Once more, a veil is lifted, exposing the true nature of Barack Obama.

Taking another shot at Israel’s national security concerns, he displays a dangerous version of Emerson’s “…a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…”

How scary is it that America’s president doesn’t understand the difference between ‘foolish consistency’ and consistency? Especially where foreign policy is concerned.

And, telling by its absence from Obama’s reference, is the remainder of that quote “…adored by little statesmen, and philosophers, and divines.”

LITTLE STATESMEN…strikes a bit too close to home, for this ‘Elitist-in-Chief’.

Merriam-Webster’s 2nd definition of ‘hobgoblin’ is ‘something causing fear, worry’.

‘Foolish consistency’…’hobgoblin’…’little statesmen’…

Ironic that, by torturing Emerson…

…Obama exposes himself as a classic example of what Emerson disdained.

It took 1 sentence before the AP reports the times are NOT a-changin’ at the VA…

“A year after Americans recoiled at revelations that sick veterans were getting sicker while languishing on waiting lists, VA statistics show that the number of patients facing long waits has not declined, even after Congress gave the department an extra $16.3 billion last summer to shorten waits for care.” (emphasis added)

$16.3 billion in 8 months… yet nothing improved for veterans seeking health care.

Makes you wonder where Obama’s VA fatcats spent the money, doesn’t it?

And don’t bother trying to find any information in that 2465-word article on how the $16 billion was spent…somehow, AP doesn’t get around to reporting that.

No surprise there – as a liberal news agency busy carrying Obama’s water for 6+ years, it’s typical they’d slam southern (GOP) states…while covering for him.

But the question’s worth repeating: where did Obama’s VA spend the $16 billion? Has he already approved the VA diverting funds, without Congress’s okay?

(You’d think a news media could track down spending that’s less than a year old.)

Hello-o-o…Republicans…anybody out there…?

A Federalist article sums up the vehement shallowness of gay-rights militants.

The author brilliantly dissects the movement as ‘seeking halos without sacrifice’.

But that dissection can also be applied to the Democrats’ militant behavior over civil rights in general…their death-grip on Black support at the polls is well known.

Behind their inevitable, incessant accusations of ‘racism’ towards GOP opponents is a phenomena that can best be described as ‘Emancipation Envy’.

For Democrats, having a legacy of militant segregation, Jim Crow laws, Bull Connor tactics, and the KKK, isn’t easy to deal with…especially when it’s well known (or at the very least, should be) that the Republican Party started on an anti-slavery issue.

Every time a Democrat raises the bogus spectre of ‘racism’, their GOP opponent is right to proclaim that ‘Emancipation Envy’ has once again risen its ugly head.

Democrat politicians ‘seeking halos without sacrifice’ should learn their place.

The Republican Party was built on anti-slavery foundations.

The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, ended slavery…

…with the Emancipation Proclamation as the crowning glory of Republican efforts.

Proclaim it proudly.

Sorry Democrats…that halo belongs to Republicans…

(hat tip to Hans Fiene, for the creative inspiration)

NASA crazies are on the loose, predicting discovery of life elsewhere by 2025.

But, maybe there’s a reason why intelligent life hasn’t been found yet…

…one look at Earth’s global circus would make anything hide.

Deroy Murdock, black journalist, DESTROYS any illusions of a successful ‘first black president’, with 1 question: ‘what did blacks gain giving Obama 93%+ of their vote?’

In that regard, Obama’s failures are epic…

• Black American unemployment 10.1% (Black teenagers, 25%);
• Black American Labor-Force-Participation rate, down;
• Black American poverty level, higher;
• Black American median household income, down;
• Black American home ownership levels, down;
• Food stamp recipient levels, dramatically higher.

In the meantime…

• Earnings/income for the top 1% of Americans – up;
• Big Corporation profits – up;
• Stock market – up;
• America’s global image – down;
• Trust in America, from allies – down;
• Nuclear aspirations of the world’s leading terror nation – up.

Under Obama, race relations are at their worst point in decades; trust in the rule of law in general (and law enforcement in particular) has deteriorated dramatically.

Crony capitalism has soared to new heights, and racial tension has worsened.

A very steep price has been paid…for ethnic pride.

But politicians seem not to worry…if there’s a ‘(d)’ after their name.

Obamacare failures, Fast-&-Furious, IRS scandals, Benghazi…nothing could dent ethnic pride: Obama lost a mere 2% of the black vote in his 2012 re-election.

For Republicans in 2016, the only question that remains…

…is there ANY failure over the Obama years that will trump ethnic pride?

It’s amazing that today in America, land of self-governance and respect for the rule of law, the question still remains regarding what nation to trust in the Middle East.

On the one hand there’s Israel, that region’s only democracy.

On the other hand, there’s Iran, the global leader in exportation of terrorism.

Israel (democracy) is a nuclear power; Iran (terror-state) wants to be as well.

In a sane world, how is it we’re seeing a scenario play out where America’s leader admits to making a deal with the global exporter of terrorism… to go nuclear?

How is it an American president claims Congress has no right to get involved with negotiations, when negating Congress-invoked sanctions is part of the deal?

The most radical, raging anti-Semite among us must worry about a nuclear Iran.

Invoke the flaws of Israel if you must, but isn’t a flawed democracy preferable to a ‘trail-of-lies’ psychopathic terror-state given a path to nuclear capabilities?

Finally, left facing Obama’s ‘deal’ and the back of his hand, as Iran declares Israel’s destruction as non-negotiable, Israel’s choice is conventional preemption now…

…or nuclear deterrence in the very near future.

What possible logic refutes these bottom-line concepts?

As more GOP presidential hopefuls announce their 2016 candidacy, it’s obvious the Left-leaning Media will try to force them into attacking each other, pre-primary.

This serves their purpose in several ways…

• diverting attention away from failures of Democrat administration policy;
• revealing potential flaws of Republicans during the GOP infighting; and
• shielding Democrat presidential hopefuls from damaging critiques.

If Republican 2016 hopefuls want their emerging victor to be at his/her strongest once the primary season ends, it would serve them well to resist going for GOP throats during the fight for their Party’s nomination as the Republican candidate.

Avoid media baiting, emphasize one’s strengths, and Democrat weakness/failures.

Beyond primary GOP battlefields…the ultimate battlefield is against a Democrat.

Never expend all the ammo in preliminary firefights, when a major battle looms.

We posted the question 7 days ago, asking the question…

…Why an ignored deceit in the Left’s anti-religious freedom rant?

It’s contrary to human nature for people to support businesses that are diametrically opposed to their values and beliefs. Now Rush Limbaugh channels our point.

The people causing this ‘anti-gay’ ruckus are militant activists bent on coercion.

Welcome to the party Rush…don’t worry, that you’re a bit late.

Isn’t it odd that crazed left-wingers demand burning down a pizzeria exercising its religious principles not to cater a gay wedding reception in Indiana…

…but cheer a deal where Obama gives anti-gay Iran nuclear weapons?

Shouldn’t left-wing crazies demand anti-gay nations be destroyed…not armed?

(You know…for the sake of…consistency.)

Obama’s lawyers say Lois Lerner didn’t violate law when she went to Congress, made a statement that she didn’t do anything illegal, then invoked the Fifth.

She did Obama’s bidding, suppressed the Tea Party before Obama’s re-election in 2012, so it’s no surprise Obama’s boys come up with a reason not to prosecute.

But claiming innocence…THEN invoking the 5th amendment to avoid testimony?

Making a statement negates 5th amendment privilege, but Obama says that’s okay.

Lawlessness, once again. Just one more reason to justify impeachment.

• He controls the IRS people that did the dirty work;
• controls the Justice Dept. that won’t prosecute;
• and shreds the rule of law.

But timid elected Congressional Republicans won’t invoke Constitutional principle.

(Which, when you think of it, sorta justifies holding Congress in contempt.)
