Obama is Muslim... According to Plurality of Alabama and Mississippi Voters

Liberty -vs- Tyranny

With our nation drowning in a vast sea of read ink, an administration that continues to push for more dependency on the federal bureaucracy {aka Leviathan}, increasing federal regulations, a manufacturing infrastructures that continues in decline -- especially heavy industry, and the slow erosion of individual liberties just to name a few issues of consequence, I can not help but shake my head and snicker when I see reports like the following.

New York - It has been a while since the question of President Obama's religion -- his true religion, maybe the religion he or his "church" don't want you to know about -- has been on the national agenda. And the upcoming Alabama and Mississippi primaries are an opportune time to raise it, since Republicans from Alabama and Mississippi are a discerning bunch and especially apt to see through the president's tissue of lies.

Skip

The poll also finds that two-thirds of the Republicans in both states do not believe in evolution. Two-thirds of Alabama Republicans also believe interracial marriage ought to be legal, compared with 54% of Mississippi Republicans. Progress!{Read Entire Article}

Just maybe this helps explain why the country is in such a sad state of affairs. Some folks just seem to be more concerned with frivolous issues or unfounded fears than the things that really matter or make a difference.

    Well, lets get your facts straight too. For instance, the Obama administration has not increased federal regulations any more than any other modern administration. In fact, it's been a little less. As for heavy industry, regulations are down, and as for "personal" liberty, the Obama administration has been quite laizzez faire - especially when compared to the House GOP.

      I get it, Les. Really. I do. Obama is a mainstream, status quo politician. I was saying that long before he was President. That's why I always cringe and shutter with pity at the right-wing's ridiculous assertions about the man. He is your run of the mill brilliant young law student come big shot in American politics. Blah, blah, blah.

      I'd still take him over any of the "statists" on the right! At least he wouldn't be insane and completely adhere to Voo Doo economics, as modern conservatives want to forever repeat. That's the definition of insane, ya' know.

      Only one GOP runner is different, but unfortunately, the great Ron Paul, and I may add Dennis Kucinich and Barney Frank, is among the last of his kind. We've moved on to a new, dumber generation. It's unfortunate.

      We have to argue realistically and educationally. We have to get the kids thinking. Draw them in with the hot button issues, then move on to the cruxes. We can't just focus on the hot button nonsense, lest we be enabling the stupidification. We need to elevate the debate.

    Mississippi and Alabama, two of the country's poorest states, and two states that are among the country's highest in high school dropout rate.

    High school graduation rates vary by region.

    On average, states in the Northeast United States and Midwest had higher graduation rates in 2008 than states in the South and the West. The Midwestern states had the highest average graduation rate – an average of 82 percent of high school freshmen in 2004 went on to graduate high school within four years in 2008. In the South, where graduation rates are lowest, only 72 percent of high school freshmen in 2004 graduated within four years in 2008. All but one of the 10 states with the lowest graduation rates were in the South or the West, while all 10 of the states with the highest graduation rates were located in the Northeast or Midwest.

    There has to be a connection between the low percentage of high school graduates in the south and the high percentage of people who believe Mr. Obama is a Muslim or any other stupid lies being fed to the non-critical thinking populations there.

      It certainly seems reasonable to believe there may be a direct relationship between the two data points.

    Actually, Mr. McJones, President Obama wrote only 5 fewer rules but cost businesses more.


    Obama’s White House approved 613 federal rules during the first 33 months of his term, 4.7 percent fewer than the 643 cleared by President George W. Bush’s administration in the same time frame, according to an Office of Management and Budget statistical database reviewed by Bloomberg.


    The number of significant federal rules, defined as those costing more than $100 million, has gone up under Obama, with 129 approved so far, compared with 90 for Bush, 115 for President Bill Clinton and 127 for the first President Bush over the same period in their first terms. In part that’s because $100 million in past years was worth more than it is now due to inflation.

    Feel free to read the article yourself:

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

Spoken Like a True Dyed In the Blue Statist...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Ever hear of or read Mother Jones ? Well I just did, and as near as I can figure she must be Woodrow Wilson's or Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Mother. I say this because she sure as hell is pro statist and pumped up for growing the government bureaucracy. The article is short so it is being reproduced here in full. This site appreciates Mother Jones candor in expressing the statist credo and the desire on the part of the left for an ever larger and more intrusive presence in our daily affairs and lives. January's job numbers were fairly dismal, but the bad cheer wasn't equally spread. Private sector employment, as usual, increased—by 142,000 jobs last month. At the same time, public sector employment declined. Government employment at all levels was down 29,000 in January. Aside from the brief census blip in early 2010, this has been the usual state of affairs for the past four years, ever since the rece

The "Scandal" That Won't Go Away...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny CBS - Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up." Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently. "We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli

"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss."         Karl Brunnholzl  Today w e feature a guest article by Eva Benoit . She is a life coach who specializes in helping others who experience the suffering of anxiety. More about Eva in her own words: I began my career as an office manager, which actually started my journey to becoming a life coach.  I was constantly bombarded with employees telling me about their work stress, which naturally turned into a conversation about  everything  — work-related or not — that took a toll on their mental well-being. I found that my most satisfying workdays were those that allowed me to help someone take control over their stress, whether it was something I was able to do in my role as the office manager or just as a compassionate listening ear.

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail.

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar
