Less than a week before the Nation observed Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, The New Yorker published a story about President Barack Obama. Editor David Remnick asked the obvious question about Obama’s abysmal approval ratings. Sitting in the shadow of King’s dream of a color-blind society that is united in harmony, Obama played the race card: “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President.”

Of course Obama played the race card. Excepting those occasions when the target is someone like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, world-renowned surgeon Ben Carson or some other black person who demonstrated the temerity to allow their accomplishments to speak for themselves, the Democrats default to spurious accusations of r****m faster than Texas State Senator Wendy “A******n Barbie” Davis can shriek “war on women!”

I almost feel bad for our poor President. Facing public approval that is folding faster than Vice President Joe Biden playing Jeopardy!, Obama assumes his detractors must be motivated by what he calls racial animus. It has never occurred to him that his detractors might be motivated by myriad scandals that have come to define his tenure. In Obama’s mind, the Obamacare debacle, the B******i murders, unfettered National Security Agency spying on private citizens, politically motivated Internal Revenue Service harassment of innocent taxpayers, Fast and Furious gunrunning to narcoterrorists, and/or the arming of al-Qaida-affiliated Syrians are insufficient to explain the increasing disaffection Obama endures from the e*****rate.

What a shame that is — not just because it’s dishonest and crass, but because Obama’s tendency to blame r****m for everything from political opposition to parking fines reveals a deeper (and actual) animus. This guy simply doesn’t like us.

And Obama is hardly alone. Late last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo fantasized about an Empire State free of people who believe in the sanctity of human life. “(C)onservatives who are right-to-life… have no place in the state of New York.” While New York, which has been hemorrhaging population to “red” States over the past few decades, has become increasingly inhospitable to non-liberals, it’s no California. In declaring pro-life citizens to be personae non gratae, Cuomo has essentially given the bum’s rush to the members of his e*****rate who recognize that there’s more to New York than Manhattan, the Hamptons and the Governor’s mansion. While Cuomo didn’t identify r****m as a factor, there’s no mistaking his clear distaste for the millions of people who think life begins before you’re eligible for union membership.

This liberal hatred for the overwhelming majority of their fellow countrymen and women begs a question. In the case of Obama: What kind of man ascends to the highest office in the land despite absolutely despising half the population? For that matter, what kind of man would want to spend the loftiest moments in his career — indeed, his life — in a job that requires he interact with 150 million people (more like 190 million of late) whom he h**es more than Martin Bashir (and pretty much every liberal) h**es Sarah Palin?

I expect I can add that question to the miles-long list of questions to which Obama will never provide a satisfactory answer. I expect I can add that question to the miles-long list of questions about which Obama doesn’t care.

A little info, in which I as a employee of a county sheriffs dept, I know as a fact that the state of tennesse's sheriffs armory's have received a pallet of ammo in the calibers fitting crowd control. Under the guise of it is surplus.
This has never happened before. Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, north Carolina andalabama are on this list. Best of my research shows there were 9000 pallets were or are being distributed as we speak.
Why? Not paranoid just curios. I love my country and served it proudly. This government is not my friend. We should all inquire to if this is surplus being distributed nation wide then why does our country still have ammunition being ordered from the suppliers and delivered to bases in Germany and other places of secondary fronts of confrontation. Are they going to impose martial law like the signs produced in mexico in 2012 stated. Look out and beware.

This is the type of bulls**t that drives me crazy-I asked Moose to back up his claim that Harry Reid stole his last e******n. I get no answer, just more unverified claims-Obama h**es America, he's lying and breaking the law although no criminal charges have been filed (unlike in the Reagan administration which still hold the record for the number of administration officials indicted for crimes committed in office-all of whom were pardoned by George HW Bush.)

So you greet a request to substantiate a claim with more unsbustantiated claims, like the idea that "Obama has let 30,000-50,000 Muslims into the country) something that's provably wrong. There are no clear records on the religion of those coming into the country, but immigration from Pakistan, Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries peaked in the 1990s, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. The Center's report said identifiying migrants by religion is highly unpredictable due to the various religions in India, one of the main sources of immigration into the Us during the last century.

So we got more bulls**t from Bulls**t Mountain rather than someone trying to clarify their statements with facts. Difficult to debate with folks like that, anal sphincters wrapped tightly around their necks.
