America goes to the polls

Can't fault your post, Bonny.  I keep getting those same worries about him even though it is supposedly not possible.  Never say never and he does appear to be very manipulative so......

I love that comment about Kerry.  

Although I am not a great fan of Dick Cheney, I must admit that I think he is right here.

This is another release that has been effected by the Department of Homeland Security....It is such a good feeling to have the safety of the citizens a priority.  Again.

Cheney's another one that's bad for my blood pressure, but he's right about that. Obama is NOT, from where I am sitting, the President of all Americans, just some of them. And from what I read, he's set race relations back generations.

This hypothetical scenario is interesting:

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/constitutional-cliffhangers-third-term-presidents

President Frederick is three years into his second term. He remains so popular that some pundits have floated the idea of repealing the Twenty-Second Amendment and letting him run for a third term. Frederick laughs off such talk, and a national opinion poll shows that only 12 percent of voters support repeal. Still, Frederick casts a large shadow; on the eve of primary season, his Democrats have no clear front-runner for the nomination to replace him.

Then disaster strikes: a treacherous terrorist attack kills tens of thousands of Americans. The country rallies behind President Frederick as he leads a strong offensive against the terrorists and their sponsors. His approval rating shoots into the nineties. While the country is badly rattled by the attack, people feel safer with Frederick in charge.

Frederick feels pretty good being in charge too. Now, when the Twenty-Second Amendment comes up, he sounds increasingly coy. Support for repeal rises to almost 50 percent in the polls. But Republicans — and several prominent Democrats — argue against amending the Constitution in the heat of the moment, so the congressional and state supermajorities needed for an amendment are well out of reach.

At this point, a startling idea gains traction among Democrats: President Frederick can run for vice president. Many people would find Frederick’s mere presence reassuring. Others envision a figurehead president who would leave VP Frederick in charge or perhaps even resign and let Frederick become president again. This last maneuver would be constitutional, they say, because the Twenty-Second Amendment only says that no one “shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” and Frederick would not be “elected” president. The amendment says nothing about a two-term president “succeeding” to the presidency, or “serving” as president. Buoyed by Frederick’s stratospheric popularity and the atmosphere of crisis, the plan steadily gains support, and Frederick’s anointed surrogate, Representative Stevens, sweeps the Democratic presidential primaries.

The Republicans object forcefully. As one senator puts it on a Sunday morning talk show, “We’re all grateful to President Frederick for his leadership during these difficult months, but everybody knows we have a two-term limit. We shouldn’t let the Constitution be a casualty of this war.” Frederick is officially nominated for vice president at the Democratic convention, and the litigation floodgates open.


Bearing in mind how Obama has subverted the Constitution already....if what's left of Detroit vanishes with a bang and a sudden flash of light, and Obama tries to blame Putin, he may well try to go for three terms.

Tut tut, Lily! Criminal aliens? That's Badspeak! They are aspirational dreamers, who will be only too delighted to thank Obama by voting for him as many times as they're told to.

I remain chastised, Bonny.  

That President Frederick article makes for a very unsettling read....

Emperor Obama's latest wheeze doesn't seem to be going down very well...

http://www.infowars.com/obama-calls-for-mandatory-voting/

And to think we used to laugh at the Soviet Union, with its 99% votes. Though even they didn't record 110% votes for one candidate as happened in some areas with Obama.

Just wait, the next step will be, Look how democratic we are! Why, we let you choose between Progressive A in the pay of Soros, and Progressive B in the pay of Soros!

......coming soon to a Polling Station near you.......

Just wait, the next thing will be, Time to scrap the Constitution, it was written by dead white men that had slaves!

I think I've heard that before somewhere........

http://www.infowars.com/soros-funded-media-matters-attacks-oreilly-for-exposing-puppet-master-soros/


White House front group Media Matters labeled Fox News host Bill O’Reilly a racist anti-semite after he criticized billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who incidentally provides funding and support for the leftist organization.

Yesterday, the progressive media watchdog accused O’Reilly of employing “Anti-semitic Tropes” when he said that Soros, who he called a “shadow puppet master,” had “his tentacles into political organizations.”

I am not a big fan of O'Reilly, but in what alternate universe is it 'anti semitic' to call Soros a scumbag with tentacles everywhere?

Soros is a PoS that just happens to be Jewish; indeed, his fellow-Jews were his first victims, when he helped the Nazis destroy them, and still boasts about not caring.

Oh, I forgot. Scumbag Soros is a chum of Obama, bankrolled Obama in the past, is bankrolling the Ferguson pests, and is bankrolling the chaos in the Ukraine, and elsewhere.

That is correct.  He pays people to say nice things about him too.  

Such a dear sweet little old man......

A very good piece by Ron Paul, ending:

Someday out of necessity we will be forced to consider a policy that the Founders advocated. Friendship with all nations, peace, commerce, and avoidance of all entangling alliances while staying out of the internal affairs of other nations. Unless something miraculous happens, I fear that this will not be accomplished until we are forced to come to

I love that guy.  He is so honest and refreshing.

I also like him because he is a GENUINE patriot, one of the few politicians that wants what is best for the American people, not his Swiss bank account.

A rare breed indeed, Bonny.

YES!!  Hope he does run and gets good campaign folk behind him.

Oh, that is good, Lily. I know he's not his father, but he's still streets ahead of anyone else I've seen in the race.

Yes, Bonny.  Maybe he may be able to at least end up as Vice President.  So that would be good too.

US "Loses" $500 Million In Weapons Given To Yemen, Now In Al-Qaeda Hands

Try not to scream when you come to the graphic of just how much has been 'lost', Lily. I can't even begin to imagine how you 'lose' four helicopters, two patrol boats, etc.

It's staggering.

I'm told they just walk away......so it's left behind.  

Never mind all will be well just so long as nothing interferes with the Commander in Chief and family's vacations and perks.

Anyone needs them after toiling so hard......

I see Washington is getting ready to clamp down on dissenters in the US:

MORE STATES ADDED TO ‘JADE HELM’ MILITARY EXERCISE
'Realistic Military Training' exercise expands to as many as ten states




The US military has quietly added more states to its eight-week Jade Helm joint training drill, originally designated to take place in seven southwestern states.

Speaking of the exercise at the Brazos County Commissioners Court in Texas last month, Jade Helm Operations Planner and retired Green Beret Thomas Mead told an audience that the drill, which will run from July 15 to September 15, will now include the states Mississippi and Florida.

“The exercise is actually an eight-week exercise taking place across seven states,” Mead explains. “As you can see right there, it spans the whole southwest of the United States. We’ve also added Mississippi and we have a group also working out of Florida.”

“We’ll have Navy Seals that’ll be conducting targets and training down in the Mississippi area,” Mead also says.

The interagency, unconventional warfare exercise, lasting eight weeks, will utilize 1,200 special forces personnel from multiple branches of the US military, including Army Green Berets, Navy Seals, Marine Special Operations Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, according to a Powerpoint presentation regarding the exercise.

What kind of 'Unconventional Warfare' do they have in mind, I wonder?

Very interesting indeed.
