America Turns To Welfare As Obamanomics Rots The Economy

WE have become a nation of moochers. Its really quite sad. A bunch of whiners that think that since they were born on this particular piece of property that everyone else there owes them a living or a life. But this massive transfer of wealth to aleviate poverty has been a dismal failure....

The U.S. has spent $3.7 trillion on welfare in the past five years, with virtually nothing to show for it...... cumulative spending on welfare during the Obama years has been five times greater than what's been spent on transportation, education and NASA — combined.

But I do not think that is the Obamessiah's fault. We have been heading that direction for decades. Its just that the Obamessiah and the Democrats pushed the nation over the cliff.

Sebelius: Obamacare website problems blindsided the President

This is just so silly. Arguing that the Obamessiah didn't know that his website was completely dysfunctional is ludicrous. Did he ask, ever, if the the technology was going to be ready, a few weeks ago, a few months ago, a year ago? The fact that it was a complete and total mess that Max Baucus, Democrat from Montana, called a 'train wreck' many months ago did not raise the curiosity of anyo0ne at the Whitehouse?

Really what the nation has is an intellectually incurious President that has no idea what he needs to do and how no idea how to do anything. The idea that the President did not know about the healthcare debacle, Benghazi, the IRS harassment, the NSA snooping, and host of other things defies common sense.

In reality, he is incompetent and since he is considered 'Black' we are not allowed to call him that.

Not only will the USA end up with death panels, they will be politicized. Like the IRS, certain groups will have trouble navigating whereas favored groups will be able to do what they want.

My comment on the Stenographers outbreak...

An Obama supporter since she is unhinged? Agreed. But I think differently on this specific incident. I too was thinking and saying to myself, as I watched the vote on Fox, we are allowing our government to be a Lord and savior and that Satan is in full control of Washington now. Interesting that someone else at the same exact time was experiencing the same thing.

Americans have made a pact with the Devil and we will pay big time. Promising something for nothing is a fools deal. IT will never never happen. Good luck USA. You will pay with your lives for Marxism.

What did the founding fathers mean by pursuit of happiness? | The Hot Word | Hot & Trending Words Daily Blog at Dictionary.com

I think that writer here is being disingenuous and folds in the concept of 'contributions to society' or a clear leaning towards some kind of social compact or social responsibility being imbedded in the rights being discussed. This is a more modern philosophical construct and one that I find not particularly compelling since it is generally viewed as the foundation by the modern leftists to force people to act altruistically in a way that they alone think is altruistic.

This is not what these folks had in mind. The original philosophy from Locke of life, liberty and property being unalienable rights are those rights that one gets from the virtue of being human did not include some kind of social compact. In fact, Adam Smith had written about sympathy in the Theory of Moral Sentiments, in which he explained that it is man's nature to act in altruistic fashion but this does not lead one to conclude that this is a right or compulsion but just a characteristic of man.

However, in the Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, too late for the framers to have read......

As every individual, therefore, endeavours as much as he can both to employ his capital in the support of domestic industry, and so to direct that industry that its produce may be of the greatest value; every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other eases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.

This kind of thinking, probably much discussed prior to publication destroys the notion that happiness can be construed in any way as being a compulsion to altruism.

The transformation by Jefferson from property to happiness is a beautiful re-creation of Locke's original thinking. Happiness includes their property as a subset but it grants us so much more. It is the purely individual right for people to pursue their dreams and live a life in which they see fit, within an accepting society. Yes, not hedonistic, but one that is tolerant of others and allowing those constructive dreams to have a place to be nurtured and flourish. It is also important to layer on that Jefferson also believed that it was the right and responsibility of the people to provide a check against the state that naturally grows it own rights at the costs of the people's. So their right to happiness also has an embedded responsibility to check the power of government so that not only us but our descendents have an opportunity to enjoy these rights.

But I think that happiness as Samuel Johnson defined it sums it all up for me...

Happiness- Háppiness. n.s. [from happy.]

1. Felicity; state in which the desires are satisfied.
2. Good luck; good fortune.
3. Fortuitous elegance; unstudied grace.

I think in this definition that the concept of unstudied grace is one that is most attractive to me. Unstudied means natural and grace is God's gifts to us. So it is also the right to live in a world where God is allowed to bless us.

9% Have Considered Quitting Their U.S. Citizenship - Rasmussen Reports™

I have a file in my office from the Hong Kong immigration authorities outlining how I can become a citizen of Hong Kong and the process that I have to go through to give up my American citizenship. The United States is no longer a nation where the individual is free. It is no different than some statist Euro style socialist state, in many cases much much worse and its getting worse every day. Too bad. It could have continued to be a great nation.

“We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can,” an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. “It’s disgusting.”

No longer just the Washington Monument Syndrome since this is now gone nationwide.

What is the Washington monument Syndrome?

The Washington Monument syndrome, also known as the Mount Rushmore Syndrome[1] or the firemen first principle,[2][3] is a form of velvet glove extortion government agencies often engage in when faced with budget cuts or a shutdown which entails cutting the most visible or appreciated services, such as access to parks and libraries[1] to laying off public employees such as teachers and firefighters.[2] This is done to gain support for the restoration of budgets that a majority of lawmakers and/or the public would normally be against.

Five myths about House Republicans - The Washington Post

The American press thinks that they are doing the world a favor. Why is this myths about Republicans? Of course one of the myths is that Republicans WANT a default or to shutdown the government. But how about the myths about the Democrats, the ones that the press is supporting? Are there any? There are plenty like the only reason that the Democrats are NOT negotiating is that Republicans want to strip healthcare from Americans. But healthcare is being stripped from Americans precisely due to Obamacare.

Press bias is a national shame. But the government is a national shame too. The only thing that these clowns can do to prove their usefulness is to physically put up barricades around national monuments and other completely unnecessary actions. We have an embarrassing government and this is what should be blasted across the front page of newspapers and on the nightly news. Embarrassing that we have a petulant government that spends money on nothing. When it shuts down, they have to make sure that people know it by taking extraordinary actions to prove it.

I have zero respect for our national government. It does not serve the people, has gotten so big that it does not know what to do with itself and is probably making lives worse not better.

Time for a revolution. Lets take to the streets and show them that we do not appreciate them.

The New York Times managing editor Dean Baquet speaks at Foster-Foreman Conference - The Daily Collegian: Campus

Fears 'reporting on truth will die'. The New York Times that invests a lot of money in keeping reporters on the beat is one of the reasons that truth has died. New York Times is one of the most biased publications in the news world where they serve the Democratic party and write numerous hit pieces on Republicans.

But to fair to this guy, he does argue that due to the internet and the ability of citizen journalists to report on news quicker and more accurately than traditional news services, that there will not be enough professional journalists to check facts and to get full pictures of stories.

However, until dishonest papers such as the New York Times begin to be an honest reporters of news, it won't matter since it is already impossible to get the truth from such outlets. So, the internet, on average will actually be able report more truth than such newspapers as The New York Times.

I do not trust Americans anymore. Many of them view your property as theirs and just use the government to get it. When one has a fascist government like we do that is bent on redistributing property to their favored groups, then it is the reason that we can no longer trust other people. It is the agent of seizing property, so time to end that.
