WASHINGTON — The Senate on Friday passed a resolution that would fund the government through Nov. 15 and provide funding for Obamacare.
One week ago, the House passed a government funding bill that funded the government through Dec. 15 and defunded Obamacare. Over the vocal and longwinded — 21 hours and 19 minutes to be exact — objections of Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, a majority of senators voted to amend the House bill to include funding for the health-care plan, set to be implemented next week. (more…)

We’ve often talked about the marked similarity between these trying times and the similarities to the time just prior to the awakening in Poland which spurred the Solidarity Movement.
Indeed, in Poland then, just like in the U.S. now, the media was selling one central planning script yet a divergent reality existed in the street – amid the people.
It took the people of Poland to actually walk into the street and recognize they had been fooled. They thought for years their individual desires for freedom and smaller government put them in the minority.  Individually they each believed their government was operating with the consent of the governed.  However, they were wrong.
Once the ordinary citizen made the decision to take to the street they recognized their views and perspectives were actually held in the majority. The media was merely selling a guise on behalf of the centralized governing body. (more…)

McCOOK – Texas Department of Public Safety troopers briefly detained and then released about 20 people suspected of being in the country illegally Saturday morning on a farmer’s land 24 miles north of central Mission, the landowner said.
About 8 a.m. Saturday, Lee Adams said he noticed “a lot of activity” in the brush on his large rural property. He called a DPS trooper, who called for backup. A group of troopers – which included five cars and two helicopters – eventually rounded up a group of people who appeared to possibly be in the country illegally, Adams said.
But in less than an hour, the cars and helicopters scattered, allowing the people they detained to do the same. (more…)

Methinks the crew deeply seated in the tall Corinthian leather wingbacks have decided to take down another Senate Conservative. These are the same ‘pinky off the rocks glass’ Decepticons who soaked the tip of their Cubans during the discussions to get rid of former Conservative leader Jim DeMint.

This is bizarre. At first I thought the tagline, “Al Sharpton Thinks America Is a Democracy”, was just another video poking fun of Al Sharpton for being, well, Al Sharpton. For some reason I watched it anyway, and wow. Not only is the tagline correct, but actually Al Sharpton does not know what a Constitutional Republic  “IS”.
Seriously, no joke. You can tell from the way he is talking about U.S. being a Democracy, that he really is clueless about a Republic. He even makes fun of the congressman for saying “Republic” repeatedly. It’s not because he’s debating the difference between both structures of government; apparently it’s because Sharpton doesn’t know the difference between them – AND WORSE –> He has no idea what a Constitutional Republic means.
Forward the video to 7:40 and watch

D’oh, Epic Sharpton.

Think about this carefully.    President Obama will negotiate with the al-Qaeda Taliban in Afghanistan; he will support the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt;  he has officially engaged in negotiations with Vladimir Putin (Russia) over Syria;  he has proclaimed a diplomatic approach toward Syrian WMD and even Iranian nuclear ambitions,…
….. but he calls any congressional member who would advocate for a balanced budget, reductions in size of government, or fiscal prudence, “Terrorists”.
(Reuters) – President Barack Obama warned Republicans in Congress on Monday that he will not negotiate over an extension of the U.S. debt ceiling as part of a budget battle that will soon dominate Washington, with a deadline fast approaching.

That historic example is the only comparable to our current condition.  A nation of patriotic Americans taking voice to street and recognizing they are NOT in the minority. We are being RULED by a Lefist minority, who are aided by a Leftist Media, trying to disguise the minority view of their anti-American positions. WE ARE THE MAJORITY ! p.e.r.i.o.d
Exhibit Today – Bear Witness: Two Democratic lawmakers in Colorado, including the president of the state senate, were recalled Tuesday in elections. The result was a THUNDERSHOCK to the leftists in Colorado and the mainstream media. A result the Left-Leaning PPP polling firm have admitted they would not report on, because they could not believe the pending outcome.
(Reuters) – Colorado voters ousted two Democratic lawmakers, including the state senate president, in a historic recall vote on Tuesday over their support for tougher gun control laws, handing a major victory to gun rights supporters. (more…)

Obama used to say jobs were the first thing he thought about after waking up,  and the last thing he thought about before tucking in.
If he’s truly worried about jobs, he has a funny way of showing it.

About McDonald’s, $15/hour wages and much more, BigFur shares:

Nothing is a distraction. It’s all part of being fundamentally  transformed. The punches are being thrown in a windmill fashion, and some may  hurt more than others, but it’s the same assault.

I don’t buy the notion that any single issue that burns our ass hairs is a  distraction. That’s actually an insulting elitist charge. It implies that  “you don’t know what’s really going on but I do.”

The people who read  political blogs know what’s going on. The people who don’t don’t care and/or  are Obama voters. Our job is to get them to care.

The “one big picture”  story that the “clued in people know what’s what” posted over, and over, and over  again, is fruitless.

You capture the hearts and minds of people over time when you show them lots  of examples of our destructive march leftward. You never know what’s going to  resonate with the otherwise disinterested. It might be a story about how PETA  is actually more cruel to animals than they let on.

Society, for those beyond their 3rd decade, is visibly shifting.   For the others it’s less identifiable.
The water is warm, very warm, and the sensible frogs know what lies ahead.   The sensible frogs can detect the subtle variance in the slow increase of water temperature.
This shift is a natural, and historically proven outcome, from progressive advancement.  It has existed for as long as man has associated for common aggregation – it continues today.
Nothing about this is new or uncharted territory.
This place, where we are today, has been visited by societies long before the U.S. Republic was formed.
Such is the manner and purpose for our sharing the constructs of safety.    The news articles you sense, and see us highlight, have little to do with the victim or the suspect; nor their intents and purposes.
No, these news articles are shared to advise the acceptance, and stimulate the understanding, that no person should be naïve as to consider themselves beyond the capacity of their family to be the next 3rd page mention. (more…)
