labor force participation rate in the U.S. is at the long-term average, the unemployment rate in the United States would actually be 11.5 percent instead of 7 percent.  There has been absolutely no employment recovery.

‘A public safety disaster’: Obamacare could force THOUSANDS of volunteer fire departments to close

Daily Mail

Volunteer fire departments all across the  U.S. could find themselves out of money and unable to operate unless Congress or  the Obama Administration exempts them from the Affordable Care Act.

‘I thought the kinks were worked out  of  Obamacare at the first of the month, Central Florida volunteer  firefighter Carl  Fabrizi told Sunshine State News.

‘Man, oh, man, this could potentially destroy  some real good companies in Florida.’

Obama is not a Pathological Liar, He is an Ideological Liar

American Thinker

Like  communism, the collapse of the Obama Administration agenda is  inevitable, not solely as a result of its many flawed policies, but because it  lacks an ethical dimension in regard to individual rights, justifiable criteria  for its use of state coercion and, in particular, a respect for the  truth.

Stated  simply, Obama lies because the true objectives of his fundamental transformation  of the United States are incompatible with American democracy and  tradition.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Dissolves Parliament

 Weasel Zippers

Coming soon to the USA….

Via CNN:

Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the nation’s parliament Monday and called for new elections. But the move did little to appease anti-government protesters who remained on the streets by the thousands.

Between 100,000 and 150,000 demonstrators rallied in Bangkok, with protest leaders saying their goal Monday is to storm Shinawatra’s office, known as Government House.

The country will hold new elections by February 2, but embattled Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra may not be her party’s choice to run, a government spokesman told CNN on Monday. “I don’t know whether the Pheu Thai Party will still vote (for) her to run again or not,” said spokesman Teerat Ratanasevi, referring to the ruling party.

If Someone Wanted To Destroy America On Purpose…

Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod And Other Staff Members Laugh It Up

The Truth

“Let’s say somebody were [in the White House] and they wanted to destroy this nation. I would create division among the people, encourage a culture of ridicule for basic morality and the principles that made and sustained the country, undermine the financial stability of the nation, and weaken and destroy the military. It appears coincidentally that those are the very things that are happening right now.”

Is Obama Planning a Third Term as President & Is Congress Able to Stop Him?

Freedom Outpost

A third term for President Obama?  Impossible you say.  Unconstitutional you  say.  True.  The 22nd Amendment says, “No person shall be elected to the office  of President more than twice.”  In 1947 FDR had just been elected to an  unprecedented fourth term.  After twelve years in office, political cronyism was  so deeply ingrained in public law and philosophy that Congress called a  Constitutional Convention for the purpose of proposing the 22nd Amendment;  subsequently ratified by three-fourths of the states and enacted into law.

So how can President Obama seek a third term?  Well, the Constitution also  says in Article  II, Section 1 that, “No person except a natural born Citizen. . . shall be  eligible to the Office of President.”  How’s that one been working out for ya?   We will no doubt be hearing much more about that should Senator  Ted Cruz (R-TX) seek the presidential  nomination, but that’s  another story for another day.

Impeachment Lessons

Family Security Matters

While Democrats quite intentionally defy the Framers’ design, Republicans  frustrate it by aggressive passivity. The Constitution divides power by subject  matter, not percentage of governmental control. The party that controls the  House has full primacy over taxing and spending, every bit as much as the party  that controls the executive branch has plenary control over prosecution  decisions. Constitutional authorities are not contingent on how much, if any,  control the party in question has over the rest of government. In theory, then,  nothing in government can happen unless the House, with ultimate power over the  purse, agrees to fund it. If a corrupt administration uses the IRS as a partisan  weapon to audit and harass its detractors, the House can refuse to fund the IRS  – or other parts of the executive branch – to quell executive overreach.

Nevertheless, Republicans incessantly tell supporters that, since they  control only the House (just “one-half of one-third of the government,” as the  tired refrain goes), they are impotent to rein in Obama’s excesses. And when  conservatives in the House or Senate urge that Republicans use their command  over the purse to stop Obama’s excesses – just as congressional Democrats have  historically used the power of the purse to stop Republican presidents from  prosecuting the Vietnam War and aiding the Nicaraguan Contras – Republican  leadership turns on those conservatives with a ferocity rarely evident in their  dealings with the president.

With Democrats energized by Obama’s lawbreaking, and Republicans paralyzed by  the prospect of government shutdowns, there is no realistic prospect that  Congress will starve Obama of funding. That leaves impeachment as the sole  remaining constitutional safeguard against executive imperialism.

There is nothing else.
