The Absurd Report

“… as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever …” – Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US Founding Father

Greetings from the Association Of Jingoistic Conclusion Jumping Tenacious Second Amendment Supporters Of West Texas.

DECEPTION:

While there are a number of items which have surfaced within the past few weeks, the oldest AND most serious remains the actions or non-actions of the Obama Administration regarding the terrorist attack on our diplomatic team in Benghazi, Libya which took the lives of four Americans. So without repeating all of the lies perpetrated on the American public by Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, Jay Carney, Susan Rice and a host of others in high positions with the Obama Administration let me place these items in their order of importance, in my view.

Benghazi – and everything related which includes the obvious attempted cover ups and lies told to the American public by Obama and his henchmen.

IRS – targeting TEA Party and other conservative organizations

Justice Dept. Seizure of Associated Press telephone records – which was done outside the procedures required by law.

Let me address these items one at a time.

The attack and assassination of the American diplomatic team and subsequent cover up should cost a whole host of people in high positions their jobs and in my opinion warrants a special prosecutor and pursuit of criminal charges including Impeachment of certain officials. People need to go to jail over this.

Keep this in mind. The Benghazi incident is the incident which has the Obama Administration worried. Therefore, do not let these criminal officials deceive us by using the old con game of directing our attention to other matters which in and of themselves are bad enough but cannot compare with the criminal negligence and the intentional criminal acts perpetrated by this group of traitors.

The IRS targeting conservative groups, primarily targeting the TEA Party organization is also a gross misuse of federal power by this Administration. BUT it did not cost anyone their life as was the case in the Benghazi attacks by Muslim extremists. Even some of the most avid Democrat/Progressive/Moderate/Socialist hacks are upset with this action.

Finally, in the incident where the Justice Department obtained telephone records of calls made by Associated Press reporters. As I heard it explained on several occasions on various news shows there are only three legal ways for a federal agency to seize the telephone records of ANYONE. I can assure you that had the so called victim in this case been anyone other than a news agency, we would never have heard about it. I, for one, am not all that incensed that it was a news agency whose Constitutional Rights may have been violated. Perhaps we should all take notice that this corrupt, criminal administration will violate the law just a rapidly when it involves a person or group with whom they are in bed.

BUT, the point is this: Both of these two incidents along with the Kermit Gosnell murder trial and the Jody Arias murder trial and the rescue of the three kidnapped women by Arial Castro, while newsworthy and very serious cases, SHOULD NOT, divert our attention away from the multiple gross incompetence and criminal behavior of the Obama Administration in the whole Benghazi episode. DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE OFF THE HOOK AND DEMAND FROM YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT A THOROUGH CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION BE CONDUCTED AND THE CONDUCT OF EVERYONE INVOLVED SHOULD COME UNDER SCRUTINY.

BUT, also keep in mind that, as I have pointed out in the past, these people use misdirection to try and deceive the American public AND up to this point have been successful.

I have to wonder now, just how Mitt Romney feels for following the advised of some of the brilliant Republican strategists who urged him to lay off the Benghazi attacks and concentrate on the economy.

DIPLOMACY:

One morning last week I was taking my morning walk and listening to one of the national morning news shows. During this news program, one of the guests was a Democrat Congressman. I did not have a pen or paper with me on that morning so I do not remember exactly which Democrat/Progressive/Socialist Congressman it was but I vividly remember what he said.

The hosts of the program were discussing the Benghazi attacks and that the answers to many of the questions regarding the attack and the requests made for additional security had apparently been ignored. Then this Democrat/Progressive/Socialist politician made a statement with which I have a major problem. He said that this was the KIND OF THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRACTICE DIPLOMACY IN TROUBLE PARTS OF THE WORLD. I was absolutely shocked by this statement. If what this jerk said is true, then sending diplomats to troubled areas should cease IMMEDIATELY. If this is “Business As Usual” then I suggest sending B-52 bombers rather than diplomats.

Ah, but later on the same day, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi said that she supported diplomacy as the answer to world problems. This should be proof positive that our diplomatic policies leave a bit of room for improvement.

Earlier today while at the post office checking my mail I happened to notice a piece of printed material which had been left on one of the mail check counters. The letter was addressed to: Fellow Democrat and it was From: Nancy Pelosi – Democratic Leader. The very first line of this letter said: “The reckless Tea Party Republican budget forces America down a path to pain”. And of course it was putting the touch for a cash donation to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. For a moment there it reminded me that while the message might be different, the point of the letter was exactly the same as letters putting the touch on me for donations from the Republican National Committee…… As I have been saying, not a Hell of a lot of difference between the two organizations OR the two parties at the national level.

DEDICATION:

I watched part of the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library on the S.M.U. campus in Dallas, Texas. I thought that President Bush did a good job in his speech at this ceremony.

I did not have the same opinion of the speeches of President Jimmy Carter; President Bill Clinton; or President Barack Hussein Obama.

A few days later I read an editorial in the (Sub) Standard Times in which the writer made the statement that the three former Presidents had a very difficult time finding something nice to say about former President George W. Bush.

After reading this article I recalled the fact the Jimmy Carter was one of the weakest U.S. Presidents in my lifetime. I also recalled that Bill Clinton, while claiming credit for solid economic times was in fact proven to be a liar and was Impeached. Then I viewed the obvious lying, con-man tactics which have been used from day one by Barack Hussein Obama. Finally the thought entered my mind that, while George W. Bush was, in my opinion wrong on several issues, had more character in his little finger than any of the three Democrat/Progressive/Socialist slugs. So in fact, the editorial writer for the (Sub) Standard Times preferred one Democrat/Socialist President who was Impeached and two Democrat/Socialist Presidents who probably should have been Impeached over the one guy who treated our Military with respect when he was President…… and still does.

MORE STUFF:

On Tuesday, May 7th a man passed away. His name was Robert K. Ressler. He was 76 years old. If any of you have ever watched any of the documentary programs on various serial killers you may have seen and heard and seen Robert Ressler as he interviewed many of the high profile serial killers. Robert Ressler and John Douglas were instructors at the F.B.I. Academy. They began visiting prisons to interview notorious killers. They did much of their work on their own without administrative permission. One article quoted John Douglas as saying, “Bob would always say, rather than ask for permission, let’s do it and if they don’t like it, we’ll ask for their forgiveness.”

Robert Ressler is credited with coining the term “serial killer”. The work done by Ressler and Douglas resulted in the creation of an investigative tool popularly known as “CRIMINAL PROFILING”. This system has aided criminal investigators, worldwide, for many years. Some of the killers who were interviewed by Ressler and Douglas were: Charles Manson, David Berkowitz, Ed Kemper, and John Wayne Gacy.

Robert Ressler wrote several books with one of his first being “Whoever Fights Monsters”. This is a very interesting book and gives details on a number of the really famous serial killers about whom we have all read.

In the 1990′s I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar in Albuquerque, NM with the entire class being taught by Mr. Ressler. He was a really interesting and nice gentleman.

Today, the F.B.I. employs teams of Agents to do what Ressler and Douglas stated nearly 40 years ago, and its research has expanded to spies and terrorists.

Additionally I have personally been involved in several investigations in which the Behavioral Science section of the F.B.I. were called upon for their expertise. I have never failed to be impressed with how accurate their opinions were regarding the defendants who were eventually arrested in those cases. And I always remembered that Robert K. Ressler was one of the driving forces behind this field.

I know that it is probably a bit odd that a guy who lives in West Texas is a pretty big fan of ice hockey, but I am. I have a couple of teen age grandsons who both play hockey and have been playing since they were about 9 or 10 years old. They both currently live in Denver, CO. But, I have been an ice hockey fan since the 1960′s when Houston, Texas had a minor league team called The Houston Apollos. They were a minor league farm club for the Montreal Canadians. I rarely missed a home game and got to watch some of the real NHL future stars when they played for Houston.

After I moved to New Mexico, I returned to Houston one year to visit some friends. A couple of buddies took me to a hockey game. At that time, Houston had a team in the World Hockey Association. What made this game so memorable to me was that it was the first and only time I got to watch Gordie Howe play in person. Also playing on the same team were two of Gordie Howe’s sons, Mark and Marty.

Of course Gordie Howe played most of his professional career with the Detroit Red Wings where he was the NHL record holder for points and goals until those records were broken by Wayne Gretzky. Gordie Howe was a real super star and was beyond tough. There was no phase of the game in which Gordie Howe did not excel.

I read an article that they will be releasing a movie soon which focuses on Gordie Howe’s first season with his sons.

The article said that Gordie Howe who is now 85 years old is suffering from severe short-term memory loss. I can’t tell you how much I hated to hear that about one of the really great athletes, in any sport, in my lifetime. Gordie Howe began his career in 1946 and in 1980 made the NHL All Star Team at age 52. It was his 22nd time to be named to that team.

Gordie Howe is one of my very few sports heroes.
————————————————
Now we hear that O.J. Simpson is requesting a new trial. Boy, what a load off my mind. I sure to spend a lot of time worrying about whether or not “The Juice” had top representation in his armed robbery trial. I watched a few moments and noticed that O.J. has picked picked up the odd pound or two since being incarcerated. One female news reporter said that prison life must be treating O.J. pretty good as he was sporting a really nice tan………. REALLY?
——————————————
One news report said that photographs of the attack on Benghazi were made possible through the use of an un-manned drone. Aren’t all drone’s un-manned?
Anyway, the thought crossed my mind that if out side was able to get an un-manned drone to the area, why could they not have just as easily have gotten an ARMED DRONE to the area to give the Muslim Terrorists a small surprise? Or, if not an ARMED DRONE, how about a couple of ARMED JET FIGHTERS. Or perhaps a SEAL team to evacuate the Americans?
——————————————-
If you play poker or if you do investigative work or if you watch con-men work you will eventually notice that the people with whom you are dealing have certain traits of behavior they exhibit when they are trying to be deceptive. Just watch Barack Hussein Obama. Now I am not talking about when he has a teleprompter and a prepared speech. But watch him when he is caught without assistance and is asked questions. If he goes into a detailed answer and as he is talking he draws out the word “AND”; like aaaaaaaaand, you can almost rest assured that the statements following that drawn out aaaaaaaaand is going to be FALSE; UNTRUE; INACCURATE; or as we say in West Texas….. A LIE. I am not saying he does it every single time but the majority of the time he draws out that word because he is not quite sure of what he is going to say or he is trying to figure out which lie will stand the best chance of being believed.
———————————-
DO NOT LET UP ON THESE CRIMINAL TRAITORS NOW. KEEP ON YOUR ELECTED CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN AND DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE ESCAPE BY MISDIRECTION TACTICS.

See Y’all

Obamacare is a lie, one of the biggest lies ever told the American people and one of the biggest lies/hoaxes ever perpetrated upon any nation on the globe

In an article at the UK Express we learn the following:

“THOUSANDS of Britons are carrying out DIY (Do It Yourself) dentistry, pulling their own teeth with pliers and using household glue to stick down fillings.

Unable to afford soaring charges, almost a fifth of people have all but given up going to their dentist, the Sunday Express has discovered.

There has been a surge in sales of dental kits at pharmacies including chemicals to whiten teeth.

Experts say that up to 200,000 DIY dentists risk injuring themselves and missing out on potentially life-saving check-ups.

Up to a third of adults no longer have an NHS (National Health Service) dentist, according to the latest figures.

Gulf War veteran Ian Boynton, 46, from Woodmansey, East Yorkshire, pulled out 13 of his teeth with pliers because he was in agony and could not find an NHS (National Health Service) dentist to treat him.

In another case a 46-year-old man from Wandsworth, south London, needed major surgery after he stuck a crown into his mouth with super glue which rotted the bone in his gum.

Other DIY dentists have whitened teeth with household cleaning products and popped ulcers with pins.”

Is this where Obamacare will eventually take American health care? I believe it is.

I am asked, occasionally, why I still harp on Obamacare so much. The answer is simple. America was sold a bill of goods. I should probably qualify that last statement. Only those Americans who bought into the idea of Obamacare, as Obama and the liberal-socialists who make up the modern Democratic Party presented it, were hoodwinked. Most clear-thinking adult human beings saw through the scam from the beginning and warned and warned and WARNED against it. We TOLD you what it was—and is—and we told you what it would do to America, as a whole, and to you and I as individuals.

Accountability: Suddenly, President Obama is mired in multiple scandals. If his friends in the media had been doing their jobs, they would have realized who he was well before last year’s election.

The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” hands out cute little “Pinocchios” to politicians who stretch the truth. But a lot of the time that long nose obstructs the little wooden boy’s vision.

On Tuesday, for example, the Post gave Obama “Four Pinocchios” — the worst rating on its lie-ometer — for his recently repeated claim that “the day after (the Benghazi attack), I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism.”

The Post pondered — all this time after the November election — whether Obama “did not want to spoil his campaign theme that terror groups such as al-Qaida were on the run by conceding a terrorist attack had occurred on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.”

But Obama infamously contended the exact same thing in the second debate with Mitt Romney last year: “The day after the attack, governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that … this was an act of terror.”

There were no “Pinocchios” handed out back then for that — when it counted.

Maybe good ol’ Pinoc was afraid of debate moderator Candy Crowley of CNN, who falsely declared that Obama “did call it an act of terror.”

That media assist turned the campaign decisively back in Obama’s favor after Romney wiped the floor with the president in the first debate.

The Post has awarded Obama “Four Pinocchios” from time to time — for weighty things like getting facts wrong about Rutherford Hayes’ presidency.

And it outrageously gave Romney “Four Pinocchios” for pointing out an indisputable fact: that Obama said Americans have been “lazy” for “the last couple of decades.”

But Tuesday’s Pinocchios are eight months too late to be of any use to the voters. Not only did the president lie about Benghazi; intelligence talking points were revised nearly a dozen times with the obvious aim of assuring his re-election.

Add to that last week’s revelation that the IRS has been hounding conservative activists with Nixonian zeal, this week’s news that the Obama Justice Department has been wiretapping the Associated Press, and the recent disclosure of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius moonlighting as a fundraiser, panhandling from the health industry for large financial donations to implement ObamaCare.

Moderate Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee even compared the Sebelius scandal to Iran-Contra in magnitude.

Usually there are signs a dam is about to burst. Tiny cracks show up, the structure makes strange noises, and then, whoosh! That’s what we are witnessing as the President, the former Secretary of State, and the Attorney General struggle to keep the bulwark of lies and half-truths they have built intact. It is showing signs of collapse.

Liberals say absurd things all the time—mostly because they either don’t know the facts or because they prefer to ignore or obfuscate them. The current example is the shout-it-from-the-rooftops claim that Republicans are “politicizing” the events in Benghazi that left a U.S. ambassador and three security personnel dead.

In the wake of the House hearings on May 8th, the most elemental politics is at work within the White House and that is the decision to abandon Hillary Clinton. The decision to appoint her Secretary of State was political and, since the President sets foreign policy, it kept her wing of the party in the tent while affording the White House the opportunity to keep her conveniently on the road and largely out of the spotlight.

Name a single treaty or significant foreign policy achievement of Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of State. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nienta.

Consider the meltdown of influence the United States has had in the Middle East where the single act of a Tunisian peddler who committed suicide as a response to the harassment of the police set off a revolution that drove its dictator from office and then spread rapidly to Libya where Gaddafi was killed and to Egypt where its dictator (and ally of the U.S.) was driven from office with the President’s blessing. And, for two years, the U.S. has stood on the sidelines and watched as the Syrian dictator has slaughtered 70,000 Syrians, driving some 2.5 million to flee to Turkey and Jordan.

It has taken eight months since the September 11, 2012 attack on the Benghazi consulate and a House committee hearing to learn the truth as to why repeated requests for increased security assets were denied in a nation that is still essentially a war zone between the north and the south. We still do not know who told available forces to stand down. The President and his regime call this “politicizing.”

Beyond Benghazi, every decision the President makes or chooses not to make has political implications. The choice to go to bed the night of the attack and then fly to a fundraiser the following day was political. As Commander-in-Chief he had responsibility to issue the orders to protect his diplomats—our diplomats—but he is also the Great Delegator and, as the noose tightens around Hillary, she is very expendable.

It’s a political decision to exploit the murders in a Connecticut elementary school to attack the Second Amendment and gun ownership. The response of ordinary people was to go out and buy a gun. Indeed, fear of the White House’s intentions has made the President the greatest gun salesman in the nation.

Even in the Obama Justice Department there is the odor of deception that still reeks from the bungled gun-running program called “Fast and Furious” which allowed guns purchased In the U.S. to be transferred to various Mexican drug cartels. The result, in one case, was a dead U.S. Border Patrol officer, an ICE agent, and an unknown number of Mexican cartel victims. It took a presidential executive order to throw a blanket of silence over the role of the Justice Department in this lethal debacle. That’s political.

Now we learn that the Justice Department obtained Associated Press phone records in a probe to discover the source of a leaked story. AP officials called it a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how a news organization gathers news. The ever-reliable, politically-correct, liberally oriented AP has become a crack in the dam.

The revelation that the Internal Revenue Service “targeted” the Tea Party, patriotic, and pro-Israel groups for special attention regarding their tax status now adds to a growing sense of a regime without any internal limits on its exercise of power.

The result is a period in which the barely concealed scorn of the President, his wife, and those around him in appointed and elected office has half the population outraged while the other half is content to live parasitically, not paying taxes, and receiving an amazing array of benefits which a bankrupt nation cannot afford.

When enough people—citizens, voters, taxpayers—think they are being lied to and betrayed by those in high office, the dam of lies will begin to show signs of bursting under the pressure of their pent up anger.
