A nation can survive its fools…but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly…[but] the traitor appears not a traitor…he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
I used to believe that constitutional conservatives are fighting an ideological battle against political opponents – but I’m not so sure anymore. It appears increasingly obvious to me that we are in fact engaged in a battle with power-hungry, ruthless, greedy, ill-informed opportunistic morons (sometimes bright morons, but morons nonetheless) – treasonous, self-righteous, scum-sucking bottom dwellers whose pretentions to moral authority make me want to puke.
They wrap their corruption up in fine sounding slogans and rationalizations but strip away the verbal razzmatazz and you are left with naked ugly ambition and greed. Nothing more, nothing less. Call it Marxism, call it communism, call it fascism, call it globalism, call it what you will – it all comes down to a power grab by a narcissistic elite bent on ruling We the People using whatever means it takes. And they have no interest at all in playing by the rules.
Hillary Clinton is guilty as sin, and we the people have been hep to the corruption and coverup for years. And who is this mysterious former POTUS who goes by the nom de plume Barack Hussein Obama? He could be anyone, he could be from anywhere. I am so sick of the abuse heaped on those of us who know we are being lied to and yet are constantly told to shut up and not be conspiratorial.
Well f—k them, and f—k their corrupt lying media sycophants. They disgust me…as they should anyone with decency, honor, and integrity. I have been studying the political left for some years now, and what I see is a collection of whiny losers – sociopathic professional victims who lie, cheat, and squirm their way into positions of power where they loudly proclaim their moral superiority for all to hear. Again, f—k them, I’m so tired of their odious, dishonest, self-righteous bloviating that I could scream. They lie constantly, and then lie about their lying, and then pout and act shocked when you call them on their c—p.
They celebrate and promote international thugs and asinine government policies with proven track records of ineptitude, failure, and murder. Where will the next “killing fields” be? Do these idiots not know how to read? Have they not glanced through “The Black Book of Communism” (published through Harvard University Press no less)? Such ignorance! And they pat each other on the back, give each other “prestigious awards,” and remain ignorant buffoons (dangerous buffoons) trapped within their hothouse echo-chamber of blather and bombast.
They actively seek to harm and diminish America at every turn. It’s a win/win situation for them, they can’t lose. If their hairbrained schemes somehow work they crow about their supposed genius, and if they fail, well then that hurts America, which is all to the good right? Think Cloward/Piven and its numerous diabolical offshoots.
I call bulls—t on all of it, and say it is well past time that we the people stopped treating these duplicitous, traitorous crooks with anything approaching respect, and started acting toward these professional parasites with the disdain and disgust that they so richly deserve. The corruption in DC is so deep-seated, so pervasive, and so accepted as the norm, that grand juries, trials, and prison time is what’s needed, not more hail-fellow-well-met collegial claptrap. America is still very much teetering on the brink, and this is no time for half measures. Time to turn up the heat on all burners.

The end which justifies Obama’s means…total and complete disarmament of the American citizens, and the elimination of the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights given to us by God, and written down by our founders.
coming for your guns. They really do think you are stupid. And if they get their way, all they have to do to disarm you is by having a bureaucrat put your name on a secret government list. Even while 
Matt Drudge tweeted to Jeh Johnson that he could go first with giving up his firearms and protection…ahem.

The Obama administration recently made changes to the Oath of Allegiance to the United States in a manner very conducive to Sharia, or Islamic law.
On July 21, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced some “modifications” to the Oath of Allegiance which immigrants must take before becoming naturalized.
The original oath required incoming citizens to declare that they will “bear arms on behalf of the United States” and “perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States” when required by the law.
Now the USCIS says that “A candidate [to U.S. citizenship] may be eligible to exclude these two clauses based on religious training and belief or a conscientious objection.”
The new changes further add that new candidates “May be eligible for [additional?] modifications based on religious training and belief, or conscientious objection arising from a deeply held moral or ethical code.”
These changes serve incoming Islamic supremacists especially well. For, while Islamic law allows Muslims to feign loyalty to non-Muslim “infidel” authorities, it bans Muslims from living up to the pretense by actually fighting or killing fellow Muslims on behalf of a non-Muslim entity, such as the United States.
The perfectly fitting story of Nidal Hassan—the U.S. army major and “observant Muslim who prayed daily” but then turned murderer—comes to mind and is illustrative.
A pious Muslim, Hasan seemed a “regular American,” even if he was leading a double life—American Army major and psychiatrist by day, financial supporter of jihadi groups and associate of terrorists by night. However, when time came for this American soldier to “bear arms on behalf of the United States”—to quote the original Oath of Allegiance—against fellow Muslims, things got ugly: he went on a shooting spree in Fort Hood, killing thirteen Americans, including one pregnant woman in 2009.
Much of Hasan’s behavior is grounded in the Islamic doctrine of Loyalty and Enmity. According to this essential teaching, Muslims must always be loyal to Islam and fellow Muslims while having enmity for all non-Islamic things and persons.
However, whenever Muslims find themselves under the authority of non-Islamic institutions and persons, they are permitted to feign loyalty—even to the point of cursing Islam and pretending to have abandoned it—with one caveat: Muslims must never take up arms on behalf of “infidels” against fellow Muslims. In other words, their loyalty to non-Muslims must be skin deep.
Many are the verses in the Koran that support this divisive doctrine (3:28, 4:89, 4:144, 9:23, and 58:22; the latter simply states that true Muslims do not befriend non-Muslims—“even if they be their fathers, sons, brothers, or kin”).
Most germane is Koran 3:28: “Let believers not take for friends and allies infidels rather than believers: and whoever does this shall have no relationship left with Allah—unless you but guard yourselves against them, taking precautions.”
The words translated here as “guard” and “precaution” are derived from the Arabic word taqu, from the trilateral root w-q-y—the same root that gives us the word taqiyya, the Islamic doctrine that permits Muslims to deceive non-Muslims whenever under their authority.
Ibn Kathir (d. 1373), author of one of the most authoritative commentaries on the Koran, explains taqiyya in the context of verse 3:28 as follows: “Whoever at any time or place fears … evil [from non-Muslims] may protect himself through outward show.” As proof of this, he quotes Muhammad’s close companion Abu Darda, who said, “Let us grin in the face of some people while our hearts curse them.”[1]
Muhammad ibn Jarir at-Tabari (d. 923), author of another standard commentary on the Koran, interprets verse 3:28 as follows:
If you [Muslims] are under their [non-Muslims’] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them with your tongue while harboring inner animosity for them … [know that] God has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels rather than other believers—except when infidels are above them [in authority]. Should that be the case, let them act friendly towards them while preserving their religion.[2]
And therein lies the limit of taqiyya: when the deceit, the charade begins to endanger the lives of fellow Muslims—whom, as we have seen, deserve first loyalty—it is forbidden. As al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri puts it in his treatise on Loyalty and Enmity, Muslims may pretend to be friendly and loyal to non-Muslims, so long as they do “not undertake any initiative to support them [non-Muslims], commit sin, or enable [them] through any deed or killing or fighting against Muslims” (The Al Qaeda Reader, p. 75).
Thus the idea that Nidal Hasan might be deployed to a Muslim country (Iraq or Afghanistan) was his “worst nightmare.” When he realized that he was about to be deployed, he became “very upset and angry.” The thought that he might injure or kill Muslims “weighed heavily on him.” He also counseled a fellow Muslim not to join the U.S. Army, since “Muslims shouldn’t kill Muslims.”
Hassan is not the only Muslim to expose his disloyalty when pushed into fighting fellow Muslims on behalf of the United States.
In 2010, Naser Abdo, another Muslim soldier who joined the U.S. Army, demanded to be discharged on the claim that he was a “conscientious objector whose devotion to Islam has suffered since he took an oath to defend the United States against all enemies.” The army agreed, but while processing him, officials found child pornography on his government-issued computer and recommended that he be court-martialed. Abdo went AWOL and later tried to carry out a terrorist attack on a restaurant with the use of weapons of mass destruction.
And in April 2005, another Muslim serving in the U.S. Army, Hasan Akbar, was convicted of murder for killing two American soldiers and wounding fourteen in a grenade attack in Kuwait: “He launched the attack because he was concerned U.S. troops would kill fellow Muslims in Iraq.”
In short, the first loyalty of any “American Muslim” who follows the Koran is to fellow Muslims, regardless of their nationality—and not to American “infidels,” even if they be their longtime neighbors whom they daily smiled to (see here for examples). Hence why American Muslim Tarik Shah, who was arrested for terrorist-related charges, once boasted: “I could be joking and smiling [with non-Muslims] and then cutting their throats in the next second”—reminiscent of the aforementioned quote by Muhammad’s companion.
Now, in direct compliance with Islamic law, the Obama administration has made it so that no Muslim living in America need ever worry about having to defend her—including against fellow Muslims or jihadis.
