3rd World Obama’s Drive to Corrupt America into a 3rd World Nation

No administration in American national history has been so  unAmerican, so  corrupt, devious, dishonest, racist, divisive, evil and third-world  than this Barack Obama’s  performance as president.   No leading political party in our history  has so purposefully,  willingly  shepherded its bleating sheep to  follow not only  the lead of  so foul, so corrupt,  so arrogant  a president  to advance him as the  leader   destined  to destroy  America’s traditions  cherishing and advancing  life,  liberty,  and the pursuit of happiness for its people  specifically and  human kind generally by becoming corrupt equally among the nations of  the Third World.

The American press discarded its once- revered  adjective ‘free’;  the American educational industry followed suit  by controlling   history and banning  God to create an  elixir of equality  rallying majority Jews, blacks, Latinos (legal and illegal)  gays, lesbians, unionists, crony capitalists,  food stamp recipients,  and  single women of all shapes and sizes,  and the nation’s entertainment industry to ‘harden’  America into third world living……poverty, ignorance, violence, isolation, secret police,   and the isolation,  exploitation,  and communal  hate of  those who don’t sufficiently  hate American white males.

Is Obama’s third world America  our American future?

Selling dishonest news is common in Obamaland.  Spying on and lying about  foes is cherished,  honored.    It is distributed  directly from its Washington headquarters via all possible venues.

The mouth of our president assures America , however, there isn’t a smidgen of corruption anywhere in his political and religious Marxified empire.

 

More Than a Smidgen

  by Stephen F. Hayes   at the Weekly Standard:

The facts are simple. The IRS systematically targeted conservative and Tea Party groups after their activism proved decisive in the 2010 midterm elections—Obama’s famous “shellacking.” The effects of this targeting were widespread. Some Tea Party groups were neutered in the months before the 2012 presidential election.

Few of the explanations or justifications of this targeting provided by IRS leaders and Obama administration officials have held up. IRS officials at first denied that any targeting had taken place. That was false. They later claimed that the targeting had involved only low-level employees in the Cincinnati office. That was false. They argued that conservative groups weren’t singled out, that progressive groups were subject to the same level of scrutiny. That was false. They argued that the IRS has complied with all requests for information from Congress. That was false.

Dennis Prager……America without God?

AMERICA WON’T BE GOOD WITHOUT GOD     by Dennis Prager at dennisprager.com:

 

On page 563 of his latest biography — John Quincy Adams: American Visionary — author Fred Kaplan (biographer of Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Gore Vidal among others) cites this insight of the sixth president:

Christianity had, all in all, he believed, been a civilizing force, “checking and controlling the anti-social passions of man.”

That insight is pretty much all an American needs to know in order to understand why the American Founders considered religion — specifically ethical monotheism rooted in the Hebrew Bible — indispensable to the American experiment; and why the America we have known since 1776 is in jeopardy.

It is easy to respect secular Americans who hold fast to the Constitution and to American values generally. And any one of us who believes in God can understand why some people, given all the unjust suffering in the world, just cannot believe that there is a Providential Being.

But one cannot respect the view that America can survive without the religious beliefs and values that shaped it. The argument that there are moral secularists and moral atheists is a non sequitur. Of course there are moral Americans devoid of religion. So what? There were moral people who believed in Jove. But an America governed by Roman religion would not be the America that has been the beacon of freedom and the greatest force for good in the world.

In order to understand why, one only need understand John Quincy Adams’s insight: How will we go about “checking and controlling the anti-social passions of man” without traditional American religious beliefs?

There are two possible responses:

One is that most Americans (or people generally, but we are talking about America here) do not have anti-social passions.

The other is that most Americans (again, like all other human beings) do have anti-social passions, but the vast majority of us can do a fine job checking and controlling them without religion as it has been practiced throughout American history.

These are views with which virtually every American who attends secular high school or university is explicitly and implicitly indoctrinated.

Both are wrong. And not just wrong, but foolish — and lethal to the American experiment.

To deny that human beings are filled with anti-social passions defies reality and betrays a lack of self-awareness. One has to be taught nonsense for a great many formative years to believe it.

If we weren’t born with anti-social passions — narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious — why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior?

The second objection is that, even if we do have anti-social passions, we don’t need a God or religion in order to control them. Only moral primitives, the argument goes, need either a judging God or a religious set of rules. The Enlightened can do fine without them and need only to consult their faculty of reason and conscience to know how to behave.

Our prisons are filled with people whose consciences are quite at peace with their criminal behavior. As for reason, they used it well — to figure out how to get away with everything from murder to white-collar crime.

But our prisons are not filled with religious Jewish and Christian murderers. On the contrary, if all Americans attended church weekly, we would need far fewer prisons; and the ones we needed would have very few murderers in them.

Meanwhile the record of the godless and non-Christianity crowd is awful. I am not simply referring to the godless and secular Communist regimes of the 20th century that committed virtually every genocide of those hundred years. I am referring to those Americans (and Europeans) who use reason to argue, among other foolish things: that good and evil are subjective societal or individual opinions; that gender is purely a social construct and therefore the male and female distinction is of no importance; that marriage isn’t important and is just a piece of paper invented by the religious to keep women down; that a human fetus, even when it has a beating heart, a formed human body, and a conscious brain, has less of a right to life than a cat; and that men, let alone fathers, aren’t necessary. (Think no one really believes the latter? See, for example, The Atlantic’s “Are Fathers Necessary?” and the New York Times’s “Men, Who Needs Them?”) And that is a short list.

For proof of the moral and intellectual consequences of the secularization of America, look at what has happened to the least religious institution in America, the university. Is that the future we want for the whole country?

Gas Prices Expected to Rise Due to Biofuel Mandate

Biofuel Mandate Will Raise Gas Prices

July 11, 2014  from the National Center for Policy Analyisis:

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that gasoline prices will increase by 13 cents to 26 cents per gallon by 2017 if the Renewable Fuels Standard remains unchanged, according to the Daily Signal.

The Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) encourages increased production of various forms of ethanol and biodiesel, and it mandates that fuel contain a certain amount of renewable fuel. But despite the fact that consumers do not want these fuels (and that advanced biofuels have failed to meet production and use targets), the oil industry is forced to produce them.

  • RFS advocates promised that production of cellulosic ethanol (made from non-edible plant material) would be able to match projected use, but they were radically wrong. Cellulosic ethanol has been largely unsuccessful.
  • While corn producers have been able to produce plenty of corn-ethanol, the low energy content in each gallon makes the fuel unattractive.
  • Refiners cannot legally add any more ethanol to E10 gasoline (10 percent ethanol, 90 percent gasoline), as it can only contain up to 10 percent ethanol.
  • Refiners are having a difficult time getting consumers to buy their 85 percent ethanol blend (E85 — 85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) without selling it below production costs.

In order to meet RFS consumption targets, the CBO estimates that refiners would have to lower the price of E85 by as much as $1.27 per gallon to encourage sales. To do this, they would have to raise the price of their lower-ethanol content gasoline.

Almost 40 percent of American corn goes towards ethanol, not food, production. Hence, the RFS drives up commodity prices, food prices and the cost of both gasoline — providing little environmental benefit along the way.

A Governor Battles the Politics of Foreigner President, Barack Hussein Obama

Prager fan, Mark Waldeland, sent the following copy of Governor Jan Brewer’ s letter to present president, objecting to the unpresidential politics of the foreigner Barack Obama aiding and abetting illegal immigration into America from the South.

“I write regarding media reports that the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
is transporting hundreds, and potentially thousands, of illegal aliens from the south Texas border
and releasing them at bus stations in Tucson and Phoenix.

As Governor of Arizona, I am deeply concerned about this troubling policy and the adverse
impact on the illegal aliens, as well as to Arizona. It is especially disconcerting that DHS
instituted this operation without any notification to my office, the Arizona Department of Public
Safety or the Arizona Department of Homeland Security. We instead learned of this action from
the news media…..”
