John, are you not Paying Attention!?

Today John Podesta stated ‘Joe Biden… needs to make up his mind whether he’s going to run (For President) or not.‘

Hey John, Joe Biden Does Not Want To Run For President.

What Biden wants is a pay off.
He wants promises for his family and himself.
He wants Hillary to, in essence, pay for his endorsement.

This has been clear from the beginning.

You might as well get with the program.

I know your statement today, John, was to send the message that Old Joe ‘can expect no graft here’… but Hillary is in deep.  And you ALL know it.
Short of pulling her out of the race due to some supposed illness, or more realistically a social illness turned grave possessed by her husband, you’re running out of options.

Even Clinton Crony Lanny Davis knows Biden is a buffoon…

So just cut the guy a check, or better yet promise Hunter a place in a Hillary Administration. Whatever.

But you better do it soon.

Until you do he will continue being Side-Show Joe entertaining the passengers while Hillary sinks.

What is Fascism in a Nutshell?

Boiled down to its basic form, Fascism is simply a lazy man’s Socialism.  (Some might argue a “Smart” man’s Socialism as it recognizes the inability of Labor to effectively run business.)

It is everything Socialism is, except the private ownership of Industry “is allowed” or tolerated…

So long as the Industry in question cooperates with the Government.
If said Industry fails to cooperate with the Government, the Government will step in and control that Industry.

Control comes in a number of forms.

There is the outright seizing of that Industry or Company. (The Classic Socialist paradigm.  As demonstrated with General Motor’s.)

There is the implementation of new regulations placed upon that Industry or Company with penalties ranging from fiscal to penal.

There is Banning of Industry, or Industry practices effectively putting that entity out of business. (There are also trade policies which can be manipulated in ways designed to harm the business model of the offending Company or Industry.)

That’s it folks. That’s the only difference. (The Socialists in 30’s Germany added a “Nationalization” component… but paired it with Global Expansionism, and Divine Right, thus making it meaningless in modifying the definition of Fascism and rendering it a difference without a distinction between it and Socialism.

I bring this up, because the cooperation between the Phone Companies and Government fits the description.

The Government demanded the records from the phone companies and in return gave them immunity from your suits.  The Scheme is an old one.  Some thugs come into your bar and trash it… the next day a guy shows up and says he’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again, as long as you pay him a monthly fee.  The Mob has operated this way for years.

There are many examples, but the collection of Innocent American Citizen’s phone records, e-mail, etc. is happening right now…

Give us $260 Million or we let another Diplomat Die!

In what appears to be a desperate attempt to blame “Congress” (they actually mean the House of Representatives… apparently we need to take the word “Congress” back too.) the Democrats are making the State Department look like the terrorists.

So, what do we do? Do we negotiate with terrorists? Do you think they will actually let another Diplomat die if we don’t give them the $260 Million they are demanding?

According to this logic they did it in September…. because they didn’t get the funding they demanded.

Clearly there is a mountain of problems here that certain political leaders are desperate to cover up. Holding the lives of our foreign service employees hostage to funding appropriations in an effort to blame “Congress” is absurd.  At this point it would not surprise me to find out John Boehner received a ransom note for the $260 Million glued together from letters cut out of Mother Jones magazine… or the New York Times.

As strange as this always sounds to Progressives… if you can’t afford to conduct an operation, then you don’t conduct that operation.

(How about this… IF YOU CANNOT DEFEND THEM, DON’T SEND THEM.)

The Blame stops at the Secretary of State.
After watching this foolishness, I wonder how many of our Diplomats out in the field are still alive.

I demand Proof of Life!

The State Department should send us some fingers… just to be sure.

And… as I sit here and watch this, Hillary keeps laughing…
