There's been a lot of ballyhoo recently about Seattle passing an ordinance demanding that all employers within the city limits pay a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour. Basically, what this is, is the kick-off to the Sea Hag's 2016 presidential campaign, just as Occupy Wall Street was the kickoff to Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and was shut down and absorbed into the Democratic party bureaucracy when it was of no further use.
First off: it is true that trying to support a family or get yourself out of crushing student loan debt on minimum wage while flipping burgers in Mickey D's is a terrible situation to be in. If the Republican party does not begin acknowledging these people's agony and doing something to alleviate it that one way or the other involves putting cash in their pockets and not the pockets of bankers, come November and come 2016 these wretched, suffering people are going to fall hook, line, and sinker for the Democrats' line of BS and run like lemmings to pull the D lever in the little booth.
Republicans need to acknowledge how bitterly and tragically capitalism dropped the ball back in 2008. True, the actual depression came with Obama, but it began on George W. Bush's watch. True, the first crash was very largely the result of the sub-prime mortgage racket to offer blacks and browns "the pride of home ownership" and that began under the Clintons as one of their early attempts to bribe minorities for votes, but we need to do a hell of a better job explaining that to normal people who see only the wreckage. All we've got media-wise is Fox News and the internet and we'd better step up our game all around in that area.
Okay, getting back to the $15.00-per-hour law in Seattle, a few facts:
Mickey D's and KFC workers are not going to see a sudden magical rise in their paychecks. The law is incremental, and in any case will be impeded for some years by lawsuits filed by what remains of the Seattle business community in an attempt to save their livelihoods, as well as the fast food chains. So as far as producing any genuine amelioration of the living conditions of fast food workers, that's not happening any time soon.
If and when this law is upheld by the courts (a somewhat dubious proposition) then most small businesses will simply shut down and leave the city, and Seattle itself will become something of a ghost town. This isn't as bad as it sounds, because the law does not apply to Seattle suburbs such as Bellevue and Redmond and Kirkland, meaning that among other things Bill Gates' little private kingdom is not affected. God forbid Microsoft workers should have to pay $12.95 for their lunchtime Whoppers or $17.95 for a Happy Meal. Seattle Fourth Mealers who want something cheap and tasty by way of a dining experience instead of a yuppie fern bar or Little Miss Organic's Dinette will simply have to hop in their Priuses and roll across the 520 bridge to Bellevue
As always, in Amurrica perception is everything. The main purpose of this law is to make it look like the Democrats are doing something for the poor, downtrodden masses, whereas in fact the large corporations like McDonalds and Pizza Hut will skate or otherwise evade the requirement for $15.00 per hour and actual small businesses run by normal people will get it in the neck, since the Democrats don't want such small businesses to exist at all.

The Democrats are now dumping tens of thousands of illegal Third World aliens in Arizona. They are busing them in from other states, especially from Texas, and then simply releasing these people, some of them violent criminals, onto the streets.
These include a large number of children who have in turn been dumped here in the United States by their Mexican parents because they know that the Democrats want them here, see them as future Democrat voters, will not deport them, will call them DREAMers, and will eventually legalize them so they can serve as anchor babies and bring in millions more foreigners who can in turn be snuck onto the voter rolls, legally or illegally, in order to ensure perpetual power for the Democrats in a one-party state.
The Democrats apparently think deliberately filling Arizona with illegals from other states is funny. They are doing this to punish the "racist" normal White people of Arizona who became tired of their home state being transformed into a province of Mexico, and who attempted to enforce the immigration laws that the Obama dictatorship would not. There is no limit to what the Democrat one-party state will do to hurt Republicans and punish White people for voting Republican.
In November of this year--if Republican governors and state legislators can stand firm against Democrat vote fraud--we will have our second-to-last chance to elect a Congress that might actually be sufficiently responsive to normal people to do what normal people want done, i.e. at least attempt to remove Barack Hussein Obama from the Oval Office.
It may well be that if Obama remains unimpeached, and he is allowed to continue defying the law like this, the 2016 general election may actually be too late. There may have been too many illegal foreigners snuck into this country and snuck onto the voter rolls by the Democrats, as they did in California.
But since we won't use the legal and constitutional methods the Founding Fathers left us to deal with lawless presidents and dictatorships, let's give the polls of more shot in November, shall we?

Looks like the RINOs and the Rockefeller country club set are getting ready to betray normal people again. Okay, so what else is new?
But this immigration thing doesn't make any sense. The RINOs seem to have lost all touch with reality. Why the hell are they doing it? It is utter political suicide for the Republican party. By legalizing 30 million illegal foreigners and giving them the vote, Congress is in effect creating 30 million new Democrats.
Not to mention all the new Democrats who will flood in once these are legalized and they start bringing in their bambinos and mamacitas and uncles and cousins and third cousins twice removed, so forth and so on. The demographics of this country will be altered forever and if there are any normal people left at all in fifty years, they will be living in fortified compounds to try and keep the surging tides of mud-colored savages from breaking in and devouring the last resources, the last technology, and the last White people in North America. Then the ultimate darkness will fall.
What in God's name are these bird-brained RINO Republicans thinking of? WTF is going on in their minds? Have they been bribed? Could it be that simple? Given the level of clandestine buggery that goes on in the ranks of the Rockefeller Republican establishment politicians--Larry "Twinkle-toes" Craig was by no means unusual in RINO ranks--are they just being blackmailed? "Work with us on immigration or the White House will post the address of your catamite on Twitter?"
Do these spineless Congressmen not understand that if they do this, they can surrender any hope of ever seeing a Republican in the Oval Office again? That they are handing a one-party state to the liberal Democrats for the next three generations? And how in the name of Heaven is the remaining normal population to survive that? Do they even care about normal people? What kind of short-term gain could possibly be worth destroying the U.S.A. and turning it into Brazil?
And where will these imbecile RINO Congressmen in their $2000 suits be once all normal people are gone, there is no one left to vote them into office, and all of a sudden they are the ones being tossed onto the dust heap of history? Will whatever money they have been given to line their pockets with, or whatever benefit they receive from this, survive the end of the world as we know it?
Lindsey Graham is now threatening Barry with impeachment "if he does it again," i.e. if our Manchild President ignores the law and releases more prisoners from Guantanamo without informing and consulting Congress, like he is required to do by law. (Rueful giggles at the whole absurd idea that Barry is constrained by any law at all. Is he not king? Volus princeps lex est.)
Dream on, Lindsey. Not only is no one going to impeach the first black(ish) president, but even if you could get the weak-kneed RINO John Boehner to stop playing footsie with the Democrats on immigration long enough to compel the House Republicans to impeach The One, there wouldn't be any point in sending him for trial in front of a Democrat Senate. In a body the Senate Democrats would arise, drop trou, and moon the rest of the country by acquitting the nasty little dictator.
Impeachment now would be an empty and possibly counterproductive gesture that would pre-empt a later attempt after 2014 that might actually have some faint chance of success, should the Republicans regain the Senate in November, and should such Republicans miraculously re-discover a spine where that string of linguini used to be.
And again, Lindsey Graham's empty threats don't deal with the elephant in the room: suppose Barry doesn't want to leave the White House, either via impeachment and removal or in 2016 when his eight years is supposed to be up?
Suppose he calls a press conference one day and says "Screw the Constitution! I'm running for another term and there's nothing you can do about it!"
Well, nothing we will do about it, anyway.
The received wisdom is that Barack Hussein Obama is invulnerable, because nobody is going to impeach the first black(ish) president of the United States. So we can just forget about it, we're stuck with him for at least another two years, and all we can do is hope he decides to be a good boy and leave office at that time. After that it will be the Sea Hag, and oblivion for America in any form that normal people would recognize.
Or so the state-controlled media tell us.
Still, if Republicans can fight off Democratic vote fraud sufficiently to win the Senate in 2014, so there would be a chance of conviction, it would be nice if the old duffers would at least make a symbolic attempt to free America from the yoke of a Third World tyrant who rules by decree.
Nice, but no one expects it. They haven't got the balls. The average Congressional Republican spine is the consistency of linguini.
The elephant in the room, of course, is the problem that no one will speak of. Suppose Obama doesn't want to leave in 2016 and opts to run for a third term?
Why should he not? He has already violated the law and the Constitution repeatedly and nothing at all has been done about it. So really...why shouldn't Barry and Michelle My Belle just stick around if they want to?
Who's going to do anything about it? Not the United States Attorney General--you know, the one who stated at the beginning of his term that he would not investigate civil rights violations or hatecrimes against White people. (Hence the "knockout game.") Certainly no Republican in Congress is going to do jack shit about it if Obama decides to go for term number three. They're all too terrified of being called racist.
Hillary might have Obama whacked if he tries it--after all, it's supposed to be her long-deferred turn in 2016--but the irony is that our only hope to be saved from Obama is to rely on a woman who, during her own years of power, accustomed herself to the routine use of murder in politics, in order that she herself might tyrannize us even worse.
Way to go, Republicans!
Bit rushed today doing other horrible anti-Democrat things, so here's a cool graphic.
Without getting into the moral issue of releasing five Taliban commanders in exchange for one American deserter (the partisan fog that politicizes everything in this country having already begun to obscure such issues), the simple fact is that any release of prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay facility requires 30-day notice and approval from Congress. It is the law, and The One simply ignored the law, as he usually does.
That's not supposed to happen in this country. It is against the law for Barack Obama to do what he did, but once again we run up against the fact that normal people have no way of compelling the federal government of the United States or any of its agencies, from Barry himself on down, to obey their own laws.
Well, yes, we do in fact have a way of dealing with a lawless president, two ways actually, both handed down to us by the Founding Fathers. One is impeachment and trial, and the other is the Second Amendment. But we lack the political courage to use the former and the physical courage to use the latter, so basically we are now living in a Third World dictatorship where El Supremo does whatever the hell he wants and his ruling party's flunkies operate completely without accountability. The Founding Fathers never counted on the degeneration of the White American male into Homer Simpson and Beavis and Butthead.
So Barry's doing it again, and he's going to get away with it. Nothing is going to be done about our wee little Third World dictator except a lot of bloviating on the internet, while 93 million Americans will not go to work today and everyone accepts this as "the new normal."
The remaining normal population of this country will pay a heavy and terrible price in the coming years for allowing Barack Obama to rule by imperial decree and skate on any consequences at all. Bear in mind that if Obama chooses to leave office in 2016, we're looking at eight or more years of the Sea Hag, who will use the precedents set by Obama to liquidate her opposition Soviet-style.
You think there were a lot of bodies dropping during the first eight years of Clinton rule? Bill at least had a little discretion when it came to political murder. What will it be like when the Sea Hag gets in, crazed with rage and a lust for vengeance after being forced to conceal her true nature for almost 70 years? And with the precedent of allowing liberal Democrat presidents to violate the law at will already established during the eight catastrophic Obama years?
