* Obama has a new budget proposal! And he projects a deficit of $1.33 trillion. He’s getting really serious about tackling that debt, isn’t he? But we have to spend that extra money to get all the great… I have no idea where all that money goes. Apparently, the more awful government gets, the more expensive it is to keep up. Maybe we should pay for less awful government, but I’m not politician so what do I know?
* Obama is going to set up Truth Teams. I assume their purpose will be to hunt down and destroy any truths they can find as those could be quite destructive to Obama’s reelection chances. If people actually look at Obama’s performance and ability and the results he’s obtained, he has little chance or reelection. Thus his Truth Teams will eliminate truths when they find them and try and muddy things up so people might actually considered reelecting the miserable failure. Truth is another one of those things like freedom that gets in the way of truly important things like free contraception.
* Mitt Romney won the CPAC straw poll. Does that mean anything? Probably not, but it’s better than not winning.
It looks like the only hope left for a not-Romney is Santorum… either through him winning the primary or forcing a brokered convention. It’s not a huge chance of happening, but it’s not a remote one either.
Still don’t get how we dropped the ball on this primary, though, with all the conservative enthusiasm to take down Obama and finally do something about the debt. If we want to get things done, we’re always best working outside of politics. Nothing there but heartache and disappointment and sociopaths.
* Andrew Breitbart claims he has video of Obama in college. Yes, the mysterious college years of which we’ve still never seen the transcripts. So what’s the chance Obama was some complete screw up in college opposed to American values… because that would be totally different than what he is now.
* Apparently there’s an obesity problem in the military. It’s probably all that lazy sniping where you just lie on the ground hundreds of yards away from the enemy and shoot them. We just need more hand to hand combat. If our soldiers had to stop lying around and actually run those hundreds of yards to hack the enemy to pieces with katanas, then everyone would be in better shape. Plus katanas are awesome. The military should have those.
* This has to be the greatest indictment of liberalism yet: It makes you believe the Star Wars prequels are better than the original trilogy.
* New Crowder video — first in a while — with him rapping about the situation our country has found itself in:
There’s a lot we need to change in this country. I guess rapping would be the first step.
* Talking about changing the country, I’ve finished the first draft of my book on how to fix all the problems in America. I’m excited for you all to see it, but it will still probably be a while. Get pumped!
Well, Jar-Jar Binks is almost as annoying and incoherent as an OWS protester.
“More fruits and vegetables”, my arse. This from the same people who subsidize high-fructose corn syrup and, more importantly, tell public schools to call pepperoni pizza a vegetable.
The problem with this country’s nutrition is that we have too much highly processed foods. And that is due to government interference in the market place. Imbecilic Democrats subsidize bad food and then blame us for eating what’s most economical.
Wasn’t there something about a “Ministry of Truth” i n some book I read back in high school that was meant as a warning about socialist utopias? I don’t think its required reading anymore….it’s been replaced by that book about 2 princes who love eachother very much but I digress. I don’t think “1984” was meant to be hsed as a blueprint for American government. Obviously Obama’s sub par schooling in Indonesia is to blame for this lack of reading comprehension. Altough he seems to be pretty clear on that whole “we hate the Jews” thing they have going in over there.
The prequels were better than the originals just because there is moral ambiguity in some of the characters and situations? So that’s a +1, maybe if that’s your kind of thing, but I don’t think that overcomes all the negatives about everything else in the prequels.
It’s crap like that which makes people hate liberals. Also the MURIKKKA DUMB stuff in there too.
So the way to reduce the obesity problem outside of the military is to change the nutrition inside it? That’s dumb even for a liberal. But so it is with Obama.
“I have no idea where all that money goes.”
I’ve worked for the State of New York, and contracted for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. One can comprehend the rate at which New York wastes money only if one has a grasp of differential calculus.
As for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — and this is quite literally something I can only share anonymously — a friend and I took great risks to blow the whistle on a $20 million scam. The Boston Globe wasn’t interested because **$20 million isn’t news**. A lawyer representing whistle blowers wasn’t interested because we didn’t yet have enough unimpeachable evidence. Then, there were the anonymous meetings with the Commonwealth’s financial ombudsman. He always wanted another meeting, and then after that another meeting. Then, another meeting.
I’m not exaggerating about the risk. It’s not wise to get between the wrong people and their money. It’s also not wise to risk your entire career (my friend’s) while you have 3 girls headed into college.
The program in question was a wonderful idea that was designed to help children.
Bitter?
Watching local NY news this morning. Scrawl on bottom of screen said that Obama was going to release hid budget today that would cut the deficit. I had to leave before the story itself ran — having, you know, work to do — but what are the odds that it actually said the big jerk is spending 1.33 trillion bucks more than we take in? And this cuts the deficit?
If we can’t get the information out to the independent voter somehow, we are doomed. The news media is now in the business of NOT reporting news.
Crowder be legit, y’all! “Now I’m spittin cyphers through a grill made of wood”… classic!
An Obama Truth Team… that sounds a lot like the Fire Department in “Fahrenheit 451” to me.

You wrote “It looks like the only hope left for a not-Romney is Santorum… either through him winning the primary or forcing a brokered convention. It’s not a huge chance of happening, but it’s not a remote one either.”
Ok. So why are you not supporting Santorum? As a self-published conservative author, a NY Post guest columnist, and the writer of a blog with literally DOZENS of rabid followers, your endorsement could make a difference, and prevent Romney from seizing the nomination.
Moreover, again I ask. WHAT IS WRONG WITH SANTORUM? I mean, other than the whole Google thing, of course.
You also wrote: “If we want to get things done, we’re always best working outside of politics.”
What does this even mean? Does it mean volunteering at your church? Does it mean Occupy Wall Street type tactics? Or are we talking about Timothy Mcveight type stuff?
As a citizen of these great United States of America, don’t you have a duty to participate in the political process and make your voice heard? And if this process is broken somehow, isn’t it your duty to try and fix it?
Or are you just going to sit on your butt, play Skyrim, and watch as the current incompetent. freedom-hating, socialist, Muslim, teleprompter-dependent, bad college grades getting, president gets four more years?
I am just glad the founders are not alive to hear such negative, dare I say “unpatriotic” sentiments.

P.S. It is morning in America! Four More Years!!!!!!
As if I needed another reason to hate liberals. Some liberal douchebag claims the Star Wars prequels are better than the originals because the originals were too clear cut in the good-vs-evil motif? If Star Wars fans were as crazy as muslims, they would have instantly declared a fatwah on this blaspheming imbecile and ordered his head cut off. Which, frankly, would be a well deserved punishment.
I was glad to see however that every single comment on the article that I saw vigorously disagreed with the author. He may be the only person in the universe that thinks the prequels were better than the originals. For the sake of humanity, such a mental midget should not be allowed to reproduce.
Hey, old people, remember the Evil Empire? Remember how the Soviet newspaper Pravda was the official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party? Remember how “Pravda” means “Truth?” Remember how ironic we all found that fact? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?
Barack Hussein Obama – the Pravda President!
MFL is almost right — if we get four more years of Obama, it will be mourning in America.
Mxymaster: OR….maybe happiness will be mandatory 🙂
Lucas needs to quit smoking so much ganja. he’s getting to the paranoid/delusional state.
I gotta agree Mxymaster…four more years of Obama should definitely put the country into a sad state of…mourning in America.

That wasn’t a warning, blarg. It was a how-to manual.
“Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the
SpiesOccupy movement they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party.”-George Orwell
Plus katanas are awesome. The military should have those.
THat settles it. Frank J. in 2016!!!
