In case you were wondering what “quickly means” in the mind of President Obama  allow me to give you a few recent (last 48 hrs) examples, you decide:

#1 )  The Senate was forced to vote on New Years Day, at 2:00am, for the “Fiscal Cliff Bill” exactly THREE, count them, 3 minutes after receiving it.   That means they had exactly 1.16 seconds to read each of the 154 pork-loaded pages, and analyze the “budget score“.   (Bill pdf)

#2)  From the Golf Course, by Dictatorial Fiat, President Obama, through the Department of Homeland Security, granted immediate amnesty to current illegal aliens effective March 4th.   […] illegal immigrants who can demonstrate that time apart from an American spouse, child or parent would create “extreme hardship,” can start the application process for a legal visa without leaving the U.S.  […] The change is the latest move by the administration to use its executive powers to revise immigration procedures without Congress passing a law. PREVIOUSLY,  In August, the Obama administration launched a program to halt the deportation of young people brought to the U.S. unlawfully as children.

So what exactly do you expect with his recent promise of “fundamental change” for gun ownership against the backdrop of a new promise to “move quickly”?….

“Something fundamental in America has to change,” said Obama, who visited on December 16 with families of victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings.  (link)

The president said Sunday he will put forth a proposal next year to change firearm laws.  [we now know he plans to have it completed by the end of January – his first month]

Next up, Iranian TV buys MSNBC…. and Al Jazeera will host the 2016 Presidential Debates.   (THIS IS NOT A JOKE)

NEW YORK – Al Jazeera is finalizing a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore and his business partners seven years ago.

If the deal is completed, Current will provide the pan-Arab news giant with something it has sought for years: a pathway into American living rooms. Current is available in about 60 million of the 100 million homes in the United States with cable or satellite service. (read more)

Nothing terribly profound to end 2012 or begin 2013 except a nagging feeling sense that so many people we care about just cannot bring themselves to recognize where this all heads. For whatever reason, and I really don’t understand it, it’s like a punch in the gut when you see someone deny, concede, or acquiesce in the comment section.    I find myself of similar perspective to the face in this artwork.

“Denial” plays a key role in the life of a victim, and those who allow themselves the comfort of non-control within victimhood.  I’ll never be comfortable as a victim, regardless how much people demand. (more…)

Heads up for this aspect:

…”Moreover,  if the EEOC claims that “criminal record exclusions have a disparate impact  based on race and national origin” why should an employer suffer the  consequences of faulty decisions made by individuals?”…

Understand where this is going….. This is Step One…..   If criminal background checks adversely impact blacks or males (race, gender – protected categories) during the employment eligibility process, then it becomes illegal to conduct background checks.    This “disparate impact” test is the same test applied to the concept of school discipline previously outlined.

(Via American Thinker)  On September 19, 2012, the Newark, New Jersey Municipal Council passed Ordinance 12-1630, “which limits employers’ ability to conduct criminal background checks.” The ordinance went into effect November 18, 2012 and “prevents employers with five or more employees who do business, employ persons or take applications for employment in the City of Newark, from asking applicants about their criminal history.” (more…)

Prepare to be uncomfortable.    Today we will share some truthful information regarding the pending Dianne Feinstein “Assault Weapon” legislation.

But first I want to remind you of a specific date:  January 20th 2010.

That was the day AFTER Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown won his historic election and turned the “Kennedy Seat” back to the “Peoples Seat”……..

Everyone, and I do mean “everyone”, proclaimed victory in killing Obamacare, there was no way President Obama was going to get it passed now because Brown represented the proverbial 41st Senate vote against it, reducing the Senate support to 59 one less than Harry Reid needed.

Oh, how joyful, and insufferably naive the Constitutional Conservative, Tea Party, Republican movement was.   As a lone voice, we shouted out then the opinion that it did not matter, Obamacare would get through ‘By.Any.Means.Neccessary’, because we know these people and how they operate, and it did.   On January 20th our little voice was an infinitesimal minority – Everyone thought victory over Obama was at hand.

I think I’m gonna hurl…..   Remember THIS (2010):

[…] The forces will deploy beginning with a small group and grow over the next month to 100. They will ultimately go to Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the permission of those countries.

The president made this announcement in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Friday afternoon, saying that “deploying these U.S. Armed Forces furthers U.S. national security interests and foreign policy and will be a significant contribution toward counter-LRA efforts in central Africa.”  (link)

Story Here  and    HERE

JOLLY JIHADING – Could the release of “Zero Dark Thirty” provoke violent protests against the U.S. in response to the film’s searing depictions of “enhanced interrogation” — the coercive, super-secret and bitterly debated methods used by the CIA against al Qaeda terrorism suspects?

Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow’s acclaimed docudrama about the pursuit of Osama bin Laden opened Wednesday at five theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

The film, an early Oscar favorite, graphically depicts coercive CIA interrogation techniques, including the waterboarding, domination and psychosexual humiliation of a detainee, who is, variously, collared and leashed like a dog, stuffed into a cramped “confinement box” and stripped naked for questioning in the presence of a female investigator.

No, this is not a spoof.   Facing desperate financial struggles, a pending fiscal cliff, the first ever Bond Rating downgrade – which might soon become the first of two – no federal budget for the past four years, dead ambassadors in Benghazi, the middle-east in flames, North Korea launching ICBM missiles, and an innocent Marine sitting in prison in Mexico because the Mexicans are pissed at Obama for illegally and intentionally sending guns to arm their drug lords…but this is a priority?   Since when did the role of government become to control ethnic diversity in chosen professions…think about it.

I kid you not, this has all the earmarks and tell-tale signs of another Pigford Fraud – Just replace “farmers” for “healthcare workers” and switch the “Dept of Agriculture” for “National Institute of Health” and ……    line up for your free checks folks…..  Unreal.

WASHINGTON DC – While the U.S. government commits senseless acts like skimping on consulate security in violent North African countries, it spends $500 million to help minorities—especially blacks—enter biomedical research fields where lack of diversity is “disturbing and disheartening.”

The grand plan was announced this month by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation’s medical research agency. As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the NIH doles out north of $31 billion annually to hundreds of thousands of researchers at thousands of universities and institutions around the globe.

Dear Leader just wanted to send us a media release informing us that “he” wrote his speech for tonight.   y’ know, because, well, it’s not like his ego is all about him or anything….  no, wait.

White House official: President Obama is the primary author of this speech, working with speechwriter Cody Keenan.
