The Day America Changed

November 6, 2012 is the day America changed. 8 to 9 percent unemployment is the new normal. It’s good enough. 46 million people on food stamps is OK. It shows we care. Debt spending is good. It will get paid off some day and if not, our kids can worry about it. Trillion dollar deficits make sense.

Socialized medicine is good. It will cost more, but did you honestly believe it wouldn’t? It doesn’t matter what you were told. Catholics should pay for abortions. Sandra Fluke is a prophet. Abortions and birth control should be free. We should fund abortions overseas, too.

The First Lady should be allowed to blow millions on lavish vacations. The White House parties should cost millions, too. The president should play as much golf and basketball as he pleases. They deserve it. They work hard. They’re Democrats.

Greedy Americans should pay more taxes and millions of Americans who pay no taxes should receive more free money. It’s only fair. Businesses can afford to pay more taxes too. That’s what they teach you in school, right? We all know the Bush tax cuts that brought the deficit from $450 billion to $175 billion in four years and created millions of jobs didn’t work. Obama said so. And did you know Obama created 5 million jobs? Who cares how he came up with that number. In September he even created 600,000 part-time jobs somewhere. And, don’t you dare question his math. because like he said, he doesn't lie.

Benghazi was a protest, or a terrorist attack. Obama said so from the beginning. Who cares anyway. Things like that happen all the time. And the media never covered anything up to help the president either. Right, 60 Minutes?

Al-Qaeda is dead or on the run.

We pushed the restart button with Russia. Putin is a democrat. He can be trusted. What do you mean there are Russian subs in the Gulf and off the east coast?

It’s not racist that 97% of blacks vote Democrat. It’s racist if you are white and vote Republican.

The media is your friend. The mainstream media is not biased. They would never hide anything from you.

Katrina was a national embarrassment. It was Bush’s fault. Sandy was not so bad. And Obama did a great job focusing on it from between campaign stops. The people are not suffering so much or we would have heard about it in the news.

America was once the land of the free. Now we want to be told what to do. More government is good. We want stuff. On Tuesday America changed.

If this is the new normal and we accept it, then not only is this Country in the deepest peril since 1860,....then we deserve it.
God help us in the days ahead.

Foreign Perspective on Electing Obama

We have a serious education problem in this country. The Czech Republic understands the problem:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

"The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

An excerpt from a the Czech Republic newspaper Prager Zeitung.

Texas Trooper Helicopter Sharpshooter

Near the Texas-Mexico border, near La Joya, Texas State game wardens attempted to make a vehicle stop this past Thursday and once the vehicle failed to yield Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) were called to assist. A Texas state trooper fired on the speeding and evading pickup from a DPS helicopter trying to disable the vehicle during the deadly chase resulting in the pickup tires blowing, the driver loosing control and the vehicle crashing into a ditch.

Two of the occupants were shot and later died, the remaining six were here in the U.S. illegally from Guatemala and arrested.

I know that different law enforcement agencies have different use of force policies and many agencies practice and have policieis regarding firing from helicopters on vehicles, people or boats. I was not there and have no opinion on whether the shooting was justified or not,....but I do take exception to a so-called "expert" on police chases, who said the "the decision to fire on the truck was “a reckless act” that served “no legitimate law enforcement purpose.”

This so-called expert, Geoffery Alpert, a professor of criminology from the University of South Carolina,...that would be several states to the east of Texas,.........also said “In 25 years following police pursuits, I hadn’t seen a situation where an officer shot a speeding vehicle from a helicopter. Such action would be reasonable only if “you know for sure the person driving the car deserves to die and that there are no other occupants.”

Mr Alpert continued opening his pie hole and continued on, stating "In general, law enforcement agencies allow the use of deadly force only when the car is being used as a weapon, not “just on a hunch.”

Boy, Mr Alpert you really must be an expert if you think police on fire on someone because they think the suspect "deserves to die".

Would it be a justified shooting if the truck was recklessly speeding and entering a populated zone?

How about if it was during going to school hours and that populated zone included some elementary school bus stops were children were waiting to board the school bus?

In case you don't know it Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies working on our border with the failed state called Mexico, routinely receive several threats to kill law enforcement personnel each week.

There are several "shots fired" at U.S. police officers on the border each week. And just because this turned out (after the chase) to be (just) illegal aliens does not diminish the fact that many aliens are also carrying drugs and weapons. Unless you were there, don't comment or judge law enforcement personnel who risk their lives each day to protect us,.....
