A confrontational and dictatorial hack; I give you President Obama!



I think sometimes that Obama thanks God after he discovered that you can essentially bypass those pesky old farts in Congress with a device called the Executive Order. And, even though this man has taken and stretched its questionable constitutional use to the breaking point and beyond, it will still be useful until he is ready to take the next step! But, will he??

Here’s the deal. I believe that there is no House of Representatives as far as this man is concerned. Nor is there really a Senate, (assuming you don’t count the dingbatish and Far Left Democratic hangers on who sit there). I can see a time when El Presidente Obama may soon not have any need to tolerate their existence and just perhaps that’s why he’s acting with such aloofness and disdain when asked about the debt ceiling these days. He now wants, no demands, 4 trillion more so he can continue on his mad rampage of insane spending with no cuts in sight. And then, at some point down the road when the ultimate crisis and downfall of our country occurs, our boy will be right there ready to pick up the pieces... Good ol' Obama!

I'll admit that this viewpoint is extreme and perhaps outside the limits of good taste. But, that said, I've never had a President that has garnered so much of my attention! And that's not a good thing. I feel this man to be a great divider at a time in our society when we need someone to brings us together; for in the final analysis we are all on the same team! Aren't we?

Notes on the coming fall!

America – her last days....how soon?

When it will happen, no one knows. That it will happen now seems more certain. What I wonder about the most, however, is not so much about the causes of the coming National catastrophe, but rather what life will be life in a post apoplectic America. What will food and basic services cost? Will there even be basic services? Or, will America be plunged in another dark age whereby men and women will be forced to live brutal and short lives?

Today, in early 2013, the US is still the place many people want to live and grow up! It's still a destination for millions who would like to become citizens. A place where one can enjoy the fruits of hard and honest labor while basking in a very techno-rich and varied society. In America, even in spite of recent changes, you can still find reasonable healthcare services and even if you find yourself dead broke, you are pretty much guaranteed not to starve. The question that arises, is how long will it all last?

Plainly speaking, our country is floating in a sea of debt almost without bottom! Most of us would find it very hard to wrap their minds around a number as large as 16 trillion, but the real story is that amount does not cover our real debt, an amount now estimated to exceed 122 trillion! And while, the country produces as much as 8 trillion a year in terms of GDP, that sum is quickly swallowed by a bloated government that is actually adding a trillion or more on the books over and above what it takes in in taxes. Very soon, perhaps in just a few years, the Fed will be forced to begin hollowing out the Middle class taxpayer as it strives to feed the endless Congressional appetite . Even as recently as last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued this statement in a letter to the President as concerns raising the debt ceiling:

"We believe you must be willing to take any lawful steps to ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis -- without congressional approval, if necessary," the letter said.

This statement hints at the lengths that the Democrats will go to, up to and including violating the Constitution, just in order to keep the spending orgy in Washington afloat a little longer. Such conduct boarders on treason, as far as I'm concerned, although such actions are becoming par for the Far Left vis a vie Harry Reid's warped thinking process.

My advice to all who are reasonable and thinking adults is this: Arm up and stock up cause the shit is about to hit the fan!
