The Reagan - Obama Debate Awesome Video!
President Ronald Reagan blows away Barack Hussein Obama on socialism, healthcare, the Consititution and Liberty.
In the last hour Mark Levin played this audio on his show- it's a compilation of speeches by Obama and Reagan- as if they were debating on various ideas, policies and principles. The differences are stark and will remind you why we can't "forget about Reagan".
Your time will not be wasted listening to this terrific "debate"!

Charles Krauthammer Comments On Chief Justice John Roberts' Response To Obama's Attack On The Supreme Court
Charles Krauthammer comments on Chief Justice John Roberts' response to Obama's attack on the Supreme Court during his State of the Union.
Krauthammer said, "I hope that next year there are nine empty seats in the State of the Union Address, that would be the appropriate rebuke." Krauthammer said he liked John Roberts' response, saying it "had the right judicial touch," and he again said, "What I'd like to see is the empty nine seats for every State of the Union in the Obama presidency, that would send a message."
Wild Thing's comment........
heh heh LOVE Krauthammer's response about Obama.

Limbaugh says that Obama is a mistake, and he knows it!
Rush Limbaugh says that Obama is a mistake, and he knows it. He said Obama and his "buddies" know they have "three years to screw this place up in their image." Limbaugh said, "Obama, if he can get what he wants done, he'd be happy to be thrown out of office, after having a very successful four years in transforming the country into an image that he and his radical buddies have longed to make it.
"Obama ran for the presidency for the express purpose of, within the democratic process, overthrowing the American way of life."
"Let's just admit it: The nation made a horrible mistake in electing Barack Obama.
Not us, of course. Not us.
The nation at large made a huge mistake, and the majority of them know it."
Wild Thing's comment.........
God bless ElRushbo.
Obama is getting angry I can feel it when I hear clips from his never ending speeches now more then ever. I hope he goes off in one of them like Kennedy did in my other post and then the media will be all running around like the sky is falling. hahahaha

Awesome Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) Discusses Obamacare With Megyn Kelly
Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) Addresses the Obama's Latest Health Care Plan on Fox News’ “America Live” with Megyn Kelly
“The American people reject this approach because they know what they [the Democrats] are advancing is simply going to give the government more control over decisions that ought to be made between patients and doctors and families.”
U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, made the following remarks today, on FOXNEWS’ “America Live” with Megyn Kelly, in response to the president’s latest plan for a government takeover of health care:
Congressman Mike Pence: “Well, I think it has to be disappointing to millions of Americans. It seems like the president was at the health care summit last week but he had the sound down. And it seems like this president has been ignoring the overwhelming sentiment of a clear majority of the American people who have rejected a government takeover of healthcare.
“Anyone who tuned in today might have thought that the president would have scaled back. We heard talk about a smaller bill, we heard talk about maybe the Democrats taking a more incremental approach. But what we heard was the president today essentially doubling down on a government takeover of health care and in effect saying that this massive expansion of government, a trillion dollar expansion of government, would ‘give Americans more control.’ Well, I think the American people reject this approach because they know what they’re advancing is simply going to give the government more control over decisions that ought to be made between patients and doctors and families.
“I really do believe this hasn’t changed anything. It’s more of the same government takeover, with a few Republican ideas salted in. Of course the most troubling aspect here is the President of the United States openly advocating that the leadership of his party abuse the historic role of the Senate, the historic rules of the Senate, to overturn the will of the majority of the American people. That’s got to be frustrating to millions, and it’s certainly frustrating to those of us who will be in this fight on Capitol Hill.”
The use of reconciliation:
Host Megyn Kelly: “He’s [the president] making a reference to when the Democrats were in the minority and the Republicans used reconciliation to push through certain bills.”
Congressman Mike Pence: “It’s just not supportable from an historical standpoint. Even Robert Byrd has said openly that to use the reconciliation budget process in the Senate, in this way, would really be an abuse of the traditional roll of the Senate. But you know, I do think the big question coming out of this speech is: ‘What’s the hurry?’ The president says we have to bring it to a close; it’s time to make a decision. The issue of health care and health insurance, and the long-term cost of health care, is a profound issue that has enormous consequences not only to the federal budget, but to the most precious decisions of every American and every American family.”
Host Megyn Kelly: “He says the time for talk is over. He spoke to that in the remarks, saying that you guys on Capitol Hill have been debating this, he said, for decades and that the time for talk is over.”
Congressman Mike Pence: “He says this isn’t about politics. But why do we have to get it done in two weeks? I mean, if it’s not about politics, if they are not trying to force something through with enough time, as one member of the Senate said yesterday, to hope they can recover politically by election day, then what is the hurry?
“This is too important to rush. A majority of the American people want us to scrap the bill and start over. But what you heard the President of the United States say today is that because he can do it, he will do it. He’s going to drive a government takeover of health care through the Congress, and I just have to tell you, I think the America people, and Republicans in the Congress, have got another think coming for them. I think we are going to turn this thing back. I think the American people are going to be heard from, but it’s not going to be people clamoring for more government, more taxes, more mandates. It’s going to be Americans who are clamoring for freedom and for free market solutions.”
Does Speaker Pelosi have the votes:
Congressman Mike Pence: “She’s [Speaker Pelosi] a very good vote counter, but you know, the person they always leave out of the discussion here in Washington, D.C., Megyn, is the American people. The president said in his speech that politics intruded. Well, you know what? At the town halls in August all over this country, at the 9/12 March, it wasn’t politics that intruded – the American people intruded.
“The American people want legislation on health care that will lower the cost of health insurance, give people the chance to purchase health insurance across state lines, do medical malpractice reform, deal with pre-existing conditions. They don’t want a government takeover of health care. What the president is saying today, because he thinks he’s able to do it politically, is he’s going to override not the minority in Congress, but the express will of the majority of the American people to advance it. And I think he has another thing coming.”
The impact of using reconciliation:
Congressman Mike Pence: “I think that was one of the most amazing things about the speech, Megyn, the president referred to the fact they got 60 votes, as though Massachusetts never happened. They don’t have 60 votes now. The American people in the one election that they had a chance to be heard on the Senate in a dramatic way, the American people sent Senator Scott Brown to Washington, D.C. to be Senator number 41. It’s as though the president is simply ignoring the will of the American people. My answer is, he was right the first time.
“When you look at the history of major social legislation, whether it was the enactment of Social Security, whether it was the enactment of Medicare, those bills, although controversial and hotly debated, at the end of the day they passed with broad bipartisan support. And they did so largely because the United States Senate is that cooling saucer, under the Constitution of the United States, that requires that legislation achieve some measure of consensus and therefore, broad support among the American people. The very idea that the president is going to force through a trillion dollar government takeover of health care, on a pure party line vote, I think is going to be deeply offensive and deeply disappointing to millions of Americans.”

Mike Pence is right, Obama wants this no matter what. He is not listenign to what we the people want at all.

Governor Rick Perry Wins the Texas Republican Primary
Governor Rick Perry won the Texas Republican primary.
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison conceded the election at 9:30. Truther-Tea Party candidate Debra Medina took about one-fifth of the vote.
Gov. Perry beats Hutchison in Texas GOP primary
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison conceded the Republican nomination for Texas governor to Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday following a heated primary battle that highlighted the growing anti-Washington mood among voters in midterm elections.
Hutchison was once seen as the candidate who could deliver Perry’s first election loss in a lifetime of public office, but the governor, a darling of the social conservatives, forcefully painted the senator as too entrenched in Washington politics.
Speaking at his election night party in Driftwood after Hutchison conceded, Perry said he would unite a fractured Texas Republican Party in the November general election and stressed that Washington politics had no place in the Lone Star state.
“From Driftwood, Texas, to Washington, D.C. we are sending you a message tonight: Stop messing with Texas!” Perry said.
Perry, Texas’ longest-serving governor, had 51 percent of the vote compared to Hutchinson’s 31 percent, with nearly three-fourths of precincts reporting Tuesday night. About one in five voters cast ballots for a third candidate, Debra Medina, a GOP party activist who was backed by some in the state’s tea party movement.
Perry will face former Houston Mayor Bill White, who easily defeated Houston hair-care magnate Farouk Shami and five other Democrats to win his party's nomination for governor and immediately turned on Perry.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I am so glad, I did not want the others to win. This was a hard fought campaign.

GOP Rep.Steve King Compares Obama To Ahmadinejad ~ So True!
Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King speaking on the House Floor where he said he wishes President Obama would do for the Republican Party what he has done to Iranian thug Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: "Extend his hand."
King said, "We would extend our hand if he would've just unclenched his fist." But the President who is so willing to negotiate with thug regimes, is ready to just try and jam his Health Care Bill through Congress on a totally partisan basis.

Texas Primary Today ~ God Bless Texas!
This is a big election year in Texas. Voters will cast ballots for all 32 U.S. representatives, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, railroad commissioner, three members of the Supreme Court, three members of the Court of Criminal Appeals, 16 state senators, all 150 state representatives, eight members of the State Board of Education, some Court of Appeals justices, district judges, family district judges, county judges, statutory county court judges and many county-level races.
Perry also promoted the Texas economy, with its low taxes and relatively low unemployment rate, as a model for other states. His appeal to pride in Texas has resonated with conservative voters, political scientists say.
“We’re adding to the state population by over 1,000 people per day,” the governor said to about 100 people packed into the Harris County Republican Party headquarters in Houston. “People are voting, and they’re voting with their feet and coming to Texas.”
Across town, at a downtown shopping mall, Ms. Hutchison shook hands with shoppers and passed out palm cards. Shifting her emphasis in the last days, she said Mr. Perry had divided the party with his appeals to the far right, losing support for Republicans in urban counties. She also bristled at his portrayal of her as a Washington insider.

Las Vegas Casino Owner Steve Wynn Speaks Out About Obama's Destructive Comments For Business ! Good for Wynn!!
Las Vegas Casino Owner Steve Wynn is disgusted with the Obama Administration
Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas Steve Wynn, had his company's fourth quarter financial result conference call yesterday with reporters. And during the Q&A a female reporter said to Steve Wynn, "Is it too early to say that maybe 2011 would be better, in other words, how do your 2011 bookings versus 2010, or just any comments on the volume of bookings or rate of bookings for 2010 or '11 just to get a sense of whether you see any change at all?"
WYNN:
There are more questions afoot in this market in America that will impact '11 than I have hair on my head, I'm happy to say, and I still have a full head of hair. I have more pessimism than I've had before, and it's based upon the political environment in which we are living today. And it definitely is impacting Las Vegas. The president of the United States hasn't missed one single opportunity to squelch Las Vegas. We get phone calls -- and I'm not going to mention the names of the companies -- from chairmen who say we don't want to appear to be profligate because Barack Obama said this or that about Las Vegas.
It is preposterous that businesses are under attack in the United States of America. Anybody that makes over $250,000 in the form of a personal income tax return is now, by Washington definition, a rich person, when everybody who has got a college degree knows that the personal income tax rate in the United States of America is the business tax of America. I am disgusted and angry at the apparent ignorance of the administration and the Congress to recognize the fact that the individual tax rate in the United States of America is in fact a business tax of America. And if you keep banging on that, you will destroy the incentive for job formation in the United States of America. And that's simple truth.
Why I'm pessimistic about Las Vegas, because those are our customers! Those people out there hustling their businesses, and God forbid, showing that they made a million dollars as a partnership or as an individual. Yeah, they're the enemy now, they're the rich folks. Well, until we get over this, America is in for hard times. The people that are gonna suffer from what's going on are the working class of America. My 15 to 20,000 employees, they're the ones that are in trouble, and until my employees get the drift of what's being done to them, America is in trouble.
Wynn: Obama’s remarks bad for convention business
Steve Wynn touched on more than just finances during Tuesday’s Wynn Resorts earnings call. The casino owner joined city officials in their criticism of President Obama’s remarks on corporations spending taxpayer dollars in Las Vegas.
Obama said he doesn’t think the people who received benefits from the government should be going on junkets to expensive places or Las Vegas for wasteful spending … which stigmatized the convention business that could come to Las Vegas,” Wynn said.
Wynn said since the president made his remarks, a large corporation that didn’t receive taxpayer dollars pulled out of a $5 million convention at his resorts.
“It was a direct result of the comment made by the president,” Wynn said. “Whatever the president’s intentions were, it gives you an idea of how sensitive the public is.”
Wynn didn’t name the company that pulled out but he called the company “one of the healthiest in the country, much healthier than the government.”
Convention visitors to Las Vegas dropped 5 percent from 2007 to 2008, said Jeremy Handel, spokesman for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
“In response to the bad economy and the misconceived press out there about the convention industry, we are developing a campaign in relation to that to express the importance of the meeting industry in Las Vegas and that Las Vegas is a place where business gets done,” Handel said.
After Obama’s comments, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. moved a three-day conference from Mandalay Bay to San Francisco, incurring a $600,000 cancellation penalty to skip town. Morgan Stanley, which has received $10 billion in bailout funds, canceled a trip for top employees to the Monte Carlo.
Wynn agreed that Congress needs to be critical of those spending federal bailout money but is afraid Obama’s remarks have characterized Las Vegas as a place of wasteful spending.
“We have hundreds of thousands of employees here, more than the auto industry. I hope that Uncle Sam recognizes that and that the rhetoric that is used is more considered in the future because it’s been demonstrated to us that it can have unintended consequences,” Wynn said.
Las Vegas is one of the most technologically advanced locations to hold meetings, and it’s a value compared to other cities, Wynn said.
Wynn said he’s created numerous jobs in the city with his Wynn Las Vegas and Encore resorts. He said the government can’t boast of the same accomplishment.
“I created 4,000 or 5,000 jobs here,” he said. “Does that make us a bad guy? How many new jobs did Uncle Sam create? Zero. “

Wild Thing's comment.........
God bless Steve Wynn! He is absolutely right! Nick calls Obama the "cooler". He destroys everything he touches, he stops progress dead in it's tracks, he kills capitalism with his agenda and speeches. Obama is the most destructive president to the American dream our country has ever had. And the MOST dangerous to our beloved America.

Rest In Peace Army General Alexander Meigs Haig, Jr.
Korea. Two Silver Stars. Bronze Star with Valor device. Seven campaigns in the coldest war. Vietnam. DSC and Purple Heart.
General Haig participaated in seven Korean War campaigns including the Battle of Inchon, the Battle of Chosin Reservoir and Evacuation of Hungnam. Alexander Meigs Haig, Jr. (December 2, 1924 – February 20, 2010) was a retired United States Army general who served as the United States Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan and White House Chief of Staff under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.[1] In 1973 Haig served as Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, the number-two ranking officer in the Army.[2] Haig served as the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, commanding all U.S. and NATO forces in Europe.
When two of his companies were engaged by a large hostile force, Colonel Haig landed amid a hail of fire, personally took charge of the units, called for artillery and air fire support and succeeded in soundly defeating the insurgent force...the next day a barrage of 400 rounds was fired by the Viet Cong, but it was ineffective because of the warning and preparations by Colonel Haig. As the barrage subsided, a force three times larger than his began a series of human wave assaults on the camp. Heedless of the danger himself, Colonel Haig repeatedly braved intense hostile fire to survey the battlefield. His personal courage and determination, and his skillful employment of every defense and support tactic possible, inspired his men to fight with previously unimagined power. Although his force was outnumbered three to one, Colonel Haig succeeded in inflicting 592 casualties on the Viet Cong... (HQ US Army, Vietnam, General Orders No. 2318 (May 22, 1967)

R.I.P. Condolences to his family.

Indiana Rep. Mike Pence Speech At CPAC Totally Awesome!
Notes taken from the Washington Post
In his speech he was urging grass-roots activists to turn Democrats out of power in November and deliver the country from "the bondage of big government." Pence repeatedly brought audience members to their feet with a stirring articulation of conservative principles. Noting his party's failures to adhere to those values when they last held power in Washington, he said to cheers and applause, "We don't just need a Republican majority, we need a conservative majority on Capitol Hill."
Pence defended Republican opposition to Obama's economic and health-care policies, saying: "Some people around here like to call this the 'party of no.' Well, I say no is way underrated here in Washington, D.C. Sometimes no is just what this town needs to hear."
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) received one of the most thunderous ovations so far in the three-day conference when he delivered a stinging assault on Obama's agenda and a plea to deliver the nation from "the bondage of big government." Pence said, "This is our moment" -- not just for a Republican majority on Capitol Hill, but for a conservative one.
"Now's the time," Pence said. "It's time for all of us to do all we can to preserve what makes this country great. If you can give, give. If you can speak, speak. If you can write, write. And if you can run, run."
The loudest applause for Pence came when he mentioned the upcoming trial of Sept. 11 terror suspect Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Pence said the U.S. intelligence community should be given the tools to fight terrorism as a war and then called on the Obama administration to alter its plan to try some terror suspects in civilian courts.
And when he recycled and updated a line used by conservatives at past gatherings, he also brought down the house. "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, and a depression is when you lose your job, and a recovery is when [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi loses her job."
Pence quoted former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, who, as she was coming to power, described her country as on its knees. "America is not yet on its knees, but it's bowed," he said.
Pence then asserted, without naming names, that "officials in this administration" say privately that they see their job as "managing America's decline." He then said, "The job of the American president is not to manage American decline. The job of the American president is to reverse it."

Bush "Miss Me Yet" Merchandise HOT Item At Cafe Press
Bush “Miss Me Yet?” merchandise is selling like hotcakes online.
The cheery image of former President George W. Bush appeared on a billboard in Minnesota earlier this month, next to the words, “Miss me yet?” It appears a lot of people think it’s a fair question.
The online store CafePress saw a spike in demand for items featuring the same image as the billboard, the New York Daily News reports. Ten “Miss Me Yet?” items were on the company’s list of its top-selling designs, CafePress spokeswoman Jenna Martin told the Daily News.
“There were no Obama-themed designs on the list,” she said. “Bush has stolen the political spotlight, just like Sarah Palin did the week before when she re-surfaced with crib notes written in her palm.”
Obama-themed merchandise saturated the Washington area around the time of the president's inauguration last year, but by the fall, the enthusiasm for Obama caps, t-shirts, commemorative plates and so forth, seemed to fizzle. U.S. News and World Report noted earlier this month that even the Obama Store, located in tourist-filled Union Station, has closed, in what "may be the most tangible sign yet that the [Obama] honeymoon is over."
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
LOL Even CBS calls it “cheery.” Meanwhile, Obama Store in Union Station closes.
I think there should be one that says, “I Still Miss Reagan!”
Pray for America’s Freedom.
Frankly that comments here and is part of Team Theodore, you all know him, he also has shirts and stickers etc. I have not looked yet as of this posting to see if he has the Miss Me Yet items. But here is the link to his site just in case anyone might like to check it out.

An 'Impeach Obama' Highway Billboard ~ Excellent!
OSHKOSH - A controversial billboard along Highway 41 is catching people's attention. It calls for President Obama to be removed from office.
The spot, near the Oshkosh Correctional Institute, is also becoming a popular spot for motorists to pull over and snap a picture."
The sign kind of struck me as being very forceful. I was driving up to Green Bay this morning and saw it. It just surprised me that a sign like that would be out there, that blatant," said Gary Fox, of Waukesha.
Jones Sign Company said the billboard went up on Thursday. So, who paid for it?
FOX 11 went looking and it turns out it wasn't a group of small business owners. It was Tom Wroblewski, an attorney in Menasha.

The Obama Administration Is Going Back To A Pre-9/11 Mentality!
Missouri GOP Sen. Kit Bond talking to Greta Van Susteren, where he said the Obama Administration is "going back to a pre-9/11 mentality":
"But what my real beef is with the administration that seems to be going back to a pre-9/11 mentality, where they treat terrorists as ordinary criminals. That was deadly in the past, and I'm afraid it will be again."
Bond has been very critical of the way the Obama Administration has handled the "Underwear Bomber," in reading him his "Miranda Rights" instead of getting all the information possible out of him about other terrorist activities.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Bond is right. That is exactly what Obama has set out to do and is doing - operating with a "Pre-9/11 Mindset." In the 1990's, we treated terrorist activity like common criminal activity rather than as a war for survival. Obama has returned to that mentality.

Congressman Pence said, “I am proud to endorse Marco Rubio for the United States Senate"
Miami, FL – Congressman Mike Pence (IN-06), who currently serves as House Republican Conference Chairman, today announced his endorsement of Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate.
Making today’s announcement, Pence said, “I am proud to endorse Marco Rubio for the United States Senate. Marco Rubio’s faith in free markets, limited government and traditional moral values make him the right choice for Republicans in this race. At a time when the American people long for leaders of principle, Marco Rubio will be a courageous check and balance on the current Washington establishment.
“With Washington spending money we don’t have and empowering the government at the expense of individual freedom, we need more leaders like Marco Rubio who are willing to take a stand for the common sense and common values of the American people.”
Welcoming Pence’s endorsement, Rubio said, “Mike Pence’s professional and political careers have been defined by his thoughtful advocacy of conservative principles. I am proud to have Congressman Pence’s support and look forward to working with him in Washington to promote freedom at home and abroad."
Florida GOP Senate Candidate Marco Rubio is unleashing on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in their battle for the Republican Senate Nomination.
The ad uses Crist's own words, and endorsement of the Obama Stimulus Bill against him.

Obama tripled the national deficit in one year and nearly doubled the unemployment number compared to the previous administration’s average, a mysterious George W. Bush billboard popped up in Minnesota off of Interstate 35.

In Full: Sarah Palin's Tea Party Speech
Sarah Palin delivered the closing keynote address at the first national Tea Party convention.
Just a few of her comments........
"How's that hopey, changing stuff working out for you?"
"I will live, I will die for the people of America. Whatever I can do to help. This movement is the future of politics in America."
Palin talked of limited government, strict adherence to the Constitution, and the "God-given right" of freedom. She said the "fresh, young and fragile" movement is the future of American politics because it's "a ground-up call to action" to both major political parties to change how they do business. "You've got both party machines running scared," she said.
Palin suggested that the party should remain leaderless and cautioned against allowing the movement to be defined by any one person. "This is about the people" and "it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter," she said, jabbing at Obama.
She also had a Q & A which was also good.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Excellent speech by Sarah. She certainly fired a shot across the democrat bow. GREAT!
The left hate her because she is one of only a few Republicans with the GUTS to go after Obama. She really can’t stand him....same for how I feel about him.

Andrew Breitbart to Media at Tea Party Convention: "It's You That Sucks"
Andrew Breitbart raised the roof at the National Tea Party Convention.
Speaking to the dozens of reporters assembled in the back of the room, Andrew said this:
“It’s not your business model that sucks, it’s you that sucks.”
Andrew finished his speech with this warning to the media:
“If you don’t start reporting the truth I will organize a protest in New York City on Madison Avenue and you won’t be able to escape to the Hamptons for the weekend.”
Wild Thing's comment........
AWESOME! Thank you Andrew.
God bless this man. I love it when people speak their mind to the lib media.

Neil Boortz Unloads on Bob Shrum After Palin Speech
Boortz says Shrum lost every ounce of credibility he had.
Boortz: "Where do you people come up with that nonsense? There you go, and with that Shrum, you lost every ounce of credibility you have this evening, you might take off your microphone and go home right now"
Shrum said after Sarah Palin's speech "She came across to me as a merchant of hate with an oh gosh smile"
Just to remind everyone of what a career loser Bob Shrum is, lets take a look at his track record:
Campaigns he worked for:
1968 Ed Muskie (Lost)
1972 George McGovern (Lost)
1988 Michael Dukakis (Lost)
1992 Bob Kerrey (Lost)
2000 Al Gore (Lost)
2004 John Kerry (Lost) Chief Strategist

Good for Neil Boortz! That is exactly what we should see happening everytime the left goes after any conservative. I would love to see more of this. I hace had it with the rino's that want to play nice and keep saying "friend" to a leftie on the talk shows on TV. They are not a friend and they are NOT a friend to America.

A Tribute and Remembering President Ronald Reagan
Saturday, Feb 6, would have marked President Reagan's 99th birthday. And being that it was almost 30 years ago he was elected president.
Ronald Reagan believed in American exceptionalism. Ronald Reagan believed in the American people who are the wellspring of that exceptionalism. Ronald Reagan unapologetically, unswervingly and unconditionally loved America.
In these troubled times there are so many reasons for pessimism. The current administration and their congressional allies have taken our nation down a dark path towards a future that we do not want. In spite of what the Main Stream Media and members of our own government have said, the America of Ronald Reagan is alive and well. We see it in the faces of our neighbors at town hall meetings and tea parties, we read about it in new media outlets like American Thinker, we hear it in the voice of conservative talk radio and we know it in our hearts.
Saturday, February 6th 2010 will be Ronald Reagan's 99th birthday. As we begin the countdown to The Reagan Centennial let us pause to remember the strength, the courage, the integrity, the character, the warmth and the humor that made Ronald Reagan the quintessential American President.
Here are just a few favorite Ronald Reagan quotes, quips and memories:
Republicans believe every day is the 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15.
Politics is said to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the work that brought America back. My friends; We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. (From Ronald Reagan's farewell address, January 20th 1989.)

Wild Thing's comment........
While Obama is busy bowing and his Obama's apology tours, and doing all he can to turn the greatest country on this earth into a socialist and communist country. We will never forget President Reagan.
"You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." "There is a point beyond which they must not advance." And this—this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said, "The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we're spirits—not animals." And he said, "There's something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness."
"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs, which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell numbers..... And if there are those that cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way." Ronald Reagan.

Harry "I stopped the Patriot Act" Reid Runs Second To Four GOP Opponents
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Reid earning 39% to 41% of the vote against any of four GOP challengers. Still, that’s an improvement from last month when he picked up just 36% against his top two opponents. But Reid had 43% support against those two Republicans in December.
His Republican opponents, meanwhile, are not doing as well this month, down slightly from the 50% high they’ve hit in the previous surveys.
Businessman Danny Tarkanian now leads Reid 47% to 39%.
Sue Lowden, ex-chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, holds a 45% to 39% lead on the Senate majority leader, while former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle earns 44% of the vote to Reid’s 40%.
Nevada Lieutenant Governor Brian Krolicki, another Republican who is now reportedly considering entering the race, barely edges Reid 44% to 41%. A judge in December dismissed an indictment against Krolicki alleging that he mishandled money while serving as state treasurer. Krolicki charged that the indictment was politically motivated.

Wild Thing's comment.......
I'm glad Tark is ahead. Lowden is described as a "moderate" far too often and this isn't the year for party insiders.

Tea Partiers Go Big With Fundraising Campaign to Rival MoveOn.org
Tea Partiers Go Big With Fundraising Campaign to Rival MoveOn.org
By Jake Gibson
Eyeing the success of Moveon.org and other grassroots groups, the conservative-minded FreedomWorks, which has been at the frontline organizing tea partiers into a half-million strong membership, has announced ambitious plans on the fundraising front.
"(MoveOn) raised around $31 million in 2003. We're not sure we can raise that much, but think we can be in the multi-millions and be a major player in 2010," said Rob Jordan, FreedomWorks' vice president of federal and state campaigns.
On Monday, FreedomWorks brought together dozens of conservative activists from as far away as California, Arkansas, Ohio and Florida and put them in a room full of reporters, hoping to let the grassroots speak to the Washington establishment through the press.
"It's hot in Florida, Charlie Crist is on the run," said Thomas Gaiten, a Florida field coordinator for Freedom Works, who opposes the Florida governor's bid for the U.S. Senate seat.
"I'm arranging an event on February 10 for the one year anniversary of 'the stimulus hug,'" Gaiten said, referring to a hug between President Obama and Crist last year. Crist was an exuberant host and endorsed the president's $787 billion stimulus package, for which Crist is now under fire.
"The hug" is a moment that conservatives have flogged in Florida. A few months ago Crist was leading his Republican primary competitor, former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio, by 30 points. But the tea party movement in Florida has been aggressively organizing for Rubio both on the ground and on the Web and the latest polls show the two neck-and-neck.
Meanwhile in Arkansas, tea partiers are confident of ousting embattled Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who had wavered on the health care bill before supporting it in votes taken before Christmas
Lincoln "is out," said Rob Porto of Little Rock. "The only question is who is going to replace her, and we're still vetting prospective Republican candidates. We're planning a number of debates."
Greg Fettig drove the 600 miles from his native Indiana to give notice to incumbents that just because they are safe, they should be looking over their shoulder.
"I used to think I was alone, now I know there are others out there who want to stand up for fiscal conservatism," he said.
Fettig, who co-founded a group called "Hoosier Patriots," lives in the district of longtime Republican Rep. Dan Burton, but said he thinks it's time for Burton to go.
"He's got no fire. ... He's been there too long, people should just serve a term or two and then get out," he said.
The conservative, organic grassroots uprising is proving to be quite powerful, with Republicans all over the country scrambling to get in front of it, but the question remains whether the Republican Party will be able to harness it.
A National Tea Party Convention is scheduled for Nashville, Tenn., in early February with former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, a darling of the movement, as one of the featured speakers.

Scott Brown on ABC's This Week with Barbara Walters Pt 2 of 2
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Brown says he will vote as a "Fiscal Conservative," and will vote with the Republicans if they are pursuing fiscally conservative policies. But he told Walters he is an "Independent thinker," and will vote his conscience.
We have to remember he is not a full blown conservative, if he was he would not have been elected in Mass. BUT what I am thinking is this. He is anti 0bamacare, anti cap and trade, anti gluBULL warming, anti-amnesty for illegals, anti Miranda rights for terrorists, anti-bringing KSM to New York for trial, strong on fiscal conservatism etc. That is a heck of a lot better than plenty of Republican Senators and congresmen I could mention(Lindsay Graham and John McCain ) for example. And Brown did run on a conservative agenda, he better keep his ducks in a row.
So we will have to see along the way how he does. I am pulling for him because I do like his way of responding and keeping his cool plus the fact that his vote on so many of the important things I mentioned will matter greatly to our country.
My prayer is that after November, Republicans will have enough seats in the House and the US senate to stop any insane communist programs from 0bama every time.

Senator-elect Scott Brown On Jay Leno Show Last Night ( video )
Transcript:
JAY LENO: My guest and I have two things in common: We are both from Massachusetts and both known for our good looks. It's amazing, Kevin. This is when we ask ten questions. We call it '10 @ 10.'
Tonight, our special guest won a stunning victory to be the first Republican senator from Massachusetts in 30 years. Say hello to Senator-elect Scott Brown.
Scott, how are you doing?
SCOTT BROWN: Great, Jay. It's good to be on.
LENO: I just talked to him back stage for about two seconds. You told me something amazing. Your dad was a frequent guest in our home. My dad hired your dad, and he was the new young insurance agent. Your dad would come to my house when I was a kid.
BROWN: That's right. And apparently your folks named your dog 'Bruce' after my dad.
LENO: That's right. I did have a collie named 'Bruce' after his dad. Well, say 'hi' to your father for me. Give him my best.
BROWN: I sure will. I will, Jay. Thank you.
LENO: Now are you ready for these 10 hard-hitting questions?
BROWN: I think so.
LENO: All right. Here we go. Number one: First thing you do in the morning?
BROWN: Well, after I obviously clean up, I work out. I probably swim throughout the week probably two miles, I bike about 95, and I run probably 15 to 20 miles a week. So you divide that by five or six, and that's how it works out.
LENO: God, that's another thing we have in common. This is unbelievable. I can't believe it.
Question number two: Have you ever stolen anything?
BROWN: Yes, I did. When I was 12, I hate to tell you, but I stole some records up at Lechmere, up in Middleton-Danvers area, and I put 'em in my farmer jeans. I got caught and went to the judge's chambers.
He said, 'Hey, I see you like music. What else do you do?' I said, 'Well, I like basketball.' He said, 'Are you good?' I said, 'Yeah, I’m really good.' He said, 'Do you have any brothers or sisters?' I said, 'Yeah I do.' He said, 'Do they look up to you?' 'Yes.' 'Do they love you?' 'Yes.' 'Well, how do you think they'd like to see you play basketball in jail?' And he had me write a 1,500-word essay. I wrote it, and I haven't done anything like that since. And it's a good reminder.
LENO: There you go. Very good. Very good.
Now, question number three: It's been widely publicized that while you were attending law school you posed for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
BROWN: Yeah.
LENO: Now if you would ever run for president... (Shot of the centerfold) God, that's another thing we have in common. If you were to ever run for president, would you consider doing it again to get female voters?
BROWN: Well, that's an interesting question, Jay. And the only reason I did it back in 1982 is because you weren't available, number one.
Leno: Yeah, that's right.
BROWN: And then, obviously, it's almost 30 years later. I'd probably have to do it for Mature Senior or AARP Magazine. So it's a little different now.
LENO: See, I didn't do it because they didn't want to spring for the extra flap for the magazine. All right.
Number four: A friend of mine from Massachusetts told me that car dealerships are having Scott Brown specials. What does that mean to the car dealership?
BROWN: Well, there's two of them actually, Jay. One is that you can buy a used GMC Canyon and you get a special deal. The other one, Jay, is this right here. (Holds up official Scott Brown toy truck) You've got the official Scott Brown truck and you're going to get the first one. These are available, too. So...
LENO: Really?
BROWN: So, there's two things going on. I'm gonna get you the first one.
LENO: How many miles do you got on your truck?
BROWN: 202,000.
LENO: Wow! Very good. Very good.
Number five: What movie have you watched the most, and can you recite a line from it?
BROWN: Well, I like a lot, all movies, but I've watched probably Rocky, 1 through 30, Rambo, 1 through 25. So, obviously you know, 'Adrian, Adrian. We did it. I did it.' So...
LENO: There you go. All right. So, you like the art house films.
BROWN: Yeah, yeah, they're really deep.
LENO: Number six: Your opponent Martha Coakley made a huge mistake not knowing that Curt Schilling played for the Red Sox. I think she said the Yankees. What was your biggest campaign blunder?
BROWN: Oh, gosh. Well, aside from forgetting to take the dogs out and coming home to a very messy house, a couple of times I just made some verbal gaffes, but nothing to worry about. But certainly nothing like the Red Sox gaffe. Curt Schilling is definitely a Red Sox fan.
LENO: OK. Number seven: Did you have a nickname growing up?
BROWN: Yeah, they called me 'Downtown Scotty Brown' when I played basketball because I enjoyed shooting first of all, all the time, but secondly, from behind the three-point line. But the difference is when I played, I hate to say it, they didn't even have the three-point line.
LENO: All right. Here you go: When was last time you talked to the President? And could you beat him one-on-one in basketball? You're about the same age and he's pretty fit, too.
BROWN: Well, he looks like he's in great shape. It would certainly be a tough game. But the only time I spoke to him was election night. And I did challenge him to pick his best, and I'll take my daughter, Ayla, who plays for Boston College. And we challenged him to a little two-on-two. I think we'd have the upper hand.
LENO: Really? Really? All right. You heard it. So that is a, that is a challenge going out tonight.
BROWN: Yes, absolutely.
LENO: All right. You heard it. All right.
BROWN: It'll be fun.
LENO: All right.
Number nine: Unlike your former opponent, Martha Coakley, you are a big Red Sox fan. In 15 seconds, can you name the starting five pitchers for the Red Sox in 2010? Starting five pitchers--
BROWN: Well, it's obviously up in the air a little bit. But you have Lester, Lackey, Buchholz, Beckett and Wakefield or... Let me see here, yeah, probably Wakefield or Daisuke.
LENO: All right. Very good, very good. OK.
Last question: A B or C-- When your daughters heard you say on election night that they are available, they were A) embarrassed, B) they laughed it off, C) got over 500 phone calls from John Edwards?
BROWN: I'd have to go with B. They laughed it off, and then they yelled at me. So...
LENO: There you go. Senator Brown, congratulations. Thank you for coming on.
BROWN: Thank you.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Scott Brown is so unflappable .. that trait will serve him really really well in DC.
Leno and Brown are from Massachusetts and their fathers know each other. Jay's dog when he was a kid was named after the Scott's father.

Justice Alito Mouths 'not true' During Obama's Speech ~ Kudos to Justice Alito!
Justice Alito mouths 'not true'
POLITICO's Kasie Hunt, who's in the House chamber, reports that Justice Samuel Alito mouthed the words "not true" when President Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court's campaign finance decision.
"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong."
The shot of the black-robed Supreme Court justices, stone-faced, was priceless.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stood up behind the justices and clapped vigorously while Alito shook his head and quietly mouthed his discontent.
Schumer and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md) are trying to find a way to legislate around the Supreme Court decision.
"All you have to do is read the dissent, the four justices who said this will defintely open the floodgates to big corporate special interests. Anybody who thinks that's not true is out of touch with the American political process." Van Hollen said.
Van Hollen told POLITICO he expects to unveil the package in the next 10 days to two weeks.
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was glad the president called out the Supreme Court.
"He [Alito] deserved to be criticized, if he didn't like it he can mouth whatever they want," Weiner said. "These Supreme Court justices sometimes forget that we live in the real world. They got a real world reminder tonight, if you make a boneheaded decision, someone's going to call you out on it."
But one conservative legal expert took sides with Alito .
“The President’s swipe at the Supreme Court was a breach of decorum, and represents the worst of Washington politics — scapegoating ‘special interest’ bogeymen for all that ails Washington in attempt to silence the diverse range of speakers in our democracy,” said Bradley A. Smith, chairman of the Center for Competitive Politics, in The Corner blog on Nationalreview.com.
.
Sean Hannity talking with Sarah Palin tonight about President Obama's berating of the Supreme Court during his State of the Union Address. They watched a clip of Justice Alito shaking his head and mouthing "Not true" when Obama slammed the Court's decision to allow American Corporations to have free speech rights in political campaigns.
Afterwards, Palin criticized Obama's behavior in "embarrassing the court" during the speech, and said he was not "respecting the Separation of Powers" in doing so.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
This is going to get big very, very fast. Already on Drudge, Politico, and NRO within 10 minutes of completion of speech! The people will be behind Alito on this one, not the pretender in chief.
This has to be the most ignorant idiot! To chastise the SCOTUS in front of anyone, especially a national audience is unbelievable!
Besides the shots at President Bush and the Republican’s - Obama offended the military and the Justices of the Supreme Court sitting right in front of him. What an arrogant asshole - I hope he is made to regret these moves last night.
That makes 2 speeches where his audience has called him a liar....GOD Bless Joe Wilson and Justice Alito.
Here is where Obama calls for repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy. Watch the reaction from the invited members of our military.

Sarah Palin to Join Representative Bachmann on the Campaign Trail
U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) announced today that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will come to Minnesota to assist Bachmann's re-election campaign on April 7, 2010.
"There is absolutely no one more in tune with the hearts and minds of everyday Americans than Governor Palin, and I'm excited to welcome her back to our beautiful state this spring," Bachmann said.
Both Governor Palin and Congresswoman Bachmann are well-known and respected conservative leaders whose bold and unwavering stances in defending the U.S. Constitution and commonsense approaches to issues like health care, taxes and government bailouts have attracted millions to their message.
"It didn't take the American people long to see through the extreme liberal agenda of President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress," Bachmann said. "We saw American's frustration start in the form of tea party protests in states from coast to coast. It continued with the health care town halls throughout last summer. But we saw it come into full focus yesterday in conservative Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, taking back a Senate seat that was held by Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy for decades. The American people have spoken, and the momentum is clearly at the backs of conservatives heading into the 2010 elections."

House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-OH) Delivers Weekly Republican Address
Delivering the weekly Republican address, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) provides a prebuttal to President Obamas upcoming State of the Union address. Boehner says Republican Scott Brown's victory in the Massachusetts special election gives Washington Democrats a choice: work with Republicans to create jobs and get our economy moving again or double down on the job-killing policies that are making matters worse. Boehner also outlines Republicans better solutions to address todays challenges, including a no-cost jobs plan and the only health care bill that would lower premiums up to 10 percent.
Boehner said earlier this week that health care is not as dead as he wanted it to be.
Boehner: "Nearly a year ago the President signed into law a trillion dollar stimulus with promises that jobs would be created immediately and that unemployment would stay below 8%, since then roughly 3 million people have lost their jobs........
We know that Washington Democrats will pull out all the stops to try and shove this government takeover of health care with its Medicare cuts and tax hikes and if there's a sweetheart deal that needs to be cut, Democrats wil cut it, if there's a vote that needs to be bought, they'll buy it
So at the State of the Union, we'll listen to what the President has to say, but make no mistake, if the powers that be keep turning their backs on the people, Republicans will continue to challenge the the status quo"

Obama on Scott Brown Win: "We Ran Into a Buzz Saw This Week"
.
White House nightmare persists
At the end of Barack Obama’s worst week since taking power a year ago, the US president’s fortunes look set only to deteriorate over the coming days. Obama has just four days to reboot the system.
The US president had originally delayed next week’s State of the Union address to Congress in the hope he would get his signature healthcare reform bill enacted in time. That prospect, already waning, was killed dead by the voters in Massachusetts. A growing number of Democrats believe the nine-month effort could collapse altogether.
The death of the healthcare effort would rob Mr Obama of what he had hoped would be the centrepiece of his first State of the Union message. “It now looks extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get anything resembling a broad healthcare bill out of Congress,” said Scott Lilley, a senior fellow at the liberal Centre for American Progress, the think-tank that is closest to the White House. “In his State of the Union, Obama has to slim down his ambitions. It should be short and simple and focus on jobs.”
Republicans are in even less of a mood to co-operate with Democrats than before. The difference is that with 41 seats in the Senate they are in a position to block almost anything Mr Obama proposes – including the Wall Street regulatory measures he announced on Thursday.
“Obama has to decide whether he wants to be a transformational president, which looks optimistic at this stage, or merely an effective president,” says Bruce Josten, head of government affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce, which has spent tens of millions of dollars opposing healthcare. “My advice would be that he pick up the phone and ask for Bill Clinton’s advice on how to recover from a situation like this.”
Nor can Mr Obama rely on unity within his own party, which has been in disarray, if not panic, since Tuesday. For example, Mr Obama’s more populist tack on Wall Street re-regulation failed to attract endorsement from Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate banking committee, even though he was present when Mr Obama made the announcement.
Worse, most people do not think Mr Obama can even command unity within his own administration on the Wall Street proposals amid growing speculation about whether Tim Geithner, the Treasury secretary, can survive in his job. Mr Geithner was conspicuously sidelined during Thursday’s announcement by the presence of Paul Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, who lent his name to the push to rein in Wall Street banks.
The speculation about Mr Geithner is only likely to grow. “The Obama proposals were clearly politically motivated and came from the White House not the Treasury,” says a Democratic adviser to the administration, who withheld his name.
Finally, there is increasingly open Democratic disaffection about the way Mr Obama is managing relations with Capitol Hill. Many believe that Rahm Emanuel, Mr Obama’s aggressive chief of staff, served Mr Obama badly by persuading the president that his election was a transformational moment in US politics that gave him the opportunity to push through long-cherished Democratic goals, such as healthcare reform.
In fact, exit polls from Mr Obama’s election showed that almost two-thirds of the voters cited the economy as their chief concern, with fewer than one in 10 mentioning healthcare. Mr Emanuel is also perceived to have mishandled the day-to-day logistics of getting healthcare through Congress.
By leaving the scripting of the details of the healthcare bill to Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill, the White House openly courted the risk of chaos. Tellingly, in his victory speech in Boston on Tuesday, Scott Brown, the new Republican senator, cited voter disdain for the sight of lots of “old men” on Capitol Hill bickering over healthcare reform at a time when their priority was jobs.
“I haven’t seen Rahm Emanuel except on television,” Jim Pascrell, a Democratic lawmaker from New Jersey, told Politico, the news website, on Friday. “We used to see him a lot; I’d like him to come out from behind his desk and meet with the common folk.”
In short, Mr Obama’s nightmare January could easily slip into a nightmare February. “Unless and until the president changes the way his White House, works, things are going to continue to go badly for him,” says the head of a Democratic think-tank. “Heads still have to roll.”
.

J.D. Hayworth: 'Time For (McCain) to Come Home'
Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth says he's planning to challenge Arizona's current senior Senator, John McCain, during the upcoming Republican primary election. CNN reports:
The former six-term congressman stepped down Friday as host of his conservative talk radio program on a radio station in Phoenix.
"We will formally announce at a later time, but we're moving forward to challenge John McCain," Hayworth told the Associated Press. "I think we all respect John. I think his place in history is secure. But after close to a quarter-century in Washington, it's time for him to come home." ...
Hayworth told AP that a recent "outpouring of support" from people in Arizona asking him to run changed his mind about challenging McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee and four-term senator who's up for re-election this year.
McCain's already facing a primary challenge from Chris Simcox, a co-founder of the Minuteman movement. Simcox announced his candidacy last April and then resigned from the volunteer organization, which tries to prevent illegal crossings of the U.S. border. McCain's past support of immigration reform legislation in Congress nearly derailed his presidential bid two years ago.
And, as I noted earlier this week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be appearing in Arizona to fundraise for her old running mate. Should be an interesting election to watch down in Arizona.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I hope J.D. shows McCain's record on opposing Bush’s tax cuts.
McCain is done.His weakness saddled America with the worst president the nation HAS EVER HAD! I guess Sarah Palin feels she owes McCain for introducing her to the national scene. McCain needs to take some advice and retire.

The Young Conservatives New Song
Young Conservatives is a group with a devout mission to spread the love and logic surrounding true conservatism. Our greatest enemy lies in the lack of understanding of the conservative movement. In a technological era driven fiercely by the main stream media, those who vocalize the true conservative message of individual responsibility, moral absolutes, and small government are slanted as intolerant, racist, "bible and gun clinging", corporate fat cats who could not care less about the environment nor the well being of their fellow man. Being Christian or conservative or a combination of the two is viewed as unpopular in American Society. This group clearly proves otherwise.
Wild Thing's comment........
The message is great . They can reach tons of people in a unique way, instead of the kool-aid Obama idiots that have no clue who our Founding Fathers even are.

Conservative Scott Baio (Actor) Receives Death Threats Over Michelle Obama Photo On Twitter
Scott Baio Receives Death Threats Over Michelle Obama 'Joke'
By Hollie McKay
Scott Baio, who supported Scott Brown in Massachusetts, received death threats this week after he posted an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama on twitter.
Former “Happy Days” star Scott Baio claims he has been barraged with death threats and accused of being a racist after posting an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama on Twitter along with the caption “WOW He wakes up to this every morning.”
HERE is Scott's Tweeter Page...his main page
And this is his page where the photo of Michelle Obama is located
Outraged users reportedly responded with angry Tweets such as “Scott Baio should be PUT DOWN and someone will PUT YOU DOWN.YOU; your WIFE and KID.” Another Tweeter even went as far as to alter an image of Baio’s young child with the caption “this is what Scott Baio wakes up [to].” That photo has since been removed.
The controversy began after Baio had been Tweeting support for Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown Wednesday. He then decided to post the photo of Obama, before insisting it was all intended to be good fun.
“For New followers: I POST A LOT OF JOKES WITH PICS. They are JUST that, a joke. NOT targeting anyone. Laughter IS the best medicine.”
The actor was also quick to defend himself from accusations that he was racist.
“I’m NOT racist for posting a pic of M.O. My WIFE’S BEST FRD IS BLACK, HELLO,” he Tweeted. “If YOU are born in AMERICA, U ARE AN AMERICAN. I don’t insist on being called Italian-American. Therefore Black Amer are not Afr-Amer. Or that would mean people (white or black) born in Africa would be called African-Africans … Just a thought to think about… If I’m racist, don’t think I would have Directed shows like The Parkers & The Wayans Bros. or worked 41 eps w/ Victoria Rowell on D.Murder.”
Baio then attempted to demonstrate his point of double standards further by reminding followers that just this week Jennifer Lopez insulted Sarah Palin.
“HATRED or RACIST??- Jennifer Lopez Calls Sarah Palin a Crazy B*tch on George Lopez Show!!!!," he posted. Lopez used the description "la cabrona," which is Spanish slang for “b**tch.”
Baio also said the threats had been reported to the FBI.
.
Scott Baio Gets Death Threats on Twitter After Posting Michelle Obama Joke
After the former Charles in Charge star, 48, posted an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama on his Twitter page, he was bombarded with angry replies from fans and enemies alike.
Some called the actor -- who has often used his Twitter page to speak out about his Republican beliefs -- an "a**hole" and many said his post was racist.
Baio, however, insisted the post was just a joke and shared screenshots of several death threats he received.
"Easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish you," one commenter wrote while another threatened to harm his wife and family.
Below, take a look at the drama as it unfolded from start to finish -- and caused his followers to skyrocket to nearly 5,000 people -- on Baio's Twitter page:
-I did NOT alter that picture. Stop bashing my Charity just because I post an unflattering pic of a woman. Grow up ppl, have some humor.
-Hello, I'm Scott Baio & if you post ANY LIBS picture on Twitter, they will try to bury you. Because their skin is VERY thin.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Good grief, it is NOT a photo shop picture doctored up. Heck we have all seen that photo a million times even on TV. That is what Michelle Obama's photo looks like, I think it was during the campaign last year.
Obama worshipers are mentally unbalanced.

Snarlin’ Arlen Specter Insults Awesome Michele Bachmann on Radio Program
The exchange, broadcast on 1210 AM’s Dom Giordano Show [but not archived on the station's site], began when Specter challenged Bachmann to articulate what, exactly, she stands for.
Bachmann first laid out her agenda — cutting taxes and killing President Obama’s health reform bill — at considerable length.
Sen. Arlen Specter yesterday on a Philadelphia radio program telling GOP Rep. Michelle Bachmann to "act like lady."
Specter seemed to lose it as he debated Michelle Bachmann. He told her "Don't interrupt me, I didn't interrupt you. Act like a lady." He told her that twice during the exchange.
Bachmann responded with, "I am a lady." The two were appearing on Dom Giordano's radio program.
Bachmann: "I Was Patronized And Basically Told To Sit Down And Shut Up"

Wild Thing's comment........
This just shows he’s no gentleman. The ugly Dems can have him. He belongs in their swamp.
Specter is SOOOOOO gone after this year! What a jerk, in ANY party.
He said something similar and equally stupid to Laura Ingraham during a radio interview. (02/09/2009 )
from Newsbusters
In an interview with Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, Pa., on Feb. 9, talk show host Laura Ingraham asked why he and Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are the only three out of 229 Republican members of Congress to support the stimulus. She inquired if it might have had something to do with being invited to the White House by President Barack Obama.
"Is it nice to be wined and dined at the White House?" Ingraham asked. "And, you're treated pretty well when you're a Republican bucking other Republicans, right Senator?"
“Now let’s get off it Laura,” Specter replied. “I’m not drinking any wine at the White House and I don’t dine at the White House. If the president wants to talk to me - I talk to him and I make my own independent judgment. Don’t give me the wine and dine baloney young lady.”
Specter did attend a Super Bowl party hosted by the White House on Feb. 1 as the only Republican member in attendance.

Scott Brown's Speech and Others Reactions
Scott Brown, his wife and their two daughters after the WIN!
Various sources and thank you Bray.
.
Senator Scott Brown:
And as a Boston College basketball player you know she’s pretty good on the court. And, the reason I bring that up is because when I spoke to the president tonight, I asked the president because he has a couple of basketball courts there. When I spoke to the president the first thing I said was would you like me to drive the truck down to Washington so you could see it? …And, then I said Mr. President I know you like basketball so I tell you what, why don’t you pick your best player and I’ll take Ayla and we’ll take you on in two on two.
.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh commented on Scott Brown’s win last night.
This one’s for you, Mary Jo. We of good cheer should offer our friends on the other side of the aisle some good advice: DON’T CHANGE A THING. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE PRESIDENT. SUPPORT THE STRATEGY OF REID AND PELOSI.
.
And this from Mark Levin.
"tonight was a tremendous victory for Americans and liberty and a huge loss for Obama and statism."
.
.
From Sarah Palin : Mr. Brown Goes to Washington... In a Pick-up Truck, No Less!
Congratulations to the new Senator-elect from Massachusetts! Scott Brown’s victory proves that the desire for real solutions transcends notions of “blue state” and “red state”. Americans agree that we need to hold our politicians accountable and bring common sense to D.C.
Recent elections have taught us that when a party in power loses its way, the American people will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Today under the Democrats, government spending is up nearly 23 percent and unemployment is higher than it’s been in a quarter of a century. For the past year they’ve built a record of broken promises, fat cat bailouts, closed-door meetings with lobbyists, sweetheart deals for corporate cronies, and midnight votes on weekends for major legislation that wasn’t even read. The good citizens of Massachusetts reminded Democrats not to take them for granted.
Americans cheered for Scott Brown’s underdog campaign because they viewed his candidacy as a vote against the Democrats’ health care bill. You know that there’s something wrong with this legislation when opposition to it inspired a Republican victory in a state that currently has no Republicans in Congress and last sent a Republican to the Senate nearly 40 years ago.
Clearly this victory is a bellwether for the big election night ten months from now. In the spirit of bipartisanship, let me offer some advice to the Democrats on how to stem this populist tide. Scrap your current health care bill and start from scratch. We all want true reform, but government mandated insurance is not it. Scott Brown campaigned against this top-down bureaucratic mess. We need common sense solutions like reforming malpractice laws, allowing people to purchase insurance across state lines, giving individual purchasers the same tax benefits as those who get coverage through their employers, and letting small businesses pool together to provide insurance for their employees. Focus your efforts on jobs, not on job-killing legislation. Such a change in approach would show Americans that you’re listening.
My best wishes to Senator-Elect Brown. When you go to Washington, may you never forget the ordinary citizens you met while driving that truck through the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
.
Barney Frank (D-MA) released this statement following Brown's win.
"I have two reactions to the election in Massachusetts. One, I am disappointed. Two, I feel strongly that the Democratic majority in Congress must respect the process and make no effort to bypass the electoral results.
If Martha Coakley had won, I believe we could have worked out a reasonable compromise between the House and Senate health care bills. But since Scott Brown has won and the Republicans now have 41 votes in the Senate, that approach is no longer appropriate.
I am hopeful that some Republican senators will be willing to discuss a revised version of health care reform because I do not think that the country would be well served by the healthcare status quo.
But our respect for democratic procedures must rule out any effort to pass a health care bill as if the Massachusetts election had not happened.
Going forward, I hope there will be a serious effort to change the Senate rule which means that 59 votes are not enough to pass major legislation, but those are the rules by which the health care bill was considered, and it would be wrong to change them in the middle of this process."
.
This is Scott Brown's entire speech from last night.

“I am hopeful that some Republican senators will be willing to discuss a revised version of health care reform because I do not think that the country would be well served by the healthcare status quo.”
So now he needs Republicans to come to the table on health control? I don’t think so Barney.
He acts like closed door politics never happened and suddenly he got some soul. Go to hell Barney.
Barney Frank is going in to a panicked CYA mode!! Watch the roaches scurry for cover, now.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!! Barney will face voters from the same pool that voted against Obama's agenda. And Croakley was the bag tossed in Boston Harbor!!
While listening to Scott’s acceptance speech and the crowd is chanting, 41, 41, 41... people’s seat, people’s seat... seat him now, seat him now, seat him now.
The Second American Revolution Has Started!
Americans are not born to be slaves to an all-powerful government that makes your every decision. We threw those shackles off starting in Boston, Normandy and Iwo Jima and are about to do it again. This will be a nuclear detonation that will show the world these Tea Patriots are a force that can no longer be ignored. We are on the march for Lady Liberty exposing communist oppression in every corner of this land. Americans need their freedom and are tired of the Stalinist tactics that they have been exposed to in every facet of their lives.
Why should we be running from our beliefs when they are based on giving everybody as much freedom as possible. We are the Minutemen fighting the Redcoats in one of the great battles of America's history. There is no surrender in this one 'cause it's to the death of either the DNC or America. Once we capture one hill we have to capture the next for the rest of our lives.
We are fighting in the fields of the Internet and Town halls. We are fighting it with words and ideas against the liberal establishment that has beaten us back for decades. We have the founders bracing our backs as we take on modern oppressive Redcoats like Global Warming, Death Care, Taxes, Racism, Energy, Abortion and every other issue that they have used as weapons against America. We must fight the lies by charging straight into them to withstand the volleys that will come our way. They will use their Stalinist thug tactics to try to divide and conquer by dehumanizing, yet this is too important, our legacy depends on it. We are Jefferson, Washington, Hamilton, Paine and Revere, this is the rebirth of our Republic to the founders original design. This ragtag group of Freedom Fighters has grown into an army becoming a movement. We are all Revolutionaries now.
The Liberty Tree was watered tonight and not with blood, but with our combined political will. God bless our founders and those brilliant men who wrote our Constitution. We all must protect it.

The Scott Heard 'Round the World ~ EPIC UPSET! The PEOPLE Have Spoken!
Fox News announcing that Scott Brown has won the Massachusetts Senate Seat over Martha Coakley. Brett Baier announced that the AP had called it for Brown and that Coakley has called and conceded.
.
.
GOP's Brown wins Mass. Senate seat in epic upset
The Associated Press has called the Massachusetts Senate Race for Scott Brown!
BOSTON – In an epic upset in liberal Massachusetts, Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to defeat Democrat Martha Coakley in a U.S. Senate election Tuesday that left President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in doubt and marred the end of his first year in office.
The loss by the once-favored Coakley for the seat that the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy held for nearly half a century signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.
Various headlines:
Obama Towns Are Flipping To Scott Brown. Early Night, Folks
NRO
In 2008, Ashland, Massachusetts went for Obama over McCain, 5,039 votes to 3,181. Tonight Brown won Ashland 54 percent to 45 percent - 3,467 for Brown while Coakley carried 2,897.
Coakley’s Press Release Charging Ballot Fraud Was Written Yesterday
Boston Globe reports that Coakley calls to concede!
Coakley adviser memo: D.C. Dems 'failed' Coakley
Politico headline!
The adviser, who cited internal polling numbers to make the case, e-mails that, "There’s more to the story than that. If Martha is guilty of taking the race for granted, so is the White House and the DNC."
Massachusetts Miracle! Yes!
Coakley Concedes!! Brown the Winner!! America the Winner!!
COAKLEY JUST CONCEDED BY TELEPHONE TO BROWN (Drudge Report Headline)
Obama is not the Messiah. He's more like the hula hoop; a flash in the pan. He has been revealed to the American center as too far out on the left wing.
OBAMA'S FIRST GUT CHECK
NBC: Coakley has called Brown to concede
Massachusetts: Olbermann Cries Racism
from Newsbusters
Amidst the innumerable excuses we're bound to hear for tonight's Massachusetts election results, credit Keith Olbermann with likely the most loathsome. The Countdown host would explain things away by accusing Brown supporters of . . . racism. [H/t reader Will H.] Olbermann floated his despicable theory to Howard Fineman: "the Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens with Scott Brown tonight whether he wins or comes close is a repudiation of Obama policies. And surely one of Obama's policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is it's OK to have this sea-change in American history

Obama Bashes Brown and Scott Browns Crowd and Support Grows Stronger
Republican Scott Brown is a regular guy who drives a truck with nearly 200,000 miles on it. He says the truck has brought him closer to the people as he’s traveled around Massachusetts during the special election.
Barack Obama campaigned for Martha Coakley in Boston and bashed Scott Brown and truck owners several times during his speech. Obama told the crowd, “Anybody can own a truck.”
.
Scott Brown responded to the president’s attack.
Obama warned Massachusetts voters Sunday from following Republican Scott Brown's old pickup truck around the state, saying if elected to the U.S. Senate, Brown will drive health care and the rest of the Democratic agenda off track.
In a quip he repeated several times during a campaign appearance for Democrat Martha Coakley, Obama mocked the man who has been driving a pickup truck around the state, claiming he's a "lockstep" Republican.
"Martha's opponent already is walking in lockstep with Washington Republicans," Obama said, criticizing Brown for opposing the president's proposed tax on Wall Street. "She's got your back, her opponent's got Wall Street's back. Bankers don't need another vote in the United States Senate. They've got plenty. Where's yours?"
Obama also took jabs at Brown's signature vehicle, and his "slick ads."
"So look, forget the ads, everybody can't can slick ads. Forget the truck. Everyone can buy a truck."
Brown took that opportunity to slam the president on government spending..
“Mr. President, unfortunately in this economy, not everybody can buy a truck,” Brown said in a statement. “My goal is to change that by cutting spending, lowering taxes and letting people keep more of their own money.”
.
It holds 3,000 and frankly only 2,000 to 2,500 showed up.”
Martha Coakley and Barack Obama held a rally today in Boston. They couldn’t fill the hall at a university.
Carl Cameron was at the hall in Boston and said that Coakley and Obama couldn’t fill it up.
.
Scott Brown draws much bigger crowd!!!
It took three venues to hold all of the supporters yesterday.
Scott Brown filled the 1600 seat Mechanics Hall, a 700 seat ballroom at the Crown Plaza Hotel, and the nearby 500 person capacity Osgood Bradley Building yesterday for the Massachusetts People’s Rally.
1600 people inside Mechanics Hall
600 people inside the Crown Plaza (Streaming)
400 at Worchester Headquarters, (Steaming) they actually watched the event on Streaming video
"Several Hundred" outside Mechanics Hall
Total in all around 10,000 people fired up about protecting their country. People do the wave at a massive rally that was the SCOTT heard around the world.
.
.
Scott Brown’s spech:
Thank you very much. What a privilege it is to share the stage with John Ratzenberger, Lenny Clarke, Doug Flutie, Curt Schilling, Fred Smerlas, Steve DeOssie, and many, many others – and my favorite singer, Ayla Brown.
As you know, Curt Schilling made the news just a couple of days ago when my opponent didn’t recognize his name. Of all the many false accusations she’s made in this campaign, one of the strangest was to call Curt Schilling a Yankee fan. Let me properly identify the guy she’s been smearing on the radio: His name is Curt Schilling, formerly of the World Champion Red Sox – you know, a baseball team that plays at Fenway Park
Doug Flutie, what can I say, great guy, great career, and I am proud you are here. John Ratzenberger, a wonderful actor, you brought a lot of laughs to us during your many years with Cheers. Fred and Steve, you are legends and good friends. Ayla, thank you for again sharing your beautiful voice. Millions have seen her on national TV, and going through this campaign I've got an idea of what Ayla went through on "American Idol." She had to deal with Simon Cowell, and I had to deal with David Gergen.
Our campaign is going strong, and the finish line is in sight. The day of decision is almost here. The whole nation is watching, but the choice on Election Day belongs to you and no one else. Friends and fellow citizens, I'm Scott Brown, I'm from Wrentham, I drive a truck and I'm asking for your vote.
When we started this campaign just a few months ago, the political machine wrote us off. A Senate seat in Massachusetts, we were told, was already spoken for - and this special election was just a minor detail that wouldn't get in the way. The political machine already had a short-term placeholder in the Senate. Now all they needed was a long-term placeholder, and everything had been arranged.
Well, there was just one little problem with that plan - the independent-thinking people of Massachusetts wanted a real choice, and they - and you -- have made this a real contest.
The voters are doing their own thinking, and the machine politicians don't quite know how to react. So they put in a distress call to Washington, and the next thing you know, Air Force One is landing at Logan.
My first response is very simple: Democrat or Republican, the president of the United States is always welcome in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Now, it wasn't exactly a scheduled visit. Sort of a last-minute thing. The political machine controlled that Senate, he was told, and it was going to stay that way.
Well, the party bosses gave the president some bad information. This Senate seat belongs to no one person and no one political party - it belongs to the people of Massachusetts.
Maybe they also told President Obama that I had no chance at all. After all, who ever heard of guy from Wrentham getting elected to the U.S. Senate? But as the president might remember, upsets like that have been known to happen.
The president may recall as well how much he used to talk about a new kind of politics - about campaigns based on conviction, instead of just false and small-minded negative ads. Well, as long as he's paying a visit, he might want to talk to Martha about that. Not only are her ads negative, they are malicious. How quickly the politics of hope have become replaced by the politics of desperation. Shame on Martha.
Before the president rushed to the scene, we saw my opponent standing with a former president, the governor, the senior senator, the appointed senator - the whole party establishment, right on down the line.
At the beginning, it felt like me against the machine. But guess what? I was wrong. It's us against the machine.
I don't need an establishment to prop me up. I stand before you as the proud candidate of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents across Massachusetts, north and south, east and west.
The party machine is in high gear for my opponent. The establishment is afraid of losing their Senate seat. You can all remind them that this is not their seat, it is yours.
Should I have the honor of representing our state in Washington, D.C., I will serve no faction but Massachusetts. I will pursue no agenda but what is right. I will be nobody's senator but yours.
One of the great advantages of being independent is that you meet voters of every kind. And you learn what people are really thinking about the big issues facing our state and our country. The political experts are still wondering how this little campaign of ours grew so fast and gathered so much strength and momentum. The reason is simple.
We do not want a senator whose only question on health care is to ask Harry Reid, "How do you want me to vote?" Massachusetts wants real reform, and not this trillion-dollar Obama health care bill being forced on the American people.
This bill would raise taxes. It would cut Medicare by half a trillion dollars. It would be unfair to our veterans. It would destroy jobs, and run our nation deeper into debt. It is not in the interest of our state or country - and as your senator, I will insist we start over.
I will work in the Senate to reform health care in the right way, the honest way. No more closed-door meetings behind the scenes. No more arrogant party leadership. We can do better, and as the 41st senator I'll make sure of it.
In health care, we need to start fresh, work together, and do the job right.
On the question of taxes, my opponent this week endorsed yet another tax increase. She summed up her whole approach by saying, quote, "We need to get taxes up."
She has it exactly wrong: We need to get job creation up, and taxes down. I will work in the Senate to put government back on the side of people who create jobs - and as John F. Kennedy taught us, that starts with a tax cut for the American people.
As a lieutenant colonel and 30-year member of the Army National Guard, I will keep faith with all who serve, and with our veterans, too. I will work in the Senate to defend our nation's interests and to keep our military second to none.
In our debate, my opponent insisted that there are no longer any terrorists in Afghanistan. Maybe the president can pull her aside today and explain the basics: There are still many terrorists in Afghanistan, Martha! They are at war with the United States, and for the safety of this nation we must defeat them
As an attorney, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.
Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the agenda of a new establishment in Washington. And they think you're on board with all of it. They think they own your vote. They're sure they can't lose. But on Election Day, the Bay State will set them straight.
We are witnesses, you and I, to something historic. We have run a race never to be forgotten. We are in a cause that deserves all that we can give it. In these final forty-eight hours, let us see it through to victory.
All along, I have counted on the goodwill and support of independent-minded people like you, and never more than right now. I ask for any help you can give, and above all for the honor of your vote.
In return, I make this pledge to you and to every citizen of Massachusetts: If I am entrusted with the people's seat, I will give everything that is in me to be a good and faithful senator, and to make you proud.
Thank you all very much.

It is a tsunami against Obamunism. Let us lock and load and take no prisoners.
“Well, according to PPP Obama and Clinton campaigning for Coakley resulted in Brown increasing his lead."
Lamentations from the DailyKos. Heck, I could have told them that the Obumbler would be the kiss of death to Coakley's campaign. He's piling up a real stack of losses.
PPP = Public Policy Polling it is a leftist polling group from my understanding of it.
I hope and pray we can all do the Snoopy Beagle Happy Dance after the election. A Republican replacing a Kennedy would be historic.

Democrats Try Attack On Brown and They Fail
.
Obama's Mother "very single when she had him"-Michelle Obama 7-10-08
The democrats have sprung a last minute "gotcha" video of Scott Brown saying he wasn't sure if Obama's mother was married at the time of his birth.
"Barack saw his mother, who was very young and very single when she had him, and he saw her work hard to complete her education and try to raise he and his sister."
This took place at a speech at the July 10th 2008 round table discussion at Pierson Auditorium on the campus of the University of Missouri - Kansas City.

Wild Thing's comment........
So this the big bomb the rats have against Scott? LOL
While the discussion was supposedly about Sarah being the best VP choice, the conversation turned to Sarah and her daughter Bristol being maligned by the host for having poor family values and having corrupted morals, though after she mentioned it she said "I am not saying the Palin family has corrupted morals." So why even bring it up? Scott proceeded to defend Sarah and her family from such attacks, saying the father will be there to help out, and at one point he compared the situation to Obama's young mother being 18 years old when she gave birth to him, to which the host interrupted by saying "and married" and Scott smiled and said, "well, I don't know about that."
This is nothing but BS. Michelle has talked about Obama being born from a young single mother, so if they want to make fools of themselves, let them.
LMAO so actually the headline should read...... Democrats accuse Scott Brown of Plagiarizing Michele Obama.

Purple Shirted SEIU Members Holding Signs For Scott Brown
They are Brown supporters and not happy their Union is supporting Martha.
.
Handicapped SEIU Member Barred from Coakley/Clinton Rally; Secret Service Forcibly Remove Foreign Coakley Supporter
.Bill Clinton/Martha Coakley rally at Worcester Polytechnical Institute. Not only was he forbidden access to the handicapped ramp-the only way he could enter the auditorium- but he wasn't the only SEIU member to show up in support of Scott Brown:
.
Here is former President Clinton leaving WPI. Please note, nobody is outside cheering for him, let alone Coakley.
This was at the Bill Clinton/Martha Coakley rally at WPI in Worcester Massachusetts 1/15/09
.
Mass. Democrat/state Attorney General Martha Coakley can’t keep the vote of a sheet metal worker/union member she paid to hold signs for her.
Not realizing he was being video taped, a member of the "Sheet Metal Workers" union, Local 17, admits that he was being forced to come down to hold a sign, but he's at least being paid $50. He also openly admits that he's voting for Brown, then promptly "high-5's
And despite her “law and order” platform, she can’t keep the votes of police unions, either. Not even one affiliated with her Purple Shirt patrons at the SEIU.
The Worcester Telegram reports:
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown yesterday accepted the endorsement of the Police Department’s two major unions.
Local 911, New England Police Benevolent Association, and Local 504, International Brotherhood of Police Officers, handed their endorsement to the state senator. The endorsement comes one day after a debate in which Mr. Brown and his main opponent, Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley, squared off. The special election to fill the seat formerly held by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy will be held Tuesday.
Sgt. Donald E. Cummings, president of Local 504, said Mr. Brown’s service in the National Guard shows that he knows the threat of terrorism is real, and understands the role public safety personnel play in protecting residents.
Stephen Gunnerson, president of Local 911 patrolmen’s union, called Mr. Brown a “tireless advocate for public safety.” He cited Mr. Brown’s support for Jessica’s Law and Haley’s Bill and his support for sex offender and CORI reform.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
OH wow, this is a slap in the face of Coakley .
Mark told about the union worker that told about being paid by Coakley but even so he was voting for Scott Brown. hahaha
And the Boston Globe is owned by the NYTimes and is solidly liberal. They’ve been running puff pieces on Martha and the readers are seeing right through them. Lots of anger about ObamaCare and the runaway spending in D.C.
....Thank you Mark for sharing about this.

Scott Brown to File Criminal Complaint against MassDems
Scott Brown Campaign filed a complaint against the Democratic Party for spreading lies that Scott Brown would not allow rape victims to receive treatment. They are giving the Massachusetts Democratic Party until Tuesday morning to renounce the lies against Scott Brown.
Dan Winslow, Brown campaign counsel, spoke to reporters about the campaign’s filing of a criminal complaint against the Massachusetts Democratic Party regarding a recent mailing paid for and sent by the Massachusetts Democratic Party.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Felix Browne
January 16, 2010 617-335-8333
MEDIA ADVISORY FOR TODAY
Dan Winslow, counsel for the Scott Brown for U.S. Senate campaign, will hold a media availability to announce the filing of a criminal complaint against the Massachusetts Democratic Party regarding a recent mailing paid for and sent by the Massachusetts Democratic Party. Winslow will make a statement and take reporters' questions at MassGOP Headquarters in Boston TODAY at 4:00 PM.

It’s not the first time they’ve filed charges…..
The Scott Brown Campaign filed charges against the SEIU in December.
BOSTON - Republican Senate hopeful Scott Brown has filed a complaint with the State Ethics Commission after a report that a union backing rival Martha Coakley used state resources to urge workers to volunteer for Coakley's campaign.
The report by FOX25 said the Service Employees International Union used state computers and e-mail addresses to direct state employees to volunteer for Coakley, the Democratic state attorney general.
Coakley's campaign referred questions to the attorney general's office. A spokeswoman said the attorney general's office has received the letter from Brown's attorney and will review it before commenting.
.
The United Parcel Service has threatened the Massachusetts Democratic Party with Legal Action as a result of their negative campaign against Scott Brown.
Shipping giant UPS isn’t amused by a Democratic Party campaign pamphlet attacking Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown that plays off the company’s slogan “What can Brown do for you?”
Atlanta-based United Parcel Service, known for its ubiquitous brown trucks, demanded yesterday that the Massachusetts Democratic Party, which is listed as paying for the pamphlet, stop distributing it.
The mailer asks “What can Brown do to you?” It shows Scott Brown dressed up as a UPS driver and says, “He can reward corporations that ship your job overseas just like George W. Bush.”
It’s unclear how many of the mailers had gone out.
“Our legal team sent the Massachusetts Democratic Party an e-mail today,” company spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg said yesterday. “As part of ongoing UPS brand protection, we asked that no further copies be distributed.”
As of late yesterday, Rosenberg said UPS had not received a response. The Massachusetts Democratic Party did not respond to a message left at its headquarters in Boston by the Herald.

Wild Thing's comment..........
Coakley is showing both desperation and stupidity. She’s quite the modern day democrat. LOL. She is the gift that keeps giving. Keep it up Coakley.!
The funny thing concerning the whole trademark infringement is that as the Massachusetts’ Attorney General she knows that she shouldn’t be doing this.
The UPS guys I have met that have delivered packages ( in Calilfornia and also here in Florida where we live now) have all listened to Conservative talk radio and were registered Independents and a few registered Republicans. One of them here I give him our Rush Limbaugh letter ( magazine) we get each month when we are done with it.
He loves it. UPS driver makes a point of telling me that Obama is destroying the country. He told me libs are just plain rude. LOL
I’d be embarassed if I were one of her supporters.
1. The campaign mispelled Massachusetts in a campaign ad.
2. Put the a picture of the World Trade Center in a campaign ad.
3. Called Curt Shilling pitcher of the RedSocks a Yankee Fan.
4. Said there were no more terrorists in Afghanistan when a fairly large terrorist attack had happenned not long before.
5. Said something to the effect that Catholics shouldn’t be working in Emergency Rooms if they had a problem with abortion.
This lady and her campaign are the most incompetent campaign since Creigh Deeds here in Virginia. She almost makes him look electable.
Martha has a big problem and I don’t think there is anything the Democrats can do about it. If they do not lose this seat it will not be for lack of trying.

Massachusetts Miracle ~ Awesome Video
On January 19, 2010, a special election will be held in Massachusetts to select a new US Senator. Mainstream media pundits would have you believe Democrat Maratha Coakley is the undisputed leader in the race. But the so-called 'experts' may be in for a bit of a surprise.
Freedom-loving Americans from across our nation are rising-up to support Republican candidate Scott Brown. In the days leading up to the election, Brown has advanced such that some polls now actually show him within the margin of error.
Brown would provide the critical 41st vote in the Senate to break the Democrat's filibuster-proof majority and stop the unprecedented assault on our personal liberties that is now taking place in Congress.
Scott Brown has pledged to vote against the government takeover of our health care system and is also opposed to cap-and-trade.
Martha Coakley, on the other hand, supports Obama's socialistic agenda.
The political elite should not underestimate the resilience of the American people to defend their liberty from a tyrannical government.
.
Doug Shoen Democrat Pollster says Americans do not like how far to the left Obama has taken our country and Coakley is just like Obama. Shoen says he himself is a moderate Democrat and does not like it as well.

Scott Brown's Daughter Ayla Brown ‘Completely Offended’ by Martha Coakley’s Attack
Scott Brown with his daughters Ayla and Arianna Brown~ this is a cute ad. ~ Wild Thing
.
Ayla Brown ‘completely offended’ by Martha Coakley’s attack
“American Idol” starlet Ayla Brown morphed into campaign pit bull yesterday for GOP dad Sen. Scott Brown as she tore into Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley for plunging the U.S. Senate race into the gutter.
“Martha Coakley’s new negative ad represents everything that discourages young women from getting involved in politics, and as a young woman, I’m completely offended by that,” said the 21-year-old Brown. “She even spelled Massachusetts wrong in her original ad which is very embarrassing, I must say as a young woman.”
The former Idol contender and Boston College senior sought to further boost her father onto the national political stage as the race intensified amid polls showing it tightening.
“This past campaign season I’ve really seen him evolve,” Brown told the Herald. “I think he has an incredible shot at winning if they just get out there and vote.”
The singer, who belted out “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” during her “American Idol” audition, slammed Coakley for striking a sour note in a new television ad that she said misrepresents her father on the issues.
The spot shows images of a distraught woman at the bottom of a stairwell as a voiceover details a legislative amendment filed by Brown that would have allowed some facilities to deny emergency contraception to rape victims.
“Her attack on my dad is completely inaccurate and misleading,” Brown said as she defended her doting dad. “I’m here today to say that Martha Coakley should take down her negative ad.”
Coakley’s campaign stood behind their ad but didn’t respond directly to the college hoopster’s sharp elbows.
“We take issue with the regressive legislation that Scott Brown sponsored. Today, he has continued to try to back away from it because of the devastating impact it would have had on women’s health. But he cannot run away from his record,” said Coakley spokesman Corey Welford in a statement.
Ayla broke her silence on the campaign trail in the last stretch of the heated battle to fill the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s seat. But Brown, standing next to her 19-year-old sister Arianna, said she wasn’t “dragged into the campaign.”
“We are very willing to play a part in my dad’s campaign,” Brown said.
Brown told the Herald Coakley’s inflammatory ad prompted her to speak out. “For our family, especially me being on ‘Idol’ but (also) my dad being in politics, there are always so many people who have something negative to say,” Brown said. “The minute it’s sponsored and the people really believe in false accusations, that’s where we had to draw the line.”

Poll shocker: Scott Brown surges ahead in Senate race
Riding a wave of opposition to Democratic health-care reform, GOP upstart Scott Brown is leading in the U.S. Senate race, raising the odds of a historic upset that would reverberate all the way to the White House, a new poll shows.
Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.
“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.
The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.
~snipet~
While Brown has 91 percent of registered Republicans locked up, an astonishing 17 percent of Democrats report they’re jumping ship for Brown as well - likely a product of Coakley’s laser-focus on hard-core Dems, potentially at the exclusion of other Democrats whom she needed to win over, Paleologos said.
For Coakley, Brown’s surge may be as ominous as the fact that her campaign’s peril is not fully recognized, with 64 percent of voters still believing she’ll win - a perception that threatens to keep her supporters home.
Brown’s popularity is solid. He enjoys a 57 percent favorability rating compared to just 19 percent unfavorable. Coakley’s favorability is 49 percent; her unfavorability, 41 percent.
No longer does Brown suffer from a name-recognition problem, with 95 percent of voters having heard of him statewide.

Awesome Lt. Col Allen West On Red Eye
This man is the real deal. Big things await him. Here's his response to Reid's "Negro" debacle. Unfortunately, many on the right are ignoring this man and his statements:
Greetings,
The revelation of Senator Harry Reid’s comments referencing “negro talk” is just indicative of the true sentiment elitist liberals, and indeed the Democratic party, have toward black Americans. The history of the Democrat party is one of slavery, secession, segregation, and now socialism. It is this new aged socialism born from the Johnson Great Society programs that have castigated blacks as victims needing government dependency. One need only to look upon the city of Detroit to ascertain what liberal social welfare policies have produced for the inner city… the new plantation for black Americans.
The Ku Klux Klan was birthed by the Democrats as a terrorist wing to intimidate blacks, and whites, who sought to promote economic and education independence and social justice for blacks. What was once overt has just morphed and become covert, yet still exists.
One can only imagine the insanity and media outrage if Reid’s quote had come from a member of the Republican party. I look forward to hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on Reid’s comments… or has liberal hush money paid for the silence of these proprietors of poverty and victimization theory. Actually, if President Obama had any courage he would demand Reid step down as Senate Majority Leader, and discontinue any support for his Senate reelection… notice I said “if”. I am quite sure the Soros money which elevated Obama to the position of President has bought his servitude.
Why am I running for US Congress as a Republican? Simple. I would rather stand proudly and be called “an Uncle Tom and a sellout” than lose my self-esteem and be considered an inferior by liberals. I understand the legacy of the GOP and the black community… not the revisionist history espoused by liberal educators. I am not, shall never be, and will not raise my daughters to be a part of the liberal 21st century plantation. I am not just some articulate, clean, well spoken negro. I am an American warrior, Congressional candidate, and shall never submit to the collective progressive ideal of inferiority.
Senator Harry Reid’s comments are disgusting, despicable, and unacceptable. They are representative of how intellectual elite liberals do indeed speak of black Americans in their closed private spaces. Next week I have been invited to NYC to address the Hudson Institute, a conservative organization, conference on “Reclaiming American Liberty”. That invite came to me because I took advantage of the opportunities this great Republic offered. I followed the guidance of my parents and set my standards above all others around me. I speak well and have impeccable communicative skills because my Father and Mother prioritized that quality.
I shiver to think what my future could have been if I listened to the insidious rhetoric of charlatans such as Harry Reid, and the ambassadors of affirmative action who reside in the Congressional Black Caucus. Sure, the “stuck on stupid” blacks are going to address me in derogatory names, but I possess something which they lack; Honor, Integrity, and Character. To them I say, continue to be slaves to the liberals for your vote… and in a year you will be calling me Congressman West.
Steadfast and Loyal,
LTC(R) Allen B West

"It's The People's Seat"
Scott Brown at the Massachusetts Senate debate. "With all due respect, it's not the Kennedy's seat, it's not the Democrats' seat, it's the people's seat."
Wild Thing's comment........
Great line, I would cut a commercial on with that in it tommorrow. This is the way the media thinks that this is Ted Kennedy’s seat to be given in inheritance to the Democrats. Brown was not intimidated by him, and made Gergen look the fool...a beautiful thing to see.
There are few political pundits as nauseating as David Gergen...and to think this JERK was representing the right for years on the MacNeil/Lehrer Report vs. Mark Shields. No wonder nobody could tell the difference.

Tea Party Movement Poised for Strong Start in 2010
Senator Harry Reid has shown contempt for the American people and the people of Nevada. Now, "We The People" are fighting back, and the Tea Party Express (and its principal sponsor, the Our Country Deserves Better Committee) fights back with this TV ad campaign against failed Democrat Senator, Harry Reid.
.
Tea Party Movement Poised for Strong Start in 2010
By Kimberly Schwandt
Last year, the Tea Party movement succeeded in capturing national headlines with its boisterous anti-government protests. This year, based on what's on the calendar for the start of 2010, tea party activists and affiliated groups are looking to gain even more influence and momentum.
The first major event of the year is set for Jan. 20, when tea party activists plan a national strike marking the one-year anniversary of President Obama's inauguration.
Then former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is headlining a National Tea Party Convention from Feb. 4 to 6 in Nashville, Tenn. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a lawmaker who has taken part in previous tea party rallies, also is expected to speak.
"Tea Party Nation" president and convention organizer Judson Phillips told Fox News that the convention will help tea party leaders from across the nation network with each other, give attendees information and provide unity within the movement. There are 600 tickets allocated for the convention and 1,100 for the banquet with Palin.
THE ROUTE OF THE CARAVAN click HERE includes dates where they predict they will be as well.
The most ambitious of the tea party events planned is a 20-day, 42-city road trip that is scheduled to start in March -- a cross-country caravan tour called the "Tea Party Express III." Organizers are encouraging supporters to get in buses and join them at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, Nev., on March 27.
The caravan then will go across the country stopping in cities like Little Rock, Ark., Springfield, Ill., Davenport, Iowa, Detroit, Erie, Pa., and Boston. The final stop is Washington, D.C., on Tax Day, April 15.
According to the Web site, organizers say they hope to "bring activism against Obama's healthcare plan as well as continued opposition against out-of-control spending, higher taxes, bailouts and the 'Cap & Trade' global warming fiasco."
The tea party movement has sparked debate among political observers about whether it can evolve into a major political force.
Just this week, many credited the tea party movement for the resignation of Jim Greer, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida whose stances clashed with the movement.
"The tea party movement has the potential to drive public opinion and electoral support in ways that are hard to fully appreciate right now. The American people are angry at both parties, and the tea party movement fills an important void that neither party currently addresses," said Democratic strategist and Fox News contributor Doug Schoen.
Republican political consultant Matthew Dowd told ABC News he thinks people are making a mistake by trying to downplay the movement, "I think Republicans definitely dismiss this at their peril. I also think Democrats, by trying to marginalize it, underestimate the anger out there."
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Great article and I love how it lists dates and events coming up.
I also love how people are speaking up and a lot of those doing this have never done it before. People ARE angry and they see what Obama is pushing and know we have to fight back.

First National Tea Party Convention
Tea Party Nation is pleased to announce the First National Tea Party Convention to be held February 4-6, 2010 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN. The convention is aimed at bringing the Tea Party Movement leaders together from around the nation for the purpose of networking and supporting the movements' multiple organizations principle goals. This event will be co-sponsored by other national groups that believe in a responsible and limited federal government that is responsive to all the people. National Taxpayers Union, American Majority, Smart Girl Politics, and SurgeUSA are just a few of the organizations who will be on hand to contribute their time and talents to this convention.
Special Keynote Speaker for the event will be Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska (2006-2009) and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Nominee.
The convention will feature well-known speakers, workshops, seminars, information centers, and organizational tools for leaders to take back to their respective local Tea Party organizations.
Hotel accommodations provided by Opryland Hotel. Special pricing for Convention attendees. Click here to reserve your room (password is TEA10).
About The Convention
This event is planned for our tea party movement people to have the most representation from across the nation by design. We want local tea party groups to select their best to meet with their peers from across the nation. The local tea party's themselves know who will best represent them, bring the best ideas, and have the most desire to move this process of organizing to the next level.
Though this event is geared toward representatives of tea party groups, anyone who supports the tea party movement is welcome to attend.
What we have to share with one another face to face is the true value of holding this convention though the program agenda will be dynamic and action packed in its own right.
We would hope that most groups could do some minor fund raising to help defray the travel, accommodations and ticket price. This is an investment in the true future of our movement and the people who are going to move us forward are going to be attending this event as they understand this.
Fifty people in a small tea party group for example each investing $10-20 dollars would take care of most of the costs to a delegate. This is not a huge investment money but information wise it will yield huge returns.
We suggest that your tea party meet soon to discuss who will be sent. There is a limited availability on the tickets.

Other Speakers ( Photos at LINK)
Rep. Michele Bachman will be the Breakfast Speaker Friday morning and Rep. Marsha Blackburn will be introducing Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska (2006 - 2009) and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Nominee, Saturday evening at the Convention's closing night banquet.

Rush Limbaugh Update:Rush Holds Press Conference in Hawaii
Rush: U.S. health system 'just fine'
HONOLULU - Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Friday that he did not suffer a heart attack and that his physician did not know the reason for the symptoms that resulted in his hospitalization in Hawaii this week, despite a number of tests performed on him.
"I wish I knew what it was,” Limbaugh told reporters before he was released from Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, which he was rushed to Wednesday after complaining of chest pains. "All people can do is make wild guesses about it."
Limbaugh shot down speculation that he is again taking painkillers amid news reports that he told paramedics when they arrived Wednesday at his hotel room that he was on medication for back pain.
Asked if he was taking painkillers, he flatly said "No," and added that he was taking Prednasone, a type of steroid used to treat inflammatory diseases.
Limbaugh, who has been vacationing in Hawaii at the same time as President Obama, used his five-minute statement to ding Obama's plan to overhaul the health care system.
"The treatment I received here was the best that the world has to offer,” Limbaugh said. “Based on what happened here to me, I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American health care system. It is working just fine, just dandy."
He said he as a celebrity he received the same treatment as anyone who would have called 911 and been taken to the hospital in his condition.
"I got no special treatment," he said."The care, he added, was "confidence inspiring."
"I just feel very grateful and thankful be an American and have this happen to me," he said.
Dressed in a blue polo shirt, white shorts and black loafers, Limbaugh was energetic as he delivered his statement at a podium in a small room on the sixth floor of the hospital. He said around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday he started to feel chest pains and initially tried to walk it off around his hotel room. But when the symptoms did not dissipate, he called for emergency help and was taken to the hospital in serious condition.
With the physician who treated him, Dr. Joana Magno, by his side, Limbaugh made a plea for others who may have a similar experience not to wait around before calling 911.
"I'm 58, will be 59 in a couple of weeks - you start thinking about these kinds of things. Don't mess with it,” he said. “Any time you have heart pain or chest pain and you have no idea what it is and it's something you've never experienced before, turn it over to professionals right off the bat."
He thanked well wishers who have reached out to him over the past two days.
"It has been a humbling experience," he added, saying he was overwhelmed with well-wishers who reached him.
"It was a blessing that it happened as it did with no damage whatsoever," he said of his heart attack scare, "because it takes things like this in life maybe to prepare you for the [reality] that you are getting older, you're not as young as you were and not as invincible as you once thought you were."
On his way out of the room, Limbaugh told a reporter he plans to return to his radio show next Wednesday, not Monday as originally planned.
Tests showed no ailments after his chest pains.

A Message from Rush to His Listeners
January 1, 2010
To my listeners,
Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts over the past several days. Today, I am leaving Queens Hospital in Honolulu, feeling strong and rested. I offer my deepest thanks to the staff and administration there, who provided excellent care and supervision.
I’m going to take several days of rest over this weekend and the early part of next week, and will be back on the radio with you sometime next week, taking the advice of so many of you to rest and fully recover.
I wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year in 2010!
With great thanks for your support and love,
Rush Limbaugh
The total JERKS at Wikipedia Pronounced Rush Limbaugh Dead. Damn I can't stand it!! ~ Wild Thing
Looks like the folks at Wikipedia were prepared for the worst when it came to Rush Limbaugh. Actually they were a little too well prepared.
Shortly after the news broke that the conservative political radio talk show host was hospitalized, Wikipedia updated his page – and pronounced him dead.
Folks (like us) who happened to take a look at Limbaugh’s biography, saw this:
Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/;born January 12, 1951, died December 30, 2009) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Rush Limbaugh Show, the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States. It airs throughout the U.S. on Premiere Radio Networks.
That was posted shortly after midnight, EST.
Rush, of course, was very much alive and about 15 minutes later Wikipedia pronounced him so, altering their bio by removing the information that he had died.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
God bless Rush and prayers continue for him to be ok ....always!!! This made my day! What joyful news!
Rush is strong and rested, and Obama is tired and whiney. Excellent!

Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized With Chest Pains and Now Resting! ~ Prayers For ElRushbo!
Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized With Chest Pains!
Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.
He was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
The radio show host had been in the islands during the holidays. Coincidentally, his visit comes at a time when two of the nation's most powerful Democrats, President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are also staying in Hawaii.
This is from Rush's website:
ALERT: Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital today and is resting comfortably after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes. He will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on Thursday's radio program.

Vice President Dick Cheney: Barack Obama 'trying to pretend'
Dick Cheney: Barack Obama 'trying to pretend'
Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Barack Obama on Tuesday of “trying to pretend we are not at war” with terrorists, pointing to the White House response to the attempted sky bombing as reflecting a pattern that includes banishing the term “war on terror” and attempting to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
" We are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe,” Cheney said in a statement to POLITICO. “Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society.”
Cheney was joining a chorus of Republicans who have criticized Obama following the Christmas Day attack, in which a Nigerian suspect is accused of trying to blow up a loaded airliner with a bomb stitched into his underwear
Rep. Peter King of New York, ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee and a member of the Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show:
“I think that the administration has made a mistake by treating this terrorist as a common criminal, by putting him into the criminal-justice system. I wish they had put him into a military tribunal so we could get as much intelligence and information out of him as we could.”
Here is Cheney’s full statement:
"As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.
“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core Al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war."

Rep. Parker Griffith Announces He's Switching Parties To GOP
Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Alabama, will announce today that he's switching parties to become a Republican.
The switch represents a coup for the House Republican leadership, which had been courting Griffith since he publicly criticized the Democratic leadership in the wake of raucous town halls during the summer.
Griffith, who captured the seat in a close 2008 open seat contest, will become the first Republican to hold the historically Democratic, Huntsville-based district. A radiation oncologist who founded a cancer treatment center, Griffith plans to blast the Democratic health care bill as a prime reason for his decision to switch parties—and is expected to cite his medical background as his authority on the subject.
While the timing of his announcement was unexpected, Griffith’s party switch will not come as a surprise to those familiar with his voting record, which is one of the most conservative among Democrats.
He has bucked the Democratic leadership on nearly all of its major domestic initiatives, including the stimulus package, health care legislation, the cap-and trade energy bill and financial regulatory reform.
He was one of only 11 House Democrats to vote against the stimulus.
“Look at his voting record – he’s had substantial differences philosophically with the Democratic agenda here in Congress,” said an Alabama ally who is familiar with Griffith’s decision. “It’s something that’s been discussed for the last several months… talking to people in his family. And it genuinely is a reflection of where he feels. It’s his own personal conviction.”
The Obama administration’s decision to scrap plans to build a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe further frustrated Griffith, according to GOP sources, because his district contains the base for Boeing’s ground-based missile defense research.
Ironically, a National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman called Griffith a “woefully ineffective advocate for Tennessee Valley jobs” after the decision was announced in September.
Signs of Griffith’s dissatisfaction with his party began to surface publicly during the summer recess, when he received an earful of criticism from constituents.
In August — one month after Republicans picked up his former state legislative seat in a special election — Griffith told a local newspaper that he wouldn't vote for Nancy Pelosi to remain as House Speaker because she's too divisive. He joked that if she didn’t like it, he’d provide her with a gift certificate to a mental health center.
He added that if the Democratic leadership wouldn't commit to working in a more bipartisan manner, "perhaps we should look at altering that."
Wild Thing's comment..........
“He was one of only 11 House Democrats to vote against the stimulus.”
Well he sure did better than Rrepublican Senators Susan Collins, Olympia Snow and (then) Republican Senator Arlene Specter, who voted with the Democrats flor the PORKULUS bill.
He seems to vote with Republicans most of the time according to the article anyway.

Rush Limbaugh Quotes About ObamaCare
These are some quotes from Rush Limbaugh's show on Monday regarding ObamaCare ~Wild Thing
Liars and Prostitutes Pass Fraud Health Care Bill Tribute to Obama
RUSH: Well, it's one thing we can say with absolute ontological certitude: prostitution has been legalized in Washington, DC. Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, Chris Dodd (he gets a hundred million) Vermont, Massachusetts, on and on it goes. Greetings. We all got a screwed and prostitution has now been legalized.
"Folks, this would be a disaster if just one Republican had voted with them, because then they could say it was bipartisan. The fact that the Republicans held out and are nowhere near this is the only decent thing about this, not only for their future but for ours."
You want to hear a liar lie? You want to hear a liar lie right to your face? We have two of them, two sound bites here. Barack Obama this morning in Washington at the White House, a press conference about health care and a number of other things.
OBAMA: The Congressional Budget Office now reports that this bill will reduce our deficit by $132 billion over the first decade and by as much as $1.3 trillion in the decade after that. So I just want to be clear. For all those who are continually carping about how this is somehow a big-spending government bill, this cuts our deficit by $132 billion the first ten years, and by over a trillion in the second. That argument that opponents are making against this bill does not hold water.
RUSH: That's just an out-and-out lie, folks. I mean there's no other way to characterize this. It's not a prevarication, he's not wrong, he's not looking at a set of figures that are incorrect, it's an out-and-out lie. Even Robert Samuelson today in the Washington Post, a column which says, "Passing Health Reform Could be a Nightmare for Obama." Well, by God we only hope so because it's a nightmare for all the rest of us. It damn well better be a nightmare for President Obama and his political future. Robert Samuelson agrees, this is all about Obama and his legacy and nothing else. It will not cover everyone. Even by 2019 there will be something like seven or eight million people uncovered without health insurance. It will not control costs. It will worsen the budget and the bulletin deficit. It is going to raise taxes out the wazoo on virtually everybody. It is going to disrupt the entire health care system. It is atrocious legislation, all of that, that's the summary of the Robert Samuelson piece. Here's the next Obama sound bite from this morning at the White House.
OBAMA: When my administration walked through the door, the country faced a growing economic downturn as well as a deepening fiscal hole. Washington had passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy and an expensive new entitlement program without paying for any of it. Health care costs continue to rise year after year and little effort was made to cut wasteful spending. As a result, over the previous eight years, the -- the national debt doubled, doubled. As I've said in the long run, we can't continue to spend as if deficits don't have consequences, as if waste doesn't matter, as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money. That's what we've seen time and time again.
RUSH: So he has the audacity here to say that Republicans spend your money like Monopoly money, and again blaming the Bush administration. This guy is a coward. He does not have the gonads or the spine to even stand up and accept what he's doing. All of this is his doing. He cannot even proudly say, "You should like this, you may not like it but I'm telling you it's the best thing for you, it's the best thing for me." No, he knows it's a disaster. He has to slough this off on his predecessor, the previous administration. "When my administration walked through the door the country faced a growing economic downturn, a deepening fiscal hole." Massive tax cuts are the cause of all this? Those massive tax cuts created more revenue to the Treasury than they had anticipated. They always do. The capital gains tax cuts alone caused more money to pour into Washington than anybody figured. "Health care costs continue to rise, eight years national debt doubled." This man has spent more deficit money in one year than the Bush eight years in total, ladies and gentlemen.
The audacity of this is Alinsky-like, simply go out and lie to everybody's face.
"One thing we can say with absolute ontological certitude: Prostitution has been legalized in Washington, DC."
"The Founding Fathers created this country. They rose up against a tyranny that is nothing compared to the tyranny in this health care bill."
"Obama has spent more deficit money in one year than the Bush eight years in total."
"Once they pass health care reform all we're going to hear about is the deficit, and that is a code word for Democrats: we have to raise taxes. That's what's next."
"Harry Reid is claiming Americans are dying from lack of health insurance as he is speaking.Harry, send 'em an ambulance and shut up."
"Harry Reid said two Americans are dying every ten minutes. There are 525,600 minutes in one year. So the Democrats are killing 210,240 people by delaying the benefits for four years."
"This is about ruling you, not governing the country. This is not about we the people. It's about them the political class. They have sought this moment ever since FDR."
"If the Democrats are talking about this being such a wonderfully historic moment, why are they doing it under the cover of darkness, in the middle of night like rats, instead of the heroic statesmen they think they are?"

Senator Kit Bond (R.- MO.) Gives His Rendition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"
>br>
As Senate lawmakers gear up for what might be a rough holiday spent laboring over healthcare reform in the Capitol, Sen. Kit Bond (D-Mo.) is trying to inject that ongoing debate with some holiday satire.
"With the Senate having gone to the dogs, I thought it was appropriate that I share with my two doggy friends a little ode to Christmas," the Republican lawmaker announced before launching into a version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas," clearly re-written to reflect this year's healthcare debate.
An excerpt:
"Now Schumer, now Sanders, now Durbin and HarkinOn Landrieu, on Nelson, on Bayh and LincolnTo the well of the Senate, to the top of the wallVote away! Vote Away! Vote Away all!
As spending before the wild deficits flyRoll over all obstacles, mount to the skySo up to the house-top, the debt it flewWith a sleigh full of goodies, cap-and-trade too!"
Senator Bond sits down with his dog, Tiger, and Shana Marchio's (his Communications Director) dog, Pooley, and gives his rendition of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore.
While serving in the United States Senate, Bond has built a reputation as a statesman who advocates for a strong U.S. military, improved care for our nation's veterans and men and women in uniform, an expert in Southeast Asia, and a reformer of our nation's intelligence community.
Bond serves as the Vice Chairman on the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, where he is working to give the Intelligence Community the tools to detect and disrupt planned terrorist attacks on America.

Two Strong Conservatives Running In Florida ~ Alan West and Marco Rubio
In 2003, Allen West was facing a possible court martial hearing that could have put him in prison.
Responsible for over six hundred men as a Lieutenant-Colonel in Iraq, West conducted a harsh interrogation in which he fired gun shots near the head of an Iraqi police officer he suspected of withholding information about a plot to kill him and some of the soldiers under his command. At a hearing over the incident, West defiantly declared that "if it's about the life of my men, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can." And though he said he may not have used the right methods, "if he had to err," he declared, "I would err on the side of not losing my soldiers."
Taking into account mitigating factors, the Army opted not to pursue a full court martial, though it did fine West and relieve him of his command, effectively ending his highly decorated 20-plus year Army career.
Six years later the only person the retired Army warrior threatens is Democratic Congressman Ron Klein of Florida's 22nd Congressional District.
The second term congressman won his seat in the picturesque South Florida district by unseating 13-term Republican representative Clay Shaw in 2006, a disastrous year for Republican incumbents. West, who worked as a high-school history teacher and then a civilian adviser to the U.S. military in Afghanistan after his retirement from the Army, first decided to take a shot at Klein's congressional seat in 2008.
Despite the lack of support by the national party, a near 8 to 1 fundraising disadvantage, and a year in which a popular Democratic presidential nominee was on the ballot, West was able mount a strong showing against Klein, garnering 45% of the vote. Spurred by this better than expected performance, West, 48, is back for a rematch in 2010.
"No matter what you achieve in 22 years in the military, coming into politics is a brand new game," West told me during a recent interview at a Starbucks in Plantation, Florida. "So the party at the state and the national level wasn't too happy with me because I didn't come with millions of dollars in my pocket. But I did come with what I think a lot of people are looking for which is honor, integrity, and character."
Over the course of the hour-long interview, it became abundantly clear that while West may be running for political office, he wasn't an ordinary politician.
"There are three words I hate to hear used. I hate big-tent. I hate inclusiveness. And I hate outreach. I think you stand on the principles that make you great, which transcend everybody in America, and people will come to it," West said, outlining the uncompromising way he approaches politics.
Growing up lower-middle class and black in Atlanta's inner city, West views America as a place where you can achieve anything if you work hard and stand on principle. His father raised him to believe education is important and West heeded the lesson en route to obtaining two master's degrees in addition to his undergraduate degree.
Having spent 22 years as an officer in the military, West has strong opinions on foreign policy. He said that American leaders need a better understanding of the "Islamic terrorist enemy that we are up against."
"If we continue to show this enemy that we do not have the resolve and the resilience to stand and fight them, they are going to continue to press the attack," West said.
His response regarding the Democratic proposal on health care.
"It does not take 2,000 pages and it does not take the creation of almost 110 more government agencies to reform our health care system," West said. "It comes back to controlling you and your decision" which is "anathema" to "what this country is about."
What's West solution?
"We have to recommit to the foundational values that made this country great and it starts with the Constitution and understanding our Founding Fathers."
It doesn't take long to discover that West is not a huge fan of President Obama and his agenda. "I think that [President Obama] believes that the government is the end all and be all that can solve all issues and problems," West said. "And we know that in 233 years the public sector didn't build America, the private sector did. Individual Americans did."
Rubio has become the focal point of the greater struggle in the GOP of the establishment versus the grassroots, moderate versus conservative, top-down versus bottom-up camps in the party. The early endorsement of Crist by the NRSC and other Republican Washington establishment types angered many within the base of the party. Rubio had been seen as the future of the GOP in Florida.
Marco is full of the conservative energy that grassroots Republicans have been clamoring for in the Sunshine State and throughout the country.
Rubio would be a real shot heard round the Republican world and serve as an unmistakable wake-up call to the GOP leadership that they ignore their base at their own peril..
Wild Thing's comment......
I am thrilled about West and Marco and prsy they do well all the way to a WIN for our country and for Conservatives.

New Billboard In Missouri Warns Government To “Prepare for War.”
A new billboard off of Interstate 70 in Missouri warns government to “Prepare for War.”
Missouri Billboard Warns: “Prepare For War” Against Government
A new billboard off of Interstate 70 in Missouri provides a short “citizens guide to REVOLUTION of a corrupt government” and issues a call to “PREPARE FOR WAR.”
This billboard replaces one that warned that the socialist “Obama-Nation” is “coming for you.” It’s unclear who the owner of the billboard is, but the first one was the work of a “Missouri businessman.”
While it’s unclear who owns it, the Lafayette County Republican Central Committee seems to endorse it.
This is his choice. It is his company. It is his money. He is asking a question that has not been answered.Hang on Mr. Wolf Your not alone. Where is the outrage about liberals who bring their politics into SCHOOL, or into show business, or into supposedly apolitical tax exempt eligible churchs ( Rev. Wright's for example. But if a conservative puts his money where his mouth is, he is evil. The left does a great job at leveraging all the assets at their disposal to wage war...against other Americans practicing their First Amendment rights.~ Wild Thing
"President or Jihad?" billboard in Wheat Ridge sparks boycott, threats ( Colorado)
A billboard at a Wheat Ridge car dealership — with a caricature of President Barack Obama as a turban- wearing jihadist — has sparked a boycott and death threats, but even more support, its sponsor said.
Phil Wolf, owner of Wolf Automotive, said the billboard asks a legitimate question about Obama's alleged lack of documentation of his American birth.
"President or Jihad?" the billboard reads. "Wake up, America! Remember Fort Hood!"
Wolf said politicians have not been held accountable.
"This man is not telling the truth," Wolf said. "He should prove he's an American."
Bobby Clark of the liberal online network Progress Now Colorado is organizing a boycott of Wolf Automotive. Clark said "birthers" and "teabaggers" like Wolf have been emboldened by mainstream Republican politicians and pundits.
"When people like Rush Limbaugh, Peter Boyles, Glenn Beck and elected officials like Sarah Palin and Sen. Dave Schultheis openly question the president's citizenship and compare him to terrorists, it gives permission to this kind of speech," Clark said. "It's hateful. It's racist. It's outrageous."
Wolf denied he's racist. He said he's written in Alan Keyes, a conservative political activist and African- American, as his presidential choice.
Wolf's cartoonish billboard also drew criticism from the Anti-Defamation League.
"This billboard exploits the recent tragic shooting at Fort Hood in a context replete with bigotry," said ADL Mountain States director Bruce DeBoskey. "It is divisive and offensive, and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Muslims."
Wolf said that fear of asking the hard questions led to the carnage at Fort Hood by American-born Muslim Nidal Malik Hasan.
"It's a disgrace that political correctness is ruining this country," Wolf said. "We were 'too sensitive' to question Hasan . . . because he's Muslim.
The billboard cost Wolf "a couple thousand dollars," he said, and it might lose him some customers.
"If it does, it doesn't matter," Wolf said. "I've had two ladies go home terrified because of the threats we've had."
Wolf, who owns dealerships in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, said the Obama administration has ruined the auto industry by interfering in it.
This billboard isn't likely to help sell cars, said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"It's an offensive billboard on several levels," Hooper said. "It's disrespectful of the presidency and Islam. It's a racist depiction as well.
"On the other hand," he said, "this is a free country and he has the right to be offensive."
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is a strongly worded sign. Some may think a billboard message like this is not particularly productive. Meaning it is a way to get a persons name on a list that might come back to haunt them. Thoughts like use prudence when making statements like this, and how a sign like this would pigeon hole ourselves as anti-government revolutionaries. After all, we are reasoned citizens who are going to carry out our vengeance at the ballot box.
This kind of thinking depicts similar lukewarm attitudes that existed circa-1776, but eventually, after all other means exhausted, someone had to put his “HANCOCK” down and declare independence.
Much of that kind of thinking is true and yet we live in different times now. My thoughts on this billboard are that we are at a disadvantage with the MSM (Lame-stream?) media and 90% of blogs being liberal-to-extreme-left. It is time we go viral-Alinky on the liberals. This billboard reflects the psyche of the American conservative fed up with the arrogant, lawless scum running DC.
IMO the time to be PC is water under the bridge...note this blog has always proclaimed it is a PC Free Zone, and every conservative needs to understand that no matter how well-behaved, well-spoken, well-intentioned, respectful, lawful ( or any other positive adjective a person can think of) we act, the LEFT WILL ALWAYS ACCUSE US of being tea-baggers, racists, rednecks, etc. etc.
A billboard worded like this shows we can act lawfully, but forcefully-history, and the Constitution, is on OUR side. The time for niceness and civility has passed. Not by our choosing, but gone nonetheless. Civilization is now in-your-face advocacy. The loudest voice will be heard. We need MORE of these signs. The times they are changing. We have the Soap box, ballot box, jury box, and God help us and ONLY as a last resort the cartridge box.
The fear of “getting on a list” loses it’s meaning when people feel more and more certain they are facing an enemy. When the Texans hung the “come and take it” banner on a cannon,,,, when someone hoisted the “don't tread on me” flag,,, it indicates they are far past caring what the enemy thinks.
These sentiments don’t need our finger wag, they need to be seen as a dire warning to those who are bent on a Socialist dictatorship in America.
I am all for this billboard and hope there will be more of them. I say run with it. What can they do? Are they going to scare conservatives away from conservatism? Are they going to get their own panties in a wad as they talk about how “dangerous” the right is? Is the government going to outlaw free speech and dissent? If the first happens, we’ve already lost and the last two are going to happen anyway.
The ballot box is broken! ACORN, illegals, and voter fraud will fix future elections. The courts are useless at best, and parties to treason at their worst. What is left for us to do to defend the Constitution?
At some point, we have to grow a pair and start being “inflammatory”. As long as we continue to bitch amongst ourselves and no one is willing to be the guy that says, “Give me liberty or give me death”, they will never take us seriously. Who is willing to be the first signer of the Declaration of Independence this time?
There’s a long road from being labeled anti-government revolutionaries because of a sign or two to the first shot being fired and maybe we can avoid the first shot if, as the sign says, we “Prepare for War.” Our government is supposed to fear us. Instead, it laughs at our impotence as it passes bills in the middle of the night to enslave us forever.
The sentiment I wrote about at the beginning of my comment I do understand. But the cold reality is that being civil has brought us now to what is essentially a Marxist takeover. They think they are as close as ever, and they are going for all the marbles.......now.
Against this,there is a certain element in America that will not submit much further. A gun-grab, a child-grab through mandatory civil service, the deliberate destruction of the economy, the prosecution of Cheney, a bigger ACORN fraud,,etc. Any could be a spark.
They are unrelentingly coming for us. Nothing wrong with a few BLUNT reminders to them that it will take more than a few signatures to enslave us. They need to be certain of the price to be paid if they actually cross the lines they openly state they will.
What I hope and pray for, is that they understand what rumblings like these billboards mean. My fear is that they don’t understand Americans enough to understand the meanings. To them it’s all a parlor game.
Now this is important to remember too.
Recall if you will the attitude of the South before the Civil War. There were plenty of grounds for disagreement. The people of the South thought the war would be won in short order and their rights would be restored.
Right now some on our side have adopted the same mindset, even blasting those with cooler heads for ‘willingness to harvest the benefits of victory by patriots’. Even a patriot can come to the conclusion that the time is not right. Watching millions die is worse than keeping your powder dry and letting cooler heads prevail until nothing else will do. I still say we are not there yet....VERY CLOSE but not yet.
Obama is destroying the left. Remember the post about 61% do NOT want his socialized medicine. That is more then it was several months ago, and a lot of it has to do with all of the conservatives speaking out. Speaking out at blogs, in the articles Sarah writes, Michele Bachmann, Liz Cheney, Mike Pence, Jim DeMint, many other names as well we all know the names, many on our side have been speaking out. Those speaking out about Cap and Trade ( Tax) and ACORN. Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham , even Hannity comes through some of the time. These are all making a difference. Obama has ticked off some in the media and that list keeps growing. Sometimes small comments and other times actual reporters speaking out, they never did that during the campaign as they worshiped the pos Obama.
First, we’re conservatives who believe in the rule of law - both a blessing and a curse. took the Founders 25 years to organize, create a political base and find leaders to take on the British Crown. The leftists have been working to overthrow the United States since 1910. And every succeeding generation has done nothing to stop it. So the work falls to us.
We’re at the organization stage. That’s good. From here, we’ll find our George Washington and Col. Moultrie and Sergeant Jasper.
In the meantime, as we all know the Democrats are thumbing their noses at we the people. The resultant ire is pushing at the wall and they can’t see it. They are being told that the majority of the people don’t want what they are doing, and they continue to do it anyway. They can’t be that stupid that they can’t see the sentiment that is welling up. People are out of work and they are fiddling while Rome burns on a health insurance bill that they know won’t make it in the end. Families are loosing their homes and they are talking about the limp wristed one Obama making promises at Copenhagen that will tax the living daylights out of our energy. They are unreal! There is no question but that they are heading in a direction that will suddenly spur a push back, and it may not be just in the voting booth. If you are reading this, make an effort to alert them of how you feel. If only a few of us do it, they will think they are getting away with it. As you can see by these signs, some have already been pushed too far by these clowns. Take a shot at waking them ( politicians) up by contacting them and telling them your thoughts. Might save us all a period of upheaval.

The Left's Attack Machine Grinding Away With TV Ads About Awesome Michele Bachmann
Bachmann has a target on her back
The left's attack machine is already grinding away with TV ads.
by Katherine Kersten
A smear machine fueled by huge sums of cash has fixed its sights on a new Public Enemy No. 1. Her name is U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Minnesota voters won't be heading to the polls until November 2010, almost a year from now, but this machine is already pouring megabucks into a TV ad campaign attacking Bachmann. In the ad, an actress portraying the congresswoman greets voters with oil oozing from her hands. A frightened baby wails, and constituents glare with disgust at the sticky handprints she leaves on their backs. The message? Bachmann is a shill for Big Oil.
Attack ads such as this are just one weapon in the multifront assault that Bachmann will face in coming months. For insight into what's on the horizon, we can look to Colorado. There, a cabal of Democratic activists, led by high-tech mogul Tim Gill, has masterminded a potent new political strategy that's "redefining liberal politics," according to Time magazine.
It's no surprise that Bachmann finds herself in the left's cross hairs. She is everything its zealots most despise: a woman who flaunts feminist orthodoxy and dares to advocate limited government, free markets and traditional marriage.
The Colorado model is fueled by unprecedented piles of money, contributed by a clubby group of multimillionaires. It uses left-wing nonprofit organizations, rather than traditional Democratic Party channels, to get its message to voters. Its scorched-earth tactics range from smear ads that twist the facts to trumped-up charges of ethical violations.
Using this strategy, left-wing activists have transformed Colorado from Red to deep Blue since 2004. Democrats have announced plans to export their model to other states, and Rob Stein of the George Soros-funded Democracy Alliance has put Minnesota at the top of the list.
Wild Thing's comment........
Liberals don't allow for those with Christian Traditional Family Values.
This is one of the reaons why we need to stay active. The RINO RNC withheld funds from Bachmann in her last election. Michele had to depend on individual contributions, just like with Hoffman. She begged the RNC to help her, but they wrote her off as a “lost cause.”Wealthy PACs and lefty moguls will do anything to stop Conservatives all over the country. If we don’t fight back.

There is Only One Way For Peace ~ President Ronald Reagan
"A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Alexander Hamilton
Let's set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace--and you can have it in the next second--surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face--that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand--the ultimatum. And what then?
When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for "peace at any price" or "better Red than dead," or as one commentator put it, he would rather "live on his knees than die on his feet."
And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don't speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin--just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance. This is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater's "peace through strength." Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits--not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

Glenn Beck Speech at the Villages in Florida
Glenn Beck rally: The Villages retirement community in Florida, November 21, 2009
.
">
Mid Term Elections: "If you're in there, you are part of the problem, look out brother because you ain't gonna have a job next year.
Health Care Reform: "Destroy the economy, destroy the country, if it passes we will fundamentally transform America and it will not survive, I don't know how long it will take, but it will not survive"
Afghanistan: "Our country asked these people to serve, they are in harms way, it is immoral to ask people to serve, then not give them everything that they asked for, give them what they asked for to complete the job or pull them home.
Glenn Beck announces educational conventions
During a massive rally here that capped off a whirlwind three-day book tour, Fox News television host Glenn Beck, fast becoming one of the right’s most visible icons, addressed an adoring crowd and lay the seedlings for a burgeoning grassroots conservative political movement.
Beck’s speech, delivered in 45 minutes under gathering clouds in the downtown square of this retirement community, was much-anticipated for its promised reveal of “a plan” the television personality had been heavily promoting on his weekly show, his web page, and in media interviews leading up to Saturday’s rally.
These conventions, Beck told the crowd of thousands, would serve to register new voters and educate people on issues touching on energy, health care, foreign policy and social issues.
“You’re going to learn about history, finance, community organizing,” he said, to cheers. “If you want to be a politician, we’re going to teach you how to be a politician.”
Beck said he wants to develop “a 100-year plan for America” and told the crowd, “You will change the course of history.”
Following the rally, Beck held a book-signing to promote his current book, “Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government,” a New York Times bestseller.
Addressing a crowd that held signs blaring such messages as “I Want My America Back!”, “Danger: Right-Wing Extremist” and “Glenn Beck for President,” Beck painted a doomsday scenario describing the nation as stuck in “troubled, troubled times” and urged Americans to reverse the “corruption” in government today.
“Everything is upside down right now,” he said. “I’d like to name us all, the Constitution Czar.”
In his remarks, the television host and former radio disc jockey mixed in details of his own roughshod past with a spiritual sounding call in which he called for Americans to rediscover their faith, start living within their means, and to “question with boldness” everything.
He said he’s assembled “a team of advisors” to consult him on matters dealing with the most pressing issues of the day and urged them to embrace a community-building process to attempt to get others on board.
“Two can play at that game,” he said knowingly, more than once, as the crowd cheered.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
I applaud Glenn's efforts and the turn out for his appearances has been large.
I hope his rallies and speeches will get conservatives to see they have to get out an vote and work to support conservatives running for office. Apathy has been like some horrible disease in our country and too many let others do the work for them . Too many don't even know what bills are being passed nor have they cared.
To be honest I am not sure if Glenn is wanting a third party thing happening or what, but I ONLY care about conservatives to be strong and get more Republicans that ARE conservatives elected.
The Republican Party was always awesome when lead and filled with conservatives and we stuck to our base and vaues for America. Over the years the disappointed lefties I think have joined the Republican party and brought with them their VERY liberal agenda. Vote out the rino's and lefties that have joined .

Despite being characterized by many as a divisive force in her party and the nation, Americans are much more likely to give Palin a positive rating (47 percent favorable) than another prominent female leader — Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (28 percent favorable). Moreover, about six in 10 Americans (61 percent) think Palin has been treated unfairly by the press, according to the latest Fox News poll

Pastor Manning Visited By Secret Service, Expects To Be Arrested
Pastor Manning Visited By Secret Service, Expects To Be Arrested
Pastor James David Manning, one of President Obama's most vocal and outspoken critics, has just released a video in which he claims that on the afternoon of November 16th, 2009, while at his ATLAH World Missionary Church, he was visited by two CIA agents. Manning says the agents claimed that they were from Homeland Security and were accompanied by two NYPD Detectives.
Pastor Manning also said he expects to be arrested within the next few days and charged with "the threat against the life of a U.S. President", and he believes that this arrest is imminent.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Thank you CB for telling me about this.
The long-legged mack daddy has sent his goons to shake down the Reverend. Do they seriously think Rev Manning is a security threat ? This is intimidation from Rahm Emanuel, pure and simple. He says in the video it is about the birth certificate.
Rev Manning is correct. When and if Obama is found to be unqualified to be President, everything he has signed is null and void. Obama IS not constitutionally qualified to be in our White House. It sickens me that this is not the top issue being talked about! Rev. Manning is right! And also he has never threatened Obama's life. Dr. Manning is a true Patriot that speaks without FEAR!
Pastor Manning holds all the aces in this high stakes poker game.
The Constitution says that no one can be President unless they are a natural born citizen. Just waving a phony computer printout around in a criminal case is hardly sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama is a natural born citizen. Additionally, the defendant has the right to force the government to produce witnesses who possess relevant information on the critical NBC element such as the vital records custodians in Honolulu. Perjury is the penalty for false testimony.

Ronald Reagan Speech - 1964 Republican National Convention
.
Wild Thing's comment...........
I long to see such greatness in a leader again. I really miss President Reagan.
Great line from Reagan...
"We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind...and it's been said that if we lose this war, and in so doing, lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who have the most to lose did the least to prevent it from happening."
Today that enemy is two-fold. Terrorism and liberalism. The time of "doing nothing" is over. Conservatives need to fight back, and hard.
Interestingi how something said over 44 years ago can be so revelant today. This speech is one for the ages. And the battle he asked us to join, is not yet over. God bless Ronald Reagan.
And in it we find wisdom from the past:
” Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face—that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.

We will keep in mind and remember that Barry Goldwater has faith in us. He has faith that you and I have the ability and the dignity and the right to make our own decisions and determine our own destiny.

Doug Hoffman: ACORN and the Unions Will Not Have Their Way!
Doug Hoffman: ACORN and the Unions Will Not Have Their Way!
Our Campaign Is Not Over Yet!
So many people have written hoping we continue the fight, count every ballot and make sure no one steals this election. Acorn and the unions did their best to try and say that the conservative movement was a sham. Rest assured they will not succeed. On Election Night the information we received was far different from what we received this week. They will not silence our voice that easily!
There is also the fact that NY is using the Sequoia Voting Systems machines. Princeton University (http://citp.princeton.edu/voting/advantage/) cited them as having been susceptible to voter fraud in the past. There's a reason why the State of California BANNED them. Yet we must now prepare for this possibility as well.
We are working to get the message out that this election is far from over! Our campaign and the New York Conservative Party is watching this recount and preparing for our next course of action. On Friday Doug appeared on Cavuto on FoxNews and will appear on Glen Beck's radio show on Monday. It is a call-to-arms for conservatives. Help however you can; post blogs, comment on websites and donate to help us mount a challenge if need be!
NY - Despite the fact that Bill Owens has already been sworn-in and has voted on crucial legislation in the House of Representatives, he may not have actually won the NY-23 Congressional Special Election.
Several errors were made during the initial vote counts. Over 2,000 votes for contender Doug Hoffman were not counted in the preliminary results, narrowing the current vote gap to less than 3,000 votes between Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative Doug Hoffman.
The errors were discovered during the standard vote recanvas that has been underway since November 4th. The largest error occurred in Oswego County where the vote recanvas found a discrepancy of more than 1,200 votes in Doug Hoffman's favor. Another error, in Jefferson County contributed an additional 700 votes in Hoffman's favor during the recount.
The election was close enough even on election night that the New York State Board of Elections was unable to present a "clear decision" in the race according to John Conklin, Communications Director for the department. He said that the Board sent a letter to the Clerk of the House of Representatives in Washington indicating that they could not yet determine a winner and could therefore not certify the election until after the recanvas and absentee ballot count. Those final numbers will not be available until at least mid-December.
Nancy Pelosi was only able to legally swear-in Bill Owens because Doug Hoffman had conceded the election, indicating that he did not contest the initial, and now shown erroneous, results, something he may not have done if he had been aware of how close the election was.
Mr. Hoffman told the Gouverneur Times that he felt at the time that he "was being a good sport" in doing so. With 93% of the polls in and counted and a margin of over 5,000 votes in favor of Owens, he felt he had lost the election. He now says that "while hindsight is 20/20, if I had known it was that close, I probably would have waited."
Bill Owens was sworn in 2 days later and proceeded to vote in favor of Pelosi's health care bill the following day. While Mr. Hoffman feels that deliberately contesting the results of the election to prevent Owens' deciding vote in the Health Care bill would "not have been very sportsmanlike," and that he, personally, would not like to see a politician manipulate events in that manner, he also indicated that the good of the American people and the citizens of the 23rd district would have weighed in on that decision as well.
As it stands now, Bill Owens may be in Washington and voting the Pelosi Party line but when the vote is certified he may be ousted. The state Board of Elections indicated that "...all ballots will be counted, and if the result changes, Owens will have to be removed." Concession speech or not, if the voters in the 23rd District elected Doug Hoffman and not Bill Owens, then Hoffman will be the Representative.
There are currently over 10,000 uncounted absentee ballots, many of which were in the military where a strongly conservative bias exists. Given the narrow margin of Owens' lead at this time, it's entirely possible that this race could still swing for Hoffman.
Sources indicate that the Democrats would not have had the votes to pass the Health bill if Owens had not been sworn-in and pledged his support for it. Several other Representatives have indicated that they would not have cast their votes in favor of the bill if they were not certain that it had the votes to win.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This should be a warning to conservatives... do NOT concede too soon!
The winner is whomever received the most amount of votes, and this race hasn’t been certified since the votes haven’t all been counted.
Oh man, wouldn’t this be amazing? That would be great is Hoffman does win and they oust Owens.
Sportsmanlike?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Fight it out to the last dang vote is counted. Democraps would never concede anything in a sportsmanlike fashion. They lie and cheat their way to victory. Hoffman should hang in there and retake that seat. See if THEY will be sportsmanlike.

Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret) Statement on Fort Hood Shooting ~ A MUST READ!!!
*** This is a must read! Awesome! ***
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret) Statement on Fort Hood Shooting.
His website
Last Thursday, 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood.
My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.
A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.
A military installation is supposed to be a place where our warriors train for war, to serve and protect our nation.
On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.
There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.
We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the pre-shooting stress on the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called, “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.
This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is: an Islamic jihadist attack.
We have seen this before in March 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ. Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station.
We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.
What have we seen done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.
What we see are leaders paralyzed and refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.
Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood. Moreover, he should have been administratively discharged from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been sufficient proof.
However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we hear was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his nation, and CAIR stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.
We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar,” the same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.
No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people. Our Congress should suspend further action on the preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.
The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement: they are terrorist apologists, not a civil rights organization.
We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach.. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Of course not. Because they aren’t allowed by the Saudi government.
So much for peaceful coexistence.
Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.
We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.
I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.
Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial and realize a simple point.
The reality of your enemy must become your own.
Steadfast and Loyal,
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

Wild Thing's comment........
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West is always so good. He also has an awesome story.
This is excellent what he has written about Fort Hood.
I have never seen Col. West get a single thing wrong.
He is exactly what we hope for in an American soldier. Too bad Gen. Casey has gone the PC route.
Lt. Col. West is running for Congress in Florida.
http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/
He is what we need not only in our military but in government to fight back against the destruction of our country.
Lt. Col. West studies and understands the principles and ideas upon which this nation was founded. Further, he can articulate them and defend them.
This is his Facebook

Rush to Interview Sarah Palin on Tuesday's Program at 1PM ET
On Friday's show Rush said is he interviewed Sarah Palin yesterday for an upcoming issue of The Limbaugh Letter. He said Sarah will also be on the cover- that’s a first!
Sarah will be on Rush’s show LIVE at the top of the second hour Tuesday, November 17.
That would be at 1 PM Eastern.
RUSH:
Yesterday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I interviewed Governor Palin for the upcoming issue of the Limbaugh Letter. It will be our cover story.
She will be the cover story, she's the interview, and she will be here live on the radio next Tuesday, the day her book is released, at the top of the second hour. I talked to her yesterday, I've got the book, I have it right over there and I've had a chance, I just got it a couple days ago, three days ago, and I've had a chance to go through it, and I made a prediction to her when I talked to her yesterday. I said, "You've got enough in here that people who get hold of this, like the AP or any of the State-Controlled Media, they're gonna focus on the soap opera aspects of your book, and they're going to ignore what is truly one of the most substantive policy books I've read."
This woman, Governor Palin, clearly is jazzed by policy, particularly environmental policy and energy policy, as well as taxes and so forth. I talked to her about the future of the Republican Party, what she thought about New York-23, how she deals with the character assassination, not just of herself, but of her entire family. It was fascinating, and we'll do it again on Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock eastern time. She sent out a message here on Facebook: "'Keep Your Powder Dry' -- As you probably have heard, the AP snagged a copy of my memoir, Going Rogue, before its Tuesday release. And as is expected, the AP and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book. Keep your powder dry, read the book, and enjoy it! Lots of great stories about my family, Alaska, and the incredible honor it was to run alongside Senator John McCain. We can't wait to hit the road and meet so many on the book tour! See you in Michigan first." That's Sarah Palin's post -- her reacting.
One of the things the AP is focusing on is nonsense. I should have printed out the AP story. I didn't do it. Rather than try to paraphrase it I'll find it during the break. (interruption) Well, not going after her son-in-law? You mean this Levi? He's not her son-in-law, but no, she doesn't mention him. She doesn't mention him in the book. Nobody can stop talking about this guy, this Levi Johnston, but she doesn't mention him in the book. She's pretty open and honest about being locked up and confined and not allowed to be herself by certain people in the McCain campaign, Nicolle Wallace who set her up with the Katie Couric interview. You know, I told you that I had some friends in town last week and I blew my stack again when one of them started asking me questions about Sarah Palin based on media reports. This guy brought up the Palin-Katie Couric interview and that's when I started throwing the napkin. I said, "Don't you know what happened there?"
Nicolle Wallace, who used to work at CBS, pushed that interview on Couric to help Couric. Couric's numbers were in the tank, and she told Palin some things that were not true, and most of that interview ended up on the cutting room floor. The substance of the interview, it was a total setup, a total setup. "Well, why didn't she know that?" She was on a leash. When you read this book, you'll find that they dressed her. She wanted to wear her clothes. They started this whole controversy about paying for the clothes, were they donated, this kind of thing. They would not let her mention, they wouldn't let her give a shout-out to George Bush during the campaign for keeping the country safe after 9/11. They wouldn't let her make a concession speech alongside McCain the night that he gave what many thought was his best speech of the campaign.
There are many other instances of stuff inside the campaign that I think will help people understand what the real problem or series of problems was. I mean she really dishes it out at Steve Schmidt, who was the campaign manager. They wouldn't let her go back and talk to the press on the campaign plane. I woulda gone nuts had I been in that position, that muzzled and that directed. But, you know, she's not hard on McCain. She talks about it was an honor serving with him as his vice presidential nominee. Anyway, you'll learn all of this when you read the book, it's going to come out to Tuesday. It's going to set sales records, it already has. One-and-a-half million printing is what's the original, and it's going to go higher than that.
Fantastic!!!! Thank you Rush and Sarah!!! And here is Ann Coulter on "The Early Show" talking about Sarah Palin and her new book. Ann Coulter said Palin is "an authentic American, the way most members of the media are not." She also said Palin is "a very powerful voice for Conservatism" and "has a lot of appeal out in America."

Gov. Rick Perry says Obama Taking U.S. Toward Socialism
I am sorry but the audio on this is very low so if you turn up your volume it is perfect. ~ Wild Thing
Texas Gov. Rick Perry saying the Obama Administrations is "hell-bent on taking America towards a socialist country.”
Perry told an audience that Obama's Administration is seeking to "punish" the state of Texas by trucking illegal aliens caught along the border in California and Arizona to the small town of Presidio, Texas (pop. 4600) and "turning them loose" to the tune of 92 per day. The program is called the "Alien Transfer and Exit Program." Perry said that in a year's time, that is 28,000 people. Faced with the desert in Mexico or settling in Texas, they are returning to Texas.
Perry said it is time to "stand up" to Obama and urged "Tea Parties" that are "twice as big" as the ones that have already been held.
Perry also said ObamaCare and the Cap and Trade legislation will devastate the economy.
Perry was speaking to the Midland County Republican Women's Conference.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Good for Gov. Perry. I wish all the gov's would be like this and say what it is that Obama is doing to our country.

North Houston Tea Party HUGE Turnout TEA Party at the Sam Houston Race Track
Houston Tea Party rally draws more than 10,000
More than 10,000 people turned out Monday night for a North Houston Tea Party Patriots gathering to protest proposed health care reform and what they called big government spending and overzealous government leadership, according to preliminary attendance figures.
Under clear skies and a perfect moon, crowds packed the field at the Sam Houston Race Park and cheered loudly as speakers called for the people to take control of the American government. Wearing slogans that said “Don't Tread on Me” and T-shirts stating, “I am a Tea Party Patriot — I will defend our Constitution,” those attending the event enthusiastically showed support for more constraints on the government and more personal freedom.
“This isn't about ‘I can't stand Barack Obama' — this is about ‘I can't stand a government that will tread on me,' ” said Houston radio talk show host and TV anchor Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo to a rousing burst of applause from the audience.
“Taxes are going up because we have to pay for health care for people who are here illegally,” Pagliarulo said. “We have to pay for health care for people who don't want health care ... We've got a government that's run amok — we've got a government that doesn't care about you or me. It cares about power, it cares about control.”
More than 10,000 people gathered at Sam Houston Race Park Monday night to make a political statement. Organizers believe it was the largest tea party in Houston.
Joe Pags was the MC. He did a fine job through out the entire event.
Apostle Claver gave the Invocation. It was really awesome! Later on, Claver came out and gave a talk that only he can do; He spoke and it was just magical. He mentioned at the end that he would like to see a TEA Party on MLK day because, MLK was Conservative.
If you have not seen Apostle Claver speak in public, seek him out! Really! You will not be sorry.
A taped message from Glenn Beck was played. It was somewhat of a pep talk.
Outlaw Dave came up next. That guy really believes in the 2nd Amendment.
Walton or Johnson (I’m not sure which one) was next. The guy that did speak said he was “the radical one”.
Lord Monckton, the Keynote Speaker, was next. Lord Monckton is a fascinating guy. He speaks out against Manmade Global Warming because not only is the science faulty (his opinion), but because it will take our freedom away. He also spoke about how the President will be signing the Copenhagen Treaty in December and that will give a good bit of our freedoms away.
The last speaker was Mattress Mack. He spoke about the recent fire at his business, Gallery Furniture, and how the brave firefighters were there to help everyone and put out the fire. He gave that as an example of good government. But then he got up the next day and started rebuilding. Of course he did not get nor ask for a government bailout. He did have an interesting twist on things: He believes that unless we are able to work and have the fruits of our own labor, we are not truly free.

Let Your Voice Be Heard: A Message From Congressman Mike Pence
AWESOME! Congressman Mike Pence released the following video, urging all Americans to rise up and let their voices be heard in regard to the Pelosi health care plan.
.
Here’s the transcript–
“As President Ronald Reagan said: ‘Since the American founding, we have been a people with a government, not the other way around.’”
“Now comes the Pelosi plan for a government takeover of health care. It is a freight train of runaway spending, bloated bureaucracy, mandates and higher taxes.
“If the liberals in Washington have their way, they will forever change the relationship between the government and ‘we the people.’
“If the Pelosi plan for a government takeover of health care passes, we will each become dependent on the political class in Washington for the provision of services of the most urgent and personal nature.
“Illness, our own, or more importantly the illness of a parent, or a spouse, or a child, has the capacity to suspend our priorities.
“What was important before the crisis grows dim in the harsh light of disease affecting a loved one.
“The Pelosi health care plan targets us when we are most vulnerable.
“The Pelosi health care plan makes us dependent on the state at the most urgent moment in the life of our family.
“Their hope: that little by little, we’ll yield our freedoms and our resources to the ever-growing appetite of the federal government.
“After years of runaway federal spending, borrowing, bailouts and takeovers, it’s easy to give way to despair; but I assure you: there is a remnant that still cherishes freedom, personal responsibility and limited government all across this land.
“I have seen it in the faces of ordinary Americans who have traveled to rallies, town halls and tea parties. I have read it in my mail. I have heard it from friends and neighbors who have lost their jobs but not lost their faith in America.
“The time has come for those who still cherish our ideals—the ideals of our founding: life, liberty and the pursuit of the American dream—to arise.
“Wherever you are, whoever you are, let your voice be heard.
“Republicans in Congress who are standing in the gap, cannot do this alone.
“I often tell my colleagues that a minority in Congress plus the American people equals a majority.
“‘We the people’ have the power to stop out-of-control spending at the federal level.
“‘We the people’ have to power to stop the Pelosi health care plan, in its effort to take over one-sixth of the American economy.
“And ‘we the people’ have the ability to protect the finest health care system this world has ever known and demand real health care reform that will reduce the cost of health care without growing government.
“I appeal to you not as Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives, but as Americans.
“You cherish freedom, you fear the crushing weight of big government and debt that Congress and this Administration are leaving to our posterity, and you still believe that the strength of this nation is in the character and courage and ingenuity of the American people, and not the politicians and the bureaucrats.
“This is your moment, now is your time, let your voice be heard.”

Dick Cheney Blasts Obama and the "Drumbeat of Defeatism" on Afghanistan ~ Thank You Cheney!!
Dick Cheney Blasts Barack Obama and the "Drumbeat of Defeatism" on Afghanistan -- FOX News
Dick Cheney gave a speech at the Center for Security Policy (full text below), where he blasts the Obama team's Afghanistan efforts.
He accuses the Obama team of plagiarism, saying that Obama administration's embrace of a counterinsurgency strategy announced in March
"bears a striking resemblance to the strategy we passed to them. "Now they seem to be pulling back and blaming others for their failure to implement the strategy they embraced," he said. "It's time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity."
Cheney also went after the President's lack of decision about General McCrystal's troop request:
"Having announced his Afghanistan strategy last March, President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete his mission," he said, calling on Obama to fulfill a promise he made in August to armed forces in a speech at the VFW to give them the support and resources need to get the job done.
"It's time for President Obama to make good on his promise," he said. "The White House must stop dithering while America's armed forces are in danger."
"Make no mistake, signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries," he added. "Waffling, while our troops on the ground face an emboldened enemy, endangers them and hurts our cause."

News On ElRushbo and the Left's Agenda
Juan Williams Responds To Ballentine's Racial Slur On O'Reilly
A black guy named Warren Ballantine during debate with Juan Williams (on O’Reilly) told Juan that “real black people” don’t like Rush..then told Juan to “go back to the porch”
Ken Hutcherson " HUTCH" Rush's freind
"Instead of having a civil discussion, he decided to take a cheap shot at me, this guy told me to 'go back to the porch,' that's code for being an uncle Tom, house negro, lazy and a tool for slave owners...
A real man would probably apologize, say it was in poor taste and move on, apparently it's o.k. to uses these kinds of racial slurs as longs as you're defending the politically correct thing to do"
Thanks to the Washington Post's Roman Oben, we now have complete clarity on the new rules for potential NFL team owners: Obama critics need not apply.
In a candid moment during today's Al Sharpton radio show (probably not intended for the rest of us to hear), Oben admitted that Rush's political views regarding Obama were key to the opposition that appears to have derailed his bid to purchase the St Louis Rams.
Were the fabricated racist statements and overall smear campaign simply added to camouflage the real (partisan political) agenda?
Oben's revelation comes a day after news that Barack-tart Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas was given the green light to purchase a portion of the Miami Dolphins.
Here's the exclusive clip and transcript of Oben's statement heard on Sharpton's program:
ROMAN OBEN ( located at 14:48 in the video):
Sports brings this country together and it does not separate and when you have a guy like Rush Limbaugh who's made a living and made a lot of money doing it and has made a living tearing the Clinton Administration, or whether it was the Obama Administration, and now, you know all the quotes, you heard everything he said whether we have to grab our ankles and bend over because Obama’s dad was black. All the things that he said. Now he wants to be a part of an NFL ownership.
Now, he’s not going to be a minority owner. He would assert himself on some of these committees and it would be just a matter of time before he said something on a bigger platform than what he said about McNabb. Now he’s going to say something that’s going to negatively reflect the Rams organization and the NFL as a whole and that something I think Roger Goodell and the NFL PA (Players Association) should pay attention to.
Just hours later, it was announced that the smear machine championed by Oben, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and others had succeeded in derailing Limbaugh's NFL bid.
Welcome to America circa 2009, where loyalty to the ruling class determines private ownership of assets. Sound more than a bit like Chavez's Venezuela?

Wild Thing's comment.......
Here’s the thing about Juan- he’s a fair-minded person. He’s a liberal in ideology- but he’s a decent guy.
Even Jay Leno said something on the Leno show.
"LENO: Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group of investors who were trying to buy the St. Louis Rams. Speculation was that Limbaugh was considered by the league to be too controversial, you know, unlike Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, Coach Tom Cable, Plaxico Burress."

Drunk Rick Sanchez of CNN Is A Hit and Run Driver Now Also LIES About Rush
.
Rick Sanchez of CNN Ran Over a Man Then Fled the Scene. Two Hours Later, Sanchez Was Still Drunk.
Rick Sanchez quoted Rush Limbaugh on CNN and the quote was fabricated. The racially insensitive quote attributed to Limbaugh was made up on the internet and not uttered by Rush.
Sanchez has refused to apologize for using the quote in a hit job on Limbaugh designed to destroy Limbaugh’s bid for the St. Louis Rams.
Here is what is real.
Rick Sanchez ran over a man and left the guy for dead.
It was December 10, 1990. Sanchez was leaving a Miami Dolphins game when he ran over a man. Sanchez fled the scene for two hours.
Finally, Sanchez came back. Two hours after the incident, Sanchez was still drunk — well above the legal limit. But Sanchez was a well known Miami reporter with lots of friends on the police force. He was never charged with the hit and run. He just pled no contest to DUI.
The man Sanchez hit and ran away from? He died in 1995, paralyzed and in a nursing home.
This is the guy who decided to take to television this week and moralize against Rush.
Mark Levin Show
On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show:
Mark Levin - audio from yesterday - supporting Rush, destroying Sharpton
Mark discusses Rush Limbaugh being denied a chance to be one of the owners of the St. Louis Rams. This wasn't a big deal until Al Sharpton came around and started lambasting him for being a conservative. This is more than just ownership of a football team, this is about liberty and being able to participate in this society as a legal citizen, and Rush is being denied that.
So, Mark brings up some of Al Sharpton's past shady dealings and asks where was the outrage against him back then? He also calls Al Sharpton the new Commissioner of the NFL, since apparently he now runs what the NFL decides. Also, Michele Bachmann calls in and discusses a one-day fundraising blitz to counter Nancy Pelosi.

This audio is FULL of information about Rick Sanchez at CNN as well. Mark did an awesome thing, thank you Mark for your support of Rush.
Congresswoman Jackson Lee Ask NFL To Put Ownership Standards In Place
Rush Limbaugh responded to her : "I wonder if Ms. Jackson Lee has any regard for the truth. Does she have any regard for hoping, desiring to sound intelligent and knowledgeable, or is she content to be happy and proud to go the floor of the House of Representatives and make a fool of herself?
"What makes [Jackson Lee] a sports expert?" Limbaugh asked.
Limbaugh asserted that the media and Democrats are spreading "lies and fabrications and misstatements" about him, suggesting that his comments on McNabb have been distorted.
He added, "She can say what she wants. These are the people who have power over us ... I don't have any power over Sheila Jackson Lee and I don't seek any power over Sheila Jackson Lee. She, on the other hand, is the opposite. She wants power over not just me, but of as many people she can get."
McGraw Milhaven Morning talk show host on KTRS St. Louis
Milhaven:
"This by definition is a high tech lynching, There are people out there - especially some St. Louis sports writers - who don't like Rush Limbaugh's politics. And they make up quotes. And do anything they can do to besmirch the man, to defile him, so they make it as awful as possible so that the NFL says, 'This is too toxic. I don't want to touch it.'" This is a high tech lynching"
MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER'S BRENT BOZELL RESPONDS TO CNN AND MSNBC'S CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF RUSH LIMBAUGH: "I HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD LAWYERS"
Media Research Center President Reports Back on CNN, MSNBC Character Assassination of Rush Limbaugh, Issues Ultimatum to All Media Spreading Racist Lies
Yesterday, MRC President Brent Bozell promised to report back publicly with how CNN and MSNBC responded to his challenge to put up – or shut up – proof that Rush Limbaugh actually stated the racist quote that both cable networks attributed to him as fact, or to immediately retract and apologize for their participation in spreading an outlandish lie. Talk show giant Limbaugh denied having ever stated, “Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.” Further, it has been established that this was a fabrication pushed through the Internet, intentionally designed to destroy Mr. Limbaugh’s reputation at a time he is attempting to purchase a professional football team.
In addition to this public call to action, Mr. Bozell overnighted letters to CNN President Jonathan Klein and MSNBC President Phil Griffin to ensure both took the matter seriously.
Both CNN and MSNBC failed to respond appropriately.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez, who was responsible for pushing this lie initially, had the gall to repeat the lie but this time also attaching Mr. Limbaugh’s denial, suggesting the truth was unclear when the truth is absolutely crystal clear. CNN neither apologized nor retracted.
MSNBC was even worse. This disgraceful network continued to repeat this smear on MSNBC Live.
Neither showed any initiative to source the fabricated quote, nor did either network retract or apologize for spreading the false propaganda on their broadcast airwaves. Instead, both CNN and MSNBC repeated the fictitious statement that was created to smear Rush Limbaugh and his character.
MRC President Brent Bozell issued the following statement:
“The CNN and MSNBC ‘news’ networks are guilty of promoting outright falsehoods and purposely using fabricated disinformation created by left-wing radicals to destroy a conservative leader. There is no grey area here. CNN and MSNBC were given ample opportunity to come clean, but both are continuing to masquerade malicious lies as credible.
“Perhaps if they spent less time fact-checking SNL comedy skits and more time fact-checking what they laughably call ‘news,’ they would have a chance to salvage their tattered reputations, sinking even faster with this intentional character assassination.
“We are tabulating exactly who has engaged in this smear campaign and will reveal a complete list of willful participants at a press conference next week. Everyone now knows that these statements attributed to Rush are lies. Those who have repeated them have 24 hours to retract and publicly apologize – or you will be named among those intentionally engaged in character assassination.
“I understand Mr. Limbaugh has threatened legal action. I hope you all have good lawyers.
.

Steve Wynn Was AWESOME ~ Criticizes Obama on Sunday Morning News Show
.
Steve Wynn Crushes Obama Jobs Plan and Strategy
Wynn criticizes Obama on Sunday morning news show
Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chairman Steve Wynn participated in a roundtable discussion on Fox News Sunday this morning, discussing the state of the economy with host Chris Wallace.
Wynn, fresh off his successful initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, criticized President Barack Obama administration’s handling of the economy. Wallace introduced Wynn by saying Nevada’s current unemployment rate, 13.2 percent, was second highest in the nation.
“The priorities of the administration should have been focused on jobs from the inauguration forward,” Wynn said. “People would have had a positive outlook toward tomorrow when they have a job. The priority should have been job creation.”
Wynn, who opened the $2.3 billion Encore at Wynn Las Vegas last December, said he hired 5,000 employees for the resort.
“My return on investment hasn’t been that great,” Wynn said.
But he is fearful that current economic debate in Congress is more harmful than helpful.
“It’s counter productive,” Wynn said.
Also taking part in the discussion were Democratic Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s, who has advised Republicans and Democrats.
Wynn took issue with some of Zandi comments. At one point Wynn said, “the economists had their moment.” He also sparred with Granholm, over the role of government.
“Government never increased the standard of living of a single human in history,” Wynn said. “How do you increase someone’s standard of living? Give them a job.”
Most of Wynn’s criticism, however, was directed at Obama, whose election was publicly supported by his soon-to-be ex-wife Elaine Wynn.
“Consumer confidence will return when the unemployment rate goes down,” Wynn said. ”Soaring speeches, with or without a teleprompter, are not issue. Government has never created a job or their standard of living.”
Granholm, however, jumped in, citing the creation of the minimum wage that has helped millions of workers.
Wynn countered by saying the health care debate has confused the matter and delayed any economic fix. He said he employs 20,000 and has provided insurance coverage for 150,000 families in his career.
“Healthcare is something I know about,” Wynn said. “It’s a complicated and technical issue. Everybody in this administration has zero experience in dealing with healthcare. They should be focused on job creation.”
Daniels sided with Wynn on several points and Wallace allowed the casino operator the final word in the debate.
“We need to focus on the simple truths,” Wynn said. “Simple truths hold institutions together. We have lost our focus.”
Some highlights: Complete transcript HERE
WALLACE: Steve Wynn, where do you draw the line between the proper role of government in all of this and the proper role of the private sector?
WYNN: Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization’s history. For some reason, that simple truth has evaded everybody.
The only thing that creates an increased standard of living is giving someone a job, the demand for their labor, whether it’s you and I, Chris, or anybody else.
The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America. And soaring rhetoric and great speeches, with or without a Teleprompter, aren’t going to change the truth. And the truth is the biggest enemy, the biggest obstacle, that working middle class America has is government spending.
WYNN: OK. That’s my point, Governor. I’m not making any other point. And believe me, ma’am, I’ve got 20,000 employees. I’ve had as many as 150,000 families that I’ve been self-insuring. There’s nothing simplistic about my approach to this problem.
WYNN: Well, health care, something I know about, is a complicated technical issue for which practically everybody in this administration has absolutely zero experience. It was not a priority.
Job creation was the priority from the day that this president was inaugurated. It has been eclipsed by a technical, confusing conversation in which hardly anybody has read the small print on a thing called health care.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Steve Wynn really has his head screwed on straight. Know and clearly states government doesn't not create wealth and private sector does not belong to the government. He was Awesome!!
Granholm comes unglued defending government and mistates his position.
Then Wynn keeps kicking liberal butts. He said he has never laid anyone off, but if Pelosi and the Dems have their way, he and many other employers will have to do layoffs because of all the taxes. He also said he was grateful to have casinos in China in order to generate foreign currency.
Granholm's posture has gone completely hostile. She is still speaking in a composed manner, but you can tell she's mad about getting outclassed by Wynn.
Wynn rebutts and you can tell he hates her.LOL Good!
Wynn gets the last word. Calmly declares that private sector job creaion is what will build cars, and that government understands none of that. Calls it a simple truth.
WALLACE: We've got less than a minute left.
Steve Wynn, since I think she was responding to some of your comments, you get the last word.
WYNN: Punishing attitude -- take it to the government, we know what's best. I don't think they do. I think these are complicated subjects. Job creation, the chance to build more cars, comes from people having a job. Focus on that simple truth. Simple truths hold institutions together. We've lost our focus, and that's my opinion.

GOP Members Fire At Muslim Targets At Local Range
GOP Members Fire At Muslim Targets At Local Range
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.
A group of South Florida Republicans held a recent weekly meeting at a gun range.
While that is not anything unusual, the fact that that the group of Republicans spent time shooting at targets including cut-outs of a Muslim holding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher surprised many.
The GOP candidate to replace U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Robert Lowry, was also a part of the group and fired at a full-body silhouette with "DWS" written next to its head.
Wasserman-Schultz declined comment, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called the Tuesday event "extremist" and "sexist." Lowry initially described the target as a joke, but minutes later called it a mistake.
Others in the Southeast Broward Republican Club event refused to apologize for the target practice that featured both assault rifles and handguns.

The Sacrifice of Our Founding Fathers ~ Awesome Video
"They pledged their Life, their fortune and their sacred honor. About the original 56 founders." ~ Mark
Wild Thing's comment...........
Watching this it brought tears to my eyes.
No person should be allowed to run for office that does not understand what our Constitution means to our country. The same for not getting what our Founding Fathers went through. One would think a politician would be someone that loved his country and wanted to serve in government to keep our country safe and on track of how it was established and set up by our Founding Fathers. But that is not reality when we have the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Barney Frank, John Kerry, the list goes on for miles, and yesss add in to that the many rino's as well.

Rubio vs. the RINOs
Rubio vs. the RINOs
by Elisabeth Meinecke
Don’t tell Marco Rubio his primary race for the U.S. senate against Florida Gov. Charlie Crist depends on money or endorsements. Rubio, who finished his term as Florida’s Speaker of the House in 2008, is focused on a much bigger picture: limiting government and thus liberating American entrepreneurship.
The impetus behind his campaign is that same wave of conservative outrage which carried Tea Party protesters to Washington and put Rubio’s race in the national spotlight. His race is about message (adherence to conservative principles), and, as Rubio says, the only amount of money he needs is the money to get that message out.
“I think all politics are about the grassroots. And the question is, do you work with the grassroots or manipulate the grassroots?” Rubio told HUMAN EVENTS in an exclusive interview last week. “Most campaigns try to manipulate the grassroots by raising so much money that they can kind of create false excitement…My campaign’s not based on that.”
Rubio’s race is a textbook example of what’s happening nationally -- as the grassroots express their concern with a radical left-wing administration, Republican party leadership will have to back off its initial policy post-election of ‘soften your message.’ A diluted Republican message is the watermark of Rubio's Republican primary opponent Charlie Crist, the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s anointed candidate in the race. Crist campaigned around Florida supporting President Obama’s “stimulus” spending spree and, after an “environmental summit” last year, proposed his own version of a “cap-and-trade” plan which the state legislature rejected.
“The United States does not need two Democratic parties,” Rubio insists, and, despite the Democrats’ stranglehold in both the House and the Senate, the makeup of Republicans who did get elected proves Rubio’s point. The group of conservatives in the U.S. House -- known as the Republican Study Committee -- now has 113 members, which means it represents well over half the total GOP (177) members in the House. By contrast, the Democrats’ Congressional Progressive Caucus, which houses left wing favorites like Barney Frank and is the largest Democrat caucus in the House, has only 83 members out of 262 Democrats (including delegates and the resident commissioner) in the House.
“I think next year’s elections, especially in the Republican primaries, are going to be a lot like a political Halloween,” Rubio said. “A lot of people are going to come dressed to the party like conservatives, but in fact, in the real…world, they haven’t been that, not in a principled way.
It’s exactly the kind of race Republican ‘leaders’ like the NRSC (not to mention the chairman of the Republican party in Rubio’s own state) are saying Rubio can’t win, and exactly the reason why Rubio is running -- because he sees a disconnect between party leaders and constituents. For example, Rubio says the majority of Americans don’t want to see their government adapting a Western European style invasion into the economy.
“They deserve to have a voice in American politics,” Rubio said. “And that’s what the Republican Party should be. And the road to success for this party is to be that voice for those Americans.”
That’s not the road traveled by Crist, who supported Obama’s stimulus package on the basis that it would sustain jobs. Rubio pointed out that Florida’s unemployment rate is still the highest it’s been since 1975 (10.7% in August, 10.8% in July versus the 11% in 1975). Rubio said the stimulus is like giving sugar or candy bar to a kid -- you get that initial rush of energy that is ultimately unsustainable.
“The only enduring legacy of this stimulus will be the deficit it’s left us with,” Rubio said. “I don’t care how much money he raises -- he will never convince Florida Republicans that the stimulus package and his embrace of it, and his campaigning in favor of it -- hand in hand with the president -- was a good thing for Florida, a good thing for their children, or a good thing for our country”
Rubio is frank in his assessment of why Crist went along with the stimulus at the time: Obama was popular.
“I think he supported the stimulus package because Barack Obama was popular at the time, and I think he supported it because he didn’t want to have a budget session in Tallahassee where he had to make difficult decisions -- which, quite frankly, is reflective of everything that’s wrong in American politics today,” Rubio said. “We have too many people that just want to be popular.”
But for Rubio, fiscal responsibility and limited government are crucial to a strong America. And Rubio says people are beginning to realize the world is ultimately safer with America as the strongest country.
“[The United Nations is] not going to be the place that secures human freedom and liberty,” Rubio said. “If we think that, we’re out of our minds.”
If the Obama administration’s radical policies result in politicians like Rubio coming to D.C. in 2010, Michelle Obama can once again be proud of her country.

"If the Obama administration’s radical policies result in politicians like Rubio coming to D.C. in 2010, Michelle Obama can once again be proud of her country."
LOL Love the dig at Michelle Obama.
Ths is a great article about Marco Rubio. It would be so awesome to see rino's like Crist put out to pasture. Not only in Florida but in all the States.
" I think next year’s elections, especially in the Republican primaries, are going to be a lot like a political Halloween,” Rubio said. “A lot of people are going to come dressed to the party like conservatives, but in fact, in the real…world, they haven’t been that, not in a principled way."
LOL good comparison to Halloween. Rubio hits the nail on the head, again and again and again.
Also the leader of conservatives in the Senate, Jim DeMint, endorsed Marco Rubio over Charlie Crist in the Florida Primary.
Sen. Jim DeMint: “There is no question Marco Rubio will be a big part of the Republican Party’s future, but I believe if we are to defeat the forces of Big Government now controlling Washington, Marco Rubio needs to be a big part of the Republican Party’s present. He has the skills and ideas we need to rebuild our party, reform our government, and renew our nation. I've endorsed Marco Rubio because Americans are outraged at the direction our country is being taken. Everywhere we look, the government is expanding and people are looking for an alternative and it's important that we don't offer the status quo, Democrat-lite, in 2010. I think Marco Rubio's message is inspiring. He gets you excited about being an American and a Republican. Marco has convinced me that he can win the race in Florida and set the pace for Republicans all over the country.”
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich: “… has pegged Rubio as a rising national political figure and calls 100 Ideas ‘a work of genius.’”
Former Gov. Jeb Bush: “He’s got all the tools. He’s charismatic and has the right principles.”
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey: “Marco Rubio is a champion of freedom and an inspiring leader for the next generation of the conservative movement. His track record and conservative convictions are a breath of fresh air in a party looking for new leaders to advance the principles of limited government, lower taxes and economic liberty.”
Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist: Rubio is “the most pro-taxpayer legislative leader in the country.”
Syndicated Columnist George Will: “His preventive medicine includes limited government, tax reform, spending restraint and removal of all impediments to the entrepreneurship that makes America a place ‘where poor people can put billionaires out of business.’”

Historic! 700,000 'pink slips' to Congress – in 3 days!
Historic! 700,000 'pink slips' to Congress – in 3 days!
Goal of 5 million likely be exceeded, say organizers of grass-roots campaign
WASHINGTON
An innovative new campaign to alert Congress of widespread grass-roots opposition to massive new spending plans as well as other objectionable and intrusive legislation is already responsible – in the first 72 hours – for the distribution of 700,000 "pink slip" notices to members of the House and Senate.
WND announced the "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign Friday and it has already reached one-seventh of its stated goal of 5 million notices, individually addressed, personalized with senders name and address and delivered to all members of Congress by Fed Ex. Already, 700,000 of the "pink slips" are on their way to Washington.
"This looks like a historic effort – comparable to the massive march in Washington, the tea party rallies and the town hall actions," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. "I'm quite sure nothing like this has ever before been undertaken."
The idea was conceived by Janet Porter of Faith2Action and a WND weekly columnist.
"We set a goal of 5 million pink slips to members of Congress," she said. "We might even surpass that goal."
Porter said the highest priority of members of Congress is re-election. The campaign is designed to put them on notice their hopes of staying in Washington are fading fast.
"There is a revolution brewing across this country," she said. "People are angry about losing their country and they are ready for action. This campaign is just the latest evidence."
The "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign ensures that a brief but poignant message will be delivered by Fed Ex to all 535 members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – all for a remarkably low price based on economies of scale.
"We encourage citizens to take individual actions," said Farah. "But when we act as a group, it's more cost-effective and the results more dramatic. Just try Fed Exing members of Congress yourself and see what it costs. We have learned from past experience that Fed Ex actually ensures delivery to members. What they do with them at that point is their choice."
The program is based on several other successful programs of the past, including one last summer that delivered 705,000 letters to senators protesting a "hate crimes" bill dubbed by critics as "the Pedophile Protection Act."
"I believe this has the potential to be the most successful grass-roots effort in history," said Porter. "After all the town halls and tea parties and the massive demonstration in Washington, Congress still hasn't gotten the message. Now it's time to show them just how serious we are with a message aimed at what they most care about – getting re-elected."
The "pink slip" officials are getting is a warning that they work for the taxpayers. It lists four key issues that are deemed unacceptable to participants.
* government health care
* cap and trade
* "hate crimes"
* any more spending
"If you vote for any of these, your real pick slip will be issued in the next election," it warns.
The program permits participants to Fed Ex 535 individually addressed messages to members of Congress, each one with the name and address of the sender for a total price of $29.95.
"This is a program that only works with massive numbers of participants that bring paper and printing and shipping costs way down," explains Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, which has conducted similar programs in the past – this one being the largest and most ambitious.

I would love to see a photo of all of them walking around the Capitol with a pink slip in their hand. heh heh Well maybe we can let a few of the hook but not many.
I would send one to Obama heh heh NOW that would be the icing on the cake.

Marco Rubio vs. Charlie Crist. The Rocky Balboa fight of politics
.
.
Marco Rubio vs. Charlie Crist. The Rocky Balboa fight of politics.
The Rocky Balboa fight of politics is occurring right before our eyes here in the Sunshine State.
Charlie Crist, the ever-popular governor of Florida with approval ratings in the 60's is getting more than he ever bargained for in his race for the United States Senate from Marco Rubio, the former speaker of the house in the Florida state legislature.
The pundits predicted an early landslide. The Republican establishment in Florida offered Rubio an easier office to win.
Maybe Attorney General?
Rubio declined.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) even threw their hat behind Crist the week he announced.
So what.
So how is Rubio still around?
It's definitely not the money as Crist has all but dominated that game by taking part in establishment fundraisers in Atlanta and Washington, DC. Meanwhile, Rubio has been touring the state.
Of Florida that is. Not Georgia, and not DC.
Again, how is Rubio still around? Could it be the conservative message and not the message that Crist recently offered by being one of a very few Republicans to endorse President Obama's stimulus package, a stimulus package of which only 36% of Americans believe is actually working? Or the fact that Crist said that Florida's above average unemployment was "not that big of a deal"?
Not to mention the fact that voters may be considering Crist a lightweight as Rubio has challenged Crist to ten debates. Ten debates that Crist has declined because he is supposedly too "focused on governing" and is saving sea turtles instead.
The Facts
Crist has recently outraised Rubio approximately 12-1. Yet, for those voters that know both Crist and Rubio, the polls are evenly split between the two.
Rubio has recently adorned the cover of National Review and has all but been endorsed by such conservatives such as George Will, Mike Huckabee, Jim Demint, former speaker of the House Dick Armey, and Jeb Bush.
Crist's endorsements? John Cornyn and the Republican DC establishment who along with the rest of Congress has a 16% approval rating. Again, so what.
Rubio has also won practically every Republican straw poll in Florida, including Hernando county, Crist's own back yard.
Crist? The guy's too worried about saving sea turtles to worry about straw polls.
So why is Rubio's message resonating?
It's simple.
True conservatism, principles, honesty, and authenticity.
Marco Rubio on Issues
SPENDING: “I am gravely concerned by a federal government that continues spending money it doesn’t have. In early 2009, I joined Florida’s entire Republican congressional delegation in opposing the $787 billion stimulus bill. In the U.S. Senate, I will support measures like a balanced budget amendment and the line-item veto that will help control the excessive and wasteful spending in Washington that threatens to leave future generations with crushing debt and a country worse off than that of their parents and grandparents.”
TAXES: “I have never voted for a tax increase. While I generally support tax cuts, I believe meaningful tax reform that simplifies our tax code, makes it easier to understand and is more fair to the taxpayer should be our ultimate goal. In the mean time, I will support efforts to reduce the tax burden on American workers, entrepreneurs and businesses. This includes: eliminating the Death Tax; eliminating taxes on capital gains, dividends and interest, thereby encouraging greater savings and investment; and making America the most attractive place to do business by lowering corporate tax rates.”
JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS: “I support judges who will respect the rule of law, strictly interpret our Constitution and not legislate from the bench. I opposed Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a whole, Judge Sotomayor’s record reflects a view that judges can and should inject personal experiences and biases into what should be the objective interpretation and application of the law. While her comments about the “better conclusions” a “wise Latina woman” would bring to the bench are universally known, I have more specific concerns about her case history and testimony regarding the Second Amendment at the state level, eminent domain takings and the so-called constitutional right to privacy that resulted in the Roe v. Wade decision. Together, these and other cases point to a nominee who would bring an activist approach to the highest court in the land.”
SECOND AMENDMENT: “Like the rest of our Constitution, I believe the 2nd Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy. I believe the right to bear arms is a constitutionally protected right. The right of citizens to defend themselves by bearing arms is a fundamental human right that should be protected.”
IMMIGRATION: “Legal immigration has been a great source of strength and prosperity for America, but I believe illegal immigration threatens the foundation of this system. If I had been in the Senate at the time, I would have opposed the McCain-Kennedy bill. I believe we must fix our immigration system by first securing the border, fixing the visa and entry process and opposing amnesty in any reform.”
ENVIRONMENT: “As a U.S. senator, I would oppose a national energy tax on American consumers, farmers and business owners. At a time when our economy is struggling, a cap-and-trade scheme would further strain family budgets and destroy jobs. Creating jobs in the energy sectors and becoming more energy efficient requires entrepreneurial innovation, not big government mandates. Instead of higher energy bills and job losses, the American people deserve a comprehensive, job-creating energy policy that promotes energy efficiency, alternative energy production and the development of our own natural resources.”
ENERGY: “I support a comprehensive energy plan that encourages nuclear energy, exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and environmentally safe leasing of oil and natural gas fields in the outer continental shelf and on federally owned lands with oil shale in the West. As senator, I will stand for policies that make us more energy efficient, less reliant on foreign sources of oil, create jobs and ease the burden on family budgets.”
SANCTITY OF LIFE: “I am pro-life. As a state legislator, I supported various pieces of pro-life legislation that, among other things, would require doctors to perform ultrasounds before performing abortions and another bill that would ban the use of taxpayer dollars to fund stem cell research.”
CARD CHECK: “I oppose card check and any efforts like the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) to tip labor law in favor of unions through binding federal arbitration. I am concerned by labor unions’ unrelenting campaign for card check, which would eliminate workers’ right to a secret ballot in unionization elections. I believe workers’ rights should be protected and that a card check system would open the door to pressure and intimidation that would disrupt the workplace and threaten businesses’ livelihoods. I also oppose EFCA’s arbitration provision, which would give labor and management just months to reach a labor agreement before a contract is imposed by a federal arbitrator.”

Really a great write up and support from Jim DeMint for Rubio.

I sure hope Marco wins. I have really had it with the rino Crist.
The Soros wing of the GOP is in a total panic because they favor Charlie Crist, you know the Meghan McCain type low lifes that was the Republican party to be like the democrat party BS.
So far the good ones news is several of the County Republican Committee straw polls have gone overwhelmingly for Marco.

Wilson is admonished by House
The House has voted to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his "You lie" outburst to President Barack Obama during the president's health care speech to Congress last week.
The 240-179 vote on the resolution of disapproval reflected the sharp partisan divide over the issue. Democrats insisted that the South Carolina Republican take responsibility for what they said was a serious breach of decorum. Republicans characterized the vote as a political stunt.
“It is clear to the American people that there are far more important issues than what we are dealing with now. . . . [Obama] graciously accepted my apology, and this issue is over,” Wilson said in brief remarks.

Throughout his life, Joe Wilson has also had a tremendous passion to serve his country as a member of the United States Armed Forces. After serving in the United States Army Reserves from 1972-1975, he also served in the South Carolina Army National Guard. In the summer of 2003, Joe retired as a Colonel, having served as a Staff Judge Advocate assigned to the 218th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. At the time, he was the only active Guard member serving in Congress.
Joe is married to Roxanne Dusenbury McCrory, who continues to offer him strength and support in his every endeavor. They are the parents of four sons, all of whom serve in the U.S. military, and the proud grandparents of two boys and one girl. Alan, his oldest son, is a Major in the Army National Guard who proudly served for a year in Iraq; Addison is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a physician who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq; Julian is a Captain in the South Carolina Army National Guard who served on a peacekeeping tour in Egypt; and Hunter is enrolled in Army ROTC at Clemson University and is a Cadet in the South Carolina Army National Guard. Their four sons are all Eagle Scouts.

Democrats to Vote on Rep.Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) Sanction Today
House Democratic leaders will move ahead with a "resolution of disapproval" against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) on Tuesday afternoon, following through on their threat to sanction the conservative lawmaker for heckling President Obama during his speech to Congress last week.
Democratic leaders will formally introduce the resolution Tuesday afternoon, according to House insiders, and the vast majority of Democrats - as well as some Republicans - are expected to vote for it.
No decision had been made at press time as to which Democrat would be offering the resolution.
A number of Democrats, led by Majority Whip James Clyburn (S.C.) and other black lawmakers, were outraged when Wilson yelled out “You lie!” during Obama’s address, and they have pressed Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top Democrats to sanction Wilson.
'You Lie!' Shout Brings Vote on Sanction
Racial Issue Simmers as Black Democrats Lead Push Against Wilson
House Democrats plan to formally reprimand Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) on Tuesday for his outburst last week in which he accused President Obama of lying about proposed health-care legislation.
The vote on punishment will resolve the issue in the House, but behind the incident some see a broader question: Is racism a factor in the way the president is being judged?
With two simple words -- "You lie!" -- shouted during Obama's speech to Congress, Wilson helped escalate an issue that has been on a slow burn for weeks, especially among African Americans. Many watched the rancor at last month's town hall meetings with suspicion that the intense anger among some participants -- including signs calling for Obama's death and a movement questioning his citizenship -- was fueled by the fact that a black man sits in the Oval Office.
Led by their most senior black lawmakers, House Democrats decided Monday evening to hold the vote. The decision risks escalating the partisan warfare that has erupted since Wilson's outburst.
~ snipet ~
Clyburn has said behind closed doors that many black voters saw Wilson's actions as part of the heated rhetoric from conservative activists whose protests, including one on the Capitol grounds Saturday, have included depictions of Obama as Adolf Hitler and the comic-book villain the Joker, according to those attending the meetings. It was one thing to have such remarks at town hall meetings during the summer recess but completely different during a presidential address to a joint session of Congress, Clyburn and other black Democrats argued, and Democrats needed to stand up for the first black president.
Wild Thing's comment......
Sheesh! Here goes the race card once again. When this to brought to a vote the Republican members need to walk out in masses.
Where was the black caucus when Bush was being called a liar and worse, villified in cartoons, on major networks---Oh, yeah! They were leading the charge. Not racism, though. It is impossible for a black who hates whites to be racist.

Americans That Love Our Country Gather in Washington D.C. Sept.12th Part 3
I've always been proud of my country. But what I saw yesterday on September 12, 2009 in Washington DC not only reinforced that pride, it made me EVEN MORE PROUD of hundreds of thousands of my fellow countrymen and women who came to Washington DC to say the following to Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democrat Socialist majority, and to the Rino's...........all the things you see in this post and the two posts from yesterday. ~ Wild Thing
.
People were chanting “enough, enough” and “We the People.” Others yelled “You lie, you lie!” and “Pelosi has to go,” referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
Demonstrators waved U.S. flags and held signs reading “Go Green Recycle Congress” and “I’m Not Your ATM.” Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of “judgment day” – Election Day 2010…
I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important historical event that it is. This is the first great conservative anti-statist manifestation in American history. The conservative movement, which developed in the post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured into the most significant political movement of the 21st century. I believe that this day could be referred to in the not too distant future as the day that changed America. This was the day the great silent conservative majority finally found its voice.
Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this being the first time in their lives they’d been involved in a protest movement. Their fears evaporated early in the day and I saw people reveling in the camaraderie , the joy and sheer civility that was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of “Freedom, freedom, freedom”, “No more czars! No more czars!” carried through the air without the slightest hint of rancor or unpleasantness.
The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates attended. At the time this photo was taken, around 1:00 p.m., Pennsylvania Avenue was still jammed completely, and the mall was packed from the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument.
MIKE PENCE
Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd: “After years of fighting runaway government on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening.”
In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent – Can You Hear Us Now sign, you can see Pennsylvania Ave., which at this time is totally blocked with protesters who cannot move forward to the Capitol area.
.
Love the teleprompters! LOL People brought teleprompters as signs. heh heh
.
Some people in the crowd were calling this “a conservative Woodstock” .
Although the legend of Woodstock is that there was a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie, the truth is that most people were there for the drugs, sex and rock and roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst these people based on shared values and intellectual understanding of what America is and how its future is imperiled by big radical government.
No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no one projectile vomiting on the steps of the Capitol. There were no warnings to avoid the bad acid which would send you on a trip to the hospital. Not just a different era, but a different level of civilized behavior and thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didn’t leave tons of garbage behind when they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all.
.
.
There were many that could not make it for all different reasons. But that did not lesson our support we were their like I said before in spirit. Taking the amount of people that were in D.C. and adding in all the smaller groups around our country that joined in on the same day.......welll there is no way to know how many there were in numbers but America, the one you and I have loved all our lives, THAT voice was heard yesterday on September 12th, loud and clear.
Also there were events planned in various cities that others went to closer to home, here is just one of them.
912 Project Fort Worth for a March and Rally in Downtown Fort Worth on September 12, 2009

Don’t Flush U.S Draws Attention To "Government Waste Has Got To Go!"
The purpose of Don’t Flush U.S. is to draw attention to those individuals, policies and taxes that we feel are particularly stinky. For example, politicians who promote the Carbon Tax (e.g. Cap and Trade) know full well that it is extortion of the American public and a power grab.
People who think that government is the answer, and that “social contract” means a bigger nanny government which will ultimately constrict liberty, free enterprise and the United States as we know it, are also eligible for a throne on the Don’t Flush U.S. site. We don’t discriminate between political parties, gender, ethnicity or race. We think that’s fair.

Rep. Mike Pence at the D.C. Tea Party ....His Full Speech
Rep. Mike Pence at the D.C. Tea Party ...."You look like the cavalry to me"
Because the video cuts off before he finishes his speech I wanted you to be able to see what he said ......the full speech. It was excellent.~ Wild Thing
I am Mike Pence. I am from Indiana, and it is an honor to welcome the largest gathering of conservatives in American history to your nation's capitol.
There are some politicians who think of you people as astroturf. Un-American. I've got to be honest with you, after nine years of fighting runaway spending here on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me.
We stand together at a historic moment in the life of the conservative movement and in the life of this great country. The coming weeks and months may well set the course for this nation for a generation. How we as conservatives respond to these challenges, could determine whether America retains her place in the world as a beacon of freedom or whether we slip into the abyss that has swallowed much of Europe in an avalanche of socialism.
While some are prepared to write the obituary on capitalism and the conservative movement, I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening. And it will begin here and begin now and begin with you.
This Administration and this Congress are getting a badly needed history lesson, starting with just what our founders meant by 'consent of the governed.' If silence is consent, it is now revoked.
We the people, do not consent to runaway federal spending. We the people, do not consent to the notion that we can borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing America. And we the people, do not consent to government-run insurance that will cause millions of Americans to lose the insurance they have, and that will lead us to a government takeover of health care in this nation.
This week, the president came to this hill and he gave one more speech about the same bad plan. Mr. President, America doesn't want another speech, we want another health care plan that is built on freedom.
And we the people, do not consent to Members of Congress passing thousand-page bills without anybody ever reading them. Members of Congress should be required to read ever major bill that Congress adopts. I've got to be honest with you, I think Members of Congress should read major bills, but I'd be just as happy if some of them read this just a little more often - the Constitution of the United States.
You know, there is a lot of good stuff in there and it reminds us that we are a nation led by the people, and not the elites and the bureaucrats and the politicians. It reminds us that the powers not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the states or to the people.
And nowhere in our Constitution can you find the word 'czar.' It is time Washington, D.C. became a No Czar Zone.
The American people are not happy. But it is not just about dollars and cents. It is about who we are as a nation.
As Ronald Reagan said in 1964, it's about whether 'we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.' My money is on the American people. My money is on freedom. My money is on the future.
This great national Capitol is filled with memorials to freedom's heroes. Americans whose faces are carved in bronze, whose names adorn monuments, and just across that river, lie the remains of Americans who paid freedom's price so we could gather here today. In their time, they did freedom's work as citizens and patriots. Now it's our turn.
Let us do as those great Americans we remember in this city have done before: let us stand and fight for freedom. And if we hold the banner of freedom high, I believe with all my heart that the good and great people of this country will rally to our cause, we will take this Congress back in 2010 and we will take this Country back in 2012, so help us God.
Wild Thing's comment.....
God bless him he has also been taking a stand on a lot of the things we are ticked off about. He seems to stay consistant and that is something we need to know too.
Als Jim DeMint as well stands out big time. And he gave a speech as well.

Up to two million march to US Capitol ~ We The People Speaking Out
Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration
Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.
The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.
People were chanting "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
Demonstrators waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "I'm Not Your ATM." Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day" - Election Day 2010.
Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Michigan. He said health care needs to be reformed - but not according to President Barack Obama's plan.
"My grandkids are going to be paying for this. It's going to cost too much money that we don't have," he said while marching, bracing himself with a wooden cane as he walked.
FreedomWorks Foundation, a conservative organization led by former House of Representatives Majority Leader Dick Armey, organized several groups from across the country for what they billed as a "March on Washington."
Organizers say they built on momentum from the April "tea party" demonstrations held nationwide to protest tax policies, along with growing resentment over the economic stimulus packages and bank bailouts.
Terri Hall, 45, of Florida, said she felt compelled to become political for the first time this year because she was upset by government spending.
"Our government has lost sight of the powers they were granted," she said. She added that the deficit spending was out of control, and said she thought it was putting the country at risk.
Anna Hayes, 58, a nurse from Fairfax County, stood on the Mall in 1981 for Reagan's inauguration. "The same people were celebrating freedom," she said. "The president was fighting for the people then. I remember those years very well and fondly."
Saying she was worried about "Obamacare," Hayes explained: "This is the first rally I've been to that demonstrates against something, the first in my life. I just couldn't stay home anymore."
Like countless others at the rally, Joan Wright, 78, of Ocean Pines, Md., sounded angry. "I'm not taking this crap anymore," said Wright, who came by bus to Washington with 150 like-minded residents of Maryland's Eastern Shore. "I don't like the health-care [plan]. I don't like the czars. And I don't like the elitists telling us what we should do or eat."
Republican lawmakers also supported the rally.
"Republicans, Democrats and independents are stepping up and demanding we put our fiscal house in order," Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said.
"I think the overriding message after years of borrowing, spending and bailouts is enough is enough."
Other sponsors of the rally include the Heartland Institute, Americans for Tax Reform and the Ayn Rand Center for Individuals Rights.
Recent polls illustrate how difficult recent weeks have been for a president who, besides tackling health care, has been battling to end a devastatingly deep recession.
Fifty percent approve and 49 percent disapprove of the overall job he is doing as president, compared to July, when those approving his performance clearly outnumbered those who were unhappy with it, 55 percent to 42 percent.
Just 42 percent approve of the president's work on the high-profile health issue.
The poll was taken over five days just before Obama's speech to Congress. That speech reflected Obama's determination to push ahead despite growing obstacles.
"I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it," Obama said on Wednesday night. "I won't stand by while the special interests use the same old tactics to keep things exactly the way they are.
"If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we'll call you out. And I will not accept the status quo as a solution."

2 Million Plus at September 12th March on Washington D.C. Can You Hear Us NOW????
ABC News, however, reported " this afternoon that the crowd was estimated at 2 million.”
So far, estimates have ranged from "tens of thousands" to "1.5 - 2 million."

Earlier in the day, ABC was reporting 1.2 million per DC police reports.
Some of the media reports making it less. not sure what is going on why they want to make it less then it was. Weird.
The crowd size estimate is now 2 million. President Obama ducked out and went to Minnesota for the day.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) Says Liar and Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) Walked Out with Disgust at Obama
Getting to know Joe a little .......from July 20th, 2009......Rep. Wilson talks about the health care debate going on in Congress and calls on citizens to get involved and have their voices heard.
Joe Wilson, Our Hero
Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina is in big trouble this morning. The Rahmster is out for him. That makes Joe Wilson Illinois Review's hero of the day.
Last night, Wilson had the courage to call Barack Obama what he is: a liar. Within moments of Obama referring to "prominent politician" Sarah Palin as lying about the "end-of-life-counseling" included in the House's health care bill, Congressman Wilson couldn't let Obama get away with purposely misleading the American people about the Democrats' plan. Wilson spontaneously shouted out "You lie!" during Obama's nationally-televised string of outright deceptions:
Immediately after the speech, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel demanded to know who shouted down the President. When Wilson was ratted out, Emanuel said, "No president has ever been treated like that, ever."
Please, Rahm. Your very own Green Job czar Van Jones signed onto the crazy left wing theory that President Bush was a conspirator behind the 9-11 attacks. Being publicly called a liar when one is bold-faced lying is nothing compared to that.
Commentator Bob Ellis wrote this last night:
President Obama Brazenly Lies to Congress, American People
It’s sad to see this lack of decorum in the U.S. House.
But it’s sadder still to see the President of the United States so determined to trash the United States Constitution by pushing a program that is unconstitutional, illegal, fails everywhere it’s tried, and that we couldn’t even afford even if none of these other issues were a factor.
It was disrespectful…but it was even more disrespectful for an American president defend such an un-American proposal and lie about it to congress and the people.
It’s sad to see that rude behavior in the U.S. House…but it’s sadder still to witness the President of the United States trash his opponents for telling the truth about his scheme, and lie to the U.S. Congress and the American people.
We couldn't agree more.
Wilson, the gracious man he is, issued an apology after Senator John McCain told Larry King after the speech Wilson should apologize. Wilson graciously said:
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
Wilson's Democratic 2010 challenger reportedly raised $50,000 within hours online after the outburst.
For having the emotions and passion to spontaneously call the President on his blatant lies about the health care bill while commandeering America's air waves, we salute Congressman Wilson.
.
Shimkus walked on Obama: 'Frustrated'
Rep. Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who yelled at President Barack Obama during his address to Congress this week, wasn't the only one unhappy with what he heard.
Rep. John Shimkus, a Republican from Illinois, walked out.
"Congressman Shimkus was frustrated that the president was not offering any new ground and left with just minutes remaining in the speech,'' spokesman Steven Tomaszewski said today in response to our question about the late-speech walk-out.
"Regardless of the words the president used, the tone did not bring Republicans on board,'' the congressman's spokesman said. "As George Stephanopoulos said, 'He was right on the edge of anger,' and as Rachel Maddow said, 'I think liberals will be happy.'"
The congressman, a West Point graduate first elected from Collinsville in 1996, is a former high school teacher.
Wild Thing's comment........
I would have loved for all of them to get up and shout...LIAR tell the people the truth!
Joe said what we all, who knew the truth, wanted to say.“YOU LIE!” H And he did not repudiate his words with his apology. I think he apologized because that was not the format to call out the President during his address on his lies.
One good thing too, he didn't apologize AT ALL for what he said, he repeated it. heh heh

Cheney: Obama Team Should Be Debriefing CIA Interrogators, Not Investigating Them
Cheney: Obama Team Should Be Debriefing CIA Interrogators, Not Investigating Them
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday the Obama administration should be debriefing CIA interrogators about keeping the country safe rather than trying to punish them for doing their jobs.
Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday said the Obama administration should be debriefing CIA interrogators about keeping the country safe rather than trying to punish them for doing their jobs.
In an exclusive interview taped to air this weekend on "FOX News Sunday," Cheney called the Justice Department probe of interrogators an "outrageous political act" that will do long-term damage to the United States' capacity to protect the country.
"We had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al Qaeda. The approach of the Obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say, 'How did you do it? What were the keys to keeping this country safe over that period of time?'" Cheney said.
"Instead, they're out there now threatening to disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinions -- threatening contrary to what the president originally said. They're going to go out and investigate the CIA personnel who carried out those investigations," Cheney added.
Last week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said he was appointing a special prosecutor to look at data obtained about enhanced interrogation techniques to determine whether criminal acts were committed. The data are the same previously reviewed by career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia, where the CIA is headquartered. The data led to one arrest and conviction.
The former vice president for months has demanded the CIA release materials to show the effectiveness of harsh tactics in enabling interrogators to get information used to thwart planned attacks.
This week, the CIA's inspector general released a declassified report on the use of enhanced interrogation tactics. The report said that CIA agents got valuable information but critics insist the results did not justify the methods.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I agree with Cheney, but Obama would never do something postivie for our country. Obama is the enemy and he goes out of his way to prove it every day.
The CIA has the goods on him and he’s out to shut them down. I don't know, but he better watch who’s toes he’s stepping on there. heh heh

California Townhall Meeting With Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Comments on Obama’s Czars
On August 19th, Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) held a town hall meeting in Bakersfield. He was asked why the Congress was allowing President Obama to create all the “Czars”. Just before he answered, there were shouts from the audience of “He’s a communist!” McCarthy smiled.
He answered the question by saying he did not believe Obama had the right to appoint these “Czars” and give them powers that encroach on the “Checks and Balances” the Constitution requires.
Wild Thing's comment........
Wow that was great. I just love it when we see this honesty from one of our own instead of kissing up to Obama like McCain is infamous for doing.
Hey McCain this is what REAL men and women do, they tell it like it is. And they tell the truth and they put AMERICAN FIRST unlike McCain who puts McCain first.

A Real Man VP Dick Cheney Makes Statement on CIA Documents/Investigation
Vice President Dick Cheney gave The Weekly Standard a statement Monday night about the CIA documents and the coming Justice Department investigation
"The documents released Monday clearly demonstrate that the individuals subjected to Enhanced Interrogation Techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al Qaeda. This intelligence saved lives and prevented terrorist attacks. These detainees also, according to the documents, played a role in nearly every capture of al Qaeda members and associates since 2002. The activities of the CIA in carrying out the policies of the Bush Administration were directly responsible for defeating all efforts by al Qaeda to launch further mass casualty attacks against the United States. The people involved deserve our gratitude. They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions. President Obama’s decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administration’s ability to be responsible for our nation’s security."
Should Justice Department Pursue CIA Abuse Cases?
Should the Justice Department reopen -- and possibly prosecute -- cases of alleged mistreatment of terror suspects by CIA interrogators?
According to a Fox poll 94% of the people are against the Justice Department reopening and possibly prosecuting cases of alleged mistreatment of terror suspects by CIA interrogators
FOX POLL is HERE
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
GO Cheney! God bless VP Dick Cheney! We are an open target right now! I miss Cheney!
Cheney is not accepting the sham that Obama is leaving the decision to Holder.
Cheney is saying the decision is Obama's responsibility as is right since he is in charge of our Nat'l Security. Good one, VP Cheney!!!

Fed-up Marine Has Guns Blazing to Oust Democrats ~ Go Jesse Kelly!
.
Jesse Kelly stands for limited government, fiscal sanity, and free market solutions to bring about economic recovery and restore liberty. It take leadership and integrity to represent our nation and I stand by our founding principles and the core values of America's greatness. Join us and together we will retake the Congress in 2010.
Fed-up Marine has guns blazing to oust Democrats
'They're destroying this nation, and while I'm still breathing, I will not let it happen'
By Joe Kovacs
"Send a warrior to Congress."
"Does this look like a Rino?"
In the battleground of American political power, candidates for office tend to use every weapon at their disposal to be heard above the din.
Now, a U.S. Marine who helped lead the initial charge into Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein is taking that approach literally by brandishing his M-16 assault rifle in some eye-catching campaign fundraising ads.
Jesse Kelly for Congress website
.
"I'm taking full credit for that," says 28-year old Jesse Kelly of Tucson, Ariz., a Republican seeking to boot Democrat Gabrielle Giffords from the U.S. House of Representatives. "If you're not going to get anyone's attention, you might as well not waste your time or money."
Kelly, who is married and has a 9-month-old son, is splashing his spots across the Internet on high-profile sites such as the Drudge Report, and offering no apologies about the weapon imagery.
"I think people understand fully well that I'm serving my country," he said. "I'm in Iraq at war for my nation. I'm not posing in my bedroom with a gun."
To date, the former infantryman says he's collected about $100,000, expecting to need up to $1.5 million to win the race.
Regarding his "tough guy" theme, Kelly said, "People are sick of politicians from all parties. They're lying to them. People want someone to fight for them in Washington and that's the message I want to convey."
After being honorably discharged in 2004 and taken off inactive reserve last year, Kelly now works in the private sector as a project manager for a construction company that handles commercial water and sewer projects.
.
While he says he always loved politics, he never had a desire to be a politician.
But that all changed with the election of Barack Obama – whom Kelly calls a "radical president" – and the signing of the stimulus bill "monstrosity."
"They're spending us off the cliff!" he exclaimed. "They're destroying this nation, and while I'm still breathing, I will not let it happen. It's time to be 'in your face.'"
Indeed, Kelly's online ad thrashes the current administration, stating:
I'm tired of President Obama and the liberals who control Congress insulting us, calling us racist, and calling us a mob. I'm tired of their double-talk. I'm tired of their bait-and-switch shell games. I'm tired of being avoided by my public servants. They have forgotten that they work for us. ...
Ronald Reagan once famously said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." We are that generation! Either we stand now and fight for our country, or the great United States of America may be but a fading memory.
He told WND his main goals are to "bring fiscal sanity back to Washington, to stop the out-of-control spending, and get back to the founding principles of free market capitalism."
.
Here is a video from Jesse's recent Town Hall, August 13, 2009, Green Valley. He stepped in after Congresswoman Giffords (AZ-8) cancelled her scheduled appearance. Gabrielle Giffords (D)- AZ was scheduled to hold an event at the American Legion Post #66 in Green Valley/Sahuarita, Arizona. She canceled, so Jesse Kelly held a town hall in her place. There were folks who support Obamacare and folks who oppose it. Kelly took every question straight on for two hours. Here's a five minute overview of the morning. More clips to come.
Kelly actually took over a town-hall meeting this month when its original congressional host, Rep. Giffords, canceled her appearance.
He stressed there's "no question" the national outpouring of rage against members of Congress is "100 percent genuine."
"These are citizens concerned about a government takeover of one-sixth of the economy," Kelly said, explaining Americans are not ready to give life-and-death decisions to Obama.
"These people are scared of a government that has grown radically out of control."

The sound in the video is not that great, but you can still hear what he says and it is awesome.

It is exciting to see what is happening. From the Tea Parties, to the Townhalls, and the people speaking out and new people, CONSERVATIVES, wanting to run for office. Thank you God!
And to Jesse Kelly if you see this post, thank you for serving our country, God bless you and your family. And thank you for running for Congress. I am honored to post about you. I don't live in AZ, but our leaders in the long run represent all of our country, all of America when it comes time to vote for things. We need Conservatives and people that love our country.

Democrat Congressman With Too Much Power Threatens To Remove Protester
Congressman Sanford Bishop reads for the first 40 minutes of the Town Hall and the Protesters have had enough of the filibustering.
The first words from the video are the Congressman saying "the worst thing we can do (concerning Health Care) is nothing," he then continues reading and the attendees grow tired and say this is "Town Hall Meeting, not a Town Hall Reading," the protesters yell out, "quit waisting our time," then the he says he will have the Sheriff remove a protester.
.
In this video which was made by a news outlet ( which is obvious by the slant in from the stupid woman reporter) .....this one shows one of the protesters blasts the Congressman says
"There's going to be an uprising in this country that's gonna make the Boston Tea Party look like a picnic"
.
How different from the attitude and philosophy of another Georgia congressman.
7 minutes of one of his last public speeches by Dr. and Congressman Lawrence Patton McDonald. With small changes in some place names, his words -- and his warning -- from 1983 could have importance for Americans in the 21st century -- ESPECIALLY NOW!

Wild Thing's comment........
“This is a complex issue” - Translation: “You voters are too stupid to understand”.
We're not just "the voters". We're not "the electorate".
We're the owners and Chief Executive Officers of this country!!
It is alarming that politicians are increasingly belligerent and resentful toward the constituents that they serve. With every right we give away to a government to get something, we give that right away forever. When we begin to let a ruling class take hold in American we run the risk of elitists telling those they govern what is in their best interest as oppose to what those that voted them in state we need from them.
All governments are in the business of keeping themselves in business and the only way to keep them in check is for the people to rule the government and for that central government to be small enough that they are dependent on us and we not that we are dependent on them. As Jefferson once stated and has been repeated numerous times, “A Government Big Enough to Give You Everything You Want, is Strong Enough to Take Everything You Have.”

"We have an occupant in the White House that declares, with reckless abandon, without substance, America arrogant to the world.....yet Obama, the ignorant usurper is himself the reflection of arrogance beyond the pale."
He has no grasp on the serious nature of leading America. His arrogance and gall goes to the point of trampling, dishonoring, the United States Constitution, sacrifices untold, and hundreds of thousands of lives given as a beacon of hope and freedom around the world.
Washington, DC
Over the last six months the national debt skyrocketed by nearly $3 trillion. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, our national debt will more than double by 2019. Americans will have to pay for this stratospheric spending spree first by begging foreign nations to buy our bonds, and later through higher taxes and inflation.
Grassroots anger at the inability of Washington to live within a budget has been building for some time, and began to boil over in late 2007 as the Bush Administration and Treasury Secretary Paulson abandoned their claimed free market principles to bail out auto makers and Wall Street banks through TARP.
When newly-elected President Obama and his allies in Congress passed the $780 billion debt stimulus plan in February 2009, activists took to the streets.
On tax day, the tea party movement began in earnest. Until now the movement has remained at the local levels. No longer will that be the case. The movement is coming to Washington on September 12, 2009 for a march and rally at the US Capitol.
From autos to banking, the government is crowding out the private sector of our economy. Where Bush bailed out the private sector, Obama is making hostile government takeovers. Ignoring our multi trillion dollar deficit, Washington is considering a massive new energy tax and a takeover of health care.
On Saturday, September 12th FreedomWorks will be joined by over ten thousands of liberty-loving activists to take a stand against politicians who are bankrupting our future. Thousands of local-grass roots organizations which took root from the April 15th tax day tea parties and also joining in will be National co-sponsors include Tea Party Patriots, ResistNet, National Taxpayers Union, Americans For Tax Reform, Young Americans for Liberty, Ayn Rand Center, Campaign for Liberty, Young America’s Foundation, Smart Girl Politics, and The Club for Growth.
The event will kick-off on September 10th and 11th with various events throughout Washington including grassroots leadership training and Capitol Hill visits. The three-day event culminates on September 12th as taxpayers march on the Capitol building.

From Tea Parties to The 912 Project, Americans Are Challenging The Government
August 21, 2009
Harlingen, Texas, August 17, 2009: Be it the Tea Party gatherings, or a 912 Movement that will march on Washington, Americans are at the end of their patience in dealing with a government that is running amuck.
In Sacramento, California citizens have formed a national “Tea Party Express” that will be conducting a series of 35 tea party rallies across the United States to oppose the Obama Administration’s healthcare proposal. Their caravan will start in California on August 28 and travel eastward arriving at their destination just before a massive 9/12/09 Taxpayer March in Washington D.C. Television ads will be run in advance of the 35 rallies as the Tea Party Express travels across the country.
Charter buses have been arranged for Tea party members heading for Washington from Richmond, Virginia. By the first day of August four bus loads of protesters had been confirmed and many more people were expected to sign up for the trip to the Capitol.
Rio Grande Valley Tea Partiers will fly to Washington. Protest marchers from Arizonian, Wyoming, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota and Hawaii have also reported they are planning to be in Washington for the big event.
In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas three tea party organizations have been formed that are drawing large crowds in the cities of McAllen, Harlingen and Brownsville. This is taking place in what is considered the only area in Texas dominated by the Democrat Party.
Glenn Beck’s 912 Project is also heavily involved in the Taxpayer March.
The television commentator’s movement calls upon Americans to restore the nation’s true values, including the goodness of the country, belief in God, honesty, family, justice, hard work, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Beck and Fox News Channel plan to cover the 9-12-09 marches on Washington.
Tea Party Patriots are planning to gather at the Hyatt Hotel on Capitol Hill. The overflow crowds will be quartered at nearby Liaison and Washington Court Hotels.
Of course, the Democrat leadership is still attempting to denigrate all of the anti-government actions taking place. With their attacks on groups and individuals, they are not diminishing the movement, but instead are adding fuel to the flames. It will be very interesting to observe the culmination of all these events when the march takes place in our nation’s Capitol on September 12, 2009.
The Tea Party Express is also involved......
In addition, the Tea Party Express is inviting members of the media to join the national Tea Party Tour - as embedded journalists - traveling with the tour for part or all of the route.
The Tea Party Express caravan will feature two 45-foot coaches leading a multi-vehicle caravan complete with several RV’s, minivans, SUVs, motorcycles and passenger vehicles. The caravan will travel from August 28 to September 12 on a mission to unify, educate, and most importantly encourage Americans to continue their opposition of deficit spending, government-run healthcare, and irresponsible bailouts. The tour will culminate with the massive “9/12 March on Washington” event organized by a group of influential grassroots organizations.
To get more information about joining the "Tea Party Express" or to schedule an interview with a representative from the tour please contact Levi Russell at (509) 979-6615 or via email at: Levi@FrontLineStrat.com

An American Anthem ~ Tea Party Commercial
This resulted from a Mom in Alabama asking her high school son to help with a commercial for the Tea Party she was involved in organizing.
Boy, does it slam the message home. Very impressive. Here is her note:
"I asked Justin if he could help me make a commercial for my group's Tea Party. He sat down at the laptop for about an hour and then brought this to me and asked "is this okay, Mom?" After I finished watching it, my stomach was in my throat.. Everyone that I have sent it to has really enjoyed it so I wanted my friends to see it. I am so proud! Enjoy!" (Judith White)
Wild Thing's comment.......
Awesome video. God bless this mom and her son Justin. This video cuts right to the quick.
WAKE UP AMERICA! NOW. ... THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.
