A deadly trifecta

The 1960’s hippies, protesters, and draft dodgers are running the country now!
The Trifecta
Obama - - Kerry - - Holder
Doesn't it just give you a warm and fuzzy feeling all over too?
PASS IT ON...
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government,
our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."

"Why does ValJar get Secret Service protection?"
-- "Because Obama's afraid that if she dies, HE will have to be President."
And John Kerry, why would anyone ever elect someone that there are still questions about his actions during Viet Nam (Vietnam as we knew it). Could they not come up with someone without that kind of baggage. Just look how he's performing around the world, they are all laughing at him again and he's making thing worse just like he did for Viet Nam. He and this administration should be telling the Jews to just kick ass until those missiles stop coming in to Israel, period, but John's theory is to put your tail between your legs and let them blow up your family so it looks better.
Holder, what can anyone say, he should be brought up on charges of treason against the people. It so obvious he's a racist, or does racism only go one way? Those two thugs in front of that polling place with the batons is the image that always pops up in my mind when I think about him.
Again, these are just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Nancy Pelosi is seriously in need of a mental exam. She is an automaton, clearly devoid of any kind of intelligence or moral fortitude. A bobble head idiot spouting whatever garbage is fed into her empty head. These people are threats to the United States. They are treasonous and dangerous, and have been unchecked in their voracious need for power. Wake up people! Things are getting very dicey.
Mark my words, before 1/20/17 there will be a national crisis that "requires" suspension of much of the constitution and if not before the election (which would require suspension of elections), then it will be cause for suspension of the transfer of power in order to ensure continuity of power to handle the crisis. Mark my words.
Some of us are too old or too physically ill to survive what's coming, but for the sake of your families, prepare.
Hope you're doin' well. Had one of them artery clogging burgers with bacon and some cheese curds a week or two back (my one time indulgence for the summer).

And, have we ever allowed it to extort from us. As a country, we not only elected evil and evil's cohorts, we celebrated their existence. Even most conservatives to this day, have a difficult time ascribing the degree of evil to those in power in Washington. They still find excuses such as "They didn't understand the consequences...etc." It's as if they would like to portray the Obama regime as a sort of force of nature. Americans must be made to realize that these people, the ones currently in power, are not delusional. They have an agenda and they are carrying it out. And, whether or not they believe it to be right or wrong, because of the consequences alone, they have to know it is bad, and yet they persist. One word for that -- EVIL.
Point taken though, the inmates surely are running the asylum.well I don't know if that fits but we certainly cannot take much comfort with this motley crew being in power.
But sure is a great day!
Holder had the job before, I think he was nominated because he is a known-quantity.
I agree. Let others appraise my skin color and imagine meaning out of my Albanian appearance. We should just get stuff done. They'll come up with the group narrative after the fact. What does PCM stand for, politically correct something?
But as soon as there's some kidnapping or investment fraud and the nearest gov't wants to station advisers on a free state, they're all on the same side.
BTW, if the Gulch is just a plot device, what does that make galtsgulchonline ? A virtual plot device ?
I'd love a reset, but I wish there were some way to do it other than a natural disaster or national calamity of such magnitude to force the change.

I think it has to do with the oath that they take - they don't swear allegiance to, and to protect and defend, Potus and his rulemakings and decisions, but this thing called the Constitution and to defend against ALL enemies, foreign and Domestic.
It's street gang mentality - if you not part of our family, you the enemy. Since they're not loyal, proven, and vetted Obama-ists, they're outsiders.
My thought is they didn't follow the politics of the CiC ergo they were "asked" to "retire" so the political machine can roar on through... with the ones who swore an oath to protect and defend the whim of the fuehrer...
When you get to that stage of your career in the military, its well known that you have to play politics to stand fast and keep your job. Been that way for years, no, decades. Whats sad is the politics are anything but American they're being asked to play.
He never uses 2 words where he can drone on with 100 instead.
Pettifogging requires lots and lots of zero value babbling. And if nothing else you win when you audience falls into a stupor because then you inflict your crap by what is effectively hypnosis
The so-called "hippies" were a broad and nebulous trend over the course of a decade. Typifying it well would require a book; and many have been written. I understood a revolt against conformity, both corporative and govenrmentalist and the combination of the two, of course. "Hippies" included the high-tech craft workers who created the Apple computer in particular and the computer revolution in general. The Peoples' Computer Company of Berkeley sponsored in part by the Portola Institute and the Whole Earth Catalog put a computer terminal in a storefont to give cybernetic "power to the people."
Is that what you oppose?
John Kerry was a soldier in uniform who stood up and stood out in protest. Meanwhile Bill Clinton and George Bush took two easy ways out. Think of Kerry as you please, he never denied his actions - "I never inhaled..." He stood up for his beliefs. That, too, was part of the hippie thing of the 1960s and people died for it. Innocent kids at Kent State and protestors at Jackson State were gunned down by corporatists-militarist soldiers obedient to orders. Do you want the current generation of soldiers to obey orders when the time comes to confront you for your hippie individualist self-indugent refusal to serve the needs of society?
But I like the rest of your last paragraph.
We 90s "slackers", cynics, and irreverent people will be there before we know what happened. :) The generational stereotypes are that accurate.
I'm thrilled to have President Obama and his appointees in charge, BUT it makes us complacent. I almost want someone I disagree with as president so the protesting can start back up. I predict people will frequently say, "Who set this and that outrageous precedent? Obama? Why weren't we outraged then?"
Why do you say that? I don't have the flood-myth fetish. I think things are good, and the ending of AS is a warning that liberty is not the default condition for humankind; and if liberty collapses, so might all the amazing stuff we created.
I believe that President Obama is a good leader and supporter of liberty, at least compared to other mainstream choices. I would love to get a moderate but non-mainstream person/party vowing to reduce Exec branch powers, reduce gov't intrusiveness, reduce gov't size, and reduce either money in politics or the tendency for special interests to lobby for a slice of the gov't-spending pie. Compared to someone like that, President Bush or Obama would be horrible, but as mainstream choices go, I think he's a good and smart person trying to do a good job running the exec branch.
I wish he were weaker in some ways and not expanding exec branch power. That's the biggest problem I have with him. He's just carrying on the trend. Neglecting that trend, he seems to be a good person, at least from what I can tell of him. I've never met him, and I don't follow gov't policy that closely.
"He has pushed thru policies that are wreaking havoc on the economy and then he plays golf as if all is well."
I think the economy is fine (not thanks to any president) and things basically are well, not counting the issues of liberty, gov't intrusivness, and exec over-reach. Those are huge issues, but I can live with President Obama not personally solving them.
"His foreign policy is simply trying to undo American influence regardless of the consequences."
I actually want to decrease US influence in some ways. He's not doing enough IMHO. Regarding Syria he said something to the effect of we're the only ones with the huge military to do something about the conflict, so it's up to us. I really wish it weren't. Having a huge military budget means an endless search for foreign dragons to slay. I want US influence further reduced, at least militarily.
It's unfortunate that I don't feel like I get good info on the issues you pointed out like his appointments. It may be his appointing people for political reasons promoting political agendas instead of doing their jobs. Or maybe he's just appointing good people who happen to be left leaning in their ideology. It bothers me that I get just the surface. There is probably some non-partisan weekly summary I could sign up for, but I don't know where it is.
Reducing our military abroad is something we agree on.
The US can be a force of good without using our military if we have a strong and stable economy. Keynesian policies that Obama blindly follows always fail. They only result in more power for the government.
His appointments have been horrible. From the Fast and Furious scandal to Benghazi to the IRS it is clear that this administration feels they are above the law. I hope that changes soon.
I THINK IT IS TIME YOU LEAVE.
You're too smart to actually believe what you said. Please take you propaganda elsewhere.

The President is just an Empty Suit. He says what he is told to say by those who put him there, including Costco CEO Jim Sinegal who defended their pulling Dinesh D'Souza's book here: http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstec...
Laissez faire means just that.
CircuitGuy's statement compared Barack Obama to the other mainstream choices. Even Leonard Peikoff has advocated voting Democratic. if you accept the pro-life premise of the person, then you can disagree with the vote, but not the motive.
Marijuana legalization might decrease gang violence, but it might not as well. The consequences of that are not entirely clear to me. What it could do is remove the need for the ridiculously wasteful war on drugs.
Hahaha!
Prohibition also causes the potency of these intoxicants to increase dramatically. Prior to prohibition alcohol in the US was principally beer and wine. Yes there were distilled spirits, but they didn't command much of the marketplace. With the enactment of prohibition, beer was too voluminous for the amount of alcohol, so distilled spirits gained in popularity - and since much of it was not very well quality controlled, adding other things to it to mask the taste created the cocktail. And potency, so that more alcohol per unit volume, increased dramatically. It also led to the crime gangs like Capone, Moran, and the mob families in NY/NJ. Once alcohol prohibition was repealed, most of that control by gangs was abated. The same would occur with "recreational drugs" in my humble opinion.
You cannot protect someone from themselves. If they are intent on destroying themselves, they will find a way.
One good thing about the marijuana issue is *maybe* it could be a step toward thinking from "should the gov't allow activity X" to "should we grant the gov't permission to control activity X".
"reduce Exec branch powers, reduce gov't intrusiveness, reduce gov't size, and reduce either money in politics or the tendency for special interests to lobby for a slice of the gov't-spending pie." However, Obama does none of those things. He is more antithetical to Ayn Rand values than any president in US history by far over LBJ, Woodrow Wilson, and the Roosevelts. And just to be clear, I rank George W Bush near the bottom of the president list as well.
I do not think that Barack Obama is the epitome of evil, except as an empty suit. He is just a product of forces. As you and jbrenner both know: d'Alembert's Principle applies to politics - the sum of the forces is zero. In my criminology and sociology classes, I met a lot of girls like him.
It is funny (or not) how Ayn Rand and the conservatives led by Buckley all condemned President Kennedy, while now JFK is recognized as a conservative for standing up to Moscow, for launching the Green Berets and escalating in Viet Nam, and even as is claimed having been assassinated by the Federal Reserve because he wanted to launch a silver-backed Treasury note.
Obama is not my favorite president. He is near the bottom, in fact, but he is down there in good company with Chester Allen Arthur (also lacking proof of citizenship), Millard Fillmore, James Tyler, and Meddler-in-Chief Herbert ("Brave New World") Hoover.
I remember my wife and I talking about him in '07. She wanted Hillary to get the nomination. I wanted Obama or Ron Paul. If they both won their parties' nominations, I didn't know which one I would vote for. My wife said he carries on about Change but DC will change him more than he changes it. My wife worked for DoJ and a famous DC law firm in the 90s and became disillusioned with gov't. Her prediction has held true.
Please leave.
-1 for you.
I don't have any collectivist thoughts or feelings.
