Stick a Fork in Obama

We are only three and a quarter years away from transforming the United States of America.  We may never get back to where we once were, but we can sure roll back much of the mess Barack Obama has created through his misguided policies and serial incompetence. 

 

With ObamaCare's ascendancy and impending crash, America will be on the cusp of transformational action.  The misery the ACA will bring to almost every American cannot be overestimated in its ability to incite anger -- and, anger has consequences and repercussions.  The failure of the ACA has the potential to make 2014 a wave election for Republicans.  In 2016, we may see a true conservative as president.

 

America put men on the moon.  Now, with 3 ½ years and a half a billion dollars, we can't even build a website.  This is how much Barry and his ilk have degraded the brand.  We used to be the shining light on the hill.  Now, we are darkness at the end of the tunnel.  Barack Obama has been the worst thing that has ever happened to the Oval Office, and in the end, ObamaCare will seal his fate as a failed president.

The Hegelian Dialectic: the True Culprit

 

By Sam C. Holliday

Most people have never heard of the Hegelian Dialectic, the esoteric concept that currently shapes most policy decisions. Even those who closely follow the debates within the political elite have no idea that they are resolved according to the Hegelian Dialectic. Nor do they know that their own expectations about compromise is rooted in the Hegelian Dialectic, or that it also explains why those who stand firmly on principle are rejected as "extremists." All of these attitudes are outcomes of the Hegelian Dialectic; it also explains the ever-increasing centralization of political power, large government bureaucracies, excessive taxation, and dissatisfaction with government.

 

For at least 5,000 years there has been no agreement on how best to resolve disputes over who should get what, when, and how. Some favor the adversarial approach that ends in a definitive outcome, but others are willing to agree to disagree while living with diverse opinions. The Hegelian Dialectic is a method of resolving disagreement in which some proposition (thesis) is opposed by another proposition (antithesis) with a resolution by a higher-level proposition (synthesis). This is how most lawyers, politicians, and academics think disagreements should be resolved. It is how those who favor authoritarian regimes think policy should be determined.

Judge threatens homeschooling parents

The parents of four homeschooled children forcibly removed from their home by police armed with a battering ram have now been threatened by a judge with criminal sanctions if they move forward on a plan to move out of Germany.

 

As WND reported at the end of August the children, ages 7 to 14, were forcibly taken from their Darmstadt, Germany, home by law-enforcement authorities who told parents Dirk and Petra Wunderlich they wouldn’t see the children again soon.

 

The children were returned to their home three weeks later after the parents, given no choice by the federal bureaucracy in Germany, agreed to allow their kids into public schools despite their objection to the decadent social and religious instructions present there.

 

Since then the family has considered its alternatives, including emigrating from Germany where authorities stand today on a Nazi-era law banning homeschooling to a friendlier nation.

 

However, according to a report from the Home School Legal Defense Association, which has been working on behalf of the Wunderlich family, a judge slammed that door.

 

The organization reported a judge who has a hearing scheduled in December for the family “said he won’t let the family emigrate to other European countries where homeschooling is legal.”

Why the Limbaugh/Krauthammer/Will Tiff is Healthy

 

By C. Edmund Wright

Rush Limbaugh won't say it in so many words, but he (very correctly) called into question the discernment capabilities of Charles Krauthammer and George Will this week on his show. Rush insists he was "merely flabbergasted" at their slow to evolve perception of Barack Obama -- and was only using them as examples to make a bigger point. That notion doesn't really line up with his very words however.

 

Very clearly, Rush is somewhat irked that Dr. K and George Will were so badly bamboozled by Obama -- while so many of us racist 'rubes' never were. To be fair, the word "dupe" was not spoken, but I think a case can be made that it was indeed implied. Somewhere, I suspect Sarah Palin -- who was never confounded by Obama and yet was widely insulted by both of these luminaries - must be having a well-deserved laugh, too. 

 

 

In case you missed it, this kerfuffle started Monday on Rush's show when he responded with incredulity to some quotes from Krauthammer on a Fox News Special prompted by his just released book, admitting he did not peg Obama until weeks after he took office. Dr. K said, "...you know, I haven't been able to figure this guy out.  Is he a centrist who will occasionally throw a bone to the left or is he a lefty who will occasionally throw a bone to the right?"  Nobody had any idea."

 

Well, yes, Dr. Krauthammer, some of us did have an idea of who he was. For example, Sarah Palin had an idea. The conservative base had an idea. That's why the Tea Party exploded onto the scene so quickly -- because millions of us had the idea down pat many months before Rick Santelli -- who also had an idea -- named the movement. And yes, Rush and Mark Levin and Sean Hannity all had him figured out too.

Analysis: 'Obamacare' Website Problems Could Bring Down All of 'Obamacare'

 

By Napp Nazworth

The Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare," is "not just a website," President Barack Obama recently said. True. The law is expansive, with lots of different parts. If the problems with Healthcare.gov are not fixed soon, though, the rest of the law is threatened.

 

To understand why, it is first necessary to understand what the ACA is mainly trying to accomplish.

 

While the full title of the law is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the primary purpose of the law is not to protect patients or make health care more affordable (though some parts of the law attempt to do that.) At its core, the ACA is mainly about providing more Americans with health insurance coverage.

How to Open the Windows of Heaven

By Pat Francis

The church of Jesus Christ has far more might than it realizes. We can penetrate heaven with our prayers and see the power of God released. 

 

Our access to God grants us enormous privileges. The church literally can tear the heavens open and summon the power of God. We can petition Him and cause heaven to react to what we pray.

 

God's Word says that supernatural acts are available from a supernatural God to a certain kind of people. To people who will love Him, God is willing to give unlimited favor and miracles.

3 Ways to Unlock the Supernatural in Your Life

By Larry Sparks

Charisma Magazine

 

Recently, while watching an old video clip of Kathryn Kuhlman addressing an audience of students at ORU, I was awestruck by how she opened the service. It was her prayer that really stirred my spirit. This general of the faith who is renown for her powerful, miraculous healing ministry let me in on the secret of her supernatural success.

 

She introduced the service with prayer, and cried out—"No one in the whole world is as hungry for more than the one who is speaking this morning…every atom of my being is crying out for more. There is so much more." This woman who had seen God do so much right before her very eyes was actually discontent coasting at her present level of revelation and experience. Though she unceasingly celebrated what God did and was doing, she also lived with a very healthy degree of tension that caused her to contend for every bit of "more" that God had made available through the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit.

 

Right there in Kuhlman's voice, I heard two characteristics that will surely propel us into experiencing the supernatural in increasing measure in both our lives and ministries: Humility and hunger. When given a moment to reflect upon the leaders and spiritual pioneers who have most radically impacted my life, these two categories come up time and time again as common denominators. 

 

Let me give you three examples of contemporary spiritual leaders who exemplify these essential traits, along with three characteristics we can learn from their approach to God, ministry and revival.

Magnificent Imbeciles: The Enemy Within

 By Jen Kuznicki

Karl Rove

Peter Wehner

 

 









Michael Gerson

 

Jennifer Ruben

 

 



Grover Norquist

 

 

Excerpt:

 

All of the aforementioned Imbeciles represent a faction at the DC level, who are trying to destroy the coalitions and definitions within the GOP.  The State GOPs in turn have their own representation of these malefactors, and are engaged in the same tactics as the Imbeciles, to the detriment of their own party unity.  They refuse to as much as listen to the constitutional arguments and pocketbook reality of tea party members and constitutional conservatives, but they will tout an idea from a Democrat, from a philosophy diametrically opposed to their own party’s.

 

These Imbeciles are the enemy within the GOP.  They came to us, year after year, living off the fat of the Reagan Presidency, swearing they were what he was.  But not only are they attacking private citizens in little towns across America, they are attacking the talk radio conservatives who come into millions of people’s homes every day, educating and providing, like Reagan did, the articulation of conservatism the nation so desperately needs.

 

Those who are paying attention to politics are unhappy.  They are upset at Obama for being the Marxist-In-Chief, and are upset at the GOP for not doing a damn thing about it, for failing to acknowledge and diagnose the problem, and for spending billions to remain a minority party.
 

The direction of the GOP with the Imbeciles in power will continue to lose at the federal level, and can only further tear apart the GOP, disuniting and agitating rather than building coalitions and embracing the common sense of the common man.

 

They are fakes, phonies, frauds and Magnificent Imbeciles, and they need to be picked apart and dispatched from politics if America is to survive.

The Latest in Islamic Revisionism

By Joe Herring and Dr. Mark Christian

October 13, 2013

American Thinker

 

Many are familiar with the concept of revisionist history -- the rewriting of past events to reflect a particular bias -- but there is a contemporary example that receives far too little attention in our American media, that being the history of Jews in the Middle East.

Palestinian apologists have made a major industry out of creating a past for themselves by distorting the archeological record.  What cannot be distorted is ignored, and what cannot be ignored has, in some cases, been destroyed.  Not surprisingly, this particular form of historical reconstruction invariably finds the lowly Jew to be an interloper in the Middle East -- not only now, but throughout all of discernable history.

One such apologist, Mr. Maen Rashid Areikat, "honored" our fair city of Omaha, Nebraska recently when he spoke at the invitation of the Global Studies Conference at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.  Mr. Areikat is the director-general at the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Negotiations Affairs Department and a close advisor of Mahmoud Abbas.  He is presently the chief representative of the PLO delegation to the United States.

Liberal Child Abuse [Or How I Learned to Love Grand Theft Liberal]

By Tom Trinko

October 11, 2013

American Thinker

 

A key moment so far in the shutdown drama was when Harry Reid, the liberal Democrat head of the Senate, stated that he didn't care if children with cancer missed out on medical care.

 

While this shocked many, the simple fact is that liberals tend to be very much unconcerned about children.  After all, liberals are keen supporters of killing children before they're born, and sometimes even after, so the thought that liberals are more concerned with their own political power than with children shouldn't be surprising.

 

 

Historically, liberals talk a good game about children -- using them to justify bigger government and more power for liberals over our lives -- but they don't ever walk the walk.  Aside from having far fewer children than conservatives -- witness the concern about the "birth gap" -- liberals are also very big fans of abortion, which always kills a child, and they tend to lean towards prioritizing career over parenting.

During the 1970s, it became obvious that the massive welfare state the liberals loved was destroying the black family by incentivizing single parenthood, yet liberals fought tooth and nail to continue the system, even though it was obviously hurting black children.  Really caring about children means working to ensure that they can grow up in an intact family or at the very least not encouraging the breakup of families.
