Another Bad Week For King Barack I

Well, last week was pretty interesting, wasn’t it? What with Benghazi, the IRS and DOJ v AP, it was not a stellar week for the administration, when the MSM starts talking about Watergate, a Democratic president might want to think rather carefully about the road forward.

Or maybe it’s too late for that, already. Now that the big three are out there, people are starting to talk about other problems, and we all know that “Bad Good things come in threes” or is it “The third time’s the charm”.

Here’s the next three scandals coming up via Marita Noon

[...]

EPA Favors Friendlies

We see favoritism in the EPAs treatment of friendly groups vs. a “concerted campaign to make life more difficult for those deemed unfriendly.” A few days ago, the Washington Examiner reported on the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s (CEI) review of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to see how equally the agency applies its fee waiver policy. The results are shocking.

Chris Horner, Senior Fellow at CEI, told me: “The IRS and EPA revelations are near-identical uses of the state to enable allies and disadvantage opponents. Granting or denying tax-exempt status can make or break a group. The same is true with FOIA fee waivers being tossed like Mardi Gras beads at greens, and denied to opponents of a bigger regulatory state. Fees for FOIA document productions can run into the six-figures.” [...]

Wind farms get a pass

We see the same “startling disparity in treatment” in the way the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act is applied. Under both acts, the death of a single bird—without a permit—is illegal. On May 14, the AP reported on an investigation that showed that nearly 600,000 birds are killed each year by wind farms, including an average of about one golden eagle a month in Converse County, WY—which the AP calls: “one of the deadliest places in the country of its kind.” California’s Altamont Pass wind farms “kill more than 60 per year”—making it the “industry’s deadliest location.”

Yet, “so far, the companies operating industrial-sized turbines here and elsewhere that are killing eagles and other protected birds have yet to be fined or prosecuted—even though every death is a criminal violation. The Obama administration has charged oil companies for drowning birds in their waste pits, and power companies for electrocuting birds on power lines. But the administration has never fined or prosecuted a wind-energy company, even those that flout the law repeatedly.” [...]

Propping up green energy

We see similar favoritism across the bigger energy spectrum. Despite President Obama’s frequent touting of increased domestic oil and gas production, “federal government policies are suppressing development,” says Kathleen Sgamma, Vice-President of Government and Public Affairs for the Western Energy Alliance (WEA). “Unfortunately, the federal government is standing in the way of increasing production of valuable energy resources that could spur further job creation, economic growth, and energy security.” To support her comments, the WEA press release offers the following numbers: “From FY2008 to FY2011 the Bureau of Land Management offered 81% less acreage, which has resulted in a 44% drop in leasing revenue, down from $356 million to $201 million. Nationwide, royalty and leasing revenue have declined 12% from $4.2 billion to $3.7 billion.” Meanwhile production and revenue on private lands increased.

Additionally, despite numerous reports regarding the positive economic impacts and environmental safety of the Keystone pipeline it has been continuously delayed—now for more than 1700 days. On Thursday, the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee passed a bill that, according to theWSJ, “effectively pushes through approval of the 875-mile pipeline by eliminating the need for Mr. Obama to issue a special permit for it.” Transportation committee chair Rep. Bill Shuster said: “After more than four years of bureaucratic delays, this bill will finally allow construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. This project has been studied more than any other project of its kind.”

While federal policies are suppressing traditional energy that is effective, efficient and economical, they are propping up projects that have been repeatedly found to be failures—but that benefit Democratic donors.

As you can imagine, these scandals are not the big headline makers like messing with the AP. I would argue though, in a country that has the worst employment situation in the last 40+ years, they are at least as important.

The skewing of information publicly has obvious impact on the decision-making process, especially for the public-there’s no reason we should have to commission our own research when it’s already be done. But getting it out of the government costing more in fees than the research is worth is just stupid, especially when the cronies can get it for free.

It’s always amazing how the environmental lobby shuts up when one of its pet projects impacts another, isn’t it? Either the eagles are endangered or they’re not. If the are, the windmills owners and operators need to be prosecuted, like anybody else would be. Or they’re not, in which case they need to be removed from the endangered species act. When these stories come up, it always amazes me how twisted these laws have become since they were proposed by hunters (yes, they were) to make sure there would always be game. And further the energy generated by windmills is of very marginal utility anyway, it can’t be used (almost ever) for base power because the wind is just too undependable.

I don’t have much to add to this, “Unfortunately, the federal government is standing in the way of increasing production of valuable energy resources that could spur further job creation, economic growth, and energy security.” except that the last time I gassed up, I paid $4.09 a gallon, and America only works well with cheap energy.

Still another bad week coming for Obama’s anti-American agenda

FUBAR or Turbulent Priests

[Carl over at The Hump Day Report is doing an incredible job of keeping up with this mess(link below the fold) much of this is based on his work.]

Well, this is getting very strange as we watch the administration’s wheels come off, it was only a couple of days ago, I was trying to fit in a video of Dennis Kucinich, the very liberal (but honest) Ohio former congressman, talking badly about Obama-now I see little point, in another day or so, i can probably quote Dirty Harry (Reid, that is).

What the most important?

I think in real terms Benghazi, simply because breaking faith with Americans thereby causing their  deaths when you could have arguably done something and then running off for a fundraiser, says really bad things about you.

The one that will give this staying power is probably the AP phone logs because it will help keep it in the press.

The one that will work with the population is the IRS. Is their anybody, anybody, who isn’t afraid of special attention from the IRS? that’ll even get the attention of low information voters.

I see that the acting commissioner of the IRS got fired today. Big whoop. In a few week he was going to time out. And I suspect that it’s going to be very difficult to get anybody confirmed by the Senate for a while, let alone an IRS Commissioner. I doubt St. Matthew could be confirmed right now.

Bookworm did the work on the title comparison. here’s bit of it. Link here.

 I’m willing to bet you never thought of Obama in connection with Henry II (1133-1189).  Henry was the lusty, rowdy, all-conquering (at least initially) 12th century English king who married Eleanor of Aquitaine, the richest, most beautiful woman in Europe; ruled large sections of France; fathered sons who went off on crusades and set put a signature to the first “rights” document ever written; and generally set the stage for England’s prominent role on the world stage for so many centuries.

Obama is the exact opposite — not lusty, not rowdy, terrified of conquest, married to a woman whose primary claim to beauty is her arms, etc.  And yet, there’s a thread that binds them.  I thought of it when I read about the defense Obama-ites are offering when it comes to the really horrible scandal about the IRS targeting conservative groups and Jewish groups, essentially disabling them during Obama’s first term and, especially, in the lead-up to the election.

According to Obama’s defenders, even if one concedes that what the IRS did was a bad thing, Obama shouldn’t be touched by the scandal.  It was not Barack’s fault.  Leave Barack alone!!  The IRS’s version of events is that  “low level” employees committed these tyrannical acts.  The New York Times goes so far as to blame the whole thing on the GOP (and certainly wins the George Orwell “1984″ Reporting Award for doing so).  Message:  this is not Obama’s fault.  Barack Obama himself has gone on record as being surprised and dismayed.

I’m with her on this one. We’re never going to find a directive to the IRS to harass the TEA Party specifically, and conservatives in general signed by Obama. I don’t think he’s Mensa qualified but he ain’t that stupid, and if he was Valerie Jarrett isn’t. But “Who will free me from this turbulent priest always works” in this type of situation with people who have no moral sense, which describes about 98% of this administration.

The way we need to present this is part of Bookworm’s triple play. The Fr. Martin Niemöller part, where she talks about the famous poem, You know:

“First they came for the communists but I wasn’t a communist…”

Yeah, that poem. Make it: First they came for the TEA Party, but I wasn’t a TEA partier, then they came for the….and so on.

What were doing is showing how it undermines the rule of law, and then of course, we highlight again that the IRS is scheduled to be in charge of Obamacare.

If we do it right-it’s a twofer, we help show how Obama is undermining American principle, and we increase (Still further !!) the dislike of Obamacare, and the Libruls.

The third part is how we got Al Capone (Chicago again) on a mostly unrelated charge (income tax evasion in his case) it’s a reminder that a lot of things are illegal, even if you’re the President or the Attorney General.

Does anybody believe without a piece of paper that Holder recused himself (but can’t remember when) from the AP mess? Yeah, me either. Keep digging.

There’s a lot of reputable people saying that the intimidation and political favors went far beyond the IRS by the way. Most mentioned are The Department of Agriculture, EPA, FCC, SEC, and, of course, others. Some may not be true, but I would nearly bet some are, from what I’ve seen being done.

Benghazi seems to be simmering for the moment but nobody who cares about our people has forgotten the dishonor rendered, so it will return.

Here’s the link to the article in The Hump Day Report So Far, So Bad.

Speaker Boehner is not especially amused.

Update: before I can even get this scheduled

HDR is reporting that the Department of Justice may have found some more hot water, this needs more checking, I think, but here:

Oh  My… Breaking: Holder Justice Department Also Tapped House of Representatives Cloak Room

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 15, 2013, 9:13 PM
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) went on the Hugh Hewitt Show tonight and dropped this bombshell. The Holder-Obama Justice Department tapped the House of Representatives Cloak Room.

They tapped the cloak room, too.

Via the Hugh Hewitt website, via The Green Room

FUBAR, I think

Bookworm Room » The President’s speech to Planned Parenthood reminds us how dishonest the abortion debate is on the Left

I wanted to talk a bit about Obama‘s speech to Planned Parenthood but, it sounded a bit too much like a broken record. I mean you all know my (strongly held) feelings on abortion, not to mention my opinion of this President. But still, sometimes silence is taken for acquiescence, and I certainly don’t. This showed up yesterday from The Bookworm Room. I don’t agree with her on abortion, although it’s more a matter of degree, for me the life of the mother is the only possible exception but, her opinion is far better than where we are, and in truth acceptable to me in law (as opposed to morality).

That’s all very well, and she doesn’t need me to publicize her blog. I’m running this because while we come out at slightly different conclusions, we started in similar places. She does a really exceptional job of explaining why the changes in society, make the availability of abortions of far less importance than they were in the 1950s. It is an a fascinating article.

And one point she makes with which I heartily concur: “How is it preferable to end up in Gosnell’s House of Horrors, rather than the apocryphal back alley” looks like the same thing to me. Here’s Bookworm…

Lately, abortion has been in the news.  It never gets far out of the news, but it intruded with extra force these past two weeks for two reasons.  The first was the story about the media’s decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell trial because it didn’t fit into the abortion narrative.  The narrative is that abortion should be “safe, rare, and legal.”  The Gosnell reality was that women died in his filthy clinic, that living babies got murdered (with the psychopathic Gosnell collecting hands and feet as trophies), and that the abortions were illegal under any standards, since they were so late term as to constitute murder under Pennsylvania law.  Because Gosnell interrupted the narrative (“we have achieved safe, rare, and legal, and now we must fight zealously to keep it”), what may be the most sensational mass murder trial in American history went unreported.

The other “abortion in the news” moment was Obama’s slobbering love letter to Planned Parenthood, when he spoke at their big hoo-ha.  If you doubt that it was a love letter, you need only listen to the very last few seconds of his speech:

As long as we’ve got to fight to make sure women have access to quality, affordable health care, and as long as we’ve got to fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own choices about her own health, I want you to know that you’ve also got a president who’s going to be right there with you, fighting every step of the way.  Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you.

Yuck.  I’ve been slimed.

That was Obama’s emotional shtick.  In light of the Gosnell affair, it was a grossly misleading emotional shtick because it’s clear that, when women’s “health care” (i.e., abortion) is not delivered into a quality way, neither Obama nor abortion’s cheerleaders will be there for those women.

But there was something else Obama said that was equally dishonest, and that was his insistence that those who oppose abortion on demand want to return the world to the 1950s:

So the fact is, after decades of progress, there are still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century.  And they’ve been involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women’s health.

There’s a very subtle dishonesty at work here.  What Obama fails to acknowledge is that the social dynamics of our world are so entirely different from those in the 1950s that, even if abortion was outlawed entirely, significant economic and social pressures that women faced in the 50s are virtually nonexistent now.  In the 1950s, women had abortions to escape social stigma (“she’s a slut”) and economic collapse (minimal safety net).  The social stigma was an especially powerful force.  Women were branded and disowned.

I wrote about this false comparison to the 1950s once before, and think it’s worthwhile to reprint that post in its entirety here, simply because the Gosnell trial and Obama Planned Parenthood speech make it very relevant to today’s debate (or avoidance of debate).  So, from January 11, 2010, The need for an honest, 21st century debate aboutabortion:

I dreamed last night about the first ultrasound I had when I was pregnant with my daughter.  I was sixteen weeks pregnant, and had been throwing up non-stop for 15 1/2 of those sixteen weeks.  I was not happy.  I resented the parasite within me.  And then I saw the sonogram image and discovered that the parasite had a little round head, two arms and two legs, and an incredible spinal cord that looked like the most exquisite string of pearls.  That image did not instantly reconcile me to the next 26 weeks of non-stop vomiting, but it made me aware that “the fetus” is not simply an aggregation of cells, or a thing indistinguishable from a dog or a chicken fetus.  It’s a baby.

Can the Right win?

Whether you call it Republicanism or Conservatism, the creed which holds that there are limits to what the State should do, how much of our income it should consume, and how much it should control us, is one which finds itself on the defensive in both the US and Europe.

As those who hold this creed are usually pragmatists, it behoves us to admit that there are reasons why this is so, and to be honest about them.  There is much in our creed which is not attractive to children. It requires us to take responsibility for our actions; it requires us to work hard; and it requires from us a sense of responsibility to those outside our immediate family. One of the most pernicious lies told by the Left is that the Right lacks compassion  It is because we have compassion that we do not think it can be subcontracted to the State and its organs; it has to be delivered by people to other people, and, many of us would hold, its impulse lies deep in the Judeo-Christian ethic that as we are all made in God’s image, we owe a duty each to the other

Now contrast this with the Creed of the Left. That says you can do whatever you like and Daddy (the State) will make it all right if it goes wrong; it says you shouldn’t worry your little head about morality, as that is just made up stuff by the oldies who want to control you.  If you are a girl and want to marry a girl, fine, and if you want a baby, why someone else will pay for the IVF. You can have a fine old time and Daddy (the State) will pick up the tab; what’s not to like?

License is always going to look more attractive than responsibility. Own up here guys – how many of you presented with the chance to spend an evening with a stunning blonde with movie-star looks, or one of us more homely types would opt, instinctively, for us?  But then, when it comes to thinking about home, family, the long term and what makes for real happiness, how many of you would choose the Hollywood blonde then?  It is the same with the Creeds of the Left and the Right; the former is fine for a fling, but you wouldn’t want to come home to it every evening.

Our modern society may be technologically whizzy, but that does not give it any insight into how we should live, move, and have our being. There’s no sign that it is developing the sort of jobs and social infrastructure which will support a stable society. There’s every sign that as the bill for the night before comes in, Daddy’s pocket-book isn’t big enough. Any society in which the rich get richer and the poor, poorer, is going to be unstable. Any society which lacks the values of compassion and responsibility is going to be a nasty one.

The USA has something which we, in Europe, have forgotten and neglected. It has that sense of being a set of communities with a destiny. That makes it harder for Statists to preach their message and to implement it – however attractive to those who believe in a free lunch. But what the political Right lacks is a figure to give voice to those values and that message.

Whether you like or loath President Obama, he’s a good actor and gets the message across. What our side needs is someone who can do the same. Let us hope one emerges.

Wednesday Miscellany

One of my Aussie blogfriends, Laura at Getting into Holy Water  wrote a little bit about our inauguration the other day. It was a light piece that I enjoyed. You should as well, it’s here. I was in a bit of a mood anyway and Obama‘s reelection surely wasn’t helping it, and so I commented

NEOJanuary 23, 2013 at 2:02 am Reply

I understand, and you’re welcome.

Now we have to return to the destruction of western civilization, should take about 4 more years.

Enjoy the show.

  LauraJanuary 23, 2013 at 1:54 pm Reply

  Oh Neo, you know I don’t think the destruction of Western Civilisation is a “show”. I understand and even share your concerns but I think you are a little too keen to equate an American political election with the fate of Western Civilisation. It’s not falling because of Obama won and it wouldn’t stop if Romney had won. Anyway, just my thoughts! 

  And remember, I’m a Monarchist from the Colonies so I’m all about the show 

Well, she’s right, I knew what she meant and I rained on her parade to no purpose whatsoever.

But, she made me think. We Americans are sometimes to be a bit too taken with our importance, the whole City on the Hill thing, that we have to lead being the guarantors of western civilization. We’re very powerful, and what we think is important all over the world but, maybe we need to lighten up sometimes and laugh at ourselves. When I was young the guys that trained me (my word, they were 20 years younger than I am, time surely does fly) were almost all World War II veterans and they had a saying, it went like this,

The world’s been going to hell in a handbasket since Christ was a corporal.

They were right, us old timers have always believed it was better when we were young, so maybe we need to lighten up a bit, fight the battle and move on to the next. If we do our duty the best we can, we will have little to be ashamed of.

She’s also right that Romney wouldn’t have made all that much difference, we need someone who is not ashamed of making himself a success or our system. Kind of like that Bill Whittle video I ran a while back. Here. And let’s try to enjoy the show as well.

One thing I’ve noticed lately is that the army has started wearing their blue uniforms a lot. I’m glad, they recall the time when the American army came of age, around the Civil War, and the color of the American Army has been blue as long as there has been an America. They’re also, I think, quite attractive, not quite as good as the ‘pinks and greens’ of World War 2 but better than anything since.

I noticed yesterday that there are reports all over the blogosphere that the Regime is asking generals if they’ll order American troops to fire on American civilians. It’s a stupid question for a few reasons.

• First, what the generals say is not going to matter much, anything like a revolt is going to sink or swim in the beginning, at least, as a small unit action, it’s going to be up to at most a colonel.
• Second, it’ll depend on the tactical situation and how threatened the troops feel. and
• Third, the army knows perfectly well that if they do without really good cause, they’ll throw away the confidence they’ve built over 230 years of history, so they’ll think long and hard.

Personally, I wouldn’t worry about it, I doubt it’ll come to that point.

Cranmer, the other day ran a very good post, here, on Dr. King, Lincoln, Obama, and America. an excerpt

[...]

Nobody can seriously read of the man and consider his words without appreciating that Lincoln was a sincere and life-long Abolitionist. He perhaps put it best in homespun wisdom rather than public oratory. “Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.”

His first and primary loyalty was however to the Republican form of Government and the Constitution adopted only 23 years before his birth.

Few of those seeing Spielberg’s film will have the historical knowledge and perspective to appreciate how novel and fragile the idea of democracy was in the middle of the 19th Century. The French Revolution had collapsed back into Empire and the only other democratic republic was Switzerland. The idea of fracturing and weakening the noble American experiment in democracy was anathema to Lincoln. It is perhaps sensible to regard him as an idealistic pragmatist.

In 1860, writing to the future Vice President of the Confederacy, Alexander Stephen, Lincoln assured him: “Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause for such fears.” [...]

And that’s what on my mind this Wednesday morning, have a good day!

Forty More Years | And A Victory

Official photographic portrait of US President Barack Obama (born 4 August 1961; assumed office 20 January 2009) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

We start today the second term of the Regime, whatever we think, that’s what America, perhaps aided a bit by vote fraud, decided. I suspect we’ll muddle through, as long as we pay attention. The country would be far better off if we were inaugurating Mitt Romney but, it is what it is.

The thing is folks, Obama just found out last week, that he can’t do anything he wants. If you look closely, he suffered a pretty good defeat on gun control. His executive orders, while certainly pernicious, were far from as bad as I expected. Why? He blinked. He looked around and saw a plurality of Americans ready to say no, with their lives.

The 2d Amendment came to life, in its most basic form. When even the NRA openly acknowledges that the amendment isn’t about hunting but tyranny, and most of the right in America goes to condition one and serious people start writing about Armegeddon…. Well, he decided that whatever he said, he didn’t want to go there, for now anyway. We all like the Marines and their motto Semper Fidelis but for the next four years the Coast Guards’ Semper Paratus (Always Prepared) is critical.

I mean, well you tell me, an executive order to appoint a new head of ATF. Well, I’m surely glad the president has an order from the president to do the president’s job. It was window dressing. What few real proposals it contained there will not pass, as they shouldn’t, it looked good for the press and the left (yes, redundant).

That doesn’t mean he’s not going to hurt the country in the next four years, he is. 2014 and 2016 are very important, and we need something other than the same old, same old. We need people who can recognize the truth and are not afraid of it. Most of all we need people who are not career politicians.

I told you last week how much I love Ooobie on Everything, here’s her take on what the next four years are going to be like. I was going to write it but why, when I think the same and she wrote it better than I could. Here’s Ooobie

 

Soon half of the United States crowns its new Emperor, naked though he might appear to the other half of the country. As this psychotically narcissistic man with his alien philosophy takes what used to be a sacred oath and mocks it, we hold no illusions about the struggle that is coming. Freedom may still be our byword, but it isn’t that of Mr. President, who is not even bothering to pretend anymore. He still lies about almost everything, but he isn’t pretending about who he is or where he wants to take us.  Anybody in America who does not now see his true face is a fool.

A few predictions of coming events that no doubt coincide exactly with those of a million other bloggers, but God bless each and every one of you.  I think that Obama and his henchmen in the next four years will try the following, among many other nefarious actions as yet undreamt of:

Create an Apparat and hire all the little apparatchiki: This is the famous “let’s just use that campaign structure to flatten any opposition to our will” strategy that is already underway. In the next four years, we will see the institutionalizing of the Obama campaign machine as a permanent State and Party apparatus, with presence all the way down to the city blocks. The machine will expand to cover the entire country, even your red neighborhoods where the schools (see education) will be turning out left-wing machine cogs by the thousands.  Reinforcing the machine will require hiring lots and lots of the “little people” who are so dependent on the State (and Party). These committees will agitate for Obama edicts and exert pressure (also known as intimidation) on the non-conformists. They will be the Mafia of the modern age.

Pull together a Party army under the guise of something else: We will see a re-surfacing of Obama’s dream of starting his own personal army with something that might be like the Civilian Conservation Corps — little earth-colored Brown Shirts, maybe with Green Berets, who have to learn to shoot to keep the bears away, not to mention the snakes.
