The Obama Care Ax Falls Close to Home....
Massive Layoffs as Obamacare Looms
I ran into my neighbor this morning. We exchanged pleasantries for a moment and when I asked how things were I was told they were laid-off yesterday.
They have worked at a medical device manufacturer for 30 plus years and lo and behold just after the election they are out on the street.
I know they are Obama voters and I'm pretty sure they were on Tuesday.
When I spoke up and said "That sucks, I have heard that there will be lots of layoffs in the medical device manufacturing field due to the huge tax burden coming with Obama care"
I was told "That's not it, it's greedy corporations trying to increase profits"
I wished them well and was on my way.
It sucks when you lose your job especially after 30 plus years BUT I can't help but think to myself
that THIS is what YOU voted for.

Another Perspective On The Coming Storm....
h/t to Brock at FreeNorthCarolina
It's a cold night here in the mountains and Piedmont of the Carolinas, and as I promised some time ago, I have a nice, warm fire in the fireplace and hot chocolate to drink, if you want it. Perfect for winter months.
You are going to need it in order to swallow the subject matter for tonight's discussion.

Verbatim post from BUBBA
» Game Called on Account of Darkness
The lights have gone out in America now. They may come back. They may not. It’s up to us. No one is going to come help us do it. Other countries have America. We have ourselves.
….
Every time people ask me why the left has such a grip on this country, my answer is because they worked for it. It’s the answer that most people don’t want to hear, but it’s true. The left has been planning this for a while. They have been playing the long game, building the infrastructure and indoctrinating generations. And to beat them, we will have to do the same thing.
….
Revolutions are not born out of success, they are born out of despair. They rise out of the dark hours of the night. They come from the understanding that all the other options are running out. Sometimes you have to fall down to rise and sometimes you have to hit bottom, to gather one last breath and fight to reach the top.
This is still a wonderful country. It is the finest place that this civilization has produced. Despite the events of the last day, it is worth fighting for.
I am already sick and tired of hearing/reading right wing reasons and excuses for Romney’s loss.
I don’t blame Mitt Romney, or Paul Ryan, or the campaign staff, or the GOP or Ron Paul or Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter or …… After four years of opportunity to learn who and what Obama is, there shouldn’t have been more than 200 people willing to vote for him. Ernest T. Bass should have been able to beat Obama – without Ernest T. even knowing he was on the ballot.
Obama won because 50% of Americans have absolutely no understanding of what Obama is and what is at stake with his re-election. And for that you should blame the media, the liberal education system that churns out generation after generation of good little socialists and the entertainment industry that works to keep them properly propagandized. Blame them. Hold them responsible. Punish them.
You knew four years ago, exactly, that our constitutionally protected free press had become nothing more than the PR arm of the dhimmicrat party. You knew the media serves socialism. You knew the media condemned you as a racist, a terrorist and a psycho.
Did you stop funding the media? Did you stop paying their bills?
Are you still paying for cable/satellite TV? Are you still shoveling money into the coffers of people and organizations that unabashedly facilitated the first AND second term of the miserable piece of shit named Obama?
In the oft repeated words of that POS: “Let me be perfectly clear”. As long as you can still tune your TV to MSNBC or Comedy Central or MTV or CNN (blah,blah,blah) you aren’t serious when you whine about the biased media or the regime they helped put in place …. and until you cut your sponsorship of them do me a favor and SHUT UP.
Don’t tell me about what Romney should have said or the GOP should have done while signing a check to purchase the lies and treachery of the mainstream media.
Here’s a few examples of the blatant bias of the media – all from just the last couple of months!
» CBS Buries Kroft Asking Obama Why He Skirted Using ‘Terrorism’ Term the Day After Benghazi Attack » Soledad O’Brien Finds the Positive In 14.6 Percent Underemployment » ABC News Targets Group Fighting Voter Fraud, Hints at Racial Motive » With Election Over, ABC Wonders About Obama’s ‘Cover-Up,’ ‘Refusal’ to Talk about Libya » Benghazi a Blip on Media’s Radar – Less Than 2 Minutes of Coverage on ABC, CBS; NBC Punts » NY Times Called Bush’s 2.7% GDP a ‘Letdown,’ But Obama’s Lower GDP a ‘Steady Improvement’ » Reporter Covering Romney: ’40 Percent Chance He Says Something Stupid’ » Mainstream Media ‘Remarkably Reticent’ to Pursue Benghazi Cover-Up, Burden Has ‘Fallen’ Onto Fox News » Instead of Exposing Libya Bombshell, ABC Hypes ‘Mystery Monkey’ and Yawning Dogs » Snooki, Vacuum Inventor Interviews Get More Air Time Than Benghazi » NBC Brings on Two Obama Supporters to Discuss Election, Bills it as ‘Left vs. Right’ » ABC Cheers ‘Laudable’ Candy Crowley for Propping Up Obama in Debate
So, in the coming bad times when you see and hear those network anchors filling you in on the latest depression update, remember they made it happen.
Enough for now about the media. What about those celebrity clowns that funneled money into the dhimmicrat party and the Obama re-election campaign? All those ‘stars’ that hosted fund raisers, made ads and videos, sat in Letterman’s chair to make fun of you, mock you …. and did it with your money in their pocket?
Still feeding the moonbats? Still buying, renting or otherwise paying for the products of the people that work so diligently to destroy everything you claim to believe in?
Are you still rationalizing that you’re not really stabbing yourself in the back, not really sacrificing your children’s freedom, not really paying your executioners?
Are you still paying for entertainment without regard for who produced it? Who is making money from your entertainment purchase? Do you still donate to the bank accounts of Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock after they publicly insulted you as a racist? That is, they label you as a racist for opposing a Marxist president, while proudlyadmitting proclaiming their support is based solely on his skin color.
How about Matt Damon, John Cusak, Bette Midler, Ashely Judd, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp (and a couple thousand others) who are absolutely anti-everything-you-believe-in? Do you still purchase movies without studying the list of participants in it’s production? If so, then you’re not really serious when you whine about the next four years. Do me a favor and SHUT UP.
I know it’s hard to keep up with, hard to remember whether Danny Glover is a patriot or does he kiss commie-tyrant butt? Is Gwyneth Paltrow an American patriot or did she denounce America as an evil empire and move to England? Does Steve Earle cherish his American heritage or does he proudly label himself as a devout communist?
I’ll try to help you with that.

And one more thing …. What does it mean when I hear a Republican say it’s time to move to New Zealand?
It means I’m close enough to slap the crap out of them.

» Don’t Blame Romney, And Don’t Blame The Campaign…
Obama ran and won with an atrocious record, without anything remotely resembling a positive agenda for a second term, with a campaign based on lies, slander and hatred.
That’s what he ran on. And that’s what he won on.
….
It’s the electorate’s fault.
The current iteration of the Democrat Party is socialist to the core. It isn’t amoral, it’s deliberately immoral. It believes in government-sponsored infanticide, government-sponsored theft, unpatrolled borders, the destruction of the 2nd Amendment, the deliberate destruction of Pax Americana in favor of what can only be envisioned as the rise of a Muslim caliphate and the deliberate destruction of the nuclear family. It believes in the redistribution of wealth rather than its creation, which is perhaps the most offensive concept to the American economic ideal imaginable.
It believes these things and it no longer hides from them, as it once did.
And one more thing …. What does it mean when I hear a Republican say it’s time to move to New Zealand?
It means I’m close enough to slap the crap out of them.

DON'T Feed The Beast..
verbatim post from "WILSONBLOG"
I've been thinking about this awhile, long before last night's debacle. My ideas certainly aren't original, smarter men and women than me have thought the same thoughts. I'm just repeating them. It's time that we that love this country start putting them into action.
This monster that we call "The Government" has been out of control a long time and only gets worse each day. In the next four years it will probably become unbearable to those of us that cherish freedom and individuality.
So what can we do?
There are many things we can do and one that would help the most is to stop feeding the monster. The monster can't run without money. Don't feed the beast.
1) Find ways to pay less income taxes. Most of us can't just quit our jobs to stop paying income taxes. We've got bills to pay. But can you afford to work a few less hours a week? If you could, working less would help starve the monster with the added benefit of giving you more time to enjoy your life. Do you have an accountant that takes advantage of every (legal) tax loop available to you? You should never pay a cent more than legally required.
2) Find ways to pay less sales taxes. Do you really need that new gizmo? Could you find a used one that will do the same for much less cost? Can you just do without it altogether? If there is a product of service you really need can you find a way to barter for it instead? Stop paying into the government coffers; they're just going to waste it anyway.
3) Can you get money back from the government? Is there some program you qualify for but don't take advantage of? Why? Pride? If there is some program that you legally could use do it. There's nothing immoral about it and the less money the monster has the quicker it dies. Bleed it dry.
4) Find like-minded people to do business with. Never willingly give your money to any business person or company that supports this government. Only give your money to people that believe in the ideas you do.
In general the less money that changes hands the better. Every penny that isn't paid in sales or income taxes brings the monster's death that much sooner. Every new burden on the monster only makes it weaker. There are millions of us in this country that still believe that "government" is not the answer. If we all helped, if only in a little way, we could end this madness. I'm willing to try. Are you?

My Friend's Optimistic Text Made Me Laugh...
"Well at least he can't do it again"
Thanks Leo, I laughed for a few seconds.
Thanks Leo, I laughed for a few seconds.
Sorrow
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls

Chicago Source Tells Author Brad Thor: Obama Campaign Planning to Proclaim Early Victory to ‘Demoralize Romney Supporters’
Done...
With a black marker I cast my votes. Now time will tell.
The voting was moved to the high school since they expected a large turnout. I got there at 7:00 and sat in traffic just to get in to the lot for about 10 minutes. After that it was about 15 minutes in line and another 10 or so to get out of the lot. Overall it was quiet. There were a few people holding signs for the local challengers to the Dems in power. As I was leaving the Obama/ Warren moonbats were convening at the entrance ( who is the patron St. of brake failure? I might say a prayer).
My opinion on this election is that Obama and his policies and administration need to be stopped. Even thought Mitt isn't the best candidate that this country needs I feel it will turn the ship enough to help ( I hope).
We are still in a mess overall and things aren't going to get better over night.
I feel the best way to make the change that some want, i.e. Gary Johnson, needs to happen at the local and state level first. We are not going to be able to change the DC government without taking over the smaller ones first.
My opinions, that's all.
One last side note as to how fucked we really are.
