6 Words From Obama............from Rico
6 key words Obama repeats in recent fundraisers lately should scare the hell out of everyone:
"We're not even halfway there yet..."
Consider these words. Carefully.
The implication scares me profoundly, as the 'plan' to destroy America proceeds.
I'm from the Government and...........from Rico

"If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pits of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fiber of my being.
However, if by whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it. This is my position, and as always, I refuse to be compromised on matters of principle.

Fiat is NOT forever!.............from Rico
They never tell you in advance. That would defeat the purpose!
- The Government and Central Bankers, I mean, when they 'change' the rules of the game overnight.
Have you ever had the experience of 'waking up' to discover your paper money was now worth half as much as it was the day before? Or worthless, and needed to be exchanged for 'new' paper currency?
- It's NOT fun.
Here is a look at the 'former' greenback. The one before the present one. It 'went away' and is worthless now as a medium of exchange or store of wealth.
Paper fiat is NOT forever!
Few still remember the notes called Silver Certificates. They were pulled from circulation after LBJ changed the rules of the game.
- Here is an example from 1957. It is worth comparing to the Federal Reserve Note from 2003.
Note the 'changes' from one to the other. If you've never 'seen' the former, the latter looks pretty much the same, but it is NOT.
- The 1957 note says "this certifies that on deposit in the Treasury" and "in silver payable to the bearer on demand" for example.
- The 2003 FRN makes no such assertion that anything is in the Treasury, does NOT promise to pay you back in anything but a 'promise' and while you could try and trade this at the bank for Silver, at +/- $40 per ounce it's NOT going to happen. Besides, the Dollar has decreased in purchasing power by over 60% since 2002 while silver has skyrocketed in.
Note: When there isn't the revenue to match the political promises, then the promises will not be kept.
Having given you two examples of defunct US paper currency, do you really believe that the current FRN will be with us forever? It is dying before our eyes, and will eventually have no purchasing power [read: value]. Today's Greenback has about 5-7 cents of the purchasing power a 1913 Dollar had.
While we are presently the US of AA+ if you bother to look something Zimbabwe this way comes!
It would be good to have a backup plan. The proverbial "Plan B."

The Police Have Become So Sensitive to the Issue of Race That Black Thugs Can Force You to Strip Naked in the Streets
Updates on the rioting: "Police Overwhelmed in London Riots."
And see especially, "Britain Descends to Hell":
When society has lost its collective mind, and when authorities are helpless to do the thing that they are established to do --- keep order and decency --- then you have to protect yourself and your family.Click though for the links to black thugs forcing British citizens down to their underwear to rob them of their clothing.
Stand Up Against Progressive Thuggery
Cross-posted from "Joseph Fein Defends Pamela Geller."
*****
My friend Joseph Fein, who regrettably I haven't linked here in a while, made a very shrewd argument the other day in his post standing up for Pamela Geller, "History Will Look Kindly on Pamela Geller Not Glenn Greenwald." I'm not so focused on the commentary on Glenn Greenwald, who while I've slammed mercilessly in the past (he's a genuine asshole, frankly), I've also commended him for avoiding the herd Obama cult mentality (I recognize consistency when I see it). What caught my eye about Joseph's essay was this passage on ideological rationalization:
Glenn Greenwald wanted Gay marriage to be the norm in the United States. As a Social libertarian, I see no issue here. As a partisan, I see a weak person who won't even stay in his own country and fight for what he believes in. He expects others to do the heavy lifting. Speaking to partisans who think the same way you do on TV, radio and the Internet does not expand converts. (nor does sock-puppeting).I've highlighted in bold the key sentence, but check the whole post for the context. I'd have to talk to Joseph in person to see how he'd vote on a gay marriage proposition next time around (if it's not decided at the U.S. Supreme Court beforehand), but the key is that Joseph would consider changing his position because of the ideological and political violence of the progressive left's pro-gay marriage ayatollahs. I cringed the other day when Andrew Breitbart announced he'd boycott CPAC over the organization's exclusion of GOProud. It's not so much that GOProud is either in or out at CPAC (I think the group's a Trojan horse but I'd let them compete in the marketplace of ideas rather than exclude them). It's that for all of Andrew Breitbart's super aggressive battles against the institutional left, he obviously doesn't get it on this issue. My sense is that he's got friends who are gay. Fine. So do I. But that doesn't mean one has to capitulate to the progressive barebacking agenda. It's bears repeating and repeating again: Gay activists are the most venal, vicious, and unprincipled political organizers going. It's like Rick Santorum noted the other day, when he suggested that gays enjoy "super rights." Progressive gay activists are the left's ultimate bullies. They are in your face, attacking anyone with the slightest inclination toward tradition as a "homophobe" and "racist." They browbeat, intimidate, and harass to get their way. They've threatened to destroy livelihoods over the simple act of voting on a proposition. They's lied and cheated in public forums, for example, with the mock judicial process that reviewed Prop. 8 in Federal District Court. Basically, they've raped the political process to leverage a disgusting and morally reprobate barebacking, rim-station sexual agenda that majorities of voters have consistently rejected nationwide. Fully thirty states continue to prohibit gay marriage across the country, but the tentacles of deathly progressivism have worked their subterfuge in the more left-leaning states, using all manner of deceit and duplicity to carry the day. Most of all is the sickening progressive discrimination that is the centerpiece of folks like the disgusting perv Dan Savage. I wrote recently on his sick bigotry and hatred of regular people: "Gay Sexual Abandon and the Perverse Inversion of Values by Same-Sex Extremists." The gay progressive program of ideological bigotry works because society has been beaten down by political correctness. No one wants to appear intolerant. No one wants to be attacked as anti "civil rights." The problem of course, is that gay marriage isn't a civil right, although regular people have been so brainwashed by progressive Orwellianism they don't know what is good and moral, and to even speak up for something decent is to be viciously attacked, with people's very lives being threatened. So this is why I think Joseph's rethinking of his vote on Prop. 8 is such an incisive opening on this issue. If it were me I'd leave it to the states, and if the voters choose full gay marriage rights so be it. But the process is hijacked by extremists and thugs, and it's not likely those rights would come around through a free and fair democratic process. And thus those folks so happy to call themselves libertarian on the issue just end up being fellow soldiers in the left's campaign to destroy decency in this country.
I voted No on 8; I support any two consenting adults to be happy. But every time Andrew Sullivan attacks Palin's family, I always have to rethink that vote.
Now, compare Greenwald to Pam Geller.
Thoughts on Riots
As many of you know I have lived in the UK and am married to a Briton. I have lived, have friends or family in some of the areas affected. I was especially appalled about Enfield as my wife and I enjoyed the town centre on many occasions while we lived there together. As far as I know our friends and family in London are ok for now.
What frustrates me most is to see a Tory government acting so meek in the face of this onslaught. They are blaming social media and not allowing the police to do their job. If there was any example of how political correctness has gone too this is it. Even if you have a police force outside they are unable to do anything to defend the residents. These teens know their "rights" and know the police are restricted in what they an do.
Teresa May needs to be relieved of duty after her cack-handed handling of this situation. She admitted that the police had rubber bullets but were unable to use them. Dismissing every option to them because they don't want to be seen as harsh will not calm people who are desperately afraid for their jobs and lives. They British police look like a bunch of wimps unable to stand up to a mob of yobs.
This concerted effort of burning, rioting and looting is planned (for the most part). It is an act of terrorism and they UK government needs to deal with that way. Burning of pubs and off-licences leads one to wonder if certain people are directing the mobs to burn things they disagree with.
Of course it would help if Britons were allowed to defend their businesses and their homes. One person has been shot by the rioters and how many more at to come? Americans with friends in the UK wish their friends enjoyed the 2nd amendment.
Tim is correct, its time for Cameron & Co to show their true metal. If they don't step up, people should call for the coalition to cease.
The riots in the UK should be a wake up call to Americans. If they let the PCism spread to far they will face sort of problem in their own neighborhoods. We have the 2nd amendment to allow Americans to protect their own.
