A Pyrrhic Victory for America’s Youth
National Review Online, by Scott W. Atlas

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 11/12/2012 5:37:45 AM

Dancing in Chicago, young voters gleefully celebrated President Obama’s victory. Indeed, voters younger than 30 may well have changed the outcome of the race. They represented 19 percent of all voters, even more than they did in 2008, and they favored President Obama by 60 to 37 percent, according to exit polling. One college student asked me, “What exactly are they so excited about?” Presumably, they aren’t celebrating their job prospects. Under this administration, unemployment of younger Americans and recent college graduates is not very different from the scandalous unemployment rates of youth in failing European countries

With their morals as loose as their thinking, at least their Valtrex will be ´free´. This election really was about free birth control and abortion. Pathetic.

Maybe they think that obamacare means free health care? Maybe they think that now film stars and music pop stars will want them to hang out with them? Maybe they won´t have to pay back student loans? Maybe they were waving around their arms just to show of their new tattoos.

Bless them. Just not a whit of common sense.

Very few of the college aged students that voted would have received a passing grade in the high school civics class I took in 1976. Here´s an example of who is deciding our fate.

Open letter to Obama voters:

All of you who voted for Obama have done so preaching “good intentions”.

However there are unintended consequences. The under 40 demographic voted to direct Washington to disinherit them, tax their retired parent´s dividend income that they are living on, force small business employees to fire employees and NEVER grow beyond where they are right now.

The “Taxed” pay for government services that the “Untaxed” use and yet they are accused of NOT paying their fair share. For every government job created, 5 private sector jobs need to be create to cover the salary with those tax receipts. Washington has failed to create that environment on Main Street so they borrow without conscience and our children’s financial future is savaged!

Charities will now receive less in contributions because Washington has confiscated those donations to spend on government waste in the form of higher taxes without any conscience and lack of fiduciary responsibility (continued).

(continued)(open letter to Obama supporters)

Congress collects 1 million dollar pensions, have their own Cadillac health care plans, refuses to be audited and has create a 16 trillion dollar accumulated deficit and also a 120 trillion dollar unfunded liability fiasco.

This is all been able to occur because the Media and the MSM have successfully demonized ANYONE who just wants to balance the budget and characterized them as haters using the Progressive Hate-Cards of Class | Faith | Gender | Race | and political party.

This march to Big Government will culminate into complete collapse of America just like Rome. Your vote will be held to account in the upcoming elections in 2014 and 2016. The two party system is financially devastating the middle class and but you continue to be a willing participant in this atrocity. I am closing my business of 28 years because of the 28% of voters (like you) who voted for Obama. My two employees will also be unemployed because of your vote.

Your conscience will haunt you because you believed the thieves on Wall Street and the idiots in Washington. I did not! But please continue to outsource your thinking and destroy America. For me, I will continue to advocate less government and more Freedom!

It disturbs me that so many of these young people seemed so unmarked by life. Their faces show no signs of having ever had to worry about anything.

I wonder how many are still being subsidized by parents and grandparents?

The day after the election one of these charming creatures called on behalf of my alma mater. I don´t think she liked what I told her.

It´s pretty obvious that the majority of them are not voting based on the issues.
Sadly, many of these people are ripe to be taken-in by con artists of one kind or another.

I feel like dancing, too -- I no longer feel any fear or concern for these brainless, hedonistic kiddies and the mountains of debt that will come crashing down on them in their middle years -- debt run up by the hero for whom they voted. Absolved!

Celebrating their power? What did they win?

LOL and reference the man in that awful old Movie, "Army of Darkness" who chops off his misbehaving hand and as it crawls across the floor asks ,"Who´s laughing now?"

Is that what "pyrrhic" Means? LOL>

There is a saying that " Youth must be served." and another that says: " Youth must be served and then carried out." I am still pondering that.

#14, do you think these clowns care? They live in their parents home, get free food, laundry, no utility bills. If I could have slept till noon every day and had all my needs seen to, why work? The fun will start when mommy and daddy say no more. Or they pass away and their lazy offspring can´t pay the taxes on the property. Oops.

If someone up to age 26 is considered to be a child for the purpose of being on their parents health insurance, why are they otherwise considered to be capable of adult responsibilities like voting? Just saying.

No 6 hit it on the head. There will be less donations for charity.

As I drive thru the McDonald Drive thru I was asked to donate to Ronald Mcdonald´s.

I told the kid to give me my coffee and then told him to get his donation from his Federal government.

That is the new norm. They wanted this life style. So be it.

Boehner: House won´t just ´take up

The Hill [DC], by Russell Berman & Mike Lillis    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/23/2013 3:26:29 PM     Post Reply
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said the House won't pick up the Senate immigration bill and pass it. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," said the statement from Boehner, his top three lieutenants and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on immigration. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," the statement said.

President Obama offers only weasel words to explain deaths in Libya and IRS abuses. He’s the master of verbal evasion. House Republicans need to replace debate with action to hold the president accountable on these issues. To get to the bottom of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, House Republicans should issue a formal resolution demanding to know where the president was on the night September 11 and what role he played. Obama needs to be put on the hot seat. Benghazi- For eight months, the White House has maneuvered

Much has been written and said about the astoundingly tone deaf performance of White House spokesman Jay Carney during this past month of scandals. The former journalist has lost the confidence of the people who were once his colleagues due to his unwillingness to tell the truth about his own deceptive statements (never mind those he represents in front of the press) about the Benghazi talking points or even to acknowledge that he has changed his story. The same applies to the shifting story he has told about the Internal Revenue Service scandal

A nonprofit connected to Rep. Corrine Brown (D., Fla.) and run by a local political power player overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million, the Florida Times-Union reported. According to an audit by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Community Rehabilitation Center in Jacksonville overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million. Reggie Gaffney, a former Jacksonville Port Authority board member, runs the nonprofit, which provides medical services for mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS for low-income residents. Brown’s daughter, Shantrel, is a lobbyist for Arlington-based Alcade and Fay, whose clients include the nonprofit. C

Former Cambridge neighbors of a Russian mixed martial arts brawler shot dead by an FBI agent early yesterday in Florida — after ?being questioned about his ties to the marathon bombing and a Waltham triple murder — said he was nasty. Ibragim Todashev, 27, also hung around with slain marathon bombing mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 — swilling beer and eating chicken on a stoop on Harding Street, they said. “I was the happiest person when they moved. ... It’s a little more peaceful since they left,” a neighbor told the Herald yesterday of the Russian buddies.

The Real Voter Suppression of 2012
National Review Online, by John Fund    Original Article

The 2012 election season was filled with angry cries of “voter suppression,” almost all of them regarding attempts by states to require voter ID and otherwise improve ballot integrity. Bill Clinton warned that “there has never been — in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the other Jim Crow burdens on voting — the determined effort to limit the franchise that we see today.” Democratic-party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said “photo-ID laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax.” All of this proved to be twaddle.

The Justice Department’s secret seizure of phone records from The Associated Press and its monitoring of Fox News reporter James Rosen are nothing less than thuggish attempts to criminalize the practice of journalism — the only profession specifically protected by the US Constitution. Free and open inquiry is also the cornerstone of our democracy, a legacy of the Enlightenment that found its clearest expression in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” By which the Founders specifically meant political speech. They understood that, even with the checks and balances

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
