TAKING THE LOW ROAD

The definition of prejudice is playing out in Ferguson Missouri, prejudice is an irrational pre-judgment  based on insufficient knowledge and biased assumptions. Prejudice and racism is not a mindset owned in exclusivity by any group whether in the minority or majority. 

The tinder box of angry unrest has been lit in Missouri by race baiters and victimhood apologists against their own police force based on sketchy information. What is known is that a man was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson Missouri. Was it an act of police brutality and unnecessary, or was it a justified shooting? The facts are not yet known and the evidence that leads to one or the other conclusion needs to be assessed by level headed unbiased truth seekers not riot instigators.

Should it matter that the victim was black? Should it matter that the police officer is white? If police in any town or city in the country uses unwarranted lethal force on citizens then we all expect them to be charged and prosecuted for the criminal act. Being a police or a federal law enforcement officer does not make you above the law, or grant you immunity if you break the law. Nor should being a police officer turn your rights upside-down and make you guilty until you prove your innocence. 

Americans know that as in any organization or group there are always some bad apples in the barrel and our police forces across the country have always contained corrupt cops. The problem becomes either the perception or the reality of the "Thin blue line" or the fraternity within the police force. The perception is that cops protect cops by either looking the other way or actively helping to cover-up corruption. 

However beyond corrupt policing there are also two other anomalies that show up in any police force. One is ineptitude and the other is burn out. Rookie police officers that are either poorly trained or lack experience  can react overly aggressive and be labeled "trigger happy".  While on the other extreme officers that have years of street policing experience can become jaded, arrogant and hostile given the high stress that comes with the job. These are not corrupt officers yet these are equally not the face of the finest peace officers patrolling the streets of our communities.

"There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics" as Mark Twain suggests about how facts can be misconstrued to reach ignorant conclusions. Many race baiters suggest that statistics show that police shoot Black and Hispanic men more than white men and that statistic proves that there is a police prejudice against minorities across the country. That statistic is true but the conclusion is flawed.

Another statistic shows that minorities commit the larger percentage of crimes in this country. Therefore if police are confronting crime and crimes occur more often among minorities then as a consequence of their job, to arrest lawbreakers, they will have a higher percentage of encounters with minorities. It also means that a higher percentage of those encounters could end up being fatal, either by use of necessary force or unjustified and corrupt use of force.

In recent years a new term has been coined for people that ignore police commands and refuse to show surrender, we call it "suicide by cop".  It is interesting to note that these incidences have increased in our culture yet no one seems to be able to determine why. Are police too trigger happy today? Are people more belligerent toward authority?  Are more lawbreakers on mind and mood altering drugs?

The truth is that most Americans don't want our police force to shoot citizens and ask questions later. Equally most good police officers don't want to shoot and kill anyone on the street. They understand that they are not judge, jury and executioner and would prefer to keep their weapon holstered when making arrests.

Making this fatal police incident politically charged and racists is not just a mistake before the facts are revealed but a wayward mindset for a community that knows that there is another statistic to consider. That is that most of the victims of crimes reside in the urban minority areas. Some of these protesters will needs the help of law enforcement in the future. Will they be made gun shy, or confrontationally challenged and either stay in their patrol cars or not respond at all? 

Indeed in many cities the bigger complaint against police forces in America's urban areas riddled with crime and gangs, is that police avoid those neighborhoods and victims feel abandoned by law enforcement. Police can't be both the enemy and the protector.

The cynical destruction of minority urban areas is caused by three competing messages, hostility toward police, lack of witnesses because they are intimidated with fear by gangs and the arrival of political charlatans that use tragedies in their communities to gain votes and distract people from real solutions.

 

How many innocent minorities (children) are killed in drive by shootings in this country? Today's inner city gangs are no different than when mafia owned the city streets. One of their greatest weapons is intimidation. Yet unlike the witness protection program that was instrumental in prosecuting organized crime figures, we have few ways to protect victims and witnesses against gang violence in most of our urban areas.

Instead of listening to race baiters and leftists victimhood chanters, people should wake up and work with law enforcement to arrive at practical solutions to keep their neighborhoods safer, their children more respectful and prove that material poverty does not excuse moral poverty.         

FUNDRAISING ON FAILURE, CASHING IN ON CORRUPTION

The President has become a political caricature representing all that is empty, vacuous and vapid in the jaded game of campaign fundraising. It would appear that President Obama's sphere of messianic influence has shrunk considerably, while his arrogant partisan doubletalk, has reached new heights of lowbrow barking. 

Since his election in 2008 this Democrat President has been consistently competent and tirelessly wedded to one role above all other duties as leader of the free world ; party politics.

His constant fundraising and campaigning has been one long nightmare for those seeking the leader of the free world to put away the teleprompter and lead. President Obama's political partisanship is so ubiquitous in his administration, that even his supporters realize that he places his Party and ideology well before America's wellbeing.

 

His cynical promises, out-right lies and arrogant taunting of conservatives, that never let up, before, after, and in the years between elections has finally caused his supporters to cry uncle. His partisan bashing at the teleprompter has been so unrelenting, it has caused sane voters to question whether the President leads the nation or the Democrat Party.

Prior to Obama's presidency Americans believed that once a politician, especially a president, was elected, then campaigning and fundraising would be put aside, for the oval office demanded a leader to make non-partisan decisions to serve all citizens of our nation. Yet instead, this President and his progressive Democrat Party have fused political power and ideology into a new cultism. The agenda for this progressive Party is but one agenda; to sell their ideology tirelessly to the American people until all capitulate to their view. 

However, the ideology of Obama's leftist Party is not just a delusional denial of history, (socialism creates a diminished enslaved society at best) its practical implementation under his pen and phone directive has proven to be not just a failure, but a regression. A surprise to his loyal followers, perhaps, (not for conservatives) that their progressive regulatory crony capitalism has caused a stagnant economy. Obama and the Democrats  continue to call it a recovering economy, but most recognize it as a contracting economy, especially the current  generation of educated but underachieving youth, struggling to claim their financial independence.

The ideology of diplomacy and concessions to our enemies on the world stage, fairs even worse, as America's power and prestige among allies and enemies continues to degrade, leaving a void of deterrence and emboldening sadistic aggressors. Like a toothless lion sitting on the outside of a pride's territory, no longer growling, absent the ability to bite, America's foreign policy under Obama has devolved into a bystander nation that shows disinterest while the world rightfully ignores us.

The poll numbers reflect that finally Democrat voters are waking up and are no longer willing to give the President and his Party a pass, as they once did. They understand that the Party's excuses from blaming Bush, to the market meltdown amid their constant finger pointing at Republicans, does not answer why, the oval office has moved onto the putting green.      

        

In fact, with Obama's ratings so low the Democrats must find something more than the "War on Women" to rally voters to support their Party in the November elections. Cynically Obama's new campaign strategy is to claim that Republicans are going to try and impeach him for "doing his job." Those in the know realize it is a political tactic straight out of leftist manifesto.

 He is using Alinsky rule for radicals number 10 below; 

  “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog." (Obama has co-opted impeachment talk to become the victim, falsely suggesting that there is no wrongdoing while he dares and taunts Congress to go up against media and public opinion.)

Obama and the Democrats are extorting money from their donors claiming phony victimhood. Amazingly there are fools opening their wallets to the Democrats under this incredibly arrogant administration that mocks our foundational system. Obama now wants to play the poor besieged underdog while he has bashed his political opponents unrelentingly since taking office? Of course, because any good progressive Democrat politician knows about radical rule number 8.

  “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Bash conservatism continually as the reason for all American woes, regardless of facts and truth forcing conservatives to always start a debate from a defensive posture.)

The progressive Democrats have insinuated themselves into the three most powerful places of influence in American culture, our schools, the media and in the public unions that operate our state and federal government. They have been controlling the dialog with a strange elixir of half truths, exaggerated ideology and false humility.    

We have been told that America is in a culture war between liberal ideology and conservatism. However, the problem is that both liberalism and conservatism have been incorrectly defined by the progressives elites causing millions of Americans to line up on the wrong side and millions more to refuse to line up at all. 

From the problems at the border to our local school's curriculum and all the regulatory big government interference in-between, Americans know that the problems are caused by politicians and money, that have failed us.

But we also know that the solutions are not elusive, instead they are already baked in America's apple pie recipe, the Constitution. Our Constitution served us well before progressives infiltrated Washington and stacked the judicial branch with jurists loyal to liberalism transforming this nation into a perverse classist elitism of big government with federal nanny control freaks.

We as citizens have the deed to Washington, we own the capital outright but just like those that have crossed over our border ignoring our laws, Democrats led by Obama defy and taunt us as they ignore their oath of office. November will be another chance for Americans to support their country and Constitution by taking the Senate away from this corrupt and cynically shameless political party. 

LIARS AND DODGER AND BARES OH MY

The Democrat Party is engaging in an aggressive trafficking of lies, distortions and surreal fact dodging of the reality staring in front of the American people. They apparently believe that low-info voters will close their eyes and not notice the crumbling bricks of the Democrat's tower of babble being felled by the simple force of truthful actuality.

The recent Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision handing a blow to Obamacare along with the heating up of damming evidence of corruption in the IRS  and  Benghazi scandals are alone enough to expect Democrats to run from the White House border. Yet, instead they have doubled down on false prophecies and brazenly defy evidence, to continue to sell illusion.

Harry Reid is calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a white man while Nancy Pelosi winded at a press briefing, that five men on the court did a gynecologic exam on American women and denied them the right to use diaphragms. In order to believe Senator Reid and Representative Pelosi you can't just be low-info, you are in worse shape than that, in fact, pinch yourself, are you alive?

Every day the multiple political con games of the Obama administration and his Democrat Party are being exposed. Shamelessly, this does not cause either the President or the Party to admit failing instead they twerk and prance onward through the forest of scandals, singing their lies and lame excuses.

The border crises has the progressives re-scripting  their defensive rants against concerned Americans by using spell-check to find and replace  "racists" to "bigots". Words and phrases like deportation, sovereignty and  illegal aliens, have now been flagged as politically incorrect  and bigoted terminology by the smug morally superior narcissistic leftist.

Their progressive yellow brick road has lead America to conclude that the President is not just a fraudulent wizard pontificating plenty of hot air without a balloon, but that he and his party are missing brains, a heart  and the nerve to be honest about failure.

The mainstream media might still be in the Democrat camp, feverously oiling the tin man while they allow the scarecrow to get away with brainless comments about the Hobby Lobby ruling without challenging her fabricated facts. Nor do they slap down the cowardly lion that hides behind the Senate majority  podium as he continues to slander the reputations of good men without consequences. However, time and truth have an incredibly simple way of pouring cold water on the stains of witchy lies and melting away their spells. 

The land of Donkey behinds of a different color is no longer sprouting rainbows or able to stuff, polish, shine and brush away the corrosive, corrupt and crony policies that have emboldened our enemies and make us vulnerable to worse than just mockery.  

Americans have been in the poppy or poopy fields too long and despite their one upon a time belief, in the wizard of redistribution, job creation, affordable healthcare, defender against terrorism and transparent effective government, they see the little man behind the curtain, teleprompting a misinformation fairy tale.

Even the most gullible lullaby league and lollipop guild munchkin voters are no longer singing "Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la," in support of the President and his Party, who's leadership bell is out of order. They are realizing that the constant knock of hollow excuses that blames the GOP for every domestic and foreign crises caused by their policies, is as cowardly as a lion chasing "Toto".

Democrats lie about their corruption while the GOP burrows its head in the sand, as both parties await another election. Meanwhile the country reels with crises after crises wondering with worry, frustration and growing disdain, that nothing and no one, is defending the citizens against the bureaucratic flying monkeys stomping on their rights. 

They are not just ignoring the failures of their policies and ideology but they are delusional in believing that the public  will continue to view them as the good witch when their reign ends. The signs are visible in  the dismal polls that reflect how their President will go down in history.

Yes Obama, the leader of the Democrat Party, "will be his, will be his, will be history" but they won't glorify his name, instead his legacy will finally reflect the truth; his partisan progressive politics without the "ruby slippers" of media propaganda, shrivels up its socialists legs under the weight of its deceit.

The mayors of Munchkin D.C.  need to start  joining Dorothy-ian  Americans  in a quest to appreciate that there is no place like America, and start respecting her proud Constitution and rule of law.   

Calculated Chaos

The  administration and his Democrat Party  have been sending the world the clear message  that our American borders are open for illegal entry. Obama's lawless lack of border enforcement and continual public advocacy for immigration reform that would reward lawbreakers with amnesty has led to child exploitation.By Obama's unilateral implementation of the Dream Act and not enforcing deportation laws, the President mocks his sworn oath of office and has created a humanitarian crises.

Poll after poll, time after time, the American public in plurality have sent Washington a clear message against proposed amnesty for those who have demonstrated contemptuous ignorance of our nation's bedrock basis of freedom; respect and compliance with the law.  

There is no rule of law on immigration under Obama for he and his Party have politicized America's security. The Obama arrogance and his party of progressive prevaricators keep suggesting that America is a democracy; wrong, and that the people support immigration reform, wrong; and Congress, specifically the GOP has stopped immigration reform; wrong again. America is a democratic Republic; correct, the public is clamoring for border security; correct, the constituents or the taxpayers stopped the gang of eight's amnesty bill; correct.  

   

 Politicians on the left treat America as neither a democracy nor a Republic for they ignore the public will (Obamacare), ignore  Congressional decisions (recess appointment, defeat of Dream Act) and ignore state rights.

They have used their statists mindset to appoint the activists judges necessary to misconstrue our Constitution and nullify the voice of the majority. No greater example of this elite statism are the liberal judges on the Federal Circuit Court and their esoteric leftist nonsensical interpretations of the 14th Amendment that has born America "anchor babies", and overturned people's referendums on marriage laws.

This fickle adherence to comply only to laws that one agrees with while discounting those one dislikes is the loose thread, that continues to be pulled by Obama and his party that is fast becoming the unraveling of the fragile fabric of American justice.

Obama and his party claim that child crises on our border is spontaneous and unrelated to Obama's policies yet on the other side of their mouth they argue that the solution is immigration reform or policy change. Not only is this another Democrat lie and a ploy to import more votes for their progressive causes it shows their utter disdain for the human tragedy their political goals have created.  

Those paying attention to the unconscionable flood of illegal child immigrants pouring into our borders understand that an Obama policy generated the crises. They equally know it to be a cynically calculated political ploy (Cloward-Piven strategy) to challenge compassionate Americans to soften their deportation desires of illegal aliens once they see the sad faces of innocent children warehoused by our government.

The theater is not yet full but backstage the props are almost set up for Obama and his socialists actors, to give their command political performance, to beseech the American public to have pity for the plight of these foreign children or should we say their new group of politically exploited victims.

We can hear the them murmuring their scripted lines of lies backstage, as we buy our popcorn and wait for their new political ploy play that is as dog-eared and hackneyed as bad soap opera re-run. The plot, big bad conservatives against child loving liberals, bigots against dreamers and of course as always the appeal to citizen's compassion for the new victims of the big bad heartless conservative America and its border laws.

Get ready for their amnesty push, pout and shout, about the need for immigration reform. Be prepared that the crises will be ramped up as their amnesty talk encourages more parents to hand over their children to the unscrupulous human trafficking network. Be ready for their false arguments, phony excuses, empty promises and complete denial of responsibility for this incredibly cold calculated callousness of standing behind innocent alien children to promote their agenda.

From closing the White House tours to this reckless child migration this President and Party has shown the public their empty agenda souls will exploit anyone, yes even innocent children. Any real leader and compassionate President would be handling this humanitarian crises of children suffering at our borders by both discouraging it through use of the bully pulpit and organizing a task force to return these children to their parents.

How many times has Obama called a press conference to tell parents abroad to stop sending their children? Informing them that their children will be deported quickly? Scolding them that they are sending their children to a possible death, worse case and multiple abuse by traffickers, best case? When has the President of the United States used his international podium to discourage illegal entry?    

Yet unlike legal entry, the children currently being imported to the United States have been abused on their journey to the border, abused by the false promise of freedom once over the border and politically used by the Obama administration to force Congress to vote for amnesty. 

Once upon a time in America a call was sent out around the world for working immigrants between 1851 and 1900 to come to America to become new citizens. America needed workers as our industrial economy was expanding. Many foreign families came but equally many unaccompanied children also arrived at immigration ports like Ellis Island, San Francisco and the New York Barge office in Boston Massachusetts.  

Even then however, we did not just take in all the children and adults who arrived by boat wanting to become American citizens. We discriminated against immigrates from communists countries fearing the importation of political and cultural subversions. We also discriminated against immigrants who were infirm because of age or handicaps. Lastly we also rejected immigrants with incurable contagious and or infectious diseases that would lead to infirmity. 

Why? To ensure three common sense principles of homeland security. One, that we do not allow cultural or political activists into the nation to create subversion to our American Constitution and way of life. Two, to not import into our nation an abundance of people unable to work thereby creating an impoverished nation as opposed to a vibrant one. Three, to protect the health and productivity of American citizens from the importation of contagious diseases that would eventuate in infecting the health and productivity of our growing nation. 

Obama's Democrats cannot make the argument that America needs to import workers so they have calculated this chaos and crises manufactured by their Alinsky's playbook. This administration is dumping children rife with contagious disease and parasites into politically red states which threatens the medical health and the financial health of American citizens, yet again, impeachment is off the GOP table. 

 

Obama is inundating  America with illegal aliens at a time when jobs are scarce, drug and terror networks around the world are more pernicious, America's welfare rolls at their highest, nearly half of our state governments are teetering at bankruptcy. Our nation's debt continues to be the "lead anchor, baby" to America's future sailing and under Obama's stewardship America's ship of state has become a shipwreck decaying at our economic dry dock.
