Notes on stuff that happened in September, 2013.

(The Swamp) --

LIES OUR PRESIDENT TOLD

(September 29, 2013) Forgetting that a DEMOCRAT Speaker, Tip O'Neil, shut down the government many times, the President made a speech on Friday that made it sound as if the government shutting down was going to be horrible. The same untruths were expressed by Democrats in the House, Saturday night. He didn't allow questions, and frankly, the dummies sitting in the seats are so ignorant, they probably didn't know the questions to ask, were they given the chance.

  • LIE #1 - THE MILITARY WILL NOT BE PAID.
    The PRESIDENT decides which part of the defense budget gets money. He could decide, instead, not to let contracts for port-a-potties for his military speeches, just yet, and pay all the salaries to our service people. The House has also passed resolutions which, if the Senate passes them, would insure the military & SS would be paid even if there were a shutdown.

  • LIE #2 - THE REPUBLICANS WILL KEEP US FROM PAYING OUR BILLS.
    We are bringing in enough tax money to pay all of our debt service. What we WOULDN'T have enough money for are bogus programs and any NEW purchases. They could close up shop for up to half a year before we would need an increase in credit. Which leaves us asking why are we letting them spend so much.

  • LIE #3 - SS AND MEDICARE WILL BE HURT BY THE REPUBLICANS.
    Rubbish. See #1. It's the President's decision. If the payments get cut, it will be HIS fault.

  • LIE #4 - SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IS BAD.
    Every time it's happened - the country thrived. The stock market may get hurt, but if you're in that phony bubble, you're just stupid, anyway.

I wish you all could have heard the Democrats in the House, repeating like robots the President's words as if they were their own. They actually said, as they refused to negotiate that Republicans were refusing to negotiate. It was one of the best examples of psychotic transference I have personally ever seen. One Georgia Democrat even called Republicans "racists for not loving Obamacare." Every single Democrat tried to say that it was the republicans who were shutting down the government. The only things missing were the men in the white coats and the nets.

So, to repeat a talking point, our President and his lap dogs choose to lie to America and negotiate with a known terrorist nation - Iran. At the same time, he refuses to negotiate with the elected representatives of the American People, calling them terrorists. Shut down the government, MR. PRESIDENT, if you will. We can take it.
 

FESTEGGIAMO! SIAMO TUTTI FASCISTI, ORA!

(September 28, 2013) Now that Lindsey Graham has joined with the Democrats to allow them to put Obamacare BACK into the continuing resolution, there is no longer any doubt that he owes something to the power that runs Washington, and NOTHING to the people of South Carolina. It's as if he WANTS America to be an economically fascist state. Just as Sen. Ted Cruz predicted, the Senate RINOs are only interested in discussing and participating in failure. But however you slice it, this is pure Lindsey Graham - say one thing and do the opposite. It is now obvious that he is appealing directly to Democrat voters in the Corridor of Shame who always vote for "Free" stuff.

Nationally, the latest lie in the push to rationalize Obamacare is - that the RATE of insurance inflation is at a 50 year low. Well, SURE! NOW! But last month's increases pushed the rate of insurance inflation to 85% over the past two years!!! He repeated the lie on Friday. But if you start calculating the rate of inflation from the beginning of September, he would be correct. Fortunately most people, except national reporters, have better memories.

Just before the President told that lie to unsuspecting college tools, on Thursday, he told them a whopper - that the monthly prices for his government horror are 15 to 20% lower than expected. Really? By whom? For Whom? Why, HIS government, of course. And, in a way, Obama can say it's true, because, as with the other lie, the inflated insurance rates have already occurred and have increased as much as 300% in extreme cases and 30% to 75% in MOST cases. Some VERY POOR people, however, will benefit, while the rest of us, especially young people, get raped.


1930's Italy - Fascism made sure the poor stayed poor and big businesses rich.

But the President isn't the only person lying his butt off, he has insurance company executives, who were formerly in HIS administration (or Clinton's), out on the hustings, saying the same things. Of course insurance companies are repeating the lies. The government, in a perfect example of 1930's economic fascism, has carved out areas of influence for their favorite insurance companies, guaranteeing there will be no competition, and in effect, creating a monopoly.

Fascism LOVES government-controlled monopolies. Hospital systems, insurance companies, green energy companies, and so on - ALL BIG BUSINESSES CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT - profit in the extreme from their incestuous relationship. Meanwhile, small businesses either wither or are prohibited from starting up due to GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.

It is no wonder that the National Chamber of Commerce - which represents Big Business, AARP - which is nothing more than a premiums generating insurance company, every Democrat - who has sold his soul to Obama's false ideas, are so positive about Obama and his fascist government. And it is no wonder that small businesses are suffering, terribly. Remember, he said he wanted to fundamentally change America. He's doing it. The greatest nation in the history of the world is turning into 1930's Italy.
 

SMART INVESTORS HAVE ALREADY HEADED FOR THE BUSHES

(September 26, 2013) On a day, when Democrats fancied themselves winning the Obamacare debate - in their own minds - you would think the market would take off. Not happening. Nobody's buying the phony employment numbers or the GDP numbers.. they know those numbers will be revised.. probably downward.


Look, Ma! No volume!

The only thing that seems to be happening is that the taxpayers money is being given to private companies by the Fed so they can "buy the market up" (buying stocks which forces the market toward an upward momentum.).
 

TELEGRAPHING THE MESSAGE

(September 26, 2013) This picture is worth 2,000 words.


2,000 Words
 

WHERE WAS LINDSEY?

(September 25, 2013) Ted Cruz is amazing. His time-limited filibuster put many RINOs to shame - and I believe they will be replaced, now.

However, I am asking myself where Lindsey Graham was. Cruz had help from Lee, Sessions, Paul, Rubio, Vitter, and Inhofe. And of course, he had no help from Graham as he spoke truth to power. But where was South Carolina's senior senator? He SAID, "Obamcare sucks."

Maybe I missed it. I'll admit, I had a laughing fit when I heard the report that Obama said the world is safer now than five years ago. I could have blacked out from hypoxic syncope. But I was conscious the rest of the night, watching C-SPAN2, and I didn't see him.
 

CONSERVATIVES SAY GOODBYE TO ROVE, MCCONNELL.

(September 24, 2013) If I hadn't heard it from a reliable source, I wouldn't have believed it. Conservative Sen. Mitch McConnell has been threatened by Karl Rove, and a host of Republican elites and is subsequently talking against Ted Cruz's Obamacare defunding plan. The cocktail Republicans are threatening McConnell with taking away his campaign financial sources.

This is why the founders of America warned against professional politicians. In the end, power corrupts, except for the exceptional. It is fully apparent, now that Sen. McConnell is not exceptional. So sad.

There is only one solution at this point. The RINOS must go. That includes Rove and his BAD IDEAS.
 

WHY SYMBOLISM IS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW

(September 23, 2013) The Democrats have known for years that symbolism to the masses is more effective than logic. For this reason, alone, every Republican Senator should vote for the House budget which kills Obamacare. At the same time, Republicans should spend BIG BUCKS on TV and Radio commercials EMBARRASSING the Democrats who are running for re-election. The people of America need to support the Republican effort with money and emails to Democrats.


John Kerry's testimony before Congress was a complete failure. But
the symbolism wasn't lost on those who were inspired by it to help
bring about the end of the Vietnamese War. Are Republicans not supposed
to act symbolically?

Even Brit Hume has been sold the RINO manure parade. BRIT HUME! Even if it is RAGNAROK, I say, "Let it happen!" The people MUST understand the symbolism which says Obamacare will destroy our healthcare. In 2014, because of the symbolism, now, people will be able to say, "Democrats have killed our mothers and grandmothers," and be able to prove it. Today's resistance in the Senate is a very important step in a real American revolution.

The President is not above closing down the government's automatic payments which would continue, even if the government is shut down - things like Social Security and VA payments - and telling the people it's the Republicans who are "shutting down the government." But patriots like Jim DeMint, Ted Cruz, and other friends of America, are also being shut down by the RINO elite, with the help of everyone who breathes cash from being a No. 2 party.

So, lay on, and keep the pressure up on your Senators to DEFUND Obamacare. South Carolina has only one and a half senators. From now, until election day in 2014, is the time to support the lovers of liberty with cash and time.
 

GLOBAL WARMING ON THIS FIRST DAY OF FALL

(September 22, 2013) This is going to be quick, because I have a lot on my plate this weekend. Joe D'Aleo of Weatherbell.com (along with the maps of Dr. Ryan Mauie) has developed an entire lecture on why Global warming is not even close to being science. See the entire article here. (If you are not already a member, you may have to join).

One of the major pieces of evidence is represented by this Sea Level chart which tracks sea level from the last maximum glacial period - about 22,000 years ago (20,000BC).


© & Courtesy Dr. Joe D'Aleo - Weatherbell.com

Note that the world sea level has leveled off, NOT risen. What this means is that the President and all of his fellow travelers in the AGW (Androgenic Global Warming) crowd have basically just been lying to you. There are more pieces of evidence of this kind in the article.

The other convincing piece of evidence against AGW is this:


© & Courtesy Dr. Joe D'Aleo - Weatherbell.com

If I were a betting person, I would guess that this chart is saying it's, relatively, as hot as it's going to get for the next 125,000 years! AND, that it's all part of a great series of cycles.. That is.. unless humans were driving Chevies a quarter of a million years ago. Now THAT is about as possible as human-caused global warming!

UPDATE: On the same day as the DC Naval Base shooting, an important climatologist from Australia was presenting his research on Global warming. Dr. David Archibald concluded that the effect of carbon dioxide on the climate is miniscule and that the heat and cold are being driven by the Sun. He even predicted that we will now see two weeks cut off from the growing season as early as this year. Download his 61 slide presentation here.
 

DID YOU REMEMBER TO?

(September 20, 2013) Well?


Robert Newton as Long John Silver
 

MR. PRESIDENT: WE DON'T WANT YOUR FRIGGIN' HEALTH BILL!

(September 19, 2013) Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It's "Talk Like a Pirate Day," and as far as most sensible people understand, Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama want to rob you of your money, your sanity, and your life - just like a pirate.

The morons in the Democrat party have run up the debt and want to spend more money. The worst of these is the laughably called "Affordable Care Act." They want you to be poor. Democrats want you to go crazy. And most importantly, they want you to die, so that they will be left alone to completely ruin this country.

Because of their actions, not just their words, is it obvious that the President and Harry Reid HATE the United States of America. They hate the constitution. And they hate honesty, responsibility, and and self-reliance. They Love dependency, racism, and equality of outcome and they will not change.

The time has come to challenge these weasels. Call your Democrat senator and threaten to oust him if he does not support the House's Continuing Resolution that kills Obamacare. Then back it up, if he or she doesn't. Do it NOW, or don't complain later when YOU get fired because your business cannot afford your health care.
 

OUR ADMINISTRATION'S THINKING IS PERVERTED

(September 17, 2013) Oddly, this editorial is NOT about Obamacare, although, if you don't call your Senator and Representative and tell him or her to DEFUND the most destructive act in the history of America, we will go broke as a nation. Nor is this about the phony stock market which will burst asunder as soon as the government quits propping it up with trillions of borrowed tax dollars. NO, this editorial is about the perversion of this administration and its running dogs in the Senate and the House, when it comes to firearms.

Once again, we have a loony who has gone on a killing rampage at a GUN FREE ZONE. Like colleges, high schools, grammar schools and kindergartens, public buildings, federal courthouses, county courthouses and city halls, military bases have been forced to de-arm. Gun Free Zones do not achieve what they purport to achieve. This, above all other truths, should be glaring evidence that the administration's ideas on gun carrying are completely bogus.


Military bases are shooting galleries just
like this naval base in DC on Monday.

Aaron Alexis
from Fort Worth, Texas

GUN FREE ZONES are SHOOTING RANGES. But from the inappropriate remarks from the President's PR flak and Sen. Diane Feinstein, one would have to conclude that both the President and the Senator were completely insane, having missed the obviousness of that fact. A Gun Free Zone is like hunting in a baited field; When you don't have anyone with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun, many people get killed.

It took seven minutes for the "First Responders" to get on the Naval base. Had the Navy allowed its military to carry, this guy would have been dead from the git-go. And the lack of this important policy must be laid, completely, at the feet of the President and those who support him. Missing these important facts speaks to the sanity of the President and his followers.

According to the DSM IV and DSM V, a person should be diagnosed as psychotic when he or she cannot distinguish fact from fantasy. Our President and his supporters cannot distinguish between fact and fantasy when it comes to so many issues that are crippling our nation. He and they should be diagnosed as Psychotics. Their thinking is perverse and they are in deep psychotic denial.

As an aside, the POS who murdered 12 people, did it with VP Biden's favorite weapon - a shotgun. How nuts is that? What do you have to say, Mr. Vice President? Are you crazy, too, or just stupid?

How long will it be that we will have to put up with these certifiable people who are running and ruining our great nation?
 

HOW GOVERNOR MOONBEAM WILL HELP STRENGTHEN THE 2nd AMENDMENT

(September 15, 2013) If you don't live in California, you might have missed the fact that a bill has been passed and is sitting on Jerry Brown's desk which will allow an illegal alien to obtain and use a valid California driver's license. He is actually considering signing the silly thing. Were he to do that, the law would set up one of the most interesting constitutional battles in the history of our democratic Federal Republic.


Not as big an exaggeration as you might think

When California makes legal a State license which has no guarantee that its user is a bona fide citizen, it becomes a specious instrument. That is, it can't be trusted as representing what it purports to represent. At that point, South Carolina would be well within its Constitutional rights to arrest any person using a California drivers license, for driving or identification purposes in South Carolina, on the grounds that since it cannot accurately identify the user, it cannot be used as a licensing document.

South Carolina licensure demands that identification be valid for legal residents, not merely "sufficient" licensure of the holder, although it is that, too, since a SC driver's license is also a legal form of identification. When a state allows identification for an unidentifiable person who is certifiably committing a crime against the state being requested to honor, that state does not have to honor that document.


Forced reciprocity? Maybe not.

California obviously has not adequately thought about the consequences of their actions, but they do this at their own peril. It is the exact same argument against one state honoring another state's Concealed Weapons Permit. In other words, if California wants SC to honor its driver's license, it would HAVE TO HONOR SC's CWP, which it does not, at this time, using the argument, above.

If it means that much to California to force SC to honor its patently bogus driver's license, then they would have to allow what they consider to be a bogus carry permit within their borders. Sauce for the gander, if you will.

But California would not dare do that. Their liberal constituency would vote them out. There is no doubt that California is the "Looney Tunes State." But at some point craziness creates its own logical buffers. After that point it's just arrogance.
 

SUCKERS CONTINUE BUYING INTO MARKET WHILE THE BIGWIGS CONTINUE TO SELL ON THE UPTICKS.

(September 14, 2013) If I really believed in the existence of zombies, I'd blame them for the stupidity propping up the market at this big-bubble level. This unrealistic economic situation WILL END. The government is involved in this ponzi scheme and many of my readers are going to get smeared.
 

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS

(September 12, 2013) No, it wasn't the President's dumb speech, although it was the most ironic and pathetically funny. No, it was the recall election in Colorado of two economic fascists in the disguise of mild-mannered Democrats. You can't get off pushing people around. Not about taxes and not about the 2nd Amendment. The TEA Party people did it COMPLETELY without the Republicans. This bodes well for ousting many Dems in the Senate and "comfortable" Republicans in both House AND Senate.

The other most important thing was the so-called 2 Million Biker Ride-Thru to remember 9/11 and to tweak the noses of the Muslims who wanted to desecrate the day in Washington. As this is being written, over 900,000 separate bikers have ridden through DC already and at least 120,000 bikers are left to go through - all without a parade license. Now that's not 2-million, but 1.1 million is not bad.


Bikers from all ages and all over ride in orderly lines into the heart of confusion - Washington, DC.

Police refused a parade license and but bikers, mostly veterans, managed to organize themselves to ride thru.

If I were the Administration, I would be very scared, right now. If I were a cocktail party Republican, I would be even more afraid than the Democrats. 2014 is looking to be a revolutionary election. And I say that in all humility. People actually feel they CAN do soomething about piss-poor politicians.
 

RUSSIA IS HUMILIATING THE UNITED STATES - EASY JOB, CONSIDERING..

(September 11, 2013) And the farce continues.. Russia as the PEACEMAKER?

Now we all get to guess why the UN meeting was called off? You KNOW the UN isn't going to do anything to piss off the Chinese or the Russkis or the US. So, somebody has put the word out to the UN. Watching the President's speech last night, you almost felt like it was is idea. All of it.


New York: 9/11/2001

Benghazi: 9/11/2012

Well, the Russians called for the meeting, so they're PROBABLY the one's who called it off. But it could just as easily be us, knowing what a confused bully, our President is. China may be the one who technically made the request, but if so, they did it for either us or the Russians.

Our President thinks the world is a village of people with good intentions. He also thinks he can bully his way to victory. He had a chance to do something 2 years ago. Now, he has NO options except bad ones. It is symbolic of his entire presidency.

One thing did occur to me, though; We should not equate the weakness of a President with the weakness of America. Presidents come and go, are weak and strong, but America cannot be weak unless we fundamentally change.

All of this President's clown behavior on the anniversary of Benghazi and 9/11/2001, shows just how weak he has tried to make us, since 2009. And WHAT are we doing??.. Using the United Nations? What the heck is the administration thinking? Now, the certainty of another terrorist attack has become more real - and maybe, just maybe, we will have to pay for it with our blood and sons and daughters, again, either here in America or over there. Yet, it will not be the weakness of America which causes some attack, but the weakness of Barack Hussein Obama.
 

THE HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE

(September 9, 2013) Say what you will about the Senate, they have a traditional role which is often ignored by their own body - advice and consent to the House of the People. Because of the rise of professional, lifetime politicians, the Senate has forgotten what it's role in the bicameral dance is. At times such as this, you would think they WERE the House of Representatives, which they, Constitutionally, are not.


The House of the People has been told what to do
about this wrong-headed Syrian action, by the People.

The House of the People is the House of Representatives. They control the budget. They control whether we go to war or not. And, because of this power, they have a special responsibility NOT to follow blindly either the Senate or the President. To be frank, the buck does not stop at the desk of the President, it stops as the desks of the Representatives.

Now we are about to engage in someone else's great civil war, not because of any real evidence, not because of any commanding American self interest, not because of any overriding side which represents the good side of the Force. ALL WE WOULD BE DOING IS SAVING THE POLITICAL BUTTS OF A WORTHLESS PRESIDENT AND A RUBBER STAMP SENATE.

We dont need to do that, and the House of the People have been told so, by the People whom they represent.
 

WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING..

(September 8, 2013) Recently, Wall Street Daily has confirmed that the U.S. government has NOT done a public audit of the gold in Fort Knox since 1974. Not even the President has asked to know what's in the vaults, since 2007. Worse, almost a billion dollars in gold has left JFK International Airport in New York since the year began, destined for South Africa - that's been confirmed by the U.S. Census Bureau's foreign trade division. It could be that the President knows that China has a better idea of where our gold has gone.


Without gold backing it, the Dollar is getting more than a little goofy.

Has the U.S. government been shipping gold to nations like China and Japan (as collateral for a weak dollar)? Rumors are rampant that Fort Knox does not have but a very small amount of gold left, if any. In case you didn't know, the gold in Fort Knox is what backs up the paper dollar. When that's gone, it's all over.

Worse, even if all the gold that was there in 1979 is still there, the actual current market price ought to be somewhere north of $6,700 an ounce, thanks to quantitative easing and other insane Keynesian banking tricks used by the current and previous administrations. Recognizing that the American dollar is in extreme jeopardy, and knowing that the American President has been outed as a liar, we have been given a real opportunity to be prepared for the coming problems.

Otherwise, if we continue to pretend there is nothing wrong, there will be no solution, and no pity shown to those who are not prepared.
 

FRANKLY, MY DEAR I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY

(September 7, 2013) There are NO Democrat women who can think and look this good:


Katie Pavlich
Brilliant independent thinker, commentator, and righteous babe.

Yeah, Dems have a few women who are pretty good thinkers. But not a one of them can collect her thoughts and expound on them while looking this good.
 

TIME TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK

(September 6, 2013) Yes, the stock market is causing you whiplash, the President lied to the world - again, intentionally lying employment numbers, worthless paper money, somebody in Syria is killing people with sarin gas - maybe all sides are, Obamacare, Benghazi, IRS, NSA are disasters, and everybody hates us. But who cares? We got Ylvis and their new official music video..


Ylvis Just click here

I don't know what "the fox says," but the breakout sounds exactly like the 1990 superhit, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory (pic left), sung by Martha Wash (Freedom Williams did the rap). One thing's for sure, though, SwampfoxNews will always try to say the truth.
 

NOW IT'S "FOR THE CHILDREN?"

(September 3, 2013) As SecState John Kerry stumbled through his Senate presentation on why we should drop some bombs on Syria, it became obvious that the President doesn't have a plan, and that he wants to wait until tomorrow, when the great curtain of "national security" will drop, to hide the fact.

What came out in this hearing is that there are three reasons:

  1. Dropping some bombs will send a strong message - what could we do, short of making Syria a glass lake, that would impress the billions of people who think we are feckless?
  2. It's for the children - Yes, children have died. But more children in America will die under Obamacare and its death panels, if implemented, than have died in Syria.
  3. We'll look bad if we don't - Well, at this point, most of the world already knows that most of America doesn't agree with Obama, so it's more like Obama will look bad, than the country in general.

Finally, Kerry just had to lie, saying that they KNEW EXACTLY how many rebels were Brotherhood and how many were not. When asked how many, under oath, he did not know. You would think that with such an important fact which could clear the air and prove the doubters wrong, that Kerry would have those numbers engraved on the back of his hand.

Sen. Rand Paul confronted Kerry and pointed out that trust is not something Obama's administration has garnered. He questioned whether they understood that the rebels included to a large extent, the Muslim Brotherhood. All Kerry had to rebut him with was bluster.

Now, if Obama's really serious about this, he can suggest killing Obamacare and using the funds to help get his mojo back.
 

OBAMA: "I'VE MET WITH REPUBLICANS" - MCCAIN & GRAHAM? SERIOUSLY?

(September 2, 2013) How afraid of South Carolina voters is Lindsey Graham? Pretty dang scared. He used his 15 minutes in front of the nation, today, to campaign.

McCain and Graham were the only Republicans meeting with Obama, Monday, and they were all on board Obama's "Let's make the honkeys look bad" campaign. They still don't understand they're just a couple of dupes. Obama just wants to make the Republicans own his screwups.

"It would be catastrophic" not to bomb Syria, says McCain. Graham says he's been wanting to do this for two years and that the President doesn't understand what's going on in Syria, which is true. BUT, IT'S ALREADY A CATASTROPHE, AND GRAHAM DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON EITHER - THAT IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE TWO YEARS AGO! Al-qaeda now controls the rebel movement


Lindsey campaigns in front of the White House

We already look weak and a few bombs are not going to change anything. Both of them SAY they know who the Syrian Rebels are. If that's true, then they know that half of them are al-Quaeda. Giving them weapons is ridiculous, but that's what McCain and Graham want to do! I got so upset, I wrote a poem about it.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

John McCain had no brain,
And Lindsey followed closely.
In POTUS' train they trailed in vain,
Producing mouses, mostly..

Graham says he's coming home to try to convince us he's right. Hope he does. He'll get a real ear-full. Of course, he won't be found anywhere he can actually hear anything but what he wants to hear.

Blow up some planes and missiles and everything will be just great. Right, that'll work..
