“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”
The transgenerational brilliance of George Orwell’s observations are always tempered by the manner in which they strike an unease in one’s heart, marked by a timeless clairvoyance and unmatched poignancy that is certain to bring pause to anyone rooted in reality, and though the actualities to which he referred have lurked in this country for decades, they have now emerged from the shadows in full force and with ferocity, evinced by unhinged tirades of this president and his caravan of brown shirt attack dogs.
Very much like a Jackson Pollock work, there is nothing linear or logical with respect to the machinations of this administration; it is, instead, reflexive and hard wired for conflict. When empirical examples now demonstrate daily the monumental failures of their policies, a reactionary methodology kicks into overdrive as if they were wearing shock collars. Blame, accuse, accost, divert, impugn, besmirch, divide, bait, and switch. “Next question, please?”
The topic matters little, a straight answer is never provided, and the predictable Pavlovian paean to their ideology is instinctive: set the smoke screen to buy time, reconvene at the control center, cut loose the dissemblers, reach escape-mode velocity, hit the ejector switch, then repeat. One day Mr. Obama channels Ronald Reagan, another HST. He finds time to stoke the racial fires on his way to another microphone to butt in on membership policies at Augusta National, takes a slap at Mrs. Romney, hits up lap dog George Clooney for a $50,000.00 a plate brunch, coos into the ear of our Russian enemy, makes the daily gratuitous swipe at wealthy people, and before you know it people have forgotten his knee-jerk communist indignation at the separation of powers, and his phalanx of propagandists have successfully salted the media with a red herring that our Supreme Court does not “understand” Obamacare or is somehow ill-equipped to navigate through the sludge. Marx, Lenin, and Stalin are roasting in hell, doing vodka-shooters, and shouting “Na Zdorovia!”
The people in the “Progressive Caucus” lashing out at Representative Alan West on one hand state that they are not communists and in the same breath state they are for economic fairness, and instead of explaining their overt hypocrisy have resorted to demeaning the Colonel. “Fairness” is a pipe dream with gnomes and fairies and NOT a legislative responsibility under our constitution, yet, like angered rattlesnakes they have mobilized swiftly in an attempt to demean the messenger. Do not confuse cunning with intelligence, reactionism as a plan, or bellicosity with gravitas. The reality is the administration and its Schutzstaffel are a straight-up dumpster fire: drunk on ideology and grasping at anything that will avert attention from their ineptness or demagoguing naivity. “If the law isn’t on your side, argue the facts. If the facts aren’t on your side, argue the law. If neither is on your side, bang the table and keep shouting.”
Invoking the Commerce Clause as justification for the purpose of instituting a mandate that everyone be required to purchase a government approved product is not only an obscene example of a dismissive totalitarian mindset, it is akin to a dentist trying to convince a patient to let him perform brain surgery because he’s already working in the vicinity. The truth is the healthcare law was never intended to be economical nor was it ever intended to improve the delivery of health care. It was a Trojan Horse sold to all Americans with the ultimate intention of eroding liberty, with the belief that once established it would provide the necessary foothold to not only tell people what they must buy, but what they could NOT buy. The reason the administration is flailing presently and throwing anything at the wall that might stick is that through unbridled hubris it thought once it caught everyone asleep by commandeering over 15% of the economy the rest would be easy picking, and it’s not turning out that way.
Any government dictate is a double-edge sword. A government that can impose a mandate to purchase via legislative overreach will use the same premise to restrict free market consumerism, and the last stocks I would want to own would be those of soft drink manufacturer’s or fast food franchises for they will be the newest targets for regulation as well as a surtax of bewildering proportion. The budgetary and economic incompetence of Congress combined with a president bent on crippling our country financially until it sinks to an equilibrium with Europe will seek more tax revenue from heretofore untapped reservoirs, and the golden geese still yet to be gored will be the “the people who manufacture drinks to ruin our children’s teeth and cause obesity and diabetes, along with the people who sell us food with the express purpose of giving its customers heart disease.”
Don’t think for a minute the text of that forthcoming speech has not already been written.
If the Patient Execution and Unaffordable Care act is not struck down, I will see during my remaining life time the monitoring of consumption to the point that goods we purchase freely today are ultimately rationed. A data bank will track your every purchase, and woe be unto the diabetic receiving government insulin if he dares to buy a soft drink, for this insistence upon increasing government control is not a slippery slope, but a precipice, upon which we now balance most precariously.
All this writing has made me hungry. Think it’s about time for a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a large Coke, and I will super-size my fries while I still can.

So … the NCAA controls the rules by which a conference needs to meet requirements to hold a conference championship, but they have no jurisdiction over the bowls and national championship? Or interest in doing so?
I just wish that voltswagon would give up on trying to have the fastest car in the world, and share it giant course because I am getting tired of looking at the dang bugatti. The koeningsegg if 2x cooler looking than the bugatti, and in theory could break into the 270 along with the hennessy. The pagan is my favorite though:)
I believe you nailed that one, Mr. Casazza. The Big 12 has no intention of playing a championship game, but are covering thier bases. Very proactive by Bowlsby.

Jennie, I had thought that too about Obama. And amen to that too, Wendy
Unbeleivable. The fact that our country voted into the highest office, someone who sealed just about everything about who he was/is as a person, to find we are now living with an avowed marxist dictating his mandates to us – is just unbelievable. Has America become so confused in who we are as a country? I wonder if very many people have read about socialized medicine in Russia and China — to learn how it will be for us if America becomes the Socialist Union of the United States. It’s pathetic what Russia and China have. I wonder if very many people of color know about and want the standard of living in many of the African countries. There sure won’t be much in the ways of help with financial aide for housing, food, utilities, medical care, education, etc. What is it that people of color want so badly in America that they don’t have now? We all know it’s far from perfect, with it’s slavery/segregation history, but the history is the past and it needs to stay there. We need today to forgive and heal and move forward to a more decent and tolerant society and still remain the United States of America. America is a good country to live in. America still the best that this WORLD has to offer. I’ll end with this, two horrible wrongs don’t equal a right. If our country goes into race riots/protests, like Van Jones wants, starting in May, everybody loses.
Big Jim says: barry hussein has got us on a big twister game board.One foot on debunking our healthcare,one hand on nat’l debt,another on bailouts,while the last leg is trying to digest one of his or his regimes back stabbing lies.Bottom line you’re bent over–your kiester in the air with deadwood democrats right behind you—-need I say more? Thanks for great article
Mr. Bubalo, you have described the situation in America, both economically and politically, in excellent fashion.
Having done more than my share of hill climbing in Scotland, I know first hand how a slippery slope can bring you into a waist deep bog. And in rainy weather, the slopes to scramble up are truly slippery and what awaits the slider at the bottom is either massive stone outcroppings or a deep wet bog.
Will that be the fate of America?
Can we truly overcome this imposter, this White House squatter?
So far, kingO has begun his efforts to seduce our children, the young voters, Blacks, Hispanics, the gays and the lesbians. I shudder to think what his next step will be.
J-M mentions the banning of “dangerous” sports, well, I would imagine mountain climbing and hill scrambling will be outlawed as well!! I’m glad I had my GPS with me every time I reached my goal!!
L
My Heart’s In The Highlands Wherever I Go.
Thank you, Lynda.
Aye. . .As a second generation American whose roots are deep in the Scottish Highlands I echo your reply!! While hiking the West Highland Way, I enjoyed many a morning cuppa while looking out over the thorny yellow gorse and the purple heather. But I am thankful that my grands chose America for their new home back in 1871. But great sadness is there too. One year I drove to Lockerbie to see the memorial of Pan Am 103. And though none of my friends or relatives died that day, it’s like standing at Ground Zero in New York. So much death at the hands of those who have no remorse for what they have done. As a Christian, it is difficult to consider this, but with all of kingO’s genuflecting to his brotherhood, I must agree with Mychal who wrote not long ago, “I say pull our troops out and turn the entire area into a field off glass…”
L
Amen to that, Linda.
Mychal, believe it or not you have outdone yourself. You have packed more into these few eye popping in your face paragraphs than one could imagine. (And I’m sure it will happen again and again as we approach November).
Even if to our surprise and fondest dream we are able to decontaminate the White House and break the strangle hold of the Harry Reid regime in the Senate we can’t claim victory over the disease which has crippled the economy, diluted our moral fiber, and corrupted our exceptionalism to the point that we don’t recognize ourselves anymore which was precisely the intent of those who masqueraded as enlightened saviors and duped even the elect in 2008. The recovery and rebuilding will take a long time and every ounce of fortitude true patriots like you and yours can afford us.
Be assured we are with you, Herman, Alan, Lloyd, Walter, Thomas, and all black conservatives who are fighting the good fight against pressures most of us do not have to endure.
Yes Tsar Obama should have a new handle. BLOTUS. Biggest liar of the United States. And he is abetted by the AG aka the Associated Gnome
Great acronym, Doug.
Makes me want to think up a few more.
Oh, great! I thought I was the only one worrying about something like you suggest. If it’s only me, I could be one of those tin foil hat people and I can reject the reality of what the “health care” bill can be used for. When you confirm it, what then? I have to recognise that the threat is real, and that I’m not crazy.
I also worry that other things will be denied. What about horseback riding? Skateboarding? Rollerblading? Team sports like football? All of these activities place us at risk of injury! In order to protect the taxpayer health care dollars, will the government ban these “dangerous” sports? Will they make us dress up in 100 pounds of “safety gear?”
I’m especially interested in hearing any debates about what activities to ban and/or which to mandate we engage in. Will riding a motorcycle be considered a risky activity or a planet saving one? Will we be allowed/ordered(?)to jog for one mile? Two? After all people have heart attacks during strenuous running… On the other hand it’s heart healthy exercise, get moving! Ban rock climbing to save injuries and nature, or allow it as healthful physical exertion? What’s a government to do?
JM, you just struck a chord chilling and real. We already have diminished college sports by demanding equal spending for men’s and women’s sports. With this came the never ending demand for “equality”, and women allowed in to men’s sports, and in your sporting reference, I can easily see the other side of the coin. Reducing all sporting activities to the least capable person, and wearing special protective gear while they play collegiate dodgeball, with nerf balls.
But don’t worry, all who are really active won’t stand for it, and some of us are preparing for the revolt. We also have to remember, this is not the illegal alien’s doing, he’s just the most enthusiastic one lately, this is the intent of most of those seeking government office, it’s about power, control, and money. We have to be thankful for obama/sotero, because he is like a child with no patience. Had McCain been elected, much the same would have been done, but he has the patience taught by years in prison camp, and the understanding of subsuming a society by the experience of his person being subsumed, or at least worked at very hard.
I have to say, it is only because this illegal alien is petulant, childish, impatient, and full of hubris, that we are up in arms, raising cain over his actions, it is precisely because he is the worst of infiltrators, and has to “do it all, right now” that almost half the country is growing alarmed. I guarantee, war will not be banned.
We are all considering voting this man out of office, but we should be far more considering of the impact of allowing this man’s tenure to be validated by history, by deliberate deceit and his work establishing a foundation for the worst to come. He never should have been allowed through the door without his bona fida’s, he should have been removed for cause when he refused to provide a background which the lowliest Private in any service has to do, and we will shortly be to the point where he is either charged and challenged, by the law, with The People, making the decision by our response, as to whether or not he will be charged, and anyone who thinks the election is straight forward has their eyes closed.
I’ve only been voting since 76, but I have never felt so much belief that the system has been set to assure his win, in all my life, and that is coming from Chicago, where every election is assumed rigged. I truly question whether anyone could possibly win, other than Pee Wee Herman. The fact the votes will be transferred electronically to Spain, where the contractor to count them is established, and there is and will be no means of manually tallying votes, means voter fraud will reach an all time high.
Given what we now know for a fact about both the 2008 election and the fraud, and the 2010 election, coupled with the fraud perpetrated against the State of Wisconsin, voter fraud should be considered grounds for summary execution in my book.
As a retired Marine, I’ve had about three of my votes in presidential elections canceled by the fact they were not counted, because we got our ballots too late, and the counting was done before they got ours, while we were off Africa, or in the middle east. We have tarried too long, we are overdue to rise up against an illegal government which refuses to acknowledge our existence as Sovereign Citizens, claims it is it’s own authority, and tells us it will rule us. The only good news is we still can rise up and win.

Gunny you get Dan & Mychal to sign on and I will be glad
to attack hell with a corn stalk with you guys!
Mr. Obama would be wise to watch his back. He has no real government experience. Once his puppet masters have finished with him they may discard him in any number of ways and take over the reins themselves. I suspect that could have been the plan all along.
Great points, J-M.
Let’s not forget dancing, too…………………………
Always a pleasure, Gunnery Sergeant McClain.
