Open thread for Sunday, February 17th: Everybody Knows…..
Here is the open thread for Sunday, February 17th: please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues may arise during the course of the day.
I am working on a Benghazi update which will be posted tonight and you don’t want to miss it; it will include the true motive behind the terrorist attack as well as the reason why the marines were not at the ‘consulate.’
I have been working quite a bit of extra hours this week and will be doing so next week as well. Between the extra hours, spending time with my family, and keeping up with America’s Watchtower I haven’t been able to visit my favorite blogs or comment on them as I would like so I would like to apologize for not being around as often as usual–things will be getting back to a more normal pace shortly, I think.
You can follow America’s Watchtower on Twitter or Facebook by clicking on the links to the right. Even if you do not use Twitter you can still keep up with my Tweets by using the Twitter feed on the right as well; all my latest Tweets are displayed there and I often Tweet articles which I probably won’t write about on the blog and I think you will find them interesting.
For this week’s musical selection I have chosen a song entitled ‘Everybody Knows’ by the man who is considered to be one of the greatest songwriters and lyricists of all time, Leonard Cohen.
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
America's Watchtower 
Good choice Steve. If only it were true that everybody knows. Less than one half of us knows, or faces what we all should know. Sadly, the campaigner in chief continues to build on his base of useful idiots. Let’s see: Blacks: 95-99%, Latinos: 70-75%, Women: 75%, Elites: 100%, Academics: 99.9%, Liberals of all persuasions: 99.999999% ( make that 100%- Ed Koch, the self appointment liberal with sanity is dead), Jews: 90%, Rich Jews: 100%, Uneducated: 100%, Uninformed: 100%. Grammar School Kids: 99.99999% ( there must be a 6 year old somewhere who can see through the emperor to be), Gays, Lesbians and Transexuals: 99.999999%, Illegals: 100%, Illegals not yet in the country: 100%, The Dead:100%, Self Hating White Guys: 100%. If only those pesky gun owners would turn in their arms construction could begin on the shovel ready gulags.

Hey, we have to stay positive, positive the jig is up (pun intended) and we are screwed.

I look forward to it. I am sure it is why we are not suppose to hear anything about the 30 or so folks yet to be identified.

The post will be up shortly. I only intended to write a broad outline this morning to cover what I wanted to write about tonight but I got carried away once I got started and it is almost complete.

I have been waiting for the open thread to work out an idea. We are constantly told we lost, so get over it. And we did in fact loose, big-time. And if there was any doubt, the state-of-the-union should have removed any doubt. I even got a liberal friend to admit how happy he was that those of us on the right were so unhappy.
So let’s see what the left did when we won and they lost. Let’s see how they “dealt with it”.
They rioted! They bombed! They burned! For as long as I can remember, that is how they dealt with it. Bill Ayers and his side kick Dorn made bombs, used them, got away with it, and then helped Obama get started in politics. When we won in 2010, the maggot infested “Occupy” movement took control across the nation and ruined everything they touched. And of course the leftist media kicked into overdrive. My liberal friend says I am wrong about media bias because they don’t lie. I try to point out they don’t need to lie, they only have to ignore the truth and repeat when others are telling lies.
So if you have any misconception that the left has ever gone away quietly, forget it. Just the opposite. They fight and fight and fight, and unlike us, they always have the media on their side. But that is the biggest difference between Left and Right. We want to be left alone, to be with family, or church or work. But as Rush said the week, the Left is in a constant state of revolution, always fighting, always protesting, always complaining.
When it comes to loosing, they are really wining.

Yes, when we won in 2010 the left didn’t get over it, they fought for what they believed in and Obama won reelection. But now we are supposed to give in and get over it simply because they won this time? I don’t think so, the double standard is blaring!

You know after reading this article, I am of the opinion that there is something in the water up in Chicago! What an absolute IDIOT this police chief is. Luckily I live in central Illinois and have a well to rely on. Hope Phillip doesn’t drink the water in that area, either.
It is THIS kind of idiocy being posted to a newspaper or on the internet that gets the Lo-info people thinking it might be a good idea. There were two sentences in the comments that I thought was very fitting: ” Gun control laws don’t control illegal guns. Gun control laws only control legal guns”.
I think that sums it up rather well. That we have people like this in authority is a BIG problem, doesn’t matter what city or state they are in. This man is appointed by the Mayor it says??? Isn’t Rahm thinking of running in the 2016 election and he appointed this police chief? Of course in 4 years we might not recognize our country so it just might not matter.

I saw this story Lou and it is quite telling to see what these people consider to be threats. First and foremost is the constitution and those who wish to practice their constitutional rights.
