Media Malpractice

Despite no evidence (as of this writing), the lamestream media continues to pound the table endlessly with accusations that President Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election.

This is the same media that ignored:

• The Monica Lewinsky scandal and made excuses for Clinton’s impeachment
• The weaponizing of the IRS, the EPA, the Bureau of Land Management, the NLRB, etc
• The Benghazi scandal and cover-up
• The Fast and Furious scandal
• The Obamacare lies
• The dreadful economy
• The burgeoning national debt under Obama
• The corruption of Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch
• Hillary’s indictable federal offenses
• Witness tampering by Bill Clinton with his tarmac meeting with Lynch during the Hillary investigation
• Obama's ransom paid to Iran for hostages
• The illegal international donations and the quid pro quo emanating from the Clinton Foundation
• Butcher Abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell
• The swelling welfare rolls
• The influence of Valerie Jarrett
• The real unemployment rate
• The idiocy of Joe Biden
• Obama’s Executive Orders
• The first ever credit downgrade of the United States
• The high unemployment rate among African-Americans
• The thousands of business-killing regulations
• Crony capitalism
• Van Jones
• The promise that if the Stimulus Bill was passed, unemployment would never climb above 8%.
• Jeremiah Wright
• "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."
• Bill Ayers
• The worst economic recovery since the Great Depression
• Kill lists
• The drop in real median income
• Backdoor amnesty for illegal immigrants
• Obama claiming to have visited 57 states during his 2008 campaign
• George Soros influence over the Democratic Party
• The Gibson Guitar raid
• General Motors bondholders getting screwed in the bailout
• The closings of GM dealerships owned by donors to the Republican Party
• The National Labor Relations Board’s treatment of Boeing
• The voter intimidation case against New Black Panthers
• The lowest labor participation rate in decades
• “Shovel ready wasn’t as shovel ready as we thought”
• Teen unemployment over 70%
• The pathetic GDP growth
• Obama’s speech advocating that we should “be our brother’s keeper” while his brother lives in a hut in Africa.
• Donna Brazile's feeding of debate questions to Clinton
• Rezko

Obama's Core Principles

“One of my core principles is that I will never engage in a politics in which I’m trying to divide people . . . That’s a core principle — that’s not something I’d violate.” ~ Obama

He left out a few areas where he has repeatedly divided Americans:

If you:

• Are a Christian or 
• A Republican or
• Believe the Constitution should be adhered to (especially the Second Amendment) or
• Oppose gay marriage or 
• Are a member of a Tea Party group or 
• Are Pro-life or
• Are in the military or 
• Oppose his economic policy or  
• Are a police officer or 
• Live in the South or 
• Oppose his use of executive orders or
• Are wealthy or 
• Work on Wall Street or 
• Own a business or 
• Watch Fox News or 
• Oppose his foreign policy or
• Want real investigations into Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the IRS scandal or 
• Want the borders enforced.

Besides that, his core principle, the one that he would not violate, is never to engage in politics "in which I'm trying to divide people."

100% Failure Rate - Part III

Back in 2009, I published my first blog proving 100% failure rate of the federal government. In it I highlighted such things as:

• Social Security
• The United States Post Office
• Amtrak
• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
• The War on Poverty
• The Stimulus Bill
• Cash for Clunkers

In 2010, I published 100% Failure Rate - Part II which highlighted the latest news about the insolvency of Social Security. 

Now, with almost six years of the Obama Administration under our belt, I thought it was time to update the federal governments absolutely heinous record of doing anything right. How about these?

• Veteran's Affairs
• Obamacare
• The Secret Service
• Fast and Furious
• The Ebola outbreak
• ISIS
• Benghazi
• The economy
• The national debt
• The IRS scandal
• Welfare
• The Obamacare website
• Enforcing our borders

Much, much more is outlined in my book, Pritical Thinking-The Lost Art of Critical Thinking and Common Sense in Politics and Public Policy.

The Obama Slippery Slope

Since the Democrats have no problem with Obama using his pen and his phone to trample the Constitution by making dozens of changes to the Obamacare law, rewriting immigration law, using the EPA to regulate us to death, and cover up scandals that would make Nixon blush - IRS/Tea Party, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, NSA (to name a few), I am looking forward to the day when the next unprincipled, narcissistic, radical, agenda-driven, thin-skinned, asshole Republican President takes over the White House.

We can assume that Democrats will have no problem when the new GOP President uses his pen and phone to:

• Reverse dozens of Obamacare provisions.
• Cut all welfare payments for able-bodied recipients after 90 days.
• Outlaw all abortions.
• Cut the corporate income tax to 11%.
• Fire the Federal Reserve Chairman and appoints someone who will stop the perpetual quantitative easing.
• Abolish the Departments of Education, Transportation, and Commerce, HHS, the TSA, the EPA, the IRS, Homeland Security, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the USDA.
• Order the military to the southern border.
• Increase military spending by 50%.
• Reverse whatever amnesty executive order Obama is about to hand down. 
• Cut the budgets of all remaining government agencies by 20%.
• End the practice of employers' withholding of income taxes. 
• Privatize Social Security.
• Sell 75% of all federal land owned in western states.
• Fund the drilling for oil and natural gas in all 50 states.
• Abolish the federal minimum wage.
• Implement a flat tax. 
• Withhold payment to the United Nations.
• End all foreign aid with the exception of Israel and African nations.

Pushing an Agenda

How do you gain and maintain power when your agenda conflicts with the majority of the population and you cannot win the debate on its merits? You lie, cheat, intimidate, and bribe.

Lies: Benghazi cover-up. Obamacare is not a tax, your premiums will go down, and it will lower the deficit. Global warming. Claim your opponents are racists, bigots, and homophobic. Fast and Furious. Consequences of sequester cuts. 

Cheating: IRS scandal. Voter intimidation. Illegal voter registrations. Recess appointments. Chrysler bondholders during the GM bailout. 

Intimidation: Gibson Guitar raid. NLRB and Boeing. Occupy Wall Street. Union thuggery. EPA regulations. Fox News reporter James Rosen. Releasing the names of Romney donors on Obama reelection website (some were also audited by the IRS).

Bribery: Record numbers of people on disability and food stamps. Millions receive perpetual welfare payments, housing subsidies, and cell phones. Corporate welfare and bailouts. Crony capitalism.

The Most Transparent Administration in History

“This is the most transparent administration in history” ~ Obama in February.

Let's count the ways:

1. Obamacare – No debate on C-SPAN as promised, the bill was not put online for five days as promised, no one read the bill, it passed the House using budget reconciliation, and bribed senators.
2. Benghazi
3. IRS scandal
4. His college records
5. Fast and Furious
6. Drone attacks

On the other hand, he has been very transparent in regards to his ideological motivations:

1. "I want to spread the wealth around"
2. "Punish your enemies"
3. "I don’t want them punished with a baby" speaking about one of his daughters getting pregnant. 
4. "God bless you” addressing Planned Parenthood
5. "I believe in American Exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."
6. “You didn’t build that!”
7. “It's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion . . ."
8. “Under my plan of cap and trade, electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket”
9. "We can't -- drive our SUVs and you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on you know, 72 degrees at all times . . .”
10. "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."
11. “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”
