Truth Floats Despite Tyranny on the Potomac! GET LOUD NOW!

By Susan Stamper Brown

Progressivism thrives best when truth is suppressed, but suppressed truth is still truth. You can try to sink it, shred it, cover it and destroy it, but truth eventually rises to the surface. Truth floats. Always.


Currently, the various scandals within the Obama administration have put Progressives in defensive mode to protect an ideology built on lies. Each day brings with it a new scandal or a new angle to a previous scandal. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS, and the DOJ’s seizure of phone records have one thing in common: suppression of truth.

Americans are discovering Progressivism isn’t all it is cracked up to be. Even the coolest of Progressive presidents can’t deliver the goodies they promise if what they really intended to deliver was hidden inside a bag of lies.

By now, most everyone understands Progressive-speak for “hope and change” translates into high unemployment, an abysmal economy, a disastrous healthcare bill, excessive poverty, starving children, ridiculous food prices, losing wars, and terrorist attacks on our homeland. Four bucks gets you a gallon of gas, a college degree gets you nowhere, and with each new scandal, the White House deflects the blame on someone else and runs off to play another round of golf. That, my friends, is Progressivism in a nutshell...

If you don’t like what you see, it’s time to get loud (not violent) Americans. Silence is acceptance. And so far, your silence is deafening… and dangerous…because silence becomes the well-insulated womb to which tyranny is given safe harbor to grow.

Obama's Chickens, Heart of Progessivism, Che, Obama is Innocent & More

Obama's Chickens:
   Obama’s liberation theology preaching pastor, Jeremiah Wright is well known for his comment that “America’s chickens are coming home to roost”. Scandals of all sorts are popping up around the District of Columbia quicker than the “bimbo eruptions” of the Clinton administration. It could well be that Barack Hussein Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost.
   Proverbs 28:13 tells us, “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” We have seen all sorts of dereliction of presidential responsibilities. We have seen members of his administration – including cabinet members – acting against the best interests of the American people for years. Then we have seen them lie about it to cover their actions and nefarious motives. It’s hard to keep up with all the scandals without a scorecard...


Benghazi Reveals the Heart of Progressivism: 
   A cold lack of interest in the suffering of others -- not the abstract, theoretical suffering of collective interest groups, such as "the poor" or "gays" or "women," but the real physical pain and mortal terror-style suffering of individual human beings in mortal crisis...
   Creatures of such failed moral development are currently, unthinkably, the most powerful men and women on the planet.  We are sometimes given to wondering, in the face of one or another of the progressives' assaults on individual freedom, natural rights, and human dignity, how they cannot see what inhuman conditions they are imposing on their fellow men.  The problem is worse than that.  As Benghazi teaches, these monsters, unlike their hypnotized followers, do see what they are doing, but they are simply incapable of giving a damn.

Top 10 Reasons Obama is Innocent:

10. Obama admires Abraham Lincoln.

9. Saul Alinsky died in 1972.

8. Campaign 2012 was an aberration.

7. "Punish your enemies" was an aberration.

6. Nobel Peace Prize

5. Campaign 2008 was an aberration.

4. Obama taught Constitutional Law.

3. The War on Fox News was an aberration.

2. Obama’s past was an aberration.

1. There are no red taxpayers or blue taxpayers, only American taxpayers.

Not Me - Conservative Cartoon

From Chip Bok:

The thrill is gone even for Chris Mathews when it comes to the president’s engagement in his job. Dana Milbank calls him the “Passerby President”. David Fredosso at the Washington Examiner tweeted that ” Seal Team 6 is the only govt agency that acts directly on Obama’s behalf. All others are run by front-line employees making grave errors”.

Ultimately, the burden is on us, the sovereign... We The People

By Matthew May


...Ultimately, the burden is on us, the sovereign.  Contrary to what Obama, Clinton, and the entirety of the left believe, we, the citizens, rule this country.  That ownership carries with it a sacred responsibility in perilous times such as these.  We must prove to these charlatans that we recognize that we live in a republic, and not the two-bit banana republic into which Obama and his indecent, corrupt administration is attempting to transform us.

Thomas Jefferson asked, "And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"

Resistance can take many forms.  Deluge your representatives with e-mail, phone calls, and letters demanding that they take action against this overbearing government.  Express yourself in the 2014 elections by campaigning for and voting for individuals who pledge to uphold the rule of law and who will, regardless of party, bring these miscreants to account.  Attend public meetings and protests; talk with your friends and family and make them aware of what is being done to the Constitution and, ultimately, their rights as free citizens.

Jefferson's question is again asked of us.  Do we yet have that spirit of resistance that once booted out one the mightiest empires the world has known?  Can we send the current band of liars and amoral statists out of the halls of government, or have we grown too lethargic and distracted to care?  Are we worthy of our forebears?  If so, the republic shall endure.  If not, the victory will go to this tyrannical regime, our eventual fall will be further accelerated, and we will be judged responsible.

The choice is clear, and it is time to act.

Justice Department and AP - Conservative Cartoon

From Chip Bok:

The Department of Justice is providing much tougher oversight of the AP than it did of its own ATF during the Fast and Furious scandal. In an effort to root out a leak Justice raided the Associated Press and made off with two months of phone records. The worm turns and so does the press.

Corruption in the sacred temple of socialism

By John Hayward

As we watch a string of scandals detonate across the Obama Administration, we should all be able to agree that the abuse of government power to punish political opposition is hideously wrong.  Sometimes we struggle to define the precise boundaries of “corruption,” as a growing government extends its power into the private sector, and the daily conduct of its business becomes inherently corrupt.  Special interests swarm around the Leviathan State like remora fish around a shark.  Everyone is either getting punished or subsidized by the government.  Political connections become the most valuable economic resource.  (If only President Obama’s cronies in the “green energy” racket had been given half the scrutiny this Administration directed at Tea Party groups, imagine how much money taxpayers would have saved!)

The ruling class reaches the apex of its power when it no longer has to tax and spend money to promote its agenda, or even deploy coercive regulations that could be traced back to particular administrators; instead, the ruling class need only express its desires, and those eager to curry favor will scramble to obey.  For an example, watch the unfolding scandal around Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’ efforts to squeeze money out of the industries she regulates.

But even in that thick stew of corruption – as competition under the impartial rule of law is replaced by a struggle to win the zero-sum affections of the State – we can easily see that government itself is the greatest “special interest” of all.  When politicians and bureaucrats abuse power to protect themselves, we should recoil in disgust.  There are right and wrong ways for politicians to win support, but there is no “good” way for them to punish opposition.

This disgust grows particularly acute when the Internal Revenue Service is corrupted.  We are obliged to place a great deal of faith in the IRS.  The agency carries an extraordinary burden of public trust.

Barack Obama, Political Correctness and the End of an Era

By Steve McCann

The re-election of Barack Obama is the high water mark and the end of an era.  The period 1960 to 2014 will go down in American history as the era of never-ending crusades leading to the decline and potential downfall of the United States.   During this time frame America has been inundated with one cause after another.   The essential civil rights movement and the tragically successful Viet Nam protests spawned numerous causes, among them: feminism, environmentalism, global warming, and gay rights.

For each generation born after 1940 it has been a rite of passage to take up the mantle of protest concurrent with mindless dedication to oftentimes absurd and erroneous beliefs, which have, in nearly all cases, resulted in disastrous societal and economic consequences.

With the backdrop of unimaginable prosperity and lack of any national adversity since the end of the Great Depression, far too many have sought so-called meaning in their lives and for a cause to wholeheartedly and fervently embrace.  To countless Americans these movements became their religion and reason for being.  This mindset is unique among western democracies and it has been easily exploited by the American left -- a major factor in their rise to power and domination of the culture and government. 

As the left stealthily hijacked these causes, they were able to convince the True Believers in all these various movements that they stood with them; but more important was their ability to ingrain the conviction that anyone who opposed any of these evolving crusades was the incarnation of evil and must be defeated at all costs.  Political Correctness and its companion, unrestrained demonization of political opposition, was born.

The Government Family Album - Conservative Cartoon

From Chip Bok:

In variation on his “you didn’t build that” theme, President Obama told Ohio State grads to lose individual ambition and embrace their government. 

He implored them to reject:

“the voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s the root of all our problems…”

And while they’re at it, reject the idea of checks and balances because:

“we sometimes forget the larger bonds we share, as one American family.”

Enemy Within.. , Leaders, Factual Relations, Down Low Brother & More Conservatism

The Enemy from Within and the Enemy from Without:
   ...And then comes the fairy tale: if only (how much of the thinking on the left is qualified by this conditional construction!) we admit our failures, change our ways, give them [Muslims] what they want, and show them that we are nice people and just want to be friends, then they will respond accordingly, because they do not really mean us any harm, but are only responding to our provocations.  And we will love them, and they in turn will learn to love us.  And finally the world will be one happy place where everybody sits around the campfire singing kumbaya.
   This manner of thinking is very reminiscent of a starry-eyed animal lover who, thinking that the bear is so cute and cuddly, goes over to pet the bear and winds up getting seriously mauled...


SUCCINCT & POWERFUL! How to choose your leaders: ... select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain... Exo 18:21






 Homage to a Down Low Brother: 
   ...It will be said that 2013 was the year that the great dam burst open and America relented to the lure of homosexual normalization. And furthermore, what was not so long ago believed almost universally to be a perversion or neurosis is now heralded as a Profile in Courage. As for the Big Picture: this current Crusade of Behavioral Emancipation doubtlessly has been methodically engineered on many fronts so that it appears to have arrived on the wind organically to commence with the relentless buffeting of American culture into intimidated acquiescence. For whatever purpose, the normalization of polymorphous sexuality seems to harbor some Mystical Good for a utopian society of the future. Along with the faux virtues of Material Redistribution and Secular Humanism, Homosexual Normalization is an agenda that has been prepared for us by diverse yet interconnected nodes of media and political power. It is no secret that they have sleeplessly labored to both entice and engorge our collective consciousness with "happy thoughts" on gender homogeneity -- just look at your television programming if you still require evidence... if you can stomach it.
   Having finally tilted past critical mass and begrudgingly accepted the Great Cultural Divorce from revelation, tradition, nature and reason, how good it is to know that soon nothing will any longer be denied us as the exotic objects of our desires and passions. It is only now a matter of time before any combination of the diverse couplings and modes of being entertained by our darkened ingenuity can come into full flower; and who are we to pass judgment on that wondrous blessing?



"We may be thankful that frightened civil authorities ... have not managed to eradicate from the country the tradition of the possession and use of firearms, that profound and almost instinctive tradition of Americans. Luckily for us, our tradition of bearing arms has not gone from the country, the tradition is so deep and so dear to us that it is one of the most treasured parts of the Bill of Rights -- the right of all Americans to bear arms, with the implication that they will know how to use them." -- John Steinbeck

CULT[ural] Warfare... The more time passes, the more like a cult liberalism becomes.

By Jeffrey T. Brown at americanthinker.com

Imagine a closed, regressive, sometimes violent culture. Freedom of thought brings punishment. One is not encouraged to consider alternative views. One's place in the culture is determined by circumstances of birth, and he can never be otherwise defined than by such things as race, gender, and social status. Strict adherence to the code is enforced at the risk of severe repercussions. Only carefully cultivated and proscribed beliefs are acceptable, and others are strongly, even violently discouraged. The beliefs are not grounded in truth, and often are the product of bigotry and overt prejudice. Intolerance and self-righteousness are hallmarks of the culture. Only dogmas approved by the hierarchy are permitted to be repeated. Those who chant and believe them, while punishing those who do not, are faithful. They are rewarded with acceptance, financial benefits, and even fame. They are held up as examples of virtue. They are deemed heroic.

Opponents of the closed culture, however, are portrayed as dim-witted and slow-thinking, motivated by malice rather than wisdom or experience. Those who presume to profess a different faith have earned the privilege of being slandered and defamed by the culture. In this culture, religion and law are hopelessly blurred, so that the tenets of the culture's religion become policy. There are core beliefs which cannot be challenged or limited. Nonbelievers are infidels, and those who convert to conflicting beliefs are apostates.

The dishonest beliefs of the culture are forced into the minds of its children from the earliest age. Indoctrination motivates the educational system as well, which encourages prejudice against those who think differently while encouraging self-congratulation for one's own prejudices and false beliefs. The culture has decided it owns the children and will form them as they should be.

Those who do not adapt themselves to the closed culture are shunned, ostracized, publicly humiliated. They are treated as unworthy of existence alongside the virtuous practitioners of the closed culture. They are labeled the cult's "enemy"....
