Nancy Pelosi on the Non-Union Boeing Plant: Government Should Shut It Down
November 1, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · 1 Comment
Is any more proof needed that Pelosi and those that think like her are completely insane and shouldn’t be allowed around sharp objects? I honestly can’t believe that we have people like this shaping policy in this country. God help us. See video below.
CNN Poll: 62% of Americans Want All or Most Abortions Illegal
September 17, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · 1 Comment
I’ve argued with lefties on numerous occasions about abortion and have told them that someday abortion will be looked on as an evil at least as great as slavery. Those that support abortion today are on the wrong side of history, and are becoming dinosaurs compared to the shifting public opinion on the abortion issue. From LifeSiteNews:
A new CNN national poll of Americans finds results that are almost identical to a Gallup survey earlier this year, and it shows 62% of Americans want all or most abortions made illegal.
CNN asked the question, “Do you think abortion should be legal under any circumstances, legal under only certain circumstances, or illegal in all circumstances?” The survey found 25 percent of Americans want all abortions legal while 21 percent want all abortions illegal, and it had a large group of 53 percent of Americans saying abortions should be legal only under certain circumstances.
However, with a large percentage of Americans opposing abortions except in cases such as taking of the life of the mother, or cases of rape or incest — both of which, combined, constitute less than two percent of all abortions in the nation, according to the Guttmacher Institute — most Americans truly want 100% of 98 percent of the 1.2 million abortions a year made illegal.
A follow-up question CNN asked showed that to be the case.
What is truly remarkable about this poll is that young people are the most firmly against abortion, despite often being very liberal (or maybe just uninformed?):
By age, Americans also oppose abortions — with 59 percent of people aged 18-34, 58 percent of those 35-54 and 64 percent of those over the age of 55 saying all or almost all abortions should become illegal. Younger Americans are most supportive of making all abortions illegal, with 24 percent of 18-34 year-olds saying so and 35 percent saying they want abortions legal only in a few circumstances.
I truly believe that it’s only a matter of time before abortion is largely outlawed in the United States and around the world. And as with slavery and segregation (and maybe global warming?), those in the Democratic Party will once again be the ones clinging to a dying issue and refusing to change with the times.
The United States of Europe: A Powerful Testimony to the Prophetic Power of the Bible
August 16, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · 1 Comment
I still find it incredible how the Bible, a book thousands of years old, predicted many of the events happening today as part of the end times. Check out the following, from express.co.uk:
“David Cameron was under mounting pressure last night to hold a referendum on EU membership amid claims that the Coalition is paving the way for full eurozone financial integration. Tory and Labour MPs believe that Chancellor George Osborne’s hopes for a single eurozone tax system will lead to the EU becoming a fundamentally different organisation to the one the UK joined in 1973.
Many also fear that Britain will come under intense pressure to adapt its tax and regulatory policies to conform more closely with the eurozone once fiscal union is under way, even if the UK remains outside the single currency. Steve Baker, Tory MP for Wycombe, said: “It is very clear that the EU is heading at full speed towards being one country.” Read more
Judge Judy Takes it to Two Freeloaders Abusing the Social Welfare System
August 6, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · Leave a Comment
A recent episode of Judge Judy illustrates abundantly one of the core problems afflicting America today: the freeloader entitlement mentality. In the video below, Judge Judy takes it to two deadbeats who are living off and abusing the social welfare system.
If the county is giving you money for rent, and you’re not using that money for rent but using it for yourself then you’re stealing that money.
I don’t want to pay your rent. The government says that I have to pay your rent. Even officer bird doesn’t want to pay your rent, but if we have to pay your rent, we don’t want the money we send to you for rent to go to anything else other than rent.
I’m sending this tape to Congress.
What’s particularly grating about this is the fact that the real person who got screwed here was the landlord. Make sure to watch the entire video to see what I mean.
Isn’t the liberal solution to poverty always to throw more money at it? Tell me, how is throwing more money at these two deadbeats going to help pull them out of poverty? Seems to me that freebies just reinforce the entitlement freeloader mentality. These two should be banned from the welfare system forever because of this.
Black Tea Partiers Demonized As “Sell Out Negroes” At NAACP Convention
July 28, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · Leave a Comment
Black people apparently must think the correct thoughts and have the correct opinions or they’re really not black, they’re “sell out negroes”. Isn’t this just another form of slavery? If you don’t have the freedom to think for yourself and develop your own opinions, how can you be considered a free person?
This kind of stuff just shows how morally bankrupt and ridiculous so many on the left are. If anybody is keeping the black community down, it’s groups like the NAACP and the Democratic Party that tell people what to think and reinforce their dependence on government.
If you haven’t had the urge to bang your head on a wall in a while, be ready to when you check out the video below.
Obama Talks Out of Both Sides of His Mouth on Raising the Debt Ceiling
July 26, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · Leave a Comment
Obama has proven that no low is too low over this debt ceiling issue. For weeks he’s been fear mongering about how a failure to increase the debt ceiling by August 2 will result in a US default that will cost seniors their Social Security checks and cause the financial system to collapse. Well, today, it turns out that he’s been telling a different story to the big banks. From Fox Business:
While officials from the Obama Administration raised their rhetoric over the weekend about the possibility of a debt default if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, they privately have been telling top executives at major U.S. banks that such an event won’t happen, FOX Business has learned.
In a series of phone calls, administration officials have told bankers that the administration will not allow a default to happen even if the debt cap isn’t raised by the August 2 date Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says the government will run out of money to pay all its bills, including obligations to bond holders. Geithner made the rounds on the Sunday talk shows saying a default is imminent if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, and President Obama issued a similar warning during a Friday press conference after budget negotiations with House Republicans broke down.
Apparently the Great Anointed One, the Messiah, isn’t above scaring seniors if he can get political leverage out of it. This man is not a statesman, he’s worse than a used car salesman. It’s this kind of dishonesty and political gamesmanship that makes people so cynical about politics.
Besides, there’s really not any imminent danger of a default anyway, as Vox Day points out:
Moreover, there is no chance of forced default. In August, there will be a projected $150 billion in tax revenue. Interest payments will only be $29 billion. That leaves more than $120 billion to spend on everything else. So, anyone who claims that default is unavoidable as of August third or anytime in August is blatantly lying.
Again, all this is about is politics, pure and simple. Obama is simply leveraging the serious issue of government overspending and the debt ceiling for political gain. As I’ve pointed out before, with the political left, it’s politics first, everything else second.
Thoughts on Federalist #1: Politics Was Just As Polarized And Vitriolic Back Then As It Is Today
July 26, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · Leave a Comment
Federalist #1 is the first in a series of essays published in newspapers from 1787 to 1788 to argue for the ratification of the new Constitution of the United States. Our newly independent nation had been operating formally under the Articles of Confederation since 1781, but the governmental framework implemented by the Articles was found to be too weak and ineffective to serve the needs of the states. A stronger framework was needed, so a constitutional convention was convened in May 1787 and the Constitution was drafted.
The Federalist Papers were written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison – under the pen name Publius - to explain to the American people why the Constitution was essential, how the new government would work, and how it would protect their liberties. Read more
Guests Discuss Having Violent Sex With Bachmann and Santorum on HBO’s ‘Real Time’ With Bill Maher

In case you forget just how ugly and vile the liberal left can be, make sure you bookmark this page. Bill Maher is pretty much a dirtbag, but this has to be a new low even for him. Check out the following video from his show on HBO called “Real Time”, courtesy of NewsBusters:
Jonah Goldberg: Accusations of Racism Has Become a Punchline
July 7, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · 4 Comments
Jonah Goldberg wrote a great piece at National Review about how the left’s favorite way to demonize the right has become simply a joke.
Accusations of racism toward conservatives reached new and absurd heights once Obama took office and began implementing his left wing agenda. Now that the left has completely overdone it with the racism thing, people are using it as a means to joke around or mock people who are overly sensitive about race.
The article is definitely worth a read and can be found here.
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: N. Korea to Head UN Conference on Disarmament
June 30, 2011 by DiscerningCitizen · 1 Comment
Man, you just can’t make up crazy stuff like this. The Weekly Standard is reporting that North Korea has been selected to head up the UN Conference on Disarmament:
On Tuesday, the United Nations again made itself an international laughing stock – except perhaps to the American taxpayers who continue to foot 22 percent of the bill – by appointing North Korea chair of the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. That would be the same North Korea that, according to an article this week by Senator John Kerry, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has “twice tested nuclear weapons…is developing missiles to carry them…has built facilities capable of producing highly enriched uranium for more nuclear weapons” and has defied a U.N. arms embargo by exporting weapons and sensitive technologies to rogue regimes.
Was there ever a more ineffective and irrelevant bureaucratic quagmire than the UN? It’s simply a vast money pit that endlessly swallows billions of taxpayer dollars even as it seeks to undermine our interests at every turn. The sooner we cut off funding to the UN and boot them from our shores, the better. Maybe they’d be better off taking the penthouse of that giant rocketship looking thing in the center of Pyongyang.
