Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Interview 4/16/16:

President Obama is fast-tracking the import of Syrian Islamists prior to the end of his administration.  Simultaneous to the State Department’s heightened activity video now surfaces of the Islamists blending their cultural jihad with the nice people of France.

(Via The Hill) The State Department is hoping to bring an average of nearly 1,500 Syrian refugees to the United States per month in order to meet President Obama’s target of settling 10,000 refugees in the country by September. About 1,300 refugees have already been placed in the United States since Obama first made the commitment in September.
That’s far fewer than those taken in by European countries such as Germany, who has dealt with an unprecedented wave of migrants fleeing Syria’s civil war, as well as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. (more…)

“Condescension Bias” is generally most noticed when you recognize and accept the political structures within the U.S. are comprised of private entities (political parties) who approve of, or disapprove of, the voices they allow into their group.

The DNC and RNC are private clubs no different from any other private organization or corporation. Thanks to the 2009 Citizens United decision the funding for the private club shifted from necessarily needing voter support, a source of historical angst, toward unlimited funding from Wall Street interests.
In essence, with the support of the electorate no longer necessary, the club no longer was forced to manufacture the illusion of inclusion. The elites can now be as exclusive as their ideology demands.
As a direct consequence, U.S. Political representation radically shifted from away from giving the impression of a representative democracy – to an open and visible oligarchy of monetary interests who now select candidates. Those corporations now openly set the political agenda for their approved club applicants, the electorate are irrelevant.

…. Thus begets the rise of the Rebel Alliance. (more…)
