The Democrat Slaughter

Not all the results are in from the 2014 mid-term elections, but the GOP has regained controlled of the Senate, increased their seats in the House, and won a majority of the governorships across the country.  All I can say is, "Thank you Obama".

Its Election Stealing Season

Every other year when elections role around we here story after story about election fraud.  And yet somehow liberals continually trot out in front of cameras and tell us there is no problem.  It never ceases to amaze me how facts are irrelevant to these people.  On a side note, when is the last time an electronic voting machine changed a vote from Democrat to Republican?  Go ahead, Google it and see what comes up.

Ebola Debacle

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/14/us/pentagon-says-global-warming-presents-immediate-security-threat.html?_r=0How many more times do we have to watch our President and his administration bungle a crisis?  In all honesty, can anyone name the last major crisis that was handled correctly?  The ebola outbreak is yet another example of just how incompetent our leadership is.  Take for one example the fact that Obama refuses to stop all flights to and from the ebola stricken countries in Africa.  CDC chief Thomas Frieden's logic is utter madness.  Peggy Noonan points out that even 11-year olds know how to handle this.  Even more maddening is the fact that Obama, on July 22 of this year, did order a travel ban.... to Israel.  Why?  Because he wanted to send a message that he didn't like the Israeli's going after the terrorists that were lobbing bombs at them from the Gaza Strip.  Here are some other articles on the matter at hand:

• Obama Already Has an Ebola Czar - Federalist Papers
• Press Ignores CDC and NIH Waste - News Busters

But the administrations incompetence does not end there.  Oh no, at a time when Moscow has already taken over a portion of Ukraine and is attempting to take over another, when ISIS militants are beheading journalists and non-Muslims in Iraq and Syria, when ebola is ravaging west Africa, we have far greater problems.  What could it be?  Why, climate change of course.  You know, that thing they used to call global warming until they realized that the earth has not warmed since at least 1999.

Lets Talk Climate Change

The evidence continues to mount that there has been no warming on the earth for the past 15 plus years.  And yet we continue to hear about this administration decrying the dangers of "climate change".  Yet another example how clueless these guys are.

When The IRS Attacks

The IRS scandal is absolutely blowing up.  With all of these emails magically disappearing, people have to be sent to prison.  This is beyond ridiculous.  But since its Washington DC, no one ever will.

I'm not even going to pontificate here.  The Obamacare excrement sandwich speaks for itself:

Have we finally jumped the shark with political correctness?  Seriously, is this not getting completely out of hand?

Imperial Obama

When it comes to incompetent leadership, this current administration is vying for first place.  Incompetence, however, is the least of our concerns.  The fact that Obama is now overstepping his Constitutional authority is the problem.  And most disturbing... the Republicans are doing nothing about it.

The Man Without a Clue

The mountain of evidence that one has to indict this administration as one of the most economically inept and unworthy to lead continues to pile up.  On the economic side of things, the federal government continues to pump out rules and regulations that are strangling businesses (more on that below).  After one of the worst recessions in our history we've had 5 straight years of sub-par GDP growth.  No post-recession growth rate has been as low as this one.  And when it comes to the ineptness of leadership, where do I begin?  The targeting of political enemies by the IRS?  Allowing Syria to burn?  And now not even lifting a finger as Putin swallows up an entire country.

Common Core

We will be homeschooling our kids.  When people find out they often ask us why.  There are lots of reason, the biggest being that our public education system is NOT educating our kids.  So here comes Common Core.  Yet another massive fail.
