New Yorkers are Fools - Comrade De Blasio Takes Over

De Blasio the Commie has a prayer to save blacks and some other animals from slavery. How "forward" of him. m/r
De Blasio wants to put small business people out of work by banning horse-drawn carriages, a familiar site in tourist-friendly Central Park. “We are going to get rid of horse and carriages, period,” he said previously, saying the animals are not well treated.
The local Horse and Carriage Association points out that tourist carriages aren’t the only users of equine labor. The mayor “better end then the mounted police, the park rangers and everything like that. Because they are walking on the same pavement.”

Communist-sympathizing radical Bill de Blasio has laid out an ambitious, far-left agenda as he begins what is destined to be a disastrous reign as New York’s 109th mayor.
Leveling left-wingers, with their perverse obsession with income equality, are looking eagerly to the city in the hope that the new mayor will “morph New York City’s municipal machinery into a closely watched laboratory for populist theories of government that have never before been enacted on such a large scale,” according to a fawning New York Times profile.
In a pie-in-the-sky inaugural address, de Blasio promised class-based hatred and civil unrest in pursuit of so-called social justice.
“We recognize a city government’s first duties: to keep our neighborhoods safe; to keep our streets clean; to ensure that those who live here – and those who visit – can get where they need to go in all five boroughs. But we know that our mission reaches deeper. We are called to put an end to economic and social inequalities that threaten to unravel the city we love. And so today, we commit to a new progressive direction in New York. And that same progressive impulse has written our city’s history. It’s in our DNA.”
De Blasio’s ascendancy could also help Democrats at the national level two years from now.
The fact that in 2016 America’s largest metropolis and the critical battleground state of Virginia will be under the control of longtime Clinton loyalists is bound to be helpful to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

Socialism Stinks - The Word of the Year for 2013: Redistribution

And so does Hilary Clinton for that matter.  m/r

The Word of the Year for 2013: Redistribution
by BURT Folsom on DECEMBER 30, 2013

Much of the president’s effort in 2013 has been to try to redistribute wealth from a small group of wealthy voters to a larger group of less affluent voters. Obamacare, for example, turned out to be about redistributing healthcare dollars from rich to poor: Make a small group pay more for medical care and give the money to those who earn less. The larger group receiving the subsidies, so the theory goes, will repay President Obama and his cohorts at election time.
FDR popularized redistribution in the 1930s through his New Deal programs. One of FDR’s supporters, V. G. Coplen of Indiana, explained redistribution through the WPA program this way: “What I think will help is to change the WPA management from top to bottom. Put men in there who are in favor of using these Democratic projects to make votes for the Democratic Party.”
Ever since the 1930s, redistribution has been the main tool in the Democratic tool box. There are more middle class and poor people than rich people, so taking from the rich to give to others is a natural vote getter.
There are two practical problems with redistribution. First, is economic–you can only depress an economy when you redistribute. ...
The second problem is political.

인사말, 동지! 북한 뉴스 프로그램에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 번역은 매우 나쁘다. 하지만 선택의 여지가 없었다. 김정은은 구찌 가방과 핵무기를 샀다. 우리는 번역가를 고용 남은 돈이 없다. 아니면 먹고.

뉴스로 돌아 가기.북한은 미국에 승리입니다. 악마 군주 오바마 대통령은 북한의 보건 의료를 사랑한다. 그래서 그는 개별적인 위임을 만들었습니다.

당신이 보험을 구입하지 않는 경우, 처벌은 가혹하다. 이 파충류는 벌금을 지불 할 것입니다! 당신은 재교육 캠프에 절인 브로콜리를 먹을 것이다! 그리고 최악의, 당신은 MSNBC의 "에드 슐츠 쇼"의 무한 루프를 볼 것입니다.

대사 데니스로드 먼은 새로운 5 개년 계획을 관리합니다. 그렇지 않으면, 오바마의 헬스 케어 계획은 죽을 것이다. HillaryCare 20 년 전 그랬던 것처럼.

그리고 오늘 밤 우리의 세계의 일부! 용기! 주파수는, 케네스 무엇입니까? 평양을 고급스럽게 숙박.

Obamacare is given an out, but he won't take it - Supreme Court justice grants exemption to contraception mandate

Sticking it to Obama right in the bust - Churchill's bust unites Washington in bombast and circumstance

“A remarkable example of modern art” growled Churchill 
when the grateful parliament presented him with a portrait 
for his 80th birthday in 1954. A painter himself, 
Churchill did not like the portrait by Graham Sutherland 
for it depicted him as a querulous old man instead of the
 bulldoggish statesman who had faced down Hitler.
Sutherland was commissioned by both Houses of Parliament
 to paint a full-length portrait of Churchill in 1954, 
for which only this study survives. 
The finished painting, presented to Churchill, was 
destroyed by his wife Clementine Churchill.
The Bust ceremony, from October, was just replayed on C-SPAN. The spectacle was an embarrassment.
Congress answers the affirmative action president for returning Churchill's Bust to Britain as his first and insultingly stupid act, to presage many to follow, as president.
Unfortunately, this ridiculous ceremony would have been as pleasing to Winston Churchill as was the presentation of his portrait for his 80th Birthday (which seems to have mysteriously ended up on a bonfire) after returning to serve as Prime Minister. m/r


There was no reference to another Churchill bust, recently removed from the White House.

Churchill's bust unites Washington in bombast and circumstance | World news | The Guardian
DC's elite gather to honour former PM, wax lyrical for 'one of history's great love stories' and sway to Roger Daltrey's crooning (how sad).

Paul Lewis in Washington
The Guardian, Wednesday 30 October 2013


In 1814, the British invaded Washington and set fire to the Capitol building. They returned to the same spot on Wednesday to honour a bust to Britain's wartime prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill, with a ceremony capped with a performance from Roger Daltrey of The Who.
"I'll tip my hat to the new constitution," Daltrey sang to the approving VIPs. "Take a bow for the new revolution." 
The unveiling of the bust said much about the once great bond between the United States and Britain, but less about what it has become. 
Churchill's arrival in Statuary Hall is the culmination of two-year effort by the Republican speaker of the House, John Boeher, who passed a resolution to provide an "appropriate" honour to Churchill in the US Capitol. 
Boehner called Churchill, who in 1963 was made an honorary US citizen, "the best friend the United States ever had" and the architect of "a beautiful and, of course, special relationship". He called the connection "one of history's great love stories".

In This New Year We Are Engaged In A Cold Civil War

We are at the point of irreconcilable differences. Those of us who want freedom, and to be left alone, need to push back against the government. Become absolute refuseniks against Obamacare! m/r

"My personal preference is a restoration of the constitutional values of limited government that made us a great nation." ~ Walter Williams

Parting Company - Walter E. Williams - Page full

Walter E. Williams | Jan 01, 2014

Here's a question that I've asked in the past that needs to be revisited. Unless one wishes to obfuscate, it has a simple yes or no answer. If one group of people prefers strong government control and management of people's lives while another group prefers liberty and desires to be left alone, should they be required to enter into conflict with one another and risk bloodshed and loss of life in order to impose their preferences on the other group? Yes or no. My answer is no; they should be able to peaceably part company and go their separate ways.
The problem our nation faces is very much like a marriage in which one partner has an established pattern of ignoring and breaking the marital vows. Moreover, the offending partner has no intention to mend his ways. Of course, the marriage can remain intact while one party tries to impose his will on the other and engages in the deviousness of one-upsmanship and retaliation. Rather than domination or submission by one party, or domestic violence, a more peaceable alternative is separation.
I believe our nation is at a point where there are enough irreconcilable differences between those Americans who want to control other Americans and those Americans who want to be left alone that separation is the only peaceable alternative. Just as in a marriage where vows are broken, our rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution have been grossly violated by a government instituted to protect them. These constitutional violations have increased independent of whether there's been a Democrat-controlled Washington or a Republican-controlled Washington.
