Santorum: Obama leading Christians to the ‘guillotine’

By David Edwards
Thursday, February 9, 2012 10:37 EST

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum warned on Wednesday that President Barack Obama and other liberals are leading people of faith down a path that ends at the guillotine.

During a campaign event in Plano, Texas, the candidate charged Obama had an “overt hostility to faith.”

“When you look and see what the left is trying to do in America today, progressives are trying to shutter faith, privatize it, push it out of the public square, oppress people of faith, strip their charitable deductions away from them, trying to weaken them, churches — trying to say that anyone who believes in the value of Judeo-Christian principles,” Santorum explained.

“As we saw in the Ninth Circuit just this week, that if you believe that [same sex marriage is wrong] — this is what the court said — that if believe that, if believe what’s taught in Genesis, if you believe what’s practiced Biblically and a generation since then you are irrational. The only possible reason you could believe this, according to the Ninth Circuit, is that you are a bigot and that you are a hater.”

He continued: “They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights then what’s left is the French Revolution. What’s left is a government that gives you rights. What’s left are no unalienable rights. What’s left is a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the the guillotine.”

Santorum admitted that the U.S. was “a long way from that,” but if Obama had his way then “we are headed down that road,” citing the Obama administration’s decision to require nearly all private health insurance policies to cover family planning, including female contraceptives.

“Now is the time for America to rise up and say enough!” the GOP hopeful exclaimed.

How Can So Many People be So Incredibly Blind?

A thought provoking essay by Les Visible at Smoking Mirrors Blog entitled "How Can So Many People be So Incredibly Blind?" (subtitled "The Big Ticket Item") .

Dog Poet Transmitting…….

You ask yourself, just how twisted, indifferent and malevolent can some people get before the universe begins to construct an international gallows franchise everywhere there needs to be one. Each day we see unknown wannabees and the usual suspects, vying and competing to see which of them can be registered and remembered as one of the greatest assholes of our time. They’re looking for immortality in all the wrong places, while imagining its location is a suite at The Plaza, followed by a cameo appearance as an ornate urn in the remake of “The Loved One”.

Sometimes, I sit back and ask myself; where are and who are the good guys? Maybe Ron Paul is a good guy, maybe. We are damn well going to see whether he is now or not because he is in the catbird seat for where his caterwauling has led him. I guess I’d like him better if he didn’t sound like a perpetual member of the Vienna Boy’s Choir, which leads me to Dennis Kucinich, as a logical progression, I think. I begin to think the testosterone shortage is ubiquitous until I get a load of Jessie Ventura. He could be the real deal if he doesn’t turn into a TV personality to the extent he forgets what he came here for.

Alex Jones is not a good guy and neither is Noam Chomsky. I used to think that Chicago prosecutor might be good guy but apparently not. Back in the day, I thought Bill Clinton was a good guy, just to show you what a Holden Caulfield sort of callow youth I was. When he got chummy with George, (Hail Satan!), Bush Senior, I got the message. I mostly think Jimmy Carter is a good guy but everyone stops short of telling it like it is and most of you who read here and at the other fine emporiums of what’s actually going on, know what it’s all short of. I’m not obliquely referring to Kucinich here so, don’t think that. Get it? Never mind, cue Randy Newman.

Presidential Lottery to Replace Elections: May the Best Bet Win

Washington, DC - Americans are betting that they can select a better president by chance than by choice. The presidential elections, which were scheduled for next November, have been replaced by the nation’s first Presidential Lottery.

The new rules are simple. “Voters” can buy as many Presidential Lottery tickets as they can afford. Then on “Election Day.” a random drawing will be conducted, with the holder of the winning ticket named President of the United States.

“We were all set to hold elections as usual, until we saw who was running,” said Roger Flanter, Chancellor of the Electoral College. “The candidates all seem to have memory disorders and learning issues. They shouldn’t be in the White House; they belong at the short end of a Dr. Phil segment.”

The idea of gambling to select the next president ironically came from the financial sector, which bet big on the housing bubble and left the middle class to clean up the mess after it burst.

“Those Wall Street boys really know how to rig a game,” Flanter said. “They work better than loaded dice on a tilted craps table.”

Flanter is making sure his group comes out on top by charging a dollar for each presidential election lottery ticket. “The big corporations, labor unions and other special interests are going to want to buy millions, if not billions of tickets,” he said. “Meanwhile, we’re going to avoid all the expenses connected with conducting an actual national election. You can take that chad and shove it. ”

The changes are reflected in a new name for the US Board of Elections, which is now called the US Bored with Elections. The oversight panel also has a new slogan: “The Presidential Lottery: All you need is a dollar and an unreasonable demand.”

To publicize the new system, the Electoral College is soliciting testimonial endorsements from citizens in all parts of America. Here’s a sampling of the initial results:

-- Mrs. Flory Butterfield in Waco, Texas says she’s going to take Air Force One on a four-year global excursion if she wins the presidency. “I’ll be like Bill Clinton,” she said, “but without the cigar.”

-- Billitt Zacher of Columbus, Ohio plans to reinstate the death penalty on the federal level. “I have a few scores I need to settle,” he said.

-- An L. Blankfein, who works in the busy canyons of lower Manhattan, would “putter around the White House, perhaps fixing little odds and ends. Then I’d order up a massive nuclear missile strike. I want to try out as many ways to destroy a country as I can.”

Tickets for the Presidential Lottery go on sale next month. The winner will be notified by mail, if the U.S. Postal Service lasts that long.Washington, DC - Americans are betting that they can select a better president by... more

The Republican Party: The Party of Big Government

http://1lovejoy.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/the-republican-partythe-party-of-big-government/

Ever since I could remember, the Republican Party always accused the Democratic Party of being a bunch of ‘tax and spend liberals’. This strategy continues to serve the Republican Party well to this day. However, those in the know can rebuke this agreement to its core. If you are a conservative, you may want to take a seat before you continue to read this blog.

Since the advent of the twentieth century, almost all Republican administrations’ have expanded the role of government. By expanding the role of government, they raise the national debt to unparalleled proportions. Most people are under the illusion that Republicans reduce the role of government in our lives. However, I beg to differ because I have history and economics on my side.

First, The Reagan Administration ran the deficit up to it highest level. The reason is that he put all the money into defense spending and cutting taxes for wealthy Americans and Corporations. He called this theory “Trickle Down Economics”. This theory states that the very rich will benefit the most which will then give the economy a boost to provide for the rest of us poor souls. Needless to say that history proved this theory a disaster. In 1980 when George H.W. Bush (41st) was running as a Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party (he later became Ronald Reagan’s Vice President) he said that “Trickle Down Economics” was “Voodoo Economics”. How prophetic those words had become because on October 19th 1987, the stock market crashed (the day was soon to be called “Black Monday”). It took two years for the economy to recover. Consequently, George H.W. Bush became the 41st President of the United States and followed the same “Voodoo Economics” his predecessor had created. However, it was those same principles that cost him the 1992 Presidential Election.

In 2000, President Clinton’s Administration cleaned up all the damage that the Reagan-Bush Administration did to the American economy. The Clinton Administration used common sense and cut wasteful spending in all government departments. This truly was the age of a meaner, leaner government that the Republicans always preached about but was carried out by a Democrat. The U.S economy hadn’t had a surplus since President Andrew Jackson (the seventh President of the United States, a Democrat).

The economic future looked bright until the flawed election of George W. Bush (43rd). He inherited a surplus and he spent it just as fast as he could on two wars, expansion of more government agencies, tax cuts, and a bunch of tireless wasteful spending. And before you knew it, we had another record deficit that exceeded the Reagan-Bush Administration combined. Moreover, Bush 43rd Administration failed to do what was necessary to stop the “Great Recession”. In addition, Bush 43rd administration enjoyed a majority Republican Congress that approved all of his budgets with no questions asked.

Recently the American people elected a Democrat (President Barack Obama) to get us out of the mess that we allowed another Republican Administration to get away with. When will the American electorate learn that the real party of tax and spend is the G.O.P. and not the Democrats? As history as a guide, it does not look good for the Republican Party. And I didn’t even mention the S&L bailout involving the Bush Family when Bush 41 was President.

The current Republican Party is good on several issues; fighting the culture wars, starting wars, lowering taxes for the very wealthy and corporations, misinformation of facts, and raising the national debt. In a nut shell, that is the Republican Party. And we, the American Public are to be blamed. When things are good we elect a Republican but when things go shitty we elect a Democrat to get us out of our economic fix. We demand more from Democrats than from the other party in a shorter time. This is totally unfair at every level.

Haven’t we learned anything about the Republicans/Conservatives? They care about their bottom line. They will use whatever tactics they deem necessary to control power and get over on the little guy. Republican/Conservatives believe in the “Free Market”. They do not care if you suffer or get hurt. Wake up America and realized that Republicans/Conservatives think that you are “Suckers”.http://1lovejoy.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/the-republican-partythe-party-of-big-governmen... more

Clinton Snubs Obama’s Millionaire Tax

Bill Clinton undercuts Obama’s economic message about raising the taxes of the wealthiest Americans, telling a conservative magazine the economy must get off the ground first. Just when it seemed President Obama was rallying his Democratic base anew, he still can’t escape the long shadow of his most recent Democratic predecessor.

In an extensive interview with the leading conservative news website Newsmax, former President Bill Clinton undercut Obama’s leading economic message about raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

“I personally don’t believe we ought to be raising taxes or cutting spending until we get this economy off the ground,” Clinton said. In just 23 words, Clinton undercut his party’s current standard-bearer—and Obama’s current negotiating chit with Republicans. And to add injury to insult, the silver-tongued, silver-haired 42nd president with the Arkansas drawl did it in a magazine favored by conservative critics of the current president.

And Clinton didn’t stop there. Seizing upon the political paralysis between the White House and Republicans in Congress, Clinton lectured Obama and Republican Speaker John Boehner, calling for them to put aside their differences.

“What I would like to say to the president and Speaker Boehner is, OK, you both have your deal. Go work it out. Meanwhile, focus on putting Americans back to work because it just confused Americans. Americans lost the fact that whatever you feel about this millionaire surcharge, it won’t solve the problem.”

The White House declined to comment on the record regarding the remarks, but a senior spokesman conceded privately Wednesday night to being surprised and displeased. It certainly wasn’t the first time the elder statesman of the Democratic Party brushed up against Obama, publicly body-checking his successor without offering advanced warning to senior White House staff, as tends to be customary in high-level politics, especially among members of the same party.
