"If at age 20 you are a conservative then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are a liberal then you have no brains."
Sir Winston Churchill
ADVOCATE FOR TERM LIMITS

Obama obviously knows very little about economics, specifically that "Society stagnates when independent productive achievers begin to be socially demonized and even punished for their accomplishments." This dilemma fogs Obama's reality. To him, accepting this truth is a "false choice", his answer to things he doesn't understand. And by the way... where is John Galt?

WELCOME TO WEST NEW YORK

Governor Cuomo wants people who believe in the Right to Life ( technically all Catholics at a minimum) along with the majority of New Yorkers who do not live in the "Peoples Republic of New York" formerly known as "Bloombergistan" where the 2nd amendment is not in effect plus everyone who believes in traditional marriage ( i.e. the majority of Christians, Orthodox Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs etc.) to leave New York.
You are no longer welcome here.  You are without exception, all bigots, homophobes, zealots, extremists, Nazis and potential mass murderers!
This from a man who believes that abortion should be on demand, including right up to the time of delivery and that gender selection should be a valid  reason to terminate a pregnancy.  Scratch a Democrat and you will find a eugenist from the Peoples Republic of China. 
This from a man who screeched about not needing an assault rifle to kill a deer but doesn't seem to understand the difference between real "Assault Weapons" which are already illegal and firearms that only cosmetically look like military weapons.  Ban the e-cigarettes ...they look like real cigarettes!!!
This from a man who clearly believes that thousands of years of religious and moral teachings about men, women and the institution of marriage are suddenly all crap and now we have to think like him and all the other "enlightened"  superior beings who are going to drag us into a "brave new progressive world whether we like it or not.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF MODERN POLITICS

File:Apocalypse vasnetsov.jpg
The American public is moving away from the two major parties and the reasons for this I believe, are transparently simple.  The permanent political class is disliked and distrusted because they are not honest... to the point of being corrupt...they don't represent the broad base of the body politic and are either impotent, inefficient, inadequate, incapable  or all four.
Of course there are individual exceptions in both parties...but they are exceptions whereas they used to be the rule. 
The fact is we are electing not the best of us, but the worst of us as politics  devolves into a family business...a get rich business...an ideology business and a "special interests and wealthy donors  may only  call me" business.
The great intellects and persons of character who once populated all three branches of government are absent from the current scene.  The mediocre  have replaced them.  Worse the venal and the stupid are now closing in on the mediocre.
Ideology is turning people off.  "Progressive" for example has become the new buzz word for the "Occupy" crowd.  While not defecating on Police cars to make a political statement, they are dedicating their energies to make every aspect of life fair for all.  They won't or can't say how this will be done because they have no clue but then again neither did the Bolsheviks in 1917.  If the rational core of the citizenry doesn't challenged these proto- toltalitarians early then the route they will take to make social equality happen will as a matter of course include, the use of big government, force and coercion to get their way.  That's how the quest for "Utopia" has always ended before.

WAR AND PEACE IN THE AGE OF LIES!

“You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”
Winston Churchill
Americans are sick of war.  All the polls say so.  All the pundits say so.
As we enter the 13th year of our longest war in Afghanistan we seem to be going nowhere.  Our political leaders led by a President who is invested in failure, wants to disengage from battle by engaging the savages who are the Taliban in dialogue.  This is the face of a politically correct war ...fought not to win but for reasons undisclosed to the American people and in truth, for reasons not understood  by those with the responsibility of  now prosecuting this war.
The leitmotif of this conflict is now taken from the crucible of Iraq where Obama snatched defeat from the jaws of victory after the surge of General Petraeus and the Awakening of the Sunni tribes turned the insurgency in the Sunni Triangle from defeat and horror to a chance for a peaceful, democratic and pluralistic Arab nation in the middle of the worlds most violent and chaotic region.
 We have been fighting  politically correct wars since the end of WW ll which many say was actually the first, since it gave away the democracies of Eastern Europe to a regime as murderous and barbaric as the Third Reich.  However at least it can be said that the countries we went to war against in 1941 were completely and totally defeated.  and that is the difference between then and now.

2014: THE WARS OF THE PROGRESSIVE SUCCESSION

John PodestaJohn Podesta is back in the White House and Republicans and conservatives should arm themselves accordingly.  His job will be to marshal a 2014 Obama counter offensive that will be both  ferocious, relentless and disingenuous in order that Obama may save his wounded presidency from a Republican rout in 2014.
2013 was one of the worst years that any post war president save Richard Nixon, has had to endure.  Barack Obama lied to the American people about big and important things and the  American people caught him in his lies.  The saving grace for Obama of 2012's "Who cares about people like me?" has been replaced with "Who can believe anything this guy says to people like me?"  Once trust is gone with a President, only divine intervention or diabolical manipulation can hope to restore it.
"ObamaCare" is a suppurating wound because it's premise is both false and moronic.  It will continue to suck the marrow out of an already partially exsanguinated  presidency.  It directly threatens both the Obama agenda and the Obama presidency.
Thus the denizens of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are desperate and there upon enters Podesta, a former Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton and founder of the left wing, Soros financed, progressive think tank...the Center for American Progress, which already has played a significant policy role for this President particularly  with regard to "ObamaCare" and expanded Executive power.
His battle plan will be to attack on as many fronts as possible, either simultaneously or sequentially in order to keep the GOP constantly off balance and to give the President's allies in the media a chance to write and say something positive once again.  Podesta also has an unquenchable thirst for Presidential actions unencumbered by Constitutional niceties.
