The vote from the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to put Obama’s Syrian resolution before the full Senate is essentially meaningless.    The subsequent vote amid the full Senate to support such a resolution is more politically valuable, but not terribly much.
The vote that counts, to authorize President Obama to use our military and attack Syria, will only come from the House of Representatives – The ‘People’s House’.

With that in mind a couple of recent tracking polls, ABC and Think Progress, are in alignment: (more…)

About McDonald’s, $15/hour wages and much more, BigFur shares:

Nothing is a distraction. It’s all part of being fundamentally  transformed. The punches are being thrown in a windmill fashion, and some may  hurt more than others, but it’s the same assault.

I don’t buy the notion that any single issue that burns our ass hairs is a  distraction. That’s actually an insulting elitist charge. It implies that  “you don’t know what’s really going on but I do.”

The people who read  political blogs know what’s going on. The people who don’t don’t care and/or  are Obama voters. Our job is to get them to care.

The “one big picture”  story that the “clued in people know what’s what” posted over, and over, and over  again, is fruitless.

You capture the hearts and minds of people over time when you show them lots  of examples of our destructive march leftward. You never know what’s going to  resonate with the otherwise disinterested. It might be a story about how PETA  is actually more cruel to animals than they let on.

Society, for those beyond their 3rd decade, is visibly shifting.   For the others it’s less identifiable.
The water is warm, very warm, and the sensible frogs know what lies ahead.   The sensible frogs can detect the subtle variance in the slow increase of water temperature.
This shift is a natural, and historically proven outcome, from progressive advancement.  It has existed for as long as man has associated for common aggregation – it continues today.
Nothing about this is new or uncharted territory.
This place, where we are today, has been visited by societies long before the U.S. Republic was formed.
Such is the manner and purpose for our sharing the constructs of safety.    The news articles you sense, and see us highlight, have little to do with the victim or the suspect; nor their intents and purposes.
No, these news articles are shared to advise the acceptance, and stimulate the understanding, that no person should be naïve as to consider themselves beyond the capacity of their family to be the next 3rd page mention. (more…)

…. the aspect no-one in politics really want to talk about.

Less freedom < 0 ——————— 10 ——————— 20 > More Freedom

Communism < 0 ————  Democracy   ———— 20 > Anarchy

To say this video is alarming or chilling is a profound understatement. At 1:30am a family was awakened by police pounding on their front door. The police were told by the homeowner they did not have permission to enter, the police did not have a search warrant. The police would not state the reason they were there. I will leave the rest to the published media reports – but you must watch the video.

When Sargent Magee was asked by a family friend why this happened he responded “we did this because they made a scene filming us.”  (link)

From Huffington Post – A chilling video that shows police officers storming a home in Georgia and threatening to stun-gun, beat, and even “cane” the residents is gaining attention for its stark portrayal of what its creators say is police brutality.
According to Natania Griffin, several DeKalb County police officers came to arrest her on July 26 at 1:30 a.m., over a $1,000 civil fine that was 15 days late. She described the ensuing raid on her home as “sheer terror.”

A 19-minute cell phone video taken by Griffin’s 23-year-old son, Donovan Hall, during the chaos first shows police officers banging on the family’s front door, while screaming the address of a different house. (more…)

Yes, in the swirling unconstitutional advancing Cultural Marxism that now rots the very fabric of our once free republic, It Has Come To This.
(KMOV) – A Metro East storefront is now at the center of a federal lawsuit after city officials told the owner a posted sign was illegal.
The owner of Pour Haus is suing the City of Belleville after officials told her to take down a sign that sarcastically thanks the city for turning down the her request for tax breaks to start up a sandwich shop.
“You’re allowed to put political statements anywhere you want and this is my business. It’s inside, it follows the sign ordinance, and therefore I’m not breaking any laws. You cannot stomp all over the constitution; Belleville or anybody else,” Dianne Rogge, the owner of Pour Haus, said. (more…)

Looks like 2J’s is climbing back aboard the race-baiting express.   The comparison to former Alabama Governor, George Wallace, had to come with full DOJ/Eric Holder approval.   Vivian Malone-Jones (the young black lady who was the center of the George Wallace issue) is Eric Holder’s sister-in-law.
The entire fiasco set up in Tallahassee Florida is race-baiting ridiculous in the extreme.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday demanded an apology from longtime civil rights activist Jesse Jackson for comparing the state’s struggle with the Trayvon Martin case to the civil rights clashes with police during the 1960s in Selma, Ala.

Jackson spent the night with protesters upset that George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin. They’ve refused to leave the Capitol until Scott calls a special session to have legislators overhaul the state’s self-defense laws.
Jackson called Florida the “Selma of our time” and even compared Scott to former Alabama Gov. George Wallace. While he was governor, Wallace famously stood in the door at the University of Alabama to try to block the entry of two black students. (more…)

Cultural Marxism / Political Correctness – is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

The Conservative Tree House (aka. The Last Refuge) is the diametric opposite to this definition. The absence of agenda is, in essence, the similarity behind our association.
Any form of “Cultural Marxism” is antithetical to freedom because it belies the entire concept of openness, truthfulness and honesty – especially brutal honesty.
Progs, and liberals, democrats, fabian-socialists, and to a lesser extent other political interests, but for the sake of exhaustive definition “progs”, are hell-bent on controlling the optical narrative of all things according to an agenda they define.  There are several schools of thought that have historically been the leaders in promoting the fabian-socialism outlook – The Frankfurt School, the Birmingham School, but one of the most influential Marxists who focused on cultural, rather than economic, thought was the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci

We are now a few generations away from a comprehensive understanding of “Central Planning”. But once again, as has always been the case with Socialist, Communist, Community Progressives, Fabians, Progs, and “it takes a villagers”, all things that fail must be tried again and again, as they have the better implementation strategy.

As our current President said numerous times, “Fundamental Transformation”. Yet, the masses of sheeple had no recognizable grasp on exactly what was implied behind that oft repeated statement. Well, here is another chin to hairline cow lick to bring forth a better understanding. President Obama’s Administration Will Begin To Map Every Neighborhood In America By Race To “Eliminate Segregation”:

(CNSNews.com) – To ensure that “every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of,” HUD has published a new fair-housing regulation intended to give people access to better neighborhoods than the ones they currently live in. (more…)

So, they [the progs] did not get their outcome and now once again, another set of demanded conversations needs to be had. Same conversational demand, same people demanding, same avoidance rules from the demanders… And so it goes…

WATCH THE CROWD FOLKS – Another Manufactured Crisis; Another eleventy bites at the grievance apple; Another set of the same crews formed and reformulated under the same tent as the last;  Each sub-sect with their own specialty within the BGI agenda to drive the sheeple.
Shiny things dropped over here, shiny things dropped over there. Soapboxes from the sky.

Look, OVER HERE, mine has more sparkles.  All trying desperately to get them to pivot in their chosen direction. Black people are not stupid, but you would never know that if you just looked at the way the progressive left uses them. Look, HERE, Obama phones. Walking….. walking….. Door prizes.   You’ve been wronged, we swear…. follow me folks. (more…)
