This was my very first post on this thread. Prescience is my middle name. Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - 10:33 am: Don't fall asleep as Obama can win the 2012 election. The Left and Leftier crowd will vote for him regardless of the criticism they hurl at him right now. Blacks will vote for him simply because he is black as they did in 2008. The Center and Right crowd might NOT vote for the Republican candidate if they persist in their religious claptrap (ie: God was responsible for Hurricane Irene as punishment). Even if this tingles the religious right, this turns most Conservative voters off big time. I liked Bachmann until she went batsh*t crazy with her religious viewpoints. I will probably withhold my vote if she wins the nomination. Obama can win. Easily. | ||

What guns? | ||

This is a great video. In a very bad sort of way. | ||

All those guns you used to have, that were lost in that lake somewhere in that tragic boating accident. It's a shame you can't even remember what lake it was. Gun owners aren't very bright after all, who could expect them to remember that kind of detail? | ||
| Sifo |
Oh, I remember the lake. Lake Michigan. They can look for them if they like. | ||

Barack has announced today he will announce tomorrow his announcement Friday that he will reluctantly only because Congress won't give him what he wants...... amnesty. Next month your tax dollars will pay for plane tickets for the relatives from multiple American countries to come live with their newly "legal" kin. State Dept. That was previews by Biden. Next year the Senator from NY will give an impassioned speech how unfair it is the new Americans don't have free health care and the vote. By Feb. That will be the new Executive Action. | ||

In one hour Obama will announce he is a third world dictator. Next month the flights to bring in more undocumented voters begins. On your dime. The next month we will give free college and health care to the now documented voters. ( who will still be illegal ) The month after that I will declare myself a new documented illegal so I can get my PhD for free. A week later I will be deported by the R Senate in retaliation for rude comments about them I made here. ..... then Ireland will refuse to take me and I will be at Guantanamo Bay...........indefinitely. Have a nice day. | ||

So lets say that you were an illegal alien that just got his illegal, temporary amnesty. Do you run out and get yourself documented as an illegal alien here in the US? What happens when this imperial edict gets overturned? Can you simply undocument yourself again? What happens to you? | ||

Basically, what I'm asking is how secure do you now feel? | ||

Yeeears ago, My ex-wife had a stroke, it was discovered while we were out of town, also out of network as I was told by the hospital administrator and that I would have to pay for all treatment and I had to sign some sort of document stating I knew and I would be liable, I knew that my insurance would cover it, so I looked at the guy, cocked my head and said, "No habla Engles" the jerk knew what that meant and left us alone, and we got a room and treatment. | ||

This is the INSANITY of the left. With a remark like this, clearly it's not about what's best for our nation, but how to punish Republicans. I've been fairly convinced of this for over a decade now. It becomes more and more clear with each passing year. Now they are brazen enough to state it explicitly. Republicans had it coming. | ||

Funny thing. My Bro-in-law is a cabinet maker by trade. He has worked at a place that builds supermarket checkout counters for many years now. He was making a good buck and was working as a shift lead with employer sponsored insurance. During BO's reign his employer has moved to a different state. Employees were welcome to follow, but at a new reduced pay scale. They filled in positions of those who didn't move with non-English speaking workers. Now they need shift leads that can speak the language of the workers. My B-I-L found himself to be a redundant worker. He has in recent months been able to rejoin working at that same place again. Now he is an $8.00 per hour worker, and employed by a temp agency with no benefits. After all of this, he praises BO because of the supplement that he gets under ObamaDontCare.  I really have zero understanding of how anyone can maintain this kind of support to the socialist theology when this is where it leads. And yes, he is a true socialist through and through. I just shake my head now when he talks about this stuff. | ||

I ask you, is this in the best interest of our nation, or is this in the interest of fighting with the Republicans? President Obama has opened a new front in his hard line against the incoming Republican Congress by releasing more detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, against lawmakers' objections. I'd love to hear from the BO supporters on this crap. I know they lurk. | ||

This is worth reading in its entirety. From the WSJ (11/20/2014), I, Barack The immigration order is an abuse of power that fails as a policy reform. President Obama ’s decision to legalize millions of undocumented immigrants by his own decree is a sorry day for America’s republic. We say that even though we agree with the cause of immigration reform. But process matters to self-government—sometimes it is the only barrier to tyranny—and Mr. Obama’s policy by executive order is tearing at the fabric of national consent. The first question to address is Mr. Obama’s legal rationale. At least he finally rolled out a memo from the experts on presidential power in the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel, but it’s fair to wonder how much time he gave them. The OLC made its justification public about an hour before the speech. The President’s rationale is “prosecutorial discretion,” but he is stretching that legal concept beyond normal understanding. The executive branch does have discretion about whom to prosecute. But this typically extends to individual cases, or to setting priorities due to limited resources such as prosecuting cocaine but not marijuana use. Mr. Obama claims he is using his discretion to focus on such high deportation priorities as criminals, but he is going much further and is issuing an order exempting from deportation entire classes of people—as many as five million. Justice’s OLC memo claims there is no such categorical exemption, and that immigration officials can still deport someone if they want to, but the memo offers no measures by which to make that “complex judgment.” In practice it will almost never happen. The Reagan and Bush precedents cited by the Obama lawyers are different in kind and degree. They involved far fewer people and they were intended to fulfill the policy set by Congress—not, as Mr. Obama intends, to defy Congress. That is why their actions were done with little controversy. Mr. Obama is issuing his order amid furious political opposition and after his own multiple previous declarations that he lacks legal authority. “If we start broadening that [his 2012 order for undocumented children], then essentially I’ll be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally,” Mr. Obama said on Telemundo in September 2013. Until now. While we favor generous immigration, Mr. Obama’s order also fails as policy because it won’t reduce the economic incentive that drives illegal immigration. The only way to reduce the flow of illegal migrants is to offer enough legal ways to work in the U.S. and then return home. His unilateral order will encourage more migrants to come in hope of a future amnesty, without matching the ebb and flow of migration to America’s changing labor market demands. His order also offers no prospect of future citizenship, creating a laboring class with less of a stake in American institutions—and less incentive to assimilate. The politics of immigration is already fraught, and Mr. Obama’s order will make it worse. He is empowering the most extreme anti-immigrant voices on the Republican right, which may be part of his political calculation. Mr. Obama wants Democrats to get political credit with Hispanics for legalization, while goading the GOP into again becoming the deportation party in 2016. Hillary Clinton would love that, which explains why Bill Clinton is already backing Mr. Obama’s order. Mark this down as one more way in which this President has become the Great Polarizer. How should Republicans respond? They can use their own constitutional powers without falling into Mr. Obama’s political trap. Impeachment is a fool’s errand that would change the political subject and fail. The power of the purse is an obvious tool now that the GOP will soon control the Senate, but that will require patience and unity to prevail over Mr. Obama’s vetoes. The best GOP revenge would be to trump him on immigration. Before Mr. Obama’s decree, smart Republicans were discussing a legislative strategy focusing on piecemeal immigration reforms. Separate bills addressing individual problems (border security, agriculture and tech visas) could pass with rotating majorities that show the GOP has immigration solutions of its own. Some bills might get to Mr. Obama’s desk, forcing him to reveal his cynical political hand if he uses his veto to block durable reform. We realize this won’t be easy, especially as many on the anti-immigrant right will want an immediate strategy to defund the President’s order. But another Pickett’s charge up Shutdown Hill is exactly what Mr. Obama wants. Republicans need to keep the focus on Mr. Obama’s abuse of power while showing voters they have better immigration solutions. The polls show the American people are uneasy about Mr. Obama’s unilateral law-making, and liberals should be too. Mr. Obama is setting a precedent that Republican Presidents could also use to overcome a Democratic majority. How about an order to the IRS not to collect capital-gains taxes on inflated gains from property held for more than a decade? That policy would be broadly popular and also address a basic lack of fairness. Mr. Obama’s rule-by-regulation has already been rebuked more than once by the Supreme Court. His “I, Barack” immigration decree is another abuse that will roil American politics and erode public confidence in the basic precepts of self-government. http://online.wsj.com/articles/i-barack-1416531449 | ||

30,000 missing emails from IRS' Lerner recovered
No shit Sherlock! I've been saying this stuff was backed up from day one! My only question now is why did it take so long to get these from the backups? Have they been scrubbing them of anything incriminating. This whole thing has stunk like a dead skunk right from the start! | ||
