Gene Simmons Sums Up Obama Administration

Gene Simmons pulls no punches when it comes to the Obama administration.  The demon bass player of Kiss portrays the commander-in-chief as nothing more than a clueless class warrior who lives in a land of Mountain Dew Rivers and candy cane trees.

As a matter of fact, the American people have become participants in a Progressive/Liberal psycho circus.  An event that many of us didn’t buy a ticket for and those who did want their money back.

Christians Under Siege in Dearbornistan, Michigan

A Muslim diaspora has taken over an American city.  A Christian immigrant from Libya came to the United States hoping to experience the American dream; instead he found a Muslim enclave that is more oppressive than Omar Kaddafi’s regime.  And what city could this be?  You guessed it:  Dearborn, Michigan.

Dearbornistan has become a closed city.  Christians can’t ring their church bells.  They have a hard time finding jobs, and to their amazement have discovered that they are considered merely slaves to the Islamic Ummah.  Many citizens are moving away from this Middle Eastern horror show that has planted their Jihad flag on American soil.

We need to stop Muslims from immigrating to this country.  Islam is not a religion; it is a political ideology; and a subversive one at that.

Federal Judge Rules Jesus Causes 'Irreparable Harm'

It’s that time of year, when young people reach a milestone that signifies a turning point in life; when it is time to put toys away, and accept the responsibilities of an adult; it is time for graduation.  And with this ceremony of pomp and circumstance, graduates discover they really aren’t adults, because a federal judge has deemed that an invocation would cause irreparable harm to students and families:

A federal judge has ordered a Texas school district to prohibit public prayer at a high school graduation ceremony. Chief U.S. District Judge Fred Biery’s order against the Medina Valley Independent School District also forbids students from using specific religious words including “prayer” and “amen.”

The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed by Christa and Danny Schultz. Their son is among those scheduled to participate in Saturday’s graduation ceremony. The judge declared that the Schultz family and their son would “suffer irreparable harm” if anyone prayed at the ceremony.

I wonder what kind of irreparable harm these nitwits would suffer.  Did the court allow a scientific inquiry into the malefic causation of prayer, and the invocation of the One who can’t be named:  Jesus Christ?  Forget about Harry Potter’s nemesis; whatever you do, don’t say the Lord’s name in public.  It could be a lawsuit.

The agnostics and atheist, along with their power hungry judges, have completely bastardized the First Amendment.  Our founding fathers believed that religion has an important role in this country; that good citizens derive moral guidance from the precepts of Christianity.

After the Revolutionary War, a great migration from the east into the newly acquired lands just past the Appalachian Mountains occurred.  These citizens needed guidance and a proclamation known as the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was issued.  Here is what our founding fathers had to say about religion and its importance within the classroom:

Art. 3. Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.

A famous Frenchman noted the necessity of religion in the United States, and testified to the importance Christianity had on western expansion and our institutions:

Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Vol.1, p. 311-12

I have known of societies formed by the Americans to send out ministers of the Gospel into the new Western States to found schools and churches there, lest religion should be suffered to die away in those remote settlements, and the rising States be less fitted to enjoy free institutions than the people from which they emanated. I met with wealthy New Englanders who abandoned the country in which they were born in order to lay the foundations of Christianity and of freedom on the banks of the Missouri, or in the prairies of Illinois. Thus religious zeal is perpetually stimulated in the United States by the duties of patriotism. These men do not act from an exclusive consideration of the promises of a future life; eternity is only one motive of their devotion to the cause; and if you converse with these missionaries of Christian civilization, you will be surprised to find how much value they set upon the goods of this world, and that you meet with a politician where you expected to find a priest. They will tell you that "all the American republics are collectively involved with each other; if the republics of the West were to fall into anarchy, or to be mastered by a despot, the republican institutions which now flourish upon the shores of the Atlantic Ocean would be in great peril. It is, therefore, our interest that the new States should be religious, in order to maintain our liberties." Such are the opinions of the Americans, and if any hold that the religious spirit which I admire is the very thing most amiss in America, and that the only element wanting to the freedom and happiness of the human race is to believe in some blind cosmogony, or to assert with Cabanis the secretion of thought by the brain, I can only reply that those who hold this language have never been in America, and that they have never seen a religious or a free nation. When they return from their expedition, we shall hear what they have to say.

 This observation cuts right to the chase.  What we are witnessing is not just a loss of religious freedom, but also the right to free speech; and all in the name of a myth:  Separation of Church and State.

Green Police Eat One of Their Own

The Green Police just hammered one of their own.  A Great Britain research facility that specializes in carbon free energy was smacked across the face with a green tax bill:

The unexpected impact of the government's carbon reduction commitment (CRC) scheme is so severe that scientists and research funders have lobbied ministers for an exemption to reduce the bills.

Among the worst hit is the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire, a facility for research into almost limitless carbon-free energy. The lab faces an estimated £400,000 payment next year, raising the spectre of job losses and operational cuts. "Considering our research is aimed at producing zero-carbon energy, it seems ironic and perverse to clobber us with an extra bill," a senior scientist at the lab said. "We have to use electricity to run the machine and there is no way of getting around that."

And of course the attitude by these Progressives is that they should be exempt from this green tax, because they’re special:

"This [tax] will have a negative impact on important research into low carbon energy sources and that cannot be the right consequence of a policy the government is pursuing to promote a low carbon economy," said Sue Ferns, head of research at Prospect. "There is a potential for the scheme to impact on employment and it adds to pressures to run the equipment less. Even if it doesn't lead to substantial job losses, these are world-class scientists and every job, every piece of research makes a difference."

What about the job losses that other businesses face because of this boondoggle?  I guess they aren’t as important as these climate change grifters whose research is dependent on sucking the life blood out of reputable businesses.

Welcome to the policies that you helped to create.  Maybe your research is worthy enough to warrant investors to help pay your bills; but I doubt it.  Chances are they will get a waiver.  I guess Progressive cronyism is just as popular in Britain as it is in the United States.

Charlotte Bureaucrats Fine Church for Pruning a Tree

If you want to trim a tree in the Charlotte area, you’d better think twice.  A church was just fined $4000 for excessive pruning:

"We always keep our trees trimmed back because you don't want to worry about them hanging down in the way," said Sales, a church member.

The church was fined $100 per branch cut for excessive pruning, bringing the violation to $4,000.

"I just couldn't believe it when I heard about it," Sales said. "We trim our trees back every three years all over our property, and this is the first time we have been fined."

According to the city forester, you’d better contact them before cutting a branch.  They will instruct you on the proper technique; or better yet, get certified by the National Horticulture Society, because you’re too stupid to use a pair of shears.

Property rights are practically extinct in today’s America, especially in progressive cities like Charlotte.  The Observer states that this type of ordinance only applies to commercial properties:

Charlotte has had a tree ordinance since 1978, and when trees are incorrectly pruned or topped, people can be subject to fines, Johnson said.

Trees planted as a result of the ordinance are subject to the fines if they are excessively trimmed or pruned. These include trees on commercial property or street trees. They do not include a private residence

Than contradicts itself later in the article:

On private property, fine amounts are based on the size of the tree improperly pruned. For small trees such as cherry trees or crape myrtles, the fine is $75 per tree. Excessive cutting can increase that fine to $100 per branch.

For large trees such as oaks or maples, the fine is $150 per tree.

Because there is a widespread lack of understanding on how to prune crape myrtles in the Charlotte area, Johnson said, residents found in violation regarding these trees are asked to simply replace them, and the fine will be lifted.

Is any property private in Charlotte, North Carolina?  Just prune a tree and find out.

Socialist and Islamist Conspire to Take Down Capitalist System

The Socialist and Islamist have been conspiring to take down Western Capitalist for the past 30 years.  They sense victory and are now openly declaring a Jihad on our way of life.

The irony of this so-called Arab Spring (democracy) movement is that it came about by the usage of technology developed and propagated by capitalist.  Where would totalitarianism be without computers, cell phones and Facebook?  I’ll tell you:  in the dark just like their oppressive ideologies.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Illegal Criminals Are a Necessity

I want to thank the Democrats for elevating Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to the position of DNC Chairman.  The next two years should be a treasure trove of stupidity that only a progressive could dig up.

The latest gaffe by the head dunce is that illegal aliens are not criminals.  According to Debs, we don’t have immigration laws and it’s just a free-for-all.  She also stated that illegals are the back bone of our economy; not just a reality but a necessity.  The last I heard, we have an unemployment rate that is over 9%.  That is a reality.  And having Americans work these jobs is a necessity.
