The Confederate Flag Made Me Do It!

Let’s get this straight.  A racist, mentally deranged kid goes on a killing spree in a black church and liberals automatically blame this heinous act on the confederate flag.  What kind of logic is that?  I’ll tell you.  It’s the special snowflake kind.  The kind of logic that states no one is responsible for their own actions.  People used to blame the Devil for their transgressions.  In post-Christian America, liberals declare the confederate flag made them do it.

So, now we’re having a national debate on the meaning and relevance of the confederate battle flag.   Detractors state this “relic” has no place in modern America and should collect dust as a museum piece.  To them, it represents racism and slavery.  I disagree.

That battle flag represents resistance to northern aggressors who wouldn't take no for an answer.  The North was equivalent to an abusive husband hunting down his bruised and battered wife so as to smack her around some more.  Let’s face the facts.  The North invaded the South.  The Yankees were going to make damn sure this marriage stayed intact, even if they have to grab the South by the hair and drag her back kicking and screaming.  There’s no halfway house for two Americas.

Detractors would have us believe all Southerners fought to keep and perpetuate the institution of slavery.  The fact is only a small percentage of the population owned slaves.  Most were subsistence farmers who couldn’t vote because they didn’t own a prerequisite amount of land.  The South was ruled by landed gentry.  It was this political class that fought to keep slavery alive; not the average Southerner.

The reason that battle flag should fly high on every Southerners porch is to remind them that it was the North that invaded, murdered, raped and pillaged their homeland.  It was the North that repudiated the principles of the American Revolution.  It was the North that militarily occupied their capitols and cities while they starved and stole from the vanquished.

That’s why liberals want to banish the confederate battle flag.  They want to whitewash our history by denying Southerners their heritage.  That’s how a military occupation is called Reconstruction and students never heard of the “Era of Good Stealings.”

Retail Apocalypse Now!

It’s here.  Mall rats are scattering in a panic.  It’s the Retail Apocalypse Now!

WASHINGTON – The long feared “retail apocalypse” may be hitting with little or no fanfare if a growing list of store-closing plans by major chains is any indication.

Major U.S. retailers have announced the closing of more than 6,000 stores from coast to coast. The list includes only those retailers that have announced plans to close more than 10 outlets this year and next.

For example, 1,784 Radio Shack stores are vanishing, 400 stores in the Office Depot/Office Max chain by 2016, and 340 Dollar Tree/Family Dollar stores.

The growing list of stores getting shuttered coincides with the decline in discretionary consumer spending over the past six months.

“Expect to see more storefronts closed at malls across the country,” one retail watcher told WND. “It’s getting ugly out there.

U.S. Congress Ready to Abrogate National Sovereignty

We’ve seen time after time, Congress sign away their constitutional duties.  They created a monstrous federal bureaucracy and codified it with the 1946 Administrative Procedures Act which basically abrogated the law making process by allowing federal bureaucrats to create rules and regulations that have the force of law.

 

Now, with Obamatrade, Congress once again is abrogating their constitutional responsibilities.  This time our sovereignty could be at stake.  Senator Jeff Sessions revealed how dangerous the TPA is to our national interest.

WND reported the following.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., has been leading the charge against TPA, his greatest concern being that it would create an international legal body, akin to the European Union, that would have vast powers to change U.S. law, outside of the control of Congress.

He has said one effect would be the bypassing of U.S. immigration laws, greatly increasing the number of foreign workers allowed into the country, costing Americans jobs and depressing wages.

Sessions penned an open letter on Sunday that claimed reams of new information have been exposed since the Senate last voted on TPA more than four weeks ago, including “information that was either not known or understood when the vote was held.”

Much of that information regards the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, a monumental trade deal between the U.S. and Pacific Rim nations that would almost certainly be passed into law, as would all “fast-tracked” trade deals, should TPA become law.

Sessions listed the problems:

·         TPP includes the administration’s pledge to impose “environmental governance.”

·         TPP would lead to the formation of a new Pacific Union, “an enduring, self-governing political entity with vast regulatory power. Yet fast-track – which has led without fail to the adoption of every covered agreement since its inception – would rush it through with less legislative scrutiny than a Post Office reform bill.”

·         “The president has refused to answer the most simple but crucial questions about how he plans to use fast-track powers. He will not even answer whether he believes his plan will increase or reduce the trade deficit, increase or reduce manufacturing jobs, or increase or reduce wages.”

·         “In addition to the TPP are the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). Together they encompass three-fourths of the world economy, and up to ninety percent of the world economy when including countries whose membership is being courted.”

·         “The texts of TTIP and TiSA remain completely secret –unreviewable by lawmakers themselves – yet fast-track would authorize the executive to sign them before Congress votes.”

·         “The president would send Congress legislation to change U.S. law to comport with these new agreements, legislation which cannot be amended, which senators cannot filibuster, cannot receive a two-thirds treaty vote, and cannot be debated for more than 20 hours.”

·         “The Ways and Means Committee has also now conceded that, as an unprecedented ‘Living Agreement,’ the union could change its structure, rules, regulations and enforcement mechanisms after final ratification – a dangerous and unjustifiable power.”

·         “TiSA would seek foreign worker mobility among 50 nations, including between the United States, Turkey and Pakistan.

This is very disturbing.

Feds Lost $3 Billion in Obamacare Subsidies

What could possibly go wrong with Obamacare?  How can we count the ways?  First, insurance premiums skyrocketed to the point where the majority of Americans can’t afford it without a government subsidy.  Second, deductibles are so high people are becoming exasperated at paying exorbitant out of pocket expenses.  Third, good luck in finding a doctor or hospital to accept Obamacare, and finally the insult of an incompetent and unaccountable federal government bureaucracy.  

The Free Beacon reported the following:

The federal government cannot verify nearly $3 billion in subsidies distributed through Obamacare, putting significant taxpayer funding “at risk,” according to a new audit report. 

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) released an audit Tuesday finding that the agency did not have an internal system to ensure that subsidies went to the right enrollees, or in the correct amounts.

“[The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] CMS’s internal controls did not effectively ensure the accuracy of nearly $2.8 billion in aggregate financial assistance payments made to insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act during the first four months that these payments were made,” the OIG said.

 “CMS’s system of internal controls could not ensure that CMS made correct financial assistance payments,” they said.

Should we really be surprised by this?  Has anyone searched the Clinton Foundation?

Progressive Educators Promote "Shiftless Black Culture" Theory

Our public educational system has been hijacked by progressives who expound soft bigotry of low expectations.  An Oregon school district spent $100,000 to have their educators learn the finer points of “white privilege” and racism.  Ultimately, attendees were taught black students were incapable of being productive citizens and that American ideals are hostile to minorities.

EAG News.org reports:

The theory says that school curricula, instructional methods and disciplinary policies are hopelessly based on the norms of white culture, for the exclusive benefit of white students. It teaches that black students cannot possibly succeed unless K-12 education is modified and customized to their supposed culture.

The “white privilege” crowd claims that fundamental ideals of American society, like hard work for personal gain and personal ownership of property, are products of white culture and completely foreign to black students.

That means schools that try to prepare black children for success in the American free market economy are spinning their wheels, because black culture is collectivist in nature. The obvious political message is that black kids will only thrive in a socialist economy.

They even went so far as to define “white privilege”:

What an outrageous theory!  Anyone who teaches this nonsense shouldn’t be near a child.  American culture is not confined to a race of people.  Blacks have prospered and made incredible contributions to this country.  How dare anyone state otherwise.

Progressives should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this pernicious theory to advance in our public schools, but we all know shame isn’t in their genetic makeup.
