What Rotting On The Vine Looks Like

The cultural decay of America didn’t just happen in the last couple decades. This was proscribed in American culture three-quarters of a century ago.

A political party, running from decades of racial discrimination, and the pop culture of the 1960’s in the form of its music and entertainment, gave the process a booster shot.

The pilfering of Social Security’s so-called “lock-box” to fund welfare programs, and a youth anti-war movement that embraced the “Love the one you’re with” mindset,  magnified by a non-critical news media were the termites introduced to American society. Defeating liberalism is the treatment.

Walter E. Williams’ chronicles this in a way that no one else has, in this piece, Intellectual Dishonesty and Cultural and Social Pathology. Continue reading What Rotting On The Vine Looks Like →

Obama, No Strategy For Terrorists

OBAMA_CAPTAIN_OBVIOUSCaptain Obvious confessed that “We don’t yet have a complete strategy” for fighting the Islamic State in Iraq.

He could have added that we have no hint of one for combating the Islamic State in Syria. Months ago at a news conference Obama created a firestorm when he conceded we did not have strategy for defeating the Islamic State. One wonders what the administration been up to since then.

Pres. Obama Wins M.R.I.O.T.D. Award

Speaking with Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative Fellows at the White House, President Barack Obama said that under his leadership, the United States has become the most respected country in the world.

Of course, these weren’t real world leaders. The real leaders were at home ROTFL. These were students, who probably knew better.

This assertion is like his assertion that he has this economy in a recovery, while there is not a single economic measure that would support that claim. Beginning with, he economy is contracting, lowest worker participation rate since Jimmy Carter, real unemployment rate is north of 10%, more businesses are closing than are opening, and, a record number of people are on government assistance and food stamps.

On the world stage, every country he has had a hand in has been a disaster. Starting with the United States, the Arab Spring, Benghazi, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, China, and the rise and strengthening of terrorists around the world.

The winning statement . . .

and today once again, the United States is the most respected country on earth

For this, President Obama wins the award for the Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day award. For the third time.

Still The “United” States?

Remember how the country was wooed when Sen. Obama arrived to challenge Hillary Clinton for the 2008 presidential race? And Hillary was tossed aside like a dirty sock?

The thought of the first Black president who, just by his election, would heal the stigma of slavery from our country’s past. He would be the one to transform America into its new post-racial era. Or so we thought.

Get ready for another slam of the Obama Wrecking Ball if what seems to be brewing comes to fruition. And I’m not just talking economically.

Reparations isn’t something new to this administration. He’s already tested the waters. For someone who dislikes America as much as him, and as community organizers go, stirring up something like reparations, for people who had nothing to do with it, from people who had nothing to do with it, is right up his alley.

Is this a belated April Fools joke, or just the next step in erasing the “United” from the United States?
