Why Bother?

 By: Erick Erickson
I did not watch the Golden Globes this year. I did not watch the Grammys. I am not sure if I will watch the State of the Union address.
Why bother?
A thin skinned amateur who has been in office six years and still can’t grasp how to do his job will stand before an even more thin skinned Parliament of Whores and tell them he does not need them, while knowing he really does need them, while none of them truly want to be with each other, and all have lawyers ready to go bow before the black robed masters who’ll sit stone faced at the front of room knowing they really rule the joint.
My only hope is that the Republicans grow a pair and start laughing uncontrollably when the President begins touting Obamacare, which you know he will do and which you know they will not. Paging Steve Stockman — here’s your moment.

The State of the Union has become a pointless bit of laundry list stagecrap where everyone in D.C. gets to pretend they like each other and together will make magic before leaking how they hate each other and won’t get anything done worthwhile.
And you know what? I’m cool with that. I’d rather board up the whole place than have the Parliament of Whores and Captain Bulls— come together with their favorite Johns from K Street and Wall Street and enact Operation BOHICA on Main Street and the Middle Class.
The only people who can get ahead in Barack Obama and the GOP Establishment’s Washington are those who already have the deep pockets buy off Congress and the President. Neither party has a vested interest in changing it. But at least the GOP, for what little good it does these days, will tap the brakes on the joy ride to Gomorrah.

I truly hope you people are ready to go on offense. Instead of being defensive and hoping to get the GOP in control of the Senate, we need to go on offense and get control of the GOP itself. That’s the only way to turn the tide and it must be done by getting involved in your local party and by picking challengers across the country who you are willing to pray for, write checks for, knock on doors for, and fight for. Beat the GOP in primaries then storm through to the general election.
Otherwise it’s status quo and BOHICA.
This State of the Union, like Washington itself, promises to be soul sucking gamesmanship made only worse by having to suffer through the GOP response by somebody who will, regardless of the person, look like a deer in headlights and sound like snoring. They’ll promise to repeal Obamacare and start over. You should laugh. That’s the punch you in the face and beg you for cash line.

At least Mike Lee is going to give a conservative response. From that we might actually learn something. Everything else will just be stagecrap and showmanship by a merry band of profiteers.
Then every pundit can spend a couple days using fifty cent words acting like they know what the hell they are talking about and we can forget it all by next Monday.

Obama Confirms Hillary Lied About Benghazi, Releases Names of Terrorists Responsible

oped: rofl...right Barry here we go again throwing others under the proverbial bus...like you are not guilty also? Sorry you and Hillary can share a cell while wearing matching orange jump suits!

Over a year later, the Obama administration has finally confirmed that Islamic extremists were responsible for the terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in Sept. 2012.

This undermines then-Hillary Clinton’s State Department and its vehement denial that the Benghazi terrorist attack that was the result of an anti-Muslim YouTube video.

This morning, the State Department announced that the Muslim extremists group Ansar al-Sharia was responsible for the attacks. According to Secretary of State John Kerry, two branches of Ansar al-Sharia participated in the terrorist attack—the Benghazi branch and the Darnah branch. Darnah is a port city in Libya, approximately 180 miles northwest of Benghazi.

Ansar al-Sharia’s Tunisia branch was also behind an attack on Americans in Tunis last year.

Today, the State Department labelled all three branches of this organization as terrorist groups.

In a meeting that created headlines all over the world, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had a private summit with atheist collectivist billionaire George Soros, whom TV and radio personality Glenn Beck once dubbed as "Spooky Dude."
Soros is widely known for funding hundreds of leftist, collectivist political action organizations, including the infamous Center for American Progress, which he created specifically as a think-tank for Hillary Clinton. He has also advised Barack Obama to ignore Constitutional limits on his power in order to "rule by executive order."
The McCain-Soros meeting took place in Switzerland Saturday at the World Economic Summit attended by some 40 world leaders to discuss how to reinvigorate the global economy.
The burning question that arises from the McCain-Soros summit is what on earth is McCain doing meeting with a man who has openly condemned the Tea Party and those who support Constitutional limits on government, and encouraged the United States to adopt "global governance" under the auspices of the United Nations?

The answer to that question should not be far to find.
McCain is a globalist, a RINO, an elitist along with the rest of the elitist D.C. establishment consisting of the likes of Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Al Gore, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo, Rahm Emanuel and his brother Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, Jon Holdren, John Podesta, Eric Holder, Cass Sunstein, Valerie Jarrett, Lindsey Graham, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Kelly Ayotte, Chris Christie, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and a host of others.
Republicans in the mold of John McCain espouse views that are not that much different from Hillary, Gore, Kerry, and Podesta. It is no wonder, then, that he would meet with one of the world's richest financiers of globalism and elitist rule that is more closely akin to Marxism and Fascism than a free, self-governed society.
Soros and his minions want to disarm American citizens. They want to obliterate private property rights. They want presidents to have the power to ignore the rule of law and bypass Congress and the Courts in order to dictate law by executive order. They want to squelch the free speech of Constitutional patriots and religious leaders, particularly those who stand for the Christian virtue of liberty and the sovereignty of Israel. They want all banks under the control of the World Bank of the United Nations so they can be easily manipulated by billionaires such as Soros, who decide at will who will win and who will lose, including causing entire economies to implode.

The danger of the liaisons between American politicians and people like Soros is clear. All who get their hands dirty by shaking hands with the Devil are forever tainted by an evil every bit as lethal as the German Third Reich, the Lenin-Stalin dominance of the Soviet Union, and Chairman Mao's murderous, horrific reign over China after the Communist revolution.
But this is the Republican Party of today. The Party leadership is a like a pit of vipers...not as lethal as the Democrats, but still lethal. After all, down in the viper pit, 500 snakes is deadly indeed. A viper pit of only 100 snakes may not be quite as dangerous, but still dangerous enough to kill you.
Democrats are lethal to liberty. Every single one of them. But the Republicans, while not quite as lethal, are still lethal in that the conservatives are in a minority. The poison that has been injected into the entirety of the Democratic Party has also been injected into the Republican Party leadership. Were it not for a group of conservatives in the House, the Republicans would be just as bad.
This is where we are in America today with the two major Parties. The remedy for conservatives? Don't join or send money to the RNC. Send money directly to conservative candidates, bypassing the pit of vipers altogether.
