Obama blames Founding Fathers’ ‘structural’ design of Congress for gridlock

President Obama is taking a swipe at the Founding Fathers, blaming his inability to move his agenda on the “disadvantage” of having each state represented equally in the Senate.

At a Democratic fundraiser in Chicago Thursday night, Mr. Obama told a small group of wealthy supporters that there are several hurdles to keeping Democrats in control of the Senate and recapturing the House. One of those problems, he said, is the apportionment of two Senate seats to each state regardless of population.

“Obviously, the nature of the Senate means that California has the same number of Senate seats as Wyoming. That puts us at a disadvantage,” Mr. Obama said.

The Founding Fathers decided in the “Great Compromise” in 1787 to apportion House seats based on population and give each state two seats in the Senate regardless of population. The solution was a compromise between large states and small states in a dispute that nearly dissolved the Constitutional Convention.

The president also blamed “demographics” for the inability of the Democratic Party to gain more power in Congress, saying Democrats “tend to congregate a little more densely” in cities such as New York and Chicago. He said it gives Republicans disproportional clout in Congress.

“So there are some structural reasons why, despite the fact that Republican ideas are largely rejected by the public, it’s still hard for us to break through,” Mr. Obama said.

He also said Democrats suffer from the “congenital disease” of not voting in midterm elections. That would be

So our former "Constitutional Professor" (Bwahahahahahahaha!), and current president has issues with the structure of the US Government. It's so unfair, it's preventing a one rule socialist party, His.

But this shouldn't come as a surprise. State Senator Barack Obama in 2001 complained about the Constitution on Chicago radio during an interview. Obama stated;

"... the Constitution as “a charter of negative liberties,” which “says what the states can’t do to you (and) what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.” 

That would be because the original intent of the Founding Fathers was to limit the Federal government's involvement with citizens lives.

Next he followed up with; 

Obama said he regrets that the Constitution places “essential constraints” on the government’s ability to provide positive economic rights and that “we have not broken free” of these Constitutional impediments.  

This man swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution 9 years later. Obviously he didn't mean a word of it. He didn't run on his desire to change the Constitution. The Constitution allows the citizens of this country to amend the Constitution if that is what they desire, if the majority desires it. It's been done 27 times! 

But Obama didn't run on that. He did run on change and transforming America though he never really spelled out the details did he? He left that up to the imaginations of the lemmings that they had found their messiah. 

Obama views the absence of positive economic liberties that the government must supply as a flaw in the Constitution that must be corrected as part of a liberal political agenda.

Finally, Obama concludes that we cannot use the courts to break free of the limited-government constraints of the Founders. The courts are too tradition and precedent bound “to bring about significant redistributional change.” Even the liberal Warren Court “never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society.”

This interview was available to the mainstream media during the 2008 primaries and election but they never played it.

And this goes back even further; Dictator 

“I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level, to make sure that everybody’s got a shot,” Loyola University, October 1998  

Dictator Now maybe if Obama was the great leader that everyone saw, riding in on a unicorn in their minds, then he could have done his "transformation" these past 5 years through the system out lined in the Constitution. 

But Obama isn't a leader. He's never been a leader. He wasn't a leader in the Illinois senate. He wasn't a Community Organizer, he worked for a couple of years for state senator Alice J. Palmer, collecting voter registration cards and did a bit of legal work for ACORN. Hell, he wasn't even a leader of his pot smoking "Choom Gang".

No, Barack Obama is a second string bench warming Chicago Thug Politician. Bill Clinton pegged him right when he met Obama and told someone that he's not presidential material and that he would be the guy fetching coffee in the White House. But now he is the president. Now he has the power. But he's not a leader. He's a dictator trampling over the Constitution that he holds in disdain. And he needs more power. And he's going to take it unless the people elect brave capable souls to protect and defend the Constitution and restore the Republic to the path that our Founding Fathers set us upon.

What a colossal goat fuck.

Syria

What a colossal goat fuck.

And there is no right thing to do. There's not even much of a choice between lesser evils.

A brutal hereditary dictator on one hand and the "rebels" most of whom have pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda and or the Muslim Brotherhood which means that if the rebels win the next regime will be as if not more repressive than the Assad government. Prudence would say to stay the hell out of there. But then there are stockpiles of Chemical and Biological weapons, (some of which use to belong to the late Saddam Hussein).

Assad is using them in desperation and Øbama has drawn his Red Line. And the world can't afford for them to fall into the hands of Al-Qaeda and other terrorists.

Øbama track record of foreign affairs has been a disaster. Our current Secretary of State is a buffoon, no better than and possibly worse than Hillary if that's possible. The State department is riddled with liberal socialists, incompetence, drug runners, prostitution, visionaries of a new world order that is most decidedly opposing America's interests, our Constitution and sovereignty.   

America is too weary of fighting, especially for a people that is ungrateful, generally hate us and will in the end denounce anything we do and believe us to be the Great Satan.

America is again in the possess of reducing it's military, purging it's leaders and it's undesirables in the ranks, those knuckle dragging, bible reading, conservative thinking men and women that have always traditionally answered America's call in the liberal hope that if America is too weak to go to war then it won't. Under Obama, military moral has plummeted. By 2016 it will again be a hollow army that it was in the 1970 under Jimmy Carter.

All of which leaves us with damn little we can do even if there was any good choices. 

Possible the best course would be to go in, go in hard and destroy what ever we can of the Assad WMD stockpiles and production and get the hell out. If there was any lesson learned in Iraq and Afghanistan it was that nation building is not always possible. Do what is necessary and get the hell out with a warning that we can always come back and do it again. Leave the people to pick up the pieces. Maybe they will be wiser for it.  

So many scandals so many things to say. Going back to Fast & Furious and up to the latest Megadata collection by Prism just so much to catch up with.

Well lets start with the latest

Just what can be learned from Megadata Mining.

Obama insists that his administration isn't reading our email or listening to our calls, (except for certain key words like bomb, al Qaeda, guns, and a list of other "watch words) and will go to the FISA Courts if they need a warrant. 

So what else can they deduce from your internet and phone activities?

Well all sorts of things. They know what sites you visit. Lets say you read a story about abortion or gun rights, maybe visit a petition site and then you make a series of calls from your phone to your congressman, senators, maybe a few of your friends and they make calls to their congressmen and senators. Then they cross check you with public information like what party you are registered with. Well they don't have to be geniuses to figure out what you were talking about in your calls or emails, (and remember under the law all of your emails that are over 6 months old are considered public information, that you no longer can expect privacy. Just think about how many emails you have in your in box that are over 6 months old. Hell I have some emails going back to 2000). No need to get a warrant to hear every syllable that you said. They can see how often you do these activities, how much of your day you spend doing it. It's not hard using your phone records and social media sites to learn the names of everyone that is in your support network.

They can see if you've looked up a medical condition or prescription medicine and then they see that you've made a couple calls to your physician. They and connect the dots. Lets say that you are checking on antidepressant side effects, make a call to your doctor. Then cross reference your name to see if you've been issued a FOID card? You might not even be checking on your own medication or condition but for a loved one. Remember liberal logic is that you shouldn't have firearms if you open your home to someone with mental illness, even if they are under medication. Your sister uses anti anxiety medication and you own firearms. Your sister sometimes visits your home. To some extremists that is all that is needed to take your second amendment rights away. 

Anyway any and all this information could trigger retaliation from this administration. Maybe that random audit wasn't so random at all. Maybe that visit by the State Police, who say they have an anonymous source and they need to check on your weapons and who has access. Maybe it's not so anonymous. 

It's fine that the government has the power to keep us safe from terrorists, power with checks and balances but snooping on ever person with internet access and a cell phone is a net cast to far. Especially for an administration that has been shown to use the power of the government to suppress political activity and punish people that dissent to their views and goals. 

My apologies, it's been way way too long since I've posted my thoughts. Ah the seduction of Facebook and other social media.

But I feel the need to again post my thoughts here and I hope to make at least one post one various things per day from here on.

One Million March on 9/12 to Protest Obama?

They had a march in D.C. this weekend. You might have heard about it. Not that it was on TV much and hardly a mention in the print media.

Little grassroot thing that started with a call to remember the Boston Tea Party and the message it sent to the capital, Parliament and it's mad king.

It's been under reported considering the size of the march which surprised the organizers who were hoping for 20 to 50 thousand.

The British newspapers, Daily Mail and the Telegraph are showing rooftop pictures estimated to be between one and two million people packed on the Mall. The D.C. Police were totally caught by surprise and had to close Pennsylvania Ave. to traffic due to the huge crowds.

D.C. officials refused to allow any media helicopters to fly over the Capital to properly cover the event so they said they can't estimate it. They never seem to have a problem with that before.

It would be great if this would scare off voters for a generation from voting for a Democrat.

I mean look at what this man and the leaders of the Democrats have planned and have tried to set forth to do to America in this short amount of time. Breathtaking in it boldness. Deploring in it's vitriol rhetoric and name calling of the swelling grassroot assembling of Americans demanding that their Representatives hear them and vote their wishes as Representatives to slow down, do it right, address the problems but don't nationalize the greatest healthcare system in the world.

And this on the heels of our president apologizing to everybody that hates America and bowing to kings, preparing to abandon the war on terror, capitulations across the board, borrowing our children's future from the Chinese, Kumbaya at the point of a gun, plans and schemes abound.

Face it America. Elections mean things. And we can no longer trust the Fourth Estate to uphold their objectivity. They have forfeited that bond.

And that is why it is essentule for this government to control the flow of information. Fairness Doctrines, by all their names, control control control is the goal of this Democrat party.

As for elections, the facts are that there are twice as many conservatives than liberals in this country. This is just a fact. A larger percentage of the independent vote side with the conservatives.

Yet Democrats win elections. And so many times there are more votes counted than there are voters. Happens in Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Washington state, etc etc.

We all know how this happens. But year after year it keeps going on. About 10 years ago the Democrat party developed a plan, a goal to place in each state a Democrat Sec. of State who control the state's election policies and is a governing authority. Their plan is working.

Now the only thing that allows the Democrats to keep on doing this is that it takes a groundswell of dissatisfied voters to say no more.

Maybe we will have that this next election.

Homeland Security on guard for 'right-wing extremists'

WASHINGTON – A newly unclassified Department of Homeland Security report warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed "right-wing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singles out returning war veterans as particular threats.

The report, titled "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," dated April 7, states that "threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts."

However, the report goes on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and "the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks."

Are you ready for a second Declaration of Independence? Sign the petition promoting true freedom once again!

The report from DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines right-wing extremism in the U.S. as "divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups) and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

"[T]he consequences of a prolonged economic downturn – including real estate foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit – could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past," the report says.



It adds that "growth in these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy and the continued U.S. standing as the pre-eminent world power."

"Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of right-wing extremist groups as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government," the report continues. "The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by right-wing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement."

Most notable is the report's focus on the impact of returning war veterans.

"Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists," it says. "DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities."

The report cites the April 4 shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh as an example of what may be coming, claiming the alleged gunman holds a racist ideology and believes in anti-government conspiracy theories about gun confiscations, citizen detention camps and "a Jewish-controlled 'one-world government.'"

It also suggests the election of an African-American president and the prospect of his policy changes "are proving to be a driving force for right-wing extremist recruitment and radicalization."

The report also mentions "'end times' prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement."

"DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremist groups' frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence," the report continues.

The report states the DHS will be working with state and local partners over the next several months to determine the levels of right-wing extremist activity in the U.S.

Last month, the chief of the Missouri highway patrol blasted a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism, assuring that such reports no longer will be issued. The report had been compiled with the assistance of DHS.

The report warned law enforcement agencies to watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.

It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with "radical" ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.

Chief James Keathley of the Missouri State Patrol issued a statement that the release of the report, which outraged conservatives nationwide, prompted him to "take a hard look" at the procedures through which the report was released by the MIAC.

"My review of the procedures used by the MIAC in the three years since its inception indicates that the mechanism in place for oversight of reports needs improvement," he wrote. "Until two weeks ago, the process for release of reports from the MIAC to law enforcement officers around the state required no review by leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the Department of Public Safety."

"For that reason, I have ordered the MIAC to permanently cease distribution of the militia report," he said. "Further, I am creating a new process for oversight of reports drafted by the MIAC that will require leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety to review the content of these reports before they are shared with law enforcement. My office will also undertake a review of the origin of the report by MIAC."

We are back to the Clinton years where all militias were bad. That is a bunch of B.S. Most militias are a bunch of neighbors who started to get together during 50s, 60s, 70s in a revival of when many communities had militias in America's history. Some of the people that join or found them were paranoid but when these guys started they were living in paranoid times. America was just a nuclear exchange away. And a little paranoia isn't a bad thing.

They have a survival interests and see themselves as the last fall back if everything went to hell. They are willing to protect their families and communities. And many of them are firm believers in the Constitution.

There are many a time that militias have volunteered to help search for lost children by walking the grounds in consort with local law officials and other volunteer groups.

It is sickening that militias and white supremacists get pasted with the same brush stroke. And why isn't there any mention of Black Panther, Al Ruken types of groups?

Is there a "Homeland Security on guard for 'left-wing extremists'."

But don't you love what some of the indicators that you need to be watched. This is what you need to be leery of. No not leery but angry over.

If you don't believe in Abortion, Giving Illegals Amnesty, If You Have A Fear That Your Gun Rights Will Be Restricted, If You Believe In States Rights, The 2nd Amendment, If You Are A Veteran, If You Have Any Weapons Training, Or Criticize This Administration Because This Report Instigates That You Are A Bigot and that you bear watching. Having a file on you. And someone whose job it is to fill up that file.

And when you read a report like this you are not suppose to get a little paranoid?

Barack the Barbarian

The Harpy of the Elephant Tower.

Ann Coulter?

You will notice that America wasn't hacked. This time.

We were penetrated, the Pentagon for one to a certain extent during both the Clinton and Bush administrations.

Of course I fully expect that we are doing the same. If not than that would be criminal as it would be a danger to the Republic.

Some of us guys and gals remember growing up with the arms race.

Friends, the arms race of the 20th Century isn't pimple on an elephant compared to the "Computer Penetration, Technology and Information race" is.

Information is power. Total information is total power.

Unfortunately it goes both ways. Domestic along with every country that wishes us either ill or well.
