Did you see the gorilla? (Learn more at www.theinvisiblegorilla.com)

Let’s see. America is currently engaged in:

1. Iraq
2. Afghanistan

– Placed there by President GW Bush.

Also engaged in:

3. Egypt
4. Libya

– Placed there by Mr Barack Hussein Obama.

You know: the Peace President. The One who swore he’d close Gitmo. And remove us from all wars. The One who bows and scrapes to every foreign leader. Who swore he’d proffer the most open and transparent presidency ever.

The One who passed ObakaKare in the dead of night because he could. [Currently receiving massive pushback.]

And now, he has shipped 100 American soldiers as “advisors” to the following nations:

5. Uganda
6. South Sudan
7. Central African Republic
8. Democratic Republic of the Congo

“Advisors.”

To my older readers: does this euphemism sound vaguely familiar, eh?

Whilst, in the meantime, Mr Obama, you and your fellow Leftists are calling for a drastic reduction in the military?

Whilst, concurrently, you insist upon sending our military to more points of the globe than President Bush ever envisioned?

Well done, sir; well done! Let’s push every fiscal boundary, break every budgetary rule, stretch our internal and external resources to their very thinnest and then insist on no replenishment!

Excellent!

Obama suffers from Father Hunger?

Those who follow the news know that the state of Alabama passed the nation’s toughest law on illegal invaders.

That act was held to be lawful and kept mostly intact recently by a federal judge. From Reuters:

U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn ruled that Alabama could authorize police to detain people suspected of being in the country illegally if they cannot produce proper documentation when stopped for any reason.

The judge also upheld provisions requiring public schools to determine the legal residency of children upon enrollment and barring illegal immigrants from getting a driver’s license or business license.

Resultingly, with no surprise, illegals are fleeing Alabama. Those who enjoyed the benefits of low wages paid to illegal workers are wringing their hands. The media — no surprise there — also tried to turn it into an issue of race:

Jose, a 16-year-old undocumented student in Pelham, remains in school but worries about what might happen to him.

“Alabama makes me live in fear. If mom drives me to school, a policeman could arrest me just because of the color of my skin,” the Mexican-born Jose said on Wednesday. “I have to be afraid of my teachers, the people I look up to.”

Poor Jose. With darker skin. But if the nation of France, populated with lily-whites, lay to our south with the same circumstances I’d be making the same contention: illegal means illegal. And each sovereign nation holds the ability to decide who crosses its borders and under what conditions. Melanin count means nothing; Reconquista means everything. From MexicanOccupation:

La Raza is a fascist Mexican supremacy organization to keep the borders between Narco-Mex and your jobs OPEN! It’s all about the WALMARTing of America. Just look at what it has done to LA RAZA LAND NEVADA!

La Raza has total contempt for freedom of speech. Anyone that disagrees is a “racist.” La Raza means “The Race”. . .the Mexican race. In the sanctuary county of Los Angeles, Mexican gangs are murdering African-Americans to “cleanse” the communities they are taking over. Google it!

As the blog points out, America has now become Mexico’s welfare and prison system.

With that in mind, Fornicalia keeps on pandering to Mexicans. The United States keeps on pandering to Mexicans. Let’s be honest: not “hispanics.” MEXICANS.

As I’ve said: “demography is prophecy.” Ask any Euro nation now. Pandering 101:

With the nation’s Latino population booming and now the country’s largest minority group, the Obama administration’s top Hispanic official is concerned that the federal government is not giving enough attention to Hispanic history and culture.

Are GOWPs having babies? Why, that would be: NO.

You are so about to reap what you deserve, Leftists.

During Tuesday’s GOP debate, Newt Gingrich made another series of incredible points that few noticed and most glossed over. From BusinessInsider.com:

Gingrich first sought to tie the protests to “left-wing agitators” before calling for the firing of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.

He then doubled down, calling on former Sen. Chris Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank to be thrown in jail, not anyone on Wall Street. Asked if he actually meant for them to do prison time, Gingrich said he did, alluding to past ethical scandals.

From a transcript, Newt Gingrich said:

KAREN TUMULTY, The Washington Post: So, Speaker Gingrich, it sounds like Congresswoman Bachmann does not believe that Wall Street is to blame for the financial mess. You’ve said that the current protests on Wall Street are, in your words, “the natural product of Obama’s class warfare.”

Does this mean that these people who are out there protesting on Wall Street, across the country, have no grievance?

GINGRICH: No, let me draw a distinction. I think there — virtually every American has a reason to be angry. I think virtually every American has a reason to be worried.

I think the people who are protesting on Wall Street break into two groups. One is left-wing agitators who would be happy to show up next week on any other topic, and the other is sincere middle-class people who, frankly, are very close to the Tea Party people and actually care.

And you can tell which group is which. The people who are decent, responsible citizens pick up after themselves. The people who are just out there as activists trash the place and walk off and are proud of having trashed it. So let’s draw that distinction.

If they want to really change things, the first person to fire is Bernanke, who is a disastrous chairman of the Federal Reserve. The second person to fire is Geithner.

The fact is, in both the Bush and the Obama administrations, the fix has been in. And I think it’s perfectly reasonable for people to be angry. But let’s be clear who put the fix in: The fix was put in by the federal government.

And if you want to put people in jail — I want to second what Michele said — you ought to start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and let’s look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who profited from the environment, and the politicians who put this country in trouble.

CHARLIE ROSE: Clearly you’re not saying they should go to jail?

GINGRICH: Well, in Chris Dodd’s case, go back and look at the countryside (sic) deals. In Barney Frank’s case, go back and look at the lobbyists he was close to at — at Freddie Mac. All I’m saying is…

(UNKNOWN): So if he were… GINGRICH: Everybody — everybody in the media who wants to go after the business community ought to start by going after the politicians who have been at the heart of the sickness which is weakening this country and ought to start with Bernanke, who has still not been exposed for the hundreds of billions of dollars.

(APPLAUSE) And I’m going to say one last thing. I want to repeat this. Bernanke has in secret spent hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out one group and not bailing out another group. I don’t see anybody in the news media demanding the kind of transparency at the Fed that you would demand of every other aspect of the federal government. And I think it is corrupt and it is wrong for one man to have that kind of secret power.

No one thinks that Newt Gingrich has a fractional chance in Hell of acquiring the GOP nomination for president, what with his history of indiscretions and seminal buy-off on so-called Global Warming (though many people think, instead, another mini-Ice Age is truly coming!).

That said, Gingrich possesses historical knowledge and insight into our current economic crisis.

He knows wherein the skeletons lie.

I can’t help but think that the MSM/DEM is doing its level best, along with the standard GOP Establishment, to immure in stone the “frontrunner” for Republicans in 2012: Mitt Romney. So many media outlets, great and small, are attempting to say “it’s all over” but the crying. Romney’s “the guy.” Period.

So, when Chris Christie endorses Mitt Romney, is the GOP field essentially “done”? And, moreover, what does Chris Christie get out of it? A cabinet appointment? A VP spot?

When I think and consider the current GOP fleet, I keep coming back to Herman Cain.

He’s not perfect; not by any means. No candidate can possibly be.

But I like him for a few salient reasons: he’s actually had to meet a payroll. He’s pulled himself individually up by his bootstraps. He’s bought into and invested himself into a Capitalist paradigm. And he’s not a politician. Many people have said, in his denigration: “he’s NOT a politician!”

And I respond: “So dedicated politicians have done what for us?” Why is it that we hold politicians on another elevated level entirely?

Herman Cain now says: “I’m going after Romney!”

As well he should.

Harry Belafonte, the ancient and addled non-factored entertainer, says:

The Republican party, the tea party, all those forces to the extreme right have consistently tried to come up with representations for what they call black, what they call the real Negroes,” he said, naming former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell as examples. “They’re heroes for some people. But for a lot of us, they’re not. Herman Cain is just the latest incarnation of what is totally false for the needs of our community and the needs of our nation. I think he’s a bad apple. And people should look at his hole card. He’s not what he says he is.”

Right.

Because Herman Cain’s skin is black.

But he doesn’t tow the Defeatist/Racist Card.

Right.
