Just noticed this. Back on the 6th of January, Marco Rubio fired off a scathing letter to Obama in reference to him wanting to raise the debt ceiling yet again. If this were to happen, then America’s debt would be in excess of $16 trillion.

Way to go moron. Add more to the debt, don’t do shit about the spending, stop a jobs project that actually makes sense to do while you’re at it. Obama is a stuttering cluster fuck of a miserable failure. (SCOAMF).

Rubio in letter to Obama: You are turning America into a ‘deadbeat nation’

by Jason Mattera

In a scathing letter sent to Barack Obama​ this morning, Senator Marco Rubio said that under the President’s first term in office, “more and more people have come to believe that America is becoming a deadbeat nation.”

Rubio went on to pledge that he would challenge any further increase in the debt ceiling, arguing that “we [Congress] need to make it routine to actually spend no more than we take in.” In the letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, the Florida Senator said that President Obama’s upcoming request to increase the debt ceiling by a whopping $1.2 trillion will cause the nation’s public debt to surpass the $16 trillion mark.

Mark Levin is definately on to something here. I believe that America is lost. The only way back is to stop liberalism in its tracks and repeal the many laws that violate the Constitution. Otherwise, we may see another 1775.

Mark Levin on ‘Ameritopia:’ ‘We Now Live in a Post-Constitutional Country’

(CNSNews.com) – In an interview with CNSNews.com about his new book—“Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America”—Mark R. Levin said he believes America has already largely become “a post-constitutional country.”

The book, released Monday, compares the Utopian and unworkable schemes laid out by political philosophers from Plato to Thomas Hobbes with the vision of natural law, God-given rights, and individual liberty that inspired the Founding Fathers when they wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

With a Web-wide protest on Wednesday that includes a 24-hour shutdown of the English-language Wikipedia, the legislative battle over two Internet piracy bills has reached an extraordinary moment — a political coming of age for a relatively young and disorganized industry that has largely steered clear of lobbying and other political games in Washington.

Wikipedia is black today.

Looks like the Army is stepping up to the plate with the Android. I like my Android. I think this is a step in the right direction. Go Army!

Army sets tone for government’s mobile enterprise with Android

By Henry Kenyon Jan 11, 2012

The Defense Department is taking the point in the federal government’s campaign to deploy mobile devices. But in its role as trail blazer, DOD must also wrestle with a number of issues key to a successful rollout of approved smart phones and tablets.

Among those issues are security, authentication and the logistics of managing many devices with varying degrees of access across the DOD enterprise.

Recent developments make government officials confident that high levels of security can be achieved for devices running on the Android operating system, but verifying who is using a particular piece of equipment remains a challenge. The department is looking at a range of identity verification techniques, from biometrics to physical and software user certificates to ensure that person sending that text or phone call is who they say they are.
