Wake up in your Right Mind
USDOJ: National Drug Intelligence Center closed for lack of intelligence.
But the real lack of intelligence is displayed by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, which announced in September of 2012 that the National Drug Intelligence Center would suffer budgetary cuts from Sequestration. DUH! Is the government still funding an agency in 2013 which CLOSED in June of 2012???
Obama’s death panel has relegated the Republican party to palliative care, and here’s one more reason why we should not attempt to intervene in the decision.
Eighty, so-called prominent republicans have signed an opinion that there is a constitutional right to gay marriage. They have OUTED their complete ignorance of the Constitution. Going over the names, few should be seen as a surprise. If you care to check the list, click HERE.
People need to get over the idea that any marriage at all is a constitutional right. The U.S. constitution is silent on the issue of marriage and leaves it up to the people to decide how it is to be recognized socially.
Human rights are possessed by an individual, and they end where another begins. All marriages are done with permission, coming from each partner.
There is also no human right to sex, for the same reason, as it impinges upon another person, and therefore requires permission.
Marriage ought to be handled by the religious organizations. It originated with these groups as protection for the rearing of progeny. The social recognition of marriage has served the purpose of stabilizing the environment for children to reach adulthood safely.
So many people have lost sight of the original reasons for local government impingement upon marriage, and are now using it as the vehicle for granting government mandated benefits. Initially this applied to couples with children, but it has vastly expanded with the bloating of government. In the military it has recently been decreed that unmarried same sex partners of military personnel are eligible for certain benefits, but opposite sex partners are not, (even though the military chaplains may officiate same sex marriages).
Pharmer proposes that the government remove itself from the marriage business entirely. Its various and self contradictory interventions have left a complete mess, which has nothing to do with the protection of children, or with committed relationships between people.
Let the churches handle marriage for those who respect it as a sacrament before God, and a commitment between each other, and to protect resultant children. Let the rest of the people who want to play house, draw up their own legal contracts and sign them with their lawyers present.
Obama and cronies invented this sequester, and he threatened to veto any bill which interrupted the automatic reductions in planned spending.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: “Already, some in Congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts. My message to them is simple: No. I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off ramps on this one. We need to keep the pressure up to compromise – not turn off the pressure”
Obama signed the Sequester bill on August 2, 2011, and this LAW started cutting in 2012. It scheduled additional reductions (totalling 1.2 trillion) yearly over 10 years, with $85 billion in reduction planned for 2013. The president has a great deal of discretion in determining where the cuts will be.
Now Obama has turned against this plan that he originated way back in 2011, and is blaming it on the Republicans.
Sequestration amounts to about $85 billion reduction in the spending increase slated for this year. One half of that is for the defense dept. It means that spending for the affected areas will only go up about 6-8 percent instead of going up 8-10 percent as baseline budgeting dictates.
To put this 85 billion sequestration for 2013 in perspective:
The government spends $3.5 trillion per year.
The government spent $50 billion on Tropical Storm Sandy relief.
The government spent $30 billion on extension of unemployment.
There is an estimated 44 billion in improper medicare payments yearly.
The federal reserve prints $85 billion per MONTH and props up Wall Street with it.
The Police Loophole. <—CLICK IT!!!
Certain firearms companies have publicly announced that they will not sell their products to government entities which would restrict ordinary citizens from owning them. The Police Loophole is aggregating a list of the participating businesses.For example, if the police of a given state or municipality want to purchase a particular firearm, but the citizenry is prohibited from owning it —– NO SALE.
This is a nice gesture from these gun companies, who will risk a some of their profits to defend their own long term future and that of their customers.
This list is growing, and perhaps some of the largest companies can be encouraged by their clientele to join the effort.
There’s a new regulation issued by the Librarian of Congress which makes it illegal to unlock your cellphone.
As of January 26, if you unlock a new cell phone in order to use it with a different carrier, it could land you in jail for 5 years and cost you a half million dollars.
The big phone companies interests are protected by preventing you from changing the settings of your phone.
Who is harmed by this? Everyone who wants to use a different carrier. This would include military personnel who unlock their phones to use them wherever in the world they might be serving.
The article linked at the top contains some good language for a short letter to your congressman, if you’re a techie and like to jailbreak and unlock your gadgets. Check it out!
The majority of people have envy of those who succeed in the financial world, to the extent that they would harm themselves in order to bring the “rich” people down a notch or ten.
This envy is utilized by the leftists in government to divide and conquer the people, and gather more power and influence for themselves.
Some people don’t realize that whenever taxes are raised on the “rich”, people in the middle and lower financial strata wind up paying the cost.
The truly rich people have the means to almost completely avoid the burden of taxes. They will pass the cost to the consumers of their products and services, streamline employment, and try to pay politicians to grant them exceptions. If these steps are insufficient, they simply move their money, their businesses, and themselves out of the country as the need arises.
Those who are not extremely rich, are more likely to suffer some harm from the tax burden, but they will shield themselves as long as they can. They will cut employment, cut costs, raise prices, perhaps move to another state, or close their business in an effort to preserve capital.
The smallest businesses will do the same, raise prices, and cut employment, and if the taxation becomes too burdensome, they will close down.
Note that in all cases, the business owners will pass the cost of taxation on to the consumers of their products. (If you are a leftist, read it again: the “RICH” business owners will pass the cost of taxation on to the consumers of their products. THAT IS YOU.)
Wanting the government to tax the rich is like peeing into a fan that is pointing back at YOU. It has increased the price on almost all of your necessities, and it has cut jobs!
If you dislike a particular business or rich person, you can boycott. That will not affect your finances to the extent that telling the government to tax the rich does.
Yes boycotts work. Pharmer has joined boycotts of businesses and charities which are known for supporting abortion, and many of these boycotts have been effective in stopping the funding. Unfortunately Obama and the federal government have made up the shortfall. It also appears that Obama has made up the shortfall to Wall Street by printing money and propping up the corporations which lefties purport to hate.
Perhaps Obama should be boycotted!
Bob Woodward, leftie journalist of the Washington Post, in a “random act of Journalism”, has revealed the detailsabout the origin of the ‘sequester‘, which Obama is currently blaming on the Republicans.
Jack Lew and Obama cooked up the ‘sequester‘. It’s automatically triggered reduction in projected spending, which was to prevent Obama from having to negotiate the issue during the campaign.
Do click on the paragraph above. You will find out that Bob Woodward is still a good leftie reporter, working for the Washington Post. Hecouldn’t dance to the media tune, because Obama’s lie contradicted what he had already written in his own book.
Woodward still thinks that Obama is right to insist on more taxes and, most particularly taxing the rich, but he’s not going along with the lie that the Republicans invented the ‘sequester’.
By the way, the sequester is puny, not enough reduction in spending, and will not cause the projected disasters because very little money is involved, as a percentage of total spending. Since the sequester is Obama’s idea, it does contain disproportionate reductions in projected military expenditures, when compared to government dependency programs.

Washington Post is planning to lay off 54 employees, after losing 45.4 million in value, with shares dropping by $6.57 in the 4th quarter of 2012. That’s for the company as a whole. The print version of the newspaper is doing worse, losing 12 percent of advertising dollars. This loss was partly made up by the online paper, and Slate.
Keep up the good work, boycotters. The lamestream media needs to pay for abdicating its role of policing the activities of government.
Apparently the AP obtained documents which were found in an abandoned Al Qaida building in Timbuktu, Mali, which contained a collection of tips on how to avoid drone attacks. Learn how the Islamists dodge Obama’s drones here, at the Associated Press Treasure Trove.
