Is The Obama Administration Evil?

Is The Obama Administration Evil?

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

Back in the 1970's, a novel was written by "Thomas Luke," a nom de plume (by the way) for Graham Masterton.  The title of the book was/is "The Hell Candidate."

The premise of the story is that a candidate for President of the United States makes a pact with Satan to secure the presidency.  The reader follows "the hell candidate" through the campaign, which, of course, he wins.

OK.  Before you ask -- yes, I did read the novel, back when it was published in the seventies.  No pun intended -- that cussed book made a heck of an impression.   It was right up my alley -- politics and religion, er, possibly NON-religion?  Whatever.

("The Hell Candidate" by Thomas Luke is available at Amazon HERE.

So why am i making reference to Mr. Masterton's book?  Because America is in the midst of a presidential campaign and I am beginning to feel as if there is another Hunter Peal in the running.  (Hunter Peal was the hell candidate in the book of the same name.)

Look.  I've been around for a rather long time and this presidential campaign isn’t my first rodeo.  Even before I could vote I was helping at my local Board of Elections on election nights.  I was HOOKED!  I still am -- sorry to say.

Where am I going with this?  Here -- Obamacare is a piece of legislation drafted in Hell and, if NOT signed by Satan himself, then it certainly has his seal of approval stamped (in glowing red letters) diagonally across the signature page.

Under Obamacare I am going to have to pay for abortions that my faith tells me are flat-out wrong.  I stand with the Catholic Church in their opposition to Obamacare's forcing them to violate their religious faith and commit a sin. 

Now we learn, that under Obamacare, voluntary sterilization of young women (and young men) will be offered free for women -- girls-- as young as fifteen years of age!

Just so I am clear on this -- in my opinion -- this is pure evil.

It violates the Free Exercise of Religion clause in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.  It will force millions of the Judeo-Christian faith to violate their religion -- to commit sin.  To force millions of people to endanger their very souls is nothing short of demonic.  Obamacare absolutely has Satan's endorsement.

The man behind this mass abomination is Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States -- and -- current candidate for a second four-year term.

The scriptures tell us plainly a man cannot serve two masters.   So, it seems to me, that folks of the Judeo-Christian faith have to make a decision, no matter their political party preference, this November.  The choice is plain.  We people of faith must decide whether we stand with our God, or with Obama.  As a Christian myself, the choice is very clear and very stark.  It is a choice between good and evil.

The progressives, the socialists, the secularists in the Obama Administration and in the Democratic Party are fueling this drive toward population control (For that's what it really is.) in the US. 

How long, we must ask, before the voluntary sterilization becomes mandatory?  It is a fair question considering how the left uses incrementalism to advance their agenda. 

The "environuts" seem to feel there are simply too many people on the planet and to save the earth it is absolutely essential to get rid of as many human beings as possible.  Better yet, stop them from ever being born

Yes, there really is a war on Christianity in America and it is leading toward religious persecution for Christians and Jews in America.  The Obama Administration is the prime mover, Satan's generals, if you please.

It is past time for America to wake up and see the Obama Administration for what it really is -- evil.

It is clear that America is already on the road to a godless society -- and -- a totalitarian society.  The Obama Administration is shredding our constitutional rights.  Obama has, himself, made clear that he chafes under the constraints of the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights.

Do not count on the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare.  If I were a betting man, I'd bet that they will not do so.  The ONLY way this nation will be rid of that abomination from hell is to repeal it outright.

I, along with a few million of my fellow Christians, am going to the polls in November to vote against evil.  As we have been warned for a very long time, all that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

There is the story told of the mother of a boxer at ringside watching her boxer son being beaten to a pulp in the ring.  She notices that beside her is a priest.  So, in desperation she turns and says, "Oh, father, won't you please pray for my son.  You see the beating he is taking."  The priest replies, "Sure, I'll pray for him -- but it would really help if your son would fight."

There's a lesson for folks of the Judeo-Christian faith in this story.  Praying is good, but it would be a great help if we got up off out backsides and put up a real fight.

Freedom Is ALWAYS Better
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet


I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm becoming more than a little suspicious of the government's motives when it comes to all the deeply secret things they are doing, or reported to be doing, to protect me and my fellow Americans. 

There is an article HERE   entitled: "The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)"  that you need to read.  The article was brought to my attention by my good friend TEXAS FRED.

We have been telling our readers for many months of our concern that the US federal government is overstepping its authority and trampling on the constitutional rights of American citizens.   Of the most immediate concern to me is the government's monitoring of American's private communications.  If the article mentioned above is to be believed, now the government plans to not only monitor our communications, they are planning on storing them so they may be scanned at a later date. 

My concern is that we, as a nation, have crossed an un-crossable barrier.   And now that we have, somehow, managed to cross that barrier, we can never hope to go back.

I am very troubled that the United States is on a steep dive into totalitarian governance.  Notice:  I did not say a slippery slope, I said ... a steep dive!

We took the plunge on September 12, 2001.

We made a hell of a mistake -- in my judgment.

We have given up our freedom and liberty, bit by bit, little by little, hardly noticing at first -- if at all -- and now we are on the verge of losing ALL our freedom.

A few people are beginning to take exception to US government intrusion in their lives.  More will take notice over time.  The question is:  when will it be too late? Even more important -- is it already too late to reverse the loss of America's freedom and liberty?

The first defense the government throws up, when confronted concerning their overbearing intrusion, is that our enemies are doing it.  Therefore, we must do it to be able to stay even with them and PROTECT American citizens.  They insist that it is all for the protection of American citizens.

All police officers know what "Protective Custody" is.  A person is place in police custody to protect them from known or unknown dangers.  That "protectee" loses his/her freedom just the same as a prisoner in a jail.   He's protected, alright, but he is also imprisoned.  He has lost his freedom.  And this is what worries me about the government's ever growing grasp of power over the American people.

Look.  9/11 scared the living daylights out of, I daresay, the majority of Americans.  (Some of us just got mad as heck and vowed -- and insisted on  revenge.)   Americans were afraid.  We were blindsided, sucker-punched, surprised.  Fear set in.

Fear is a great motivator.  It is also a great TOOL in the hands of ruthless men.  Suddenly, patriotism was defined as granting government all the power it asked for to ... do what?  PROTECT US ... to place America in protective custody.  And it did. 

For a time, Americans forgot, or simply refused to remember, the old adage about giving up freedom for security with the end result being -- the loss of BOTH.

Some Americans did not forget.  Some Americans began, almost immediately, to cry "Wait!  This is too much!  Freedom is at risk here!"  Over the past decade the watchword among Americans has been "whatever it takes." 

What it took -- was our freedom!

Today, we have a choice.  We can choose to lose our freedom to our enemies -- or -- we can choose to lose our freedom to our very own government.  It is really quite simple.

Some choice, huh?  Those who advocate giving the government whatever it needs to protect us, assure us there is no need to fear our own government.  They say our government will never turn on it's citizens.  

How sure of that ARE you?  Are you sure enough to bet your life on it?  You'd better be -- because that is exactly what you are betting ... your freedom, your liberty, your life.

You want to see what it cost America to win and preserve that freedom?  I invite you to go to any national cemetery, like the one at Arlington, Virginia,  and view the rows upon rows of white crosses and Stars of David.  If you can do that and not shed a tear or, at least, choke-up, then there simply has to be something wrong with you. 

The Americans who preceded us gave their blood and fortunes to win and preserve our freedom and liberty -- and in one decade, one ten year period, we decided to begin giving it away, bit by bit because those people we sent to Washington, to represent our interests, assure us we can trust them to never turn on the American people.  They swore to watch over us.

The question today is:  Who's watching the watchers?

The trade-off has always, always, been simple.  It is late, but Americans must decide which is better ... freedom or security? 

I submit to you that FREEDOM is ALWAYS best.

Why Obama Will Lose in November ... Alan Caruba

Why Obama Will Lose in November

By Alan Caruba

I received a campaign letter from Michelle Obama the other day. This is especially surprising because I am a registered Republican; hardly a likely prospect to contribute to her husband’s reelection efforts.

“Every day I learn about the challenges and the struggles—the doctor bills they can’t pay or the mortgage they can no longer afford,” said the text. The “fairness” theme, a socialist meme, was expressed. “American prospers when we are all in this together, when hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, when everyone—from Main Street to Wall Street—does their fair share and plays by the same rules.”

The fact is, however, America has not been prospering for the last four years during which Barack Obama has been President. And everyone knows it. The U.S. sovereign debt rating was downgraded for the first time while he occupied the Oval Office. Federal spending (25% of GDP) is the highest since World War Two. Federal debt (67% of GDP) is the highest since just after the end of World War Two, and the nation has experienced, not only the longest recession, but the highest unemployment since the 1930s.

In the first nineteen months of his time in office, Obama added more federal debt than was amassed by all U.S. Presidents from George Washington to Ronald Reagan.

I have two theories about the November 6 election. (1) That it will be an overwhelming defeat for Obama or (2) that it will be so close we could see a situation comparable to the Bush-Kerry election in 2004. Had Kerry won, the vice president would have been John Edwards who was carrying on an affair during that campaign and who currently faces jail for misuse of campaign funds.

Obama’s Achilles’ heel is, of course, Obamacare. As Robert Bluey of The Heritage Foundation notes, recent polls indicate that 53% of Americans favor repeal and more than half (57%) say that the Supreme Court should strike it down as unconstitutional. Fully 60% of physicians believe the law will have a negative impact on overall patient care.

The Congressional Budget Office revisited Obamacare this past week and concluded that 20 million Americans could lose their employer-sponsored health benefits and 49 million more Americans could become dependent on government-sponsored health care. Projecting through 2022, Obamacare could cost as much as $2.134 billion and the employer-mandate penalties could hit $221 billion.

There’s another reason why Michelle Obama was writing to me last week. As Karl Rove noted in a Wall Street Journal March 14 commentary, “Many of Mr. Obama’s 2008 donors are reluctant to give again” to his campaign. “As the Obama campaign itself reported, fewer than 7% of 2008 donors renewed their support in the first quarter of his re-election campaign, well below the typical renewal rate.

The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee are burning through current donations so fast that the White House has told this year’s congressional candidates that they will not receive any funding support for their campaigns because Obama needs all the money.

While Obama’s 2012 campaign is already showing signs of stress, other issues will impose great pressure. Unemployment affects most American families either directly or because some member of the family or a friend is unemployed. Even the unemployed vote!

The price of gasoline continues to rise and there is nothing the White House can do to reduce it. Releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that exists for use only in an emergency will not do it and Americans are well aware that this administration has opposed or thwarted every effort to drill for more oil on federal lands. The failures of “green energy” companies that have cost Americans billions in loan guarantees are well known. A President who hypes “algae” as an energy solution will be seen as a fool and/or a complete charlatan.

Recent polls indicate how close the 2012 election may be. Obama has lost ground among female voters. In a head-to-head match-up with Mitt Romney, women voters back Obama 49%, but that is seven points lower than 2008. A Rasmussen poll found that 59% of likely voters asked whether Obama is more liberal or more conservative than they are answered that he was more liberal. Of these likely voters, 65% who are also union members thought Obama was more liberal than themselves.

Polling firms have been asking Americans to self identify themselves as conservative or liberal for decades. In February 2012, Gallup polling revealed “that in every single state with the exception of Massachusetts” conservatives outnumbered liberals. The Battleground Poll conducted by George Washington University in collaboration with Democrat and Republican polling organizations found that 58% of Americans described themselves as “very conservative” or “somewhat conservative”, while only 37% described themselves as “very liberal” or “somewhat liberal.”

A conservative campaign message will win in 2012 and this explains why the Republican primaries are all about candidates striving to describe themselves as a “true conservative.”

Even the mainstream media show indications of less Obama support. When even The Washington Post rejects Obama’s lies about U.S. oil reserves, as it did on March 15th, it suggests there may be a growing, wider level of disenchantment with the man they embraced in 2008.

Obama will lose in November. It may be a very close election or it may be an overwhelming rejection, but the polling numbers and the state of the economy will be the deciding factors.

Memo to Michelle Obama: The “fairness” message is not working. The appalling failures—“stimulus” anyone?—of Obama’s first term will ensure that there will be no second term.

Obama to Visit Oklahoma to Talk About Oil Drilling ... by Texas Fred

Obama to Visit Oklahoma to Talk About Oil Drilling.
By Texas Fred of the Texas Fred Blog

President Barack Obama will travel to the reddest of red states, Oklahoma, next week to argue yet again that he’s not against oil drilling, no matter what Republicans repeatedly say.

President Barack Obama waves as he boards Air Force One at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Friday, March, 16, 2012, before traveling on to Atlanta for another fund-raiser. He plans to travel to Cushing, Okla., just outside Stillwater, next week, where a new pipeline is set for construction by TransCanada, the same company that the administration blocked, at least temporarily, from building the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast, an administration official said.

Full Story Here:
Obama to Visit Oklahoma to Talk About Oil Drilling

Isn’t it amazing how Barack Hussein Obama always wants to talk about things of which he has NO knowledge? The good folks of Oklahoma are NOT going to buy into Obama’s faux words of wisdom, bet on it!

We don’t need no stinkin’ oil, that’s what Barack Hussein Obama says: Forget oil, fuel up with algae. Louisiana and Florida swampland owners are going to make a ton of money I guess.

If you don’t buy into the algae for fuel thing, or any number of other brilliant Obama ideas designed to save the earth from man, you must be a part of ‘Flat Earth Society’.

So says the Obamessiah.

I realize that I’m just a redneck, Neanderthal, knuckle dragging blogger from Texas and I don’t know much about the world, or *The BIG Picture* we hear so much about.

I obviously don’t understand the nuance of world government and the way our leaders work to keep this nation safe and solvent, that’s what the U.S. leadership would tell you, but I have got to say, in MY opinion, this story and its premise, and every action that the Obama regime foists off on this nation, is designed to destroy the American economy and to take the United States of America into the abyss of third world chaos.

In the first place; why are we importing oil from Libya? Why do we import oil from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela? Why are we allowing ourselves to be held hostage by the enemies of this nation? OPEC is NOT our friend, they don’t care if we live or die as long as we keep on pumping BILLIONS of U.S. dollars into their economy.

We don’t need foreign oil!

On March 13, 2011 I published this piece: New report says U.S. has largest fossil fuel reserves in world along with this commentary:

 

Yet WE rely on the Muslim world for most of OUR oil. We are held hostage and are subject to any whim or political shift the Arab world wants to force upon us.

It appears that Obama, his fellow Muslims, and the assorted moonbats and tree huggers are good with it too. All I can figure is, these tree hugger types MUST make a lot of money, they don’t seem to care how expensive oil gets and what that expense does to the U.S. financial markets and the manufacturing segment that relies on oil for a lot more than just gasoline.

In that same piece I also pointed out this little tidbit:

New drilling method opens vast oil fields in US

A new drilling technique is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States, helping reverse a two-decade decline in domestic production of crude.

Companies are investing billions of dollars to get at oil deposits scattered across North Dakota, Colorado, Texas and California. By 2015, oil executives and analysts say, the new fields could yield as much as 2 million barrels of oil a day — more than the entire Gulf of Mexico produces now.

This new drilling is expected to raise U.S. production by at least 20 percent over the next five years. And within 10 years, it could help reduce oil imports by more than half, advancing a goal that has long eluded policymakers.

“That’s a significant contribution to energy security,” says Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Credit Suisse.

Full Story Here:
Oil & Gas: New Drilling Method Opens Vast Oil Fields in US

Wow, we have new and innovative methods of drilling that can open up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States, helping reverse a two-decade decline in domestic production of crude. Isn’t that amazing?

Did anyone think to point this out to Barack Hussein Obama?

Oil Drops as International Reserves Are Tapped

Oil plunged nearly 5 percent Thursday after the International Energy Agency said it will release 60 million barrels of oil from its reserves to make up for a loss of Libyan exports in global oil markets. SOURCE

For those that don’t know, or don’t watch the stock markets as closely as others, the Dow DUMPED 215 points on this news. At last check the Dow was recovering and had regained some of its losses at the time this post was made, but the question is; WHY do we have to tap reserves and why are we still buying oil from OPEC?

We have made OPEC nations RICH with our purchases of oil, and don’t think I blame Obama exclusively, I don’t. This goes back a long time before he came on the scene.

There is one thing that I have known for many years; we have the oil, more than enough oil to keep the USA swimming in oil for many generations to come.

I remember Oklahoma in the 1960’s, we were buying gasoline for .16 per gallon in places, sometimes even cheaper than that if the stations decided to have a little *price war*.

For those too young to remember, at .16 per gallon, you got your windshield washed, your oil and water was checked, your tires were pressure checked with a gauge and your lights were wiped clean. FULL SERVICE at what we called, ‘A Service Station’.

There is only one thing I ever heard Sarah Palin say that I can 100% agree with, and that was her “Drill Baby Drill”.

We are being driven off of a cliff by the most anti-American individual I have ever seen. I am of course referring to Barack Hussein Obama and his dedication to taking America into the abyss of outright socialism. If we continue to allow him to do so, if he is allowed one more term in office, this nation is DONE FOR and the American way of life slips off into the annals of history.

But if America would seat a true Conservative in the White House, true Conservative, not RINOs, in the Senate and House, seat true Conservatives on the SCOTUS and would drill its own oil we could once again be paying less than a dollar a gallon for gasoline and this nation could emerge from the brink of destruction and rise like the Phoenix to a position of world greatness once again. 

But hey, what do I know? I’m just a Neanderthal, knuckle dragging, flat earther, redneck, beer swilling blogger from Texas that believes Barack Hussein Obama and his entire regime are the personification of PURE EVIL

 

Oil, Gas and Lies ... Alan Caruba

Oil, Gas and Lies

By Alan Caruba

Why some people are having difficulty identifying the cause of the present high cost of gasoline at the pump as the direct result of the last three years of Barack Obama’s energy policies is one of those great mysteries.

By “energy policies” I mean his administration’s opposition to access to the billions of barrels of oil on federal lands.

I mean his Energy Secretary’s earlier opinion that high gas prices are good for the economy, abandoned as they climb to and passed $4.

I mean Obama’s lies about the recent increase in oil production when he knows it is occurring on private and state owned land, not federal land.

I mean his opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline.

I mean the waste of billions of taxpayer’s dollars on “renewable energy” firms, many of which have already failed, along with the sales of the Chevy Volt, whose production has been discontinued.

I mean two amendments to the Senate transportation bill that would have created new taxpayer-funded subsidies for natural gas vehicles, extended the production tax credit to underwrite wind energy, and revived the Treasury grant program that gives taxpayer money for the installation of solar panels and other renewable technologies.

I mean the impact his policies are having on everyone’s wallet and its drag on the economy as his policies drive up the cost of gasoline and everything dependent on transporting goods anywhere…and that is everything!

Just how dumb do you have to be not to grasp that when Obama took office on January 20, 2009, oil was selling at $38.74 a barrel and the average retail price of gasoline was around $1.90 a gallon. Today, oil is trading at more than $108 a barrel and gasoline is closing in on $4.00 a gallon. As they say, do the math.

In early March, speaking in Nashua, New Hampshire, Barack Obama said, “Let’s put every single member of Congress on record. You can stand with oil companies or you can stand up for the American people.” This consummate liar is using the same pathetic message and damage done by Jimmy Carter---who got voted out of office after a single term as president.

In his 2005 book, “Why Your Gasoline Prices are High”, Seldon B. Graham, Jr, a graduate of West Point, used his fifty years of experience in the oil industry described what happened when, in 1981, Congress passed a windfall profits tax. “It was a death notice for USA oil. Many U.S. oil and gas companies went bankrupt…and those which survived were forced to go overseas to explore and drill in foreign countries.”

At the very time when the Middle East is in turmoil, the Democrats want to repeat the same blunder of 1981.

In a nation that sits atop billions of barrels of untapped oil in federal lands such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, domestic oil reserves in the lower 48 states, the Gulf of Mexico, and the vast untapped reserves off the nation’s continental coasts, the Obama administration has restricted oil companies from exploring and drilling in areas where new reserves of oil and gas are known to exist, shortened lease terms, and has slowed down permit approvals.

That is the equivalent of declaring an energy war on the nation. Moreover, in a virtual secret, the Obama State Department is involved in a deal to turn over seven Alaskan islands to Russia. One of them is the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined and who knows how much oil lies beneath them?

Oil prices are set by the market principles of supply and demand. By aggressively thwarting access to America’s abundant oil reserves, the Obama administration is deliberately keeping prices high and forcing them higher.

As Jack Gerard, the president of the American Petroleum Institute, said in a press conference on March 8, “When crude prices are high, the price at the pump is also high. With a 42-gallon barrel of crude oil topping $106, refiners pay more than $2.50 for each gallon of crude they must purchase. Add in the almost 50 cents per gallon on average in gasoline taxes and you have over $3.00 of what consumers are now paying at the pump.”

Simply by announcing his intent to open new areas for exploration and production, President Obama could signal the market and put downward pressure on today’s and tomorrow’s gasoline prices. This is exactly what happened when President Bush lifted the moratorium on the East and West Outer Continental Shelf back in July 2008. It resulted in a 12% decline in the price per barrel.

Why are we paying more? Why are U.S. dollars going to oil-producing nations that do not like America? Why are we competing for oil with China, India and other emerging economies when we have enough oil, gas, and coal to be energy independent for the next century or longer?

The reason is the policies of the present and past administrations going back to the days of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. The answer given by the White House is greedy oil companies and Wall Street “speculators.” It is a lie.

The worst of it, as a recent Wall Street Journal article explained, “Oil can’t go much higher without derailing the economy…at some point, oil prices overwhelm everyone,” wrote Liam Denning. Keeping them artificially high can have no other purpose than to continue the destruction of the nation and the President knows it.
