What if George Orwell had been right/wrong all along? Does big brother really know what's best for every single person living, working, retired, and preparing to work (as well as those few choosing to be non-working and getting free Obama phones and unlimited food stamps) on the most critical decisions they confront for their entire lives - cradle to grave? All 310,000,000 of us? How does Big Brother even know the "ins and outs" of the lives of hundreds of millions of folks? Oops almost forgot about the NSA and its unlimited surveillance capabilities. As an aside, the chorus of NSA defenders are swift to point out that, despite all the recent criticisms of that Agency, not a single actual abuse of its gathered intelligence has ever been cited by these hysterical critics. Oh really? What about a low level contractor having sufficient resources (e.g. lap top) and completely unfettered computer access, thereby being able to steal practically every important secret being securely guarded by the NSA and giving those thousands of megabites to the Chinese and Russians. Talk about an Agency not to be trusted as the premier steward of the Nation's "Top Secrets". Yet, despite this scandal of unprecedented proportions, not a single employee of the federal government has been disciplined, not even with a paid day of leave from work for allowing Richard Snowden to take the "Keys to the Kingdom" and then sell them to the highest bidder, that champion of civil liberties and privacy protection, Putin's Russia.
Oh well, I guess to really get in trouble as a federal bureaucrat, you must gleefully refuse to do your job and cause the brutal, savage mutilation and murders of four Americans, bravely serving their country in a worn torn, foreign land. Oops again; that failure of leadership makes no difference either. It's just leading lambs to their slaughter, after all; indeed, a mere bump in the road, those crumpled up corpses.
So, the clear conclusion from this litany of federal executive branch blunders is that accountability is an illusion, a mere chimera, indeed, a false promise of leadership - - some might say a "Big Lie", like a spontaneous demonstration that caused a spontaneous riot, that caused the spontaneous firing of mortar rounds for six or more hours more than a mile away from the spontaneous demonstration - - greatly undermines trust in government and its worthiness to be given more comprehensive powers over American lives.
We, therefore, must turn to the Nation's Legislative Branch to seek our integrity of action, intellectual honesty and accountability for failures of competent and trustworthy leadership. In this vein, the Senate Majority Leader sets the penultimate standard by which all others are measured to ensure that the Constitutional checks and balances are preserved. Harry Reid's speech on the Senate floor, February 25, 2014:
"All the tales being told by the Republicans and their Koch brothers' commercials, all those tales are just that, tales, all lies about the Affordable Care Act."
Harry Reid's speech on the Senate floor, March 26, 2014 - exactly 31 days after his prior unmistakeably clear defamation of every single (tens of millions of Americans by the way) Obamacare critic:
" I never said on the floor of the Senate anything about the critics of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, to the best of my recollection."
Come on MAN; it was 31 days and you could have easily watched the video before going back to the floor of the Senate to make that egregiously outrageous false statement. Either big Brother is right and the vast majority of low information voters will swallow any lie no matter how ludicrous, so long as they get free bread and circuses, or the other 99 United States Senators have absolutely no self respect by allowing their crucial Branch of Government to be rendered impotent and the laughing stock of the Nation through acquiesing in the "leadership" of a deranged lunatic. Our once great Constitutional Republic deserves better.

Why George (H) W Bush2 Still Matters, and Ronald Reagan, too
The last three Republican Chief Executives held sway over our once great Constitutional Republic for a full two decades. Let's briefly examine their accomplishments for a change of typical focus of this bombastic outlet for ant-progressive government rhetoric.
President Reagan is credited, somewhat accurately, with winning the Cold War against the Soviet Union. So what, you say? As Russia today is ascendant, and under Putin, even more aggressive in its pursuit of dominance over Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia, the downfall of the USSR now seems to have been a nothing more than a bump in the road of totalitarian history.
Elsewhere, Mr. Reagan did little to confront either Iran or the Islamist Jihadists threatening all of western civilization with ever more virulent terror attacks. Indeed, in dealing with Iran, Reagan's chief minion, the Ambassador of Silly Cakes, traded advanced weapons for American hostages, of which, Iran had no difficulty in replacing 2 for 1 whenever Ollie North closed a release deal.
On the domestic side of the ledger, President Reagan gave the Nation ammesty to 12,000,000 illegals coupled with then record setting deficit spending. Well, at least he got it "right" on the Supreme Court nomination of Moma's Boy Justice Sutter - ranking with the conservative choices by Ike of Warren and Brennan. Repubs sure can vet their high court appointments, you say?
Turning now to the Bush dynasty, let's expedite our consideration of their accomplishments by simply incorporating Reagan's litany of leadership failures by reference - watch my lips or more accurately fingers here - no sound fiscal policies while the National Debt grew exponentially and no strategy on the War on Terror, until the grand building plazas of NYC and DC were littered with more than 3,000 dead Americans.
As to the first duty of every President - preserving the Nation's sovereignty by securing the borders - of little or no concern of either Bush 1 or Bush 2, inasmuch as cheap labor is a worthy goal of every big business Repub.
In short, then, while Barrack Obama can take partial credit for the birth of the Nation's Tea Party Movement, those Bush guys are also significantly blame worthy bastard parents as well. Rino's are the bane of real conservative alternatives to the ever more intrusive Nanny State governance. Indeed, where is Senator Robert Taft (R-Ohio) when we need him most?

Why should what Mahmoud Abbas will not say Matter?
With the turning of the season, hope spring eternal, and now renewed optimism for the state of the World stage is vitally needed. This winter of our discontent has seen Ukraine disembodied, as was Libyia, Iran released from its "Time-Out" Box, thereby freed from crippling economic sanctions to pursue its dream of putting nukes on rockets (with range to spare) to wipe Israel off the map, and finally, Syria literally bombed back to the stone age - 140,000 innocents killed and more than 8,000,000 refugees suffering unimaginable misery - with no solutions to any of these civilization destroying crises being offered up by President Barack Obama.
In the face of this world-wide relentless carnage, what is the laser-like focus of this Administration's Poo-Bah for foreign policy:
"Global climate change is our Nation's greatest national security threat". Oh, really?
In pursuit of this preposterous notion, Kerry is fully committed to winning the President's War on Coal, while having no opinion whatsoever on the Keystone Pipeline. Great; a Know-Nothing follower of a Leader with a pen and phone, Mom jeans, and but two priorities for the future survival of the Free World's most exceptional nation:
*Dismantling all of the inconvenient Affordable Care insurance mandates until after all elections occurring during his entire term in office;
*Dismantling the security of the Nation of Israel;
This President will be meeting in the White House oval office on Monday with the PLO's chief thug, Mahmoud Abbas, surely to be lauding him as a peace advocate worthy of a Nobel Prize - he after all should know the needed credentials for gaining such an award. Despite Abbas' unequivocal refusal to acknowledge and accept Israel as the rightful and permanent Jewish homeland, Mr. Obama intends to impose a "Peace Pact" upon Israel that intentionally deprives it of any defensible borders - a nation no more than eight miles wide at its geographic heart.
Thereafter, once Abbas is seated on his royal throne in Jerusalem, he will be fully empowered by the United States, and the President's cherished "International Community" of appeasers, to unleash the next Infitdada against the now very vulnerable Jewish people. Having publicly proclaimed, with the implicit blessing of Secretary Kerry (see transcript of his testimony before House Foreign Relations Committee, 3/14/14) to be an illegitimate, racist State because of its essential Jewish character, Abbas consistent with prevailing international norms (see Ukraine above) can and will unleash legions of terrorists to liberate all of Palestine, so that its rightful owners can reclaim their abandoned lands, as ordered to do so by the Arab legions upon their invasion of Israel, 1947 - 1949.
Before the United States sets the stage for another holocaust in the middle east, Kerry and Obama need to tell our Nation and Israel how many Jews must die at the bloody hands of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the PLO (it has never been disbanded, by the way, and is the governing body for all actions of the current Palestine Authority, PA) before this Administration acknowledges and accepts that the Abbas lead peace process is a fraud and a sham to gain on the ground the tactical advantage in its half century old commitment to drive the Jews into the Sea, those few left alive to be so dealt with.
