Muslims vs the World

I ran across this you tube video of Russians vs Muslims. It is extremely disturbing. It is NOT intended for children. I do not recommend watching it if you do not have a strong stomach. The problem is that it is symptomatic of something that appears to be happening all over the world. Many Muslims, who claim there's is a religion of peace, have not been peaceful. Extremely few Muslims speak out against the cancer that is destroying their own religion...radicalism. They're assuming that there will not be a backlash. BUT! Swedish citizens are burning down Muslim refugee camps to limit the number of Muslims moving into that country. Denmark is freezing the number of Muslim refugees it will take. British citizens have been violently defending British girls who are attacked by Muslim immigrants for their dress or other alleged violations of Islam. Angola has banned Islam from their county because of the hateful violence.German patience is at an end and Merkle is sure to be voted out because of her decisions on Muslims. Videos of these few examples are easily found on You Tube. Muslims are offending people around the world with their hatred-filled attacks demanding that infidels submit to the will of Allah. The truth is Muslims cannot fight the whole world no matter what they may think. Attacks on citizens of counties into which Muslims demand immigration will not long wait for peaceful acquiescence in their new homelands. And, it's for sure that the same attacks that have occurred in Europe, Africa, Asia,and elsewhere will create a massive backlash in America if they occur here. Islam must begin policing itself if it wants to survive.

WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SURVIVE?

CLIMATE GUESSERS

More and more scientists are beginning to leave the sinking ship called "Climate Change."  Recently, two major scientists have very noisily fallen off the climate change momentum wagon.  Professor Woodcock is Emeritus Professor of Chemical Thermodynamics at the University of Manchester, in an interview with the Yorkshire Evening Post and reported in Nick Hallett's Breitbart column April 26, 2014, called the term climate change meaningless since essentially there has never been a time on earth that the climate has not been changing. 

He concurrently claimed that  "There is no reproducible scientific evidence CO2 has significantly increased in the last 100 years."

The scientific method of proving a hypothesis is that you produce a replicable test verifying the hypothesis  which other scientists can then confirm by reproducing the test with the same results.   Scientific computer models have been proven wrong so often that they're meaningless at this point.  Garbage in, garbage out, as they say.  None of the computer models that scientists swear by, have predicted the current state of stasis in the temperature since 1998.  Thus there is a serious problem with the predictive models. 

Meanwhile, James Lovelock, once touted as a "green guru" has rejected the so-called consensus science promoted by the ICPP and it's most recent report as too politicized to be of scientific value. 

But his claim "that climate scientists "just guess", and that no one really knows what's happening," is priceless.

Faulty computer models, climate scientists non-replicable theories,  claims that specific weather events are directly attributable to anthropomorphic climate change or warming, really put climate scientists pushing they're propaganda into a succinct couple of words:  Climate Guessers.  

Also from Hallett's column: Judith Curry, chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, also said that she was "duped into supporting the IPCC" and added "If the IPCC is dogma, then count me in as a heretic."

THE DANGER OF VOTING PRESENT

With America's foreign policy an utter failure it is horribly scary to contemplate that Barack Obama insouciance is fomenting World War III.  But, with his apotheosis in the minds of his obsequious sycophants, he will dither until Vladimir Putin with the Chinese, Iranians and other states try to  divide the world once again.

In discussing the world's precarious and explosive situation with my wife, she made the precise point of what Obama's doing regarding his foreign policy.  She said: "he's voting present."  What an absolutely astute truth!  He is voting present, just as he frequently did as an Illinois state senator .

His "failure to launch" on Syria, despite his "red line" threat, embolden Iran.  They continue to make nuclear grade uranium, develop missiles and threaten Israel.  China saw Obama's weakness and is now closer to war with Japan [and potentially Taiwan] over territory than at any time since World War II.  Putin heard his message that he'd have more latitude after the elections and understood that Obama could be rolled…the taking of Crimea by armed force is just the first step in what could be a wholesale rebuilding of the Soviet Union.  Other eastern European countries know they're now under threat. Thank you Mr. Obama.

He's refusing to even address the foreign policy issues that could kill billions.  Barack Obama proves once again he is beyond naive in understanding geopolitical issues.  Mitt Romney told him. Sarah Palin told him and all he did was mock them.  Now the "chickens are coming home to roost" to quote his favorite so-called "Christian pastor," and it's because of  Obama's policies, or lack there, that illustrate his voting present on the world stage and it's cost.

He is allowing the balkanization of Ukraine.  His decision on American energy restrictions have slowed our development of oil and gas fields that could have easily forced Russia to be much more circumspect with regard to their oil pipelines to Europe.  Domestic decisions do have an impact on the world.  Geopolitical decisions obviously have an impact on America and her interests.

Putin fully knows he has a strangle hold on the European oil supply with at least  seventeen oil pipelines going into those countries through Ukraine and that they will be in fear, causing them to fail to stand up to his thuggish geopolitical behavior.  Obama is not only voting present, he is completely impotent.

OBAMA THE AMERIPHOPE

What is Barack Hussein Obama?  Socialist, Communist, Muslim, Fascist, Anarchist, bigot, racist or is he really an Ameriphope?  Does he really hate America and doing everything he can to defecate on the Constitution and in particular its Bill of Rights?  

  

His latest ploy to control news rooms with “monitors” and the examination of intent of news media is a direct attack on the first amendment’s freedom of speech and a free press.  As you read the first amendment you realize that Obama is not only attacking speech and press but in a subtle, but no less ominous, way attacking religion.

 

He has used his Obamacare disaster to attack religious organizations and their religious spiritually held principles essentially forcing a kind of liberation theological atheism on the whole country.  Obviously, what he learned from Jeremiah Wright’s brand of theology is that America is not the land of the free and not that Christ is his savior.  Then comes Obama’s effort, using the NSA and license plate monitors, to control whom you see, where you go and what you may or may not do.  That is an obvious attack on our right to assembly. 

And the final right in the first amendment is the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.  Here, Obamacare is at it again.  The demolition of our healthcare insurance programs with millions of American unable to get the insurance they prefer and no way to challenge Obama’s pell mell  changing of laws inherent in Obamacare.  We have no way to demand redress of our grievances because Obama will not tolerate criticism of his self-assumed “imperial hand of destiny” and his will use the Internal Revenue Service for his ends.  Why not? Bill and Hillary Clinton used it extensively when they were in the White House.

So in short, Obama has obliterated the first amendment to the constitution.  The very amendment that liberals quote ad nauseam that became the rallying cry for the hippies and one of their champions, Mario Savio.  How ironic that the very person who claims to be a constitutional scholar is the one who is attacking its fundamental tenants.

Perhaps, the reason Obama became a constitutional lawyer was so he could try to destroy the constitution with an attack from within.  It appears that his constitutional studies were designed to apply Saul Alinsky’s tactics from “Rules for Radicals” to suppress the very liberties that the ten amendments were and are designed to protect.

Although I have focused on just the first amendment, it is equally true that he has distorted and diminished, as much as he can, the rest of the amendments.

This is the standard that Obama has set.  He can make laws from his White House desk without the approval of congress with his pen and telephone.  He can change laws passed by congress and signed by him at his prerogative and discretion.  Obama is not a president who has followed the oath he took before the whole nation.  He is a president that obviously hates America, thus Obama is an Ameriphobe.

The next question is what will happen when Obama is voted out of office and a Republican or Tea Party candidate assumes the mantel and they chose to attack the left using the same agencies that Obama used to attack the right.  Obama has set the pattern. 

Liberals are just now beginning to see the potential they have allowed Obama to wrought.  As his administration appears to be coming to an "end" in 2014 with the very real possibility of Republicans taking control of Congress,he will begin to see that he will be a very lame duck indeed, but the aftermath may easily be the collapse of the Democrat party as we know it today. Democrats are stepping on the Obamacare landmine.  It just hasn't gone off yet.

HE HAS NO HUMOR

Barack Obama has been a difficult person to evaluate.  I've been unable to really say what it is about him that makes him seem so unappealing.  His policies have been disastrous to everyone and the constitution.  He's been haled as a magnificent orator.   I agree he is a good teleprompter reader.  As for his oration, it is incredibly repetitious and numbingly boring. 

But even that isn't his problem.  Those who know him say he is gracious and friendly.  To me his appearance is just the opposite.  He appears aloof and not engaged in reality as though he is above the mundane elements of life.

So what is his problem.  For me it is that he is totally humorless.   Obama is about as funny as a vomit sandwich.  Reagan used his unending variety of humorous stories like a razor on his opponents and Americans loved him for it.  Reagan was naturally and personally engaging with his humor when he needed to be. He honed his skills with the addition of his infectious smile.  When Obama smiles it's as though his apotheosis is at hand so his photograph must make him appear visionary which winds up being the opposite.

But Obama is just the opposite of Reagan too.  He acts as though everything he says should be chiseled in stone.  Since he has no humor and he doesn't know how to use it to connect with average Americans his communication skills are negligible.   He is not a good orator. He is a humorless dredge.

THE WORLD IS GETTING COOLER

I am reminded ad nauseam that the world is warming and it's my fault but I deny it and blame you.  I'm just following in Barack Obama's perpetual  Bart Simpson routine (I didn't do it, nobody saw me and you can't prove anything.)  I find a problem with this.  A few days ago, the coldest temperature in recorded was posted.  A mind numbing 135.6 below Zero in Antarctica within the last few of days.  The previous record was about 128.8 below.  Can you imagine what the wind chill would have been? 

December's storm that is still affecting the county and has set a ton of cold records across the USA.   In Australia, there have been record high temperatures while the frigid cold here .  The truth is, that record highs and lows are an incredibly misleading  way to track climate change.   The latest "global warming" hyperbole is that we're going to have 30 years of horrible ice storms all over the world.  Geeeeze, can you climate guys get your stinking act together even once in a while?

Every year, record highs and lows are recorded all over the earth and have been since records have been kept.  There is, in fact, no time on earth even before recorded history that has not experienced climate change.  The difference today, is that Al Gore has been able to capitalize on this bovine  and racked in millions while living his thousand-person carbon life-style, to which I wish to become accustomed.

And while contemplating how I could follow in AlGore's (space intentionally deleted in name) footsteps and pocket those same millions I was perusing Google Earth.  I discovered that if you put the island of Papeete just about dead center of your Google Earth picture, it becomes apparent that the earth, from one perspective, is very nearly all water on it's surface and we humans are not nearly as smart as we think we are.  Temperatures recorded on satellites above ocean surfaces have remained relatively  stable and  have added to the questionable veracity of climate modeling to date.

The "global warming" modeling by so-called climate geniuses has been incredible inaccurate.  The predictions by those models have been unendingly forecasting massive and continuous cataclysmic hurricanes for the past several years.  Just recently, it was reported that this year's number of hurricanes and there intensity has been one of the fewest and least damaging in recent history.  So much for those computers and their programmers.  Huge financial government grants can turn any scientist's head.

OBAMA SKINS HIS YOUNG SUPPORTERS ALIVE....AND THEY'RE TOO IGNORANT TO KNOW

It is beyond my comprehension how completely ignorant young people are today.  Barack Obama has just about destroyed your job market.  There aren't any jobs when you get out of college.  If you didn't go to college, there aren't any blue-collar jobs because of increasing minimum wage demands or because of illegal immigrants have already taken them.  Why is it that high school students can't find summer work?  Care to guess my opinion?

If you want free medical care, check your premiums and deductables and the fact that they're much higher.  If you don't like that, how about a nice fine for not joining the Obamacare disaster while the IRS confiscates your federal tax return to pay your fine if you don't, provided you just might be one of the lucky ones who has a job and might get a return.

Job participation is a record low compared to historical figures.  Obama regulations have killed hundreds of thousands of jobs.  Obamacare will kill hundreds of thousands more.  Then Obama and his the Union buddies want to increase the minimum wage to a "livable" wage. 

If you ran a business to sell fix professional racing bicycles and you hired a kid fresh out of high school who can barely keep his pants up or a girl who's got her face glued to her Facebook account and is only worried about her BFF, would you pay either $15.00 per hour?  If they're directly out of high school, which level entry jobs are frequently made up of (or more frequently illegal aliens) you'd be broke in six months because they lack the experience to benefit the business.  A person has to be able to contribute to the bottom line like everybody.

Wake up you ignorant dufaces.  You're being skinned alive by Obama and the Democrats and you're too ignorance to even feel the pain. 

The Harvard Poll does give a little hope.  Young people 18-24think Obama should be impeached by more than a majority.  The millennials from aged 25 to 29 are fleeing Obama in droves because they can't find jobs or don't want to pay for everybody else's free health care.   

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP?  Next Obama will be tanning your skin you'll wonder what happened.

KILLING JIMMY STEWART

The filibuster rule has been killed in the US Senate by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Democrats.  The cloture rule is dead, dead, dead so Barack Obama's highly partisan's judicial appointments can be approve by the constitutional "advise and consent" rule.  If the Republicans do take the senate, it will allow Republicans power to stop all appointments by the Senate. 

 

Actor Jimmy Stewart went to Washington as Mr. Smith.  The character Mr. Smith filibustered and then was hanged for treason when Nevada Democrat Reid  yanked the latch on the gallows trap door this morning to effectively end the filibuster rule. A rule codified in 1806 in U.S. Senate rules.  

Ironically, Reid rose to filibuster in 2003 and doubly ironic is that Harry Reid filibustered  President George W. Bush judicial  nominees,  Miguel Estrada, a Hispanic immigrant for the D.C. Circuit, Janice Rogers Brown, a highly qualified black woman from the California Supreme Court  and William Pryor.  It could easily be concluded that Reid is anti-minorities based on his effort to filibuster and stop the appointment of these two minority judges.

In the "Mr.Smith goes to Washington" story, the filibuster was an effort by the character, Stewart, to stop the appointment of a corrupt stooge of a George Soros-type political power broker.

Reid was a panty-waste though when it  came to filibustering .  All he could muster was about eight hours.  U.S. Senator Ted Cruz hung in there for more than 21 hours in his recent filibuster.  

MYSTERIOUS WAYS

I was disappointed when Mitt Romney lost the election to Barack Obama.  I have been lamenting the fact that Romney would have known what to do to get the economy really rolling while Obama has been hell-bent on destroying it.  Romney tried to warn us.  But most Americans refused to believe that a president would really want to impose socialism on America.

As a conservative, I was not totally happy with all of Romney's positions, but had Romney won and he repealed Obamacare, Obama blind supporters would  never have believed and refused to even realized just how disastrous  Obama's signature legislation and the concept of socialized government medicine and personal medical care would have been to all Americans most of whom blindly accepted the Obama lie and even today refuse to see. It is ironic that Romney was probably the most prepared person to ever assume the presidency and Obama the least which has been made painfully obvious by his actions.

But God, in his infinite wisdom and mysterious ways, knew that the aggressively ignorant, self-indulgent and low comprehension Americans would not have believed Obama's socialist deception if it didn’t' hit them right in the face or perhaps specifically in the wallet.   Free medical care is the most expensive care ever created.

Ted Cruz and Mike Lee deserved to be thanked.  They tried to warn us, but even the "Republican Leadership" criticized them.  Where is the apology Mr. McCain, Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell?  Now even McCain has turned on a dime and is calling Obamacare a disaster claiming that it should be repealed.  Where, Mr. McCain, were you when Cruz and Lee were saying the exact same thing…..fighting for your own power not for the American people.

It's clear that the web page disaster is only the tip of the iceberg.  Individual insurance plan cancellations are in the process of affecting at least five-million Americans.  Obama claim "that that's only five per cent" attempting to depersonalize the affect. He's dismissing the pain it is causing those five-million Americans.  But just wait until the eighty-million Americans who have their group insurance cancelled next year.  Wait until more and more American will lose their doctors.  Wait until the lines in waiting room are two to three hour and emergency room waits  are eight to ten hours.  It already happens in southern border emergency rooms.

There is no doubt that an effort will be made to force doctors to take Medicare patients.  Obamacare is all about force, for patients, doctors and hospitals.

 It is painfully obvious Obama knew that Americans would lose the medical insurance they liked, but not only that, but doctors, speedy medical service and then have to face the prospect of death panels.  Unfortunately, while Obamacare is showing how bad it is to the average American, liberals are apoplectic that it is failing.  What they've demanded for generations is proving to be a millstone around their necks and they just may destroy America in the process.

 Charles Krauthammer is right.  It will only get worse and by the time this socialized health mess is cleaned up, America will come to hate even the intimation of socialized anything…especially socialized health care and liberals will be hiding under rocks for years to come.  In the meantime, low-comprehension voters will still be claiming that conservatives destroyed America not their beloved Obama.  They will remain clueless.

THE HUGE CHANGE IN AMERICAN POLITICS THIS WEEK

Americans are now free to accuse a black president of lying!

This week has seen a monumental change in America.  There is no more fear of criticizing Barack Obama.  Until now everyone seemed to live in total fear of accusing Obama for anything even when his scandals were blatant, death-causing and damaging to our country and constitution for fear of being called a racist. 

Democrats, liberals, and wild-eyed leftists were always quick to name-call anyone a racist for any criticism of Obama or his anti-American policies. 

This week that's changed 180 degrees!!!  Obama has been so totally dishonest in telling us to our face that a person could keep their insurance even with the introduction of Obamacare that fear of calling him a liar , even if he is still black, is no longer of concern .  People no long fear the "you're-a-racist lie perpetrated by Obama's leftist Democrats.

This has nothing to do with race.  It's now about your wallet!  But, because of Obama's bald-faced lies, the fear of criticizing a "Black" president  doesn’t have the ramifications it formerly had.  The truth is out.  Obama's imperial presidency has done this to itself, especially led by Obama himself.

Power corrupts, absolute corrupts absolutely and Obama thought he had absolute power. This week he found out he doesn't!

OBAMA STARS AS SERGEANT SCHULTZ

MSNBC has finally, after years of aggressively refusing to tell the truth about Barack Obama, discovered that he is actually Sergeant Schultz of…"I know NOTHING" fame.   The erstwhile (yes erstwhile because it certainly isn't a news organization now, it's a propaganda arm of the Obama administration) and alleged news organization has suddenly recognized that Obama doesn't know anything about anything that he doesn't want to know anything about. 

He has a MAMMOTH case of plausible deniability until it's reported on news organizations he deigns to recognize as news organizations, even if their news credibility is negligible. Then he is awestruck that this terrible thing has happened, that he didn't know anything about, and he is terribly concerned.  

Unfortunately, MSNBC and it's cohorts in the mainstream media have actively failed to inform Obama through their omissions of news stories that Obama needed information about so he was unable to evaluate the  policies that he was promoting in his speeches.  Some might ask why Obama wasn't getting the information from his secret czars or cabinet secretaries. 

As MSNBC finally reported, Obama "didn't know anything."  The cable news service did a truncated version of the  "I found out about this from the same news stories you heard them from" montage. Of course, Mika was dutifully outraged.  The number of statements covering all of the issues including Fast and Furious, Solandra,  Benghazi,  Obamacare's disastrous rollout, IRS targeting the Tea Party, conservative groups and private individuals, NSA spying on Americans and seizing news organization records and wiretapping world leaders weren't all of the scandals in his administration.

Obama has been labeled the "BY-STANDER PRESIDENT."  And so he is.  He certainly is completely disengaged, at least from governing.  He is in and only in full money-raising mode and does it continually.  If he put half as much effort in actually running the government as he does in raising money, maybe, just maybe, he might hear more about the disaster that is his presidency.  

WILL OBAMA BECOME THE MOST DESPISED PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY?

Stories that are surfacing on Obamacare's roll out keep getting worse and worse.   Average couples who have health insurance and their families are learning the truth about the real cost of the Affordable Care Act. They have been hammered by increased premiums and deductables.   Many simply can no longer afford health care through private insurance companies.

Some yearly premiums have skyrocketed.  One such middle income family saw its premiums go from about $6000 per year with low co-pays and no deductables to $10,000 per year and deductables of $12,700.  This couple is not alone.  This same scenario is playing out all over America.  The anger is becoming palpable.

Here are sources of the angst that is beginning to bubble up:

·         Bad information from the very sources who are supposed to know.

·         The disaster that is the sign up debacle is creating a frustration level that will exceed even the worst DMV line.

·         Computers can be very frustrating for inexperienced users so the actual number of signees is tiny. Having been bitten once, many won't try again. 

·         The jack-booted Internal Revenue Service thugs will be working overtime taking refunds from taxpayers.  When the IRS starts taking tax refunds, especially from young taxpayers, I shudder to think of those consequences.

·         Delays in approvals have just begun.  It will be an ongoing

·         Those who have difficulty signing up on line won't believe Obama would fine them when it's not their fault that the Obama ACA doesn't work if they haven't signed up for some kind of health care..

·         Many who assume they've registered and have insurance, will be shocked to find out they missed one tiny box on the signup sheet and are not covered.  Most likely, this shock will be when they need it most, and they'll be out in the cold.

·         Voters who kissed Obama's shoes will now find out what "What's in the bill" really means and they are not going to be happy.

·         Obama Supporters who think they have insurance that they can afford and going to face deductables that will stagger them will still leave them with no way to pay the deductables.

·         College students with their new degrees, who sang the praises of Obama, will have to use precious resources to pay their fines or premiums, and then discover that the jobs that Obama promised too will be 28 hours-per-week menial burger flippers.

·         The really poor among us will be shattered to learn that the hope and change they were promised will be a sham and thirty million will still be without insurance, and the insurance that is available will be worse than before.

·         When children want their elderly parents to have the best possible care, they will be "Death Paneled" to die without care but with Obama "pills" to alleviate pain.

·         The economy will slow even more.  Growth will be nearly non-existent with fewer and fewer ways to make it grow.  America will continue to slide into irrelevance and those who praised Obama will spew vitriol.

And for all his efforts Obama won't be able to blame this one on Bush. As it was proven in the recent “SHUTDOWN” Obama owns Obamacare lock-stock-and-barrel and Republicans will be in a position to say “We Tried.”

For the next year, the anger now growing, will burst into the open. 

THE SPITEFUL OBAMA

Over time, I've struggled with trying to find a really apt description in just one word defining Barack Obama and his deepest self.  From his nose in-the-air arrogance to his terminal intransigence and imperial dictations none of the words I've used seemed to sufficiently describe his true nature with it's hateful connotations.

With the shutdown of the government, it has finally become very apparent.  He is a very SPITEFUL man.  He has become "the dreams of his father."  As a committed communist, his father hated Democratic capitalistic freedom.  Obama is continuing that dream of hate, and it's been manifeste in his vengeful spite.

OBAMA IS PURE SPITE.  He has infected the entire Democrat Party with it.  Harry Reid has announced that he doesn't care about children with cancer.  The pain of others is only important when it services the socialistic agenda of Obama's Democrat Party.

He will not talk to anyone who is not ready to capitulate fully with his demands.  "I will not negotiate with Republicans," yells Obama.  "I will not negotiate with Republicans," screams Reid,  "we do not care if it causes pain to the American people.   Spite, Spite, Spite!!!

LIBERTY BELL, MATTHEW "TIMELESS" WELTER AND THE FIRE INSIDE

Dark Clouds Rising, my previous post, outlines the demolition of America by Barack Obama and the Democrats.  In the process of searching for symbols of what is happening under Obama’s administration, I ran across a sculpture by a Carson City, Nevada artist by the name of Matthew Welter.  He calls his latest type of art Fire Inside.

I’ve done some research and he has a sculpture shop on highways 395 and 50.  Apparently, he’s an avid “burner” as he calls himself on his Facebook.  As I understand the term, Burning Man back in the late 80’s, it was about a group of hippies going to the desert and “BURNING---THE MAN.”  The man, in those days, meant just about any kind of authority from the “Pigs” (police) to Washington conservative politicians.  

The Burners built a huge wooden stick man, (sort of a takeoff on the “Wickerman” an ancient practice by Druids--priests of Celtic paganism) who burned it in effigy that may have included human sacrifice.

Since burning is a singular feature of Burning Man, Welter devised a way to burn his sculptures from the inside but before they are totally consumed by fire he apparently douses the fire at a specific point and the statement is made.

Welter seems to be an iconoclast of sorts in the burner community, a free thinker who promotes Liberty as his primary objective.  A rather fascinating gyration given the heavily partisan super-left inclinations usually associated with Burning Man devotees who originally demanded liberty from the man.

But the Liberty Bell sculpture is what grabbed my attention.  As I look at it, it is obviously symbolic, some might say impressionistic.  But its symbolism cannot be denied. 

Welter chose to make the wooden cross-bar across the top, very rough hewn, leaving cut marks and natural elements of the log left very obvious.  The bar is an excellent representation of America in its infancy.  A country forged in the blood and sweat of hardy souls searching for liberty from tyrannical kings.  Out of that cauldron of difficulty came a strong people, a self-reliant people, a totally independent-natured people.  Yes, a little rough around the edges at times, but with a generous nature and an indomitable will.  That is the meaning of the cross-bar in Welter’s sculpture.

The bell itself is much smoother, cultured, more refined and just enough texture to remind us of our difficult beginnings.  

Then comes the fire inside!  In this piece, it creates the representation of the insidious nature of Obama liberalism.  It destroys from within too. It guts our hard won freedoms in to a black-carbon emptiness with scars on the surface and an empty shell. Gone is our unlimited potential, replaced by subservience. The crossbar, unburned, unblackened, remains yet another symbol of what we once were: tough, resilient, an unrelenting beacon of freedom and liberty to the world.

What is left, as illustrated by this sculpture, is the America as Obama designed it: a severely weakened third world country, where dependence and submission to “THE MAN” is the measure of our fulfillment.  Burning Man has come full circle.  Its original intention of freedom from “The Man” has become the burning and demolition of the American will. 

The Man has won! We are now fully compliant serfs to the liberal left, the very reason that created Burning Man in the first place.   Burning the “wickerman” on the Playa, as they call it, is now the signal that we are bowing to “The Man”!  It’s OK now because the Man is a socialistic liberal. How ironic.

Welter’s Liberty Bell is such an apt symbol.  There were huge sculptures and art on the Playa: many beautiful, some profane, some whimsical and some simply grotesque. But of all the pictures I’ve seen of Burning Man, the Liberty Bell is the best: small in size, huge in meaning.
