Obama For America: FAIL!
 

Now I've heard it all...

It will take money to run the new organization and to maintain voter lists and other campaign tools. At a conference for campaign workers Sunday, executive director Jon Carson said the new issue-advocacy group is "going to challenge you to lead it…and pay for it."

The announcement was met with surprise and a few gasps among the hundreds in attendance.

"So, you're kidding about us making our own money to pay for [campaign data], right?" asked Reno, a comedian and activist who uses a single name, during a question-and-answer session.

smiley

So the DNC and Obama's campaign machinery compiled voter lists and other similar pieces of data.  Now that the election is over Obama proposes that his "core supporters" go raise more money to push his agenda -- but raise the money first to get access to the list?

Oh my, that's rich.

Quite rich.

Of course the two primary "initiatives" are "gun control" and "immigration reform", with the former being code for "screw the Second Amendment; we don't believe in unalienable rights" and the latter being code for "come here as an illegal and loot America."

All in the name of "compassion", of course.

The transparent nature of demanding that people fork up their own money to "join the club", however, smacks of something Scientology would put before its "true believers."

I predict it will work out about equally well in terms of actual penetration.

"Immigration reform" is just a codeword for removing all limitations on the soft genocide white population replacement project. Of course, there will still be racist limitations against European immigrants because they're white.

It just so*****es me off that there exist literally millions of prospective immigrants who have fill out their forms, paid their fees, taken their tests in foreign lands and patiently wait for the US State Department to contact them with notification that their working visa has been approved and their entry into the USA is welcomed. Many wait as long as 10 years for that letter.

And now it has come to rewarding as many as 20M illegal ***** who snuck in through the back door and demand to get rewarded for it through amnesty.

And the Republicans like McCain, Gramnesty, Rubio and Ryan all favor this crap. There seems to be enough of them on board now to reward the illegal criminals.

The entire meaning of what it once meant to be an American is now gone. All the rules have been changed to reward the scofflaws, the leeches and the criminals. And those in our highest political offices (even conservatives who preach 'family values' and 'rule of law' from one side of their mouths) applaud it.

What a ****** up country it's turned out to be.

It's a clear message. Why bother with legal immigration, there are ways to bypass legal immigration.

It looks like there are a number of people with talent are leaving the US or considering work abroad.

In growing numbers, experts say, highly educated children of immigrants to the United States are uprooting themselves and moving to their ancestral countries. They are embracing homelands that their parents once spurned but that are now economic powers.

When all this AA and initiatives to promote mediocre performance I thought eventually immigration out of the US would occur. An elderly immigrant from Europe told me that some day the US will no longer draw the top immigrants and instead will be getting the uneducated, entitlement seeking immigrants.

More voters for Obama, socialism and the FSA until the whole system collapses.

That "some day" has been here for quite a while for the second part of that clause. I expect that the economy and general decline in the entrepeneurial climate will serve to assure the first part.

Obama is like the lottery. Ya gotta pay to play. You gotta be in to win.

While tithing is voluntary at this point for the anointed one, (they are only asking you to register) soon you will be taxed and will only be able to load $7 in your wallet at a time. Having more than $7 will be criminal with no sunset clause. You don't need that much money to defend yourself.

Don't like it? We understand, that is why we took the guns.

Regarding "Immigration Reform": I happened to be looking up something about Sen. Eugene McCarthy today. Came across this tidbit (Wiki):

Along with Ted Kennedy, he was one of the original co-sponsors of the Immigration Act of 1965. He later regretted this, noting that "unrecognized by virtually all of the bill's supporters, were provisions which would eventually lead to unprecedented growth in numbers and the transfer of policy control from the elected representatives of the American people to individuals wishing to bring relatives to this country."[4] Taking a turn to the right, McCarthy became a member of the Board of Advisors of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.[5]

This country is screwed, blued and tattooed and this is the cherry on top.

System of government? Compromised and corrupted.

Liberty? Isn't that a big statue off the east coast?

Economy? Gutted, replaced by smoke, mirrors, government cheese, a printing press and algorithms.

Ugh.

A serious question: if, as seems likely, he's not legally qualified to hold the office, have we "in fact" HAD a presidency this past four years? And does today's shadow show mean what they intend us to think?
Will history write of this period: "the eight years without a presidency?"
What would be the impacts, and what are the take-aways?

"Fork money so the banksters and most corrupt leeches can benefit."

That's it, of course. The other day Uppity Peasant commented that I didn't get it when I said those in government should be replaced by chess players because they can think a few moves ahead. Uppity said they know exactly what they're doing. He or she is right, of course; the statement above says it all.

However: You can rake in the money you want now but eventually (maybe this year) the foundation will crack-n-crumble and then you and everyone else won't have the ability to leech. A parasite does not intentionally desire to destroy the host, as that destroys the food source. When this occurs the parasite must move or perish. That's all. We are in the end game and it won't be pretty. This parallels the government drive to disarm the population to pre-empt the tyranny that will be required to keep the system in place. Ed Steer has had some nice comics lately in his daily funnies that focus on this issue, and he, like many here, understand it's not about gun control to protect kids in a movie theatre or school. It's about the end game.

Smacktle you know what: First of all your kid should stop smoking.

The folks that study history (since it tends to repeat) and have been correct in predictions, by and large, are saying that the ponzi schemes are set to burst. Doug Casey just put out a piece on the bond bubble worth reading. WORTH reading. Gerald Celente too says this year should be interesting. So if that means anything, which it should, then it does.
