The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire
Obama’s jobs bill tackles the problem of rape and murder by giving the states $30 billion … for public school teachers.
Only $5 billion is even allotted to the police, but all we keep hearing about are the rapes and murders that Democrats are suddenly against (as long as being “against” rape and murder means funding public school teachers and not imprisoning or executing rapists and murderers).
Finally, did Flint use any money from Obama’s last trillion-dollar stimulus bill to hire more police in order to prevent rape and murder? No, Flint spent its $2.2 million from the first stimulus bill on buying two electric buses.
Even if what Flint really needed was buses and not cops, for $2.2 million, the city could have bought seven brand-new diesel buses and had $100,000 left over for streetlights.
Rather than reducing the rate of rape and murder, blowing money on “green” buses is likely to increase crime, since people will be forced to spend a lot more time waiting at bus stops for those two buses.
It’s going to be a long wait: The “green” buses were never delivered because the company went out of business — despite a $1.6 million loan from the American taxpayer.

Barack Obama Returning to Type
It’s baffling that anyone is surprised that Barack Obama is carrying on the way he is. His entire life has been about “us” and “them”. As a half-black kid living in Hawaii with a white grandmother of means, he undoubtedly had a difficult time fitting in. Though he more resembled the [often poorer] Polynesian and Filipino kids on Oahu, he went to a school mostly reserved for the privileged. But outside of school, who did he most feel connected with?
Fast forward to his time after university, in his role as a Community Organizer. What exactly does such a person do? One of Obama heroes, Saul Alinsky, provides a very frank explanation. The term he prefers with which to describe a Community Organizer is “Professional Outsider Agitator”. To agitate what? It’s very clear, though Obama’s protective guard in the mainstream media will never admit it, that the major goal of community organizers is to stir up and disrupt the cohesive societies they attack work in. That is what Barack Obama did then and is precisely what he is doing now. It is why he very much supports the loathsome, disgusting “Occupy” protesters. Can you think of any other American president who would support their stated objectives to destroy capitalism and demand that the government provide everything for free?
Though the sycophants on the Far Left refuse to acknowledge how incredibly wrong they were in supporting the past 3 years of an absolutely failed presidency, some past supporters are now seeing Obama’s destruction of America for what it truly is:
Lies, Damned Lies, And Michael Bryant
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Michael Bryant, attorney-general of Ontario (2003-2007);
Suicides. Suicides dropped dramatically in Canada thanks to the federal gun registry. Not only do statistics prove as much, it stands to reason that with improved gun safety comes decreased gun fatalities; with fewer tools-of-choice for suicides available, fewer suicides occur. It just makes sense.
Statistics Canada; (LGR became mandatory in ’03).
Related Michael Bryant statistic: Since the pit bull ban was enacted in 2005, pit bulls have killed fewer Ontarians than former attorney general Michael Bryant.
Fed Up With Nasty, Greedy Leftists
Being a way for awhile, I’m now catching up on Dennis Miller radio shows I’ve missed. Here’s one segment from this past Monday’s show that hit several chords with me. I also heard it shortly after talking with a longtime Vancouver friend of mine who has consistently voted Liberal/NDP/Green throughout his 40 years. But he recently lost his job, has bills and taxes mounting and is wising up to the fact that the promised land of the Left is not all it’s cracked up to be. Plus, the never ending “tent city” in the heart of downtown Losercouver is getting harder & harder to stomach.

Operation Fast and Furious
Is there nothing that Obama can’t do?
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is investigating to what extent the White House was aware of — or involved in — the “Fast and Furious” gunwalking scandal.
The committee recently requested to speak with former White House National Security Staffer Kevin O’Reilly….

The Remembered Few
A Polish World War II airman, believed to be the last surviving Polish pilot from the Battle of Britain, has died at the age of 97 in a Canadian nursing home. […]
Historian Adam Zamoyski — author of “The Forgotten Few: The Polish Air Force in the Second World War” — told The Associated Press that if Sawicz was the last surviving pilot from the 1940 battle it would close an important chapter in the war’s and Poland’s history.
He added that proving he is the last could be difficult, as there is no exact record of the pilots, who emigrated around the world after the war. Sawicz moved to Canada in 1957 where he worked in aviation.
At the start of World War II in 1939, Sawicz fought in Poland’s air defense against the invading German Nazis. At one point, he flew under German fire to carry orders to troops defending Warsaw.
Following the collapse of the city’s defense on Sept. 17, he joined Polish pilots fighting in France, but after Paris’ surrender in July he made his way — with tens of thousands of Polish airmen, soldiers and sailors — to Britain, making up the largest foreign military force in the country. Zamoyski said that some 17,000 Poles — pilots, mechanics and ground staff — served in the Polish air force in Britain at the time.
In the summer of 1940, Gen. Wladyslaw Sikorski — the head of Poland’s Government in Exile in London — signed an agreement with the British Government to form a Polish Air Force in Britain, of which Sawicz was to play his part.
