Obama's Buddy Bill Ayers on Ending Capitalism

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/bill-ayers-i-get-up-every-morning-and-think-today-im-going-to-end-capitalism/

From TheBlaze:

"I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference,” Ayers said in a video clipposted online. “Today I’m going to end capitalism. Today I’m going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I’m back to work tomorrow, and that’s the only way you can do it."

As I have noted on an earlier post,( I will provide excerpts below) the Left is no longer hiding anything. They are operating with battle colors uncased and blowing in the breeze. The man who by all accounts was the most instrumental in launching Barry's political career is a bad guy, a really bad guy. A more accurate assesment of the man is that he is garbage. He has been so since his days of criminal terror with the Weather Underground. 


http://theobamafile.com/_associates/BillAyers.htm

You know, Bill Ayers was just some guy from the neighborhood or something like that. The above link will lead one to think otherwise, though.

Groups like these fall more into the category of Khmer Rouge or Maoist types  than Stalinist; they work to tear society apart, including its very foundation, and start from there - Year Zero*. Ironically, they never express any intention of leaving the places or societies that they supposedly detest so much. There are all kinds of places to which a Marxist can go if he really wants such a life. The US, unlike Marxist states, indeed is not known for refusing to let people leave. In fact, if the US Left campaigned to demand that the US finance the departure of every single person currently legally residing in the US who desired to relocate to a Marxist nation, I am reasonably certain that those who actually are American at heart would wholeheartedly support this expense. "Guys, here's x amount of dollars in cash. Have a safe trip and good luck in your new home. Knock yourselves out." 

They will never do such a thing because they are not concerned with their ability to live in a Marxist society. What they want to ensure is that you do not get to live in a society that is not Marxist. It is a hateful and spiteful mindset. It has been that way with Western Marxists, especially those of the US, for almost as long as they have been around. They remind me of the kid who is not really concerned about what toy or piece of cake that he or she has, but what item the other child has. They just can't stand anyone being even moderately happy and will do whatever they can to take your small slice away from you. They just can't leave anyone alone and in peace.

In remaining in places such as the US, though, they betray their hypocrisy. They don't want to live in a classless society - they want you in that position while they get to be the bosses and reap the benefits of being in charge. They want to bring you and yours back to Year Zero, a classless, state-planned culture and system in which you have no say in anything; family planning, education, property, free speech, etc. Ayers and his boys (and girls) though, have very intention of remaining  at the top, ordering everybody about and enjoying a considerably higher standard of living than will be allowed to the rest of us. Why not? They deserve it for doing so much of the preparatory work. 

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(political_notion) 
"The idea behind Year Zero is that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch. All history of a nation or people before Year Zero is deemed largely irrelevant, as it will (as an ideal) be purged and replaced from the ground up. "


Excerpts from a similar post a while back. The main topic was a TV series. "Good Christian B----S Belles"

"The Left is an impatient animal. They shot their bolt* big time back in the 60s and 70s with riots, vandalism, and bombings and failed. Their next strategy was "immeasurably more sophisticated" ** and produced more concrete results. In taking over the Halls Of Academia and the public schools, working to indenture generations-worth of vast swaths of the population into the welfare state, and slowly but surely turning the Democratic party to be a Marxist-driven machine, they have come very close to victory. So close did they come, that they felt sufficiently confident to bring their ultimate candidate to the highest office in the land, where that man promptly began putting into place the foundations of a Marxist superstructure in order to supplant the system of property, freedom, and all the good stuff for which so many sacrificed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

The result was a disaster for the nation, but, more importantly, for the Left too. The hue and cry that has risen as a result far exceeded the expectations of almost all concerned. Those who believe in our nation and its principles, though they still know that we are far from being out of the dark, can at least know that they are not alone. The Left, supremely confident that the good guys would just meekly accept their new lot and proceed with caution to protect what they have at hand, have watched their opponents come very close to rising up in full revolt.

The Left is frightened. They are running scared. Why else would they feverishly be putting all this effort into shows such as All-American Muslim and Good Christian B-----s Belles? They are blowing up bridges to hold up the onslaught of, in the words of Colin McEvedy, when describing the surge of the armies of revolutionary France, "forces thought incapable of defense". Again, in McEvedy's words, instead of the forces of Europe being "amazed and alarmed", it is the Left that is realizing that they committed to a full-scale offensive too early. They are close to panic mode. They use venomous, vulgar, filthy, language when speaking about Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, the Tea Party, and others. Older congressmen, thought to at least avoid such talk like the plague even while joining in on the frantic denunciations of the good guys, have also used the filthy phrase "Tea Bagger" - one that would earn my son a slap if I heard it spewed from his mouth. Radical feminists are trapped - they have no choice but to celebrate when Bill Maher employs terms that terribly demean all women while knowing all the while that young people too will hear or know what he said.

I know that this is hard, but there is cause to rejoice in this pogrom against all that it good. Many are not aware of the example of the Greek communists in the days after WWII. Their forces conducted a guerrilla war with successes sufficient to convince them that their time had come. They began to commit to a conventional conflict before they were ready and before their opponents had been beaten and demoralized. They lost and were forced to retreat into the Marxist world of starting over again at the grass-roots level.

The Left is, like the Wehrmacht, about to lose the entire Sixth Army at Stalingrad (Yes, in this example we are the Soviets). They pushed too far, too much, and too quickly. Now is the time for a major counter-offensive. Like a boxer that has punched himself out, his opponent must unleash well-placed and timed jabs and combinations while the other guy is still winded. We cannot allow the Left to regain their collective (Pun intended) breath.

We must remain active, assertive, and focused. Bring all the doings of the Left into conversation with others, write about these to your Congressmen, contact your local Tea Party, and make sure all whom you know are fully aware that they need to vote in November. We are one Supreme Court opening left from a total Judicial takeover of our society by the Left. If Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, or Kennedy, reach a point in the next few months where they cannot continue in their positions, Obama gets to appoint Leftist number five to the SCOTUS and it will be effectively over. If Obama wins in November, he gets another four years to wait for an opening.

We need to, like our Founding Fathers, do all that we can to fix things before they are beyond repair. Only in doing so will we then be justified when, in the event that the Federal government has fully become an arm of the Left, we stand up in defiance. Like Churchill said when the British Lion looked beaten, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.". If we fail in our efforts at this critical juncture, we may have no choice save for acts of nullification and, God help us, secession. Like those who drafted, voted on, and signed our Declaration of Independence, we have to be able to demonstrate that we have done all that we could to remedy the situation before we take such steps.

*Shooting a bolt refers to the use of a crossbow. Unlike a bow and arrow, which can be fired several times in a minute, a crossbow takes much more time to pull back the firing string and set the bolt (arrow) in place. A crossbowman, if close to the enemy, has one chance for a shot.

** I am obviously on a Colin McEvedy kick today. I love his choice of words. This too is a quote from one of his works. It refers to the war between Rome and Phllip V of Macedon. The full quote is "Phillip marshaled his phalanx but the Legions he had to face were immeasurably more sophisticated than those that Pyrrhus [King of Epirus] had routed a century before" [While campaigning against Rome in Italy]

Assault Weapon Can Prevent Attacks and Save Lives -

http://www.khou.com/news/crime/Burglary-suspect-shot-by-15-year-old-son-of-deputy-97430719.html

This report is from 2010 but, due to the advantage that Progressives are taking in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, it has made its way back into recent news searches.

These accounts are almost always ignored by the mainstream media. The sheer volume, both of events such as these and the ultra-conspicuous absence from news reports, point to one conclusion.

The Left will work night and day to publicize crimes committed with firearms  but will ensure that lives saved by the use of the same will be buried.

The weapon used in this instance was a civilian model AR-15. The use of the word "civilian" is admittedly superfluous, but many people think that militarily personnel are also issued AR-15's. In fact, the military issues M-16's and M-4 carbines, which are selective-fire weapons and can be operated in semi-automatic and an automatic three-round burst mode. Contrary to the false definitions foisted upon us in the early 90's, the AR-15 is not, and never has been, an assault weapon. Unlike the AR-15, the latter two can be classified as assault weapons.

The young man was faced with a situation that, unlike far too many places in the world, is experienced only by a tiny fraction of Americans. We are blessed with a largely peaceful society.

This, of course, is not reason, nor is it an excuse, to be unprepared.

In our society, we have far too many people who have no guilty feelings about living in a house that has not a single weapon to employ in the event of a crime. I hold that one who refuses to be prepared in any appreciable manner forfeits his right to enter into debate on this subject.

The criminals, after trying to enter via the front and rear doors of the house, broke a window and entered an occupied dwelling in which the brave soul was home with his twelve year-old sister. Fearing for both his life and that of his sister ( And also likely fearful that she may be raped or kidnapped), he shot the creeps with his father's AR-15.

For those who will, just possibly, entertain the thought of a hunting rifle, shotgun, or handgun in the house but cringe at the thought of a weapon such as the AR-15, the following must be noted:

Rifles and shotguns can be unwieldy in the hands of a teenager or a woman with a smaller frame. A criminal  can approach victim prior to a shot and turn the barrel (Pointy end) away from him. The most common type of sight on a shotgun is the "bead" type, which is simply a sphere-shaped object towards the top of the muzzle. Mastering the acquiring of a target while using a firearm with a bead sight takes a long time. The most common mistake less experienced shooters make with these sights is to raise the barrel up high enough so that the entire bead is in view. This tends to bring the plane (top) of the barrel into view also. When this occurs, the weapon will fire (very) high. Some trainers teach shooters to aim low with a shotgun to get around this problem, but it this does not address the issue. The best advice that I ever gleaned from a trainer was to peer over the plane of the shotgun until only the top half of the bead was in view. While this technique works very well, it is not easy for a less experienced shooter.

The length of these weapons also makes in difficult to move around corners, which abound in homes. Unless the victim can position himself safely at the end of a hallway, the criminal can again seize control of the weapon as the victim approaches a corner or moves into another room.

Handguns take far more training to use safely and effectively than do long arms. The manner in which a handgun must be gripped is much more exact to ensure that the targeted, and not an innocent, is hit.

The following has terms designed for the lay reader:
The recoil of a handgun is substantial for a person with smaller hands. It can cause a victim to miss the target. If the handgun is a semi-auto,  the recoil in smaller hand can cause the victim's hands to be thrown back. The energy of the recoil is then absorbed by the hands and wrists, rather than the weapon. When this occurs, the slide (Top part) does not have enough "oomph" or energy, to be thrown back against the lower receiver (Handle portion)  The result is a spent (Shot) casing from the first round that is not ejected from the weapon and is stuck between the ejection port and the feedramp/barrel chamber when to slide returns to the front of the pistol  (This is called a stovepipe). The malfunction needs to be cleared immediately and takes too much time for a shooter who has not done it many times previously.
I was a pistol and shotgun instructor in my agency for many years. I watched smaller-handed officers experience this time after time. I would not recommend this to any shooter that has not has extensive training, but, to demonstrate to the officers what was happening, I would hold their pistols just loosely enough to absorb some recoil in my hands as opposed to providing a solid base against which the recoil could do its job to cycle the weapon. The result was a stovepipe. Until this is cleared and a new round is chambered, the gun will not fire.

The shorter barrels of handguns also pose another problem for the untrained or nervous victim. If a criminal is able to get his hands on the weapon, the hands/wrist of the victim may be turned. This could cause the barrel to be pointing towards the victim or another innocent while a finger is inside the trigger guard.

For many people, the best weapons that can be employed in the event of a home invasion is either a short weapon such as a semiautomatic pistol-caliber carbine* (Chambered for 9mm, .40 cal., or .45 cal.), or a AR-15 or other civilian-legal rifle. Both types are easy to handle and with which to move. The pistol-caliber carbines are especially useful for home defense as they have a much quieter report (Important in a confined space - especially for a shooter who is not an expert) and the bullets are less likely to penetrate a wall and go into another room. They are not very long and make it more difficult for a criminal to approach closely enough to grab. Due to the longer plane of the weapon (But not too long) and the type of sights on these, they can be accurately aimed in a instant. Unlike the most common shotguns and rifles (Lever/Bolt/Pump-type), the semiautomatic actions  do not need to be worked after each shot. As most of these types of weapons are external magazine-fed, they can be safely kept in an unloaded condition but loaded quickly with several rounds. This is far better than fumbling with hand-loading one round at a time into an internal magazine.
[Added 1/19/13- I realized that I had forgotten to note one very important point; that shoulder-fired weapons such as rifles and shotguns offer the advantage of distributing the recoil onto the shoulder as opposed to the hands. When one uses a AR-15 or another magazine-fed rifle, the operation of  extracting, ejecting of spent rounds and loading of new rounds uses energy (To move the bolt/bolt carrier). This use of energy reduces the amount of "kick" against the shoulder. So not only do these types of weapons offer easier handling and moving, better pointing on target, but also a platform that does not cause pain or discomfort to the shooter. This allows the shooter to be confident that the weapon can be fired without the shock of a hard recoil and makes it much easier to keep the weapon on target after the first shot]

*Carbine refers to a short rifle. Some of these are chambered for rifle rounds, and others for pistol ammunition.

The Left clearly would rather than the boy and his 6th-7th grade sister be rendered unable to stop an attack. They Like this kind of stuff. After all, the more people are killed or raped, the more control the Left can justify exerting on all of us. They tell us that, if magazine-fed semiautomatic carbine are outlawed, school and theater shootings will stop. The people who are victimized in their homes will be nothing more than collateral damage.

Nothing takes away from the horror and grief at the massacre of innocents, but the Left has shamefully assured us that, unlike other regions of the world in which this is common, they will somehow be able to guarantee us that we will never see one of these in this nation again. The sheep eagerly accept such lies.When another does in fact occur  we will be told that this is no fault of theirs and that we need another round of legislation for disarming the people.

Like the young man, I am a sheepdog. People of my type are always on guard for the wolf. We are unable to pretend that we can legislate the wolf away. Those of us who are capable or violence but will use it only in defense of the sheep and ourselves will never allow ourselves to be de-fanged.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/29/on-sheep-wolves-and-sheepdogs/

"......“Then there are the wolves,” the old war veteran said, “and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy.” Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep.

There is no safety in denial.

“Then there are sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed.

Let me expand on this old soldier’s excellent model of the sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. We know that the sheep live in denial, that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world. They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms and fire exits throughout their kids’ schools. But many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kid’s school. Our children are thousands of times more likely to be killed or seriously injured by school violence than fire, but the sheep’s only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their child is just too hard, and so they chose the path of denial.

The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, can not and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours. Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn’t tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports, in camouflage fatigues, holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, “Baa.” Until the wolf shows up.

Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog........"

Biden Lies About Shotguns for Home Defense

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/20/biden-encourages-americans-to-use-shotguns-to-scare-off-intruders/

Not all stupid statements are mistakes - some are outright lies.

Biden claimed that shotguns are easier to aim* than an AR-15 or a firearm with a similar platform. The AR-15 is universally recognized to be a firearm that allows the shooter to acquire a target almost instantly. In fact, this feature is what provides its main advantage over an AK-47, which although a very well-designed weapon, takes more work to aim accurately.

Biden's second lie was that a victim should take a double-barrel shotgun, walk onto the balcony (Outside of the house!) and fire two (both and only) rounds into the yard. Not only does this act empty the shotgun of ammunition (Since he noted using double-barrel types) and renders the victim powerless, but it also leaves the victim open to criminal prosecution. Some states (Like NJ, believe it or not) do not require a retreat inside one's home and thus allow the victim to shoot upon an illegal entry, and some states require that the victim make an attempt to back up, such as against a wall. Shooting outside, especially when the shooter is actually no longer standing inside a house, creates a host of legal problems both criminal and civil. The disgrace of a VP apparently has no problem with an innocent (Even if another victim is sitting in the bad guy's vehicle) or a kid on a bicycle being shot.Warning shots are also illegal in most states.

 [2/21/13 - I forgot to add that multiple projectile cartridges (shot)  are the most common ammunition for shotguns. These projectile "spread out" in a semi-circular pattern. This can also present a problem for someone who may have to shoot with innocents in the area.When I was a K9 officer, we alternated the duties of working with one's own dog and backing up the other dog handler when he used his dog (Following behind K9/handler team but watching on front of them). For years we had used shotguns for this task. At one point, an officer explained why he was supporting changing over to carbines for backup purposes  Although I personally like shotguns, I had no choice but to admit that being able to place a shot where I wanted was a big advantage over sending a cloud of projectiles in the same general direction of a partner and his dog.]

The recoil (kick) from a 12 gauge (Most common cartridge size) shotgun is quite powerful and often too much for smaller and less experienced shooters. Many a young person has developed a fear of recoil (And the resulting flinch -terrible for aiming- that is hard to excise by further training once it starts) and the consequent pain by being introduced to shotguns before they were ready.

The following excerpt is from an previous post of mine on the types of firearms the are best for home defense. Shotguns are covered in detail:

http://thehotgates480bc.blogspot.com/2013/01/assault-weapon-can-prevent-attacks-and.html

"Rifles and shotguns can be unwieldy in the hands of a teenager or a woman with a smaller frame. A criminal can approach victim prior to a shot and turn the barrel (Pointy end) away from him.

Good Christian B---s - Belles Stirs Up the Good Guys Against the Left

http://www.legalizejesus.com/2012/03/06/abc-blasphemes-jesus-with-new-show-gcb/

With All American Muslim having been dropped, we just had to know that something about Chrsitians was in the works.

Admittedly, I am sure that this show was being produced long before A-AM even hit the TV screen (I wanted to write "on the air", but it sounded too anachronistic), but one has to think that, if a show that made Muslims look as good as possible was on the way, then a show that made Christians look as bad as possible had to be just around the corner.

A new show is coming to ABC, Good Christian Belles (The original word in the book by Kim Gatlin, and apparently first planned to be used in the series was B------s ). "Belles" is being, of course, employed in deference to Christians to avoid offending them, (The Left avoids offending Muslims,Christians, and Jews - wait, only Muslims). The gist of the show is summarized here:

"Based on the book “Good Christian Bi—-s” by Kim Gatlin, GCB is about a woman named Amanda Vaughn, played by Leslie Bibb, who returns home to Dallas with her two children after facing marital and financial troubles. GCB’s trailers, ads, and name suggest this series will not be family friendly or even respectful towards Christians.

According to information about the program received by Movieguide, Amanda is a former “mean girl” who has put the past behind her, while her former class mates and victims have not. They are the new mean girls who are as likely to gossip viciously about their returned rival as they are to offer up a humiliating prayer about her in church. As soon as their leader Carlene Cockburn, played by Kristin Chenoweth, sees her arrive she calls her friends, smugly gossiping about how Amanda’s former husband died in a car crash while having an affair with her best friend. Chenoweth’s character then halts the talk saying, “Ladies, it is not appropriate to speak of such things on the phone.” After a pause she continues, “I’ll see ya in church.”

Another clip shows Carlene and her friends confronting Amanda about the moral code of their community. The following scene shows Carlene in an office getting an invitation from a man to “do it.” Turning religious pictures face down, she crawls over the desk, as well as the man, and gives him a heavy kiss. Meanwhile, Amanda’s gun-collecting, shallow mother, played by Annie Potts says, “I feel certain that the good Lord would like me to have a new fur coat.”

Based on the trailers, Amanda Vaughn appears to be the only sane member of this community, and she doesn’t appear to be a practicing Christian. When her mother drags her and her children to church, Amanda tells her mother that she “didn’t raise the kids with any particular religion.” While we all know that there are hypocrites in every institution and every religion, GCB uses southern Christian women as the sole, stereotypical examples of self-indulgence, shallowness and hypocrisy.

Other scenes show young girls being encouraged to wear revealing tops. When one mother expresses concern that her daughter‘s old cheerleader uniform is to tight, Chenoweth’s character tells her not to worry “cleavage helps your cross hang straight.” Later at the game, the football team cheers when the girl’s vest pops open."



Many, including the author of the post quoted here, are all for boycotting, protesting, and writing letters and petitions to the producers and ABC to have this show removed from the air (Sorry, I could not resist). Although I respect their opinion and encourage anyone who is rightfully offended by yet another example of denigrating those who comprise a major share of what is American culture to get involved, I see this from adifferent angle. While I too am aggravated beyond measure at the manner in which Christianity is mocked and derided by the Left, and both depreciated and ignored by Obama, I see a good thing here.

The Left is an impatient animal. They shot their bolt* big time back in the 60s and 70s with riots, vandalism, and bombings and failed. Their next strategy was "immeasurably more sophisticated" ** and produced more concrete results. In taking over the Halls Of Academia and the public schools, working to indenture generations-worth of vast swaths of the population into the welfare state, and slowly but surely turning the Democratic party to be a Marxist-driven machine, they have come very close to victory. So close did they come, that they felt sufficiently confident to bring their ultimate candidate to the highest office in the land, where that man promptly began putting into place the foundations of a Marxist superstructure in order to supplant the system of property, freedom, and all the good stuff for which so many sacrificed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

The result was a disaster for the nation, but, more importantly, for the Left too. The hue and cry that has risen as a result far exceeded the expectations of almost all concerned. Those who believe in our nation and its principles, though they still know that we are far from being out of the dark, can at least know that they are not alone. The Left, supremely confident that the good guys would just meekly accept their new lot and proceed with caution to protect what they have at hand, have watched their opponents come very close to rising up in full revolt.

The Left is frightened. They are running scared. Why else would they feverishly be putting all this effort into shows such as All-American Muslim and Good Christian B-----s Belles? They are blowing up bridges to hold up the onslaught of, in the words of Colin McEvedy, when describing the surge of the armies of revolutionary France, "forces thought incapable of defense". Again, in McEvedy's words, instead of the forces of Europe being "amazed and alarmed", it is the Left that is realizing that they committed to a full-scale offensive too early. They are close to panic mode. They use venomous, vulgar, filthy, language when speaking about Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, the Tea Party, and others. Older congressmen, thought to at least avoid such talk like the plague even while joining in on the frantic denunciations of the good guys, have also used the filthy phrase "Tea Bagger" - one that would earn my son a slap if I heard it spewed from his mouth. Radical feminists are trapped - they have no choice but to celebrate when Bill Maher employs terms that terribly demean all women while knowing all the while that young people too will hear or know what he said.

I know that this is hard, but there is cause to rejoice in this pogrom against all that it good. Many are not aware of the example of the Greek communists in the days after WWII. Their forces conducted a guerrilla war with successes sufficient to convince them that their time had come. They began to commit to a conventional conflict before they were ready and before their opponents had been beaten and demoralized. They lost and were forced to retreat into the Marxist world of starting over again at the grass-roots level.

The Left is, like the Wehrmacht, about to lose the entire Sixth Army at Stalingrad (Yes, in this example we are the Soviets). They pushed too far, too much, and too quickly. Now is the time for a major counter-offensive. Like a boxer that has punched himself out, his opponent must unleash well-placed and timed jabs and combinations while the other guy is still winded. We cannot allow the Left to regain their collective (Pun intended) breath.

We must remain active, assertive, and focused. Bring all the doings of the Left into conversation with others, write about these to your Congressmen, contact your local Tea Party, and make sure all whom you know are fully aware that they need to vote in November. We are one Supreme Court opening left from a total Judicial takeover of our society by the Left. If Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, or Kennedy, reach a point in the next few months where they cannot continue in their positions, Obama gets to appoint Leftist number five to the SCOTUS and it will be effectively over. If Obama wins in November, he gets another four years to wait for an opening.

We need to, like our Founding Fathers, do all that we can to fix things before they are beyond repair. Only in doing so will we then be justified in when, in the event that the Federal government has fully become an arm of the Left, we stand up in defiance. Like Churchill said when the British Lion looked beaten, "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.".

If we fail in our efforts at this critical juncture, we may have no choice save for acts of nullification and, God help us, secession. Like those who drafted, voted on, and signed our Declaration of Independence, we have to be able to demonstrate that we have done all that we could to remedy the situation before we take such steps.

*Shooting a bolt refers to the use of a crossbow. Unlike a bow and arrow, which can be fired several times in a minute, a crossbow takes much more time to pull back the firing string and set the bolt (arrow) in place. A crossbowman, if close to the enemy, has one chance for a shot.

** I am obviously on a Colin McEvedy kick today. I love his choice of words. This too is a quote from one of his works. It refers to the war between Rome and Phllip V of Macedon. The full quote is "Phillip marshaled his phalanx but the Legions he had to face were immeasurably more sophisticated than those that Pyrrhus [King of Epirus] had routed a century before" [While campaigning against Rome in Italy]

Obama Will Aid anti-US Terror Groups

Navy Yard shooting brief:

Well, the Left and their sheep allies shot their bolt again, but to no avail. Dashing their hopes of another reason to ban semiautomatic rifles (and whatever else on their wish list), was the revelation that the shooter did not bring an AR-15 or other type of magazine-fed semiautomatic rifle. There can no longer be any doubt about what they want - their goal is to restrict the People from anything anything other than hunting rifles and shotguns and maybe a few firearms popular for target shooting. Just as in the UK, the attack on these will follow shortly after.

Also, it appears that the Navy Yard had private contractors for base security. Great, now we have mercenaries in addition to militarized cops controlling our troops and keeping them locked up, unarmed, and unable to help us.

It is a sad irony that the one great fear of many of our Founding Fathers - the standing army, is now seen by many American citizens as our only hope against a totalitarian  takeover of the US.

 I don't like the idea of such a dangerous precedent -  Sulla's march into Rome (among other things of course) spelled the end of the Rule of Law in the Roman Republic, but even that last hope is fast being negated as a possibility. Although he knew that the would-be participants had legitimate grievances Washington nipped the Newburg Conspiracy in the bud because he foresaw the direction such a move could take us. A decisive move by DHS and other attached and willing law enforcement personnel (maybe also private contractors) could well lockdown a base, its personnel, and critical equipment in the blink of an eye.

This is sickening.

Smarting from his defeat and at the hands of just about the entire world - with Russia of particular note, Obama has now lifted the legal restrictions on proving arms to rebels groups that would otherwise be illegible for aid due to their terrorist activities. He will now no longer maintain the charade of "vetting" Syrian rebel groups to direct weapons to "moderate" groups. The spiteful child has decided that he is going "whole hog" and will provide arms and other aid to any group that fights against the Syrian government.

Let's be clear - the government of the United States will now arm Al-Quaeda and Al-Nusra types.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/obama-waives-ban-on-arming-terrorists-to-allow-aid-to-syrian-opposition/article/2535885

http://www.infowars.com/obama-waives-ban-on-arming-terrorists-to-allow-aid-to-syrian-opposition/

President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

Some elements of the Syrian opposition are associated with radical Islamic terrorist groups, including al Qaeda, which was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., in 2001. Assad's regime is backed by Iran and Hezbollah.

The president, citing his authority under the Arms Export Control Act, announced today that he would "waive the prohibitions in sections 40 and 40A of the AECA related to such a transaction."....."
Make no mistake - to topple the Syrian government, Obama will not mask his intentions behind even the most sheer of veils; we will send weapons to groups that would-  tomorrow morning, use them against the US if they did not have something else going on at the moment.  
We are now looking at a situation that Glenn Beck noted falls within the definition of Treason as specified  in the Constitution of the United States. Beck tempers his words and carefully suggests the possibility but I say that it is a done deal that he crossed the line:

“Just so we are all clear on this, let me read article 3, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution about treason,” Beck said. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”

[Note that the definition does not provide exemptions for supporting our enemies if they also happen to be doing things of which the President approves]    

[Referring to past suggestions of possible Treasonous acts of Obama] "...........“But by him waiving this law, he has admitted that he knows he is giving aid and comfort to a global terrorist organization, because there’s no other reason to waive that law!”

“This president, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and John Boehner, and anyone else who stands for giving aid and comfort, military support to Al Qaeda in Syria, should be impeached,” Beck declared. “Notice there’s Republicans and Democrats, so it’s clearly not about party.”.......

Beck noted that the president can waive the law and engage in military action if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was determined to be an immediate threat to the United States — but the president made it very clear that he is not in an interview with CNN...."

We must note that the Framers of our Constitution were very careful in how they worded the meaning of the charge of Treason. In England, there had been a history of employing that charge for actions that would stretch the word treason to mean far more than that which we would expect. The Framers would have none of that - they made sure that Treason was clearly defined so that only knowingly-done acts, such as those which would clearly cause grievous harm to the United States and.or its People, could bring that charge.

My head is spinning along with the turning of my stomach. Only is our current society could even the most Manchurian of candidates even give this move a second thought; the expected outcry from the people would be enough to make one forget the entire thing. the In decades past, the very attempt to make such a move would only be done with the utmost of secrecy. Obama senses that the People have grown so fearful of losing what they have that he can publicly state his intentions to commit a clearly treasonous  act.

By this act, Obama will again risk getting the US involved with a war with nations such as Russia. Unless he decides to let Obama demonstrate his willingness to bring harm to the nation that he "leads", Putin understandably will not sit by idly while the Syrian government is beset by rebels groups that have been armed to the teeth without even the formality of first being asked if they are nice guys.

I am quite finished with mere calls for action. The People must cry out that this must be stopped and that at least preliminary steps be taken to follow the procedures for Impeachment as outlined in the Constitution. 

As citizens, we don't have the right to ignore this act or restrict our actions to complaints to our elected officials, 

We are obligated to legally alter or abolish what has become an inherently illegal presidency. 

Years from now, young people will ask their elders what they did in response to what is being done to our country. I don't plan to tell them that I just went on with my life and did nothing.
