A President That Knows How To Lead

On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

    "In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari ‘a Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honourable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes!

Now THAT'S a President that leads!

This Is So True-- When Will We Learn

Excerpted from: http://www.humanevents.com/2013/03/21/coulter-wheres-luca-brasi-when-you-need-him/

I had barely left the stage at CPAC when Republicans did the exact thing I told them not to do.
Contrary to giddy liberals writing the obituary of the Republican Party, the nation has not swung left. Republicans just keep losing easy races through unforced errors. I advised them to stop doing that.

Not two days later, in the Republican primary for Tim Scott’s old congressional seat from South Carolina, among the top two finalists was Mark Sanford, the Todd Akin of South Carolina. You would think Akin would stand in history to teach Republicans to stop giving away winnable seats by running ridiculous candidates. Alas, no.

If, in some horrible twist of fate that’s been stalking Republicans, Sanford wins the runoff, he will lose the general election. Worse, he might win, making Republicans look like utter hypocrites on family values. In any event, so many resources will have to be diverted to save an easy Republican House seat that even if Sanford wins, some other Republican candidate will lose a close election. And the payoff is: Yay! We win one of the most Republican districts in the country with a high-risk candidate!

The Republican Party owes Sanford nothing. He had a chance and he blew it. National Review wasted five years of cover stories on how awesome he was, but he never accomplished anything of substance. He showed off getting his hair done at Super Cuts, sleeping in his office in Congress and not turning on the air conditioning in the governor’s mansion. He wore the same pair of shoes for 30 years. Big deal. He saved taxpayers $300 in petty cash, but he didn’t implement any lasting reforms.

The most memorable thing Sanford did in his entire life was to make himself a laughing stock as governor by running off with his Argentine honey and then going on TV to announce — in front of his wife and children — “I’ve fallen in love!” Republicans need to tell Sanford: “You screwed up; we didn’t do anything to you. Have fun, I’m sure Maria’s fantastic, but you can’t run for Congress.”

We don’t have to use every campaign trick of the Democrats — like vote fraud and character assassination — but one thing we could learn from them is to stop letting idiots destroy our party. Democrats don’t reward candidates who hurt them. Where’s John Edwards’ comeback campaign? If you so much as mention his name on MSNBC, they’ll cut to a commercial break. Where’s Howard Dean’s TV show? The only place that would employ Dennis Kucinich is Fox News. There are no benefits to damaging the Democratic Party.

Democrats boast that the country is moving to the left, but Republicans still hold the House — the body most representative of the national mood — and I can think of at least 11 Senate seats Republicans have pissed away in the last few election cycles.

Show me one example in the last decade where the Democrats allowed an election to be stolen from under their noses (Al Franken, 2008), nominated a narcissistic moron (Todd Akin) or allowed campaign consultants to fleece a zillionaire, rather than run a candidate who could actually win (Linda McMahon, 2010 and 2012; and John Raese, 1984, 2006, 2010 and 2012).  Have Democrats ever run a losing candidate for the exact same office FOUR TIMES?

The last time Democrats gave up a winnable seat was in 1980 when Jimmy Carter conceded the presidential election before the polls had closed out West, sacrificing a few congressional elections in California and costing Frank Church of Idaho his Senate seat. If Republicans hadn’t blown those 11 winnable races, Republicans would hold a 56-43 majority in the Senate today. Think of how different the country would look! Those 11 seats were gifts to the Democrats; their Senate majority does not reflect any particular strength of theirs.

We don’t need to jettison our principles; we just need to stop screwing up. Getting rich is great. Not stealing elections is great. Passion is great. Forgiveness is great. But what Democrats realize and Republicans don’t, is that in politics, all that matters is scoring.

Lets All Follow Our Leader

We are cutting back and you may want to also....

We're going to bite the bullet, too!!!!

President Obama ordered the cabinet to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 million) from the $3,500,000,000,000.00 ($3.5 trillion) federal budget.

I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2,000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc., but it's time

to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back.

I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio (1/35,000) of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2,000 a month, I'm going to have to cut that number by six cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about.

I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries - six cents worth.

Did this President actually think no one would do the math? Please send this to everyone on your list so people understand how idiotic a $100 million cut is in a $3.5 trillion budget - ludicrous!!!!!!!

Country Run By Idoits

If you can  get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but

 If, in the largest  city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a

 24-ounce soda because  24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat ...

If an 80-year-old  woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a

woman in a hijab is  only subject to having her neck and head searched ...

you might live in  a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If your  government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions

 If being  stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more

"safe"  according to the government ... you might live in a country

Participating  in a gun "buy back" because you believe that the

criminals have too many  guns is like having yourself castrated

because you believe that the  neighbors have too many kids.

FACTS AND NUMBERS

The fact is that some of the numbers are worse than shown in the e-mail.  What a mess!

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?

Body count: In the last six months -
292 killed (murdered) in  Chicago.  
221 killed in Iraq -
AND  Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.

Thank you for the combat zone in  Chicago .


Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
 
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
 
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25%, one of the highest in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
 
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois  .
...And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???

George Ryan is no longer Governor; he is in the big house.  Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is... that's right, also in the big house.  And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago.  That's because he is fighting being sent to... that's right, the big house.
 
The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

But you know what?  As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of  Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

While we're at it consider these facts?

Abraham Lincoln said the following:  "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.  You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.  You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.  You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats yet they are still POOR!
  
And Mr. Obama, you are no Abe Lincoln!
