There are two stories today about the latest government outrages that should turn the people out with pitchforks to run the corrupt villians out of office.
The first is about an organization called the 'Voter Participation Center', which has been mailing pre-populated voter registration applications to over 200 thousand people who fit the profile of typical Democrat voters.
Despite the typical left-wing spin the story is getting in the so-called "mainstream press", there's a lot more to the story. Anyone with a curious mind might wonder, where did this database come from, and how did dead people and pets make it into the database? And why would the organization say they didn't know the database was faulty when it's clear they did and do?
This 'Voter Participation Center' is another one of those left-wing organizations of the same type as most of the others we hear about. It's run by the Center for American Progress and funded by Soros, of course. The organization of course has close ties to the Obama campaign. And it's not just doing this in Virginia, but in all of this year's "battleground" states.
Here's how it works: While Eric Holder sues all of the states that passed Voter ID laws in hopes he can stop them from being implemented until after November's election, this organization is mass-mailing pre-filled voter registrations to potential Democrat voters, plus convicted felons, illegal immigrants, pets, and dead folks. The strategy is to get living humans to forge signatures on the forms so they themselves or other operatives can show up at the polls to vote for Obama, either as themselves while being ineligible to vote or impersonating a pet or deceased person.
When Holder rails against GOP voter suppression, what he really means is the suppression of illegal votes.
The second story is about Chick Fil A. The mayors of Boston and Chicago have publicly promised to block any attempt of the food chain to open any stores in those cities. No, the company hasn't done anything wrong. Those mayors simply don't like the fact that Chick Fil A's Presidnet happens to be a Christian who has spoken out in favor of traditional marriage.
In response to the company president's statement of a personal opinion, these mayors are illegally trying to ruin the company and slandering its president. He would be more than justified to sue both cities for such fascist policies, whether he actually wants to open stores in those cities or not.
I think being slandered and banned by the Chicago gangster Emanuel is a badge of honor. If I can find a Chick Fil A near where I'm working next Wednesday, I would be happy to participate in the planned show of support by getting lunch there. I encourage anyone else who opposes oppressive government suppression by the thought police to do the same.
Welcome. This blog is dedicated to a search for the truth. Truth in all aspects of life can often be elusive, due to efforts by all of us to shade facts to arrive at our predisposed version of truth. My blogs sometimes try to identify truth from fiction and sometimes are just for fun or to blow off steam. Comments are welcome.

A Sad Week
The whole week makes me sad. The Colorado movie theater shooting. The Penn State punishment. The Obama campaign calling all those opposed to his re-election racists. Those who try to use Colorado for political gain. The girl in Chicago who was killed by Planned Parenthood. Obamacare was upheld in clear violation of constitutional principles. Obama vilified all entrepreneurs with his "you didn't build that!" speech.
When I was young, no stories like these ever made the news. I think it's not because the stories were suppressed, but because they just didn't happen.
Faith and religion are under attack. People who support Christian and family values are ridiculed and called evil. Americans now call good evil and evil good. What was formerly the best country in the history of the planet is circling the drain. We're setting records in entitlements and welfare payments, children without a father, illiteracy, and the chronically unemployed.
It makes me sad.

Speaking of Truth and Liars
Ironically we've been subjected to the Obama campaign talking points hammering Romney as an outsourcer and perhaps criminal for stashing some money in Swiss and Bermuda banks.
The truth of the outsourcer charge is that it's a lie. There's no evidence that Romney personally ordered, suggested, or otherwise facilitated the outsourcing of American jobs to foreign countries while with Bain Capital. And of course, there's also no evidence that Romney broke any laws by opening offshore bank accounts.
But to the Obama campaign, the truth is irrelevant. The objective for them is never to tell the truth, but rather to create a narrative against Romney that will make him an unacceptable alternative to Obama to occupy the White House.
They understand that the typical voter doesn't pay any attention whatsoever to the campaign. So all they have to do is saturate the airwaves with simple themes that those uninformed folks can't avoid hearing.
So talk to the average American, and you might hear things like "Romney only cares about his rich friends", or "Romney's policies will destroy the environment", or "Romney wants to outsource even more jobs to China", or "Romney wants to destroy Medicare and Social Security", or "I heard Romney is a tax cheat who has millions of dollars stashed away in Swiss bank accounts".
Those people are Obama voters. Not one of those sentences is true, but they will believe them all anyway.
If Romney wants to play that game, he could saturate the airwaves with ads putting out his own simple messages against Obama. Like Obama's a communist who is transforming America into the Soviet Union. Or Obama's plan is to bankrupt America so he can rise from the rubble as our dictator. Or Obama will destroy the churches and trample the first amendment to impose a officially secular and atheistic society. Or Obama wants to deny us our home heating, air conditioning and electricity and purposely drive up our pump price for gas to an unaffordable 10 bucks a gallon.
Oh wait, most of those are probably true.
Doesn't matter though, because whatever message Romney wants to put out there is ignored by the press. What they can't ignore they'll just try to refute as racist propaganda. Romney can't get anything through the media filter, which is now the functional equivalent of the Soviet Pravda. Nothing that casts the great leader in less than a positive light will reach the ears of the public.
Word of mouth isn't going to work either. Obama democrats refuse to listen to anyone who would try to pass on the truth. Their worldview rejects the possibility that any conservative idea could ever be anything but evil.
It would be nice to be able to believe those few voices on the Right who are convinced Romney will sweep Obama out of office in a landslide on par with Reagan's beatdown of Jimmy Carter. But it requires more folks to actually start paying attention and begin trying to separate truth from lies.
We have about 4 months left to find out whether the majority chooses the door to slavery and tyranny or the door to continued freedom.

Living the Crazy Lie Life
It struck me that the average Democrat goes through life under a system of beliefs that are based on a very large compendium of lies. I was having a conversation this week in which we were discussing the question, are most folks of left-wing persuasion really true-blue believers, or just gullible victims of the false message of the left?
Let's examine a list of lies that most Democrats I know have swallowed, hook, line, and sinker.
9/11 was an inside job
If it wasn't an inside job, Bush parlayed it into an illegal and immoral war against Iraq
There would be no such thing as terrorism if our country just stopped greedily grasping for middle east oil
Bush lied, people died
Deficits and Debt don't really matter
Besides, if the rich just start paying their fair share, the deficits will go away
Voter ID laws disenfranchise voters
Undocumented immigrants (illegal immigrants is such a nasty phrase) only want a better life for their families
Those who want the government to enforce immigration law are racists
Fast & Furious was a failed Bush-era operation
All Eric Holder did was shut it down once he discovered its existence
The only reason Holder and Obama are withholding F&F documents from congress is because it's nothing but a partisan election-year witch hunt
There is no God
Life on Earth evolved from some chemical reactions that turned basic elements into single-celled organisms that over billions of years evolved and mutated into the human race, in gross violation of the theory of Entropy
Education will improve if only the rich pay their fair share in taxes so teachers salaries can be increased
Global Warming will destroy the planet 10 years ago
The only way to save the planet is for everyone to give up their cars, move to a big city and ride mass transit to work
The only solution to environmental disaster is global socialism
ObamaCare is about providing healthcare access to poor people
Healthcare is a basic human right, as is free contraception paid for by Roman Catholics
Catholics and Republicans want to outlaw contraceptives because they hate women
Conservatives oppose Obama because they are inherently racist
Nobody could possibly oppose Obama's policy priorities unless they are racist sexist homophobic bigots
Since Obama has quelled Islamic hatred and improved America's relationship with the rest of the world, we can disband the military and stop making war
When gas prices hit $4 during the Bush era, it was because Bush & Cheney were engaged in a conspiracy to enrich their buddies in the oil industry
This year, when gas hit $4 again under Obama, it was just because of market forces no president can control
Government subsidized windmills and solar panels will free us from awful global warming-causing carbon-based fuels
Unemployment is 8.2 percent
Obama had no other choice than to nationalize General Motors and give Chrysler away to Fiat
Excessive government union benefits have no effect on current federal, state, and local government budget crises
If only the nasty Republicans would stop blocking him, Obama will help us all make more money and no longer have to worry about our mortgages or medical expenses
I'm poor because somebody else is rich
Warren Buffet pays less taxes than his secretary
Democrats care about ordinary middle-class people
Obama's right: The only way the economy can recover is by having the government hand out money and free stuff to people
Easing up on regulatory and tax burdens won't help the economy recover, but will just go back to the evil Bush-era practices of licensing greedy corporate types to mistreat their workers
Republicans care only about rich people
The list goes on and on and on ...
