OK, so we may end up actually imposing sequestration - which, by the way, is the product of the White House. Obama and his team created the plan. And in November 2011 he stated in a speech that he would veto ANY bill that would avert the sequester. Now, suddenly, he wants to avert it, says it will destroy the economy, and actually has the unmitigated gall to blame Republicans for this. When, in fact, Republicans already passed two bills to avert it, but the Democrats won't even let them come for a vote in the Senate.
But here is where Obama and his evil minions really get dirty - they are all out on the campaign trail (where Obama lives) using scare tactics on the people, threatening that by not increasing taxes instead of making cuts, the big, bad Republicans are going to get police, firefighters and teachers laid off. And that narrative is the biggest lie the Democrats have told since their lires about ObamaCare.
First, $85 billion is virtually nothing when it comes to cuts - in fact Congress recently authorized to spend $60 billion for hurricane Sandy. Did THAT get teachers fired?
Second, the government, itself, has recognized over $400 billion in actual waste - the $85 billion could simply be deducted from that.
Third, we spend hundreds of billions on non-essential things - instead of laying off a TSA agent, how about laying off that extra tuba player in the Marine Corps Band? But NO, Obama would rather SCARE people, which is all he has done for 5 years in a pathetic attempt to divide and conquer the American people.
The fact is, Obama is the one who would CHOOSE where the cuts are made. And he is saying he will cut essential personnel rather than the non-essential, for the express purpose of making Republicans look bad. Because if Republicans allow the sequestration to occur, and people get HURT by it, Obama gets to pack the House with Democrats in 2014. So, Obama intends to harm the folks, all for political gain.
But that is nothing new for Obama, is it?
In fact, according to a recent news story, Obama plans the following cuts - in Ohio, 350 teacher and teacher-aide jobs are at risk, which means 43,000 fewer students will be served. In Virginia, 90,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed. About 4,180 fewer children in Georgia would get vaccines and, in Kentucky, 400 fewer victims of domestic violence would end up being served.
Did you notice anything? Those cuts in essential services (which are totally unnecessary and by Obama's
own choice) are all made in REPUBLICAN controlled states. Gee, what a coincidence.
Many say Obama is a fool, or simply does not understad economics. But I do not believe that. I believe - and ALL the evidence over the last several years proves - that Obama is a socialist bent on destroying capitalism so the folks will follow him to a socialist state in order to "save themselves" from the havoc wreaked by the "greedy rich." (BTW, it is the "greedy rich" who provide all the jobs, all the products and services we need, and 80% of all the taxes that fund this country).
And everything Obama does is for political gain to serve that agenda - he does not care how much he harms the folks - or America - as long as he can push the socialist "Overton Window" so far to the left that we will never recover. After all, once you provide an entitlement to people, how do you ever take it away?
Anyone who doubts this should review their history - in every instance where the government power grew enough to provide entitlements to the masses, that nation ended up in ruins. Like the Roman Empire.

Now THIS Is Scary!
President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have once again topped the list of the most admired individuals in the world, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted earlier this month.
It seems 30% of the folks admire Obama in spite of his driving the debt up to $17 trillion; in spite of passing $1 trillion in NEW taxes via ObamaCare; in spite of NOT addressing jobs or the economy for 4 years; in spite of having not kept any of his promises for closing GITMO, or immigration reform, or jobs; in spite of not leading; and in spite of dividing the country so horribly that almost everyone hates almost everyone else. Hate the rich; hate Republicans; hate women; hate religion; hate those who choose not to join a union. Hate, hate and more hate.
And 21% of the folks admire Hillary Clinton, in spite of how it was her repeated bungling that got our ambassador and three others tortured and murdered; in spite of finding a never-ending line of excuses to not address the Benghazi tragedy she caused; in spite of refusing to provide the security requested, resulting in those murders; and in spite of her being completely AWOL every time the Secretary of State was needed somewhere - once, when she was sorely needed, she was "too busy in her schedule" at a wine tasting event in Peru. Much like Obama being too busy on Meet The Press to actually be busy doing his job and sitting down with Congress to resolve the problem.
The two LEAST admirable people in America are admired by 20-25% of "the folks".
But not to worry TOO much - after all, those same pollsters show that 20-25% of Americans consider themselves far-left liberals. So, we KNOW the poll is rigged when there are so many people to choose from. Bear in mind, 70% DO NOT think obama is the most admired, and 79% do NOT think Clinton is the most admired.
And that's the REAL story here, folks, not the slanted story the liberal media is painting. But we'll allow the lamestream media to have what they incorrectly see as a victory. Let them revel in the fact that so few actually admire the fools they elected. The rest of us know that the vast majority do NOT have Obama or Hillary on the top of their "admired" list.

Time To Hold Congress' Feet To The Fire
Nothing gets done in Washington because We, The People, allow Congress to do nothing. It's time we took control. And it is as simple as contacting your Congressional Representatives and Senators and telling them point blank you will NOT vote for any politician who refuses to do the following:
1) Enact legislation that mandates, under penalty of law, that any bill passed in one chamber MUST be voted on in the other chamber within 60 days. No one person (i.e. Harry Reid) can thwart the will of the people by simply refusing to put a bill up for a vote. The House passed 32 bills that Reid refuses to bring up for a vote in the Senate - he fears his Democrat senate may actually pass some.
2) Unless incapacitated by a physical or mental issue, EVERY elected Representative and Senator WILL be in their respective seats when issues are voted on, and WILL vote on each measure. If any official fails to show up to do their job, they forfeit their job.
3) Any representative or senator who fails to comply will be immediately impeached for failure to comply with the Oath of Office, and will not be allowed to run for any other national office or accept any political position with national implications for at least 5 years. Furthermore, anyone who violates these tenets will forfeit any further payment, including salary, benefits and pension from the position the individual was impeached from.
Time to get serious, folks! If you care about America, regadless of your party or ideology, you owe it to yourself, you family and your country to REQUIRE that your elected officials do the job they are being paid to do. If you fail to do your part, you have no complaint when Congress fails to do theirs!

Liberal Judges Tear Down 1st Amendment
Now that a preponderance of "low information voters" have re-elected Barack Obama and other far-left liberal democrats, their machine to destroy the Constitution is crunching forward.
The Bill of Rights in the Constitution list several of the GOD-given rights that EVERY citizen has. Every single one of us. So, when the Constitution states, "Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, OR prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." it means that every individual has a God-given right to exercise their freedom of religion where and when they choose, without any interference from government.
But that has not stopped the liberal progressives from trouncing on our rights. In ObamaCare, the liberals mandate that everyone is subject to paying insurance premiums that pay for abortion, birth control and other things that violate the religious beliefs of many. They claim, contrary to the Constitution, that "only churches and religious organizations" are safe from government interference, and that the rest of us are not protected under the 1st Amendement.
In reference to a decision against Hobby Lobby, U.S. District Court judge Joe Heaton (I use the term "judge" only as a technicality - he has no right to be a judge) said churches and religious organizations have constitutional protection from birth-control provisions, but others do not. It appears this "judge" believes Constitutional protections only belong to a select few, and not to everyone.
He was recently backed up by a decision put forth by uber-liberal Justice Sotomayer who refused to grant Hobby Lobby an injunction to protect their religious freedom, and Hobby Lobby now faces being fined up to $1.3 million dollars for any failure to comply with the new, unconstitutional law.
This is the way of liberals - they hate the Constitution because it gets in the way of their socialist agenda. In fact, since the Constitution is the backbone of America, they must also hate America. And they will stop at nothing to destroy both, a little piece at a time, through the courts upon which liberal "judges" sit.
Frankly, I think it is time to clean house, while we still have one to clean.

Political Dynasties In America?
Dynasties of any kind are wrong, simply because leaders should have leadership ability, not just a name associated with a past leadership. But I have noticed that liberals appear to be contemplating setting up political dynasties here in America.
In case you have not noticed, Ted Kennedy Jr is contemplating a Senate run based not on any ability, but simply because his father had been a powerful Senator. And there are rumors that Michelle Obama, with no real experience is being eyed for a Senate seat in Illinois.
I can remember a time when a politician had to make the grade on his own, by proving his ability to lead. But among liberals, leadership plays no part in their ascent to the throne. After all, other than being a "community organizer", and a Senator who, for his 2 years in office only voted "present", what leadership ability or experience did Barack Obama have?
And Michelle has even less. As for Ted Jr., what has he EVER done?
Voters beware - there are usurpers among us!

How To Protect Our Children In Schools
OK, so a few deranged maniacs, knowing they can attack schools safely (because they are "gun-free zones") have set out to kill our kids. Liberals want to ban "assault weapons", which was tried for 10 years without any effect. The NRA says hire armed security personnel at a staggering cost to taxpayers.
Here are some (better?) ideas:
1) First and foremost, all entrances to the building should be secured at all times. Easy to do at a minor one-time expense
2) The door to every classroom should be bullet-proof, and locked from the inside at all times. When the bell rings, the locks are automatically disengaged long enough to allow exit/entrance to the room. The "inside" lock allows for emergency exiting. A small one-time cost
3) At least one school administrator should be required, as part of the job, to be professionally trained in the use of a handgun, and to carry the handgun at all times during school hours. There would be no "staggering cost" to taxpayers - the administrator is already being paid for their job. This would simply be a new job responsibility. There would be a small one-time cost for training.
I'm sure these ideas can be fleshed out more, but this provides some reasonable food for thought.
