Obama LIE Of The Day

2012-02-15T08:19:00.001-05:00

We're releasing details of the blueprint for next year's budget. I won't read it for you. It has lots of numbers. The main idea is this - when our nation is growing and creating jobs faster, we must keep it on track.

- President Obama. How do you plan speeding up a "recovery" when you are planning to raise taxes and crowd out private spending with a bloated budget?

The Global Warming Hoax

The Global Warming Hoax is Now Killing People

Posted by Alan Caruba on February 13, 2012 at 4:48pm

By Friday, February 10th, an estimated 500 Europeans had died from the freezing weather gripping the continent. This is the price they and British citizens are paying for embracing the global warming hoax, spending billions for wind power when they should have been building coal-fired and other sources of energy to heat their homes and businesses.

As the British daily, The Telegraph, reported on Friday, “Serbia has started implementing power cuts in a desperate bid to stave off the collapse of its national grid as the country suffers the effects of days of freezing temperatures.”

I and others have been warning for years that the Earth has been cooling since 1998 and that the planet is on the cusp of a new ice age because the average length of an interglacial period of warmth between such ages is now coming to an end after the passage of some 11,500 years.

All aspects of global warming legislation and spending programs must be utterly reversed if we are not going to see huge losses of life and the disruption of entire economies.

The Ottawa Citizen published an Agence France Presse article on Friday reporting that “Thick ice closed vast swaths of the Danube on Thursday, crippling shipping on Europe’s busiest waterway, as the death toll from bitter cold across the continent rose…as it has every day for nearly two weeks.” The report noted that “Navigation was impossible or restricted in Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria, as ice covered the river or formed dangerous floes in shipping lanes.”

No shipping means no delivery of coal and oil and no shipping of food and other necessities. Europe is freezing over as the United States has been experiencing an unusually mild winter thus far. That, too, is likely to yield to the increased cooling of the planet and then, maybe, Americans will realize the threat to their lives that the closing of coal-fired plants, instigated by the Environmental Protection Agency, really means.

In England, the Mail, reported on Sunday, February 12th, that large numbers of its elderly citizens are being “frozen to death as fuel bills soar: hypothermia cases among the elderly double in five years.” England, now gripped by foolish green notions of renewable energy, has covered itself with wind turbines, despoiling its countryside and coasts while proving unreliable and incapable of meeting its energy needs.

Figures showed that “1,876 patients were treated in hospital for hypothermia in 2010-2011, up from 950 in 2006-2007” reported the Mail. “Three-quarters of victims were pensioners, with cases soaring among the over-60s more than any other age group.”

In Europe, other news organizations reported that “Many of the dead were homeless people, who literally froze to death as the temperatures dropped to minus 50 degrees in some parts of the continent. Their bodies were found in the streets buried under snow, in rivers, and in doorways. Dozens of people were also killed in weather-related accidents.”

Writing in a Turkish newspaper, the Hurriyet Daily News, Sophie Quintin Adali, an analyst for a project of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, said, “As if the debt crisis weren’t bad enough news, the climate freeze sweeping across Europe is wreaking havoc by severely disrupting travel, business and people’s lives. Local authorities, indeed whole countries, are caught poorly prepared.” Turkey is experiencing record snowfall and low temperatures.

“The lack of readiness should come as no surprise because for decades the sensationalist message of global warming has dominated the public area,” said Ms. Adali.

“Politicians and decades of political environmentalism have a lot to answer for,” said Ms. Adali. “The man-made climate theory…is still supported by a mighty European Union bureaucracy and a green network addicted to public funds.” Even now, the Green Climate Fund “through which millions of taxpayer’s money will still be disbursed” is threatening the lives and the economy of people worldwide.

The current freeze is not just affecting Europe, but reaching across the Mediterranean to North African nations. And at some point America will feel it too.

We have not built a single new nuclear plant in America since 1978. EPA rules are forcing the closure of coal-fired plants throughout the nation. The national grid for the distribution of electricity is in need of upgrades.

The nation’s policies are controlled by the most environmentally insane administration in its history, wasting billions on so-called green energy. Its new budget raises taxes and proposes a trillion-dollar deficit without any significant effort to cut the spending that has left this and future generations in debt while the price of gas soars to new heights.

America and the rest of the world have been horribly deceived by the United Nations Intergovernmental Climate Change Panel that continues to drive the global warming hoax. The lying scientists who got on the global warming gravy train, the politicians that embraced it, and the media that misled millions are all culpable, all responsible.

They should be driven from office, defunded, and chased through the streets like villagers in pursuit of Frankenstein.

People are freezing to death in their homes and in the streets. What will it take to drive a stake into the heart of the global warming monster?

The Drive By Media (Liberal)

2012-02-14T10:01:00.001-05:00

Questions asked to Republican candidates from the drive-by media range from total non-sense to absolutely idiotic. Rick Santorum got the conservative treatment on Sunday.

What happened and what should we do about it?

On NBC’s Meet the Press or as Rush likes to call it, Meet the Depressed, David Gregory asked Rick Santorum the following question:

Let me ask you one more question about women. If you are President of the United States, and women want to work in your administration. Do single women without children only need apply? Are you going to respect the decision of women to come work for you if that’s the choice they make, or would they be somehow held by radical feminists?

Did Media Matters email in the talking points for David Gregory?

Can you imagine David Gregory asking Barack Obama a tough question about his birth certificate or Jeremiah Wright or perhaps even his questionable land deal in Chicago.

Come to think of it, can you imagine David Gregory or anyone at NBC asking Obama a tough question?

The media is certainly to the left. No one seriously even debates that any more. There is no conservative broadcast or cable news. Fox News has moved to the center, parting ways with or reducing the roles of their major conservative anchors and personalities. Politico has a good article on this today, if you have missed it.

Conservatives spend a lot of time complaining about the liberal media, but we do nothing about it.

The Daily Caller has been doing a series of exposes on Media Matters, with inside information about Media Matters’ plans to try and silence conservative media.

One of the plans Media Matters planned was to encourage people to buy shares in News Corp., which is the parent company of Fox News to complain about their conservative slant.

What works for them, works for us. NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which is owned by Comcast (51%) and GE (49%). Both Comcast and GE are publicly traded companies, which means anyone can buy shares of their stock.

NBC’s ratings, particularly those of MSNBC continue to tank. Fox News has more viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined. Someone can make a good argument at a shareholders’ meeting that the leadership of NBC needs to be changed.

A shareholder has the right to go to the shareholder meetings and even present resolutions to be voted on by the shareholders.

So the question is, why don’t conservatives band together, buy Comcast and GE shares, take our complaints to the shareholders meeting and make some changes?

The answer is for the most part, we are happier just complaining about liberal bias in the media than we are about doing something to change it.

We can.

The good news is there is a revolution coming. The old broadcast media are the dinosaurs and the giant meteor of death is about to sweep down on them. The giant meteor of death is the Internet.

The Internet is the great equalizer.

The good news is this may well be the last Presidential election where the broadcast networks dominate the news. By 2016, the Internet should be putting the old broadcast networks on the endangered species list.

We conservatives just need to make sure we are on the web and do not let the liberals artificially control the web so our viewpoints are heard.

More Obama Corruption

The Solar thing just got a little more interesting:

The Tonopah Solar company in Harry Reid's Nevada is getting a $737 million loan from Obama's DOE.

The project will produce a 110 megawatt power system and employ 45 permanent workers.

That's costing us just $16 million per job.

One of the investment partners in this

endeavor is Pacific Corporate Group (PCG). The PCG executive director is Ron Pelosi, who is the brother to Nancy's husband.

Just move along folks. Nuthin' goin' on here.

Allen West on the Marines Incident: 'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'

2012-01-15T15:45:00.001-05:00

“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?

“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Tim Tebow–An Inspiration

2012-01-14T09:14:00.001-05:00

I believe in Tim Tebow

By Rick Reilly
ESPN.com
Tim Tebow FoundationTim Tebow with Jacob Rainey, one of the many people dealing with health problems Tebow hosted at Broncos games this season.

I've come to believe in Tim Tebow, but not for what he does on a football field, which is still three parts Dr. Jekyll and two parts Mr. Hyde.

No, I've come to believe in Tim Tebow for what he does off a football field, which is represent the best parts of us, the parts I want to be and so rarely am.

Who among us is this selfless?

Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to the Broncos game, rents them a car, puts them up in a nice hotel, buys them dinner (usually at a Dave & Buster's), gets them and their families pregame passes, visits with them just before kickoff (!), gets them 30-yard-line tickets down low, visits with them after the game (sometimes for an hour), has them walk him to his car, and sends them off with a basket of gifts.

Home or road, win or lose, hero or goat.

Remember last week, when the world was pulling its hair out in the hour after Tebow had stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 80-yard OT touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas in the playoffs? And Twitter was exploding with 9,420 tweets about Tebow per second? When an ESPN poll was naming him the most popular athlete in America?

Tebow was spending that hour talking to 16-year-old Bailey Knaub about her 73 surgeries so far and what TV shows she likes.

MORE FROM TIM TEBOW

For Tim Tebow's take on being named America's most popular athlete, click here.

"Here he'd just played the game of his life," recalls Bailey's mother, Kathy, of Loveland, Colo., "and the first thing he does after his press conference is come find Bailey and ask, 'Did you get anything to eat?' He acted like what he'd just done wasn't anything, like it was all about Bailey."

More than that, Tebow kept corralling people into the room for Bailey to meet. Hey, Demaryius, come in here a minute. Hey, Mr. Elway. Hey, Coach Fox.

Even though sometimes-fatal Wegener's granulomatosis has left Bailey with only one lung, the attention took her breath away.

"It was the best day of my life," she emailed. "It was a bright star among very gloomy and difficult days. Tim Tebow gave me the greatest gift I could ever imagine. He gave me the strength for the future. I know now that I can face any obstacle placed in front of me. Tim taught me to never give up because at the end of the day, today might seem bleak but it can't rain forever and tomorrow is a new day, with new promises."

I read that email to Tebow, and he was honestly floored.

"Why me? Why should I inspire her?" he said. "I just don't feel, I don't know, adequate. Really, hearing her story inspires me."

It's not just NFL defenses that get Tebowed. It's high school girls who don't know whether they'll ever go to a prom. It's adults who can hardly stand. It's kids who will die soon.

For the game at Buffalo, it was Charlottesville, Va., blue-chip high school QB Jacob Rainey, who lost his leg after a freak tackle in a scrimmage. Tebow threw three interceptions in that Buffalo game and the Broncos were crushed 40-14.

"He walked in and took a big sigh and said, 'Well, that didn't go as planned,'" Rainey remembers. "Where I'm from, people wonder how sincere and genuine he is. But I think he's the most genuine person I've ever met."

There's not an ounce of artifice or phoniness or Hollywood in this kid Tebow, and I've looked everywhere for it.

Take 9-year-old Zac Taylor, a child who lives in constant pain. Immediately after Tebow shocked the Chicago Bears with a 13-10 comeback win, Tebow spent an hour with Zac and his family. At one point, Zac, who has 10 doctors, asked Tebow whether he has a secret prayer for hospital visits. Tebow whispered it in his ear. And because Tebow still needed to be checked out by the Broncos' team doctor, he took Zac in with him, but only after they had whispered it together.

And it's not always kids. Tom Driscoll, a 55-year-old who is dying of brain cancer at a hospice in Denver, was Tebow's guest for the Cincinnati game. "The doctors took some of my brain," Driscoll says, "so my short-term memory is kind of shot. But that day I'll never forget. Tim is such a good man."

This whole thing makes no football sense, of course. Most NFL players hardly talk to teammates before a game, much less visit with the sick and dying.

Isn't that a huge distraction?

Stephanie Taylor Not everything Tim Tebow does on one knee is controversial. Ask Zac Taylor.

"Just the opposite," Tebow says. "It's by far the best thing I do to get myself ready. Here you are, about to play a game that the world says is the most important thing in the world. Win and they praise you. Lose and they crush you. And here I have a chance to talk to the coolest, most courageous people. It puts it all into perspective. The game doesn't really matter. I mean, I'll give 100 percent of my heart to win it, but in the end, the thing I most want to do is not win championships or make a lot of money, it's to invest in people's lives, to make a difference."

So that's it. I've given up giving up on him. I'm a 100 percent believer. Not in his arm. Not in his skills. I believe in his heart, his there-will-definitely-be-a-pony-under-the-tree optimism, the way his love pours into people, right up to their eyeballs, until they believe they can master the hopeless comeback, too.

Remember the QB who lost his leg, Jacob Rainey? He got his prosthetic leg a few weeks ago, and he wants to play high school football next season. Yes, tackle football. He'd be the first to do that on an above-the-knee amputation.

Hmmm. Wonder where he got that crazy idea?

"Tim told me to keep fighting, no matter what," Rainey says. "I am."

Cranky Obama didn't want to take pictures with troops in Iraq

After the talk, out of earshot from the soldiers and diplomats, he starts to complain. He starts to act very un-Obamalike, according to a U.S. embassy official who helped organize the trip in Baghdad.

He’s asked to go out to take a few more pictures with soldiers and embassy staffers. He’s asked to sign copies of his book. “He didn’t want to take pictures with any more soldiers; he was complaining about it,” a State Department official tells me.

Liberal Idiocy!

2012-01-07T10:35:00.001-05:00

Your ID please

Posted by Judson Phillips on January 7, 2012 at 8:18am in Tea Party Nation Forum

If you are in Illinois and your drain stops up, you have a problem. Actually, if your drain stops up anywhere, you have a problem. But in Illinois your problems are worse. And those problems say a lot about the priorities and idiocy of the left.

What is going on?

In Illinois, today if you need to by drain cleaner or other caustic substances, you must show a government issued ID and you will be entered into a database.

The impetus for the law was attacks on two women where acid was poured on them and they were badly scarred. Chicago Democrat Representative Jack Franks pushed this measure and the bill sailed through the Democrat controlled state legislature.

As typical of Democrats everywhere, when something bad happens, instead of wanting to punish wrong doers, Democrats want to punish and harass the great mass of law-abiding citizens. Two people were attacked out of a city of 2.7 million and now if you need to get something to unplug your drain not only do you have to show a photo ID but you must also end up on a government database. What is wrong with this picture?

While Democrats think it is perfectly necessary to inconvenience law abiding people by forcing them to produce a photo ID to buy drain cleaner, they still resist all efforts to require a photo ID to vote.

Why?

Well, it certainly says something about their priorities.

Stealing elections is important to the Democrats. Otherwise, in many elections, they would lose!

In Colorado, the Attorney General discovered almost 12,000 illegal aliens registered to vote. In the 2010 election, at least 5,000 of them did. In December 2011, four Democrat Party officials from Troy New York entered guilty pleas to voter fraud. In Tunica County Mississippi, a Democrat official was sentenced to five years in prison for voter fraud. In the last two years, ACORN itself and former ACORN officials were convicted in Nevada for voter fraud. ACORN submitted as many as 60,000 fraudulent voter registrations. They even registered the entire starting line up of the Dallas Cowboys as voters in Nevada.

Why?

They want to steal elections.

In 2006, George Bush extended the Voting Rights act for 25 years. This bill only covers southern states with a history of disenfranchising minorities. The original bill was passed almost 50 years ago and that history is long since dead.

We need to revise the Voting Rights Act to focus on eliminating the kind of voter fraud that the Party of Treason specializes in. Neither Tennessee nor Texas need to be under the scope of this law. Illinois, Nevada and Wisconsin, with their history of voter fraud do.

We stand on the edge of a conservative revolution. Simply putting conservatives into office is not enough. We must make certain that we eliminate the ability of the left to engage in voter fraud.

Alan Colmes vile remarks only a continuation of liberal practices

2012-01-04T11:51:00.001-05:00

Alan Colmes vile remarks only a continuation of liberal practices

Jack E. Kemp

So when Alan Colmes, a noted liberal commentator, made those vile remarks on the air about the Santorum family wanting their children to play with the brother who died two hours after childbirth, was he continuing a pattern of liberal practices? Yes. Apparently taking one’s dead child home and holding a funeral mass and hugging it is considered “weird” for Alan Colmes – and “ghoulish” for the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/22/magazine/22SANTORUM.html?ei=5088&... The family held a Catholic service at home, as “American Infidel” has pointed out. Apparently Alan Colmes is now an expert on how people are supposed to react when a loved one dies – and as if that has something to do with the 2012 Presidential campaign.

On a personal note, when my dad died in 2003, I went to the hospice that I had taken him to earlier in the day – and I kissed his forehead that night after he was gone. I have met a man in Florida who took care of a wife for twelve years – and when she died, he wanted to go drive to the airport to buy a ticket back to New York, even though it is something he could have bought it on the phone or perhaps the internet. It would not enter my mind to judge his behavior.

But let’s return to Alan Colmes. Where did he get political values concerning commenting on a politician’s private family issues? Let’s take a walk down memory lane.

When Sen. Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash in 2002, there was a memorial service in which the invited Republican guest Sen. Trent Lott was booed as he entered to pay his respects to a fellow U.S. Senator. Also the state’s Governor at that time – and his wife – the Jesse Ventura family, were booed. Mrs. Ventura later started to cry and her husband escorted her home. The most shocking part of this – to me – was Sen. Wellstone’s son yelling about the upcoming election for his late father’s seat, yelling, “We are going to WIN!” He looked like a drunk at an NFL game played in New Jersey or Philadelphia. Minnesotans were repulsed and showed it at the polls.

In the 2004 Presidential debate between John Kerry and Pres. Bush, Kerry made a snide remark about Dick Cheney’s daughter being a lesbian, as if that had anything to do with national issues. http://cnsnews.com/node/29800 It was reported that college students audibly gasped at the crudeness of the remark – mostly liberal college students. This had been preceded by Mrs. Teresa Kerry saying that Mrs. Laura Bush didn’t have “a real job” because she was raising children without having work outside the home. I recall a woman with four children calling into a talk show in the Northeast after the election totally outraged by that condescending remark. My own personal reaction was, “Gee, when my mother held my forehead late some night when I was a small child retching into the toilet, I didn’t know she wasn’t doing a real job. But I think Teresa was wrong about that.”

During the confirmation hearings for Condoleeza Rice for the office of Secretary of State in 2007, Sen. Barbara Boxer remarked that Dr. Rice was not qualified because she had never been a mother, i.e., had no children who would “pay a price” in the military for the U.S. going to war. http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/Boxers%20Outrageous%20A... Mrs. Boxer – yes, I know how hard she worked for that “Senator” title - went national insulting every person who had not been a mother (or a father), by extension, as being uncapable of caring about the future of the United States. Sen. Boxer never made such charges against Attorney General Janet Reno nor Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Kagan – but they are Democrats.

In an April 2008 speech in North Carolina, Barack Obama did a middle school boy’s trick supposedly scratching his face – as he flipped Clinton the bird. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhkq11UExcw Obama did it again to John McCain here in the Presidential campaign. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZWW0c5yDCM&feature=related

These are the role models that Alan Colmes had for what is acceptable behavior among liberals. No wonder he just “learned” from them. You can see exactly what he said on national television here.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/01/02/alan_colmes_mocks... I am sure, judging by his demeanor, that Alan Colmes believes he did nothing wrong. He apologized because it was forced on him – as a resignation or firing may be forced on him very soon. Frankly, who among us would have thought we’d see such vileness on a national television network?

At the 1992 Democratic National Convention, Al Gore talked about his son being in a automobile accident, how he cradled the boy in his arms. Four years later at the Convention, he would talk about his sister’s death from cancer. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-799438.html He did so without any fear that conservative commentators would call him “weird” or the New York Times calling him “ghoulish.”

Judson Philips said he couldn’t figure these liberals out. I can’t really either, but my best guess is that they consider people across the political aisle as vermin – untermenchen, subhuman, as the Nazis called non-Aryans. It is just that nowadays they no longer feel ashamed to say it in the open. If one is raised to think that there is no one or no thing higher than oneself, than one begins to think one is a God. Look at Colmes smug face in the video: here is clearly a man at peace with his religious values – because he worships himself.

How a Stimulus Package Works

2012-01-02T20:32:00.001-05:00

THE $100 Bill

It's a slow day in the small town of Salem, NH and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
(Stay with this.....and pay attention)
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.
The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel Owner.
(Almost done...keep reading)

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

1. No one produced anything.

2. No one earned anything.

3. However, the whole town now thinks that they are out of debt

and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee.
And that, my friends, is how a "stimulus package" works!

Obama’s TSA Thugs

2011-12-27T14:30:00.001-05:00

When you really need to make air travel inconvenient, you need the clowns at TSA. When you need to ignore real threats, like young men from Muslim countries in favor of strip-searching 90-year-old women, you need the TSA.

But now, the TSA has gone from being the butt of jokes and the source of inconvenience to an organization of jackbooted thugs.

What has happened?

No, it is not the Viper Teams they are sending out to expand their reach and make America look ever more like a police state.

Over the holidays, the TSA decided to make a point and it destroyed luggage belonging to Todd Starnes of Fox News. Todd is an anchor on Fox News radio and a blogger. He is one of their best talents.

Todd posted photos and tweets about what happened on his twitter feed (@toddstarnes).

To make the story as short as possible, Todd was traveling with his luggage, which had a Fox News logo on it. The TSA ripped the logo off of his luggage, then sliced his luggage open, sealing it with tape that said, “Inspected. Transportation Security Administration.”

Gee, I wonder how many bombs slipped through security while the TSA goons were vandalizing Todd’s luggage?

Why did the TSA goon vandalize Todd’s luggage? Well, the obvious answer is because he does not like Fox News. The less obvious answer is because he thought he could.

The TSA thug thought he could send a message and his union and his employer would make certain he was protected.

Last night, Todd said, “TSA says it could take up to 6 months to investigate my bag they destroyed.”

Todd, let me give you some free legal advice. This was not a bureaucratic screw up. This was not a case of bad service or even an accident. You were the victim of a crime. At the very least you were the victim of a violation of your civil rights. There was also vandalism to your personal property.

Forget the TSA; file a criminal complaint with the FBI. I would also file a criminal complaint with the local authorities where your bag was inspected.

The news reports do not say where he flew out of and where the bag would have been inspected. In Tennessee, where I am licensed to practice law and where I spent 10 years as a prosecuting attorney, that vandalism would almost certainly be a felony. There are a couple of other felony charges that would be applicable too.

Even if Todd does not file criminal charges, the FBI and federal authorities should look into this as a criminal matter. I would hope they would but given the corrupt nature of the Obama regime, I doubt it.

One other thing that should happen is that our Congressmen and Senators should pull themselves away from having clueless celebrities come to Capitol Hill for hearings and instead schedule a hearing on what happened to Todd Starnes’ luggage and other TSA abuses.

In the meantime, we all need to very concerned about what is happening in this country. The TSA becomes more aggressive in attacking Americans, and yet does little to advance the goal for which it was created, namely making travel safe.

Republican candidates have named the agencies they would like to see dismantled if they become President. The TSA should rise to the top of that list.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps,
homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.
--We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC, CNN and Hollywood .

--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain.

--You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen,
Barbara Streisand, & ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.

P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Hawaii Five NO

Hawaii Five No

Posted by Judson Phillips on December 13, 2011 at 7:35am in Tea Party Nation Forum

There is a controversy surrounding the filming for the popular TV show Hawaii Five-O. Ordinarily most people in the Tea Party movement do not care about what goes on in the entertainment industry. This controversy is one that does merit our attention.

What is it?

Last week, a special group of Americans made a trip to Hawaii. This was not their first trip to Hawaii. In fact, the first time all of these men were together in Hawaii was on December 7^th, 1941.

Last week, these men and some of their families were back in Hawaii again for the 70^th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Today, less than ten percent of those who served during World War II are still alive.

For the men who made this trip, there was also another tacit acknowledgement. This would be their last trip. The average age of a Pearl Harbor is in the early nineties. In fact, there are now so few Pearl Harbor survivors left that the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association is disbanding at the end of the month.

On December 9^th, 24 Pacific veterans, including 23 Pearl Harbor survivors were taken to the National Cemetery of the Pacific for a memorial ceremony honoring those who fell during the attack on Pearl Harbor and those who fell during the Pacific campaign.

While the men were at the cemetery, the TV show Hawaii Five-O was filming at the cemetery. As the National Anthem was played and the ceremony went on, the CBS production crew was filming. At first they told the veterans and their families to hush, then repeatedly pushed them back and finally told them to hurry up. As the veterans were laying roses on the graves of their fallen comrades, a production employee walked through the middle of the ceremony telling them to hurry up.

Perhaps the ultimate insult came at the end, when someone with the veterans group asked if one of the cast members of Hawaii Five-O could come over and say hello to the group. The production crew refused.

These World War II vets are a tough bunch. They went through the first depression and then the Second World War. I can guarantee you they did not let this incident ruin their trip, though some of their family members might feel differently.

Unfortunately, the attitude shown by the production crew is far too common in the entertainment industry.

We all owe those men and women who served in the Second World War a debt we cannot repay.

World War II veterans are rapidly leaving us. My father served in Europe under General George Patton. He passed away in 2008. Both of my uncles served in the Navy in World War II. They are both gone as well.

CBS has issued a carefully nuanced statement claiming they would look into the incident and throwing out some boilerplate language about how they respect the veterans of World War II

Those 24 veterans will never go back to the place that changed their lives and changed history again. By the time December 7, 2012 comes around, age will have claimed even more of them. If CBS were really sorry, it would be nice of them to do something other than issue a meaningless statement.

If CBS is really sorry, perhaps they can come up with something more appropriate to show respect for some men who helped save this country. If CBS is going to do something, do it quickly, while these men are still here to appreciate it.

I will also very cheerfully wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS! (not... happy holidays). By the way, if you want to have a Happy Hanukah , by all means do, I respect that. If you want to have a Blessed Kwanzaa, I also respect that. I want to have a Merry Christmas, so I ask YOU to respect that!

Liberal California

2011-12-03T09:24:00.001-05:00

Remind a liberal that California used to be a reliable Republican state.

It voted Republican in every presidential election from 1952 to 1992 with only one exception (1964). Remind a liberal further that in those days, California was renowned for having some of the most right-wing voting districts in the country (in Southern California's Orange County); and remind the liberal even further that in those days California was equally renowned for its prosperity. Since 1992, the state has been overwhelmingly Democrat, and — while flooded with illegal immigrants — native Californians have been fleeing to other states, and the economy has gone down the toilet. Is that all just a coincidence?

TV worth watching

2011-11-28T10:09:00.001-05:00

TV worth watching

There is very little on TV that is worth watching. In 1961, FCC Chairman Newton Minnow called television programming a “vast wasteland.” Not much has changed. From the reality TV freak shows to the mindless sitcoms, ninety five percent of TV can be ignored and it is no great loss.

However, there are a couple of things on TV that are worth watching, including one that is hidden on of all things a minor channel that is owned by NBC.

What is it?

It is a show called Bomb Patrol Afghanistan.

I discovered this show yesterday. After watching my hometown Titans pull one out from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I flipped over to the other game, which was the Patriots against the Eagles. That game quickly turned into a blow up and during the commercial breaks I started flipping around and came across Bomb Patrol Afghanistan.

After that, the football game was history.

Bomb Patrol Afghanistan is a reality TV show that centers on Navy EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) unit 342, which is in Afghanistan. They are divided into two three-man teams and their mission is to go out into Afghanistan and disarm the various types of bombs the Taliban use against American forces.

The show follows the sailors as they are on their deployment to Afghanistan. There are the funny moments, as the men play practical jokes on each other or blow off some steam by having robot races. There are tense moments, such as when one of the teams discovers they have stopped their vehicle right on top of a large bomb and someone needs to figure out what to do about it before the bomb kills them. There are moments that remind us the men are not just sailors but men with lives and homes. At one moment, a grizzled Petty Officer talks about his blanket. His father gave it to him and he has taken it on all four of his deployments.

Then there are the moments where the reality of war is brought home. The sailors attend a memorial service for a fallen soldier as his body is sent on the final journey home.

Beneath all of that is the message through out the show. We are the good guys and the Taliban are the bad guys.

The fact that we have a TV show that shows total support for our guys over in Afghanistan is refreshing. The fact that it is being shown on a network that is owned by NBC is almost shocking.

During World War 2, the entertainment industry supported the war effort. However, since then Hollywood has given us a pretty steady stream of anti-American propaganda. It is amazing, even ten years after 9/11 some in Hollywood still cheer for our enemies.

During World War 2, Frank Capra made an amazing series of films called, “Why We Fight.” It explained to our soldiers and our nation why we were at war. Bomb Patrol Afghanistan is no “Why We Fight,” but it is a powerful story of Americans serving their country.

I have always been amazed the George W. Bush did not try to get some of the few conservatives in Hollywood to make a version of “Why We Fight” after 9/11. Perhaps if he had, we might have countered much of the liberal media and might have been able to win in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That opportunity is gone now. The only film Barack Obama would make would be called, “Why we surrender.”

If you have a chance to catch Bomb Patrol Afghanistan, it is very much worth watching.

And for the men of Navy EOD Unit 342, well done.

Occupy Wall Street–Hit’s New Low

2011-11-17T22:07:00.001-05:00

The Occupy mob is pretty much a bunch of loser, but today they took they managed to hit a new low. The latest target of the Occupy mob is children.

From CBS:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — They were caught in the middle of madness.

Some grade school students were forced to walk a gauntlet of screaming “Occupy Wall Street” protesters just to get to school on Thursday.

It was a wild day in lower Manhattan for most everyone involved, including elementary school children who had to brave the mayhem just to get to class on the other side of Wall Street.

In the middle of thousands of protestors yelling and chanting — some kicking and screaming – CBS 2’s Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted “follow those kids!”

“These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids,” one father said. “For them it’s horrible. They’re afraid of all the crowds. We’re not even able to get through. They’re just, he’s … very afraid now,” a mother added.

Of course, the mob has no respect for anyone else’s rights and generally wants to make life as miserable for everyone who, well, everyone who has a job.

From Yahoo:

Hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators blocked a downtown Los Angeles street on Thursday, snarling traffic on surrounding freeways before police moved in to make arrests and break up the rally.

Protesters first marched through the Los Angeles financial district, chanting "Occupy the Freeways, Occupy the U.S.A.", and then a small group stood in a circle and held hands on a major downtown street, blocking it, before police advanced.

At least 26 protesters were arrested in the city in separate marches and rallies, and arrests appeared to be underway at a Bank of America branch in downtown Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles march came as cities across the country have taken police action in recent days to dismantle protest camps set up as part of the Occupy movement against economic inequality and excesses of the financial system.

The march also coincided with a planned day of action that saw hundreds of people take to the streets of several U.S. cities, including New York where at least 177 people were arrested, in rallies seen as a test of momentum of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Across America, hundreds of people were arrested today in violent protests. That is hundreds more than have been arrested at Tea Party rallies. In New York, at least one police officer was slashed and another suffered an eye injury.

While I am not a Karl Rove fan, occasionally you have to give him a little credit and he nailed it today. A speech he made today was disrupted by the Occupy mob. Instead of sitting there and taking it, he fired back.

Rove told the disrupters, “If you don’t have the courage to stand here and then ask a question, you’re just showing your moral cowardice. Do not be so arrogant and presumptive to think that you’re the only person who has a First Amendment right that needs to be heard. Who gave you the right to occupy America? Nobody.”

For once, good for Karl Rove.

Posted by Staff

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Records show she twice has filed for personal bankruptcy, first in 1991 and then again in 2001. In the latter case, she claimed $5,700 in assets and more than $36,000 in liabilities. Among the creditors seeking payment was a management firm demanding back rent of $4,500, four credit card companies and a lawyer asking for his legal fees.
After the case was discharged, she accused a former boyfriend of harassing her for repayment of a loan, court records in the bankruptcy case show. Bialek borrowed $4,500 from William Concha, though Concha now believes she had no intention of paying him back, according to his brother, Mario.

A Cain's accuser uses the Salem Witch Trial Standard

Posted by Jack Kemp on November 4, 2011 at 11:30pm

Jack E. Kemp
CNN released a statement from one Herman Cain's accusers that defies normal analysis because there are no names and no details. One could call it Etherial Charges.
Let me attempt to parse the first section of this article,
http://www.news4jax.com/election-2012/Lawyer-Cain-accuser-sees-no-v...; paragraph by paragraph.
QUOTE
One of the women who accused Republican presidential contender Herman Cain of sexual harassment released a statement through her lawyer Friday saying that she "stands by" her complaint, which was made "in good faith about a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances."
END
"One of the women" who wishes to remain anonymous yet refuses to face her accuser in a public forum. She "stands by her complaint?" Then what is her complaint? Did Herman Cain tell inapropriate jokes? Did he touch her? What did he do that was "inappropriate?" Enquiring minds want to know.
QUOTE
There was "more than one incident" of harassment involving Cain and his client over the span of a couple of months in 1999, attorney Joel Bennett said.
END
This essentially repeats what the previous paragraph said in the same vague language while adding no new facts.
QUOTE
Bennett said his client, married for 26 years, will not reveal her identity because "she and her husband see no value in revisiting this matter now nor in discussing the matter any further publicly or privately."
END
Let me translate this into English: She doesn't want to have to be cross examined by an attorney, particularly for inconsistencies in her story. She also doesn't want her past behavior elsewhere brought up in the press. Period. No value in discussing this now? Then why is this woman having an attorney discuss this in the media? It must have some value for her, perhaps of a political nature. She is - either de facto or de jure - putting a cloud over Mr. Cain's reputation and his run for the Presidential nomination.
QUOTE
"In fact," he added, "it would be extremely painful for her to do so."
END
I'm sure Mr. Cain and his wife find the anonymous accusations with no details somewhat painful, as does his campaign, despite the increase in funds raised in response to them. The only pain this woman is interested in is Mr. Cain's - and in increasing it by her nebulous actions. Of course, if this is a "he-said, she-said" story with no proof, she might get sued - and lose. And THAT would be pain she would be concerned about.
SECTION OMITTED
QUOTE
Sweeney said the association is prepared to fully release Bennett's client from her confidentiality agreement in the event she wants to disclose additional details.
END
This means that the woman making these vague charges and has the power to end the ambiguity by releasing the details of what she said years ago to the NRA.
Being made to feel pain and discomfort could cover a lot of things if one doesn't have to be specific about one's charges. It could be anything from having to walk barefoot on hot sand on a municipal beach to having to stand while on public transportation during rush hour. I'm not trying to dismiss the accuser of Herman Cain out of hand. But for her charges to be taken seriously by the public, she has to supply details, documentation and/or witnesses.
Subjective emotional upset, even if quite true, is a starting point for an accusation, but not an end point (i.e., not a civil or criminal act) in and of itself.
In the Salem witch trials, young women said they were agitated by the presence of alleged witches who put a spell on them. And, ironically one of the male defendants who pleaded "not guilty" had a heavy load of stones pressed upon his body to force a confession. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials#Formal_prosecution:...
The press now is forcing itself down on Herman Cain based on the same low level proof earlier defendants had in
late 1600s New England.
Herman Cain's campaign is still very much alive because millions of Americans believe this collection of media charges against him is as empty as the Heraldo Rivera-hyped contents of Al Capone's safe. Please prove me wrong and open the safe and show me some proof, Mainstream Media. I'm waiting.

Liberals and Racism

2011-11-05T11:41:00.001-05:00

Cain Backing From Right Spoils Story Line Of Left

By ANN COULTER Posted 11/03/2011 05:25 PM ET

By spending the last three decades leveling accusations of "racism" every 10 seconds, liberals have made it virtually impossible for Americans to recognize real racism — for example, the racism constantly spewed at black conservatives.

In the last year alone, a short list of the things liberals have labeled "racist" include:

• Being a Republican.

• Joining the Tea Party.

• The word "the" (Donald Trump's statement that he has a "great relationship with the blacks").

• References to Barack Obama's playing basketball (Trump again).

• Using Obama's middle name.

• Scott Brown's pickup truck.

• Opposing ObamaCare.

• Opposing Obama's stimulus bill.

• Opposing Obama's jobs bill.

The surge in conservative support for Herman Cain confuses the Democrats' story line, which is that Republicans hate Obama because he's black.

Cain is twice as black as Obama. (Possible Obama campaign slogan: "Too Black!")

This is why the liberal website Politico ran with a story on Cain that had everything — a powerful black man, a Republican presidential candidate, the hint of sexuality — except facts.

All we learned was: About a decade ago, as many as two anonymous women accused Cain of making unspecified "inappropriate" remarks and one "inappropriate" gesture in the workplace. (We had more than that on John Edwards' mistress a year into the media's refusal to report that story.)

If the details helped liberals, we'd have the details.

To have been accused of sexual harassment in the 1990s is like having been accused of molesting children at preschools in the 1980s or accused of being a witch in Massachusetts in the 1690s.

In the 1990s, one plaintiff won a $50 million jury verdict against Wal-Mart on the grounds that a "hostile environment" was created by her supervisor's yelling at both male and female employees.

In another case, a plaintiff won a $250,000 award for sexual harassment based on her complaint that a male colleague had reached for a pastry saying, "Nothing I like more in the morning than sticky buns," while "wriggl(ing)" his eyebrows.

It got so crazy that a 6-year-old boy was suspended from class for a day for kissing a classmate on the cheek, and a Goya painting had to be removed from a Penn State classroom because a professor complained that it constituted sexual harassment.

With no standard other than the subjective offense taken by the accuser, absolutely anyone could be called a witch, i.e., a sexual harasser. So it's striking that the only two conservative public figures accused of being witches both happened to be conservative blacks: Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain.

Liberals go straight to ugly racist stereotypes when attacking conservative blacks, calling them oversexualized, stupid and/or incompetent.

The late, lamented, white liberal reporter Mary McGrory called Justice Antonin Scalia "a brilliant and compelling extremist" — while dismissing Thomas as "Scalia's puppet."

More recently, Democratic Sen. Harry Reid called Scalia "one smart guy." In the next breath, he proclaimed Thomas "an embarrassment to the Supreme Court," adding, "I think that his opinions are poorly written."

When Bush made Condoleezza Rice the first black female secretary of state, terror swept through the Democratic Party. What if people began to notice and ask questions: "Who's that black woman always standing with George Bush?" Never mind! He's probably arresting her.

In addition to an explosion of racist cartoons portraying Rice as Aunt Jemima, Butterfly McQueen from "Gone With the Wind," a fat-lipped Bush parrot and other racist cliches, allegedly respectable liberals promptly called her stupid and incompetent.

Joseph Cirincione, then with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said Rice "doesn't bring much experience or knowledge of the world to this position." (Unlike Hillary Clinton, whose experience for the job consisted of being married to an impeached, disbarred former president.)

Democratic consultant Bob Beckel — who ran Walter Mondale's 1984 campaign so competently that Mondale lost 49 states — said of Rice, "I don't think she's up to the job."

When Michael Steele ran for senator in Maryland in 2006, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee dug up a copy of his credit report — something done to no other Republican candidate. He was depicted in black face with huge red lips by liberal blogger Steve Gilliard. Oreo cookies were rolled down the aisle at Steele during a gubernatorial debate in 2002.

Trafficking in racist imagery is consequence-free for liberals because they have ruined charges of "racism" with their own overuse of the term. By now, any accusation of racism has the feel of a Big Foot sighting.

It's a neat trick, rather as if the Nazis had called everything "genocide" right before launching the Holocaust, and then admonished resisters not to "play the genocide card."

Liberals step on black conservatives early and often because they can't have black children thinking, "Hmmm, the Republicans have some good ideas; maybe I'm a Republican."

The basic setup is:

Step 1: Spend 30 years telling blacks that Republicans are racist and viciously attacking all black Republicans.

Step 2: Laugh maliciously at Republicans for not having more blacks in their party.

It is beyond insane that Herman Cain would have considered running for president if he had the tiniest skeleton in his closet. To be an out-of-the-closet black Republican, you had better be a combination rocket scientist/Baptist preacher. Which, as it happens, Cain is.

Meanwhile, MSNBC is cutting into its prime-time programming to announce updates in the fact-free hit on Cain. That's not because anyone there thinks he'll be the nominee. Everyone knows it's going to be Mitt Romney.

But liberals are determined to make sure that, six months from now, everyone has forgotten Herman Cain so they can go back to claiming Republicans oppose Obama because they hate blacks.

He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.

Here’s his bio:

Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
Master’s degree in Computer Science.
Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).

All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.

Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!

Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—

STACK THAT UP AGAINST THE 'COMMUNITY ORGANIZER'....

Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

Holder sues SC over immigration reform
Posted by Staff

The Obama administration has boosted its efforts to bar state-level enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws by suing South Carolina over its new immigration reform law.
The Monday announcement by the Department of Justice follows the news that the Department of Homeland Security has quietly canceled long-standing checks of transportation hubs for illegal immigrants.

Obama Admin targets Catholic grants due to Church's moral stance
Posted by Staff

A contentious battle between Catholic groups and the Obama administration has flared in recent days, fueled by the new health-care law and ongoing divisions over access to abortion and birth control.
The latest dispute centers on a decision by the Department of Health and Human Services in late September to end funding to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to help victims of human trafficking, or modern-day slavery. The church group had overseen nationwide services to victims since 2006 but was denied a new grant in favor of three other groups.

Liberal Double Standards

2011-11-01T07:57:00.001-05:00

As Ann Coulter says, funny, isn't it, how liberals want everything they dis-approve of banned (smoking, guns, practicing Christianity, ROTC, the Pledge of Allegiance) and whatever they approve of (abortion-on- demand, gay marriage, pornography, condom distribution in public schools, screenings of An Inconvenient Truth) made mandatory.

Obama lied, the economy died

2011-10-31T08:51:00.001-05:00

Obama lied, the economy died

This may come as a shock to people, but Obama lies. After all, he is a politician isn’t he? Obama lies brazenly. If the drive by media were not in the tank for Obama, he would get called on his lies much more often.

What is his latest, possibly most outrageous lie?

Obama claimed that in the last three decades, the middle class has lost ground. Obama claimed that this is because the rich keep getting richer. From 1979 to 2007, those in the top 1% did very well.

The middle class did not do too badly either, through 2007. After tax income for middle class Americans from 1979 to 2007 rose 65%. That’s not too bad. The middle class is defined as those in the income break down that fall between the 21^st and the 80^th percentile. Even those in the bottom 20% saw their income rise during the same period by 18%.

What changed in 2007 that made the middle class stop growing and opened the door for the middle class to start sliding backwards? It was the Democratic takeover of Congress.

Since the Democrats have taken over Congress and later the White House, income in the middle class has fallen. Unemployment rates among the middle class have risen considerably.

The Congressional Budget Office details the prosperity that occurred for the middle class from 1979 through 2007. So what happened?

Economic disaster is what happens when you let liberals control government. Obama wants us to forget our history and believe the middle class has been going down the tubes since the days of Ronald Reagan.

Memo to Obama. Jimmy Carter tanked the economy. Reagan brought it back. Clinton would have tanked the economy but two years into his administration, America had the good sense to put Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives and Speaker Newt Gingrich and the House gave Clinton little choice about putting America’s house in order.

There are several things to be disturbed about with Obama’s blatant lies. First, is the fact the thinks he can get away with those lies. So much of the drive by media is no longer a free media but little more than a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party. The Washington Post and New York Times spend more time defending the Obama regime and investigating critics than they do investigating the Obama regime.

CBS has been working on a story on the Fast and Furious operation that Attorney General Eric Holder has been stonewalling and earlier this month allegations were raised that CBS was muzzling its own reporter who was digging into the story.

There is one aspect of this that no one talks about. Why do we not have a real adversarial media? We have adversarial media when there is a Republican in the White House, but that is not what I mean by an adversarial media. If you check down the list, we have an overwhelmingly liberal media. The New York Times and Washington Post are both on the same sheet of music. So are CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, MSNBC and the rest. Fox is not conservative, but merely fair and balanced.

Where is an adversarial press? An adversarial press is a press that is adversarial against each other. Half the media should be conservative. Instead we have 90% of the media that is far left and only a few cases of media that are right of center. The Washington Times is right of center. The Drudge Report is given credit for being right of center. Breitbart, WND and Newsmax are right of center. After that, you run out very quickly.

If we had a real adversarial media, Obama would not lie with impunity. If we had a real adversarial media, scandals like Fast and Furious and the cover-up would not be mostly ignored. If we had a real adversarial media, Obama probably never would have made it to the White House.

ACORN playing a behind-the-scenes role in Occupy protests
Posted by Staff

Fox News reports:
The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities, sources tell FoxNews.com.
The former director of New York ACORN, Jon Kest, and his top aides are now busy working at protest events for New York Communities for Change (NYCC). That organization was created in late 2009 when some ACORN offices disbanded and reorganized under new names after undercover video exposes prompted Congress to cut off federal funds.

OWS Irony

Take from the Brutally Honest Email

Oh the irony

The OWS crowd, big time believers in the redistribution of wealth, are upset that some amongst them are taking that belief to heart:

Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops -- and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.

“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.

“I had my Mac stolen -- that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”

Crafty cat burglars sneaked into the makeshift kitchen at Zuccotti Park overnight and swiped as much as $2,500 in donated greenbacks from right under the noses of volunteers who’d fallen asleep after a long day whipping up meals for the hundreds of hungry protesters, the volunteers said.

“The worst thing is there’s people sleeping in the kitchen when they come, and they don’t even know about it! There are some really smart and sneaky thieves here,” Terrie said.

“I had umbrellas stolen, a fold-up bed I brought because my back is bad -- they took that, too!”

Security volunteer Harry Wyman, 22, of Brooklyn was furious about the thievery -- and vowed to get tough with the predatory perps.

“I’m not getting paid, but I’m not gonna stand for it. Why people got to come here and do stupid stuff? All it does is make people not wanna come here anymore,” Wyman fumed.

So those who believe in the theory of redistribution aren't too crazy about the application of that belief.

Ha!

Friggin' idiots.

Chevy Electric Car

2011-10-14T22:16:00.001-05:00

Meet the Roberts electric car. Built in 1896, it gets a solid 40 miles to the charge — exactly the mileage Chevrolet advertises for the Volt — the much-touted $31,645 electric car General Motors CEO Dan Akerson called “not a step forward, but a leap forward.”

The executives at Chevrolet can rest easy for now. Since the Roberts was constructed in an age before Henry Ford’s mass production, the 115-year-old electric car is one of a kind.

But don’t let the car’s 115 years let you think it isn’t tough: It’s present-day owner, who prefers not to be named, told The Daily Caller it still runs like a charm, and has even completed the roughly 60-mile London to Brighton Vintage Car Race.

Mortgage Disaster

2011-10-11T08:37:00.001-05:00

Never let liberals forget that the sub-prime mortgage disaster was Bill Clinton's fault. In 1995 President Clinton's changes to the Community Reinvestment Act enabled ACORN to run a politically correct extortion campaign against mortgage lenders, compelling them by force of law to make unsound (sub-prime) loans to poor minorities who never stood a hope of repaying them.

Right. So isn't it about time those self hating white liberals out there, who think we should feel guilty about our achievements, drop our cultural standards, and celebrate "the other," either kept quiet or put their money where their mouth is and moved to one of those places whose vibrancy they so admire. The Congo, maybe; or Somalia; or Turkmenistan.

Democrat: the Lawyers Party

2011-10-09T08:26:00.001-05:00

Subject: The Lawyers Party…..

This is very interesting! I never thought about it this way.

The Lawyers' Party

By Bruce Walker

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party.

Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer.

Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.

Every Democrat presedential nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate). Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.

Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.

The Republican Party is different.

President Bush is a businessman. Former Vice President Cheney is a businessman.

Newt Gingrich was a history professor.

Tom Delay was an exterminator.

Dick Armey was an economist.

House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.

The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.

Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.

When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming.

Some Americans become adverse parties of our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.

Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.

The United States has 5% of the worlds population and 66% of the worlds lawyers!

Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits.

This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

Liberal Tea Party?

2011-10-04T10:25:00.001-05:00

Not getting it.

Posted by Judson Phillips on October 4, 2011 at 7:04am in Tea Party Nation Forum

The left does not understand the Tea Party. Ignoring the fact they want to destroy us, they do want to understand us. They believe if they can figure out our model, they can have a liberal “Tea Party.” There is one leftist who has been pushing this idea.

Who is it?

Van Jones.

Ever since Van Jones left his White House job, he has been obsessed with launching a leftist version of the Tea Party. It is no great surprise that he has not been able to launch one.

Will Van Jones ever be able to figure it out?

Probably not. After all, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

See his video on the subject here.

Why is the Tea Party successful?

It is simple. Unlike the left, the Tea Party is essentially a positive movement. The Tea Party movement began with outrage over the out of control spending by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis of fiscal evil. The motivation of the Americans who poured out into the streets was different.

While the left wants to tear down and destroy all that is good in America, and replace it with an ideology if evil, the Tea Party movement is based on love. Real Americans love their country and their neighbors. The Tea Party is not motivated by hatred as the left is.

The Tea Party movement’s secret is our people and our goals. The people want to see America restored as the greatest country in the world. The members of the Tea Party love America’s ideals. We believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The way we treat our neighbors is perhaps the greatest example. The police do not show up to arrest Tea Party members at our rallies. At Tea Party rallies, we do not riot, nor do we destroy property. In fact, at every rally I have been involved in, we have made it a point to leave the grounds cleaner than when we arrived. Compare that to any number of liberal events, including Obama’s inauguration.

The Tea Party is a movement that has had unprecedented success and the left is frustrated, not only because we are so successful but because they have not been able to create a “liberal Tea Party.”

Now Van Jones talks about wanting to “steal our playbook.”

Well, Van, you don’t have to steal our playbook. I’ll tell you what it is.

The secrets of the Tea Party playbook are we love America and we love our fellow Americans.

We see America as the great shinning city on the hill. We see America as an inherently good place. America is the nation that has done the most good for the most people than any other nation in the history of mankind.

The other part of our playbook is that Tea Party members love their neighbors as themselves. (I wonder if Van Jones can figure out where that principle comes from?) When you go to a Tea Party event, you do not see people trying to fight with anyone. We want the best for our family, our friends and our neighbors. And we are very willing to jump in and help them. There is a reason why charitable giving in Red States far exceeds that in Blue States. Tea Party members want to see everyone prosperous and happy.

The socialism that Van Jones pushes is just the opposite. It wants to destroy this country and replace it with a model that has failed time and time again and instead of allowing everyone the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, his model wants to pull everyone down to the same level of misery. His model wants to create dependency, which kills the opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

If Van Jones wants to create a Tea Party, he can do it. It is very simple. Just adopt our core beliefs. Although the day he adopts those core beliefs is the day he will become a conservative.

Of course, when that happens, there will still be no liberal Tea Party.

Monday Night Football–NO MORE!

2011-10-04T08:37:00.001-05:00

No Hank, no Monday Night Football,

ESPN, owned by far left leaning Disney struck back at Hank Williams today, taking his trademark, “Are you ready for some football?” song off fo the opening of Monday night football.

Why? Williams dared to insult Disney darling Obama.

From the Daily Caller:

The name Hank Williams, Jr. isn’t usual associated with political insight and expert analysis of current events. But the “Are you ready for some football?” singer has some strong political views, and he shared them on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. Among other things, he compared the president to Adolph Hitler.

Williams said Monday morning that a pivotal moment for him was the so-called golf summit in June between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner.

“You remember the golf game they had, ladies and gentlemen? Remember the golf game? That was one of the biggest political mistakes ever,” Williams said. “That turned a lot of people off. It just didn’t go over.”

“Come on, come on,” the country performer continued. “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, OK? Not hardly. In the country this shape it’s in, the shape this country is in, I mean, no, I don’t think so.”

Host Brian Kilmeade said he didn’t understand that analogy, but Williams insisted that others would.

“Well, I’m glad you don’t, brother, because a lot of people do,” he said. “They’re the enemy” – meaning Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Earlier this year, ESPN reprimanded Golf commentator Paul Azinger for an anti-Obama tweet.

From USA Today in August:

UPDATE: ESPN is coming down on Paul Azinger for mocking President Obama on Twitter. The golf analyst tweeted Thursday the commander in chief plays more golf than he does -- and that Azinger has created more jobs this month than Obama has.

Of course ESPN has no problem when far left leaning Kenny Mayne tweeted this jewel:

Of course since it is hate directed towards a conservative, nothing happened to Mayne.

As much as I love sports, I have just about had it with ESPN. Until Hank Williams is brought back to sing the intro to MNF, I won’t watch it and I encourage everyone else to turn off MNF.

Hank Williams, Jr. is rumored to be thinking about running for the US Senate in Tennessee. As a Tennessean, all I can say is, “Run Hank Run!”

Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."* Amen.

Divorce Agreement

DIVORCE AGREEMENT

Since we are not going to get gasoline back to $1.50 per gallon and coffee to $2.00 per pound maybe this would be a solution we could live with.
DIVORCE AGREEMENT -- This is so incredibly well-put, and I can hardly believe it's by a young person, a student!! A law student yet.

* * * * * * * * * *
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et. al.:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides had such distinct and disparate tastes.
2. We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
3. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
4. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
6. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, WalMart, and Wall Street.
8. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
9. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, and rednecks, you can keep the bailout ceo's, wallstreet manipulators, and check-cashing outlet thieves.
10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
11. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLain. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
15. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and sensible cars.
16. You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.

17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
18. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
19. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the World".
20. We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
21. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Apparently, Mr. Freeman believes that President Obama should have been left alone. Left alone to do as he damn well pleases and anyone who doesn't accept that is well... a racist.

Not surprising really once you consider the man, the thinking and the allegations. Those like Morgan Freeman who support such institutionalized thinking, have little else to support their positions. They are not critical thinkers and they do not possess the ability to think objectively. In their small minded world, politics is a simple equation.
Everything is Bush's fault, those criticizing Barack Obama are racist and all Republicans and most white people are inherently evil racists bent on depriving the black race of what is rightfully theirs.

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

Obama’s Liberal Media Believes Palin/Tea Party Supporters Toothless Racists

2011-09-12T08:45:00.001-05:00

Sarah Palin inspired her typical extraordinary level of excitement and attendance at our Tea Party Express V national bus tour rally in Manchester, NH. I overheard a national reporter commenting to two of our staff members, “Yeah, Palin draws a crowd but they are all missing teeth.”

I was furious! I wanted to say, “How dare you? You arrogant jerk!” I held my tongue as a representative of Tea Party Express.

After attending over 200 tea parties on six national bus tours, I can assure you the majority of the attendees are extremely well informed, educated, articulate and patriotic Americans. They are not stupid rednecks as the reporter's comment implied. Unfortunately, the snobby reporter's view of the tea party is shared by the liberal Obama sycophant media.

At our Tea Party Express rally in Providence, RI, a former Marine and his adult son stood in the rain and wept along with others as I sang “God Bless the USA”. We embraced as brothers in our love for the greatest nation on the planet. Feeling the warmth which filled the air as I sang, I commented to the audience, “Does this feel like hate to you?”

And yet, the Congressional Black Caucus claimed these same Tea Party patriots desire to see me, a black man, “hung from a tree”.

So, the consensus of the left and liberal media is the Tea Party is white ignorant violent racists. Their strategic branding of the Tea Party is designed to justify the Obama administration's vitriolic language which include threats of violence.

Jimmy Hoffa referring to the Tea Party sent out his union thug clarion call to “take the sons of b***** out!” Decent hard working American Tea Party activists are now fearful for their lives.

My dad says while a snake can swim under water like a fish for a very long time, eventually it must come up for air because it is not a fish. It is a snake.

Obama pretends to be a president. But when pressured, the real Obama comes up for air revealing himself to be a community organizer; a rabble-rousing promoter of entitlements and class envy willfully dividing Americans along racial lines. Obama and his minions are evil.

We have seen Obama in numerous cowboy movies. Obama is the loud mouth guy standing on the steps of the jail-house yelling at the crowd. He works the crowd into a frenzy causing them to overrule the sheriff and the law, drag out the prisoner and hang him without a trial.

Since the beginning of his presidency, on numerous occasions, our community-organizer-in -chief has worked his minions into a frenzy to punish white police, banks, Wall Street, corporate CEOs, private jet owners, Arizonians, insurance companies, doctors, the rich, and anyone opposing Obamacare.

As testimony to the effectiveness of the Tea Party, Obama has instructed his minions, Congressional Black Caucus and unions to escalate their slander and level of vitriol which now includes threat of violence. The left has set aside September 17^th as their National Day of Rage. Lord knows what evil they have scheduled. The left has created a violent hate-filled game titled, “Tea Party Zombies Must Die”. www.teapartyzombiesmustdie.com

Meanwhile, the liberal media appears tone deaf to the lies, hate, anger and violence coming from the left. When Obama instructed his minions to “push back twice as hard” against those who opposed Obamacare, black conservative Kenneth Gladney was beaten and sent to the emergency room by SEIU thugs. Clearly, Obama's new enforcers are misinformed flash mobs of black youths attacking whites across America.

And who does the liberal media promote as being ignorant, extreme and dangerous? The Tea Party.

Liberal Democrat Civility

2011-09-07T10:28:00.001-05:00

DNC chair Debbie Wasserman makes it pretty clear that she has absolutely no intention of answering the question or addressing what was said by Jimmy Hoffa Jr. as a lead in speaker to President Obama's labor day rally speech in Michigan this weekend.

And she makes it perfectly clear that she isn't going to "focus on the language."

So this is the civility that this administration and their minions have repeatedly attempted to refocus their opposition to? Yet no sooner than they speak of civility and call for common decency in discourse, they are right back to their old Saul Alinsky playbook of demonizing their opposition at the first opportunity. After which, they want to stand there blank faced and annoyed that anyone might actually take notice of their hypocrisy.

Or worse, that others might actually take exception to it.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In light of yesterday's Jimmy Hoffa Jr. post, I thought this from Small Dead Animals would be good to link to:

Aug 11, 2009: President Obama calls for civility in the health care debate.

Feb 4, 2010: President Obama calls for civility at National Prayer Breakfast.

Jan 12, 2011: President Obama calls for civility after Tucson shooting.

And this from the same source:

Immediately after Hoffa threatened his fellow Americans, Obama had the opportunity to encourage him to strive for civility. He did not. Instead, he included him in a list of folks he's "proud" of. h/t Marc in Calgary.

Obama isn't who they told us he was... he is who we told you he was.

Questions for WE Christians

2011-09-04T20:53:00.001-05:00

Christians go to great lengths to work in food kitchens, help out in disaster areas rebuiling or cleaning or in some way helping out the victims. Christians even go to 3^rd world countries and volunteer as missionaries to help those folks out.

BUT why is it that Christians do not go out of their way to “fix” the morals and values of the country they live in. The entertainment industry has filled the airways with filth and trash which has played a big part if tearing our country down. We Christians are not willing to stop watching our TV shows or movies or to write the networks to complain about the content of the tv shows/movies they put on the air. Or whatever. . . .

Gibson: Feds Want Guitar Woodwork Done by Foreign Labor

2011-09-03T08:50:00.001-05:00

Gibson: Feds Want Guitar Woodwork Done by Foreign Labor

Gibson Guitar Corp. is claiming the Obama administration wants more of its woodwork done overseas, as a bizarre battle heats up between the government and one of the country's most renowned guitar makers.

The dispute started in 2009, when federal agents raided the company over suspect wood shipments from Madagascar. Gibson took that case to court but has denounced the administration with a vengeance after agents returned late last month to raid several Gibson factories -- this time out of concern that Indian export laws had been violated.

Though some reports on the dispute have cited environmental concerns, court documents suggest the latest battle boils down to a simple, non-environmental question -- which country is working on the wood?

Gibson's CEO has said repeatedly that the only reason his company is in trouble is because U.S. workers are completing work on guitar fingerboards in the United States. In an interview earlier this week, CEO Henry Juszkiewicz claimed that the U.S. government even suggested Gibson's troubles would disappear if the company used foreign labor.

The Justice Department is hamstrung from talking about the case because it's an ongoing investigation. Justice spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle told FoxNews.com only that agents were looking for evidence of "possible violations" of a law governing imports of plants and wildlife.

Hornbuckle also confirmed that no charges have yet been filed in either of the two cases.

Court documents help explain the root of the tree dispute. According to search warrants associated with the latest raid, federal agents in June intercepted a shipment of Indian ebony apparently bound for Gibson in Tennessee. The documents noted that Indian law "prohibits the export of sawn wood," which can be used for fingerboards -- but does not prohibit the export of "veneers," which are sheets of woods that have already been worked on.

The search warrants alleged that the intercepted shipment was "falsely declared" as veneer, something that would have been legal. However, the documents said the ebony was in fact unfinished "sawn wood," supposedly illegal.

This led to the raid on Gibson facilities late last month.

Juszkiewicz said in a statement that the U.S. government has effectively suggested "that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department's interpretation of a law in India."

A representative at the Indian Embassy in Washington could not be reached for comment.

But Juszkiewicz has since claimed that his company's wood exports do in fact comply with Indian law, even if American workers are doing some of the work.

In an interview on the company website, Juszkiewicz said Gibson "for decades" has purchased fingerboard wood that is two-thirds finished.

"The fact that American workers are completing the work in the United States makes it illegal," he said, citing the government's position.

Juszkiewicz maintains Gibson is still complying with the law.

The Obama Bus Tour : deceit

2011-09-01T08:36:00.001-05:00

Obama did not ride the bus on his big bus tour. He flew on Air Force One between stops and then rode a couple of miles pretending to ride the bus through America.

An AP reporter said that Obama might have ridden these expensive buses only one mile at each stop. Therefore, it wasn’t really a “BUS TOUR”! Obama spent most of the “BUS TOUR” on an airplane traveling between stops. It looks like Obama has scammed the American people again……..with the help of the liberal media.

And so the duplicity that props this guy up continues.

How in hell anyone can trust a damned thing reported by the MSM is beyond me.

Is the Obama Regime politicizing the music business?

Is the Obama Regime politicizing the music business?

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 28, 2011 at 9:06am in Tea Party Nation Forum

If you live in Nashville, AKA Music City, as I do, any thing that affects the music industry is big news. The Feds have made a big splash recently in the music business. But, is politics behind this?

On August 24^th, Federal Agents raided the Gibson Guitar facilities in both Nashville and Memphis. Gibson makes guitars and I am told very good ones. Since my musical efforts generally violate someone’s Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishments, I simply take the word of musician friends that Gibson is a very good guitar.

This was the second raid in two years on Gibson. The issue is a violation of an obscure law called the Lacey Act. The Lacey act which dates from the 1900’s requires a person to declare every flora or fauna being brought into the country and you must fill out the paperwork correctly. This is one of the few applications of law that has what is called “strict liability.” In most instances, if you are accused of violating the law, there is a “Mens Rea” element. In plain, non-lawyer, English, that means you had to have a mental intent. If you think of premeditation in murder you are in the ballpark. With crimes that require a “Mens Rea” element, there are all kinds of defenses. In a strict liability crime such as this one, either the paper work is right or not. If it is wrong, you are on the hook, even if it was an innocent mistake.

The most recent raid seems to have been triggered by an alleged violation of an obscure Indian law about the exporting of non-finished wood. Gibson imported some of its wood from India and uses American workers to finish the wood. Yet the Obama regime’s interpretation of the export of unfinished wood as a violation of the laws of India seems to be the basis for this raid.

Interestingly enough, Martin Guitars (C.F. Martin & Company) uses some of the same wood that Gibson uses. How many times has Martin been raided? Zero.

That may be interesting but there are other facts that build a more interesting and sinister circumstantial case for politics being involved.

The CEO of Gibson is Henry Jusziewicz. Among other things, he gave $2,000 to Congressman Marsha Blackburn, (R-TN) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) He as also donated to a Consumer Electronics Pac that favors Republicans over Democrats.

Chris Martin, of Martin Guitars, on the other hand is a long time Democrat. Over the last four years, he has given over $35,000 to Democratic Candidates and the DNC.

Given the blatant politicization of everything by the Obama regime and their habit of using government to support their friends and harass their opponents, it is perfectly plausible that someone in DOJ is helping a friend of BO.

When conservatives take over in 2013, there need to be a lot of investigations of the Obama regime and the people in it. The GOP has a bad habit of just letting bygones be bygones.

Not this time.

Obama: Raises for me, no job for thee!

2011-08-28T08:07:00.001-05:00

Raises for me, no job for thee!

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 28, 2011 at 6:46am in Tea Party Nation Forum

The Obama regime is now presiding over the Second Great Depression. But, you would not know that by looking at the White House. Not only are Barack Obama and Michelle Obama taking vacation every other day, on the taxpayer’s dime, but while millions of Americans are out of work, those who are doing their best to wreck the American economy are getting raises!

From Gawker:

The White House released its annual salary report last week, and as usual, it's nice to work for Barack Obama: Most staffers who were there for more than a year got a salary bump. A bigger one than you did.

The last time we checked in on White House salaries, we found that an astonishing 75% of continuing staffers got raises from 2009 to 2010—a huge number given the fact that, according to compensation experts, most companies had skipped routine raises that year in reaction to the economic crisis that the White House was busy failing to solve. This time around—from 2010 to 2011—the ratio is a little less dramatic. Of the 270 White House staffers who have been there for more than a year, 146—or 54%—received raises. The average salary increase was 8%. If you look at only staffers who got raises, the average increase was twice that.

That's a much bigger raise than the average white-collar worker got. According to a survey conducted last year by the human resources consulting firm Mercer, most firms were projecting a 3% increase in base pay for executives. White House workers did nearly three times as well. Overall, it should be noted, the White House's salary budget contracted slightly, from $38.8 million to $37.1 million, largely because the number of staffers fell. The average salary also dropped from $82,721, or 65% above the median household income, to $81,765—or 65% above the median household income.

If Barack Obama were the CEO of a company, the board of directors would sack him for such an incredibly poor performance. His staff would be fired too.

Unfortunately we cannot fire them until 2012.

But maybe we can make them feel the economic pain that we are all feeling. When Congress returns, they must finish the budget authorizations for the fiscal year that begins on October 1. The budget must be cut and the best place to start is the White House. Tell Congress let’s cut the White House budget by 50%. Does Michelle Obama really need the staff that she has? She is not an elected official. She has a staff of twenty, including a chief of staff who makes almost $200,000 a year.

How about grounding Air Force One, except for overseas trips? Obama will be using it as his campaign jet in the next few months. While the exact operating costs for Air Force One are classified, the estimates are around $300 million a year. If Obama wants a campaign jet, let his campaign lease one. He says he is going to raise $1 billion for his reelection campaign.

He can even have his own logo on the plane.

Can we have separation of socialism and state?

Can we have separation of socialism and state?

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 26, 2011 at 7:28am in Tea Party Nation Forum

Every four years, we have a ritual; the left wing media goes nuts over the religious beliefs of conservative candidates. If you listen to the left wing fruits that run the editorial pages of many of the major news outlets, like the New York Times, you would think that people like Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee and even Rick Santorum are members of some secretive Christian version of the Taliban.

Every four years, we see this. The drive-by media, which has no clue about life in “fly over” America, writes about conservatives as if they are a part of some evil religious cabal, bent on taking America back to the middle ages.

We get ominous warnings about the separation of church and state, from these people who probably cannot even cite where that statement comes from or what it truly means. Of course, warnings of separation of church and state are a one-way street for the left.

Liberals never have these issues. In 1976, the left wing media made “born again Christian” a popular wave in support of Jimmy Carter, even convincing a large number of evangelicals to vote for him. Of course, Carter was a hard-core leftist, worshiping at the altar of socialism.

In 1992 and after that, we got a regular diet of how Bill and Hillary Clinton were Christians. We got regular news reports about them going to church, complete with video of them walking, hand in hand, holding their bibles. Of course, everything we know about the Clintons tells us their trips to church were just another political prop, like almost everything else in their lives.

In 2008, we were constantly told that Barack Obama was a Christian. Of course, there was an almost total media embargo about his church. Obama’s church preached a radical version of Marxist theology. In Obama’s church, hating America, Western civilization and liberty were dogma. While photos of the Clintons and even the Carters in church were fairly common, including photos of Carter teaching Sunday school, has anyone seen any photos of Obama at Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church?

The left screeches about Michele Bachmann and her beliefs. Is there even a photo of her attending church? If there is, they are hard to find. There are some photos of Rick Perry at the prayer event he recently participated in and at some other events, but none of him just going to church.

For most conservatives, faith is an indivisible part of what and who we are. For most conservatives, some form of faith motivates them. For liberals, faith is simply another tool to advance socialism.

The first commandment of socialists is they cannot have any other Gods before the god of socialism. Liberals love to trot out “faith leaders” to support the goals of big government, but once they are no longer needed for that, the “faith leaders” are expected to sit down, shut up and stay out of the way until they are needed again.

Socialism is a very jealous religion. It tolerates no dissent or disagreement. In some ways, it is the fundamentalist religion that the left wing media is always railing against. Socialism demands absolute devotion to the truth and demands destruction of anyone or anything that disagrees with the socialist fundamentalist orthodoxy.

Conservatism is just the opposite. Conservatism allows disagreement because conservatism believes in liberty and freedom. Conservatism believes in the free market of ideas, which is why dissenting opinions do not faze conservatives. We believe the ideas will compete and the best ideas will emerge.

As this presidential election unfolds, expect the left to continue to project the failings of socialism on conservative candidates. Expect to keep hearing about how dangerous the religious beliefs of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are. Of course these are the beliefs of tens of millions of Americans, but why let inconvenient facts confuse the left.

While the left wing media elites are busy denigrating the beliefs a majority of Americans hold, don’t expect to hear a word about the American hating religion of Barack Obama.

The Michael Bloomberg OUTRAGE!

2011-08-25T09:55:00.001-05:00

Outrage!

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 24, 2011 at 5:17pm in Tea Party Nation Forum

We are three weeks away from the 10^th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Now, you will not believe what has happened. It is Orwellian. The good guys are the bad guys now and the bad guys are perfectly welcome.

What is going on?

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decreed there will be no clergy at the 9/11 memorial.

You heard that right. No Clergy!

Let’s start with the basics. Bloomberg is simply nuts. At the same time he is saying no clergy at the 9/11 memorial service, he is also saying that he has no problem with the 9/11 victory mosque being built two blocks away.

Islamists attacked America on 9/11 based on their religious hatred of America. All types of Americans died on that day. Many were religious people. One of the fatalities that day was Father Mychal Judge, a chaplain with the NYFD who went into the towers with the fire fighters and perished with them.

While Michael Bloomberg lobbies for taxpayer funds to help build the 9/11 victory mosque, there is another casualty of 9/11 that everyone seems to have forgotten about.

Little St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church had stood since 1916. It had been a refuge for New Yorkers and others seeking escape and a brief peaceful interlude during their hectic days in the New York business world. It was the spiritual home to many of the Greek Orthodox faithful of New York. The Sons of St. Nicholas served in World War 1, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam and even up to Desert Storm.

When the towers were destroyed, St. Nicholas was destroyed. The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese has asked, discussed, begged, pleaded, cajoled and done everything in its power to get little St. Nicholas rebuilt. All to no avail. The Archdiocese has now had to file suit.

Mean while Bloomberg, who truly meets Lenin’s definition of a useful idiot, is doing everything he can to make certain a victory mosque is built as close to the site of the 9/11 attacks as possible.

George Bush used to say that Islam had been hijacked. No, what we saw on 9/11 was pretty consistent with Islam since its creation. What we are seeing is 9/11 being hijacked.

Instead of a proper memorial for the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, we are instead fed a line of politically correct bovine scatology.

Enough!

9/11 was a national trauma. We all remember where we were when we first heard about the attack. The tenth anniversary activities are a national disgrace.

My suggestion is this. Our government refuses to identify our enemies as our enemies, treats our citizens as enemies and refuses to take meaningful steps to protect us or protect liberty. 9/11 falls on a Sunday this year. Let’s go to our churches on 9/11 (or synagogues on 9/10) and let real Americans remember the attacks. Let’s have remembrances at our local Tea Party events and Liberty events. Let’s do a memorial at our local Republican Party meetings or out our local Boy Scout meetings.

We cannot make these fools go away by ignoring them, but by holding our own services, where the clergy are welcome; they will have a much harder time pouring salt in our wounds.

Michelle Obama: The Ten Million Dollar Woman

The Ten Million Dollar Woman

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 24, 2011 at 1:55pm in Tea Party Nation Forum

At a time when the economy is in the gutter and many Americans are either curtailing or cancelling vacations, you would think the first family would be sensitive to their plight.

Not so.

From the Daily Mail:

The Obamas' summer break in Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets.

But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances.

White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.

Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.

The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.

'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.'

The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.

And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.

The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.

'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.'

Is anyone else outraged?

This is typical of the liberals and their sense of entitlement. You would think the Obama’s might show a little more concern because not only is it their policies that have put America in this bind, but an election is coming up.

As Congress scrounges for money to cut from the budget, I have a suggestion. The first cut should be the Obama’s travel budget.

More civility from the left

2011-08-24T07:50:00.001-05:00

(from the Tea Party Forum by Judson Phillips)

Congressman Frederica Wilson is a nut. She is a liberal congressman from south Florida. Last night she held a town hall meeting about jobs but instead turned it into political forum where she announced, “the real enemy is the Tea Party.”

Wait, what about that new tone of civility? Apparently, that only applies to conservatives.

Also present to throw in their two cents was the Congressman from hell, Maxine Waters and the head of the racial shakedown racket, Jesse Jackson.

Perhaps it is time for a reality check.

The real reason we have the highest unemployment since the Great Depression is because of policies Congressmen Wilson and Waters supported.

There is a term for clowns like them. Failures. The expression epic fail was invented specifically for people like them.

Maxine Waters rants and raves about the Tea Party, but perhaps she should be more concerned with her own ethical lapses. Waters is facing a trial in the House on charges she tried to aid a troubled bank where her husband owned stock.

Oops.

For those of us in the Tea Party Movement, I think it is time for the gloves to come off. These clowns like Wilson and Waters want to say stupid things, then I say we answer them.

Every time Maxine Waters opens her mouth, we should remind everyone that she has been voted one of the most corrupt members of Congress, not once but twice by the liberal Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. She even got Congress to fund the “Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.” Not only is she corrupt, she has an ego about the size of California.

Waters has been accused of improper conduct, if not corruption in regard to her husband and family. According to the LA Times, from 1996 to 2004 Waters’ relatives made more than a million dollars by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that Waters had helped. In addition, she arranged meetings with officials of the Treasury Department so the bank, where her husband was a shareholder and a director, could get Federal Bailout money. The bank received $12 million under the TARP program.

One thing the left understands is being pushed back. They are like 5^th grade bullies, only with less class and less intelligence.

Someone needs to tell Frederica Wilson’s constituents the real reason they are unemployed is the policies she supports and the policies of the Party of Economic Self Destruction.

Someone needs to remind those people, “the real enemy is Frederica Wilson, Maxine Waters and all of their liberal friends.”

Here is the video.

RINO Desperation

RINO desperation

Posted by Judson Phillips on August 23, 2011 at 7:31am in Tea Party Nation Forum

For the past forty plus years, there has been a civil war going on within the ranks of the Republican Party. The establishment or RINOs are at war with the grass roots conservatives for the heart and soul of the party.

The fight has gotten more interesting in the last few weeks and the desperation of the RINOs is showing.

The first sign of desperation for the RINOs came at the New Hampshire debates. The RINOs had tried to marginalize Michele Bachmann. She came from the back of the pack to be a contender with the great RINO hope, Mitt Romney. Then came the crash of the establishment back up candidate Tim Pawlenty. His disastrous performance in the New Hampshire debates was only topped by what can only be described as his creepy performance against Michele Bachmann in Iowa. Had he gotten any weirder and stayed in the race, Michele Bachmann might have needed a restraining order before their next debate.

With Pawlenty gone, the establishment’s sole hope is the deeply flawed Mitt Romney. Then came Rick Perry, who joined the race and knocked Mitt Romney out of first place.

Romney’s establishment strategy has been simple. Keep debates to a minimum. Try not to make any mistakes. Let the conservative candidates slice and dice each other until he is the last man standing. The establishment has long used the strategy of letting conservatives divide their votes so the RINO ultimately wins.

That was a great strategy as long as he was the front-runner. Now that he is not, that strategy no longer works. So the establishment has been forced to go to plan B.

The establishment still needs conservatives to split their votes. It is the only strategy that will allow Romney to win. Liberals also like that strategy because they would rather Romney face Obama, because even if Obama loses, they will have a President who is content to manage big government as opposed to a President committed to reducing government.

Now, the establishment politicians are all calling for more conservatives to enter the race. Karl Rove is all but slobbering at the feet of Sarah Palin, asking her to join the race. A few months ago, he had nothing good to say about her. Now, he wants her in the race. Others called on Paul Ryan to enter the race. Ryan wisely decided not to do so.

Two can play that game. We need to encourage more RINOs to get in the race. Jon Huntsman is in the race. Run Jon run. You may be a liberal Obama fan boy, but you take votes away from Romney. Rudy Giuliani wants to get in. Go for it Rudy. He may have done a good job as mayor in NYC on 9/11 but conservatives are not going to vote for a mayor who is not only liberal on social issues but has been photographed in drag. Run Rudy, run! He only takes votes away from Romney, not from Bachmann or Perry

George Pataki, the former RINO governor of New York is thinking about running. Run George run. Same for Pataki.

The establishment folks are right. There is room in the field for more GOP candidates. And they should all be RINOs. We can let the RINOs split the vote and for once, we conservatives can benefit from it.

Obama Is a Robot That Needs Reprogramming

Obama Is a Robot That Needs Reprogramming

President Obama's legacy is shaping up to be a recurring cycle of rhetorical failures chasing policy failures, an endless, stupefying effort to convince us of the wisdom of pursuing -- again and again -- policies that have already failed.

This point is reinforced as we read reports about Obama's umpteenth luxurious golf outing while our economy and financial condition approach DEFCON 2 and Middle East turmoil continues apace.

From the superficial snippets we get from the liberal media, Obama doesn't seem to be too concerned with either domestic or foreign policy while on the links, but to the extent he allocates thought to either, he's contemplating his next speech more than deliberating over any substantive decisions.

From all appearances, he's not fretting over the grim jobs reports and hints of creeping inflation; he's not meditating or seeking advice about a new direction he could propose to navigate us out of this malaise.

He's thinking about his abysmal approval ratings, wondering how he can fob those off on President Bush, too. And he's thinking about how he can con the nation into permitting him to give us more doses of the same poisonous elixirs he crammed down our throats the first time.

If he really cared what the people think, he might try listening to them instead of just pretending to be on a listening tour. When an Iowan farmer tried to gently school him on the depressing effects of stifling governmental regulations, Obama cavalierly blew him off and launched into one of his canned monologues deriding income disparities and partisanship. He's got to be the closest thing to a robot ever to inhabit the Oval Office.

As an incorrigible and stunningly narrow-minded ideologue, Obama can't process information or ideas that don't conform to his presuppositions and predispositions. When his policies don't work, it must be because conditions were worse than he'd realized or he didn't go far enough. There is utterly no room for consideration of the possibility that his policies don't work.

So it was that last year when Obama returned from Martha's Vineyard, he didn't emerge revealing any hint of humility about the ongoing failure of his economic prescriptions. He didn't announce that economic realities had finally forced him to take a second look at the wisdom of his agenda.

Instead, he strode into Wisconsin and Ohio to unveil a "bold economic program," as if his $800 billion stimulus package hadn't been brassy enough. He called for "quickly" investing some $50 billion in roads, bridges and other public works projects and, of course, for his obligatory tax hikes for the evil "rich," who could always "afford to give back a little more."

I don't know why more people didn't outright ridicule this juvenile idea at the time. If not already, at what point will he have forfeited the privilege of being taken seriously about the economy? At a time when almost every thinking American was becoming increasingly horrified at the national debt, Obama was proposing that we increase it substantially more in pursuit of policies that had already failed. He never provided any glimpse into the bizarre thought process that had led him to believe that $50 billion could jump-start an economy when 16 times that amount had not.

In the past year, since Obama attempted that preposterous Stimulus II, the people have made it even clearer how opposed they are to his reckless Keynesian schemes, but he refuses to hear them. Just as with Obamacare, he has no intention of deviating from his programmed course. His only challenge is to repackage it -- and fool us into buying it in fewer than 54 speeches this time.

That's right. Believe it or not, in between holes, he's crafting a grand September speech, "mapping out a jobs package that he hopes can boost a sluggish economy and win over voters who are coming to doubt his leadership," according to the Los Angeles Times.

He's not about to propose that the government, to stimulate growth, relax its stranglehold on the private sector by loosening onerous regulations, easing the tax burden, and drastically reducing spending. Those do not compute.

He's going to propose -- in a different, perhaps more deceptive, form -- the same blueprint: government spending of borrowed money to "stimulate" growth. And he'll ratchet up his attack on Republicans, blaming them, along with his predecessor, for obstructing his ingenious reforms. To make his case, he will have to revise history to distort the fact that he had supermajorities in Congress long enough to get his way on the omnibus bill, the stimulus package and Obamacare and that they've all greatly exacerbated our financial crisis.

Obama's puerile predictability is pathetic, but even more so, it's tragic. If only there were a way to reprogram this robot.

Obama Smuggling Guns and Registering Yours

2011-08-23T09:11:00.001-05:00

Chuck Norris

President Barack Obama wants you to believe that America's Founding Fathers were in error when they gave citizens the right to bear arms.

The Obama administration and even its Mexican counterpart have manipulated public opinion to believe that the cartel drug wars are being fueled largely by American guns. In support of that spin, they are trying to impose a new regulation that requires licensed firearms dealers in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to report to the federal government whenever someone buys from them more than one semiautomatic rifle with certain characteristics.

Obama's Department of Justice essentially is amending the Second Amendment by changing the rules for gun sales in border states. While working under the guise of stopping illegal contraband and fighting drug cartels, the White House in reality is further imposing its gun control agenda on the American public through back-door rule-making. This is just one more example of the feds exceeding their powers and avoiding congressional permission. It is also another showing of complete disregard for the Constitution.

Based upon those illegalities, Wayne LaPierre -- my friend and the CEO of the National Rifle Association -- disclosed on Fox News recently that the NRA filed a lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to issue an injunction barring enforcement of the rule. And with NRA support, the U.S. House has voted to withhold funding for the enforcement of the new regulation.

As LaPierre wrote in his weekly commentary last week, "the cartels run a $40 billion enterprise ... but the (Obama) administration wants the public to believe that it's going to disarm cartels with a form? Who is the president kidding?"

Doesn't Obama know that restricting the right to bear arms primarily ties the hands of good guys while the bad guys purchase them from a host of illegal sources? And what part of "shall not be infringed" in the Second Amendment do the feds not understand?

Attorney General Eric Holder said the Justice Department will "vigorously oppose" the NRA lawsuit.

The fact is, as LaPierre points out, that cartels get their machine guns, grenades, missile launchers and tanks from Central America, South America, Russia, China, international black markets and defectors of the Mexican army. State Department cables, released by WikiLeaks, support that fact.

On the one hand, Fox News reported that in 2009-10, more than 20,000 guns recovered in Mexico came from U.S. manufacturers. On the other hand, 75 percent of guns submitted to the U.S. could not be traced to a licensed gun store. But there is one place to which more than 2,000 crime guns could be traced: the federal government.

The winner of the "Largest American Supplier of Guns to Mexico" award is actually the Obama administration, via Operation Fast and Furious -- a botched, foiled and disastrous sting operation by the ATF's Phoenix division to uncover a large network of cartel-linked gunrunners. During 2009-11, through Operation Fast and Furious, the ATF facilitated the sale of 2,020 firearms to suspected smugglers over 15 months!

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, have been researching information on the Fast and Furious program for months. Grassley and Issa recently blew the whistle that to date, "hundreds of these weapons have already been recovered at crime scenes in Mexico." (Your tax dollars hard at work!)

Among the tragic consequences was the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, gunned down in the Arizona desert last December. Two AK-47 semiautomatic rifles found at the scene were traced directly to the Fast and Furious sting.

As far as the Obama administration's culpability goes, The Washington Times reported that Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "noted that Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson told congressional investigators the agency's senior leadership would have preferred to cooperate more with the congressional investigation of the operation, but Justice Department officials directed ATF not to respond and took full control of replying to briefing and document requests from Congress."

To add insult to injury, the ATF recently promoted three key Operation Fast and Furious supervisors, who allowed firearms to be illegally trafficked across the U.S. border into Mexico, to new management jobs in Washington!

The truth is that the Obama administration is involved right now in a monumental cover-up regarding its criminally handing over thousands of firearms to gunrunners and smugglers. And to duck and dodge its responsibility for those illegalities by now coming across as the vanguard of gun control by cracking down on the sale of two guns to an American at one time is preposterous hypocrisy.

Moreover, to unilaterally mandate this new federal rule so close to the Fast and Furious debacle is more than coincidental, especially in light of the fact that the administration tabled the proposed regulation in January because it was "not an emergency." The only thing that has changed is the embarrassing revelation of the ATF disaster.

The Obama administration is trying to not only eliminate our Second Amendment rights but also demonize good, law-abiding American gun dealers and citizens in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. It is not only smuggling its guns but also trying to take ours. And I, for one, am not going to sit back and just watch it happen.

God, guns and guts made America. Let's keep all three.

Free speech, marriage and teachers

2011-08-21T07:19:00.001-05:00

Do teachers in public-school systems have a “special ethics” code that prevents them from publicly speaking on policy issues? Lake County Schools in Florida suspended Jerry Buell, a high-school teacher with a reportedly impeccable record for 22 years, for posting his opposition to New York’s new gay-marriage law, and will start termination proceedings against him. The case will test First Amendment rights and encroaching political correctness: Jerry Buell, a veteran American history teacher at Mount Dora High School, was removed from his teaching duties as school officials in Lake County investigate allegations that what he posted was biased towards homosexuals. “We took the allegations seriously,” said Chris Patton, a communication officer with Lake County Schools. “All teachers are bound by a code of special ethics (and) this is a code ethics violation investigation.” Patton said the school system received a complaint on Tuesday about something Buell had written last July when New York legalized same sex unions. On Wednesday, he was temporarily suspended from the classroom and reassigned.

Obama–Yet Another Vacation

2011-08-20T08:29:00.001-05:00

While millions of Americans are out of work, Obama jets off to his monthly vacation. Today he will hit the golf course looking for double boogies while real Americans look for work.

Complicating the job search for millions of Americans, who at this point would take any job, is Obama’s amnesty by fiat.

Obama–Planned Voter Fraud

2011-08-20T08:27:00.001-05:00

It is no accident Obama is taking this action now. It is a two-fold strategy. First is a blatant and shameless pandering to the part of the Hispanic community that is demanding amnesty. Second, by doing this “amnesty by fiat” he is sending a message to millions of others who would come to this country illegally. He is saying, “come. We will do nothing to you. We won’t even deport you.”

The second part is more important. Team Obama sees the numbers. If the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide. Obama is not going to convince enough Americans to vote him into a second term but if he can get enough illegals up here and there is enough election fraud in swing states, he might just pull it out. If, through election fraud and illegal alien voting, he could swing Texas, he would doom any chance a Republican would have of winning the White House in 2012.

This is why the left always opposes voter ID laws and why they have always demanded laws that allow someone to register to vote on the spot, without time to actually verify who they are and if they are eligible to be a voter.

2012 is coming and Obama’s only hope is massive vote fraud. This is his first step.

Hussein Obama–In the News

2011-08-20T08:26:00.001-05:00

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, one of the president's toughest critics on border policy, said the move amounts to the administration implementing an immigration overhaul "via executive fiat."

"This plan amounts to backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of illegal aliens," the Republican governor said in a written statement. "We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law."

Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul said the plan circumvents Congress.

"It is just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way," McCaul said.

Hillary Clinton–an Embarassment

2011-08-19T08:21:00.001-05:00

Secretary of State Clinton asks Israel to Apologize to Turkey and Breaking News this morning from Israel

It was widely published yesterday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to APOLOGIZE to Turkey for the death of 9 Turks in the 2010 Flotilla raid by Israeli Marines. The Prime Minister in top Statesman fashion declined. What nerve we have in asking Israel to apologize? Apologize for what? That request was just embarrassing.

The Wall Street Journal reported..

"Some Obama administration officials said they hoped a rehabilitation could help ease two looming regional issues: the perilous situation in Syria and rising tensions between Israel and the Palestinians." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904070604576514643273048216.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Everyone is DC needs to put down the crack pipe. "Rehabilitation"... what is that? The Israeli's rolling over and taking another punch in the face? No.. they will not and we need to fire everyone in the State Department. Where did Secretary Clinton get the nerve to call the Israeli Prime Minister and ask him to take another hit? Can you believe it?

Sure.. Netanyahu should apologize to the Turks for defending the borders of a sovereign nation. Apologize for that? At least the Israeli's have the backbone to stand up and defend their borders. Why should they apologize? That is just crazy but typical Obama, Socialist, Marxist dogma.

But in all fairness the Israeli's do have an internal problem which is Ehud Barak. There was a critical error made when he was appointed. I have received some strong quotes which I will share in 'edited" below.

"It is with deepest regret that we, The Jewish States of Israel, allowed Ehud Barak to control the defense of our nation from hostile invaders."

"We more than apologize to all involved, especially the members of the Israeli Defense Forces for allowing Ehud Barak to be appointed in the first place. Ehud is of the Kadima (left) party and cannot help himself. Please know that we are correcting the mistakes made in this matter."

When I read this today I said wow.. wonder what will happen? Then I looked at our own elected officials and thought.. so what are we going to do? Our officials in the most high position as just idiots like Barak. I decided that Clinton and Barak should go on a cruise together. The question is where?

It is with great sadness that we learned this morning of yet another attack on Israel. This attack resulted in many casualties. It is important to note that attack originated out of Gaza and not Egypt . The attack was well coordinated and included an anti tank weapon which was fired at a civilian bus. These weapons are the ones the Israeli naval blockade is intended to intercept. And Israel should APOLOGIZE?

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the brave men and women of the Israeli Defense Forces.

Red China Alert

2011-08-15T09:14:00.001-05:00

Pakistan gave China access to the previously unknown U.S. "stealth" helicopter that crashed during the commando raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May despite explicit requests from the CIA not to, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The disclosure, if confirmed, is likely to further shake the U.S.-Pakistan relationship, which has been improving slightly after hitting its lowest point in decades following the killing of bin Laden.
During the raid, one of two modified Blackhawk helicopters, believed to employ unknown stealth capability, malfunctioned and crashed, forcing the commandos to abandon it.

Hussein Obama’s approval rating

2011-08-15T09:12:00.001-05:00

President Obama's summer woes have dragged his approval rating to an all-time low, sinking below 40% for the first time in Gallup's daily tracking poll.
New data posted Sunday shows that 39% of Americans approve of Obama's job performance, while 54% disapprove. Both are the worst numbers of his presidency.
Obama's approval rating has hovered in the 40% range for much of 2011, peaking at 53% in the weeks following the death of Osama bin Laden.

The ANT and the GRASSHOPPER

The ANT and the GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different ......
Two Different Versions .....
Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter,
so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC
show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with
a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green..'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright
has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Rachel Maddow that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow,
never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle, the once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest
of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

NYC archdiocese pushes back against new sex-ed mandate

NYC archdiocese pushes back against new sex-ed mandate
Posted by Staff

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York called a new city requirement that sex education be taught at all public middle and high schools “troubling” on Wednesday, and some Catholic officials said they would advise Catholic parents not to let their children participate.

In the first serious challenge to the city’s mandate, which was announced on Tuesday, a spokesman for the archdiocese said the church’s position was that parents, not the schools, should educate children about sex.

“Parents have the right and the responsibility to be the first and primary educators of their children,” Joseph Zwilling, director of communications for the archdiocese, wrote in a statement. “This mandate by the city usurps that role, and allows the public school system to substitute its beliefs and values for those of the parents.”
