Random Things We All Need To Know About, Understand or Considers

This is a collection of random items that the mainstream media routinely does not consider worthy of presentation to the public.  A few other items are included that our schools fail to teach.  Time may not permit a read of the entire piece.  Save and read those of interest at your leisure.  I promise you that this information is verifiable.  I do not promote frivolous, unconfirmed or unfounded items. 

This item sets the stage for those that follow.  Quote: "The philosophical foundation of the American Left and the Democratic Party is a proprietary hybrid of Fascism.  While in lockstep with the economic and political tenets of Fascism, the unique feature of the current American iteration is anti-nationalism as reflected in the belief that the United States is the locus of malevolence in the world as compared to militant nationalism of Italy and Germany in the 1920’s and 30’s."  And, "The concept of a corporate state has been a staple of the American Left since Franklin Roosevelt. It was FDR that initiated the National Labor Relations Board to make the Government the final arbiter in labor issues.  The National Recovery Act governed all aspects of manufacturing and commerce and the Agricultural Adjustment Act which introduced central planning to agriculture.  It is generally acknowledged today that this approach by Roosevelt prolonged the Great Depression by another five years.  (Jonah Goldberg’s masterpiece Liberal Fascism convincingly demonstrates the fascist roots of today’s liberalism.)"    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/08/obamism_and_neofascist_america.html

This piece offers a bit of history that should be informing actions today on the part of Western World leaders.  But, as was the case before the start of WWII that is not the case.  Head-in-the-sand posture prevalent then is in full force today.  Quote: "Not one of the lessons of the past has been learned, not one of them has been applied, and the situation is incomparably more dangerous," Churchill said in 1934. And every one of those words is more urgently true today, in a nuclear age." http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2015/03/17/two-warnings-n1971562/page/full

Today almost everyone refers to our country as a Democracy.  But we are not a democracy but, instead, a Federal Republic.  The two are quite different. In fact, the founders purposely avoided creating a democracy.  Read these quotes:  "Our Founders saw democracy as a variant of tyranny. At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said, "...that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy." John Adams said, "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." Alexander Hamilton said, "We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real Liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship."   http://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2015/03/25/whats-gone-wrong-with-democracy-n1974858/page/full

This extends this brief foray into the history of our nation and summarizes the fact that our government today looks nothing like the founders intended.  That is to our detriment.  http://unfilteredpatriot.com/hope-glimmers-as-americans-reject-big-government/

This is an example of reprehensible political gamesmanship that has no place in the conduct of a civil society.  Senator Durbin should be ashamed of his overt, hypocritical and false racist accusations given his own voting history.  http://eaglerising.com/16369/democrat-senator-implies-gop-racist-john-mccain-explodes-on-senate-floor/  

When the left within government and its willing supporters in the private sector embrace this type activity they are knowingly and purposefully inviting chaos/harm upon innocents.  This reprehensible behavior/practice is intended to promote their intent to impose their will over all those who disagree with their totalitarian intentions.  This is but one of many examples of their dirty political tactics.   http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/obama-using-race-riots-to-stir-up-political-base-author-charges/?  And this provides an example of the consequences of their ridiculous politically correct policies as well as their corrupting actions.  When did the police start helping perpetrators instead of victims?   Check out this story.   http://eaglerising.com/22364/christians-assaulted-outside-planned-parenthood-and-police-do-nothing/

For those who still think President Obama is on the up-and-up and honest with us regarding his whole illegal immigration scheme, check this out. Quote: "Yesterday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118 of the American Federation of Government Employees President Chris Crane testified that immigration reform isn't about reform at all, but instead is about politics." Death or serious injury to ICE officers and agents appears more acceptable to ICE, DHS, and Administration leadership, than the public complaints that would be lodged by special interest groups representing illegal aliens," Crane said.  Crane detailed the massive problems within the agency with enforcement, how illegal aliens lie to work the system, how illegal aliens will lie in order to be granted amnesty and explained how morale within the agency is at an all time low."  And, "Crane also explained the erosion of the rule of law thanks to special interest groups representing and advocating on behalf of illegal immigrants while agents are often punished for simply enforcing the law. Crane even went so far as to suggest law enforcement has been turned into a joke."  And one more ""For the last four years it has been a roller coaster for ICE officers with regard to who they can or cannot arrest, and which federal laws they will be permitted to enforce," Crane said. "Most Americans would be surprised to know that immigration agents are regularly prohibited from enforcing the two most fundamental sections of the Unites States immigration law. According to ICE policy, in most cases immigration agents can no longer arrest persons solely for entering the United States illegally. Additionally, in most cases immigration agents cannot arrest persons solely because they have entered the United State s with a visa and then overstayed that visa and failed to return to their country."  The subjects of abuse in this case are honest, law abiding, tax paying American citizens. Who do you think is responsible for this blatant disregard for existing federal law???  You know who!!!  His name is in the first sentence of this paragraph.  Yet the Democrats in Congress are protecting him by not allowing legislation to pass that would shut down his illegal activities.   Disgusting. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2013/02/06/ice-leader-agents-prohibited-from-enforcing-two-most-fundamental-sections-of-us-immigration-law-n1506288?   Add this information and you will have proof of the disaster Obama has been.   http://townhall.com/columnists/donaldlambro/2015/06/05/president-obamas-record-the-terrorists-are-winning-n2008288?

Leftist/progressive promoters of multiculturalism argue that it is a good thing to enhance national cultures and their values.  Some think otherwise.  This item focuses on our culture and the role played by academic institutions in the promotion of multiculturalism. Quote: "Nobody personifies the concept of biting the hand that feeds you more than multicultural elites on college and university campuses. They receive excellent salaries, benefits, and perquisites—better, in fact, than those earned by most of the hard-working Americans whose taxes finance these things. Yet multicultural elitists not only reject the values of those who pay their salaries, they do everything in their power to subvert their values. Professor Williams gives this example of the hypocrisy of multiculturalists in academia: “At the very heart of multiculturalism is an attack on Christianity. For example, Duke University sponsored Muslim calls to prayer in the name of promoting ‘religious pluralism,’ until external pressures forced it to cancel the practice. Earlier, Duke administrators removed Chick-fil-A as a campus vendor because of Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s comments regarding his religious opposition to homosexual marriage. So much for religious pluralism, tolerance, and free speech.” http://patriotupdate.com/articles/multiculturalism-seeks-the-destruction-of-christianity-and-american-values/   This mom makes cogent observations based on her life being raised by two  lesbians. http://www.westernjournalism.com/woman-raised-lesbian-parents-just-said-destroys-liberal-gay-parenting-narrative/?   This item discusses the unbalanced consequences of this movement.  http://totalconservative.com/gay-rights-sharia-the-intolerant-left/

This item adds wisdom to the one just above.   Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should adopt the attitude this item says we should.  Our world would be in a much better place if we did.   http://townhall.com/columnists/johnstossel/2015/04/08/a-right-to-discriminate-n1981955/page/full

The number of foreign allies scorned by the administration continues to climb.  One of the tragedies of Obama's legacy will be a more volatile world.   http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/another-scorned-u-s-ally-turns-to-russia/  

It is safe to say that the UN is not a friend of global peace, justice, human rights and liberty. That is not to say it does not do some good but a close examination of their record reveals a very poor record of success at huge cost.  Despite their self-serving words of the good they do this item provides an example of their well established bias favoring two-bit dictators, repressive and human rights violating Muslim nations and other loathsome nation states. The US pays 22% of its operating costs, contributes additional funds and resources for other causes and carries the largest load of UN peace keeping operations.  Meanwhile the loathsome UN member states are the ones committing the atrocities the UN is suppose to manage.  It is noteworthy that these very nations constitute a huge percentage of the UN's membership.  And, because of their majority status they were able to declare Israel to be the world's top women's rights violator. Give me a break!!!    http://patriotupdate.com/2015/03/top-violator-of-womens-rights-around-the-world-its-israel-says-un/   The UN, comprised of not one single elected official from anywhere in the world, was established to maintain global peace, human rights and freedom....how well do you think it is doing at huge cost to member states, mostly the US.  It is this very body that many, including some in our government and other elitists  (past and present), that the UN or some reconstituted body should become the world's governing body - this goal is inscribed in the UN's Agenda 21 initiative.  Don't believe me?  Check it out.  To find the real facts one has to dig deep to get past the sound good propaganda.   http://patriotsandpolitics.com/unlike-president-obama-the-muslim-world-pulls-no-punches-on-islamic-terrorism/
