Topic: This had to happen under the Obama Regime - China #1

[Libertas]

Hang on to your hats, America.
 
And throw away that big, fat styrofoam finger while you’re about it.
 
There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just say it: We’re no longer No. 1. Today, we’re No. 2. Yes, it’s official. The Chinese economy just overtook the United States economy to become the largest in the world. For the first time since Ulysses S. Grant was president, America is not the leading economic power on the planet.
 
It just happened — and almost nobody noticed.

Uhh, no, sub-genius, it did not "just happen" and it did not go unnoticed by people with a modicum of intelligence.  It is the result of decades of progressive-spawned regulation, taxation, indoctrination, subjugation, appropriation, prevarication and confiscation...and it didn't hit its full convergence until Obama, Pelosi & Reid led the way with Neo-Keynesian overdrive on porkulus projects to crony capitalist campaign contributors, industry-enslaving TARP, regulatory hyperdrive, using the IRS & EPA as weapons, massively bloated budgets and seam-busting deficits and never-ending increases on the national credit card, industry-crushing and slave-making Obamacare legislation in the dark of night and dictatorial edicts issued by a rogue executive to really help put the CHi-Com's over the top!

Congratulations, American dipshyts, you are no longer budened with guilt over being successful, you may now freely and openly fail at will and feel good about it.

Imagine the headlines had it happened with a Republican in the WH.

Yes all those wealthy statist corporatist that fill Democrat coffers that ship American jobs and earnings overseas would become Republicans in the media and share in the blame...

BTDT...

Oh those will come as soon as there is one-- as if it hadn't happen till just then
The first ones against the wall should be the "Journalists"  - even before the politicians.

And on this very subject, I just read a screed about the media that fully articulates my own bottomless well of contempt for them.  From Ivy Mike Cafe: http://www.ivymikecafe.com/2014/12/10/ferguson-return-of-the-assholes/

There are not enough words that can quantify the absolute contempt I have for the media in the USA. They are worse than Congress. They are more disgusting than boy-raping priests. They are the dried up effluvium on the side of a toilet bowl after a hyper-promiscuous gay dude who ate Thai food and had been taking bareback loads all night in a bath house empties his bowels in his morning after haze. They make me cringe. They make me rage.

They do not report facts. They have a narrative that they push that jibes with marxist, racialist, and racist radicals ensconced in positions of power throughout the DC-NY-LA axis of awful and the associated formerly known “institutes of higher education” that are platinum-funded indoctrination camps. The revelations coming from Sharyl Attkisson about their collusion with regime elements to deny the truth about activities that are arguably treason confirm that everything they do and say is fraudulent, if not outright criminal. Rolling Stone stepping on its wanker with the UVA rape story as well as that platinum-coated, marxist princess and Hollywood darling Lena Dunham’s fantasy about getting raped by an evil, white, conservative quickly going up in flames are great examples of the level of malfeasance that has come to be acceptable “journalism” by an industry overrun by cultural marxists.

They took sides in the Ferguson matter immediately to trumpet unsubstantiated rumor from insane people that harbor the same cultural marxist grievance complexes that they do. They appealed to the most base, id-driven impulses of tribalism – pitting American against American because of skin color, and they were instrumental in creating the environment that resulted in riots, looting, arson, and murder after the grand jury stated its will. There is blood all over their hands. Even after multiple autopsies by different sources confirmed that the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was complete bullsh*t, they still ran with it unquestioningly. As analysis over the transcripts from the grand jury continue, it will show that they were not duped by halfwits into reporting bullsh*t, but actively worked to push fiction as fact to further political agendas and power grabs by evil people.

The only ray of hope that came out of this whole mess with the media is that it seems the vengeful beast they have been instrumental in creating is loosing itself from the moorings placed by its left-liberal masters and lashing out at the very people who created it. Watching the social justice warrior disguised as a CNN “journalist” in NYC cover a bridge-closing “demonstration” by losers crowding around him shouting “f**k CNN!” over and over was nice. The petulant face of Anderson Cooper when the people he egged on for weeks f**ked up his little “man of the people” broadcast was priceless. My only disappointment was that the crowd didn’t take down CNN’s “man on the street,” beat his ass to a pulp, and steal his camera.

Watching the woman reporting for the Communist News Network get pelted in the head with a rock was pretty sweet, too. I wished it cracked her skull open so that the cloud of green swamp gas that exists in the void that should be filled by brain would have seeped out for all the world to see to understand the intellectual vapidity of this mouthpiece. Seems like her mocha complexion wasn’t quite the ghetto pass she hoped it would be while ghetto black America was in melee mode.

Maybe after a few reporters go missing or some bathe in a few Molotov cocktails from a fracas they’ve created, some introspection may occur. The day may come when the six-figure marxist revolutionary “journalist” is looking at what is now scarred, melted skin that once was his face before the Molotov, and ask himself “Am I an asshole? Are the people around me assholes? Do I bring discontent and ruin everywhere I go and with everything I do? Maybe I should have done it differently.”

As for me, the media is now an enemy force working to undermine the Constitution, civilization, and the rule of law. I will do everything in my power to disrupt their abilities to do their jobs. I will provide disinformation to them with every breath. I will mock them ceaselessly. I will yell “f**k her right in the pussy” anytime I see one trying to do a live broadcast anywhere to profane them, their work, and their goals. I will hope the level of insecurity they are bringing to others through their works rains down on them in floods. They are nothing more than Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally, and Hanoi Hannah wrapped into one, all inside of our borders. They need to be treated as the subversive, anti-American element that they are.

Best of all, we can kill them by fact checking the hell out of them. We know unequivocally that anything produced by the axis of awful is lies, and they cannot be sustained in the decentralized environment of the Internet. The unraveling of the Ferguson narrative, the UVA rape narrative, the Lena Dunham victim narrative, and the inevitable unraveling of the Beghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS abuse, and Obamacare narratives are all outcomes of the fact-checking ability of the tens of millions of bright minds that are laying siege to a dying behemoth of an industry. Untouchables, no more.

I want to luxuriate in the sounds of their gurgling death rattles as the ropes go taught. I hate them. I hate them because they know exactly what they are doing, as they hide behind the fig leaf of "journalism." I cannot wait until they pay for what they have done, and make no mistake: they will pay, one way or another. They'll either be consumed by the monsters of their own creation, or they will face the righteous anger of a rejuvenated civilization. Either way it's going to suck to be them.

Damn fine rant!  He is 100% correct.  These scumbags got a world of hurt coming their way, they fully deserve the butchery coming for them, if they foolishly think they can survive what is coming then their ignorance is only going to make their suffering worse.  Too damn bad.
