<p><b>By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer</b></p>
<p><b>Watching Uncle Democrat scaring his Republican children with campfire ghost stories about what happens to bad little boys and girls when they don’t support his agenda is painfully embarrassing and infuriating. </b></p>
<p><b>The script is numbingly repetitive: Child-like Republicans sit around the campfire shivering while kindly old Uncle Democrat tells them frightening stories about what will happen if they dare vote against his wishes. In a “Fort Worth-less Jim Wright” friendly, but firm tone Uncle Democrat warns his childish campers against being anything but good little Democrats. </b></p>
<p><b>The stories have the same themes: “If you  support protecting the borders our media friends will say you hate Hispanics. Then Hispanics might never vote for you again, children.”  </b></p>
<p><b>“If you insist on investigating these silly contrived “scandals” your own base will turn on you for being embarrassingly racist.”</b></p>
<p><b> “If you are pro- Second Amendment, especially above the Mason-Dixon Line you will lose every election.”     </b></p>
<p><b>Last Tuesday this third “ghost story” blew up in Uncle Democrat’s face. In Connecticut, which of course wants to cancel the Second Amendment and arrest anyone not registered as a Democrat according to the current theme, did something so un-liberal that it was stricken from the news wires. For the first time in forty years the people of Connecticut’s 53ard House District elected not only a Republican but a PRO SECOND AMENDMENT Republican to fill out the remainder of a term vacated by the resignation of its Democrat holder. </b></p>
<p><b>The local and state Democrats had to believe <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/pro-gun-republican-wins-vacated-democrat-seat-connecticut">Samuel Belsito</a> the Pro Gun Republican was on a suicide mission. Nevertheless, the joke is on Uncle Democrat and his lackeys at the RNC who believe the anti-gun narrative that Americans want gun control and will punish those who stand up for the Second Amendment.</b></p>
<p><b>The truth is, if Second Amendment support is alive and well in Connecticut just six months after New Town, it  can win almost anywhere.</b></p>
<p><b>Now if Uncle Democrat’s Republican children will only understand there is NO advantage to sucking up to Hispanics who will NEVER vote for them anyway and the Republican base WANTS investigations from now until January 20, 2017 we can finally begin to end our national nightmare. But of course can never happen because huddling around the campfire and being scared by Uncle Democrat is more fun than actually thinking.    </b></p>

<p><b>American colleges and universities are so flushed with cash that among the top ten schools in terms of the ratio between their endowment money and enrolled students are three schools most of us have never heard of.   </b></p>
<p><b>Colleges are businesses and will grab money from wherever they can. For decades they have worked hand in hand with Congress, (mostly Democrats) to raise tuition and fees knowing student loan money would keep coming from the US Treasury. College presidents have become experts in whining about not having enough money no matter how much they have. They NEVER lower tuitions and fees because they NEVER have to. The money is always there and if the degree programs they are selling don’t draw enough students they just invent new ones.  The evolution of the degree in “Professional Studies in Blah Blah” comes to mind. “Professional Studies” is code language for “we don’t know what the hell this degree is good for, but maybe you can get some schnook to hire you with it.” </b></p>
<p><b>College presidents are perpetually playing the part of “Black Bart,” the sheriff in “Blazing Saddles” who holds a gun to his own head and threatens, “Don’t come near me or I’ll shoot.” </b></p>
<p><b>College presidents make $500,000 a year and eat caviar, but they don’t have a corner on the “Black Bart” act. </b></p>
<p><b>Kim Jong-un the fat little twerp who runs North Korea comes from a family of thug dictators who threaten anything they have to so they can shakedown western countries when the funding for their bloated military begins to run low. Time and again the Jong family has threatened nuclear war to get what it needs. They don’t wear $10,000 suits but their crude extortion works just as well as the stunts the boys in the Ivory Tower pull.     </b></p>
<p><b>We NEVER hear colleges lowering tuition and fees for any reason, not the least of which being that they’ve raised a BILLION dollars in a single year’s endowment drive.  Likewise, the Jong’s will never admit that their people are starving because they spend all of their money on military hardware.   One eats sour cabbage; the other eats caviar but both are pigs eating at our public trough.   </b></p>

<p><b> </b><b>Last week Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat Santo Domingo) said the Gang of Ocho’s plan to erase our borders did not have the votes to pass in the Senate. While that technically could mean 59 votes, but if that was the case we would know about it. It’s more likely that there are at best 56 votes lined up, but that might be a generous interpretation of where it stands just a month from the Senate’s July 4<sup>th</sup> recess. </b></p>
<p><b>Getting this bill passed is a top priority for the Democrats as it will lead to millions of new robotic voters who don’t care about Democrats shredding the Constitution and in fact will be only too happy to help them sacking what remains  of America’s White majority’s wealth. </b></p>
<p><b>The scandals swirling around Barack Obama could very well push Democrat support among the majority White population down to under 30% but bringing in these new robotic leaches would render that development meaningless. </b></p>
<p><b>So what is a poor destructive liberal psychopath like Marco Rubio’s boss, Chuckie Schumer (Democrat Mexico City) to do? Use his every Sunday announcement to beat his chest and predict that his “Democrat Registration and Free Stuff Forever For Illegal Aliens” bill will pick up at least eleven new Senate votes – many Republican in the next thirty days of course!    </b></p>
<p><b>Schumer’s announcement (which stinks of desperation) shows his GOP puppets have not been able to move fellow Republicans. Moreover his accompanying threat that unless the House Republicans pass this monster, “Republicans will become a permanent minority Party” reinforces the point.   Nevertheless this begs some questions: Why wouldn’t Chuckie like that?  He’d have no more fund raisers; no more troublesome Constitutional issues; no more Fox or internet and certainly no more NRA! For Chuckie what’s not to like?   </b></p>
<p><b>Shakespeare’s famous line, “thou doth protest too much,” works well for explaining Chuckie’s gum flapping these days. He is talking through his sombrero. </b></p>
<p><b>The Boston Marathon Bombing and the London beheading showed Americans what erasing our borders will bring us and we don’t like it. The malevolent Mister Schumer is in for a rude awakening.    </b></p>

<p><b>Recently, although he failed to return a Marine guard’s salute, Barack Obama later approached the Marine and “</b><b>shook hands” with him had a brief conversation with him. The follow up “handshake” part of the story was not reported and many on the Right mistakenly howled at the “insult.” </b></p>
<p><b>This brief and otherwise meaningless “gotcha” moment allowed a half-witted liberal blogger named Charles Johnson to gloat and laugh at conservatives who had jumped on the story. Score one for the Left. Nevertheless, the genuine insults Obama heaps on veterans each day far out-number this small minded “victory” in the Left’s war to smother the truth about how veterans are really treated by Obama.  </b></p>
<p><b>Under Obama, veterans’ claims take an average of more than six month to be processed.      </b></p>
<p><b> </b><b>Just since 2009 the number of veterans waiting for benefits has risen from 11,000 to 245,000. Some of those waiting in Comrade Obama’s cue have very serious injuries. Those waiting include 1,600 vets who have lost a limb; 156 who are blind; 177,000 with hearing loss and at least 200 who need FACE TRANSPLANTS.     </b></p>
<p><b>Remember when under George Bush an unused wing of Walter Reed Hospital was pressed into service and its shortcomings (many very serious) were trumpeted by the media? The wing was closed and the problems were fixed. Conditions like that and worse are still in place but the media does nothing to trumpet this problem to protect Obama.  An ABC news inspection of  Veterans Administration facilities found filthy bathrooms dirty linens; visible dried blood, patients forced to beg for food and water and some so sick from neglect they were suffering bed sores. </b></p>
<p><b>In 2012 over 85,000 veterans were treated for sexual abuse suffered while in service.  When the Washington Post pointed out these numbers the Pentagon pledged to fix the problem; but as most Obama pledges that too has gone unfulfilled. </b></p>
<p><b>Obama charges many veterans the cost of shipping their medals to them. A South Dakota retired Sgt. Major had to PAY $21.00 COD to get his Purple Heart from the miserly Barack Obama. </b></p>
<p><b>The Veterans Administration has dropped the words God and or Jesus from its funeral services for veterans.  </b></p>
<p><b>As many as 1/3 of returning veterans have been deemed mentally ill and this is being used as a pretext to take guns from veterans across the country.</b></p>
<p><b>And of course there is Obama’s supreme insult which is labeling veterans as, “potential domestic terrorists” if they express viewpoints that are critical of the government.”  </b></p>
<p><b>When it comes to veterans, Obama’s handshake is worth as much as his word: NOTHING. </b></p>

<p><b>Because he posed a threat to Dick Durbin’s US Senate election in 1996, Illinois Republican Al Salvi was threatened by a United States government official. That official was Lois Lerner and she was using her position as a representative of the Federal Election Commission.  In the course of her FEC inquisition of Salvi for alleged election law violations, Lerner made a statement that amounts to extortion. </b></p>
<p><b>Following the Chicago way, Durbin made a series of FEC complaints against Salvi and Lerner took the point in handling his case.  According to Salvi, at one point Lerner made an offer to him that appears to have constituted the crime of extortion under US Code Title 18 section 872.  She said, “<em><i>Promise me you will never run for office again, and we&#8217;ll drop this case</i></em></b><i>.&#8221;  </i></p>
<p><b> Salvi rejected the extortionist offer and was punished with a series of phony charges stemming from Durbin’s complaint. The FEC charged Salvi with using un-identifiable funds, failure to report campaign debts and missing a filing deadline among other things. </b></p>
<p><b>Salvi refused to give in and fought the charges. In 2000 after several rounds of court appearances he was cleared of all of Durbin’s fake charges and went on with his life. When he recently saw Lois Lerner taking the 5<sup>th</sup> Amendment in a Congressional hearing his memory was jogged and he realized, “That’s the woman!”    </b></p>
<p><b>While Lerner is protected from federal prosecution by the statute of limitations, what she did seems to be a textbook example of extortion. </b></p>
<p><b>The specific statute Lerner violated makes it a crime to threaten to hurt someone unless they either do something or agreed not to do something the victim is legally entitled to do – such as run for office. </b></p>
<p><b>The US Code says extortionists acting under color of federal authority </b><b>shall be fined or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; but if the amount so extorted or demanded does not exceed $1,000, he shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.” </b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><b>One constant we have experienced under the reign of Barack Obama has been government and non-governmental agency (NGO) lies and distortions about the statistical state of our nation.  Believing the unemployment numbers, for instance, has become an exercise in suspension of disbelief. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has used a fabricated dysfunctional formula for counting our unemployed neighbors for so long that people have forgotten they are being lied to, if they ever knew the difference.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Recently a new insidious lie was quietly slipped into the public area. Under cover of Obama’s multiple scandals the Brookings Institute, a reliably liberal NGO, proclaimed there are now a million more poor people in our suburbs as compared to our cities.    </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Our suburbs are being called “ghost towns” to make the lie work and give the appearance that Americans coming back to our cities.  This and the other lies about crime and poverty in our suburbs being greater than in our cities serve the great “good” in the sycophant Leftist mind. These lies not only attack the governance of suburbs which are more likely to be conservative and Republican; but they promote and perpetuate the lie that liberalism works and makes our lives better and safer. The truth is that there is nothing true in the Left’s assertion of a better life in our cities. Our suburbs are growing not shrinking.  The truth is that the latest demographics show that 75% of those living in our 51 major metropolitan areas live in its suburban portion.         </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Urban poverty rates are 20.9% versus 11.4% in our suburbs and more likely getting worse. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>FBI data shows that cities suffer 3.4 times the amount of violent crime suburban areas experience. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Clearly,  the suburbs are not shrinking; do not have more poverty and do have less crime than our cities.  So why the lies? A good guess would be a Goebbels-like attempt to spray perfume on the stink holes that decades of Democrat rule have made our cities. How else can the Left explain away Detroit, a city infected by Democrat liberalism?   </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>“Every city is a paradise comrade so shut up and pay your taxes.”   </b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The culture of death has two halves: Islam is a theocracy embracing imposed death or slavery for infidels – even suicide bombing each other’s prayer times.  “Progressivism” completes the culture with its complete disdain for the sanctity of human life at all stages, even to the marital covenant between a man, woman and God on which human survival depends.  </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Islam with Sharia law and “progressivism” are incompatible with the Constitution and ultimately with any hope for a civilized society.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Statesmen as far back as 1950 were taking into account that there is a grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return on a broad scale, and with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world power. Muslim writers say,<i> &#8220;When the locust swarms darken vast countries, they bear on their wings these Arabic words, &#8220;We are God&#8217;s host, each of us has 99 eggs, and if we had 100, we should lay waste to the world and all that is in it.&#8221; </i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I used to think Iran getting a nuclear weapon was the “100<sup>th</sup> egg.” Today, I’m almost convinced the “100<sup>th</sup> egg” is the United States of America under Islamic rule. Who else could lay waste to all the world unless in the hands of evil men and women? Looks like Obama has given them a running start.</b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The WH is crawling with Muslim Brotherhood types. One with access is Imam Mohamed Magid &#8211; Obama&#8217;s Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of North America.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Ambassadorial post to the Vatican remains unfilled. Ronald Reagan knew the Vatican is the best international source of intelligence for freedom loving countries. He and Pope John Paul II proved it with the fall of the Soviet empire.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Obama sent two of the most heretical, lying, rebellious Catholics he could find to represent us at Pope Francis installation. Obama with his apparently deep longing for world rule has insulted and demeaned every traditional ally and friend America has had. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Let’s face it, the Catholic Church much appreciates the way our one nation under God is structured. She is so concerned for the direction we are going under Obama, Pope Benedict in an apolitical way nearly begged the American people to vote for Romney. The typical Catholic voted for Obama. Go figure.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The culture of death has two sides: Islam is a theocracy embracing imposed death or slavery for infidels and opposing Muslim sects where they suicide bomb each other&#8230; Progressivism completes the culture of death with its total disdain for the sanctity of human life at all stages, even to the sexuality on which human survival depends. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>These two are ultimately incompatible with a predictable outcome of bloody conflict the progressives are being led into. The two 20th century socialisms of Communism and Nazism should have taught us something. Didn’t Hitler slaughter a large group of his major supporters to consolidate his power? (1) One side of the culture of death joins the other at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. No wonder Obama stopped White House tours! </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Where is the hope? Mohammed held the Blessed Virgin Mary, the prophesied Virgo of the Stars, the Jewish mother of Jesus as the most important woman in Islam. While we spew hate back and forth, I believe Gods ultimate solution is based on his true nature  Love. Mary espoused it to all whether we want it or not. Can you spell Fatima or Lourdes or Guadalupe or Zeitoun? (2) Must we euthanize 80% of the world&#8217;s population to prove the culture of death&#8217;s point? Not if I can help it.</b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><b>The number of scandals and the speed at which they are both multiplying and growing in seriousness portends difficulties for Democrats in the near future. Nevertheless, they are a slippery bunch and never without a trick or two up their sleeve. </b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A movement for statehood for Puerto Rico is perfect trap for feckless Republicans who, after defeating Rubio &#8211; Schumer amnesty bill, will be looking for a way to apologize to Hispanics.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Clouds of “burnt sulfur” will fill the halls of Congress blinding Republicans to the fact that making Puerto Rico a state will provide Democrats will a permanent addition of four House and two Senate seats with no chance of ever changing those numbers. Ask the lone Republican legislator in Hawaii about this. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Right now the federal government hands a yearly total of $ 2 billion to Puerto Rico in food stamp grants with approximately $500,000 of it in totally untraceable c-a-s-h!  While less than 16% of Americans live on Food Stamps, fully 37% of Puerto Ricans receives Food Stamp grants and this is now without a voice in the Senate. What those numbers would balloon to once Puerto Rico became a state would be a bad dream come true. </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The island currently suffers from 14.2% unemployment under the phony numbers from Barack Obama’s Administration. What would make this better once it became a state? NOTHING!   </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>At this point we can only hope that after the Gang of Ocho gets shown the door the Republicans among them can pass the next test and say “no” to statehood for Puerto Rico as well. </b></p>
