A nation divided cannot stand, and by just about any measure, our country is faltering. Obama and his evil minions have used hatred, class warfare, accusations of racism, outright lies, coercion, socialism, racial, gender, and blaming everyone and anyone for all the scandals, criminal behavior, and emperor-like mindset. Our country has suffered beyond belief these last 5 1/2 years, and we still have to put up with it for 2 1/2 more years. GOD help us all.
POLL: 67% of voters say America more divided than four years ago…
Voters See A More Divided Nation; GOPers More Enthusiastic to Vote
in Politics
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Voters strongly believe the United States is a more divided nation these days, and they think both sides are to blame. Most are also ready to do something about it at the ballot box in November.
Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Likely U.S. Voters say America is a more divided nation than it was four years ago. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just seven percent (7%) think the country is less divided now, while 21% rate the level of division as about the same.
Among voters who see more division or about the same level of it, 35% believe President Obama is to blame. But 34% point the finger at Republicans in Congress instead. Twenty-three percent (23%) say they’re both to blame. Just five percent (5%) attribute the division to something else.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of all voters say they are more likely to vote this year than they have been in past elections. Only four percent (4%) say they are less likely to do so, while 38% rate their intention to vote as about the same as in past years.
Perhaps problematic for Democrats is that 65% of GOP voters and 55% of voters not affiliated with either major party are more likely to vote this year, compared to 53% of those in the president’s party. But that could change as the election gets nearer.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters nationwide are at least somewhat confident that the candidates they vote for will steer the country in the right direction, but that includes just 19% who are Very Confident. Thirty-three percent (33%) lack that confidence, with seven percent (7%) who are Not At All Confident that their candidates will make a difference.
The American public is going to do something about it at the ballot box….hell I almost spewed my tea on the computer . With 97% or better re-election rate for the incumbent don’t tell me that it’s gonna’ happen. When 50% or better are kicked out during one of the election cycles then I’ll believe that things are going to change .
“The great Satan (Obama), is the great divider, turning man agaist man, nation against nation, brother against brother, until he is defeated, only by the grace of God”

Where the fuck do the other 33% live??
Cute picture, but Obama didn’t do anything Bush didn’t do before him, or any other POTUS starting with Reagan. Sorry, you don’t get to blame it on one administration.
Now, if you had said, thanks Fed, I would wholeheartedly agree, and cast the first stone.
Stuck – in Washington DC, and in Democrat controlled state capitols everywhere.
At a guess.
Congress Brings Socialism To America With This Proposed Law
Submitted by Simon Black of Sovereign Man blog,
Sadly today I am reporting to you yet another development that seems as if we are all living within the pages of Ayn Rand’s seminal work Atlas Shrugged.
You may recall from the book that John Galt, the enigmatic protagonist, started off as a young engineer at the Twentieth Century Motor Company.
When the owner of the company died, the heirs decided to run the business according to the new enlightened principles of the time.
Primarily, they let all the workers vote on how the factory was supposed to be run and how much everyone should be compensated.
And it was soon decided that “everybody in the factory would work according to his ability, but would be paid according to his needs.”
Naturally, bright hard-working employees soon left; they found themselves working around the clock for the benefit of others who felt entitled to contribute as little as possible.
John Galt was among the first out the door.
And not long after, the once successful company went bust. No surprise.
Unfortunately this is no longer fiction. Because in the Land of the Free, the United States Congress is striving to make Atlas Shrugged a reality.
Their latest brainchild is to set up a new government bank, stuff it full of taxpayer funds, and loan the money to American workers for the exclusive purpose to help them form collectives and buy the companies they work for.
It’s called the United States Employee Ownership Bank Act.
And, straight from the bill, they aim to provide “loan guarantees, direct loans, and technical assistance to employees to buy their own companies. . .”
The goal of this legislation, curiously, is to “preserve and increase employment in the United States” which is still problematic six years after the global financial crisis.
Since September 2008, the US government has increased its debt level over 50% to $17.6 trillion.
The US Federal Reserve has increased its balance sheet four-fold, conjuring $3.5 trillion out of thin air.
All of this was supposed to create jobs. And with each of these being a failed policy, Congress is now descending into outright socialism.
To be fair, people throw around the word socialism a lot. They’ll say “Obama’s a socialist” or something like that. Often it’s taken to exaggeration.
But this legislation– the government effectively sponsoring the communal takeover of private business– is textbook socialism: private property and the means of production owned by the community.
Socialist Yugoslavia actually tried the exact same thing: worker-owned cooperatives. And the consequent failure was absolutely epic.
But politicians never let pesky things like truth get in the way of a bad idea.
It’s time to wake up smell the reality. This isn’t about panic. It isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s about facts, not fear.
Any rational, thinking person has to look at this and ask a simple question: where is this trend headed?
The evidence is pretty clear. And more and more people are starting to realize it.
People all over the world are thinking: “This is not the country I grew up in. And I don’t like the trend.”
It’s unfolding right in front of our very eyes for anyone with the intellectual courage to pay attention.
Whether it happens today, tomorrow, or five years from now is irrelevant. It’s the TREND that is so important to pay attention to.
And with that simple premise in mind, does it make sense to hold everything you’ve worked your entire life to build in a place with such a negative trend?
Your livelihood. Your savings. Your retirement. Your family’s security.
Rational people look at facts objectively and have a plan B. What’s yours?

LLPOH beat this dead horse to a pulp: American labor cannot compete with cheap labor abroad, which is why the factories left. In order to bring them back, America has to compete on their terms. Since they are never going to adopt our form of Capitalism, we must adopt their form of Communism. The young will already know the principles of communal life and the evils of competition. The older generations that remember fighting to preserve Democracy will die off, Barackian history will prevail and America the Free will die, not with a bang but a whimper.
That’s not what I’ve said, Mr Chen/Coyote. I truly believe American manufacturing is going to come back, just like I believe one day the Great Spirit will gift my people with thundering buffalo herds roaming across the open plains, and….and, ah screw it. Aye ya ya ya ya, aye ya ya ya ya, Hey ya ya ya, hey ya Aye ya Hey na ya ya
OMG, is that a grass dance? Shouldn’t you be chanting a ghost dance?
This is weird, but I’m actually I’m this video. See the guy wearing lime green and dancing like the beastie boys on meth? That’s me. I was totally wasted on bud light. That was the greatest pow wow ever.
the real llpoh would not know who beastie boys were
Who is this Coyote of which you speak?
If these guys were high at all, it would be on peyote, datura or mescaline, not Bud Light.
Don’t tell me you’ve never heard this one.
Q. What is the most rare Indian artifact?
A. A half empty can of bud lite.
Don’t know why, but we Indians love to drink it by the caseload.
