The Deadly Israeli House

-By Daniel Greenfield, Canada Free Press

There are few weapons as deadly as the Israeli house. When its bricks and mortar are combined together, the house, whether it is one of those modest one story hilltop affairs or a five floor apartment building complete with hot and cold running water, becomes far more dangerous than anything green and glowing that comes out of the Iranian centrifuges.

Forget the cluster bomb and the mine, the poison gas shell and even tailored viruses. Iran can keep its nuclear bombs. They don’t impress anyone in Europe or in Washington DC. Genocide is equally not worthy of attention when in the presence of the fearsome weapon of terror that is an Israeli family of four moving into a new apartment downwind from Jerusalem.

Sudan’s small mountain of African corpses

Sudan may have built a small mountain of African corpses, but it can’t expect to command the full and undivided attention of the world until it does something truly outrageous like building a house and filling it with Jews. Since the Sudanese Jews are as gone as the Jews of Egypt, Iraq, Syria and good old Afghanistan, the chances of Bashir the Butcher pulling off that trick are rather slim.

Due to the Muslim world’s shortsightedness in driving out its Jews from Cairo, Aleppo and Baghdad to Jerusalem, the ultimate weapon in international affairs is entirely controlled by the Jewish State. The Jewish State’s stockpile of Jews should worry the international community far more than its hypothetical stockpiles of nuclear weapons. No one besides Israel, and possibly Saudi Arabia, cares much about the Iranian bomb. But when Israel builds a house, then the international community tears its clothes, wails, threatens to recall its ambassadors and boycott Israeli peaches.

You can spit on the White House carpets and steal all the gold in Greece. You can blow up anything you like and threaten anyone you will, but you had better not lift a drill near Gilgal, where Joshua and a few million escaped Hebrew slaves pitched their camp.

Some may think that genocide or nuclear weapons are the ultimate weapons, but as we see, time and time again, the ultimate weapon is a hammer and a fistful of nails in a Jewish hand. How can even the most talented Iranian nuclear scientist hope to compete with the humble tools of a Jewish carpenter?

Obama has yet to respond to the Muslim Brotherhood coup in Egypt.

Obama has yet to respond to the Muslim Brotherhood coup in Egypt. The gangs of paid rapists assaulting women in Tahrir Square on behalf of the Sharia state are nothing for the White House to worry about. Tunisian protesters against Islamist rule are losing their eyes, but Tunisian eyes come and go, Jewish houses are forever. Read the rest of the article here:

Inanimate Objects Killing Spree Shocks Nation—Maybe Costas Was Right

-By William Kevin Stoos, Canada Free Press

---

Recently a rash of humanless killings by inanimate objects has shocked the nation, causing Americans to wonder whether Bob Costas—a liberal national sportscaster—was right when he suggested that guns are the source of the problem when it comes to tragedies such as the murder-suicide involving Jovan Belcher earlier this week.

Costas, spokesman for the N.F.L. (Not Fully Loaded)—an association of mentally challenged sportscasters—recently made big headlines as he pronounced in essence that “people do not kill people, inanimate objects do.”

Tragically, recent events across America seem to have proved him right. And Hugh Betcha, Ace Reporter for the Stoos Views Media Conglomerate and winner of the MSNBC award for “The Most Trusted Journalist in America, 2012” followed the story. Researching the crime pages across America, Hugh discovered the following:

Dateline Chicago: On November 30, 2012, an AR-15 walked into the First National Bank of Chicago, holding a teller hostage then made off with $10,000 in cash, mixing in with a busy crowd on the street and escaping with the loot.

UPI reported on December 1, 2012 that in San Francisco a nickel plated .38 Specialrobbed a McDonald’s restaurant of $15.00 then shot up the restaurant while screaming patrons ducked under cover. Escaping into the night, the pistol eluded a police chase and made off with the loot. Police have posted an all points bulletin and have sought the public’s input in an effort to capture the gun but, as one police spokesman stated: “We posted a picture of a .38 pistol on local TV but since they all look alike, we have had little success locating the suspect weapon. “

In a tragic case in Texas on the evening of December 2, 2012, the small town of East Overshoe, Texas was shaken in a series of senseless murders when Irving Senseless and his wife and kids were murdered in their home by a butcher knife. Police had no explanation for the killings but suspect that this was the same knife that is responsible for multiple murders across Texas during the past two weeks. “This is one bad knife,” stated Buck Wheet, spokesperson for the Texas Rangers, who indicated that a state wide dragnet has been cast for the murderous implement. Read the rest of the article here:

Little evidence supports Obama's pitch that taxing highest earners will cut deficit

Published December 05, 2012

• 
  While President Obama campaigns hard for Congress to raise taxes on America’s highest earners — insisting on no deal to resolve the looming fiscal crisis without it — there is little evidence to back up his sales pitch that it will go a long way to reducing the nation’s runaway deficit.
  
  In fact, history shows that similar tax hikes resulted in less additional revenue than expected, and other unintended consequences.
  
  Economists point to then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s proposal in April 2010 to increase the marginal tax rate by 10 percent — to 50 percent — on residents earning more than $1 million. As a consequence, the number of people declaring that amount of income or more dropped from 16,000 to 6,000 in the 2010-2011 tax year, according to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, the United Kingdom’s tax collection agency.
  
  Before Brown’s proposal, Britain’s wealthiest composed roughly 9 percent of the country’s tax pool. That percentage dropped by half — to roughly 4.4 percent — after the proposal.
  
  It is believed that rich Britons moved abroad or took steps to avoid paying the new levy by reducing their taxable incomes, according to a report in the London Telegraph.
  
  Could enactment of Obama’s tax hike on high earners — raising the marginal rate to 39.6 percent, from 35 percent — in return for preserving existing Bush-era rates on Americans earning less than $250,000 annually have a similar effect?

COURT HEARS CHALLENGE TO OBAMA RECESS APPOINTMENTS Bypassed Senate to fill vacancies in administration

(AP) WASHINGTON — Republicans and business groups told a federal appeals court Wednesday that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution earlier this year when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies in his administration.

Attorneys for the groups told a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that Obama abused his power in January when he made recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board.

I would suggest there is a huge cloud hanging over the National Labor Relations Board right now," said Noel Francisco, attorney for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other groups challenging the action.

The case is an important test of presidential power and could determine whether the Senate can indefinitely block presidential appointments by refusing to adjourn. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky came to watch the hearing in a packed courtroom. McConnell and 46 other Senate Republicans filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing the appointments are invalid.

BOEHNER BOOTS ANOTHER GOP CONGRESSMAN Moderate Republican repeatedly voted against speaker's wishes

(WASHINGTON TIMES) Rep. Walter Jones, a rare moderate Republican, said he was “very disappointed” and “a little bit surprised” he was booted from a plum committee assignment after he repeatedly voted against House Speaker John A. Boehner’s wishes.

But the North Carolina lawmaker said he isn’t angry, has no regrets and vowed to continue to vote his conscience.

“I’m not going to sacrifice my integrity for anyone or any party,” Mr. Jones told a gathering of reporters at the Capitol Tuesday. “It’s the price you pay. I didn’t come up here to be a puppet for anyone. And I think the public back in my district, which is the most important, has seen I’m willing to do what I think is right.”

Mr. Jones, who easily won a 10th term to the House last month, and fellow Republican Rep. David Schweikert of Arizona are losing their seats on the House Financial Services Committee, while GOP Reps. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan will lose their seats on the House Budget Committee.

Mr. Jones has voted against his party about 30 percent of the time, records show.

Michael Steel, a spokesman for Mr. Boehner, said Tuesday the party's steering committee made the decision "based on a range of factors," the Associated Press reported.

Mr. Jones said he learned won't be returning to the financial services panel "on the Internet" — not from his party's leadership. Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/dec/4/rep-walter-jones-surprised-being-kicked-committee/#ixzz2EDa5pDja

Let’s Hear it for the Middle Class!

- By Tim Dunkin for Canada Free Press

(Author’s Note: This article was originally written nearly four years ago, after Obama’s election to his first term. However, I think that despite a bit of datedness with respect to some of the specifics mentioned below, the general point still applies quite well for today, especially as we see the middle classes in this country coming under increasing assault from President Obama and his gang of thieves and scoundrels.)

I am not a great fan of Arnold Toynbee’s cyclical interpretation of history. Nevertheless, I do think that history often seems to repeat itself because history records the actions of a common denominator – humanity – whose members will have the same basic responses under the same general social circumstances, regardless of time and place. So it is with the pattern we’re seeing in America today, with regards to the position and viability of the Middle Class.

Lately, I’ve been reading G.M. Young’s Victorian England: Portrait of an Age, and have been struck by the similarities between the evolution of Victorian society and our own. In both societies, you had an early and fleeting embrace of individualism under the auspices of classically liberal political philosophy that sooner or later gave way to a radically secular and libertarian caricature of self-government (here, it began with Ayn Rand, there, with Herbert Spencer).

In both cases, creeping socialism under the auspices of “Poor Laws” and “social relief” spread through most strata of society, while most people were asleep at the wheel. Further, both saw the encrustation of social and moral traditions – but only for tradition’s sake – which were then suddenly and decisively swept away with the advent of a decadent new generation that was not taught WHY these traditions were important or necessary. In England, this occurred in the Edwardian age that followed the Victorian – the era of bohemianism and Bright Young Things; here it was the rise of the Rock and Roll culture and the Sexual Revolution, from the late 1950s and continuing to this day.

One aspect of these social changes, however, upon which hinged the whole destabilization of society was the steady denigration and decline of the Middle Class. In both Victorian England and middle 20th century America, there was the progressive ostracization of the Middle Class and its attendant values and purposes. Both societies degraded as a result.

What we need to understand is that “Middle Class” is not so much an economic description as it is a psychological one. A person can be “Middle Class” and not fit into the typically associated income brackets. Likewise, you can fit right into the middle economically, and not be “Middle Class.” It’s a mindset, a worldview, a way of looking at things through a certain lens. To be “Middle Class” is to hold to the conventional values that made America great – personal self-government, capitalistic self-improvement, fiscal responsibility (both personal and governmental), and moral steadfastness. You might say that Middle Class is bourgeois– in which case, I’m proud to be a class enemy.

The Middle Class mindset is one that believes that it is better to regulate one’s own behavior than it is to have someone else regulate it for you. It rejects the “anything goes” attitude of post-modern America. It also resents the profusion of laws, regulations, and stipulations that society enacts when certain members of the body politic cannot govern their own behavior. It upholds the rule of law, but knows that the free and sovereign individual shouldn’t need very many laws to successfully live out his life in peace with other members of society.

The Middle Class individual strives to improve him or herself through hard work and industriousness. He or she neither wallows in self-perpetuating poverty and enslavement to the welfare state, nor do they seek to get rich quick. He knows that the path to financial betterment comes neither from a welfare check nor a lottery ticket. Instead, the Middle Class individual works hard, does a quality job, rises through the ranks, expects to be judged on his merits, and makes plans to better himself and society through producing real wealth with real value and real benefit to all involved, by investing his own ingenuity and abilities. Riches are the result of the patient investment of blood, sweat, and tears, not finding the right stock or having an uncle who doesn’t have a problem with nepotism.

Let’s Be Honest And Call The Modern Democrat Party The Socialist Party

- Robert Rohlfing for Canada Free Press

We need to start being honest and have the modern day Democrat Party relabeled and call it the Social Democrat Party. There is no shame in doing so and those that have supported the party because it has a “D” next to it need not feel shame in doing so either.

The Old Democrat Party has been folded into the new one led by those who support socialist policies, this is not breaking news and it is not meant as a derogatory slur either. When you look at a recent poll it shows that those that do support the Democrat Party also lean in the direction of socialism and when you look at those in charge today of the party they emulate it through policies and verbiage.To be honest and finally declare that you embrace it and to actually label it for what it is allows for honest debate and honest perspective. It is understandable that a vast majority of those who consider themselves Democrats may not want to own up to the fact that the Party has evolved in this direction, but they are the same ones in public, on the internet, and in the media who have embraced and called for all that socialism stands for. Time and again we have heard the drums ofclass warfare and social welfare programs as well as a sense that individualism is dead and that we need to embrace the central government plan for the good of the country and citizens. All of these are tenants followed by socialists worldwide.

We have even had Democrats in Congress in hearings slip out that they embrace Socialism such as Maxine Waters. The major allies of the Democrat Party in the Trade Unions, Socialist Party USA, The Communist Party USA, And the Occupy Movement all have embraced the fact that they follow the tenants of socialism. When you examine the direction and blueprint that today’s modern Democrat Party would like to take us in, it is the same blueprint followed by European Socialists. Big Government is rooted in Marx’s Ten Planks of Communism and with small steps they are instituting each and every plank here in the United States one small step at a time. The Embrace that the party has with the United Nations and the fact that it is moving us ever closer to governing by a central world body with small discrepancies by regions such as the European Union.

The key legislation of this administration is socialized health care, and the battle over the fiscal health of this nation are drawn upon the lines of socialized economic policies so what is the secret? There is no secret at all, but the unwillingness to be honest and embrace the fact that yes the party and those who support it are socialists in their core beliefs. Over ten or so years on political forums and debating with these folks the clear shift has become so blatantly obvious it is a wonder why they still try to hide the fact that they are.

As I said there is no shame in announcing the fact that as a Modern Democrat and supporter of the party that you just may be a Socialist. It is just overdue that you as one come out from behind the closet door so to say and embrace the fact that you are a socialist and want to institute that here in the United States. Yes we have had a soft form of socialism in the United States for many years with Welfare, Social Security,Medicare and the like, but once again it comes back to those who instituted those programs in the first place and how the ever evolving name of those who did went from Liberal, to Progressive, back to Liberal, back again to Progressive but has been rooted in Marx’s socialist ideology from the start.

So let’s embrace it and call it for what it is and name the Modern Democrat party the Social Democrat Party. Again no shame in doing so, just an honest narrative that they can take forward with the pride that they have held in instituting what they have embraced for so long.

It takes 54 trees to make a Merry Marxist Christmas

- By Judi McLeod



The maligning malcontent activists in the White House try harder than ever to torment the people who never voted them in.

In this, the ‘Year of the Big Gloat’ it’s a $4-million Hawaiian taxpayer-paid, 20-day vacation and 54 ‘Christmas’ trees, one-upmanship on George W’s last 27 Christmas trees in 2008.

The Obamas celebrated their first Christmas in the White House with an 18-foot tree decorated with Mao Zedong and Drag Queen Hedda Lettuce ornaments, and four years later accept the “Our Lord and Savior” title.

The 54 trees decked out for this year’s celebration can’t be Christmas trees. The Obamas, who claim they do not give their daughters gifts, do not believe in Christmas.

The trees are decor—decor meant to demoralize and depress anyone paying attention.

Letter writers to Canada Free Press (CFP) keep asking why the Obama regime and their supporters are so angry even after winning the November 6 election.

They’re angry because the United States of America is, even after all the damage hurled at it from an activist-run government, still up and running.

They’re angry because it is in raging Marxist blood to be angry. They’re angry because it’s taking too long a time to inflict One World Government on passionately patriotic America and even with the United Nations doing all the heavy lifting, there’s no guarantee that OWG will ever come to pass.

The waste of the Obamas in office puts them in the same category as Romania’s high spending Ceausescus.

While the 54 trees are intended to rub salt in the wound of the millions worried about what Barack Hussein Obama will do to the one country the rest of the world depends on, they are really preaching to their own czar and star-studded choir.

Americans not marching the Obama frog march are captivated by their own home Christmas trees.

There is more joy and hope to be seen in the single wreath on a sharecropper’s cabin; more inspiration for the parents of an innocent child whose eyes light up at the sight of the family Christmas tree than in any and all of the 54 trees in the White House.

Michelle posing in designer gowns in front of the tree come second and last to the average family’s picture called “Baby’s 1st Christmas”.

Firefighter fired for installing Barack Obama toilet paper in firehouse bathroom

A Florida firefighter is out of a job after putting toilet paper with President Barack Obama’s face in his fire department’s bathroom.

Clint Pierce, who admitted placing the Obama toilet paper in the restroom as a “gag,” had until 5:00 p.m. Friday to turn in his badge after the city of Pompano Beach, Fla. determined his joke was a disrespectful repeat offense, according to a report from the Sun Sentinel.

The Oct. 19 incident marked the third time Pierce brought political props onto city property, after he was told to stop.

“It was clearly a case of insubordination,” city spokeswoman Sandra King said Friday, according to the paper. “He had a similar situation of posting political messages on city property and he was given a free pass at that time and told to cease and desist and he did it again and really exacerbated the situation.”

Fire Chief Harry L. Small determined that Pierce’s actions showed “tasteless and disrespectful treatment” of President Obama and “caused significant divisiveness within the department and community.”

And according to activists who came to a City Commission meeting Tuesday, his actions were racist and offensive, the Sun Sentinel reported.

Small concluded in a Nov. 20 memo, however, that he “found no evidence to indicate that Pierce’s actions were racially motivated, but rather they were politically motivated.”

Toilet paper with former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s face, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s face, and and others are readily available online.Read more:

Tea partiers discuss ways to keep movement alive

WASHINGTON — Battling the notion that the tea party is dying or already dead, 100 tea party activists from across the country met in Washington over the weekend to discuss how the once-vibrant grassroots movement could remain relevant.

The status of the tea party is up for debate. Critics of the tea party cite President Obama’s re-election and the fact that his signature health-care law is still intact as evidence that it has failed as an organized movement has failed, and its influence has been severely diminished.

But others – including conservative activist Grover Norquist – argue the country may see a tea party resurgence if the country goes over the so-called fiscal cliff and automatic tax hikes go into effect at the end of the year.

The Mystery Of Barack Obama Continues

By Steve Baldwin for the Western Center for Journalism

Most Americans don’t realize we have elected a president whom we know very little about.

Researchers have discovered that Obama’s autobiographical books are little more than PR stunts, as they have little to do with the actual events of his life. The fact is we know less about President Obama than perhaps any other president in American history and much of this is due to actual efforts to hide his record. This should concern all Americans.

A nation-wide network of researchers has sprung up to attempt to fill in the blanks, but at every opportunity Obama’s high-priced lawyers have built walls around various records or simply made them disappear. It is estimated that Obama’s legal team has now spent well over $1.4 million dollars blocking access to documents every American should have access to. The question is why would he spend so much money to do this?

The president who campaigned for a more “open government” and “full disclosure” will not unseal his medical records, his school records, his birth records or his passport records. He will not release his Harvard records, his Columbia College records, or his Occidental College records—he will not even release his Columbia College thesis. All his legislative records from the Illinois State Senate are missing and he claims his scheduling records during those State Senate years are lost as well. In addition, no one can find his school records for the elite K-12 college prep school, Punahou School, he attended in Hawaii.

What is he hiding? Well, for starters, some of these records will shed light on his citizenship and birth.

Mitt Romney Campaign Manager Matt Rhoades Laments Hard-Right Shift On Immigration

BOSTON –- Mitt Romney's campaign manager admitted regret that the Republican challenger took such a hardline stance on immigration during the GOP primary, one of the first clear acknowledgements by the Romney campaign that its candidate hurt himself among Latino voters.

Matt Rhoades, who oversaw Romney's campaign, gathered with other top decision makers from both Romney's and President Barack Obama's campaigns at Harvard University's Institute of Politics Thursday for the "Campaign Managers Conference," which the school has hosted every four years since 1972. The session was on the record, but embargoed until an audio recording was posted online Monday.

During a discussion of the primary, Rhoades and top Romney strategist Stuart Stevens were asked whether they regretted attacking former GOP candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry on the immigration issue in the summer and fall of 2011.

Stevens, 59, shook his head. But Rhoades, 37, answered the question.

"I regret that ..." Rhoades said, before stopping himself, and phrasing his answer differently.

Rhoades went on to describe how the Romney campaign may have regarded Perry as a mortal threat for too long, leading it to engage him beyond the point when it was necessary, and setting itself up for a hard-right turn on immigration.

"If you look through the unwinding of the Perry campaign, a lot of people put a focus on that one infamous debate moment," Rhoades said, referring to Perry's epic "oops" moment at an early November debate in Detroit, when Perry could not remember the three federal agencies he planned to eliminate.Read more:

UN recognizes Palestine, Palestine celebrates by threatening Israel

By ROBERT LAURIE – Before the vote? Peace. After the vote? Threats.

Yesterday, the United Nations voted to grant Palestine status as a non-member observer state. That may sound like a faint honor, but the official recognition is a tremendous upgrade in terms of Palestinian prominence on the world stage. It’s also a move that many Western nations, including the United States, had hoped to avoid.

“The moment has arrived for the world to say clearly: Enough of aggression, settlements and occupation,” said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas prior to the vote. “We did not come here seeking to delegitimize a state established years ago, and that is Israel; rather we came to affirm the legitimacy of the state that must now achieve its independence, and that is Palestine.”

Abbas’s rosy picture of Palestine’s peaceful intentions was focused on negotiation and coexistence.

“Our endeavor is not aimed at terminating what remains of the negotiations process, which has lost its objectivity and credibility, but rather aimed at trying to breathe new life into the negotiations and at setting a solid foundation for it based on the terms of reference of the relevant international resolutions in order for the negotiations to succeed.”

He also used the opportunity to paint Gaza as a victim, saying “The Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip has confirmed once again the urgent and pressing need to end the Israeli occupation and for our people to gain their freedom and independence.”

Magically, he managed to avoid any mention of Palestinians lobbing missiles into Israel. If Abbas is to be believed, Palestine just wants everyone to get along and their enhanced UN status will help.

Sunday morning, after the vote had gone his way, Abbas returned to Ramallah and gave a victory speech to thousands of jubilant Palestinians who had assembled to celebrate their UN win. With flags waving, he took to the podium and addressed the crowd. Perhaps unsurprisingly, his remarks seemed to suggest that peace was not exactly his first priority.

"Raise your heads high, because you are Palestinians!” He shouted. "You have proof that you are stronger than the occupation, because you are Palestinians... stronger than the settlements, because you are Palestinians!”

"One day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem,” he vowed, “the eternal capital of the state of Palestine!”

In a written statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summed up his thoughts in a typically stoic manner. “These are not the words of a man who wants peace,” he said.Read more:

Obama voters, you won! Here's your prize . . .

By HERMAN CAIN - Congratulations or something.

President Obama won the popular vote by 50.6 percent. OK, those of you that voted for him, you won. But you did not win the lottery. Here's what you won.

You won a president who wants unlimited federal spending powers with no federal debt ceiling. Would you give unlimited credit to a person who has maxed out all of their credit cards? If you say yes, then respectfully, you are a fool.

You won a president who is asking Congress to spend an additional $50 billion for unidentified projects. This would of course be the same Congress that has not passed a budget since 2009. Do you run your finances without a budget, or at least some idea of how you are going to make ends met? Well, you probably don't.

You won a president who wants to raise taxes by $1.6 trillion over 10 years, while telling you that it will help reduce the deficit. Do the math folks. That's not true. It would raise minimal revenue and cause a big decrease in employment and the creation of new jobs. All you have to do is to look at the real history of tax increases. But you see, President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi know you don't know the history, and they figure you are too gullible to learn.

Obama voters, you won a president who is still campaigning, so he can keep using the lapdog mainstream media to tell you what he wants you to believe instead of telling you the truth. Strip away your preconceived notions about media channels that Obama told you not to watch, and you just might learn something.Read more:

Obama's Great Gatsby lifestyle - fiddling while Rome burns

By ROBERT LAURIE – Obama parties as we descend into chaos

At the close of business Thursday, Barack Obama crossed an important line. On July 2, 2001 our national was just $5,693,220,327,798.14. When Bush left office, it was up to $10,626,877,048,913.08. Obama’s debt is now over $16,323,083,449,604.98 and climbing rapidly. This means that Obama has now accrued a debt greater than that of every President from George Washing ton’s 1789 inauguration all the way to the fifth month of George W. Bush’s first term – combined.

If any of this worries Obama, you wouldn’t know it from the way he spent his weekend golfing and mingling with Hollywood royalty.

According to the White House website, Obama had no public schedule for Saturday. While the President is always technically “working,” you can assume this was a relaxing day, possibly designed to allow the Commander in Chief to rest up for a grueling Sunday. After all, it takes a lot of energy to hit the links with Bill Clinton.

Obama has now played well over 100 rounds as President, but 55 degree November weekends cannot be allowed to go to waste. The phony specter of catastrophic man-made global warming isn’t just a convenient anti-capitalist boogeyman; it’s also great for your short game. This was the third time he’d managed to play since his November 6th reelection.

Afterward, you might assume he went home to figure out the whole fiscal cliff thing. You’d be wrong. In reality, he grabbed a tux and headed to the Kennedy center where he honored such cultural luminaries as David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman, and Led Zeppelin.

Of the notorious rock band, he said “There was some hotel rooms trashed and mayhem all around, so it’s fitting that we’re doing this in a room with windows that are about three inches thick, and with Secret Service all around. So, guys, just settle down.”
Ah, that sparkling Obama wit! Read more:

The Working Class and the Government Class

- Daniel Greenfield

Forget all the talk about whether we will or won’t go over the fiscal cliff. We ourselves are the fiscal cliff and have been for some time now. The real fiscal cliff is not the point at which we run out of money, our credit rating sinks lower than Enron and or everyone is fighting over jars of cat food at Wal-Mart. The real fiscal cliff is when even the dumbest person in the country is no longer able to deny what the packs of robbers and thieves he appointed to steal for him have perpetrated for their own benefit in his name. And that fiscal cliff may never come.

Soviet leaders used to promise their people that one day they would live under true Communism. Under ourhybrid system, many Americans already live under Communism. And the rest of the country pays for it. As the number of people living under Communism grows and the number of people subsidizing Communism shrinks, the fiscal cliffs begin coming in faster than Wile E. Coyote on jet-powered rocket skates.

Our class warfare is not determined by paycheck size. The United States has only two classes. The working class and the government class.

The working class extends through the lower class, the middle class and the upper class, and everyone of every income level who derives their income from gainful employment. The government class similarly extends from the poor to the middle class to the rich, and consists of those whose chief source of income is the government; whether it’s welfare checks, government jobs or crony capitalism.Not everyone in the working class is a saint and not everyone in the government class is a parasite. There are plenty of corporations who care only about short term profit and create social problems that the rest of the country has to live with. Immigration is a classic example. And there are also plenty of government employees who perform vital and even heroic functions. Your local firefighter and member of the armed services are obvious examples.

The government class is dependent on the working class, deriving its income from their income

The government class is dependent on the working class, deriving its income from their income. The government class turns from the symbiotic to the parasitic to the extent that its demands on the working class become unsustainable and exploitative, that its functions grow bloated, its spending programs reek of corruption and its government contracts emerge out of backdoor deals with friendly politicians.

The government class can never be productive, because it is not a creative force, it only provides secondary non-innovative services to the working class, but it is legitimate to the extent that it performs vital functions on behalf of the working class with their consent and in an economically sustainable fashion. When it violates these principles, then it becomes a parasite sucking the life out of the working class.

The welfare class is a subgroup of the government class

It is not just the government employee who is a member of the government class. The welfare class is a subgroup of the government class. And the welfare class is not only parasitic, it is the axis around which an entire parasitic constellation of the government class revolves around.

The classic welfare family has become the income generating center of the government class. They are the “wealth creators” for an entire infrastructure of social services built around them from the government officials who process their aid forms to the social workers who provide them with benefit counseling to the employees of those clinics who provide them with health care, and the extra teachers hired to help raise standards at their perpetually failing schools, the drug counselors who help them get clean and the police officers who break up their fights.

All or almost all of these people are members of unions. Those unions have their own employees. Those union employees have their own politicians. The politicians provide grants to the community social welfare infrastructure and generous benefits for union contracts. All this money and influence spins around the welfare family, but they only benefit from a minute fraction of it.

Around their dungheap, fly community groups and a horde of other private non-profits, “advocating” for them while operating on government grants. The buildings they live in are affordable housing projects built for them by the government, and cleaned, managed and repaired for them by government employees.

When they go to the supermarket, they buy food with money from the government. When they go to the pharmacy, they get free medication from the government. The web of clinics, supermarkets and pharmacies are not part of the working class, they are subsidized by government money and prosper by feeding off that government class.

The seven members of the classic welfare family, Grandma, Ma and her five kids, are the axis around which thousands of government professionals revolve. Their dysfunctional state keeps an entire state of government employees, employed. And it is in the interest of those government employees to seek out and create such dysfunctional families by championing social policies that break up families and keep them down, under the pretense of helping them because those families are the cash cows of the government class.

Communism, at least conceptually, argued for shifting power from those who perform intellectual labor to those who perform manual labor. Modern liberalism exists only to shift wealth from workers to non-workers, taking from the working class on behalf of the non-working class and pocketing the money for the employees of the government class.

In a hybrid economy, the differences between the government class and the working class aren’t always as obvious. There are any number of businesses, large and small, that are members of the government class, and derive the bulk of their income from the government.

The fundamental difference between the government class business and the workingclass business is that the government class business is an instrument of government policy. While its owner may derive value from it, the government class business only exists because it fulfills an objective of government policy. And that makes the government class business indistinguishable from the policy it represents.

As the government class expands, the number of individuals and businesses in the government class grows because joining the government class, whether as a welfare recipient, government employee or crony capitalist company is a better strategy than staying in the working class. Planned economies are easier to profit from in the short term, whether it’s by getting free stuff, early retirement or contracts on generous terms, because their centralization makes them predictable and influence-able. The only problem is that they have no future.

American society has been reshaped to seek short cuts, whether it’s through lottery tickets, credit cards or corporate mergers, at the expense of long-term profits through hard work. Corporations don’t look past the next quarter and many people don’t look past the next interest payment. And joining the government class is the ultimate shortcut. It wrecks families, trashes the economy and robs the country of its future, while providing limited short-term benefits to members of the government class.

Cities and towns are going bankrupt because government class unions asked for and got financially unsustainable benefit packages
Cities and towns are going bankrupt because government class unions asked for and got financially unsustainable benefit packages. Those small implosions are a metaphor for the tremendous harm that the government class is inflicting on the working class, and also, in the long term, on itself. In the long run, parasitism is not sustainable. In the short term, there’s a great party. In the long term, the parasite dies.

The major development of the last decade has been the government’s class disinterest in the economic sustainability of its demands. Call it the Californization of America under a government class that is both determined and doomed.

Are Establishment Republicans Ready to Give In to Obama?

- Jerry McConnell

If I’ve said it once in my columns, I’ve said it a dozen or more times; and that is, “in the lexicon of the liberal Socialist-Communist Democrats, the word bipartisanship means, ‘do it our way’.”

As if providing evidence of that one-sided axiom, the head enforcer, Slippery Senate Leader Harry Reid, (D-NV) was quoted by Reuters Money News online November 29, 2012, as saying “A U.S. debt ceiling increase must be part of any deal to resolve the looming ‘fiscal cliff’ of tax increases and spending cuts.”

That is libDem speak for ‘bipartisanship.’ Note carefully the words “must be part of any deal…” Those words shine the spotlight on what Reid and Obama and Pelosi ALL determine is needed if a bi-party agreement is to be accomplished.

Of course Reid and his ‘pressure pals’ know that the chances are probably not terribly far off the table to get the Establishment Republicans, AKA, RINOs to capitulate and give in to the measure that will allow those same ‘budget-bustin’ spendthrift hustlers to continue to send the National Debt Ceiling into even greater and greater as well as insurmountable heights of onerous debt that will destroy not only our country but the rest of the lives of our children and their children for eternity.

These selfish, and utterly stupid and careless Socialist-Communist cretins will not be satisfied until all Americans, including themselves who they mistakenly think will later get their rewards from the corrupt United Nations robbers and frauds. How is it possible that this country can boast of having over sixty million voters who are willing co-conspirators in the demise of what once was the greatest country in the world?

Just fresh off the greatest perpetration of a felonious rip-off by somehow or other rigging nationwide voting machines to return the greatest fraudulent imposter to the highest office of our land and the most incompetent usurper of the presidency ever in the history of this or any other country, these country killers are insanely demanding that they be permitted to accelerate their ruinous destructive actions that they have been carrying on for the past four years.

Somehow we have to dig deep into our pitiful pool of impotent pikers and pluck out aplum who can keep these treasonous traitors at bay for four more years.

And speaking about how out of kilter the libDem country destroyers are in this hour of the sad beginnings to another four years of watching the monument of greatness manufactured by our Founding Fathers being hacked away with glee by the anti-Americans who were, in the main part, nurtured and raised by its goodnesses right here on this land.

Being Bourgeois

Living in Communist Romania
- Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

Ana and I picked up nine year old Stefan from school one October day, a gorgeous Indian summer day before the winter chill. A musical prodigy, little Stefan is a genius with a penchant for Italian food. Half a block from the art school is a restaurant called Da Vinci’s, always bustling with patrons dining under the grape vine pergola.

I was happy to see so many people out to lunch, able to afford food and particularly restaurant food, previously considered a luxury under communism that only the ruling elite could afford and felt entitled to have and enjoy.

Adjacent to Da Vinci’s was an old stately mansion in a terrible state of disrepair. A tall fence covered in vines obscured the full view to the house. I peered through the wooden slats that had separated here and there where the nails broke or the wood decayed. The gate opened with a groan and I stepped inside the yard. Someone forgot to lock the gate. There was neither a trespassing warning nor any sign of habitation. The formerly tended front garden was overcome with tall weeds, growing from the most unlikely places – like the many cracks of the cement garden path.

I walked to the front door and rang the massive lion head door knocker. It made a hollow sound. I waited for a few minutes but nobody answered. I looked through a window – the house was empty and had been empty for quite some time.

The mansion was oozing rust from everywhere but especially the wrought iron front foyer bump-out. The stained glass windows were still beautiful, just as I remembered them. I used to count the squares and name the colors to pass the time. The walls were cracked and peeling and the fancy silk wall paper hung desolate onto the floor stained from water leaks. The Bohemian crystal chandelier was still hanging in the dining room, missing bulbs and electricity. The heavy rosewood furniture with strange carvings was gone. The parquet discolorations bore witness to the place where they stood. Did the owners remove them? Were they sold at auction? Did the communists apparatchiks confiscate them in the 1980s and moved them to their villas?

Aunt Ecaterina’s bedroom bay window that I admired was missing the heavy curtains. Mom used to open them to let fresh air in. Miraculously the dingy glass was not broken. I sat on a pillow in the bay window many Sundays checking out the lush rose garden, now a jungle mess of weeds, or staring mesmerized at the rain. Mom and aunt Ecaterina talked in hushed tones and she cried a lot.

She always wore her finest housecoat and slippers made of rich silk brocade. I did not understand at the time what secrets they shared, why we had to walk so much to her home every weekend. It was a trek I dreaded but I was not old enough to stay home alone.


Her husband had been arrested because he was bourgeois. It must have been a terrible crime, I thought at the time. I asked Grandma several times why her youngest brother was in prison but she always avoided my question and turned her eyes away, waving her hand in the air.

Years later I understood. Grandma’s brother had acquired too much land and a nice home and that was a crime in the new communist regime. He had worked very hard to build a successful store from scratch, built the mansion, bought some land, got married, and had a son whom he sent to the best schools to become a lawyer.

Class envy and re-distribution of wealth sent him to prison for seven years. His wife was devastated! The communist regime confiscated all the land, the store, the bank accounts, and the furnishings. They left Ecaterina’s ornate bed. She became so depressed; she seldom got out of her matrimonial bed. Mom tried to cheer her up with our weekend visits. I only looked forward to her sour cherry preserves on rye bread. It was a real treat.

Nobody knows how uncle Pavel survived seven years in jail – it certainly was not a walk in the park being beaten daily and eating potato soup and bread. He died several years after having served the full sentence. Aunt Ecaterina never recovered from her depression. Not only did she have to suffer the indignity of losing everything, including the love and comfort of her husband, the communist party moved two families of strangers into her home. Nine more people made the large house look suddenly small and crowded. She had to share the kitchen, the hallways, and bathrooms with total strangers. She lived long enough to see her only adult son succumb to lung cancer. I wonder if the grandchildren inherited the mansion and did not have the money to remodel.

It was bittersweet, stepping back in time 40 some years, remembering the misery and abuse of communism. I walked back into the street and to the restaurant. By now, Ana and Stefan had arrived and were looking for me. I glanced back one more time at the rusty tin roof – the sun was shining but the house looked forlorn and leaning.

I smiled when Stefan gave me a hug and threw his back pack on the ground. The day was going to be all right, the fog of the past dissipated. Unpleasant memories still hound me, triggered by unusual circumstances. I went back to Romania to revisit my past but the unplanned encounters with the ghosts of communism were still painful.

Muslim Brotherhood ‘paying gangs to go out and rape women and beat men protesting in Egypt’ as thousands of demonstrators fill streets

Egypt’s ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women protesting in Cairo’s Tahrir Square against President Mohamed Morsi, activists said.


They also said the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.

It comes as the Muslim Brotherhood co-ordinated a demonstration today in support of President Mohamed Morsi, who is rushing through a constitution to try to defuse opposition fury over his newly expanded powers.

Just 24 hours earlier around 200,000 people gathered in Tahrir Square, the heart of last year’s revolution which toppled President Hosni Mubarak, yesterday to protest against a new draft constitution.


Large marches from around Cairo flowed into the square, chanting ‘Constitution: Void!’ and The people want to bring down the regime.’

OBAMA FISCAL PROPOSAL 'CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH'

Orrin Hatch: 'These ideas are so radical'

(THE HILL) -  The top-ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee accused President Obama of pulling a "bait and switch" this week with the administration's proposed deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff." 

"What [Obama] proposed this week was a classic bait and switch on the American people—a tax increase double the size of what he campaigned on, billions of dollars in new stimulus spending and an unlimited, unchecked authority to borrow from the Chinese," Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said in Saturday's weekly GOP address. 

"Maybe I missed it but I don’t recall him asking for any of that during the presidential campaign. These ideas are so radical that they have already been rejected on a bipartisan basis by Congress."

On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was dispatched to Capitol Hill to share Obama's plan with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) The deal included $1.6 trillion in tax hikes, $50 billion in economic stimulus spending and $400 billion in spending cuts. Republicans have demanded more severe spending cuts - including entitlement reform - to begin a discussion on raising taxes.

If Congress fails to act within the next 30 days, a bevy of tax increases and severe spending cuts are set to go into effect, potentially unleashing a devastating blow to the precarious U.S. economy.

California Church to Become Site of Islamist Convention

The Muslim Public Affairs Council’s choice of location for its 12th Annual Conventionon December 15 is telling: The All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena, California. The group, founded by Muslim Brotherhood followers, says this is the “next step in its mission by crossing the interfaith line.” Yet again, the Islamists are taking advantage of naïve Christians with a desire to show off their tolerance. 

The All Saints Episcopal Church of Pasadena started an Interfaith Study Groupin 2007 with the Pasadena Jewish Temple and the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC), from which MPAC originated. The organization was founded as a branch of ICSC in 1986 and then became independent in 1988, though the two remain intertwined. The ICSC is proud of its interfaith successes. For example, the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica is allowing the ICSC to hold Friday prayers there every week.

The story of MPAC begins with Hassan and Maher Hathout, the former of whom died in 2009. The brothers became active with the Muslim Brotherhood at an early age, with Hassan Hathout saying that its founder, Hassan al-Banna, is “the person who most influenced my life” and that “centuries might roll over before a similar personality is produced.” Maher Hathout was arrested in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood was banned, and released in 1968. Three years later, they moved to Buffalo, New York and went to California to establish the ICSC in 1978. 

Hassan Hathout says they sought to begin the “Islamic Movement” in the U.S., a term the Brotherhood uses to describe its ideology. In 1997, hepredicted its success because “America needs Islam. If you look objectively you will see that this current civilization harbors in its body the seeds of its own destruction.” The language is very similar to that of a1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood strategy document where it defines its “work in America as a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” Another U.S. Muslim Brotherhood document from 1989 from its Financial Committee refers to a person with the last name of Hathout as someone “in the field.” Read more:
