Redskins No, Blackhawks Si

Stepping into the controversy over the team name for the Washington Redskins in early October, President Obama said in an interview with the AP:

"If I were the owner of the team and I knew that the name of my team, even if they've had a storied history, that was offending a sizable group of people, I'd think about changing it,” Obama said.

But on Monday, the president hosted the NHL Stanley Cup champions, his own hometown Chicago Blackhawks, at the White House, and there was no indication the president felt any reticence about using that team's Native American-derived handle.  The White House tweeted the president's words:

"Championships belong in Chicago. So to the @NHLBlackhawks, thank you for bringing it back home!" —President Obama

Purging The Millitary

WASHINGTON – After multiple top generals described to World Net Daily what they regard as a full-scale “purge” of the U.S. military by the Obama administration, the commander of U.S. Army Garrison Japan has just been summarily relieved of duty and his civilian deputy reassigned, pending a “misconduct” investigation.
Nine generals and flag officers have been relieved of duty under Obama just this year – widely viewed as a very high number – and several sources put the number of senior officers purged during the five years of the Obama administration as close to 200. In response, prominent retired generals – ranging from Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely, a Fox News senior military analyst, to Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, a founder of the Army’s elite Delta Force, to Medal of Honor recipient Maj. Gen. Patrick Henry Brady – have all gone on the record with WND, characterizing Obama’s actions as nothing less than an all-out attack on America’s armed forces.

How To Have A Successful Foreign Policy

My southern correspondent out of The Woodlands, Texas got me interested in conservative writer and talk show host, Dennis Praeger, a little over a year ago. I already knew about him because of his writings but recently The Patriot radio network was picked up in Columbus so I now have a chance to listen to his wit and wisdom on a daily basis. He said something two weeks ago that got me thinking about our foreign policy, past and current. Praeger mentioned that every time the United States liberates a nation and keeps our troops there that nation prospers. Conversely, when we pull out that nation falls to our worst enemies. For example, After World War II we sent in troops to the western part of Germany and did the same in Japan. Look at these two nations today. They are bastions of prosperity because of capitalism. In Europ it was called the Marshall Plan. Unfortunately, FDR was snookered by Joe Stalin causing the eastern bloc to suffer under communism for many years. It wasn't until the great triumvirate of Reagan, Thatcher and John Paul II allowed freedom to spread across the continent because of their determination to destroy Gorbachev's policies.  Then, after the Korean War, we did the same in South Korea. It's now a bright spot in the Far East. If you think I'm kidding check out the number of female golfers who come to this country. North Korea has one golf course. So. Korea has hundreds.
I'm assuming you're aware of what's going on in Iraq today. Two weeks ago a bomb was detonated at a wedding and 59 people died. That was only one day. Since Obama pulled our troops that country has spiraled downward into an abyss. The same things occurred in Viet Nam and Cambodia. Do you really think that when Obama pulls the troops out of Afghanistan that nation will find peace and harmony? What we're going to have is the same dismal future we have in Iraq; dead Americans who were the victims of politics. Isn't that the way it always happens?

Things We All Have To Buy Under The Affordable Care Act

10 Essential Benefits: And some people think this is a good thing. It's no wonder insurance companies are dropping people from their plans.

"The Affordable Care Act requires health-insurance plans to meet certain minimum criteria, including a prohibition against denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. It also limits a subscriber’s out-of-pocket medical costs. For 2014 that amount is $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families (the amount includes deductibles and co-payments, but not premiums). In addition, all plans must include services for the so-called 10 essential benefits: • Preventive and wellness services and chronic-disease management. • Prescription drugs. • Emergency services. • Hospitalization. • Ambulatory patient services. • Rehabilitative services and devices. • Laboratory services. • Mental-health and substance-use-disorder services, including behavioral-health treatment. • Maternity and newborn care. • Pediatric services, including dental and vision" -

I'll tell you one thing. If I get pregnant and can have maternity benefits I'm going to be one happy fella.

His Signature Achievement

It's True. Jesse Jackson Has Officially Lost His Mind

Deceased Republican President Ronald Reagan sought to to permanently ban African Americans from playing college and professional football in the South with white people, civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. alleged in a speech at Furman University on Wednesday evening.
In the same speech he also alleged that the modern Tea Party was born from efforts to sustain segregation.
“Goldwater and Reagan – had they been successful, it would have been illegal for blacks and whites to play together on a Saturday afternoon,” he said.
“You couldn't have had the Carolina Panthers behind the cotton curtain playing the Atlanta Falcons…[inaudible] it would have been illegal.”
In the tirade, recorded by a Furman University student, Jackson went on to claim that if Reagan and former GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater had their way, there would have been no Olympics in Atlanta, and basketball legend Michael Jordan would have been ineligible to play basketball at the University of North Carolina (UNC).
“Michael Jordan couldn't have gone to UNC… [inaudible] it would have been ineligible for him to play at UNC,” he continued. “You couldn't have had the Olympics in Atlanta Georgia. You couldn’t have had the Dallas Cowboys in Houston, Texas, you couldn't have had the Super Bowl in New Orleans or in Atlanta or in Jacksonville or Miami.”

Stick A Fork In Him: He's Done

Reading anything from The American Thinker is good for the soul. Reading about the failure of this president and his inane policies makes my coffee taste better. It's a fun read:

"Ronald Reagan gave us 25 years of prosperity and freedom.  It's high time we fight to get that back.  Before the last election, I told friends that if Barack Obama won reelection, his second term would destroy the Democratic Party and progressivism for a generation.  By the end of his reign, Americans are going to be so tired and soured on Obama, his anointed successor will not stand a chance of becoming the nation's next president.
Barack Obama has become a leader who does not matter -- the stimulus was all Pelosi and ObamaCare was Pelosi and Harry Reid, et al.  What idea was ever his?  Can he point to one thing where he was deeply involved?  He has been our golfing president.  He is so incompetent and uninvolved that it is believable that he did not know the problems with healthcare.gov, the integral component of ObamaCare, a program he proudly put his name to. 
Well...after the IRS targeting of political opponents, the NSA spying on everyone -- including the tapping of the German Chancellor's cell phone, the Fast and Furious dead, Solyndra and all the other crony capitalist backroom deals, the Pigford payouts, his $6 trillion addition to the national debt, the 13.6% U6 unemployment rate, the increase in food stamp and disability rolls, the Benghazi dead and the cover-up, the Syria embarrassment, the racial divisiveness, the doubling of the price of gasoline, and now, Healthcare.gov, people are starting to realize a thing or two about Mr. Hope and Change".
