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

Unfortunately not only they will reap what they have sown.

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.

Eric Holder versus journalism
Salon, by Alex Pareene    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/24/2013 10:19:23 AM     Post Reply
Attorney General Eric Holder personally signed off on the warrant naming Fox News journalist James Rosen a “possible co-conspirator” in violation of the Espionage Act, Michael Isikoff reported yesterday. Which is sort of awkward, because Barack Obama also yesterday told the country (the whole country) that he didn’t want to criminalize reporting, and that he was going to ask his Justice Department to make sure not to do that anymore. Rosen wasn’t charged. In truth, the government never really intended on charging him. (Snip)That’s the scandal: That the government could charge a journalist with, effectively, spying, simply for reporting.

A Toxic Combination

Of all the scandals in his administration that President Obama knows nothing about, the one Americans find most appalling is the decision by the Internal Revenue Service to target the president’s political adversaries. What’s more, as subsequent congressional testimony has made clear, the IRS isn’t particularly repentant about its actions. One thing Republicans and Democrats should therefore be able to agree on is that this is no time to significantly expand the IRS’s power. Yet that is exactly what will happen under Obamacare if no action is taken. A simple proposal: Remove the IRS from any role

Rookie Florida Senator Marco Rubio continues to work tirelessly to get the United States to annex Mexico, though an exhaustive (and exhausting) search of his 2010 election campaign reveals no promises to do, nor even a mention that he might consider doing such an outlandish thing. Au the contraire, the pre-election Rubio said all the right things about line-cutters and lawbreakers. That’s one of the reasons he’s a senator today. There are only two sure consequences of the current 800-page immigration hairball before Congress. The first is that a minimum of 11 million citizens of other countries, more Mexicans

   

 



 
President Obama dreamily wants
to scale back the war on terror
New York Daily News, by Editorial    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/24/2013 6:04:56 AM     Post Reply
President Obama declared on Thursday that it’s time for the U.S. to leave behind the global war on terror. He might first try convincing America’s war-waging global enemies to do the same. Almost a dozen years after 9/11, the President wishfully hopes to demilitarize national security in the age of Islamist radicalism. He judges the country ready for such a step because a long fight has markedly degraded the attacking capacities of Al Qaeda and affiliates. Even so, Obama dared not utter the word victory in his address at the National Defense University, because plainly the hostiles are still coming

Held for $3 Million for 32 Days

In a strange true-life story that seems ripped from TV crime drama (rather than the other way around), a New York City man was kidnapped and held for ransom for over a month, before the NYPD rescued him this week. Pedro Portugal was grabbed off the street in broad daylight on April 18, and held hostage in a Queens warehouse (pictured above) while a group of men attempted to extract a $3 million ransom from his family in Ecuador. Police in both countries (with the help of the State Department) tracked down the kidnappers,

Obama Asks Staff to

WASHINGTON —In a dramatic departure from existing White House procedures, President Obama requested today that his staff start cc’ing him on stuff. “Look, I know a lot of you think I’m really busy and you don’t want to bother me,” the President reportedly told his staff in an Oval Office meeting. “But cc me anyway. It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”

O ‘ends’ terror war

Amid catcalls from a Leftist heckler too blitheringly stupid to understand her dream was coming true, President Obama yesterday declared his intention to end the War on Terror — not quite 12 years since the 9/11 attacks. In what may have been the most important speech of his presidency, Obama said he would ask Congress to join him in efforts to “refine, and ultimately repeal,” the Authorization to Use Military Force passed three days after 9/11. In other words, he intends to write the War on Terror out of US law. “This war, like all wars, must end,” he said.

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.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
