The Quintessential Obamabot?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Gweneth Paltrow, a big Obama supporter and fundraiser, thinks that bad words hurt water's feelings. Perhaps she thought this was how Obama was going to stop the rising seas when she voted for him.

Here's her explanation of the "science":
“I am fascinated by the growing science behind the energy of consciousness and its effects on matter,� she wrote on her website GOOP. “I have long had Dr Emoto's coffee table book on how negativity changes the structure of water, how the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it.�

Her scientists friend Dr. Habib Sadeghi described an experiment where “Emoto poured pure water into vials labelled with negative phrases like 'I hate you' or 'Fear'. After 24 hours, the water was frozen, and no longer crystallised under the microscope: It yielded grey, misshapen clumps instead of beautiful lace-like crystals.�

In contrast, he wrote water labeled “'I love you' or 'Peace'� produced “gleaming, perfectly hexagonal crystals.�

I suppose this isn't any worse science than the guy who counted 3 dead polar bears after a big storm and projected that as a loss onto all polar bear populations due to global warming, got his boss and wife to peer review his findings, and got the US to declare the species endangered on the basis of his "science".

There is some serious horse crap in that coffee table book that's for certain......

You ought to be in the presidents shoes. I doubt you'd do any better..

I'm done on this forum filled with political hate.

Correction.... "ideological hate" would be more accurate smile

As for doing better.... I firmly believe if we put a monkey on a plane to the desert, parachuted him out, let him wander around until he found someone's hand to hold and made that person president we would be no worse off than we are now and likely better off.

Our Own Stinger Missiles Used Against Us

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Dave Snope said:

More abject incompetence from the Obama admin endangers U.S. lives. What genius thought Qatar could be trusted to back the right terrorists and not the wrong terrorists? How long will it be before one is used against a civilian airliner? When it comes to islamic terrorists, what difference does it make?

My sources in the US Special Operations community believe the Stinger fired against the Chinook was part of the same lot the CIA turned over to the ­Qataris in early 2011, weapons Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department intended for anti-Khadafy forces in Libya.

They believe the Qataris delivered between 50 and 60 of those same Stingers to the Taliban in early 2012, and an additional 200 SA-24 Igla-S surface-to-air missiles.
Qatar now is expected to hold five Taliban commanders released from Guantanamo for a year before allowing them to go to Afghanistan.

But if we can’t trust the Qataris not to give our weapons to the Taliban, how can we trust them with this?


http://nypost.com/2014/06/08/how-the-taliban-got-their-hands-on-modern-us-missiles/

Not to mention we just turned over 5 of the worst terrorists on the planet to Qatar for them to "keep an eye on".....There is still much more to this than meets the eye and it looks worse and worse each day that passes.....

IRS Loses 2 Years Of Lois Lerner's Emails

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Dave Snope said:

Unbelievable. Fire them all.

Washington, DC – Today, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) issued the following statement regarding the Internal Revenue Service informing the Committee that they have lost Lois Lerner emails from a period of January 2009 – April 2011. Due to a supposed computer crash, the agency only has Lerner emails to and from other IRS employees during this time frame. The IRS claims it cannot produce emails written only to or from Lerner and outside agencies or groups, such as the White House, Treasury, Department of Justice, FEC, or Democrat offices.

“The fact that I am just learning about this, over a year into the investigation, is completely unacceptable and now calls into question the credibility of the IRS’s response to Congressional inquiries. There needs to be an immediate investigation and forensic audit by Department of Justice as well as the Inspector General.

Simple..... Just ask the NSA for them and I am not saying that just entirely to be humorous LOL

Lets see, they have been working on gathering them for a year with 250 people and spent 10 million dollars in the doing of it just to say "we lost them".....My contempt for this administration has reached a new high. Their contempt for the public they serve has reached a corresponding new high.

Something I posted on my FB page earlier tonight in response to the "lost emails" in the news......

Going to climb up on my soapbox for a moment my friends.

Are you KIDDING ME????? Now, how many months, years into the investigation of the IRS scandal the response is suddenly "We had a computer glitch and lost 2 years worth of Lois Lerner's emails" SERIOUSLY??? No backups?? Didn't know this months and months ago??? They have been asked by Congress to produce them for months and months. They had 250 people working on it to the tune of 10 million dollars or so they say and come back with "we lost them???

Well, here is the answer to this one.......ask the NSA, they have them. The sheer contempt of this administration for the public they supposedly serve is beyond incomprehensible, it is astounding. It is criminal. Every scandal since this President took office is met with the same tired ass line. "We are as surprised as you are, we heard it on the news, we will get to the bottom of this, heads will roll" Sadly they never do. At most, one head might roll such as in the VA scandal and only then because they had NO choice. Nothing happens to address the systemic nature of the issue.

They have known about the issues with the VA for YEARS and done nothing. They don't care! The disgust I feel when I consider the position this country finds itself in is reaching epic proportions. Anyone who would defend Obama and his administration is beyond worthless. When I hear that 54% of this country favors Billery for the next President I have to ask myself "We are talking about a woman who was neck deep in most of this crap as the Sec of State, seriously?"

Believe me when I say I am holding back A LOT, were I to say what I really think the computers at the NSA would be smoking and my house would be surrounded in a matter of hours and I would be on trial for sedition at minimum. My father is spinning in his grave right now. Where is the outrage? Where is the American spirit?

CBS news was wide open telling about the capture of the Benghazi terrorist, with Obama making his statement about he did what he said he would do, capture the man. He was bragging about no matter how long it takes, we will catch the one responsible. But he did not finish the sentence, saying that in a little while, I will let you go again.

I understand he'll be tried in a US court and sentence will be up to a judge. No way Obama's going to let this one go. Finally some good news associated with Benghazi.

Let's hope that they get the other scumbags responsible for the deaths of the ambassador and the other three US diplomats.

Just one really does nothing but piss me off, if they can come up with say an even dozen now that would be worth something. Of course what they get sentenced for and for how long would be the next issue.
