Obama Debt Pile In 3–Now Larger Than Bush’s In 8

Obama has been better at piling debt on America than any President in history. Yesterday his administration was even asked a question about it.

But true to form the answer given by Jay “the snake” Carney is another lie. Unbelievably he tries to blame it on the failure of the the GOP to raise taxes. Thankfully, Republicans have resisted increasing taxes. If we raised taxes in this depression the economy would get even worse. But that is likely what Obama and his team want. The more pain, the more dependence, the more dependence, the more votes for the Obama socialist program.

The Feds Drop The Ball Again–Sexual Predator Runs Free

The way the federal government releases these sexual predators and other hardened criminals, letting them run free, you would think they want a crime wave to punish the citizens. Oh, maybe they do. Obama and his team love chaos. Why not empty the prisons along with destroying the economy?

The Fast And Furious Scandal Is Getting More Serious

We have been calling for the impeachment of Eric Holder over his cover-up of US Justice Department incompetence and criminal behavior in Fast and Furious scandal. Just wait until you hear the latest revelations. Impeachment isn’t enough. Holder should go to jail.

Were Stimulus Funds Used To Spy On Americans?

With gas prices climbing, so is the popularity of fuel-efficient cars. AltTransport.com, a site “dedicated to giving you the latest news and the smartest analysis of the shift towards smarter and more efficient modes of transportation,” reports that “with gas prices rising, car manufacturers are starting to see some of their most fuel-efficient cars fly off the shelves.” A call to the Smart Car Center in my area reveals that their sales are currently about double the usual; seven sales by mid-month rather than the usual three to five.

While the Smart Car may get good gas mileage and fit into tight parking places, how “smart” is it really? The April 2012 issue of Consumer Reports is now out and features the best and worst cars of 2012. The Smart Car didn’t make the list, nor did it receive a “recommended” rating in the “Hatchback: fuel-efficient class”—where its overall road test rating is 28 of a possible 100. The April issue’s “Safety” section states: “Even a small car with a good crash-test rating will bear the brunt of a crash with a larger sedan, SUV or pick up.” The issue also states that “motor-vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people 5-34 years old and that they amount to more than $99 billion a year in medical and lost-work costs because of injuries.” Crash tests show the Smart Car is “jarringly stupid.” Video from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows that in a crash with a mid-size Mercedes C-Class sedan, “the Smart For Two is not only pulverized, with the passenger compartment getting squashed, but it goes airborne like a beach ball.” Just how “smart” is that? Is gas mileage more important that safety? I’d call it “stupid.”

Like burgundy is 2012’s “new black” for fall—serving as a “new neutral hue” that “will soon become the new backbone of your fall wardrobe”—and sixty is the new forty because “people are living longer today, they’re healthier, and they’re enjoying life more,” “smart” is the new “stupid.”

Labeling something “smart” has the automatic implication that it is right and better—when in fact, like the Smart Car, it may be “stupid” (or, at least, have foolish elements).

The April 2012 issue of Consumer Reports has a section titled: “Stopping car crashes with smarter cars,” which focuses on how “talking cars can protect you.” The systems are several steps up from electronic toll collection or the use of drive-by weigh stations favored by truckers. These V2X systems allow cars in the same area to communicate with each other over a wireless network, exchange data about each vehicle’s speed, location, and direction of travel. Consumer Reports admits that “to some this might seem like a Big Brother approach to monitoring driver behavior,” but says: “such a system has the potential to help drivers avoid” crashes. Sounds “smart.” But, Justin Brookman, director of the Consumer Privacy Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, points out: “The concern is that once you set up a mechanism to collect data for one admittedly beneficial use, there are no intrinsic limitations on that data being collected retained, transferred, and used for other purposes.”

We’ve recently seen the collection of data being done without consumer approval as in the case against Google and Apple. On January 23, the US Supreme Court ruled that use of a wireless GPS device attached by law enforcement to monitor a vehicle, without a court order as required for wire taps and other types of monitoring the citizenry is unlawful, a violation of the 4th Amendment. Yet, unauthorized data collection is one of the primary concerns facing consumers in states with mandated “smart” meters.

If you live in a state that is not requiring smart meters, you may not know what they are. Smart meters replace your standard analog electric meter with a digital one that can be read from a central office rather than a meter reader visiting your home—thus eliminating hundreds of jobsPresident Obama says they are “devices that will have a direct benefit for consumers who want to save money on their electric bills.” They will “Allow you to actually monitor how much energy your family is using”—“even by the hour.” But these smart meters allow others to “monitor” your electricity use as well. Additionally, the next generation of smart meters will probably have controls that let the electric company turn off your electricity at peak times—or, perhaps, if you use too much. Only then, will they actually save any electricity.

Addressing smart meters, Mark Levin, talk show host and author of Liberty and Tyranny and Ameritopiasays: “I don’t need some smart meter telling me when to increase or reduce the heat. We also know when the peak periods are—when we are home! That’s when the peak periods are. Think we are that stupid?” He captures the concern so many feel when he says: “It is there to monitor you and dictate to you.” He concludes, “The less information they have about real American citizens the better.”

Mandatory smart meters have constitutional and statute violations, in that they include unreasonable, invasive networking elements to detect, record, report and exploit private customer energy consumption and other personal information, without receiving prior customer agreement. In response to increasing customer objections to the smart meters, many states are now proposing opt-out programs—often with high fees for the customers who do not cooperate with the plan. Without fully understanding the implications, paid for with taxpayer dollars doled out through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (stimulus funds), thousands of Americans have given up freedoms.

Like the Smart Car, smart meters sound good. The Smart Car does get good gas mileage, but it is dangerous. Smart meters can help manage how energy is used and keep power reliable, therefore keeping customers happy. But smart meters need to be something that people ask for, not something that is forced upon them; something that rewards ratepayers with lower rates for allowing their appliances to be turned off at peak times, not something that charges penalties to opt out.

And we haven’t even touched on the smart grid.

When you hear something being touted as “smart,” beware. Chances are that it is a marketing technique designed to make you think you should have something that is really “stupid.”

Burgundy is the new black. Sixty is the new forty. Smart is the new stupid.

Postman: Ayers Family Put ‘Foreigner’ Obama Through School

CHICAGO – Did the parents of former Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers help finance Barack Obama’s Harvard education?

Did Ayers’ mother believe Obama was a foreign student?

And was the young Obama convinced at the time – long before he even entered politics – that he was going to become president of the United States?

A retired U.S. Postal Service carrier who delivered mail to Tom and Mary Ayers in a Chicago suburb in the late 1980s and early 1990s and claims to have met Obama in front of the Ayers home emphatically says yes to all three questions.

Allen Hulton, who was commended for 39 years of honorable service with the USPS, has given a sworn affidavit to investigators commissioned by Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio to determine whether Obama is eligible for Arizona’s 2012 election ballot. Hulton has recorded about three hours of video interviews with WND.

Energy Secretary Chu Gives Himself An A Grade For Handling Higher Gas Prices

The Obama Team gives themselves high grades even when they fail. Here is another example of the hubris these people exhibit. Energy Secretary Chu gives him self an A for handling the rising price of gasoline. How high would prices need to go before his grade would move down to a B? I think the real problem is that these socialists are just delusional.

WH Press Corps Laughs At Biden "500 Year" Statement

Biden is so stupid in some of his comments that even the liberals that dominate the White House press corps can’t keep from laughing at him. His 500 year statement will go in the Biden hall of fame for stupid, uninformed comments.

This Amazing Video Debunks Evolution

Evolution has many weaknesses as a scientific theory, and the greatest weakness is the idea of matter moving from chaos to order. This video shows the complexity of the human embryo from conception to birth. It was created using the latest technology and it blows evolution away. Only God could create this order from chaos.

Sheriff Joe: Obama Investigation Could Lead To Ballot Denial For Obama

Sheriff Joe Arpaio was recently on the Roger Hedgecock radio show, talking about his recent press conference about Obama’s forged documents.

Sheriff Joe believes an investigation could lead to Obama being taken off ballots. Watch below.

Forgerygate: Obama Documents – UFOs, Bigfoot And The Link That Is Not Missing

Question Mark SC Forgerygate: Obama Documents – UFOs, Bigfoot and the Link that is Not Missing

In that vast flying gaggle of fledgling verbiage-magicians, jacked journalists and giant egos like the Huffington Post, can be found about 10-15 stories about UFO’s at any time night or day. Yet how many stories about the dozens of missing documents on Barry or the cries of fraud coming from the dozens of veteran investigators under Maricopa County’s Sheriff Arpaio does on hear? – none. Yes, there have been a few but don’t ask if they were prejudiced, biased, balanced or even tacitly reasonable. Only UFO stories seem worthy of that kind of fairness.

Huff has got some great writers but it always seems like they are an entourage sent to a deep woods junkyard in the country to go around and polish up the wrecks. In the end, the stories, the bias, the celebs, the events, and the topics covered are still a heap of wreckage from America’s junkyard of old usefuls.

Being facetious doesn’t mean you can’t be factual. What is a fact is that Huff-Po and no one else in the pain stream media has ever been forthwith, reasonable or honest concerning Barack Obama’s place of birth and other missing elements of his former life, since they first came into question. The days of investigate journalism are beginning to vanish even in the absence of judges, election officials and states AG’s who still haven’t found their way to Grand Wizard of Oz for some courage.

The big voices and chieftains have spoken.

One video floating around the cyber community for all to see is of Bill O’Reilly saying he doesn’t have time for the questions about the birth certificate. Then he proceeds to explain that the best evidence of is the two birth announcments carefully posted in local newspapers in Hawaii. He does not say that his findings are to be compared with the months of concerted efforts of dozens of seasoned investigators assisting Sheriff Arpaio and their findings. We can be thankful that he is not saying that, but his silence is only more of the same; it is now failure to reckon with a not so distant rumbling volcano.

Three years of making fun of “birthers” has resulted in a long list of undignified, indecent and unkind names to describe those in search of some facts. They are called crazies, conspiracy nuts, and a plethora of names that in the end, all add up to calling them all fools.

The search for Bigfoot, UFOs and vampires!

They are added to the class of wandering wayward wonkers who are endlessly searching for the leprechauns of Galway Bay. They are seen as the next best prospect for an episode of Mythbusters, or people who should just give up and join up with the search for Bigfoot gang. They are on a level with those who really think that werewolves and vampires stalk our city streets until dawn. They are held in the same regard as those who claim to have been abducted by aliens and taken aboard UFOs.

Oddly, none of these things are mentioned in their respective websites or blogs, unlike Huff-Po, UFO reports and other speculative myths and folklore are not tolerated. Among them are law enforcement officials, clergy, writers, politicians, statesmen professionals of every kind, military personnel and a lot of very serious down to earth Americans who believe very strongly that they have been lied to along with the entire nation.

Are the lawless calling the lawmen incompetent liars?

Sheriff Arpaio’s posse of retired veteran lawmen are among the best there is and their findings are being summarily dismissed out of hand by a band of media wimps and colluding crafty  leftist lawyers who think they can hold back the tsunami of public discontent. Lincoln, who is famous for saying “you can fool some of the people all of the time…” may be crying out from his grave – ‘these are the people I was talking about.’

Sheriff Arpaio’s conclusions are clear and precise but the media is still adamantly insisting that after Barack was nagged by millions of searchers and notables such as Donald Trump and popped up with the new previously unseen birth certificate that an end to all things had come. Now the word ‘debunked’ is used when describing the call for proof. As if birthers have been de-mythed and lawmen have been de-fanged, the whole matter has been retired. Not so fast.

Arpaio believes there’s a stench coming from the barn. The Sheriff said, “Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic, – My investigators believe that the long-form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in paper format as claimed by the White House.”

Forensics and Documents – The All-Important Link That Is – Not Missing.

The one supremely important difference between every conspiracy theory to come down the pike in the history of our nation and the missing documents and paper birth certificate of Barack Obama is singular, simple and glaringly obvious, yet it is overlooked by almost everyone.

What actual notarized, signed, officiated and certified documents exist on bigfoot, vampires, the extra shooter in Dallas, little green men, UFOs, Amelia Earhart, the bogey man, J.D. Cooper? The answer of course is – none.

How many birth records, school records and early records of childhood exist on Barack Obama? The answer here is obvious – all of them.

It takes no great power of deductive reasoning to see that the one difference between the birther’s assertions and all other theories now known is that documents for this great question do exist; the only difference is that they are blocked from public scrutiny.

The bottom line is nothing can be called a conspiracy, a theory, the truth or a complete lie until documents that do exist are seen by the eyes of anyone who needs to see them. All the hemming and hawing is so much noise without the available facts being seen, opened to the public and then acted upon. All forensics, law and common sense hinges on this fundamental principle. It is so embarrassingly rudimentary that it is almost painful to add this simple example.

Exactly who is driving your family car?

If after taking your teen to the DMV to get his or her first driver’s license you refuse to produce the required documents such as proof of residence, certificate of birth et al; what should you do next? Would you ask your teen to invite all his friends and a few relatives to the DMV and stand around calling the DMV workers, nuts, conspiracy theorists, crazies and whatever else came to mind.

Finally would you expect your teen to be granted a license to drive? Here is the saddest conclusion. Mr. Obama was given a license and is now driving your car, the car you call the United States of America.
