When they get complete control of your life, liberals don’t just sit and smile, they use that power and control to remind you who is in charge. They hunger and thirst for power and control and are restrained only by their imaginations as they plot to run our lives.

Minnesota’s Democrats are good examples of what life is like when liberals are given total control of a government.

Earlier this year, while lamenting how many of his subjects escape to Florida and other warmer places each winter to avoid the cold, Democrat Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton had an idea to recover the tax money they take with them each December.

Dayton proposed a “snowbird tax” and did so proudly. To this liberal tyrant it makes no difference that the subjects he is aiming his greed at leave his fiefdom and legally change their official residence to Florida, Dayton wants pro-rated taxes extracted from Minnesota’s snowbirds for the five months they live in Minnesota. When this measure passes, Dayton’s subjects will have to leave his realm to escape his clutches which of course means nothing to greedy liberals.

In Minnesota the word Democrat doesn’t fit those who rule their subjects. It doesn’t go far enough. They call themselves Democrat Farm Labor (DFL) which could be understood as Democrats Far to the Left.

Not to be outdone, Minnesota’s DFL controlled House of Representatives has decided its subjects should have to pay 300% more tax on alcoholic drinks purchased in Minnesota.

Like all liberals, the DFL gang is logic and dynamic scoring challenged. They understand nothing about human behavior and don’t care about human behavior since THEY will tell us how to behave. They believe, as all liberals believe, that since they are now getting $5.03 per gallon for spirits, raising such taxes to $17.82 a gallon will solve their ever present revenue shortfall problems. They foolishly believe people will continue to buy their spirits at the same rate and happily pay the increased taxes to “Mother State” because it is “for their own good.”

That people will go out of state to buy their alcohol and/or make their own spirits never occurs to people drunk with power. The Democrats Far to the Left tyrants in Minnesota are no different.

Chicago Police Chief: We’ll Shoot Licensed Gun Owners

Miss America w shotgun Creative Commons Evil Erin1 Chicago police chief: We’ll shoot licensed gun owners

Under Chicago’s Police Chief Gary McCarthy and the hack that hired him, Chicago has quickly become Murder City USA. Last year by a substantial amount, more Americans died from gunfire in the Windy City than died in Afghanistan. The gunfire is coming from the violent street gangs that infect the streets of Chicago.

Since they have failed to solve the real problem of gunfire killing people in their streets, the current administration has invented a problem their media pals can fool the dupes that vote for them into thinking they are solving. Their invented problem is: what to do about “dangerous” people who are licensed gun owners?

Since their constituency of public housing dwellers doesn’t count when they complain, honest licensed gun owners who can put a spotlight on their failure to make the streets  safe  must be targeted and shut up. Last week McCarthy publicly warned licensed gun owners his officers would shoot them if they: “[turn] with a firearm in their hand” at the scene of a police involved incident.

Parroting the liberal lies about  licensed gun owners always make things worse when they attempt to use their gun to defend themselves or others, McCarthy said: “I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

McCarthy and his boss must have realized that kissing up to street gangs to get them to stop shooting people doesn’t work. With no other options they are now threatening honest citizens licensed to possess and use firearms to save their own lives. Can confiscation be far off?

The Phony Holiday Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa soulchristmas2 The Phony Holiday Kwanzaa

This year those of us who cherish the phrase “Merry Christmas” have started to say “Merry Christ-mas” to reinsert the name Christ into the greeting. Here’s a reminder of how we started to lose “Merry Christmas” 40 years ago.

On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by an America-hating Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America.

That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one-to-ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times. They didn’t want to talk about how their new hero had been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they didn’t.

Karenga called his new “holiday” Kwanzaa, a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits” because he says it is a harvest festival. This is a lie. Kwanzaa is Karenga’s answer to Christmas. He would like nothing better than to see Kwanzaa actually become the “Black Christmas” he has always fantasized about.

In his 1977 book on Kwanzaa, Karenga said it “…was chosen to give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant [White] society.”

Upon hearing of the new “holiday,” a young unknown Al Sharpton commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of de-whitizing” Christmas.”

The idea that Kwanzaa is a harvest festival is bogus.

Harvests don’t happen in December, not even in Karenga’s make believe version of Africa. The closest thing to a Kwanzaa-like festival in Africa is the Yam Festival held yearly in Ghana and Nigeria at the beginning of August, yet Kwanzaa is celebrated each year between December 26 and January 1.

A 1978, Washington Post article included this Karenga admission about his “holiday.” “People think it’s African, but it’s not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods (blacks) would be partying.” Imagine if a White person had written that!

When the “traditional Kwanzaa holiday” was added to the mix, along with “Merry Christmas and “Happy Hanukkah,” feckless merchants who would willingly celebrate Hitler’s birthday if they thought it would boost sales, folded and “Happy Holidays” grew by the year. Exactly when this happened is difficult to pinpoint, but after the Bush White House recognized Kwanzaa in 2002 the battle was lost.

Based on the lack of endless “Happy Kwanzaa” TV ads from “Your friends at…” Kwanzaa may be losing some momentum. Let’s pray it is gone by this time next.

Empty Attacks On The NRA Prove Media Believe Their Own Lies About Guns

NRA 2 SC Empty attacks on the NRA prove media believe their own lies about guns

When National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” the collective gasp from the media must have been heard for miles.

These pitifully ignorant people don’t understand research and certainly have no intellectual curiosity. They went ballistic when confronted with the fact that they had to share responsibility for promoting a culture of violence and failing to honestly report the true damage Hollywood’s movies and rap music and “revolving door justice” have done especially to young people.

The media savaged LaPierre but overlooked Code Pink when they interrupted him carrying signs saying, “NRA KILLING OUR KIDS,” and screaming that the gun rights group has “blood on its hands.” They believe Code Pink because it makes them feel good about themselves.

A nitwit named Hugo Schwyzer has told the media Adam Lanza killed 20 children and 6 adults to play his “man card” and the media believe that because they don’t want to look at the facts LaPierre has shoved under their noses.

They believe Piers Morgan when he tweeted “Coming to a town near you, courtesy of the NRA – Gunfights at the US school corral.” This shameless self-promoter is a man whose own country suffered the slaughter of 16 children in a grade school because there was no good guy with a gun to stop the animal who was shooting them. They believed him because they are as stupid and shameless as he is.

They mock LaPierre’s facts and believe an empty-headed moron like Arianna Huffington when she accuses The NRA of wanting an “armed insurrection against the U.S. government…” because that is easier than facing their own complicity in the violent culture they promote and worship.

Perhaps the biggest lie the media is swallowing is their own insistence that the American people are with them in blaming these horrific crimes on guns, the NRA, Ronald Reagan, George Bush or whoever they want to blame rather than the mentally ill killers who commit them.

A new Gallup survey shows 53% of Americans believe putting police officers in schools is the best way to stop these crimes and 42% believe banning assault guns is the answer. Another 36% believes such bans would have no effect at all.

Walmart Stands Firm Against Union Thugs

Unions at Walmart Creative Commons by DBs travels Walmart Stands Firm Against Union Thugs

Immediately after Barack Obama’s reelection, his union masters beat their chests and growled their demand for “Card Check,” the decidedly anti-American dream of Big labor to use physical intimidation to force all of America to be unionized. Under this demented scheme union goons would be allowed to threaten and intimidate workers to scare them into voting to unionize, thereby allowing union bosses to steal a portion of their paychecks each week in return for keeping their jobs.

The Democrats love this because as the crooks and lowlifes they are, they look forward to union kickbacks of this extorted money which they use to destroy any Republican opposition – just look at the socialist State of California to get a clearer picture of how these extortions work.

In order to make “Card Check” a reality, Big Labor must find a way to extort union dues money from Walmart’s 1.3 million employees. “Black Friday’ was the opening post-election round of these attacks on Walmart, but by all accounts it failed and the joke was on the union thugs.

In a refreshing reminder that our side can be snarky and blunt, Walmart’s corporate office at Bentonville Arkansas (not New York or Los Angeles – but Arkansas) released a triumphant message to their enemies both in and out of the White House.   “We had a very safe and successful Black Friday events at our stores across the country and heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers.  Only 26 protests occurred at stores last night and many of them did not include any Walmart associates.”

“In addition, the company did not experience the walk-offs that were promised by the UFCW. We estimate that less than 50 associates participated in the protest nationwide. In fact, this year, roughly the same number of associates missed their scheduled shifts as last year.”

The union goons want a 60% increase in pay for Walmart workers which would end the company as a factor in the battle to extort America’s workers.

We can expect more and more vicious attacks from our Big Labor enemies. Last summer as a way to probe for weaknesses someone called in a series of fake bomb scares at seven Walmart’s in Middle America. It won’t take three guesses to figure out who was behind these crimes.
