Elections Have Consequences

Elections Have Consequences

Ah, Democrats—and the mainstream media. Is that being redundant? They want members of the Electoral College to ignore their responsibility to cast ballots according to the provisions of their respective states and instead vote for Hillary Clinton for President. Unprecedented. Quasi-illegal.

They would have you up in arms because the Russians interfered in our American presidential election. How did they do that? You see, none of the voting machines in any state are connected to the internet (as far as I know—if they are, I would suggest the Democrats would be more likely to sabotage our elections than the Russians). No, you see, what the Russians did (and we have it on very good authority—Obama’s CIA) was hack the Democrat National Committee’s email account and—what else? Hillary’s private server?—to release emails, none of which, at this writing, have been denied as to their authenticity.

All this could have been prevented by the performance of one simple expediency: Had Hillary released all those emails in a timely fashion, when they were requested by Congress and by the FBI, the attendant consequences would have been faced and possibly overcome by the time of the election. She had a choice, and she chose to ignore subpoenas requesting ALL emails her office had sent and received during her tenure as Secretary of State. In essence, until Wikileaks started releasing emails pilfered from the Democrat National Committee’s “secure” server, all previous emails concerning Hillary’s conduct of affairs as Secretary of State should have already been in the public domain—released, publicized and vetted—according to the law.  Ah, but there’s the rub. You see, what we deplorables have not come to understand is that the law was never meant to be applied to the Clintons. Tell me who else—besides perhaps Barack Obama—would have the audacity to establish his own private server, rather than utilizing supposedly secure government equipment, in defiance of the law and presidential orders?

Who else would have so little regard for security as to relay classified information through her cleaning lady, who I think it is safe to say does not have a Top Secret security clearance? Who else might tell the Supreme Court, “I know what your subpoena says, but these are all the emails you are going to get from me.”?

Let’s go back to a point made earlier in this piece; the fact that this is Barack Obama’s CIA that has ostensibly obtained sufficient evidence to conclude that it was the Russians who hacked into Hillary’s private server and that of the DNC. An unintended consequence of using the IRS, ICE, FBI, CIA and any other government agency as water-carriers for the administration—to silence objections and deny equal access—is that it tends to make Americans doubtful of anything—ANYTHING—the government might say through any of its agencies. There are times, I am sure, when President Obama desperately NEEDS the American people to believe him. Some information coming from his office might be true; might even be critical for the American people to know. However, like the little boy in the fairy tale who cried wolf one too many times, he has sacrificed all believability. In fact, if you still believe what the President puts out, I have a friend who would like to talk to you about some oceanfront property he has for sale in Oklahoma.

Although he appears to have forgotten it, Obama famously told the Republicans in 2008 or 2012; maybe both: “There are consequences to losing elections”. Those consequences exist for both parties, Mr. President.

Stephen Dinan, A Pundit in Reporters’ Clothing

by Mark A. Cohen

Stephen Dinan, appearing on Washington Journal, Sep. 16, 2013.

I once thought the Washington Times tilted right, but no more. If pundit Stephen Dinan is a good sample, The Times is now left-wing. I don’t begrudge anyone’s right to be a liberal. However, someone who professes to be a reporter (not pundits Chris Matthews or Sean Hannity) should remain politically detached. Mr. Dinan appeared on Washington Journal this past Monday, and, as Mr. Spock said, I could hardly believe my ears! Mr. Dinan is in no way objective. He spouted many of the left’s talking points while speaking with host Greta Brawner.

The left doesn’t want you to know about the Republican ideas on health care.

Here are Mr. Dinan’s Democratic talking points, as discussed on the Journal: 1. The Republicans have no health care plan of their own to replace Obamacare. This is palpably false. All Stephen Dinan had to do was perform a little research. Here are some URLs I found quite easily on Google. If I spent more time, I’m sure I could have presented dozens here, but these are only a sample:

1. Headlines on the GOP solution.

2. Four pages on the GOP solution.

3. Article detailing the GOP solution.

4. Paul Ryan proposes solution.

5. Roadmap for America.

So, for my liberal friends out there, please don’t say that Republicans have nothing to offer. Instead, why not be honest, and say that you don’t like any of them? I’d buy that. But don’t accept the lie fed to you by the media and say there are none.

2. Stephen Dinan stated Republican failures, but never those of Democrats. This is childish, doesn’t discuss the issue, and falls flat. 3. He called the Republicans, “crazy” (name-calling) for trying to pass a bill funding and another defunding Obamacare. Dumb, maybe, but not ‘crazy.’ 4. Mr. Dinan made a big deal over the government shutdown. My liberal friends would agree with him (this is, after all, a list of liberal talking points). And I’m not saying this to argue, I merely object to this guy’s bias while at the same time passing himself off as a non-partisan reporter.

5. Mr. Dinan kept saying that the economy is getting better. True, but as the president has repeated, not fast enough. 6. Republicans and Democrats strategize to blame each other for various decisions, he said. I hope not, but this is something many on the left love to stress. 7. Dinan points out that there are many “big tests” coming for Republican Speaker John Boehner. Okay, but never did Dinan say anything about the president being tested. 8. He questioned Boehner’s leadership and said we need to keep an eye on it during debt limit talks and upcoming immigration debates. He never mentioned the president’s leadership.

Boring! I agree with the reporter.

9. Mr. Dinan used the phrase “Republican stagnation” and called Republicans, 10. “tricky.” 11. A caller pointed out that Dinan mentioned how much spending we’re doing. In defense of President Obama, as many on the left do, the caller, solving nothing, told us about how much Presidents Bush and Reagan spent. While not nearly as much as the current president, Dinan agreed with the caller, in principle. I guess if Bush did it, then overboard, outlandish spending is defendable for Obama. Remember the kid on the playground, “He did it first. So there.” 12. Stephen Dinan used the left’s argument on spending which goes like this: “It’s gotten worse in the last 10-12 years. Perhaps, but it’s gotten much worse in the last 5.

Give up the silliness. There are Republican solutions.

13. Dinan defended recent government cutbacks on spending without praising Republicans, who have been for this for years. Typical of some on the left. 14. He knocked Speaker Boehner’s statement that the American people are ready for a serious conversation on spending. Dinan said that the people want their Social Security, Health Care, education and FBI spending instead. But, friends, the Republicans don’t want to cut those areas. Don’t be misled by such pundits hiding in reporters’ clothing!

A biased media reduces freedoms.

15. Dinan mentioned at least twice that the Republicans would “hold the government hostage.” Regardless of whether you believe this or not, it is a talking point of the left. 16. He said that Republicans have made their questioning in Congressional hearings regarding Benghazi, more political by trying to tie it back to the White House. I disagree, of course, but a defender of the president would/should agree with Mr. Dinan. 17. He actually said that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a great point by saying that only 5% of Americans agree that entire government spending should be held hostage. That may be true, but the Republicans want to fund the entire government while holding back funding for Obamacare. Schumer also asked, “How far Republicans will go without being blamed?” I’m sure most liberals agree, but a reporter shouldn’t argue for any side.

Always watch for bias in the news, and point it out. When we have a one-sided, opinionated media, and we nearly do, freedoms easily dissolve and the country is doomed.

Kudos To NBC?

Kudos to NBC (MSNBC) for yesterday’s airing of the September 11, 2001 attack as it played out that day, instead of their normal morning programming.

While I don’t normally turn to their network as I enjoy my morning coffee, I found myself glued for hours as I recalled a day I’ll never forget…a day nobody should ever forget!

I saw the news re: New York as I left for work that day, and was in DC when the Pentagon was attacked.

My wife actually witnessed the plane fly into the Pentagon as she was driving to work…close enough to feel the heat from the blast through closed windows. She is still affected by that sight today!

I remember her hysterical phone call(s), and me not able to get to her. All I could do was tell her to drive home, but NOT THROUGH THE CITY as she would normally have done.

I remember what would normally have been a 40 minute drive home turn into 6 hours as I and everyone else fled the city.

And, I remember my return to the city and seeing armed National Guard troops throughout. It was then that I realized our way of life had changed…the world had changed.

With that said, there was a time NBC could report the news without bias, and their coverage that day was impeccable...
