The Koch Brothers vs. George Soros

To listen to the Democrats and the “Lame Stream Media”, headed up by NBC and the N.Y. Times, you’d think that the Koch Bros. were the worst people in the world, besides being un-American. How come they have been singled out for such scathing criticism by the loony left? Would being Republican have anything to do with it?

On the other hand, little is mentioned about liberal (a/k/a Democrat, Socialist or Progressive) benefactor, George Soros (also once known as Georgyi Schwartz), who has spent many millions of dollars backing Democratic policies, candidates, and many of Obama’s failed initiatives, including the (Un)Affordable Care Act. He has spent as much or more in his quest to “Socialize” our society as the Koch Bros. have in promoting free enterprise Capitalism. The Koch Bros. are demonized by the militant left, whereby George Soros has been canonized for his largesse to liberal causes and liberal candidates.

Let’s look at some of the reasons for this double- standard on the part of the left regarding the vilification of the Koch Bros.

The Koch Bros. came into prominence during the 2010 off-year elections (when the Tea Party sprouted up) when the Republicans won the House of Representatives by capturing 63 seats from the Democrats. The Koch Bros. gave liberally (no pun intended) to many of the winning Republican candidates, thereby raising the hackles of the opposition, the Democrats. Ever since, the Koch Bros. have been in the cross hairs of the leaders of the Democrats, led by that reckless bomb-thrower, Sen. Harry Reid (Senate Majority Leader), Sen. Chuck Schumer, and the annoying Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, to name just a few. Instead of praising them for exercising their 1st Amendment right of free speech, the left has vilified them as being “evil” and un-American, and a scourge upon the earth. A little over the top rhetoric, don’t you think?

As listed on our blog a while back, The Koch Bros. own the 2nd largest privately owned company in the U.S. - Koch Industries. The Co. employs over 67,000 workers who earn their living by working for those “evil” entrepreneurs. The Koch Bros. (who are billionaires) have donated many, many millions of dollars to philanthropic causes including many colleges, including that beacon of liberal thought, Columbia Univ., museums, hospitals and charitable groups like the Salvation Army. Also, they have contributed millions of dollars to political causes, mainly to the benefit of Republicans, but also to some Democrats, including his biggest critics, Reid and Schumer, how ironic is that? Maybe the reason for the disdain, is that the Koch Bros. have been too successful in backing candidates that win elections, which the Democrats see as a major threat?

On the other hand, George Soros, a confessed Nazi collaborator in his native Hungary during WW11, has been donating millions of dollars to leftist groups and candidates, mostly all Democrats, and there is not a peep out of the media and the Democrats, about his past sordid life. Soros, an admitted atheist and Socialist, has done exactly like what the Koch Bros. have done, but only to the Democrats and left-wing groups and organizations.

In fact, George Soros, spent $26 million of his own money trying to defeat George W. Bush in 2004. He didn’t succeed.

So, I guess the old saying, “who’s ox is being gored” comes into reality when it comes to the Koch Bros. As long as they are successful in backing winning Conservative candidates, and the Democrats are in need of a diversionary scapegoat from their failed policies, they will be pictured as being the symbol of “evil” incarnate, and so the world turns.

You could say, after reading this, that the Democrats have double-standards, but, then you could say, if the Democrats didn’t have double-standards, they wouldn’t have any standards all.

MORT's meanderings

Pay attention, America!

You are about to learn first-hand, the truth about how Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handled the Muslim terrorist's attack on Benghazi  and just how much this President and his Administration really care about those who courageously serve our nation in some of the world's most dangerous foreign diplomatic posts.

For those who are not close followers of the political maneuverings and the shenanigans that go on in Washington, D.C., particularly in the halls of Congress -

For those who are too busy with their own lives and have little interest in what goes on at the seat of our Federal Government in the Capital City -

For those who are not in the habit of reading newspapers or periodicals and get all their news from CNN, CNBC, ABC and CBS on their flat screenTVs   and -

For those who simply can't be bothered with knowing the facts about where our nation is headed or just how close we have become to losing our freedoms and our traditional American way of life - -

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) of The U.S. House of Representatives will chair a Select Committee (comprised of both Democrats and Republicans) to Investigate the Benghazi Terror attack on 9/11/2012.  Check your  local listing on your favorite stations listed above for selective coverage - or FOX News and C-Span for full coverage.  

If you really want to know how seriously your elected Representatives take your national security and how interested they are in getting to the full truth about the Benghazi horror that included four murdered Americans - and precisely how politically  partisan your Reps can behave - make it your business to follow the progress of this  investigation.   This will be your best chance to learn what's going on.    

Your hair will catch fire.  Guaranteed.

It’s All About Winning

Maybe we should take a page (we Republicans) out of the Democrat’s playbook and support candidates that can win elections, not just a candidate who can win a debate at the local Republican club.

Unfortunately for Republicans, they sometimes get hung up on political “purity”, instead of picking the best candidate that can win. Look what happened in 2012 in the presidential primaries and in the general election. The country was in really bad shape due to the policies of Obama, and it should have been a victory for the “good guys”, but we lost. Many Conservatives didn’t go out and vote because our candidate, Mitt Romney, wasn’t “pure” enough by their standards. By their obstinacy, look what we got, four more years of that walking and talking disaster called, Barack Hussein Obama. It seems Romney, according to the “purists”, wasn’t “conservative enough”. That goes against the strategy put forth by Ronald Reagan who offered the “80% solution”, whereby a Republican should support a candidate if he/she is “right” on 80% of the issues as compared to his opponent who was way down on the percentage list. In other words, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.

We are never going to find a person (candidate) who we will agree with 100% of the time, so it behooves us to get behind the candidate who agrees with most of our views, and most importantly, who can win an election. That’s the key, who can win an election.

In the past, we had the opportunity to gain Senate seats in Nevada, Delaware, Missouri, and Indiana, but we nominated flawed candidates, who made some outrageous statements, who were then vilified by their opponents and, in addition, those statements were used against other Republican candidates in other states. We lost those seats and a couple of others, as a result. We can’t or should not let that ever happen again.

Yes, challenge others in your party, without making it a political bloodbath, like what happened in 2012,, but if you lose, don’t skulk and whine, swallow your pride and get behind your/their victorious opponent so that he/she might carry the banner of the party into office. To do otherwise, it would be like shooting yourself in the foot, and as I said before, remember 2012.

So, in conclusion, get behind a candidate, who might not be “pure” but is at least part of the 80% solution, so that we can win the next election(s) and avoid the disaster that our country faces now, the person that resides in the White House.

Sharia is unAmerican

The road to ARMAGEDDON is Sharia! An abominable
sickness, incubated in the womb of radical Islam, scourging
the world with an insipid disease under the guise of religion.

It is a power grab by unscrupulous tyrants under an umbrella
of titles like imam and Ayatollah, to hide their intent to
control the life and mind of their people.

Their quasi fundamentalism reduces Allah to pagan status,
demanding human sacrifice. An ancient and primitive ritual
no longer practiced by civilized societies.

Promising a bevy of virgins in the after life by becoming a
martyr, is designed to enlist ignorant chauvinist males into
the fold. It delegates the role of women to be in servitude
to their husbands for their urges and needs. Their daughters
are used like goats to be bartered to dirty old men from
birth, and refusal to comply is susceptible to honor killing.
For their hapless sons, they are brainwashed to honor their
father and Allah by becoming human bombs.

There is a ray of progress....instead of stoning, a Sudanese
woman, eight months pregnant, is considered to be Islamic
because of her father, although her mother was Orthodox
Christian, was ordered to be lashed, accused of adultery for
marrying outside her religion, and sentenced to hang after
her baby is born, for not renouncing her Christianity.

Sharia is the mortal control of human destiny, not of a
Divine Spirit. How much longer is the Muslim world going to
keep turning a blind eye to the hijacking of their religion?
When is our government going to wise up and outlaw Sharia
and quit being politically correct to protect entities bent
on destroying our Judeo-Christian principles?

President Pinocchio

A few weeks ago, I wrote an editorial called, “President Santa Claus” in reference to the policies put forth by President Barack Hussein Obama. In it, I tried to explain how Obama trolled for votes by offering and giving out “freebies” to the “low information” voters. It seems like he succeeded, but, in reality, the country lost.

Upon reflection, I could’ve used another sobriquet to describe Obama, how’s this, “President Pinocchio”? He is not only our leader, but he is our “misleader”. We all know politicians lie and lie again and again - some are just fibs, but in in Obama’s case, they are “whoppers”. You’ve got to hand it to him, he will look you in the eye and blatantly tell you a lie without blinking an eye. I guess if you are a narcissist, like Obama, you are incapable of telling a lie even when you are telling one.

Remember, during the 2008 campaign, in a forum sponsored by the Rev. Rick Warren, he openly and emphatically said that marriage was between a man and a woman, and he felt that way as a Christian. Well, I guess he was telling a lie then, as he eventually changed his “belief system” into now believing in same-sex marriage. Was his flip-flop on this subject done for political purposes - is Harry Reid a “four flusher” (definition of “four flusher”: one who so full of crap that it would take four flushes during the movement to clear the bowl). The answer is, of course it was for political purposes!

Other blatant attempts by Obama to tell out-and-out lies are his pronouncements about his future “legacy”, Obamacare (a/k/a the (Un)Affordable Care Act). He said, time after time, to the American people, that they could keep their health care plan, period. He said they could keep their doctor, period. He said a family of four would save $2,500 by buying a policy under Obamacare, they didn’t - all lies, and according to the Washington Post, he got “4 Pinocchio’s” for his blatant disregard for the truth.

Not only does he lie to the American people, he lies to the world. He said that if the Syrian government used chemical weapons (he drew a “red line”) there would be dire consequences - there were none after chemical weapons were used. He lied again. He said Iran will not get nuclear weapons as long as he was president - well, Iran is well along and in just a short amount of time, they will announce that they have the bomb. Another lie. It now looks like Israel will have to do it alone, to take the nukes out of Iran, because we are now considered a “paper tiger”.

The list of lies goes on and on, but the main stream media seems to still be in Obama’s pocket as they obviously omit reporting on his out-and-out lies in their reporting of events both here and abroad. What a disgrace from the 4th Estate, who is supposed to monitor the goings on in government, and to inform the people of misdeeds and outright lying by the people in power. It looks like they have abdicated their oversight duty for partisan political purposes. Well, if they won’t tell the story, I will, our President should be called by his rightful name, President Pinocchio. Now you can call me a racist.
