Grandma's Watching

Most clear-thinking Americans are now beginning to believe that the Obama Administration is inherently corrupt. His Department of State and Department of Justice are in lock-step with him on cover-ups from “Fast and Furious” to Benghazi. These two items are so out there in the open, it is hard to find a “whatever it takes to keep him in office” Liberal who is willing to even discuss those issues.

However, this entire subject is what the phrase “Tip Of The Iceberg” was coined for. You need not look too far beneath the surface to come to the scary conclusion that this is a very massive iceberg.

In the interest of brevity and still make a solid point, I decided to pick just one example of something that will probably remain obscure but  bring out a glowing illustration of the wide swath of dirty politics and downright corruption this man and his henchmen (and woman) have cut through the fabric of America.

The topic is voter fraud. We all know they did it. There are the overt examples from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado and on and on. But here is an example of one of the many hundreds of ways it was pulled off.

From the time Obama took office, an unholy alliance has developed between the Department of Justice and the ACLU. Now, to most Americans, it would seem to go without saying that the role of the DOJ should be to protect voter integrity, not join with radical leftwing groups in trying to undermine it. But remember, this is the Obama Justice Department, with Eric Holder as its chief – a man so disdainful of basic security measures and legal protection to ensure free and fair elections that he has become a regular on Judicial Watch’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians” list.

In Florida, a lawsuit in early 2012 was brought against the State because it was proven that Florida had an amazingly high rate of ineligible voters on the registration roles. Florida immediately went into action to attempt to clean up the problem. Wait just a minute there Mr. Sunshine State! “Not so fast,” said Eric Holder. The DOJ, with the help of the ACLU, then followed with its own lawsuit on June 12, 2012, asking a federal court to enjoin the state from taking steps to inquire about the presence of non-eligible aliens on voting rolls. It all came to a screeching halt and thousands of illegal votes were cast for? Now wait! Think about it . . . Right! Barack Obama.

From the very top of the federal government down to the liberal grassroots, there seems to be a general acceptance that breaking the law to keep Obama in the White House is perfectly OK. A brand new case-in-point just reared its ugly head yesterday when it was revealed that the IRS was targeting Tea Party members for tax audits. The Tea Party??  In every picture I have ever seen of a Tea Party rally I never saw a person that looked like he or she did not pay their due in taxes to the federal government. Most of them look like someone’s grandma or grandpa. What are the Libs so afraid of?

Of course, when we were kids, the last person you wanted mad at you was your grandma or grandpa. Then you knew you did something really wrong.

I rest my case.

You Get What You Vote For

I watched some of Dana Perino's interview with Bush 43 the other night.  It was not long into the dialogue that I heard those four words that Bush espouses nearly every time he gets to a microphone.  "Stand by your principals."  When asked how he would best describe his success in his presidency, he fell back on those words, "I stood by my principals".  OK . . .I get it.  Bush was principled.  It sounds good on the surface.  He has a set of principals that he lives by.  In fact, it seems we should feel good when a presidential candidate assures us that he will stand on his principals.  Usually, we do feel good.  So why does it bother me when I realize that Barack Obama has a set of principals that he also stands for?

Considering the virulent press Bush received and the even more difficult liberal congress, he was able to accomplish quite a number of things that he set out to do  based on his principals.  He stood strong against partial-birth abortions, he signed two income tax cuts, he increased small business incentives creating a hiring frenzy.  He also changed the tone of the White House back to one of honor and dignity and launched an initiative to combat AIDS in Africa that has saved millions of lives.  However, he also stood on principal when he outlawed stem-cell research based on his religious beliefs.  And was he being principled when he signed nearly every spending bill the democrats sent him from Congress?

And so it goes . . . We seem to have yet another principled president in the White House.  Obama sticks to his principals nearly to the letter.  Problem is, from Obamacare to immigration, from his world apologies to redistribution of income, his principals are nearly all wrong for America.  He even voted against the Infanticide Bill.  Really . . .?  What kind of person would do that?  Most of his principals more closely resemble Lenin or Mussolini than any American president.

When I think about it, we never should just vote for principled individuals. We should find out what the candidate's principals are and make decisions as to whether or not those principals spell disaster for our country.

And that's all I'm going to say about that.

I am writing a blog post about Obamacare that should be ready by this Sunday.

I said should be.
