Obama Wins Because America Is Dumb As A Post!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*******************
I am sick and tired of the lie that the GOP shutdown the US government. That's what it is -- plan and simple -- a bald-faced lie. Anyone repeating it is a lier. God hates liers -- as do I. If a man will lie, he will do anything -- especially if it is deceitful.
Obama could not get away with his avalanche of lies if the American people had the least acquaintance with their constitution.
Let's clear some of the BS away.
Consider something Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, wrote recently: "There is really nothing complicated about the facts. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted all the money required to keep all government activities going — except for ObamaCare."
Mr. Sowell continues: "The hundreds of thousands of government workers who have been laid off are not idle because the House of Representatives did not vote enough money to pay their salaries or the other expenses of their agencies — unless they are in an agency that would administer ObamaCare."
Mr. Sowell points out: "The money voted by the House of Representatives covered everything that the government does, except for ObamaCare." Mr. Sowell makes clear: "The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for ObamaCare."
Mr. Sowell puts the cork in the bottle with this: "If Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to accept the money required to run the government, because it leaves out the money they want to run ObamaCare, that is their right. But that is also their responsibility." (Emphasis by underlining --mine.) Please read the source of these quotes at: http://rare.us/story/sowell-who-shut-down-the-government/
I mentioned the constitution at the beginning of this rant. See, the constitution states that all spending bills must originate in the US House of Representatives. It is they, the Representatives, who decide what will be paid for -- and -- what will not be paid for. It is their constitutional right -- and duty -- to do that.
"But Obamacare is the law of the land," you insist.
m sick and tired of the lie that the GOP shutdown the US government. That's what it is -- plan and simple --
It makes no difference.
Look. If the House decided not to put up,the money for the EPA, it would be within its rights to do so. Not to mention -- I'd stand and applaud!
All of this is laid out in the constitution. It's there for all to read in Article 1, Section 7. "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills." SOURCE: US Constitution http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec7.html
Have you even read the constitution? If not -- why not? It is easily accessible. Pull it up on your computer. It'll take a couple of seconds. (I keep a hard copy of the US Constitution in a loose leaf binder sitting at the left side of my computer monitor at all times, except when I am referencing it.)
Think of the constitution as the "Owner's Manual" for the US Government. When you want to know how that hunk of steel you drive back and forth to work every day works, you consult the car's owner's manual, Same thing applies to the US Government. Want to know how it is supposed to work? Consult the owner's manual.
When I was a lad in school, we actually read the constitution, we actually studied the constitution and even argued it back and forth in class. We had written tests on it. As a teenager I wrote, and delivered, several speeches on the constitution. I became fairly well acquainted with it. But, these days, as decade after decade has expired, I find that I have to brush up on it every now and again ... and I do. Why? Because this is MY COUNTRY, and I want it run correctly ... by the instructions laid out by the men who founded this nation.
America is in deep trouble today because "we the people," not the politicians, WE-- you and I -- have allowed it to degenerate into some kind of "socialist-lite" society/government that is recklessly determined, I mean -- hell bent -- on failure. I contend that the primary reason for this condition, in which we find ourselves, today is IGNORANCE, plain and simple.
Example: Leftists are insisting today that there is a "right" to healthcare in America. They claim it is a "constitutional right." They are absolutely WRONG! There is no right to healthcare for Americans. None! If you claim there is -- then show that to me -- in the constitution -- and I will admit my error. You can't -- because it simply isn't there. And yet we allow their BS to go unchallenged.
Consider this from at article by Bob Meyer at www.capitolhilloutsider.com: "In Christ‘s message, we see help for the needy is accomplished directly through personal charity. Nowhere are we told to accomplish this indirectly through governmental wealth redistribution by proxy. The Good Samaritan helped a wounded man with his own resources. He did not petition the Roman government to create a healthcare program."
Mr Meyer goes on "... societies trending toward socialism and accomplishing that objective through forcible egalitarianism via governmental mandate, wind up becoming functionally godless. In addition, placing all distribution of wealth under the thumb of the government replaces an attitude of gratitude with a posture of entitlement, and diminishes concentration on personal responsibility." SOURCE: http://capitolhilloutsider.com/red-letter-christianity-or-red-flag-socialism/
If you are REALLY concerned and want to REALLY know how your country, America, is SUPPOSED to work, then read two owner's manuals: The Bible -- and -- the US Constitution. Once you have done so you will agree that "malfeasance" doesn't begin to cover the horrible manner in which our current government has exercised its stewardship toward this once great nation.
Ignorance is an excuse only once, if at all. Once you have been made aware of your lack of knowledge, then there is no excuse.

Debt vs. Wages
Click to enlarge.
If the prosperity of the 1980s and 1990s taught us one thing, it is that the key to long-term prosperity is simple. We need to increase total debt relative to wages at a rate not less than 2.7% per year but not more than 2.9% per year. Sustainability above all else!
So let's put our thinking caps on and decide how we're going to keep the prosperity trend alive. Will it be more debt, less wages, or both?

Burke To Challenge Republican Governor Walker In Wisconsin
Mary Burke
Former Trek executive and Dane School Board member to challenge Walker.
By H. Nelson Goodson
October 7, 2013
Madison, WI - On Sunday, a YouTube video was posted announcing that Mary Burke, the former Trek Bicycle Company executive and Commerce Secretary, including a first term Madison School Board member is seeking the Democratic nomination for Wisconsin Governor. If successful, Burke as a Democrat will challenge Republican Governor Scott Walker.
The YouTube video is aimed at explaining why she is running for governor.
Democrats believe she is a front runner for the Democratic bid for governor. But, Republicans are criticizing Burke for being part of a team that created a $3.6 billion deficit that Governor Walker fixed, according to Joe Fadness, executive director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
"Wisconsin needs a governor who will work every day to make sure our state is a place of opportunity for everyone, not a stepping stone to higher office or a haven for special interest giveaways," according to Michael J. Tate, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Tate has yet to endorse a Democratic candidate.

Giguere Abruptly Resigns From Historic Mitchell Street BID Board 4
Ron Giguere
The Historic Mitchell Street BID Board 4 will meet Tuesday to discuss Giguere's resignation.
By H. Nelson Goodson
October 7, 2013
Milwaukee, WI - On Monday, Nancy J. Bush, the executive director of the Historic Mitchell Street BID Board 4 confirmed that the BID president Ron Giguere had resigned on October 2. Giguere who had been president of the BID abruptly resigned after allegations of questionable irregularities under his leadership as president surfaced, Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) has learned.
The irregularities has even drawn concern from members of the City Common Council including Alderman José Pérez who remains silent for the moment. The Historic Mitchell Street BID Board 4 has not issued a statement either about Giguere's departure from the BID attributing to a growing concern that has spread throughout the business section that the BID represents.
Multiple Historic Mitchell Street business owners are now asking why did Giguere resigned and why hasn't the BID notified the merchants along Mitchell Street of his resignation?
Bush told HNNUSA that she will be releasing more information concerning Giguere's resignation in an upcoming e-mail. She wouldn't go into details on Monday and most likely her information will be limited.
Some merchants on Mitchell had brought up questions about the vendors allowed to participate in last Summer's Sun Fair and the lack of Latino entertainment as previously presented in the last two years.
HNNUSA continues to review the issues being raised by some merchants under Giguere's presidency. On Monday, Giguere could not be reached for comment.

The Lake Mead Syndrome
The Obama shutdown has forced the people of Lake Mead to move off of their rented land, to come out of their little cabins, and to go quietly into the night.
These people own their own homes, and may have built their own homes on land rented from the federal government! So in effect, they have improved the land that they do not own. Nor do they have any control over their situation. That's not exactly the American dream.
A man featured in an article called,
"Shutdown forces owners to leave Lake Mead homes," is understandably upset, but he's decided against fighting it. He's also a lifelong Republican. See: http://m.reviewjournal.com/news/government/shutdown-forces-owners-leave-lake-mead-homes
We can forgive Mr. Hitchcock his inability to stand his ground, and to refuse to leave because he's an elderly man. But is this a sign of something more? If standing your ground means that you might have to face the citation, or Jail, or face anything uncomfortable, do you just turned tail and run?
There are at least 60 families who have been forced to leave their homes by the federal government Obama shutdown. Did any of these people stand their ground and just say "No?" I somehow doubt it.
We Americans may have become too softened to stand up for our own rights if it means pain or sacrifice.
This past week some of our well-known Republican congressional representatives showed up when the shutdown can't veterans from entering their Memorial. That was a very popular thing to do. But where are those representatives today when people are being forced out of their homes?
So is this standing our ground and righteous civil disobedience, all for political show?
Where on a few takeaways from the lake need syndrome. 1. Buy and own your own land. If you lease you don't control anything. 2. You can't trust any government. 3. Try to recapture the American Dream. 4. Be willing to fight for what is rightfully yours or lose everything.
Final thought: if you leased land there's usually a contract and a landlord can't just "throw you off your land." Oh but were talking about the federal government where nothing is sacred!

Chemtrail Conspiracy Theory, Hoax Or The Real Deal?
Note several of the following images are copyright, and are used here under "fair use", as non-profit, educational, and critical usage.
http://www.metabunk.org/threads/debunked-chemtrail-plane-interior-ballast-barrels.661/
"Chemtrails" redirects here. For the Beck song, see Chemtrails (song).
The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits that some trails left by aircraft are chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for purposes undisclosed to the general public and directed by various government officials.[1] This theory is not accepted by the scientific community, which states that they are just normal contrails, as there is no scientific evidence supporting the chemtrail theory.
Because of the popularity of the conspiracy theory, official agencies have received thousands of complaints from people who have demanded an explanation.[1][2] The existence of chemtrails has been repeatedly denied by scientists and government officials around the world, who say the trails are normal contrails.[3]
The term chemtrail is a combination of the words "chemical" and "trail," just as contrail is a contraction of "condensation trail." The term does not refer to other forms of aerial spraying such as agricultural spraying ('crop dusting'), cloud seeding, skywriting, or aerial firefighting.[4] The term specifically refers to aerial trails allegedly caused by the systematic high-altitude release of chemical substances not found in ordinary contrails, resulting in the appearance of characteristic sky tracks. Supporters of this conspiracy theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be for solar radiation management, psychological manipulation, human population control,[1] weather modification,[2] or biological or chemical warfare, and that these trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems.[5][6]

kitchen updates thanks to lamps.com
It is only Monday morning and I already feel behind. How is that for the start of the week? Aces. I hope your weekends were delightful though. And thanks so much for all of your comments on Fess Up Friday. I now have quite a shopping list started for myself.
Today I wanted to share a recent experience I had with the good folks at Lamps.com. As I've eluded to in crazy code like ways (I promise I'll divulge more soon) I've been working feverishly to get a laundry list of items done to our little cottage and addressing the light over our kitchen window has been on that list for a while.
Our old light was a bit large for that small window and those that are blessed with long, tall legs (I don't have this problem) would often knock their heads on it. Not the best memory for guests to leave with. So when the team at Lamps.com offered to have me try something out I screamed "sign me up!" Actually, I think I typed it, but you get the point.
The decision was not an easy one and I even started plotting all of the other places I could add pendants just so that I wouldn't have to choose just one. But after a lot of back and forth, I landed on this hot little number - the Feiss Brushed Steel Urban Renewal Mini Pendant.
As soon as it arrived I ripped open the box to find it looked even better in person (wahoo) and I cleared the hubs schedule so he could put it up for me right away. He's such a good sport.
Everything was laid out and easy to follow and as someone who has ordered a lot of lights in her day, I was thrilled that we didn't have to make a trip to Home Depot for any parts. Everything was included - hallelujah!
And in no time flat, I had a new light. She is so light and pretty. I just love her.
Her shape is so sculptural and I think adds just the right amount of fun to my kitchen window. Now if only my view was of the ocean rather than my neighbors. One thing at a time I guess.
Sometimes the little details make the biggest difference.
Have you made any little changes around the house lately? Do you have a pretty view out of your kitchen window? Have any wish list lighting items?

Van Hollen Won't Seek Third Term As WI State Attorney General
J.B. Van Hollen
Van Hollen wants someone else with fresh ideas to run for the position that he is vacating.
By H. Nelson Goodson
October 7, 2013
Madison, WI - On Monday, J.B. Van Hollen, the Wisconsin State Attorney General announced that he won't seek a third term. In his statement, Van Hollen a Republican wrote, "Today I wish to share with you my decision not to seek a third term as Attorney General and to thank you for the confidence you have placed in me."
Van Hollen cited his accomplishments for the last eight years, but said, he doesn't believe someone should be Attorney General for too long or for life and Wisconsin voters need new choices with fresh ideas.
Van Hollen will remain in office until his term expires in 15 months.
Van Hollen, became Wisconsin's 43rd Attorney General, when he was elected on November 7, 2006, and took office on January 1, 2007. After winning re-election by an overwhelming majority, he began his second, four-year term on January 1, 2011.
Since taking office, Attorney General Van Hollen has prioritized forensic DNA analysis at the State Crime Lab, cutting the average turnaround time for sexual assault cases in half. Overall, the average DNA case turnaround time is a third of what it was, according to the Wisconsin Department of Justice website.

The PA Protects Animals Who Shoot Children.
Yesterday little Noam Glick, age 9, was shot by a cowardly Muslim terrorist in the neck. It has come to light that the would-be murderer was going to enter the home and destroy the whole family living there. But instead he shot a child and ran.
Please keep Noam Glick and the Glick family in your prayers.
The perpetrator of a suspected terror attack Saturday on a 9-year-old Israeli girl in the West Bank settlement of Psagot has likely escaped the area, the IDF said early Sunday. The search continued throughout the day, and Psagot residents were told they could return to their normal routine, after overnight fears that the attacker was still hiding out in the settlement.Shoot a child and you are a hero to the Fakistinians. To the rest of the world it is not a crime, not a sin to kill a Jewish child. Only Fakistinians are victims. All Jews, even a 9-year old child, is the aggressor. Just because they are Jews.
The girl, Noam Glick, was injured Saturday night while playing in the yard outside her home. She said she was shot by a Palestinian gunman at very close range.
“I went outside, and Noam told us there was an Arab there,” the victim’s father, Yisrael Glick, told Army Radio on Sunday morning. “I understood this was a security situation, dangerous to our lives, the most frightening thing that can happen to a family — that a terrorist came into the house.”
He said that he heard gunshots and was able to pull his daughter into the house. The assailant fired “three shots” at her from point-blank range, he said. By the time he emerged from the house again with his weapon, he said, the attacker had fled.
Glick said that the attacker was “startled” by the girl playing in the yard, “so instead of entering the house he shot her.”
Doctors at Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek medical center said the girl, who did not lose consciousness during the incident, had sustained light injuries and was in good condition. It was “not clear” whether she had been shot or stabbed, according to hospital physician Dr. Danny Fink.
“The girl’s survival is a miracle,” Fink told Maariv Sunday. The victim, who underwent surgery overnight, had a deep gash along the base of her neck and her upper chest area and was wounded in one ear, he said. She was slated for release Sunday afternoon.
According to Noam Glick’s account, the distance between her and the attacker was basically “zero,” Fink said. “The wound does not look like a gunshot,” he added, “but there were testimonies that said there were gunshots.”
Defense officials said they believed the incident was a terror attack, but were not ruling out other unspecified possibilities.
Authorities said a breach in the Psagot fence was discovered overnight, with signs of forced entry and footprints nearby.
Shortly after the incident, Israeli forces numbering in the hundreds entered the neighboring Palestinian town of al-Bireh, where the shooter was thought to have come from. Security forces, said to include troops from elite IDF units, began the search on the outskirts of the town, near a soccer stadium, and Palestinian security forces had been called in to clear the area.
The Palestinian Ma’an news agency reported two Palestinians were lightly injured by rubber bullets in an altercation with troops that erupted during the incursion.
Shortly after the Psagot attack, shots were reportedly fired at a motorcyclist on the road between Psagot and the nearby settlement of Kochav Ya’akov. No injuries were reported. A police official also said rocks were thrown at vehicles on the road leading into Psagot after the child was shot.
Psagot residents were told to stay in their homes past midnight Saturday; those with firearms were instructed to keep them by their side. Soldiers conducted a house-to-house search of the settlement. Residents were informed via text message to anticipate a knock on the door, to answer in Hebrew, and to await identification.
Early Sunday morning, after an overnight search, the authorities gave residents permission to resume their normal routine.
Saturday night’s incident came two weeks after an IDF soldier was killed while on duty in the West Bank city of Hebron by an unidentified shooter. The culprit remains at large despite investigations by Israeli authorities. Another soldier, off duty, was killed near the West Bank town of Qalqilya that same weekend.

National Lampoon's Federal Vacation (Musical Tribute)

House passes retroactive pay as shutdown enters first weekend
We've gone from unpaid government shutdown to fully paid government vacation! Genius!
This is what I love most about Congress. They tackle the really tough problems and always come out on top.
House passes retroactive pay as shutdown enters first weekend
WASHINGTON— The fifth day of the partial shutdown of the U.S. government brought no signs of a breakthrough as House lawmakers passed a bill that would eventually reimburse furloughed federal workers for lost pay.
The measure, which passed 407-0 Saturday, was part of an effort to "ease the pain" of the first shutdown since 1996, said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. He and fellow Republican leaders called on President Barack Obama and Democrats in the Senate to negotiate on a spending deal.

Only An Animal Can Do This!
By Findalis of Monkey in the Middle
What kind of an animal is capable of aligning his gun sight with the face of a friggin 9 year old girl and pulling the trigger? Asks a reader of the Jerusalem Post. I have no answer for this man. Not when one realizes that the shooter was an Muslim.
My prayers go out to this precious child (name is being withheld) and her family. May she recover fully!
What kind of an animal is capable of aligning his gun sight with the face of a friggin 9 year old girl and pulling the trigger? Asks a reader of the Jerusalem Post. I have no answer for this man. Not when one realizes that the shooter was an Muslim.
A 9-year-old Israeli girl has been shot and seriously injured in Psagot, near Ramallah on Saturday night.Only an animal shoots at children. The reason the Arabs don't shoot at soldiers is that the soldiers shoot back, but children don't.
The IDF's Binyamin Division has entered the area with large forces to search for the gunman.
"We're attempting to establish whether this was a sniper or a terrorist who entered Psagot," a senior army source said.
The girl was evacuated from the scene in serious condition but conscious, to Shaare Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem.
West Bank police said the girl had been playing in the yard of her house when she was hit by a shot to the upper body.
The spokesman for Psagot, David Tzviel, said that they know for a fact that the shooter infiltrated the settlement, and that the girl was not shot by a sniper. He said he based this on the testimony of the girl, who told rescue personnel that she saw the man who shot her enter her yard, come up onto the balcony and shoot her.
He added that the settlement is still on lock-down, and that residents have not been told they can leave their houses yet.
Tzviel said that an emergency siren was sounded in the settlement to alert residents of the danger, and that at the moment IDF troops and the settlement emergency response team are still searching for the shooter.
