2013 Babbling Buffoons Of Babylon #3

I have terminated my old Anal statement award, the Assie” and decided to do a post occasionally quoting the Babbling Buffoons and their slimy though process…..enjoy….

#6 is fascinating on so many levels…..I will be watching to see if they “gave a revolution and NO one came”……..

1–Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) yesterday called into The Steve Deace Show where he accused President Obama of acting like an emperor on issues like health care reform and the Defense of Marriage Act.

“It’s amazing what they’re saying is covered by Obamacare,” the congressman continued. “If you decide to become transgender you can also get that covered…‘The next time I call your show,’” he said in a high-pitched voice.

2–Leading Iowa religious right figures Bob Vander Plaats and Steve Deace got together on American Family Radio today to discuss potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates and how they can move them even further to the right, as they didin 2012

Deace said that Justice Anthony Kennedy’s majority opinion in the case was actually “an anti-Christian polemic” that he would “expect to be reading…at Mother Jones.”

Vander Plaats agreed, saying that Kennedy had in fact provoked a “constitutional crisis” by “defying the law of nature and the law of nature’s God” and “going against the document that predates the Constitution.”

3–Author Jonathan Cahn has become a star in Religious Right circles over his new book, The Harbinger, which basically claims that biblical prophecy regarding ancient Israel applies to the United States today. Cahn states that the September 11 attacks were a warning from God to repent and prophesied in the Bible. Instead of repenting, however, America is increasingly rebelling against God and Cahn predicts that such defiance will lead to the country’s ultimate destruction.

He appeared on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins yesterday to mark the anniversary of 9/11 and discuss a recent prayer gathering in the Capitol, where Michele Bachmann delivered a Cahn-like speech about how 9/11 and the Benghazi attack represented divine judgment. Cahn also spoke at the event.

4–Tennessee has becomeahotbedofwildSharia lawparanoia, and hucksters like John Guandolo, a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a careerpushinganti-Muslimconspiracy theories, have cashed in.

During an appearance on Crosstalk with VCY America’s Vic Eliason, Guandolo told a caller from Tennessee that his state — which has a whopping 1% Muslim population — is a hotbed of Sharia law and potential terrorism.

“I have spent a lot of time in Tennessee because Tennessee is one of the most dangerous states in the union with regard to this threat, you have some very courageous state legislators who are addressing the threat but you also have some folks there in leadership positions who are not addressing it,” Guandolo said, adding that that Muslim Brotherhood members he arrested confirmed his claims.

5–…………….according to Bachmann, Obama is now championing the terrorist group.

The Minnesota congresswoman referred to a decision by the Obama administration to allow vetted Syrian rebels not affiliated with terrorist organizations to help them resist chemical weapons attacks, which was spurred by the Syrian regime’s use of chemical weapons on civilians.

While the administration’s move is only related to non-lethal, defensive and protective aid, Bachmann falsely claimed that “President Obama waived a ban on selling arms to terrorists.”

“President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition,” Bachmann said. “Your listeners, US taxpayers, are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda.”

6–read this…and you old farts were afraid of what us radicals were going to do….

Larry Klayman is so confident that his “second American Revolution” will be successful that he has already planned a second Continental Congress to organize a new system of government. Klayman will lead a rally in front of the White House tomorrow, where he predicts that people will “converge on and ‘Occupy Washington’ in the millions” and that they won’t leave the city until President Obama resigns or the military forcibly removes him from office.

“Take our Reclaim America Coalition, for instance, which is proving to be a big success. For virtually the first time in modern history, we have assembled a host of conservative, libertarian and other public-interest groups and activists to work together for a common goal: to wage a Second American Revolution and peacefully and ultimately remove the tyrant evil fool in the White House, as well as corrupt Republican leaders like Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. This coalition is unique; for years I had been trying to get these groups and activists to work together, but ego and other cynical calculations got in the way. Now that the country is hanging by a thread, in the words of our great Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, we all realize that if we do not all hang together, we will hang separately under the oppressive and dangerous rule of our government leaders, of which Obama is the snake’s head.

Beginning at 10 a.m., Nov. 19, in the park just across from the White House, Lafayette Park (it is befitting of this French general who helped us whip Britain to gain our independence) that We the People, armed with courage and moral rectitude, as well as the divine grace of our Creator, will begin to fight back against government tyranny. We will not only serve notice that we will no longer endure tyranny from the corrupt leaders who have driven the nation to near destruction, by reading our renewed declaration of independence, but we will speak the truth about what needs to be done to right the ship of state for ourselves, our loved ones and to preserve the freedoms our Founding Fathers and their patriotic hordes fought and died for.

Coupled with this will be the masses who are being called to Washington for this non-violent uprising; we will serve testament to the onlooking nation and world that the people are in charge, not the likes of Obama and Boehner. If wise, the Mullah in Chief ultimately will retire to his favorite golf course in Tehran and the half-sober House speaker to his tanning salon in Georgetown.
Then, when our Reclaim America Now Coalition fires the first peaceful shots at “Lexington and Concord,” we will reconvene some weeks later in Philadelphia, at the City Tavern, which once accommodated the first Continental Congress, the one that gave us the original Declaration of Independence at Constitution Hall. There, delegates of the tea party and other patriots from all 50 states will deliberate, plan for the rest of the revolution and elect a government in waiting, ethically and competently poised to take over the reigns [sic] of a real government responsive to the people.

The Second American Revolution will succeed, because We the People will have the courage to make it so. And, to this end, I command you to join our forces, come to Washington, D.C., Nov. 19, 2013, attend the start of our Second American Revolution and make your voice heard. The time has come for action. The time is over for talk. Let us put both Obama and Democratic and Republican leaders out to pasture, where they can wallow in the manure they have encased us with, and let us reclaim our own destiny free from their political slime, incompetence and tyranny, so help us God!”  (thanx to Right wing Watch for this)……

I am still not sure why Americans are allowing this….you have far more to fear from idiots like this guy than from us so-called “Radicals”……….

What Did They Say?

The missiles are being polished and labeled with cute little sayings and will await the final countdown……..we know that McCain blames Obama for the use of chem weapons…..but what do other notables have to say about the situation involving Syria?

Ted Cruz:

The Lone Star State conservative said Monday that America shouldn’t intervene in Syria in the wake of a deadly chemical weapons attack in the country last week.

“The United States Armed Forces doesn’t exist to be a policeman for the world and I certainly hope the reaction isn’t lobbing some cruise missiles in to disagree with Assad’s murderous actions,” Cruz said on Fox News.

“The focus should be the only justifiable reason for U.S. military forces to be engaged is to protect our national security and sadly, that has been the missing variable from this administration’s approach from the beginning as they allowed Assad to slaughter over 100,000 of his people,” he added.

Joe Biden:

“The president believes and I believe that those who use chemical weapons against defenseless men, women and children should and must be held accountable,” Biden said.

He gave no hints about what “accountable” means in terms of U.S. actions, but his comments came amidst increasing rhetoric aimed at Syrian leaders from White House officials.

Biden cast the use of chemical weapons in Syria as a national security problem for the United States.

“National security is strengthened when we hold accountable those who violate international norms that are the foundation of global security, and ultimately, American security,” he said. “And there is no doubt that an essential international norm has been violated. Chemical weapons have been used.”

Rand Paul:

“Even if you believe we should arm Islamic fighters in Syria, shouldn’t, at the very least, Congress vote on the matter?” Sen. Paul asked of the crowd. “The Constitution is very clear. Congress is to declare war, not the president.”

“Nevertheless, President Obama is moving ahead with plans to get involved in the Syrian civil war, without the authorization of Congress,” he said.

…

“Last week I was told by the administration, you know what their goal is in Syria? To fight to a stalemate,” Mr. Paul said. “I’ve told them I’m not sending my kids or your kids or any American soldiers to fight for stalemate. When we fight, we fight to win, we fight for American principles, we fight for the American flag and we come home after we win.”

“For our country’s sake, certainly for our soldiers’ sake—for the sake of every veteran who ever donned a uniform and fought for this country—America’s mission should always be to keep the peace, not police the world,” Sen. Paul said.

Just a few of the media whores looking for a mike to rant into…….granted a couplke of them will most likely be in the running for a nomination so they need to beef up their rhetoric…..

Keep in mind that this could be the opening salvo of yet another war for the US in the Middle East……..

Oh Yeah,That Darn Pesky Constitution!

Daily we are bombarded with accusations of this or that is unconstitutional….just about everything the Obama utters is claimed to be unconstitutional…….if one mentions the 2nd amendment, then the counter is that whatever is said is unconstitutional, the same with economic stimulus or well the list goes on and on and ………….

Recently the GOP in Congress has introduced a bill that basically says, “No Budget, No Pay”……meaning that if the US Congress does not pass a budget this year then the elected officials will not get their pay.  Personally, I like the idea of no work, no pay but I would like it to be about ALL issues not just the issue du jour…….I have written this often….but as much as I like my idea or the GOP idea there is a problem……..

And what would the problem be?  The Constitution!

But first, what is this all about?

“No Budget, No Pay” was originally proposed by No Labels, a group of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to the politics of problem-solving. I helped found the citizens’ group in 2010 with Mark McKinnon, Nancy Jacobson, Bill Galston, Lisa Borders, Kiki McLean, David Walker and many others. The proposal was the cornerstone of the “Make Congress Work” plan released last year.

Now Boehner has jumped on this band wagon……The House has passed its “no budget, no pay” bill, which suspends the debt ceiling for three months and calls upon both chambers of Congress to pass a budget resolution for fiscal year 2014 by April 15. Under terms of the legislation, if lawmakers miss that deadline their salaries are withheld. That’s where the “no pay” part of the thing kicks in.

And now the constitutional part of this thing…….the 27th amendment to the US Constitution states……..”No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.”

Oops!  You would think that the very person who wanted ALL legislation would be accompanied by a Constitutional verification would do a better job……you would think!

I have called our elected officials morons and idiots and NOTHING they do changes my opinion of them.  If anything….I think less of them………

Song Remains The Same

Remember the day after the defeat of Mitt (BTW he got 47% of the popular vote….how’s that for a bit of irony?) and the movers and shakers of the GOP were backpedaling from Mitt on almost every issue….and an air of optimism began to settle on the political horizon that there would be a move to end all the partisan BS?  Future GOP candidates after candidate began talking smack about being a more all inclusive party if they are to survive.  Even some of thew bloggers that I follow on the Right were singing this song or should I say…were humming the tune?

Now about 3 weeks after the fact, the bloggers are back calling liberals socialists and poking a finger at the MSM for being too biased and then there is Washington DC……slowly but slowly the politicians are returning to the tone that was taken in early 2009.

All the political posturing is back……from Benghazi to debt to taxes to that fav of the MSM, the “fiscal cliff”……..I see the GOP is keeping to the record of a old white guy’s party….their new understanding about women has shown NO progress in their choices of committee chairmen or the need to reach out Latinos…..but I guess patting Rubio on the back at every occasion is change enough for this cycle…..

NOTHING and I mean nothing will change!  Some minor hand holding will be the best we can do as far as bi-partisanship goes….like the most recent situation…….

From the WaPo………

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) don’t agree on much these days, but the two lawmakers released statements Tuesday supporting the measure. Boehner called O’Neill “a giant in the history of the House,” while Pelosi described him as “a legend in the Congress and a bona fide American hero.”

The proposed “Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Federal Building,” which sits vacant on 2nd Street SW between C and D Streets SW, previously housed agencies of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A mix of executive and legislative branch employees will occupy the building when the building reopens in late 2013, following a full-scale renovation that is taking place.

All the hopes for some sort of bi-partisanship is just that……a hope that will not be realized.  Why?  The political song remains the same.

Benghazi Hoopla!

We all know what happen that day a couple of months ago in Libya…..our ambassador was killed with three others in Benghazi……and since that day both parties have run for the nearest mic to get in their political talking points…..a couple of them sound like bitter old men (another reason that these types need to retire at age 70)……..this whole bunch of crap just sounds like political positioning to me…..they ALL want answers….and there should be answers forthcoming….but to my mind….NO one is asking the questions that need to be answered……..

First, Benghazi is a consulate and not an embassy……I bring that up because security is handled differently (I say that basing it on what I experienced in the past, they may have changed)….okay now to the real questions that need to be answered……

1–Why was the ambassador in Benghazi without an adequate security detail?  The ambassador knows this area well and should have known that or been briefed on the volatility of the Eastern side of the country….militias refuse to disarm and that AQ is very active in this area……

2–Why were their two CIA agents that were unarmed with him?

3–Why was there not an adequate security detail on his flank?

We may NEVER know these answers…..why?  My best guess is that it was a top secret meeting and they were trying to show trust…….if so they learn nothing in Afghanistan when a doctor took out the top OBL team with one bomb……if you are gonna be stupid you have got to be strong…….

If the ambassador knew all the pitfalls before hand then what happened is on his head and his head alone……all this Benghazi hoopla is just that…..a lot of smoke….a lot of ginning up by the media….and political points trying to be made.

This whole situation is sad…sad that four Americans died……sad that it is turning into a political tennis match….sad that the running of the country takes a back seat to ambitions…..sad that it appears to be an exercise in stupidity……

This shows me that there is nothing gonna change in DC……..this is all partisan crap….even after all the positive news that both sides were gonna work together…….this illustrates that it is just the same as their campaign promises…..total bovine fecal matter………

Redistribution?

OMG!  We have a new buzzword for the 2012 election!

Poor old Mitt has had a horrible couple of weeks since the GOP convention.  First he got overshadowed by Clint and his “easy chair” then he (Mitt) had to jump the gun on the deaths in Libya and then he made his unfortunate comment about us people who are in the 47%….those who try to exist below the poverty line………in an attempt to change the media’s conversation he made a speech using 100% so many times it became a drinking game….and now he is trying another tact by using the code word…..REDISTRIBUTION………..

But what does redistribution mean?

If you look up the word, redistribution, the definition will read “the act of redistributing”….then look up the word redistributing and you will get “redistribution”……does that clear it up for you?  Thought not!  We could use it to refer to some sort of socialism (which I believe was Mitt5’s intention)….then we would be speaking of reallocating the assets of government to help all society….in other words, redistributing wealth….this is what the code was intended by Mitt….and he uses it often in the last day or so…..and if he says it enough then maybe, just maybe, he can repair the damage of his statement about us low lifes that are moochers (sarcasm, in case you missed it)……..

But if we are honest we will realize that anytime government spends its revenue then it is a form of redistribution….but somehow I do not believe that Mitt intends it in that context.  But in Mitt’s thinking anyone that has to use public spending to keep from starvation is somehow a parasite on society……Mitt is trying hard to dispel that illusion, the statement that is more probably how he really thinks…that anyone who needs government help is lazy or a mooch or a parasite or……..on and on.

It is a bit humorous that all the benefits that the wealthy gets….all the help it gets from government some how is freedom and needed…you know like oil subsidies or bank bailouts or Olympic bailouts (something Mitt does not seem to want to mention) or…well a wealth of programs is also a redistribution….but I am sure that it will not be mentioned while bad mouthing “Those People”, a group that Mitt mentions often.

Side note:  Has anyone else noticed that Mitt, when waiting for applause to subside, gets a facial expression similar to the ones Mussolini use to get?  Just not as exaggerated as those of “Il Dulce”.  Check it out!

Did You Say Freedom?

Contrary to popular belief I do not get angry very often…..but when I do it is usually about patriotism or the use of the word freedom……and especially when it is about veterans and their treatment by the country and/or politicians……

I have a real problem when people use the word freedom too easily…….

Freedom?  A word that is used to influence and confuse.  I have been reading comments on many different sights and it seems that there is a common thread….the use of the word….FREEDOM.  These people imply that they and they alone know what freedom is and that they will defend it with their vote to protect America from other Americans….I find that extremely insulting.  Insulting to the point that they are the sole protectors of freedom and others who think like them and the rest of us are some how enemies of this country……

Thinking differently is not an assault on freedom…..if anything it is a re-enforcement.  But by attacking people that have different thoughts is an attack on their freedom that is guaranteed by the same document that these people use as a prop on every occasion.

While you were warm in your bed…….while you were playing with the kids…….while you were trashing your political foes……..these people were doing what needs to be done……

http://nyti.ms/Ndf8qO 

Browse…..take some time to see those who defend you……..These people took the term “freedom” seriously………do YOU?

Unless you are willing to go through what they go through….then STOP using ‘FREEDOM” as some bullshit political prop!  I am not picking on any one political party….they both are bullshit institutions that need to be replaced by real people doing real work to help this country….so far I see NO one of these dipsticks as anything but self-serving toads…….
