CAMPAIGN 2012

America in the 1950s/Flickriver.com

By Dennis Mullin

The second half of the campaign has almost caught up with us, as the tedium of the debates has sawed away almost daily. Obama has no choice but to run on his totally dismal record. The Democratic press has stopped even pretending to be objective – so there is nothing to read. The Republicans are unimpressive and there is no Ronald Reagan to sweep the field. But the GOP candidates keep swapping primary wins, and after Gingrich’s impressive win last week in South Carolina, -- there is actually a chance the Republicans could end up at open convention with no clear winner at all in sight. That would further muddle one of the already most boring races ever. More than half say they wish it was already over. That’s the new “American Exceptionalism”—stay home.

MEDIA GEARS UP TO GIVE OBAMA ANOTHER TERM TO FINISH THE NATIONAL DESTRUCTION

CAMPAIGN 2012: Predictably, with the full campaign bearing down on us and the Iowa caucus just days away (Jan. 3), the lapdog press is rallying to propagandize Obama into a second term, so that he can finish the destruction of America that he has already started in earnest. The “mainstream” press is suddenly full of stories about the lackluster Republicans self-destructing, and growing confidence among the East Wing minions that they can pull off re-election of a man who has turned the entire national economy into a Ponzi scheme. His motto is “Pay out what you don’t have, and promise more.” MSNBC has Al Sharpton and the rest of its corrupt anchors attacking Republicans in on-the-air ads, without registering as a political PAC. This is journalism? Polls show 70 percent of Americans wish the election was over – “Yes We Can What?”(Double left click on image for full story).


ENOUGH IS ENOUGH:

SPEAKING THE TRUTH:At some point, even this society of avaricious, selfish, pseudo-intellectual spoiled brats is going to recognize that it is racing for disaster. Now, if you love America, soon you may almost have to leave it. The time has come to state the obvious: When this incompetent buffoon in the White House – along with his larcenous, union thug-buddies, and infantile liberal policy class-war chums – is through, we will all have to be multi-lingual.  We will have to speak mandarin to talk to the Chinese who own us, classic Greek to explain why we are bankrupt and still on strike against ourselves, Arabic to explain to the Mideast why we want to pay exorbitant amounts in order to prevent our own energy independence by stopping ourselves from drilling, Portuguese to tell Brazil why we are sending our drilling firms to their country to keep them out of here, Filipino to communicate with our national workforce taxed out of America, Spanish to press 1 for English on the national tape machine, Esperanto to tell the UN why have become the dumbest, poorest, most useless country on earth while appointing ourselves to police their environments – and then Chinese again to try to borrow more money for Obama, Jimmy Hoffa Jr., the teacher’s union, and the rich “progressives,” to “off us” because we have gone “soft.” (Double left click on image for full story)

S.O.S. (SURVIVING OBAMA SYNDROME)

SOS Security, LLC

 By Dennis Mullin

CAMPAIGN 2012: "How are we going to survive as Obama sleepwalks into the past? He’s already suffering second-term letdowns, and the rumor is that he is lining up a job teaching economics at Community Organizer University in Pyongyang.  The “birthers” in Kenya are now insisting he was born in the United States.

SOS: Increasingly the nation is suffering from a severe case of SOS; (“Surviving Obama Syndrome.”)  Republicans are fed up with the economic catastrophe he has unleashed, (Blame Bush if you want to, but it is undeniable the Great Savior has made things demonstrably worse); Independents are disgusted with his dearth of ideas about addressing the nation’s ills; and Democrats complain bitterly that he hasn’t been radical enough. This guy can’t buy a break, even after borrowing trillions of dollars. Obama is sleepwalking into the past. The only people who are happy are the unions, and they want to “off” the rest of us “sons of bitches.” (James Hoffa Jr.)

911 — SEARCH FOR VENGEANCE

Dennis Mullin writes, "Speaking for myself, (Jessie Ventura and other conspiracy theorists aside) this won’t end for decades – until vengeance is realized for every person who perished in the 2001 attacks. The attackers did not understand the certitude (rightfully or wrongly placed) of the American spirit." (Double left click on image for full story). 

CAMPAIGN 2012: OBAMA IS TAKING A BEATING.....

Franklincountyvapatriots

CAMPAIGN 2012: Obama is taking a beating from friend and foe alike for his lack of leadership of a nation that is seriously adrift. He seems fresh out of ideas on how to address the country’s economic woes. He and his staff seem totally obsessed with re-election – rather than to fix the mess they have created in America and want to continue to add to. And they say candidate Perry is “lethal.”(Double left click on image for full story).

LIBYAN REBELS ADVANCE

By Dennis Mullin

DEFENSE: Libyan rebels expelled government forces from the strategic western city of Zawiya on Aug, 20, a major victory for the opposition in their march on Moammar Gadhafi’s stronghold of Tripoli. The territory remaining under the Libyan ruler's control has been shrinking dramatically in the past three weeks, with opposition fighters advancing on the capital, a metropolis of 2 million people, from the west, south and east. Zawiya, a coastal city just 30 miles west of Tripoli, was taken after stiff resistance, effectively severing Tripoli’s supply lines from Tunisia. It is the biggest win so far in the rebels' three-week-old offensive. News reports suggest Gadhafi may be considering flight and the rebels are contemplating the aftermath.  Meanwhile on another front, US scientists are hard at work countering terrorist activities -- concentrating on explosives detection.(Left click on image for full story).

CAMPAIGN 2012: POTENTIALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT IN U.S. HISTORY

Water over the dam (Niagera Falls)

By Dennis Mullin

CAMPAIGN 2012: Today we start the coverage of the election that will be held a year from November, and is shaping up as perhaps the most important one in American history. The question is a simple one: Will America fundamentally alter its nature to become a European-style, big government, highly-regulated socialist state with the primary goal of income redistribution, and a foreign policy that leads from behind (whatever that means) as President Obama and his allies advocate; or will someone rise to the top of the Republican field to re-establish America’s free market, highly innovative, responsibly funded private sector-driven economy with a foreign policy based on strength to recapture American exceptionalism.? Or, is it all too late, and is the water already over the dam? (Left click on image for full story).

President Obama’s problems aren’t limited to debt. His foreign policy is somewhere between benign neglect and total paralysis. Libya’s Gadhafi is still in power, Syria is in civil war. Yemen is in an armed standoff. Over the weekend, 22 Navy SEALs were among 30 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan, in the deadliest day of the decade-long war. Obama’s response is to call for a decline in coalition forces. (Left click on image for full story). 

THE SKY IS FALLING AS CREDIT RATING IS CUT, AND THE TEA PARTY JOINS AL QAEDA

By Dennis Mullin

DANGEROUS TIMES: Watch out for your 401K. On Friday, Standard & Poor's downgraded US debt for the first time since 1917 -- despite the debt agreement. On Monday when markets opened the Dow Jones industrials fell 634.76 points – after the President said he knew of the debt problem well before the downgrade, and that, “Markets rise and fall. The U.S. will always be a triple-A country despite what rating agencies say.” Markets promptly dismissed him and continued with the sixth worst decline for the Dow in the last 112 years. The recent debt-limit extension pleased few, as Democrats got the go-ahead to keep spending the nation to ruin.  Everybody knows the story about Chicken Little, who said, "The sky is falling. I must go tell the king." It appears the chicken was a little ahead of its time, and if it went to the King today it would find a befuddled Obama, mumbling about the evil rich while charging $35,000 a plate -- to raise $1 billion to continue his goal of transferring national economic power and wage class warfare past 2012. He could not less if the sky fell – as long it only hit rich Republicans and not Hollywood stars, bureaucrats, or the one out of every seven households that he has already put on food stamps -- with an economic approach that even Chicken Little couldn’t swallow. These are times of urgency. America’s future is truly on the line, and the Emperor has no clothes. (Left click on image for full story)
