Americans Should be Wary of the Democratic Party



Democrats have once again demonstrated their propensity for violence.  They were aggressive during the campaign when they infiltrated and disrupted our rallies.  They got in our faces hoping to provoke a fight.  Some Trump supporters were surrounded and beaten.  Does anyone remember the woman who stood defiantly against a horde of illegal aliens and Marxist fanatics while they screamed profanities and pelted her with eggs?  Should we  really be surprised these lunatics would assassinate republican politicians?





Recently, I watched a documentary about the Cuban revolution and I noticed a template of sorts.  Most of the radical leaders were indoctrinated in universities.  They were usually middle to upper-middle class and professed to represent the “people.”





The Castro brothers were sons of a wealthy man.  They were bastards but at least their father didn’t disown them. As a matter of fact, Fidel went to a private elementary school before enrolling into a Jesuit preparatory school.  He married a woman whose father was a minister in Batista’s government.  Fidel was well educated and connected.


While Fidel and his band of rebels occupied the Sierra Maestra, others were inflicting violence in Havana and other urban areas.  And when that didn’t work, these rebels resorted to political assassinations.  


When the Cuban Marxists finally gained power they began to execute political opponents.  If that sounds familiar, it should.  That is exactly what happened in the French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Vietnamese Revolution and Hitler’s Third Reich.   


A couple of days ago, a Bernie Sanders supporter hunted and shot down Republican congressmen on a baseball field.  It didn’t take long for Democrats to make excuses for this abhorrent behavior; others claimed the GOP deserved it.  


I believe the American people should keep a wary eye on the Democratic Party.  These people no longer subscribe to the American creed.  Their allegiance is to an ideology that is foreign, violent and oppressive.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Has No Allegiance to United States




Two decades ago, Ralph Nader wrote to one hundred American companies asking them to pledge allegiance to the United States before every stockholder meeting, since all of them accepted federal government subsidies and tax breaks.  Only one company responded favorably.  All others dismissed or jeered at his request.


Business interests see themselves as transnationalist.  They have no allegiance to the United States.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce exemplifies this ideology.  They have a history of siding with our enemies.  Some would say they’re in league with countries that wish to do us harm.  An Iranian news agency reported the Chamber and several other business groups were secretly conspiring to undermine U.S. policy by torpedoing economic sanctions.  The U.S. Chamber denied these allegations of course.  However, the end result is working out in their favor.


We must ask ourselves, why is it that republican senators would pass a law that would circumvent the treaty processes in the U.S. Constitution?  Who in their right mind would allow Barack Obama a free hand in negotiating with our enemies by giving him the authority to veto the Senate’s rejection of his so-called “executive agreement” with Iran?  We don’t have to look any farther than the U.S Chamber of Commerce.


We can also surmise that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is behind Barack Obama’s reestablishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, and eventual lifting of the trade embargo .  Here is an excerpt from one of their press releases:


Over the past 30 years, some sanctions legislation has imposed restrictions on commercial activity in an extraterritorial fashion that incites economic, diplomatic, and legal conflicts with our allies. In the past, U.S. laws imposing restrictions on the activities of European subsidiaries of U.S. multinationals have met with intense resistance from European governments. While the United States eventually lifted the restrictions, the damage to its foreign policy goals had been done. 

Not only do such moves undermine efforts to build a consensus for multilateral action, they make the United States more vulnerable to international commercial complaints. They can also damage U.S. leadership by greatly expanding the universe of entities subject to countersanctions to include insurers, creditors, and foreign subsidiaries.

There is no better example of the ineffectiveness of U.S. unilateral sanctions than Washington's policy toward Cuba. Implemented in October 1960 to pressure Fidel Castro to democratize, the Cuban embargo arguably has helped prop up the current regime. No one seriously argues that the Cuban dictatorship could have withstood five decades of free trade, free markets, and free enterprise, powered by its own entrepreneurial citizens.

While the current isolation of Cuba has far outlasted its original purpose, U.S. policies impose real costs. A March 2010 study by Texas A&M University indicates that easing restrictions on agricultural exports and lifting the travel ban could result in up to $365 million in additional sales of U.S. goods and create 6,000 new jobs in the United States. 

A comprehensive review of U.S. unilateral economic sanctions is overdue. From the five-decade old embargo on Cuba to proposals for extraterritorial sanctions on other countries, unilateral sanctions bring a host of unintended and unhelpful consequences. It's time to put an end to these damaging policies.


 Of course, we’re expected to believe Cuba will unleash their entrepreneurial spirit with this wave of U.S. commerce when in reality only the Castro regime will profit off of this infusion of cash.  We can also expect the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to pick the pockets of taxpayers to fund their dictatorial ventures.

The Obamafuscation Factor





The Obama administration’s “hapless fool” policies are, once again, praised in the media.  If you want a lesson in sycophancy just watch the talking heads effervesce over the genius of our president and his troop of bureaucratic monkeys.  There should be a new term for this kind of political spin.  How about the Obamafuscation factor?

Recently, the mainstream media had an orgasm over a reported 5% GDP growth in the third quarter.  Great isn’t it?  Not quite.  What they didn’t tell us is where Americans were spending their money.  Guess where all that hard earned cash went to.  That’s right healthcare.  Zero Hedge published the following graph:





Not only were libtard, talking heads praising this misleading report, they also attributed lower gas prices and the collapse of the ruble to our feckless leader’s energy policies.  Anyone worth their salt knows the Obama administration has an axe to grind when it comes to conventional energy.  The EPA has practically declared a war on the oil, gas and coal industry.  We can attribute this oil boom to fracking on state and privately owned lands.  The federal government had nothing to do with it, yet, they and their minions claim all the credit.  Nola.com writes: 

President Barack Obama and his left-wing environmental allies have declared war on America's energy sector. That's not hyperbole, according to a Senate committee's minority report; it's a quote.

"Setting the Record Straight: Hydraulic Fracturing and America's Energy Revolution" the report Republican staffers on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works released, sounds as dry as kindling. But it makes for some scary Halloween reading.

The report harshly criticizes the Obama administration's duplicity with energy production and supply. While publicly extolling the benefits the United States has reaped from fracking, the administration has done all it can to undermine it and other techniques.

The war is conducted on two fronts. One involves limiting the land involved. Many green extremists want energy supplies kept in the ground and when it comes to federal land Obama's bureaucrats are doing what they can to help.

"The Obama Administration has granted only half the amount of leases compared to those granted under the Clinton Administration and a third less than those granted under the Bush Administration," the report says.

Citing government statistics, the report notes a 6% fall in oil production and a 28% fall in natural gas production on federal lands between 2009 and 2013.

The second front involves mobilizing the federal bureaucracy to gum up the works and trump state management. The regulatory overload makes it much harder to get a drilling permit and much more expensive to operate.


And finally, the coup de grace, King Obama declares he will, by executive order of course, normalize relations with Cuba.  This president has a bad habit of aiding our enemies, while at the same time, alienating our allies.  This should be a relief to Cuba’s benefactor, Venezuela.  That regime can no longer afford to subsidize its totalitarian compatriot.  But now, because of another misguided and hapless policy, the Obama gives these two regimes a reprieve.

At some point and time, we have to ask ourselves, whose side are these people on?  We can only thank God for American ingenuity and perseverance.  As long as we have that, this country can endure all the Obamafuscations this administration and their minions in the media throw at us.

Rafael Cruz at Free the People




This man knows about totalitarian government from first hand experience.  We can see where his son, Senator Ted Cruz, gets his passion.

Cuban Defects to United States to Play Soccer?




Last week Charlotte hosted the Gold Cup.  A soccer match that thousands (mainly Latinos) attended.  But something happened at Bank of America Stadium that most liberals thought could never have happened:  a Cuban dissident defected to the U.S.A...

How can that be?  Why would any reasonable person leave that tropical paradise, known for its outstanding, free health care?  Why, that is unheard of in the elite social circles of Liberalville.

Here is an excerpt of Yosniel Mesa’s reasoning for his defection:     

Mesa left his young daughter and her mother behind in Cuba, he said. He didn't tell them he hoped not to return. "She's five years old. She wouldn't have understood," Mesa said of his daughter.

He also didn't want to risk someone foiling his plan.

"It's not an easy decision to make," said Julio, who fled Cuba more than a decade ago.

Since arriving in Miami on Friday, Mesa has spoken widely with media about his defection.

"I didn't have anything to lose and everything to gain," Mesa told El Nuevo Herald.

Mesa told Univision on Sunday that he defected because he wanted the chance to play professionally. He said he would not have that opportunity in Cuba, where he played for the Cienfuegos club.

He left his family and friends to come to the United States to play soccer?  I didn’t know that we had a reputable professional league.  Who knew?  Apparently, Cuban dissidents do.

I hope Mesa has a safe and healthy experience playing soccer in America.  Because, according to people like Michael Moore, an injury in the United States could cost you an arm and a leg.

United States Gets Spanked at U.N. Human Rights Council

The United States took a “shellacking” the other day at the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. Rogue regimes lined up for over a day to have a whack at the United States. You would have thought they were buying tickets to a rock concert. Three top officials from the U.S. State Department were the main attraction. And I guarantee you that they weren’t about to have panties thrown at them.


Michael Posner and his fellow self-loathing Americans took their medicine and asked for more with every degrading suggestion. Comments such as “thanks to very many of the delegations for thoughtful comments and suggestions”, and “It’s an honor to be in this chamber”, made the United States look weak.





Here are some of the suggestions by the top human rights violators in the world, as reported by Fox News:

Recommendations to improve the U.S. human rights record included Cuba’s advice to end “violations against migrants and mentally ill persons” and “ensure the right to food and health.”


Iran – currently poised to stone an Iranian woman for adultery – told the U.S. “effectively to combat violence against women.”


North Korea – which systematically starves a captive population – told the U.S. “to address inequalities in housing, employment and education” and “prohibit brutality…by law enforcement officials.”


Libya complained about U.S. “racism, racial discrimination and intolerance.”


In response to the many Guantanamo-related criticisms, the State Department’s top legal adviser, Harold Koh, blamed the failure to close the facility on others: “President Obama cannot close Guantanamo alone. That also involves our allies, the courts, and our Congress.”


Elections have consequences. This is what happens when you elect a man whose father was a non-citizen and a mother who despised her country. We get a president who is doing his best to diminish our standing in the world. After all he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism.
