Ohio Has Leadership

We moved to Ohio from California in 2008.  Actually, we fled California and made our home in Ohio.

Ohio has its challenges, and while we are impressed with leaders here and their enthusiasm at fixing problems, the state has a long way to go.

We don't usually comment on local politics, but Gov. Kasich's review of all the changes he's made and is making is worth the few minutes. He isn't one of the politicians who uses Crisis as a Means.

From WSJ Video:


Ohio is lucky to have this man, and his team, working on our best interests.

Do you think you'll ever see an interview like this with President Obama?

Mort Sahl

We've recently discovered Mort Sahl, a wonderful political comedian.  We can't find his discussion of the Khrushchev visit to the US on YouTube, but it is available at iTunes.

Here is a 30-second taste of the genius wit:



Would you believe he is (or was) a democrat and wrote some of the jokes President Kennedy used in his speeches?

Yes, what you see and hear in the above video is a Democrat's view of Capitalism back in the 60's. 

So much hope and change has occurred since then.  It isn't Mort Sahl's Democrat Party anymore.

Mr. Sahl is 85 and still with us.  Here is his website and Wikipedia page.

Name Calling

We've put a finger in the air (no, not that one) to gauge the reaction of our dear leader's recent inauguration.  While we noticed his second inauguration speech was a bit more 'collective', we encourage you to wait until his third inauguration speech for true enlightenment.

So what areas of consensus are floating out there in cyberblogworld?  Apparently, Obama is a Communist.  Seriously.  Let me show you:

 ZeroHedge: The Socialism of Europe Has Arrived At Our Shores...

America has turned the corner from the self-sufficiency of an individual to a new ideology for this country which is that incomes and life-styles should be equalized by taxes in the name of patriotism and for the greater good.

One of the first signs of communism is censorship. The media is controlled by the left, government. This is proof. How can we fight back?

Maser Media: What's Red All Over?

It is time to officially put an end to the mincing, hesitant criticisms of the American Liberals and the Democrat Party. Actually, it’s long past time. The Democrat Party’s goal is communism.

NiceDeb:  Obama's Not a "Liberal" - He's a Communist

Let’s get the terminology right. The fact of the matter is, the entire Democrat party today is Communist/ Marxist/Socialist/Collectivist/Statist. There are no more conservative or moderate Democrats. They all support the big government collectivist agenda – and they’re all willing to lie, cheat and steal in order to maintain it.

New Zeal:  The Communist Takeover Of America – 45 Declared Goals

In the wake of President Obama’s liberal Progressive second Inaugural speech, it is time for another look at greater underlying agendas and perhaps a time to remember that Progressivism = Socialism = Fascism = Marxism = Communism.

Two of the authors above own our Commie Obama hat.  Do you?

Ok - time to put that other finger back into the air.

Quote of the Day

From the Utah Sheriff's Association:

We respect the Office of the President of the United States of America. But, make no mistake, as the duly-elected sheriffs of our respective counties, we will enforce the rights guaranteed to our citizens by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights — in particular Amendment II — has given them. We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation.

He Prefers the Sickle

When Liberals Progressives Communists scoff at our references to our dear leader as a communist-inspired president, they have history on their side.  Sort of.

You see, Obama is no communist if you're talking Lenin, Trotsky, Mao, Stalin, Che or Castro.  And he is definitely not a Pol Pot.  The killing isn't happening here in the US.  Some might qualify that last sentence with "yet," but we digress.

Back to the comparisons.  Lenin favored the worker.  It was a "workers revolution" in 1917 Russia, not the peasant revolution that Marx predicted.  The peasant was expected to deliver the same crops as he did under the Tsars, but for free.  "For the greater good," so to speak.  This didn't happen as planned, but the propaganda always included the peasant in the revolution, hence the Sickle is part of the communist symbol.

You could say the peasant was included in Lenin's revolution in the same spirit "Unity" was mentioned in today's inauguration speech.

We would argue that Obama has favored the farmer so far.  Not that he's done anything to help the farmers, especially the small, family owned farms.  And he hasn't acted on his dream of 'fixing' the nation's food distribution process.  Yet.  But since he has put so many workers out of work, the farms compare quite nicely.

So after one term in office, we'd would have to argue that he likes the Sickle over the Hammer.  But don't ask him.  Like any parent of two or more children, he'll say he loves all equally, as he should.  Because that is fair.

Finding Our Voice

We've learned one disappointing fact since starting Ushanka 6 years ago.  Our side is not in constant battle, and is defensive in nature.

So when it is time for us to go on the offense, it takes time.   Conservatives are busy with families and jobs and church and signing checks on the front, which gives Liberals Progressives Communists the advantage in the world of political battles.

But whenever Conservatives are given the chance, their side always wins.  Reagan knew this.  We know this.

The Sandy Hook shooting was over a month ago.  The Liberal Progressive Communist gun-grabbers attempted to exploit that event to take our guns.  While the push back was solid from our side, the best counter-propaganda is just now coming out.  Here are some we saw this morning on FB:
