Department Of Education’s Inspirational ‘Quote Of The Day’ Comes From Worst Mass Murderer In History

25 Mar

Department Of Education Treats Kids To Mao Quote – Moonbattery

Although the exact number of his own people he killed will never be known, Mao Zedong is history’s undisputed leader among genocidal tyrants in terms of body count, making him arguably the most evil man who ever lived. Mao is also noteworthy in that former Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn considers him one of her two favorite political philosophers. Dunn has moved on now, but adoration for Mao lives on in the administration. Friday’s quote of day at the Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics website:

“Our attitude towards ourselves should be ‘to be satiable in learning’ and towards others ‘to be tireless in teaching.’”

The quote is from Chairman Mao.

After the general public had become aware of the quote, it was pulled and replaced with the message, “Sorry there is no quote of the of day today.” Someone in the government must realize that it is still premature to expect the population to share the federal bureaucracy’s reverence for communist dictators.

Dear Obama voters

18 Feb

You voted for Obama because of his “make the rich pay their fair share” line didn’t you? Well, guess what, you are a fool

So Facebook is the latest company with close ties to Barack Obama to get a multibillion-dollar tax break. You’ll recall that General Electric’s CEO and head of Obama’s ”Jobs Council,” Jeffrey Immelt, managed to get a sweetheart tax deal for his corporation too. In 2010, GE earned over $14 billion and paid nothing in federal taxes. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Not a penny.

And these are just the tax breaks. The multibillion-dollar slush fund — of your money – directed to Barack’s friends and political donors in his Big Green Boondoggle is even worse.

Yep, Socialism sucks doesn’t it?

 

Team Obama: Perpetual Campaign Mode!

19 Jan

Doug Powers has a short post up about this and has some fun with the Obama administration perpetual campaign

The campaign never ends.

Be on the lookout for subsequent launches of initiatives such as “Organizing for Organizing” and “Don’t Even Think About Stopping Organizing.

The propaganda continues unabated folks.

 

And we thought Bill Clinton was a masterful liar

Of all the headlines that came out about Obama’s gun control Kabuki Theater today, THIS is the one that might make my skull collapse. Via Steve at MCT

Leader of Fast and Furious wants to study how guns get into hands of criminals

And he said it with a straight face folks! Of course, the media has pretty much blacked out Fast and Furious, like they blacked out Benghazi. And Obama’s radical ties, and his radical church, and so on and so on. They make such useful idiots for Obama!

Ah yes, the Left knows what we “need” don’t they?

Some commonly heard mutterings from the folks on the left AKA Nanny Staters

You don’t need an SUV

You don’t need a big house

You don’t need to make that much money

You don’t need to use that much energy 

You don’t need to own that many guns

You don’t need to own an ‘assault weapon or high capacity magazines

There are more of course. it seems the Left misreads the Bill of Rights as the Bill of Leftist-Approved Needs. But let us focus on that last one about high capacity magazines. Herschel Smith at Captains Journal wrote last month about home invasions increasingly being perpetrated by multiple thugs

I noted 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-man home invasions that had occurred all over America in the span of just a few days.  In recent news:

In Louisiana, a 4-man home invasion.

In Clemson, S.C., a 4-man home invasion.

In Akron, Ohio, a 4-man home invasion.

In Longwood, Florida, a 2-man home invasion.

In York, Pa., a 3-man home invasion.

In Independence, Mo, an 11-man home invasion leading to three deaths.

In Oklahoma, a 3-man home invasion.

In Knoxville, Tn., a 2-man home invasion.

In Tucson, Arizona, a 3-man home invasion.

In Arkansas, a 3-man home invasion.

In Rockford, Ill, a 3-man home invasion.

In Georgia, a 2-man home invasion.

In Texas, a 2-man home invasion with three family members shot.

In Philadelphia, a 2-man home invasion.

Man beaten and intentionally burned in home invasion in Laurel, Montana.

In N.C., a 2-man home invasion.

In Grantville, Pa., a 4-man home invasion.

In St. Petersburg, a 2-man home invasion.

In Georgia, a 2-man home invasion.

When a violent crime is intended, the criminals are increasingly teaming up into multiple-man crews to perpetrate their evil.  Thanks, but I think I’ll keep my high capacity magazines.

Now, most Liberals reading this might accuse Herschel, and other gun owners of living in fear. that is a common trend among the gun grabbers now. you accuse gun owners of some irrational paranoia or fear, as if being aware that there bad people in the world is somehow irrational. Not at all being aware and prepared is not only NOT irrational, it is the state of mind of reasonable people.

I have told the story several times of the masked man that attempted to rob me as I exited the restaurant I ran in Dallas in 1998. He failed because I was aware, I saw his feet as he lurked behind the fire escape behind the building. He failed because I was prepared, I had my hand on my Colt .45 in my bag, as I always did when leaving late at night. And he failed because he lost his will to rob me when he was looking down the barrel of my gun. A story I have not told very much is what happened about a month later. A story I share now

In the mid 1990′a a man friend of my uncle in Tampa, a Tampa  police officer shot and killed a man attempting to carjack him. The story always stuck with me. and whenever I have stopped at a red light or stop sign I have made it a point to be aware of the surroundings, and especially of anyone approaching the car. So, after leaving work, with my gun in my bag. I drove out of the parking area behind our building, turned right onto a side street leading to Record Street, from there, it is a quick trip to I-35 South. Stopping at the light, waiting to turn left. I checked my mirrors and saw a man approaching the divers side of my car. As he got even with the back of my car, he made a move towards the door. I pulled out my gun just as he was even with the drivers window. He raised his hands, immediately, turning the way he had come.

Now, what was his purpose?  To ask for money? Ask for a ride? To rob me, take my car? The manner in which he came towards the car seems to indicate he had no good intentions. And it is clear the presence of a prepared and armed driver dissuaded his intentions.

Which brings us back to those high-capacity magazines. They are not about fear, or paranoia. It is about being prepared, because a responsible person prepares for situations that likely will never happen. Which might lead a reader to ask if I have an “assault weapon” or if my handguns hive “high-capacity” magazines. Maybe, maybe not. The point is that my home is my home, and anyone breaking in is a threat to me and those I love. The point is that it is my DUTY to defend my home, and those in it from harm. The point is I do my best to be prepared. The point is that anyone breaking in is, as I said, a threat, and I will use whatever force necessary to stop that threat!

 

Audio- Klavan: don’t blame video games

18 Dec

Love Andrew Klavan, he is one of my favorite thinkers. if you blame TV, or video games, consider that millions play video games, and very, very few ever go out and go on killing sprees. If these games “caused” violent outbursts, there would be many many more of these acts. The fact is so many WANT to blame something, anything other than the killer.

 

The greatest Tweet evah?

22 Nov

Via Donald Douglas comes this gem which sums up how unrealistic the Left’s view of the world really is. Many of them seemingly live in an idealistic alternate reality where reason never reaches them. It is also amazing how empathetic the Left is to some people, while at the same time they are unfeeling and cruel to others.

 

 

Mike Brezynski comes very close to making an important point

4 Oct

 

But then fails miserably to note the obvious truth she almost stumbled upon

Mika, Mika, Mika! The point you made without even realizing it is that Obama, in four years, has proven himself incapable of DOING THE JOB! You are “sick” because your hero was exposed for what he is, an incompetent buffoon

 

Something that breaks my heart

21 Jul

 

Is that some Conservatives, whom I agree with on issue after issue, have a lack of understanding about the War Between the States, the causes of it, and the history of it. frankly, I expect historical ignorance from Liberals, but from Conservatives? No, I do not expect that, not at all. Here is a video you should watch that will challenge many of the pre-conceived notions you may have about the War Between the States. After you watch it, check out the new blog that Stogie has started Confederate Gray

As I said, it breaks my heart that so many, including some Conservatives look at the war as nothing more than a fight against, or for slavery. It breaks my heart that so many view the common Confederate soldier as nothing more than the enemy of freedom somehow. It breaks my heart that the history has been taught in such an atrocious manner in many cases. It breaks my heart that my ancestors, who fought for their homes and freedom are often demonized. And yes, it breaks my heart that Lincoln is lionized as a hero who “saved” America, and that his violations of the Constitution are heralded as wonderful and necessary by the same folks who are today, struggling beside me to preserve our beloved Constitution.

 

In which I fully agree with Smitty

1 Jul

Smitty lays down an argument I myself have made and who am I to disagree with Smitty, or with myself?

Progressivism is antithetical to liberty as we know it. The silver liningcrew is attempting to find something good in the Thursday’s whuppin’. And you can re-fight it like a Civil War battle all you like. Whether or not history shows that Roberts gave us the Full Denton doesn’t matter: that’s the decision.

So, instead, let us prove ourselves an exceptional nation. Let’s muster all the patriotic attorneys general, and the great conservative legal minds, and set about saying that a tax is a tax; that godforsaken sacred cow Ponzi scheme known as Social Security is a tax, and send it to the butcher along with ObamaCare.

Who is with me?

Count me in.

Krauthammer on Obama’s end-run around Congress

I will remind Adrienne not to get too upset over this

Okay – my outrage meter just went up…

about 1000 notches.

What kind of woman proudly declares her desire to kill her own baby and demands that you pay for it?  This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve witnessed in a long time.  Sad and pathetic women acting out their part as useful idiots…

Just remember Adrienne, these are not real women, they are Feminuts!

Thanks to Obamanomics………….

It is National Take Your Daughter to the Unemployment Office Day

That Chris Wysocki  guy is a sarcastic bastard, which I really appreciate, being a sarcastic guy myself

Today used to be known as Take Your Daughter To Work Day.

Now thanks to the genius of President Barack Obama, it’s Take Your Daughter To The Unemployment Office Day!

And then to the food stamp office, and the welfare office, and last but not least the voter registration office. Yes America, vote Democrat, because it’s easier than explaining to your daughter why you don’t have a job.

Moron Congressional Race Pimp furious that her credibility is questioned

Credibility? Race Pimps don’t need no stinkin’ credibility! And if you think they do? Then you are clearly a RAAAAACIST who has never worn a hoodie!

Wanna cut spending? Shrink government, which would cut spending even more? Wanna increase jobs, which would increase revenues, and cut spending even further? The get rid of the crushing regulations President Marx Obama has imposed!

Karl Marx (1818-1883)

We are frequently told that there is no way Big Government can cut spending, so we must endlessly increase confiscatory taxation on “the rich.” In reality, saving $46 billion per year while improving the quality of our lives would be a simple as repealing the major new regulations Obama has inflicted:

An instant classic from Smitty at The Other McCain

26 Oct

Smitty is truly an America treasure

Nibblin’ on coffee cake
Watchin’ some bum take
All of the handouts
From some others’ toil
Strummin’ my six phones
Amidst all the chicken bones
Smell those socks? They’re beginnin’ ta boil

Wasted away again in my ObamaVille
Chanting mic check near the Chase vault,
Some people claim
That Obama’s to blame,
But I know
It’s George Bush’s fault

Don’t know the reason
My toes are a-freezin’
With nuthin’ to show
For the whole protest zoo.
But Barack is a beauty
A Che-lovin’ cutie.
How he got there we haven’t a clue.

Wasted away again in my Obamaville
Where the cops just told us to halt
Some people claim
That there’s a rich man to blame
But I know
It’s my own damn fault

I can’t hog the whole ball here. Write another verse and let me link you.

The cold hard truth- Obama wants to use taxes to enforce his version of fairness

17 Jul
Barack Obama

If y’all have not figured it out yet, Obama IS A MARXIST!

Throw that clip in with his repeated hints about “spreading the wealth around” and “shared sacrifice”, and of course his famous line that “at a certain point you have made enough money”. Is it that tough to figure out?

How about his many close ties to Marxists? Jeremiah Wright and his bitter Black Liberation Theology church, Bill Ayers, Van Jones, a multitude of Leftist union thugs, not to mention his parents, grandparents, and on and on, and……………

What a stunner, the Left is re-writing history again

9 Jul

To listen to Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton tell it, you would think that the American Revolution was led by Marxists. Sheesh!

Too bad Mark Dayton isn’t running for national office.  Otherwise, I’d love to see Chris Wallace ask Dayton the “flake” question after Dayton’s explanation of the American Revolution to Minnesotans last week, an explanation that went largely unnoticed.  Minnesota’s governor has shut down state government in an effort to force the Republican-led legislature to hike taxes on the wealthy in a state that’s already ranked 43rd in the nation for tax climate, and attempted to justify this stand by hearkening back to our forefathers:

It is significant that this shutdown will begin on the 4th of July weekend.  On that date, we celebrate our independence.  It also reminds us that there are causes and principles worth struggling for – worth even suffering temporary hardships to achieve.

Our American Revolution was very much about fair and just taxes, where the middle-class was over-taxed while the very rich went tax-free.  In the absence of fair taxes, the basic services people relied upon for their health and well-being were denied them.

Er … riiiiiiiight.  The American Revolution, led by wealthy landowners and businessmen like John Hancock, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the moneyed class revolted against the Crown for forced redistribution of wealth via government.  Damn the History Channel for not covering this aspect of the Revolution!

So, is the governor REALLY that stupid? Or is he just assuming that Minnesota voters are that stupid? Either way, he wins our Marxist Moron of the Day Award

About all of those Obama family vacations

29 Jun

You see, since the economy, I mean the Obama cannot get any flak for how bad things are since it is all George Bush’s fault economy, is not that great, lots of Americans are cutting back on vacation plans. So, to help Americans get over not being able to vacation, the Obama’s are vacationing for us! Yes, I know, this sounds absurd, but, hey, how much you wanna bet that at some point, someone on the Left uses this excuse?
