It’s funny how sometimes you ponder things and feel all alone in your considerations, then suddenly whammo you read something that makes you think wow, perhaps it’s not just me after all.

I have written a few snippets recently about the Ron Paul libertarian wing of the political schematic and how they are becoming more and more, well, ‘out there’.   I’m not sure if I’ve just noted a new uptick in hostile tone, or if it is how they have always behaved and I just overlooked it.  I mean, they have historically been annoying, but generally only annoying like a gnat interfering in the foxhole discussion.  But more recently they have taken to physical action, and hijacking conservative discussion.

Is it really beneficial to win Puerto Rico in a larger sense? That is the question. Sure the 20 delegates are a significant pickup for any candidate. But exactly what does a victory in Puerto Rico really signify?
In a broad sense Puerto Rico is the ultimate entitlement social state. More than 60% of the entire population of the island are dependent on government assistance. 60%. Think about that. In addition, a full 1/4 of the population works for government in some form. Either directly or indirectly the average Puerto Rica citizen is attached at the hip to large government, and it should be noted, they are quite comfy with that.
If California is considered dependent on BIG LABOR, and Massachusetts is considered the bastion of BIG LIBERALISM, then it is not unfair to say that Puerto Rico is the nucleus of BIG GOVERNMENT.
With that in mind, does the overwhelming support for Mitt Romney by Puerto Ricans give credibility to his claim of fiscal conservatism?  Not even close.  Quite the opposite, it proves that Romney is seen, by Puerto Ricans anyway, as a big government handout kinda guy.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Mitt Romney scored an overwhelming win Sunday in Puerto Rico’s Republican presidential primary, trouncing chief rival Rick Santorum on the Caribbean island even as the two rivals looked ahead to more competitive contests this week in Illinois and Louisiana. (more…)

Out of an abundance of caution I will digress from details, but suffice to say Yatz knows of which I speak.  Something previously posted has struck a ‘central nerve’.  As an fyi here is a list of “monitored” web phrases and words.  Monitored by Big Brother: (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Ok folks, I have read all the pertinent factors on this latest Executive Order and will weigh in below the outlining article with my opinion as to why the administration is taking this approach.  There are multiple “Tin Foily” and knee jerk speculations about this, but I would remind Treepers to always focus on the #1 CURRENT Obama objective.   Re-election.
WASHINGTON – On Friday March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. (more…)

I can’t possibly be the only person who sees a remarkable similarity between Ron Paul supporters and the Occupier Crowd.   The tactics, methods, and behavior is essentially indistinguishable.    Dragging advocacy and support into chaos when they don’t like the outcomes is so, well, Cloward-Piven of them.
(ABC News) — Police and organizers shut down proceedings at one of Missouri’s largest caucuses today, as Ron Paul supporters feuded with local GOP leaders.

“It’s like the Hatfields and the McCoys around here,” St. Charles County’s former GOP chairman told ABC News, after police arrived on-scene with a helicopter and removed Paul backers. (more…)

Last Tuesday during President Obama’s press conference the President opined about civil discourse and misogynistic comments in the realm of public conversation as it relates to his daughters Sasha and Malia:

“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on.” “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don‘t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens;”
[…]… and that we want to send a message to all of our young people that being part of a democracy involves argument and disagreements and debate, and we want you to be engaged, and there’s a way to do it that doesn’t involve you being demeaned and insulted, particularly when you are a private citizen”

Fast forward to Friday night in Atlanta at a fundraiser for the President.   The proponent of all civil discourse sat in the audience being entertained by Cee Lo Green (seen here).

As we all know, every scintilla of a presidential appearance is controlled, evaluated and scripted in advance. The optics must reflect the Office Of The President, and the administrations tone and style. It really does strike a remarkable contrast between how our President defines “civility” and perhaps how the general electorate would define the same term. (more…)

Ever since President Obama’s infamous ‘Cairo Speech’ I have been writing about the consequences.   He owns this.   What we are seeing play out in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and more recently Syria and Iran, is the direct consequence of Obama’s complete and utter inneptitude.   Islamo Facism and Infidelaphobia are just outcroppings of a naive leftist view of the Middle East.  The ‘Big Cat’ cage doors of Islamic extremism are wide open.
(AINA) More than 300 Muslim lawyers inside and outside a courthouse in the southern Egyptian province of Assuit today prevented defense lawyer Ahmad Sayed Gabali, who is representing the Christian Makarem Diab, from going into court. Mr. Diab was found guilty of ‘Insulting the Muslim Prophet’ and was scheduled today a hearing on his appeal.
Attorney Dr. Naguib Gabriell, head of the Egyptian Union of Human Rights Organization, said there was “terror in the Assiut Court today.” He added that he was on his way to court when he was advised that Muslim lawyers have issued death threats to any Christian lawyers who attend the court session. “Makram Diab was assaulted by Muslim lawyers during his transfer from the courtroom and security failed to protect him.” (more…)
