BACK TO THE PRESENT

George Offerman

It's now 3:30, no 6:30??? I'm not quite sure, but I know I'm sitting in front of my home computer, and know I didn't do an "I dream of Jeannie" move, and simply blink and was somewhere else.  I guess I'm not sure where I am, somewhat reminiscent of the Peter Frampton song "Do you feel like we do?" in that I don't know where I am.  I'm pretty sure I know where I was at 3:30 pm today, but have no idea how I got home in a flash and was able to post so quickly.   Maybe I should still be somewhere else, but I know I'm here, at home.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

George Offerman

This is meant for a select few.  Although I mean it to be satirical, I am hoping it is seen this way by those who have the most concern about 'time'.  You see, the time stamp on the bottom of this post will read at least an hour before certain information became privvy to me.  So, in essence, what I have stated from the onset is true, or I have a really cool time machine that allows me to go into the future to see what transpires. (I would rather have the cool time machine, but it's not going to happen)

Cheers all and will be getting back soon!

TEST

George Offerman

The current time is 4:22 pm    There seems to be some dispute about the times listed on these postings, and so this is a test (will explain later) 

ONE REAL CATHOLIC

George Offerman

Last night’s debate was unique and remarkable for many differing reasons, but the one that stood out for me was the huge distinctions between the two candidates when asked how their faith had personally formed them and how it affects their political decisions.  The moderator pointed out that this debate was a historical first, given both candidates are ‘Catholic’ and it would seem that Catholicism would have some influence on who they are as men, and how they go about making the political decisions that they do.  Outside of each candidate verbalizing they are Catholic; there couldn’t be more of a contrast than what was witnessed by their words.

Paul Ryan had the distinction of going first to this question, and the Congressman answered the question like one would if he believed in God as supreme being and accepted the fact that those who proclaim to being Catholic have certain tenets that are non negotiable and sacred.  Mr. Ryan’s position was very solid and articulate, and he was able to verbalize the Church’s teachings and positions on issues like abortion as one who claims to be Catholic ought to do.  Mr. Ryan was abundantly clear that if one truly believes life starts at conception, and that life is a divine right, that no one has the authority to take this from another.

Joe Biden also reiterated he was a ‘lifelong practicing Catholic’ and too, believes in the fact that life starts at conception.  However, where Mr. Biden fell apart and followed the ‘liberal logic’ is his insisting ‘I can’t inflict my beliefs onto others’ and have ‘no right to tell a woman what to do with her body’.  Mr. Biden then goes on to demonstrate how no one really has a ‘right to demagogue’ in matters of faith, and in essence attempted to separate personal beliefs from the duty to govern, or to be qualified to be effective in the political process.  So, for Mr. Biden, he can be Catholic when it comes to Sunday Mornings, and going to Holy Communion, but don’t bother him with anything that resembles faith when in the public venue.

Why this seems so remarkable on the surface is the fact that Mr. Biden and his crony criminal in chief partner have no difficulties at all ‘imposing their values and beliefs’ onto the American people.  What does one call mandatory participation in hell care?  What does one call all of the insane laws and regulations of getting on an airplane?  What about paying taxes?  Or, how about the ‘right’ to make over 1 million dollars per year and being forced to ‘pay a little more’ so the rest who are not as ‘lucky’ get a piece of the action?  Mr. Biden had no problem chastising those high income earners, and seemed to have no restraint in stating they will pay more.

It was also interesting (with the help of the ‘mediator’) how Biden sidestepped Mr. Ryan’s question about the criminal in chief’s administration ‘imposing’ onto the Catholic Church the requirement to provide birth control and other ‘reproductive services’ to its employees, as well as offer these services to their clientele.  Biden didn’t even attempt to answer this question, and immediately went onto a personal attack at how Mr. Ryan is ‘imposing’ his beliefs onto others, and he along with his crony administration is ‘proud’ of this.  So, according to Biden, the only requirement to be Catholic is to just declare it so, and then do whatever is on one’s heart to do.  (Isn’t that an imposition of Biden’s definition onto all believers?)

In Mr. Ryan’s view of Catholicism, one needs to fight for the less fortunate and those such as the unborn, who are unable to fight for themselves.  For Mr. Biden, Catholicism is something you do on Sunday and leave it in the church pew when exiting after receiving Communion.  The Catholicism of Mr. Biden is that of a social status; it’s merely out of habit of going and has little to no substance.  Mr. Ryan appears to take his faith seriously enough that he understands the causality and linkages of violating God’s laws to the very apparent consequences of this action.  It is in this distinction that we saw who the real Catholic was, and it happened to be the one who behaved himself and treated another who was being extremely disrespectful and disruptive when the real Catholic explained his position.

SAVING BIG BIRD?

George Offerman

With everything falling apart and crises everywhere, the criminal in chief decides that Romney’s proposed cuts to PBS is way more important than…  well, everything else going on.  It is interesting that Obama has nothing better to do than focus on the ‘fate’ of big bird, a children’s character that in many ways epitomizes the nature of many of the grown up ‘children’ in this country.  However, what is more pathetic is the fact that while Obama wants to focus on children’s entertainment, he did not think enough about the real lives of those he could have saved at the Libyan embassy last month.  No, Obama is not much good when living in the real world, but has the make believe world down pat.

This crisis, or I should say ongoing crime is finally taking root in the MSM.  It appears there is nowhere to hide for the criminal in chief and his minions who need to be held accountable for this unspeakably outrageous crime and subsequent cover up of gross misconduct.  (BTW the poll numbers for the criminal in chief are still at 47%)  Yeah, if the criminal in chief actually gave a sh-t about people like he does big bird, things might really have ‘changed’ in this country and for the better.  As it is, the criminal in chief will be campaigning to ‘save big bird’ and might as well say ‘to hell with the ambassador’ given that the criminal in chief’s actions shout from the rooftops, and can’t be denied by anyone residing in any type of reality.

In fact, if people have been paying any sort of attention, the criminal in chief’s behavior could not be any more surprising.  With the total black out of this man’s past, there is no way to be sure that he ahs any of the credentials he claims to have and this man has demonstrated very openly over the past 4 + years he is not very intelligent.  Without a teleprompter, he cannot put cohesive thoughts together, and even with a teleprompter, as evidence 2 years ago, ended up reading a speech of a visiting dignitary for over 5 minutes before an embarrassed staff member stopped him.  His biggest apologist George Stephanopoulos said “Obama was joking” despite all of the video showing an intense Obama complete with hand gestures.

This is why the criminal in chief got his goose cooked during the debate.  This man cannot think for himself, cannot remain cool when someone of any intelligence challenges him in real time, but especially when called out on his pathetic record.  Now that we have four years of official record from the man of ‘change’ we can objectively look at the promises made and those kept.  There is no where to hide, and the utter failure of this man’s tenure as president cannot be hidden, except to attack his opponent with trying to eliminate a fictional character on a taxpayer subsidized television network.  It would seem that the next couple of debates will be bloodbaths for the criminal in chief unless he can come up with many red herrings or slip ups from the other guy.

If the goal of the debates is to bring about discussions of real problems and real solutions to the problems, the criminal in chief has no prayers of winning.  This man’s record is horrible and to recount what the promises were, absolutely none of them were kept, except for the total takeover of 1/6^th of the economy by passing his hell care law.  The country is in way worse shape financially, economically, morally, but especially employment wise and freedom wise.   This man cannot talk about his record, because he has struck out on all of his proposed changes that supposedly would have helped out the middle class.  Only the delusional can believe they are better off now than in 2009 when the criminal in chief took over.

At the end of the day, it is not the criminal in chief that will save big bird.  It will be the criminal in chief’s strategy to rile up the few percentage points of independent voters who may have their ‘heart strings’ played by focusing on a fictional character and seeing the ‘chosen one’ come in and ‘save’ big bird.  It will be the image of big bird that will save the criminal in chief, as it epitomizes the reality of the situation:  fiction will save one who is pushing fiction as reality.  Forget all this talk about Wall Street versus Main Street.  To the criminal in chief we all live on Sesame Street and that’s the ‘reality’ he will stick with.

47%

George Offerman

I have to start this post with a disclaimer: I am no admirer of Mitt Romney and do not plan on voting for either of these globalists come November 6^th.  Frankly, the way Ron Paul was manhandled in both the primary and especially at the airport near the Republican convention validated any doubts I may have had about the Republican nominee, and I will not vote for the ‘lesser’ of two evils, which is still evil.  I abhor anyone who wants to destroy this country, whether it is a bullet to the head that Obama would do, or eat the poisoned apple and die slowly that Romney would do.

That is specifically why I paid no attention to this ‘47% scandal’ when it came out, and only heard of it for the first time during an Obama commercial last week.  Both my wife and I heard it at the same time and we both had the same reaction to it: Romney was actually telling the truth about this part of America, and I could not disagree with any of his words.  Frankly, that frightened me as I really believed I wouldn’t ‘believe’ anything said by either candidate.  With that being said, I will demonstrate to you, dear reader, why Romney’s words are true.

The primary allegation with the 47% is that they will vote for Obama no matter what he does, and that this number in essence, is written off as supporting Romney and his positions.  True, or not?   I’ve been watching the poll numbers daily for the past several months, and Obama has not gone below 47%, but has never been higher than 52%.  Many very significant events and incidences have occurred that would have sunk many presidents, but this guy seems to have a consistent resiliency that I have not seen since the Slick Meister was in office.  Why is that?

Evidently, it doesn’t matter that the Libyan ambassador was brutally murdered by a mob on the anniversary of 9-11, in which both the White House and Secretary of State Clinton were warned of, and did nothing about and then subsequently covered up their inactions.  Evidently it doesn’t matter that the DHS under Obama has ordered over 1.4 BILLION HOLLOW POINTED ROUNDS of ammunition for DOMESTIC USE.  Evidently, it doesn’t matter that Obama pushed for, and was given the provision in the NDAA legislation, the ability to detain indefinitely, torture and/or execute an American without cause.  Evidently it does not matter that Obama has run the largest deficits in this country’s history year after year, has the worst employment record, the highest number of unemployed, those on food stamps and those on ‘disability’.  Evidently, it does not matter that we are ready to experience the greatest tax increases in our nation’s history and will gut those who create jobs that PAY THE TAXES.   And evidently, it does not matter that Obama promised to end the two “Bush” wars and close Gitmo on his first day in office and in fact, got us into 4 more skirmishes and expanded prisons and space for ‘enemy combatants.  What can it be then?

Could it be the never ending mantra of the one time ‘community organizer’ telling those ‘less fortunate’ that they ‘deserve a chance’ to be paid for by those ‘that made it’.  Could it be the fact that the sitting president openly stated that ‘no one ever made it on their own, but had help from some government entity’?  Could it be that ‘redistribution of wealth’ is the job of government, and government determines who the winners and losers are?  Could it be that a large segment of the population has been conditioned to believe they are innocent victims of a corrupt corporate world, and through no fault of their own, cannot make it without the help of the government?  Could it be that the goodies keep coming and without four more years of the community organizer, the goodie bag will be taken away and these people would actually have to be responsible for themselves?

Now why is it that a large minority of people can see the wanton destruction of our way of life, massive restrictions on freedom, an increase in wars and increases in taxes and ‘redistribution’ of wealth from producers?  Because they believe they have the right to be taken care of by the government, and they will never criticize or ‘bite the hand that feeds them’.  As long as that ‘gubmint chek’ comes in, it doesn’t matter what happens to the rest of society or world, just as long as “I get mine”, I will vote for the person who gives ME the most.   That’s exactly what Obama has done over the past four years, and the 47% benefitting from this goodie bag giveaway will NEVER vote to stop this.

If anyone takes the time to look at what is going all around him, he will become very aware that there are 47% of the people that are not affected by the larger picture of what is going on in this country, but are totally consumed by what they are getting.  It doesn’t dawn on these people that in order to receive a dollar in ‘benefits’ that a dollar needs to be taken from someone first.  I suspect that even if they did know, they wouldn’t care, and they definitely are not grateful towards those who pay for these individuals to consume and not produce or contribute towards the betterment of society.  No, the majority of these folks buys into Obama’s ‘class warfare’ propaganda, and calls anyone looking at the ‘entitlement’ scheme ‘mean spirited’.  “Wow, Romney actually wants us to be responsible for ourselves?  WHAT A MEAN, COLD HEARTED, CRUEL BASTARD!”

Yep.  It’s all about the goodie bag and what these people can get for nothing.  It’s all about shirking personal responsibility and blaming others for poor decisions made.  Obviously anyone can have a bad run of luck, but the opportunity to better oneself without getting penalized by some overzealous socialist should not be allowed to exist in this country, but it has now become a way of life.   The proof is no further than the severe restrictions of freedom levied on us by Obama, and the lack of protest from these 47% in limiting freedoms on those who produce.
