Obama’s Absurd and Fraudulent Defenses Contain a Self Defeating Element of Truth

Listening to and watching Obama as he endeavors to distance himself from the scandals that are engulfing his administration is a hoot -- like stepping through  the looking glass. For example:

*  Benghazi? 

Some other guy was in charge of the State Department, the   intelligence agencies, and the military that failed to protect, or to attempt to rescue our people who were killed there.

*   IRS being used as political thugs targeting groups and individuals expressing disagreement with or opposition to the administration’s policies?

Some other guy is responsible for that arm of the executive branch even though its head is appointed by me and serves at my pleasure.

*  FBI/Justice Department surreptitiously seizing press agency phone records?

Have to admit enjoying the journalice -- who cheer every statist intrusion that diminishes the liberties and rights of everyone else -- squealing like stuck pigs when the government invades their turf.  But, again, some other guy is in charge of those components of the government’s  executive branch doing that.

If the great orator is saying that he can’t control and be held responsible for the activities of his executive branch agencies, it behooves us to replace the ludicrous barack "Some Other Guy" obama with some real and more credible other guy who can and will accept the responsibility and do the job.

On the other hand, there may be a larger truth here as the federal government actually may have become so big and complex, and engaged in doing (or trying to do) so many things with so many employees that no president can control or be held responsible for it.  Think about that – it means that the government, all of its agencies, and all of their millions of employees are out of control, beyond accountability, doing as they please and running rough shod over the rest of us.  The only effective answer to that is to slash the size and scope of the federal government drastically . . . to reduce it . . . restore and restrict it and its activities to the size scope provided for by the Constitution.

Don’t try to hold your breath waiting for that to happen. As long as we have the current American version of the Roman Empire’s bread and circuses – gourmet grub with sports and entertainment for the well off and fast food and video games for the proles – the nation’s complacent citizenry will allow their ruling elites to continue doing business as usual . . . until, that is, the whole corrupt and rotting mess comes crashing down of its own weight . . . and we’re well on the way to having that occur.

What a Team: Big Brother and Dr. Strangelove

Isn't it comforting that they are keeping an eye out for/on us?

Scary Similarity

The warning by America's great orator that the U.S. will not tolerate Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons is beginning to look an awful lot like his having defined the use of chemical weapons as "a red line" that the U.S. would not permit the Syrian regime to cross.

The "red line" now has become a vague blur as the community organizer-in-chief has been sacrificing his (and the nation's) credibility by trying to walk back from his recklessly bombastic statement.

The braying Barack is emulating the doltish Jimmy Carter in transforming Teddy Roosevelt's admonition to "talk softly and carry a big stick" into 

Talk Strongly and Carry a Feather Duster

If you draw a line in the sand, warn an aggressive adversary not to cross it, and then back off when the aggressor does so, what do you suppose the aggressor  is going to do when you draw a new line? 

Keep this up and you eventually just may find yourself backed into a dangerous corner.

Just sayin'.

Is This a Great Government or What?

The U.S. Senate's investigation into the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS will be headed by the senator who urged the tax agency to do just that. See the report here . . . and then ask yourself about the nature of America's current government.

Contrasting Views on Guarding Against Government Tyranny

Who Makes More Sense?

and then there's this from our Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Squealing Journalice

Big Brother keeps a close eye on even his most faithful lackeys

 . . . and even though they approve such surveillance for the rest of us, the establishment journalice don't like it being directed toward them, according to this report. 

Trust the Government

Surely Just a Coincidence

 In the run up to the 2012 election an Obama campaign website called out Idaho businessman Frank VanderSloot and seven other private donors by name and occupation and slurred them as having “less-than-reputable" records." Then, two months later Mr. VanderSloot received an audit notice from the IRS and two weeks after that the Department of Labor informed him it would audit his business.

Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is the guy who told his wife he was going for a hike and then went to Argentina to see his girlfriend. He was exposed as an unethical, lying, cheating weasel. In a stunning comeback, he has been elected to Congress, where he’ll fit right in.
