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…)

With everything going on lately we did not notice that Samantha Power’s confirmation hearing was ongoing. Here is some quick information that could be forwarded to Senate Confirmation Hearing Staffers – ASAP.

Did NOT see this one coming. We know her well, VERY WELL.

Samantha Power is Cass Sunstein’s wife. She had a baby last year. Before that she worked in the White House as a foreign policy advisor. It was Samantha Power who created the “Obama Doctrine” – and framed the R2P (Responsibility To Protect) intervention rules for POTUS.

Samantha Power was the primary decision maker behind our interventionist entry into war in Libya. It was her, along with Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton, who led the entire framework of our response to the Libyan uprising – and specifically our military engagement to protect al-Qaeda in Benghazi (Eastern Libya). She is rabidly anti-Israel. (we explain after AP article)

*Note* Don’t forget that in Obama’s administration the U.N. Ambassador is a Cabinet Level position. For all intents and purposes – equal to the Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A White House official says President Barack Obama will name former aide Samantha Power as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Power will replace Susan Rice, who will take over as Obama’s national security adviser. The official says Obama will announce both appointments from the White House Wednesday afternoon. (more…)

I had to stay up to watch the dawn break in Egypt – The sheer excitement of THIS MOMENT is beyond incredible for us to see in our lifetime. So many thoughts, and I just have to put some onto typeset. First – against the backdrop of our challenge:

Borrowing from Mike Vanderboegh – This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

The U.S. media has infected the electorate with a Kardashian mindset for so long they will have no appropriate constitution to be able to explain what is happening in Egypt right now.
This day is a natural fulfillment of humanities highest aspiration: FREEDOM.
The greatest and most significant lie every perpetually sold upon the American body electorate is the premise the freedom continuum is based on a lack of freedom on the right side of the political spectrum  – “right-wing extremists” –  This is so false, and it is abundantly and joyously evident at this very moment in what you are bearing witness to in Egypt. (more…)

The long run. The lifelong commitment.  The big picture. The foundational truths. These are the elements that feed the reactors that are burning deep within the hearts and minds of those who make a difference, whether or not they are flamboyant as they do it.  Such  people are deliberately self-aware but not self-conscious, because their focus is on what desperately needs to be done in response to what others are doing.

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy is the title by Eric Metaxas that documents the short life and astounding work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer who lived all four of those identities to the full.

It is a mistake to think of Hitler having a meteorically sudden rise to power, and it is a great misreading of events to think that those who actively resisted him did so out of the anxiety of a moment, implementing plans only drawn up under the pressure of we must do something right now.  Bonhoeffer and and others who actively resisted both inside and outside of government and military service, were far more thoughtful than such a perception would suggest.

What follows is a two page excerpt from Metaxas’ 2010 biography and may provide some food for thought as we find our places in our own national mess, perhaps feeling as he did, that we have so little ground under our feet because of the entrenched betrayals and deceptions that are dissolving the world as we knew it.

Obama’s America

A Great Leader Listens To The People……

…. But a Tyrant won’t tell them WHEN!

……. [Excerpt From CFP]  The present administration is going after leakers, media sources, anyone and everyone who is even suspected of ‘betrayal.’ That’s what they call it, ‘betrayal.’…This administration considers anyone telling the truth about Benghazi, the IRS, hell, you name the issue, ‘betrayal,’” he said.

“We know all this already,” I stated. He looked at me, giving me a look like I’ve never seen, and actually pushed his finger into my chest. “You don’t know jack,” he said, “this is bigger than you can imagine, bigger than anyone can imagine.  …. If you are a website owner with a brisk readership and a conservative bent, you’re on that list. It’s a political dissident list, not an enemy threat list,”…  (continue reading)
