Florida restaurant declares itself ‘safe haven’ for police



Florida restaurant declares itself ‘safe haven’ for police


NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — A Florida restaurant has declared itself a "safe haven" for law enforcement officials.

“To all police officers, Sheriff deputies, marshall, or any law enforcement officer, The Local Fresh Grill will always be a safe haven for you, a place where you can come and enjoy your lunch knowing that I have your back,” owners wrote on social media. “You will always be shown the respect you deserve. Not all of us are fooled by all this propaganda and media (exaggerations). We know that the majority of you are good people and put your (lives) on the line every day for us.”

Owners of The Local Fresh Grill already give authorities 10% off, WFLA reported.

The owner said he is having window decals made for other restaurants as well.

“Friends in uniform, if your back is ever against the wall near The Local Fresh Grill, I need you to know that you can duck in our restaurant for safety,” the owner said on social media. “We’ll lock the doors, help you defend yourselves, or anything you need; just take it for granted that we have your back. And this also applies to everyone out there. Black, white, or any other color, if you need us, we are there.”

Jeb Stood On His Tiptoes To Appear Taller In Photo At Debate


Jeb Bush found a surefire way to put himself a head above the other candidates during Wednesday night’s debate – standing on his tiptoes.

As the Republican hopefuls lined up for their group shot, the 6’3″ Bush was caught on video glancing at Trump and then sneakily pushing himself up to add a few inches.

The trick made Bush – already the tallest person in the group shot – stand out just a little bit more from the other candidates.

Freshman Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, had to wipe away tears while talking about the undercover Planned Parenthood videos on the Fox Business network Wednesday night.

“It’s our job to protect those who do not have a voice to protect themselves, and to see what is actually happening to babies while they’re still alive, I mean, it’s horrific,” said Love.

“This is not about a Right or Left issue – this is right or wrong, and whether we are going to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves, or if we’re going to just turn a blind eye and pretend that this is not happening,” she added, wiping away tears.

Sen. Sessions just released the following statement on why he voted NO on fast-track bill. God Bless Sessions



Sen. Jeff Sessions just released the following statement announcing a "no" vote on final Senate passage of the fast-track bill:

Senator Sessions Facebook page.......

“Under fast-track, Congress transfers its most basic legislative powers to the Executive for six years. Any yet-unseen global pacts, no matter how sweeping, are guaranteed a “fast-track” to congressional adoption. No amendments. No ability to strike any offending provision. And no chance to apply either the 60- or 67-vote thresholds used for important legislation and treaties.

I asked the President how his fast-tracked proposals would impact jobs, wages, and trade deficits. He would not answer. The bill’s promoters also refused to answer when asked whether their proposal would reduce net manufacturing jobs in the United States. That is because they know it will. Like the South Korean trade deal—which doubled our trade deficit after promises of a trade renaissance—this proposal will widen further our trade deficits and eliminate jobs.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership opens our markets to foreign imports, but allows foreign countries to continue closing their market to ours.

Our country has not been engaged in reciprocal free trade but, as the Chairman Emeritus of Nucor Steel explained, “the enablement of foreign mercantilism” and “unilateral trade disarmament.” We have allowed state-dominated and mercantilist trading partners to maintain their varied and elaborate non-tariff barriers, exporting their unemployment to our shores.

Stubbornly, our political elites have treated trade as a matter of religion. To them, there is no such thing as a bad deal. They know American workers lose jobs when we allow trading partners to cheat. But they insist it is all for the greater good. This is why the American worker keeps ending up on the losing end.

Fast-track will also lock into passage a new global governance authority known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission. Chartered with a “Living Agreement,” this new transnational commission will be able to amend the agreement after its adoption. Among other things, this could empower the President to expand the admission of foreign workers without congressional approval. We are creating another unelectable, unaccountable, unanswerable bureaucracy that can tie down and frustrate American sovereignty.

Congress is forgetting its duty: to improve jobs and wages for Americans.”




Wild Thing's comment............


God bless Senator Sessions!!!! I wish more of them would have done the NO vote like Sessions did but once again people were voted in and then they forget who put them there and what we want or do not want.

The rest of them full RINO and voted to gave Obama exactly what he wanted.

Jeb Bush Refuses to Say Any Criticism of Clinton Foreign Donation Scandal



Jeb Bush Refuses to Say Any Criticism of Clinton Foreign Donation Scandal


Despite the bipartisan criticism of the Clintons’ latest foreign donations-for-favors scandal that has brought serious consideration from media of all stripes, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush refused to jump into the fray to question the Clintons over the controversy.

Speaking at an event sponsored by the Manhattan GOP, Bush demurred from speaking too harshly about Clinton’s latest scandal.


The charges are being seriously investigated by several mainstream media outfits and are being given sober treatment by media outlets across the ideological spectrum.

About all Bush would say about the growing controversy is that Clinton is “going to have to be held accountable, like all of us, about dealings.” He added, “That’s part of the process, right?”

The one-time Florida Governor continued saying, “I don’t ‘go off’ on Hillary Clinton.”




Wild Thing's comment.........

Go away Jeb.


He used to be a Republican, I wonder why he does not run as a Democrat. Almost everything he says and wants are what a democrat would say.

And another thing he should know is that many democrats are really ticked off at Hillary and Bill for this latest scandal of theirs.

Jeb Bush CPAC 2015





Jeb Bush at CPAC 2015, where he chose the Q & A Format for his entire time period. He was interviewed by Sean Hannity. There was a walkout on the part of some after Bush took the stage. But Bush handled himself well as he answered the questions posed to him by Hannity.

Bush articulated that Conservatives must be “for” things and not just against things:
1. For sustained Economic Growth that help the Middle Classs
2. A strong National Defense

Hannity asked Bush about Immigration. Bush stood his ground that he supports a “Pathway to Citizenship” for illegals who are already in the country. But he also said the first order of business is to secure the borders to prevent the problem from continuing. He took the question head-on, and he got a lot of applause as well as boos from the crowd.

On “Common Core,” Bush said he does support high Education Standards, but he opposes it being Federal Government driven. It ought to be controlled by, and set by state and local Governments and School Boards..

"Mrs. Clinton, please name an accomplishment," Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and Senate candidate, said. "And in the meantime, please explain why we should accept that the millions and millions of dollars that have flowed into the Clinton Global Initiative from foreign governments does not represent a conflict of interest."

Check Out What Awesome Lt. Col. Allen West said about Jeb Bush



Lt. Col. Allen West, reacting to Jeb Bush’s announcement this last Tuesday that he’s seriously considering a 2016 presidential bid, used strong words to describe the politics of the former Republican Florida governor.

Appearing on FOX News with Sean Hannity, West, referring to Bush running against Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton, said that match is the last thing the country needs, labeling Jeb Bush a “big government progressive.”


“When you look at by the time we get to 2016, we’re going to have a country with $20 trillion in debt; we’re going to have a massive, bureaucratic, administrative, regulatory state, and the last thing we need to see is a big government, progressive Republican running against a bigger government progressive socialist Democrat.”


West asserted that the biggest problems for a Jeb Bush presidential candidacy are going to be his unacceptable positions on amnesty and Common Core.


Wild Thing's comment..........

I agree with Allen West.

Former President George H.W. Bush to Stay in Hospital a 3rd Night


Former President George H.W. Bush to Stay in Hospital a 3rd Night


Dallas Morning News


Despite having “another terrific day,” former President George H.W. Bush will spend a third night in a Texas hospital, his office announced on Christmas.

Bush, 90, is the nation’s oldest former president. His office said Tuesday night that he was taken to Houston Methodist Hospital “as a precaution” after experiencing shortness of breath.

The 41st president “is in great spirits” and wishes everyone a merry Christmas, his office said in a statement Thursday. He received visits from his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush, and from his son and daughter-in-law Neil and Maria Bush, it said.

This isn’t the first time Bush has been hospitalized over Christmas. In November 2012, he went to Houston Methodist with a persistent cough. He developed a fever and stayed nearly two months.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath said Thursday that the 90-year-old Bush remained at Houston Methodist Hospital. McGrath said Bush is "still doing well," but did not offer details.

Mary Landrieu Loses In Louisiana and Bill Cassidy's win stretches the GOP's gain in the Senate to nine seats

Rep. Bill Cassidy defeated three-term Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu in Louisiana’s Senate runoff election Saturday night, stretching the GOP’s 2014 gains to nine seats and giving the party 54 senators starting next year.

Landrieu had finished first in the all-party primary a month ago but with only 42 percent of the vote, while the second-placed Cassidy and fellow Republican Rob Maness combined for a majority of the votes cast in November. Maness endorsed Cassidy for the runoff.

Landrieu's campaign poured most of its resources into that initial primary, hoping to win an outright majority victory while Republicans' votes were still divided and thus avoid a runoff. But after a weak showing in November and certainty of a Republican take-over of the Senate, fellow Democrats largely left Landrieu to fend for herself in the runoff.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee canceled its reserved TV advertising time for the runoff, while many of the most monied Democratic groups, such as environmental PACs and the pro-choice group EMILY's List, steered clear of the race because of Landrieu's stances on energy policy and abortion.

Cassidy, a physician and former state legislator, has been promised a position on the Senate's powerful energy committee that Landrieu now chairs. Landrieu argued during the campaign that the chairmanship gave her the clout to deliver for Louisiana oil and gas interests. But voters focused more on Landrieu's vote for Obamacare and support for other Democratic policies.

What Newly Elected Senator Joni Ernst Did 2 Days After the Election Tells Us All About Her Character



What Newly Elected Senator Joni Ernst Did 2 Days After the Election Tells Us All About Her Character

Joni Ernst was elected Iowa’s first female U.S. Senator on Tuesday and was in uniform and on duty with the Iowa National Guard on Thursday.

Lt. Col. Joni Ernst has been juggling her civilian and military lives since joining the National Guard in 1993. She is on duty every week, according to her husband Gail, who told National Review:

Not many folks know she is in uniform on Thursday and Friday. She does it without fanfare.

Ernst, a combat veteran in Operation Iraqi Freedom, has told the Guard she wants no special treatment, but had to re-schedule her drilling from last weekend to till after the election.[...]

Her National Guard duty made it hard on the campaign trail. She stepped away from the campaign for a week to drill over the summer.

Joni Ernst speaks for many Americans who think service, honor, and country should be top priority for every single U.S. elected official. She not only talks about it, she’s doing it.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Obama wouldn't have a clue about serving our country. He is the enemy within big time God bless Joni.

Eric Cantor lost his Republican primary Tuesday in a stunning defeat to Dave Brat - Congratulations Dave Brat!!






House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his Republican primary Tuesday in a stunning defeat to Dave Brat, a little-known tea party-backed challenger, in one of the biggest upsets in recent political history.

Brat had 56 percent of the vote to Cantor's 44 percent.


Mr. Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College who called his win a “miracle,” defeated Mr. Cantor by 56 percent to 44 percent with all precincts reporting. CNN and The Associated Press called the race just a little over an hour after Virginia polls closed at 7 p.m.

Levin Weighs In On Dave Brat Win

Enjoy this 7 minute clip of The Great One slamming establishment GOP for being useless too busy attacking conservatives and TEA Party candidates. When you listen to Levin anyone in doubt should have a clear picture who our enemies are in DC. Yea its the demoncrats but it’s also their progressive brothers and sisters in the GOP!

Levin threw a few bombs at the imperial president too!

Brat’s win is epic, no Majority Leader has ever lost a primary so the win gives some hope that not all Americans are asleep.

Charles Krauthammer: Jeb Bush’s Comments on Illegal Immigrants “Kinda Bizarre” - It is because he is NOT a Conservative



Charles Krauthammer: Jeb Bush’s Comments on Illegal Immigrants “Kinda Bizarre”

Conservative author, columnist and pundit Charles Krauthammer blasted former governor Jeb Bush tonight on Special Report. Charles said Jeb’s comments on illegal immigrants “acting out of love” was “kinda bizarre.”

“If he was feeling optimism before the interview I think it was gone after the interview. And, I don’t think its a matter of fire in the belly, or if he’ll be tough enough or mean enough on the Democrats. I mean that statement he made about illegal immigrants being an “act of love” is kind of bizarre. I grant him the complete sincerity and honesty of his view. He’s always had that kind of approach. But that’s leading with your chin. After all, there are millions of people around the world equally compassionate about the future of their children who are waiting patiently and legally in line.”

Jeb Bush is not a conservative and his comments about Common Core and amnesty for illegals proves it.

No Way, Forget about it GOP!!! GOP donors reportedly working to draft Jeb Bush for 2016 presidential run



GOP donors reportedly working to draft Jeb Bush for 2016 presidential run


A group of top Republican donors have reportedly begun an intense effort to draft former Florida governor Jeb Bush into the race for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.

A Washington Post report quotes one major donor as saying that the "vast majority" of the top 100 givers to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney would back Bush in a nomination fight.

Earlier this week, Bush met privately with casino magnate and GOP donor Sheldon Adelson and addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition's senior members at a dinner held Thursday at Adelson's company airport hangar. The Post, citing a donor in attendance at the dinner, reported that the crowd of about 60 guests applauded when one told Bush, "I hope you run for President in 2016."

‘Patriots Rally for Freedom’ to Kick Off in Central Texas Today Saturday March 15th




‘Patriots Rally for Freedom’ to Kick Off in Central Texas Saturday


A large group of liberty-loving Texans will gather this Saturday outside San Marcos, Texas, on Saturday, March 15 to participate in a “Patriots Rally for Freedom” event that will feature a slate of well-known Texas conservatives. The event will feature liberty performers like Krista Branch, Clifton Jansky and Project Hayseed, along with around thirty speakers on a variety of topics related to conservative values.

According to a press release from event organizers, the “Patriots Rally for Freedom” event is co-founded by two ladies named Linda Buckmaster and Kate Beecham. They call for Americans to “Leave their ‘party hats’ and labels at the gate and unite for America.”

“As Goes Texas-So Goes America,” Linda explained. “The facts are these: 50% of America is on government assistance because of a crumbling economy and overwhelming debt. Our military is being gutted for partisan politics. Texas currently has 38 Electoral Votes for the Presidential election. With the state’s three largest cities now being run by Democrats, Texas is now at a tipping point politically. We are hosting this event to rally the conservative base, unite the RIGHT in order to win as many House and U.S. Senate seats as we can, and retain the conservative governorship of Texas. “
Gary Campbell, another event organizer said in a message to Breitbart Texas, “We bring 30 Speakers in Groups of Expertise to create a "Big Picture" for those confused by "Crisis Deflection" rather than Leadership. We are seeking to reinforce the already common sense decision a majority already feel. The Sleeping Giant is Awake; we seek to Unite and Direct a Red Tide across America.”

The list of confirmed speakers includes; Women on the Wall’s Alice Linahan, former U.S. Senate candidate Dwayne Stoval, former Congressional candidate Katrina Pierson, Dr. Kris Held, Wayne Dupree from NewsNinja.com, TEA Party Community co-founder Ken Crow, Remembrance Project co-founder Maria Espinoza, political news contributor Candice Lanier, Selling U.S. Out author J.R. Martin and many others.

Also to be there.......Lt. Col. Roy White, USAF, Ret. After retiring from the Air Force in 1999 after three combat tours as an A-10 fighter pilot and 20 years of honorable service, Lt Col Roy White began a new career as a commercial airline pilot. However he was haunted by the two very different “isms” he had fought against; Commun”ism” for his first 10 years was well defined; its tactics and objectives


According to the event’s website, other invited speakers include, Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Rick Perry, Governor Scott Walker, Governor Susana Martinez, Former Governor Sarah Palin, and Republican gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott.

“Entertainment will be a key highlight of the event,” Linda said. “American Idol contestant and recording artist Krista Branch is performing and holding a concert along with a great patriotic band named “Project Hayseed” will also be entertaining throughout the day. The event is free to the public and gates will open at 9:00 am. There is a $10 parking fee, barbecue and snacks will be available for purchase, and we encourage everyone to bring their lawn chairs and sunscreen.”





Wild Thing's comment...............

Hope they have a good turn out, the line up of speakers etc. looks good.

Exclusive--Tea Party Movement to Celebrate Five Years of Victories




Exclusive--Tea Party Movement to Celebrate Five Years of Victories


Breitbart News has learned that the Tea Party movement will celebrate its five-year anniversary with a blockbuster event on February 27 in Washington, D.C. that will bring together Tea Party conservatives in Congress with local activists and movement leaders from across the nation.

The Tea Party Patriots will organize the event that will reflect on why the movement formed, the significant victories it has achieved, and the road ahead as it comes under assault by the institutional left and even the Republican establishment that wants to preserve the status quo.

“It’s amazing to think of all the things we have accomplished in the last five years, but there is much more work ahead," Tea Party Patriots co-founder and National Coordinator Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News. "This event will be a great opportunity for assessment but more importantly to map out a strategy for the next five years and beyond.”

Speakers will include unwavering conservative Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who knocked off incumbent Sen. Bob Bennett in 2010 to show the strength of the Tea Party, D.C; Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), who led the fight against Obamacare in the House; Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who has been a fierce opponent of amnesty; and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Mark Meadows (R-NC), Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), and Matt Salmon (R-AZ).

Other speakers will include Tea Party activists like True the Vote's Catherine Englebrecht, who was targeted by the IRS after she was involved in the movement; Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin, who has relentlessly organized on behalf of Tea Party conservatives across the nation; Tea Party Patriots' Keli Carender, who organized the first protest just 72 hours after Rick Santelli's rant that galvanized the formation of the movement; Breitbart contributor Michael Patrick Leahy, who organized the first call to coordinate efforts among various Tea Party leaders; and local Tea Party leaders like Mark Herr.

The Tea Party movement officially formed in 2009 in response to the reckless and profligate bailouts and stimulus and immediately organized to fight against the government takeover of health care. Though Obamacare ultimately passed, much of what the Tea Party movement predicted would happen if the monstrous bill were adopted is coming to fruition.

The Tea Party is often described as a "vibrant movement of liberty loving Americans determined to protect their freedoms from an ever growing federal government" that seeks to "educate Americans about the importance of having a constitutionally limited, fiscally responsible government that preserves an environment for free markets to thrive."

While the IRS decided to target Tea Party groups as they were gaining strength, the Republican establishment initially dismissed the movement and thought it would dissipate even after the Tea Party dragged Republicans back to power in the House in the historic 2010 midterm elections.

That soon changed, though, as the Republican establishment--like Karl Rove's Crossroads groups and former Rep. Steve LaTourette's Main Street Partnership (a group that is funded by union money)--and groups frustrated by the Tea Party, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, became threatened by the movement's success. Instead of embracing the movement like former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the Republican establishment decided to devote millions to wage war against the Tea Party.

Despite being attacked by Republicans, the movement continues to thrive and frustrate the ambitions of the political class in Washington, D.C.'s "Boomtown" despite the GOP establishment. Last week, the White House conceded that President Barack Obama was damaged in 2013 because of his legislative failures, particularly on amnesty, gun control, and excessive government spending on the Farm Bill and food stamps. The Tea Party movement fiercely opposed all of those initiatives while many in the Republican establishment did not.

Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow reflected on the importance of the Tea Party movement, saying that the mainstream press can be defeated and Americans can put the country back on the right track if the Tea Party movement is energized to combat the institutional advantages Democrats currently have in the media, academia, and pop culture.

The movement, which also despised the big-government domestic policies of the Bush administration, congealed after CNBC's Rick Santelli went on his rant on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on February 19, 2009 against a federal government that he said promotes bad behavior with bailouts for its cronies while leaving taxpayers holding the bag.

The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST on February 27.

Carender, the national grassroots coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots, said that Tea Party activists will not want to "miss this and I have no doubt that you will be inspired by the activists who are set to speak at the event."

"What is so great about our movement is that we have the greatest activists in the country," she told Breitbart News. "I just wish there was more time so that we could highlight all of them."




Wild Thing's comment...........


They deserve to celebrate, they have made a huge difference with the work they have done and there have been a lot of elected politicians on the right because of the movement of the tea party.

Mark Levin on the Republican Party....





"Reagan talked about it in the 70's when he was fighting the Ford wing of the Republican party. That is what we are fighting , this is another fight. It is the Ford wing of the Republican party vs. the Reaganites. That is what we conservatives are that is what the Tea party is all about. So it the rise of the Reaganites against the Ford wing once again. Phrase it any way we wish. These people are very comfortable with big government. Listen to Mitch McConnell he does not have a clue he does not have an argument, he does not have a cause.Nothing! Listen to Boehner, the only time he got emotional was when he was screaming at conservatives. "




Wild Thing's comment............

I tried typing out what Mark said, he is right and that is why we see some Republicans attacking conservatives that thank Ted Cruz and Mike Lee for example. Those doing the attacks are the Ford wing of the party. They call themselves conservatives but if they are why do they hate and attack the tea party, why do they hate anyone that calls a liberal Republican a rino. I have seen these Ford wing Republicans calling we conservatives morons, and a constant bashing across the board of those of us that want those we elect to stand strong and not weaken when they get to Washington.

Mark gave an excellent explanation of this IMO. It explains a lot to me, I have been shocked to see some people going after in full attack mode of let's say Ted Cruz when he was doing what we asked him to do and fight back against Obamacare. That was so horrible how some in our party have been attacking him. sheesh.And at the same time these same people seldom are attacking Obama or anyone on the left......... really weird and certainly not what a conservative would be doing.

Allen West: “As Conservatives, We Don’t Care About The Color of Your Skin, We Care About The Color of Our Flag”


Allen West: “As Conservatives, We Don’t Care About The Color of Your Skin, We Care About The Color of Our Flag”


Allen West headed to Amsterdam Tuesday to embark on National Review’s conservative summer cruise, saying he owes his success as a “young black man” to the nature of his character.

“I was invited to be a guest speaker with a premier assembly of conservative thinkers,” the Republican wrote. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud to know that a young black man born and raised in his same neighborhood rose based upon character. It is this equality of opportunity that is great about America … not President Obama’s phony rhetoric of inequality which is no more than equality of outcomes — social egalitarianism.”


Mr. West has been particularly vocal about racial tension since George Zimmerman was acquitted more than two weeks ago in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

“I would hope William F. Buckley Jr. and Dr. King are smiling above as the embodiment of conservatism and the civil rights movement has come to fruition. The nature of conservatism is that it sees no color. The nature of liberal progressivism is that color is all it sees,” he concluded.


On Sunday, Mr. West wrote, “as conservatives, we don’t care about the color of your skin, we care about the color of our flag.”

Liz Cheney was on Happening Now this morning to discuss her editorial in the Wall Street Journal where she called Barack Obama the most radical president in history. Cheney said, "My point in this oped was to say, "Wait a second!" When you have a president who's embarked on such a dangerous path, whether you want to talk about domestic policy, ignoring the debt, trying to trample on our Second Amendment rights, on our religious freedom, national security, weakening this nation... Across the board his policies are so dangerous that it is not obstructionism to block them, I think, it is indeed patriotism.

Fox News Hires Former US Rep. Allen West


Fox News Hires Former US Rep. Allen West


n May 16, Fox News announced it had hired former Florida Representative Allen West as a contributor to offer political commentary during the network's daytime and prime time shows.

In a statement, Executive Vice President of Programming Bill Shine said, "Representative West’s congressional and military experience along with his fearless approach to voicing key issues will provide a valuable point of view to the FOX News lineup."

West is currently the Director of Next Generation TV Programming with PJ Media; until the 2012 elections, he was Florida's congressman from the 22nd District, a seat he won in 2010. West lost his seat last year, largely due to redistricting. Prior to that, West was a 22-year veteran of the United States Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2004.

Rep. West was recently mentioned as an ideal candidate to replace Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll, who resigned in March.

Sen. Ted Cruz Stands Up for Americans Against the Internet Sales Tax


Here is video of Sen. Ted Cruz today rising on the Senate Floor to stand up for Americans against the Internet Sales Tax legislation. Cruz gave a great speech, and said the bill will “hurt economic growth,” and will in effect, “create a national internet sales tax.” Cruz said this is the last thing we ought to be doing at a time of economic hardship. He just destroys the legislation, pointing out how it will be a devastating and unsustainable burden of compliance for so many small businesses to collect the correct sales tax amount and send it to more than 9,600 different jurisdictions. They would also be subject to audits by every one of those jurisdictions.

Cruz nails it when he points out this bill is driven by the big-box retailers and gigantic online retailers because they want to drive the smaller competitors out of business.


Unfortunately the Senate passed internet sales tax bill amid opposition from conservatives

Black Conservatives at Hannity Townhall: ‘Liberals Believe They Own Black America’








Black Conservatives In Explosive Hannity Townhall: ‘Liberals Believe They Own Black America’


On Monday night’s Hannity show, over two dozen black conservatives participated in a townhall discussion, addressing what it is like to be a black conservative in America.

The show kicked off with Sean Hannity interviewing Dr. Ben Carson. Hannity asked Dr. Carson what kind of insults he has received since coming out publicly as a conservative. Carson noted:

Some of the words cannot be used. It’s really kind of sad. I feel more sorrowful for the people who do that, than I feel angry for them. I represent something that they just can’t quite get their heads around: ‘How can you be black and not march lock-step behind the [airquote] leaders?’ ‘How can you think for yourself?’ ‘And how can you actually have some ideals that actually make sense that don’t agree with their leaders?’ I am very hopeful that this a trend that will be broken. I’m going to continue to speak out. Of course, there is an old trick that you ostracize, you ridicule, you isolate, and you keep repeating…. I’m not sure it’s going to work quite frankly because I don’t plan on going anywhere.


In a gripping moment, when Hannity asked the townhall participants how many have been “called horrible names because of [their] conservatism,” every participant’s hand shot up.

Dr. Carson noted that this demonstrates to him that “the very people who love to talk about tolerance are some of the least tolerant people there are.”

Hannity and Dr. Carson then discussed Hannity’s recent remarks that black conservatives have no freedom of speech, with Dr. Carson agreeing and expanding on Hannity’s point:


One of the founding principles of our nation is freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet they are so many people who are afraid to talk. I’ve gotten so many emails and letters from people who say ‘I support you 100% but please let this remain anonymous.’ Why? Because they don’t want to have the fiery darts thrown at them.

Following the brief interview, Hannity opened up the discussion to the townhall participants, consisting of an array of black conservative ‘all-stars,’ such as Star Parker, David Webb, Ron Christie, Jesse Petterson, Kevin Jackson, Deneen Borelli, Crystal Wright, and Reginald Jones, among others.

The lively discussion ranged from the attacks and smears they face as a result of their political affiliation, to the reasons for their political beliefs, and the challenges they face.

The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley noted the racist comments that often emerge from the Left, as well as the “double standard” applied to black conservatives:

There’s a need on the Left to almost psycho-analyze black conservatives, put ‘em on the couch. In other words, Justice Scalia’s views on affirmative action are simply wrong but Clarence Thomas is a self-hating, self-loathing traitor to his race. There’s a double standard. And I think the reason you have that is… if you can psycho-analyze someone, de-legitimize them, you don’t have to take on their ideas… and that’s what the Left tries to do to black conservatives.

Hannity noted that each of them is a “profile in courage.”

Kevin Jackson, Executive Director of The Black Sphere, noted that Vice President Joe Biden’s comment about going into the “black sections” of his town, as an example of the level of racism on the Left that is simply dismissed or allowed.

Project 21’s Reginald Jones spoke on the threat to liberals’ “ownership” of black America, stating: “What Dr. Carson and everybody in here represents is a threat to their sense of ownership. Liberals, in total, believe that they own black America….”

Radio host David Webb added that the Left requires allies of “convenience” and victims, stating: “It’s about power and control.”

The spirited discussion was emotional at times, with Deneen Borelli wiping away tears near the end of the show.

Hannity expressed plans to hold an additional townhall on this issue, prompting cheers of agreement from the participants.



Wild Thing's comment................

I am so glad Hannity did this. The only sad thing is too many then need to see it won't.

Liz Cheney: “Those Who Advocate More Liberal Policies For The GOP Are Wrongheaded Or Democrats, Or Both”


Liz Cheney: “Those Who Advocate More Liberal Policies For The GOP Are Wrongheaded Or Democrats, Or Both”


Liz Cheney: Republicans, Get Over the 2012 Loss—and Start Fighting Back



“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well-taught lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”—Ronald Reagan, March 30, 1961

President Reagan’s words, spoken 52 years ago this weekend, still ring true, with one modification. If we don’t defend our freedoms now against the onslaught of President Obama’s policies, we won’t have to wait until our sunset years for American freedom to be a distant memory.

These days Washington careens from crisis to crisis, most of them manufactured. The Obama White House and its allies are engaged in the kind of sky-is-falling melodrama normally reserved for the lives of teenage girls. (As the mother of teenage girls, I speak with authority on this, though the comparison does a disservice to teenagers.) With our attention diverted by each fiscal cliff or sequestration drama, we are at risk of missing the real threats to the republic.

President Obama is the most radical man ever to occupy the Oval Office. The national debt, which he is intent on increasing, has passed $16 trillion. He believes that more government borrowing and spending are the solution to every problem. He seems unaware that the free-enterprise system has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system devised by man.

Perhaps his ignorance of that fact explains his hostility toward the private sector. In one of his autobiographies, the president writes that he felt “like a spy behind enemy lines” during his brief stint working for private industry.

The president has launched a war on Americans’ Second Amendment rights. He has launched a war on religious freedom. He has launched a war on fossil fuels. He is working to nationalize one-sixth of the economy with job-killing ObamaCare. He wants to collect a greater portion of every American paycheck, not for the purpose of paying down the national debt but to expand his governing machine. He doesn’t believe in creating a bigger pie with more opportunity for all. He believes in greater redistribution of a much smaller pie. If you’re unsure of what this America would look like, Google “Cyprus” or “Greece.” [...]

In the face of this reality, it is time for Republicans to get over their loss in 2012. We are all that stands between this president’s policies and a damaged and diminished America. It is time to get back in the fight.

And I do mean fight. Republicans are being counseled to move the party to the left, but in my experience, those who advocate more liberal policies for the GOP are wrongheaded or Democrats, or both. You can be sure that President Obama would welcome an America in which the Republican Party is preoccupied with remaking itself into a watered-down version of the Democrats.

It is time to defend our values with vigor and courage. We are conservatives. We believe in limited government, low taxes, a strong national defense, individual freedoms, self-reliance, the importance of the family, and the miracle and authority of America’s founding documents. We know that government is best that governs least and governs closest to the people. We know that the private sector is the engine of economic growth. We know that America is the exceptional nation, the best that has ever existed. We know that the men and women who wear the uniform of the U.S. military are the greatest fighting force and the greatest force for good that the world has ever known.

We know that preventing this president from enacting devastating policies is not obstructionism. It is patriotism.

The miracle of the Constitution resides to a large extent in the first three words, "We the People," placing sovereignty with us, not with our rulers. We are the inheritors of these blessings of liberty, and it is our solemn duty to fight for, protect and defend our freedom. Now is the time to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and man the barricades for freedom.

Ted Cruz Gets Holder to Admit That Killing Americans with Drones on U.S. Soil Is Unconstitutional




Ted Cruz Takes Over For Rand Paul’s Filibuster Of Brennan…and Eric Holder on Drones.


.



On Wednesday, testifying before a Senate panel, Holder was prodded repeatedly about this assertion by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Holder eventually admitted that it would not be constitutional to execute an American citizen without due process.

RELATED: Obama Administration: Yes, The President Can Drone Strike Americans On U.S. Soil…

“In your legal judgment, does the Constitution allow a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil to be killed by a drone?” Cruz asked Holder pointedly.

“For sitting in a café and having a cup of coffee?” Holder replied. Cruz clarified that his hypothetical individual subject to a drone strike did not pose an “imminent and immediate threat of death and bodily harm,” but that person is suspected to be a terrorist.

“I would not think that that would be an appropriate use of any kind of lethal force,” Holder replied.

“With all respect, Gen. Holder, my question wasn’t about appropriateness or prosecutorial discretion. It was a simple legal question,” Cruz clarified.

“This is a hypothetical, but I would not think, that in that situation, the use of a drone or lethal force would not be appropriate,” Holder replied.

“I have to tell you I find it remarkable that in that hypothetical, which is deliberately very simple, you are not able to give a simple, one-word answer: no,” Cruz added. He said he think that his scenario would constitute a “deprivation of life without due process.”

Holder agreed and added that lethal force in Cruz’s case “would not be appropriate.”

“You keep saying appropriate – my question isn’t about propriety,” Cruz goaded. “My question is about whether something is constitutional or not.”

When Cruz was about to abandon his line of questioning after a number of equivocations from Holder, the attorney general clarified that he was saying “no” such actions would not be constitutional.

Jeb Bush was back out bashing conservatives on Hannity last night. The former Florida governor had this to say on how the GOP treats Asian voters,

“It relates to this question of, we want your vote but we really don’t want you on our team.”




Wild Thing's comment.............

Really? Name one Republican who has said anything remotely close to that about Asians?

Disgusting little man he can dream all he wants about being President but it will never happen. STOP bashing the Republican party , that is the last thing we need to draw people into our party.

Awesome and He Should Be Our President....Mitt Romney Compares Obama to Failed Roman Emperor: “Nero Is Fiddling!”




Mitt Romney and Ann Romney went on FOX News Sunday for their first major interview since the November election. Mitt compared Barack Obama’s leadership skills to that of a failed Roman emperor.

Why? Why would you not want to have the flexibility to do what is right for the country? The only answer that comes back is that there may be more interested in showing pain and saying, “See what the other guys did!” Look, this is the country. This is America we’re talking about at a critical time. And, Nero is fiddling. Come on guys focus on getting America through a difficult time.

A Peek at Awesome Mitt Romney, in an exclusive interview with "Fox News Sunday," Showing Tomorrow ( Sunday)




Watch the Romneys on "Fox News Sunday" at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel -- check local listings for Sunday morning airtimes.

Mitt Romney, in an exclusive interview with "Fox News Sunday," said Washington is letting a “golden moment just slip away with politics,” as he described watching the unfurling fiasco over the sequester. He described it as the “hardest” part about losing in November.

The 2012 Republican presidential nominee and his wife Ann spoke extensively with "Fox News Sunday" in their first post-election interview.

Romney said the automatic spending cuts which take effect Friday should be seen as an “opportunity” to finally solve America’s fiscal problems – by coming together on a “long-term fiscal” package.

“I mean I see this as this huge opportunity and it's being squandered by politics, by -- by people who are more interested in a political victory than they are in doing what's right for the country. And it's very frustrating, I have to tell you,” he said. “The hardest thing about losing is watching this -- this critical moment, this golden moment just slip away with politics.”

Romney criticized Obama, his former campaign rival, for “flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing.”

“The president has the opportunity to lead the nation and to bring Republicans and Democrats together. It's a job he's got to do and it's a job only the president can do,” Romney said.

Joining other Republicans who say the administration is making the sequester seem worse than it is, Romney criticized the administration for recently releasing low-priority illegal immigrants from Arizona jails.



Wild Thing's comment.................

I am really looking forward to seeing this interview in full tomorrow. Things would be so much better if Romney had won. We would have a real President for one thing and not someone that hated our beloved country.

Dr. Ben Carson On Criticizing Obamacare: “Somebody Has To Stand Up To The Bullies”



Dr. Ben Carson On Criticizing Obamacare: “Somebody Has To Stand Up To The Bullies”

DR. BENJAMIN CARSON: There are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that's not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.

DR. CARSON: One of the things I also said during the speech is there will be some people who will say, 'but you’re a doctor and you’re a surgeon, you should be sticking to that.' And I mentioned the fact that five physicians signed the Declaration of Independence and were involved in the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and several other things.

There’s absolutely no reason at all that physicians, scientists, shouldn’t be involved in things that affect all of us. We’re people who've learned how to make decisions based on facts, empirical data, rather than on ideology, and one of the geniuses, one of the real things that made us a great nation, is that we brought people from all backgrounds into the legislative process. So that all of us would be able to place our interests there and we've gone significantly away from that.

And no one goes up to a lawyer and says why are you getting involved in this, that and the other thing. I don't see why they would say it to a physician, who has more education than anyone else in society.

DR. CARSON: There’s no question that [President Obama] has advocated, you know, basically a policy of tax the rich. And I have advocated a policy that comes from the Bible, which is a very fair policy of proportional taxation. If it was good enough for God, why wouldn’t it be good enough for us? The minute you deviate away from that, you begin to get into all kinds of biases. And one could legitimately make the argument that the rich pays too many taxes. The top 1% pays 37% of the taxes, the top 5% [pays] 59% of the taxes, but they don't make that much of the income. One could make that argument.

NEIL CAVUTO, FOX NEWS: Obviously, you got a quite a round of applause there. Some in that room and elsewhere since that video has gone viral have said you should run for president. What do you think of that?

DR. BENJAMIN CARSON: Well, actually I've had people tell me that for many years now. If I had a nickel for everybody who told me that, I could finance my campaign.

CAVUTO: You and me both. You and me both. Your reaction to that is what? I mean, you don't think that's for you? You want to be a doctor and help people, what?

DR. CARSON: I've always said if God grabs me by the collar and sticks me in that arena, that's the only way that I'll do it. But, no, I'm actually going to retire in June from surgery. I will still teach, I will still be involved, but I'm going to retire from surgery, so it does open up a lot of possibilities for me. I'm very focused on education and getting the populace back to where it used to be -- like back in 1831 when Alexis de Tocqueville was so impressed -- because an uneducated populace will fall for anything.

And if you and you talk to most people, they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth of education, of knowledge, of understanding of what the real issues are and, therefore, they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they're supposed to think and they keep repeating that and pretty soon they say, 'Oh, well that must be true.' (Your World, February 11, 2013)

Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin vs. Juan Williams on the Issue of Obama’s ‘Lies’





Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin vs. Juan Williams on the Issue of Obama’s ‘Lies’


Fox News host Sean Hannity highlighted President Barack Obama’s “lies” during his show on Wednesday. He began by playing a compilation video of the president pledging not to “take a dime from lobbyists,” promising to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term and promising to close Guantanamo Bay, among other things.

Obama failed to fulfill any of those promises — and not even his supporters would try to argue otherwise.

Hannity argued that Obama didn’t follow through on additional promises as well, including failing to prevent middle class tax increases (payroll tax hike) and imposing increased health care costs on Americans.

“When it comes to Obamacare, the CBO projects that by 2022, 7 million Americans will not be able to keep their employer insurance program thanks to Obamacare,” Hannity said.

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams defended Obama’s health care law, saying that everyone knew the health care overhaul would be implemented in stages and associated costs are inevitable, just like they were with Social Security and Medicare.

Michelle Malkin was not as easy on the president. In fact, she called the president the “lying liar in chief.”

“Could you spell it out any clearer in all of those soundbites the comparison between what he promised and what people are getting?” Malkin began, adding that even unions are trying to get opt of Obamacare.

Malkin also lamented the payroll tax hikes that hit the middle class.

Happy Birthday President Ronald Reagan - America's Greatest President!!!





Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction


"Our Founding Fathers, here in this country, brought about the only true revolution that has ever taken place in man's history. Every other revolution simply exchanged one set of rulers for another set of rulers. But only here did that little band of men so advanced beyond their time that the world has never seen their like since, evolve the idea that you and I have within ourselves the God-given right and the ability to determine our own destiny. But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free. Thank you"

Ed Meese: Reagan Could Teach Obama Much About Constitution




With Ronald Reagan’s birthday approaching on Wednesday, Feb. 6, his former Attorney General Edwin Meese shares with Newsmax his remembrances of the 40th president — and says President Obama could learn a lot from the Gipper’s legacy.

Meese headed the Justice Department from 1985 to 1988 and was also a Reagan adviser and member of the National Security Council during the Reagan administration. He currently holds the Ronald Reagan Chair in Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation and is Chairman of Heritage’s Center for Legal and Judicial Studies.

“I remember Ronald Reagan as one of our greatest presidents,” Meese tells Newsmax.


“He was a man of good humor, a great sense of humor, great optimism; a man who led the country successfully out of the depths of a serious recession, one of the most serious economic crises we’ve had since the 1930s; a man who developed a foreign policy that ultimately led to the end of the Cold War; a man who built up our national defense strength and who served the country very well, and that’s why he is regarded by so many of our people as one of the nation’s greatest presidents.”


Asked if he could compare and contrast Reagan’s presidency with that of President Obama.......


Meese responds: “I really can’t because there’s no comparison.”



As for what Obama could learn from Reagan’s legacy
,


Meese observes: “He could learn a lot about the Constitution and following the Constitution. He can learn about having a foreign policy that serves America’s best interests, as well as the interests of peace in the world. He can learn a lot about spending controls and he can learn a lot about having an economic program and a domestic program that follows the precepts of limited government as well as promoting individual liberty and freedom.


“So there’s an awful lot he could learn, but so far he hasn’t indicated any intent to learn.”

Meese also tells Newsmax about Reagan’s widow Nancy Reagan and what she’s doing to keep President Reagan’s legacy alive.

“I’ve spoken with her a few months ago and I’ve kept in touch with the Reagan Library people and her staff. So I keep up on how she’s doing and she’s doing an excellent job of promoting properly the legacy of her husband.

“She has been very active in the work of the presidential foundation, the presidential library. The last time I was actually with her was out there at the library and she’s certainly carried on in excellent fashion in terms of President Reagan’s legacy.”

Thank you Ed Meese. President Reagan was truly the best and greatest president in my lifetime.

Appearing on “The Andrea Tantaros Show” this morning, Sen. Marco Rubio pushed back at Colin Powell’s contention on “Meet the Press” that the GOP has “a dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party.”

“I disagree with General Powell’s assessment of the Republican Party today,” Rubio said.

“The Republican Party is the party that [has] placed two Hispanics in the U.S. Senate,” Rubio told Tantaros, “and we have an African-American senator in the United States Senate.”

Charles Durning, WW11 Veteran, awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts, and Actor Passes Away R.I.P.




He portrayed everyone from blustery public officials to comic foils to put-upon everyman.

Charles Durning, the two-time Oscar nominee who was dubbed the king of the character actors for his skill in playing everything from a Nazi colonel to the pope, died Monday in New York City. He was 89.

Durning's longtime agent and friend Judith Moss told the Associated Press that he died of natural causes at his home in the borough of Manhattan.

"I was born a character actor," Durning told USA TODAY in 1990, when he starred as Big Daddy in a Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. "I was born looking older — and I've been aging since I was a teenager."

"The actor's actor," as Durning was eulogized by Henry Winkler on Twitter after his death, he portrayed everyone from blustery public officials to comic foils to put-upon everymen. But he may be best remembered by movie audiences for his Oscar-nominated, over-the-top role as a comically corrupt governor in 1982's The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Many critics marveled that such a heavyset man could be so nimble in the film's show-stopping song-and-dance number, not realizing Durning had been a dance instructor early in his career. Indeed, he had met his first wife, Carol, when both worked at a dance studio.

The year after Best Little Whorehouse, Durning received another Oscar nomination, for his portrayal of a bumbling Nazi officer in Mel Brooks' To Be or Not to Be. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe as the harried police lieutenant in 1975's Dog Day Afternoon.

He won a Golden Globe as best supporting TV actor in 1991 for his portrayal of John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald in the TV film The Kennedys of Massachusetts and a Tony in 1990 for his Hot Tin Roof role.

Durning had begun his career on stage, getting his first big break when theatrical producer Joseph Papp hired him for the New York Shakespeare Festival.

He went on to work regularly, if fairly anonymously, through the 1960s until his breakout role as a small town mayor in the Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play That Championship Season in 1972.

He quickly made an impression on movie audiences the following year as the crooked cop stalking con men Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the Oscar-winning comedy The Sting.

Dozens of notable portrayals followed. He was the would-be suitor of Dustin Hoffman, posing as a female soap opera star in Tootsie; the infamous seller of frog legs in The Muppet Movie; and Chief Brandon in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy. He played Santa Claus in four different movies made for television and was the pope in the TV film I Would Be Called John: Pope John XXIII.

"I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director," Durning told the Associated Press in 2008, when he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Other films included The Front Page, The Hindenburg, Breakheart Pass, North Dallas Forty, Starting Over, Tough Guys, Home for the Holidays,Spy Hard and O Brother Where Art Thou?.

Durning also did well in television as a featured performer as well as a guest star. He appeared in the short-lived series The Cop and the Kid (1975), Eye to Eye (1985) and First Monday (2002) as well as the four-season Evening Shade in the 1990s.

"If I'm not in a part, I drive my wife crazy," he acknowledged during a 1997 interview. "I'll go downstairs to get the mail, and when I come back I'll say, 'Any calls for me?'"

Durning's rugged early life provided ample material on which to base his later portrayals. He was born into an Irish family of 10 children in 1923, in Highland Falls, New York, a town near West Point. His father was unable to work, having lost a leg and been gassed during World War I, so his mother supported the family by washing the uniforms of West Point cadets.

The younger Durning himself would barely survive World War II.

He was among the first wave of U.S. soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his Army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners.

In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts."Too many bad memories," he told an interviewer in 1997. "I don't want you to see me crying."

"They train you to do awful things, then they release you and wonder why you are so bitter and angry," Durning told USA TODAY in 1994, when he narrated the Discovery Channel's Normandy: The Great Crusade. "Scars that you have from wounds heal. Scars that you have mentally never heal."

"There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry. ... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it."

In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts.

"Too many bad memories," he told an interviewer in 1997. "I don't want you to see me crying."

Tragedy also stalked other members of his family. Durning was 12 when his father died, and five of his sisters lost their lives to smallpox and scarlet fever.

A high school counselor told him he had no talent for art, languages or math and should learn office skills. But after seeing King Kong and some of James Cagney's films, Durning knew what he wanted to do.

Leaving home at 16, he worked in a munitions factory, on a slag heap and in a barbed-wire factory. When he finally found work as a burlesque theater usher in Buffalo, he studied the comedians' routines, and when one of them showed up too drunk to go on one night, he took his place.

He would recall years later that he was hooked as soon as heard the audience laughing. He told the AP in 2008 that he had no plans to stop working.

"They're going to carry me out, if I go," he said.

Durning and his first wife had three children before divorcing in 1972. In 1974, he married his high school sweetheart, Mary Ann Amelio.

He is survived by his children, Michele, Douglas and Jeannine. The family plans a private family service and burial at Arlington National Cemetery.


.


from wiki:

Durning served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Drafted at age 21, he was first assigned as a rifleman with the 398th Infantry Regiment, and later served overseas with the 3rd Army Support troops and the 386th Anti-aircraft Artillery (AAA) Battalion. For his valor and the wounds he received during the war, Durning was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Heart medals.

Durning participated in the Normandy Invasion of France on D-Day, June 6, 1944, and was among the first troops to land at Omaha Beach. In Episode S03E09 of the program Dinner for Five, which also included Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise and Charles Nelson Reilly), Reynolds spoke about Durning’s service career for him, as Durning did not like to talk about it much. Reynolds revealed that Durning was in a group of gliders who overshot their landing zone and that he had to fight alone all the way back to the beach. Reynolds also stated that his own father was there fighting about 15 yards away and that Durning was probably the most decorated veteran (then) still alive from World War II.Some sources state that he was with the 1st Infantry Division at the time, but it is unclear if he served as a rifleman or as a member of one of the division’s artillery battalions.[citation needed]

Durning was wounded by a German “S” Mine on June 15, 1944 at Les Mare des Mares, France. He was transported to the 24th Evacuation Hospital. By June 17 he was back in England at the 217th General Hospital. Although severely wounded by shrapnel in the left and right thighs, the right hand, the frontal region of the head, and the anterior left chest wall, Durning recovered quickly and was determined to be fit for duty on December 6, 1944. He arrived back at the front in time to take part in the Battle of the Bulge, the German counter-offensive through the Ardennes Forest of Belgium and Luxembourg in December 1944.

After being wounded again, this time in the chest, Durning was repatriated to the United States. He remained in Army hospitals to receive treatment for wounds until being discharged with the rank of Private First Class on January 30, 1946.



Wild Thing's comment................

He was an awesome actor and one of the old Hollywood that loved our country and served in the military.

RIP to a Great man, and a fine actor

Monica Crowley: 'From a Conservative Perspective, Nov. 6th Was a National Suicide'

"From a conservative perspective, November 6 was a national suicide. There is a very thin, fine, red line between us and total destruction of the American idea. That thin, red line was the Republican Party. If this party also commits suicide, this will be catastrophic.”

Byron York: Jim DeMint Told Me, Had We Won the Senate and Romney Were President, ‘It Would Be a Different Question Altogether’







Byron York: Jim DeMint Told Me, Had We Won the Senate and Romney Were President, ‘It Would Be a Different Question Altogether’

BYRON YORK, WASHINGTON EXAMINER:

“It shocked me. (Demint leaving Senate) This is what happens when parties lose, when it doesn’t look good. They picked up all of the seats in the Senate in 2010, went backward in 2012, doesn’t look great going forward. And some of the leading lights then start looking at other things. This is certainly the case with DeMint. I asked him after your interview here, I asked him, I said look, would you have done this if Republicans had won control of the Senate? And he said if we controlled the Senate and Romney were president, it would be a different question altogether”

Rush Limbaugh: Republicans Need to Just Walk Away (Video)




Rush Limbaugh: Republicans Need to Just Walk Away


RUSH: I’m having trouble coming up with a term for this. But the conventional wisdom, the groupthink, I mean, folks, I don’t care where you go, and this is not a criticism. I’m actually looking at this in wonderment. I don’t care where you go. It could be a left-wing blog or right-wing blog, a left-wing magazine, a right-wing magazine, a left-wing newspaper, right-wing newspaper, they’re all analyzing these negotiations in the same way: Can Obama prevail over the Republicans? Do the Republicans have any leverage? Are the Republicans going to get entitlement reform? Will there be any serious tax reform? Will there be any serious spending cuts?

All of that is just bunk. It’s not real. That’s not what’s happening. In the leverage that the Republicans have? “That’s right, Mr. Limbaugh, the Republicans have leverage that they don’t even know they have, because Obama doesn’t want that second term recession. They need to call his bluff. They don’t dare cave on this because Obama does not want to be saddled with a second term recession.” I don’t think he cared about the first term recession. And besides, an Obama recession is never gonna be called a recession. The people who write the history are Obama’s friends. Whatever happens economically: 399,000 unemployment claims is good news, and 7.9, 8.2% unemployment, not a problem.

Would somebody explain to me how the people who elected Obama, who support Obama, who love Obama in the media, in the universities, who write the history, are going to write anything critical of the guy no matter what happens? Even if there is a second term recession, you’re gonna need a telescope to find it reported, just like you need a telescope to find Oprah’s network now. It won’t be reported as a recession. So what is the leverage that the Republicans have? To my mind the only leverage they’ve got is to walk away from this, to stop playing, to stop talking, to stop playing this game.

The Republicans lost. Now, they still control the House of Representatives. Boehner still runs the show there. But the only leverage that I can see that they’ve got is to back out of this and make sure that whatever happens, they don’t have any fingerprints on it. I know what you’re saying, and you’d be right. You’re saying, “But, Rush, but, Rush, no matter what the Republicans do, they’re gonna get blamed for it.” Yes, totally true. No matter what happens. If there is a reported recession, in fact, it will be said to be the Republicans in the House fault. No matter what happens, that’s going to be said, and no matter what happens, as we sit here now, the American people, the majority of whom, are gonna believe that.

Report: Jeb Bush Considering 2016 Presidential Bid - NO thank you!!!!!


Report: Jeb Bush Considering 2016 Presidential Bid…

Daily Caller


Friends of Jeb Bush say the former Florida governor is starting to mull a run for president in 2016, according to the The New York Times.

The newspaper says the Republican – whose father and brother were both president – is “weighing financial and family considerations.”

Those considerations include the length of time he’s spent in office, how the recession hurt his wealth and whether Republicans are ready to nominate another Bush.

“It continues to intrigue him, given how much he has to share with the country,” Al Cardenas, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, said of Bush.

Earlier this week, his son, Jeb Bush Jr., seemed to indicate that Bush is open to a campaign by saying in a CNN interview, “I certainly hope so,” when asked if his father will run.

It’s believed that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio – who considers Bush to be a mentor and is thought to have national ambitions– would likely not embark on a campaign for president if Bush decided to run.




Wild Thing's comment.................

Good lord, no thank you. Enough with the Bush family. Enough with the Kennedy family and any other family in politics. I am sick of it.

Republican Rep. Steve King echoed Mitt Romney’s recent remark that President Barack Obama won the race by giving “gifts” to voters


King: presidential election was ‘Santa Claus versus personal responsibility’


At Iowa Republican Gov. Terry Branstad’s birthday fundraiser on Saturday night, Republican Rep. Steve King echoed Mitt Romney’s recent remark that President Barack Obama won the race by giving “gifts” to certain demographics.

“Well, he did,” King told The Daily Caller, when asked for his thoughts on Romney’s comment that Obama had promised gifts to Hispanics, blacks and young voters. “It was Santa Claus versus personal responsibility and fiscal responsibility.”

King said that, in his analysis, too much of the electorate wants to rely on government.


“I think that I’d characterize it a little bit differently. I think that the people who voted for dependency outnumbered the people who voted for personal responsibility,” King said. “Obama promised, and those promises resonated with people who decided that they would rather be dependent upon government, rather than have their freedom and their opportunity to have a real, vigorous economy. So that’s what I think was the dividing philosophy.”

Romney also struggled with turnout among conservative voters, King added, noting that on Election Day the Republicans lost ground with groups like Hispanics and blacks, relative to how the party normally polled.


Wild Thing's comment...................


I am fed up with the idiot Republicans bashing Romney because he spoke the truth. Not only that but the day before Rush Limbaugh had said the same thing when he referred to Obama as Santa Claus to his voters.

Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie and all the others have been mouthing off attacking Romney and they better realize it is not going over well their attacks on Romney with many that supported Mitt and are tired of the Republicans eating their own.

HERO Allen West Defeated by Horrible Democrat ~ Due To Lazy Republicans





Allen West Election Results: Democratic Newcomer Patrick Murphy Prevails

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) isn't coming back to Congress.

After months of battling through one of the nastiest and most expensive races in the country, the Tea Party freshman was knocked out of his seat, barely, by Democratic newcomer Patrick Murphy.

NBC called the race for Murphy early Wednesday morning. By the time all votes were counted, Murphy came out ahead of West by about 2,400 votes.

"I am humbled by the outpouring of support from the voters of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches,” Murphy said in a statement. “I pledge to be a representative who will work across the aisle, listen to all points of views, and work to end the divisiveness in Congress. Our country faces many challenges, and by working together we will continue to move our country forward.”

It was a tight race all night, which paralleled the razor-thin margins polls showed between the candidates over the past few months. West and Murphy were competing for Florida's 18th Congressional District, an evenly split district that was redrawn in 2010.

Romney Rally in Morrisville, Pennsylvania Last Night 30K to 35K with Overflow of Supporters







Here is complete video of Gov. Mitt Romney’s massive rally today in Morrisville, Pennsylvania. The rally in Bucks County drew a huge crowd of more than 30,000 plus overflow people, with the crowd at times chanting when Romney referenced Barack Obama, “Send him home! Send him home!”



Wild Thing's comment......

Great speech! Awesome crowd of supporters and the entire rally was fantastic.

It is so great to hear speeches from Mitt, there is no anger like when we hear Obama speak, no hate the rich, hate business, hate coal and oil etc from Mitt. This is the way an America President should be speaking about our country and the American dream and about our troops.

It was a fantastic rally and the crowd was so huge, they even had an overflow outside the rally because they could not fit everyone in. So it would be hard to tell how many more to add to the 30,000 that were counted in the main rally area. Great speeches by everyone and there were several speakers.

Charles Krauthammer : "it’s unequivocal Mitt Romney won.”




Charles Krauthammer reacted to the third presidential debate at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. He said, “I think it’s unequivocal Mitt Romney won.”

Krauthammer told Megyn Kelly on Fox News that Romney won both tactically and strategically. He assessed that Romney had to show the American people that he was someone they can trust as commander in chief.

During the debate, he said, “Romney went large. Obama went very, very small – shockingly small. Romney made a strategic decision not to go after the president on Libya or Syria or other areas where Obama could accuse him of being a Bush-like war monger.”

Romney Great Debate! Fox News' Chris Wallace: You Would Have Thought Romney Was The President





Chris Wallace offered some instant analysis tonight after the third and final presidential debate at Lynn University.

Wallace said that if he’d been on a desert island for the last four years and parachuted in during the middle of the debate, he would have thought Mitt Romney was president and trying to hold on to the title, while President Obama was the challenger.

Wallace also called the president “slashing,” “personal,” and “cutting,” but said he found Romney to be focused on “the big picture” and that he “seemed to have much more of an agenda for the future.”




.



Chris Wallace provided an instant fact check of the claims made by both President Obama and Mitt Romney.

Wallace looked at several contentious moments throughout the debate, including the exchange in which Romney and Obama

went back and forth about whether the president wanted a Status of Forces Agreement following the Iraq War. Of this exchange, Wallace said, “It’s clear Romney was right, Obama was wrong.”

He also weighed in on Obama’s claims about the military. During a heated moment, the president said, “You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed.”

Wallace pointed out that during the debate, a Marine tweeted Fox News Channel saying that the Marines still use bayonets.

I am glad Chris Wallace did the Fact check that was great.

Actor Scott Baio Speaks Out for Mitt Romney and Fixing America (Video)






he actor, now starring in Nick at Nite’s new comedy, “See Dad Run,” stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Friday where he explained why he supports the Republican Presidential nominee.

“I believe in Governor Romney for a lot of different reasons. I’ve met him many times and he’s a straight up guy, he’s a good guy, great family man [and] his kids are fantastic,” Scott told Kit Hoover and Billy Bush. “I think we need to be fixed in this country.”

Scott said being a Republican in typically-left-leaning Hollywood can be intimidating and he feels for actress Stacey Dash, who recently faced a barrage of mean-spirited comments after revealing she’s voting for Romney.

“I don’t think anybody should bash anybody for what they believe. I have my beliefs, you have yours,” he said. “Just leave her alone, let her say what she wants to say. Freedom of speech.”

Adding, “I don’t know why they’re beating [Stacey] up the way they are – I really don’t.”

Scott, a self-proclaimed “big Reagan guy,” frequently engages in political discussions with Democrats on Twitter and said he doesn’t understand why some people become so heated over a difference of opinion.

“I have conversations with people who don’t see eye-to-eye with me all the time. I don’t get in wars with them – I just say, ‘Hey, it’s what you believe. I still like you,’” he said. “I’ve got no problem with anybody.”

The former “Charles in Charge” star has been actively involved in the Romney campaign and plans to continue to help out however he can.

Wife Of Army Sniper Killed In Afghanistan Overjoyed To Hear Romney Talk About Her Husband, “One Of The Last Things He Said To Me Was ‘I Need A New President’”





Jane Horton began crying on the other end of the phone when she learned that Mitt Romney had been using the story of her husband, Chris Horton, who was killed in Afghanistan, as a part of his stump speech.

“Wow,” the 26-year-old said. “I had no idea.

“To be honest, I’ve been through a lot and I’m not a super emotional person but it brings me to tears,” Horton said in an interview with ABC News, after being informed of her husband’s newfound spot on the national stage. “Not that he’s telling my story, but that he’s telling my husband’s story, it means the world to me.

“One of the last things my husband said to me before he was killed, when I would ask him, ‘Chris, what do you need over there? What can I send you?’ he said, ‘I need a new president,’” Horton recalled.


Chris Horton, who was acting as a combat sniper in the Oklahoma National Guard, was killed when he and several others were ambushed in Paktya, Afghanistan, in September 2011. When he was buried, protestors from the Westboro Baptist Church turned up at his funeral, and as Romney now tells it to crowds of thousands, his wife wasn’t angry.

“She was asked what do you think of that and this is the quote she said this, ‘Chris died for them to be able to protest,’” Romney said at a rally last weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla. “This is quite a nation we live in. There are some extraordinary people.”

Actress Stacey Dash Endorses Mitt Romney



Stacey Dash on Romney: ‘I Chose Him Not By the Color of His Skin But the Content of His Character’

STACEY DASH: I just feel that as a country, this is my choice. This is the man I want to lead my country. It is my right as an American cit
izen. It’s my Constitutional right to have my choice of who I want to vote for for President. And I chose him not by the color of his skin but the content of his character.

PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Have you heard from Mitt Romney at all?

DASH: Yes, well not Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan.

MORGAN: Paul Ryan rang you today?

DASH: Yes, he did.

MORGAN: What did he say?

DASH: He said, “Thank you so much for your support,” and that I was brave, and they support me, and I thought that was so generous and kind. You know? Lovely. Really

MORGAN: Have any of the Obama campaign (unintelligible)?

DASH: No, they haven’t.

MORGAN: What does it say to you about the state of the political discourse and the debate in America that one innocuous tweet from you, purely because you’re an actress and the color of your skin, sparked this kind of mayhem?

DASH: I think it tells me that our, the state of our country is that we are not united. You know? We need to be united, and we all need to understand that we’re all capable of achieving the American dream. And, but that has to be something that is self-realized. And also to demonize someone for achieving the American dream is unfair.



Wild Thing's comment..........

I am proud of Stacey, I tweeted to her and thanked her and told her she was very brave. To hang in there that she had a lot of support. She was getting a ton of attacks because she spoke out, which happens a lot to conservatives in Hollywood.

Steve Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me



http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/09/steve_wynn_on_obama_ill_be_damned_if_ill_have_him_lecture_me.html


Steve Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me

On the Tuesday broadcast of the nightly Nevada political program "Ralston Reports," Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts sat down with host Jon Ralston to discuss the presidential election.

Wynn, an outspoken critic of President Obama, didn't hold back in his latest criticism of the incumbent president seeking a second term.

"I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back," Wynn said about Obama to Ralston. An excerpt of the interview is below.

WYNN: I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back.

The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.

Wynn on a scrapped business plan: "I'm afraid of the president. I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up. I have no idea. And I have to tell you Jon that every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks."

Good for Steve Wynn. He has spoken out before about Obama but I think this time it was even stronger.

Mitt Romney Tells about Meeting one of the Navy SEALs Who Died in the Terrorist Attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya

Here is video of Gov. Mitt Romney today delivering a moving tribute to fallen Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, who was killed in the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Romney told of how he happened to meet Doherty by chance a couple of years ago at a Christmas Party they actually went to by accident, believing it to be a party they had gotten a flyer about in their neighborhood. Romney spoke with emotion about how impressed he was by this young man, and about finding out Doherty had died in the attack. Romney said Doherty had rushed to the Consulate from a safe place across town to render aid when they heard the attack was underway. He praised Doherty as an example of the American Spirit.

Michael Reagan: Romney Had the Best Debate Since Lincoln





Michael Reagan: Romney Had the Best Debate Since Lincoln

Michael Reagan, the son of former President Ronald Reagan, reacted to the first presidential debate. Many in the media agreed that Mitt Romney won the debate against President Obama, and even compared the GOP candidate to President Reagan. But his son disagrees, saying that this was the best debate performance since Abraham Lincoln.

He told Uma Pemmaraju that when it comes to his father, people remember a few sharp lines when he debated President Jimmy Carter or Walter Mondale. But, he says, “The debate that Mitt Romney put on the other night was not a Ronald Reagan debate, it was a Mitt Romney debate. […] From the beginning to the end — there was great moments all the way through.”

Reagan worries that by looking for another President Reagan, a new leader may be overlooked. He said, “We weren’t looking for Abraham Lincoln when we found Ronald Reagan, we were looking for a leader and I think the other night we found one.”


Wild Thing's comment...............

It was a great night and many that were still not thrilled with Romney have become supporters now. I hope it shows the talking heads on TV, the ones that say they are Republican that they need to stop with the " Romney needs to this and that." It only hurts our chances of getting Obama out of office and we only get this one chance.

Did You Know Mitt Romney Once Worked as a Garbage Man?




Mitt Romney Worked As a Garbage Man....

Yesterday, AFSCME ( Obama people) put out a rather silly ad featuring Mitt Romney’s former garbage collector in La Jolla, California. The ad begins:


.


My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney’s trash.

"My name is Richard Hayes, and I pick up Mitt Romney's trash. We're kind of like the invisible people. He doesn't realize that the service we provide -- if it wasn't for us, it would be a big health issue, us not picking up trash.
Residents do come out and shake our hands. Sometimes they give us hugs and thank us for the job we're doing, hand us water and Gatorades. Tell us we're doing a good job and keep up the good work. Picking up 15, 16 tons by hand, that takes a toll on your body. When I'm 55, 60 years old, I know my body's gonna be break down [sic]. Mitt Romney doesn't care about that."


Get the sledgehammer message? Mitt Romney doesn’t understand! Romney could have no idea about quotidien things such as trash collection because his wealth and detachment prevent him from having to know what life is like for blue-collar workers such as Mr. Hayes.

There’s just one problem with this, and it lies on page 251 of Mitt Romney’s book, "No Apology":

During my campaign for governor, I decided to spend a day every few weeks doing the jobs of other people in Massachusetts. Among other jobs, I cooked sausages at Fenway Park, worked on asphalt paving crew, stacked bales of hay on a farm, volunteered in an emergency room, served food at a nursing home, and worked as a child-care assistant. I’m often asked which was the hardest job – it’s child care, by a mile.

One day I gathered trash as a garbage collector. I stood on that little platform at the back of the truck, holding on as the driver navigated his way through the narrow streets of Boston. As we pulled up to traffic lights, I noticed that the shoppers and businesspeople who were standing only a few feet from me didn’t even see me. It was as if I was invisible. Perhaps it was because a lot of us don’t think garbage men are worthy of notice; I disagree – anyone who works that hard deserves our respect. – I wasn’t a particularly good garbage collector: at one point, after filling the trough at the back of the truck, I pulled the wrong hydraulic lever. Instead of pushing the load into the truck, I dumped it onto the street. Maybe the suits didn’t notice me, but the guys at the construction site sure did: “Nice job, Mitt,” they called. “Why don’t you find an easier job?” And then they good-naturedly came down and helped me pick up my mess.




Wild Thing's comment........

I love that Romney had such a GREAT way of combating this idiot. I am sick of the BS from the kool-aid Obama people. They hate the rich, hate those that have been a success in their lives and we hear this hate from Obama and all of his lefties day in and day out.

The American Dream is a real thing and Obama does all he can to destroy it.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway Endorses Mitt Romney and Introduces Mitt at Rally in Denver last night




Endorsement from John Elway...as Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway takes the stage to introduce Governor Mitt Romney at a campaign rally in Denver, Colorado October 1, 2012

Awesome crowd of supporters during a Romney campaign rally at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum on October 1, 2012 in Denver, Colorado.


John Elway: “Governor Romney is a proven leader with the experience and background to turn around our struggling economy,” said John Elway. “In these tough economic times, we need a president who understands how to get America working again – by standing on the side of taxpayers and small-business owners who do the real job creating. I am endorsing Governor Romney and Congressman R
yan for President and Vice President because I know having the courage to make decisions and tackle challenges is what leads to results and real change. America needs a comeback team – Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are that team.”

Mitt Romney responds:
“Leaders come in many forms, and John Elway has always exemplified leadership, first as a quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Broncos, and now as an executive vice president for the team,” said Mitt Romney. “He’s had to overcome challenges during his career, and he knows what it takes to turn things around when things get tough. I’m proud to have him on my team as we campaign to lead the comeback this nation desperately needs.”

Wild Thing's comment............

The rally was packed and overflowing, most of the rallies have been like this for Mitt this last couple of months. I am thrilled that John Elway endorsed Mitt this is great news. Meanwhile Obama has the endorsement of Hugo Chavez.

Romney Responds To Obama Calling Deaths in Mideast of Ambassador and Navy SEALs as Bumps in the road





..."Bumps in the road? We had an ambassador assassinated. We had a Muslim Brotherhood member elected to the presidency of Egypt. Twenty-thousand people have been killed in Syria. We have tumult in Pakistan, and of course Iran is that much closer to having the capacity to build a nuclear weapon. These are not bumps in the road, these are human lives. These are developments we do not want to see. This is time for a president who will shape events in the Middle East, not just be merciful or be at the mercy of events in the Middle East. I will get America on track to have the kind of leadership we need so we can shape the future of this part of the world and keep America strong."...Mitt Romney at rally in Pueblo, Colorado.

Romney had a great interview. They aired both Romney and Obama interviews last night on "60 Minutes". The comparison was of course vast and if anyone that watched it cannot tell the difference they need their head examined. hahhaha But I am guessing the Obama people were mostly not watching since the Emmy's were also on TV and football as well.

Mitt Romney Remembers Libya Attack Victims at Campaign Stop in Ohio






At a campaign event in Ohio Friday afternoon, Mitt Romney took some time to remember the four Americans killed in this week’s attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya.

The bodies of Amb. Chris Stevens, diplomat Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods arrived at Andrews Air Force Base earlier today.

“We are a patriotic nation. We love this country. We love the men and women who serve this country,” said Romney.

Romney calls Obama administration's early response to attacks a disgrace ~ Thank you!!!!





Mitt Romney Hammers Initial Obama Administration Response to Attack on U.S. Embassy in Egypt


FOX News

Gov. Mitt Romney issued a statement Tuesday night hammering the Obama Administration’s response to attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt yesterday, in which the United States Flag was torn to shreds and a black Islamic Flag was raised. The initial response on the U.S. Embassy website in Cairo was to apologize for anyone who hurt the feelings of Muslims. No condemnation of the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was mentioned initially. Romney’s statement was issued before it was known that the U.S. Ambassador to Libya had been killed in another attack in Libya:

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney criticized the Obama administration in the wake of attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt and Libya on Tuesday, branding as "disgraceful" an early response to the assault in Cairo as sympathizing with the attackers.

The assaults were linked to a video being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian in the U.S. Protesters say the video posted on the Internet, a 14-minute trailer for a movie, attacks Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

Protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo to replace the American flag with an Islamic banner. In the Libyan city of Benghazi, an American was shot to death as protesters burned and looted the U.S. consulate.

The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement saying, in part, that it condemns "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims -- as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions." The statement, an apparent reference to the video, was posted hours before the American's death in Libya was reported.

In a statement Tuesday night, Romney said he was outraged by the attacks and the death of the American consulate worker. He added: "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a statement released about the same time as Romney's, condemned the attack in Libya "in the strongest terms."

"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind."

In response to Romney, White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an email early Wednesday: "We are shocked that, at a time when the United States of America is confronting the tragic death of one of our diplomatic officers in Libya, Gov. Romney would choose to launch a political attack."




.



Wild Thing's comment........

I say thank God for Romney's response the the hell with the WH, they already messed up. At least Romney took a stand and not a stand apologizing to the freaking Muslims. So go to Hell Obama and your entire administration.

What Mitt Romney Left Behind: The People Who Bought His House Tell Their Story ~ A Must Read



What Mitt Romney Left Behind: The People Who Bought His House Tell Their Story

Source

Buying a house is usually an impersonal transaction. The buyer sees a scrubbed version of the home, artfully “staged,” possibly with a fresh coat of paint and flowers on the table. Once a purchase price has been negotiated, the buyer and the seller sign legal papers in triplicate, and the new owner gets a set of keys and – if lucky – an extra garage door opener. So, when Hal and Corinne Prewitt decided to buy Mitt and Ann Romney’s Park City, Utah home in spring of 2009, they figured they were in for another paperwork hassle. What they got, however, was a great house, interesting interactions with the man who’d just lost a bid to be the previous election’s GOP nominee, and some insight into the character of the possible next President. In fact, their interaction with Romney was so different than what the Prewitts expected, Hal decided to write down his experience in a Google document which has since been downloaded over 100,000 times.

First of all, the Prewitts were impressed – and a little shocked — when Mitt Romney met them at the property on moving day. There were no brokers or anyone there at the house – just the former governor walking around the house to make sure the new owners were comfortable and familiar with their purchase. “He spent as much time as we needed showing us around, answering our questions and explaining how to use and service the home’s equipment,” Hal wrote. “And when he was done, he gave us his direct contact information should we have problems.

Secondly, the Prewitts were fascinated by the way Gov. Romney – worth, by some calculations, hundreds of millions of dollars – decided to move his things. Some people hire professional movers to pack their things, others hire them to transport them, and others prefer a do-it-yourself approach. Gov. Romney fit into the last category. He went to Home Depot, bought wood, and built the necessary containers to transport his possession from the house. Then, he asked a friend and some family to help him pack his family photos, mementos, and grandchildren’s toys. Then, they carried his things into a U-Haul, which he drove to his new home in California.

The home, according to the Prewitts, was built with a focus on their family, even though it had “no swimming pool, tennis court or movie theater. There are no maid, butler or nanny quarters. Clearly Ann and Mitt raised their kids. No gold faucets, no fancy silverware. The kitchen was simple and typical of an average three bedroom home, very much like those in which we were raised.” Because the Prewitts bought much of the home’s contents, they also got to see the way the family really lived in their home: the linens didn’t have the highest thread count, the master bedroom pillows had tags from a discount store, and almost everything — the art, furniture and drapes — were American made.

Plus, there were lots of toys for the grandchildren. Also, in the Romney’s former mud room, Hal and Corinne found the former governor’s ski gloves with holes in the fingers. Apparently, one of Mitt’s sons had suggested he replace the gloves, but Gov. Romney, whom his sons have described as “frugal” and even “cheap,” thought he could salvage them. When Hal and Corinne found the gloves, they’d been altered.

“Mitt had gone to the garage tool box and wrapped them with duct tape. Thrifty? Yes, and the repair provided an immediate practical solution rather than traveling to the store to buy a new pair,” Hal wrote. “His indifference to appearance demonstrated his confidence, true character and priorities. Good qualities, but easily misunderstood because they are quite different from those displayed by many famous people and certainly politicians, who highly protect and prize their appearance.”

In the Romney’s master bedroom, was a prominent painting of Jesus Christ. “Most Americans know little about Mormonism and we didn’t either,” Hal wrote. “But Mitt Romney clearly had a home of faith and family just like the rest of us.”

“One of the most interesting questions many have asked is, ‘as president will he impose his beliefs on others?’” Hal wrote. “Many claim that a President Romney would take away rights and impose his beliefs on all Americans.” However, possibly the most surprising discovery was a small stash of alcohol in the house, which – the Prewitts were told – was for guests only. Mormonism prohibits drinking alcohol, of course, and the Romneys are teetotalers. However, they kept a few drinks on hand to be good hosts and make sure their guests felt comfortable. Hal believes this stash shows the Romneys wouldn’t impose their beliefs on others from the White House, because they didn’t even impose their beliefs on others in their own house.

The Prewitts didn’t support Romney in the 2008 election. Neither Republicans nor Democrats, they knew very little about Romney, Utah, or his former Presidential bid when they looked for a winter home. However, they felt they needed to speak out, because the caricature of Romney on television is such a far cry from the real man who showed him around the house and packed his own boxes that day.

“Mitt Romney… is not aloof or out of touch. He is a man of faith, family and American values. A guy who is well-grounded. It is not beneath him to roll up his shirt-sleeves and get the job done,” Hal wrote. “The fact that he has allowed this to be kept so very private is a true testament to his character and shows how different he is from many other politicians.”

Charles Krauthammer Weighs In on Chris Christie and Ann Romney Speeches




Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer gave Ann Romney’s speech at the RNC positive reviews and pointed out an implicit contrast to President Obama. He said, “I think the second part of it where she spoke in praise of her husband was utterly heartfelt and extremely effective.”

Krauthammer referred Mrs. Romney’s line when she said, “Mitt doesn’t like to talk about how he has helped others because he sees it as a privilege, not a political talking point. And we’re no different than the millions of Americans who quietly help their neighbors, their churches and their communities. They don’t do it so that others will think more of them. They do it because there is no greater joy.”

He assessed, “She’s basically saying there are two kinds of being genuine. There’s the political genuine where you appear to be caring and all that when you give your speeches and when you do handouts from the public treasury […] And then there’s real generosity that I’ve seen, she says, in my life. And that’s what he’s got and the beauty of it is he won’t talk about it because he has a sense that you don’t exploit it.”

Mitt Romney Unveils Plan to make the United States Energy Independent - Video







Mitt Romney Unveils Plan to make the United States Energy Independent by 2020

1. Make the process to get permits to drill on Federal lands easier by giving the states the power to make those decisions.

2. Open up offshore drilling

3. Establish an Energy Partnership with Canada and Mexico – including building the Keystone Pipeline.

4. Get an accurate inventory of just how much energy resources we have in America.

5. Stop using regulations to prevent the production of energy in America.


.

Romney Would Give Reins to States on Drilling on Federal Lands

New York Times


By proposing to end a century of federal control over oil and gas drilling and coal mining on government lands, Mitt Romney is making a bid for anti-Washington voters in key Western states while dangling the promise of a big reward to major campaign supporters from the energy industry.

Mr. Romney's plan, which would turn over decision-making on drilling and mining to the states, echoes the "Drill, baby, drill" strategy that another Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, used to great effect in the 2008 campaign.

The federal government owns vast portions of states like New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Alaska. Under President Obama, officials in Washington have played a bigger role in drilling and mining decisions on federal lands in the states, and such involvement rankles many residents and energy executives, who prefer the usually lighter touch of local officials.

With gasoline prices again approaching $4 a gallon, Mr. Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee, is also trying to merge energy and economic policy in a way that will make voters see increased energy production as a pocketbook issue. He said that his overall energy plan, which includes speedy approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada and new drilling off the coast of Virginia and the Carolinas, would help the country achieve energy independence and create three million drilling and manufacturing jobs.

"I'm going to change the regulatory and permitting process," Mr. Romney said Thursday at a rally in Hobbs, N.M., in the giant Permian Basin oil fields, where companies are eager to begin drilling on millions of acres of federal lands. "Sometimes I have the impression that the whole regulatory attitude of the administration is trying to stop oil and gas and coal - that they don't want those sources, that instead they want to get those things so expensive and so rare that wind and solar become highly cost-effective and efficient."

Giving states control over the energy resources on millions of acres of federal lands would be a radical shift from decades of policies under both Democratic and Republican presidents, dating all the way to Theodore Roosevelt, who first set aside vast tracts of territory to preserve wildlife. Since then, the federal government has tried to balance exploitation of mineral resources with other uses like recreation and environmental protection.

"This step would be a change in national policy direction going back at least 50 years, giving control over national assets to localities," said Michael E. Webber, associate director of the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy at the University of Texas at Austin. "Local decision makers could inhibit production that could be against the national interest or could encourage production that could pollute waters or air in another state."

Mr. Romney said that states like North Dakota and Colorado grant drilling permits on state-owned lands in days or weeks, compared with the nearly a year that it takes the federal government to grant approval. "They found a way to do a job in a more efficient way," he said. "On federal lands, the permitting process to actually drill and get oil or gas is extraordinarily slow."

The Romney campaign acknowledged that such a significant policy change would require the approval of Congress. Getting such legislation passed, even if Republicans controlled the House and the Senate, would be very difficult, given certain opposition by Democrats and perhaps even some Republicans.

But even if it never passes, the proposal is liable to generate enthusiasm among voters who favor smaller government, especially in Western swing states like Nevada, which is about 80 percent federal land.

"We love it," said Ally Isom, a deputy chief of staff to Gov. Gary R. Herbert of Utah, a Republican. "We understand better than Washington how to better manage our lands. We actually live here."

An individual close to the Romney campaign said that Mr. Romney's staff drafted the proposal in consultation with industry executives, including Harold Hamm, an Oklahoma billionaire who is the chairman of the campaign's energy advisory committee and chief executive of Continental Resources, an oil and gas driller.

Just this week, the oil and gas industry gave nearly $10 million toward the Romney election effort in two fund-raisers.

The Romney aide, who said she was not authorized to speak on the record about the plan, said that any consultation with industry officials was simply to tap their expertise and did not mean the proposal was being shaped to serve their interests.

Mr. Romney's proposal drew immediate praise from the industry, which has complained that gas production on public lands has slowed under President Obama, even while it has surged on private lands.

"Empowering states, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all federal government approach, is the right way to increase American energy," said Kathleen Sgamma, a vice president at Western Energy Alliance, a group of oil and gas producers.

But environmentalists and former Interior Department officials called the proposal an irresponsible break from traditional federal protection of wildlife.

"It is a preposterously bad idea - we are talking about federal trust lands that belong to the whole nation," said Bobby McEnaney, a senior aide at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

Federico Peña, secretary of energy in the Clinton administration and now a co-chairman of Mr. Obama's re-election campaign, said Mr. Romney's plan would cause more problems for the oil and gas industry. "I cannot imagine a world in where there are 50 different kinds of rules and regulations for industry," Mr. Peña said. "To see Balkanization of rules and regulation I think would drive the industry crazy."

The federal government owns about 28 percent of the 2.27 billion acres of land in the United States. But as of March 2012, only about 37 million acres were under lease for oil and gas operations, of which about 16.3 million acres have active oil and gas production or exploration, according to the Interior Department.

Under Mr. Romney's proposal, the federal government would still be able to set national standards for air and water pollution, which equally apply to drilling on federal and private lands, an aide said. But states would be authorized to conduct their own environmental reviews and issue drilling permits as quickly as they would like, as long as the drilling was not in protected wildlife areas or national parks.

Elected officials in states like Utah have called for federal officials to transfer or sell federal lands to the states, echoing the Sagebrush Rebellion of the 1970s, when politicians and landowners in the West advocated a similar move.

The George W. Bush administration allowed individual drilling permits to be issued without a detailed environmental review, resulting in a surge of oil and gas production.

But never before has the federal government offered simply to cede control over how federal land is developed to state officials, said John Leshy, a professor at the University of California Hastings College of the Law and an Interior Department lawyer in the Clinton administration.

"It is pretty revolutionary to say we are going to keep title but turn it over to the states," he said. "It is a Sagebrush Rebellion with a twist."

I love this, I have waited so long to hear this from a Republican nominee. I pray he become President.

Romney Would Give Reins to States on Drilling on Federal Lands...Rick Perry would approve of this big time and so do I.

400 Independent Economists, 5 Nobel Laureates Support Romney’s Plan




400 Independent Economists, 5 Nobel Laureates Support Romney’s Plan


FOX News

Over 400 independent economists signed a statement at the website Economists for Romney in support of what they call the Republican presidential candidate's "bold economic plan for America."

Five Nobel laureates (Gary Becker, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Myron Scholes) signed the statement which, in part, reads, “We enthusiastically endorse Governor Mitt Romney’s economic plan to create jobs and restore economic growth while returning America to its tradition of economic freedom.”

The economists also denounced Obama's economic ideas, claiming they led to an "an anemic economic recovery and high unemployment." They further assert, "his future plans are to double down on the failed policies, which will only prolong slow growth and high unemployment."

The economists write that Romney's plan is based on sound principles: "more contained and less intrusive federal government, a greater reliance on the private sector, a broad expansion of opportunity without government favors for special interests, and respect for the rule of law including the decision-making authority of states and localities."


These economists note that Romney would:

Reduce marginal tax rates on business and wage incomes and broaden the tax base to increase investment, jobs, and living standards.

End the exploding federal debt by controlling the growth of spending so federal spending does not exceed 20 percent of the economy.

Restructure regulation to end “too big to fail,” improve credit availability to entrepreneurs and small businesses, and increase regulatory accountability, and ensure that all regulations pass rigorous benefit-cost tests.

Improve our Social Security and Medicare programs by reducing their growth to sustainable levels, ensuring their viability over the long term, and protecting those in or near retirement.

Reform our healthcare system to harness market forces and thereby reduce costs and increase quality, empowering patients and doctors, rather than the federal bureaucracy.

Promote energy policies that increase domestic production, enlarge the use of all western hemisphere resources, encourage the use of new technologies, end wasteful subsidies, and rely more on market forces and less on government planners.

In "stark contrast," Obama, according to the economists, "has failed to advance policies that promote economic and job growth, focusing instead on increasing the size and scope of the federal government, which increases the debt, requires large tax increases, and burdens business with many new financial and health care regulations."

The economists note that Obama has:

Relied on short-term “stimulus” programs, which provided little sustainable lift to the economy, and enacted and proposed significant tax increases for all Americans.

Offered no plan to reduce federal spending and stop the growth of the debt-to-GDP ratio.

Failed to propose Social Security reform and offered a Medicare proposal that relies on a panel of bureaucrats to set prices, quantities, and qualities of healthcare services.

Favored a large expansion of economic regulation across many sectors, with little regard for proper cost-benefit analysis and with a disturbing degree of favoritism toward special interests.

Enacted health care legislation that centralizes health care decisions and increases the power of the federal bureaucracy to impose one-size-fits-all solutions on patients and doctors, and creates greater incentives for waste.

Favored expansion of one-size-fits-all federal rulemaking, with an erosion of the ability of state and local governments to make decisions appropriate for their particular circumstances.

"In sum, Governor Romney’s economic plan is far superior for creating economic growth and jobs than the actions and interventions President Obama has taken or plans to take in the future," the economists write. "This November, voters will make a fundamental choice between differing visions of America’s economic future."


.

In 2008 Americans voted for an image. They voted for an empty slogan. They voted for a skin color. They even voted against a man (G.W. Bush) who wasn't running for office.
This year they need to vote for prosperity. They need to vote for ideas that work. They need to vote to protect their children's future. They need to vote to end runaway taxation, regulation and spending. The need to vote for freedom.

Rush Limbaugh: " I don’t remember a vice presidential pick that has so energized a campaign as this choice of Paul Ryan"





RUSH:

I actually wasn’t surprised by this. Folks, I gotta tell you something. I’ve been trying to think, honestly, objectively think the whole weekend. And I’m gonna ask you. Maybe I’m forgetting something. I don’t recall a vice presidential pick which has so energized the party. I don’t remember a vice presidential pick that has so energized a campaign as this choice of Paul Ryan.

These crowds, these standing-room-only crowds, the enthusiasm at these rallies, something about this, just a gut feeling I have. I don’t want to attach too much to it because it was gonna happen anyway, a vice presidential pick, but I’ve been thinking about this all weekend long. I go back and forth, the positives, the negatives, the strict political science analysis of it. Then you compare that with just the gut feel, and you come away with… at least I have come away with the following conclusion. This is it. This election, we’ve said it before and others have said it, but this is ball game.

Charles Krauthammer on the Romney/Ryan Team





Krauthammer: ‘Change Is Now On The Side Of The Republicans’

Saturday morning, political analyst Charles Krauthammer offered insight on Mitt Romney’s selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate. He said two major things have changed with the addition of Ryan to the political campaign picture.

First is Ryan’s youth. But second, is the shifting grounds and changing of the debate dynamic brought forth by Ryan’s presence.

Krauthammer cited Ryan’s invocation of faith in his remarks on the USS Wisconsin Saturday when he said ‘our rights are from nature and God.’ By doing this, Krauthammer said a Romney / Ryan ticket is running on what is essentially the argument: “no” to the status quo.

After running in 2008 on a platform of ‘hope and change,’ Krauthammer says Obama’s failure to deliver on campaign promises leaves an opening for Romney and Ryan. “You had your shot at charisma and hope and change,” Krauthammer said. “It’s not hope and change [...] it’s a rather dismal, declining America.”

“Change is now on the side of the Republicans.”

Mitt Romney and Military Groups Slam Obama Attempt to Block Giving U.S. Military Special Voting Privileges in Ohio – Video



Mitt Romney, Military Groups Slam Obama Attempt to Block Giving U.S. Military Special Voting Privileges in Ohio

Mitt Romney responds to news President Barack Obama is attempting to block an Ohio law that gives members of the U.S. Military an extra three days for early-voting. The law attempts to assist members of the military overseas who often have difficulty in getting their absentee votes in on time.


he National Guard Association of the United States and more than a dozen other fraternal military groups asked a U.S. judge for permission to intervene in and oppose a lawsuit filed by President Barack Obama’s campaign challenging the fairness of Ohio’s early voting rules.

The campaign sued Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted on July 17, claiming the state’s two-tiered early voting process violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantees of equal protection under the law.

State law allows families of armed forces members and civilians overseas to vote through the Monday before an election while early voting for all other Ohioans ends the preceding Friday. The campaign seeks a court order invalidating the statutes.

“Members of the U.S. Armed Forces risk their lives to keep this nation safe and defend the fundamental constitutional right to vote,” the military groups said.

With No Proof Harry Reid A Known LIAR..... Attacks Mitt Romney



Vile POS Harry Reid Accuses Romney Of Not Paying Taxes For 10 Years, This Time On Senate Floor...


REID: I would suggest that when we’re talking about trust, that we look no further than the person my friend the Speaker of the House wants to be president. He’s refused to release his tax returns, as we know. If a person coming before this body wanted to be a cabinet officer, he couldn’t be if he did the same refusal Mitt Romney does about tax returns. So the word’s out that he hasn’t paid any taxes for ten years. Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t. We already know from one partial tax return that he gave us, he has money hidden in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and a Swiss bank account. Not making that up, that’s in the partial year that he gave us. Mitt Romney makes more money in a single day than the average middle-class family makes in two years–or more.


.



Mitt Romney To Harry Reid On Tax Dodge: 'Put Up Or Shut Up'

“It’s time for Harry Reid to put up or shut up. Harry’s going to have to disclose who it is he spoke with because of course that’s totally and completely wrong. It’s untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. It’s wrong. So I’m looking forward to have Harry reveal his sources and we’ll probably find out it’s the White House. Look, the Obama campaign is going to do everything in its power to try and talk about anything besides the president’s record, home prices, median American incomes, gasoline prices, 23 million people underemployed or unemployed. They don’t want to talk about that.”




.





Limbaugh: Despicable Harry Reid Continues To Smear Mitt Romney

RUSH: Does he have no shame? We’re talking about a despicable human being here. Does Harry Reid have any shame? I think he drew the short straw on this. They probably assigned this to somebody, and Harry got the short straw. They sat around, “Somebody’s gonna take this public. Romney hasn’t paid his taxes. Harry, it’s your turn.” “Aw, I don’t — I don’t –” “Harry, it’s your turn, you gotta do it. Take one for the team.” And it’s entirely possible that Harry didn’t have to have this assigned, that he was just willing to do it on his own. It’s very typical. But that’s what this is about.

Olympic Swimmer Gets To Meet Mitt and Ann Romney , She has a great story



Mitt Romney with US swimmer Breeja Larson as they attend the men's 400m individual medley heats swimming event at the London 2012 Olympic Games on July 28, 2012 in London.


.


Swimmer Breeja Larson of the United States, right, is embraced by U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Saturday, July 28, 2012.



.


About Breeja.....She’s a 20-year-old who didn’t start year-round club swimming until her senior year of high school.

She’s a kid who was absolutely terrified to attend her first college practice at Texas A&M.

She had a scare with thyroid cancer last summer, only to find out the tumors were benign and everything was all good.

And now she’s an Olympian.

“An hour before this race adrenaline kept rushing through and I was getting really tense about it,” Larson said. “I was just like, ‘stay calm, don't shake it out, wait for the race.’ I tried to make my first 50 a little faster so coming home I might have a chance.’”

Larson trailed Soni after the first 50 before pushing ahead in the second half of the race to beat her at the wall, 1:05.92 to 1:05.99. She signed a London phone booth sitting in a corner of the deck, which every Olympic qualifier has done this week.

Dealing with what could have been cancer to coming out of nowhere and punching her ticket to the Olympics in one year. That’s quite a turnaround.

“I didn’t want to say out loud, ‘What if I don’t make it?’” Larson said. “And I definitely didn’t want to say, “What if I do make it?’ I started thinking … ‘When I make it,’ so if it doesn’t happen I’ll be heart-broken and get over it. But if it does happen it will be great.”

Larson’s story doesn’t stop there. Her family moved to Boise, Idaho when she was in high school and there was not a formal swimming program at her new school. They only swam four hours a week but Larson, who also liked volleyball, track and softball, wanted to choose swimming as her pastime. Her parents told her she would have to pay her own way in college so she was banking on getting a Division 2 scholarship via the pool.

Larson moved in with her aunt and uncle in Arizona and joined a club team that practiced four hours a day. She was finally getting what she wanted and needed. Shortly after that, Larson’s coach hooked her up with Texas A&M coach Steve Bultman and he offered her a swimming scholarship.

That was two years ago. Now she's headed to London.

“He took a big risk in recruiting me,” Larson said of Bultman. “It was really hard. I was the slowest kicker, I probably moved backwards a little bit. All of the drills, I was the last one to the wall and everyone had to be patient waiting for Breeja to come in so we could finish.”

Those days are behind her. In two years she went from last to first.

Great story.


These photos are from Opening Night at the Olympics in London. My guess is that the swimmer Breeja and her family are for Romney.

Gov. Scott Walker: The More We Hear From Romney, the Better Off We Are




Gov. Scott Walker: The More We Hear From Romney, the Better Off We Are

Governor Scott Walker (R) talked to Gretchen Carlson about the unemployment situation in Wisconsin on today’s Fox and Friends. The unemployment rate in Wisconsin has gone from 7.7 percent to 6.8, which Walker said has happened since they put a different focus on creating jobs.

Since all 17 states saw a drop much greater than the national unemployment rate, Walker said,

“That’s because of a renewed focus of Republican governors. Whether it’s in my state, whether it’s other states throughout the Midwest and throughout the country, they put the focus on people creating jobs, not just the government and I think that tells you what would happen if we put a chief executive who thought the same way at our national level.”


He continued, “When we say Wisconsin’s open for business, we mean it and I think those are things that Governor Romney is talking about at the national level, which I think provides a great contrast to what we see in Washington.”


Walker said that he believes that the more Romney talks about his agenda to turn the economy around and get our fiscal house in order, the better off he is.


“I also think the more times we hear from Romney, the better off we’re going to be because he’s got a great message.”

Wild Thing's comment.............

Good words from a good man. I think all the Republican gov.'s will appreciate if Romney wins. Unlike having to deal with Obama and his socialist agenda messing with every State, every citizen.

Support for Chik-fil-A is getting national attention ~ Fantastic!





Dan Cathy, the president and chief operating officer of popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A, said in a radio interview this week that legalizing same-sex marriage is “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.”

Appearing on “The Ken Coleman Show,” Cathy spoke of his company’s pride in its socially conservative character, but then offered an assessment of same-sex marriage that might lose the chain a few customers.

“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” said Cathy.


.

Chick-fil-A is promoting National Eat at Chick-fil-A Day on August 1st.


‘Imagine how clearly that message would be heard across the nation if Chick-fil-A reported record sales this Wednesday!’ said [National Organization for Marriage's’ [Brian] Brown, who has joined Huckabee in supporting Chick-fil-A day. ‘Please join me this Wednesday in supporting this courageous company, while at the same time sending a powerful message of support to every individual and every company with the courage to stand for marriage.’”

Mitt Romney Gives Speech To VFW and Gets Standing Ovation ( full video and transcript)





Here is complete video of Gov. Mitt Romney’s speech yesterday to the Veteran’s of Foreign Wars (VFW). Romney praised the veterans for their incredible service to America. He also took the occasion to set forth his vision of Foreign Policy, and hammered Barack Obama for his policies that have made America weaker both home, and abroad.

Very strong speech by Romney. He went after Obama for putting his own political interests ahead of the nation, citing the National Security leaks from his administration to the media. Romney was greeted warmly by the VFW, and received repeated rounds of applause during his remarks.


.

TRANSCRIPT: Mitt Romney’s Remarks at VFW National Convention


delivered remarks at the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Reno, Nevada. The following is a transcript of the remarks as prepared for delivery:

“Thank you. Commander Richard DeNoyer, I appreciate the introduction, and I’m proud to see a combat veteran from Massachusetts serving as National Commander of the VFW.

Ladies Auxiliary President Gwen Rankin, incoming National Commander John Hamilton, incoming Ladies Auxiliary President Leanne Lemley, Adjutant General Allen “Gunner” Kent, Executive Director Bob Wallace, distinguished guests and members of the VFW: Thank you for your generous welcome.

I want to start today with a few words about the unimaginable tragedy in Colorado last week. We’ve since learned that among the victims were four people who had served – or were serving – our country in uniform. Today, our hearts go out to the families of John Larimer of the U.S. Navy; Rebecca Wingo, an Air Force veteran; Jesse Childress, an Army veteran and member of the Air Force reserve; and Jonathan Blunk, a Navy veteran who died shielding his girlfriend from the spray of bullets. The loss of four Americans who served our country only adds to the profound tragedy of that day. All Americans are grateful for their service and deeply saddened by their deaths. We mourn them and we will remember them.

The VFW is now over two million strong. It has a special place in America’s heart. Some of you fought recently, in Iraq or Afghanistan. Others are old enough to have marched, flown, or sailed by orders of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Whatever your age, whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, whenever you served – there’s one thing you have in common: You answered the call of your country in a time of war. From December 7th, 1941 to September 11, 2001, whenever America has been tested, you stepped forward. You come from our farms, our great cities, our small towns and quiet neighborhoods. Many of you have known violence so that your neighbors could only know peace. You have done more than protect America; your courage and service defines America. You are America at our best and it is an honor to address you.

Our veterans are part of a proud tradition that stretches back to the battlefields at Lexington and Concord – and now to places like Fallujah and Kandahar. Year after year, our men and women in uniform have added proud achievements to their record of service. And President Obama pointed to some of them yesterday in his speech.

Any time our military accomplishes a vital mission it is a proud moment for our nation. But we owe our veterans and our military more than just an accounting of our successes. They deserve a fair and frank assessment of the whole picture – of where we are and where we want to be. And when it comes to national security and foreign policy, as with our economy, the last few years have been a time of declining influence and missed opportunity.

Just consider some of the challenges I discussed at your last national convention:

Since then, has the American economy recovered?

Has our ability to shape world events been enhanced, or diminished?

Have we gained greater confidence among our allies, and greater respect from our adversaries?

And, perhaps most importantly, has the most severe security threat facing America and our friends, a nuclear-armed Iran, become more or less likely?

These clear measures are the ultimate tests of American leadership. And, by these standards, we haven’t seen much in the President’s first term that inspires confidence in a second.

The President’s policies have made it harder to recover from the deepest recession in seventy years … exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify … compromised our national-security secrets … and in dealings with other nations, given trust where it is not earned, insult where it is not deserved, and apology where it is not due.

From Berlin to Cairo to the United Nations, President Obama has shared his view of America and its place among nations. I have come here today to share mine.

I am an unapologetic believer in the greatness of this country. I am not ashamed of American power. I take pride that throughout history our power has brought justice where there was tyranny, peace where there was conflict, and hope where there was affliction and despair. I do not view America as just one more point on the strategic map, one more power to be balanced. I believe our country is the greatest force for good the world has ever known, and that our influence is needed as much now as ever. And I am guided by one overwhelming conviction and passion: This century must be an American Century.

In 1941, Henry Luce called on his countrymen – just then realizing their strength – “to create the first great American century.” And they succeeded: together with their allies, they won World War II, they rescued Europe, they defeated Communism, and America took its place as leader of the free world. Across the globe, they fought, they bled, they led. They showed the world the extraordinary courage of the American heart and the generosity of the American spirit.

That courage and generosity remains unchanged today. But sadly, this president has diminished American leadership, and we are reaping the consequences. The world is dangerous, destructive, chaotic. And the two men running to be your commander-in-chief must offer their answers to the challenges we face.

Like a watchman in the night, we must remain at our post – and keep guard of the freedom that defines and ennobles us, and our friends. In an American Century, we have the strongest economy and the strongest military in the world. In an American Century, we secure peace through our strength. And if by absolute necessity we must employ it, we must wield our strength with resolve. In an American Century, we lead the free world and the free world leads the entire world.

If we do not have the strength or vision to lead, then other powers will take our place, pulling history in a very different direction. A just and peaceful world depends on a strong and confident America. I pledge to you that if I become commander-in-chief, the United States of America will fulfill its duty, and its destiny.

American leadership depends, as it always has, on our economic strength, on our military strength, and on our moral strength. If any of these falter, no skill of diplomacy or presidential oratory can compensate. Today, the strength of our economy is in jeopardy.

A healthy American economy is what underwrites American power. When growth is missing, government revenue falls, social spending rises, and many in Washington look to cut defense spending as an easy out. That includes our current President.

Today, we are just months away from an arbitrary, across-the-board budget reduction that would saddle the military with a trillion dollars in cuts, severely shrink our force structure, and impair our ability to meet and deter threats. Don’t bother trying to find a serious military rationale behind any of this, unless that rationale is wishful thinking. Strategy is not driving President Obama’s massive defense cuts. In fact, his own Secretary of Defense warned that these reductions would be “devastating.” And he is right.

That devastation starts at home. These cuts would only weaken an already stretched VA system and impair our solemn commitment that every veteran receives care second to none. I will not allow that to happen.

This is not the time for the President’s radical cuts in the military. Look around the globe. Other major powers are rapidly adding to their military capabilities, some with intentions very different from ours. The regime in Tehran is drawing closer to developing a nuclear weapon. The threat of radical Islamic terrorism persists. The threat of weapons of mass destruction proliferation is ever-present. And we are still at war and still have uniformed men and women in conflict.

All this and more is ongoing in the world. And yet the President has chosen this moment for wholesale reductions in the nation’s military capacity. When the biggest announcement in his last State of the Union address on improving our military was that the Pentagon will start using more clean energy – then you know it’s time for a change.

We’re not the first people to observe this. It is reported that Bob Gates, the President’s first secretary of defense, bluntly addressed another security problem within this administration. After secret operational details of the bin Laden raid were given to reporters, Secretary Gates walked into the West Wing and told the Obama team to “shut up.” He added a colorful word for emphasis.

Lives of American servicemen and women are at stake. But astonishingly, the administration failed to change its ways. More top-secret operations were leaked, even some involving covert action in Iran.

This isn’t a partisan issue; it’s a national security crisis. And yesterday, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, quote, “I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks.”

This conduct is contemptible. It betrays our national interest. It compromises our men and women in the field. And it demands a full and prompt investigation by a special counsel, with explanation and consequence. Obama appointees, who are accountable to President Obama’s Attorney General, should not be responsible for investigating the leaks coming from the Obama White House.

Whoever provided classified information to the media, seeking political advantage for the administration, must be exposed, dismissed, and punished. The time for stonewalling is over.

It is not enough to say the matter is being looked into, and leave it at that. When the issue is the political use of highly sensitive national security information, it is unacceptable to say, “We’ll report our findings after Election Day.”

Exactly who in the White House betrayed these secrets? Did a superior authorize it? These are things that Americans are entitled to know – and they are entitled to know right now. If the President believes – as he said last week – that the buck stops with him, then he owes all Americans a full and prompt accounting of the facts.

And let me make this very clear: These events make the decision we face in November all the more important. What kind of White House would reveal classified material for political gain? I’ll tell you right now: Mine won’t.

The harm done when national security secrets are betrayed extends, of course, to the trust that allies place in the United States.

The operating principle of American foreign policy has been to work with our allies so that we can deter aggression before it breaks out into open conflict. That policy depends on nurturing our alliances and standing up for our common values.

Yet the President has moved in the opposite direction.

It began with the sudden abandonment of friends in Poland and the Czech Republic. They had courageously agreed to provide sites for our anti-missile systems, only to be told, at the last hour, that the agreement was off. As part of the so-called reset in policy, missile defenses were sacrificed as a unilateral concession to the Russian government.

If that gesture was designed to inspire good will from Russia, it clearly missed the mark. The Russian government defended the dictator in Damascus, arming him as he slaughtered the Syrian people.

We can only guess what Vladimir Putin makes of the Obama administration. He regained the Russian presidency in a corrupt election, and for that, he got a congratulatory call from the Oval Office. And then there was that exchange picked up by a microphone that President Obama didn’t know was on. We heard him asking Dmitry Medvedev to tell Mr. Putin to give him “space.” “This is my last election,” President Obama said, and “After my election I’ll have more flexibility.”

Why is flexibility with Russian leaders more important than transparency to the American people?

President Obama had a moment of candor, however, just the other day. He said that the actions of the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez have not had a serious national security impact on us. In my view, inviting Hezbollah into our hemisphere is severe, serious, and a threat.

But at least he was consistent. After all, this is the president who faltered when the Iranian people were looking for support in their struggle against the ayatollahs. That uprising was treated as an inconvenient problem for the President’s policy of engagement, instead of as a moral and strategic opportunity. That terrible misjudgment should never be repeated. When unarmed women and men in Tehran find the courage to confront their oppressors, at risk of torture and death, they should hear the unequivocal voice of an American president affirming their right to be free.

I will leave Reno this evening on a trip abroad that will take me to England, Poland, and Israel. And since I wouldn’t venture into another country to question American foreign policy, I will tell you right here – before I leave – what I think of this administration’s shabby treatment of one of our finest friends.

President Obama is fond of lecturing Israel’s leaders. He was even caught by a microphone deriding them. He has undermined their position, which was tough enough as it was. And even at the United Nations, to the enthusiastic applause of Israel’s enemies, he spoke as if our closest ally in the Middle East was the problem.

The people of Israel deserve better than what they have received from the leader of the free world. And the chorus of accusations, threats, and insults at the United Nations should never again include the voice of the President of the United States.

There are values, causes, and nations that depend on American strength, on the clarity of our purpose, and on the reliability of our commitments. There is work in this world that only America and our allies can do, hostile powers that only we can deter, and challenges that only we can overcome.

For the past decade, among those challenges has been the war in Afghanistan. As commander-in-chief, I will have a solemn duty to our men and women in uniform. A president owes our troops, their families, and the American people a clear explanation of our mission, and a commitment not to play politics with the decisions of war.

I have been critical of the President’s decision to withdraw the surge troops during the fighting season, against the advice of the commanders on the ground. President Obama would have you believe that anyone who disagrees with his decisions is arguing for endless war. But the route to more war – and to potential attacks here at home – is a politically timed retreat.

As president, my goal in Afghanistan will be to complete a successful transition to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014. I will evaluate conditions on the ground and solicit the best advice of our military commanders. And I will affirm that my duty is not to my political prospects, but to the security of the nation.

We face another continuing challenge in a rising China. China is attentive to the interests of its government – but it too often disregards the rights of its people. It is selective in the freedoms it allows; and, as with its one-child policy, it can be ruthless in crushing the freedoms it denies. In conducting trade with America, it permits flagrant patent and copyright violations … forestalls American businesses from competing in its market … and manipulates its currency to obtain unfair advantage. It is in our mutual interest for China to be a partner for a stable and secure world, and we welcome its participation in trade. But the cheating must finally be brought to a stop. President Obama hasn’t done it and won’t do it. I will.

We’ll need that same clarity of purpose and resolve in the Middle East. America cannot be neutral in the outcome there. We must clearly stand for the values of representative government, economic opportunity, and human rights. And we must stand against the extension of Iranian or jihadist influence.

Egypt is at the center of this historical drama. In many ways, it has the power to tip the balance in the Arab world toward freedom and modernity. As president, I will not only direct the billions in assistance we give to Egypt toward that goal, but I will also work with partner nations to place conditions on their assistance as well. Unifying our collective influence behind a common purpose will foster the development of a government that represents all Egyptians, maintains peace with Israel, and promotes peace throughout the region. The United States is willing to help Egypt support peace and prosperity, but we will not be complicit in oppression and instability.

There is no greater danger in the world today than the prospect of the ayatollahs in Tehran possessing nuclear weapons capability. Yet for all the talks and conferences, all of the extensions and assurances, can anyone say we are farther from this danger now than four years ago?

The same ayatollahs who each year mark a holiday by leading chants of “Death to America” are not going to be talked out of their pursuit of nuclear weapons. What’s needed is all the firmness, clarity, and moral courage that we and our allies can gather. Sanctions must be enforced without exception, cutting off the regime’s sources of wealth. Negotiations must secure full and unhindered access for inspections. As it is, the Iranian regime claims the right to enrich nuclear material for supposedly peaceful purposes. This claim is discredited by years of deception. A clear line must be drawn: There must be a full suspension of any enrichment, period.

And at every turn, Iran must know that the United States and our allies stand as one in these critical objectives. Only in this way can we successfully counter the catastrophic threat that Iran presents. I pledge to you and to all Americans that if I become commander-in-chief, I will use every means necessary to protect ourselves and the region, and to prevent the worst from happening while there is still time.

It is a mistake – and sometimes a tragic one – to think that firmness in American foreign policy can bring only tension or conflict. The surest path to danger is always weakness and indecision. In the end, it is resolve that moves events in our direction, and strength that keeps the peace.

I will not surrender America’s leadership in the world. We must have confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might.

This is very simple: if you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your President. You have that President today.

The 21st century can and must be an American Century. It began with terror, war, and economic calamity. It is our duty to steer it onto the path of freedom, peace, and prosperity.

Fewer members of the Greatest Generation are with us today – and they can’t hold the torch as high as they have in the past. We must now seize the torch they carried so gallantly and at such sacrifice. It is an eternal torch of decency, freedom and hope. It is not America’s torch alone. But it is America’s duty – and honor – to hold it high enough so that all the world can see its light.

Believe in America.

Thank you and God Bless the United States of America.”

Romney on Obama's Attack On Business Owners :“The Context is Worse Than the Quote” (Video)





LARRY KUDLOW: “Why do you think President Obama, what did he mean, if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build it, someone else made that happen? He claims it’s being taken out of context. What do you think it means? Do you think this is Obama anti-business, anti-entrepreneur? Or do you think maybe he has been treated unfairly?”

GOV. ROMNEY: “Well, just read the whole speech. I found the speech even more disconcerting than just that particular line. The context is worse than the quote. The context, he says, you know, you think you’ve been successful because you’re smart, but he says a lot of people are smart. You think you’ve been successful because you work hard, a lot of people work hard. This is an ideology which says hey, we’re all the same here, we ought to take from all and give to one another and that achievement, individual initiative and risk-taking and success are not to be rewarded as they have in the past. It’s a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy. We have always been a nation that has celebrated success of various kinds. The kid that gets the honor roll, the individual worker that gets a promotion, the person that gets a better job. And in fact, the person that builds a business. And by the way, if you have a business and you started it, you did build it. And you deserve credit for that. It was not built for you by government. And by the way, we pay for government. Government doesn’t come free. The people who begin enterprises, the people who work in enterprises, they’re the ones paying for government. So his whole philosophy is an upside-down philosophy that does not comport with the American experience. And if we want to get people working again–and that’s my priority–if we want to get people working again, we have to celebrate success and achievement and not demonize it and denigrate the people who have worked hard, who are smart, who have made the kinds of investments to build a brighter future.”

Mitt Romney: "This Election is About the Soul of America" -- The Government or the Individual






Speaking yesterday at a Town Hall Meeting in Bowling Green, Ohio, Mitt Romney framed the 2012 Election as a battle for the “Soul of America

.” By that Romney explained it is a battle over whether we will stay true to the Founders belief that our rights as individuals flow from “the Creator” or from “Government.” Will the freedom of the individual remain supreme, or will the role of Government as central in our society be the course we take.

“Barack Obama’s attempt to denigrate and diminish the achievement of the individual diminishes us all.” – Mitt Romney

VP Dick Cheney Says Mitt Romney Best Suited to Handle 9/11-Like Attack





Cheney says Mitt Romney is the ‘only’ man to make the country’s foreign policy decisions


Washington Post


WILSON, Wyo. — Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Republican fundraisers Thursday night that Mitt Romney is the “only” man who can make the right decisions in unexpected foreign policy crises. The presumptive 2012 Republican presidential nominee called Cheney a “great American leader” — and didn’t mention former President George W. Bush in a 20-minute speech to a country club reception.

Cheney said serving under four presidents taught him that a surprising international crisis is inevitable.


“When I think about the kind of individual I want in the Oval Office in that moment of crisis, who has to make those key decisions, some of them life-and-death decisions, some of them decisions as commander-in-chief, who has the responsibility for sending some of our young men and women into harm’s way, that man is Mitt Romney,” Cheney said to applause.


Donors gathered Thursday night under a tent next to the driving range at Teton Pines Country Club, a golfing community where Cheney has a home. After Cheney introduced him, Romney praised the former vice president as “a great American leader.”


Romney raised more than $4 million with Cheney, long a strong fundraiser in part because of his popularity among the conservative Republican base. The Cheney-sponsored events in this resort area near Yellowstone National Park represent a welcome endorsement for Romney, who is eager to win over more of the party’s base.

Cheney was hosting Romney at a private dinner at his Wyoming home after he posed for photos with Romney and the fundraisers who had flown from all over the country for the event. They were drawn either by Cheney or by the dramatic beauty of the mountains in this resort valley. New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, a national campaign finance co-chair, was in attendance, as were bundlers from Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma and New York, among other places.



Wild Thing's comment.............

I agree with Cheney. Obama is the worst and if we ever did have another 9-11 he would never go after the terrorists, he would rather invite them to the WH.

Unemployment Rate Dropped In Every State That Elected A Republican Governor In 2010





Unemployment Rate Dropped In Every State That Elected A Republican Governor In 2010

Breitbart

n 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in these Republican states is improving 50% faster than the national rate.

States with Republican Governors and the unemployment rate

Kansas - 6.9% to 6.1% = a decline of 0.8%

Maine - 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%

Michigan - 10.9% to 8.5% = a decline of 2.4%

New Mexico - 7.7% to 6.7% = a decline of 1.0%

Oklahoma - 6.2% to 4.8% = a decline of 1.4%

Pennsylvania - 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%

Tennessee - 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6%

Wisconsin - 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9%

Wyoming - 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1%

Alabama - 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9%

Georgia - 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2%

South Carolina - 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5%

South Dakota - 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7%

Florida - 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3%

Nevada - 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2%

Iowa - 6.1% to 5.1% = a decline of 1.0%

Ohio - 9.0% to 7.3% = a decline of 1.7%

On the other hand, the unemployment rate in states that elected Democrats in 2010 dropped, on average, as much as the national rate decline and, in some states such as New York, the unemployment rate has risen since January of 2011.

This is yet another example of how the so-called “blue state” model is not working.

I really like this and it is a great thing one can use to make a point with someone on the left. Not that they will listen but at least it is great ammo.

Weird that they do not have Texas listed,but maybe it is because Perry was running for re-election.

Awesome All West Discusses His ‘80 Communists in the House’ Claim





‘You Can Call it Communism, Progressivism, Socialism, Marxism, or Statism’: Rep. West Defends His ‘80 Communists in the House’ Claim


During a Fox July Fourth special featuring Rep. Allen West (R-FL) and political strategist Frank Luntz, an audience member asked the Florida congressman how he expects to heal the America political system when he says divisive and “absurd” things like there are “70 Communists in the House of Representatives.”

“I think one of the things that’s really ruined our politics is rhetoric,” said Aaron, the audience member. “And I think for a congressman to make the accusation that are 70 Communists in the House of Representatives is an absurd statement and it doesn’t really reflect the story you just told.”

Rep. West disagreed.

“But it does reflect the story I just told because it reflects a person that has studied political theory and ideology. I have a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees in political science, political theory, political ideology. And the thing is you have to be able to understand the two competing principles of philosophies of governance in this country,” Rep. West said.

He continued:

When you go back and you read the documents, the Declaration of Independence, the full declaration, the full Constitution, you’ll understand limited government, you’ll understand fiscal responsibility, you’ll understand individual sovereignty, free markets … strong national defense.

But there are people on the other side, and you can call them whatever you wish, you can call it Communism, Progressivism, Socialism, Marxism, or Statism …They believe in creating and expanding an entitlement or welfare state.

“And you can’t tell me that you’re not seeing that in the United States of America right now,” he added.


.

Wild Thing's comment............


Allen West understands and I love how he corrects people that try to make him soften on his stance.


If you refuse to see the communists, you won’t resist them, and that is perfect for them. That is their goal.

Donald Trump on Chief Justice Roberts: “His Decision Makes No Sense and He Knows It Doesn’t Make Sense”

Trump told Greta Van Susteren,

“Justice Roberts is a smart man and a smart man could not have made this decision. Because you look at his decision. It’s just fraught with ambiguities and inconsistencies and it doesn’t make sense. He knows it doesn’t make sense. He grasped at the tax concept so he could justify it… In this case everybody knew what was the right thing and he did the wrong thing.”

Great Mitt Romney ad!





“The Supreme Court may have made their decision. But the American people haven’t. . . Day One. Job One. Repeal ObamaCare.”

In a few months, Americans will cast their ballots and make a choice. Do we continue on a path of rising, out of control health care costs? Do we continue with massive tax increases to fund a new two trillion dollar program? Do we continue stifling our economy with a growing government that discourages hiring? Or do we chart a new course and change directions. The Supreme Court may have made their decision, but the American people haven't. Day one. Job one. Repeal Obamacare.

Gov. Bobby Jindal making the point that President Obama is simply unable to run on his record, and is therefore, trying to run against former President George W. Bush:

“Now all of a sudden he’s trying to run against President Bush, eight years too late for that. He’s offering the same old policies and now trying to divide us based on class lines, on race lines, on gender lines, and any lines to help him get re-elected, so, absolutely I think the American people aren’t better off.”

Fantastic Rep. Trey Gowdy a Hero and Warrior for Truth and America






After hours of feigned outrage and different maneuvers from Democrats to try and stop the contempt hearing, Rep. Trey Gowdy finally took his turn and passionately laid out the case for why there is no more time for AG Eric Holder, noting the proof that high level officials in the DOJ knew about gunwalking well before Brian Terry was murdered.

But then a few minutes later he spoke up again to address the calls to blame the Bush administration, saying that he’s for bringing anyone before the committee who knows about gunwalking because it’s wrong under any administration. But, he adds, none of that mitigates Holder’s responsibility to comply with a subpoena from Congress and to comply with the law.

Awesome Neil Cavuto Rips EC President for Saying U.S. Banks Created Europe’s Mess




Remember Who Magically Appears to Save Your Sorry Ass’: Cavuto Rips EC President for Saying U.S. Banks Created Europe’s Mess

Fox News Channel’s Neil Cavuto closed his 4.pm. show Tuesday with possibly the most epic cable news rant of the year, torching European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso for daring to blame the European economic crisis on North America.

“For god’s sake wake up and sniff your obviously spiked cappuccino,” Cavuto exclaimed while commenting in frustration on Barroso’s remarks during the G20 summit in Mexico Tuesday. “U.S. banks did not create your mess, you did. U.S. banks did not grant cradle-to-the-grave government protections that were unsustainable decades ago let alone today, you did. U.S. banks did not make austerity a foreign concept in Europe, you did. And U.S. banks didn’t force public workers to retire at age 52 or refuse to ask them to contribute so much as a single euro to their healthcare benefits, or their prescription drug benefits, or their ridiculously–unaffordable spousal and kid benefits, you did.

“You created the safety net and now you’re throwing us under the net? I don’t think so Peppe. We are many things in this country, but even our most gullible institutions aren’t half that stupid.”

Cavuto exploded after hearing Barroso’s remarks during a news conference on the first day of the G20 summit in Mexico Tuesday. When asked by a reporter why funds from North American governments should be used to help Europe, the Portuguese politician and European Commission President answered that there needs to be cooperation among the world’s governments, but noted that ”this crisis was not originated in Europe.”

“Since you mention North America, this crisis was originated in North America and many of our financial sector was contaminated by, how can I put it, unorthodox practices, from some sectors of the financial market,” Barroso said.

Cavuto would not have such remarks from “pathetic finger-pointing socialists.”

Mitt Romney: "Hope & Change" Obama now "Hoping to Change the Subject" from Disastrous Record (video)





Complete video today of Mitt Romney’s remarks at a Campaign Rally on his Bus Tour in Newark, Ohio. Romney gave a brief, but energetic speech that really is beginning to zero in on just a few key themes that can form the basis of his Fall stump speech. Romney is methodically turning his campaign into a call to action for Americans who want to reverse the disastrous European-style big Government, high taxes, deficit-spending paradigm. His call to take up the torch of Freedom from the Greatest Generation and preserve America for the future has a strong appeal. His optimism about the future of America if we return to the principles that made us great is simple but strong. After 3+ years of economic failure by Barack Obama, Americans are hungry for real hope and optimism that things can get better. Romney needs to keep hammering these themes.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s Victory Speech after Winning Recall Election by Wide Margin




.


Here is a statement issued tonight by Gov. Mitt Romney congratulating GOP Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on his huge victory tonight in the Recall Election mounted by the Democrats against him:


“I congratulate Scott Walker on his victory in Wisconsin. Governor Walker has demonstrated over the past year what sound fiscal policies can do to turn an economy around, and I believe that in November voters across the country will demonstrate that they want the same in Washington, D.C. Tonight’s results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin. Governor Walker has shown that citizens and taxpayers can fight back – and prevail – against the runaway government costs imposed by labor bosses. Tonight voters said ‘no’ to the tired, liberal ideas of yesterday, and ‘yes’ to fiscal responsibility and a new direction. I look forward to working with Governor Walker to help build a better, brighter future for all Americans.”

A Walker: Win Would Mean "Victory For Courage" To Take On Tough Issues





"I think it’s a sign there’s real concern, what I’ve seen over the weekend, which are voters who tell me they voted for my opponent or they tell me they’re Democrats, but in each case they tell me they’re voting for me now either because they like the courage I take on the tough problems or a number of them … tell me they don’t like the recall process. My guess is the president and his folks just want to shy away from that," Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) said to FOX News about the the recall election tomorrow.

"My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer. I knew for eight years as a county official, I saw the biggest barrier to protecting core services for our people and still protecting property taxpayers was out of control special interest," Walker said to FOX News' Neal Cavuto.

First Lady Nancy Reagan endorsed Mitt Romney




Weekly Standard

Washington Wire


Nancy Reagan endorsed Mitt Romney Thursday, after a private meeting over lemonade and cookies in Los Angeles.

The former first lady’s office put out a statement congratulating Mr. Romney on notching the 1,144 delegates necessary to become the GOP nominee. She said that her late husband, Ronald Reagan, would have approved of a Romney presidency.

Mitt Romney, with his wife Ann, met this afternoon in Los Angeles with former first lady Nancy Reagan to receive her endorsement. "Mitt and Ann Romney joined me at my home this afternoon for some lemonade and cookies and I offered my firm endorsement of his campaign for President,"


“Ronnie would have liked Gov. Romney’s business background and his strong principles, and I have to say, I do, too,” Mrs. Reagan said in the statement. “I believe Mitt Romney has the experience and leadership skills that our country so desperately needs, and I look forward to seeing him elected president in November.”

The progressives who attended Congressman Allen West’s town hall meeting managed to drop some choice questions on the good Congressman. One of the questions was about an alleged Article 15 hearing that he supposedly received in the Army- never mind the fact that West never received an Article 15 hearing before leaving the Army- West left the military with full honors and his pension.

West took a bit of an issue with the question, and posed one of his own to his detractors-

“If you guys want to go back and talk about what happened nine years ago to me, lets talk about the President doing blow.”

Rep. Paul Ryan To Obama Economic Adviser Austan Goolsbee on FOX News





Austan Goolsbee: This was a case where they (Bain) cancelled the pensions they drove the company into the ground. But the investors from Bain actually profited a great deal.


Chris Wallace (host): Let me follow up with Congressman Ryan because the Obama campaign says the point of Romney economics is to make money for Bain, to make money for their investors, even if all the workers get wiped out. And, in this particular case, in the steel mill in Kansas City the workers, that plant went bankrupt. 750 workers were laid off and Bain did make millions of dollars in profits.

Paul Ryan: You know what’s ironic about this, Chris? Mitt Romney was running the Olympics during this time. (Zing) He wasn’t even running Bain during the time period in question. (Zing) I think the individual, if I’m not mistaken who was running Bain is a big Obama contributor. (Zing) But, more to the point Chris. What Bain did was they used “private” capital to help struggling businesses. What President Obama is doing, is he’s gambling with taxpayer money (Zing) and giving money to corporate contributors, campaign contributors like Solyndra (Zing) and he’s losing taxpayer money. (Zing) So what we have in the Obama administration is this crony capitalism (Zing) this corporate welfare (Zing) where President Obama thinks it’s right to take taxpayer dollars to give to private companies and take bets on these private companies. (Zing) That’s wrong. What is right is a private sector where you have risk to capital. You put capital in businesses where they’re struggling or not to try to grow those businesses. Some succeed. Some don’t. On the net when Mitt Romney ran Bain they were very successful. They created thousands of jobs. (Zing) Great success stories. (Zing) But more to the point. We don’t think that government should be in the position of picking winners and losers in the economy which is the result of the president’s economics. ( K-POW!!!)

Sen. Marco Rubio telling the South Carolina GOP Convention about President Barack Obama: “We have not seen such a divisive figure in modern American History.” He slammed Obama for having no intention on running on his failed record, but instead following a strategy of dividing America – Rich vs. Poor, Women vs. Men. Rubio said Obama’s strategy goes against the very heart of what has made America exceptional. The idea that someone else has to do worse for you to do better “is not who we have been,” Rubio said.

Gov. Rick Perry: If Mitt Romney Doesn’t Win the Election, America Will Be on the Brink of Bankruptcy

Governor Rick Perry, someone who knows what it takes to create 1.2 million jobs, weighed in on today’s Your World.

He told Neil Cavuto that “it’s not rocket science,” describing that small businesses don’t need big government telling them how to run everything.
When it comes to supporting Mitt Romney for the presidency, he is on board, saying, “I’m a heck of a lot more comfortable with him than I am Barack Obama.” Perry added that in the 2012 election it’s going to come down to the economy. “Mitt Romney has to win this election in November of 2012, or our country truly is going to be on the verge of bankruptcy and international affairs, that I suggest to you, none of us are going to like.”

Texas Governor Rick Perry Endorses Mitt Romney




Texas Governor Rick Perry Endorses Mitt Romney

After previously endorsing Newt Gingrich in the presidential race, Texas Governor Rick Perry threw his support behind Mitt Romney.

“Mitt Romney has earned the Republican Presidential nomination through hard-work, a strong organization, and disciplined message of restoring America after nearly four years of failed job-killing policies from President Obama and his administration. So today I join the many conservative Republicans across the nation in endorsing Mitt Romney for President and pledge to him, my constituents and the Republican Party than I will continue to work hard to help defeat President Obama. American jobs, economic stability and national security depend on electing a new president. Mitt ‘s vision and record of private sector success will put America back on the path of job creation, economic opportunity and limited government.”




.


Wild Thing's comment..........

My very favorite. I cried when I did this post and had to get one of Perry's photos from the campaign. I miss him, but I will always support him as Gov. and whatever his future holds.


Perry will always be my Hero. He has the most class, dignity, high character, I could go on and on. No one, there is NO one that can even come close to the kind of man he is.

I will add also that of all the candidates that have been in this race, Romney also has class and dignity. He has learned a lot along the way imo and I just keep praying his move more and more to conservative keeps happening. He has a beautiful family and one we can be proud of in our WH. Unlike the thugs Michelle and Barack the socialists that are in their now. They are a total disgrace to our Nation.


And that sicko Santorum still has not endorsed and he is the one that went on and on and on about what a great Christian he is, he is a phony!!!!


I have zero respect for Santorm and next I have less respect for Newt as well. Both of these men, Samtorum and Newt showed how much this whole campaign was more about them then about America.

Mitt Romney Wins Five Primaries in Northeast and Gives Great Speech



.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



Here is most of the transcript of his speech:

For every single mom who feels heartbroken when she has to explain to her kids that she needs to take a second job … for grandparents who can’t afford the gas to visit their grandchildren … for the mom and dad who never thought they’d be on food stamps … for the small business owner desperately cutting back just to keep the doors open one more month – to all of the thousands of good and decent Americans I’ve met who want nothing more than a better chance, a fighting chance, to all of you, I have a simple message: Hold on a little longer. A better America begins tonight.


Tonight is the beginning of the end of the disappointments of the Obama years and the start of a new and better chapter that we will write together.


And I’ll tell you a little bit about myself. I’ll probably start out talking about my wonderful wife Ann – I usually do – and I’ll probably bore you with stories about our kids and grandkids. I’ll tell you about how much I love this country, where someone like my dad, who grew up poor and never graduated from college, could pursue his dreams and work his way up to running a great car company. Only in America could a man like my dad become governor of the state in which he once sold paint from the trunk of his car.


I know how to lead us out of this stagnant Obama economy and into a job-creating recovery!


Four years ago Barack Obama dazzled us in front of Greek columns with sweeping promises of hope and change. But after we came down to earth, after the celebration and parades, what do we have to show for three and a half years of President Obama?

Is it easier to make ends meet? Is it easier to sell your home or buy a new one? Have you saved what you needed for retirement? Are you making more in your job? Do you have a better chance to get a better job? Do you pay less at the pump?

If the answer were “yes” to those questions, then President Obama would be running for re-election based on his achievements…and rightly so. But because he has failed, he will run a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions. That kind of campaign may have worked at another place and in a different time. But not here and not now. It’s still about the economy …and we’re not stupid.


People are hurting in America. And we know that something is wrong, terribly wrong with the direction of the country.


Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it cannot take, and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy. With Obamacare fully installed, government will come to control half the economy, and we will have effectively ceased to be a free enterprise society.

This President is putting us on a path where our lives will be ruled by bureaucrats and boards, commissions and czars. He’s asking us to accept that Washington knows best – and can provide all.

We’ve already seen where this path leads. It erodes freedom. It deadens the entrepreneurial spirit. And it hurts the very people it’s supposed to help. Those who promise to spread the wealth around only ever succeed in spreading poverty. Other nations have chosen that path. It leads to chronic high unemployment, crushing debt, and stagnant wages.

I have a very different vision for America, and of our future. It is an America driven by freedom, where free people, pursuing happiness in their own unique ways, create free enterprises that employ more and more Americans. Because there are so many enterprises that are succeeding, the competition for hard-working, educated and skilled employees is intense, and so wages and salaries rise.


I see an America with a growing middle class, with rising standards of living. I see children even more successful than their parents – some successful even beyond their wildest dreams – and others congratulating them for their achievement, not attacking them for it.

This America is fundamentally fair. We will stop the unfairness of urban children being denied access to the good schools of their choice; we will stop the unfairness of politicians giving taxpayer money to their friends’ businesses; we will stop the unfairness of requiring union workers to contribute to politicians not of their choosing; we will stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the taxpayers they serve; and we will stop the unfairness of one generation passing larger and larger debts on to the next.

In the America I see, character and choices matter. And education, hard work, and living within our means are valued and rewarded. And poverty will be defeated, not with a government check, but with respect and achievement that is taught by parents, learned in school, and practiced in the workplace.

This is the America that was won for us by the nation’s Founders, and earned for us by the Greatest Generation. It is the America that has produced the most innovative, most productive, and the most powerful economy in the world.

As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart. This does not have to be. It is the result of failed leadership and of a faulty vision. We will restore the promise of America only if we restore the principles of freedom and opportunity that made America the greatest nation on earth.

Today, the hill before us is a little steep but we have always been a nation of big steppers. Many Americans have given up on this President but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America.

In the days ahead, join me in the next step toward that destination of November 6th, when across America we can give a sigh of relief and know that the Promise of America has been kept. The dreamers can dream a little bigger, the help wanted signs can be dusted off, and we can start again.

And this time we’ll get it right. We’ll stop the days of apologizing for success at home and never again apologize for America abroad.

There was a time – not so long ago – when each of us could walk a little taller and stand a little straighter because we had a gift that no one else in the world shared. We were Americans. That meant something different to each of us but it meant something special to all of us. We knew it without question. And so did the world.

Those days are coming back. That’s our destiny.

We believe in America. We believe in ourselves. Our greatest days are still ahead. We are, after all, Americans!

God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Michael Reagan: "Obama Lying About My Father" ~ He Sure Is!






saying President Barack Obama is “lying about my father to try and pass his piece of legislation.” Reagan said Obama is trying to “dress himself up as Ronald Reagan,” even though he is not doing what Reagan did.

Reagan was trying to close loopholes for the wealthy, but actually lower tax rates for all income levels – not raise the tax rate on the wealthy. Obama is trying to raise tax rates on the very people who have the capital to start businesses and create jobs.

Michael Reagan also said his father “would be applauding” the Paul Ryan budget plan.



Wild Thing's comment.........

I am so glad Michael spoke up. It is sickening and make me angry when Obama keeps using Ronald Reagan the way he does.

Mitt Romney Speaks About Obama's Horrible Energy Policy






This is a video of Mitt Romney where he described the “very different path” he represents for the country compared to Barack Obama. Romney went after Obama for his cronyism, and mocked his “all of the above” energy policy as meaning only for what is “above ground – wind and solar,” but not for coal, oil, and natural gas. Romney said he is genuinely for “all of the above” to make America energy independent.

CNBC - Rick Santelli - Taxing the Rich will not Offset the Deficit








On CNBC’s broadcast of “Squawk on the Street,” CME Group floor reporter Rick Santelli went through the numbers and explained why President Barack Obama’s so-called “Buffett rule” would do little to remedy federal deficit woes.

Santelli projected new government revenue that would be earned by imposing the rule, taking the number of millionaires and billionaires and applying the tax hike to their earnings.

At the end of the scenario, even with the rosiest projection of the number of millionaires and billionaires used, the new revenue falls significantly short of correcting the deficits the government is accumulating, according to Santelli.

“If you look at total public debt held, it has increased $792 billion in this time to a grand total of $15.6 trillion,” Santelli said. “You see what the problem is? We can bash people. We can drag people that used to be called successful and drag them down. But is it going to cure a problem? No. We cannot collect enough taxes to catch up with spending. Do I know a solution? Not really. Does your politicians know a solution? Does our commander-in-chief offer a solution? Absolutely not.”


Santelli added that he wasn’t clear on how making people pay their so-called “fair share” would result in better opportunities for his children.


“I have solutions but you know what? It will take a long time to go there,” he said. “People don’t really want to hear solutions. They want to change the dialogue, bait and switch so we get more worried about what people pay, what’s fair. How are my kids’ opportunities affected by how many millionaires there are? I don’t see that opportunities are affected. You know what I see will affect their opportunity? $15.6 Trillion.”

Scalia Likens Reading Obamacare to Cruel and Unusual Punishment ~ I LOVE this Judge and I agree!!!




Scalia Likens Reading Obamacare to Cruel and Unusual Punishment

The Washington Free Beacon

Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia humorously invoked the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids cruel and unusual punishments, when discussing the Obamacare legislation during oral argument today at the Supreme Court.

JUSTICE SCALIA: Mr. Kneedler, what happened to the Eighth Amendment? You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?

(Laughter.)

JUSTICE SCALIA: And do you really expect the Court to do that? Or do you expect us to — to give this function to our law clerks?

Is this not totally unrealistic? That we are going to go through this enormous bill item by item and decide each one?

MR. KNEEDLER: Well -



Wild Thing's comment.........

LOL I LOVE how Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia put it.

I think it was last year, on 60 Minutes the tv show, they did a segment on Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia and it was really interesting. He is a really good man and he talked about how he was past his retirement time, but did not want to retire because he loved what he does too much. I think I posted about it last year.

Sen. Marco Rubio Endorses Mitt Romney ~ This is a HUGE Endorsement for Mitt Romney




Sen. Marco Rubio last night on “Hannity” publicly endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney for President.

Rubio argued that both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have now admitted that the only way they can win the GOP Nomination is by denying Romney a majority at the end of the primary season and “having a floor fight in Tampa.” Rubio said there is no way that a “floor fight in Tampa in August” is a “recipe for victory.” Instead, Rubio called that a “recipe for disaster,” and a “recipe to deliver four more years to Barack Obama.”

“I am going to endorse Mitt Romney. The reason why is not only because he’s going to be the Republican Nominee, but he also offers at this point such a stark contrast to the President’s record. . .”


Wild Thing's comment.........

Congratulations oto Mitt Romney, I am so glad Marco did this. I would have been very disppoionted if he had endorsed the others that are left in the race.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney had a heart transplant Saturday






FOX News


Former GOP Vice President Dick Cheney is recovering from heart transplant surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Northern Virginia, a spokeswoman said Saturday evening.

In 2010, Cheney had a left ventricular assist device implanted for treatment of end-stage heart failure. The former vice president has been on the cardiac transplant list for more than 20 months.

Though he and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift, the spokeswoman also said.

Cheney, who is in intensive care, expressed his thanks to the teams of doctors and other medical professionals at Inova Fairfax and at George Washington University Hospital, where he also has been treated, for their "continued outstanding care.


Cheney, 71, served under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. He has a long history of cardio-vascular disease, having had five heart attacks since age 37.

Cheney was born in Lincoln, Neb., and served in the Nixon, then the Ford administration, for which he was chief of staff. He was elected to the House in 1978 as a Wyoming congressman and won reelected five times.

Cheney was secretary of Defense under much of George H.W. Bush’s administration, overseeing Operation Desert Storm. He was also chief executive officer for the Halliburton Co. from 1995 to 2000.

Cheney has remained a strong voice in the Republican party and has been an outspoken critic of President Obama.

He has undergone several bypass surgeries and other procedures, including the one two years ago. Cheney also had a mild heart attack in June 2010.

More than 3,100 Americans currently are on the national waiting list for a heart transplant. Just over 2,300 heart transplants were performed last year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. And 330 people died while waiting.

The group also reports 332 people over age 65 received a heart transplant last year.

The majority of transplants occur in 50- to 64-year-olds.

More than 70 percent of heart transplant recipients live at least five years, although survival is a bit lower for people over age 65.

Prayers for Dick Cheney and a speedy recovery and for his family.

Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania: Republicans Can Trust Romney to Govern as a Conservative


Toomey: Republicans Can Trust Romney to Govern as a Conservative

National Journal


HARRISBURG, Pa.--Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who has said he won't endorse anyone in the Republican presidential race, on Friday praised front-runner Mitt Romney as a true conservative whom Republicans can trust as their nominee.

“I think Mitt Romney is a conservative, and I think if elected, he’ll govern as a conservative,” Toomey told reporters during a press conference at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, an annual gathering of conservative activists in the Keystone State.


“I think Governor Romney is absolutely committed to the principles of limited government,” Toomey said. “I think he knows the free-enterprise system is a source of prosperity and opportunity and personal fulfillment, and elevating people out of poverty. He’s been a practitioner, so he understands from a very concrete sense how markets work and create opportunities.”


Toomey's remarks came during a week in which prominent Republicans have been urging their party to unite behind a presidential candidate. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush endorsed Romney on Wednesday. On Thursday, Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina--like Toomey--praised Romney without endorsing him.

The praise from DeMint and Toomey is significant because of their standing with parts of the GOP base. DeMint is a leading tea party figure, and Toomey is a former president of the antitax Club For Growth.

As he has previously, Toomey declined to explicitly declare his preference for Romney. But he made it clear that he thinks highly of the former Massachusetts governor and would be satisfied with him as the nominee.


Wild Thing's comment...........

I think more and more people will see how bad Santorum truly is and not what we need to be President. Also the same with Newt. Romney has little by little been getting more conservative, Not anywhere close to what Gov. Perry is or my Gov. Scott here in Florida. But at least he is moving to the right like Ronald Reagan did so there is hope at least.

Mitt Romney Wins Puerto Rico!!!! Congratulations!




Romney sweeps Puerto Rico primary contest

In order to vote in the GOP presidential primary in Puerto Rico, voters must sign a "Republican Party of Puerto Rico Affiliation Form" pledging commitment to the ideological principles of the Party.


Romney’s campaign was endorsed by just about every prominent Republican on the Spanish-speaking island, and Santorum angered many Puerto Ricans with comments last week that they needed to make English their primary language if they wanted to pursue statehood.

“You can’t impose English on people. My sense is that he (Santorum) was very poorly advised or he would not have said what he said,” Ana Lydia Porrata-Doria, 69, who voted for Romney, told Reuters.


Puerto Ricans, who recognize both English and Spanish as their official languages, will vote in November in a statehood referendum.

With Puerto Rico's unemployment rate running at 15.1 percent, many voters said they supported Romney because they believed he was best positioned among the Republican candidates to deliver on pledges about job creation on the island.

Puerto Rico, about 1,200 miles from the U.S. mainland, has about 3.8 million people. Its population can vote in partisan primaries but not in presidential elections. Puerto Ricans within the United States have the same voting rights as other U.S. citizens.



Wild Thing's comment.........

I am glad they voted for Romney. Santorum was absolutely horrible to them and should have known better or perhaps he was just being himself and he is the jerk he comes off as most of the time anyway. LOL Sorry to anyone that likes Santorum, but my gosh he is in no way presidential imo and keeps having to backtrack on things he says so much of the time.

Our troops need more support from Washington and Governor Romney will ensure that they have the resources they need to defend this country. I am proud to be joining Governor Romney's campaign. On national security issues, the Governor has distinguished himself as a true leader ready to invest in our national defense." ”

"Major General James Marks Retired From Active Duty In October 2004 After More Than 30 Years Of Service To Our Country. A graduate of the United States Military Academy, General Marks has more than three decades of experience in the Intelligence field. During his career, he held command and staff assignments from infantry platoon leader and infantry company commander in the 101st Airborne Division to senior intelligence officer for the Coalition Land Forces during combat operations in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

.

“Brigadier General Mikolajcik said, "Governor Romney's record on veterans' issues is very strong. He firmly believes that the commitment to our troops doesn't end when their service is finished and that we must take care of those who have sacrificed to protect us. I look forward to telling my fellow veterans in South Carolina of his plans to keep America secure." ”


"Brigadier General Thomas R. Mikolajcik Is An Air Force Academy Graduate With 27 Years Of Military Service. General Mikolajcik served in the Air Force as a pilot, staff officer and held numerous command positions.

He also held numerous staff positions, culminating as Comptroller of the United States Air Force in 1986. General Watts was named the 17th President of The Citadel in 1989 and served in that position until his retirement in 1996."

“Romney best suited for commander-in-chief...

“Gov. Romney is the only candidate to offer a detailed plan to restore our military and provide the weapons and equipment our troops need to win wars decisively and come home safely. He will reverse President Obama’s dramatic defense cuts and increase our naval shipbuilding rate. Rather than reducing the defense budget, he will reduce the duplication of efforts and apply those savings to strengthening our military posture. And he will restore as a top priority the deployment of a multilayered national ballistic-missile defense system.”

“Mitt Romney has been a strong advocate for veterans and will work to ensure that those who have heroically sacrificed for our country receive the care that they deserve,” said Lt. General Bud Watts, former President of the Citadel. “We need a Commander-in-Chief who will support our veterans and troops, strengthen our military, and strengthen our national defense. Mitt Romney believes in America and in the founding principles that make our country great, and he is the kind of steadfast leader we need during these challenging times.”




.

Mitt Romney on ............MILITARY AND VETRANS BENEFITS:

“In February 2005, Romney filed legislation to increase benefits for Massachusetts National Guard members. Working with the state legislature, Romney developed the "Welcome Home Bill" which provides guardsman with reduced life-insurance premiums and free tuition and fees at Massachusetts universities and community colleges. The bill also increases daily state active-duty pay rate from $75 to $100, and increases the death benefit paid to families of Guard members killed in the line of duty from $5,000 to $100,000. Additionally, the "Welcome Home Bill" creates a $1,000 bonus for Guardsman and reservists called to active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan since the September 11, 2001 attacks and a $500 bonus for those who were activated for duty elsewhere. The legislation provides a $2,000 benefit for Gold Star spouses and increases the Gold Star parents' benefit from $1,500 to $2,000.

“High school diplomas will also be granted to veterans who dropped out to enlist in World War II, Korea or Vietnam wars. Romney signed the bill into law on Veterans Day 2005.

“In a November 3, 2006 press release, Romney stated that the account that funds the insurance benefits created in the "Welcome Home Bill" faced a deficit of $64,000. The Massachusetts legislature was out of session at the time of the shortfall. According to the press release, Romney transferred money from the governor's office budget to cover the deficit.

“Working with the legislature, Romney developed legislation to provide tax exemptions to disabled veterans and benefits to families of fallen and missing soldiers. Romney signed the Massachusetts Military Enhanced Relief Individual Tax (MERIT) Plan into law on August 14, 2006. The bill increases property tax exemptions for disabled veterans and grants spouses of veterans killed or missing in action since September 11, 2001 full property tax exemptions for five years. After five years the spouses receive an annual $2,500 exemption under the legislation.

“Romney was also the first governor in Massachusetts history to appoint a secretary of veteran's affairs to his cabinet.

“Romney's efforts to assist Massachusetts servicemen were recognized by the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, which presented him with the Pro Patria Award and the 2006 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.




Mitt Romney: Grow military spending, build new ships, planes - Oct 6, 2011


“HILLSDALE, Mich. - In a speech to Hillsdale College graduates yesterday about confronting a world filled with evil, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said America should combat radical Islam by bulking up its military.

“ "There is no safe place if evil is unrestrained," the former Massachusetts governor said during his address at the campus 80 miles northwest of Toledo.

“ "The weak may hide, but they become weaker still, until at last they are discovered and easily conquered. History teaches us this: The best ally of peace is a strong America."

“Mr. Romney proposed adding 100,000 troops and keeping defense spending at 4 percent or more of America's gross domestic product, a remark that garnered applause from the families and friends of Hillsdale's 306 listed graduates. With $580 billion projected to cover the U.S. military and Iraq war this year, defense spending already is above the 4 percent mark.”

Andrew Breitbart Patriot Warrior Dead at 43 ~ Shock To All That Love Him and America




An emotional Jonah Goldberg, a close friend of Breitbart’s, joined America’s Newsroom to react to the loss. He explained that they’d known each other for a dozen years from when they were among the first people developing conservative web c...ontent. Goldberg said, “He was one of the most fearless people I ever knew. It’s hard news to take.”

“He truly loved the fight … One of his favorite pastimes was to retweet all of the hate that people threw at him because he considered it a badge of honor.”


.

FOX News


Widely read conservative Internet publisher Andrew Breitbart, whose flare for battle with politicians and the mainstream media earned him a reputation as one of the nation's most influential commentators, died Thursday.

The websites he founded ran a statement Thursday morning announcing that Breitbart, 43, died "unexpectedly from natural causes" in Los Angeles shortly after midnight. His attorney and editor-in-chief of those sites confirmed his death to Fox News.

"We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior," the statement said. "Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love."


The statement on his sites quoted the concluding passage from his book, Righteous Indignation.

"I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and -- famously -- I enjoy making enemies. Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I've lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I've gained hundreds, thousands -- who knows? -- of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night," Breitbart wrote.


The statement ended: "Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us."


Breitbart was walking near his house in the Brentwood neighborhood shortly after midnight Thursday when he collapsed, his father-in-law Orson Bean said.


Someone saw him fall and called paramedics, who tried to revive him. They rushed him to the emergency room at UCLA Medical Center, Bean said. Breitbart had suffered heart problems a year earlier, but Bean said he could not pinpoint what happened.


"I don't know what to say. It's devastating," Bean told The Associated Press.

Those who knew and worked with him described Breitbart almost uniformly as "fearless," sharply intelligent, witty and devoted to his work.

"He was the modern conservative iteration of a 1960's radical," conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg told Fox News, minutes after Breitbart's death was reported.

"When I say he was the most fearless guy I ever knew, it really is true. I mean, he truly loved the fight," he said.

Breitbart considered his charge to expose corruption, hypocrisy and media bias, and leveraged his network of websites to reach for that goal.

He was on the forefront of reporting several controversies, notably the salacious tweets former Rep. Anthony Weiner had sent to young women before his resignation.

Breitbart became embroiled in a controversy of his own, though, for his reporting on a web video of Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod. The edited video appeared to show Sherrod making a racist comment, but the full tape later put the remark in context and made clear that Sherrod was actually talking about bridging racial differences. Sherrod was fired after the edited video surfaced, and later filed suit against Breitbart.

Breitbart, though, went on to report on one of the biggest congressional scandals of 2011 -- the tweets sent by Weiner to young women he met online. The former New York congressman, who is married, adamantly denied the reports at first, before admitting to them in a tearful press conference and resigning.

One of Breitbart's most memorable moments came when he commandeered the podium before Weiner's final New York conference, holding court with reporters and demanding an apology from Weiner -- while Weiner waited to attend his own press conference.

Goldberg recalled how one of Breitbart's favorite pastimes was to retweet the nasty things other people said about him. "He considered it a badge of honor," Goldberg said.

Breitbart's final tweet, posted shortly before he was reported to have died, typified the combative and blunt tone he took with his online debaters. "I called you a putz cause I thought you were being intentionally disingenuous. If not I apologize," he wrote to the individual he had been arguing with.

News of Breitbart's death reverberated on Capitol Hill and on the presidential campaign trail. Rick Santorum said he was "crestfallen."

"What a powerful force," Santorum said. "What a huge loss, in my opinion, for our country and certainly for the conservative movement."

Breitbart is survived by his wife Susannah Bean Breitbart, 41, and four children.

RINO Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe Won’t Seek Reelection



Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe Won’t Seek Reelection

Three-term Senator Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) issued the following statement today with regard to her re-election campaign:

“After an extraordinary amount of reflection and consideration, I am announcing today that I will not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate.

“After 33 years in the Congress this was not an easy decision. My husband and I are in good health. We have laid an exceptionally strong foundation for the campaign, and I have no doubt I would have won re-election. It has been an indescribable honor and immeasurable privilege to serve the people of Maine, first in both houses of Maine’s legislature and later in both houses of Congress. To this day, I remain deeply passionate about public service, and I cherish the opportunity I have been given for nearly four decades to help improve the lives of my fellow Mainers.

“As I have long said, what motivates me is producing results for those who have entrusted me to be their voice and their champion, and I am filled with that same sense of responsibility today as I was on my first day in the Maine House of Representatives. I do find it frustrating, however, that an atmosphere of polarization and ‘my way or the highway’ ideologies has become pervasive in campaigns and in our governing institutions.

“With my Spartan ancestry I am a fighter at heart; and I am well prepared for the electoral battle, so that is not the issue. However, what I have had to consider is how productive an additional term would be. Unfortunately, I do not realistically expect the partisanship of recent years in the Senate to change over the short term. So at this stage of my tenure in public service, I have concluded that I am not prepared to commit myself to an additional six years in the Senate, which is what a fourth term would entail.

“As I enter a new chapter, I see a vital need for the political center in order for our democracy to flourish and to find solutions that unite rather than divide us. It is time for change in the way we govern, and I believe there are unique opportunities to build support for that change from outside the United States Senate. I intend to help give voice to my fellow citizens who believe, as I do, that we must return to an era of civility in government driven by a common purpose to fulfill the promise that is unique to America.

“In the meantime, as I complete my third term, I look forward to continuing to fight for the people of Maine and the future of our nation. And I will be forever and unyieldingly grateful for the trust that the people of Maine have placed in me, and for the phenomenal friendship and assistance I have received over the years from my colleagues, my supporters, and my staff, both in Maine and in Washington.” Senator Snowe will be scheduling a news conference in Portland, Maine, in order to further discuss her decision when she returns to her home state on Friday.

Mitt Romney's Search For Melissa ~ A Must Read If You Are A Voter



Mitt’s Search For Melissa

Editor's Note: This is an update to the story we originally ran last year about Mitt Romney's involvement in the search for 14-year old Melissa Gay, the daughter of his colleague, Robert Gay.

An Excerpt from “Romney to the Rescue,” by Ronald Kessler (NewsMax Magazine)


Mitt Romney was faced with a crisis in July 1996. The 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner in Romney’s new venture capital firm, Bain Capital, had disappeared. As it turned out, she had attended a rave party in New York City and had become high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was.

Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to try to find Gay’s daughter.

Romney set up a command center in a conference room at the LaGuardia Marriott just outside Manhattan. He hired a private detective firm to assist with the search and established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the New York City Police Department, but he still wasn’t satisfied. He raced through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York. He asked them to help his company find their friend’s missing daughter.

The company’s accounting firm, Price-Waterhouse Cooper, and its law firm, put up posters on street poles with a photo of the missing teenager. Cashiers at Duane Reade Pharmacies, which was owned by Bain Capital, put fliers in the bag of each shopper.

Romney and others from the Bain Capital posse trudged through every part of New York, even scouring Central Park, and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone who may have seen her. They also made rounds at the local nightclubs at 3 a.m., hoping someone somewhere could identify her.

The same day the Romney team came to New York, the hunt made the evening news. Television cameras showed photos of the girl and video of investment banker types prowling through Central Park.

The next day, a teenage boy she was with phoned in. He asked if there was a reward. But the boy got nervous and quickly hung up. Luckily, the police traced the call to a home in Montville Township, N.J.

Gay’s daughter, when they found her in the basement of that home, was shivering through detox after a massive dose of ecstasy. Doctors later told Gay that he was indeed fortunate – his daughter probably would not have lasted another day.

“It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die,” Gay says, adding of Romney’s intervention, “I’m not sure we would have gotten her back without him.”

It is often during a crisis that we gain insight into a person’s real character. Romney’s action demonstrated leadership, loyalty, and selflessness – attributes that Americans just might like to see in a president of the United States.

More from newsmax.....

People say that Mitt Romney lights up a room. But there are all kinds of ways to light up a room - fluorescent, neon, sunlight, strobe. Romney alternates between sparkle and a warm, steady glow. He is not in your face. He is low-key, self-assured, and self-contained, with a sunny, positive disposition. On his desk he has a desk plate that states "America Is Never Stuck."

Sounding like a television character from the 1950s, he is not self-conscious about saying "gosh" or "my goodness."

Wild Thing's comment........

This stroy impressed me about Romney and I thought you might like to read it as well. The way he handled the situation about the man's daughter speaks volumes about Romney's character.

Good For Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval




CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Don't mistake Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's invitations to the Republican presidential contenders as anything more than a hospitable gesture. The governor is staying out of the nomination fight despite his rising stature in the GOP – or perhaps because of it.

Sandoval has invited the candidates to his office this week as they campaign ahead of Saturday's caucuses. If they make the trip to Carson City, the four – Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum – can count on a smile and a firm handshake but no public stamp of approval.

"There isn't a candidate that wouldn't love to have his support, that's for sure," said Bob List, state Republican committeeman and a former Nevada governor who endorsed Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Sandoval was quick to endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry in this year's presidential race, only to see him drop out last month after dismal showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Now, Sandoval is pledging his "full support" to whomever wins the party nomination. And he has recorded an automated phone message urging Nevada Republicans to vote in the caucuses – for any of the candidates.


.


Wild Thing's comment........

Gov. Sandoval had endorsed Rick Perry for President back in September. He has chosen not to endorse anyone that is left in the campaign. Good for himl, Our Gov. Rick Scott did no tendorse anyone either and I was glad. Gov. Scott is friends with Perry so I iimagine after Perry got out of the race Gov. Scott probably thought it better not to endorse anyone. Maybe the same thing with Nevada Gov. Sandoval.

"I will not stand back and watch anyone defame, degrade or destroy that which my father fought for." Allen West at the Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach for the Palm Beach County GOP blasts the liberal left. This is just awesome.


We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table," West said.

"Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America"

Awesome Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) Delivered the Republican Weekly Address



Here’s the transcript:

“Hello, I’m Marco Rubio, a Senator from Florida. Right now all eyes are focused on my home state ahead of next week’s Republican presidential primary. It’s an exciting contest and I know that passions are high. So I wanted to take a moment to explain to the rest of the country why Republicans in Florida are so excited about this primary: Because we believe our country is in big trouble.

“As you know, earlier this week, President Obama delivered his fourth annual address to Congress. It was an opportunity for the President to talk about his accomplishments over the last three years and to lay out his plans for the year ahead.

“And he missed on both counts.

“You didn’t hear much talk about the success of his Administration—and that’s because there isn’t much.

“Yes, this President inherited a significant national debt, but over the last three years he’s made it worse. Our national debt has grown by nearly 50 percent since he took over, and now, for the first time since World War II, our national debt is larger than our country’s economy.

“Yes, this President inherited an economy where unemployment was too high, but over the last three years he’s made it worse. Today our unemployment rate is higher than the day he took office. In fact, since he took over, it’s been stuck over 8 percent every single month.

“This President didn’t talk about his record for one simple reason; he doesn’t want you to know about it. But you do know about it, because you feel the failure of his leadership every single day of your life.

“The bottom line is this President inherited a country with serious problems. He asked the Congress to give him the stimulus and Obamacare to fix it. The Democrats in Congress gave it to him. And not only did it not work, it made everything worse.

“President Obama has a year left in the White House. So what are his plans now to make things better? What does he plan to do now, that he didn’t do before? Well we got our answer Tuesday night. He plans to divide us against each other. To pit Americans against other Americans in the hopes of generating enough votes to get re-elected.

“He tells Americans worried about their jobs that the way to help them is to raise their bosses’ taxes.

“He tells those who are hurting that the only way they can be better off, is for others to be worse off.

“He tells all of us that the only way for some of us to climb up the economic ladder is for others to be pulled down.

“This divisive rhetoric, this effort to gain political support by convincing some that they will be better off if we punish others, this stuff has never worked anywhere it’s been tried.

“People end up fleeing countries who adopt economic policies based on these flawed principles. And more often than not, they come here.

“They come here because this is not who we are.

“Americans have always believed that all of us can succeed.

“That those who have made it fairly, can stay there. And those who are trying to make it will have a real chance to join them.

“This is what has made us different. This is what has made us prosperous. This is what makes us exceptional.

“And now, for the first time in my adult life, we have a President who’s asking us to abandon our economic heritage.

“To become like the countries people come here to get away from.

“To become like everybody else.

“Yes, people are hurting. Yes, there is a growing gap between the rich and the poor.

“But the way to solve it is not to embrace the ‘trickle up poverty’ economics of other nations.

“The way to solve it is to embrace the American Free Enterprise system.

“No economic system is perfect. But the American Free Enterprise system has empowered millions of people in the past. I know, because I saw it with my own eyes.

“My father was a bartender. And I thank God every night that there was someone willing to risk their money to build a hotel on Miami Beach and later in Las Vegas where he could work.

“I thank God that there was enough prosperity in America so people could go on vacation to Miami or Las Vegas. Where people felt prosperous enough to have weddings or Bar Mitzvahs and, by the way, could leave tips in my Dad’s little tip jar. Because with that money he raised us. And he gave me the opportunity to do things he never had a chance to do.

“Now, we had help along the way. I had student loans and grants from the government to help me get my education. And I went to our public school system.

“That’s an important role for government to play. And so I also thank God that we had an economy prosperous enough to afford to pay for these things as well.

“So, I’ll just close by saying, I hope this year will be the beginning of our work towards a new and prosperous American century.

“Because I know that this idea of a nation where anyone from anywhere can accomplish anything, it’s not just something I read about in history books. I’ve seen it in my own life. And there’s no reason why we cannot continue it here, if only we do the right things.

“May God bless all of you, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.”

Gov. Mitch Daniels Delivers GOP Response to Obama’s “State of the Union” Address ( video )







Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels delivering the GOP response to President Obama’s “State of the Union” address tonight. Daniels tore down Obama’s economic house of cards, making it clear that the State of the Union is “grave,” and saying President Obama “has to know in his heart.” He focused on the massive debt and lack of jobs that have characterized the Obama Presidency, and said America has a small window of time to turn things around, but that it can’t be done with the current course being set by Barack Obama.

Rubio Responds to The President's State Of The Union Address on Hannity




.


Earlier yesterday Newt was attacking Ronney because he hired some of the Charlie Crist people to work for him in Florida. So because Marco Rubio knows first hand about how awful Charlie Crist was for Florida he spoke out about his opinion about Romney.

Marco Rubio: Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist

Newt Gingrich's decision today to bash Mitt Romney for hiring former Charlie Crist loyalists and employees doesn't seem to be sitting well with Sen. Marco Rubio, who drove Crist out of the Republican Party before beating him at the polls in 2010.

Said Rubio: "Mitt Romney is no Charlie Crist. Romney he was one of the first national Republican leaders to endorse me. He came to Florida, campaigned hard for me, and made a real difference in my race."


.

Wild Thing's comment........

Marco is always good and I thank God that he is our guy here in Florida. I pray for him that he can stay strong he has done so great so far. Regarding his comment about Romney and being upset by what Newt said, I can't blame him for that. He is just respecting Romney because of what he stated that Romney was the first to endorse him.

Allen West Says Harry Reid: “He Stands for Fiscal Insanity





“We saw Senator Harry Reid talk about people being obstructionists. We saw him blame the tea party, we saw him blame senate Republicans. Hes even blamed House Freshman on the Republican side.

But what Harry Reid does not understand simply, the constitutional conservative grassroots movement called the Tea Party stands for this, they stand for fiscal responsibility, they stand for fiscal sanity. And the American people have to balance budgets in their homes. Our small business owners have to balance budgets to run their businesses. So obviously what Harry Reid calls obstructionism. I look at it, he stands for fiscal irresponsibilty. He stands for fiscal insanity!”

The Meeting That Won't Change The World ~ Important Read About Electoin!!




THE MEETING THAT WON’T CHANGE THE WORLD

To The Point news

by Dr. Jack Wheeler (The Wall Street Journal called Wheeler "the originator of the Reagan Doctrine". The Washington Post called him "The Indiana Jones of the Right")

At least it was cordial.

But the 150 or so "movement conservatives" gathered at Paul Pressler's this weekend (1/13-14) were a fractured lot.

Maybe 10% were for Perry. Almost all of them were against Romney. Well, sort of. Caveat below.

There was an official Romney guy there who explained that "You'll either work with us now or work with us later, but you'll all have to get on Mitt's train, because we have the money and the organization, so there's no stopping us."

This did not go over well. It just made everyone more determined than ever to do whatever it takes to stop Mittens. How to do so is what the group could not agree on.

I'm not going to name names, as I was asked not to. Just about every big name conservative you've heard of was there. A number of them didn't come out for any particular candidate. Others said they were all in for Perry at the start, and just couldn't overcome his blunders.

When the case was made that Perry was the only candidate who actually understood the Constitution and the power of the 10th Amendment, the only one who was not a big government guy, the most successful governor in the country who has a rock solid record of job creation and conservative judicial appointments - they just didn't care. I want that to sink in.

These conservative leaders really do not care about jobs, people hurting like the Great Depression, America's economy falling into an abyss. All they care about is "the family as the fabric of society," and other Rick Santorum social conservative platitudes. So a majority of them voted for Santorum. They could care less that Santorum would not do anything to reduce metastasizing government, much less castrate it (like Perry would), or has not the slightest trace of executive experience of any kind, government or private.

When asked one-on-one why they were going for Santorum when they knew he had no money, no organization, and stood not a ghost of a chance to win the nomination, the truth came out:

"If we unify behind Santorum, it will force Romney to pick him as his running mate - for he'll know that's the only way to get our support in the general (election in November)."

That's the slimy deal behind this. They'll go for Romney if he goes for Santorum on his ticket. Should we call them Judas Conservatives?

We suspected this all along: Santorum is a stalking horse for Romney. A vote for Santorum is a vote for Romney. Folks in South Carolina need to know this.

The cynical ploy, however, will not work - and not just because the Romney guy rolled his eyes when told about it (Romney has his heart set on Marco Rubio). It's because there was no unity at this meeting.

The Drudge headline "Social conservatives back Santorum," is a lie. A majority of the folks there chose Santorum - but there was no agreement that everyone would now get behind their choice. Some will continue backing Perry. A much larger number are now committed to Gingrich as the Not Romney. Others are going to focus on doing whatever they can to see no candidate gets a majority of delegates for a brokered convention.

A brokered convention, by the way, is how Sarah Palin could get the nomination. Or Rick Perry.

So there you have it.

This was a meeting that won't change the world, that won't change anything, except to marginalize these "movement" conservative leaders who really don't care about the fate of America.

They say Perry blew his chance. They have blown theirs.




Wild Thing's comment........

Perry is the only candidate that has current experience in creating an environment for job growth in a bad economy and plans to do so. * Cut, Balance, and Grow • Energizing American Jobs & Security.Supports a flat tax, a balanced budget, job creation, domestic energy, a secure border and get America working again, He is a conservative of conviction, not of convenience. Has signed 6 balanced budget during his term as governor and the only one to do so since WW11.

Republican House Freshmen: ‘Harry Reid Is Holding The Jobs Agenda Hostage, It’s Time To Grow Up’







During a speech urging the Senate to pass a year long extension of the pay roll tax cut, Freshman Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), said that Harry Reid (D-NV) is holding the Jobs Agenda hostage and that it’s time to grow up, be adults and to get ‘this’ done.


Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and several of his freshman colleagues (Reps. West, Lankford, Gardner, Womack, Nugent, Farenthold, Reed, Buerkle and Heck) called on the Senate to pass a full year extension of the payroll tax cuts.


Wild Thing's comment......

Thank you GOP freshmen!!! If Harry Reid had one ounce of respect even for himself he should be ashamed of what he has been doing. But that would mean he was not Harry Reid. Why on earth they keep voting him in is beyond me.

Newt may know history, but he has more history of his own that will bite him back with his campaign. Foro such a smart man he sure says and does a lot of stupid things. Things no one forces him to say or do.

It might even be Newt's ego the size of a blimp that will be his worst enemy.

LTC Rep.Allen West: Illegal Immigration Could Be Considered An “Invasion”…




I think that illegal immigration – the operative word is ‘illegal’. It also says here in Article 1 Section 8 [reading from Constitution] that you have to repel invasions. I think that anytime someone is coming across your border and they haven’t been invited, that can be considered what the founding fathers wrote as an invasion into your country.



Wild Thing's comment........


I listened carefully and I heard West say like Perry does, that the fence cannot be done the entire way, it has to be broken up with other things. I agree so much. I love Perry's plan for the border fence and securing our border and it would be done now if Obama had done as Perry kept asking to be done.

Thank you LTC Allen West and I hope one day you run for President. But for sure stay in politics we need you and your sound conservative thinking.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Of course the limp wristed Obamam said he was against it.

LTC Allen West knows what he is talking about, thank you.

For those that missed the debate Saturday night. The candidates were asked about waterboarding. So on Sunday Obama was asked about their replies and he said he was agaisnt it.

Thank God for Allen West and for Rick Perry!

This was Rick Perry's reply at the debate .


..."Where there are people who would kill them (American soldiers) in a heartbeat, under any circumstances and use any technique that they can… For us not to have the ability to try to extract information from them, to save our young people’s lives, is a travesty. This is war! That’s what happens in war! And I am for using the techniques, not toruture, but using those techniques that we know will extract the information to save young American lives and I will be for it until I die. " ~ Rick Perry during the debate 11/12/2011

Liz Cheney: Talk About The Issues People Care About







Wild Thing's comment........


Bob Schieffer is a jerk. He was doing his whole show about the Cain bimbogate whatever it is called and also about the video of Rick Perry where the media took clips from an long speech he made for a dinner of donors where he was applauded big time and made to look like he was drunk or something. Which was untrue.

So Liz had enough of the direction of the show and let Schieffer have it. Yippee!!!


Thank you Liz Chaney. I LOVE how she responds. Right before she replies she was asked how she felt about the video that has been debunked about Rick Perry where some freak has put together clips mind you from a long speech Perry made and GOT STANDING APPLAUSE FOR. The left media and others are trying to make people think Perry was drunk or on pain pills for his back. More slander of Rick Perry that is NOT true.

Wake Up America - Jon McNaughton



Wake Up America - by artist Jon McNaughton


We are enslaved to our debt. Wake up, America! Before it is too late...

Every man, woman and child in America is enslaved to the national debt. As an artist, I have painted my vision of the dire circumstances that surround us. Now, more than ever, each American must make a choice: we must unlock the shackles that enslave us, or will we lose our freedom. It is my hope and prayer that America will "wake up" before it is too late.

Those who are familiar with my work know that I like to use symbolism and metaphor to engage the viewer. See if you can find and decipher the many symbols in this image by visiting

http://www.jonmcnaughton.com


In the painting I have intentionally hidden six keys that represent solutions that will release us from the chains of economic and political bondage. Find these keys and share them with as many Americans as you can. If we don't "wake up" future generations may not know what it means to be free.

-Jon McNaughton, political artist




Wild Thing's comment........

This conservative Artist does a beautiful job using his art to say what is happening in America.

I have posted his work before on other topics, He is so awesome.

Reporters Put Romney on the Couch..."Anderson Anderson" LOL



Reporters Put Romney on the Couch


The Atlantic Wire


Conservative voters don't like Mitt Romney because he seems insufficiently committed to their ideals, but reporters like that he offers them an opportunity to play psychologist. Bow-tie-wearing conservative columnist George Will is so outraged that Romney is a "recidivist reviser of his principles" that he's moved to write in all caps in his next column. But what really gets under non-movement journalists's skin is how lame the candidate is, and periodically a psychoanalytical profile of the former Massachusetts governor is written to explain why he can't inspire passion from anyone.

The New York Times' Ashley Parker writes Friday that Romney's problem is that he likes rules too much. While some pundits cheered Romney's rare aggressive moments this year -- shouting down an angry voter, making fun of Rick Perry at the debate -- Parker says those moments reveal Romney's "inner gendarme." When Perry interrupted Romney's 30-second response at the most recent debate, Romney appealed to the CNN debate moderator, Anderson Cooper. Parker confides, "it has become something of a running joke among the traveling press corps to call out 'Anderson? Anderson?' when things go awry." Other examples of Romney's dorky love of rules: when his campaign says no reporter questions at an event, he won't take reporter questions. And he and his wife were observant Mormon teenagers, they never shared a bed when they went to a lakehouse together. "Secretly bunking up, of course, would have been breaking the rules," Parker concludes.



Newsweek's Andrew Romano says Romney's great on paper, but when "real human beings aren't kept at a respectful distance," Romney doesn't shine. He sets this scene at the Iowa state fair in which Romney is munching on a pork-chop-on-a-stick the whole time, transcribing a long and excruciating bit of small talk with a voter. ("[Romney] took a bite, and then, still chewing, struck up a conversation with the nearest retiree, if 'conversation' is the right word for what Romney does with voters, which usually involves repeating whatever they say to him immediately after they say it. ... 'That’s the best thing at the fair," the retiree said ... 'Is that the best thing at the fair?' Romney repled."). Given that all small talk is unbearable and embarrassing and looks stupid when transcribed, this isn't quite fair. But Romano goes on to diagnose Romney's problem -- he's "not very good at winning votes" -- as a symptom of his lame personality and inability to be like his dad. He talks to social science researchers who say Romney's too introverted and conscientious to be liked by voters. Romano say it's a "cliché" that Romney seems like a clone of his dad. George Romney headed American Motor Company before being twice elected governor of Michigan in the 1960s; he ran for president, lost, and was appointed secretary of Housing and Urban Development. "There is one detail, however, that no one ever bothers to mention: personality-wise, George and Mitt didn’t have all that much in common," Romano writes. (Actually, a lot of people mention this.)


The contrast between father and son couldn’t be clearer. George barreled impulsively ahead, confident that he could convince anyone of anything because he’d always convinced them before; Mitt, on the other hand, behaves like a man who was born on third base but worries that he’s about to make a mistake that will send him back to second. ... “George was a Horatio Alger figure,” says Walter DeVries, who oversaw the elder Romney’s campaigns and served as a close adviser in Lansing. “He turned those blue eyes on you and you did what he wanted. Mitt is different. He’s been given the world, and he seems afraid of losing it.”


Politico's Ben Smith, too, says Romney's operating in "George Romney's shadow," Smith reports. Smith points to a New York Times' profile from 2007 that argues the candidate's problem is that he wants to be like his risk-taking dad but he's really more like his cautious mom. Smith spoke to the elder Romney's former aides, who said "George was much more willing to take risks than Mitt seems to be." George was "brash," "gutsy," while Mitt isn't "the kind of person who takes a lot of chances," but instead is "gun shy." And why is he gun shy? Because George's presidential chances were destroyed when he said he'd been brainwashed on the Vietnam war in 1968. The lesson both Romano and Smith draw is that while the elder Romney was a gifted politician who didn't become president because of one off-the-cuff remark, Romney is a terrible politician because he's afraid to say anything off the cuff. But George Romney won only one more election than Mitt Romney has so far.

I would love to know who the heck is voting in these polls? LOL Romney must be paying people to vote, clear their cache and vote again because it is really weird that he stays on top 99% of the time. hahahahha


And as far as the GOP picking Romney FOR us, if they keep this up Obama will win for sure. I have seen too many people online posting in forums and facebook they will not vote at all if it is Romney.

Report: ‘Romneycare’ a jobs killer Study finds Bay State lost thousands of jobs




Report: ‘Romneycare’ a jobs killer Study finds Bay State lost thousands of jobs


Boston Herald

The Bay State’s controversial 2006 universal health-care plan — also known as “Romneycare” — has cost Massachusetts more than 18,000 jobs, according to an exclusive blockbuster study that could provide ammo to GOP rivals of former Gov. Mitt Romney as he touts his job-creating chops on the campaign trail.

“Mandating health insurance coverage and expanding the demand for health services without increasing supply drove up costs. Economics 101 tells us that,” said Paul Bachman, research director at Suffolk University’s Beacon Hill Institute, the conservative think tank that conducted the study. The Herald obtained an exclusive copy of the findings.

“The ‘shared sacrifice’ needed to provide universal health care includes a net loss of jobs, which is attributable to the higher costs that the measure imposed,” said David Tuerck, the institute’s executive director.




Wild Thing's comment......

And yet the GOP wants this guy?? sheesh! And unless people wake up and really start to support Rick Perry and see that he is light years better then Romney then we will end up with Romney for sure.

Why 'Occupy Wall Street' Is No Tea Party Movement



Why 'Occupy Wall Street' Is No Tea Party Movement


The FOX Nation

I'm a Tea Party Activist and 'Occupy Wall Street' Is No Tea Party

By Deneen Borelli


In a recent Washington Post article, Occupy Wall Street protestors were called a diverse group with “no single leader and no organized agenda.

Just like the tea party movement.

Organizers are “drawing inspiration from the Arab Spring” and “hope the New York protests can plant the seeds of a permanent national movement.”

Just like Tea Party, activists draw inspiration from America’s Founding Fathers and fostered a national movement.

Wall Street protesters heeded the call from a web site called Adbusters just like tea party rallies sprung up after CNBC editor Rick Santelli called for action during a live report in February of 2009.

Wall Street’s occupiers want job creation and sometimes dress like zombies. Tea partiers want job creation and sometimes dress like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

If only the Tea Party could get such dispassionate and objective coverage.

One aspect of the Occupy Wall Street and other leftist activism that is a definitive divergence with the tea party movement is disruptive behavior.


On October 1, over 700 Occupy Wall Street protesters were arrested — mostly for disorderly conduct — during a march across the Brooklyn Bridge. Despite two other peaceful marches across the bridge by other groups earlier that day, the Occupy Wall Street crowd couldn’t resist blocking traffic and scuffling with police.

When not under arrest (approximately 100 other arrests occurred over the weeks of the protest), the Occupy Wall Street crowd is actually occupying the privately-owned Zuccotti Park, whose owners are working with city officials on plans to return it “to its intended purpose.”

This rowdy attitude of the radical left is something that, by mistake or design, is grossly unreported in the media. As the Tea Party must fend off allegations of being violent and racist, leftist protests that are unruly don’t get similar coverage.

I’ve been active in the Tea Party movement since 2009. As a black woman, I define the movement’s political diversity and have always been quick to defend its inclusiveness against those who would try to slur it with racist accusations.

Allen West to Samuel Jackson: Stick to Movies, Not Politics, After Racist Jab at Tea Party



Jackson took a swipe at the tea party saying their opposition to the President pretty much comes down to race. West responds on Fox News

Actor Samuel L. Jackson echoed fellow film star Morgan Freeman in calling the tea party racist this week. Florida GOP Rep. Allen West, a card-carrying member of the tea party who is black, took issue with the comments.

“I think Samuel Jackson needs to pay more attention to the upcoming release of the movie ‘Avengers’ next summer and not [get] concerned with the politics and policies of the failed administration,” West told Fox News Wednesday.

Jackson, discussing the tea party, told New York magazine, “I think everything right now is geared toward getting that guy out of office, whatever that means. It’s not politics. It is not economics. It all boils down to pretty much to race. It is a shame.”

West retorted: “Samuel L. Jackson, I guess, disregards the 16.7 percent unemployment rate in the black community, a 20 percent unemployment rate for black adult males and a 45-46 percent unemployment rate for black teenagers. I think the racism that he is talking about is coming out of the White House and this administration.”



Wild Thing's comment........

Allen West is wonderful!! Thank you to West for speaking up about this. And he is right too. Samuel Jackson and Morgan Freeman are both excellent actors, but they need to get back to acting.

Years ago the major studios would sign a star and the star ( celeb) was never allowed to do anything like we have been seeing. The studios actually were controlling their stars but for a good reason. They knew if some of them spoke out like these men have done and Sean Penn etc. the films they did might not get good attendence and it would hurt the studio as well. Then Independent studios became popular and the whole watching over the stars actions etc. was gone.

2 More Top Aides Flee Michele Bachmann Campaign




2 Top Aides Flee Bachmann Campaign

SFGate


We’ll avoid referencing the Titanic here. Two more top aides fled Republican candidate Michele Bachmann’s campaign team Monday. Pollster Ed Goeas and senior adviser Andy Parrish are the latest to depart, suggesting that Bachmann’s dreams of winning the GOP nomination may be coming to an end. The source of the news was an anonymous adviser.

The two aides join Bachmann’s former campaign manager Ed Rollins, who quit last month. Bachmann has recently been fading in polls and campaign funds.

Bachmann's standing in the race suffered when Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced his candidacy. She fell further in opinion polls after suggesting an unproven link between vaccines and mental retardation while trying to criticize Perry's executive order requiring young girls to get immunized for the human papillomavirus, a sexually spread virus that can cause cervical cancer.




Wild Thing's comment......

I am not surprised to see people leaving her campaign.

She still has never proven who the woman was that she "talked" to that night after the debate. And the interesting thing too is that the ghost woman has never come forward. It is all too obvious it is an all out lie Michele came up with.

She became emotional and obsessive about Perry, even screaching ( which Sarah does too and I can't stand that ) and showed big time she is not suited in dealing with high stress situations like world leaders . She would not be able to speak rationally, calmly and professionally to world leaders.

Herman Cain's Communications Director Resigns

FOX News


Herman Cain's campaign communications director has announced her resignation, Fox News confirms.

Ellen Carmichael, who has spent over a year working for Cain, said that her departure is a personal decision about her career.

"I think my leaving now is a reflection on my earnestness to leave rather than a reflection of the campaign," she said.

"I'm still very fond of him," said Carmichael, adding that there is no tension or disagreement over the departure.

"I'm honored to have worked for someone with such character and decency," said Carmichael.

Following the news of her departure Cain's campaign issued the following statement, "Ms. Carmichael decided to pursue other opportunities. We appreciate her service to the campaign."

Her departure comes just as a recent Fox News poll shows Cain jumping into the top tier of GOP presidential candidates.

Carmichael's assistant Francis Boustany is also leaving, and J.D. Gordon will take over as campaign spokesman.

A Real Reason To Be Mad At Herman Cain


Atlanta Post

......A business scandal that so closely mirrors the travesty at Enron....

“Herman Cain’s Enron-esque Disaster: The Story the GOP presidential candidate won’t tell you about his years in corporate America.”

According to a massive class action lawsuit against Aquila’s board of directors – including Cain – he allegedly steered employees into heavily investing their retirement savings in company stock, while at the same time shifting their business model from straightforward energy generation to risky energy trading – the kind of corporate greed that infamously brought down Enron. In the suit, it claims that Cain and other top officials violated a 37-year-old federal law that requires employers to responsibly manage the retirement programs for their employees. Their pensions and life savings were lost.

Unfortunately or on purpose, "scrubbed from Cain’s official story is his long tenure as a director at a Midwest energy corporation named Aquila that, like the infamous Enron Corporation, recklessly drove into the wild west of energy trading and speculation – and ultimately screwed its employees out of tens of millions of dollars,”


This Documnet is a PDF and it is the SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT


.


Wild Thing's comment......


This about Cain and Aquila is information that needs to be known, the left sure as heck knows this information and they have already been posting about it. I would even feel better about Cain if he had been honest and put this information at his website, facts and nothing more. But the truth all the same. That bothers me more that what happened and it being like ENRON. Just be honest with us, and no surprises. Why hide it, that is not right.


Perry's life is an open book for all to know about his decisions good or bad and it is left up to us to decide.

Chris Christie and Obama More Alike Than They Appear



The Fat Guy and the Skinny Guy: More Alike Than They Appear


By James V Capua

American Thinker


For all their contrasting looks, Chris Christie and Barack Obama are alike in one critical respect: both are the kind of politician endangered elites offer up when they correctly perceive their power threatened. To preserve their dominance, establishments seek above all to protect the orthodoxies they have enshrined and the trends they have fostered. By doing so, they maintain the interests of those they depend upon critically for support, and they limit the damage that challengers can cause. This stasis is sold by wrapping it artfully in the bright colors and shimmering bows of novelty.

Barack Obama has been a perfect example. He looked different, but his Hope and Change never challenged an elite orthodoxy. For all his wife's assurances that our lives "as usual" were over, Obama presumed to place himself at the front of Democrat-approved social and cultural trends, all the while never challenging one. He dutifully followed the rules of Democrat discourse: he regularly called out "Wall Street" and "special interests," but his friends at Goldman Sachs, the Green lobby, GE, NEA, SEIU, AARP, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, etc. understood the game and knew they had nothing to fear.


Even as he has become unhinged of late, Obama has restricted his petulant flailing to relatively low-risk targets like the leeches of the Congressional Black Caucus, who have to take it because they have nowhere else to go. He and Chu and Geithner and Summers are brilliant -- but Pelosi and Reid were allowed to run the business.


Obama's eloquence, of course, has been celebrated extravagantly -- particularly by a chorus of what the Brits accurately used to call "news readers," who don't even write their own commonplaces and who would not recognize a memorable phrase if it bit them. Nevertheless, the language that counts in the Obama administration has been that of legislators like Frank, Dodd, and Schumer, and regulators like Warren and Lee.


What does all this have to do with the governor of New Jersey? Like the originals, each of the Abama and Christello 2012 team looks very different from the other, but their shtick is the same. The advocates for Christie are selling him in exactly the same way Obama's did, and for exactly the same reason -- Obama did not, and Christie does not, threaten their respective party orthodoxies, and both promise a comfortable working relationship with party elites.


While, like Obama's before 2008, the Christie balloon has been inflating for some time, the excuse for his current prominence was a talk he gave recently at the Reagan Library. While one could take exception to certain assumptions and emphases, there is nothing wrong with this speech. But like with every speech of Obama's, there is also nothing remarkable about it -- not one phrase, not one image that rises above current Republican convention. Unite us rather than divide us; "when there is a problem you fix it"; we are all in this together; demand sacrifice from all; a healthy American economy reinforces our influence abroad; and, of course, "leadership is compromise."


In this year of infinite promise, why is this banal utterance celebrated in Republican circles? It's safe. In his California oration, Christie waddled as fast as he could to get in front of trends conventional Republicans endorse: the contest in 2012 needs to be all about the economy and jobs and efficiency -- just fix the GDP, and Americans' faith in who and what we are will miraculously follow. Christie never threatened to get anywhere near some of those philosophical, regional, or cultural issues that make NRC Republicans uncomfortable, nor did he evidence any sympathy for libertarian notions. On foreign policy, he embraced neither adventurism nor isolation, and he never questioned the wisdom of our decade-long struggle to introduce assorted barbarians to the glories of democracy. No matter how the decidedly non-disinterested observers try to sell it, it was just a generally angry-looking guy saying things we have heard many times before from mainstream Republicans. Though theoretically an homage to Reagan, Christie's speech could have been delivered by John McCain.


Savants will respond that it was really the give-and-take after the formal speech that marked Christie as The Man of Destiny. Clearly he is a better debater than, say, Rick Perry, and less likely to step into hyperbolic traps than, say, Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann.


The contrast with Perry, Cain, and Bachmann is, of course, the real point of all this for mainstream Republicans, and it incorporates a lot more than Christie's debating skills. Whether by luck or design, Christie's perfectly timed speech provided the opening for a last-ditch attempt by a Republican establishment, worried about a faltering Romney, to head off trends they do not like represented by the Tea Party, Jim DeMint, strong alternative conservative and libertarian voices in the New Media, and other unsettling influences on the right.

Indeed, for all of the "Christie hurts Romney more than Perry" conventional wisdom, if Mitt Romney misses his assigned turn, Christie -- with no extravagant notions about gun rights, definite "Islam is a peaceful religion" credentials, etc. -- is clearly positioned to replace him.


.


Five Things Conservative Voters Need To Know About Christie


1. Illegal Immigration

The biggest chink in Rick Perry's armor so far has been his record on illegal immigration — specifically, the legislation he passed as governor to allow illegal immigrants to pay the in-state tuition rate when attending state colleges and universities. It's this policy that has led many Republicans to question whether Perry really gets illegal immigration at all.

But Chris Christie is hardly the ally that illegal-immigration foes are looking for. In 2010, Christie told Politico that America needs to come up with a "clear path to citizenship." He didn't say "for illegal immigrants," but since America already has a clear path to citizenship for legal immigrants, that's what he meant. This is an entirely reasonable and mainstream position, but in much of the GOP, they call it "amnesty."


Christie's opponents could also point to the time he insisted that being in the country illegally is not a crime but an "administrative matter." He's right — simply overstaying your visa, for example, can get you deported but can't land you in jail. But to impassioned illegal-immigration warriors, we're not sure the nuance will be appreciated.

Then there's Christie's record on illegal immigration as a U.S. Attorney in New Jersey, the job he held before he became governor. Back in 2008, Bill Tucker, a producer on Lou Dobbs's now-deceased CNN show, could only find thirteen illegal-immigration cases prosecuted by Christie's office between 2002 and 2007. Tucker compared that to the U.S. Attorney's office in Kansas, which, despite a much smaller population, prosecuted 597 cases in the same time period. "This man is an utter embarrassment," Dobbs wailed.


2. Gun Control

In an October 2009 appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, Christie voiced support for some gun-control laws:

HANNITY: Are there any issues where you are, quote, moderate to left as a Republican?

CHRISTIE: Listen, I favor some of the gun-control measures we have in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Bad idea.

CHRISTIE: Listen, we have a densely-populated state, and there's a big hand gun problem in New Jersey. Now, I don't support all the things that the governor supports by a long stretch. But I think on guns — certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law-enforcement perspective, seeing how many police officers were killed, we have an illegal gun problem in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Should every — should every citizen in the state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?

CHRISTIE: In New Jersey, that's not going to happen, Sean.

HANNITY: Why?

CHRISTIE: Listen, the Democratic legislature we have, there's no way those type of things — listen, at the end of the day, what I support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves, but I also am very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets, very concerned. And I want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there.


Again, most people believe in having some "common sense" gun-control laws. But when politicians say "common sense gun-control laws," conservatives hear "seize all weapons and ban hunting and make everyone eat tofu." Compare Christie's even-handedness on guns to Perry, who literally goes jogging with a laser-sighted pistol in case he needs to shoot any coyotes.

When Perry was asked earlier this month whether the supports gun control, he responded, "I am actually for gun control. Use both hands."


3. Climate Change


Rick Perry claims that climate change is a hoax that scientists have concocted as a way to get more funding. Chris Christie, after going back and forth on the issue a bit, said just this August that "climate change is real" and "human activity plays a role in these changes." As for those scheming scientists, Christie said that "when you have over 90 percent of the world’s scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role, it’s time to defer to the experts."

4. Race to the Top

Race to the Top, the federal program created by President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan in which large grants are offered to states that reform their education systems, shouldn't necessarily be a problem for conservatives. After all, some of the reforms Race to the Top hopes to incentivize, such as measuring teachers based on the success of their students, are goals shared by Republicans. But apparently it's a sin these days to support anything the Obama administration does. In the last GOP debate, Rick Perry proclaimed that "there is one person on this stage that is for Obama's Race to the Top and that is Governor Romney," adding, "[T]hat is not conservative." Mitt Romney then tied himself up in knots trying to deny the accusation. "I'm not sure exactly what he's saying," Romney claimed. "I don't support any particular program that he's describing."

Well, we know Chris Christie supports Race to the Top, because as governor, he applied for its funds. Christie also called Obama a "great ally" in education reform and praised Duncan as an "extraordinary leader on this issue."

5. Muslims

Remember when people pretended, for a little while, that the ground-zero mosque was a slap in the face of the victims of 9/11? In the heat of the controversy, as Republican politicians demagogued the issue to death, Christie claimed that the mosque was "being used as a political football by both parties." He added that while we must "give some measure of deference to the feelings" of 9/11 families, "it would be wrong to so overreact to that, that we paint Islam with a brush of radical Muslim extremists that just want to kill Americans because we are Americans."

And while we're talking about Muslims, Christie came under fire by some anti-Islam hysterics this summer for his appointment of Sohail Mohammed to New Jersey Superior Court. Mohammed, a Muslim lawyer, at one point represented Mohammed Qatanani, a New Jersey imam facing deportation who had alleged past ties to Hamas. The ties were never proven and Qatanani wasn't deported, partly owing to the support he received from Jewish leaders, politicians, and law-enforcement officials like Chris Christie, who called Qatanani "a man of great goodwill." As for the outcry over his nomination of Mohammed, Christie said, "It's just crazy, and I'm tired of dealing with the crazies."



Wild Thing's comment.......


Christie's speech at the Reagan Library was nothing more than a McCain-ish "we need to cross the isle" speech...talk about "leadership is compromise." Blehhhh

Is anyone else wondering just who is so urgently begging Christie to run? And why?


I liked Christie’s handling of the unions and the budget, BUT that is all there is. Christie is great for NJ, but not great for the country. We need the next prez to come and really shake things up, like getting oil fracking going, drilling in ANWAR, really cutting small bussiness taxes etc. that is not Christie, that is Rick Perry.

One other thing, Romney is not cutting it so they the Republican left and rinos want to send in the second string. Murdoch has been proping up Romney for months, that debate was a set up to destroy Perry (look at the soft ball questions given to Romney, they allowed him to talk way after the bell rang, and everyone on the stage plus the moderators piled on Perry).

“Thank you to the Republican voters for this incredible honor of being named the winner of the Presidency 5 straw poll in Florida today,” Mr. Cain said. “This is a sign of our growing momentum and my candidacy that cannot be ignored. I will continue to share my message of ‘common-sense solutions’ across this country and look forward to spending more time in Florida, a critical state for both the nomination and the general election.”

Rick Santorum, 10.9%
Ron Paul, 10.4%
Newt Gingrich, 8.4%
Jon Huntsman, 2.3%

UPDATE:



Matt Gaetz, member of the Florida House of Representatives and supporter of Rick Perry posted this on his twitter account approx. 2 hours before the results. This could explain why there was not just a Herman Cain win, but a wipe out. Keep in mind that he is a Perry supporter.

Congratulations to Herman Cain!!!


Regarding the tweet I shared above, who knows what happened. I would not put anything past Romnney, he did things like that in the last presidential campaign and got in trouble for it.

Mitt Romney Aide...Said In Cockiness: “It’s over. Perry is toast.”




Romney: Same Candidate, Different Positions



Source:


Romney addressed a gathering of GOP activists at this island resort several hours after Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has assumed Romney’s former role as a fragile front-runner for the GOP nomination, suggested in a speech to the same crowd that Romney was a slick campaigner who “blurs lines” between Romney’s position’s and Obama’s.

A Michigan native, Romney used his keynote address to look beyond the nomination fight and focus his venom on Obama. Emboldened by Perry’s poor debate performances and a weak third-place finish in a Florida straw poll Saturday, Romney advisers privately expressed renewed confidence in their strategy to keep the focus on the economy and the president.

One Romney aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, overstated Romney’s strength but underscored the team’s cockiness when he said, “It’s over. Perry is toast.”

No way is Perry toast. He has tro do some work but Perry is so much better then Romeny there is no comparison.

GOP Leadership Speaks Out With The Truth That Harry Reid Is Holding Up The Aid Relief Bill





A spending showdown in Congress is prompting a partisan rift so raw that an effort to help disaster victims has become mired in disputes over jobs, the national debt and the other contentious issues.

This is what I want to see. When the left is at fault, by God we need to hold a press conference every single time and get the word out the truth about the democrats. I am sick of the media bias and the lies from the left as joe blow sits at home in his Lazy-boy and believes all the bias.

Gossip Monger Or Liar Have Your Pick, Michele Bachmann Goes On Jay Leno To Push Her Unfounded LIE






.


Wild Thing's comment.......

This sicko was on Jay Leno last night. Sorry but she has crossed the line and keeps crossing it.

Bachmann is a real piece of work!!! SCUM! What you are seeing is a woman that either makes things up or IF she was told what she said from 'some woman about her child".....Michele does not check it out, does not BOTHER to get a name. Michele is thus into passing on gossip. If that is not the case then Michele Bachmann is a freaking LIAR! Are you listening Bachmann you are a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is it is not about who she is attacking, this goes way beyond that. It is about what she is doing, how she is doing it and that she will not stop. NO facts, only gossip and or lies. She disgusting!!!


She is hurting our party by doing this. Conservatives/ Republicans are supposed to be better then lies and pushing gossip like this. That is what the left does.

Neil Cavuto, Hannity and others and now Jay Leno have all asked her about this mysterious woman that she talked to after the debate. Each person that has asked her never gets a good answer and they all give the same look, like what is going on here. Bachmann is not stupid and she has to know that ( IF) then the woman spoke to her to at least get her name for referrence later. Bachmann has to realize this is not some accusation to just throw around without being able to back it up. Because of all of these things I can only think it is a lie or half truth at least and she needs to either admit it or move on and stop discussing it and let it die out. She has done the damage but not to Perry she has done it to herself.

I feel badly about it because I have posted in the past of the many wonderful things she has done and this is so stupid on her part to do this now just to try and take down the candidate at the top.

Jim DeMint: Obama jobs plan ‘venture socialism’





DeMint: Obama jobs plan ‘venture socialism’

The Daily Caller


Calling President Barack Obama a “socialist” used to be considered taboo by left-wing critics of the right. But the president has not done much to alter that perception, at least according to South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint.

In an appearance on Wednesday’s “On the Record,” host Greta van Sustren asked DeMint if there was anywhere he could find common ground with Obama

“I would love to be able to work with the president on something,” DeMint said. “But he’s practicing what we call ‘venture socialism.’ I mean, he basically has taken an approach where it’s the government that needs to stimulate jobs, and I know as an employer… you don’t hire someone because the payroll tax is a little lower or you get a $4,000 tax credit. And you certainly don’t hire anyone if they’re going to tax you more, which the president says — everybody making over $200,000 got to pay more of their fair share. They already pay 50 percent of all federal taxes now and 40 percent of that income is small business.”

Wild Thing's comment........


I love how bold DeMint has become with this president. Obama is a socialist and our representatives should be screaming it from the mountains .

Romney: "There's a Good Shot" I Can Be In The White House




Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is escorted by business leader Jim Click Jr. after arriving in Tucson for a round table discussion at a local car dealership. (Ross D. Franklin / Associated Press)

Romney predicts Obama will be a one-term president, and said he would probably replace him


Romney: "There's a Good Shot" I Can Be In The White House

Los Angeles Times

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney seized on Wednesday's news that the income of the average American family has declined to what it was in 1996 to argue that President Obama has proven himself unable to fix the nation's economy.

"That is an indication of failure and the policies of this president have not worked," Romney told a few dozen business leaders at an economic roundtable at a car dealership. "The economy was in trouble when he became president. Everything he did, almost without exception, made things worse. His policies have failed."


Romney asked the gathered businessmen and women to share their concerns, which ranged from onerous regulations that created uncertainty, the rising cost of healthcare and the tax code. Romney reiterated his positions, arguing that regulatory relief, an overhaul of the tax code and a change in how consumers purchase health insurance were key to fixing the nation's economy.

"We keep thinking a little stimulus will get things going. What's wrong in America right now cannot be cured by a little cup of gasoline on the fire," Romney said. "We need to fundamentally reshape the foundation of our economy and its relationship with government so businesses are once again and individuals are once again incentivized to invest in America."


He predicted that Obama would be a one-term president, and said he would probably replace him.

"There's a good shot I can be in the White House some day," Romney said

Romney Won't Use The Word Socialist

CNN


Romney used the interview Thursday to put some distance between himself and Texas Gov. Rick Perry when asked if he would use the word “socialist” to describe the Obama White House.

“Well, you know, words have a lot of unintended meanings and calling people socialists probably goes on the fact that it is true that President Obama’s team and the president himself seem to believe that government has a better approach to our economy than the private sector, and I disagree with that approach,” Romney said.


Romney continued, “I don’t use the word socialist, or I haven’t so far, but I do agree the president’s approach is government heavy, government intensive and not working.”




.



Wild Thing's comment......

Yeowie, I would not say that. hahaha


What a difference, others call it like it is.......DeMint and Perry and others saying socialist, or socialism regarding Obamoa. But Mitt Romney just won't do it. Sorry Mitt, we need leadership with a spine and you lost yours a long time ago.

GOP Sweep, Republicans Win Special Elections In Nevada and New York




Republicans are trying to sweep the two Special Congressional Elections being held tonight. Right now, Republican Bob Turner is leading Democrat David Weprin in New York’s 9th Congressional District by 2,500 votes, 53%-47%. This district has been in Democrat hands since 1923. So, it would send shockwaves throughout the country if Turner can pull out a win in Anthony Weiner’s old district. Barack Obama is not polling well in this district, and a loss there by the Democrats would signal just how weak he is around the country.

In Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, Republican Mark Amodei is way ahead of Democrat Kate Marshall in early vote returns. Here are links to the Associated Press vote returns for the two districts:

New York CD-9

Nevada CD-2

UPDATE 9/14/11 12:05 AM - The Associated Press has called the New York CD-9 race for Republican Bob Turner!


UPDATE 9/14/11 12:11 AM - The Associated Press has now called the Nevada CD-2 race for Republican Mark Amodei!

This is a devastating blow to Democrats in the heart of New York.

It’s a sweep for the GOP!!!!

Blacks Sue Obama & Democrats For Racial Discrimination



Blacks Sue Obama & Democrats For Racial Discrimination

Black Republican Association

By Frances Rice


Courageous aptly describes Rev. Wayne Perryman who has just filed a historic and landmark lawsuit in federal district court demanding an apology from the Democratic Party for centuries of racist oppression. This is Rev. Perryman's second attempt to seek long overdue justice. His first lawsuit in 2005 went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In that case, the Democrats hired an army of lawyers, admitted their racist past, but refused to apologize. The Democrats were let off the hook by the Court on the legal technicality of "standing," since Rev. Perryman had not suffered personally from the Democratic Party's horrendous racism. Different this time are two factors. First, President Barack Obama is a named defendant. Second, this writer has joined Rev. Perryman as a plaintiff since I did suffer personally at the hands of the racist Democrats during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Click here to see my bio with details that is posted on the National Black Republican Association website.

Blacks File Class Action Racial Discrimination Suit Against Obama & Democrats


Seattle, WA. On September 11, 2011, blacks from the West Coast and the East Coast joined together and signed one of the most comprehensive legal briefs ever prepared on racial discrimination, then filed their brief today, September 12th, at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time in US District Court in Seattle (Case No. C11 - 1503). The plaintiffs, who refer to the defendants as "Father of Racism," allege that as an organization, the Democratic Party has consistently refused to apologize for the role they played in slavery and Jim Crow laws and for other subsequent racist practices from 1792 to 2011.

Rev. Wayne Perryman, a former Democrat himself and the lead plaintiff in this class action lawsuit, said he was inspired to file this action after seeing the recent movie The Help. The movie takes place in the region that was exclusively controlled by Democrats for more than 150 years (the South). Mrs. Frances P. Rice, the Chair of the National Black Republican Association is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Mrs. Rice is a resident of Sarasota, Florida and has lived in the South most of her life.

The case cites the collective work of over 350 legal scholars and includes Congressional records, case law, research from our nation's top history professors, racist statements from Democratic elected officials, citations from the Democrat's National Platforms regarding their support of slavery, excepts of speeches from Senator Obama, individual testimonies from blacks who lived in the Jim Crow South and opinions from the NAACP.


Perryman said President Obama was named as a defendant not only because he is the official leader of the Democratic Party, but because of certain statements he made about his own party in his book, Dreams from My Father. In 2009, the President was asked to issue an apology to blacks on behalf of his party, but he refused. Unlike other reparations lawsuits, this lawsuit merely asks for a public apology, but no monetary damages.


In the 40-page brief, Rev. Perryman tells the court that the Democratic Party, (the party that is quick to call the Tea Party and Republicans racist), is the same party that refuses to confess and/or acknowledge (in public and on their website) that they are the party that supported the institution that packed millions of black men, women and children in the deep dark hulls of slave ships with just barely enough food and water to keep them alive, and forced them to lie in their own urine, feces, and vomit for the duration of a long trip across the Atlantic.

And after arriving in America, it was the members of their party that forced these poor souls to work from sunup to sundown for the next 70 years and never paid them one dime. And when the black victims were fortunate enough to escape, it was the Democratic Party that passed Fugitive Slave laws to return them to their brutal slave masters. When their inhumane institution of slavery was challenged by the opposing party, Democrats countered by placing threats in their political platforms (1844-1856), - threatening anyone who dared to interfere with what they called, "the sectional issue of Domestic Slavery."

In May 21, 1856, they carried out their threats when they attacked their opposition, Senator Charles Sumner with a walking cane on the Senate floor and when they attacked with guns, freed blacks and abolitionists on the streets of Lawrence, Kansas. Six years later, Democrats called themselves 'Confederates" and went to war killing thousands to defend and protect their racist institution of slavery.

After losing the war, they fought against constitutional amendments and civil rights legislation for blacks, and chose instead to form terrorist organizations, legislate Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws and support every landmark case that was designed to deny blacks their constitutional rights including the Slaughterhouse Case, Plessy v Ferguson, the Civil Rights Cases of 1881 to overturn the 1875 Civil Rights Act, and Brown v. the Board of Education. While many of these cases were pending, Democrats proudly adopted the name "The Party of White Supremacy" and committed every inhumane violent act known to mankind (from 1867 to 1977) to keep blacks in "their place." And to add insult to injury, after killing millions of blacks through their racist institutions, they hired powerful attorneys to keep this information from blacks and to avoid apologizing to blacks.

Perryman said, "Any organization that has such a racist history and receives 97% of the African American vote (after doing all they could to deny blacks the right to vote), should willingly apologize without being forced do so through a lawsuit. He said, "I guess they feel they have nothing to apologize for." Perryman went on to say that he is "convinced that Democrats will only apologize if the media, or the courts (with public pressure) will force them to do so. The man who authored the book: The Audacity of Hope, now has the "audacity" to refuse to apologize for his political party and their racist institutions, that took the lives of millions of his own people.
Apologies for Racism – Precedent Set

In the 40-page brief covering a period from 1792 to 2011, Perryman makes the following claims regarding past apologies for racism and racial injustices. Perryman said history reveals that an apology or reparation for blacks would not be an issue today had the Democratic President Andrew Johnson chosen to sign Senate Bill 60. Since Johnson's veto of Senate Bill 60, the door for reparations involving racial injustices remained closed for over 120 years.

In 1988, Congress opened that door with the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Under that new bill, Japanese internment victims received an apology plus $20,000 each in reparation pay. In 1993, the victims of the Rosewood, Florida Massacre received an apology and reparations from the State of Florida. On May 16, 1997, President Clinton issued an apology to the victims of the Tuskegee Experiment and paid the African American victims a total of $10,000,000 in reparations.


On February 7, 2005, the 109th Congress issued Senate Resolution 39 and apologized for not enacting lynching laws to protect those who were victims of lynching. In that resolution, Congress stopped short of acknowledging that all of the lynchings took place in regions controlled by Democrats.

And finally on January 20, 2007, the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of North Carolina apologized for the 1898 riot and massacre that killed several black Republicans and drove them out of office.

Who is Rev. Perryman?


Rev. Perryman is the same Seattle minister who used his biblical research in 1994 to persuade the world's two largest Christian publishers and the Encyclopedia Britannica to apologize and remove the "Curse of Ham" theory from all of their publications. The curse theory had existed for over 500 years and was used by Southern Christians and Democrats to justify slavery and their mistreatment of blacks.

Wild Thing's comment.....

Thank God for these brave people, Frances Rice and Wayne Perryman. They know the truth and the real history and have been working hard to educate and get the word out telling blacks how they have been lied to.

Statement by Texas Gov. Rick Perry on President Obama’s Speech

Rick Perry's website


Gov. Rick Perry today released the following statement regarding President Barack Obama’s speech to Congress:

“President Obama’s call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to prosperity.

“Like the president’s earlier $800 billion stimulus program, this proposal offers little hope for millions of Americans who have lost jobs on his watch, and taxpayers who are rightly concerned that their children will inherit a mountain of debt.

“America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.”

.


Rep. Michele Bachmann, who is running for president, filled the void with a press conference in which she ripped the president’s plan to pieces.

“Tonight, the president under the veil of one of the most sacred, deliberative forms -- a joint session of Congress -- delivered yet one more political speech where he doubled down on more of the same policies that are killing the United States economy,” she said, later calling the president “politically paralyzed” and “philosophically incapable of doing what needs to be done.”




.


Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney released a web video titled “960 Days” that highlights what his campaign calls Obama's three years of failure to turn around the economy.

The video shows a clip of the president’s speech Thursday on the 961th day.

“Mr. President. You are 960 days late,” the narrator says.


.

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who worked in the Obama administration as ambassador to China until earlier this year, said Americans are “tired of President Obama’s empty rhetoric and failed policies; they’re desperately searching for leadership and, above all, results.”

“Tonight’s list of regurgitated half-measures demonstrates that President Obama fundamentally doesn’t understand how to turn our economy around,” he said.




.


"Tonight we witnessed the end of a Presidency. To say the speech was a rehash of failed ideas is an insult to failed ideas. Even the Democrats seemed bored. The media will squander whatever shred of credibility they have to prop up Obama, but it is now beyond them. The speech was petty, petulant and highly arrogant. Worse, it revealed, for the entire nation to see, that Obama has no clue what to do. The GOP should pick their nominee carefully, because that person WILL be President."--Mike Flynn,BigGovernment.com editor-in-chief

Shakeup in Michele Bachmann's Campaign.... Manager Ed Rollins and Her Campaign’s Number Two Man David Polyansky....




Big shakeup in the Michele Bachmann Campaign last night.

Bachmann’s Campaign Manager Ed Rollins is stepping down and will continue in an advisory role. But he will no longer be part of the day-to-day management of the campaign. In the video above, Rollins cited his age and health as reasons why he cannot continue.

However, Bachmann is also losing her campaign’s number two man in David Polyansky:


Rollins is now 68 years old, and served as National Campaign Director for President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign that won 49 out of 50 states.

Rollins said Bachmann is “still in this thing” and is now the “third” candidate. “Legitimately, it’s a Romney-Perry Race.”


Politico


On the heels of our report that Michele Bachmann campaign manager Ed Rollins is stepping back into an advisory role, citing health concerns, comes word that his deputy, David Polyansky, is leaving the campaign.


"I wish Michele nothing but the best, and anyone who underestimates her as a candidate does so at their own peril," Polyansky told POLITICO.


But a GOP source familiar with the situation said that Polyansky had "strategic differences on the path forward" with the candidate, who has struggled to gain traction in the last few weeks.

Polyansky and Rollins led the team that brought Bachmann to her Ames Straw Poll win in Iowa, along with a handful of others like veteran pollster Ed Goeas. It wasn't immediately clear who was taking over the top two day-to-day slots.

Bachmann is known for having had an unusually large number of staffers from her congressional office depart in a short time frame, although a campaign spokeswoman said they'd always planned on restructuring.


.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Wows! Ed Rollins really stabbed her in the back with his comment. It speaks to the kind of person that Ed Rollins is that he would dump on her both in terms of compensatory support as well as badmouthing her chances in public on the same day.

Michele is a good person and does not deserve that.

Presidential Candidate Forum (hosted by DeMint) Set For Monday In Columbia .... 3 pm EDT on CNN

7 On Your Side

Half of a dozen Presidential candidates will make their way to South Carolina Monday, for a GOP forum hosted by Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina).

According to CNN, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich have agreed to attend the “Palmetto Freedom Forum” in Columbia.

On ABC’s “This Week,” Senator DeMint said he's not going to endorse any candidate for months, and he's waiting to see what they have to say at the forum.

“This forum's going to be very helpful to me and others, because instead of forcing them to answer my questions, we are going to encourage them to define the issues on their own terms,” said DeMint. “This will give us a little bit deeper understanding on how they view the Constitution and their role as President.”

The "Palmetto Freedom Forum" starts at 3:00pm.......CNN and ETV will broadcast the event.

George W. Bush in the National Geographic interview says his decision to return to the White House on September 11Th for the presidential address to the nation was over the objections of just about everybody.


Bush: I made the decision to go back to Washington on the objections of just about everybody else, I'd had it, I said I needed to get home. A lot had developed and it was important to wrap the day up with a presidential speech...I damn sure wasn't gonna give it from a bunker in Nebraska, I wanted to give it from the Oval Office, I didn't want to give the enemy a psychological victory"

Perry, Romney To Speak In San Antonio This Week For The Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention BUT This Is First Time In 112 Year History No One From WH Wants To Be There




Perry, Romney to speak in S.A.

For the first time in 112 years, no one from the White House will appear at the VFW convention.


SA News

Republican presidential hopefuls Gov. Rick Perry and Mitt Romney will be in San Antonio this week for the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention, but for the first time in its 112-year history, no one from the White House has committed to making an appearance.

Officials with the nation's largest combat veterans association said they have about 8,000 registrants, many of whom are battling airport cancellations from Hurricane Irene to make it to the downtown Convention Center for Monday's kickoff.

That's when Perry is scheduled to take the stage. By custom, he was invited as governor of the host state. Conference leaders said they have asked him to appear as state governor — not as a presidential candidate — because his invitation went out before he announced he was seeking the GOP nomination.

On Tuesday, Romney is set to speak. Several months ago, when invitations went out for speakers, the former governor of Massachusetts was at the time the lone presidential candidate to have announced, VFW officials said. The group's policy is to invite only announced presidential candidates.

“No matter what, we take heat for it,” said VFW spokesman Jerry Newberry. “When President Clinton spoke one year, we caught heat from members. When President Bush did, we took heat. Same with President Obama. But we're a diverse organization, and we don't care what party (speakers) come from.”


Adding to the frustration is not having Obama or any of his representatives accept the group's invitation. The organization is noted for its advocacy of veterans' rights, especially health care and military benefits, both of which are on the chopping block in talks about reducing the federal budget.

“When the President is unable to attend, it has always been customary for the White House to choose a high-level administration official as an alternative speaker,” wrote Richard Eubank, the group's national commander, in a statement.


“It is an insult of the highest magnitude that for the first time in the history of the VFW, the White House has apparently decided that this great and iconic organization of combat veterans and all of its members are not worthy of its notice by not at least offering a first-tier speaker from the administration.”


Obama is scheduled to speak to another veterans organization, the American Legion, on Aug. 30 in Minneapolis for its annual national convention. It has an estimated 2.4 million members and is made up of both combat and noncombat veterans.

The VFW's national gathering will last four days, concluding Thursday after a series of seminars and business meetings designed to prioritize issues for its estimated 2 million members.




.


Wild Thing's comment.....

Obama should not be anywhere near our Veterans or our troops and that is my first reaction.


I do realize how it is something that is supposed to be done and like the article says each time someone is not happy with the president.


My second reaction is what a slap in the face it is for him not to go or send someeone for him.

"Ronald Reagan and the things he stood for defined so much of what I experienced growing up and to be here today just brought all that back and to have a chance to talk about the two major issues during Ronald Reagan's presidency.


"One, what would America's role in the world be -- and that, of course, led to the end of the Cold War.

"And the other is what is the role of government and what the role of government should be in America. And he fought that battle to try to get us back to the right place. And because we are not there now, we are facing this day of reckoning. We have basically, the way to understand it is we have a government. America has built for itself a government that not only we, the richest country in the history of the world, can continue to fund," Rubio said.

OMG this man, that America is blessed with is so awesome. Thank you God for his life, his passion and his love for America.

I promise you if you have the time, you will not be disappointed if you can watch the speech at the top video and the Q & A he does especially. I recommend all the videos but I know it takes time.


This is from an email I got from Marco Rubiio.

I was born and raised in Ronald Reagan's America, a time marked by the defeat of communism and the redefinition of the proper role of government.


The debates going on in Washington today are not much different than the challenges Ronald Reagan confronted and overcame. We can overcome them again, but we'll need to start by electing more conservative leaders to the United States Senate.


We're approaching a critical election that won't just decide the balance of power in Washington, but the kind of country we leave to our children and grandchildren.

“Daily Caller” Survey Finds Gov. Rick Perry the “Top Choice” Among “Politically Active Conservatives”






The Daily Caller

Newly declared presidential candidate Rick Perry is now the undisputed GOP frontrunner, while Michele Bachmann’s star has started to fall, according to the latest Daily Caller/ConservativeHome national presidential primary tracking poll.

Perry now leads the field in all five categories polled this month: first choice, most electable, second choice, best at dealing with the economy, and best at keeping Washington spending under control — often by a large margin.

Perry is the top choice for 29.3 percent of Republicans, handily trouncing Michele Bachmann’s 17.0 percent and Mitt Romney’s 11.1 percent.

But Perry has not just captured the hearts of Republicans; he has also captured the minds of those who are pragmatically looking not just for a nominee they like, but for one who can beat President Barack Obama.


Asked who would do the best job with the economy, Perry is the leader with 27.1 percent of the vote, while Romney is a distant second with 14.5 percent.


The survey was e-mailed to 2,500 participants nationwide who identify as conservative Republicans and are considered likely primary voters. The majority of the panel is politically active, with 70 percent having contributed money to a campaign or worked on a campaign. Thirty-five percent of the members on the panel self-identify as part of the tea party, while 58 percent say they sympathize with the movement.

The results are based on a sample of 726 respondents surveyed from August 18 to August 21.

Four GOP Candidates Sign Up For DeMint Presidential Forum




Four GOP candidates sign up for DeMint presidential forum

CNN

Four presidential candidates have accepted invitations to participate in a Labor Day forum in South Carolina being organized by Sen. Jim DeMint, a conservative kingmaker who has yet to pick a horse in the 2012 race.


Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and businessman Herman Cain have agreed to take part in the Palmetto Freedom Forum, to be held on Sept. 5 at a convention center in downtown Columbia.

Invitations to the event went out to eight candidates Monday, a Republican source told CNN.

Also invited were former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, along with two Republicans still flirting with a bid: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

But event organizers - a small group of well-connected DeMint supporters calling themselves the "Keep Your Powder Dry Caucus" as they search for a 2012 candidate to get behind - did not invite to two declared candidates, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.


Organizers said early on that to be invited, a candidate must surpass the 5 percent threshold in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls. Santorum and Huntsman have yet to do so.


The forum, officially titled the "American Principles Project Palmetto Freedom Forum," will be fronted by DeMint, Iowa Rep. Steve King and Robert George, a conservative legal scholar and the founder of the American Principles Project.

Candidates will take turns fielding questions from the trio of panelists for roughly 20 minutes at a time.

According to organizers, candidates will be asked to "engage in a thoughtful, substantive discussion of their stances on critical issues facing our country."

GOP Candidate Herman Cain: "If ObamaCare had been Implemented when I got Cancer, I'd be Dead"






GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain speaking in South Carolina where he said “if ObamaCare had been fully implemented when i caught cancer, I’d be dead.” Cain explained that his cancer was growing so rapidly that if he had had to wait for months to get needed tests and treatment – as is often true in nations with socialized medicine – he would not have survived. Cain has been in complete remission now for years.

This single issue – the need to repeal ObamaCare – is enough of a reason to vote Obama out of office before we all are forced to live that nightmare.

Rick Perry: “And if I hurt the president’s feelings, well, with all due respect, I love my country and I love future generations more than I care about his feelings"






“And if I hurt the president’s feelings, well, with all due respect, I love my country and I love future generations more than I care about his feelings,” the 61-year-old governor added.

The Boston Herald

The rhetoric will probably get heated. I’m going to be outspoken, I’m going to be passionate, I’m going to be calling it like I see it,” Perry told the Herald in a one-on-one interview, as he shrugged off Obama’s recent scolding that he should be “more careful” about what he says.

“And if I hurt the president’s feelings, well, with all due respect, I love my country and I love future generations more than I care about his feelings,” the 61-year-old governor added.

Perry, who embraced the Tea Party even before GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann, also brushed off Democratic attempts to paint him as a marginal candidate.

“It’s the height of hypocrisy for this president to call anyone a marginal performer. If anyone is a marginal performer, it’s him. He has downgraded the good name and credit of this country,” Perry said. “Talk about someone who has marginalized America.”

" Come and Take It "



"Come and Take It" reads the white-on-black lettering across the top of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's boots, a slogan ostensibly about the 1835 Texas War of Independence but one that could easily apply to his 2010 Republican primary challenge from Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

More about 'Come and Take it':

“Come and take it” was a slogan used in the Texas Revolution in 1835. In March 1831, Lt. Juan Gomez of the Mexican army gave a small bronze cannon to the colony of San Antonio. It was later transported to Gonzales. There it was used during the minor skirmish known as the Battle of Gonzales, when a small group of Texans resisted Mexican forces who had orders to take back the cannon. As a symbol of defiance, the Texans hastily fashioned a flag with a black star and an image of the cannon along with the taunt “Come and take it!”

Wikipedia claims the slogan and symbol has also been adopted by modern day gun rights' advocates.

Gov. Rick Perry says Obama is hell bent on making America socialist ~ Perry Is Absolutely Correct!!!








This is from November of 2009

Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of punishing Texas and being hell-bent on turning the United States into a socialist country.

Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Womens group, Perry said that this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all dont need to be afraid to say that because thats what it is.

Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill.

If you all think those tea parties didnt work, then let me tell you something, Perry said. When they all came home in August for those town hall meetings, they got an earful. Then they went back to Washington, D.C. and the Senate voted that public option down in committee with a majority of Democrats in the Senate.

Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas, recalling a conversation he had with local officials notifying him that illegal aliens that were caught in Nogales, Arizona were being dropped off by federal authorities in Presidio, Texas.

Friday a week ago, I got not a phone call from Washington, not a letter from Washington and as a matter of fact, I dont think any member of our congressional delegation was even notified. The first time we were contacted was by the superintendent of the school and the county judge of Presidio County, Perry said.

They said, do you all know whats fixin to happen? I said, well, no. Whats going on? They said the government has just called us and said for us to get ready for an influx of illegal aliens who were captured illegally crossing the border.

Its called the alien transfer-and-exit program, Perry told the crowd, trucking them from Nogales, past El Paso down to our western border in Presidio.

The Texas governor said he sees the action as punishing this state and urged the assembled Republicans to stand up to Washington.

I say its time to make tea parties twice as big as what they were, Perry declared. I think its time for us to stand up and say to Washington, D.C. that we are no longer going to accept that kind of stuff sitting down and being quiet.

Perry Tells N.H. Audience He's a Global-Warming Skeptic ~ He Is Correct!!!





GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry told New Hampshire voters Wednesday that he does not believe in manmade global warming


Perry Tells N.H. Audience He's a Global-Warming Skeptic

National Journal


Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday told a New Hampshire business crowd that he harbors major doubts about human contributions to global warming, questioning the motives of scientists who have warned about accelerating climate change and arguing against expensive “anti-carbon programs.”

Fielding audience questions after brief remarks that dwelled largely on fiscal and economic issues, Perry encountered one skeptic who said he was quoting from Perry’s 2010 book, Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America From Washington, then asked whether misgivings about climate science fueled distrust of federal research in general.

“I do believe that the issue of global warming has been politicized,” Perry answered. “I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects. I think we’re seeing it almost weekly or even daily, scientists who are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. Yes, our climates change. They’ve been changing ever since the earth was formed.”


Pegging the global cost of implementing “anti-carbon programs” in the billions or trillions of dollars, Perry said, “I don’t think from my perspective that I want America to be engaged in spending that much money on [what is] still a scientific theory that has not been proven, and from my perspective, is more and more being put into question.”


Perry’s skepticism on modernity’s role in evolving weather patterns is of a piece with his strongly anti-regulation message, and fits with the tea party’s push for limited government. And he is not alone in the GOP field in doubting scientific assertions. But it puts him at odds with his top rival for the GOP nomination.

In June, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told a New Hampshire audience that humans had played a part in global warming.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Some of those giving their opinions in the video are idiots. One man sais Perry sounds like Bush about global warming. But the thing is anyone that says it is man made will sound like anyone else that says it is man made it sure as heck does not mean we nor Perry are not thinking for ourselves. sheesh.

Perry did good and I am so glad he is not in agreement with Mitt Romney or anyone else that want to kiss up to the fake global warming baloney.

Rick Perry Admits Mistake on Gardasil-HPV Vaccine Decision ~ Name Even One Other Politician That Admits He was Wrong! God Bless Perry!



Rick Perry Admits Mistake on Gardasil-HPV Vaccine Decision


Life News


On his first day on the campaign trail, Texas Gov. Rick Perry admitted he made a mistake on the sole issue some pro-life advocates bring up as a concern despite his sterling pro-life record.
Perry, in a conversation with a New Hampshire voter, walked back his decision to mandate the vaccine Gardasil to 11-year old girls. According to a Politico report, a voter confronted him on the issue — explaining his remorse for the decision and indicating he put an opt-out provision in place allowing parents to decide not to have their young girls receive the vaccine.

Perry explained that, in his zeal to protect children, he went too far.

“I signed an executive order that allowed for an opt-out, but the fact of the matter is I didn’t do my research well enough to understand that we needed to have a substantial conversation with our citizenry,” he said. “I hate cancer. Let me tell you, as a son who has a mother and father who are both cancer survivors.”


“I hate cancer. And this HPV, we were seeing young ladies die at the early age. What we should have done was a program that frankly should have allowed them to opt in, or some type of program like that, but here’s what I learned — when you get too far out in front of the parade they will let you know. And that’s exactly what our legislature did.”


UPDATE: “I made a mistake on that,” Perry told Iowa Radio later in the day Monday, calling it “an error in not having a conversation with the people of the state of Texas.”

“I agreed with their decision. I don’t always get it right, but I darn sure listen,” he said of the legislature responding to his decision.


“One of the things I do pride myself on, I listen. When the electorate says, ‘Hey, that’s not what we want to do,’” Perry told Houston’s ABC affiliate on Monday. “We backed up, took a look at what we did. I understand I work for the people, not the other way around. There was a better way to do that, I realize that now.”

UNFORTUNATELY that is not enough for the likes of Michelle Malkin and her ilk. So Michelle wrote a hit piece, beyond over the top about Perry. I will only be posting the link of it as I do not want her trash writing at my blog. ~ Wild Thing

Rick Perry’s bad, Obama-style medicine by Michelle Malkin

Wild Thing's comment.........

Has Romney admitted he made a mistake with Romneycare. NO Have any other politicans admitted they made a mistake about anything? Not that I can remember. BUT Perry has admitted he made a mistake.


Let me point out one other thing about the individual that wrote the POISON Pen article. Malkin December 2008 wrote a scathing article called " Truthers to the left of me, truthers to the right". It was a hit piece attacking those of us that are called "birthers" and Malkin said we were the same as the Truthers.


But she was not done with her horrible rant and comparison, no, she had to bring it up again in April of this year with yet another article titled " The birth certificate circus". That was written because Obama showed his FAKE birth certificate and Malkin felt the fake was enough and should satisfy the 'Birthers". Now she writes a hit piece about Perry and knowing all along that he has said he made a mistake.

Very disappointing indeed to see this happening.


And they say Democrats eat their own! Eat your own much Michelle???

Conservatives Need to Stop The Bilderberg Conspiracy Theory Nonsense




Conservatives Need to Stop The Bilderberg Conspiracy Theory Nonsense

Texas Fred

By: Gregg Hilton

Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) spoke to the 2007 Bilderberg Conference about energy security and policies which resulted in his state being responsible for 37% of all private sector job growth in America. The Governor is not a traitor, he is not controlled by the Bilderbergers, and has done nothing to jeopardize America’s sovereignty.

The three day annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group is now being held in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Today’s Alex Jones radio program denounced the gathering for attempting to destroy America’s sovereignty and plotting to create a single global currency.

Similar to most accusations made by Jones, the claims have no merit and there is no evidence to support them. Since 1945 the world has had a single reserve currency, and it is the American dollar.

An article today on Infowars.com claims Bill Clinton “is a prime example of a candidate selected and run by Bilderberg. Bilderberg is also responsible for selecting British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron.”

It goes on to say Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX):

"is another pawn. . . Veteran Bilderberg sleuth Jim Tucker wrote last week about Perry’s likely entry into the 2012 field, pointing out that he may be Bilderberg’s ‘Ace in the Hole’ . . . Perry keeps pushing himself as a Bilderberg wild card. . . Bilderberg, true to form, wants the U.S. recession to continue throughout 2012 and for oil prices to remain high and increase further.”


This is complete nonsense and it makes conservatives appear foolish. I sent four messages to Mary Borrego yesterday when she said “George Bush is a traitor!!!!!” and went on to praise Ron Paul who wants America to give up its veto power in the UN Security Council. As I told her, the Bilderberg Group is not an advocacy organization and does not take official positions on any issue. They have never reached a conclusion on any subject, nor have they attempted to do so.

In 57 years they have never issued a policy statement or resolution. They have never taken a vote on any issue. The guests are both liberals and conservatives, and every gathering features debates. In 2004, there was a debate between then Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) and Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition. No one accused them of working together.

Bilderberg primarily serves as a networking group for the well connected. The motivation in forming the organization in 1954 was to stop anti-American sentiments in Europe.

Most of the nonsense surrounding Bilderberg comes from the John Birch Society, Alex Jones, Infowars, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) and other radical libertarians. Cuban leader Fidel Castro agrees with their conspiracy claims. An episode of Jesse Ventura’s TV program “Conspiracy Theory” was devoted to the Bilderberg Group.

George W. Bush, UK Prime Minister David Cameron of the Conservative Party, former Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and Richard Perle are not traitors. They did not participate in any plot to steal America’s sovereignty. Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) attended a 2007 Bilderberg Conference and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said he should be investigated for a criminal violation of the Logan Act which prevents our foreign policy from being undermined. Congressman Paul said Perry’s attendance was “A sign that he’s involved in the international conspiracy.” Other comments about the Bilderberg Conference include:


● Ann Liber of Prosper, Texas said Perry “Gets his marching orders from the Bilderbergers. He is a huge globalist and supports the North American Union (NAU).” Not only does the Governor disagree with her, but a NAU has never existed and no lawmaker has ever proposed it.


● Jeffrey Wimmer of Biloxi, Mississippi says “Gov. Perry has issues with conservatives like myself . .I’m very wary of guys the Bilderbergers pull into their New World Order circle.”


● Deb Stickley of Lexington, Kentucky: “They are developing a one world government. Don’t let anyone kid you on this one.”


● Ted Day of Tenino, Washington believes the Bilderbergers “are the true enemy, the rest are diversions.”


● Libertarian Mark Hamilton of Clifton, Virginia says “These meetings are where the billionaires purchase politicians.”


● Sally Linderman of Washington, D.C. says “They are meeting to totally collapse world economies and create a new currency under the New World Order.”


● Caroline Cowan Conger believes “They are about control, greed, power, and America’s breakdown as the country as we knew and loved.”


● Torey Dawn Hodges of Las Vegas is the only person I agreed with: “I think it’s another boondoggle conference that select people attend. Do I think it’s some nefarious conspiracy–heck no. I think the New World Order people have built this strange case around central bankers, Jews, the Council of Foreign Relations, Jews, Bilderberg, Jews, the Federal Reserve, Jews, etc. They don’t come out and say Jews, but start talking with them and Israel always emerges as a central planner of the New World Order. Seriously, I think Bilderberg is an event. It’s an intellectual exchange of ideas; likely a lot of stupid ideas. I don’t think the group has much influence.”

Congressman Paul is again seeking the GOP presidential nomination but continues to say there is little difference between Republicans and Democrats. In a 2009 interview the lawmaker said:

"The people who surround Obama or Bush generally come from the same philosophic viewpoint and they have their organizations – the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers, and they’ve been around a long time. My biggest concern is what they preach: Keynesian economics and interventionism and world planning.”

These organizations do not pick presidents or other world leaders, they had nothing to with the creation of the European Union or any military action, and they have never called for a New World Order or a global currency.

They are similar to numerous think tanks, and the only difference is that the attendees are high profile. The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission have both opened their proceedings to public scrutiny, maintain websites and have long listed their members.

If the Bilderberg Group is trying to establish a new currency or a one world government, then for 57 years they have been spectacular failures.


.

Wild Thing's comment.......


I thought this was an excellent write up and for those that might not have known a lot about the Bilderberg's and what it is and what they do. It is also a good article to forward to anyone that has questions about Perry regarding this.

So that should be it. The only complaints I have seen have been about this topic and the Gardasil injections. Both as you can see from the various posting on here pretty much debunk them.

No politican is going to be perfect, some are worse then others.But to accuse a person of something that has been answered or is not true then we are doing the work of the DNC and they do enough bashing and lies ias it is.

Gov. Rick Perry Refuses To Back Down On Bernanke Comment ~ Thank You Gov.!!!




Perry Refuses To Back Down On Bernanke Comment: “I’m Passionate About The Issue, I Stand By What I Said"

The Washington Post


Twelve hours removed from a controversy about his suggestion that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was engaging in “treasonous” behavior Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s presidential campaign didn’t try to walk back the remark. In fact, they doubled down on it.


“I am passionate about the issue but I stand by what I said,” Perry told reporters in Iowa today.

Although Perry’s campaign is only a few days old, the episode provides a telling insight into the Texas governor: he is brash, bold and unapologetic about being so.

And that just might make him a perfect fit for the current Republican primary electorate who is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

A look back across Perry’s rhetorical history suggests that this latest controversy is nothing new.

Perry famously floated the idea of Texas seceding from the United States if the federal government kept trampling on states’ rights in 2009



Obama: Perry “Needs To Be More Careful” What He Says


Reuters

The White House denounced Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry on Tuesday for his threatening remarks toward the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve that represented some of the most inflammatory rhetoric of the 2012 election campaign.

At a campaign event on Monday, Perry was asked if Obama loved the country, and replied, “You need to ask him.”
Campaigning in Iowa on Monday, the Texas governor said he would consider it "treasonous" if Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke "prints more money between now and the election" in November 2012 -- a fresh sign of the political heat the central bank faces as it tries to right the stumbling U.S. economy.


"If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don't know what y'all will do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas," Perry said to laughter from supporters in Iowa.


"Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous, treasonous in my opinion," he said.

Asked whether Perry’s remarks were disrespectful, Obama said he would “cut him some slack” as a new candidate.

“Everybody who runs for president, it probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn’t like running for governor or running for senator or running for Congress, and you’ve got to be a little more careful about what you say,” Obama said on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”

Wild Thing's comment......

This all reminds me soooo much of the last presidential campaign. When Sarah Palin was speaking the truth about Obama, things about William Ayers, about his other associations, so many things. And she was attacked for it, BUT not by any of us, we cheered her on as did all the other conservatives that wanted people to know the truth about Obama. She did not back down either. Only RINO MCCain was running around saying Obama was a man of honor....BARF!

Thank God that Perry stands his ground on what he said. IMO conservatives should all be very glad about this.


And what arrogance Obama has once again to even give a warning to Perry sheesh!


Read my lips Obama. Perry is right and I will add that YOU Obama are treasonous to our country. With your socialized medicine and the rest of your agenda.

Texas Navy SEAL nabs 2 in dog killing

Governor Rick Perry and Marcus Luttrell are a couple of friends that frequent our shop and ride with us on a regular basis. If you are not familiar with Marcus Luttrell, please read on;

Petty Officer First Class Marcus Luttrell was born in Huntsville, Texas in 1975. A graduate of BUD/S Class 228, he was the only survivor of the fateful events of June 28, 2005 in Afghanistan. Luttrell and three teammates from SEAL Team TEN were assigned to a reconnaissance mission, operation RED WING, in the Hindu-Kush mountain region of Afghanistan. Their objective was to gather intelligence on Taliban movement in the area. Luttrell’s team was eventually discovered and outnumbered by over 200 Taliban fighters.

Petty Officer Luttrell was the only one to survive enemy contact. In the rescue mission that ensued, 16 Special Forces personnel, including 8 SEALs, died when their helicopter was shot down by Taliban fighters. It was the largest single-day loss of life in the SEALs’ history. In 2006, Petty Officer Luttrell was awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism.

His full story is documented in his heroic account of the operation, entitled: Lone Survivor.

When Retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's dog was taken and shot and Marcus tracked them down . The police arrested the punks and the next day Marcus Luttrell went to stay with Gov. Perry and Anita's home.


Perry said that Luttrell came to stay with him and his wife, Anita, the next day to decompress.

"He is doing fine, he has lost his best friend, but he processed that it was just some totally irresponsible punks that have no understanding of principles or values," Perry said.

Ryan's Office Denies Report He's Considering Presidential Bid





Ryan's Office Denies Report He's Considering Presidential Bid

National Journal

Rep. Paul Ryan’s office is denying a report by the Weekly Standard that the Wisconsin Republican is seriously reconsidering a presidential campaign.

“While grateful for the continued support and encouragement, Chairman Ryan has not changed his mind," Ryan spokesman Kevin Seifert said.

The Weekly Standard, whose editors have been encouraging a Ryan candidacy, quoted an anonymous Republican source saying he was “coming around” and that he currently was on vacation in Colorado mulling over a presidential bid and its effect on his family.

Ryan has previously disavowed any interest in the White House, saying, "My ego isn't big enough, and my children aren't old enough."

Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, has represented Wisconsin's First District since 1999. He's emerged as a polarizing figure this year, after unveiling a controversial budget proposal that revamps Medicare. But he remains very popular with conservatives, who applaud his efforts to reform longstanding entitlement programs.




Wild Thing's comment........

Ryan has an amazing ability to see all angles of a problem and then come up with ways to solve it . This ability isn’t limited to economics so maybe one day he will run for President, it would be historical. It is my understanding that Congressmen don’t ever become President. In all our years as a country only one won and that was in the 18th century. The same with Michele Bachmann, but she is doing really well o who knows.

I really like and respect Paul Ryan.He was absolutely awesome when he took on Obama about his obamacare and he did it all with facts. Awesome!

Gov. Perry Speaks About Wanting To Restore Military Respect






by Ben Smith ( Ben is a LIBERAL ~ Wild Thing)


Politico


Rick Perry strayed from a tribute to military service to tell an audience in Waterloo, Iowa, that he’s running in part to restore the respect of the military to its civilian leaders.

“One of the reasons that I’m running for president is I want to make sure that every young man and woman who puts on the uniform of the United States respects highly the president of the United States,” he said.


The line is a reversal of the usual pledges of respect for the military from politicians, and Perry seemed to suggest that Obama lacks the qualities of a commander-in-chief in being able to command the troops.


The line could be taken either as a slur on the military — they’re pretty much obligated to respect the president, or at least the presidency; or as a sort of validation of military doubts about civilian leadership, which isn’t exactly standard issue politics in the developed world.

But if the line is close to the edge, it may also resonate, capturing discontent with Obama that’s common among soldiers, and serving as a reminder that Perry’s the only leading Republican to have served.




From DECEMBER 2008


President Elect Barack Obama gets no respect as the incoming Commander in Chief from a poll conducted by The Army Times. 6 out of 10 active-duty service members say they are uncertain or pessimistic, according to a Military Times survey.

A lance corporal who asked not to be identified said, “Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief,”

During Christmas, Obama visited Marines in Pearl Harbor, while they were eating their Christmas dinner.


Anecdotal reports say Obama was not greeted with any enthusiastic applause in fact it was pretty silent.

Rick Perry is a veteran and his reference was with regards to the military personnel who are having to serve under a President they do not respect. Loose lips sink ships and if our current administration had not outed Seal Team 6 those brave young soldiers would still be alive today.

Michele Bachmann Wins Iowa Straw Poll






AP


Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), an Iowa native, won the Iowa Republican Straw Poll today in Ames, Iowa. Ron Paul was second and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty placed third.


Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann won a test vote of Iowans on Saturday, a show of popularity and organizational strength for the tea party favorite five months before the state’s caucuses kick off the GOP presidential nominating season.

The result is the first indication of what Iowans think of the field of Republicans competing for the chance to challenge President Barack Obama next fall. But it’s hardly predictive of who will win the winter Iowa contest, much less the party nod or the White House.

Rather, Saturday’s outcome suggests that Bachmann has a certain level of support and, perhaps even more important, the strongest get-out-the-vote operation and widest volunteer base in a state whose caucuses require those elements.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished a close second while former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty placed a distant third.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Congratulations and well deserved. She has worked very hard in Iowa.

I like Michele, I just don't think she can get enough support to get Obama out of office. If she would keep with facts too is important. Her love for America is great and I will always remember how she took on Geithner about the Dollar that time.

Perry Wins Straw Poll … In Alabama



The Daily Caller

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is the winner of today’s Alabama — that’s Alabama – straw poll, according to party officials there.

Perry, who announced his candidacy for president as a Republican on Saturday, won with 46 percent of the vote. He was the keynote speaker at state GOP party’s annual summer dinner this weekend.

Herman Cain placed second with 21 percent, followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who attracted 16 percent of the vote, according to a release.


New GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry wins Alabama straw poll

FOX News


Texas Governor Rick Perry, who announced Saturday his intention to run for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, was selected the winner of a presidential preference straw poll held Saturday by the Alabama Republican Party.

The party, in a statement Saturday to FOX6 News, said 46 percent of the state GOP executive committee picked Perry as a write-in candidate during their meeting at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.

"Let me be clear that this is not an endorsement by the Alabama Republican Party," said Bill Armistead, Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, in the statement. "We were interested to see how the current field stands with Republican voters in Alabama. We are thankful for all of the candidates who participated by submitting videos and campaign materials for us to review."

Businessman Herman Cain received 21% and former Governor Mitt Romney received 16% of the vote. All declared candidates who had received at least 2% in three national polls were included. Listed on the ballot were Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. The only names receiving write-in votes were Rick Perry and Sarah Palin.


Perry was in Birmingham Friday night and spoke to Republicans.

"The entire weekend was a rousing success. We had 1,500 activists at our Annual Summer Dinner on Friday night to hear Texas Governor Rick Perry," continued Armistead. "Governor Perry gave a stirring, conservative speech that obviously resonated very well with the attendees."


The vote comes on the same day as the far better-publicized Iowa Straw Poll in Ames, Iowa.

Perry: 101
Cain: 47
Romney: 36
Gingrich: 11
Bachmann, Paul, Pawlenty, Santorum, Johnson, Palin: All in single digits

Texas Governor Rick Perry Announces 2012 Bid for President of United States ~ FULL SPEECH Videos


Rick Perry "I Declare My Candidacy For President Of The United States" PART 1


Texas Governor Rick Perry Announces 2012 Bid for President of United States



.


Rick Perry "I Declare My Candidacy For President Of The United States" pt.2


In a rousing speech in Charleston, South Carolina today, Texas Gov. Rick Perry declared his candidacy for President of the United States.


Governor Perry asks for a moment of silence to honor the members of our Armed Forces who bravely put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms.

"America is not broken, Washington is broken"

"The change we seek will never emanate out of Washington. It will come from the windswept prairies of middle America; the farms and factories across this great land; the hearts and minds of God-fearing Americans -- who will not accept a future that is less than our past, who will not be consigned a fate of LESS freedom in exchange for MORE government. We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We're Americans. That's what we do. WE roll up our sleeves, WE get to work, WE make things better."

“I will work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your lives as I can.”


“Revitalizing the economy is our country’s most urgent need. Stopping the generational theft posed by record debt is our long-term mission.”


“It’s time to get America working again. It’s time to give a pink slip to the current residents of the White House.”

“We don’t need a President who apologizes for America.”

“Our President has insulted our friends.”....... yes like Israel, our greatest friend in the Middle East.~ Wild Thing


“At age 8, I was blessed to meet my future wife, Anita Thigpen, at a piano recital. We had our first date eight years later. And she finally agreed to marry me 16 years after that I'm persistent.”

“I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek, a community too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of West Texas.”


"It's time to get America working again," Perry said, arguing that "Recovery is a meaningless word if the bank has foreclosed on your home."

While Perry spent some of his speech discussing his own record, he spent most of his time attacking the current occupant of the White House. He criticized Mr. Obama's "unbridled fixation" on spending and suggested the president's economic policies have "prolonged our national misery, not alleviated it."

"You cannot win the future by selling America off to foreign creditors," he said. "We cannot afford four more years of this rudderless leadership." The time had come, he added, to "stop the generational theft."

Change in America, Perry said, begins not with Washington but with the American people, "patriots who will not be consigned to a fate of less freedom in exchange for more government."


He said people object to an administration “that sees its role as spending our children’s inheritance on failed economic theories that have given us record debt and left far too many unemployed, threatening not only our economy, but our security. Our reliance on foreign creditors and sources of energy not only compromises our national sovereignty, but jeopardizes our national future.”

"We are indignant about leaders that do not listen and spend money faster than they can print it," Perry said, complaining of "central planners" who "downgrade our future and micromanage our lives."

"I'll work every day to try to make Washington, D.C., as inconsequential in your life as I can," he added.


Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s Presidential Website has gone “Live” this morning, with a written message from Perry explaining why he is running for President of the United States. Perry will speak shortly in South Carolina and announce he’s in the race:


Wild Thing's comment......

I love it when Sarah does this and in Gov. Perry's speech he did it too. He really took Obama Obama to the woodshed. In fact he also took Obama's entire administration to task.

Perry like Sarah has charisma and that is also what Reagan had. IMO that is important during a campaign and as President. Obama never had that and never will, he had a media as his bride, the bride of frankenstein and they promoted himi as a Mesiah that was supposed to be a great speaker. WE ALL KNOW he was NOT and could not even rate being a good speaker, he only read his teleprompter that is not being a good speaker. He only had passion in his hate for our country and his hate for all things American.


One of Gov. Perry's biggest endorsement is from my Texas brother and his wife who are dyed in the wool Democrats. They are fed up with “No-bama” (their words) .

I love texas as you all know. One of the many things about Texas is Texans never get just pissed...they fight back.
Perry will give payback in spades. Remember G.W. Bush after 9-11 he went after the terrorists, unlike what Clinton did after the first attack on the Towers during his presidency.


We have a few awesome people running now. And I will only be counting those that have put their hat in the ring. That have stepped forward.


Here are my favorites;


Gov. Rick Perry gets a yes from me.


Herman Cain is nothing less then awesome. I LOVE to hear him speak. Reality says he cannot win, but gosh I would love for him to be in a Republican administration maybe something dealing with the Treasury or something. He should not be pushed aside when he has soooo much to offer. He too has has charisma and I love his personality, his smile lights up a room.


Michele Bachmann is good but too much of the time she misquotes information that can so easily be checked out. Not only facts but also about other candidates. I wish she would stop doing that, it makes it hard to trust a person that does this kind of thing. Argue with the other candidates is fine, but use actual facts about that person that are true not made up along the way. I am NO fan of Pawlenty at all not even a little and Michele said some things about his bills he passed or was for that were not true.

Romney no way, Romney care etc.

Pawlenty no thank you very much.

Santorum he won't win, a good man and a conservative to be sure but he would make an awesome Senator if he would only do that instead.

Ron Paul forgetabout it. ( said with best Mafia accent ) haha

Newt, no thanks.


Huntsman, nope for many reasons.


FULL Transcript of his speech.......... CONTINUE HERE

It’s sure good to be back in the Palmetto State, in South Carolina. I enjoy coming to places where people elect folks like Nikki Haley, true conservatives. And also where they love the greatest fighting force on the face of the earth…the United States Military.

And I want to take a moment and ask you to just take a silence, think about those young Navy SEALs and the other special operators who gave it all in the service of their country. Just take a moment to say Thank you, Lord, that we have those kind of selfless, sacrificial men and women. Their sacrifice was immeasurable, their dedication profound, and we will never, ever forget them.

I stand before you today as the governor of Texas. But I also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers, Ray Perry, who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there, and Amelia who made sure my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed, including hand-sewing my clothes until I went off to college.

I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn’t have a zip code. It’s too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas. We grew dryland cotton and wheat, and when I wasn’t farming or attending Paint Creek Rural School, I was generally over at Troop 48 working on my Eagle Scout award.

Around the age of 8, I was blessed – didn’t realize it, but I was blessed to meet my future wife, Anita Thigpen, at a piano recital. We had our first date eight years later. And she finally agreed to marry me 16 years after that. Nobody says I am not persistent.

There is no greater way to live life than with someone you love, and my first love is with us today, my lovely wife Anita. We’re also blessed to have two incredible children, Griffin and Sydney, and they are also with us today, and our wonderful daughter-in-law Meredith. I’d just like to introduce those two. Thank you.

What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life. But it wasn’t until I graduated from Texas A&M University and joined the United States Air Force, flying C-130’s all around the globe, that I truly appreciated the blessings of freedom.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, I realized that the United States of America really is the last great hope of mankind. What I saw was systems of government that elevated rulers at the expense of the people. Socialist systems cloaked maybe in good intentions but were delivering misery and stagnation. And I learned that not everyone values life like we do in America, or the rights that are endowed to every human being by a loving God.

You see, as Americans we’re not defined by class, and we will never be told our place. What makes our nation exceptional is that anyone, from any background, can climb the highest of heights. As Americans, we don’t see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility. And as Americans, we realize there is no taxpayer money that wasn’t first earned by the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.

That’s why we reject this President’s unbridled fixation on taking more money out of the wallets and pocketbooks of American families and employers and giving it to a central government. “Spreading the wealth” punishes success while setting America on course to greater dependency on government. Washington’s insatiable desire to spend our children’s inheritance on failed “stimulus” plans and other misguided economic theories have given us record debt and left us with far too many unemployed.

But of course, now we’re told we are in recovery. Yeah.

But this sure doesn’t feel like a recovery to more than nine percent of Americans out there who are unemployed, or the sixteen percent of African Americans and 11 percent of Hispanics in the same position, or the millions more who can only find part-time work, or those who have stopped even looking for a job.

One in six work-eligible Americans cannot find a full-time job. That is not a recovery. That is an economic disaster.

If you think about it, for those Americans who do have full-time jobs, they aren’t experiencing economic recovery with the rising fuel costs and the food prices that are going up. Recovery is a meaningless word if the bank has foreclosed on your home, if you are under water on your mortgage, or if you are up to the max on your credit card debt. Those Americans know that this President and his big-spending, big-government policies have prolonged our national misery, not alleviated it.

And what do we say to our children? Y’all figure it out? Don’t worry, Washington’s created 17 debt and entitlement commissions in 30 years, but the fact of the matter is they just didn’t have the courage to make the decisions to allow you to have the future that you actually deserve? That Washington wouldn’t even make modest entitlement program reforms in this last debate? And the President even refused to lay out a plan, for fear of the next election? How can the wealthiest nation in the history of civilization fail so miserably to pay its bills? How does that happen?

Well, Mr. President, let us tell you something: you can’t win the future by selling America off to foreign creditors.

We cannot afford four more years of this rudderless leadership. Last week, that leadership failed, and the tax and spend and borrow agenda of this President led to the first ever downgrade of the credit rating of the United States of America.

In reality though, this is just the most recent downgrade. The fact is for nearly three years President Obama has been downgrading American jobs. He’s been downgrading our standing in the world. He’s been downgrading our financial stability. He’s been downgrading our confidence, and downgrading the hope for a better future for our children. That’s a fact.

His policies are not only a threat to this economy, so are his appointees – a threat. You see he stacked the National Labor Relations Board with anti-business cronies who want to dictate to a private company, Boeing, where they can build a plant. No president, no president should kill jobs in South Carolina, or any other state for that matter, simply because they choose to go to a right-to-work state.

You see, when the Obama Administration is not stifling economic growth with over-regulation, they are achieving the same through their reckless spending. Debt is not only a threat to our economy, but also to our security.

America’s standing in the world is in peril, not only because of disastrous economic policies, but from the incoherent muddle that they call foreign policy. Our president has insulted our friends and he’s encouraged our enemies, thumbing his nose at traditional allies like Israel. He seeks to dictate new borders for the Middle East and the oldest democracy there, Israel, while he is an abject failure in his constitutional duty to protect our borders in the United States.

His foreign policy seems to be based on alienating our traditional allies, while basing our domestic agenda on importing those failed Western European social values. We don’t need a president who apologizes for America. We need a president who protects and projects those values.

Look, it’s pretty simple: we’re going to stand with those who stand with us, and we will vigorously defend our interests. And those who threaten our interests, harm our citizens – we will simply not be scolding you, we will defeat you.

Our nation cannot and it must not endure four more years of aimless foreign policy. We cannot and must not endure four more years of rising unemployment, rising taxes, rising debt, rising energy dependence on nations that intend us harm.

It is time to get America working again. To get citizens – to get our citizens working in good jobs and getting the government to working for the people again.

Page one of any economic plan to get America working is to give a pink slip to the current resident in the White House.

Listen, we just got to get back to the basic truths of economic success. As Governor, I’ve had to deal with the consequences of this national recession. In 2003, and again this year, my state faced billions of dollars in budget shortfalls. But we worked hard, we made tough decisions, we balanced our budget. Not by raising taxes, but by setting priorities and cutting government spending. It can and it must be done in Washington, DC.

Dr. Schwertner (State Representative, R-Williamson County, TX), we have led Texas based on some just really pretty simple guiding principles. One is don’t spend all of the money. Two is keeping the taxes low and under control. Three is you have your regulatory climate fair and predictable. Four is reform the legal system so frivolous lawsuits don’t paralyze employers that are trying to create jobs.

Over the years, we have followed this recipe to produce the strongest economy in the nation. Since June of 2009, Texas is responsible for more than 40 percent of all of the new jobs created in America.

Now think about that. We’re home to less than 10 percent of the population in America, but forty percent of all the new jobs were created in that state.

I’ve cut taxes. I have delivered historic property tax reductions. I was the first governor since World War II to cut general revenue spending in our state budget. We passed lawsuit reform, including just this last session a “loser pays” law to stop the frivolous lawsuits that were happening.

And I know I’ve talked a lot about Texas here in the last little bit. I’m a Texan and proud of it. But first, and foremost, I’m an incredibly proud American.

And I know something: America is not broken. Washington, D.C., is broken!

We need balanced budgets. We need lower taxes. We need less regulation. And we need civil justice reform – those same four principles. Our country’s most urgent need is to revitalize our economy, stop the generational theft that is going on with this record debt.

I come to South Carolina because I will not sit back and accept the path that America is on. Because a great country requires a better direction. Because a renewed nation needs a new president.

It is time to get America working again. And that’s why, with the support of my family, and an unwavering belief in the goodness of America, I declare to you today as a candidate for President of the United States.

It’s time for America to believe again. It’s time to believe that the promise of our future is far greater than even our best days behind us. It’s time to believe again in the potential of private enterprise, set free from the shackles of overbearing federal government. And it’s time to truly restore our standing in the world, and renew our faith in freedom as the best hope for peace in this world that’s beset with strife.

The change we seek will never emanate out of Washington, D.C. It will come from the windswept prairies of Middle America, the farms and factories across this great land, from the hearts and minds of the goodhearted Americans who will accept not a future that is less than our past, patriots – patriots who will not be consigned to a fate of less freedom in exchange for more government.

We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That’s what we do. We roll up our sleeves. We go to work. We fix things.

We stand up and proudly proclaim that Washington is not our caretaker and we reject the state that, in Margaret Thatcher’s words, she said a state that takes too much from us in order to do too much for us. We will not stand for that any longer.

We’re dismayed at the injustice that nearly half of all Americans don’t even pay any income tax. And you know the liberals out there are saying that we need to pay more. We are indignant about leaders who do not listen and spend money faster than they can print it.

In America, the people are not subjects of government. The government is subject to the people. And it is up to us, to this present generation of Americans, to take a stand for freedom, to send a message to Washington that we’re taking our future back from the grips of central planners who would control our healthcare, who would spend our treasure, who downgrade our future and micro-manage our lives.

It is time to limit and simplify the taxes in this country. We have to quit spending money we don’t have. We need to get our fiscal house in order and restore our good credit. And we will repeal this President’s misguided, one-size-fits-all government healthcare plan immediately.

We’ll create jobs. We’ll get America working again. We’ll create jobs and we’ll build wealth, we’ll truly educate and innovate in science, and in technology, engineering and math. We’ll create the jobs and the progress needed to get America working again.

And I’ll promise you this: I’ll work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your life as I can. And at the same time, we’ll be freeing our families and small businesses and states from the burdensome and costly federal government so those groups can create, innovate and succeed.

I believe in America. I believe in Her purpose and Her promise. I believe Her best days have not yet been lived. I believe Her greatest deeds are reserved for the generations to come. With the help and the courage of the American people, we will get our country working again. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

Newt Gingrich Tells Off Fox News’ Chris Wallace for “Mickey Mouse” Gotcha Questions



Newt Gingrich Slams Fox News’ Chris Wallace for “Mickey Mouse” Gotcha Questions During GOP Presidential Debate in Iowa

Newt Gingrich gave a fiery response to a “gotcha” question from Fox News’ Chris Wallace about his campaign difficulties. Gingrich lowered the boom on him.



.


Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL he really let Chris have it.



Also here are the names Pelosi added to the list for the Super Committee.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi named three Democrats to the new deficit-cutting committee on Thursday, finalizing the list of 12 lawmakers who will try this fall to find ways to reduce the budget deficit by at least $1.2 trillion.

Ms. Pelosi (D., Calif.) tapped three lawmakers known for protecting entitlement programs: Reps. Xavier Becerra (D., Calif.), Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), and James Clyburn (D., S.C.).


"We must achieve a 'grand bargain' that reduces the deficit by addressing our entire budget, while strengthening Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security," Ms. Pelosi said in a statement. The group should "make decisions regarding investments, cuts and revenues and their timing to stimulate growth while reducing the deficit."

Eight Things You Ought To Know Before You Start Writing Stories About Rick Perry



Eight things you ought to know before you start writing stories about Rick Perry.


Texas Monthly


Here we go again. As you know, Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, is contemplating a presidential run, which means that any day now, your boss will be sending you down here to take the measure of the man. Though he managed to avoid the 2012 spotlight longer than any other candidate, Perry, the nation’s longest-serving governor, has lately become, in the words of a recent NPR report, “the eight-hundred-pound gorilla on the sidelines of this race.” The trickle of stories about him has become a stream, and the minute Perry declares his candidacy, that stream will become a flood, a flood that will carry you straight to Austin. I am writing you this note in the hope that it will help you avoid the political and sociological clichés that Texas is subjected to every time one of our politicians seeks the national stage.


It’s an experience we’re all too familiar with. A Texan has occupied the White House in 17 of the past 48 years—just over a third of the time. Texas has become an incubator for presidents, as Virginia and Ohio were in America’s distant past. I’ll grant you that the presidents we have sent to Washington, from LBJ to 
George W. Bush, have not always served as the best advertisements for Texas. Nevertheless, we have endured a disproportionate amount of bad writing about our state from journalists who don’t know very much about the place, and I for one can’t bear to suffer through another campaign of it.


So please, heed this advice. Rick Perry, as you have no doubt already discovered, is not the easiest man to write about. He is secretive and leery of the media (sometimes to the point of hostility), and he has a strategically valuable knack for being underestimated by his critics. I have been writing about him since the eighties, when he began his career in the Texas Legislature. Along the way I have learned a few things, which I have arranged in this handy list of Eight Points to Keep in Mind When Writing About Rick Perry.


1. Perry is not George Bush. Don’t assume that because Bush and Perry served together in the Capitol, or because they’re both Republican Texans who wear boots, the two men have a lot in common. They don’t. As governor, Bush positioned himself as “a uniter, not a divider,” championing education as one of his main priorities. Perry has been the opposite kind of chief executive: dismissive of Democrats and fond of political maneuvers that put the heat on moderates within his own party. And in the legislative session that just wrapped up, he presided over a budget that cut $4 billion from public schools. The cultural differences are striking too. Perry, the son of a Big Country cotton farmer, is at ease with a populist tea party message; W., the scion of a political dynasty, always seemed more comfortable with the country club set. They have followed starkly different paths. When W. began his political career, he had a famous name, access to his father’s huge national fund-raising base, and the backing of the establishment wing of the Republican party. As a late arrival in the Republican ranks, Perry had no fund-raising base and little name identification. He had no choice but to gravitate to the conservative wing of the GOP, where he could prove up his conservative bona fides. Nor is there any love lost between the two men. When Perry ran for lieutenant governor, in 1998, Bush’s camp wanted everyone on the ticket to run positive races; the Perry team defied the order, and ever since, relations have been frosty. There is one other critical difference. Bush lost his first race, for Congress. Perry has won every race he’s ever run.


2. It’s not a big deal that Perry was once a Democrat. To suggest otherwise will make you look foolish. When Perry was elected to the statehouse, in 1985, conservative Democrats ran the Legislature. In 1989, realizing that a conservative had little future in the party, Perry switched to the GOP. He has been a rock-solid Republican ever since and has driven the state party further to the right. Only twice has he made strategic errors that brought him into conflict with his hard-right base. One was an edict that twelve-year-old girls be inoculated against cervical cancer (it was quickly overturned); another was his promotion of a giant system of toll roads called the Trans-Texas Corridor, which stirred up significant opposition from landowners. These two bobbles aside, Perry has a genius for sensing where his base is on any given issue.


3. Perry is cannier than you think he is. Perry revels in political plays that are initially misunderstood by the press and his critics. Take his secession “gaffe” on tax day 2009, when he responded to a TV reporter’s question with an acknowledgment that if the federal government continued to interfere with Texas, the state might have to leave the union someday. His response may have repelled Democrats and independents, but it hit a nerve among conservatives and led to his shellacking of Kay Bailey Hutchison in the 2010 Republican primary for governor.


4. Texas is not a “weak governor” state. A common misconception. It used to be true, but during his historic governorship, Perry has reinvented the office as a power center. This may be his greatest accomplishment. Yes, our state constitution, written the year before Reconstruction ended, created a weak governor’s office (as did most constitutions of the states of the former Confederacy). We had two-year terms (the Legislature changed it to four-year terms beginning with the 1974 election) and a fragmented executive department with power divided among the governor, the lieutenant governor, the comptroller, the land and agriculture commissioners, the attorney general, and the railroad commission. But Perry has used his appointment power to install political allies in every state agency, effectively establishing a Cabinet form of government and making him vastly more powerful than any of his predecessors. In this regard, the Texas politician he most resembles is LBJ, who, Robert Caro reports, once told an assistant, “I do understand power, whatever else may be said about me. I know where to look for it and how to use it.” Rick Perry, to a tee.


5. Perry is not a male hair model. The late Molly Ivins coined the nickname Governor Goodhair, and it has stuck, especially with ­liberals and journalists from up north. It is true that Perry has a much-remarked-upon coif, but don’t let this lead you to assume that he’s soft, or feckless, like that other recent walking shampoo ad, John Edwards. Perry is a hard man. He is the kind of politician who would rather be feared than loved—or respected. And he has gotten his wish. Perry does not have many friends in the ­Legislature.


6. Perry is from the middle of nowhere. The first place you need to go to understand Perry is Paint Creek, where he grew up. Paint Creek is not a town. It’s a watercourse that runs through the cotton fields of southern Haskell County. Perry’s parents were tenant farmers, and not just tenant farmers but dryland farmers, which is as hard as farming gets. In a June 2010 interview with TEXAS MONTHLY editor Jake Silverstein, Perry described an incident involving a new couch that his parents, who “rarely ever bought anything,” had just purchased. “There were places in our house that you could see outside through the cracks by the windows,” the governor recalled, “and this dust storm came in and there was a layer of dust all over that new couch. And it just, you know, kind of—it was a hard life for them.” In the interview, Perry also described taking baths in the number two washtub and using an outhouse until his father built indoor plumbing in his early years. “We were rich,” Perry said, “but not in material things. I had miles and miles of pasture, a Shetland pony, and a dog. . . . I spent a lot of time just alone with my dog. A lot.”


7. Perry is an Aggie. Like many Texans with rural roots and sympathies, Perry attended Texas A&M University. This is the other place you need to go to understand him. Of course, it has changed dramatically, so you’ll have to envision it as it was when Perry was there, around 1970. A&M was uncompromising in those days. There was a saying, regarding the road to College Station, that was directed at students who resisted the A&M military culture: “Highway 6 runs both ways.” You either bought into the school’s traditions or you didn’t. Perry bought all the way in, becoming a yell leader. To this day, Perry’s style on the stump is that of the Aggie yell leader (“Are you fired up?”).


8. Don’t discount the luck factor. It is uncanny how often good fortune has been in ­Perry’s corner throughout his political career. His opponents self-destruct, as Jim High­­tower did in 1990, when Perry, a big underdog, won his first statewide race, for agriculture commissioner, and as Kay Bailey Hutchison did in 2010. In 2006, when he was at his most vulnerable, Hutchison opted not to challenge him. Perry got only 39 percent of the vote, but because there were four major candidates in the race, he won with a plurality. This spring, he lost two top aides to the Gingrich-for-president campaign, only to see Gingrich self-destruct and the aides return with national campaign experience. The list goes on and on. If you look at Perry’s career, it seems that fate is always arranging the universe so that its favorite son will be in the right place at the right time.


So there you have it. In closing, I would like to request that you please do your best to avoid tin-ear clichés about barbecue, cattle, oil, football, and the Alamo. Remember, this is an urban state of 25 million people. We don’t go to sleep at night dreaming of William Barret Travis drawing a line in the sand. We do admire our rural history, as this month’s cover attests, but our vitality is in the cities. Enjoy your visit, best of luck, and please get it right this time.


Yours truly,

Paul Burka

Wild Thing's comment........

I thought this was a really good write up about Gov. Rick Perry and has a ton of information in it that I did not know before.

We know a lot about Sarah and I thought it would be good to learn more about Gov. Perry.


We will see if they both run for President or only one of them. As of today neither Sarah nor Rick Perry has entered.

CNBC's Rick Santelli: ‘If It Wasn’t for the Tea Party We Would Have Been Rated BBB!’



CNBC's Rick Santelli: ‘If It Wasn’t for the Tea Party We Would Have Been Rated BBB!’

CNBC’s Rick Santelli gives a fiery reaction to Obama and the Democrats’ attempts to blame the U.S. credit downgrade on the Tea Party:

Rick Santelli reacts to President Obama's blame game when it comes to the downgrade of the United States of America's credit rating. Santelli says that if it wasn't for the tea party movement, America's credit would have been downgraded to BBB.

He also responds to the argument that we have a revenue problem by comparing it to if his wife spending 30% more money then telling him to get 2 more jobs.


“Blame the Tea Party? Geez, no wonder Kerry did so well in an election. If it wasn’t for the Tea Party, they would have passed the debt ceiling thumbs up. We would have been rated triple B!”




Wild Thing's comment......

LOL I LOVE Santelli and his passion, he is awesome!

May GOD BLESS RICK SANTELLI!!! He has been a True American Hero!

If this were the days of the American Revolution I bet the liberal Dems would be supporting and feeling sorry for old King George. They would be ranting and blaming the discontents for the sufferings of the war fought to make us free from the bondage of serfdom and taxation. And, after our success they would be faulting the Revolutionary Army and George Washington for having saved this country from tyranny and freeing it for our people, our independence, our growth, and our future.

Small Business Owner Says Obama Should Apologize for Economy ~ A Must See Video!





From Neil Cavuto's program on FoxNews


"The definition of confidence means, 'I can rely'. I can't rely on anything. Everything so far has been a myriad of lies and manipulation and none of it's been true. This is what the business community has been saying for over a year."

Cavuto asks, what are small businesses going to do?: "Why (as a small businessperson) should I take the risk when no one else is taking the risk?...We pay most of the taxes, and you call us what? Why not a 'thank you' note. You want me to hire, you want me to take more risk, you want me to go farther into debt...why should I do that?"

Cavuto asks, what should Obama say if he were to address the nation?: "I apologize! I apologize because I did not lead this country to success. He's the first (president) that I known of to have this (downgrade). He's not going to be known as the first black president. He's going to be known as the president who had a downgrade."

Cavuto says, Obama would argue that he inherited a mess: "He did. Doesn't matter. I inhireit a mess every day as the CEO of a company! That is my job title: to fix problems and get people to work in harmony for one common goal...the common goal is that this country be a safe and secure country...this is the American Dream! What are you doing...get people together, not vacation!"

Rush Limbaugh: "As Far As 2012 Goes, Obama Is Now Debt Man Walking"




"You may not want to admit that this is being done on purpose, but if you sit down and spend just 15 minutes analysing what has happened in the last 2 1/2 years, I don't know how you can come to any other conclusion...As far as 2012 goes, Obama is debt-man walking"


The rest of what he said is here in the COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT:

Obamageddon, Barackalypse Now! Bam is "Debt Man Walking" in 2012


"BEGIN TRANSCRIPT



RUSH: Does anybody now doubt that this is on purpose? I mean, after all, Barack Obama inherits a AAA credit rating from George W. Bush, and look what he does to it. Obama is always running around complaining and whining and moaning about all that he inherited from George W. Bush. Well, he inherited a AAA credit rating, an unemployment rate of 5.7%. Does anybody doubt that this is on purpose? Well, look, my credit rating doesn't suck. There are a lot of individual Americans whose credit ratings aren't in trouble. The United States has never been in this position -- and the next thing that's gonna happen is that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and others are going to be downgraded.

What are the Democrats doing? Blaming the referees! Blaming Standard & Poor's! That always changes the outcome, doesn't it? Blame the refs. You people in Seattle? The Seahawks, Super Bowl, 2005, Steelers? Blame the refs. Last time I looked the Steelers still won the game. So go ahead and blame Standard & Poor's all you want, Democrats. Now they're blaming the military! Barney Frank's blaming the military. Rumsfeld was on our DC affiliate this morning, WMAL. You know our military spending is 4% of GDP right now? Military spending is 4% of GDP. During the Eisenhower administration in the fifties, post WWII, defense spending was 10% of GDP. Today it's 4% of GDP, and Barney Frank and the Democrats are trying to say it's the military's fault that we've been downgraded.

This is the fault of the Democrat Party. Greetings, my friends, I am Rush Limbaugh: America's Anchorman fighting the rising forces of socialism. They want us to believe now that France is better than we are? And of course you can talk about S&P all you want, folks, but the real problem that we've got and the real referee we're dealing with are the loan sharks, and that's the ChiComs. The ChiComs are dictating the terms of this. They are our number one lender; and, you know, ask the banks about what happened when Trump was having trouble paying them back. What did they have to do? If Trump went down, they went down. Well, the ChiComs are in much the similar situation.

This is just so outrageous. Even my old buddy Pete Wehner who worked for Rove in the White House and who has been reluctant... Pete's the epitome of fairness and evenhandedness and so forth. Even Pete, at his Commentary magazine blog today, said this: "It reinforces, perhaps, like nothing else has the impression that Obama is overseeing -- and some respects engineering -- the decline of the American republic." There can be no doubt! It now just takes the courage to admit it. This is why I said, "I hope he fails," because I didn't want to see this happen to our country. I am mad and I am depressed at the same time over what happened to the SEALs in Afghanistan.

Folks, this is not who we are.

This country today, as constituted, is not who we are. Now, sometimes that phrase is incorporated when some actor or Hollywood type will get caught in an embarrassing situation, and while being caught in the act of whatever it is, say, "This is not who I am." Yes, it is who you are. You were doing it! Well, this is not who we are. This legitimately is not who we are. We are not, we were never intended to be a nation in decline. We have a president that's overseeing -- and Pete's right here: Engineering -- the decline of the American republic. I'm glad that somebody is finally starting to echo this. Just like... Snerdley, what year did I do my April Fool's thing, "tax the poor"? That was 1990 some odd, right?

It was the early 1990s, and the whole point -- even though it was an April Fool's joke, the whole point of it -- was that a rising percentage of Americans were not paying taxes, not just the poor, and now we're up to 48% of the American people have no skin in the game, not paying taxes. In 1993, 1994, I, El Rushbo, got the ball rolling with this whole notion of tax the poor -- and even though I did it on April Fool's and as a partial April Fool's joke, of course people fell for it. It was almost as effective as when I endorsed Bill Clinton that day for ten minutes, and then denied it to every caller thereafter. I said, "No, I didn't endorse Clinton." "I just heard you!" "That was in my youth. You can't hold me accountable for things I did in my youth," to try to illustrate what a liar the guy was.


So I'm simply trying to point out here that this is all being done on purpose, and it's tragic, and it just ticks me off. When Barney Frank sits over there and starts talking about how we need to cut defense, he is singing from the ChiCom hymnal. They want us to cut our defense spending, too! Now, contrary to what the Democrats are saying, Standard & Poor's is not saying we're not taxed enough; they're saying we're spending too much -- and I'll tell you something else, and I have written this to a bunch of people over the weekend. Another thing I'm ticked off about is this stupid debt deal. Remember last week on Wednesday, after Obama received the new spending authority in that debt deal we spent $259 billion in one day.

We went $259 billion in debt in one day which was more than the cuts over ten years are gonna end up being in the debt deal. Now, before the debt deal started, before it was signed, I told you the Republicans were operating out of fear.We were told that if we did not sign that debt deal, what? What were we told? Let me ask you. We were told that our credit would be downgraded, that we might go into default, and that the Republicans would be blamed for it. Okay, so we did the debt deal. What happened? Our credit has been downgraded, we haven't gone into default, but the Republicans are being blamed for it, and the military is being blamed for it! So an opportunity to sit there and do the right thing, once again, was squandered because of fear. George Patton wrote a poem in 1945 entitled, "(I am) Fear."

I have it here, and at some point during the program today I'm gonna read it to you as only I, America's Anchorman, can. He was paid $250 by Cosmopolitan magazine, I think it was, to write this poem -- 250 bucks back in the forties -- and it is perfect. Tax the Poor was April 1st, 1991. That's what being on the cutting edge of societal evolution is all about. Taxing the poor. I suggested it in April 1st of 1991, and of course the whole point of it was that a rising tide of Americans were not paying for what they were getting. And of course I was castigated from coast to coast for it. And here we are 20 years later. (interruption) It did make the news! Oh, yeah, it made the national news. Taxing the poor made national news, of course it did.

Now, 20 years comes along and goes by and I understand there are other people out there claiming they are responsible for all the attention to do it now. Fine and dandy, but folks, (long sigh) I can't tell you as a proud, patriotic, heartfelt, God-do-I-love-this-country American, how mad I am at what is being done while everybody sits around and watches it. You may not want to admit that this is being done on purpose, but if you sit down and you spend just 15 minutes analyzing what has happened in the last two and a half years, I don't know how you can come to any other conclusion. In the last two and a half years we've had plenty of time to assess what hasn't been working and change it. Instead, we have doubled down in what hasn't been working.

We have doubled and tripled what hasn't been working. We piled what doesn't work on top of what doesn't work, on top of what doesn't work. The old definition of "insanity" is "doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result." We've got it! We have insanity at the upper levels of our government. So now we know what Obama got for his birthday: A downgrade of our credit rating, probably exactly what he wanted in his heart of hearts. Has he said anything about it? No. What's the market today? Ha! We're down just a measly 304 today. The futures last night had us down 290 at the opening bell. So we're down a measly 304.


So Democrats, let me ask you: Are you happy now? You've finally got your hope and change. I said that I hoped he would fail, and this is exactly what I meant. But, from your perspective, from Obama's perspective, he hasn't failed. He's succeeded beyond his wildest dreams -- and now look where we are. How many of you saw the movie Planet of the Apes? Do you remember how that movie ended? Colonel George Taylor on a beach, Statue of Liberty halfway buried. New York City doesn't exist. Charlton Heston is Colonel George Taylor, "You did it. You finally did it! Damn you all to hell, you did it." That's how I feel today. That's how I felt all weekend long.

Damn it to hell, they did it!


Obamageddon. That's what we have witnessed since Friday. Obamageddon. Barackalypse Now. The only silver lining I can find is that as far as 2012 goes, Obama's a "Debt Man Walking." Anybody want to tell me he's not landslidable now? Let me repeat this as the Media Tweak of the Day: "What we have witnessed since Friday is Obamageddon, Barackalypse Now; and the only silver lining out there is that as far as 2012 goes, Obama's now Debt Man Walking." What's he gonna say? He's gonna make a speech at one o'clock. "We gotta all work together! Construction workers, go out there and rebuild America." Balanced approach? Yeah, balanced approach: Tax increases!

Where has Obama been hiding over the weekend? I know he's been playing golf. Our problem is he hasn't been playing enough golf as it turns out. But how come he's refusing to go on TV and talk about this? Shouldn't he be talking about it, maybe taking a victory lap, spiking the ball in the end zone? The NFL's back; he said he was hoping that would happen. Well, go out there. Go to some team's training camp and spike the ball in the end zone. Obama's managed to accomplish something else that's completely "unprecedented," which is one of his favorite words. This is unprecedented. Our credit rating started in 1917.

This is unprecedented. Instead, the White House is saying Obama won't dignify S&P's downgrade with a response, which just means they haven't been able to come up with one. Christina Romer has, though. She said we've been intercoursed. Our economy's intercoursed. Christina Romer, yeah. I got the sound bite. Grab audio sound bite number five. This Friday night, HBO's Real Time, that idiot, Bill Maher, talking to former chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors Christina Romer about the economy, and Bill Maher says, "How intercoursed are we? I mean, right before the show S&P downgraded our credit rating."


ROMER: Pretty darn (bleep).

MAHER: Ooh.

AUDIENCE: (applause and laughter)

ROMER: I've been hanging around Tim Geithner too long.

AUDIENCE: (laughter)

MAHER: Why? Does he swear like a sailor?

ROMER: Oh, like a seventh grade boy.

RUSH: So our former head of the Council of Economic Advisors is going on a comedy show on
HBO to talk about how our economy is now "intercoursed," and she was one of the former economic team that helped introduce policies that led us to the point where now we're intercoursed. (interruption) What did...? (interruption) Who, Biden did? (interruption) Gore? Oh, I said Gore over the edge? I haven't heard anything about what Gore did, haven't paid any... (interruption) What did Gore do? Cursed us out? Cursed...? (interruption) Who? Cursed us, when you say...? (interruption) Oh, oh, that. Oh, that, oh, that. He's ticked off because we can't talk about the G-D climate anymore. Yeah, well, we beat that back. That's one moment of progress. We've had a AAA credit rating since 1917, all the way through World War I. The Great Depression, we had a AAA credit rating.

World War II, we had a AAA credit rating, and we lose it now, and for what? For what great purpose did we lose it? Except an ideological hatred of American capitalism and a love of class warfare, what did we lose our AAA rating for? A naked effort to get still more and more money to buy votes. A never-ending quest for power, that's why we lost our AAA credit rating. Think about it: Obama's finally managed another major accomplishment on that list he told us he had, that list that he said he'd only done about 70% so far. At long last, Obama and his fellow Democrats have finally been able to convince the world that we are just another country, after all. There's nothing exceptional about us or our economy. For crying out loud, France has a higher credit rating than we do. France! They produce cheese and perfume, for crying out loud.

Senator Marco Rubio: "This Debate Will Continue."






Wild Thing's comment......


Marco Rubio offers his parting thoughts before the Senate’s August recess. He insists this debate of the last few weeks has just begun. It’s about nine minutes long, but worth every second.

Notice how Marco can speak so beautifully, so emotionally while barely referring to notes, but our Commander In Chief, once called the greatest speaker of all time, can’t get through a sentence without his Teleprompter?

Rubio is scheduled to speak at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California during the recess.

A Must See Video Of Sen. Marco Rubio Speaking On Senate Floor Regarding Debt and No Plan From Obama and Dems For 2 1/2 Years!





Sen. Marco Rubio: "Save the Whole House or It Will All Burn Down"


On the Senate Floor Sen. Rubio discusses the debt and engages in a debate with Sen. John Kerry.

“I would love nothing more than compromise — but compromise that’s not a solution is a waste of time.."

Rubio also allowed Democrat Sen. John Kerry to interrupt him with some questions, which he handled with great ease

Rubio hit Kerry’s questions out of the park.

TRANSCRIPT:


Sen. Rubio: “Thank you, Mr. President.

“I rise here on the Senate floor today to speak on the tremendous issue that's captivated, and rightfully so, the attention of our country.

“Let me start by saying that I do not enjoy nor relish the partisan role of attack dog. I never found any fun in that. I don’t think it’s constructive. I don't intend to become that here in the Senate.

“I also have only been here for seven months, which means I haven't been here long enough to think any of the stuff that's going on is normal. And I certainly don't think any of the stuff that goes on around here too often is normal. So I think the fact that I've been here seven months has served me well in that regard.

“Let me begin if I can. One of the things that I’ve noticed this week is that Washington is full of people from all over the world and all over the country that have traveled here this week to come and watch their government at work and see the monuments of the city and found themselves in the middle of this debate.

“So I think it’s important to remind people what we're debating because although it is a difficult and important issue, it is not a complicated one to understand. It’s pretty straight forward.

“And here’s the way I would describe it the United States of America more or less -- these are rough numbers but they’re accurate – spends about $300 billion a month. It has $180 billion a month that comes to the federal government through taxes and other sources of revenue and that means that in order to meet its bills at the end of every month it needs to borrow $120 billion.

“Now, for much of the history of this country, there have been increases in the debt limit and the ability to borrow money. But what has happened over the last few years is that it's no longer a routine vote because the people who give us our credit rating are saying too much of the money that you spend every month is borrowed and we want you to show us how over the next ten years you are going to borrow less as a percentage of what you spend.

“And so that's why, for years, where the debt limit was routine vote, it no longer can be. It’s not something that was made up in some conservative think tank. But the reality that we cannot continue to borrow 40% to 41% of every penny that the government spends has brought us to this point.

“So you would think that seeing that, our government and our leaders here in both parties would react to that immediately and work on it.

“And I've heard lot of talk today about delaying tactics and delaying votes. I would argue to you that this issue has been delayed at least for the last two and a half years.

“In the two years before I even came here, this chamber neither proposed nor passed a budget. It is a startling figure that for the last two years this government has operated without a budget. So think about that. Two years have gone by without a budget. The first two years that the President was the president, no budgets.

“Some people would say, well, that's because of partisanship in Washington. Well, that's not true. In the two years before I got here, both the House and Senate were controlled by members of the Democratic Party, which are the President's party. In fact, in this chamber for at least one of those two years, 60 votes, 60 out of the 100 members here caucused with the Democrats. And as you recall, on Christmas Eve of the year 2009, they were able to pass a health care bill that was very controversial because they had the 60 votes in the President’s party.


“Over two years, no budget. In fact you know how long it has been since this chamber proposed a budget? Forget passed a budget, proposed a budget? 822 days. That’s a long time. A lot of things have happened in the last 822 days, but proposing a budget is not one of them out of this chamber.

“So then I got here – and we got here in January, seven months have passed, still no budget. Again, not budget passed, proposed, offered. Here's our budget. Still no budget. 822 Days and every single day that I've been here.

“Now, in the last seven days on this debt debate, we have finally seen a proposal from the esteemed senator from Nevada, the majority leader. You would think, has he brought it to the floor to vote? Not until last night. So, again, offered a proposal over the weekend and still for six days we sat around and what did we do around here? Nothing. It was never brought to a vote.

“You would think these issues would have been worked on in January, February, March -- nothing. This chamber has done nothing. You talk about delay tactics? They've been delaying for two and a half years.

“Now the President doesn't have the luxury of some of these things. He has to propose a budget by law, and he did. Let me tell you how ridiculous the budget was. Not a single member of this Senate voted for it, including the Democrats. It is a budget that didn't lead with the debt limit; in fact, it increased the debt. That's how absurd the budget was.

“Where is the President plan? We haven't seen it. We haven't seen it. Here's the President's plan: a blank sheet of paper. He doesn't have a plan. He hasn't offered a plan. Again, if this were a Republican president, I would say the same thing.

“I do not understand how an issue of this magnitude, of generational importance, the President of the United States has not offered a plan. If someone has seen the president's plan, please send it to me because no one else has seen it. It does not exist.


“So this has been the plan all along, by the way. The plan all along was not to take a position, to let the days count down until we got to this point with 72 hours to go and then force a vote on something that they wanted. I believe that that has been the plan the entire time. And you can see it carrying itself out.


“You want to know why people all across America get grossed out about politics? It’s by watching this kind of stuff happen.


“And instead let me tell you what we’ve seen for the last few days. First of all, for today and for much of this time I have heard all these attacks and name-calling. If we had $1 billion for every time I heard the words "tea party extremist," we could solve this debt problem.

“So all this name-calling, so I said let me read some quotes about this debt limit and I found some pretty extremist quotes.

“Here's one.


“It says, "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.” A quote from a tea party extremist, right? No. This is a quote from March 16 of 2006 from Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.


“I found another extremist quote. This one says,

"Because this massive of accumulation of debt was predicted, because it was foreseeable, because it was unnecessary, because it was the result of willful and reckless disregard for the warnings that were given and for the fundamentals of economic management, I am voting against a debt limit increase.” Well, that must be from a tea party extremist member of the House, right? No. This is March 16, 2006, from Senator Joe Biden of Delaware.


“And last but not least, here's a quote from September 27 of 2007. It says,

"I find it distasteful and disturbing to increase the debt limit yet again. Clearly we need to change course and this debt limit bill is just another reminder of that." And that is from the distinguished Senator from Nevada, the majority leader. On that date in 2007.


“And yet now these same quotes in this context, what we're talking about raising the debt limit more than has ever been raised in one vote, is extremism? This name-calling is absurd and it sets this process back.


“The other thing I hear -- oh, it is not reasonable. This is a waste of time. This bill can't pass the Senate when they talk about the House bill. So now it disqualifies the bill the fact that it can't pass in the Senate.

“Well, guess what? The Senate bill can't pass in the Senate -- the Senate bill can't pass in the Senate.”

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA): “Will the Senator yield for a question?”

Sen. Rubio: “Yes, I'll yield.”

Sen. John Kerry: “I thank the Senator for doing that. That's become somewhat unusual in the Senate today. So I truly appreciate it.

“I would ask the Senator, as ironic as it may be that on occasion people in the past have indeed voted against a debt limit -- both Republicans and Democrats alike -- is it not true that in those situations those votes did not hold the nation hostage, did not come at a moment of enormous economic fragility as we are in today, and did not run the risk of default because it was going to pass overwhelmingly every time?


“Is that not true?”


Sen. Rubio: “To the Senator from Massachusetts, I would say two things.

“The first is that those votes -- put it to you this way. If the Senator from Illinois at the time, Senator Obama, had had his way, we'd be in the same position we are in now. Because he had voted against the debt – and I recognize the President has now said that the debt limit is -- he made a mistake and he wouldn't have said that were he here today.

“My point, I would say to the Senator from Massachusetts, is that rhetoric two years ago was not considered extremist language and now that rhetoric, which by the way I have not found. I think it is a myth. There may be a handful of people in the building both in the House and Senate perhaps that believe that the nation doesn't have to raise the debt limit. But by and large everyone recognizes that something must be done about the debt limit.

“What we have also said – I speak for myself. Let me not speak for any other member of this chamber or the next.

“What I have also said is that it would be a terrible mistake to lose this opportunity to do something meaningful about the debt. And that the debt limit gives us an opportunity to do something meaningful about the debt, because the crisis that America faces is not one that I have defined.

“But one that has been defined by the rating houses and rating agencies who have said if you do not get your spending in order, we don't care whether you raise your debt limit or not, we will downgrade you.

“And what that means for every American is an increase in their interest payments.”

Sen. John Kerry: “Will the Senator further yield for a question?”

Sen. Rubio: “Yes.”


Sen. Kerry:

“Mr. President I appreciate what the Senator is saying. I would just say first of all that everybody understands the danger of the rating agencies right now.
“The problem is, we got to reach across the aisle and negotiate. We've got to come to agreement. Right now there's not a lot of negotiating going on.


“I would ask the Senator, if he doesn't agree that there is an enormous difference between -- the Senator a moment ago said if he had gotten his way. But the whole point is, everybody knew he wasn't about to get his way. That was a truly symbolic vote.


“Today, however, is it not true we are on the brink of a default and the absence of negotiation or the absence of a settlement presents us with a far more serious consequence to the unwillingness to raise the debt ceiling today?”


Sen. Rubio: “To the Senator from Massachusetts I would say it's impossible to negotiate with someone who doesn't offer a plan. How do you negotiate with someone who will not offer a plan and will not put it on the table?

“But the finger pointing of who has a plan and who doesn't have a plan is relevant, but it's not the central issue here.

“I would also say that in March of this year, March 30 to be exact of this year, I wrote an op-ed piece that ran in The Wall Street Journal and it outlined the things I was looking for to be a part of this debate. And I was told on March of this year that we didn't have enough time to do all those things. Although later on we found out perhaps we did, this grand bargain and I am prepared, as I stand here today, if there is a meeting going on right after this, I'd love to be a part of it.

“I am prepared to discuss the things that I believe we need to do not just to raise the debt limit. Raising the debt limit is the easiest thing. That's one vote away. The hard thing is to show the world we are serious about putting our spending in order so we can show people we'll able to pay our bills down the road.

“And that is a combination of things that I have outlined very clearly, not just on March of this year in The Wall Street Journal, but in repeated speeches on this floor.

“And those are the things, we need to do two things.

“Number one is we need to grow our economy because while the debt is the biggest issue in Washington, jobs are the biggest issue facing America. And if we could get more people back to work, we would have more people paying taxes, and if we had more people paying taxes, we'd have more revenue for government.

“And so that is the first thing we need to do, is figure out how to create jobs in America and I think there is bipartisan agreement on things we can do to do that.

“The President himself mentioned regulatory reform as a necessity in the State of the Union. Let's do it.

“We've all talked about tax reform. Flattening and simplifying our tax code. And if there are things in that tax code that do not belong there because they are the product of good lobbying instead of good policy, then let's go after those things. We’ve talked about that. Let's talk about that.

“I think we all agree that there has to be some changes in discretionary spending, but we also agree that doesn't solve the problem. That's a small piece of our overall budget. That we have to save Medicare because it goes bankrupt if we leave it the way it is. That we have to save Medicaid because it goes bankrupt if we leave it the way it is.

“And I can tell you that history will back up what I'm about to say and that is that there is no government run by conservatives, Republicans, put whoever you want there, if you give government the opportunity to spend more money than it has, it will do it. It will do it every time.

“That's why I believe there are at least 20 members of the Senate in the other party who have supported some version of the balanced budget amendment and yet it's something we cannot even get a vote on much less discuss in the Senate.


“So I believe there can be compromise on those outlines but here's the last thing I would say.

“I believe my time is about to expire so let me close with this.


“Compromise is fantastic.


“I would love nothing more than to leave this building tomorrow night having said the republic still works. I was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with people from states far from mine with views different from mine but who love their country so much that we were able to come together and save it when it faced this catastrophe.


“I would love nothing more than compromise. But I would say to you that compromise that's not a solution is a waste of time.


“If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down.


“We either save this country or we do not.

“And to save it, we must seek solutions.”

President G.W.Bush To Be In NYC To Mark 10th Anniversary Of 9/11

Bush to be in NYC to mark 10th anniversary of 9/11

NEW YORK

The ceremony at the World Trade Center site marking the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks will be a solemn but stately event that will include former President George W. Bush and a chance for victims' families to view the names of loved ones etched into the memorial, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

President Barack Obama and Bloomberg will be joined by the leaders in charge during the 2001 attacks, including Bush, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former New York Gov. George Pataki. Current New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will also be there, he said.

Speaking on his weekly radio show Friday on WOR-AM, Bloomberg said the lawmakers will read short poems or quotes. No speeches will be given.

"This cannot be political," he said. "So that's why there's a poem or a quote or something that each of the readers will read. No speeches whatsoever. That's not an appropriate thing."

The mayor also revealed a few more details for the ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 11. It will be held on the highway to the west of the site, and only relatives will be allowed inside the memorial to look for the names of their loved ones, etched into the railings at two huge waterfalls built in the footprint of the World Trade Center.

Rep.Paul Ryan Responds To Defense ‘Cuts’: ‘Let’s Pass A Bill To Cover The Moon With Yogurt’ ~ Good One!



Conservative star Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) ripped Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for the fantasy savings in his budget plan.

Let’s pass a bill to cover the moon with yogurt that will cost $5 trillion today. and then let’s pass a bill the next day to cancel that bill. We could save $5 trillion.”

Transcript:


Rep. Paul Ryan took the House floor today to rail against what he considered “accounting tricks and budget gimmicks” by those attempting to carve out a budget that reduced spending. Among those, he explained, were the supposed “cuts” to defense spending that cut from predicted future spending in Iraq and Afghanistan, which he argued were not any different than repealing a bill proposing to “cover the moon with yogurt.”
Introducing to the debt crisis lexicon what is perhaps its catchiest potential meme yet, Rep. Ryan explained that much of the “spending” cuts proposed were counting money not yet necessary to spend. Many of the assumptions, Rep. Ryan explained, in the proposed cuts were, to him, complete fiction:

“We assume we’re going to be fighting this war for 10 more years, with over 100,000 troops in Afghanistan and oh, gosh, wait, we’re going to withdraw our troops in 2014. $1 trillion in savings. I’ve got a better idea. Let’s pass a bill to cover the moon with yogurt that will cost $5 trillion today. and then let’s pass a bill the next day to cancel that bill. We could save $5 trillion. Wait, I’ve got a better idea. Our debt is $14 trillion. Let’s come up with a new plan to spend $14 trillion, then rescind it the next day and let’s save $14 trillion. This stuff is fiscal fantasy. You can’t make this stuff up, Mr. Speaker.”


“We can’t keep spending money we can’t have,” he continued, emphasizing that the money that the proposal on the floor claimed to save was not money that anyone should expect to be spent at any time. “Why on earth do we want to give the President a blank check to keep doing that, giving our sovereignty and self-determination to other countries to loan us money to fund our government? Those days have got to end,” he concluded. The point may be a serious one of Congressional contention, but expect that “cover the moon with yogurt” analogy to take the express route into GOP talking points.

We really do have a lot of awesome conservatives in office. And we will get rid of the RINO's each time they come up for their next election. I pray this happens!!!

Speaker John Boehner's AWESOME Speech He Gave Just Before The Vote On His Debt Limit Bill






Speaker Boehner gave a passionate awesome speech. I LOVE his being on fire and he needs to know we want this fire and not only once and awhile but all the time. He was telling off the freak in the WH and Reid and the rest of the dems and was great!


The House passed Speaker of the House John Boehner’s bill.The vote fell along party lines at 218-210, with 22 Republicans voting against the bill.




.




Rush Limbaugh today telling conservatives, “I want to tell you how damn proud I am of you,” for putting pressure on the “inside the beltway” conservative leadership in Congress, resulting in the addition of a “Balanced Budget Amendment” provision to the “Boehner Plan.” Limbaugh has led the charge – along with Mark Levin and Sean Hannity – to not accept the “Boehner Plan as put forward yesterday. Boehner has now revamped the plan to gain additional votes by adding a provision for a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Thank you Rush and thank you Speaker Boehner. I LOVE that speech he gave so much, full of passion and fire. He has done this before but way too long in between. The last time was during the freaking obamaDEATHcare he held up the huge stack of pages and gave an awesome speech then too.

GOP Watches Ben Affleck's "The Town" to Rally Behind Debt Plan Then Schumer Becomes Cry Baby!




GOP watches Ben Affleck's "The Town" to rally behind debt plan

CBS News


Even before the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said House Speaker John Boehner’s debt plan may cut less in spending than it initially promised, selling the plan to conservative Republicans was proving to be a challenge.

In an attempt to rally their Tea Party-backed conservative members, Republican leaders opened a Tuesday morning meeting with a clip of the movie “The Town,” the Washington Post first reported.

The 2010 flick is about Boston bank robbers, and the scene that House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., played to the House GOP caucus depicts two characters about to go beat people up.

In that scene, Ben Affleck’s character says, “I need your help. I can’t tell you what it is. You can never ask me about it later.” In its reporting, the Post left out Affleck’s next line: “We’re gonna hurt some people.”

The character played by Jeremy Lee Renner replies, “Whose car we takin’?”

After viewing the clip, Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., replied, “I’m ready to drive the car.”


West’s office confirms that the Tea Party-backed congressman did give that spirited reply and still backs Boehner’s deficit reduction plan.


.



LOL Schumer is all upset. hahaha ~ Wiild Thing

"In the scene they chose to inspire their House freshmen, one of the crooks gives a pep talk to the other, right before they both put on hockey masks, bludgeon two men with sticks, an shoot a man in the leg!" Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said today. "Literally, in the movie the protagonists say, "people are going to get hurt," but they have to go ahead and do it anyway. Ladies and gentlemen, this is your House majority."




.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I do have to say I really admire and love the way Allen West gets how much we need strong people to save our country. I love his take no prisoner attitude he has on the things he believes in. He really stood up for Israel and I was so proud of him. and he has stood up for a lot of other things that needed to be said too.


One more thing I guess we are not alllowed to take breath without permission from the democrats. I have had it with them all of them including their president.

Bring on the movies like this and let the democrats wet their pants in fear, I could care less. They continue to bash, slander, lie about Republicans and their idiot brain dead voters believe their lies.

I have to tell you, when I bought my first computer it was during the Bill Clinton regime. I wanted to be able to go to varioius forms online and post information about Clinton I could find and stand up for America. So I have been in my own very small way fighting back against Democrats for a long time and I have hit the wall when it comes to having enough of their crap. They are defending a man ( obama) that is out to destroy our country and all of us.

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan and Rep. Allen West Supporting Boehner's Bill




GOP Rep. Paul Ryan making the case for supporting House Speaker John Boehner’s bill to raise the U.S. Debt Limit, and cutting spending by more than the Debt Limit is being raised.

Ryan said the bill is not all he or other GOP leaders want it to be, but it is far better than anything envisioned when they started the process. It does not have tax increases, and it requires spending cuts that more than equal the amount the Debt Limit is being increased.

Ryan thinks the Democrats are blustering about the Boehner Bill being dead on arrival in the Senate because they don’t want any House Democrats to vote for it. Ryan believes if the House passes the Boehner bill in an expected vote tomorrow, it does have a good chance of passing in the Senate, and that Obama would have to sign it.

Rep. Allen West Supports Boehner’s Plan; Calls It the “70-75% Solution”


Congressman Allen West tells Neil Cavuto that he supports John Boehner’s plan even though it’s not 100%. West said, “We can sit around and we can kvetch about coming up with the 100% plan, but we’re wasting time. I believe this is the plan that gives us the 70-75% solution.”




.

This is taken from Speaker Boehner's website


BOEHNER SAYS NO BLANK CHECK FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA:

“Listen, it’s time to do what is doable, and this bill isn’t perfect. … That’s what happens when you have a Democrat-controlled Senate and a Democrat in the white House. This bill was agreed to by the bipartisan Senate leadership, and we believe we can get this on the president’s desk, and make it law. Listen, we’re not going to give him a $2.5 trillion blank check that lets him continue his spending binge through the next election. That’s not going to happen.”

BOEHNER: THIS IS OUR BEST OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD THE PRESIDENT’S FEET TO THE FIRE:

“I think what people want is Cut, Cap, and Balance. It’s what I want. The House passed it last week. The Senate demonstrated they can’t pass it. At this point in time we’ve got to find a vehicle that will pass that will insist the cuts in spending are bigger than the increase in the debt limit. … The path we’ve been on here for the last four days I think is a reasonable path that will solve the problem, that will begin the process of the making the tough decisions that need to be made to cut spending here in Washington. … The plan we have got on the table is the best opportunity we have to hold the president’s feet to the fire. He wants a $2.4 trillion blank check that lets him continue his spending binge through the next election. This is the time to say no.”

Texas Congressman: Obama Administration Continue To Ban The Word God At Funerals Of Heroes



FOX News Radio

Texas lawmaker is calling for a Congressional investigation of the Houston National Cemetery after he went undercover and determined that cemetery officials are still preventing Christian prayers at the funerals of military veterans.


“The Obama administration continues to try to prevent the word ‘God’ from being used at the funerals of our heroes,” said. Rep. John Culberson (R-TX). “It’s unacceptable and I’m going to put a stop to it as fast as humanly possible.”

Culberson told Fox News Radio he attended a burial service at the cemetery under cover on July 8 where he said volunteer members of the honor guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars were prohibited from using any references to God.


“The Obama administration had told the nation and me they were not interfering with the prayer said over the graves of veterans,” he said. “And I went undercover to personally verify that claim.”

V.A. officials have strongly denied they’ve banned any religious speech — and have offered support for Arleen Ocasio, the cemetery’s director.


Culberson said the commander of the honor guard was told to by cemetery officials to approach a grieving widow to reconfirm that she wanted the word God mentioned at her husband’s graveside service.

“He quite correctly said as a Texan and a man of honor and integrity, ‘I’m not bothering that poor woman at this most terrible time of her life. We’re going to do the ritual,’” Culberson said. “Right in front of me, the V.A. directly and deliberately attempted to prevent the VFW from doing their magnificent, spiritual ritual over the grave of this fallen hero.


The cemetery is already the focus of a lawsuit filed on behalf of the VFW, an American Legion post and Houston’s National Memorial Ladies. They claim the V.A. banned members of the organizations from using the words “God” or “Jesus” at burial services. They also allege they were banned from reciting prayers or using religious language during services unless families approved the text in advance.

Culberson, who oversees the sub-committee responsible for funding the cemetery, said that he wants the cemetery director fired – and he’s willing to do whatever possible to make sure that happens.

“The cemetery director has to leave,” he said. “I will zero out her salary. If she attempts to work for the VA anywhere in the state of Texas her salary will be zero.”


“It makes my skin crawl that liberals are attempting to drive prayer out of a funeral ceremony for our heroes,” Culberson said. “We’re going to fix this so that no Obama liberal bureaucrat will interfere with the funeral of a hero.”


Culberson said he hopes to hold hearings on the cemetery in the fall.

“It makes my skin crawl that liberals are attempting to drive prayer out of a funeral ceremony for our heroes,” he said. “They will bury 10 to 20 American heroes today and the Obama administration is preventing prayers from being said over their gravesites – today.”



Wild Thing's comment........

Very glad to see Culberson going after this cemetery director like he is and anyone else caught lying about this should be fired. And I hope Rep. Culberson gets Arleen Ocasio fired asap!!


“I will zero out her salary. If she attempts to work for the VA anywhere in the state of Texas her salary will be zero.”

Culberson's good idea to stop paying Arleen Ocasio's salary she is vile and on direct orders from obama.

Thank God for Republicans, I am so sick of democrats destroying everything in our country.

Response From House Speaker John Boehner





House Speaker John Boehner responding to Obama’s address to the nation on the Debt Limit.

Boehner spoke briefly, but effectively. He made it clear there would be no increase in the Debt Limit without accompanying spending cuts. Boehner explained that Obama rejected the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” bill passed by the House, saying Obama has been unwilling to “take yes for an answer.” Obama wants a “balanced approach,” Boehner said, which means, “We spend more, and you pay more.”

Obama “wants a blank check today,” Boehner said. “This is just not going to happen,” he stated.


Boehner made it clear that Obama is desperately trying to keep from dealing with the nation’s debt, and that it is on him if no debt limit increase is signed.



Wild Thing's comment........

For the life of me I can't understand how anyone would still think Obama is a good president or would want him to stay in power.

Obama blamed Bush, tax cuts and “unpaid for” wars in his presidential address. It was the same speech we’ve heard a hundred times

Boehner gave a good response. I just want him be as strong as he knows we all keep asking him to be and not give in.

Obama is the one keeping this whole thing going. Obama is the one that will NOT to any cuts in spending. This is all at the feet of Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Republicans Have Passed A Budget, and Passed a Plan to Raise the Nation’s Debit Ceiling Also Cutting Spending – Only to be Rejected by Obama






House Speaker John Boehner speaking forcefully on Fox News Sunday, where he blasted Obama and the Democrats for not having yet put forward any kind of plan to deal with the nation’s debt. He said Republicans have passed a budget, and passed a plan to raise the nation’s Debit Ceiling while also cutting spending – only to be rejected by Democrats.

John Boehner Blasts Obama for not presenting any plan on debt limit; “The House has Done Its Work. We’ve Passed a Budget. We’ve Passed a Plan”

“The GOP must protect the country from what the president is trying to orchestrate… GOP must stop him.”


“There was never any plan from the White House. The whole plan came from us. We laid out the framework. At some point, they’ve got to lay their cards on the table.”


.


FOX News


Obama invited Minority Leader Pelosi and Harry Reid to the White House for meetings Sunday night. Democrats have still not released their own debt plan.

Unable to find common ground, Republicans and Democrats worked Sunday to prepare separate fallback plans for raising the debt ceiling as they tried to provide some assurance to the global financial markets that the country will not default on its obligations.

Party leaders were huddling in their respective camps late Sunday as they weighed what can reasonably be accomplished before an Aug. 2 deadline.

“This is about what is doable at the 11th hour,” House Speaker John Boehner told “Fox News Sunday.”

As Boehner hosted a conference call with House Republicans, the White House invited House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid to the Oval Office for a meeting Sunday evening.

Back-channel talks have been rocky all day, and a Senate Democratic aide told Fox News that while those talks continue, Reid is now working on a separate fallback proposal. The plan would call for at least $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction — without revenue increases — and would extend U.S. borrowing authority until 2013. This would fulfill a White House demand that the debt ceiling be increased to last through the next election.

However, Boehner said Sunday that he wants a two-stage process. While he would not publicly detail what that entails, others have said it involves roughly a $1 trillion debt-ceiling increase now, coupled with commensurate spending cuts, and another set of votes early next year.



Wild Thing's comment........

I just keep thinking if we had a conservative as president even with only one of the Houses majority Republican, this whole mess would not be happening. It would have been done correctly back when it was supposed to be done.

And of course there would not be any Geithner (no tax payer) in charge of anything.

GOP Readies New Debt Ceiling Plan; Bill Set For Sunday ~ Community Organizer Obama On His Own Has NO Plan He Can Think Of




House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is set to call the Democratic Party’s bluff on the debt ceiling. The Ohio Republican, in a briefing with his conference on Saturday, announced that he would press for a short-term deal, with major spending cuts paired with longer-term deficit-reduction strategies, as a way around the current impasse.


That strategy puts the speaker directly at odds with the White House and allied Democrats, who have insisted for weeks that they would not support a short-term extension of the debt ceiling. The president went so far as to dare House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to test his opposition to a temporary deal during a tense meeting more than a week ago.

GOP Readies New Debt Ceiling Plan; Bill Set For Sunday

Washington Examiner


House Republicans are set to release their two-part plan tomorrow.( Sunday)

House Republicans are finishing work on a new proposal to resolve the standoff over the debt ceiling. The proposal, set to be finished and crafted into the form of a bill by Sunday, will be in two parts. The first will combine a short-term increase in the debt ceiling with spending cuts. The second will lay the groundwork for a longer-term increase in the debt ceiling coupled with far-reaching deficit reduction.

“Senator Reid said on Friday that he is going to wait for us to move,” says a well-informed GOP House aide. “So we’ll move.” Another well-informed aide confirmed the basic outline of what’s happening.

Staff of the House Rules Committee is involved in the work, which is an indication that the process is nearing completion. Before any bill can be considered on the House floor, the Rules Committee must first pass a rule setting out the process for its consideration. Once the proposal is finished, it would likely be posted on the Rules Committee website, probably no later than Monday, so the committee could meet to consider it on Tuesday and it could be on the House floor by Wednesday.

Work on the new proposal was underway before negotiations with the White House blew up on Friday. Sources say the plan was being created last week, even as the House leadership devoted considerable time to passing the “Cut, Cap, and Balance” proposal. Once the Senate Democratic leadership blocked “Cut, Cap, and Balance,” House leaders stepped up work on the new proposal. Right now, the new direction is believed to be the only way forward. “McConnell-Reid is just not a viable option in the House,” the aide says, referring to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s complicated proposal to allow the president to increase the debt ceiling.

Rush Limbaugh On Rep. LTC Allen West: "he is a brilliant man, and he's a good and decent man......"



This video is Rep. Allen West on FOX : "Not A Chance" I'll Apologize, Wasserman Schultz Is Still A Liar & Not A Lady



.



And this from Rush Limbaugh:


...."the House does have that understanding that members are not to be called out. She did it, and West replied. You know, West is a tough guy, and he is a brilliant man, and he's a good and decent man, and he has served in the US military. He's gone up against people far tougher than Debbie "Blabbermouth" Schultz, and so he fired back. This is not the first time she said this stuff about Allen West. She says it all the time in south Florida. It's the first time she said it on the floor of the House. So what did she do? She ran like a little crybaby to all these other left-wing women of the Democrat Party to help her out, and they start returning fire that West is the racist and West is the sexist and so forth. "

Rep. Wasserman Schultz 'vile...despicable...not a Lady'



After Rep. Allen West left the House floor yesterday , lying leftist hack Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz attacked him and lied about the Republican plan. A disgruntled Allen West sent out this response to the vile DNC chair.


Politico:

Florida GOP Congressman Allen West yesterday dispatched an email to Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, calling her "vile, unprofessional ,and despicable," "a coward," "characterless," and "not a Lady."


Wasserman-Schultz, in whose neighboring South Florida district West lives, provoked his tirade with remarks after he left the House floor today, in which she responded -- without naming him -- to the Tea Party freshman's support for "Cut, Cap, and Balance" legislation to raise the debt ceiling.

"The gentleman from Florida. who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries, unbelievable from a Member from South Florida," Wasserman-Schultz said, saying the legislation "slashes Medicaid and critical investments essential to winning the future in favor of protecting tax breaks for Big Oil, millionaires, and companies who ship American jobs overseas."


Allen West's email:

From: Z112 West, Allen
Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 04:48 PM
To: Wasserman Schultz, Debbie
Cc: McCarthy, Kevin; Blyth, Jonathan; Pelosi, Nancy; Cantor, Eric
Subject: Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman-Schultz

Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!


I am bringing your actions today to our Majority Leader and Majority Whip and from this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior……which dates back to the disgusting protest you ordered at my campaign hqs, October 2010 in Deerfield Beach.


You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!

Steadfast and Loyal

Congressman Allen B West (R-FL)

Wild Thing's comment........

Gosh, he is so awesome. Bewteen Allen West and Marco Rubio and some others America just might have a chance to recover from Obama and the left's destruction.

West just drew the line in the sand....good for him!..And he sent this to the Democrates..Pelosi and the whole bunch! Wonderful to see one of ours take the lead and hopefully the softer Republicans will take the hint.


Thanks, Congressman West...you speak for REAL Americans.

Here is something else he said the other day:


his website


In his latest weekly update to constituents, U.S. Rep. Allen West, calls the debate over the federal government’s debt limit “the ultimate ideological clash in America…between those who believe in principled fiscal policies and those desiring the socialist bureaucratic nanny-state.”

He rips President Obama‘s handling of fiscal affairs and the economy and offers this critique of Obama’s supporters:
“I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.”

Fantastic! GOP Sen. Marco Rubio Is Outstanding on Sunday's CBS News’s “Face the Nation” with Bob Schieffer ~ A MUST SEE VIDEO!!



“OK, so where’s the plan? Where’s the president’s plan? I’ve never seen a piece of paper with the president’s name on it that’s his plan to solve this crisis. I’ve seen press conferences. I’ve seen lectures that he’s given to the Congress. I’ve seen these press avails where the camera comes in and takes a bunch of pictures. I haven’t seen a plan. Where is the president’s plan?“

Marco was just too much for Obama-apologist Bob Schieffer.

Wow this is outstanding GOP Sen. Marco Rubio getting into a testy back and forth with CBS News’s “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer today. Rubio was taking it to Barack Obama for his failure to lead on the Debt Ceiling issue, and for his failure to turn the U.S. Economy around. Schieffer then began defending the Obama Administration, sounding much more like a Democrat shill than the anchor of a major Sunday Interview Program. Schieffer blamed the current economy “on the previous administration,” to which Rubio responded, “When does it start getting better, Bob?” Rubio made it clear Obama has offered no plan of his own, and has seemed to want this “crisis” to unfold. Schieffer repeatedly sought to defend Obama, and was clearly frustrated by Rubio.

Rubio said he would not support Sen. Mitch McConnell’s plan to give President Obama authority to raise the Debt Limit. He said the problem is not “the debt limit” – it’s the debt.”



Wild Thing's comment........

Marco Rubio is soooo good. Rubio absolutely blew him away.

Clear,Concise,Confident and factual. What beautiful presentation.

House Turns Off Incandescent “ban” By Voice Vote ~ God Bless Them! Stay Strong Against The Environmentalists Nazi's!





Politico


House democrats on Tuesday blocked Republican efforts to repeal their job-killing light bulb ban. The democrats’ plan was to ban 100 watt incandescent bulbs in the US markets in January 2012, with bans on lower wattage bulbs to follow.

The democrats didn’t care that their plan would give hundreds of US jobs to China.

Republicans came back on Friday morning and blocked federal light bulb efficiency standards without even a roll call vote.


An amendment from Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) defunding the Energy Department’s standards for traditional incandescent light bulbs to be 30 percent more energy efficient starting next year was approved by voice vote.

The move by Republicans wasn’t just wise, it was popular. 67% of American voters oppose the bulb ban and support Republicans on this issue.


.


Wild Thing's comment........

I am thrilled at what our side did. THRILLED!!

The day the light bulb nazis decided it was THEIR right to tell us how to light our homes, rather than ours was the day this country went from being in trouble to being in danger.

If our side can stay strong on this and somehow get the Senate to pass it iand then keep obama from doing his veto crap on it, maybe they can finish putting it through the rest of the way when we get a Conservative in power and more elected in the Houses.


Our government needs to at least give we the people the freedom to have a choice in what we want to use, not this dictatorship coming from the enviro's. GRRRRRR!!! Only the government would force people to purchase light bulbs with poisonous material in them.

Allen West Speaks On Obama Using Intimidation and Scare Tactics






Allen West on Obama: Real leaders don’t use intimidation and scare tactics


Allen West says that Obama does not have the moral high ground on these debt limit negotiations because every one of his economic policies have failed and that it’s only because he has run up record deficits that we are now at this critical point. He says that Obama needs to understand that it’s his job to prioritize spending so that Social Security checks will go out and we don’t default.

House Speaker John Boehner Says “No Deal” to Obama’s Higher Taxes Debt-Limit Push



House Speaker John Boehner Says “No Deal” to Obama’s Higher Taxes Debt-Limit Push

The Daily Caller


News is out tonight that Speaker of the House John Boehner has essentially said “No Deal” to President Obama tonight on negotiations that would increase taxes as part of plan to raise the nation’s debt-ceiling and lower the deficit. Obama has been pushing for raising taxes, and Boehner has apparently told him he won’t be part of such a deal:

House Speaker John Boehner essentially walked out of debt limit negotiations with President Obama Saturday night. He cited an impasse with the White House on the size of the debt reduction package.

After abandoning talks, Boehner issued a statement saying:


“Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase.”

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is scheduled to meet at the White House Sunday to further discuss a deal to raise the debt ceiling to avoid defaulting on the nation’s debt. (Obama puts Medicare, Social Security cuts on the table)




Wild Thing's comment..........

Stay strong Boehner, don't let this terrorist lover in our WH get his way.

Senator Marco Rubio:"We don’t need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed" ~ Marco Is Great!


“We don’t need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. Then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said on the Senate floor.





Here’s the actual clip from Rubio in full, queued at 5:32 to start where he begins to give this speech which ends at the 11:00 mark:

Rush says that Republican leadership is talking about loop holes and revenues when they should be urging the President to live within a Congressional budget by not raising the debt limit and asking the President to make the needed cuts as painless as possible. But then he plays a clip by Marco Rubio which to date must be his best moment in the Senate. Rubio quickly gets to the root of the problem by saying that the real problem is jobs and that by fixing that problem we begin to fix everything else including debt and revenues. He adds that if the President wants to raise revenues, Republicans agree and they should move to help create an environment where people will create jobs. That’s how you solve the problem and that’s how you frame the argument.




Wild Thing's comment......

Marco has been doing such a good job. Being one of the many freshman in D.C. He is stood out and thank God for Marco and Allen West for talking a stand when they could just sit back and take it all in being freshmen they are not letting any of that intimidate them. They went to D.C. to speak for we the people and I am grateful!

Rep. Allen West and his Weekly Wrap-Up




Rep. Allen West lists 15 potential grievances against the Criminal in Chief.


Rep. Allen West and his Weekly Wrap-Up 7-4


Dear Patriot,

Greetings to our constituents, fellow Floridians, and to all Americans. It is once again time for our weekly update.

During this time period I have done some extensive traveling. I returned from a 72-hour visit to Doha Qatar (Combined Air Operations Center) and Afghanistan this past Tuesday evening, 26 June. I can humbly state that in my first six months of being in Congress, I have spent more time in Afghanistan than our Commander-In-Chief in his first three years.

We released our Afghanistan summary report which you can link to by clicking here. Feel free to review and share with others. Ours was the first CODEL (Congressional Delegation) visit after the President's speech on Afghanistan troop reductions.

As I sit here typing this missive, I am pondering the 235th birthday of the longest running Constitutional Republic the world has ever known; the United States of America. I went back and re-read the Declaration of Independence, which was written 235 years ago by a young Thomas Jefferson. What many perhaps do not realize, is that the Declaration of Independence not only set forth a new ideal for government and challenged the status quo of aristocratic and sometimes autocratic monarchies, it contained a list of grievances justifying why, "in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another... that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation."

Here are examples of some of these grievances from the Declaration of Independence:

"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless suspended in their Operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."

"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People and eat out their Substance."

"For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments."

"For imposing Taxes upon us without our Consent."

Now, I just started to consider, what if Thomas Jefferson were sitting with me right now this weekend and assessed what our Constitutional Republic has become under this Obama administration. What would he outline as the potential "grievances" as he did 235 years ago?

Since Mr. Jefferson cannot use Microsoft Word, he dictated these grievances to me:

He has enacted a fiscal disaster called the stimulus package of some $900B which increased the national debt and did not keep unemployment in America under 8%. It resulted in a reported unemployment topping at 9.8%. For the black community, which supported him by overwhelming numbers, an unemployment rate between 14-16%.

He has proposed raising taxes during a weak economic recovery which would adversely affect long term sustainable growth. He has proceeded to seek increase of capital gains, dividends, and estate taxes. He has not considered reducing the corporate/business tax rate of 35% in order to incentivize private sector growth. He has promoted a widening chasm and divisiveness in America due to his incessant class warfare rhetoric.

He has nationalized several aspects of free market production in the automotive, financial, and healthcare industries in violation of the principles of capitalism and free enterprise.

He has signed into law a healthcare vision which creates 11 new taxes (one of these taxes to be a tanning tax), 16,000 new IRS agents, $500B in cuts to the MEDICARE program, 159 new government agencies and bureaucracies (to include a 15 member panel of bureaucrats which shall regulate the expenditures of MEDICARE), mandated individual American citizens to purchase a private sector commodity (which is not supported by the Commerce Clause), and has provided nearly 1400 exemptions to political cronies from adhering to the law he signed.

He has increased the federal debt by some $5T since taking office and due to historic levels of excessive spending, created record deficits of $1.42T, $1.29T, and $1.65T in just three years. He has seen 41 cents of every dollar being borrowed and 47% of the federal debt owned by foreign nations.

His proposed FY 2012 budget was voted down in the Unites States Senate, 0-97.

He has expanded a "dependency" class in America reflected in a 41% increase in food stamp recipients.

He has failed to produce a full spectrum energy independence resource development program while seeing average gas prices during his tenure go from $1.89 to a high water mark of approximately $3.81. He has inappropriately commanded the release of strategic oil reserves and provided the country of Brazil $2B for its offshore oil exploration.

He has created a shadow government of some 35+ individuals termed "Czars" who are not confirmed by the United States Senate and respond only to him, yet have overarching regulatory powers- a clear violation of our separation of powers concept.

He has increased the regulatory burden on American business through bypassing the legislative process with his executive branch agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.

He has supported an inept and incompetent Attorney General who has failed to prosecute voter intimidation cases (New Black Panther party), initiated a dangerous gun-smuggling program (Operation Fast and Furious) - which resulted in deaths to our own law enforcement agents, and refused to uphold a law, DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).

He has failed to take the steps necessary to secure our borders and stem the flow of illegal immigration, termed as "repel invasions" in our United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 8 and Article 4, Section 4; and brought a federal lawsuit against a sovereign state seeking to protect its citizens from this threat.

He has violated the War Powers Act of 1973 and sought to redefine the term "hostilities" to suit his liking.

He has telegraphed troop reductions to our enemies- against the consult of his experienced Field Commanders, while embracing negotiations with our enemy, the Taliban, and recognizing another, the Muslim Brotherhood.

He has placed the security of our most trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel, in danger while increasing funding to the Palestinian Authority (Fatah, just another Islamic terrorist group) whilst they have enjoined a reconciliation pact with long- standing terrorist group, Hamas.

In conclusion, Thomas Jefferson simply stated that, in his humble assessment, the unalienable rights endowed to us by our Creator; life, liberty, and the pursuit (not guarantee) of happiness- are being threatened. He offered his analysis that this current government, the Obama administration, as instituted by the American people, has abridged the consent of the governed and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

So the 235th anniversary celebration of American Independence message to President Barack Hussein Obama, and his liberal progressive cronies, is simple: "You must go!"

Legislative Update: The House was not in session, therefore, no legislative update.

Highlights of the Week: Besides visiting with our men and women in Afghanistan, I attended the First Baptist Church of Ft. Lauderdale 4th of July celebration services. I was reunited with my former driver in Iraq, SGT Robert Delgado and we discussed the meaning of sacrifice. I participated in several Independence Day celebrations in South Florida, but most important was the "Wade-In" 50- year anniversary on Ft. Lauderdale Beach, reflecting on a period in our community's history when Edna Johnson and a few others challenged the beach segregation policy. And here I am, with the honor, 50 years later, of being the Congressional Representative of Ft. Lauderdale beach. America is exceptional!

Steadfast and Loyal,

Allen

I love Allen's passion and how he never gives up or gives in. He just keeps hitting hard.

God bless him big time.

A Statue Honoring President Ronald Reagan In London As A Tribute To His Presidency





This is a video report on a statue of former President Ronald Reagan was dedicated today in London as a tribute to his Presidency, and the role he played with Great Britain’s Margaret Thatcher in bringing down the Iron Curtain, and winning the Cold War. A truly great gesture, and one that is well deserved for President Reagan. Reagan joins Dwight Eisenhower, and Franklin Roosevelt as U.S. Presidents with statues in their honor in London.

A 10-foot bronze figure unveiled outside the US Embassy in London to mark 100 years since his birth.


London AP

Ronald Reagan was hailed as "a great American hero" Monday as his admirers unveiled a 10-foot-tall (3-meter-tall) statue of the former U.S. president near the American embassy in London.

Condoleezza Rice, national security adviser and secretary of state in President George W. Bush's administration, joined British Foreign Secretary William Hague at the morning ceremony in Grosvenor Square.

"Statues bring us to face to face with our heroes long after they are gone," Hague said "Ronald Reagan is without question a great American hero; one of America's finest sons, and a giant of 20th-century history. You may be sure that the people of London will take this statue to their hearts."


Hague also brought a message from former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Reagan's staunch ally, whose frail health has made her public appearances very rare.


"She has asked me to say these words to you: Ronald Reagan was a great president and a great man - a true leader for our times," Hague said.


"He held clear principles and acted upon them with purpose. Through his strength and his conviction he brought millions of people to freedom as the Iron Curtain finally came down."


A few days before Condoleezza Rice was in Prague on Friday as the Czech capital renamed a street in Reagan's honor, and she was in Budapest on Wednesday for the unveiling of a statue of Reagan.

These are among several events this year marking the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth on Feb. 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois.

I bet Obama and company are squirming.

Rush Limbaugh in Joplin,Mo. Showing Support For Their Rebuilding



.



Here is raw video (you can hear Rush but not really see him in the cell phone video) from Joplin, Missouri last night.


Limbaugh was in Joplin to deliver ice cold bottles of his new line of teas –
Two if by Tea” – in honor of the way they are working together as a community to rebuild following the devastating tornado that hit in May. Limbaugh praised their spirit of rugged individualism and the hard work they are doing to rebuild. Limbaugh chose Joplin as the winner of the contest to receive the tea after receiving many letters from his listeners suggesting Joplin be the winner.

Rush pledged to keep the spotlight on Joplin as they rebuild.


"Those of you from Joplin, Missouri, you are the essence of what the founding fathers had in mind...You represent the best this country has to offer"


Rush Limbaugh in Joplin, Missouri at the 'Freedom Fest' celebration. Joplin also received a giant semi of 'Two if By Tea.'




.

Wiild Thing's comment.......

This is great that Rush did this. He was born in MO. and after the horrible Tornadoes they had there and all the destruction, this July 4th was such a wonderful positive encouraging thing to happen. God bless and give strength to those living there.


More about Rush's Two If By Tea:

Two If By Tea™ is a proud sponsor of the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation and will donate a minimum of $100,000 to MC-LEF beginning in June 2011.


The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation is certified as one of America's best charities and provides assistance to the children of United States Marines and federal law enforcement personnel who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country.


This Foundation was formed in February of 1995, under the belief that our nation's most precious resource is its youth. The recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have certainly illuminated America's commitment to freedom. We are reminded that freedom is not free. The price is great. No one knows that better than the left-behind sons and daughters of America's fallen heroes. Through the continuous support of donors, the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation has distributed aid with a value of more than $50,000,000.00 to eligible children.

Congressman LTC Allen West Talks About Sacrifice




The finale of a church's "Faith, Freedom and Fireworks" celebration on Sunday had the feel of a political convention, with indoor fireworks and a choir belting out "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as red, white and blue confetti filled the air.

Fort Lauderdale’s First Baptist Church held its annual ‘Patriotic Celebration’ to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The church invited U.S. Representative Allen West to this year’s event to talk about the sacrifices the men and woman in uniform have made and continue to make as they protect out freedoms abroad. Many of you may be aware of Lt. Colonel Allen West’s own act of heroism and sacrifice when he gave up his body armor to a young soldier who lacked adequate protection during Operation Desert Storm- that particular body armor subsequently saved that soldiers life after he was shot in the chest.


The host of the event cut off Congressman West as he was about to tell the story and surprised him with someone else who could recall the story from his own personal perspective. Great video!

Senator Rubio Talks Budget & Debt On Senate Floor ~ Good For Rubio! Obama Is Mass Destruction!


In fact, Rubio said Obama’s comments amounted to “class warfare,” and was, “the kind of language that you would expect from the leader of a third world country, not the President of the United States.”








GOP Sen. Marco Rubio speaking on the Floor of the U.S. Senate Thursday where he blasted President Obama’s statements at a recent Press Conference as “disappointing.” In fact, Rubio said Obama’s comments amounted to “class warfare,” and was, “the kind of language that you would expect from the leader of a third world country, not the President of the United States.”


Rubio went on:


“The bigger problem, though, is maybe the President fundamentally doesn’t understand how jobs are created. Politicians don’t create jobs. U.S. Senators don’t create jobs. Sen. Johnson pointed out jobs are created by everyday people from all walks of life that start a business or expand an existing one. And our job here in Government is to make it easier for them to do that – not harder. Threatening to raise taxes, threatening to wage class warfare does not accomplish that purpose.

Here’s what I would suggest to the President. I would suggest that we have done this before as a people in America. Things like a simpler tax code – people around here are in favor of tax reform. A simpler tax code, a manageable and sane regulatory environment, and of course, a Government that doesn’t spend money it doesn’t have. These things have worked before, and they will work again. I urge the President to lead us in that direction.”




.


Wild Thing's comment......

Rubio got it EXACTLY right, and I hope he understands that to be a rising star that continues to rise, he’ll have to be this blunt. This is not the time in our country to speak softly no matter how big the stick. It is a time to speak out loud and clear of the destruction of the left and then give an answer to taking our country back.

I know it would never happen, but can you imagine a debate between Marco and Obama. OMG that would be awesome to see Marco and his paasion for America and Obama trying to keep up with all his non-answeres and his threats and arrogance. Marco would leave Obama in the dust.

The same if it were Sarah Palin or Allen West. They would have the same effect on Barack Hussein Obama.

GOP candidate Herman Cain reminds voters what this election is all about. This is three minutes of must see video.

I love Herman Cain's passion, it reminds me of Sarah Paliln and also Allen West. Both of them have passion for saying what has to be said. And Cain is clear about what has to be done and what we need to do.


Of course the left will call him an Uncle Tom , just like that did with Clarence Thomas. The left has been calling Herman Cain names for years, even back when he stood up to Clinton on Hillarycare. He joked that he kept a list in his radio studio wall.


Here is something to go along with the video above:


Herman Cain To Speak At July 4 Philly Tea Party Event


"Herman Cain has chosen to spend Independence Day not in Iowa or New Hampshire but in front of Independence Hall where it all began."


Herman Cain is joining Ambassador John Bolton, talk show host Dom Giordano, businessman Joey Venuto and former Highlands, N.J. Mayor Anna Little as speakers at the 2011 Energy Independence Day Tea Party to be held 1-3 p.m., July 4 at Independence Mall, 5th and Market streets, Philadelphia.


"By joining us at Independence Mall this year, these statesmen are also recognizing the significance of our Tea Party theme," said Teri Adams of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association which is sponsoring the event along with the Cherry Hill Tea Party and the Diamond State Tea Party.

Music will be provided by the 286 Band.
The event is free although an after-party featuring soft drinks and hor dourves will cost $20. Reservations are required. Call 215-690-4043.
He made his name on the political scene by being instrumental in the defeat of the Clinton health care proposal in 1993.


Cain has a Philadelphia connection in that he managed the area's 400 Burger King franchises for Pillsbury in the 1980s taking the region from the least to the most profitable for the parent company within three years.

Texas Republican Congressman Ted Poe Calls For Termination of Obama’s Appointee Houston National Cemetery Director Arleen Ocasio ~ Good For Poe!!



Veterans Allege VA Censoring Prayer: MyFoxHOUSTON.com


Local veterans say the Department of Veterans Affairs is consistently censoring their prayers, banning them from saying the words “God,” and “Jesus” during funeral services at Houston National Cemetery.

Three separate organizations have come forward complaining the cemetery’s director and other government officials are violating the First Amendment. Members from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion and the National Memorial Ladies all complain of “religious hostility” at the cemetery.


Arleen Ocasio


A 26-page complaint outlines the allegations. According to the court papers, the cemetery’s director, Arleen Ocasio, bans the word “God” and requires prayers to be submitted for government approval.

“We were told we could no longer say “God bless you” and “God bless your family,” said Marilyn Koepp, a volunteer with the National Memorial Ladies.

The group attends about 60 funerals a week to honor veterans and console families.

Yesterday Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) called for the termination of Houston National Cemetery Director Arleen Ocasio.

Houston News

Congressman Ted Poe (TX-02) on Wednesday, June 29, sent a letter to the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, DC, and issued the following statement in response to recent allegations regarding religious discrimination by the Director of the Houston National Cemetery:

“I am deeply troubled by the allegations that were brought to my attention when I met with members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) in Houston,” said Poe. The director of the Houston National Cemetery, Arleen Ocasio, allegedly has engaged in aggressive hostile censorship of religion at the second largest cemetery for veterans in the United States.


“The First Amendment is a sacred right of all Americans, especially those who have honorably served — and given their lives — in the name of protecting the United States. Denying their families their constitutional right to the free exercise of religious freedom is disgraceful and shows blatant disrespect for America’s veterans. If these allegations are true, I formally call for the termination of Arleen Ocasio as the director the Houston National Cemetery. This display of authoritarian behavior and religious discrimination should not be tolerated.”


LIST OF ACCUSATIONS

1) Director Ocasio and other Cemetery Officials instructed Veterans of Foreign Wars District 4 to remove prayers from its burial rituals and to no longer utter remarks when handling the discharged shell cases from the rifle salute to the family of deceased veterans.

2) Cemetery Officials instructed American Legion Post 586 to remove prayers from its burial rituals.

3) Director Ocasio told the National Memorial Ladies that it could no longer include “God Bless” in its condolence cards or speak a religious message to veterans’ families.

4) Director Ocascio shut down the Cemetery chapel; it is now a “meeting facility.”

THANK YOU to Congressman Ted Poe.

" Actions Speak Louder Than Words, Mr. President " ~ Great Ad From The NRSC





This is the new National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) ad that destroys Obama with his own words. The ad plays audio of Obama’s arrogant attack on Congress for not “leading” and cutting out time off to get a deal done on the debt ceiling crisis. While audio of Obama’s self-righteous words is playing, images of Obama playing ping pong, drinking beer, playing golf etc. are flashed on the screen. It points out that Obama has played 76 rounds of golf during his 2+ years in the White House, taken 48 days of vacation, and held 149 fundraisers.

It concludes with the statement on the screen: “Actions speak louder than words.”

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is the official political committee established by Republican Members of the United States Senate to help Republican candidates develop the campaign resources they need for the 2012 elections.

News On Republican Candidates Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain





Michele Bachmann Announces 2012 Presidential Bid

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann announced her presidential candidacy from Waterloo, Iowa. Bachmann says,

"Don't mistake my happy memories of growing up here in Waterloo, Iowa as pining for the past. I recognize, it's impossible to turn the clock back and to go back to a different day. Instead, I want this moment to serve as a reminder of the best of who we are as a nation and of what our values are, and what it is to make America great. To recapture its best for the promise of the future. I want my candidacy for the presidency of the United States to stand for a moment when we the people stand once again for the independence from a government that has gotten too big and spends too much and has taken away too much of our liberties."


Bachmann said she is running because she is “profoundly grateful” for the blessings she has received from God and from living in this great country.

She also said she is running because the nation “cannot afford another four years of Barack Obama” as President. Bachmann declared, “We can win in 2012, and we will win.”

At this point I am not going to pick anyone. But I did want to share her official announcement and what went on with Cain and Juan.

Michele and Cain are both conservatives so that I am very pleased about. It is just to early to go all out for anyone yet. All I can feel right now is my anger at Obama and I long for someone to really hit him hard in this election. And then also win against him too of course.

U.S. House and Senate Republican Leave Budget Talks After Dems Insist on Job-Killing Tax Hikes ~ GOOD! The Democrats ONLY Want To Tax More!



The Wall Street Journal


U.S. House and Senate Republican negotiators said they were pulling out of the bipartisan budget talks headed by Vice President Joe Biden for now because the group has reached an impasse over taxes that only President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner could resolve.

The breakdown was not entirely surprising because, from the start, Democrats have insisted some form of new revenue or tax increases be part of the eventual solution, given the goal of reducing the projected growth in the federal deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years. At the same time, Republicans have been equally firm in rejecting any tax increases. Both sides had a political incentive to resist compromise as long as possible in talks closely watched by their political base.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.), in an interview after a negotiating session he described as bitterly contentious, said he would not be attending Thursday’s scheduled meeting of the bipartisan deficit-reduction leadership group. Mr. Cantor said he believed it was time for the negotiations to move to a higher level.


“We’ve reached the point where the dynamic needs to change,” Mr. Cantor said. “It is up to the president to come in and talk to the speaker. We’ve reached the end of this phase. Now is the time for these talks to go into abeyance.”
Journal Community


An aide to Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) also said the lawmaker was withdrawing from the talks. The two have been the GOP representatives in the negotiations for the last six weeks.

“The White House and Democrats are insisting on job-killing tax hikes and new spending,” Mr. Kyl said in a statement. “That proposal won’t address our fiscal crisis, our jobs crisis, or protect and reform entitlements.”


Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has been sounding an increasingly strident message of opposition to including any tax increases in the budget deal.

I am so proud of Eric Cantor and any of them that stand against the dems!!! All Obama and the dems want to do is tax and stimulus packages.

President Ronald Reagan Sound Bites from 1980 Resonate Across the Fruited Plain




President Ronald Reagan - Liberty State Park




.



RUSH: I want to revisit one more time, Ronaldus Magnus and his reigniting his campaign against Jimmy Carter in 1980 at the Statue of Liberty on September 1st, and this is important. (I'm gonna leave Jon Huntsman out of this time; it's not the point.) The whole Republican Party needs to wake up and understand what's at stake here and how to go about it. We have enough destruction taking place here. To sit here and simply say, "To be nice about this, under the guise of civility, isn't going to get the job done." When you got somebody that's causing great problems, this is how you campaign against them...


REAGAN: The Carter record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten. His answer to all this misery? He tries to tell us that we're only in a recession, not a depression, as if definitions -- words -- relieve our suffering. Let it show on the record that when the American people cried out for economic help, Jimmy Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it's a definition he wants, I'll give him one: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his!

SUPPORTERS: (cheers and applause)

RUSH: And finally, sound bite 28. There's this...

REAGAN: I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. Carter in debate, confronting him with the whole sorry record of his administration -- the record he prefers not to mention. If he ever finally agrees to the kind of first debate the American people want, which I'm beginning to doubt, he'll answer to them and to me.

SUPPORTERS: (applause)

REAGAN: This country needs a new administration with a renewed dedication to the dream of America, an administration that will give that dream new life and make America great again.


RUSH: That's how you do it.

The Republican Leadership Conference






The video above is the complete speech by Gov. Perry.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry Speaking to the Republican Leadership Conference

In his speech, Perry spoke soaringly of the ideals that America was founded upon, and what has made America great. He urged the crowd to join him in doing whatever it takes to turn the tide of Barack Obama’s runaway spending, runaway interfering, and runaway unemployment.

Perry described the simple economic principles he has followed during his 10 years as Governor of Texas – principles that have result in Texas leading the way in job creation – creating 48% of all the jobs created in America over the last two years:

1. “Don’t spend all the money.” 2. Keep the tax burden low. 3. Reduce regulation on business, and make needed regulations consistent, fair, and predictable so businesses and job creators know what to expect from quarter to quarter. 4. Reign in frivolous lawsuits through lawsuit reform that protects businesses from devastating attacks. He cited the recent passage of “Loser-Pay” legislation as an example of such reforms.


But Perry did more than just give a 3-point plan on the economy. He got at the fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives, between Democrats and Republicans, between Barack Obama and – Rick Perry. Perry cast the 2012 Election as the great decision of the American people about whether an ever-growing, more centralized and intrusive Federal Government knows best, or whether individual Americans know best.

“Our opponents on the left are never going to like us, so let’s stop trying to curry favor with them,” he said, before imploring the crowd to “stand up. Let’s speak with pride about our values. Let’s stop this American downward spiral.”


He acknowledged later with a smile, “I’m preaching to the choir here."


Perry also warned that unless the “runaway train of ObamaCare” is stopped before 2014, it will break and destroy state budgets around the nation with its burdensome requirements. Perry forcefully called on conservatives to stop apologizing for standing up for the most vulnerable among us – the unborn. He clearly is seeking to bring together strong conservative stands on social issues and fiscal issues.

When he finished, the crowd was on their feet chanting, “Run, Rick, Run!”


.


Rep. Michele Bachmann speaking at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans where she slammed President Obama’s radical Environmental Protection Agency for seeking to tell Americans how to live their lives.
Bachmann particularly underlined a bill she has introduced to allow Americans to buy whatever light bulb they want to buy! She pledged: “President Bachmann will allow you to buy any light bulb you want in the United States of America!”




.


Here is a brief video clip of Herman Cain speaking in New Orleans today at the Republican Leadership Conference. Cain told the cheering crowd, “I have a dream.”

He went on:

“In fact, I have two dreams. The first dream that I have is that in November 2012, conservative Republicans are going take back the House and the Senate. I have a dream. I’ve got another dream for 2012. That dream is that you are looking at the next President of the United States of America!”

Wild Thing's comment........

There were many others that spoke and the conference lasted for three days.

Each of these three had a lot of highlights of their speeches and especially Perry who was excellent. His is the only one I could find that had the complete speech.

Ron Paul Wins Straw Poll, Huntsman Places Second ~ Good God No Way!





Ron Paul Wins Straw Poll, Huntsman Places Second

Daily Caller


Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul walked away from the Republican Leadership Conference Saturday with another straw poll victory. Paul received 612 of 1542 votes cast, just under 40 percent.

Paul’s campaign characterized the result as a “shockwave” in a message emailed to supporters after the vote.

That shock was palpable in the ballroom of the Hilton Riverside Hotel when Paul’s numbers were announced, with a wave of boos rippling throughout the crowd. The emcee declared, “I’m just the messenger” as Paul’s remaining backers fought back by cheering and clapping.

By the time the remainder of the results had been read and Paul had been confirmed as the winner, the jeering returned, as Paul’s voters on the floor clapped and cried out their candidate’s name. Although Paul’s supporters overflowed into the hallway Friday, most were absent for Saturday’s proceedings.

One Paul supporter, who declined to provide his name, told The Daily Caller that he was “a little disappointed” by the behavior exhibited by some of the supporters of losing candidates.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who spoke Friday, came in third place with 191 votes. Also at the weekend conference were Herman Cain, who scored 104 votes, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who received 69 votes, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who won 30 votes.

Perhaps an even bigger surprise than Paul’s win was the second-place finish by former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman. Huntsman placed second with 382 votes despite skipping his scheduled appearance Friday, citing health issues. Gov. Mitt Romney, who beat Paul by one vote in a straw poll held here a year ago, came in fifth with 79 votes.

One potential candidate who was not on the straw ballot, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, spoke to a welcoming crowd. Many present were hoping that Perry would announce his own run for President during his address, but it did not happen.


.



Wild Thing's comment......

These are caucus polls, meaning whoever can stack the most people in an auditorium, will win.

Another useless and irrational RLC poll – none of which has EVER been even CLOSE to predicting the actual candidate.


By again voting for Ron Paul, the RLC attendees disgrace and embarrass the REAL conservative movement, which is committed to having candidates that can actually WIN A NATIONAL ELECTION, yet remain true to conservative principles and ideals.

Last Nights Debate in New Hampshire


Debate in New Hampshire tonight was a study in how not to put on a debate. The way the debate was structured was very disjointed, with questions bouncing all over the place, and only a few candidates getting to respond to any one question. That makes it very difficult to differentiate between the candidates. CNN’s John King, from the moment he asked a question, was often muttering in the background to try and get the candidate to stop talking! It was incredibly annoying.




.




Cain/Romney/Gingrich on muslims in government




Wild Thing's comment.......


The candidates need to continue to hammer away at obama and take on a take no prisoner attitude. This is the survival of our beloved country and there is no time to waste. obama is a steam roller of destruction.

0bama is pure evil and our very lives depend on his ouster.


The moderator was John King and he was beyond horrible, totally impatient and rushed for quick replies, giving more time to the person asking the question then those answering . Also OMG he kept doing a low level grunt that his mic was picking up and he would do it while the candidates were trying to answer his questions. John King’s constant background interruptions were ridiculous as were his stupid choice questions. Unbelievable! Audience bio’s time and stupid questions time, but rush the candidates and grunt into your mike througout their answer.


If the GOP can grow some balls, and continue to make ads using Obama’s words against himself, we might have a chance.But again it depends who the candidate is as well.

New Hampshire Republican Debate Tonight



Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu and former New Hampshire Sen. John Sununu preview the CNN New Hampshire debate.



Airtime is 8pm Eastern time on CNN


Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum will participate in the June 13 debate on the campus of Saint Anselm College.

This is the first time that Bachmann, Gingrich and Romney will appear in a 2012 presidential debate. The event is being sponsored by CNN, WMUR and the New Hampshire Union Leader. CNN Chief National Correspondent/Anchor John King will moderate the debate with journalists from WMUR and the Union Leader participating in the questioning.

Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson was not invited to the first New Hampshire debate of the Republican primary on June 13.

“I respect the right of CNN and the other sponsors of the June 13 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary debate to apply their own criteria and invite who they choose,” Johnson said in a statement Friday. “It is, however, unfortunate that a significant segment of the Republican Party, and more importantly, millions of independent voters who might be Republican voters, will not have a voice on the stage in Manchester.”

Some that were invited will not be there. Jon Hunrtsman and Sarah Palin was also invited but said no.
Huntsman decided to take a pass on the debate, saying that he is not yet an official candidate and still putting the finishing touches on his potential campaign.



Wild Thing's comment........

LOL I liked how Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said you need more experience then being a community organizer. heh heh a hit at Obama.......... and then he said about Huntsman he said he only supports Republicans. tah dah ! hahaa

Texas Gov. Rick Perry Invites Governors to Prayer Rally August 6th in Houston

Perry Invites Governors to Prayer Rally


FOX News Dallas, Texas


AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Rick Perry has invited the nation's governors to join him in a prayer day to seek God's guidance to deal with the problems facing America.

The day for prayer and fasting is planned for Aug. 6 in Houston and is sponsored by the American Family Association, a Christian advocacy group. The organization's website says the event is intended to be a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer service.


Texas Governor Rick Perry is putting together for August 6 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium. It is being called, “The Response,” and it will be a massive rally to call the nation to seek God’s guidance through prayer to deal with the economic and moral crisis facing America. Perry has invited the nation’s 49 other Governors to attend, and is partnering with the American Family Association in organizing the event. Perry said in a statement:


“Fellow Americans,

Right now, America is in crisis: we have been besieged by financial debt, terrorism, and a multitude of natural disasters. As a nation, we must come together and call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles, and thank Him for the blessings of freedom we so richly enjoy.

Some problems are beyond our power to solve, and according to the Book of Joel, Chapter 2, this historic hour demands a historic response. Therefore, on August 6, thousands will gather to pray for a historic breakthrough for our country and a renewed sense of moral purpose.

I sincerely hope you’ll join me in Houston on August 6th and take your place in Reliant Stadium with praying people asking God’s forgiveness, wisdom and provision for our state and nation. There is hope for America. It lies in heaven, and we will find it on our knees.

Sincerely,

Rick Perry

Governor

President G.W. Bush Nearly Hit In Head By Foul Ball At Baseball Game





“Obviously, I knew (the former president) was there,” Pierzynski said. “When I saw the ball go up, I actually thought I had a chance to catch it. I was going to reach around. I needed about another foot and then I realized I almost jumped in the president’s lap. It was funny. I had Nolan Ryan and George W. Bush sitting within 5 feet of each other.”

“I told him just ’cause he was the president doesn’t mean I wouldn’t jump on top of him. He and his wife got a good chuckle out of it. It was a light moment.”

That was funny and I loved how George and Laura were laughing about it and having a good time.

An Arrogant Newt Gingrich On Greta van Susteren Show Re: Tiffany’s He Says "not playing Trivial Pursuit" and Then Compares Midwest To N. Korea








Greta van Susteren last night where he was trying to do damage control for his comments about Paul Ryan’s Medicare Plan and his support for at least a “variation” on the “individual mandate” in ObamaCare.

But Greta asks him here about a report that he had a bill of between $250,000 – $500,000 at Tiffany’s in New York. Gingrich refused to answer Greta’s question as to whether he had such a large bill and if he had paid it.


Gingrich said he would only talk about issues that matter to the American People, and would not talk about something like that. “I’m not playing Trivial Pursuit.”


At the very end of the segment, Greta said she would love to come out to Iowa and follow him around on the campaign trail if he would allow it.


Gingrich responded with, “It’s not quite North Korea, but come and see what it’s like in the Midwest.”


Oh my. It might be important to know that Greta just returned from North Korea. That’s the context of why Gingrich made the remark. Otherwise, if people don’t know that, Gingrich just compared the Midwest to North Korea !!


Also Newt Gingrich told Greta Van Susteren that he called Rep. Paul Ryan and apologized.

“I made a mistake. And, I called my friend Paul Ryan today and said that.”


.

We already have arrogance in the White House, we don't need another four years of it. Lecturing Greta on how to do an interview, sheesh!

Rep. Allen West on Plan to Cut Energy Costs, Create Jobs



Rep. Allen West on Plan to Cut Energy Costs, Create Jobs

The price of gas has more than doubled since President Obama took office, West said the administration isn't doing enough to lease areas for drilling offshore and on land. Today, the Florida Congressman pumped gas for commuters at a station in Palm Beach to promote more drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, saying it would eventually bring down prices.


.


Rush Limbaugh says it is an obama ploy and I agree!!!!

"So you have Obama saying he wants to ramp up US oil production by extending existing leases and holding more frequent lease sales, but then the EPA has to approve 'em. EPA can dillydally, EPA can disapprove them, EPA can not take action, but Obama's gotten himself on the right side of the issue with words. So this does not mean we're gonna get more oil. It just means Obama is out saying things that he knows people want to hear, 'cause I'm telling you: It has to be that the internal White House polling on Obama's reelect is bad. Don't doubt me. I will believe more oil drilling when he removes the moratorium. I will believe more oil drilling when I see rigs come back to the Gulf of Mexico."~ Rush Limbaugh




.


Wild Thing's comment........

Obama knows like Rush said about the EPA and we will see but I doubt anything obama has said now will change anything and he knows it. He probably just wanted to get those two courts off his back that were threatening him if he did nto start to let the oil companies drill again.

Congressman LTC Allen West Responds To Obama's Horrible Remarks In Texas







Allen West on Obama "I can't stand the guy"

This was said by West in his response to what obama had said in Texas.

Obama says

Republicans will "never be satisfied" by the amount of border protection he has ordered, even as the border is more dangerous than ever. "Even though we've answered these concerns, I've got to say i suspect there's still some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time. You know, they said 'we needed to triple the border patrol.' Well, now they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol, or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."

Huckabee:" I Will Not Seek the Republican Nomination for President" ~ Thank God!




Mike Huckabee said that he would not be joining the race for 2012. After deep personal reflection over the past few months, he recently realized “All the factors say go, but my heart says no.”


He said that his original concerns about raising the necessary funds to be competitive or being able to win in states outside the South were answered when signs of strong financial support materialized and polls showed him winning in states like Pennsylvania, Maine and New Jersey.

This decision was spiritual, not political for him and he sought clarity from Jesus Christ in order to make it. In the end, Huckabee said, “My answer is clear and firm. I will not seek the Republican nomination for president this year.”


.


Wild Thing's comment........

If you’re a Republican, this is the year to run. Either we win this time, or it doesn’t very much matter what happens in the future. We have to get obamacare repealed. And it is NOT an election for wimps, we need strong, take no prisoner attitude imo, someone that will speak up about what obama really is to the public and not mince words about it.


I am not interested in a man that sat on a bench with Pelosi and said what Newt did about Global warming.

I am not interested in a man that has had his own version of obamacare in his home state ala Mitt Romney.


This is all so scary, because this election will save our country or throw it the rest of the way to the hungry socialist Marxist enemy within.

Awesome!!! Congressman LTC Allen West To Office of Management and Budget Administrator Daniel Gordon: If you can’t answer our questions then why are you here?





Politicizing Procurement: Will President Obama’s Proposal Curb Free Speech and Hurt Small Business?

On Thursday, May 12 at 1:30 pm, the House Small Business Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a joint full committee hearing entitled Politicizing Procurement: Will President Obama’s Proposal Curb Free Speech and Hurt Small Business? The hearing took place in room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building.

This hearing examined the proposed Obama Executive Order (“EO”) mandating the disclosure of political donations by government contractors as a prerequisite to receiving a government contract, and evaluate its impact and consequences upon the federal acquisition system. Specifically, the Committees was concerned that this proposed EO will inject politics into the procurement process, violated political free speech rights, and usurp the legislative power of Congress.




Wild Thing's comment.......

The EO under discussion clearly has no other purpose than to identify the political affiliations of gov contractors BEFORE they are hired. Unacceptable! The purpose of this executive order is to force political contributors to reveal their identity so that they can be attacked.


This man Gordon is saying that contributions will not be a criterion - but he is lying through his teeth. And Allen West does such a beautiful job showing the world just how much a liar Gordon truly is.

Lt. Col. Lakin Freed To Focus On Family And Career



Here's the first interview with Lieutenant Colonel Terry Lakin after his early release from Fort Leavenworth prison. The interview aired on America's Web Radio yesterday ( 5/13/2011 )


.

Lakin freed to focus on family and career

wnd


Dr. Terry Lakin was released today from Ft. Leavenworth, where he served almost six months of prison time for refusing orders over his doubts about Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, and told WND that he is going to focus on his family first, then his church and medical career.

In comments via telephone shortly after his release, Lakin, a lieutenant colonel in the military, told WND that he also remains dedicated to the Christian ideals on which the United States was founded.

Lakin declined to respond to military orders because he was denied answers to his questions about the legitimacy of Obama's presidency. He then was court-martialed after the judge decided she would not allow him to present his arguments or his witnesses.


Questions during the brief interview were restricted by Lakin's advisers because of the pending status of an appeal of the military court's decision, as well as a request for clemency that remains unaddressed.

His release came after a standard reduction in time for good behavior.


Lakin's contention was that Obama may be ineligible, and therefore his orders would be illegal. He had pleaded through his chain of command for answers to his questions, but was refused.


After Lakin had served most of his sentence, Obama released an copy of a "Certificate of Live Birth" suggesting a Hawaii birth for the president. But analysts have criticized it as fraudulent and critics noted that the image revealed Barack Obama Sr. as his father, and since he never was American, argue that it simply proves Obama's ineligibility.

They say the American founders were influenced by Emmerich de Vattel's Law of Nations, in which a "natural born citizen" is defined as a citizen born of two citizen parents on the nation's soil.


Under that definition, Obama is disqualified from eligibility for the presidency because of his Kenyan father.

The action fund, which generated support for Lakin's family during his incarceration, also has planned a welcome back for Lakin when he returns to Baltimore.

In a statement on the action fund website, officials described how Lakin was allowed to cash out his $40 prison account today and was taken by van to a park-and-ride in eastern Leavenworth.

"We hand Terry a netbook running Skype so he can talk to his family. The children are home waiting for his call. Pili [Lakin's wife] appears on the screen with a huge smile. 'Come here kids, your dad is on the phone!' Holly, Jack and Andrew rush over. Jack, the 3-year-old, takes over the screen making faces and laughing."

After a call to his parents, Lakin was on the line with WND.

He said getting back to his family is the "most important thing right now." Then is getting established in "a good Christian church near our house."


Then comes "taking care of my medical career."

He said while he was incarcerated, he found a great deal of encouragement from the cards and "uplifting letters" that fans sent, sometimes at the rate of 30-40 per day.

"People were sending me pictures of their families, telling me about their concerns," he said. "I tried to make it the most positive experience I could. It was an experience for self-reflection on my Christian faith."


He said he also read a great deal, starting out with "The 5000 Year Leap," which he found on a shelf the first day he worked in the library.


He also studied "Liberty and Tyranny." He also read the writings of Chuck Colson, Lee Strobel, C.S. Lewis and John Eidsmoe.

He was enlightened by his stay.

"I love medicine and want to remain in medicine," he said. "But I now see another group that needs medical services."

He said he feels he was able to help inmates at the prison, through teaching math and English classes, working with the chapel program and providing a voice of influence that other inmates perhaps might not have.

"I'm just kind of amazed where we lost track in the history lessons I had growing up of how firmly based our Founders were in Christianity," he said. "They wanted to maintain freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."

While he was incarcerated, Lakin remained under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but was allowed to post online a series of observations he's made while serving his time.

Lakin also earned the support of several prominent, high-ranking, retired officers during his battle, including Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely and Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney.


Kerchner had noted that Lakin, before publicly challenging Obama's eligibility to serve as president under the Constitution's "natural born citizen" requirement – an issue that remains unresolved – had gone through every available channel seeking resolution.

"Terry had been questioning Obama's eligibility for over two years, and not only did he go to his elected representatives; he used a formal path available to soldiers, filling out a form or writing a letter, to request a congressional inquiry," Kerchner told The Post & Email at the time.

"If a soldier is having some issue with the military chain of command or for any reason feels that he has been unjustly treated, there is the Article 138 where you can directly ask your senior chain of command about it. He also filed another form or letter to request a congressional inquiry; he requested more than once that an investigation be done about Obama's eligibility because as an officer, he had sworn an oath to the U.S. Constitution. He had great doubts that Obama was eligible, and he wanted them to investigate, and they didn't even answer him," Kerchner explained.

"The Congress did nothing. Terry, as a soldier, had a further right to one, and he didn't even get an answer. For example, if you allege that your commanding officer is mistreating you, Congress investigates those allegations. Terry asked for a congressional inquiry because no one in his chain of command was answering his questions, and they didn't answer him. He felt he was being unjustly treated and ignored by his chain of command in their not addressing or answering his questions about the eligibility of Obama to be the commander-in-chief and president," he said in the lengthy interview with Rondeau.

President Bush Declines Invite From Community Organizer BC Challenged Obama To Go To Ground Zero ~ Good For Bush!!!!





Bush declines NYC invite


President George W. Bush has turned down President Barack Obama’s invitation to join him at ground zero on Thursday, citing his desire to avoid the media glare.

“President Bush appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight,” Bush spokesman David Sherzer told POLITICO in an email Tuesday night. “He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror.”

Obama — who has sharply criticized Bush for neglecting the hunt for bin Laden by invading Iraq — made the offer to Bush shortly after he decided on his New York trip, according to two people familiar with the situation.


Obama, who last visited the site as a presidential candidate in 2008!

Wild Thing's comment.........


So glad GW said NO. Obama would just use him and especially after all the blame Bush from obama, too much for too long.

What still gets me is how obama goes there now and has not been there since 2008 during his campaign. He is soooooooooooooooo horrible.

Mitt Romney : "... we're going to have to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck"





ROMNEY: "Ronald Reagan came up with this great thing about the Misery Index? And he hung that around Jimmy Carter's neck and that had a lot to do with Jimmy Carter losing. Well we're going to have to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck.


And I'll tell you, the fact that you've got people in this country really squeezed with gasoline getting so expensive, with commodities getting so expensive, families are having a hard time making ends meet. So we're going to have to do talk about that, and housing foreclosures and bankruptcies and and hire taxation. We're going to hang him with that so to speak, metaphorically, with, uh, you have to be careful"

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stumbled into controversial territory Friday night at a forum for potential presidential candidates here, suggesting that Republicans “hang” President Obama with a so-called “Misery Index.”

Romney, an all-but-declared presidential contender, was answering a question at an Americans For Prosperity event about what he would do to curb rising gas prices when he suddenly found his way into -- and then quickly out of -- the verbal gaffe.

“We’re going to hang the Obama Misery Index around his neck,” Romney told a crowd of conservative activists, before saying: “We’re going to hang him with that, so to speak.”
Apparently realizing his choice of words, Romney paused, and added “metaphorically.”
“You have to be careful these days,” he said.Romney's reference to the “Misery Index,” was, as he acknowledged, a throwback to a term that then-presidential candidate Ronald Reagan used to describe public discontent about economic conditions during debates with incumbent President Jimmy Carter during the 1980 election.

"It is not what the governor meant and that was very clear in what he actually said," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul told ABC News



Wild Thing's comment......

Donald Trump in Vegas: 'Our leaders are stupid'






Donald Trump in Vegas: 'Our leaders are stupid'


AP


Real estate developer Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of profanity in a speech at a boisterous Las Vegas casino as he assured a crowd of adoring supporters Thursday night that he is seriously weighing a presidential run and will make a decision soon.

During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation’s leaders.

Donald Trump blasted the stupid people in the Obama Administration last night at an event in Las Vegas. The businessman also said had a few choice words for OPEC and China.


“Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people,” he said. “It’s just very, very sad.”


The setting was fitting for the casino mogul whose moniker is draped across the gold-tinged Trump International Hotel & Tower just off the Las Vegas Strip. An open bar greeted more than 1,000 people, waiters passed hors d’oeuvres and a Trump impersonator entertained the crowd…


…He said he wouldn’t help struggling nations such as South Korea or Libya without payment and promised to use swear words while negotiating with China.


“I’m not interested in protecting none of them unless they pay,” he said.





Wild Thing's comment.......

We may or may not agree with everything Trump says. But what I do like is how he speaks up and I hope the rest of the politicians will see that we reacted VERY positive to Sarah Paliln as well, because she spoke up even while McCain the rino was trying to silence her.

Unlike Photo Op Obama With Our Troops, President Bush Honors Commitment to Wounded War Heroes



.

President Bush Honors Commitment to Wounded War Heroes

News West 9


TERLINGUA--The heroes of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom are trained to never give up until the fighting is done. For the wounded, that fight continues long after they come back home.

As a sign of his commitment to these brave men and women, former President George W. Bush joined them on the Warrior 100 bike ride.

"So I just finished a ride with men and women, who served our country and lost a limb or were seriously injured and decided not to give up, recovered and rode across the desert," President Bush said.

14 U.S. servicemen and women may be been left physically broken, scarred and changed for life by their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, it was because of their grit, honor and fortitude that the former president joined them on the Warrior 100, a 100K mountain bike ride through Big Bend.

"I'm riding as hard as I could possibly ride and I look over my shoulder and there's a one legged guy, barely breathing. If you're having a problem out there, just think about some of these guys who had real problems and decided to do something about it," President Bush said.

These heroes were total strangers when they met on Monday. That doesn't mean they didn't already have many things in common.

"(That's) all I can say, really. It's an honor to be out here with him. I respect the man, greatly," Retired U.S. Army SFC Dylan Beard, said, while choking back tears.

According to Retired Army SSgt, Kevin Butler, "I think, what's important about today, we got to show we're not giving up and it could help inspire other people and fellow wounded guys that could be sitting in the hospital bed right now and they see this on the news and say, 'hey, that's going to be me once I get my prosthetic or get out of this hospital bed and get well.'"

"It doesn't matter what branch we are, if someone's fallen behind, they're going to pick them up and help them move on," Retired Army Spc. Jacob Learner, said.

For these war heroes, sharing a bike trail with the former Commander in Chief was exciting enough. But finding out the President brought a guest of his own, that was icing on the cake.

"What is most important is that we support, encourage and absolutely welcome home these brave men and women that served our country," former Tour de France Champ, Lance Armstrong, said.

The Warrior 100 highlights the contributions, made by organizations, that support the troops and their families, while they're deployed and once they come back.

These men and women represent groups like Ride 2 Recovery and The Wounded Warrior Project, among others. The W100 was the inaugural event of the Social Enterprise initiative of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. According to the man himself, it won't be the last.

"I'm going to announce something, next week, another sporting event, not mountain biking but another sport. I might as well tell you, golf," the former president joked.

If given the choice to do it all again or do something differently, what would their answer be, after giving their all on the battle field and even more on the dusty trail?

For Learner, the answer was simple, "If I knew I was going to deploy, step on a land mine and be in this predicament, I would do it all over again."

Former Air America Host Arrested After Heckling Rep. Allen West at Town Hall



The Palm Beach Post has identified former Air America radio host Nicole Sandler as the woman who was arrested and led out of a town hall meeting in handcuffs after she heckled Rep. Allen West and got into a confrontation with the Republican congressman’s wife.


.






A far left heckler was arrested at Rep. Allen West‘s town hall Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale. Several other hecklers were later asked to leave. Of course, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) kept his cool . Love this man!

Immediately after Allen West took the stage at his Town Hall meeting on Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale, several hecklers who were planted in the crowd began to jeer and interrupt his remarks, forcing West to pause several times and then continue once the crowd calmed down. Police were ultimately forced to removed one of the hecklers from the event. When the hecklers refused to stop their harassment, West stated, “You’re not going to intimidate me.”

Minutes later, a woman sitting behind West’s wife , who had been acting in a disruptive and combative manner by yelling at the Congressman and even harrassing his wife, was asked to leave and was escorted out of the event by Fort Lauderdale Police. As this unidentified woman was being removed from the proceedings, she continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer, which resulted in the officer arresting the woman for trespassing.

Unlike YOU Obama Voters These College Kids Love America and Are Smart!



This is a new ad by the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) that challenges President Obama’s claim that his agenda is “winning the future.” It points out that thanks to Obama’s massive spending, the interest alone on the nation’s debt over the next decade will be “$5 Trillion.” Instead of “winning the future,” Obama is “losing the future.”

The ad is set to run in Iowa to urge college-age people to get involved in the political process there.

Rep. Allen West: Obama Displays 'Third World Dictator-like Arrogance' ~ Allen West Speaks The Truth!






FOX Nation

The Laura Ingraham Show, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) compared the president's arrogance to that of a "third world dictator." He also dismissed Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign as nothing more than an effort to pick off conservative voters.

On Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign:


"I think it's part and parcel with the fact that you heard the president announce his campaign, getting that kicked off, and of course you have to try to go out there and garner votes from what is a very conservative group of individuals--that's the United States military."


On Austan Goolsbee's remark that S&P made a "political judgement":


"They don't want to hear the truth. ... They're so used to having the cheering, adoring mainstream media that is nothing more than their own cast of cheerleaders, much the same as an episode of "Glee," and that's what they appreciate more than having real individuals sitting back and assessing this economic situation."


"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that's what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost."


"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that’s what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost...This whole talk about shared prosperity–that really gives me the goosebumps because I’m starting to believe that a community organizer is nothing but a low-level socialist agitator"



Wild Thing's comment.........

“A community organizer is nothing but a low level socialist agitator”

Gov. Jindal Will Sign 'birther' Bill If It Reaches His Desk



Gov. Bobby Jindal would sign a bill requiring presidential candidates to provide a copy of their birth certificate to qualify for the Louisiana ballot if it reaches his desk, a spokesman said Monday.


NOLA.com


“It’s not part of our package, but if the Legislature passes it we’ll sign it,” press secretary Kyle Plotkin said.


House Bill 561 was filed last week by two Republican lawmakers. President Barack Obama’s citizenship has been challenged by some groups, derisively called “birthers,” despite numerous independent investigations finding that documents and contemporary news reports show that Obama was born in Hawaii.

The bill by state Rep. Alan Seabaugh, R-Shreveport, and Sen. A.G. Crowe, R-Slidell, would require federal candidates who want to appear on Louisiana ballots to file an affidavit attesting to their citizenship, which would have to be accompanied by an “original or certified copy” of their birth certificate.

The requirement also would apply to candidates for U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.



Wild Thing's comment........

I hope it does get to his desk, I bet Gov. Jindal is still ticked at obama for the NON drilling for oil. obama is totally at fault for the pirce of gas, the lost jobs connected to drilling and Jindal knows it.

President G.W. Bush Honors Wounded Warriors With A Bike Ride In The Desert



Bush honors wounded warriors with a bike ride in the desert


President George W. Bush loves his mountain bike, and later this month he'll hit the road to honor wounded veterans.


From April 25-27, Bush will host the "Warrior 100," a 100-kilometer mountain bike ride in the Big Bend of Texas with 14 service members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.


"I'll be riding across the deserts of Texas with wounded warriors to show the unbelievable character of our men and women in uniform," Bush said in a statement released by his office. "It's a 100-kilometer ride in the desert, and it's not a leisurely ride; it's a ride to herald people who were dealt a severe blow and said, 'I'm not going to let it tear me down.'"


Says the George W. Bush Presidential Center:


The W100 will highlight the courage of US troops who have served their country honorably during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.


It will also herald the significant contributions of organizations that support these heroes and their families while they are gone and when they return home. Organizations represented on the ride include the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Ride 2 Recovery, World T.E.A.M. Sports and the Wounded Warrior Project.


The bike ride will serve as the inaugural event of the Social Enterprise initiative of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. The Social Enterprise initiative highlights the work of those who find innovative ways to help others.


Riders alongside President Bush include Sergeant Sam Cila, USA (Ret.) of Riverhead, NY; Sergeant Andy Hatcher, USMC (Ret.) of Alexandria, VA; Sergeant Major Chris Self, USA (Ret.) of Clarksville, TN; Lieutenant Colonel Patty Collins, USA of Killeen, TX; Corporal Jon Copsey, USMC (Ret.) of Vista, CA; Colonel David Haines, USA of Louisville, KY; Specialist Carlos Hernandez, USA of San Antonio, TX; Lieutenant Colonel Marc Hoffmeister, USA of Fort Richardson, AK; Staff Sergeant Scott Bilyeu, USAF (Ret.) of San Antonio, TX; Corporal Josh Davis, USMC (Ret.) of Vail, AZ; Sergeant First Class Dillon Behr, USA (Ret.) of Arlington, VA; Staff Sergeant Kenny Butler, USA (Ret.) of Barre, VT; Sergeant Bryce Cole, USA (Ret.) of Cypress, TX and Specialist Jake Lerner, USA (Ret.) of Jacksonville, FL.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) Scolds Christiane Amanpour and Media for Not Criticizing Obama More ~ Good For Joe!!!




Republican Joe Walsh tells Christiane "I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more"


Tea Party Congressman Scolds Christiane Amanpour and Media for Not Criticizing Obama More


Newsbusters


Tea Party Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) had quite an illuminating discussion with Christiane Amanpour Sunday.

As the host of ABC's "This Week" pushed for higher taxes, Walsh correctly pointed out that Barack Obama's first 2012 budget proposed earlier in the year didn't address entitlement programs saying, "The President of the United States ought to be ashamed of himself, and I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more

WALSH:

Christiane, I've said this before. But, and Steve will say this, in the '80s government revenues went up. We didn't cut spending. Revenues went up in the ’80s. Every time we’ve cut taxes revenues have gone up, the economy has grown. Look, Christiane, I've said this before. The President of the United States ought to be ashamed of himself, and I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more. Two months ago he presents a budget and doesn't even talk about entitlement reform. And then all of a sudden last week he gets a redo? The Republicans are leading on this, perfectly prepared to take whatever political hits we have to take, because the crisis is so severe. I wish he’d be a part of this.



Wild Thing's comment........

When I was watching this Sunday morning, I was so surprised to hear someone say this. I am so glad Joe said what he did about the media. Of course Christiane Amanpour did nto even acknowledge what he had said.

We have waited a long time for our Republican leadership to be more bold and where we never saw it before, ever since November we are starting to see more and more of it.

Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart At A Tea Party Rally In Wisconsin ~ Fantastic Speech by Sarah!!!




Here’s the FULL 22 min. youtube video which includes James T. Harris introducing Andrew Breitbart and Breitbart’s short intro of Palin

There were between 10,000 and 15,000 patriots in attendance.




This video BELOW is Sarah's speech if you don't want to hear the one above with the added speeches. ~ Wild Thing



Palin Wows Wisconsin Tea Partiers With Blistering Speech; To Obama: 'You Ignored Us in 2010, You Cannot Ignore Us in 2012' from Breitbart on Vimeo.



From yesterday , Andrew Breitbart and Gov. Sarah Palin speaking at a Tea Party Rally in Madison, Wisconsin, at the State Capitol.

Breitbart introduced Palin, and addressed hecklers while he spoke, telling them to “Go to hell,” and also said, “We are witnessing the end of community organizing. The silent majority won.”

Palin then took the stage, and during her remarks was also heckled by protesters on the edge of the crowd. She told the assembled crowd that Madison is the “front line” of the battle for our country. She told the hecklers that Gov. Scott Walker is “trying to save your pensions.”

"You Ignored Us in 2010, You Cannot Ignore Us in 2012′
“We’re here. We’re clear. Get used to it.”


"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."

Palin took issue with the GOP leadership for promising $100 billion in cuts from the current budget, trimming that pledge to $60 billion and finally settling for $38 billion in the recent budget battle.


"Then after some politics as usual and accounting gimmicks we found out — ya know that $38 billion? We’re actually borrowing that $38 billion," Palin said. "That is not courage, that is capitulation."

Palin told the crowd that the “2012 Election begins here. . . . We will fight for America, and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin. . . . Mr. President – Game on!”


Wild Thing's comment.......

GREAT speech by Sarah!!! Fantastic!!! Palin was very energizing and true to the spirit of liberty.


I was cracking up the way she said, Oh-Ba-mah. She strung the name out in a mocking way. And then said, “You lie.”


LOL Karl Rove is going to be very unhappy. He was on Greta Friday night . And in between calling Donald Trump a joke, and Michele Bachmann not serious, he was also defending the $38 billion in cuts.

I also loved what she said about the GOP.

Marco Rubio To Heckler: "This is the Best Heckler I've Ever Had So Congratuations"

FOX News


Attending a Tea Party rally Friday in Orlando, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio tore into President Barack Obama for giving what he described as a campaign speech earlier this week instead of issuing a genuine budget plan.


"The president the other day didn't offer a budget, he offered a speech, a partisan speech, it was a campaign speech,"


Rubio said to a FOX Orlando reporter after the junior senator spoke to thousands of cheering Florida Tea Partyists. "He has to lead."


"These generational issues that our country faces can't be solved unless the president leads and he doesn't want to lead, he'd rather get re-elected than solve our problems, and I think that's a mistake," Rubio added.

US House Passes Ryan Amendment to Cut $6.2 Trillion Spending Bill



Paul Ryan: Our Generation's Defining Moment


Paul Ryan Closing Statement FY2012 Budget Resolution



The US House passed the Ryan Amendment today by a 235-193 vote.

International Business Times

The US House of Representatives has passed a budget plan for 2012 which seeks to reduce $6.2 trillion in spending by the government over the next decade.

Fiscal 2012 begins on October 1.

The bill passed the Republican-controlled House by 235-193 vote (only four Republicans failed to approve it; and not one Democrat passed it, according to Reuters).

Proposed by Republican Congressman Paul Ryan, the scheme would cut spending on social programs for the poor, for healthcare and would require the elderly to increase their healthcare cost burden.

Rep. Allen West will vote no on budget deal

The Hill

Rep. Allen West is against the bipartisan budget deal between Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the Obama administration.

West (R-Fla.) told The Hill that $39 billion in cuts is insufficient. Asked whether he was pleased with the agreement on policy riders, West responded, "It's all about the money."

West, a freshman who is popular with the Tea Party, said he is a firm "no" on the measure, which will be voted on next week.

Eric Cantor: We Will Not Leave Town Until We Cut Spending & Get Our Fiscal House In Order




Eric Cantor: We Will Not Leave Town Until We Cut Spending & Get Our Fiscal House In Order

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor promised the American people yesterday:


“We will not leave town until we cut spending and get our fiscal house in order.”


The Republicans gave him a standing ovation. The democrats sat on their fannies.



Boehner: 'Far more than one provision' holding up agreement


The Hill

Meanwhile, the House planned to move forward Thursday with a bill extending funding for one week and financing the military for a year. The legislation, which also includes an abortion restriction for the District of Columbia, is designed to pressure Senate Democrats. “There is no policy reason for the Senate to oppose this,” Boehner said. Republicans have dubbed the measure a “troop funding bill,” and the Speaker cited the U.S. involvement in “a third war” in Libya as a reason to pass it.

Obama on Thursday afternoon threatened to veto it. ( Please see my other post about this and what obama is doing ~ Wild Thing ) The sharp rhetoric earlier Thursday contrasted with a sense Wednesday night that the two sides were making slow progress toward a deal. Boehner and Reid made a joint appearance following a White House meeting in which they emphasized their desire to avoid a government shutdown.

They also said their staffs would work through the night in continued talks.

Reid said negotiators have basically agreed to the total level of cuts for the rest of fiscal 2011 but strong disagreement remains over controversial policy riders.

“The numbers are basically there,” Reid said. “But I’m not nearly as optimistic — and that’s an understatement — as I was 11 hours ago. The numbers are extremely close. Our differences are no longer over how much savings we get on government spending.

“The only thing holding up an agreement is an ideology,” Reid told the Senate’s presiding chair. “I’m sorry to say, Mr. President, my friend the Speaker and the Republican leadership have drawn a line in the sand, not dealing with a deficit we know we have to deal with.

“The two main issues holding this matter up are the choice of women, reproductive rights, and clean air,” Reid said. “These matters have no place in a budget bill.”

Reid said the president and Democratic leaders would not give any more ground in the talks.

“We have given everything that we can give,” he said.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) responded immediately by blaming Senate Democrats for the impasse.


“This bill does everything Democrats have previously said they want. It cuts Washington spending by an amount that Democrat leaders believe is reasonable. The policy prescriptions it contains have been previously agreed to by Democrat leaders and signed by the president. And, most importantly, this is the only proposal out there that keeps the government open," he said, according to prepared remarks released by his office.


He pointed out that Democrats haven't released a plan to keep the government running.

"Since they have produced no alternative to the bill that the House is sending over today, this is the only proposal currently on the table that will keep the government open," he said.

“In other words, if a shutdown does occur, our Democrat friends have no one to blame but themselves — because they have done nothing whatsoever to prevent it," he added. "So rather than talking about a shutdown, I hope our Democrat friends join us in actually preventing one. There is one way to do that — by quickly passing the House bill and sending it to the president for his signature before tomorrow night.” Reid on Thursday said the House one-week measure, which Boehner described as a "reasonable troop funding" bill, would not pass the Senate.

“The House is now going to pass a short-term stopgap, it’s a non-starter over here,” Reid said. “Doing that is an assured way to close the government. There are no more short-term extensions.”

Reid said he could agree to a short-term measure to keep government operating as long as it did not include controversial policy riders.

“We’ll be happy to do a clean CR, one that will allow us to work out the details of an agreement,” Reid told reporters Thursday afternoon in reference to a continuing resolution to extend funding.

Senate Democratic Policy Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) dismissed a question about the possibility of the Senate amending the House's one-week stopgap and putting the ball back in Boehner’s court.

“Our focus right now is to try and get a deal because this short-term, short-term, short-term doesn’t work,” he said “Let’s wait and see what happens at the [1 p.m.] White House meeting.”

In his own floor remarks on Thursday, Boehner rejected assertions that the House bill is bound to go nowhere.


"There's no policy reason for the Senate to oppose this responsible troop funding bill that keeps the government running," he said. "It reflects a bicameral, bipartisan agreement that was reached in December regarding the troop funding bill, and no Senator has objected to the policy in this bill."


Boehner added that "no one" wants a government shutdown, and called on the Senate to "follow the House in taking these responsible steps to support our troops and keep our government open."


Obama, in a rare late-night appearance in the White House briefing room Wednesday, said it would "inexcusable" to shut down the government over political issues.

Defunding increases federal spending? What planet are they from?


In the early days of our Republic, they used to attack each other with canes, when passions flowed in Congress. With this batch of politicians I’d gladly give them M16A2, Need popcorn and CSPAN. Want to bet DIMS don’t know what a charge handle is?

Liberal PBS Reporter Judy Woodruff Interviews Rep. Paul Ryan on Proposed Cuts: 'Our Budget Literally Pays Off the Debt'






GOP Rep. Paul Ryan talking with PBS reporter Judy Woodruff about his proposed 2012 Federal Budget that was unveiled yesterday.

This video shows just how effective Paul Ryan is in thinking on his feet and handling the attacks from the Left. Woodruff tries everything she can to make Ryan and the plan look bad. Again and again she asks leading questions designed to cast the plan in a negative light – “So your plan would end Medicare as we know it?” – but Ryan would have none of it. At every point, he was able to refute the insinuations and negative characterizations of what the GOP approach will accomplish.


Ryan flatly told Woodruff that President Obama’s direction for the buget would double the debt by the end of his first term and triple the debt in the following years. In contrast, what he and the GOP are proposing would “literally pay down the debt.” Essentially, the choice being set before the nation is unending, burgeoning debt or solvency.

Paul Ryan is really impressive in both his grasp of the budget issues, and his ability to communicate on the topic in a way that makes sense.



Wild Thing's comment........


We really do have some great people in the Republican party. I pray every day for them to stay strong and know we support their efforts.

We have to get more conservatives elected and then also get rid of the rino's.

Rep LTC Allen West ~ Greatness In This Hero!!!




Transcript from The Right Scoop

Speech given April 1, 2011

Thank you for being here because this shows your commitment to your country. This shows your commitment to the principles and values upon which this country was established. And you know some of the things that people continue to ask me, they continue to ask me “well, why won’t you compromise, why won’t you negotiate?”. We’ll let me tell you something. Abraham Lincoln said very succinctly, he said “plant your feet in the right place and then stand firm”, and so I’m gonna be standing firm.


When I was a young Lieutenant and I was going through airborne school, the sergeant black hat said very simply:
If you set the bar low you jump low. ” You did not send us up here to set the bar low. You sent us up here with some expectations. You sent us with a mandate. You sent us up here believing that we were here to do the things, to turn around this great ship of state called the United States of America. Because right now, this leaderless, rudderless ship is out in the maelstrom about to get tossed on the rocks.


And I’m sick and tired of hearing everyone talk about this great constitutional, conservative grass roots movement called the Tea Party. I am sick and tired of them trying to blame you, I am sick and tired of them trying to castigate you in a negative manner. No one says anything about Moveon.org; no one says anything about Organizing for America. You are what this country was founded upon and I am glad to be standing her with you.


We are not here to talk about shutting down the government. But if you want to know about shutting down the government, go right over there and talk to Chuck Schumer, go talk to Harry Reid, go down to 1600 Pennsylvania and talk to the President. We’re here to talk about the incredible fiscal irresponsibility.

And I gotta tell you something. Why would I want to sit down and compromise with people who enhanced this problem we have in America with the three years of deficit spending – 1.42 trillion, 1.29 trillion, 1.65 trillion. The debt in the past four years has gone up 5 trillion dollars. Why do I want to listen to people like that. Because I don’t think that they are going to give me any good solutions.


The bottom line is this: we have got to turn this ship around. I am not going to lower my standards, I am not going to do anything but stand upon the values you sent me up her for!

For twenty two years you asked me to do one simple thing. You asked me to always protect your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. You asked me to guard the great symbols of this country. In November of 2010 you gave me the privilege and honor of to take off a uniform, put on a suit and tie and continue to serve you.

I will continue to protect you. I will continue to protect your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I will not let you down!

God bless you all, God bless America, and thank you to the tea party.

To Republican Politicians WATCH This Video and LEARN As President Reagan Takes On Obama, Rino McCain, Pelosi





Reagan beats up on Obama, McCain, Pelosi...and Clooney.




Wild Thing's comment.........


Excellent video! We still have too few elected Republicans that are strong against the left in office. They need to be reminded we meant what we said at the Tea Parties and Townhalls. Why we have to keep at them is a big disappointment but we do. John Boehner for example has his moments of doing and saying the right thing, being strong, then he will turn around and show weakness........NOT Good! It has to be consistent or it won't help.
Not only Speaker Boehner but many others as well.


The left is good at wearing people down, they never stop, and it does get more then tiresome, more stress every day at their crap they dish out. What I wish is that those we elected would FINALLY realize that we are maxed out with the stress of obama and the rest of the progressives BS, to a breaking point many of us and we have had ENOUGH! There is a limit to how much a person can stand and if they can't be strong for us, be our voice and do what has to be done without the slide into RINOville they then are cowards and we do not want them. PERIOD!

They get hate mail, trolls at their facebook pages, ( Boehner has tons of trolls from the left at his) but they need to realize we get this too and we can't even call a press conference to tell of obama and the left, or push a bill through or any of the things they can do to keep the left from getting what they want. And that is frustrating for us.

One last thing, all of this makes it even more upsetting when so many have served our country and see all this happening. Our Veterans deserve better, they deserve to have the awesome America it can be and has been so much in the past.

Get rid of obamacare it is already costing us money right now in our insurance going up.
Get rid of the freaking stupid light bulb BS, the enviro detergents that do NOT clean and leave a gray color to white clothes, towels, sheets etc.
Let us DRILL FOR OIL, we have more then enough, much more then enough.
NO TO Cap and Trade
NO to insane R.O.E.'S that get our troops killed and injured.

Speak out about Obama's birth certificate it is not right that he get away with what he has done on this. His guilt screams out to the world when he has paid over $2 Million to fight this in courts. How much more guilty does a person have to look to do something like that. And where is the $2 Million coming from????? Out tax dollars??????

And all of THIS is not even all the things that need attention.

Senator Marco Rubio: America Can't Survive Another Obama Term





Why I Won't Vote to Raise the Debt Limit

The Wall Street Journal

Everyone in Washington knows how to cut spending. The time to start is now. .

CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE BY MARCO RUBIO

Excellent article written by Marco at the Wall Street Journal ~ Wild Thing



Below is a write up from Liberty Action Report about Marco and his stand.


Today, ALG ( Americans for Limited Government ) President Bill Wilson praised Senator Marco Rubio for his "courageous stand" against increasing the $14.294 trillion federal debt ceiling


Senator Rubio outlined his conditions for approving any increase in the ceiling, which will be hit between April 15th and May 31st according to U.S. Treasury estimates.

"I will vote to defeat an increase in the debt limit unless it is the last one we ever authorize and is accompanied by a plan for fundamental tax reform, an overhaul of our regulatory structure, a cut to discretionary spending, a balanced-budget amendment, and reforms to save Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid," wrote Senator Rubio.

Wilson said Rubio's conditions were "reasonable." He explained, "Look, with a national debt that has already soared above $14 trillion that will become larger than the entire economy, soon the debt will become too large to even refinance, let alone ever be repaid." By 2021, the Office of Management and Budget projects the national debt will soar to over $25 trillion.

"If Senate Republicans cannot use their leverage on the debt ceiling vote to achieve significant concessions, including a Balanced Budget Amendment, to turn the Ship of State around now, will assuredly sink into the Abyss in the not-so-distant future," Wilson warned.

Currently, the $14.2 trillion national debt already stands at 95.5 percent of the nation's $14.8 trillion Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Wilson said it was unclear at what percentage of debt-to-GDP that the debt becomes too large to refinance, but that "the warning signs are already there that we cannot even meet our current obligations honestly."

"Right now, we're currently meeting our financing obligations by having the Federal Reserve simply print money to buy debt. Anyone ever heard of the Weimar Republic? How'd that work out for them?" Wilson asked.

The Weimar Republic experienced hyperinflation in 1920's as it attempted to print money to honor its war debts and reparations, destabilizing the country and leading directly to its fall.

Pimco reports that in 2009, 80 percent of treasuries were purchased by the Federal Reserve, and in 2010, it had to buy 70 percent, bringing its current U.S. debt holdings to $1.3 trillion. "The Fed is the largest lender to the U.S. government in the world, more than China or Japan. When the Fed ends QE2 in June, it will likely keep a high water mark of $1.5 trillion in treasuries holdings. That means it will still be buying U.S. debt to aid in refinancing," Wilson explained.

"Republicans need to do a better job of explaining the fiscal catastrophe we face, and what will happen if the debt is allowed to become too large to even refinance," Wilson noted.

"If the GOP cannot articulate what will happen to this country, specifically, if Congress fails to act and the debt soars to over $25 trillion in a decade, it will undercut their case for real fiscal reform," Wilson explained. "Either the debt will become too large to service, or it can continue to grow forever with no danger. If members truly believe that indeed it can get too large, then Senate Republicans' time to act is now."

Wilson concluded, "This is not just about getting an up-or-down vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment. This is about actually making certain that the debt ceiling never needs to be increased again. Senator Rubio's stand is an example all members should emulate. He's trying to save his country before it's too late, and we applaud him for that."

Rep. LTC Allen West on Libya: "Serious problems..."





Rep. Allen West talking about U.S. involvement in Libya. West said Obama waited to long to act in helping opposition rebel forces, allowing Gadhafi to seize the momentum. Having waited too long, West said there is now no clearly defined mission for what we are doing in Libya. Since Obama has said there will be no ground troops in Libya, it is unlikely Gadhafi will be forced from power any time soon. West said, “you are not going to protect civilians” or get rid og Gadhafi “from 30,000 ft. in the air.”

West does not favor use of ground troops in Libya, but doubts the current military action will be able to oust Gadhafi – meaning there is no clearly defined purpose for the action. West pointed out that if the purpose is to protect civilians, does that mean we will intervene in Yemen, Bahrain, etc.? He called what Obama has done “a dangerous precedent.”



.



TWO years ago, Barack Obama made this little dig on Bush during remarks to service members at the Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida in October 2009.

“I Promise I will never rush the decision to send you in harms way.”


Obama fails to grasp the gravity of going to war.


Washington Examiner


“I am completely mystified,” says former top Bush aide Karl Rove, who supports the Libya intervention, “that this administration, of all administrations, makes a decision on a Tuesday night and does not bother to call anybody in Congress until Friday morning, 90 minutes before the policy is going to be executed, to tell them what is going to happen. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had tried to do that? We’d have been barbecued!”


There’s also the question of why Obama did not explain his decision to the public in a forum that conveyed the gravity of the situation. After ordering troops into action, the president headed off to South America with his wife, daughters, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law’s friend in tow. There was no solemn, reasoned speech to explain why the U.S. was going to war.



.





When Bush was president angry Obama in 2007: Americans ‘Have a Right to Know’ When We Debate and Engage in Major Foreign Policy Actions


SENATOR OBAMA: "But the fact of the matter is that when we don’t talk to the American people, we’re debating the most important foreign policy issues that we face, and the American people have a right to know. It is not just Washington insiders that — are part of the debate that has to take place with respect to how we’re going to shift our foreign policy. This is a seminal question.

Rep. Allen West ~ A Real Leader





At the 2nd annual 9/12 Project picnic with Allen West in Lake Worth FL, Congressman Allen West stated that while he is humbled by the support he has received from people across the country who believe he is a viable Senatorial and/or Presidential candidate, but nonetheless, he is staying put in the U.S. House of Representatives.

West then went off to call out Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) by way of a pretty good impersonation- regarding the video in which Reid says that the Tea Party would not survive.

Marco Rubio: “I Will No Longer Support Short-Term Budget Plans...We Can No Longer Afford To Nickel and Dime Our Way Out of Dangerous Debt"




Marco Rubio: “I Will No Longer Support Short-Term Budget Plans...We Can No Longer Afford To Nickel and Dime Our Way Out of Dangerous Debt"

The Daily Caller


Only a few months into his first Senate term, Florida Republican Marco Rubio took a stand against his party’s leadership with a promise to vote against any short-term proposal to fund the government, and said members of Congress should feel “ashamed” if they fail to reach a deal on long-term spending cuts.

“I will no longer support short-term budget plans. While attempts at new spending reductions are commendable, we simply can no longer afford to nickel-and-dime our way out of the dangerous debt America has amassed,” Rubio wrote in an op-ed published on the conservative blog RedState.com Monday.


“With Congress set to begin another week-long recess next week, every senator and representative should feel ashamed if they have to go home again, look their constituents in the eye, and explain why nothing is being done about our debt crisis.”


Congress has not passed a federal budget since 2009, instead choosing to fund the government through a string of short term continuing resolutions (CRs).


Republicans, who took control of the House in January, have demanded that each new CR contain spending reductions. Earlier this month, Democrats and Republicans agreed to a two-week extension with about $4 billion in cuts and House Republicans last week introduced a measure to fund the government another three weeks with $6 billion in spending reductions.


Rubio let loose on the whole process, calling it “short-sighted and dangerous.”


“Running our government on the fumes of borrowed spending is unacceptable, short-sighted and dangerous,” Rubio wrote. “I commend the efforts of House and Senate Republican leaders to deal with this, but I did not come to the U.S. Senate to be part of some absurd political theater


Rubio joins a short list of Tea Party senators, including Rand Paul of Kentucky, Jim DeMint of South Carolina and Mike Lee of Utah, who already have expressed their discontent with the stopgap budgets. He said he would “no longer” back short-term budget bills, adding that Congress cannot “nickel-and-dime our way” out of the debt crisis.

Resistance on the Senate side is being matched by conservative ire in the House, where spending bills originate.

Fox News has learned that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the influential Republican Study Committee, will oppose the short-term bill, scheduled to hit the floor Tuesday or Wednesday. The study committee represents the bloc of the most conservative voices in the House — Jordan’s stance could open the door for others to follow suit in voting against the bill.

In a Tweet last week, freshman Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., already announced: “I will NOT be voting for another short term CR. There is a confrontation coming on this budget and the sooner we get to it the better.”

West added:


Rep. Allen West of Florida said it isn’t playing well back home and that constituents “are tired of half-measures.”

Rubio and West....Thank you for being conservatives and not RHINO's!!!

I love how these conservatives are in no mood to play games with the critical budget.

Speaker Boehner calls out Obama: ‘Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words’ ~ Thank You John Boehner!!!




Boehner calls out Obama: ‘Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words’


The Daily Caller


With the new appointment of banker Bill Daley as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, some have wondered if the White House is attempting to change the perception it is an anti-business administration.

But on Monday night’s “The Kudlow Report” on CNBC, Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner said it was going to take more than just that appointment to convince him the Obama administration has changed its attitude toward the business community.

“I’ve talked to the president a lot over the last couple of months and talked to Mr. Daley a number of times,” Boehner said. “Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. I haven’t seen any new actions, yet.”


Boehner even offered some suggestions.


“Send the free-trade agreements to Congress for our consideration,” Boehner said. “Let’s put a real moratorium on new regulations coming out of his administration, which he’s also called for.”

Another pro-business gesture, Boehner said, could come through tax reform, which Obama has hinted at over the past few months. Host Larry Kudlow asked if new Republican House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan was up to the task.


“If we want to make America more competitive we’ve got to reform our corporate tax code,” Boehner said. “It’s in the way of job creation in America. Dave Camp is a great chairman. We came to Congress together 21 years ago. He is working on that reform. There’s a number of hearings that are already set up. The administration appears to have some interest in wanting to pursue this and I’m optimistic.”


That tax reform could come this year, Boehner added.


Wild Thing's comment........

If only we could send obama off to prison for being a traitor and then get a conservative as president. All these things the conservatives want to do would be so huge to get America back and business doing good again.

GOP Senators Introduce National 'Right-to-Work' Bill to Restrict Unions





GOP Senators Introduce National 'Right-to-Work' Bill to Restrict Unions

FOX News

A group of conservative U.S. senators has introduced a bill to restrict unions from forcing workers to join and pay dues as a condition of employment.

The move on Capitol Hill comes as several states consider what’s known as “right-to-work” legislation — proposals that have met stiff resistance. Indiana Republicans recently shelved their right-to-work bill after it sparked protests at the capital and after Democrats fled the state to block it, mimicking the tactic used by Wisconsin lawmakers holding up Gov. Scott Walker’s anti-union proposal.

But GOP senators in Washington said national legislation is needed to stop the “strong-arm political tactics” they claim labor bosses are using to compel new employees into joining their ranks. They introduced the National Right to Work Act Tuesday.


“No American should be forced to join a union and pay dues to get a job in this country,” Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said in a statement. “Many Americans are already struggling just to put food on the table, and they shouldn’t have to fear losing their jobs or face discrimination if they don’t want to join a union. Forced-unionism shields unions from member accountability and has a detrimental effect on the economy.”


Opponents of right-to-work legislation say the proposals would lower pay and hurt workers.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents federal workers, said in a statement Wednesday it would oppose the bill “in solidarity” with other unions, while noting it would not affect federal employees.

For years, the country has been split about 50-50 between states that allow employees to decide whether to join a union and states that allow unions to require membership. Most southern and central Midwestern states are right-to-work states, while the West Coast, New England and the northern Midwest comprise what critics call “forced-unionism” states.

Currently 22 states have right-to-work laws, according to the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. Research by the National Conference of State Legislatures shows that several states in New England and in the northern Midwest are now considering right-to-work proposals.

Right-to-work advocates say states with those laws on the books are more conducive to economic growth.

DeMint was joined by seven other co-sponsors, including Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; James Risch, R-Idaho; Pat Toomey, R-Pa.; and David Vitter, R-La.


In February ( last month) Mitch Daniels: Indiana Republicans Should Drop the Right to Work Bill

Gov. Mitch Daniels signaled this afternoon that Republicans should to drop the right-to-work bill that has brought the Indiana House to a standstill for two days and imperiled other measures.


Daniels told reporters this afternoon that he expects House Democrats will return to work if the bill dies. The Democrat minority has right to express its views, he added.


.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Good for othe GOP Senators for introducing this bill.

Bye Bye Gov. Mitch RINO Daniels for your wanting a truce with the Demcorats in your State on so many things. Glad he is NOT a Senator. Thank God for Gov.s like Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Senate Passes Unioin Bill ~ Democrats MIA





The Wisconsin Senate passed their union tonight 18-1.


The Senate democrats were still hiding in Illinois when the bill was passed.


The outraged leftists are pounding on the chamber door – they’re honking their horns outside the capitol building.

AP

Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers after discovering a way to bypass the chamber’s missing Democrats.

All 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois nearly three weeks ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members present to consider Gov. Scott Walker’s so-called “budget repair bill” – a proposal introduced to plug a $137 million budget shortfall.

The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that spend money. But Republicans on Wednesday split from the legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, which spends no money, and a special conference committee of state lawmakers approved the bill a short time later.


Governor Scott Walker praised Republicans

Walker said: “In order to move the state forward, I applaud the Legislature’s action today to stand up to the status quo and take a step in the right direction to balance the budget and reform government.”


“The Senate Democrats have had three weeks to debate this bill and were offered repeated opportunities to come home, which they refused. In order to move the state forward, I applaud the Legislature’s action today to stand up to the status quo and take a step in the right direction to balance the budget and reform government. The action today will help ensure Wisconsin has a business climate that allows the private sector to create 250,000 new jobs.”

Here is a video of the guy hollering it’s a violation of the meetings law.An d also the voting for the bill.

Wild Thing's comment........

They needed a quorum of 20 to pass financial bills so they stripped all financial/budgetary portions.

Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center) casting the no vote.

Gov Walker and the Senate GOP bent over backwards to get the rats to return. They were obviously not planning to return any time soon so the GOP said..."TIMES UP" and made the necessary changes to move ahead without needing the rats to be present.

Democrats have nothing to complain about but they will of course and they will lie as they always do. They had their chance to be present and accounted for which they preferred to run off to Illinois.

Americans will save this country yet! To hell with the commie ‘RATS. We love our country and will not let them destroy it!

Very Impressive Michele Bachmann on Meet the Press





GOP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appearing of Meet the Press with David Gregory.


Meet The Press: David Gregory Irked by Michelle Bachmann Emphasis on Secret $105 Billion ObamaCare Funding


Newsbusters

Bachmann said she is “hopeful” that an agreement can be reached with Democrats to avert a shutdown of the Government. But Bachmann said revelations of funding to implement ObamaCare slipped into the ObamaCare Bill make it difficult to take the Obama Administration seriously. Gregory told Bachmann he wanted to stick to a narrow discussion of budget issues. But Bachmann would not stop talking about the $105 Billion already appropriated in the ObamaCare Bill. She said the money “has to be given back before we can start any other discussions.”

Bachmann said she would NOT support raising the debt ceiling, saying that would only give Congress a license to spend more money.

Bachmann said Obama’s handling of the Libyan Crisis has been “lacking.”

She said she has made no decision about a 2012 run for President. Bachmann stood by her remarks saying Obama actions are that of a “gangster government.”


REP. MICHELE BACHMANN: ...There was a Congressional Research Service report that just was issued in February, and we discovered that secretly, unbeknownst to members of Congress, over $105 billion was hidden in the Obamacare legislation to fund the implementation of Obamacare. This is something that wasn't known. This money was broken up, hidden in various parts of the bills. And we have worked very hard to discover $61 billion in cuts that we could put forward, get to the president. So, in effect, David, we've taken one step forward and two steps back because we've found now that $105 billion had already been implemented.


MR. GREGORY: All right. But that--but, Congresswoman, you heard the president this week offer...

Notice how often during the interview that Ms Bachmann keeps returning to the topic of the $105 billion of ObamaCare funding during the interview which is countered in each instance by David Gregory desperately trying to change the subject.


MR. GREGORY: We are back, joined now by the head of the tea party caucus in the House of Representatives, Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota Michele Bachmann. Welcome to MEET THE PRESS.

REP. MICHELE BACHMANN (R-MN): Thank you, David.

MR. GREGORY: Nice to have you. You heard the chief of staff, Bill Daley, say that he's optimistic that it's possible to avert a government shutdown. Are you as optimistic as he is?

REP. BACHMANN: Well, I'm hopeful. I don't think anyone wants to see the government shut down, but it is shocking the revelations of all the money that's been spent. There was a Congressional Research Service report that just was issued in February, and we discovered that secretly, unbeknownst to members of Congress, over $105 billion was hidden in the Obamacare legislation to fund the implementation of Obamacare. This is something that wasn't known. This money was broken up, hidden in various parts of the bills. And we have worked very hard to discover $61 billion in cuts that we could put forward, get to the president. So, in effect, David, we've taken one step forward and two steps back because we've found now that $105 billion had already been implemented.


MR. GREGORY: All right. But that--but, Congresswoman, you heard the president this week offer...

REP. BACHMANN: Or appropriated.

MR. GREGORY: ...an accommodation to the states to opt out of the individual mandate, where necessary, to tailor it toward their own states.

REP. BACHMANN: Well, David...

MR. GREGORY: Why isn't that the sort of--the give that Republicans wanted?

REP. BACHMANN: David, that's not a give at all. In effect, all that is, is a pretext for implementing a single-payer plan. If you--if you recall, the president's entire statement, he said the states can opt out as long as they stay within the, the requirements of all of Obamacare unless they want to go with a single payer--again, from the very beginning it has been said that Obamacare is a crime against democracy. It has been a deception from the beginning. Remember, the president told us it was a mandate, not a tax. Now in the federal court he's arguing it's a tax, not a Band-Aid.

MR. GREGORY: Will you--I want to stick with the...

REP. BACHMANN: We were also told that our premiums would go down $2,500 and instead, they're spiking up by 20 and 40 percent.

MR. GREGORY: Let me get in here, Congresswoman.

REP. BACHMANN: This has been a fraud.

MR. GREGORY: Let me get in here. I want to stick with the, the narrow budget questions. Are you willing to vote to shut down the government over some of these add-ons to these spending bills, to defund funding for the healthcare legislation, for Planned Parenthood, for the EPA?

REP. BACHMANN: I think this deception that the president and Pelosi and Reid put forward with, with appropriating over $105 billion needs to be given back to the people. There was no debate. There was no discussion. $105 billion is a lot of money. You can't just slip that into a bill and not tell members of the House and not tell members of the Senate, and then when they go to vote for the bill, did it just slip Harry Reid's mind to not tell the senators that this was in the bill?

MR. GREGORY: Congresswoman, my question is a very, is a very direct one: Will you vote to shut down the government over those riders?

REP. BACHMANN: I think that President Obama needs to give back that $105 billion that they already appropriated. They have tied the hands of Congress for the next eight years, David. They already appropriated this money. Members of Congress didn't even know this money was in the bill because we couldn't read the bill before it was passed because it wasn't given to us but hours before we had to vote for it. That's why Speaker Pelosi famously said we have to pass the bill to know what's in it. Members of Congress weren't even given the courtesy of time to read the bill. This $105 billion has to be given back before we can start any other discussions.

MR. GREGORY: Let me ask, let me ask you about some tea party criticism of Speaker Boehner over how far the cuts have gone. The USA Today reported on this on Friday, I'll put it up. "Tea Party leader blasts Boehner over cuts. The founder of one of the largest Tea Party groups said House Speaker Boehner looks like a `fool' ... because he has not cut enough from the budget.

"Judson Phillips ... [the] founder of the Tea Party Nation, Boehner's inability to negotiate," he said, "larger cuts should prompt the Tea Party movement to run a candidate against [him] in 2012 in a GOP primary.

"`The Tea Party movement sprang up in '09 as a reaction to insane government spending,' Phillips wrote on his blog on Wednesday. `In 2010, the American people spoke, demanding change. Everyone realizes that the level of spending cannot be sustained. John Boehner did not get that message.'" Has Boehner failed the tea party?

REP. BACHMANN: The main message that's going across the Internet today among members of the tea party, they are outraged about this $105 billion that was deceptively put in the Obamacare bill.

MR. GREGORY: Congresswoman, you've made, you've made your point.

REP. BACHMANN: That's what they're focused on.

MR. GREGORY: I'm asking you a direct question here about whether you think, as head of the tea party caucus, whether Boehner has failed to live up to the tea party's expectations.

REP. BACHMANN: I think what we're--we--what we're trying to do as Republicans in the House is look for every place we possibly can to cut spending. We've identified $100 billion in cuts off of the president's proposed budget, $60 billion if you compare it to the 2010 budget. So we have done our part to look for cuts. But we can't be--we can't end there. We have to also demand that we claw back the $105 billion that was deceptively already appropriated by President Obama.

MR. GREGORY: The, the speaker has said that it would be irresponsible not to raise the debt limit, as will be called for soon. Will you agree with him on that and do that?

REP. BACHMANN: I am not in favor of raising the debt ceiling. In the last 10 years we have raised the debt ceiling 10 times. We are just giving the Congress a license to keep on spending. And one thing the American people are demanding because they want to see jobs created, they want to see the economy get on a back--good footing. In order to do that, government has to take less so that the American people can keep more.

MR. GREGORY: The issue of the tea party and backlash among voters against the tea party is an interesting area because conservatives and certainly leaders and tea party folks have said, "Look, there was a mandate from the 2010 election, and that was to cut spending." And yet, you have this from--analysis from our Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, written by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday: "Among those most fearing spending cuts," they reported, "were younger voters, independents, seniors, and suburban women--groups that include many swing voters in national elections, who potentially could turn against the GOP.

"`It may be hard to understand why someone would try to jump off a cliff' to solve the debt crisis, [pollster] Mr. [Bill] McInturff said of his fellow Republicans, `unless you understand that they are being chased by a tiger, and that tiger is the tea party.'" Is the tea party chasing the broader GOP off the cliff?

REP. BACHMANN: You know, I think that the political left has been very afraid of the tea party movement because it is not necessarily political. It's not Democrats or Republicans. It's made up of a very broad-based coalition. It's made up of people who want the country to work again. They believe that we're taxed enough already, the government shouldn't spend more money than what its taking in, and that each of the three branches of government should act within the jurisdictional limitations of the Constitution. That's a broad-based group of people. They just want our country to work again. And I think that that coalition is hanging together more strongly now than ever.

So now that Congress is searching for ways to cut the budget, a very good place to start would be with the 105 BILLION dollars in secret ObamaCare funding, However, David Gregory would rather stubbornly stick to his script about supposed dissension between Tea Party members and the GOP as well other relatively trivial matters.

Perhaps someday David Gregory can bring himself to actually say the words: $105 BILLION.

Sen. Mitch McConnell Followed John Kerry On CBS' Bob Schieffer Show and Gave a Great Response





Sen. Mitch McConnell tells CBS’ Bob Schieffer he does not believe Obama is serious about addressing the budget. McConnell said he has had a number of private conversations with the President and Vice President and saw no willingness from them to do anything difficult.


"Where's the president? Where's the leadership," the Republican Senator from Kentucky asks, along with another question for John Kerry: "What planet is he living on?"



Wild Thing's comment........


The longer version of the interview Schieffer tried to get McConnell to agree with Kerry or at least to show weakness, but he didn't. This is something I got so sick of the last several years how when Republicans have a chance to speak up they wimp out. I wanted to share this clip with you where McConnell actually did stay strong and he told the truth too. Obama is horrible as a president and for many more reasons that were even stated in this interview, but at least it is a start when we hear those elected on our side speak up.

Speaker Boehner Shoots Down Dem Plan To Cut $6.5B and Boehner Also Promises Obama GOP Cover On Entitlement Reform ~ Good One!!!



Boehner shoots down Dem plan to cut $6.5B as 'indefensible'


The Hill

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday called the Democratic plan to trim $6.5 billion from last year's spending "indefensible and unacceptable."


"Yesterday, the White House and congressional Democrats finally announced their position. Unfortunately, it is little more than the status quo, and the status quo is indefensible and unacceptable,” Boehner said in a statement Friday morning.


“The American people spoke loudly and clearly last November. They want to cut spending to help create a better environment for job creation. Americans have a right to know: When will Democrats get serious about cutting spending?"

House Majority Leader Cantor (R-Va.) also said the Democratic plan "falls short" and is "not a serious attempt to get our fiscal house in order.

Less government spending equals more private sector jobs, and House Republicans applied that principle to our long-term funding measure, H.R. 1," he said in a statement.

The cuts in the Democratic plan come from a wide variety of programs including disaster preparedness, nonproliferation, job training, transportation and wildfire prevention.

They are culled from areas cut in the House seven-month CR that have been identified by the White House as acceptable.



Boehner promises Obama GOP cover if he takes first step on entitlement reform

The Hill

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has privately assured President Obama that House Republicans will not attack him if he makes a proposal to reform entitlement spending, according to sources familiar with the offer.


Moreover, Boehner has personally promised Obama that he will stand side by side with him to weather the strong political backlash expected from any proposal to cut entitlement costs.

So far, Obama has not taken Boehner up on the deal, as Democratic strategists have warned the White House not to cut payments from the Social Security trust fund or to reopen the acrimonious debate over healthcare.


Social Security reform has been prominent in behind-the-scenes talks about entitlement spending because it is relatively easy to reduce its cost projections — at least, compared to the complex morass of healthcare policy reform.

Social Security has been known traditionally as the “third rail” of politics, because grappling with the issue is considered as deadly as touching an electrified subway rail.

President George W. Bush saw his post-election political capital plummet in 2005 after Democrats led by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) excoriated his administration’s proposal to divert a portion of Social Security revenues into private retirement accounts.

Boehner has promised that Republicans will not exploit entitlement reform for political gain if Obama shows leadership on curbing the cost of Social Security and other mandatory spending programs, according to sources familiar with the offer.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who is in the midst of negotiating a deficit-reduction package with a bipartisan group of senators, said Republicans would not bite Obama for endorsing entitlement reforms.


“He’s been told by the Speaker that if he stands up to do that, the Speaker will stand up with him,” Coburn said. “The Speaker will go out there with him and say we’ve got to do these things.”


Coburn is in talks with five other senators — two Republicans and three Democrats — to craft a deficit-reduction plan that might include reforms to Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said entitlement reform won’t happen this year unless Obama takes a leading role on the issue.
“With regard to our long-term unfunded liabilities — the entitlements — we are waiting for presidential leadership,” McConnell said. “We know, and we’ll say again, that entitlement reform will not be done except on a bipartisan basis with presidential leadership.”


The president might be concerned about getting vilified by his own party and its allies.

Labor unions and liberal advocacy groups have waged a blistering lobbying campaign directed at the White House to steer the president away from reform proposals that would cut benefits.

Boehner has now established that he invited the President's leadership on the matter and offered his full support. Boehner’s just boxed Obama up again.


.


Wild Thing's comment........

Good for Boehner, he didn't fall for the cheap parlor tricks. It really is ridiculous that in this time that instead of offering meaningful spending cuts democrats choose to be deceptive and deceitful.


And regarding Boehner promises Obama GOP cover if he takes first step on entitlement reform. Obama will NEVER reform entitlement spending.... it’s literally the bread and butter of his constituency. Boehner did the smart thing, here: now he can go out and say that even though he promised Obama that the GOP would assist in entitlement reform, Obama didn’t have the guts to tackle a big issue like that. Good move on Boehner's part.


Boehner's offer is an invitation for Obama to commit political suicide.

Brilliant move.

Senate GOP in Wisconsin Orders Police to Take AWOL Dems Into Custody



State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald


Senate GOP in Wisconsin Orders Police to Take AWOL Dems Into Custody

FOX News


Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate passed a resolution Thursday calling for police to take 14 Democrats into custody for contempt after they fled to Illinois to avoid voting on a bill that would strip public-sector unions of nearly all their collective bargaining rights.

On the same day, Republicans in the Indiana House agreed to impose fines of $250 per day on Democrats who are also in Illinois, boycotting the legislature over labor and education bills they oppose.

In Wisconsin, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald signed the orders after Republicans voted 19-0 calling for the action unless Democrats returned to the chamber by 4 p.m. Thursday.

None of the Democrats did, prompting Fitzgerald to sign 14 orders of detainment in dramatic fashion in the center of the Senate chamber. State patrol officers watched silently from the gallery.

"We had not exhausted everything available to us to compel the senators back to the body," Fitzgerald said in an interview with Greta Van Susteren during On The Record. "If one of these senators is identified or about to come into Wisconsin they could be picked up by law enforcement and brought back to the senate chamber."


Fitzgerald added that he heard a media report that one of the missing Democratic senators didn't think he was serious.

"Bring it on, lets try it," he said. "If that senator wants to step foot in Wisconsin, he’ll see."


The move comes two weeks after the Democrats left, effectively delaying the vote on Gov. Scott Walker's proposal that he says will help him address a $3.6 billion budget shortfall. Walker said Thursday that he will start issuing layoff notices to state workers on Friday if his bill isn't passed by then.

Fitzgerald said the resolution is legally different from an arrest, but "definitely a shift from asking them politely."

The resolution gives the sergeant at arms the authority to take any and all steps, with or without force and assistance from police, to bring the senators back.

The state Constitution prohibits the arrest of lawmakers while in session unless they're accused of committing felonies, treason or breach of peace.

But James Troupis, a private attorney hired by Fitzgerald, argued Thursday that the move is legal, because the state Constitution allows each house to "compel the attendance of absent members," the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

In Indiana, most House Democrats skipped Thursday's floor sessions, extending their stay at an Urbana, Ill., hotel to a 10th day and preventing action on the bills because too few members are present.

The fines would start being assessed on Monday and be deducted from the salaries or expense allowances of the absent members.

Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said he decided to seek the fines because the Democratic boycott had reached "the point of absurdity."

"We've tried every other means other than conceding to a list of demands and this is one of the few items that we have as options," Bosma said.


Republicans calculate that the absence of the Democrats has cost more than $250,000 in taxpayer money for the salaries and expenses of running the House during the walkout, which Bosma called "a very expensive temper tantrum."



Wild Thing's comment........


Kudos to Fitzgerald, good for him and the rest of the Republicans that followed through and voted to do something about this.

What a mess this is and it isn’t going to be resolved soon. I can imagine the games which will be played once they do return...you can expect they’ll have something up their sleves .

Gov. Scott Walker Stands Up To Obama and His Goons~ Thank YOU Gov. Walker!!!!




First we have Obama's comment on Monday followed by Gov. Waklker's response further down. ~ Wild Thing




Obama warns public workers are being 'vilified'


The Hill


Obama warned Monday against vilifying public workers, making his first allusion to the labor dispute in Wisconsin in a week and a half.

The president, speaking Monday to a group of governors at the White House, warned against using public servants as scapegoats, a not-so-subtle reference to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) pursuit of legislation that would eliminate collective bargaining rights for public workers.

“I don’t think it does anybody any good when public servants are denigrated, or vilified, or have their rights infringed upon,” Obama said.




.

Gov. Scott Walker on Monday afternoon responded to comments Barack Obama made earlier in the day about the protests in Madison:


Walker’s office issued this statement:

Office of the Gov. Scott Walker

Walker's website






.





Reuters

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday warned the 14 Democrat State Senators who have fled to Illinois that they must return and vote on the Governor’s “Budget Repair Bill” or there will be “dire consequences.”

Those consequences are layoffs of state workers, which Walker said would be necessary if they are unable to move forward with the budget bill. Walker said layoffs are the last thing he wants to do. But it will be unavoidable if the Democrats refuse to allow the budget process to move forward in order to deal with the state’s $3.6 Billion deficit.


.


Friday morning after the Assembly vote to approve Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill Democrat State Rep. Gordon Hintz turned to Republican Rep. Michelle Litjens and said: “You are F***king dead!”

620 WTMJ

State Rep. Gordon Hintz was issued a municipal citation in Appleton earlier this month for violating a city sexual misconduct ordinance.

Appleton police said the citation was issued Feb. 10 in conjunction with an ongoing investigation of Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor, 342 W. Wisconsin Ave., in Appleton. Police searched the business and a nearby residence in the 1300 block of North Division Street Jan. 28, after investigators had staked out the properties for several days after receiving a tip.

Last Friday…. after the Assembly voted to engross the Budget Repair Bill, Hintz turned to a female colleague, Rep. Michelle Litjens and said: “You are F***king dead!”

Hintz was arrested for sexual misconduct earlier in the week – in a prostitution sting.

Wild Thing's comment........

If the legislatures don’t want to work, then fire them and get some who do.

God Bless Gov. Walker for calling this union-puppet clown out. I sure hope he continues to be strong about this.


“I’m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues in Wisconsin, and isn’t acting like the union bosses in saying one thing and doing another.”

SSSSSSSMACK!!!!.........Great one! Walker damns obama with faint praise. Better put some ice on that, 0bama!
In boxing this would be a knock down for a 10 count.

I'm sure Obama knows...

I can hear the sarcasm in the statements loud and clear.


Walker is standing up and telling people the truth, even if it is not a pleasant truth. Then he offers SOLUTIONS, while Obama leaves it to others to find the solutions. Walker’s budget plan?... Tough choices, realistic assumptions. Obama’s budget plan?.....Even the Democrats said Obama’s budget is a bad joke, phony ‘savings’ and unrealistic projections.

Cornstalked: As the 14 Wisconsin Democrats run, meet the numerous Illinois Tea Party activists giving chase




Free market capitalism at its finist. Go Rockford! LOL ~ Wild Thing

"In the video you never find anyone who's a senator but you do find people getting away from the work place world" says John Groh, President of the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

It's meant to highlight "getaway spots" and deals at restaurants, sporting events.
And of course, the clock tower where the senators first arrived.

"It’s very very cute, a way of turning lemons into lemonade." says Dwight Hophauf, GM of Clock Tower Resort.

Even Rockford’s own “Cheap Trick" guitarist Rick Nielsen showed off a hiding spot.

"I’ve been hiding out here 40 or 50; I don't even remember how many years.” says Nielsen.

And while one state continues to search for them, another nearby city is just glad they stopped by.

Cornstalked: As the 14 Wisconsin Democrats run, meet the numerous Illinois Tea Party activists giving chase

The Daily Caller

To say that 14 Wisconsin Democrats are “on the lam” in Illinois is an understatement. Relentlessly hounded by Illinois Tea Party members, they are truly, on the run.


No matter which podunk border town the senators try to hide in, they are running all the time thanks to highly effective efforts of conservative activists who have streamlined their “search party” by utilizing Facebook, email blasts and quick video posts. Who knew the Tea Party would be so good at bounty hunting 2.0?

On Thursday, The Missing 14 unsubtly crashing the Clock Tower Resort’s Choloholic Frolic in Rockford, Ill. David Hale, the Rockford Tea Party, and his camera began stalking the resort pestering the senators. By Saturday, some of the Missing 14 had skipped over to the city’s Holiday Inn — and were reportedly seen at Hooters having a last supper of sorts — when Hale waltzed into the hotel’s lobby and confronted them with his camera and questions like, “Senators! Why won’t go home and do your job.”

Probably aware that a posse of 14 pasty bureaucrats will stick out in a crowd, the senators did what any fugitive chain gang would do: They cut the links and went in separate directions. One did the smart thing and disappeared into the polished back alleys of the Windy City, where only the New York Times could find him.

By the following Monday, eight of the 14 had gone 30 miles northeast to the two-hotel town of Harvard (Pop. 9,000ish) thinking it might be a good place to “hide.” It took just one tip from a “concerned citizen,” however, before a few amateurs Illinois activist descended upon the hotel, causing enough trouble commotion for the senators to quickly pack it up.

Mary Alger, the coordinator of the McHenry County Tea Party was was grocery shopping when she got the tip. Dropping off the produce, making a quick sign and skirting 15mins Northwest to Harvard, she met up with “Doc,” a member of the Northern Illinois Tea Party who holds down a full-time job when he’s not hunting Democrats. Lori White, a Spring Grove resident, showed up after responding to a Facebook post on the Rockford Tea Party site asking if anyone near Harvard was willing to drop by the hotel, preferably with a video camera.

The hotel called the cops on “Doc” and Mary because they were trespassing, so Doc skedaddled and at a nearby McDonald’s Mary waited for White to arrive into town. Unfortunately, White got there just in time to see four senators piled into a tiny Mazda behind her — the make, model and license plate she’d gotten after responding to the Facebook post. As she fumbled for her video camera, the senators sped off, up Highway 23. Though she tried to follow, White eventually lost them. Not that she’ll stop helping out in the other bounty hunters.

Meanwhile, a local paper published a picture of one of them Democrats. Northern Ill Tea Party board member Joe Terrell had not only set up a “Flee Party Tracker” Facebook page but was able to do some magic thanks to information sharing and basic internet research.

“Based on that picture, a list of Democratic donors and Google Earth we were able to identify where it was taken,” said Terrell. And with that, he posted the citizens equivalent to what the police like to refer to as an APB — an All Points Bulletin.

For the past week and a half, this has been the regular rhyme and flow of both the Wisconsin state senators and the amateur bounty hunters tracking them down. Each time the senators find a place to hide, some local resident sends a quick Facebook note or records a few minutes of footage so that tea party members around Northern Illinois can coordinate confrontations no more dangerous than a slightly pushy reporter asking, “Why are you running?”

One local Tea Party group claims to have 80-100 people attending it’s monthly meeting. Multiply that by several Northern Illinois counties as well as tea party supporters networking online and the number of vigilant citizens looking for the 14 Democrats is in the hundreds, if not thousands. Everyone already knows why The Missing 14 refuse to go home (something about unions, right?), so why exactly are they hiding? Gov. Walker hasn’t issued any warrants for their arrest and Illinois doesn’t legally recognize bounty hunters. The truth is, the Missing 14 are running from bad publicity and an army of tea party enthusiasts almost serving as citizen journalists. So who exactly are these people doing all the chasing, and how are they doing it?


~ snipet ~

Meanwhile, the Illinois Tea Party is only getting better and better at keeping the spotlight on the elusive ones. There’s still the constant phone calls and emails and Facebook posts between activists. But now, even the entire city of Rockford is drawing attention to the Wisconsin 14. The city’s promotional organization just launched a “Hideaway in Rockford” campaign. Soundbite: “Here in Rockford, ( see VIDEO ABOVE ) our doors are wide open, we want people to come here and hideaway, from whatever they’re trying to get away from.”

Unrelenting public mockery, though, that’s tough to hide from.

Good for the Tea Party for tracking them down and keeping them nervous. Fantastic!!! As Rush noted the other day, this used to be the job of news media.

Hopefully, the taxpayers aren’t paying for this ridiculous charade by the rats, their food, and hotel bills etc.

Great ad! Mocking the cowardice of Wisconsin Democrats has entered a new phase!

‘Defending Liberty’: Defiant Clarence Thomas Slams Critics for ‘Undermining’ High Court ~ Thank You Judge Thomas!





‘Defending Liberty’: Defiant Clarence Thomas Slams Critics for ‘Undermining’ High Court


Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas – his impartiality under attack from liberals because of his attendance at a meeting of conservative donors sponsored by the Koch brothers and his wife’s tea party activism – struck a defiant tone in a Saturday night speech in Charlottesville, Va., telling a friendly audience that he and his wife “believe in the same things” and “are focused on defending liberty.”

Delivering the keynote speech at an annual symposium for conservative law students, Thomas spoke in vague, but ominous, terms about the direction of the country and urged his listeners to “redouble your efforts to learn about our country so that you’re in a position to defend it.”
He also lashed out at his critics, without naming them, asserting they “seem bent on undermining” the High Court as an institution. Such criticism, Thomas warned, could erode the ability of American citizens to fend off threats to their way of life.


“You all are going to be, unfortunately, the recipients of the fallout from that – that there’s going to be a day when you need these institutions to be credible and to be fully functioning to protect your liberties,” he said, according to a partial recording of the speech provided to POLITICO by someone who was at the meeting.

“And that’s long after I’m gone, and that could be either a short or a long time, but you’re younger, and it’s still going to be a necessity to protect the liberties that you enjoy now in this country.”

Thomas spoke at the closing banquet for the symposium, which was sponsored by the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group.


It was the first time Thomas has spoken out – at least in a semi-public setting – about the mounting controversies that have swirled around him and his wife, Virginia Thomas, who goes by “Ginni” and who was in Charlottesville with her husband.

The justice’s critics have argued that his attendance at, and speech to, a private January 2008 gathering of major conservative donors sponsored by the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers in Palm Springs, Calif. and his wife’s political activism have compromised his position on the court.

God Love and Protect this stellar American.


I have immense respect for Clarence Thomas. I highly recommend his autobiography My Grandfather’s Son and am amazed and humbled by how hard he worked, both physically and academically, from a young age into manhood, unlike a large percentage of American kids today who have never experienced a hard day’s labor. God bless Justice Thomas and his family, and God help those who perpetuate evil against them.


A genuine decent, honest patriotic American - which is precisely why obama and his pals want him destroyed.

Emphasizing the importance of the Supreme Court, Thomas said “It’s not a game with me. It doesn’t deal with any ego stuff with me. This is about our country. And one of the things I want to do is I want to go to my grave knowing that I gave everything I had to trying to get it right.”

God Bless Justice Thomas.

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) Not Ruling Out VP Bid: " I'm always willing to serve my country"


West speaking last November at one of the Tea Party events.


Allen West not ruling out VP bid: 'I'm always willing to serve my country'

The Hill

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) is not closing the door to being considered for the vice presidential spot, despite only having served in Congress for less than three months.

Speculation over West was sparked Friday when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who is considering a presidential bid, said that a number of Florida GOP politicians would do well as vice president, including West.

When asked about Gingrich's comments by WPTV-TV, West asked, "He said that?"


"I have to pray about it and I have to clear it with my wife and two daughters," he added. "I never thought that seven years ago when I retired here I'd be a United States congressman, and that I'd be standing in front of your news camera. So we don't know what the future holds, but I'm always willing to serve my country."

West, 50, is one of two black Republicans elected to Congress in the 2010 midterm elections, which saw the GOP take control of the House with the backing of Tea Party activists. Florida has never had a candidate on a national ticket, according to WPTV.




Wild Thing's comment........


Talk about heads exploding on the left if he was on a ticket for President or VP one day. America’s Armed Forces need to be led by a warrior , not by gaggles of liberal lawyers .They deserve it and I just thank God that he won his eledtion last Nov. and he is in Florida. Whatever he does I feel it will be the best for America.

Colonel West, I would vote for you in a heartbeat, but please, please stay away from RINO Gingrich.


Allen West: West is a patriot, he reveres the U.S. Constitution and he talks about it. He reveres our Republic and our democracy, and he talks about it.


Palin and West....sounds good. heh heh

Just thinking of West telling Biden.... not to blow sunshine up his butt. LOL! hahahha


Infamously, if you are a Liberal, and famously if you are a Conservative, West gave a belligerent Iraqi civilian police office the opportunity to tell him who was killing soldiers:


Lt. Col. Allen B. West was told the policeman was uncooperative, so he took a few of his men to the interrogation area to see for himself, where he found the prisoner being questioned by two female officers. They told him the man was belligerent, and wasn't giving them any information. (Surprise, surprise. The idiocy of having women question male Arab prisoners is apparent to everyone except the army commanders.) West entered the room, sat across from the man, drew his pistol, and placed it in his lap.

West told him he had come to either get information, or to kill him. The prisoner responded by smiling and saying, "I love you."


After about 20 more minutes of useless questioning, West then had his men take the prisoner outside. West grabbed the man, held him down near a box full of sand used to discharge jammed weapons, and said something like, "This is it. I'm going to count to five again, and if you don't give me what I want, I'm going to kill you." West held the man down, counted to five, and then fired his pistol into the discharging box about a foot from the Iraqi's head. He began talking. Over the next few minutes, the prisoner gave very specific information about the plot. He named the conspirators, gave times and dates of the assassination plan, and even described how attacks would be made.

After the Iraqi talked, there were no more attacks on U.S. forces. For this, Lt. Col. West was relieved of this campaign:

He was told he would go through an Article 32, which is about the same as a Grand Jury hearing. At the hearing he was asked if he would do the same thing again.


West replied "if it's about the lives of my men and their safety, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."

Congress sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army in support of him with 95 signatories.

RNC: Stop Obama And His Union Bosses



Democrats and public employee unions continue to obstruct Republican reforms to tackle the debt at all levels of government and move the country forward. Stop Obama and his union bosses today.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Corrupt Democrats have succeeded in forcing all of us , as a Conservative American, to pay for their party. Our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves.


Discontinuing the forced support of union employees by taxpayers would be a sound first step.

Wisconsin Assembly Passes Walker's Bill!!!!




Shouting "Shame!" on Wisconsin Assembly floor before "union-busting" budget bill vote

This is video from the gallery of the WI Assembly past 1 AM in the morning on 2/25/2011. The Democrats have just been told by the speaker pro tempore there will be no more debate before the vote, even though there were more than a dozen Democrats in the queue to speak. They shout "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

Wisconsin Assembly Charges Toward Vote on Budget Bill, Senate Remains Stuck


FOX News

Wisconsin Republicans in the state Assembly charged toward a vote on their controversial budget bill Thursday after compelling Democrats to limit debate, though the Senate remained stuck on account of 14 boycotting lawmakers.

The modest breakthrough on the Assembly side was announced at dawn following more than 42 hours of debate which began Tuesday morning. Under the plan, the Republican majority will allow another 38 amendments to be considered, for no more than 10 minutes apiece. That puts the Assembly on track for a vote perhaps as early as midday.

Though the announcement was pitched as a deal, state Democrats said Republicans were unilaterally bringing the debate to a close. One aide in Minority Leader Peter Barca's office said Republicans gave the Democrats two options: debate 38 additional amendments or end debate immediately.

Democrats, who are in the minority, don't have the votes to stop the bill once the vote occurs.

The movement on the Assembly side, though, stood in contrast to the situation in the Senate, where 14 Democratic lawmakers were still absent, blocking a vote on Gov. Scott Walker's plan to curb union benefits and collective-bargaining rights.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald's office confirmed to Fox News that state patrol officers had once again been dispatched to the homes of Democratic senators in the hope of persuading them to return. However, one of the 14 absent lawmakers said the caucus is still out of state and will not be swayed by police showing up at their doors. Democratic Sen. Jon Erpenbach said the senators will not be returning Thursday.

Passage of the bill in the Assembly would be a victory for Republicans and Walker, but the measure must still clear the Senate.


The battle over labor rights has been heating up across the country, as new Republican majorities tackle budget woes in several states. The GOP efforts have sparked huge protests from unions and their supporters and led Democrats in Wisconsin and Indiana to flee their states to block measures.


Walker reiterated Wednesday that public workers must make concessions to avoid thousands of government layoffs as the state grapples with a $137 million shortfall in its current budget and a projected $3.6 billion hole in the next two-year budget.

The marathon session in the Assembly was grand political theater, with exhausted lawmakers limping around the chamber, rubbing their eyes and yawning as Wednesday night dragged on.


Around midnight, Rep. Dean Kaufert, R-Neenah, accused Democrats of putting on a show for the protesters. Democrats leapt up and started shouting.

"I'm sorry if democracy is a little inconvenient and you had to stay up two nights in a row," Pocan said. "Is this inconvenient? Hell, yeah! It's inconvenient. But we're going to be heard!"

It passed It Passed!

Just saw the 2:30 am ET breaking news update on Fox News... the Wisconsin Assembly did indeed pass Gov. Walker's bill! WOO HOO!!!

The Dems would have walked out but GOP Stopped Debate and took the vote, Quick and sweet! Dems yelling shame, shame, shame, over and over, while Elvis(GOP) left the building!


This was the first huddle! Now the Senate still must pass the bill. This was just the Assembly. It has to go to the
Senate and then on to the Gov. But the way it passed was awesome! They may be voting on the bill later today.


This is a great move forward for freedom and liberty. Congratulations Wisconsin, and may the rest of the states emulate you!

CAIR Confronts Congressman Lt Col Allen West At Townhall Meeting Hosted By West






At a townhall meeting hosted by Congressman Allen West on Monday evening in Pompano Beach, the Q&A segment of the meeting featured a Koran wielding Nezar Hamze, Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Hamze confronted Congressman West and asked him to point out where in the Koran does it give marching orders to Muslims “to carry out attacks against Americans and innocent people”. West quickly pointed out that the Koran was written long before America even existed and that it does indeed tell believers to kill infidels, and then proceeded to chronicle a lengthy list of historical Muslim acts of aggression. Congressman West closed his retort by referencing the Fort Hood shootings and 9-11 attacks, saying that his first hand experiences on the battlefield has given him insight into the tactics that Islamists use.

The diolague continues and an exasperated West finally retorts, “Dont come up hear and try to blow sunshine up my butt!!”


West took offense to Hamze’s amateurish criticism of his stance on radical Islam and concluded by telling Mr. Hamze to “put the microphone down and go home.”

Donald Rumsfeld Speaks The Truth: Obama Apologizes for America



Obama apologizes for America: Rumsfeld


WASHINGTON

US President Barack Obama has a habit of apologizing for the United States and did nothing to earn his Nobel Peace Prize, former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Sunday.

Asked whether Obama had turned international favor back toward the United States after eight years of president George W. Bush's administration, Rumsfeld rejected the premise.

"No, and I don't think there's data that supports that," he said in an interview with CNN. "I think he has made a practice of trying to apologize for America. I personally am proud of America."


Rumsfeld said Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize "on hope" instead of his accomplishments, something Obama himself suggested at the time.


"Well, he had not accomplished a thing when he got the Nobel Prize. It was given to him on hope. Had to have been because there wasn't anything that he'd done. He'd been in office 15 minutes," Rumsfeld said.


When he was awarded the prize, Obama acknowledged that he did not feel deserving of the honor only months after becoming president.


"I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee. Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said.


Rumsfeld is promoting his autobiography "Known and Unknown," which defends many of his controversial actions as defense secretary from 2001-2006 under Bush, including his role in deciding to invade Iraq and establish the "war on terror" prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.




Wild Thing's comment.......

I am so glad Rumsfled said this. It needs to be said by as many people that have a voice in the media as possible.

Obama has turned America from a country not to be messed with into a proverbial fire hydrant that every mad dog in the world has lined up to lift their leg on.


Obama has sought to apologize for the actions of the USA when addressing a foreign audience--including some of the apologies listed below. The obama has already apologized for the US to nearly 3 billion people across Europe, the Muslim world, and the Americas.

1.. Apology to France and Europe ("America Has Shown Arrogance")

"In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."

2. Apology to the Muslim World ("We Have Not Been Perfect") Obama, interview with Al Arabiya, January 27, 2009

"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect. But if you look at the track record, as you say, America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that."

3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas ("At Times We Sought to Dictate Our Terms")
Obama, address to the Summit of the Americas opening ceremony, Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, April 17, 2009

"I know that promises of partnership have gone unfulfilled in the past, and that trust has to be earned over time. While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. But I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership. .......The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made."

4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders ("Some Restoration of America's Standing in the World")

"I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we've made, that you're starting to see some restoration of America's standing in the world. "

These are only a few of the many, too many times obama has apologized for our country. And done so with lies.

The last three democrat administrations, including the current one, have all been run by spoiled unaccomplished children who favor our enemies, support marxism and hate the USA.

Herman Cain Speaks At Tea Party Rally To Show Support For Gov.Walker in Madison, Wis.





Herman Cain rallying Tea Party Members in Madison, Wisconsin in support of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Thousands of conservatives descended on Madison to show support for the sanity Gov. Scott Walker is trying to bring to the state’s budget.

The rally was designed to let Walker and the nation know that there is a huge amount of support for what he is doing in the face of protests from the pro-union lobby in the state, which is being aided and organized with the help of the Democrat National Committee and Obama’s Organizing for America.

Cain said Wisconsins elected a “sane, strong leader by the name of Scott Walker,” and he is doing his job. Cain asked “the other side,” “What part of ‘broke’ don’t ya’ll understand?” Cain said Walker is trying to prevent the state from becoming, “dead broke,” because being “dead broke ain’t a pretty feeling.”


Cain proclaimed the battle in Wisconsin as “ground zero for taking back our nation one state at a time.” He ended with his refrain that, “We the people of the United States of America are not going to let the United States of America become the United States of Europe – not on our watch!”




Wild Thing's comment......

AMEN to that ! Herman Cain is such a great speaker, he is always good. He’s got a common sense, business-oriented focus, and it’s refreshing.

Wisconsin handily elected Walker after he ran on this issue, and they handily elected Republicans in both houses of the legislature after running on this issue...it’s awesome!

Wisconsin flipped from navy blue to bright red overnight!

The ‘rats and the unions are having a hard time fathoming.

Tea Partiers Rally in Madison to Support GOP Gov. Scott Walker ~ " America is going to be community organized NO More"





Tea Party Movement Brings in 15,000 Protesters to Madison With 24 Hour Notice...... in support of GOP Gov. Scott Walker and his plan to balance the state’s budget. Walker wants to end collective bargaining rights for public sector workers as a way to get costs under control. The report says that the Tea Party protest on the Capitol Grounds was surrounded by pro-Union / anti-Walker protesters who marched around the outside of the Capitol Grounds shouting, “Kill the bill.”

And they paid their own way!


The AP estimated that 70,000 protesters turned out in Madison today. If that number is accurate then at least 15,000 were Walker supporters.



.





" America is going to be community organized NO MORE! "

Breitbart's speech at the tea party rally in Madison. Great opening line here from Andrew, he also calls out the doctors for writing out Dr. notes saying that lying shows a poor example to children who are watching.

Wild Thing's comment......

Love the first line of Breitbarts speech. That should be on t-shirts and stickers. " America is going to be community organized NO More"

What a huge difference once again we see in the people for America vs. the goons wanting to destroy America.

Obama has shown he is an agitator, and loves to see conflict, because of the conflict he believes he and his desires will win.

House Speaker John Boehner Unleashes New GOP Freshmen ~ Fantastic Work Speaker Boehner!!!



Speaker of the House John Boehner, (R) of Ohio, arrives for a news conference at Republican National Committee headquarters Tuesday, Feb. 15. Unlike his predecessor Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Boehner is much more willing to let individual lawmakers act independently.



House Speaker John Boehner Unleashes New GOP Freshmen

House Speaker John Boehner is taking a sharp turn from former speaker Nancy Pelosi's command-and-control style. He's letting his new freshmen act more independently. The battle to cut spending while avoiding a government shutdown is the first test.


Washington

The schedule was shot – final votes on a massive bill to fund the government past March 4 had been set for Thursday -- the House floor had just erupted in hoots and shouts, and John Boehner, Speaker of the House for just 45 days, was beaming.


“This was like diving off a 50-foot diving board your first dive – to do all of government,” the Ohio Republican told a handful of reporters in an impromptu meeting Friday night, just off the House floor. “There’s no example of the People’s House better than what you’ve seen here. They’ve had a real debate, and they loved it.”

Not everyone loved it. Senior Democrats – who had seen their legacy on issues ranging from health care reform and financial regulation to greening initiatives in the Capital defunded by the new majority this week – called it a travesty.

“The only good thing about it is that it will go nowhere,” said Rep. Barney Frank (D) of Massachusetts, whose signature Wall Street reform law was drained of resources by floor votes this week.

But for the bumper crop of Republican freshmen – the engine of the new majority – this week marked a decisive coming out.


Many waited until late Friday night to present their own amendments to an omnibus bill to scale back a projected $1.6 trillion deficit for FY 2011. The right to offer amendments on legislation had all but disappeared in the highly polarized House in recent years. For a freshman to have a shot at amending a bill was an event rarer still.

This week, a dozen GOP freshmen stood up on the floor to manage their own amendments. By the end of the week, the time allotted to make their case on the floor had dropped to three minutes, including time to offer to colleagues supporting your amendment.


Boehner says it’s just what he wants.


“This open debate is teaching a lot of members to be legislators,” he said, in remarks to journalists on Friday. “Half of the freshmen have never served in public office. Allowing them to participate in this will speed up their development as legislators.”

This is vintage Boehner, who helped lead the Republican revolution that took back the House in 1995.


“If we’re able to continue with as open a process as we can have, it will drive major change in the institution,” he said on Friday. “With an open process that respects the work of committees, you’ll see more working across the aisles and more healthy debate…. All of our differences get thawed out on the floor of the House.”

'My job is not to enforce my will'

Asked whether he can control the 87-member freshmen class, he said: “Our job is not to have control over them. That’s not the way the House should be run…. My job is to protect the institution, not enforce my will … to restore an institution that has been badly damaged over a long time.”

That’s exactly what concerns Senate Democrats, who now must decide how to come to terms with a bill that both majority leader Harry Reid and President Obama have rejected.


Boehner announced on Thursday that he will not accept an extension of the continuing resolution (CR) now funding government without spending cuts. If the House and Senate do not agree on a bill to fund the government by March 4, the government shuts down.

Boehner and the freshmen are facing two other major votes on spending: Next, a vote to pass a budget resolution for FY 2012 and, later this spring, a highly controversial vote to raise the national debt limit above $14.3 trillion.


“These will be the most important two or three months we’ve seen in this town in a decade,” he said, on Friday. Then, he smiled.



Wild Thing's comment.......

This really shows how Pelosi was a real tyrant! There should be MORE deal making in House, and certainly each of our respecitive Representatives should have a voice, rather than running everything by just a few leaders.


“Command and Control” should be the Democrat's Party’s motto.


The Freshmen are having a huge impact for only being in office for 6 weeks. AND Speaker Boehner supports them. He's not being a RINO here. Better yet, he's not Nancy and he has Barney Frank all a dither!

Disgusted Allen West to Dems: Grow Up!



Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Allen West, now Republican Representative from Florida
He sent a letter to his constituency yesterday.



Newsmax


To the Citizens of the Twenty-Second District of the State of Florida:

Over this past week I have watched and listened to Members of the House of Representatives from across the aisle.

I am appalled at their arrogance, belligerence, and dishonest rhetoric filled with empty emotional platitudes. Have they no shame in realizing that their inept, incompetent failures are the reason why we are debating this continuing resolution. They failed to pass a budget during the 111th Congress.

Have they no honor in realizing that their fiscal irresponsibility over the past four years has resulted in our standing on the precipice of a fiscal canyon from which we may not recover?

Also troubling are the events in the state of Wisconsin which mirror those that happened in Greece several months ago. We are witnessing the abject hostility of a unionized entitlement class that is being lauded by the liberal left, seemingly to include our President.

It is such a critical time for our Republic, yet there seems no visionary leadership – it is as if American stopped producing adults. I have never seen a greater assembly of petulance and sophomoric behavior as what I have witnessed this week on the floor of the House of Representatives.

To those across the aisle, please explain to the American people how your economic policies have created a better environment for long term sustainable growth.

This debate is about jobs and the economy.

It begins with remedying the spending problem on Capitol Hill. It includes tackling the burdensome taxation and regulation policies strangling our country. It is the understanding that Keynesian tax and spend policies did not grow America's economy, but the indomitable, entrepreneurial spirit of the American People.

Government sets the conditions for job and economic growth, it does not create jobs.

I am pleased that we are having open debate in the people's house. However, there is clearly something lacking in this discourse – the recognition of the failure of the bureaucratic nanny-state liberal policies.

Rest assured that I will do everything in my ability to stand firm and lead on the principles that make America exceptional.

Very Respectfully,

Allen B. West



Wild Thing's comment.......

APPLAUSE!!!! Lt. Col. West does not suffer fools lightly.

Here’s a leader who has served with real men and women and knows a flake a mile away. God Bless Allen West and keep him in the fight.

I don’t think anyone in congress is prepared for this guy. A buttkicking American in the purest sense of the term who understands why our country is great.

It is going to be a thing of beauty watching him in D.C. because he won’t back down and he wins more friends every time he is heard.

Honor, Integrity, Sense of Purpose, and Patriotism....SOOOOO REFRESHING!!!

Tea Party Leaders To Show Support For Gov.Walker and America Madison, Wisconsin And To Counter Union Thugs



Tea Party Leaders Plan Descent on Madison, Wisconsin To Counter Union Rallies


The Daily Caller

Tea Party leaders are organizing a counter-rally in Madison, Wisc. to support newly elected Republican Gov. Scott Walker against the labor unions that have been protesting his proposed budget cuts all week. Conservative media guru Andrew Breitbart, possible 2012 presidential candidate Herman Cain and other notables are en route to Madison for the counter-rally, scheduled to begin at noon central time on Saturday.


Walker is pushing a new budget that would eliminate some collective bargaining privileges for public sector employees, which he says has been a long time coming. Wisconsin’s Democratic state senators fled on Thursday to thwart a vote on the measure. There are 19 Republican senators, and while they hold the majority, 20 senators total are required for a vote. So the budget cannot pass until the GOP gets one more senator on board.

Public sector unions, led by the Democratic National Committee’s lobbying and campaign arm, “Organizing for America,” have descended on the state’s capitol in an effort to keep Walker’s budget from being approved. Big-name union bosses such as AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka have bussed in union folks from around the country to support the cause, and Jesse Jackson appeared in Madison as well. Several public schools throughout the state have closed down due to teachers calling in sick to protest.

Saturday’s counter-rally is the first of many likely counter-attacks from Tea Partiers.

Breitbart told The Daily Caller he’s not sure what he’ll see when he arrives in Wisconsin, but expects it will be “the same familiar faces” that back other left-wing movements.
“I’m expecting hostility because dissent is no longer patriotic in Obama’s America,” Breitbart said.


Breitbart said this weekend’s rally will be important — a historic battleground of sorts — because it will show the Tea Party movement is alive and kicking despite a decrease in activity following the midterm elections.

He said it’s time for the press to stop defending the Obama administration and start pointing out the “illogical rhetoric” of the union bosses and so-called civil rights leaders.


“This is an important stance for the Tea Party,” Breitbart said. “The Tea Party is perpetuating safe, clean, wholesome rhetoric and activity versus the violent, racial, hateful and revolutionary rhetoric coming from the organized left.”



Wild Thing's comment........

Obama has fueled the flames by backing the union thuggocracy. If there is violence as the two sides protest at the Wisconsin Capital building, it is on Obama hands.

The union thugs who have occupied the Capital area all week have left trash EVERYWHERE, painted graffiti on buildings, and have no respect for civil society.


Prayers for their safety.

House Cuts Off Funding For Obamacare & Planned Parenthood ~ HUGE Thank you!!




House cuts off funding for healthcare reform, Planned Parenthood


The Hill

House on Friday voted largely along party lines to prohibit funding for President Obama’s healthcare reform law and eliminate funding for family planning.

In a quick succession of two-minute votes, the House adopted three amendments to their stopgap budget bill that eliminates healthcare reform funding through the end of the fiscal year. The House also approved, 240-185, an amendment barring federal Title X family planning grants that was aimed squarely at Planned Parenthood.

The vote on the Planned Parenthood amendment from Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) was postponed Thursday night after three hours of bitter debate during which Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) revealed she once had to have an abortion. She made the revelation on the House floor after Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) described in graphic detail an abortion procedure.

“I really planned to speak about something else but the gentleman from New Jersey just put my stomach in knots because I’m one of those women he spoke about just now,” Speier said. “I had a procedure at 17 weeks pregnant with a child who moved from the vagina into the cervix. And that procedure that you just described is a procedure that I endured.”


The other three amendments bar federal funding for the healthcare reform law:


an amendment from health appropriations subcommittee Chair Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) blocks 2011 funding for the health and labor departments to implement the healthcare reform law;

an amendment from Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) blocks all federal funding for the law; and


an amendment from Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.) bars the Internal Revenue Service from using funds to enforce the law's individual mandate requiring Americans to have insurance by 2014. Two federal courts have ruled that the mandate is unconstitutional.

The continuing resolution faces high hurdles in the Democrat-controlled Senate. And President Obama announced he "strongly opposes" it before the new amendments even passed.

"If the president is presented with a bill that undermines critical priorities or national security through funding levels or restrictions, contains earmarks, or curtails the drivers of long-term economic growth and job creation while continuing to burden future generations with deficits, the president will veto the bill," the administration said this week.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Hallelujah

Let us all remember this wonderful day and realize that this GOP House is doing what they promised if elected.


The way I understand it is, according to the Constitution, all bills to spend money must originate in the House. The President can propose any spending he wants to, but that's just for show until the House puts said spending into a bill and send it over to the Senate. Then, if they approve it, the President must sign it for the bill to become law and to actually get the money spent.

So, in this case if the House doesn't put the spending into the budget bill, then the money can't get spent. The Senate and the President can stand on their heads, and it will do no more good than King Cannute getting ticked off about the tide rolling in.

The key here, now that these funds have been stripped out of the bill, is strictly and solely that the House Republicans have to stick to their guns, stay strong and not give in no matter what.


This is very heartening news.

THIS, my FRiends.........is a GOOD day for America!

GOP Votes To Defund Obama's Policy 'czars'





The Hill

The House GOP approved an amendment to a government-spending bill that would block funding for the Obama administration’s so-called policy "czars,” appointed advisers to the president that have been much-criticized by Republicans.

The vote was 249-171.


Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), specifically targets Obama’s “climate czar” by blocking funding for the assistant to the president for energy and climate change, the position's official title.


The amendment would block funding for the 'czars' through the end of the fiscal year, when the spending bill would run out. The underlying bill also includes a provision to block funding for the position.

"I think this sends a strong signal to the president that we are tired of him running this shadow government, where they have got these czars that are literally circumventing the accountability and scrutiny that goes with Senate confirmation," Scalise said after the vote.


Carol Browner, who currently holds the position, announced last month that she will resign, leaving the future of the office in doubt.

Scalise said the measure blocking the czars also makes good fiscal sense.


"We are going to save millions of taxpayer dollars, but we are also going to send him a signal that he is going to have to hold his administration accountable to the same transparency that he promised, but has unfortunately failed to deliver," he said.


Republicans railed against Browner and Obama’s other policy advisers, arguing they played too great a role in the president’s policy decisions for officials that were appointed rather than confirmed by Congress.

The amendment would also prohibit funding for the director of the White House Office of Health Reform; the State Department’s special envoy for climate change; the special adviser for green jobs, enterprise and innovation at the Council on Environmental Quality; the senior adviser to the secretary of the treasury assigned to the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry and senior counselor for manufacturing policy; the White House director of urban affairs; the special envoy to oversee the closure of Guantanamo Bay; the special master for TARP executive compensation at the Department of the Treasury; and the associate general counsel and chief diversity officer at the Federal Communications Commission.


Wild Thing's comment.........


Excellent news! This is GRRRRREAT news! The financial effect might not be that huge , but it relieves the citizenry of a few tyrants.

241 Republicans and 193 Democrats in the House! Looks like we picked up 8 Dems.


The List of Obama’s Czars this is over at Glenn Beck's website and it says there 32 Obama czars that they have counted.

In addition, President Obama has said that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring the total to 35.

McConnell Speaks About Obama's Budget "The Clearest Sign Yet That He Does Not Take Our Fiscal Problems Seriously"








McConnell on the Senate Floor: Obama's Budget "The Clearest Sign Yet That He Does Not Take Our Fiscal Problems Seriously"

McConnell really hits back here saying it's unserious and irresponsible. "The budget was an opportunity for the president to lead, he punted. It only pretends to do things people want...Nobody is buying it...He's clearly misread a public that has had enough"

MCCONNELL: "It’s a patronizing plan that says to the American people that their concerns are not his concerns, It’s a plan that says the president’s vision of a future of trains and windmills is more important than a balanced checkbook, it’s a plan that asks our children to pay for an imaginary vision of the future that may or may not come about"


How the President’s Budget Destroys Jobs: $8.7 Trillion in New Spending, $1.6 Trillion in New Taxes, $13 Trillion in New Debt

From Speaker John Boehner:

Obama sent Congress a $3.73 trillion budget that destroys jobs by spending too much, taxing too much and borrowing too much. The House and Senate Budget Committees, led by Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-AL) respectively, have provided an overview of how President Obama’s budget will make it harder to create new jobs today and mortgages the future of our children and grandchildren. For example, the Obama Administration wants to:

The House and Senate Budget Committees have provided an overview of how President Obama’s budget will make it harder to create new jobs today and mortgages the future of our children and grandchildren. For example, the Obama Administration wants to:


*Increase spending by more than $8.7 trillion, despite the recommendation of 150 economists who have told the White House that spending cuts are needed to create a better environment for job creation;

*Impose $1.6 trillion in new taxes, imposing higher costs on job creators and creating more uncertainty at a time when our unemployment rate has been at or above nine percent for 21 consecutive months;
*Add $13 trillion to the national debt, doubling the debt over the President’s first term and tripling it in the 10 years after he first took office

Wild Thing's comment........


And John Boehner said the budget will impose $1.6 trillion in new taxes, imposing higher costs on job creators and creating more uncertainty at a time when our unemployment rate has been at or above nine percent for 21 consecutive months .

Obama Akbar screams death to America!!!!

Muslim coke-head Obama is trying to destroy America from within, how much more evidence will it take till people start to wake up? He needs to be impeached for reckless destruction of America and THAT list is very long.


The 15 Tax Hikes Hidden in Obama’s New Budget

Over the last two years, the president has regularly touted his fight to lower taxes for Americans. In fact, his latest budget proposal offered up today is being billed as a package of tough cuts. But buried within the budget’s rhetoric and numerous pages are actually a healthy amount of increases — tax increases, that is. 15 of them.

The folks over at Business Insider note “the budget contains as much as $1.5 trillion in hikes over ten years,” thanks to some diligent sleuthing by the group Americans for Tax Reform.

Here are the hidden increases:

Raising the top marginal income tax rate (at which a majority of small business profits face taxation) from 35% to 39.6%. This is a $709 billion/10 year tax hike


Raising the capital gains and dividends rate from 15% to 20%


Raising the death tax rate from 35% to 45% and lowering the death tax exemption amount from $5 million ($10 million for couples) to $3.5 million. This is a $98 billion/ten year tax hike

Capping the value of itemized deductions at the 28% bracket rate. This will effectively cut tax deductions for mortgage interest, charitable contributions, property taxes, state and local income or sales taxes, out-of-pocket medical expenses, and unreimbursed employee business expenses. A new means-tested phaseout of itemized deductions limits them even more. This is a $321 billion/ten year tax hike .


New bank taxes totaling $33 billion over ten years

New international corporate tax hikes totaling $129 billion over ten years

New life insurance company taxes totaling $14 billion over ten years

Massive new taxes on energy, including LIFO repeal, Superfund, domestic energy manufacturing, and many others totaling $120 billion over ten years

Increasing unemployment payroll taxes by $15 billion over ten years

Taxing management capital gains in an investment partnership (“carried interest”) as ordinary income. This is a tax hike of $15 billion over ten years

A giveaway to the trial lawyers—not letting companies deduct the cost of punitive damages from a lawsuit settlement. This is a tax hike of $300 million over ten years

Increasing tax penalties, information reporting, and IRS information sharing. This is a ten-year tax hike of $20 billion.

Some in Black Caucus Embrace GOP Member (Rep.Allen West) , But Others ‘leery’



"For whatever reason, I'm a high profile freshman and the liberal left is absolutely terrified of me," West said. In fact, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already launched a radio campaign against him. "One thing you should never do is let a military man know he gets under your skin, cause I'm gonna exploit that," West said.
When in Washington when away from him home in Florida, West lives in a basement apartment in Washington, D.C. that he affectionately calls the "bat cave" -- an extension of his "batman" nickname from when he was a kid.

West's favorite item in his office is a painting of George Washington at Valley Forge.



The Hill

A conservative lawmaker has made friends with liberal colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), but others are skeptical of him.

Some in the caucus have embraced freshman Rep. Allen West (Fla.), who is the first Republican to join the CBC since 1996.

Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), a CBC member, said, “He’s not like what I’ve read, I’ll say that. He seems to be cordial and friendly. He and I have developed a rapport.”

Still, some are “leery” of West, according to a CBC member who requested anonymity.

West raised some eyebrows in a CBC meeting soon after the assassination attempt of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

After members expressed concern for their safety, West, a two-decade plus Army veteran, said members should consider carrying a concealed weapon.


In an interview with The Hill this week, West said, “They were talking about getting detailed security and I said, ‘Well you just look in your state as far as getting a concealed weapons licensing,’ which is something that I have. I think personal protection starts with yourself, but you just coordinate with local law enforcement to make sure you have collateral security at your events.”


CBC member Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) said West’s suggestion didn’t go over well, adding it was “frowned” on by other lawmakers.

Legislators in the CBC seem sensitive to reports highlighting controversial remarks attributed to West, including one recent statement that appeared to single out fellow CBC member Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) for his Muslim beliefs.

West argued that his initial comment that Ellison’s beliefs “represent the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established” were misconstrued. He said the comments were “not about his Islamic faith, but about his continued support of [the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)].”

CAIR is a controversial group whose critics have alleged that it has ties to Hamas.

West said the media’s coverage of him has not affected his relationships with members of the CBC.
“It doesn’t affect my relationship whatsoever. I define who I am – not someone with a pen and a pad. That’s the most important thing. If folks want to continue to write the kind of foolishness and chicanery that they seem to be up to, let them do that,” West said...

He said he has enjoyed being a part of the CBC, which consists of 43 members.

His decision to join CBC attracted headlines, which he has done often over the last several months.

West hired, and then quickly replaced, a chief of staff who has a history of inflammatory remarks. He said President Obama should put himself in harm’s way when he visits U.S. troops in war zones. And the 50-year-old lawmaker earlier this month appeared with disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.).

Conservative activists have praised West for his frank style and his commitment to cut government spending. West is the keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend.

CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) said West has been “no different than any other member.”

“He’s not alien to Democrats. He is a former military leader who probably speaks in a different tone than a majority of the CBC members on issues of the war and those old social issues that divide Democrats and Republicans,” Cleaver said.


West joined the CBC to offer a different perspective and said his party label has not hindered his ability to fit in.

West indicated he is proud of the CBC, noting it has “a political influence across the entire spectrum. I mean, how often do you have a member of the CBC who’s the keynote speaker of CPAC?”

Rookie U.S. Rep. Allen West taking bulldog's approach


WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Allen West recoils at the word.

"I am not a freshman," the Florida lawmaker says. "I turned 50 yesterday. I spent 22 years in the United States military. I led troops in combat."


Only a month on the job, West is bucking the seen-not-heard advice given to new lawmakers. He is taking a bulldog approach, barreling to the top of political insiders' lists of the most vulnerable members of Congress. A complex figure, West is:

A Republican who joined both the liberal Congressional Black Caucus and the rigidly conservative tea party caucus.

A sharp-talker who rebuked the first elected Muslim lawmaker in Congress and accused his own party leaders of not working hard enough, not cutting the budget deep enough.

A retired Army colonel with credentials to land an appearance on Meet the Press and regular spots on other national TV shows.

A provocative speaker who on Saturday delivered the closing speech at a major gathering of conservative activists in Washington, a slot that had been Sarah Palin's before she canceled.


"We welcome the beliefs of others in America, but our co-existence must be based on a simple premise: When tolerance becomes a one-way street, it leads to cultural suicide. An American cultural value shall never be subjugated to any other as long as I have air in my lungs," West said, stirring thousands to their feet at the Conservative Political Action Conference.


It was 25 minutes of red meat, accusing China of using capitalism "as a weapon against us," pillorying "liberal progressivism," and saying the country needs to reclaim its Judeo-Christian values.

"I have goose bumps," Jane Lawler-Savitske, a 63-year-old tea party follower from Springfield, Va., said after the speech.

One-on-one, West seems detached from the wild campaign persona, the man who spewed invective toward President Barack Obama and "liberals," draped himself in tea party yellow, covered his flat top in a red-white-and-blue bandana, the YouTube sensation.

In white shirtsleeves and with bookish round glasses, West looks like a middle manager — except for the camouflage bag he carries instead of a briefcase. He barely gets animated during a 30-minute interview in his hyper-organized, seventh-floor office, which by coincidence is next to one held by the man who headed the 2010 Democratic campaign effort, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.


"If we sit complacent and if we don't pay attention to what's going on right now, we will find ourselves once again becoming slaves to a tyrannical government," he said at a tea party rally. "You cannot stand down. You cannot stop being vigilant. And just as this T-shirt says … we must tell this government, 'Don't tread on me.' "


When the new Republican leaders of the House announced a work schedule that had members back in their districts more often, he complained to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, "an unusual power play move by a freshman," as the Capitol newspaper the Hill put it.


"The American people are depending upon us to be up here and doing the business of righting the ship," he said.


He was also among freshman Republicans who criticized their leaders' budget-cutting effort, which initially fell far short of the $100 billion promised on the campaign trail. "You start to look like a back-tracker," West said.


The pressure caused budget officials to take another look, and gave weight to the 87 new Republican members. West seems determined to emerge as a voice for the group.

In January, West drew fire for saying that Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim member of Congress, "really does represent the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established." A group of religious leaders condemned West, who insisted he was referring to Ellison's support for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"One of the critical things that if we do not get beyond will end up destroying this country," West said, "is political correctness."




Wild Thing's comment........

I LOVE what he said to them about protection. heh heh That had to make them sit up ! There are just so many good quotes by him and because he takes a strong stand on things he will be in the news more often then some of the others.

Speaker John Boehner: Obama’s Budget Will Destroy Jobs By “Spending Too Much, Borrowing Too Much and Taxing Too Much”








AP

Barack Obama’s budget plan for 2012 would slash the deficit by $1.1 trillion over 10 years, officials said on Sunday, but Republicans were unimpressed and vowed to push for deeper cuts in spending.

White House budget director Jack Lew said the proposal to be unveiled on Monday puts the government on track to halve the budget deficit by the end of Obama’s first term in office, which extends through 2012.

“We are reducing programs that are important programs that we care about, and we’re doing what every family does when it sits around its kitchen table: we’re making the choices about what do we need for the future,” Lew said on CNN.

Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, said Obama’s proposed spending cuts would not do enough to rein in the growing federal deficit and promised their own plan would go further.

“He’s going to present a budget tomorrow that will continue to destroy jobs by spending too much, borrowing too much and taxing too much,” House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”



Wild Thing's comment.......

We need a Tea Party the size of what we saw in Egypt.Can you imagine if that happened and everyone could show up in D.C.

Boehner did a good job on the show Sunday morning, he stayed strong and when they tried get him to cave on things he did not fall for it.

Representative Allen West (R-Florida) Wraps Up C.P.A.C.






CPAC: Rep. Allen West Keynote Speech (Part 1)




.


CPAC: Rep. Allen West Keynote Speech (Part 2)


.


CPAC: Rep. Allen West Keynote Speech (Part 3)


The 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) closed out its three-day event Saturday evening with a rousing keynote address delivered by Rep. Allen West, R-Fla.


Though libertarian-leaning Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, walked away with another straw poll victory this year, West delivered a speech that rejected Paul’s ardent non-interventionist national defense stance, and instead insisted the United States’ role in the world is to lead with moral courage and steadfast leadership against tyranny. One of West’s largest ovations came after he unapologetically declared that America should never abandon her alliance with Israel.


“Peace begins with courageous leaders who are willing to identify and defy our enemies and their objectives,” he said, “Because political correctness has no place in our national security agenda.”


In describing his personal journey to Washington, West took a swipe at critics’ charges of conservative “racism” and pointedly remarked, “Perhaps they should see who is standing up as your keynote speaker.”

The Colonel also touched on the importance of faith and respecting the oath to protect the U.S. Constitution — an oath West said he took “to be a guardian for the conservative principles that make America the greatest nation that the world has ever known.” He also denounced “liberal progressivism” that “has repeatedly failed all over the world.”


The most important pillar for Rep. Allen West? The commitment to one’s own values.

“We do not separate faith from the individual. We must never forget that the American motto is ‘In God We Trust,’” he said. “We welcome the beliefs of others in America, but when tolerance becomes a one-way street it leads to cultural suicide.”


“We stand on the precedence of greatness for this nation, but if we forget what brought us to where we are, if we forget these pillars there will be no America to pass on to our generations,” he concluded.


“If We Are to Have a New Dawn in America, it Means Reclaiming our Judeo-Christian Heritage”

GOP Congress Cuts $100 Billion in Government Spending



Tea Party wins: $100 billion in cuts in House GOP spending bill


The Hill

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) on Friday evening introduced a revised 2011 government spending bill that the GOP said will cut at least $100 billion in spending this fiscal year, bowing to demands by Tea Party-backed House freshmen.

The continuing resolution funding the government after March 4 cuts deeply across all areas of domestic spending and singles out many programs for complete elimination.

In the CR $81 billion has been cut from non-security programs, and security-related programs have been reduced by $19 billion, compared to Obama’s 2011 budget request.

The legislation will increase funding for the Department of Defense by 2 percent over last year’s level.

“This evening, on behalf of House Republicans, Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers introduced a Continuing Resolution that will reduce spending by at least $100 billion in the next 7 months – a historic effort to get our fiscal house in order and restore certainty to the economy,” Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said in a statement.


“At a time when unemployment is too high and economic growth is elusive in part because of the uncertainty created by our skyrocketing debt, this legislation will mark the largest spending cut in modern history and will help restore confidence so that people can get back to work. These are not easy cuts, but we are finally doing what every other American has to do in their households and their businesses, and that’s to begin a path of living within our means,” he said.

Continue reading article HERE....thank you.

The committee had raced to produce the bill Friday in order to leave enough time to hold a vote on the bill next week before the House recesses for a Presidents Day district work period next Friday.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said Friday that there will be three days of debate next week, and an open rule will allow for lots of amendments.


Under a three-day waiting period the GOP instituted in January, the bill debate cannot begin until Tuesday at the earliest.

If the bill is not passed before Presidents Day recess, the House and Senate would have only one week left of work to negotiate out a spending bill before March 4.

If a new CR is not passed by March 4, the government will shut down. Congress can pass short-term extensions of the current CR, however.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Thank God for the TEA PARTY keeping their feet to the fire.

It should be law that the government cannot spend one more dime than they receive. $100B is a good start.


The Dems of course will scream and we will hear stories in the MSM on how the cruel the Conservatives are.

Herman Cain to Obama at CPAC: "U.S. Will Not Become U.S. of Europe on our Watch"



Cain, a one-time Senate candidate and former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, is the most prominent African-American considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination.

“They call me racist too because I happen to disagree with the president,” Cain said at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday. “If you disagree about their liberal leader you must be a racist no matter what color you are.”

Cain said his disagreement with Obama was based on policies, not race. “Some black people can think for themselves,” he said.


He told the crowd: “You are not racist.”



Herman Cain to Obama at CPAC: "U.S. Will Not Become U.S. of Europe on our Watch"

Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC .


Cain called on Americans to “stay involved, stay informed, and stay inspired” in working to see to it that there is a new President in the White House after the 2012 Election. Cain said liberals like Obama are seeking the destruction of the United States as we know it, wanting to turn America into the U.S. of Europe. Cain said that is not going to happen “on our watch.”

Hermain Cain at CPAC

In what was the closing speech of Friday’s CPAC day session, Herman Cain fired up and inspired the troops with what could only be described as one of the most powerful, engaging, and entertaining speeches given yet at the A.C.U.’s 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference.


With poetic prose, creative alliteration, a booming voice and a mix of religious fervor and down to earth, homey lingo, Herman Cain appealed to the moral character and common sense of us all. His delivery was far from timid and often amusing.

Cain warned us of what he called “the attack of the ations”…….legislation, regulation and taxation. He used what he called “health deform legislation” as on example of the legislation attack. Then he cited the cost to small businesses for every single employee they hire as an example of the regulation attack. That cost? $10,000 per employee. His final of the 3 “ataions” was taxation. That he said was based on a current tax system that we must throw out. Adding “Isn’t that what you do when you mess up a cake?”

Cain also informed the audience that Liberals have no strategy. They only have tactics, tactics that he described as S-I-N. He explained their tactics are “Shift the subject, Ignore the facts, and Name call.”

There were many gems offered by the skilled orator and now former conservative radio host, but in his conclusion, Cain outlined 3 things we must do to save this nation.

One; Stay informed. Cain said “Stupid people are ruining America.” He added; So you must become teachers and educators of the stupid”.

Two; Stay involved. According to Cain, too many people stayed home in 2008 because we did not have the perfect candidate. Cain suggested that no candidate will ever be perfect and that if you can find one you agree with on 7 out of 10 things, “you’ve hit a homerun”.

The third thing he suggested we must do is stay inspired, because “they want you to believe we can’t take back our government”

Excellent speech by Herman Cain. This video of his speech is well worth watching. Thank God we have men like this in our country.

Horrible Ron Paul Supporter At The ( NOT so Conservative ) CPAC Yells To Vice President Cheney 'You're A War Criminal' ~ Screw RINO Infested CPAC!!!!!




The idiot in the audience screamed “War Criminal!”



Dick Cheney strolled on stage to cheers and the inspirational tune of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” and just as he began to present the “Defender Of The Constitution” award to Donald Rumsfeld the chants of “USA! USA!” died down, a voice screaming “War criminal!” could be heard. And then, as Cheney continued to talk up his former colleague, a shouting match began between supporters of Ron Paul and the rest of the convention hall.


The Paul supporters eventually walked out in the middle of Rumsfeld’s speech as way of protest.



Wild Thing's comment......

CPAC has created this.

Sarah declined for the second time not to go to CPAC and I am glad. Sarah was right about her last two years of “scheduling conflicts” is what she said as an excuse to say no to them. It is really infested now with not so conservative people and agenda's. She is proving to be pretty savvy about a lot of things like this.

I have been hearing from several friends at CPAC that they are completely disgusted with it this year. Some great speakers and guests like Cheney and Herman Cain, but it the packs of roving paultards getting in people’s faces are causing folks just to leave.

Ron Paul’s vision of America and the world, in particular his isolationism, anti-semitism and anti- Israel positions are not shared by most Americans and certainly not shared by most Conservatives.

Time to end this trashing and remember who the real enemy is.

Donald Trump Speech at CPAC Conference And Answers To Ron Paul Supporters Ron Paul Cannot Get Elected






"Donald Trump’s speech at CPAC yesterday. Trump gave a rousing speech at the first day of the conference, saying he is considering making a run for President because America is in serious trouble."


Trump said he is considering a run because he just does not see other another candidate he thinks would be “fantastic.” At that point, the Ron Paul supporters began shouting “Ron Paul” at him, and Trump lowered the boom on them.


At the end of his speech, he summarized his stand on a number of issues:


Pro-Life

* Against Gun Control

* Will “fight to end ObamaCare” and replace it with “something that makes sense and not bankrupt the country.”

* Will not raise taxes

* anti-illegals.

“We’ll be taking in hundreds of billions of dollars from other countries that are screwing us.”

“We’ll create vast numbers of jobs.”

“Our country will be great again.”



Donald Trump at CPAC informs Ron Paul supporters who had booed him during his speech:

“By the way, Ron Paul can not get elected, I’m sorry to tell you…I like Ron Paul, I think he’s a good guy. But honestly, he has just zero chance of getting elected.”

The Ron Paulians did not like that and booed loudly.




.



Wild Thing's comment.......

I remember last year's CPAC how they voted at the end of it who they wanted for President and Ron Paul had more votes then anyone. I was so shocked to see this happening. CPAC has changed a lot from what it used to be. So if nothing else I am glad Trump repsonded to the Ron Paul people at CPAC that no way could Ron Paul win. I hope that helps to wake them up and see most of us Conservatives do NOT want Ron Paul. sheesh.


Donald Trump is a little like Sarah Palin. They are both outspoken and have guts to say what a lot of us are thinking. Sarah is outspoken because she is too principled to be politically correct ( thank God for Sarah!!!!) and Trump is rich and can say what he wants. Trump cannot win IMO not with the conservative vote, we know he could turn on a dime and be another RINO, plus his ego is as big as obama's without the verbal threats to we the people. Trump has voiced his opinion very much like a RINO in the past on the very same issues posted above that he gave the total opposite responses to, so you see that is what I mean by he might change his mind again on abortion, guns etc. No recycled RINOS please.

Ronald Reagan during his World War II service.

Ronald Wilson Reagan enrolled in a series of home-study Army Extension Courses on 18 March 1935. After completing 14 of the courses, he enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve on 29 April 1937, as a Private assigned to Troop B, 322nd Cavalry at Des Moines, Iowa. He was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the Cavalry on 25 May 1937. On June 18 of that year Reagan, who had just moved to Los Angeles to begin his film career, accepted his Officer’s Commission and was assigned to the 323rd Cavalry.

Lieutenant Reagan was ordered to active duty on 19 April 1942. Due to eyesight difficulties, he was classified for limited service only, which excluded him from serving overseas. His first assignment was at the San Francisco Port of Embarkation at Fort Mason, California, as liaison officer of the Port and Transportation Office. Upon the request of the Army Air Forces (AAF), he applied for a transfer from the Cavalry to the AAF on 15 May 1942; the transfer was approved on 9 June 1942. He was assigned to AAF Public Relations and subsequently to the 1st Motion Picture Unit in Culver City, California. Reagan was promoted to First Lieutenant on 14 January 1943 and was sent to the Provisional Task Force Show Unit of This Is The Army at Burbank, California. Following this duty, he returned to the 1st Motion Picture Unit, and on 22 July 1943 was promoted to Captain.

In January 1944, Captain Reagan was ordered to temporary duty in New York City to participate in the opening of the sixth War Loan Drive. He was assigned to the 18th AAF Base Unit, Culver City, California on 14 November 1944, where he remained until the end of the war. He was recommended for promotion to Major on 2 February 1945, but this recommendation was disapproved on July 17 of that year. On 8 September 1945, he was ordered to report to Fort MacArthur, California, where he was separated from active duty on 9 December 1945.


While on active duty with the 1st Motion Picture Unit and the 18th Army Air Forces Base Unit, Captain Reagan served as Personnel Officer, Post Adjutant, and Executive Officer. By the end of the war, his units had produced some 400 training films for the Army Air Forces.

Reagan’s Reserve Commission automatically terminated on 1 April 1953.

" We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- Ronald Reagan, 1965


"I don't think you can overstate the importance that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism will have to the rest of the world in the century ahead-especially if, as seems possible, its most fanatical elements get their hands on nuclear and chemical weapons and the means to deliver them against their enemies." --Ronald Reagan



"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Sarah Palin's Keynote Speech At The Anniversary of Reagan’s 100th Birthday




.




On this video Sarah beings her speech at 5:58 . This is the full speech that Sarah gave last night.

Sarah Palin gave the keynote last night at the anniversary of Reagan’s 100th birthday. Here are a few quotes her speech:

"The Left’s version of American exceptionalism “is an exceptionally big government.”


“My fellow Americans, this is not the road to national greatness. It is the road to ruin.”


“And know that we are a force for good in this world, and that is nothing to apologize for.”


“In 76 the GOP listened to him, in 1980, the people listened to him, and in 1984 the WORLD listened to him”


"Stimulus... hasn’t stimulated ANYTHING but The TEA PARTY!!!"


"The message was sent at the ballot box and it was an historic election. We were just told that the era of big government is here to stay and you will pay for it whether you want it or not. But they can't sell it to us. So this new version isn't just the same as the Great Society, it is much worse. It is couched in the language of national greatness. That is their version of American Exceptionalism. It is an exceptionally big government," Sarah Palin said at the Reagan Ranch on Friday night.

President Ronald Reagan: 100 years





Ronald Reagan: 100 years

By Michael Giorgino

Giorgino is a retired Navy Surface Warfare Commander who lives in Coronado and practices law in San Diego.


Feb. 6, 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth. Looking at his newborn son, Jack Reagan remarked, "He looks like a fat little Dutchman. But who knows, he might grow up to be president someday." From his earliest days, Ronald Reagan was a leader. His small town values, eloquence and charm were evident as an athlete, a lifeguard, a college class president, a sportscaster, and even as a Hollywood leading man.

Up until the early 1960s, Reagan had been a Democrat. But he came to see that the Democrat Party tended more and more toward a belief in big government and centralized authority. Reagan became a Republican and campaigned for Barry Goldwater in 1964. He gave a televised speech in which he spoke of limited government, economic freedom and peace through strength. Two years later, that message propelled Reagan into California's governor's mansion and, ultimately, into the White House.

I met Ronald Reagan in 1972 at the Republican Convention in Miami Beach, Fla. I was one of a few dozen Young Republican volunteers. Our grumpy handler was soon-to-be Watergate co-conspirator John Ehrlichman.

Reagan arrived in a summer suit, looking cool and comfortable in the 100-plus degree heat. He spoke briefly, we presented him with a T-shirt, and then he said: "It's not every day I get the opportunity to meet young people from all over the country, I'd love to take some questions."

Reagan began responding to our questions about the Vietnam War and about the anti-war riots raging outside the convention. Two, three, four questions, and hands kept popping up.

Ehrlichman stepped forward, looked impatiently at his watch, and said, "OK, last question."

Reagan snapped his head to the side and said, "John, do you have someplace you need to be?" "Well, er, yes ..." "Then why don't you go there," Reagan replied.

The governor asked us if there was someplace we needed to go (there wasn't). He took off his jacket and invited us to gather around on the ground. For the next hour, Ronald Reagan talked to us one-on-one about his vision of America. He warned us about the dangers of communism and all forms of totalitarianism. He spoke passionately about the virtues of economic liberty and freedom. He made clear his deep and abiding faith in mankind. And he told us we were the future and it was our responsibility to keep the torch of liberty alive.

I had the honor to serve in the U.S. Navy during the eight years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. I watched him inspire a renewed spirit of patriotism and pride in our armed forces. He transformed the long twilight struggle of the Cold War into the triumph of freedom around the world. The greatest honor of my military career was to be able to call that kind and extraordinary human being my commander-in-chief.

And what a thrill it was to join Nancy Reagan on July 23, 2004 at Naval Air Station North Island in welcoming the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) to her new homeport of San Diego. I was really touched when Mrs. Reagan told the thousands of uniformed men and women manning the rails, "I know my husband would want you to represent the best that this nation has to offer -- democracy, liberty and an abiding optimism for the future."

Ronald Reagan wanted peace, prosperity, and, above all, freedom for our country. But the greatest legacy of our "Great Communicator" was his eternal optimism. As dark as things seem at times, he believed that what is right will always eventually triumph. For Ronald Reagan, America remains a shining city on a hill whose greatest chapter is still to be written, for the best is yet to come.

Happy 100th birthday, President Reagan!




Wild Thing's comment.......


Wonderful tribute and memories. Thank you very much, and thank you also for your service Michael Giorgino to our country!

I am so grateful that Reagan was President in my lifetime.

This Sunday will be a celebration of Ronald Reagan.

A great quote by Reagan from 1988:


""Our party speaks for human freedom - for the sweep of liberties that are at the core of our existence. We do not shirk from our duties to preserve freedom so it can unfold across the world for yearning millions.

We believe that lasting peace comes only through strength and not through the goodwill of our adversaries.
We have a healthy skepticism of government - checking its excesses at the same time we're willing to harness its energy when it helps improve the lives of our citizens.
We have pretty strong notions that higher tax receipts are no inherent right of the Federal Government.
We respect the values that bind us together as families and as a nation.
I believe that God put this land between the two great oceans to be found by special people from every corner of the world who had that extra love of freedom that prompted them to leave their homeland and come to this land to make it a brilliant light beam of freedom to the world."

Obama and DHS Snub Rep. Darrell Issa On First Major Document Deadline



Obama snubs Issa on first major document deadline


Daily Caller


The Obama administration snubbed top GOP oversight official Rep. Darrell Issa on his first major document deadline as new chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sending a short letter promising to comply in response to a major information request that was due Saturday at noon.

But Issa is hitting back Tuesday with a demand key documents be sent in two days.

The Obama snub is the first sign of how the administration will respond to demands for documents and testimony by key officials from Republicans in control of the House now that the GOP holds the power of congressional subpoena.

A Jan. 28 letter from the Department of Homeland Security promised to cooperate with Issa’s document request sent Jan. 14 – but Issa’s deadline for the documents expired the next day.

“I asked DHS to produce this information by Jan. 29 – two weeks from the date of my second letter,” Issa says in his Feb. 1 reply to the deadline snub, “The department gave no indication that it would not be able to comply with the deadline.”

Further, Issa charges that top DHS officials actually instructed career employees not to search for the documents he is requesting.

“I was disappointed to learn that on or about Jan. 20, 2011, DHS’s Office of General Counsel instructed career staff in the Privacy Office not to search for documents responsive to my request,” Issa says in the Feb. 1 letter.


Issa is requesting documents from DHS about political interference with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the agency.


In July, the Associated Press reported top DHS officials told career employees to steer sensitive FOIA requests to Obama’s political advisers for unusual scrutiny.

FOIA requests by lawmakers, watchdog groups and journalists were subjected to the special political reviews.

In the letter to Napolitano, Issa requested that DHS turn over by noon on Thursday copies of any e-mails received from or sent to White House officials, including correspondence with Norman Eisen, the former special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform, and Cabinet Secretary Christopher Lu.


Issa also said he “was disappointed to learn” that less than two weeks ago DHS’s Office of General Counsel instructed “career staff” in the privacy office not to search for documents related to his request. Instead, the staff was told that associate general counsel Joe Maher would be handling the department’s response, according to Issa.

“This directive is inconsistent with your pledge to identify and produce documents expeditiously, and it raises question about the department’s commitment to the president’s effort to create ‘an unprecedented level of openness in Government’,” Issa said in the letter.

In his response to the deadline snub, Issa demands a set of key documents in two days, including e-mails between key DHS officials and the Obama White House.

Issa says the e-mails should be easy to find because all White House staff use similar e-mail addresses.
“As you know, e-mail to and from the White House is identifiable by the handle ‘@who.eop.gov’,” Issa says.


Further, Issa requests transcribed interviews with six top DHS officials about the issue, including Noah Kroloff, chief of staff to DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano. The interviews are set to begin the week of Feb. 7.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Dictators don’t answer to the little people.

More from the “Most Transparent Administration in History”.

Not only Obama snubs Issa in his investigation, but, the Department of Homeland Security snubs Issa. Now we have both Obama and the BIG SIS Janet's Department of Homeland Security's failure to comply to a Congressional subpoena.


No one ever explained to Obama that it doesn't pay to unnecessarily create enemies. His actions have merely served to harden Issa's resolve and to prove to others in Congress that he (Issa) is justified in his efforts to bring down Obama.

Amb. John Bolton Discusses Middle East Turmoil



.




Interview below from Fox News "Happening Now with Jon Scott and Jenna Lee" on January 28.


FOX News

FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR JOHN BOLTON: I think what's clearly happened today [in Egypt] is that the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical Islamist party in Egypt has called it's supporters into the street. I don't think it was present on the first two or three days.

I think after the Friday prayers the Brotherhood brought its people out. That's why the protests are even more extensive today. That constitutes no doubt about it a direct threat to the military government, and I think the failure of the other security forces to bring the demonstrations under control also now explains the presence of the military.

Let me be clear here, this is not just the Mubarak-family government. The military has ruled Egypt since Gamal Nasser and they over through King Farook.

It's the military that is the real government and they are not going to go peacefully.

I think the question is whether and to what extent the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islamists have infiltrated the leadership. If the military holds firm it's entirely possible, although bloody, that the government can hold onto power. That doesn't necessarily mean Mubarak will be in power, but the military will be, and I think that is why this contrast makes it so important for people to understand, this is not a choice between the Mubarak government on one hand, and sweetness and light, Jeffersonian democracy on the other.

I don't think we have evidence yet that these demonstrations are necessarily about democracy. You know the old saying, "one person, one vote, one time." The Muslim Brotherhood doesn't care about democracy, if they get into power you're not going to have free and fair elections either.

And I think there is substantial reason, for example, to worry the minority Coptic Christian population, about 10% of the population will be very worried if the Muslim Brotherhood came to power.

Let's be clear what the stakes are for the United States. We have an authoritarian regime in power that has been our ally. We don't know at this point what the real alternatives are.


JON SCOTT, ANCHOR: If you are Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, or if you are President Obama at this moment, what do you do, what do you say? There have been a couple of cautious statements put out by the U.S. State department so far.

BOLTON: Those statements have been mush. I mean this is a case where we are far better advised to remain silent, try to understand better what's going on, what the stakes are, rather than making statements that other people are parsing to say, "oh, they are supporting the demonstrators," "oh, they are supporting the government." I think there is confusion inside the administration.

In all fairness, I think everybody, including leaders of the opposition, was caught off guard by the strength of the protests, but I do think it's important to underline that today is different from the previous days with the Muslim Brotherhood bringing its supporters into the streets, and that's why the stakes are even higher today and in the next few days than they have been.

I do think that the regime is under enormous pressure, there is no doubt about it, but I don't think that just because you have people climbing onto tanks you can assume that they are friendly to democratic values.

I think there is a lot of opposition to the regime and a lot of opposition by the Muslim Brotherhood that is determined to bring down this secular military government, and install one of very harsh Sharia law, which would have enormous implications for the United States, for Israel, for other Arab governments in the region.

You just mentioned the Suez Canal, how would you like the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of that waterway? I think that's the reason why the Obama administration should be working behind the scenes and try to understand better what the ground truth is in Cairo and the other major cities.

Unrest in Egypt and What It Means .....John Bolton on Greta's show

Wild Thing's comment.......

Bolton is spot on, imo ........ "I don't think that just because you have people climbing onto tanks you can assume that they are friendly to democratic values."

"The Muslim Brotherhood doesn't care about democracy, if they get into power you're not going to have free and fair elections either."

Bad to worse. I find it highly suspicious this kind of movement is occurring in nations like Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon. Guess who they surround.....Israel. I have to wonder if Iran has a hand in any of this. If the Muslim Brotherhood gets control, they will open the gate for the Palestinians to flood into Israel.


To have another large and militarily powerful Middle Eastern country taken over by a radical Muslim theocracy would be disastrous for the west and especially Israel

Sen. Marco Rubio To Serve On Four Committee's Including Select Committee on Intelligence





Sen. Marco Rubio gets plum committee assignment

St. Pete Times


WASHINGTON

New Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will serve on four committees, including a spot on intelligence.

Rubio received his assignments Thursday and will be on the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation; the Committee on Foreign Relations; the Select Committee on Intelligence; and the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

The Republican success in November had a downside for Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.

To make more room for Republicans, Nelson had to give up a seat on the Armed Service Committee. He had been able to use the perch to secure some top projects for Florida, including a nuclear aircraft carrier at Naval Station Mayport near Jacksonville.

Nelson will remain on three major committees — commerce, finance, intelligence — and hold onto budget and aging.

He secured a promise from Democratic Leader Harry Reid that he would be restored to Armed Services if Democrats retake some seats lost in 2010 (and Nelson is re-elected in 2012).

Rubio had expressed interest in foreign relations and the intelligence post is a plum for a newcomer, overseeing all federal agencies that gather information on national security.

Congratulations Marco, I am proud of you. Please never let us down and stay on course. America needs you and others like you.

Rep. Mike Pence Closes Door On White House Run




Rep. Mike Pence closes door on White House run


GOP Rep. Mike Pence Confirms He Will NOT Run for President in 2012

Indy Star

U.S. Rep. Mike Pence shut the door today on a run for the presidency, but left wide open the likelihood that he’ll seek a different office: Governor of Indiana.

“In the choice between seeking national office and serving Indiana in some capacity, we choose Indiana,” Pence, R-Columbus, said of himself and wife Karen in a letter being sent to supporters. “We will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012.”

He said he would make a decision “later this year” about what his next political step is, but by not running for president it is considered a virtual certainty that he will run for the GOP nomination for governor.


While he could, instead, run for a seventh term in Congress, that’s not considered likely given that Pence gave up the job that would have made him the fourth-highest ranking Republican in the House after the November elections, in order to focus on other political opportunities.


And he telegraphed his interest in the governorship by focusing on Indiana in his letter, saying his “calling is closer to home.”


He will now “be traveling across the state to listen and learn about how Hoosiers think we might best contribute in the years ahead.”


That begins Friday. Pence, who flew today to Indiana from Washington, is holding a town hall meeting in Pendleton at 10 a.m. and speaking to Muncie Central High School students at 1:20 p.m.


Pence, 51, is widely considered to be a cinch to win the GOP nomination to succeed Gov. Mitch Daniels, who is barred by law from seeking a third consecutive term and who has left the door open for a run for the presidency himself. Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman recently said she would not run for governor due to health concerns, and so far no other Republican star has stepped forward to enter the race.


In his letter, Pence said that throughout his life, “I have learned to follow my heart, and my heart is in Indiana.”

He praised the state’s people, its “highways and byways, the small towns and courthouse squares, the big cities and cornfields.”


“After years of falling behind, Indiana is on the verge of an era of growth and opportunity like no other time in my life,” he wrote. “Those of us who serve Indiana in Congress and in the Statehouse have a unique opportunity to advance the interests of Hoosiers... Indiana can lead the nation back to fiscal responsibility, reform and strong families. As we achieve an even better Indiana for our children and grandchildren, we will continue to be a model for a better and stronger America.”

Pence was being courted by both fiscal and social conservatives to enter the race for the White House against Democrat President Barack Obama.




Wild Thing's comment.......

I have liked Mike Pence for a long time. This is very disappointing,but I can understand what he is saying.

Whatever he does he will be awesome and maybe if he runs for GOV and wins then maybe he will run for president..... I hope so.

Rep. Paul Broun (R. Ga.) on Twitter Spoke The TRUTH About Obama During Obama's SOTU Address




CLICK HERE for Excellent VIDEO of GOP Rep. Says Obama "Believes in Socialism"


Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), also a physician, spoke with CBS News' Jill Jackson about why he tweeted after President Obama's State of the Union that he "believes in Socialism". Broun notes that the President's first two years in office have been an "abject failure".

As President Obama was delivering his State of the Union Address last night Rep. Paul Broun M.D. was delivering his response via Twitter.


The Hill


GOP Rep. Paul Broun (Ga.) rebuked President Obama using perhaps the sharpest language among his Republican colleagues following the State of the Union address Tuesday night.

Broun took to Twitter during the address, accusing the president of believing in socialism. Obama touched on several economic themes during his address, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to be competitive in the global marketplace.

“Mr. President, you don’t believe in the Constitution. You believe in socialism,” the tweet reads…


…The atmosphere on the House floor during the address was a bit more subdued than in recent years and dozens of members from both parties sat together rather than in the traditional partisan seating arrangement.

Like other members, Broun live-tweeted the address, posting 40 times during the speech that lasted over an hour.

“Freezing spending at record high levels is not making tough decisions,” he also tweeted.



Wild Thing's comment........


Truth is always good. Thank you, Dr. Broun.

Bravo! Speaking the truth isn’t uncivil or vitriolic. He is telling it like it is. So are they going to go after him now—he is this years “You Lie Joe Wilson”

Obama showed no energy, no emotion, no real direction, no specific agenda, just the usual left-wing failed political mantra and dogma one would expect from the failed one. Obama is going to take more Democrats down with him in 2012 .

Rep. Mike Pence Delivering Powerful Remarks At The "March for Life"






GOP Rep. Mike Pence delivering powerful remarks at the "March for Life", January 23, speaking out against the abhorrent Roe vs. Wade decision which legalized the taking of innocent human life through abortion.


“And we know this: We will win this fight. Because the deepest desire of every mother and father is to protect their child at any cost – even the cost of their lives. And the American People will make this right. We will restore the sanctity of life to the center of American Law, because every American knows in their heart this is the greatest nation on earth because we acknowledge the God-given rights to liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the unalienable right to life.”

“And as to focusing on spending, I agree,” Pence told the crowd on Monday. “Let’s start by denying all federal funding for abortion at home and abroad.”


Pence has been advocating ending funding for abortion, and particularly for Planned Parenthood, since 2007.




Pro-life protesters walk during their annual March for Life in Washington yesterday .On the 38th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision, thousands marched to the U.S. Supreme Court to voice their opposition to abortion. (REUTERS/Jason Reed)


More than 27,000 people secured tickets to the event/rally and there were thousands more that atteneded without tickets to hear the speakers.

Rep. Michele Bachmann will be speaking at the dinner.


.

At the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency, Rev. Rick Warren asked both candidates the question: At what point does a baby gets “human rights.” McCain’s answer was direct “At the moment of conception.”

Obama’s answer was the non-answer heard round the political world. His voting record is solidly Pro-Abortion .

Rev. Rick Warren: That was a freebie. That was a gimme. That was a gimme, OK? Now, let’s deal with abortion; 40 million abortions since Roe v. Wade. As a pastor, I have to deal with this all of the time, all of the pain and all of the conflicts. I know this is a very complex issue. Forty million abortions, at what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?

OBAMA: Well, you know, I think that whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.



House Republicans Introduce Bills That Would Outlaw Subsidized Abortions


Less than 24 hours after the House of Representatives voted to repeal Obamacare, GOP lawmakers began drafting their own healthcare proposals, including legislation that would limit funding for abortion.

On Jan. 20, the House approved a measure that directs four committees — Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Education and Workforce and Judiciary — to work on healthcare laws that reflect the GOP's agenda. It didn't take long for Republicans to introduce two bills that would eliminate taxpayer-funded abortions, the Protect Life Act and No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO CALLS FOR SENATE VOTE ON REPEALING OBAMACARE

Applauds House Vote To Repeal

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio today issued the following statement applauding the House vote to repeal ObamaCare and calling on Senate Democrat leadership to hold a similar up-or-down vote:


“In voting to repeal ObamaCare, our colleagues in the House have taken an important step. We need to repeal the federal health care law and replace it with common sense reforms that will lower health care costs and get more Americans insured. ObamaCare creates uncertainty for job creators, threatens Medicare as Floridians know it and lays the foundation for government-run health care. Instead, we need to replace it with reforms that promote competition, empower patients with more high-quality health-care options, combat fraud and integrate the latest technologies to make the system more efficient and the patient better informed. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to repeal and replace ObamaCare, and hope the Democrat leadership will heed the American people’s call by allowing an up-or-down vote.”

How to Freeze the Debt Ceiling Without Risking Default




How to Freeze the Debt Ceiling Without Risking Default

The Wall Street Journal

By PAT TOOMEY ( a Republican, is a U.S. senator from Pennsylvania)

As members of Congress debate whether to raise the U.S. debt ceiling—the limit on our government's debt—we should all agree on at least one thing: Under no circumstances is it acceptable for the U.S. to default on its debt. Not only are we morally obligated to honor our debts, but we benefit greatly from the nearly universal conviction that those who lend to us will always be repaid, on time and in full. We should never undermine that conviction.


Fortunately, even if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, a default on our debt need not follow when our borrowings reach their limit in the next few months. I intend to introduce legislation to make sure of this.


For months, some political leaders and commentators have argued that failure to raise the debt ceiling would necessarily cause the U.S. to default on its debt. President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors chairman, Austan Goolsbee, recently warned, "If we get to the point where you've damaged the full faith and credit of the United States, that would be the first default in history caused purely by insanity. I don't see why anybody's talking about playing chicken with the debt ceiling."


In fact, if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will still have far more than enough money to fully service our debt. Next year, for instance, about 6.5% of all projected federal government expenditures will go to interest on our debt, and tax revenue is projected to cover about 67% of all government expenditures. With roughly 10 times more income than needed to honor our debt obligations, why would we ever default?


To make absolutely sure, I intend to introduce legislation that would require the Treasury to make interest payments on our debt its first priority in the event that the debt ceiling is not raised. This would not only ensure the continued confidence of investors at home and abroad, but would enable us to have an honest debate about the consequences of our eventual decision about the debt ceiling.


If we do not raise it, the government's tax revenue will enable us to fund roughly two-thirds of projected expenditures, including interest payments. Without the ability to borrow the other third, spending cuts would be sudden and severe: Projects would be postponed, some vendor payments would be delayed, certain programs would be suspended, and many government employees might be furloughed. Default would easily be avoided, but these cuts would certainly be disruptive. That's why I hope we can avoid this scenario.


But it would be even worse simply to raise the debt ceiling without regaining control of federal spending. The recent surge in spending, both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of our GDP, has driven us to record deficits and an explosion of debt. The growth in discretionary spending has been the most dramatic, but in the future mandatory entitlement spending will be the deficit driver. Congress must address both in order to put the government back on a sustainable fiscal path.


The vote on whether to raise the debt ceiling—and, if so, by how much—is our best opportunity to insist that any increase in our nation's debt be coupled with concrete steps toward fiscal sanity. Congress should make increasing our debt contingent on immediate cuts in spending and effective reforms of the spending process that helped get us into this mess.


For too many years, Congress has ignored or exacerbated the looming fiscal crisis created by overspending. Last fall's elections were largely a call to finally deal with this imminent threat, and the vote on the debt ceiling is Congress's opportunity to begin making real progress. We can do so without jeopardizing the full faith and credit of our country—and we should.




This article was sent to me in an e-mail sent out by Sen. Jim DeMint .


Dear Fellow Conservative:

I’m writing to share an important Wall Street Journal op-ed written by newly-elected Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA), which outlines how we can freeze the debt ceiling without defaulting on our debt obligations. Senator Toomey’s argument is nothing short of a game changer in the debt limit debate.
Senator Toomey correctly points out that if the debt limit is reached later this year, the government will still have plenty of money to service the national debt. He writes,
“In fact, if Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will still have far more than enough money to fully service our debt. Next year, for instance, about 6.5% of all projected federal government expenditures will go to interest on our debt, and tax revenue is projected to cover about 67% of all government expenditures. With roughly 10 times more income than needed to honor our debt obligations, why would we ever default?”

Click Here to Read Toomey’s Op-Ed

Americans should reject the sky-is-falling-hysteria coming from President Obama and demand that Congress stop the debt and balance the budget. You can add your voice to this effort by signing the “Stop the Debt” pledge at http://StopTheDebtPledge.com.

Now is the time to make fundamental, long-term budget reforms that will stop the spending and save our country from fiscal ruin.

When the Senate considers the debt limit next month, Republicans must do everything they can to block an increase in the debt limit. Senator Toomey has presented the facts they need to fight back when they’re accused of threatening to put the nation in default.

I want to thank each of you who helped elect Senator Toomey last year by supporting the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF). Without your support, he wouldn’t be in a place to influence this critical debate.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

P.S. Senator Toomey’s leadership on this issue is an important reminder of why we must continue to elect true conservatives to the Senate.



.

Wild Thing's comment.....

What Toomey is proposing is that out of the tax receipts, the first budgeted payments will go to the $200B debt service, and then, after that, programs and other spending will have to be cut. The way it is now, the spending side is holding the debt holder in front of them to protect them from the firing squad.

It will be the Day of Reckoning and we need to do it so that we can put a balance back in to the system.

Speaker Of The House John Boehner Says No Thanks To Invite From Obama ~ Good For John Boehner!





Politico


This week, House Speaker John Boehner raised eyebrows by turning down an offer to ride on Air Force One with President Obama and others headed to a memorial service in Tucson. Instead, he appeared at a reception for Republican operative Maria Cino. Now, on the heels of renewed calls for bipartisanship and toned-down political rhetoric, Boehner is saying “thanks, but no thanks” to another offer to appear at an event with the president – Wednesday’s White House state dinner.

The dinner, honoring the Chinese President Hu Jintao, will pull together leaders on both sides of the aisle, along with celebs, CEOs, Cabinet members, Supreme Court justices and media bigwigs.

A Boehner aide confirmed that the House speaker was invited to the dinner but will not be attending. Boehner also turned down invitations to the previous two state dinners held during Obama’s presidency, one honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in November 2009, and the most recent state dinner honoring Mexican President Felipe Calderon in May 2010, the aide said.

Though Boehner was invited, other prominent Republican leaders were not. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has not yet received an invitation, an aide told POLITICO. Though the guest list is still being finalized, Cantor’s empty mailbox could certainly be seen as a slight, considering the most recent former House majority leader, Democrat Steny Hoyer, attended the most recent state dinner.


On the other side of the aisle: Rep. James Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, was invited and plans to attend. Aides are still confirming whether other Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Hoyer, will be in attendance.

This week, House Speaker John Boehner raised eyebrows

HA! Whose eyebrows were those?

Thank you John Boehner!!!!

You know how the dems work...now that conservatives are in charge of the house all of a sudden the dems want to be bipartisan, reach across the aisle and yada, yada. Same old song and dance routine.

Mark Levin's $100,000 Challenge to Chris Matthews



Mark Levin's $100,000 Challenge to Chris Matthews


The American Spectator


Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin has put out a stunning challenge to those left-wing media personalities accusing conservative talk radio stars and Sarah Palin of encouraging murder.

First, he offered $100,000 to Chris Matthews to find any example where Sarah Palin or Levin himself had "promoted the murder of anybody."


The direct challenge to Matthews took place shortly after Levin had played clips of Matthews suggesting Levin's passionate radio shows were "angry" and apparently implying that Levin's shows and those of talker Michael Savage had some responsibility for the Tucson murders.

The allegation came on the heels of a specific allegation by left-wing Pima County Sheriff insisting Rush Limbaugh was at fault, while MSNBC's Keith Olbermann demanded Palin "repudiate her own part in amplifying violence and violent imagery in politics."


Said Levin, who is also a considerable lawyer in his role as head of the landmark Legal Foundation:


"I challenge Chris Matthews, I'll put $100,000 on the table, to find any example where Sarah Palin has promoted the murder of anybody," said Levin -- specifically excluding terrorists and the Taliban.

Levin went on: "A hundred thousand on the table if Chris Matthews can find anywhere Mark Levin has urged the murder of people who have different political viewpoints. That's the murder of politicians …where I said go out there and kill X,Y,Z…go out there and kill A,B,C. I challenge him right now. Sarah Palin. Me. Go ahead."


Levin, of course, is also a former Justice Department official, which gave his second challenge a crisp note: He's waiting for a very specific allegation "because I'm going to sue." In federal court.

Levin's challenge to Matthews and other left-wing media types comes on the heels of increasingly desperate attempts by the left-wing media to pin the Tucson violence by the mentally disturbed Jared Loughner on conservative talk radio stars. A friend of Loughner's has gone on television to specifically say Loughner didn't listen to "political radio" or watch television news.


"Somebody has to stand up," said an indignant Levin on his show.


HERE is the AUDIO from his show....just CLICK HERE

Rep. Mike Pence to Reintroduce Broadcaster Freedom Act





Former House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) said today that he would soon reintroduce the Broadcaster Freedom Act, and that Congress should reject the idea of regulating political speech in the wake of the Arizona shooting over the weekend. Pence, who spoke on C-SPAN this morning, said his bill would prevent the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from regulating content on the airwaves.

In the last Congress, Pence introduced the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2009, which would have prevented the FCC from requiring broadcasters to present opposing points of view, a concept known as the Fairness Doctrine.

Pence said he does not want free political discourse to be “another casualty” of the Arizona shootings.




Wild Thing's comment.......

Good for Pence!!!! I am glad he is doing this.


I hope it takes, because Obama's FCC has already defined Congress and the Judicial branch by laying out regulations for the internet.

Elected Republicans LISTEN To A True Hero and Non RHINO Rep. Allen West



Rep. Allen West: "I Ain't Toning Down My Fiery Rhetoric. And Yes, I Do Pack Heat"

One thing is for sure: Rep. Allen West brings a certain flavor to the U.S. Congress. From the Palm Beach Post (Florida), about the conservative Republican and former lieutenant colonel (who has a concealed weapons permit):

"Within hours of the shooting that killed six and critically injured Giffords, some commentators placed the massacre in the context of the nation’s heated political climate and blamed the tea party movement, Sarah Palin and other conservatives although no public evidence has suggested accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner was associated with or sympathetic to any of them. Some critics pointed to West’s own words — such as saying citizens must be 'well-informed and well-armed because this government that we have now is a tyrannical government' — as contributing to that climate."


More:


"West has rejected such criticism and accused those making it of trying to score political points. 'One of the concerns I do have is the political opportunism that has come out of this. That’s kind of deplorable and unconscionable what some people are doing. This is not the time to start looking for grandstanding and things of that nature,' West said on his way into a West Boca Chamber of Commerce breakfast at Boca Lago Country Club. Asked if he had any regrets about his choice of words in the past, West said, 'No I don’t, because I think when you look at the president saying don’t bring a knife to a gun fight and the fact that the president talked about if the Republicans were to win in the midterms we’re going to have hand-to-hand combat.' He also said a blogger in Broward County had once said West should be skinned alive, so “I think there are some things that both sides need to be concerned about.”

More:


"West, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, has said his references to 'bayonets' and military imagery are metaphorical — and he has no plans to stop using them. 'Now that I’ve been sworn into Congress I’m still the type of person that, if there are means by which I can inspire people, I will use historical references and metaphors, which is what I have done. But my background is, I am a tough guy and in tough times we have to use a little bit of stronger language when you start talking about the future legacy of my country,' West said."


On Being A Pistol-Packing Congressman


From Sunshine News (Florida), about the conservative Republican:


"At a West Boca Chamber of Commerce breakfast Tuesday, Congressman Allen West, an Army veteran, was asked if he was packing heat. After all, the Senate's sergeant at arms has warned all members of Congress to stay watchful and take threats seriously. According to a CBS12 story, at first West replied, 'No, I can't tell you that.' Later he said, 'No, I'm not' carrying a weapon. West said he decides whether to pack a pistol by the crowd he's around -- and the chamber folks are friendly types."


The Sun Sentinel (Florida) adds:


"West reminded reporters on Tuesday, he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, 'and when it’s appropriate, I’ll take the necessary precautions.' 'It depends on the place you’re going to be and the environment I’m going to be in but I do have that as an option for my own personal protection. The most important thing is you coordinate with local law enforcement to make sure the people are protected,' he said."

GOP Picks Priebus to Head Party



The new national Republican Party chairman says his party has to "get on track'' to "defeat Barack Obama in 2012.'' In a brief victory speech today, Reince Priebus asked for unity within the fractured 168-member Republican National Committee



Washington Post


Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele bowed out of his longshot bid for a second term, bringing an end to a two-year tenure more defined by gaffes than the electoral victories his party racked up.

“I will step aside because I think the party is ready for something different,” said Steele before the fifth ballot for chairman began. He immediately threw his support to former RNC official Maria Cino’s candidacy.


Even in defeat, however Steele was unapologetic about his time in office. “I hope you all appreciate the legacy we leave,” he told the 168 members of the RNC. “Despite the noise, despite the difficulties, we won.”


Steele finished second on the first ballot, a single vote behind Wisconsin Republican party chairman Reince Priebus. But he progressively lost support as the balloting went on as the 168 committee members made clear that they have decided to move past his stormy time in office.



Wild Thing's comment........

I honestly don't know much about this man.

Let's hope and pray that the GOP has chosen someone that is NOT a RINO and someone that will do a good job.

R. Lee Ermey Apologizes For Obama 'socialism' Comment





R. Lee Ermey apologizes for Obama 'socialism' comment


Examiner


The Blaze reports Tuesday that retired Marine drill instructor R. Lee Ermey issued an apology for remarks he made last week regarding President Obama destroying America and implementing socialism.

Speaking to a crowd about the Toys for Tots program, Ermey said it was struggling because "the economy really sucks."

After blaming the Obama administration he said, "they're not gonna quit doing it until they bring this country to its knees..."

In a message on his website, Ermey writes:


“I recently appeared at a fundraising event designed to collect toys and raise awareness for underprivileged children. While that event succeeded in raising thousands of dollars and hundreds of toys for this cause, I regret that I delivered a monologue that was inappropriately critical of the President. I was trying to be entertaining and simply went too far in this instance. I am mindful that my success as an entertainer relates in part to my experience in the Marine Corps, my devotion to its members, and the deep respect I have for members of all our Armed Forces. My comments should not be seen as reflecting on them or their views. I was just very disappointed in the amount of success that we were having raising toys and money for the underprivileged children this season. The poor economy has greatly hampered our efforts. My comments were misguided, and emotionally based, and for that I am truly sorry.”

Semper Fi




According to a post at Mediaite, GEICO - the insurance company Ermey represents in one if its' commercials - recently fired voice actor Lance Baxter for making political comments on his own time, and wondered if Ermey would suffer the same fate.

John Moore, the man who originally uploaded the video, believes that following Ermey's apology, GEICO should not only keep Ermey, but also rehire Baxter.

Jonathon M. Seidl writes:

But some may just wonder if this is Ermey crossing into “mamby pamby land”.

Let's hope not.



Wild Thing's comment........

He spoke the truth, I wish he didn't apologize. I do wonder if GEICO had contacted him and others where it might have put pressure on him.

Someone posted at Facebook that Keith Olbermann called on his viewers to boycott Geico over Gunny.

It may have been the “wrong venue”, but kind of like taking the wrong hill, at least that’s ground that we won’t have to take again. The viral video did it’s job. It exposed a socialist and opened some additional discussion about how dire our circumstances are.

Rep. Mike Pence Introduces Anti-abortion Bill





Pence introduces anti-abortion bill ahead of conservative gathering


CNN

Rep. Mike Pence, the Indiana congressman who is considering a presidential bid, introduced an anti-abortion bill Friday that is certain to be greeted fondly by many Republicans ahead of his attendance at a conservative gathering in South Carolina this weekend.

The measure, which has 122 cosponsors and is called the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act, seeks to ban federal funding to organizations that perform abortions.

A version of the measure was first introduced two years ago.

“It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life by abortion,” Pence said in a statement. “It is also morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to promote abortion at home or abroad.”


Pence added the bill “will ensure that abortion providers are not being subsidized with federal tax dollars.”




.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Good for Mike Pence!!!! Thank you sir!


NO taxpayer money should EVER be used to fund the Sanger/Hitler Abortion policies.

Mike Pence is also the person that led the way on trying to get Obama and the left to drill for oil domestically.

IMO abortion should never be paid for with our tax dollars. That is also one of the things I so hate about Obamacare and his strong agenda toward abortion.

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan: Nation Must See Stark Choice Between "Ruin" and "Exceptionalism" by 2012



GOP Rep. Paul Ryan in an interview with Paul Gigot at the National Press Club that Republicans must find a way to set before the nation by 2012 the stark choice between the path we are on – “Debt Ruin” – and the better way of “American Exceptionalism.”



Wild Thing's comment........

Ryan is correct and there is such a huge difference. The left has real trouble with the idea that we are a uniquely blessed as a country. I think more now then in the last two years are waking up and realizing this and will fight to preserve those things . The Left consists of those who want government dependency more than freedom and those wanting to provide government co-dependency who love power more than a free society.

Rep. Steve King: Congress Will Investigate Reparations Pigford, Acorn




Conservative Rep. Steve King of Iowa told local radio station KCIM that the Pigford settlement, which was part of the legislation, “is full of fraud” and “amounts to paying reparations to black farmers in America. We don’t do reparations in America.”

King also spoke about corruption of the current regime in Washington and the activity planned by Congress in 2011.

On Obamacare- Rep King says it’s got to be pulled out by the roots.

“First, I already introduced an amendment to repeal it. We’re going to elect a large freshman class. You’ll find that a lot of democrat representatives will lose their seat because of it. The first bill coming out of the new Congress will be HR 1 to repeal Obamacare. We will send this to the president’s desk where he will veto it. Then we will put language in each and every bill to halt payment for Obamacare. Then in 2012 we can elect a new president who will repeal Obamacare. We must elect a president in 2012 who will repeal Obamacare.”


Will there be any investigation into the dishonest accounting practices used by democrats that helped them ram their bill through Congress?

There will be several investigations. With Obamacare, they did some things to jigger the numbers. They put it off until 2014 to help pay for it. There’s also a $500 billion cut to Medicare. Every one today admits that it’s a Trillion dollar bill. The cost to our freedom in America will be far greater than the cost in money.


Question: Can you talk about any of the investigations?

“ACORN will be investigated. This group admitted to producing over 400,000 false voter registrations… If we lose democratic elections in America we lose our country. We need to go ahead and investigate ACORN. We need to defund them but we should go ahead and investigate them.”


Any other investigations?

“I would also like to investigate the Pigford Farms legislation. I believe almost all of the legitimate claims have been compensated. More than 92,000 blacks have signed up for reparations from the Obama USDA after the Pigford case was extended this past year. That’s five times the number of blacks who were actually farming during the time period in question and would possibly qualify for the reparations.”




Wild Thing's comment........


Rep. King has the "Cojones" that the Country is in dire need of....he has held steadfast all along....BRAVO !
Can't wait until the new members of Congress, like Lt. Col. Allen West , Marco Rubio and others take their oath and get down to business.


When people are receiving payments for farming they did not do, if they are compensated for loans they did not seek, if they are compensated for loans they were never qualified for in the first place, then its fraud.

One can tell he has given much thought to all of these various things that need to be fixed, investigated or stopped.

R. Lee Ermey, Appearing On Behalf Of Toys 4 Tots & USO Speaks Out On Obama





GEICO's R. Lee Ermey, appearing on behalf of Toys 4 Tots & USO speaks out on Obama




During a December 10, 2010 appearance on Roe & Roeper's Miracle on Indianapolis Blvd. Holiday Extravaganza broadcast, live from The Venue inside the Horseshoe Casino, which benefitted the USO, GEICO's R. Lee Ermey appearing on behalf of Toys 4 Tots took an opportunity to unload on Obama, claiming his administration was destroying the country so that it could impose socialism.


R. Lee Ermey – of Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call, and Geico commerical fame – who speak in behalf of the Toys for Tots program, and then also blasts the Obama Administration for having a lot to do with the fact that the present U.S. Economy “sucks.” Ermey was just getting warmed up.


He went on to say:


“Not to point fingers at anybody, but the present administration probably has a lot to do with that. And the way I see it, they’re not going to quit doing it until they bring this country to its knees. So I think we should all rise up and we should stop this Administration from what they are doing, because they are destroying this country. They’re driving us into bankruptcy so they can impose socialism on us. That’s exactly what they’re doing, and I’m sick and damn tired of it and I know you are too. But I know the Marine Corps is going to be here forever – this Administration won’t. Semper Fi. God Bless you all.”


.






.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I love his GEICO's so much. Thank God for Ermey speaking up like he has for our country.


Some information on Ermey, a real favorite of mine. I love the things he does.

R. Lee Ermey was in the US Marine Corps for 11 years. He rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant, and later was bestowed the honorary rank of Gunnery Sergeant by the Marine Corps, after he served 14 months in Vietnam and later did 2 tours in Okinawa, Japan. After injuries forced him to retire from the Corps.
Regarding his role in Full Metal Jacket. He was not intended to be in Full Metal Jacket (1987). He was hired as a technical advisor for the actor who was to play the drill instructor, but he did such a good job at it that Ermey himself was hired for the part.
He was involved in a jeep accident during the making of Full Metal Jacket (1987). At 1:00 a.m. one morning, he skidded off the road, breaking all the ribs on his left side. He refused to pass out and kept flashing his car lights until a motorist stopped. In some scenes in the movie, he does not move his left arm at all.

'We the people' To Open Next Congress




'We the people' to open next Congress


When Speaker Pelosi hands over her gavel to GOP leader John Boehner the 112th Congress of the United States will open with a reading of the US Constitution, a document often ignored by the far left extremists of the current Obama-Pelosi regime.

112th Congress = Republican Party – 242 members Democrat Party 193 members

Washington Times

The Constitution frequently gets lip service in Congress, but House Republicans next year will make sure it gets a lot more than that – the new rules the incoming majority party proposed this week call for a full reading of the country’s founding document on the floor of the House on Jan. 6.


The goal, backers said, is to underscore the limited-government rules the Founders imposed on Congress – and to try to bring some of those principles back into everyday legislating.

“It stems from the debate that we’ve had for the last two years about things like the exercise of authority in a whole host of different areas by the EPA, we’ve had this debate in relation to the health care bill, the cap-and-trade legislation,” said Rep. Robert W. Goodlatte, Virginia Republican, who proposed the reading. “This Congress has been very aggressive in expanding the power of the federal government, and there’s been a big backlash to that.”

Setting aside time at the beginning of the congressional session for the reading is just one of the changes to House rules that Republicans say are designed to open up the legislative process. They say the new rules also will try to bring some restraints to lawmaking after decades in which both Republican and Democratic leaders whittled away opportunities for real legislative give-and-take.

The biggest changes would make it easier to cut spending and harder to create entitlement programs, while imposing restrictions that could keep leaders from jamming massive bills onto the House floor before lawmakers have had a chance to digest them.

"To begin to restore trust with the American people, Republicans have pledged to operate Congress differently: with real transparency, greater accountability and a renewed focus on the Constitution," said Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, who led the GOP's transition team. "The sweeping reforms offered in this package make clear we intend to keep that promise."


For example, the word "unconstitutional" was used 408 times in congressional debates during the 111th Congress, according to a search of the Congressional Record. That was up from 283 in the 110th Congress and is the most since the immediate aftermath of the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress.

Even before that, the presidential campaign of Rep. Ron Paul, Texas Republican, seemed to tap a nerve with voters looking for more discussion about the founding document, the core of the blossoming "tea party" movements.

"If it was up to me, they could spend the whole congressional session reading the Constitution and nothing else, and they wouldn't do as much damage as the last Congress did," said Chip Tarbutton, president of the Roanoke Tea Party in Roanoke, Va., which is in Mr. Goodlatte's district.


He said the key test for lawmakers such as Mr. Goodlatte is whether they treat the constitutional reading as "window dressing" or whether it sparks the kinds of discussions that could lead to a major re-evaluation of the role of the federal government.


"If they follow through on it, it'll create some very difficult conversations, because what they'll end up doing is finding a lot of things already in place are unconstitutional," Mr. Tarbutton said.

Mr. Goodlatte credited Virginia Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, a Republican, with coming up with the idea of a public reading of the Constitution. Mr. Cuccinelli brought suit against the federal health care law and won the judge's ruling that part of the law is unconstitutional.


Mr. Goodlatte said it's too early to tell exactly how the reading will go, though he expects many members to take part.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is soooo needed and I am thrilled they are going to do this. I hope everyone of them will be present and that they LISTEN when it is read and the FOLLOW it!!

It’ll be good to see a fresh start. The 111th left such a train wreck, especially at the end. Good riddance to that cabal of communists.

Actually they should read the Declaration of Independence, AND the Constitution!!

GOP Rep.Steve Buyer To Acting House Speaker Dem Rep.Laura Richardson And Her Tyrannical Behavior: "This is why the People have Thrown You Out"






This is quite an exchange on the House floor, it is between Republican Steve Buyer and the acting Democratic House Speaker who is playing games with the rules. She will not recognize him and there is no one to object.

Republican Rep. Steve Buyer reading acting House Speaker (Dem Rep. Laura Richardson) the riot act over the power games she was playing by refusing to recognize him to speak even though there was no one else even there to object to him being recognized. As she continued to deny him the right to speak, Buyer even said to her, “This is why the American People have thrown you out of power.”

Gov. Bobby Jindal: TSA Needs To Move Away From Political Correctness






The Blaze

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has been in the news in recent weeks for his new book, “Leadership and Crisis,” which delivers an earnest critique of the Obama administration‘s response to last summer’s Gulf oil spill. Jindal also appeared on Meet the Press Sunday and criticized the federal government for playing defense and relying on luck to protect the nation from terrorists.

The federal government has to face the fact the War on Terror is about enemies who hate the U.S. way of life, not about social justice, he said.
“The reality is, this isn‘t about people who don’t have enough jobs, who don’t have enough social aid, this is about fighting an enemy that hates our way of life,” Jindal said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”


“This is a fundamental clash of cultures. … This isn’t, well, let’s go and figure out a way to apologize for Americans. This isn‘t how we offended them because we’re supporting Israel,” he continued.

On Monday, Jindal phoned into the Glenn Beck Program to weigh in on the ongoing debate surrounding the nation’s airport security. The administration has made two fundamental mistakes, he said. “Number one, they are so focused on treating terrorists like citizens and citizens like suspects. They worry so much about the rights of the terrorists. Where are the rights for the average American? They need to move away from political correctness.”


“They continue to try to respond to this terrorist threat where they befriend impostor. Well, we got lucky with the underwear bomber, we got lucky with the Times Square bomber. We got lucky with the packages. Luck is not a strategy,” Jindal added.



Also...Jindal: Obama told us not to criticize him on TV.......

In an interview yesterday on Glenn Beck’s radio show, Bobby Jindal said that at a meeting with the President during the gulf oil spill, that he and the President of Plaquemines Parish were told specifically by Obama not to go on TV and criticize him. Jindal says that it was clear Obama was frustrated with the level of criticism he was getting and goes on to accuse Obama of caring more about perception and politics than actually cutting through the red tape and getting things done.

More double standard and DICTATOR behavior from Obama, since we just finished another election season where Obama lied and smeared Republicans on TV every chance he got. He used that car-in-the-ditch-Slurpee metaphor so much that even the news media was begging for something new.


.



Wild Thing's comment.........

Jindal is a man of honor. A good man indeed. He is right I like what he said about how we treat the terrorists vs. the citizens.

Jindal went publically on the record several times, ranting against Obama’s handling of the Deepwater Horizon.

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan Talks About Bush Tax Cuts For ALL Americans






GOP Rep. Paul Ryan Says Obama Believes in "Class Warfare" and "Redistribution"

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan talking about the chances for agreement with the Democrats and President Obama on extending the Bush Tax Cuts for all Americans. Ryan says there are Democrats who have come to the position that we must not raise taxes on anyone during these economic times. But when asked if he believes there is a chance for such agreement with President Obama, Ryan was very skeptical:


“Well, I don’t know about that. Now Alice Rivlin, Erskine Bowles – they are in favor of this lowering the tax rates. But I do believe President Obama does believe more in economic redistribution. He’s clearly a class warfare guy, and so I don’t think he likes the idea of lowering the top tax rates.”




.


Wild Thing's comment........


I am so sick of the lies from the left about tax cuts. And the stupid people that believe those lies. sheesh.

Obama and the rest on the left that do not want the Bush Tax cuts should be shamed and pointed out how they are the ones destroying our economy.

Veterans On Their Bikes Rally To Support Boy's Flag Display




Hundreds ride with Cody!!

13 year old Cody Alicea was escorted to Denair Middle School by veterans and bikers, all proudly flying the American flag on their bikes.




.



School District Superintendent Edward Parraz said Cody Alicea, 13, was told not to fly the U.S. flag from his bike after complaints from other students to avoid “racial tension.”

DENAIR, Calif. -- A 13-year-old Stanislaus County boy at the center of a flag controversy got a big show of support Monday as many bikers rallied to his side.

Cody Alicea was earlier told by Denair Middle School officials that he could not ride onto campus with a U.S. flag on his bike. The story has gained international attention, from Rush Limbaugh to soldiers in Afghanistan.

The school changed its mind, and now Alicea can display the stars and stripes.

When he rode from his home to school on Monday, he was followed by a parade of people on motorcycles. The group said the Pledge of Allegiance upon arriving at school.

"It means a lot to me," a tearful Alicea said after arriving at school.

Denair Unified School District Superintendent Edward Parraz said the campus recently experienced some racial tension. He said some students got out of hand on Cinco de Mayo. He said some students displayed the Mexican flag, while others displayed American flags.

Alicea said he was surprised at the attention.

"This is big," Alicea said. "I didn't think it'd get this big."


.

GREAT Video HERE........ I LOVE this!
In this video he also tells about his family having served our country. He wants to go into the Air Force when he grows up and work on planes the news said. Cody’s comments are worth clicking through to watch on this video.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I LOVE this! Those bikers are a beautiful sight. All those Flags and to know Veterans are there with their bikes to support dear Cody and America!

The American Legion Riders, the Patriot Guard Riders, and Rolling Thunder thank you all!!! From the reports these were the American Legion Riders. I love all of them!

God bless this young man Cody, and God bless America. We will be alright so long as we have young people like this, and so long as we stand with together.

Rush talked about this on his show yesterday as well. I am so glad, the more coverage this gets the better. Shame on that school big time. This ia AMERICA!!!!

Among voters, Dems No. 3!




Among voters, Dems No. 3!

55% like GOP, 51% like tea party, and then ...

wnd


Whatever else President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have done over the past two years, they have raised the profile of the Democrat Party – in a negative way. In fact, a new WND/Wenzel Poll reveals that voters like the GOP, take to the tea party just a little less, and end up putting the Democrat Party in third.


Fritz Wenzel conducted the poll Nov. 5-7 with an automated technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. It contacted 1,656 people, has a confidence interval of 95 percent and a margin of error of plus or minus 2.37 percentage points.


He said the results show "why Republicans made big gains in the congressional elections just past, as they held a historically unusual double-digit advantage over their Democratic Party counterparts."

The survey also shows that the tea party movement holds a favorable image among a majority of Americans, revealing why a cadre of high-profile candidates supported by the movement fared well on election day," he said.


Of those polled, 55 percent held a favorable view of the Republican Party, 51 percent had a favorable opinion of the tea party movement, and only 43 percent had a favorable opinion of Democrats.

"For Democrats, a problem has been among their own base – 15 percent of Democrats said they had a negative opinion of their own party, compared to just 9 percent of Republicans who said the same thing. In an election cycle where small margins made a big difference, this GOP advantage may have meant the flip of several 'blue dog' Democratic seats into GOP hands," Wenzel's analysis said.
"But there is no question that the underlying power of this election was the energy brought by the tea party movement, and even among Democrats, 24 percent said they held a favorable opinion of the movement. Combine that with the fact that 49 percent of independents had a positive view of the movement … and you begin to understand the historic advantage Republican candidates had," he said.

The results show regarding the Democrat Party, 44.7 percent of voters held a very unfavorable opinion, and 10.2 percent were somewhat unfavorable. The numbers for the GOP included 27.7 percent very unfavorable and 15 percent somewhat unfavorable. Even among Democrats, 23 percent held a favorable view of the GOP.

Regarding the tea party, 49 percent of independents held a favorable opinion and 24 percent of Democrats held a favorable opinion.

"While this tea party movement enjoys an overall favorable image, it is notable that the advantage is not overwhelming – which could easily explain why some Republican challengers in Democratic Party strongholds were disappointed on election day, including high-profile GOP candidates in Delaware, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state," Wenzel said.
"Men had a significantly more positive attitude toward the tea party movement than did women – 58 percent of men had a favorable view, while 47 percent of women felt the same way."


In related questions in the poll, voters preferred former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich to challenge Obama in 2012, with support from 24 percent of Republicans and independents. Mitt Romney is second at 18 percent and Tim Pawlenty and Sarah Palin are tied at 16 percent.

Among Republicans only, Gingrich holds the support of 30 percent, Romney has 23 percent, Pawlenty has 17 percent and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann moved into fourth place with 14 percent.

Palin was the far-and-away favorite among independents, with 28 percent, followed by Gingrich and Pawlenty with 16 percent each.

"This represents something of a conundrum for potential Republican candidates in that they will have to appeal to Republicans to win the nomination, but they will have to win a substantial percentage of independent voters to defeat Obama in the general election of 2012. With such a split between the preferences of Republicans and independents, this could be the biggest challenge facing the GOP presidential field," Wenzel said.


He reported among Republicans and independents, 55 percent said it was most important that their next presidential candidate agree with them on issues, while 45 percent said it was most important that the next nominee be able to defeat Obama.

Wild Thing's comment.......

This is good news, at least for this election people finally started to wake up. I hope it continues into the next election big time.

There have to be a lot of democrats that never wanted their party to go so far to the left as it has been doing. Just as there were so many of us that did not like our own GOP catering to rino’s.

Awesome John Boehner Says Boehner: No Private Jet Trips Home



Boehner: No private jet trips home


The Hill


Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), the presumptive Speaker-elect of the House, will not use a private jet as Speaker for trips back and forth to his home district, he said Wednesday.

“Over the last 20 years, I have flown back and forth to my district on commercial aircraft, and I’m going to continue to do that,” Boehner told reporters at a press conference.


The statement signals the first time since 2001 that a House Speaker has traveled commerically between Washington and their home district.

Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Speaker of the House, third in line to the presidency, was assigned a designated Air Force jet to shuttle them back and forth to their home districts on weekends.

Former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) used the jet, as does Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). In 2007, Pelosi requested, and received, a larger jet than Hastert had used — this one capable of flying between Washington and California without stopping to refuel.

A spokesman for Boehner said the Minority Leader had already spoken to security officials about his desire to travel commercially on the weekends, and that he would still use military transport for certain types of trips, like those to Afghanistan or Iraq.


Speaker Pelosi liked to fly in style. She racked up an expensive booze and food tab on her flights across the country.

Sen.-elect Marco Rubio (R-FL) Delivers The Weekly GOP Address Nov.6th,2010








Senator-Elect Marco Rubio delivering this week’s GOP Weekly Address. Rubio spoke about the “unique exceptionalism” of America, which he called “the greatest nation on earth.”

Here’s the transcript:


“Hi, I’m Marco Rubio.

“With Election Day now behind us, it’s an honor to talk to you about the opportunity before us – an opportunity to put America back on track.

“For too long, Washington has taken our country in the wrong direction: bigger government, reckless spending, and run away debt. And though I’m a proud Republican, here’s the truth, both parties have been to blame.

“This election the American people said enough is enough. That message was loud and clear. We Republicans would be mistaken if we misread these results as simply an embrace of the Republican party. This Election is a second chance. A second chance for Republicans to be what we said we were going to be.

“America is the single greatest nation on earth, a place without equal in the history of all mankind. A place built on free enterprise, where the employee can become the employer. Where small businesses are started every day in a spare bedroom and where someone like me, the son of a bartender and a maid, can become a United States Senator.

“I know about the unique exceptionalism of our country. Not because I read about it in a book, I’ve seen it through my own eyes. You see, I was raised in a community of exiles, by people who lost their country, people who once had dreams like we do today, but had to come to a foreign shore to find them.

“For some their dreams were answered here in America, but many others found a new dream. To leave their children with the kinds of opportunities they themselves never had. And that is what we must do as a nation. To fulfill our sacred obligation to leave the next generation of Americans a better America than the one we inherited. And that is what this election was about.

“In the past two years, Republicans listened to the American people and what they said is that it was time for a course correction.

“The past two years provided a frightening glimpse at what could become of our great nation if we continue down the current path: wasteful spending, a growing debt and a government reaching ever further into our lives, even into our health care decisions.

“It is nothing short of a path to ruin, a path that threatens to diminish us as a nation and a people. One that makes America not exceptional, not unique, but more like the rest of the world.

“As Republicans, here is what our commitment should be to you. Our focus must not be simply winning elections. It must be to ensure the next generation inherits a strong, free and prosperous America.

“We will govern as public servants who understand that re-election is simply a byproduct of good public service and good ideas. And most importantly, we will stand up and offer an alternative to the policies coming out of Washington for the past two years.

“The challenges are too great, too generational in scope for us to be merely opponents of bad policies. Instead, we will put forward bold ideas and have the courage to fight for them. This means preventing a massive tax increase scheduled to hit every American taxpayer at the end of the year. It means repealing and replacing the disastrous health care bill. It means simplifying our tax code, and tackling a debt that is pushing us to the brink of our own Greece-like day of reckoning.

“For many of us coming to Washington for the first time and others returning to serve, it’s a long way from home. A long way from the people whose eyes we looked into at town halls, at diners or roundtables, and promised that this time it would be different. That if you elected Republicans to office again, we would not squander the chance you gave us, and we must not. Because nothing less than the identity of our country and what kind of future we will leave our children is at stake.

“That is our commitment and from you we ask this: hold us accountable to the ideas and principles we campaigned on.

“This is our second chance to get this right. To make the right decisions and the tough calls and to leave our children what they deserve – the freest and most exceptional society in all of human history.

“Thank you for listening, God bless you and your family, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.”

Rep. Mike Pence: Americans Want Republicans to Get Things Undone





The video was done before the election and the quote below is taken from after the election.


PENCE: “I’m going to ensure that Republicans come out of the gate and seize this moment, we’ve really been given a second chance at a first impression and I’m going to tell them that we have to rise to the challenge with principle and conviction and not with this attitude that you saw coming from the White House yesterday and from some other quarters on the establishment left in Washington which was that somehow the message of the election was that they want Democrats and Republicans to work better together, to get along — good heavens… Tuesday wasn’t about getting things done, it was about getting things undone”

Wild Thing's comment........


Rep. Mike Pence is another one of the good guys that has been strong all along. He lead the Drill Now with many other Republicans and has taken a stand against obamacare and other things on obama's agenda as well.

GOP Picks Up 680 State Legislature Seats



GOP Picks Up 680 State Legislature Seats

While the Republican gains in the House and Senate are grabbing the most headlines, the most significant results on Tuesday came in state legislatures where Republicans wiped the floor with Democrats.

Republicans picked up 680 seats in state legislatures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures -- the most in the modern era. To put that number in perspective: In the 1994 GOP wave, Republicans picked up 472 seats. The previous record was in the post-Watergate election of 1974, when Democrats picked up 628 seats.

The GOP gained majorities in at least 14 state house chambers. They now have unified control -- meaning both chambers -- of 26 state legislatures.

That control is a particularly bad sign for Democrats as they go into the redistricting process. If the GOP is effective in gerrymandering districts in many of these states, it could eventually lead to the GOP actually expanding its majority in 2012.


Republicans now hold the redistricting "trifecta" -- both chambers of the state legislature and the governorship -- in 15 states. They also control the Nebraska governorship and the unicameral legislature, taking the number up to 16. And in North Carolina -- probably the state most gerrymandered to benefit Democrats -- Republicans hold both chambers of the state legislature and the Democratic governor does not have veto power over redistricting proposals.

The GOP holds the redistricting trifecta in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Utah, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Ohio - plus, as noted earlier, Nebraska and North Carolina.

Of those, South Carolina, Utah, Georgia and Texas are projected to gain seats after the census. Florida is also slated to gain, but the state just passed a ballot referendum seeking to take control of redistricting process away from the state legislature.

Ohio and Michigan are also important because they are projected to lose at least one seat, making the redistricting lines all the more important.

Rush Limbaugh: The American People Gave Obama the “Middle Finger” Scratch in Midterms – Audio

Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh yesterday summing up the results of the 2010 Midterm Elections as the American People using their “middle finger” to scratch at Obama. Limbaugh was referencing Obama’s passive-aggressive habit of using his middle finger during speeches to scratch his nose or face at the very moment he is mentioning political opponents. Rush says: “Barack Obama is not the only person who can scratch his nose with his middle finger.”


.


Wild Thing's comment........

Awesome stuff. People are getting involved and running. And winning. And we need to keep this up and not stop. There will be more to give our suppot to in the next election. This was a HUGE step and I am thrilled. The next election will be another huge step.

The message is clear, indelible and overwhelming.

If Liberals want to continue in their usual state of denial, hysteria and self-induced myopia, that’s fine.

They can take the voting results, manipulate them, make excuses, or slice and dice them any way they want… it comes out the same. THEY are going in a direction VERY FEW Americans want to follow-and Americans have been CLEAR on this. Take no prisoners! Show them no quarter!


Obama will never on his own admit his agenda is NOT wanted. His trip to India is a major FU to us.

Six Republican Iraq and Afghan War Veterans Elected to Congress





The New Victory Caucus in Congress

NRO

On Tuesday, six Iraq and Afghanistan veterans were elected to Congress (and possibly seven, if Jesse Kelly pulls out his race in Arizona’s 8th district). All six (seven) of them support victory on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan and a hawkish national-security posture overall. The impressive list of warriors can be found at the bottom of this post, and also at Vets for Freedom’s website.

These warriors — and the two pro-victory Iraq veterans already in Congress (Duncan Hunter and Mike Coffman) — constitute a formidable new Victory caucus in the House. All eight (or nine) Iraq and Afghanistan veterans — an infantry-squad-sized element of Republicans — speak with special authority on very important issues facing the next Congress, especially winning the war in Afghanistan, winning the peace in Iraq, preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, and ensuring that the Pentagon has adequate resources to project American power and preserve American interests around the world.


But that’s not the only good news. Tuesday also brought losses for every single anti-war Iraq and Afghanistan veteran running for Congress — including the only two anti-war Iraq war incumbents in Congress (Patrick “the surge can’t work” Murphy in PA-8 and John Boccieri in OH-16). The group most undermined by this trouncing is VoteVets, the blatantly partisan anti-war “veterans” group that came up empty on Election Night (and has already removed all the candidates from its website).

All of this taken together means that every single Iraq and Afghanistan veteran in Congress today is pro-victory. The true voice of our warrior generation will soon be heard on Capitol Hill, and the anti-war movement no longer has a veteran to prop up in defense of its reckless policies. This is all great news for America, and motivation for her warriors. The list of new Iraq/Afghanistan vets in Congress is:


The list of new Iraq/Afghanistan vets in Congress is:

– Lt. Col. Allen West (FL-22) – Iraq, Afghanistan, & Gulf war

– Lt. Col. Steve Stivers (OH-15) — Iraq war

– Capt. Adam Kinzinger (IL-11) — Iraq & Afghanistan wars

– Col. Joe Heck (NV-3) — Iraq war

– Maj. Tim Griffin (AR-2) — Iraq war

– Col. Chris Gibson (NY-20) — Iraq war (4 tours)

GOP Leaves A Gift at Democratic HQ





Prank! GOP leaves a gift at Democratic HQ

The Hill

In 1992, a life sized donkey was placed at the front door of the Republican National Committee offices. It was a fitting prank in a year when Democrats took the White House and retained majorities in the House and Senate.

Last night, Republicans got payback.

That same donkey, shown here, was delivered after midnight to the steps of the DNC, covered in logo gear from the GOP’s successful 2010 campaign to take back a majority in the House.

Darrell Issa Signals Restraint in Obama Oversight ~ Darrell You Are Wrong







Darrell Issa signals restraint in Obama oversight


Politico

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who will have far-ranging subpoena power in the new Congress as a result of Tuesday’s election, is going out of his way to dispel perceptions that he’s a partisan bombthrower who plans to use his newfound authority to paralyze President Barack Obama’s administration.

“I want to prove the pundits wrong. My job is not to bring down the president. My job is to make the president a success,” Issa said on a midnight conference call with reporters, just after House Minority Leader John Boehner’s victory speech.


Issa took a restrained view of his likely new post as chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, saying that on many issues his panel would play second fiddle to other Congressional committees.


“Our jurisdiction is narrow,” Issa said. “I’m going to stick to my knitting, which is waste, fraud and abuse, whenever possible.”


Issa was so eager to put forward an image of a nuts-and-bolts government reformer that he stressed his desire to explore such unsexy subjects as the Postal Service’s financial troubles.

“Is it high profile? No [but] that’s billions of dollars we’ve got to pay attention to,” he said.


However, Issa signaled that he would continue to pursue some issues he has been outspoken on in recent months, possibly including his claim that the Obama administration violated the law by offering an administration job to Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) in a failed effort to head off his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.). (The Republican candidate, Pat Toomey, defeated Sestak Tuesday.)

Without elaborating, Issa said he would insist that the Obama administration respond to all the outstanding inquiries from the committee’s Republican staff that have accumulated during the current Congress.


“First and foremost, we’re going to ask that all the letters we’ve sent, that are our Constitutional responsibility being met — that we get answers to them. And I suspect many of them will have information coming to us well before we — I get sworn in in January,” Issa said.


Issa struck a similarly modest tone when discussing the import of the sweeping victories Republicans enjoyed Tuesday. He claimed no broad mandate for GOP policies and seemed to agree that the election results primarily signaled dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama and his administration.

“We’ve been hired to take America back to the middle,” Issa said. He struck a bipartisan tone, promising to work with Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) on food safety, for example, and with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reform.


Issa rejected the idea that he’s softening his tone on how aggressive his committee will be because of pushback from other committee chairmen-in-waiting who are eager to get a piece of the investigative pie.

“I’ve had great support from all the other ranking members,” he said. “I expect to let them do their job, to let the primary committees of jurisdiction do their job.”

Wild Thing's comment.......


He should have never said his job to make the president look good or help him with his agenda...dense. had to cover his stupid remark at the beginning...Rush gave him an earful on his program...and went to a break, without this guy coming back on...

He said the wrong thing on Rush's show last week and Rush went off on him big time. Issa has been really good, so it was a surprise. We just have to keep an eye on all of these elected people and keep letting them know voting works both ways, being elected and being out of a job.

This part ia good, I do like this handgrenade:

“First and foremost, we’re going to ask that all the letters we’ve sent, that are our Constitutional responsibility being met — that we get answers to them. And I suspect many of them will have information coming to us well before we — I get sworn in in January,” Issa said.

One of the problems Rush had with him was that he started talking Washingtonian...about holding the democrats feet to the fire, changing the laws in the house to be more transparent etc...Rush stopped him and said the country doesn't care about the rules in house etc, they care about the country, and where its headed. The want the spending stopped, Obamacare etc...

In other words, be a conservative and not just a go along to get along type of guy (my paraphrasing) I personally don't care about the house rules as much as I care about stopping the spending, destroying the medical care etc.

The dimensions of a staggering GOP victory in the Texas House are now clear: Republicans posted a net gain of 22 seats -- far, far more than anyone I know predicted. Labor and liberals are cringing because if the GOP caucus holds together, it's just one vote shy of the two thirds needed to pass constitutional amendments. Pretty big stuff. Not one Republican incumbent went down to defeat


GOP takes full control of Pennsylvania Statehouse
HARRISBURG - Republicans riding the wave of anti-incumbent sentiment took control of both chambers of the legislature on Tuesday. Retaining its grip on the Senate and unseating enough Democrats to get a majority in the House, the GOP could look forward to ruling the General Assembly as well as the governor's office, soon to be occupied by Tom Corbett.

ALASKA .......Teams of Joe Miller lawyers to watch Senate write-in count
Alaska Senate hopeful Joe Miller's campaign is gearing up for a legal fight over write-in ballots in the hotly contested race with Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski mounted a write-in bid after losing the GOP primary to Miller in August. Unofficial returns Tuesday night showed write-in ballots with a lead over Miller. But it's not clear how many of those are votes for Murkowski; she was one of 160 candidates qualified to be written-in. Miller campaign manager Robert Campbell says the overall results are disappointing; Miller had hoped to win the race outright Tuesday night.

I hope Scott and GOP are watching the ballot handling and counting like hawks. Palm Beach county is the hold up. And yep, that was the infamous county that screwed up the 2000 election. That county is a JOKE! Would not surprise me if they are trying to cook the books in those last few dozen precincts that they are taking forever to count.

Republican Scott says he's Florida's next governor

(Reuters) - Republican Rick Scott declared victory in the Florida governor's race on Wednesday, saying he beat Democrat Alex Sink in a close and bruising contest that flooded the airwaves with attack advertisements.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting, the Miami Herald and other Florida newspapers said Scott appeared to have won with a wafer-thin 1 percentage point edge over Sink in the electoral swing state.

"Based on the numbers we're seeing, after all the votes are counted, I'm absolutely confident I will be the next governor," Scott told supporters early on Wednesday at his election night headquarters in Fort Lauderdale.

"We look forward to finishing the count. We know we're going to win. We have won and we look forward to getting this state back to work."

There was no immediate response from Sink but she had declined to concede hours earlier, telling her own supporters the race was too close to call.

"It's coming down to the wire in what looks to be a dead-even race," she said shortly after midnight, as Scott clung to the narrow but persistent lead he held since the polls closed on Tuesday evening.

"We're Floridians, so we know what it means to count every single vote," Sink said.

She was referring to the state's well-known reputation for electoral controversies and the so-called "Butterfly Ballot" and "Hanging Chad" mayhem that erupted during the 2000 presidential vote count.

After 3 a.m. EDT, there was still no word on when the final official results would be made public. It was also unclear whether an automatic recount might be triggered, if results are within half of 1 percentage point.

With more than 5 million ballots counted, the difference between Scott and Sink was just 54,260 votes.

Marco Rubio: "I've Never Had A Heckler In The Debate"





Marco Rubio calls out Charlie Crist for his constant interruptions on CNN, saying, “I’ve never had a heckler at the debate, I’ve always had them in the audience…I’ve had this heckler going on for two minutes now.”


"I've never had a heckler at the debate; I've always had them in the audience," Marco Rubio (R-FL) jokingly said after Charlie Crist (I-FL) continued to interrupt him during his time in the debate.

"I apologize, I have this heckler going on for two minutes now," Rubio said as Crist continued.

Senator John Thune Responds To Obama and His







.


GOP Weekly Address by Senator John Thune


Here is the complete transcript from his address:

Hello, I’m Senator John Thune of South Dakota. As you’ve probably noticed, we have an election coming up in a little over a week.

President Obama has been running around the country trying to reelect Democrat members of Congress.

But if the conversations I’ve had with voters are any indication, the president should spend less time campaigning to save the jobs of Democrats in Congress, and more time trying to create jobs for the American people.

All across South Dakota and the country, I’ve heard from people who aren’t fooled by President Obama’s well-written speeches. They have serious concerns about our economy, and they are all too familiar with the Administration’s failed policies.

One of the Democrats’ main responsibilities over the past two years was to improve the economy. Instead, they decided to try an experiment to grow government, raise taxes, and take over health care. After two years, the American people are left asking, ‘Why have the Democrats’ priorities been so different from ours?’

The Obama Experiment has failed.


When the president and his Democrat allies in Congress pushed through their $814 billion stimulus bill, they promised it would create millions of jobs, and keep unemployment under eight percent. But their approach didn’t work, and they failed to deliver on their promises.

Unemployment has climbed to nearly 10 percent. Rather than create jobs, the Democrats expanded government, and now the American people are stuck with another bill for nearly a trillion dollars.

When the president was introducing his big government health care plan, he promised to reduce every family’s health insurance premiums by as much as $2,500. But premiums keep going up. Families in some states are seeing increases in the double digits. Here again, Democrats promised but didn’t deliver, and the American people are stuck with rising health care costs and another tab; this one for two-and-a-half trillion dollars.

The Democrats have controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress for nearly two years, and have proven that more government is not the answer. This year they were not even capable of passing a budget. Instead, they spent their time passing more and more burdensome regulations, like their so-called Financial Reform bill that failed to address the main cause of our economic mess.

Despite a dangerously high national debt that is closing in on $14 trillion, the president wants to spend even more money on these kinds of failed policies. And he appears intent on raising taxes to do it.

Giving Democrats more opportunities to manage the economy and spend taxpayer dollars will not give us the economic growth that we need. It will only lead to more growth of government bureaucracy, and to national bankruptcy.There is a reason unemployment is stuck near ten percent.

There is a reason jobs are not being created.

There is a reason too many Americans who want a job can’t find one.

There is a reason the dollar is weak and our economy is not growing as it should.

The reason is that President Obama and Congressional Democrats have led this country in the wrong direction.

Government cannot be openly hostile to American businesses, and expect them to grow and create jobs.


Government cannot raise taxes during tough economic times, and expect small businesses to grow and create jobs.


A new direction is needed.

The president likes to say that when you want to drive forward you put your car in D, and when you want to go in reverse you put it in R. It’s a clever line, but when you’re speeding toward a cliff, you don’t want to keep the car in drive.

Republicans want to reverse the dangerous course the Democrats have us on.

Republicans want to reverse Democrats’ plan to raise taxes on the 750,000 small businesses in this country that employ 25 percent of all workers. So employers have more money to create new jobs.

Republicans support policies that will grow the economy, not the government.

Republicans want to repeal the flawed health care law that has been rejected by the American public, and replace it with a new plan that actually reduces costs. We want to reverse the uncertainty in the marketplace so that small businesses have the confidence to grow and invest and create jobs.

And Republicans want to reverse this nonsense of government bailouts and takeovers of private businesses.

Republicans have proposed real, concrete solutions to the challenges we face as a country.

We have learned the lessons not only of what hasn’t worked over the past two years, but what didn’t work the last time Republicans controlled Congress. Republicans are listening to the frustration being expressed by Americans all across this country, and we are determined to take this country in the right direction.

The choice could not be more clear. Democrats are driving more of the same failed policies they have pushed for the past two years. Republicans are proposing to take this country in a different direction.

So I would like to suggest a simple question people should ask themselves to help cut through all the talk: Are you better off today than you were two years ago? I’m Senator John Thune. Thank you for listening.


.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Love the way he offered Obama driving instructions: Obama Should “Spend Less Time Campaigning for the Jobs of Democrats and More Time Trying to Create American Jobs”

Obama has been using the stupid driving the car example for months now.





Obama uses his favorite metaphor to criticize the GOP's economic policies. Obama says the GOP left the economy in pieces, like a car in a ditch and now they want the keys back. He says as the Democrats are trying to "pull" the car out of the ditch, the GOP is just sitting back and "sipping on a Slurpee."

GOP Congressional Candidate Stephen Broden: "violent overthrow of government is 'on the table"






Stephen Broden's benediction. It's a heck of a benediction. He is wonderful! I found this at YouTube it is a good sample of what he is like. ~ Wild Thing

GOP congressional candidate Stephen Broden says violent overthrow of government is 'on the table'


Dallas Morning News

Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.


In a rambling exchange during a TV interview, Broden, a South Dallas pastor, said a violent uprising "is not the first option," but it is "on the table." That drew a quick denunciation from the head of the Dallas County GOP, who called the remarks "inappropriate."

Broden, a first-time candidate, is challenging veteran incumbent Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in Dallas' heavily Democratic 30th Congressional District. Johnson's campaign declined to comment on Broden.

In the interview, Brad Watson, political reporter for WFAA-TV (Channel 8), asked Broden about a tea party event last year in Fort Worth in which he described the nation's government as tyrannical.


"We have a constitutional remedy," Broden said then. "And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."


Watson asked if his definition of revolution included violent overthrow of the government. In a prolonged back-and-forth, Broden at first declined to explicitly address insurrection, saying the first way to deal with a repressive government is to "alter it or abolish it."


"If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary," Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain's King George III.


Watson asked if violence would be in option in 2010, under the current government.

"The option is on the table. I don't think that we should remove anything from the table as it relates to our liberties and our freedoms," Broden said, without elaborating. "However, it is not the first option."


.


Wild Thing's comment........

If the ‘RATS steal this election too, I wouldn’t rule it out either.

No one here at this blog, but many other people have forgotten the true purpose of the bill of rights.. At least the first 10

Those rights outlined were written by revolutionaries that fought hard to throw off the yoke of trynnany... And since they understood man is not perfect... And the power corrupts... wanted to insure the people had the ability to do it again.


Stephen Broden understands that we the people are going to be very, very upset if the direction the country is going isn’t change.

Rush stated this entire quote on his show Thursday, and it bears repeating:

Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves. -Sir Winston Churchill

This video below is a speech he gave......Stephen Broden on Conservatism . He really is awesome, I sure hope he wins.

Your Vote Is Your Voice---Fraud Is The Wildcard by By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.



Your Vote Is Your Voice---Fraud Is The Wildcard

By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.

Source for this article


The upcoming midterm elections are critical if patriots are to take back our government from the corruption which drives Fedzilla. We already have seen that those promising ‘hope and change’ has taken many hostages---our healthcare choices, rational cost-effective energy policy which has a lot to do with national security in an ever-threatening world of Islamic terrorism, and control of our borders which no longer exists. There are plenty of committed patriots running against the career incumbents who are guilty of bankrupting and destroying the fabric of America.

YOU have a choice to make and your choice is represented by your vote. This is no time for apathy or complacency.

Do you want America to survive or to go down in history as a failed experiment?


Voting to support the criminals who hate America, or not voting at all, is nothing short of national suicide, and we are well down that road with Barry Soetoro’s anti-American administration and their accomplices in Congress. The great ship of America is sinking and we must first plug the holes. Only then can we start bailing the water out.



The right to cast your vote is an important right, but there remains an ever-increasing problem with elections in America----fraud which is committed at many levels and which can result in shaping election outcomes against the will of voters. This happened in Minnesota and Texas amongst many other states in 2008. There are numerous special interest groups who are too willing to participate in fraudulent schemes for selfish benefit. The unions are but one example.


Another is deprivation of our overseas military personnel of their right to vote. States must ship paper ballots as soon as possible after the primaries so that our soldiers can vote in timely fashion in the midterm elections. Question: In the age of computers and barcodes, why do our military personnel not vote electronically? Answer: Our government is irresponsible.


Then we have the problem of allowing the dead and convicted felons to vote. The only way the dead can vote is by some living person who knowingly uses a deceased person’s identity. And boards of election should have in place a process to validate the eligibility of all ballots cast so that only living eligible persons can vote and only once.

So what can you do to help prevent voter fraud? Citizens should call their Board of Elections supervisor and inquire as to what safeguards they have in place to make sure that all votes counted are valid living individuals who are eligible and that duplication cannot occur.


Anyone who found guilty of committing voting fraud should be barred from voting and stiff penalties imposed by law, since they sabotage the process upon which our liberty is based. Make the call! Inquire! Volunteer to assist! Your vote is your voice and We The People collectively have the obligation to ensure that safeguards are in place to prevent fraud at the polls.

Great write up.

Yesterday Nick and I voted early. It was the first day for early voting here and it was very busy. In the past it was not as busy as it was yesterday. Since we are not supposed to wear campaign things etc. when you go vote.... I was a good girl. But I did wear my T-shirt that says in big letters on it....... ElRushbo.

hahahaa I figured just having Rush's signature name was a way of speaking out without breaking any rules. heh heh

Rachel Maddow vs. Art Robinson ( Robinson for Congress in Oregon)





His Positions

1. Tax and spend policies by government destroy more jobs than they create.

2. The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights as intended by the framers should be the basis of all U.S. laws.

3. Energy independence requires that government impediments to energy production - in the forms of taxation, regulation, and sponsorship of litigation - be rolled back.

4. Many government agencies are counterproductive and should be eliminated.

5 . Job growth requires that taxes and regulations imposed by government be reduced.

6. Government meddling in the farm and forest industries should cease.

7. U.S. borders should be firmly enforced. All people illegally present in the U.S. should be charitably and humanely returned to their countries of origin.

8. Government should not engage in so-called “bailout” or “stimulus” spending.

9. Government should not engage in takeovers of private enterprise.

10. Government should not take over American medical care. I oppose socialized medicine.

11. Government should provide for the common defense of the United States. Wars should be constitutionally declared and should only be undertaken for the defense of the United States. I oppose the current situation wherein American soldiers are quartered in more than 100 countries and frequently interfere in the affairs of those countries

12. Life should not be ended by abortion. I am pro life.

13. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.

Art Robinson For Congress

American Spectator

Art Robinson, a scientist who was profiled in TAS ("A Scientist Finds Independence," Feb. 2001), and has written for the magazine about global warming, is running for Congress. He confirmed in an email that he filed at the last minute for the GOP primary in Oregon's 4th congressional district.

"The spectacle in Washington is causing many Americans to do unexpected things," Robinson told me.


The winner of the primary will face Democrat Peter DeFazio, a 12-term incumbent. Robinson is a conservative Republican. DeFazio is a liberal and a member of the House Progressive Caucus.

Robinson is best known for his "Petition Project," in which he collected 31,000 signatures from scientists who oppose the "scientific consensus" supporting man-made global warming. He also publishes a newsletter, Access to Energy.

While still a young man, Robinson became a full Professor of Chemistry at U.C. San Diego. Later he was president of the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto. But his experiments showing that Vitamin C could not cure cancer caused a rupture with Pauling.

Robinson also has expert knowledge on civil defense and home schooling. After breaking with Pauling he formed the Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine. He does his own biomedical research with volunteer support at his farm in Southern Oregon. Robinson accepts no government funds.

Ignored race a harbinger of Dem doom?


wnd


A surprising internal poll is casting a spotlight on a previously ignored congressional race in Oregon that may foretell a November bloodbath for Democrats even worse than anyone has imagined.

Two years ago, 12-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio cruised to victory in Oregon's 4th District with 82 percent of the vote.

But a survey of likely voters by Wilson Research Strategies for the conservative group Concerned Taxpayers of America has the Democrat up by only 6 points, 48 to 42, over Republican nominee Art Robinson.

The Washington insider publication The Hill opines: "If Robinson, a first-time candidate, is even within 10 points of DeFazio, it makes you wonder how many other sleeper races might be out there ahead of this fall."

Robinson, an accomplished chemical scientist who homeschooled his six children after his wife died in 1988, contends DeFazio was feeling the heat long before the poll, the first substantial publicized gauge of the race.


While running hard against his own party – boasting of his few votes against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama – the Democrat DeFazio has been characterizing Robinson as an extremist, unfit for the geographically large southwest Oregon district that includes the left-leaning state university towns of Eugene and Corvallis along with conservative rural communities.

Robinson – noting his campaign has distributed 40,000 yard signs and barely has been able to keep up with demand – said he's been riding "a wave of middle class anger" that apparently has as much passion in his district as anywhere in the country.


"People are telling me they haven't seen a campaign like this for a generation," he said in an interview with WND. "Not that I'm a rock star, but I am putting one foot in front of another and articulating what they believe."

But Robinson says DeFazio is gaining momentum with a TV and radio "smear campaign"– based on outright lies and fabrications, he claims – that appears to have cast enough doubt about him to cause some independents to reconsider their support.

"There was a growing feeling that we were making a lot of headway," Robinson told WND. "What he's trying to do is not to convince people that all this stuff is true, but to cast doubt."


Robinson said his campaign did some basic phone polling that indicated he could win about 15 percent of Democrats, which have a 9 percent advantage in registration. A Magellen Strategies poll of district voters published June 30 found 36 percent would vote Republican, 35 percent Democrat and 29 percent were undecided.

Unscientific feedback indicated Robinson was winning by a large margin in rural areas, possibly enough to overcome the Democratic Party bastions of Eugene and Lane County.

Robinson said he has done about 130 meetings with enthusiastic citizens, drawing from 10 to 600, depending upon the area's population. In DeFazio's few meetings, the incumbent has encountered the current national mood.


"The middle class are mad, and they target his meetings," Robinson said.


But with DeFazio's ad campaign, he explained, there is "now a huge river of negativism about us."

" American Hero"



In a country, headed toward socialism, where the elitist few ran the government and did not govern for the people, but against them...

In a climate of arrogant words, never before seen flippant attitudes, photo ops, fake news stories, and continued out of control rhetoric...

In a time of rising debt, broken promises, increased taxes, out of control government spending, corporate takeovers and corrupt special interests ...

In a world where evil nations are developing nuclear weapons and where Obama pairs down the United State's arsenal leaving us more and more defenseless....


Now, more than ever, America needs a hero- one who has the power to change the political landscape. That hero, that voice... is You.


You were bullied
pushed
disgraced
dishonored
and made fun of.


While they golfed
vacationed lavishly
flew a dog on a separate jet
You suffered.


While they were being idolized
you were put out of work.
While they apologized for America's success
tax burdens increased for small businesses.
They wasted billions!
Europe told them no at the G20
Republicans tried to tell them no but were outnumbered.
Enough
is
Enough!

Now it's your turn.
On November 2nd
be a hero.
Vote to reclaim our country.
It's time to send the hippies home

Lt. Col. Allen West Says,“We Have to Transfer the Wealth of the American People back to the American People"




Florida GOP candidate for Congress, Allen West, telling a group of supporters recently that we are now in the “4th Quarter” of this election campaign, and it’s time for everyone to leave it all on the field to win this election.

West said Democrats want to create more “victims” – more people who become dependent on the government, because that justifies their desire to keep growing government. West went on to say that if we continue down the road we are on, America is going to look like California or even Greece.

West challenged his listeners that “we have to get them (Democrats) off the field,” and start going in the right direction. That’s what the 2010 Elections are all about.


“We have got to understand that we have to transfer the wealth of the American People back to the American People. We have got to cut back this incredible Government spending that continues to grow and grow. They want your money not to bring down the debt, they want your money to continue to grow the debt.”

Democrats and Democrat Ron Klein Release Social Security Number Of Lt. Col. Allen



Republican candidate for Congress Lt. Col. Allen West says a document sent to thousands of voters has his Social Security number on it.


The race to become Florida-22′s congressman is becoming interesting. According to Ron Klein’s internal polling of 500 likely voters, he is in a tough race for re-election, and this is the first time a republican is actually giving him a run for his money.

48% of voters said they’ll vote for Klein versus 40% who are set with Allen West. Although the margin is 8 points, the trend is moving West’s way, and there is a 4% margin of error. In other words, this is a winnable race for West. This poll was taken a week ago. It’ll be eye-opening to see how poll numbers are now with the recent news of the Florida democrat party releasing Allen West’s social security number.


More on Klein’s internal polling:


Poll numbers not necessarily as good as it seems. The campaign said the poll of 500 likely voters, conducted Sept. 14-16 by Anzalone Liszt Research has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

Readers need to be skeptical. The campaign released only the results for a few questions without any details, including the wording of the questions or the order in which they were asked. All those factors can skew results, which is why all candidate polls need to be viewed with some caution.

Allen West actually has a shot at winning this race. Klein’s hesitation to release any more details of the polls, as well as his his party’s deliberate revelation of Allen West’s social security number, proves they are running scared. This political cycle is the opportunity for republicans to make gains and FL-22 is one of them. West is using these acts of desperation to pummel Klein in this new ad in video above.


Politico

The Florida Democratic Party has offered to pay to protect Republican congressional candidate Allen West from identity theft because it sent out a mailer featuring his Social Security number.

West, a retired Army colonel and YouTube sensation running against Rep. Ron Klein, was hit with a tax lien — since paid — in 2005, and the state party attacked him for it and other financial problems in a mailer sent out to 22nd District voters over the weekend.

The piece featured a photo of an IRS document showing the tax lien — and while West’s address was blacked out, his Social Security number and his wife’s Employment Identification Number were clearly visible.


“Ron Klein has clearly crossed a line. I'm not yet sure the potential damage that might come to my wife and me, and it makes me sick to think of what could happen to my daughters. My entire family is at risk of identity theft,” West said in a statement about the mailer.

The state Democratic Party called West’s claims about his children “bizarre” and called his concern about the mailer “another moment of West's paranoia.”

Still, it agreed to pay for identity theft monitoring for two years, and party officials apologized — sort of.


West has not said whether he will accept the party’s offer.

This is terrible, the democrats will never have honor.


Dems did the same thing to Michael Steele in Maryland. Huffpo had a doc on their site that had Sarah Palin's address and Social on it that was back in 2008. It seems to be a pattern.

GOP Rep. Paul Ryan absolutely destroying Florida Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Reform of Social Security



Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan absolutely destroying Florida Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a discussion on reform of Social Security. Ryan said he has tried to address the massive debt and insolvency of Social Security and Medicare on an “adult level,” but Wasserman Schultz just kept trotting out the same old tired attacks Democrats have used for years on the issue.

Ryan is offering straight talk and real solutions to preserve the Social safety net for current seniors, and provide something long-term for younger citizens.

Notice how Ryan’s eye-rolls at Wasserman Shultz’s attacks are priceless!



.

Congressman Paul Ryan continues his efforts to advance an adult conversation on the urgent need to protect Social Security for current and future generations. Ryan's efforts were met -- again -- with false attacks earlier today on CNN's Situation Room in a spirited exchange with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. By pushing desperate demagoguery and no solutions, leading Democrats threaten to shred the critical social safety net as our crushing burden of debt explodes and our critical health and retirement security programs collapse.

Facts on Social Security and Ryan's Roadmap

Should politicians continue to cling to the unsustainable status quo, Social Security will not be able to meet its promise to our seniors, imposing painful benefit cuts on those most reliant on this critical program. The Social Security Administration continues to warn of across-the-board 22% benefit cuts for seniors in the heart of their retirement when the Trust Fund is exhausted. Social Security continues to run annual cash deficits, with over $5 trillion in unfunded liabilities.


To meet this challenge, Congressman Paul Ryan offered an invitation for solutions -- putting forward a specific plan the Congressional Budget Office and the Social Security Administration's Chief Actuaries confirmed would save Social Security, making it sustainably solvent for current and future generations. Ryan's legislative proposal -- H.R. 4529, A Roadmap for America's Future -- makes no changes to Social Security for those 55 and older, while offering future seniors the same health and retirement security options enjoyed by Members of Congress.

- Ryan's reforms make no changes in the program for Americans 55 and older, while strengthening Social Security so it will be there for future generations.


- Ryan's Roadmap secures the social safety net where it is most needed -- providing an increased benefit for low-income individuals, while making modest adjustments in the continued growth of benefits for wealthier seniors.


- At the center of the false attacks are Ryan's proposal to offer future seniors (those now 54 and younger) the option of guaranteed, personal accounts to help fulfill the mission of retirement security.


- Under Ryan's Roadmap, future beneficiaries would remain in the traditional government-run system, unless they choose to direct a portion of their payroll taxes to guaranteed personal accounts, owned by the individual, managed by the Social Security Administration, and guaranteed by the Federal government. Neither the traditional system or optional accounts system would be privatized.

- In the personal-accounts system, the accounts are managed and overseen by Social Security Administration - not a stockbroker or private investment firm. Those choosing the personal-accounts option would select from a handful of low-risk, government-regulated options — just as Members of Congress and Federal employees do with the Thrift Savings Plan.

- Ryan's Roadmap includes a fully-financed, government-backed guarantee so that individuals would get back, at minimum, every dime contributed to the optional, Social Security-managed accounts offered to those now 54 and younger.

House Republicans To Release " A Pledge To America " Today






House Republicans will be releasing their Pledge To America today.



Full 21 page Document here...A PLEDGE TO AMERICA




.


This writing below is from the

America is more than a country.

America is an idea -- an idea that free people can govern themselves, that government's powers are derived from the consent of the governed, that each of us is endowed by their Creator with the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. America is the belief that any man or woman can -- given economic, political, and religious liberty -- advance themselves, their families, and the common good.

America is an inspiration to those who yearn to be free and have the ability and the dignity to determine their own destiny.

Whenever the agenda of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to institute a new governing agenda and set a different course.

These first principles were proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, enshrined in the Constitution, and have endured through hard sacrifice and commitment by generations of Americans.

In a self-governing society, the only bulwark against the power of the state is the consent of the governed, and regarding the policies of the current government, the governed do not consent.

An unchecked executive, a compliant legislature, and an overreaching judiciary have combined to thwart the will of the people and overturn their votes and their values, striking down long-standing laws and institutions and scorning the deepest beliefs of the American people.

An arrogant and out-of-touch ruling class of a few makes decisions, issues mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting the input of the many.

Rising joblessness, crushing debt, and a polarizing political environment are fraying the bonds among our people and blurring our sense of national purpose.

Like free peoples of the past, our citizens refuse to accommodate a government that believes it can replace the will of the people with its own. The American people are speaking out, demanding that we realign our country's compass with its founding principles and apply those principles to solve our common problems for the common good.

The need for urgent action to repair our economy and reclaim our government for the people cannot be overstated.

With this document, we pledge to dedicate ourselves to the task of reconnecting our highest aspirations to the permanent truths of our founding by keeping faith with the values our nation was founded on, the principles we stand for, and the priorities of our people. This is our Pledge to America.

We pledge to honor the Constitution as constructed by its framers and honor the original intent of those precepts that have been consistently ignored -- particularly the Tenth Amendment, which grants that all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

We pledge to advance policies that promote greater liberty, wider opportunity, a robust defense, and national economic prosperity.

We pledge to honor families, traditional marriage, life, and the private and faith-based organizations that form the core of our American values.
We pledge to make government more transparent in its actions, careful in its stewardship, and honest in its dealings.

We pledge to uphold the purpose and promise of a better America, knowing that to whom much is given, much is expected and that the blessings of our liberty buoy the hopes of mankind.

We make this pledge bearing true faith and allegiance to the people we represent, and we invite fellow citizens and patriots to join us in forming a new governing agenda for America.

Wild Thing's comment.......

I believe the conservatives in the GOP have learned their lesson. Why? Because in 2 years we can get rid of THEM too and they know it. It's time for unity, and to support these conservatives in the GOP in getting us back on track. I'm proud of them for rising to the occasion. And it's up to US to KEEP THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE. I feel many conservatives are equally to blame for what has happened to America, ( remember how so many said they wuold not vote in 2006 and then Pelosi was set in place with their majority of democrats in power ) so I hope and pray we keep being part of the solution in partnership with the Tea Party and the conservatives in the GOP.

Political Ad by Citizens for the Republic..."“There’s Mourning in America”






This is a political ad by Citizens for the Republic, this ad is a takeoff on the famous “It’s Morning in America” ad that spearheaded President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign.

“Under the leadership of President Obama, our country is fading, and weaker, and worse off. His policies were a grand experiment – policies that failed. This November, let’s choose a smaller, more caring government – one that remembers us.”


In 1984, the Reagan reelection campaign set the standard for modern political advertising with its fabled "Morning in America" series, which included one of the greatest political ads of all time -- "Better, Prouder, Stronger." The ad captured the zeitgeist -- America under President Reagan was coming back, full of optimism and confidence in the future.

Today, the zeitgeist is exactly the opposite. Americans are worried about their future, and about a government determined to implement policies that just don't work. But like its predecessor, "Mourning in America" offers a new hope -- if we can just get our government to return to time-tested policies that can spark a rebirth of liberty.

This is the 1984 Reagan ad, “Morning in America”

Wild Thing's comment........

I wish these good ads like this would be playing on TV and often. It is great that we get to see them, but this kind of ad needs to be seen by more people and honestly not all people use computers even in todays' world.

Tokyo Rove Trying To Help Democrats Demands Witchcraft Explanation From O’Donnell






Karl Rove former top Bush aide is demanding that the conservative Republican explain her witchcraft comment from eleven years ago to voters.

Karl Rove, political mastermind for former President George W. Bush, said Sunday that Christine O’Donnell, the Tea Party insurgent who won an upset victory in Delaware for the GOP Senate nomination, “can’t simply ignore” the controversy stirred over the disclosure that she “dabbled in witchcraft” and has to find a way to “explain it and put it in its most sympathetic light and move on.”
“In southern Delaware, where there are a lot of church-going people, they’re probably going to want to know what was that all about,” Rove said on “Fox News Sunday.” “And again, she said it on television when she went on the … the Bill Maher show.”
Rove was referring to an October 1999 appearance O’Donnell made on Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show where she said,” I dabbled into witchcraft — I never joined a coven. … One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it.” O’Donnell had been on Maher’s show frequently in the 1990s, and Maher has said he is going to show an O’Donnell clip each week until she agrees to appear again.




.



Christine O'Donnell Responds To Witchcraft Comments




LINCOLN, Del.

Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell is making light of comments she made more than a decade ago about having dabbled in witchcraft when she was in high school.

"How many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school?" she asked fellow Republicans at a GOP picnic in southern Delaware on Sunday.
"There's been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now," O'Donnell jokingly assured the crowd.

Rove, the former GOP strategist and adviser to President George W. Bush, has suggested that O'Donnell's win in last week's GOP primary cost Republicans a chance to retake the Senate seat long held by Democrat Joe Biden before he was elected vice president.

O'Donnell, a conservative Christian activist, rode a surging tide of tea party activism to an upset victory over GOP moderate Michael Castle, Delaware's longtime congressman and former two-term governor. She faces Democratic county executive Chris Coons in November.

O'Donnell's comments about witchcraft were made during a 1999 taping of comedian Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show.


Russ Murphy, executive director of the 9-12 Delaware Patriots, a group that joined in the tea party effort to propel O'Donnell to Tuesday's primary victory, said the focus on her comments about witchcraft was just another attempt by pundits and political opponents to discredit her.




And this from FOX News

Christine O'Donnell: No Witchcraft Since High School -- If so, Rove Would be a Supporter


Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell responded to old clips that surfaced over the weekend where she said she had once "dabbled in witchcraft," clarifying at a GOP picnic in Delaware Sunday, "I was in high school, how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? But no, There's been no witchcraft since, if there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter."

The jab at the former President George W. Bush senior adviser came after Rove had cast doubt on her ability to carry the state for the GOP and said there are too many questions about her past.

The nominee showed up at the picnic in a key county that helped secure her GOP Tuesday primary upset, despite canceling previously scheduled appearances on "Fox News Sunday" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Her campaign backed out of the talk show interviews, saying she needed to get back to Delaware and had a scheduling conflict, including attending church and then the afternoon picnic.

She was greeted with a raucous applause at the annual Sussex County GOP picnic with chants of "yes we can" and "yes we will!"

Many in the crowd kept saying "get over it," to the media when she clarified her original witchcraft comments, which included her giving details about a date she had with a witch. The 1999 tape from "Politically Incorrect" first surfaced Friday when Bill Maher aired it on "Real Time with Bill Maher," saying he would keep airing clips until she appeared on his show.

Local Republicans seemed un-phased by the latest clip, which followed other television interviews that surfaced where O'Donnell talked about such issues as sex and condoms on MTV and to Phil Donahue.

Wild Thing's comment........


Karl Rove gets a smack down from O’Donnell:

“How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school?” she asked fellow Republicans at a GOP picnic in southern Delaware on Sunday.”
“There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now,” O’Donnell jokingly assured the crowd.”

So we are on a witch hunt for something a girl did in high school, almost 27 years ago? Good night! This is scraping off fossilized dirt.


I would never have anything to do with satanic anything. But as she said this was many years ago and it was not something she even stayed with. I understand she is now a Christian and didn’t melt when baptized. heh heh


In the Bible, Paul took great joy in watching Christians being stoned to death, then later went on to spread Christianity to the world. Christine’s dabbling in witchcraft as a teenager pales in comparison. Considering what she is now, a Christian conservative, I find her story of redemption inspiring.


I would imagine that most liberals got into far worse trouble at that age, and many of them never get out of it.


Let's see which is worse, that she dabbled in witchcraft in her youth or that she appeared with Bill Maher, I would say it is a toss up.

And what about all the Progressives, pure communists, others as well that not only have been dabbling in Marxism but are solid Marxist's in our government.

Then we also have Obama dabbling in cocaine.... or the AP article on Biden dabbling in plagiarism.... or the AP article on Hillary Clinton dabbling in talking with the dead. And Hillary, when a grown up, had seances in the WH.

CNN: Book says Hillary talks to dead (Sec State and NY Senator dabbles in seances)


First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi as a therapeutic release, according to a new book written by Bob Woodward, says a report in Sunday's edition of The Chicago Sun-Times...Woodward says the adviser was Jean Houston, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research, which he describes as a group that studies the psychic experience and altered and expanded consciousness.


Honestly I really think Tokyo Rove clearly has some kind of personal problem here.

Maybe if O’Donnell were into killing babies via abortion or “dabbled” in Marxism like her opponent Chris Coons, she’d be Rove’s ideal RINO.

Christine O'Donnell Nails Her First Major Speech Since Her Election

Christine O'Donnell Nails Her First Major Speech Since Her Election


The Atlantic


In the most anticipated speech at today's Values Voter Summit in Washington, Delaware's new GOP Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell ignited the Omni Shoreham ballroom with a tangible buzz. She strode onto the stage to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," with orange spotlights sweeping the room. (None of the other afternoon speakers got a light show.) The packed crowd gave her an enthusiastic standing ovation, continuing to applaud long after she took the podium.

She wore a black suit and pearls and seemed nervous at first, ticking off the perilous resume of Obama's Washington: health care reform, the stimulus, bailouts, terrorist trials in Manhattan.

"The conservative movement was told to curl up in a fetal position and just stay there for the next eight years, thank you very much," she said, then pausing as a big grin spread across her face. "Well, how things have changed."

The audience broke into applause, and from that point forward, O'Donnell seemed to relax. Her speech featured quotable bits about American patriots throughout history and overstepping liberals, and even featured a few self-deprecating cracks.

"The small elite don't get us," O'Donnell said. "They call us wacky. They call us wingnuts. We call us 'we the people.'" Addressing the GOP infighting her nomination has come to symbolize, she admitted, "We don't always agree. ... We don't always endorse the same candidates or speak off the same talking points. We're loud, we're ratty" -- when the crowd laughed, she corrected the word to "rowdy," fumbling a bit. "We're that too," she said. "We're passionate."
Further proving her penchant for fantasy epic fanhood, she told a story from C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. When one of the children asks whether Aslan, the lion who symbolizes Christ, is safe, another answers, "'Course he's not safe! But he's good."
"That's what's happening in America today with this grassroots groundswelll," O'Donnell said, "with this love affair with liberty. It isn't tame, but boy, it sure is good."

O'Donnell settled into a bit of a folksy rhythm not too dissimilar from Sarah Palin's speaking style, acknowledging the left's criticisms and giving as good as she got:

Will they atttack us? Yes. Will they smear our backgrounds and destroy our records? Undoubtedly. They will. There's nothing safe about it. But is it worth it? ... I say yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This is no moment for the faint of heart. Some have accused us of being just an aging crowd of Reagan staffers and home-schoolers. They're trying to marginalize us and put is in a box. ... They don't get it. We're not trying to take back our country. We ARE our country.

She also took Palin's cue with an oblique reference to death panels and a string of family metaphors to describe the relationship between government and the people.


"They'll buy your teenage daughter an abortion, but they won't let her buy a sugary soda in the school's vending machine," O'Donnell quipped to a chuckling crowd. "And what kind of mom or dad sticks the bill to a kid who'll have to pay it tomorrow?"

Acknowledging criticism about her unpaid (until recently) college debts and various other financial struggles, O'Donnell admitted to her share of economic challenges. "I never had the high-paying job or the company car," she said.


"It took me 10 years to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes." (This last John Kerry jab did not go unappreciated by the audience.)

Awesome speech!!! Wow! SHE'S GOOD!! I never heard her give a speech before other then when she won the other night. GOD BLESS HER and give her the victory and for America too.

Christine’s positions:

Pro-Constitution - Pro-National Defense - Pro-Life -
Pro-Family - Pro-Second Amendment - Pro-States Rights -
Pro-Border Security - Pro-Free Market - Pro-Freedom -
Anti-High Taxes - Anti-Big Government - Anti-ObamaCare.

Regarding the write up above in the article from The Atlantic...... the person who wrote this used to be at Slate and New Republic, and it's significant that O'Donnell impressed her.

Cornyn and The National Republican Senatorial Committee Change Their Mind About Backing O'Donnell




Sarah Palin: Insiders Like Rove Don't Think O'Donnell Will Win Because They Don't Want Her to Win




.


National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn just put out a statement embracing Christine O'Donnell -- a dramatic contrast with his group's curt response last night -- and writing her a big check.


.

Cornyn embraces O'Donnell

Politico


In a clear sign of the grassroots pressure on Republican leaders, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn just put out a statement embracing Christine O’Donnell — a dramatic contrast with his group’s curt response last night — and writing her a big check.

It’s a remarkable reversal, and a vivid illustration that the base is in charge and has the leadership running scared.

Cornyn:

Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.
I reached out to Christine this morning, and as I have conveyed to all of our nominees, I offered her my personal congratulations and let her know that she has our support. This support includes a check for $42,000 – the maximum allowable donation that we have provided to all of our nominees – which the NRSC will send to her campaign today.
We remain committed to holding Democrat nominee New Castle County Executive Chris Coons accountable this November, as we inform voters about his record of driving his county to the brink of bankruptcy and supporting his party’s reckless spending policies in Washington.
In the weeks ahead, we will decide where to best allocate additional financial resources among the large number of competitive races at stake this November. While it’s not in Republicans’ interest to advertise our spending strategy to our opponents, it’s worth noting that just yesterday, the NRSC’s first independent expenditure ad aired in support of Dr. Rand Paul’s campaign in Kentucky, where we firmly believe that he will win in November.
It remains to be seen whether national Democrats will provide a similar level of support for many of their nominees, including in key battleground states like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Arkansas, Illinois, and New Hampshire, among others. The Democrats’ indecision reflects the fact that Republicans are on offense in at least 12 Democrat-held states and we are leading in the polls in seven of those 12 states.
Finally, on the matter of the New Hampshire Senate race, while the results remain outstanding, we continue to monitor the Republican primary race, and we stand ready to fully support whichever candidate is chosen as the nominee.”



Wild Thing's comment......

Unbelievable, that little hissy fit didn’t last long.

I’m guessing the reaction in the blogoshpere along with emails and calls wasn’t exactly what they were expecting. Man these guys are so out of touch.

Over at Facebook the was really getting blasted about what they did and did not do.

What conservatives did was join the page and then tell them off. heh heh

Tuesday's Political Races




Tea party-backed Christine O'Donnell wins for Senate race in Delaware

Christine O'Donnell upended nine-term Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware's Republican Senate primary on Tuesday.
She thanked Sarah Palin during her victory speech. She had Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin also on her side,and several other conservatives.....(more of my notes further down ~ Wild Thing)


.

Good grief– FOX News reported, “The National Republican Senatorial Campaign ( NRSC ) announced tonight that they will not support conservative Christine O’Donnell in her campaign for US Senator in Delaware.”


.


The GOP in Delaware launched an outrageous roboball call against conservative challenger Christine O’Donnell. The call suggests that conservative O’Donnell is only out for the money.

CNN

The Delaware Republican party has launched a new robocall the same day voters head to the polls – attacking one of their own.

It features a woman identifying herself as former campaign manager for Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell’s and saying, “O’Donnell is no conservative” rather she “just wanted to make a buck.”

In the call, a woman introduces herself as Kristin Murray, saying she managed O’Donnell’s 2008 Senate bid and alleges: “I found out she was living on campaign donations – using them for rent and personal expenses, while leaving her workers unpaid and piling up thousands in debt. She wasn’t concerned about conservative causes. O’Donnell just wanted to make a buck.”

Murray is backing O’Donnell’s opponent, nine-term Rep. Mike Castle.

Rush Limbaugh was right…......" Republicans Are Blowing Their Best Chance to Beat Liberalism " ................“They would prefer to have somebody like Mike Castle elected, who is not even as good as McCain. What good is that going to do the conservative movement?”

Then Karl Rove and some others said they were for Castle and not for O'Donnell saying she would not win in November....... see video below:

Karl Rove on Sean Hannity, Discussing Christine O'Donnell and 2010 Election


Mike Castle is a complete RINO and he also voted with Dems for Bush impeachment resolution.

Rove at least acknowledges that Castle votes poorly. BUT OMG, Rove cranked up a one man smear campaign on live TV,... against a Republican who just won a primary. Rove was very pissed off. For some reason he thinks Castle would be an asset in the Senate...maybe like Collins and Snowe, Lindsey Dipshit and McCain.

Hey Karl, wake up and smell the Patriots! I realilze Rove is looking at the BIG picture of who can win against the democrat, but here is the thing. Isn't it better to at least try to put a conservative in office then keep these RINO"s in that end up voting with the democrts so much of the time. It is a risk I realize that in trying to win, but a risk worth taking imo. We are talking about Republicans after all .....conservatives vs. more rino's.

We're having a Revolution on November 2nd!

Palidino declared winner in NY GOP Gubernatorial Primary
PALADINO : 65.4% LAZIO : 34.6%
NEW YORK (AP) - Political novice and tea party ally Carl Paladino has beaten the Republican designee in the race for the party's nomination for New York governor. Paladino rode a wave of voter anger on his way to defeating former Congressman Rick Lazio.
Paladino, a millionaire Buffalo developer, will now take on the popular and well-financed Democratic attorney general, Andrew Cuomo, in November.
Paladino lost to Lazio at the state GOP convention but then petitioned his way to the primary by securing 30,000 Republican signatures statewide.
In an interview yesterday in NY Carl Paladino said Andrew Cuomo hadn’t been properly vetted by the press so he would do it..


.


Charles Rangel, with all the ethics charges against him, easily defeated his main challenger Adam Clayton Powell IV by a wide margin for 52% to 24% with over 70% precincts reporting.

Politico

Veteran Rep. Charlie Rangel defeated five primary rivals Tuesday night to lay claim to a history-making 21st term in his Harlem seat, even amid the specter of an upcoming House ethics trial and a snubbing by a national Democratic establishment that held him at arm’s length.

HARLEM, N.Y. (WPIX) — Even though they're required to be impartial, poll workers cheered on scandal-plagued Congressman Charlie Rangel as he arrived to cast his vote.


"The law prohibits electioneering and other improper activity within the polling place," is a requirement of the New York City Board of Elections. However, the people working for the board at Rangel's local polling place, P.S. 175, an elementary school on 134th Street in Harlem, not only applauded and cheered when the congressman entered the polling place, some even shouted, "He's going to stay!" and "He's ours!"


.

Regarding Rove going off like that. I don’t get it, she beats the “shoe-in” candidate and she’s unelectable? He has donen this before, not as strongly as this time. But I forget the name of the person that was running and he was a conservative and Rove chose the rino then too. Rove has sided with the Rino forces and has been completely tone deaf to the rise of the Tea Party movement.

November on the horizon. My concern is the fraud machine. Vote fraud is theft of government and should be a capital crime. To me, it is akin to treason.

And then there is also this:


Michelle Malkin has a very solid reaction to Karl Rove's disgraceful behavior on Fox News tonight. That is not why Fox should suspend him and investigate. According to this report, Rove was working behind the scenes on behalf of the Castle campaign to negotiate a deal that would have led to some Delaware Tea Party groups not supporting Christine O'Donnell, while giving Mike Castle a pass.


Especially given his comments on Fox News tonight, until this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst. In terms of the conservative movement, we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us.


via Michelle Malkin's blog , before Christine O'Donnell could even make an acceptance speech, the NRSC rushed out to say they will not support her. Video here via The Right Scoop.


One source I spoke with claims that RNC Michael Steele is purportedly going to go to Delaware to support Christine O'Donnell. As I said earlier on Twitter, the NRSC is dead on the web as far as I am concerned.


@NRSC Cornyn is one of the most incompetent NRSC heads ever. Now you won't support us? You are DEAD on the web ....


I would encourage all grassroots and conservative activists and bloggers to, not just ignore them, but proactively work to run-down whatever web based initiatives they choose to employ until this matter is resolved. John Cornyn should be held accountable and removed from his NRSC position.


He has demonstrated his incompetence several times over and now this. It is time for John Cornyn to go. If the NRSC had decided to not fund O'Donnell that is one thing. But to leak word of it tonight as they did, on the very night of her compelling victory over their preferred candidate, is way over the top. Cornyn needs to resign in disgrace, or be replaced if the GOP establishment wants any cooperation from online bloggers and activists going forward.

The Limbaugh Rule: Vote for Most Conservative Candidate in Primary


We still have people who think that professional Washington politicians are the way to fix this, and clearly it isn't. Some of these people are citing the Buckley Rule.

Now, I can honestly say that I know what the Buckley Rule is. I can honestly say I knew William F. Buckley and Buckley was a friend of mine.
The Buckley Rule is, ostensibly, that you vote for the most electable conservative option against a Democrat in November. You vote for the Republican, slash, conservative who can win. To me, this requires clairvoyance, as is being currently applied in the Mike Castle-Christine O'Donnell race in Delaware, to use an example.
The polling data is that Castle will win big and O'Donnell will lose big. If she gets the Republican nomination today, if she wins the election she'll lose big. The polls say she'll lose by 25 points; that Castle will win by 20 points.
But who knows this?
The election's a long time off. In a year like this, it seems to me that Americanism versus socialism can make up 25 points. Why the hell not try to? Is what I don't understand. Why not try to make up the 25 points?
Okay, let's just assume that it's correct. Let's assume that Christine O'Donnell is down in the polls, Democrat polls, by the way, by 25 points. Okay, fine. If she's the best option we have to stop what's going on once she gets to Washington, why not try to make up the 25 points?
We got socialism, communism, liberalism on the ropes. It's too risky? Let me tell you something. It's worth the risk. We're talking about saving the [blank] damn country. What do you mean, too risky?

Three Cheers For John Boehner As He Fires Back at White House Over Tax Hikes





Boehner Fires Back at White House Over Tax Hikes

Boehner statement released to Human Events

House Republican Leader John Boehner on Monday clarified his position on President Obama’s plan to raise tax rates on small businesses, releasing an extensive statement exclusively to Human Events saying he was unwilling to accept tax hikes for any American.

Boehner said he’s “got a news flash for the White House”—he’s not willing to accept tax increases for any American and that includes job-creating small business owners.

“It's disappointing and counterproductive that the President and his advisors have decided to spin my comments yesterday as a sign that I am willing to accept tax hikes on any American. Here's a news flash for the White House: I am not,” Boehner told Human Events. “As a former small businessman committed to freedom and smaller government, I strongly oppose the President's plan to raise taxes on small business in a struggling economy.”

Boehner also blasted the White House for a deliberate misinformation campaign.

“I am also unwilling to let the President of the United States and his staff use their positions to mislead the American people into believing Republicans oppose middle-class relief, and I believe my statements yesterday made that clear as well,” Boehner said.

In an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Boehner was accused by host Bob Schieffer of holding tax cuts hostage if the cuts don’t include small businesses.

“Aren’t you kind of holding the tax cuts for the lower-income people, the people making less than $250,000 hostage, so you can give those tax cuts to the upper brackets?” Schieffer asked.

Boehner told Schieffer that his position was to give relief to all Americans paying taxes.

“I want to do something for all Americans who pay taxes. And you have to understand, Bob, that there are large majorities of Democrats in the House and Senate. They haven’t reached out to us for the last 20 months. It’s not Republicans standing in the way here. There’s a growing chorus of Democrats, in both the House and the Senate, who believe that they should extend the current tax rates for all Americans,” Boehner said.

“When you start to look at who’s going to be taxed, about half of all small business income will be taxed under the President’s proposal. These are the very people that we expect to invest in the economy and to begin creating jobs. Why would we want to punish them?” Boehner responded.

When Schieffer asked if Boehner was willing to support limited tax cuts, Boehner responded, “If the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I’ll vote for them. But I’ve been making the point now for months that we need to extend all the current rates for all Americans. If we want to get our economy going again and we want to get jobs in America.”

Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS on Monday that he wants the full extension of the tax cuts to come up for a vote before Congress recesses again (to be determined by Democrat leadership) not later than the first week of October to campaign for the November 2 elections.

“Today the senior Republicans on the three committees responsible for such legislation are sending a letter to their Democratic counterparts asking that work on such legislation begin immediately,” Boehner said. “If Congress leaves town this fall having failed to pass such a plan, the White House and Congress will have failed the American people and broken the President's promise that he will focus on jobs.”
“Last week I, along with Whip [Eric] Cantor, Chairman [Mike] Pence and other House Republicans, set forth a two-point plan for bipartisan action on jobs that would cut non-security discretionary spending to 2008 levels for the next year and freeze all current tax rates to provide certainty for small businesses,” Boehner said.
“The only way forward that will help our economy get back to creating jobs is to stop all the coming tax hikes and cut spending immediately. The American people want all of the tax hikes stopped, as do many of our nation's top economists and what appears to be an emerging bipartisan majority of legislators in the House of Representatives,” Boehner said.

The shootout broadened to Twitter Monday when White House press secretary Robert Gibbs “tweeted” that Republicans were in “disarray” about tax cuts: “@presssec Disarray = Boehner vs Cantor, Boehner vs McConnell & McConnell vs McConnell - why hold middle class tax cuts hostage to these disagreements”

Boehner shot back from his Twitter account: “@GOPLeader Attn @presssec: Republicans are unified: to boost our economy, we need to stop ALL tax hikes and cut spending now”

The Democrat majority controls whether the extension of all tax cuts will come to the House floor for a vote. Insiders say the House has the votes the pass the entire tax cut package.

The question is will Democrat leaders allow the full tax-cut extension to come to the floor for a vote?

Also here is a GREAT write up by John Boehner from yesterday:

How to jump-start the economy

By: Rep. John A. Boehner

(Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) is the House minority leader.)

September 14, 2010

Americans have had enough of bailouts, government takeovers and stimulus spending sprees. All have combined to create massive uncertainty for businesses large and small, and our economy is showing the effects.

The country has lost confidence in Washington — and rightly so.

Our government is lurching from one crisis to the next, with no thought, context or concept of how it affects the bigger picture. The results aren’t there, and the leaders aren’t, either. Many Democrats return to Washington this week after spending the past month trying to run away from their party’s job-killing agenda. All the panicking and infighting only distract from the urgent challenges at hand.

We need a fresh start built on a clear message and a responsible blueprint to help get people working again.

That’s why House Republicans have proposed a two-point plan for immediate, bipartisan action to help jump-start our sputtering economy. This plan calls on both parties to work together and take the following actions this month:

Cut nonsecurity government spending for the next year to fiscal 2008 levels — before all of the bailouts, government takeovers and stimulus spending sprees began. Exceptions should be made for programs affecting seniors, veterans and national security. This legislation would provide the fiscal discipline economists say is needed to promote private-sector job creation.

Having failed to pass — or even propose — a budget, Washington Democrats will try to get away with continuing to spend at the current inflated levels. We cannot allow that to happen. Our proposal would save taxpayers nearly $100 billion in the first year alone.

Enact a two-year freeze on all current tax rates to stop job-killing tax hikes on families and small businesses. This legislation would help ease the uncertainty employers and entrepreneurs are facing so they can get back to creating jobs. Raising taxes will only hurt an already weakened job market. Peter Orszag, the president’s former budget director, agrees — which is why he endorsed a two-year freeze in a column published Sept. 6 by The New York Times.


This will help remove impediments to growth and give our economy a true chance to recover, instead of being left to wallow in the disproven notion that we can spend our way back to prosperity. By taking these common-sense steps together, we can show the American people we’re listening and we’re ready to do what needs to be done to get our economy moving again.

In addition to setting out a plan to boost the economy now, Republicans are finalizing a clear and positive governing agenda focused on addressing the American people’s priorities.

In May, Republicans launched the America Speaking Out project, led by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), to engage the American people in the creation of this new governing blueprint. Online and at town hall meetings, Americans are sharing solutions for building a more responsive government and a better country. All you have to do is log on to AmericaSpeakingOut.com, post an idea or a comment and vote on someone else’s.

This agenda won’t be a Washington-knows-best document handed down by Washington know-it-alls pushing the same-old, same-old. It is certainly not the product of political-season panicking among Washington insiders stuck on a ship of fools. We have been building this agenda from the ground up by listening to the American people.

For his part, President Barack Obama continues to demonstrate that he is not listening to the American people. He has ruled out any compromise on his proposal to raise taxes on families and small businesses. He wants Congress to move forward with a plan that, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, would raise taxes on half of small-business income in America. The president has also proposed more of the same failed stimulus spending that has led to fewer jobs and more debt.

The president wants Congress to spend September debating his plans for more spending and higher taxes. While this is a discussion Republicans welcome, it’s not one Washington should be having now.

Our time to act is running short. The House is scheduled to be in session for roughly 10 more days before adjournment. Instead of staggering from one failed policy and muddled message to the next, let’s listen to the American people and use this time to work together to focus on fixing our economy.

Let’s cut spending and stop the tax hike — now.

Dictator Obama and Now He Wants MORE "stimulus" Spending..... $50 BILLION



Obama to Call for $50 Billion Spending on Public Works


NY Times

Obama on Monday is to called for as much as $50 billion in government spending to start up a long-term public works plan emphasizing transportation projects – roads, rail and airport runways – over the next six years.

Mr. Obama layed out the plan, which is intended to promote the quick creation of construction jobs but would require Congressional approval, during a trip to Milwaukee on Monday afternoon, where he observed Labor Day by attending a union festival.

The spending is one part of a broader economic recovery package that Mr. Obama is to unveil during a speech in Cleveland on Wednesday.

With Democrats looking at a bleak election season, in large part because of high unemployment, the White House has been scrambling to find ways to jump-start the sagging economy.

While Mr. Obama’s plan would call for investment over six years, the White House says it would be front-loaded with an initial investment of $50 billion in taxpayer money, to help create jobs in the shorter term. The administration says it would work with Congress to find ways to pay for the plan, so that it would not add to the nation’s rising deficit. One possibility would be to cut existing subsidies for oil and gas exploration and production.


White House officials said Mr. Obama wanted to rebuild 15,000 miles of roads, construct and maintain 4,000 miles of railway – enough track to span the continent — and rehabilitate or reconstruct 150 miles of airport runways while putting in place a system that would reduce travel time and airport delays.

The president will also call for what the White House is describing as an “infrastructure bank” that would focus on paying for national and regional transportation projects.




Charles Krauthammer responded to Obama’s latest announcement of a six year stimulus plan


“Even Lenin had the modesty to stop at five.”

Charles Krauthammer:

“This is another example of this administration acting for the appearance of activity. It doesn’t have a clue what to do. It just threw a half a trillion dollars at the first stimulus. As we saw earlier in the show, almost 60% of Americans believe it did absolutely nothing. And they have no ideas. The economy is still in a ditch so they come up with a mini-stimulus… I like the way the president announces we hear this is going to be a six-year plan. Even Lenin had the modesty to stop at five.“


.


Eric Cantor blasted Barack Obama’s latest play from his failed Keynesian playbook


The Politico

House GOP Whip Eric Cantor is coming out against Obama’s $50 billion infrastructure plan by labeling it more “stimulus” spending.

“Today the president will use the Labor Day holiday as the launching pad for yet another government stimulus effort, another play called from the same failed Keynesian playbook,” Cantor said in a statement released before Obama announced his plan in Milwaukee. “More government stimulus does nothing to end this cloud of uncertainty.”

The White House has pushed back against the notion that the proposal to rebuild roads, rails and runways amounts to a second stimulus plan. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said last week that a stimulus plan wasn’t being considered, and on Friday, Obama called his forthcoming plan a “broader package.”

Cantor said Obama’s plan is the White House’s “latest” stimulus effort.

"We need to cut spending immediately and end the environment of uncertainty that continues to impede real private-sector job creation and growth," Cantor said.

Wild Thing's comment.......


Once again we need to call our Congressman and Senators and tell them NO MORE STIMULUS!!!

So, let me get this straight...he is going to kill all of the incentives to drill for oil and gas in this country, and then he is going to slap a carbon tax on us, effectively killing the oil and gas industry.

Double Standard Democrats Want To Ban Conservatives "Young Gun" Book Promotion




Remember the other day I posted this promotional video above about the “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders”


Well, now the lefties don't like it so the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission against the promotion of the “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders” book by Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia, Kevin McCarthy of California and Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. In addition to the book they have a promotion tour and released a video.


The DCCC’s argument is that promoting the book violates election law.


Which prompted this statement:

“After a year of failing to get Americans back to work, with a president embarrassingly off message, and with candidates hemorrhaging in the polls, it’s no wonder the DCCC is hyperventilating,” said Brad Dayspring, Eric Cantor’s spokesman.



Democrats argue it is fine to ban book promotion

The “Young Guns” have a book. They also have a promotion tour and a video. Now, the Democrats could engage in a battle of ideas. But that’s not what they do. (are you surprised?)

Instead the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee files a complaint with the Federal Election Commission that promoting the book violates election law. Really. By their interpretation, a book publisher cannot promote a book if it is political.

What is the mechanism? The publisher posts a video by the authors about their book that contains a link to a website that takes political contributions. It is after all, a political manifesto.

Restating, Democrats use the power of the federal government to attempt to prohibit the political speech and promotion of speech by their political enemies. That’s the kind of thing that lead to the American Revolution. Tea Parties make perfect sense in this context




.

Wild Thing's comment.......


So I have a question for the democrats.. The democrats tax all of us to give money to the Unions and the Unions use that money to donate to THEIR canidates that are all democrats. We found this out since Obama became president and we learned where money from the stimuls that Obama did had gone to and......also how the Unions had asked for more money and Obama saw fit to try and make that happen once again as well. All from OUR Tax dollars from us even if we are not democrats.

So why the hell is it OK for the democrats to do that and then they turn around and say what they have about the book and video by the “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders”.

U.S. Capitol Tour with David Barton of WallBuilders







A Spiritual Heritage Tour of the U.S. Capitol with a man named David Barton.

Pastors go on a tour of the United States Capitol with history expert David Barton

WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built – a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that "the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."

Mark Steyn on Names for Hurricanes






Mark Steyn on Sheila Jackson Lee's Concern About "Racist Nomenclature" for Hurricanes


Here is the incomparable Mark Steyn at his hilarious best talking about names for Hurricanes! He specifically comments on Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s objection about the “racist nomenclature” given to Hurricanes – no predominantly African-American names being given to Hurricanes. She had made comments about this a couple of years ago and because of there being a few hurricanes out there right now, it became news again. So Mark Steyn takes her concern and runs with it!



From the past that Mark Steyn was referring to:

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, feels that the current names are too "lily white," and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas

"All racial groups should be represented," Lee said, according to the Hill. She hoped federal weather officials "would try to be inclusive of African-American names."

A sampling of popular names that could be used include Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn, according to the paper.


Wild Thing's comment......

Mark Steyn is so good. When Rush is off for a day or a few days, I am always glad when his choice to be there is Mark Steyn.

Young Guns Book: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders



GOP Ad: A New Generation of Conservatives, Young Guns

From Gopyoungguns, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan...Pay close attention to the announcer..

About Young Guns

America is standing at a critical crossroads, and Young Guns candidates give America the best opportunity to move our country in the right direction.

Founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Congressmen Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns Program began as a Member driven organization of House Republicans dedicated to identifying, recruiting, and mobilizing a new generation of conservative leaders.

During the last election, through a partnership of Republican volunteers, donors and 59 members of the House of Representatives, five House GOP challengers won against Incumbent Democrats in 2008. Four of those were Young Guns, and we proudly welcome them to Congress - Tom Rooney (FL-16), Bill Cassidy (LA-06), Lynn Jenkins (KS-02), and Pete Olson (TX-22).

NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) adopted the Young Guns program as the candidate recruitment and training program for House Republicans and it is designed to assist Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives build a foundation for victory.

As part of this program, Republican candidates throughout the United States will work hard for victory next November and we will post updates on their races, their achievements and their status as a Young Gun.

The Young Guns is not just a political program, but an ongoing movement to go on offense and strengthen the GOP, welcoming your participation with and support for strong Republican candidates nationwide. Sign up for the Young Guns team today and you will be on the front lines of a historic election; we'll keep you informed as news breaks and look to you for strategic advice on how to conduct this campaign.

Black Conservatives Blast Al Sharpton Protesters in DC 8/28





Black conservatives confront Al Sharpton supporters who are carrying signs accusing the Tea Party of racism. One of the conservatives pointed out that it is the liberals who are supporting the abortions of millions of black babies.


The Runaway Slave movie crews were at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor Rally" and at Al Sharpton's "Reclaiming the Dream March" on Aug 28th. As the two ideologies clashed in DC, our movie crews were on the scene. In this raw footage, shot near the future MLK memorial site, Black Conservatives leaving the "Restoring Honor" rally encounter Sharpton's protestors who were holding signs claiming "Tea Party Racism." This is just one of debates that we captured after the rally had ended.

You can partner with us as we expose the ravages of progressivism and run harder from the slavery of tyranny!

While Military Hater Obama Tries Taking Credit For Iraq, the House GOP Remind All It is The TROOPS That Deserve The Credit






A new video out from the House GOP including Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio) and Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) today reminds viewers of exactly where the Democrat leadership stood on the Iraq surge.

The video includes footage of Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid, and is a stark reminder of their remarks of “failure” aimed at our troops in harm’s way.


"While President Obama and Vice President Biden continue to seek credit for "ending the combat mission" in Iraq, this video praises the contributions of our troops for helping bring greater stability and security there -- significant progress that was only made possible through a surge strategy most Democrats like the President and Vice President opposed. As the drawdown of troops in Iraq continues, House Republicans are grateful to all the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for the courage and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, to advance freedom abroad and strengthen our security here at home."


Obama is set to deliver a speech on Iraq and it is widely believed that Obama will try to take credit for the success of the surge in Iraq that he so vehemently opposed while in the Senate.

Our volunteer forces who sacrificed so much over the past seven-plus years deserve every bit of the credit. God bless our troops and the United States of America.


Wild Thing's comment.......

Obama will never do or say the right thing. General Ray Odierno, who, with General David Petraeus, turned the war in Iraq around while Obama and his ilk were fighting against our troops the whole time.

Obama should hang his butt ugly head in shame not throw his chin in the air as he does and assume the role of any kind of leadership.

Restoring Honor Rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. 8-28





Glenn Beck delivering opening remarks at his “Restoring Honor” Rally held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Beck declared in his remarks that, “Today, America begins to turn back to God.” The rally emphasized the founding principles that have made America great, and represented a call to return to – or to “restore” those principles as our guiding light.

Beck later said (not in this clip) that even the media was estimating the size of the crowd at between 300,000 and 500,000 people. As you can see in this clip, the crowd extended from the Lincoln Memorial, down both sides the entire length of the reflecting pool, and beyond, toward the Washington Monument.









The rally being opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.


.



Al Sharpton and a host of speakers stood in front of a group of 3,000 people and declared that Reverend King's dream was their property alone.

Sharpton's rally of racists had almost 3,000 attending.


"We will not stand silent as some seek to bamboozle Dr. King's dream," said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League. "We reclaim the dream of Dr. King for the 21st century. We reclaim this dream because we are here to say we must be one nation. We stand on the shoulders of our fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers."

Jaime Contreras, president of SEIU-32BJ, said those gathered at the Mall with Beck "represent angry white people and hate-mongering." He added: "We will not let them stand in the way of the change we voted for!"

Avis Jones DeWeever, executive director of the National Council of Negro Women, drew thunderous roars when she challenged those gathered to stand up for their place. "Don't let anyone tell you that they have the right to take their country back," she said. "It's our country, too. We will reclaim the dream. It was ours from the beginning."
Sharpton, the man who incited two anti-Semitic riots that killed a total of nine people, also pushed a message of divisiveness.

"They may have the mall, but we have the message. They may have the platform, but we have the dream." Sharpton and other activists gathered to commemorate the 47th anniversary of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, then joined hands and walked 3 miles to the site of King's future memorial. "This is our day and we ain't giving it away," said Sharpton.



Across town at the Lincoln Memorial, the message was much different , the message of restoring Honor to America.


Martin Luther King's niece Dr. Alveda King, addressed the crowd of 3-500,000 with a plea for unity and prayer "in the public squares of America and in our schools." She called for national unity by echoing her uncle's declaring "I have a dream."

"I have a dream that America will pray and God will forgive us our sins and revive us our land," King said. "On that day, we will all be able to lift every voice and sing of the love and honor that God desires of all his children."


Sarah Palin's message was also one of unity:

"We must not fundamentally transform America, as some would want," Palin said. "We must restore America and restore her honor."
"Here today, at the crossroads of our history, may this day be the change point," Palin said. "Look around you. You're not alone. You are Americans! You have the same steel spine and the moral courage of Washington and Lincoln and Martin Luther King. It is in you. It will sustain you as it sustained them."


There were TWO rallies in Washington DC, one emphasized that the legacy of Martin Luther King was theirs and theirs alone. The other called for people to join together and find their way to God.


.

Awesome! God bless America! God bless these 500,000+ patriots that attended this rally.

Thousands Gather for Glenn Beck Rally in DC (A Thousand Camping Out Overnight at Lincoln Memorial)

FOX News

Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.

Beck has consistently held the Restoring Honor event will be non-political in nature. Speeches will honor American heroes, said Beck, who asked his supporters to not bring signs or wear partisan t-shirts.

Why have people come from many different states? John Seeland of Stuart, Florida, had an answer:

"I would say we're going a little bit too much toward Socialism in the country. Too much kind of groupthink and too much away from individual freedom and individual actions and individual responsibility."

Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.


A reader emails that if you search Google MAPS today, on the eve of Glenn Beck’s rally, a search for Lincoln Memorial turns up, instead, the wrong address. And not just any wrong address either; it takes you to the FDR Memorial. Curious.
A quick look at Google Trends shows that Lincoln Memorial is, at the time of this posting, the fourth most popular search term. (Glenn Beck Rally comes in 7th, and “Restoring Honor Rally” is the top hot topic.

Tony LaRussa and Albert Pujols Tony LaRussa and Albert Pujols are going to be there and the liberal media is having a fit about it.

Albert Pujols is the 9 Time All Star First Baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tony LaRussa is his Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals for the last 14 years, he’s the only manager other than Sparky Anderson (Cincinnati Reds & Detroit Tigers) to win World Series Championships in both leagues (Oakland A’s) - 1989 (St. Louis Cardinals - 2006.

La Russa, Pujols will appear at Washington rally


The Post-Dispatch

Cardinals first baseman and three-time NL Most Valuable Player Albert Pujols will be among several honorees at a highly publicized and potentially politically charged Saturday morning rally expected to draw more than 20,000 to The Mall.
Organized by Fox News talk show host Glenn Beck and featuring former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the “Restoring Honor” rally is scheduled to take place at the base of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
Beck, who met Pujols at Busch Stadium before a June appearance at Chaifetz Arena, is promoting the event as an apolitical celebration of the First Amendment and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, scheduled to introduce Pujols, insisted Thursday that he and Pujols are attending only after receiving assurances that the event is not a thinly disguised political rally.




.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is unprecedented in recent history of rallies on the Mall in D.C. to have a thousand people camping out at the rally site the night before. Many more will be arriving throughout the night last night because Beck is starting the rally at 10 a.m. EDT.

God Bless all the American Patriots gathering this weekend!

Minority Leader Boehner: Fire Obama's Economic Team, Extend Tax Cuts





GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner this morning calling for President Obama to “ask for and accept the resignations” of his Economic Team, “starting with Treasury Secretary Geithner, and Larry Summers, the head of the National Economic Council.”

Minority leader Boehner: Fire Obama's economic team, extend tax cuts

The Washington Post

CLEVELAND

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) called Tuesday for the mass firing of the Obama administration's economic team, including Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and White House adviser Larry Summers, arguing that November's midterm elections are shaping up as a referendum on sustained unemployment across the nation and saying the "writing is on the wall."

Boehner said President Obama's team lacks "real-world, hands-on experience" in creating jobs that are needed for a full economic recovery. The Republican lawmaker cited reports that some senior aides complained of "exhaustion," including the recently departed budget chief Peter Orszag.
"President Obama should ask for - and accept - the resignations of the remaining members of his economic team, starting with Secretary Geithner and Larry Summers, the head of the National Economic Council," Boehner said in the morning speech to business leaders at the City Club of Cleveland. The mass dismissal, he added, would be "no substitute for a referendum on the president's job-killing agenda. That question will be put before the American people in due time. But we do not have the luxury of waiting months for the president to pick scapegoats for his failing 'stimulus' policies."

Vice President Biden lashed back at Boehner, called his "so-called" economic plan nothing but a list of what Republicans are against and devoid of innovative new ideas that can help move the country forward.

In a sarcastic tone, Biden thanked Boehner for the suggestion that the president fire his top economic advisers.

"Very constructive advice and we thank the leader for that," Biden said.

With President Obama on vacation Martha's Vineyard, the White House largely left it to Biden to respond to the speech. He accused Boehner and the GOP of wanting to take the country back to failed policies of the past.

"Mr. Boehner is nostalgic for those good old days, but Americans are not...We've seen this movie before Mr. Boehner," Biden said. "We've seen it before. And we know how it ends."

"The American people are asking, 'where are the jobs?' and all the president's economic team has to offer are promises of 'green shoots' that never seem to grow," Boehner said. "The worse things get, the more they circle the wagons and defend the indefensible." After the speech, he held a question-and-answer session with business leaders in this economically distressed Rust Belt city.

Boehner told the City Club officials that the key to sparking job growth is extending the tax cuts implemented by then-President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003. Republicans want to extend the tax cuts across the board.

Boehner said that extending the tax cuts for all income brackets would help small business owners, who have been the toughest hit since the financial collapse of 2008. "Raising taxes on families and small businesses during a recession is a recipe for disaster - both for our economy and for the deficit. Period. End of story," he said. "That's why President Obama should work with Republicans to stop all of these job-killing tax hikes."


.


Boehner's not alone in calling for Geithner to go

The Washington Post

Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fl.)........Timothy Geithner should either resign or be fired for the good of the country, and President Obama should nominate a new Treasury Secretary with the experience and leadership skills America deserves."
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)............As one of the chief architects of the AIG bailout, Secretary Geithner was in a position to do what any lender of the last resort would do -- negotiate concessions from AIG. Secretary Geithner either didn't know about the bonuses, and was grossly negligent, or he did know and failed to bring this to the President's attention. Either way, the end result has been a significant waste of taxpayer dollars and he should take immediate responsibility and resign."


Mike Pence on Fox News: "I'm Joining Republican Leader John Boehner in Calling For Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Larry Summers To Step Down"



Pence: "The American people don't want the President to have around him advisers that are saying the recovery has arrived...The President ought to ask for and accept the resignation of the Secretary of the Treasury and Larry Summers and he ought to bring a new team around him that's in touch with the American people that recognizes that these economic stimulus policies have failed"




.

Wild Thing's comment........

Good for Boehner!

Imam obama of course will not do this, but I am thrilled Boehner has done this and is saying these things. At least someone is finally calling him out....because when obama does not fire these people and the economy gets worse, at least it is on record that Republicans called for the removal of the economic team. And I wish obama would fire himself while he is at it.

Obama is not incompetant at all- this is EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. Send the economy crashing so he can implement socialism and 100% government takeover.

Primary Highlights and Not So Highlights




Lt. Col. Allen West Wins Primary!!!

I'm pleased to report that American hero Lt. Colonel Allen West has secured a primary victory in Florida 22 and will face off against über-leftard Obama enabler Ron Klein.

Statement by LTC(R) Republican Congressional Candidate
(FL- District 22) Allen West on Tonight’s Primary Victory

(Deerfield Beach, FL)

“This evening, after nearly 2 years of hard work, our campaign to restore honor, integrity and character to Washington reached an important milestone. With a vast majority of the precincts having reported their results, we will have defeated David Brady by a margin of nearly 4 to 1. With GOP turnout significantly higher than democratic turnout throughout District 22, our victory tonight is proof that South Floridians are sick and tired of the status-quo in Washington, and are looking for leaders instead of politicians.
Tonight, the tone has been set. Over the next 2 months, we will continue to draw a contrast between Ron Klein’s Ultra-Liberal policies that have bankrupted our district, our state and our Country, versus my principled leadership. I am confident that – 70 days from tonight – the good people of Florida’s 22nd Congressional District will be firing Pelosi’s favorite Florida son, Ron Klein.”


.

John McCain Wins Arizona Senate Primary Over J.D. Hayworth ~ idots in AZ. I guess they like how McCain kissed obama's glutes during the presidential campaign and how McCain was sooo vile to the POW families, and how McCain is all for amnesty.

Hang your heads in shame, Arizona! McCain spent $21 million to Hayworth’s $3 million. He had the endorsements of Palin and Brewer plus the entire Rep AZ congressional delegation. McCain also changed his position on all the key issues. He is a liar and a fraud. And that will become self-evident once he is re-elected. Sad day for America and AZ.


.



Rick Scott Wins Over Bill McCollum in Republican Primary for Governor of Florida


.





Marco Rubio Wins Florida Primary

Not only won - it was a massacre - 84% of the vote. Great job against the wimpy Obama hugger, Charlie Crist!!

“We as a nation and a people are on the precipice of crossing a line from which we may not return,” Mr. Rubio said in his victory speech.
“Welcome to the night many said would never come,” Mr. Rubio said. “Earlier in this campaign, the only people who thought I could win all lived in my home, and four of them were under the age of 10.”




Rubio spoke about how our country is here because the people of past generations confronted the challenges head on and ensured this country would be safeguarded for their children. Talking about the exceptionalism of America. How inspiring he is and the speech was excellent.

Wonderful rant, I have never heard of this radio host before. He might be a local one in Houston. But he is good and what he said is so true. We cannot ease up at all and have to keep telling people to wake up in all the ways we can.. This might be our last chance to get our country back on track.

National Republican Senatorial Committee, that sets the record straight on who is actually “extreme” – Republicans or Obama and his agenda.

I hope they run this as a tv ad so the sheep will see it and maybe wake the hell up.

It's good to see Obama's mosque support already noted in a Republican ad. Next up: Pelosi's "Investigate Mosque opponents!" High quality ammunition.

"Those Voices Don't Speak for the Rest of Us" ~ President Ronald Reagan






The ad contrasts the wisdom of Ronald Reagan versus the radicalism of today’s Obama-Pelosi regime.

The Republican Study Committee chaired by Rep. Tom Price releases a “greatest hits” compilation video of Democrats over the last eighteen months that speak to their attitude and approach to constitutional government. We’ve seen the moments before in earlier clips, but the RSC puts these together with warnings from Ronald Reagan about the danger to liberty from runaway government and liberal policies. If these seemed trenchant decades ago, they’re equally relevant now.


Excerpts from Ronald Reagan's Speech on October 27, 1964. It is called "A Time for Choosing". To read the script of the entire speech click here http://www.nationalcenter.org/ReaganChoosing1964.html


To hear the entire speech Click Here:

Approx. 29 minutes long and well worth the listen!





Wild Thing's comment........

OMG Reagan is/ was soooo good! We knew greatness having him for President. And now we know evil as we are stuck with Obama in office.


We have a long dangerous road ahead but we will prevail because we are right in our cause to save America. The Progressives are present at all levels of government and educational system. WE must rid them All, in time, and never let them back into authority at any level in our institutions.

Glenn Beck Forbidden from Prayer at Kennedy Center


First Amendment Watch: Beck Forbidden from Prayer at Kennedy Center

Big Government




Technically speaking, the Kennedy Center is not Congress, but the building — a monument to the first Roman Catholic president — is federally supported.

Luckily, this story has a happy ending. But how many ordinary Americans have a microphone or a TV show with which to make bureaucratic enormities like this public?

Behold the wages, not of sin, but of the evil known as “political correctness” –


.





.

Wild Thing's comment........

Beck did what all of the rest of us should do, stand up and shout "no way". Sounded like the attorney took the route all attorneys recommend these days when confronted with any threat, "compromise". He did the right thing since there were no rules forbidding prayer and told them to stuff it.

Glenn Beck did not come THIS far, overcoming his own personal demons and vices, to have some Bureaucratic Idiots at Kennedy Center try to squelch his freedom of speech and religious rights!

How hilarious that those morons even THOUGHT they could do so!

You go, Glenn! AMERICA IS BEHIND YOU, 1000%!


.

Also see below...................... This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland .

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would NOT pray during the commencements, not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened.

All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED !!!!

The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said,

'GOD BLESS YOU'

And he walked off the stage...

The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval.

Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama Is "Our First Anti-American President" ~ Rush is Correct!





Video is Rush Limbaugh yesterday, where he absolutely took President Obama and the Democrats apart on the Ground Zero Mosque.

Limbaugh said can you imagine the reaction of the Left if someone was trying to build a “Walmart” two blocks from Ground Zero! He pointed out that there are no Walmarts in the area, while there are dozens of mosques.
Rush also said Obama is actually the “first anti-American President” – rather than the first “post-American President.” Limbaugh believes there are now many in Obama’s Administration who believe “he is a disaster,” and will now start “running for the tall grass.” As an example, he believes it will be hard for Obama to find a quality person to replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who indicated he would retire sometime next year – “He might have to go so far as to get Cindy Sheehan to take the gig.”


.


This is a video of Obama from the past, back in 2007.


.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Rush is right, Obama hates America. Why on earth anyone would want to be President when they hate the country they would serve. In Obama's case, he has no intention of serving as President, his intention is to dictate, RULE, and destroy our country on all levels.

Republican vs. Democrat Women



.

At a book signing, actress Ann-Margret autographed a tattered photo presented to her by an ex-G.I. and thanked him for serving his country.

Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black & white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margaret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.
A few years ago, Ann Margaret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her to sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore at 12 o'clock for the 7:30 signing. When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore, circled the parking lot, and disappeared behind a parking garage.
Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted. Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know how much those shows meant to lonely GI's so far from home.
Ann Margaret came out looking as beautiful as ever and, as 2nd in line, it was soon Richard's turn. He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees that she would not sign it. Richard said, "I understand. I just wanted her to see it".
She took one look at the photo, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for "my gentlemen". With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him.
She then made quite a to do about the bravery of the young men she met over the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them. There weren't too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear. She then posed for pictures and acted as if he was the only one there.
Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he'd like to talk about it, my big strong husband broke down in tears. "That's the first time anyone ever thanked me for my time in the Army", he said.
Richard, like many others, came home to people who spit on him and shouted ugly things at him. That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have been a Vet.
I'll never forget Ann Margaret for her graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband. I now make it a point to say Thank You to every person I come across who served in our Armed Forces.
Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for all those who have served their country.
If you'd like to pass on this story, feel free to do so. Perhaps it will help others to become aware of how important it is to acknowledge the contribution our service people make.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Ilario Pantano ~ Republican for Congress - NC-7




Change of Service

NRO

‘I once scraped paint off the floor of this ship,” says Ilario Pantano. He stands inside a cavernous hangar within the USS Intrepid, the decommissioned aircraft carrier that sits in the Hudson River as a floating museum. The floor and walls that he knows so well are covered in a dull industrial gray. But on June 21, Pantano also finds himself surrounded by the red, white, and blue décor of a campaign fundraiser sponsored by Iraq Veterans for Congress, a political-action committee. Pantano, a Republican who fought in Fallujah, is a beneficiary: He’s running for the House of Representatives in North Carolina’s 7th district.

Today, Pantano is one of the GOP’s great hopes for wresting control of the House away from the Democrats. North Carolina’s 7th district, which includes Wilmington and its environs, prefers Republican presidential candidates.


In 2004, Pantano was fighting insurgents in Iraq. Near the town of Mahmudiyah, he shot two men. One of the soldiers in the platoon, possibly disgruntled because Pantano had demoted him, accused his superior officer of murder. The case drew national attention, and Pantano suffered through an agonizing year of accusation and investigation. But all of the charges against him eventually were dropped.

Pantano received his second honorable discharge from the Marines and wrote Warlord, a book about his experiences. Last year, living in North Carolina — his family had settled there because of Camp Lejeune — Pantano became upset when Attorney General Eric Holder appointed a special prosecutor to investigate CIA operatives.

“That was the tipping point for me,” he says. He started to think seriously about running for Congress. On May 4, he became the 7th district’s GOP nominee.





.

If North Carolina’s Pantano wins in November, he will owe his victory in large measure to his identity as a Marine. Pantano’s story is simply remarkable. After attending an expensive New York prep school on scholarship, he astonished his teachers and classmates by deciding to enlist in the Marines rather than go to college. He went to sniper school and took part in the first Gulf War. At the end of his four years in 1993, he enrolled at New York University. After graduation, Pantano took a job at Goldman Sachs and later started his own consulting business. His future looked bright. On the morning of 9/11, however, Pantano was on the streets of Manhattan when the terrorists struck. “I saw the Towers burn,” he says. “I knew we were at war.” Hours later, he went to a barbershop and ordered a “high and tight” — i.e., a military buzz cut. Then, at the age of 30, he rejoined the Marines. This time he went to officer school and received a commission as a second lieutenant.




Fellow American,

It's time to kick the liberals out of Washington and get America back on track.

My name is Ilario Pantano, and I'm a constitutional conservative, combat veteran of 2 wars, and small businessman. I'm running for Congress because I will not sit by idly while the far left destroy the country I was willing to die for.

When you hear my name, you probably have no idea who I am, but my story may be a familiar one. Like so many other patriotic Americans, on September 12, 2001, I went to reenlist with the U.S. Marine Corps, graduated from Officer Candidate School and deployed to Iraq for my second tour of duty.

You remember the chaos and violence of the Iraq war in 2004 when American bodies were strung up from a bridge in Fallujah. Well, I was leading a combat operation in the area when I had to kill two terrorists that tried to attack me. I was praised by my commanders and never second guessed my actions. I continued to lead my platoon and never lost a man. But three months later I learned that a man in my platoon whom I had demoted falsely reported the incident. I was accused of premeditated murder and faced a death sentence if found guilty.

After a thorough investigation the truth prevailed and I was cleared of all charges. The truth has not mattered to many on the left though. Liberal blogs have continually attacked my constitutional conservative campaign and me. They have even called me a "Jack Bauer Republican."

I left the Marine Corps soon after returning home because of death threats my family received from jihadists because of my service. But I am far from finished serving my country, and that's why I'm asking for your support today. The Congressional seat I'm challenging is held by a 7-term incumbent who votes with Nancy Pelosi 90% of the time. Back in January, it was considered "Safe Democratic" but now this seat is competitive.


As a Marine Corp officer, I never took men into battle without a winning strategy, and this race is no different. I know I can win, and I have every intention of doing so. But I have no delusions that this fight will be easy, and that's why I'm turning to grassroots conservatives like you.

I've been attacked by liberals and left-wing blogs from across the United States but I have also had the support of conservative bloggers at RedState.com, National Review, Wizbang Blog and the military bloggers at Blackfive. My campaign needs the resources to fight back and make sure every voter in the district knows who I am, what I stand for and the truth about my opponent's record.

Change happens from the bottom up, so it's time for you and me to take action and restore our conservative values by electing a new set of leaders with fresh ideas about how to return this country to prosperity and our conservative values.


Semper Fi,

Excellent Rick Perry Ad About Democrat Opponent Bill White







This is a video put out by GOP Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign which hammers his Democrat opponent – Bill White – for not showing up to greet his own President Obama today in Texas. The ad says Bill White can “run” but he can’t “hide” from his support of Barack Obama’s liberal policies.

The power of the ad is that it is composed of text superimposed on the fawning and mindless pro-Obama “Yes We Can” video from the 2008 campaign.

National GOP Leaders should take note of this video. There is much that could be done with the “Yes We Can” video in running against Obama in 2012.



.




Video of Rick Perry greeting Obama at the airport yesterday. Obama and Perry shook hands for several seconds. Obama used his free left hand to give Perry two friendly slaps on the right arm.

When they released their handshake, Perry attempted to hand Obama a white envelope containing his letter on border security. Obama did not respond when Perry first held it forward.

Governor Perry reaches into his coat pocket and grabs a letter, he then hands it to Valerie Jarrett who is behind President Obama.

Obama, Speaking to Austin Democrats, Takes a Swipe at Former President Bush


Dallas Morning News

Obama: "They know that we [Democrats] pulled the country out of the problems we were in, but they figure, 'He’s been in office long enough. ... Maybe they’ll forget"

AUSTIN -- Speaking at a Democratic fund-raiser this afternoon, President Barack Obama slapped at two well-known Texas Republicans without mentioning either by name: George W. Bush, Obama's predecessor in the White House, and Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, who could chair the House energy committee if Republicans regain control of the House.

Obama addressed more than 200 supporters crowded into a ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel. He said tauntingly that only idea Republicans have to fix the economy is to extend Bush-era tax cuts.

“They know they messed up," he said. "And they know that we [Democrats] pulled the country out of the problems we were in. But they figure, 'He’s been in office long enough. ... Maybe they’ll forget that actually, this was the result of our [Republican] economic policies.' ”

He added: “We have spent the last 20 months governing. They have spent the last 20 months politicking. We can politick for three months. They’ve forgotten I can politick pretty good.”


.

Wild Thing's comment........

Hugo Chavez can hand him a book on the evils of the United States and he won’t accept a personally delivered letter from the governor of Texas about border security.

Rick Perry did everything he could to get the POS Obama to at least acknowledge him, if he wouldn't sit and talk, at least take a letter. sheesh Obama is so arrogant, so rude, so horrible!!!!! He really thinks he is the KING. GRRRRR

Awesome Sen. Jim DeMint Hits Pelosi, Obama for Ignoring the U.S. Constitution





Kagan was confirmed later by a 63-37 vote.

Sen. Jim DeMint during a Senate Floor speech against the nomination of Elena Kagan, where he he hammered Nancy Pelosi for her willful disregard of the her oath of office to the U.S. Constitution. DeMint cited Pelosi’s answer when asked where the U.S. Constitution gives her the right to mandate that people purchase Health Insurance. She responded, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

DeMint said Pelosi does not see the Constitution as the document that limits what Government can do to the people. Instead, she and Obama have created a “Yes We Can Congress” that does what it pleases, without any regard to what the Constitution says.

The U.S. Senate has confirmed Elena Kagan to become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Kagan was confirmed in a vote this afternoon by a 63-37 margin. Only one Democrat voted against Kagan – Ben Nelson, while five Republicans joined the Democrats in confirming Kagan. She will be sworn in on Saturday.

Kagan will undoubtedly be one of the most radically leftist justices to ever sit on the High Court.




Wild Thing's comment.........

Jim DeMint is such a good man. I can think of about a dozen or so that have really stood out these last several years and if we did not have them I hate to think of how it might even be worse for our side, for America's side. To think of having more rino's then we do already I can't even imagine how horrible that would be. Like not even having anyone to stand up for our country.

FL-22 GOP Candidate ~ Lt. Col. Allen West. Col. West America's Best!




This is an Ad for FL-22 GOP Candidate, Lt. Col. Allen West


"If it's about the lives of my men and their safety, I'd go through Hell with a gasoline can . . . There is not a person in this room I would not sacrifice my life for." -Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Allen B. West




Wild Thing's comment..........

This is an outstanding web ad for GOP Candidate for the House of Representatives, Lt. Col. Allen West. Col. West is trying to unseat incumbent Democrat Rep. Ron Klein in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District. I wish he was in my District so I could vote for him.

All the core military virtues are here: Tough on the enemy, protective of his men, honest about his actions.

Lt. Col. Allen West is running for Congress in Florida's 22nd District, and is a prime example of what the Republican Party should be standing up for, and for good reason. This guy is for real and America needs him and men and women like him. He understands the very real threats we face both from within our country, and from outside our borders, and has a clear vision of what we ought to be doing to meet and defeat them.

Awesome Rep. Paul Ryan: The Choice of Two Futures






What kind of a nation are we going to be in the 21st century?

Paul Ryan on the threat posed to our nation's exceptionalism should a growing majority of takers become dependent on an increasing minority of makers:

This would mark a transition away from the traditional American idea of an entrepreneurial economy based upon limited government and free enterprise, and a move over toward a Western European-style, cradle-to-grave social welfare state, where the majority of people are dependent on the government for their very livelihoods. This saps us of our creativity, our entrepreneurial spirit, and our prosperity. This results in slow growth, fuels greater dependence on the government, which drains people of the incentive and the will to make the most of their lives. The point I'm trying to make with this tipping point -- this choice of two futures -- is: do you want an opportunity society with a safety net -- or -- do you want to switch over to this cradle-to-grave welfare state, where he have a culture of dependency, slow growth, lower livings standards, and less prosperity? That is the choice before us.





Wild Thing's comment.....

Gosh he is soooo good. You know he reminds me of Bobby Jindal in his way of speaking. That kind of fast paced and to the point no frills ...let's get her done kind of thing. haha

Like Jindal when he was telling Obama off during the oil spill and listing his plans telling Obama to LISTEN and Do something!

Anyway, Rep. Ryan is very smart and I love how he explains things. He is articulate, very knowledgeable, and very well put together. He also seemed to have an uncanny knack for putting complex issues in simple terms for the people like myself to understand.

He also made mince meat of Obama when they had that meeting with him about Obamacare. I loved that too.

Ryan has a plan to preserve the foundations that this country was founded on, maintain our freedom, and to stop the economic free fall, stabilize, and increase the prosperity of the economic engine that has been key in making this country what it was and what it could be again.

Blacklisting Done To Lt. Col. Allen West and wife Dr Angela Graham-West




Lt. Col. Allen West and his wife Angela and their daughters


H/T atlas shrugs

Bill, Danielle, and Chip, at about 1210 pm today I received a call from Ms Chris Landshut, (954)739-5007, Executive Director of the South Florida Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. After reintroducing herself to me she was uncomfortable telling me of a situation that has arisen reference the nomination of Angela and myself as a South Florida Finest Couple.

She informed me that she has received complaints from certain individuals who have threatened to withdraw their support to the Cystic Fibrosis gala event if Angela and I are honored. She humbly asked if I would agree to step down and allow the event to proceed and not disrupt the support to the foundation. These individuals have called and complained to the National Foundation decrying "politicizing" of the event.

In accepting the nomination, Angela and I consented to raise $10K for the Cystic Fibrosis foundation, our opportunity to give back to our community. However, not wanting to cause the foundation to lose what I was told could be up to $200K I consented to Ms Landshut that Angela and I would step down and not participate in the event.

Bill, you are the Chairman of this gala event and therefore I would like a formal letter of apology, not to me, but rather to my wife Dr Angela Graham-West explaining this situation. I do not care how people attack me but my wife is another matter.

I know that this situation revolves around my congressional candidacy but this event has honored political figures before. I felt that our service to this Nation and local commnity warranted our nomination.

It has come to my attention that the McCloskey and Levy families are the donors who have threatened to withdraw support due to prodding from the wife of Congressman Ron Klein. I find this reprehensible, disgusting, despicable, and petulant....but indicative of the hideous side of South Florida politics which I condemn. There is proof of this, to include an email trail, and I would appreciate your honesty when this becomes a topic of inquiry.

I must now contact all those friends whom I had asked to assist us in raising the requisite funds and inform them of this issue. I pray you are prepared.

I hold no angst against you as the Chairman of the event, Ms Landshut, or the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. However, I am highly upset with those who would blackmail the CF Foundation in order to play politics.

Steadfast and Loyal, LTC(R) Allen B West


Wild Thing's comment.......


This was a test of integrity for those at CF and they failed it by giving in to veiled blackmail. Life is a series of decisions, and good people need to stand together to support one another, and accept the consequences.

In this case, ... See Moreundoubtedly CF will reap the consequences of failed integrity. This is one more example of why we need the kind of leadership for which Allen West and Dr. Angela Graham-West are known.


Instead of setting their politics aside and allowing a PATRIOT and his wife to raise money for a very serious illness that effects millions, THEY are the ones that are making it POLITICAL! I am SOOOOOOOOOO sick of these charletons!

This was specific about Allen West and the desperation from the Klein campaign who will stop at nothing to win, including hurting sick people.


Klein is an ass. Look at this.....Kleini using an CF victim for Obama speech on obamacare.

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired) was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and is third of four generations of military servicemen in his family. His parents instilled in him a very basic principle, love of God and Country. In 2004, when it was time to retire from more than twenty years of service in the US Army, he brought his wife and two young daughters to Broward County, Florida, where he taught high school for one year.

Allen West received his Bachelors degree from University of Tennessee and Masters degree from Kansas State University, both in political science. He also holds a Master of Military Arts and Sciences from the US Army Command and General Staff Officer College in political theory and military operations.

“Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “With a good education, any child in America can live his dream.”

Allen West knows that for our children to live their dreams, they need to be safe. He has served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was battalion commander for the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and in Afghanistan, where he trained Afghan officers to take on the responsibility of securing their own country.

In his Army career, Col. West has been honored many times, including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award.

Michele Bachmann Starts House Tea Party Caucus



Texas GOP Vote

U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-6) filed paperwork Thursday to start a House Tea Party Caucus in order to promote a call for fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government:

Bachmann said of the Tea Party Caucus:


"The American people are speaking out loud and clear. They have had enough of the spending, the bureaucracy, and the government knows best mentality running rampant today throughout the halls of Congress. This caucus will espouse the timeless principles of our founding, principles that all Members of Congress have sworn to uphold. The American people are doing their part and making their voices heard and this caucus will prove that there are some here in Washington willing to listen."


A letter was sent earlier today to Representative Robert Brady, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration to register the House Tea Party Caucus as a Congressional Member Organization for the 111th Congress .

Woo hoo!! Way to go Michele!! What a great idea. Go on the offensive! That is thinking outside the box. I love it. But be careful, there’s some very clever infiltraitors (not a mispell) out there..

An American Hero LTC(R) Allen West– “NAACP a Political Hack Job Group”



Florida Congressional candidate Allen West held a town hall meeting in Fort Lauderdale to address the concerns of voter who were clearly concerned about the direction the country is headed in. In true Allen West fashion, he flexed his broad knowledge of the issues and answered the questions with the utmost conviction.

Statement Condemning the NAACP Resolution by LTC Allen West (USA, Ret.)

"The NAACP has missed the target. Their target should not be the Tea Party, but instead the larger issues facing the Black community: astronomical unemployment rates (15.5%) and the breakdown of the Black family, which result in higher drop-out rates, disproportionate incarceration rates and teen pregnancy rates (12.6%). These issues should be the focus of increased scrutiny by the NAACP.
This NAACP Resolution is consistent with the Obama administration tactic of demonizing and blaming someone else for your own failures and shortcomings, and not take responsibility and accountability."


“ Unlike Congressman Ron Klein, Allen West believes that the power of the Federal Government rests in the people. A Townhall is a forum that provides constituents an opportunity to hear directly from their elected officials. Last night’s Townhall, and those that will follow, are an example of what is to come when Allen West is elected to the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Valentina Weis, Communications Director.

West spoke to a crowd of about 200 for about 20 minutes, before taking questions-questions range from Illegal Immigration, Taxes, Education and Racism. As Racism begins to peak it’s ugly head out again, West express his frustration and concern with recent racial accusations regarding the Tea Party movement and the recent NAACP resolution directed at the movement.

John Bolton :" I Would Reverse All Of Obama's Policies"







.

John Bolton on American Sovereignty Under a Post-American Presidency

The Heritage Foundation


CHICAGO

Protect America Month 2010, the Heritage Foundation’s annual series of events and publications aimed at highlighting key national security issues and promoting sensible defense and homeland security policies, hit the road today with a special address in Chicago by former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.

Ambassador Bolton began his remarks by explaining why he refers to President Obama as a “post-American” president.

The first problem, he argued, is that President Obama doesn’t care about national security. It is not where his attention is focused. The second problem is that he doesn’t see threats to the U.S. overseas. He argued during his presidential campaign, for example, that Iran was a “tiny” country. The third problem is that President Obama appears to believe that American decline is not only inevitable, but also a good thing.

He looks at the world through a multilateralist prism and doesn’t really believe in American exceptionalism–something first spoken about by a Frenchman, Alexis de Tocqueville. President Obama, by contrast, when asked whether he believes in America exceptionalism answers yes, only in the way that “Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”

Put those features together with a foreign policy based on radical moral equivalences–such as the Administration’s outrageous equation of Arizona’s new immigration law and China’s routinely discriminatory and brutal treatment of foreigners and minorities–and you get what Ambassador Bolton calls the “Post-American” president.

Bolton argues that the Obama Administration’s approach has failed on Iran, on North Korea, in the Middle East, and on numerous other security issues because it is based on the view that all of the problems in the world are the consequence of our failure to negotiate.

He cautions that the Administration’s emphasis on negotiation could have serious costs. Negotiation–especially when waged ineptly and without moral clarity–often favors the proliferator. Ambassador worries that the Administration may have decided to accept a nuclear Iran, despite the fact that it would pose serious threats to the U.S.

Unless American’s demand a changed approach, and unless we keep national security at the top of the agenda–as Heritage’s Protect America month is doing–America could decline in ways that will be very difficult–if not impossible–to reverse.

Wild Thing's comment.......

John Bolton is so good. It just feels good too to be able to hear what he has to say. Unlike the daily sickening thing of that monster in the WH that is covered each day in the news.

Sarah Palin Releases “Mama Grizzlies” Internet Ad




A new video from Sarah Palin's political action committee invokes the power of “common-sense conservative women” as she urges “mama grizzlies” to let the nation hear them roar.

The campaign-style video features the former Alaska governor calling forth a "stampede" of conservative women who want to change Washington, according to The Swamp political blog in the Chicago Tribune.

The SarahPAC video features footage and audio from various appearances of the former Republican vice-presidential nominee.


From the video:

“This year will be remembered as a year when common sense conservative women get things done for our country,”

“All across this country, women are standing up and speaking out for common sense solutions.”

“These policies coming out of D.C. right now, this fundamental transformation of America — well a lot of women concerned about their kids’ futures are saying we don’t like this fundamental transformation and we’re going to do something about it,”

“That’s why we’re seeing, with all these women who are banding together rising up saying, ‘No, this isn’t right for our kids and for our grand-kids and we’re going to do something about this.’”

“We’re going to turn this thing around. We’re going to get our country back on the right track,”

“Look out Washington, cause there’s a whole stampede of elephants crossing the line and the e.t.a. for them stampeding through is November 2, 2010.”

Singer Ash Soular That Recorded “Obamanation" Receives Death Threats




Ash Soular recorded “Obamanation” in 2008 as a protest song. She warned Americans about slick media sensation Barack Obama.

The upside was that she got over 4,000,000 hits on the song she posted on YouTube. The downside was that she was harassed and received death threats for posting the song on YouTube.

Ash told her story recently in Las Cruces, New Mexico.


.


This is what Ash Soular wrote about her YouTube hit “Obamanation”:

I wanted to express how I felt about this past election, but I’m not very good at writing political blogs or particularly fond of debating. So I figured, how better to express my opinion than to write a song.
** To elaborate: This song is about how we’ve forgotten the importance of our leaders’ character. The expression, “Obamanation”, (a play on words, yes) is also meant to symbolize a reality where people vote for politicians based upon charisma, instead of the content of their character.
It’s describing a situation where we are blinded by those whose main goal is to spend more of our tax money while ignoring our values.
It reminds us that the change THEY want may not be the change that YOU want. Let them know whose change matters.




.




"OBAMANATION" political song by Ash Soular ........The lyrics written in 2008 are prophetic

She is talented and sweet . What a horrible thing just to sing a song and then be attacked and threatened because of it. This is America and once again we see that when it has something to do with dictator Obama there is less and less freedom of speech.

RNC Chair Michael Steele RESIGN NOW!



South Carolina GOP Sen. Jim DeMint appearing on Fox News Sunday today said that comments made by RNC Chairman Michael Steele in calling the War in Afghanistan a “War of Obama’s Choosing,” were “unacceptable” and “careless,” and simply not “accurate.” DeMint said Steele needs to “apologize to our military.”

As for whether Steele should resign, DeMint said that is “up to other people.” But DeMint said he hoped Steele would focus on the November Midterm elections, and the need to return Congress to a Republican majority.




.


Liz Cheney calls for Steele to step down Steele's comments "deeply disappointing and wrong."


Liz Cheney, daughter of the former vice president, chairman of Keep America Safe, and an increasingly prominent voice in national security politics, has released a statement calling for Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele to resign:

RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s comments about the war in Afghanistan were deeply disappointing and wrong. The chairman of the Republican party must be unwavering in his support for American victory in the war on terror — a victory that cannot be accomplished if we do not prevail in Afghanistan. I endorse fully Bill Kristol’s letter to Chairman Steele. It is time for Chairman Steele to step down.

Rev. Peterson: 'Michael Steele is a RINO'

Rev.Peterson website


April 23, 2010

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action, blasted RNC Chairman Michael Steele for his latest remarks that blacks don't have a reason to vote Republican. Steele also told 200 DePaul University students listening to his address on Tuesday that the Republicans walked away from blacks and that their strategy over the last 40 years to attract Southern white males has alienated minorities.


"Michael Steele is a RINO (Republican In Name Only) -- he's dividing the party and hurting recruitment efforts," said Rev. Peterson. "Since January I have called for the GOP to fire Steele because he cannot be trusted to lead the party to victory. I'm hoping that party leaders will finally get over their fear of being called racists and dump him before it's too late."


.

Wild Thing's comment........


I have really had it with Michael Steele, enough is enough. Each time he mouths off and says something else it takes longer each time to clean up his mess.


Amd regarding Michael's comments about blacks and the Republican party. Michael, you need to resign. Not only is that utterly insulting, it is arrogantly WRONG! The R party is the single BEST way, conservatives at least, of allowing for the opportunities for ALL Americans to make something of themselves, whatever it is they want to do. Pursuit of happiness is alive and well, but NOT in the D party. And the sooner you wake up to that fact, Michael, the better for ALL Americans.

We The People! ~This is a fantstic video!!!







.

Transcript:

“We The People” have stated resolutely we reject your vision for our country. You claim you have not heard us.

“We The People” have assembled across America resisting your efforts to subvert our constitution and undermine our liberty. You claim you have not seen us.

Since you have not acknowledged our message, let us here present it once more for if as President Wilson said, “a leader’s ear must ring with the voices of the people,” the time has come.

Our greatest treasure is freedom – the absence of restraints on our ability to think and to act. The corollary of freedom is individual responsibility. We believe in the power of the individual.

A few years ago President Bush said, “History moves toward freedom because the desire for freedom is written in every human heart.” Let us add that we will preserve it only as long as devotion to freedom is expressed in the heart of our actions.

When President Lincoln dedicated Gettysburg National Cemetery he declared, “It is for us the living to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus so nobly advanced.”

That unfinished cause for which our soldiers willingly go to battle and for which so many have given their lives is a free United States of America. It has been nearly one hundred fifty years and the work President Lincoln spoke of is not finished. In fact, that work will never be finished.

Freedom is the capacity of self-determination. It is not an entity but a condition and conditions change. Freedom can expand, yet so can it contract.

You promised change when you took office, Mr. President, but subjugation is not change we wanted or will accept.

You have expanded government, violated our Constitution, confounded laws, seized private industry, destroyed jobs, perverted our economy, curtailed free speech, corrupted our currency, weakened our national security, and endangered our sovereignty.

By compromising our nation’s cultural, legal and economic institutions, you are ensuring that our children will never achieve the same quality of life as we enjoy today. Through generational theft you are robbing the unborn of opportunity.

This is not acceptable. Not in America. We did not become a strong nation through hope but rather through self-reliance.

No one better understands the relationship between individual achievement, dignity and strength than our armed forces. Through every war our soldiers have held this nation’s destiny in their hands. They have not failed us. They cherish freedom enough that they are willing to die for it.

Our duty to them and to ourselves is to treasure freedom enough to live up to it.

We accept the challenge, Mr. President. That is why we are assembling across the land to deliver our message to you as often and in every way we can. Dismiss us at your political peril.

Our great nation is a Republic. We will not accept tyranny under any guise. Your policy to redistribute the fruits of our labor is Statism and will not be tolerated.

By our honor, Mr. President, we vow forever to resist coercive government in America. Patriots will not stand silent as you attempt to dismantle the greatest nation on earth. “We The People” will defend our liberty. We will protect our beloved country and America’s exceptionalism will prevail.

God Bless the United States of America!

Sincerely,

We The People

RHINO Dem Lite Lindsey Graham: Tea party will 'die out'





Politico


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says in a forthcoming article that the tea party movement is “unsustainable” and will “die out” because it lacks vision.

Graham made the comments to The New York Times as part of a profile in Sunday’s magazine written by Robert Draper.
Graham argues throughout the story that the Republican Party will eventually move away from the fringe and join him closer to the political middle but that, for now, it has shifted too far to the right.
“Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the tea party movement’s at,” Graham says. “The problem with the tea party, I think, is it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out.”
Graham later says that the GOP has shifted so far that Ronald Reagan would have trouble getting elected in today’s party.

“We don’t have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats,” Graham told the Times



Wild Thing's comment.......

Rep. Pence tells the members of Congress at a time of economic duress, with millions out of work and failed economic policies it is ironic that a bill with the words “financial stability” in it will do anything but create financial stability.

He tells us people are not looking to Washington D.C. for more taxes, spending and bailouts. They are looking to Washington D.C. for creating jobs, to set their partisan differences and big government agendas aside, and to put together something that will put Americans back to work. Pence tells us this bill will kill jobs, raise taxes and make bailouts permanent. According to Pence this bill will:

■Kill jobs by restricting access to credit.
■Kill jobs by raising taxes on those who would provide loans and opportunities to small businesses and farmers.
■Makes the “bad ideas” of the Wall Street bailout permanent.

The freedom to succeed must also include the freedom to fail. And personal responsibility must be a part of that. This bill codifies the idea of “too big to fail,” allows the government to pick “winners and losers” and the Treasury will have authority to decide which creditors to pay back and when they’ll get paid.Yes to traditional bankruptcy, and no! to bailouts. We’re here to protect taxpayers, not Wall Street.

Jon "David" Kahn - " AMERICAN HEART "






Jon David releases “American Heart”video just in time for Independence Day.

Filmed on location across America.


Written and performed by Jon David Kahn
Directed by Andrew Marcus
Produced by Maura Flynn
Edited by Michael Kadela and Andrew Marcus

www.americanheartmusic.com

Next Peformance July 1. Troopathon to support soldiers with care packages from home. Hosted by Andrew Breitbart. I will be dedicating "American Heart" to my good friend CPT (CH) John Konugres who is being deployed to Afghanistan in mid July.

From his Facebook page.

""Go on raise the flag. I got stars in my eyes. I'm in love with Her. And I won't apologize"


.

It turns out Tea Party regular Jon David, known for his song “American Heart,” is actually famous Hollywood screenwriter Jonathan Kahn.




Wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses, Jonathan Kahn became Jon David and then he took the Tea Party circuit by storm. He opened for Sarah Palin and sang his now famous song “American Heart” coast to coast and turned it into a YouTube sensation.

He also regularly wrote for Andrew Breitbart’s “Big Hollywood.” Kahn says he took the name Jon David and disguised himself with hat and glasses out of fear of retribution in his work life.

Kahn writes screenplays and soundtracks for major motion pictures and he says being a Conservative is the kiss of death in Hollywood.

He doesn’t really care about that anymore according to the WSJ. He says he’s lived in the shadows his entire adult life unable to speak his mind and he’s done with that. Kahn actually had two different mailing addresses and has literally been living a double life.


Wild Thing's comment.......

GREAT song! I like his voice too.

GOP’s Eric Cantor Calls Obama’s “Bluff"



Obama's response to Eric Cantor might be.


.


GOP Rep. Eric Cantor responding to President Obama’s cryptic assertion that he’s going to “call their bluff” – speaking of Republicans – next year by putting before the American people “some very difficult choices” on reducing the deficit.

Well, Cantor calls Obama’s bluff here, and calls on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to act “this year, not next year.”



Wild Thing's comment........

I love that Eric Cantor did this. More and more we are seeing a good number of our side speaking up and in strong ways. I always let them know too we are watching and remembering those that speak up and to not weaken.

Sen. Sessions "Taken Aback" By Kagan Remarks






Sen. Jeff Sessions yesterday at the end of his questioning of Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan, saying to her that he was “taken aback” by her attempts to dodge the truth about how she prevented military recruiters from conducting their work at the Harvard Law School when she was Dean there, because she was trying to make a political statement against the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.


“I’m just a little taken aback by the tone of your remarks, because it’s unconnected to reality. I know what happened at Harvard. I know you were an outspoken leader against the military policy. I know you acted without legal authority to reverse Harvard’s policy and deny those – the military equal access to campus until you were threatened by the United States Government of loss of Federal Funds. This is what happened!”

Obama should never have nominated someone to sit on the Supreme Court who treated our military in this way. If she would act against the military to advance her political and social views, don’t you think she will use her position on the Supreme Court to do the same?


Wild Thing's comment........

With every leftist appointment, with every new czar, with every additional usurpation of our sacred liberties, we march towards the inevitable conclusion to Obama's marxist folly. He will not be happy until there is blood in the streets.

Tea Party Protesters Greet VP Joe Biden in IN: “We’re Going to Vote these People out in 2010 and 2012″Video CLICK HERE


Louisville, Kentucky – Jeffersonville, Indiana area where Tea Party protesters turned out to greet Vice-President Joe Biden who was making a visit to the area yesterday. Here’s some of the comments from the Tea Party people:


“We’re here because we’re put out with politicians who don’t care what the people think. All of the polls show that the people do not agree with what is going on, and we’ll get it anyway. And we’re here to protest that.”


"We are put out with these politicians who no longer care what the people think," said Bill Crace, who is a member of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. "All the polls show that the people don't agree with what's going on, but we get it anyway. We're here to protest that."

"I am here in protest of higher taxes, out of control spending the the ramming of legislature down our throats," said Lisa Morris, who is also part of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. "We feel we're being taxed without representation."

Republican Todd Lally, who is running for Louisville's 3rd district Congressional seat against Rep. John Yarmuth (D), spoke at the rally.

"We're unhappy with the direction of our country," said Lally. "They come in here and they preach about jobs coming to our community when, in fact, we still have 10% unemployment in Jefferson County. I'm here to say you can toot your own horn, but the scoreboard says something else.


"I am just fed up to here with the policies that are going on," said Sandra Scott, from Sellersburg, Indiana. "I've never been an activist, but this year I'm going to be out there and we're going to vote these people out in 2010 and again in 2012."

Gov. Jan Brewer Speaks Out About Obama and His Failure as President ~ God Bless Brewer!



Governor Jan Brewer (R-AZ) met with President Obama on June 3rd to discuss our broken border with Mexico. President Obama promised he’d get back with her in two weeks. He didn’t. He blew her off.


But, she did find out from Ecuadorean TV that his administration planned to sue her state. In the meantime, the federal government has ceded three southern Arizona counties to the Mexican drug cartel due to violence and smuggling.

Yesterday she released her latest ad about Obama for failing to do his job.

Governor Brewer takes on Obama's lies that "our border is as safe as it has ever been" and she challenges the President to do his constitutionally mandated job of securing our borders and protecting the citizens of Arizona and of the United States.

The Obama resignation letter drive that Major General Paul Vallely spoke about is now in full swing. This project is being spearheaded by Chalice Jackson of Patriots Heart Network, who is also partnered with, Band of Mothers, Veteran Defenders, Stand Up America, and 20 Turns. The goal is to send a message to Obama and gang that we the people are serious and we demand action.

The instructions on what to do, posted below full text of the 'No Confidence We Demand Resignation Petition Letter,' below... [note: this project is time-sensitive, so act now.]


NO CONFIDENCE! We Demand Resignation Petition Letter

For High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Oath of Office for the President of the United States of America:

US Constitution, Article II, Section 1

“Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:”
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."


Be it known to all:

•On January 20, 2009, Barack H. Obama, willingly, and without reservation swore the oath of office, not once, but twice, to clarify the first oath which was possibly not administered correctly;

•Since taking the Oath of Office, numerous and frequent transgressions to this oath have been committed by the oath taker in his capacity as President of the United States of America;

•These transgressions, both in volume and severity, constitute High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by the oath taker;

•Therefore, the American Citizens undersigned, demand the immediate resignation of the oath taker, and his appointees;

•Absent proper and immediate resignations, the undersigned demand that the United States House of Representatives begin immediate and expedited procedures to strike Articles of Impeachment upon the oath taker for high crimes and misdemeanors.

•Definition of High Crimes and Misdemeanors:"High" in the legal parlance of the 18th century means "against the State". A high crime is one which seeks the overthrow of the country, which gives aid or comfort to its enemies, or which injures the country to the profit of an individual or group. In democracies and similar societies it also includes crimes which attempt to alter the outcome of elections.(Wikipedia 6-20-10)


NO CONFIDENCE – I DEMAND RESIGNATION

We the undersigned, without malice, and with full understanding and clear volition, have no confidence in and do demand the resignation of U.S. President Barack H. Obama, his appointees, and his administration forthwith.

Singer Trace Adkins on Obama's Drilling Moratorium



TWO different interviews with his various comments throughout.:




Trace Adkins on Obama's Drilling Moratorium:

"Most Idiotic Juvenile Overreeaction, Like Kicking a Man When He's Down"
Adkins has experience working in the oil industry, he tells AC360

Adkins has experience working in the oil industry, he tells AC360 that he worked in the Gulf on drilling rigs for 6 years.


.





TRANSCRIPT:


Oil worker turned country star Trace Adkins on career, oil rig disaster

CNN


At 6' 6", Trace Adkins is an imposing figure. When he sings, it's in a baritone that's sometimes tender, sometimes ironic and occasionally raucous. But when he speaks, he's generally pretty serious.

This is a man of strong convictions, a former hellraiser who straightened up, stopped drinking and suddenly found himself an icon of integrity, as seen during his 2008 stint on "The Celebrity Apprentice," where he came in second. In the meantime, his career keeps gaining momentum -- at age 48.

Not bad for a guy who spent his 20s as an oil rigger off the coast of his native Louisiana. Even in the wake of the deaths of 11 men in the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon, even in the wake of the oil spill that's gumming up the Gulf of Mexico, he defends offshore drilling.

“Until we find another alternative, that’s what we gotta do,” he says during a break in the filming of his new music video.

He recently spoke with CNN about his career and the Gulf Coast oil disaster.

CNN: You’re 48, yet your career seems to be on the upswing.

Trace Adkins: Well, because we keep working hard. I don’t ever take anything for granted. Until I decide that I don’t want to do this anymore, I’m going to approach every day like it’s the last day of my career.

CNN: The beginning was a bit of a rough ride. How’d that all turn around?

Adkins: Maturity, age, wisdom and a good woman — all those things. And a lot of kids. (He has five daughters)

CNN: What is it that really turned the corner for you?

Adkins: Well, when I quit drinking, really — if you want to get down to brass tacks, that’s when things started to get a lot better for me. When I quit using, things got better. Simple as that.

CNN: Sounds like a nice incentive to not revisit that lifestyle.

Adkins: I’m not saying that I wouldn’t ever, but I won’t do it again unless my accountant tells me I can. (Chuckles)

CNN: Back in the day, you were an oil rigger.

Adkins: I worked in the oil field for 10 years.

CNN: Did you ever imagine something like this disaster could happen?

Adkins: Sure. We trained for it; we drilled for it. It was something that we were always cognizant of — always knew there was a possibility. I went to work for Golden Marine drilling company, and it was right after they had lost a drill ship called the Java Sea. 170-something men, I think, they lost on that drill ship. I’ve seen the hurt, because it’s like a big family.

CNN: Oil is headed for the shore in the Gulf.

Adkins: It’s just the price of doing business in the petroleum world, unfortunately. And people think, “If we just quit using petroleum in our cars.” The day we stop using petroleum, you’d better find a way to make plastics, all kinds of medicines and clothes that we wear and the shoes that we wear, the houses that we live in. All that stuff is made out of petroleum, so don’t just think it’s gasoline.

CNN: Are you for offshore drilling?

Adkins: Absolutely. I mean, I don’t know how many years now we’ve been drilling off-shore, but you’ve had one case where this has happened in all those years, and all these tens of thousands of wells that have been drilled out there. I’m all for weaning ourselves off of oil, don’t get me wrong, but until we find another alternative, that’s what we gotta do.

CNN: A lot of criticism is being levied at the national news agencies for not giving enough of a spotlight to flood victims in Nashville.

Adkins: I don’t feel slighted in any way. I’m not worried about it because I think that Nashville — as a community and as a city — will cowboy up and will take care of the situation. We’ll take care of it. We don’t need everybody in the country to come run to our aid.


CNN: Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. That's what you've done in your life.

Adkins: Sure. You know, life's not always fair, man. You're going to get dealt a bad hand every now and then. You've just got to play the hand you're dealt, you know, and do the best you can.


.



Wild Thing's comment........

Trace is a former oil rig worker who knows his stuff. I once heard him say, “If I had my say, you’d walk from Mississippi to Mexico without touching water. A rig every ten feet.”
He spent his 20s as an oil rigger off the coast of his native Louisiana.

Tea Party Protesters Assaulted in North Carolina



North Carolina GOP Chairman Nathan Tabor was attacked at a peaceful protest yesterday in Greensboro.



.




Big Government

Like a bad cold it can’t shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history.

The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP’s bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That’s why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum.

Proponents cynically and falsely claim it would help consumers, but its hard to see many consumers feeling benefited by paying higher prices while mega corporations increase their profits.

The Financial Reform bill is nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for our country. Bailouts will be permanently enshrined into law. The Federal Reserve will be empowered, not reformed. Left wing and union activists will be encouraged to interfere with the operations of companies through the proxy access provisions. The bill’s broad definiation of ”nonbank financial company” that would mean that many Main Street companies would be hit with regulations, taxation and possibily nationalization by the Federal Rererve. And of course, ground zero for the financial crisis — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — remain untouched and unchanged by the bill.

None of this seems to bother left wing activists and members of Congress. Left wing activists are willing to beat conservatives who are speaking out against this monstrosity. Unfortunately, the real damage will be done to our economy and free market system and will be injured for years to come.

Mark Levin on Rush Limbaugh's Wedding




Mark Levin on Rush Limbaugh's Wedding! And Hannity also has a great monologue concerning Rush's wedding on his show yesterday.

Mark Levin attended the Wedding and he commented on Elton John entertaining at the Reception.
Apparently, Elton was at the same Hotel in Hawaii when Rush had his heart issue. Elton heard about it and contacted Rush to see how he was doing.

Rush and Kathryn heard about Elton’s concern and called him to thank him. Since then, they have been in contact with Elton and asked him if hew would perform at the Wedding. As Mark said, Elton took time during his performance to tell the guests that he was there because he valued building relationships, not tearing them down.

Mark said Elton was great and he enjoyed meeting him, as did many other guests. It was a celebration of family and friends and everyone including Elton had a great time.




Wild Thing's comment........

I am glad Mark spoke about this, too many conservatives/republicans online at a few places I have seen are all upset that Rush had Elton John there. These people complaining would be the same type of people that when they have come to our home bashed Nicholas and I as well. Judgmental jerks that think they are perfect and live to complain about others that mean no harm to them in anyway. LOL Nick with Sean Connery playing football on their days off from one of the films they did together and we had to hear what a socialist he was or something. Or the photos of Hefner and I like I could control who owned Playboy modeling agency. hahaha You just have to say thank you for sharing to these complaints and know they won't be wanting to be friends.

Like Nicholas said, " if they walked in our place and saw some of the photos in the library of us with people we have worked with in showbiz they would throw a hissy fit....so screw them. "

I am happy for Rush and I want him to live a long healthy happy life.

Ginni Thomas Wife of SC Justice Clarence Thomas Says “We are in a Fight for our Country’s Life”







The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has harsh words for Democrat-controlled Washington.


.

The Democrats’ control of the White House and Capitol Hill has resulted in tyranny, says Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, founder of LibertyCentral.org.

Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has harsh words for President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress.

“I’ve never seen in my 30 years in Washington an agenda that’s so far left,” Thomas tells Newsmax.TV. “It grabs a lot of power so that Washington elites can pick winners and losers.”

Washington has turned away from our Founding Fathers, says Thomas, a former consultant to The Heritage Foundation.

They gave us a government that’s supposed to make us “citizens, not subjects; to be self-governed, not to be ruled by a tyranny in Washington,” Thomas says.
“Whether it’s a soft tyranny or a hard tyranny, it’s time to put our foot down. If we don’t stop this train that’s headed for a cliff right now, we won’t have the country we grew up in.”

With Democrats in control, there are no checks and balances in Washington now, says Thomas, a native Nebraskan who founded her website in November to promote grassroots political activism.

The Democrats aren’t listening to the people, she says, adding, “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The Bush administration did a much better job of listening, Thomas believes. When it proposed immigration and Social Security reform that the public resisted, the White House backed off.

That’s not the case now, “even though the citizenry is rebelling and trying to speak,” she says. “I’ve never seen Washington not listening like what we’re seeing now. We’re either going to be self-governed or ruled.”
Hopefully citizens will take out their frustrations in November “and make sure people who aren’t listening will have a new job,” Thomas says.

As for Liberty Central, it inspires citizens to action on behalf of five major principles:

■Limited constitutional government
■Individual liberty
■Personal responsibility
■Free enterprise
■National security


Washington is deficient in all these areas, so people need to start participating in government more, Thomas says.

Tea partyers represent the first political responders to Washington’s follies, Thomas says.
“That’s because they’re the people figuring this power grab out quicker than most,” she says.
“This is truly a grass-roots movement. I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this in our lives. It’s very inspirational. I appreciate all they’ve done.”
The left’s ridicule of the tea partyers just shows their merit, Thomas says.
“The left goes after the people they’re most afraid of. It’s important in this political environment to have the right friends and enemies. If the left is calling you names, you’re someone we want to pay attention to.”
Thomas voices high praise for Sarah Palin. The former Alaska governor appeals to people because of her authenticity, Thomas says.
“She’s a breath of fresh air. People want to hear real people talking about what’s really happening. That’s why she’s so effective.”



.



Wild Thing's comment........

I bet Judge Thomas is proud of her! I am also grateful for Judge Thomas, his courage to adhere to his conservative principles despite the incredible levels of ridicule and scorn from others.

May God bless this dear woman, her husband Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, and her organization.
She speaks very well.

Tea Party Member Stuns Crowd! ~A Must See Video



Herman Cain lead a Q&A session at the Douglas County, GA. Tea Party when a young woman asked him about the attack by the Left on our Judeo-Christian heritage in America...He addressed her question, then went to the last question of the night, and the crowd was not expecting what happened next................

Our Founding Fathers wanted us to live it and God himself put it into the heart of man.

Patriots are standing once again, they are coming forward....WE WILL PREVAIL.


.




A Marine stood up and told Cain that people forget the other verses to the Star Spangle Banner...He then sang it in a beautiful, powerful and moving voice..people in the crowd realized what is happening and stood up with hands on their hearts.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause. it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Freedom's Color Blind





From Joe Dan Media : "Eatin Liberals For Breakfast "


About the video and song from Joe Dan.

Too many racial arsonists like Sharpton, Jackson & La Raza scream 'racism' as easily as they take a breath. I'm tired of the media outlets including (all-white) MSNBC calling me a racist.

So I wrote this little 'kiss my countryass' piece. Hope you like it.

Too bad Obama, Sharpton etc. do not get it, do not have a clue. Instead they push seperation and divide and sadly too many believe them.
Everytime we or anyone on our side takes a stand for our country, the left says we are racist. Like some kind of sick recording and it is a total lie. They can't debate or discuss so they go the race card on everything they do not like being said, they hate the truth.

Notice he's wearing an NRA hat at the end of the video.

Les Phillip, a black Republican hoping to unseat Democrat-turned-Republican Rep. Parker Griffith.

.

From Les:

A Message to the Fifth District

I will defend your rights – the rights guaranteed every American by the Constitution – with the same dedication, integrity and vigor with which I defended my country while serving as a pilot in the U.S. Navy.
I was privileged to serve along side men and women of the military who shared my belief that our assignment was to protect America at ALL cost. Whether facing turbulent seas or enemy fire, I was entrusted with multi-billion dollar equipment and vital security missions requiring focus, resolve and pinpoint precision. During battle, there is no room for error.
Here in Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District, we understand the vital role that government plays in providing “for the common defense.” But today’s representation is Washington is destroying all we have fought and died for. They were elected to serve as the people’s voice, to defend our rights and to create the opportunity for all American’s to enjoy security and prosperity. Instead, the power of elected office is being used for self-serving agendas, special interests and political gain. I say, “No more!”
If elected to Congress, I will vigorously defend freedom of enterprise, fight for your right to bear arms and promote a limited role of the Federal government in YOUR life. I will not stand back and allow the status quo of politics as usual to continue eroding our rights and destroying our country.
Regardless of circumstance or surrounding, I will defend you in Washington with the same zeal, passion and determination I had as a naval aviator. You WILL again have a voice! Thank you for your support.

Republican Wins House Seat in Hawaii


Republican Charles Djou (duh-JOO') has won a Democratic-held House seat in Hawaii in the district where Barack Obama lived for awhile.

The special election is the latest triumph for the GOP as it looks to take back control of Congress.




Djou wins special election for Congress


For the first time in two decades, last night Hawaii has returned to the Republican column. U.S. Congressman-elect Charles Djou (R-HI) has won the special election to fill the vacancy caused the resignation of Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D).

Honolulu is one of the most Democratic districts in the nation..., and Obama received 70% of the vote in 2008. Djou won with 40% of the vote. Senate President Collen Hanabusa (D) received 31% and former Rep. Ed Case (D) took 28%.

Republican Charles Djou emerged victorious tonight in the special election to fill Hawaii’s vacancy in Congress, giving Hawaii it’s first GOP member of Congress in 20 years.

Djou won the special mail-in election with 39.5 percent of the vote in the first printout, released at 6 p.m.

The first printout represented nearly all of the 170,312 returned by voters in the district, which stretches from Waikiki and downtown to Mililani.

Democrat Colleen Hanabusa was second at 30.8 percent, with Democrat Ed Case third at 27.6 percent.

“This is a momentous day,” Djou told a jubilant crowd at state party headquarters. “We have sent a message to the United States Congress. We have sent a message to the ex-governors. We have sent a message to the national Democrats! We have sent a message to the machine.”
“We have told them that we will not stand idly by as our great nation is overburdened by too much taxes, too much debt and too much wasteful spending.”
"I congratulate Charles Djou for his victory and a successful campaign based on the widely-shared values of cutting spending, shrinking government and creating real, permanent American jobs," said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas).

Look who's headlining Las Vegas tea-party convention!





Look who's headlining Las Vegas tea-party convention!

CNN's loss, tea partiers' gain seeking to unify movement in run up to fall election


wnd


He caused quite an uproar as a CNN anchor when he advocated for stronger U.S. border enforcement and when he refused to drop "birther" stories about challenges to President Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold office.

Now he's a headlining speaker at the second tea-party convention in July in Las Vegas, an event geared toward unifying the tea-party movement in the run-up to the fall congressional elections.

Lou Dobbs will rally tea partiers at the National Tea Party Unity Convention, July 15-17, at the Palazzo Las Vegas Resort in Nevada. The Tea Party Nation, along with ResistNet, Leadership Tea Party, the Tea Party Leadership Coalition and other groups, is organizing the event.

"Lou Dobbs is just an amazing guy," Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips told WND. "He stood up to the powers that be at CNN. He had a very high-rated show there, and he could have kept toeing the party line and doing what they wanted him to do. But he spoke up for America."

In 2009, Dobbs was voted to the top 10 list of the most important radio talk-show hosts in America by Talkers Magazine. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in economics.

The award-winning journalist and best-selling author's refusal to drop "birther" stories about challenges to Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold office was a major source of contention with CNN management, leading the unconventional anchor to walk away from the network and more than $9 million in November, the New York Post reported.

The Post, citing anonymous sources, said the beginning of the end of a long-simmering dispute came in July last year, when CNN President Jonathan Klein told Dobbs' staff in a memo to stop reporting on lawsuits that demand Obama produce evidence he's a natural-born American citizen, as required by the Constitution.


Dobbs said several times he believed Obama was a U.S. citizen, and all he wanted was the president to produce a copy of his birth certificate, but the network clamped down on the host nonetheless.

Dobbs, who also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, told his radio audience in July that "even though I said I believe the president is a citizen of the United States, I don't understand why he shouldn't produce a birth certificate. My God, you're talking about the third rail of American journalism, baby! That's it. I'm not going to back off."
"What makes Lou Dobbs so special," Farah writes, "is his independence and fearlessness. Dobbs clearly set his own agenda. He had no interest in the 'conventional wisdom' of his industry. Dobbs thinks like a real American newsman – a throwback to an age when journalists actually believed they were watchdogs of government and asked tough questions in the interests of the people."

The New York Post also noted that CNN had long been asking Dobbs to "tone down his harsh rhetoric" on issues such as immigration. For years, in his "Broken Borders" segment, Dobbs warned of the dangers of illegal immigration. Several campaigns were launched to convince CNN to "dump Dobbs."

Dobbs said advocacy groups that support illegal immigration pressed for him to be fired and had been "unrelenting in their propaganda."

Outspoken opponents of Dobbs include the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Council of La Raza, Internet media watchdog Media Matters and Geraldo Rivera of Fox News.

No Apology Song - The Case for Ameican Greatness





A song about America’s greatness. Inspired by Mitt Romney’s book, " No Apology"



Here are the lyrics:

Way back in ‘73, we had a tea party

and speedy Paul Revere said “The British are here.”

But ’round the world a shot was heard

We fought them off in Concord

The British took Boston, never knowin’ what it’d cost ‘em

They fought they’d broken our will

but there were cannons on the hill…

So then in ‘76 we said “goodbye” to the Brits

It took all of us to beat Cornwallis

Despite risk of retribution we signed the Constitution

and King George realized… that we would not…

We won’t apologize for what we symbolize

for letting freedom grow, for standing up and saying “no”

We won’t apologize for the Bill of Rights

for independence we will not apologize.

In the 19th Century we had a Great Awakening

and then President Monroe said: “Stay on your side of the globe!”

We brought in Texas — just as proud as the rest of us

We spread west to the Pacific, thought California was terrific

Yankees: “Slavery’s gotta end!”

Dixie: “Amendment Number 10!”

Then U.S. Grant and Robert E. Lee agreed on unity

We won’t apologize ‘cuz we can compromise

that we will stand and fight for what we think is right

We won’t apologize ‘cuz Lincoln ratified

and gave the slaves their rights

We don’t apologize.

The Industrial Revolution was the peak of our pollution

Cars and phones and planes and flight, vaccines and electric light

DuPont and JP Morgan, assembly lines and Henry Ford and

the allies need an ally ’till the Treaty of Versailles

The Great Depression was on from ‘29 to ‘41

Hitler was in power, it was Europe’s darkest hour

but after Pearl Harbor and our ability to labor

the giant awoke and we all took up the yoke

We don’t apologize for saving foreign lives

for defending our freedoms, our children and our wives

Did we isolate and cower? Or become a superpower?

No, we organized and we didn’t apologize.

Russia, Cuba, and China put their freedoms behind them

but Korea never fell past the 38th parallel

Should we have gone to Panama or Vietnam?

How could Reagan talk so tough to resilient Gorbachev?

Then the UN turned their back on the suffering in Iraq

How could we think to liberate with the world just yelling, “wait”?

Until September 11th 3,000 souls went up to heaven

and their lives we eulogize

And we will never, never…

We’ll never apologize.

Should we turn and flee from the cause of liberty?

Or cross the ocean and die so that others can be free?

Are we sorry we fight and die to answer freedom’s cry?

asking only a space to place…

our dead.

asking only a space to place…

our dead.

Should we apologize for saving foreign lives?

For standing against evil and not covering our eyes?

Should we hang head for the movement we led?

Or the truth that we said, or the hope that we spread?

There is no policy, no new hip philosophy

There is no prosperity, no new ideology

There is no kind of peace, no breadth of security

There is no community, no type of earthly beauty

There’s nothing like life when you are free

and for that we offer no apology.




.

In the book No Apology, Mitt Romney asserts that American strength is essential—not just for our own well-being, but for the world’s. Governments such as China and a newly-robust Russia threaten to overtake us on many fronts, and radical Islam continues its dangerous rise. Drawing on history for lessons on how great powers collapse, Romney shows how and why our national advantages have eroded. From the long-term decline of our manufacturing base, our laggard educational system that has left us without enough engineers, scientists, and other skilled professionals, our corrupted financial practices that led to the current crisis, and the crushing impact of entitlements on our future obligations, America is in debt, overtaxed, and unprepared for the challenges it must face.
Personal and dynamically-argued, No Apology is a call to action by a man who cares deeply about America’s history, its promise, and its future.

Republicans Sound Alarm on Obama's Plan to Seize 401(k)s



Human Events

The Obama Administration is making plans to take over the nation’s 401(k)s in order to bail out their union backers and their bankrupted pension plans.

In February, the White House released its “Annual Report on the Middle Class” containing new regulations favored by Big Labor including a bailout of critically underfunded union pension plans through “retirement security” options.

The radical solution most favored by Big Labor is the seizure of private 401(k) plans for government disbursement — which lets them off the hook for their collapsing retirement scheme. And, of course, the Obama administration is eager to accommodate their buddies.

Vice President Joe Biden floated the idea, called “Guaranteed Retirement Accounts” (GRAs), in the February “Middle Class” report.

In conjunction with the report’s release, the Obama administration jointly issued through the Departments of Labor and Treasury a “Request for Information” regarding the “annuitization” of 401(k) plans through “Lifetime Income Options” in the form of a notice to the public of proposed issuance of rules and regulations. (pdf)




.

Republican Leader John Boehner released this statement today in response to this recent move by democrats:

Keep Bureaucrats’ Hands off Americans’ 401(k)s

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and members of the House GOP Savings Solutions Group sent a letter to Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warning the Obama Administration that the government should keep its hands off of the retirement savings of Americans, and should reject proposals that would dismantle or nationalize the private 401(k) system in favor of a government-run retirement security regime. Several Administration officials, including the Vice President, have voiced support for efforts to create so-called “Guaranteed Retirement Accounts” or impose new government mandates which would undermine 401(k) retirement savings plans and jeopardize employers’ willingness to continue offering them to their workers. Boehner issued the following statement:

“The American people are asking ‘where are the jobs?’ They aren’t asking for job-killing policies that jeopardize their retirement savings. Unfortunately, Washington Democrats are pursuing policies that make it more difficult to offer 401(k) savings plans to their workers, and some are even advocating replacing them with government-run accounts and ending 401(k)s altogether. That’s unacceptable and not the solution Americans need at a time when they are still rebuilding their retirement, college, and personal savings.
“Republicans are committed to offering better solutions, and the proposal we have offered – the Savings Recovery Act – will help restore Americans’ savings and ensure that Washington does not stand in the way of families’ ability to save more. It’s time for Democrats to stop advocating policies that will destroy Americans’ savings and work with Republicans on better solutions to help rebuild them.”

Several GOP House members signed on to a letter delivered to labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner expressing their concerns today.

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH)
Rep. John Kline (R-MN)
Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI)
Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX)
Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV)
Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY)
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)
Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-OH)
Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH)
Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-MN)
Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS)
Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA)
Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA)




.


Wild Thing's comment........

I don't have a 401 K, but this should tick off every American to see this GREED from Obama.

Wanna bet Obama voters scream the loudest when this takes place? or are they just swiping the 401k of republicans?

We are a free people, and have been pushed, prodded and abused. This is tyranny.

Obama has devastated everything he's touched (by design). We are living in tyranny now and the only thing that hasn't happened is the brutalization of the citizenry (which is coming soon imo)

Obama then enemy Foreign and Domestic, Obama has devastated everything he's touched (by design )We are living in tyranny delivered to us by Obama.


Thank God for John Boehner leading the way on this and his letter. They , WE, need for ALL the Republicans in power to sign it.

Tea Partiers Sound Call



Susquehanna County District Attorney Jason Legg described the Constitution as a cage to keep the power of the federal government in check at the Tea Party rally held April 15 on the Green in Montrose. “We’ve lost our way,” said Legg


Tea Partiers sound call

“Hear us in November,” said Bruce Paskoff as he tested the sound system at the Tax Day Tea Party demonstration held April 15 on the Montrose Village Green.

More than 200 people gathered for the rally, waving signs and flags – some wore Paul Revere hats while others donned tea bags.

The crowd presented a cross-section of Susquehanna County - filled with mothers pushing strollers, veterans, elderly, working-class men, children and folks of all ages.

Many signs referenced government spending, taxes, the national debt, and health care reform while others specifically targeted Sen. Arlen Specter, Rep. Christopher Carney, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama.

Paskoff, along with wife, Edna, of Forest Lake, coordinated the event.

A busload of Bradford County residents joined the demonstration.

Sylvia Ellis, one of the coordinator’s of last year’s Tea Party in Bradford County, said the theme of this year’s rally was “Vote them out,” echoing Paskoff’s sound check remark.

Gary Haskell, a Jackson area pastor, spoke first, noting, “I’m a motorcycle riding, gun carrying, Bible loving preacher and I don’t apologize for it.”


He also expressed his dissatisfaction with “an administration forcing socialism and communism down our throats.”


As did Tom Helmacy, of Auburn Twp. who said he was at the rally because, “I want to see the socialist movement stopped.”


Vic Lawson from Bradford County said the people should be the “watchdogs of government” and he believed the news media had shirked its duty in its coverage of Tea Party events.

“I don’t see violence and destruction of property at Tea Party events,” Lawson said. “I see patriots coming together across the country.”


Donna Benjamin, of Hallstead, said this was the second Tea Party event she has attended with her three young sons.

“I feel taxes have been raised enough,” she said. “Government is not being held accountable for what it does with our money.”


Bill Ord, of Brooklyn, said he came out to the rally to “see what was going on and to put my support behind it to help change things in Washington and Harrisburg.”

Susquehanna County District Attorney Jason Legg spoke about the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and the current state of government.

Legg said, “The Founding Fathers fought not for themselves but for principles bigger than their selves.


Legg described the Constitution as a cage constructed by the Founders to keep the power of the federal government in check.

“They wanted a government that did little. That’s where we’ve lost our way,” said Legg.
“The Constitution was created not to give the government power but to protect people from government.”
Legg said a “right does not mean and entitlement” and said that where the federal government has become “confused.”
The district attorney told the crowd he spoke with Carney immediately following a town hall meeting the congressman hosted at the Susquehanna County Courthouse last year, and he asked Carney about the constitutionality of the health care bill.

Legg told the crowd Carney told him the interstate commerce clause allowed for the government to mandate health care.

Legg said he questioned how if insurance companies cannot sell their products across state lines, how it could qualify as interstate commerce.

Legg said Carney also told him that Article I, Section VIII of the Constitution (the general welfare clause) would allow for it as well

“If it’s allowed, there is no end to (government) telling us what we can or can’t do,” said Legg.
“(Congress has) created a dependent culture drugged by pork and entitlements” Legg said. “They’ve been water boarding our Constitution for decades.”
“We will be the silent majority no more,” he ended, as some wiped tears from their eyes and others stood to cheer.
At the podium a Jewish-German immigrant said, “I came to America for freedom. I’m a very mad Pennsylvania woman with my religion and my gun.” The three GOP candidates –Malcolm Derk, David Madeira and Tom Marino - vying for a shot to challenge Carney in November attended the rally and spoke to the crowd.
Of the Tea Party movement, Marino said, “This May and November, Washington is going to be stunned as to how powerful the voters really are.”
Other speakers/candidates included Rep. Sandra Major; Rep. Tina Pickett, Sen. Gene Yaw; and for gubernatorial candidates Sam Rohrer and Tom Corbett, Jerry Birmelin and Dan Meuser, respectively.

David Madeira for Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District



I really like what he says:...this is from his website............

The challenges that face America are not unprecedented, but they are serious. The lack of responsiveness from our elected leaders has convinced me that we need to come together to return the reigns of power in America to their rightful owners, We The People.
Last summer I spoke at Tea Party rallies and saw my friends and neighbors express their frustration with the rush to government control of just about every aspect of our lives. Washington’s Wall Street Bailouts and Big Business Takeovers have left us with double digit unemployment, declining wages and unfathomable debt.
The American people don’t want to be governed by Democrats or Republicans, they want to govern themselves according to the Constitution and they want their elected representatives to do just that - represent them.
I’m determined, with your help and support, to take up the challenge to restore the Constitutional Representative Republic we were given by the incredible sacrifice and wisdom of our Founding Fathers. I’m running for Congress to represent the ideals of Faith, Family and Freedom that we all hold dear.

Tristate Sons of Liberty Announce Pennsylvania Congresional District 10 Endorsement

"Tristate Sons of Liberty is an alliance of like-minded patriots committed to restoring, upholding and defending American values, virtues, principles and ideals as outlined by the Constitution of the United States. Members of the Sons of Liberty actively advance this ideology through political action, financial, educational and emotional support. We are an organization sworn to uphold the traditions and vision of America’s Founding Fathers inasmuch as we deem to effect political candidates for office, form lobbying efforts, promote public demonstrations and speak out against all those who wish to denigrate our beloved country. We stand firmly on the Constitutional precepts that serve as the foundation of a free and prosperous people, regardless of race, religion or gender."


.

On Issues:

Health Care - Defeat. Defund. REPEAL! I reject any notion of government-run health care. More government intervention will only exasperate the problems of access and affordability. Private ownership and individual choice are the keys to real health care finance reform.

We the People - The Founding Fathers knew that the power for self-governance comes from our Creator and is lent to the government by the people through the electoral process. For far to long we have turned that power over to elected officials without holding them accountable for how they use it. That is about to change.

The Constitution ...defines the limits of the federal government’s power and protects our God-given rights. The original intent of the authors will guide my application of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as I seek to roll back the encroachment of government on our liberties.

The Second Amendment ... is not about hunting, it’s about self-defense and liberty. I support an individual’s right to own guns. I oppose national gun registration or other attempts at federal licensing of law abiding gun owners as a violation of the Second Amendment and an invasion of the privacy of honest citizens.

Private Property - I support the right of our citizens to own private property as protected by the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.

Immigration - I support measures to ensure that the immigration system is structured to address the needs of national security. I will work for real border security including a technologically-supported physical fence and oppose any amnesty for illegal immigrants.


Lawsuit abuse reform - I support legal reform to eliminate frivolous lawsuits. “Loser Pays” provisions will protect access to courts by those legitimately harmed while providing the proper incentives to reduce unnecessary lawsuits.

National Security - I oppose Miranda rights and civilian trials for terrorists. Our military and intelligence agents should treat terrorists as unlawful combatants and be able to interrogate and prosecute in Guantanamo or other appropriate military facilities without fear if they follow the time-tested rules of our military system of Justice.

The Tenth Amendment ... It doesn’t really need explanation, just application. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

I like these quotes he has at his campaign website:

"The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution." Ronald Reagan

Fred Thompson on Obama: I'm Concerned Most When His Real Thoughts Come Out



Former Senator Fred Thompson spoke at the Preserving American Liberty “Winning Back America” Conference in Independence, Missouri today. Thompson was asked about Obama’s income– too much. He said he is concerned most when President Obama goes off his TelePrompter and his real thoughts and feelings come out

Question from Darla Jaye, host, 980 KMBZ: How much income is too much, Fred?

Fred Thompson: What does the president make?

Darla Jaye: About five million dollars.

Fred Thompson: Whatever salary he makes, that’s too much for him… This is a guy who’s made several million dollars in the past few years. He’s done two things. He’s during his life. He’s been a community organizer and politician and he’s written two books, both about himself. In all seriousness… sometimes the president gets off script and his true thoughts and feelings come out. He really believes this. That’s what concerns me more than anything else.

Fox News's Megyn Kelly Compares Media Coverage of Tea Parties and Immigration Protests




Fox News's Megyn Kelly Tuesday featured a marvelous comparison of how the media cover Tea Parties versus immigration protests.


ABC News logged dramatically different reports about the ObamaCare protests on Capitol Hill in March and the virtual riots that happened in Arizona after that state's governor signed a strict anti-illegal immigration law last Friday.

The former was depicted as "very ugly" while the latter, despite the number of riot police and arrests, was described as "mostly peaceful."

With this in mind, Kelly invited liberal talk radio host Mark Levine and conservative talk radio host Mike Gallagher to debate the disparity.

LOL Mike Gallagher is good. haha

It is so obvious how one sided news reports are, not only about politics but also about the Tea Parties vs. the protests from the left about anything.

Where was the media when the left protested and had HUGE signs calling for Bush to be killed. Yep we only saw that online more then anywhere in the media and once and awhile at FOX News.

Important Vote On MAY 18th Pennsylvania Murtha's 12th District


LtCol William T. Russell - FOB Midway, Ad-Daluyah Provence - Fall 2004

"I am a conservative. I believe in the sovereignty and security of this one nation, under God. I believe in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception. I believe in marriage between one man and one woman. I believe that all children in our school systems should be educated in English and taught the civic duties and responsibilities of citizenship and patriotism. I believe that we have the responsibility and obligation to control our borders and determine who is allowed to live and work in our country. I believe in private property rights and that the death tax should be killed. I believe government economic policies should reward those who build business or save and invest their money. I believe in the right to bear arms and the right of self defense. I believe in rugged individualism and that no one owes me anything just because I live and breathe. I believe we should all practice charity in some form or fashion, especially to those who are suffering and least fortunate. But charity must be voluntary and spring from a spirit of altruism and love for your neighbor. I believe that imposed systems of wealth redistribution destroy families, produce a culture of dependence and hurt everyone. Finally, I believe there is room to acknowledge the role of our Creator in public life as stated in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution." ---Bill Russell in his own words

United States Congress - Pennsylvania - 12th Congressional District

814-254-4475Location:

P.O. Box 630
Johnstown, PA

Lt. Col Bill Russell had the courage to run for the seat occupied by Jack Murtha, while the man was alive and had the power of the incumbency to fight back. Murtha supervised any number of dirty tricks against Russell and not only did Russell survive, but as an unknown upstart without party support, came within striking distance of winning.


The son of a career military officer, Bill Russell’s “home” addresses spanned some eleven states and seven countries, before settling his own family in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. A fifth generation soldier, he began his military career as an Enlisted man, attended West Point, graduated from Louisiana State University, and earned his commission through Officer Candidate’s School at Fort Benning, Georgia.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Bill and his wife Kasia, pregnant with their second child, were at work at The Pentagon during the terrorist attack. After confirming Kasia’s safety, he joined hundreds of survivors in an unprecedented rescue and recovery operation. Their son was born three months after the attack, becoming the youngest Pentagon survivor of 9-11.

William Russell is endorsed by the Combat Veterans For Congress Pac, which in turn is endorsed by Sarah Palin.


“A staunch conservative, a true American patriot, and he (Bill Russell) deserves your support. If there were ever a time for the grass-roots to come together and help an underdog Republican candidate make a difference, this is it.”
– Syndicated Columnist Michelle Malkin on Bill Russell.




.

And this is Timi Burns also running for the same seat in Congress and the same District.







Candidate Tim Burns on Hannity show


.

Tim Burns for Congress website

And this is Tim Burns page at Facebook.


Tim Burns is running in a special election for the Congressional Seat previously held by liberal John Murtha in Pennsylvania's 12th district. Tim has a slight lead in the polls, and can win this May 18 special election.

Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of their liberal brigade are working hard to replace Murtha with their handpicked anti-liberty candidate.

Tim is a solid conservative who will work tirelessly to stop the government takeover of healthcare, cut wasteful spending, cut taxes and create jobs.




.

Healthcare
Speaker Pelosi and the liberals in Congress just passed an almost trillion dollar healthcare bill that raises taxes, kills jobs, and buries our children in debt. In Congress, I’ll vote to repeal the healthcare bill, and work to pass common sense reforms that lower healthcare costs and improve access to care without hurting the economy.

Energy
Southwestern Pennsylvania contains the solution to the nation’s energy needs. Our coal and natural gas resources will power America and create jobs for the region. In Congress, I’ll work to create jobs in Pennsylvania’s energy industry, fight-off harmful legislation like cap-and-trade, and stop the EPA from killing coal jobs through over regulation.

Government Spending
The current rate of government spending is unsustainable and Washington is doing nothing to address it. The endless government bailouts and handouts need to end and Congress needs to get its fiscal house in order. In Congress, I’ll work to produce a budget that protects the future well-being of our children and grandchildren.

National Defense
America must be vigilant against our enemies. In Congress, I’ll never stop working to keep America safe from terrorists, and will always work to protect and fund our servicemen and women

Transportation and Infrastructure
The transportation needs of Southwestern Pennsylvania have long been neglected. In Congress, I’ll work to reauthorize the expired Surface Transportation Act to fund highway and bridge construction, investing In infrastructure that creates real jobs and grows the economy.

Social Conservative
I am pro-life and believe there is no question that life begins at conception. But, I don’t think saying you are pro-life is good enough. I think we need to provide and encourage viable alternatives to abortion and work to decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies in the first place. I believe that Marriage should be defined as a union between a man and a woman.

Gun Rights
As a lifelong gun owner and member of the NRA, I believe in the 2nd Amendment and Americans right to defend themselves.

Washington Wire

Sarah Palin is wading in to the upcoming House special election to fill the seat of the late Rep. John Murtha with an endorsement of Republican Tim Burns.

In a posting on her Facebook page the former Alaska governor cites Burns’s affinity for the tea party and their mutual love of a certain sport.

“In his spare time, he’s a ‘hockey dad’ coaching his sons’ team. Last year, he attended a local tea party and spoke passionately about the danger that the policies coming out of Washington pose for small business owners like him,” Palin writes.

The Democrat is Mark Critz, a former Murtha aide. Palin casts the race as one that epitomizes the “problem and solution” this election year in voters’ frustration towards Washington. “It’s a race between a career Washington bureaucrat and a small business entrepreneur,” she writes.

The May 18 special election is expected to be close. Vice President Joe Biden campaigned for Critz on Friday.

Wild Thing's comment........

If you live in this District I hope this helps.

Both of these men have a lot of the same things they agree on. I noticed a question at the Facebook page of Russell that said that as well and asked him the question. Below is the question by a man on facebook and Russell's reply:


Richard Lee: "looking at the issues between Tim Burns and William Russell on their respective websites, their issues are very similar (though I really enjoy your support of the FairTax). Why should I pick you, Mr. Russell, instead of Mr. Burns?"


Reply:

Bill Russell The main issue facing the voters in the district is leadership & vision in these tough times and which candidate is the proven conservative leader in the race. Yes, my opponent agrees with me on most issues. But the people of this district need to know their Congressman will stand tough and independent against the corruption and special interests ... See Morein Washington. Although I was not born & raised here, I am the only candidate in this race who stood up to an entrenched 34 year incumbent who falsely accused a local hero (a Haditha Marine from Cannonsburg) of cold blooded murder. I am the only candidate in this race who has been threatened by that same incumbent (specifically to use the power of his office to have me recalled to active duty) and has stayed in the race. I am the only candidate in the race who has consistently stood against the established party machine to represent the people. I will continue to fight for this country and our values just as I have though out my military career and the last three years of campaigning. I hope this will convince you to vote for me. V/R Bill

Liberals and the Violence Card by Rush Limbaugh





Liberals and the Violence Card

Conservative protest is motivated by a love of what America stands for.


The Wall Street Journal

by Rush Limbaugh

The latest liberal meme is to equate skepticism of the Obama administration with a tendency toward violence. That takes me back 15 years ago to the time President Bill Clinton accused "loud and angry voices" on the airwaves (i.e., radio talk-show hosts like me) of having incited Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. What self-serving nonsense. Liberals are perfectly comfortable with antigovernment protest when they're not in power.

From the halls of the Ivy League to the halls of Congress, from the antiwar protests during the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq to the anticapitalist protests during International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings, we're used to seeing leftist malcontents take to the streets. Sometimes they're violent, breaking shop windows with bricks and throwing rocks at police. Sometimes there are arrests. Not all leftists are violent, of course. But most are angry. It's in their DNA. They view the culture as corrupt and capitalism as unjust.

Now the liberals run the government and they're using their power to implement their radical agenda. Mr. Obama and his party believe that the election of November 2008 entitled them to make permanent, "transformational" changes to our society. In just 16 months they've added more than $2 trillion to the national debt, essentially nationalized the health-care system, the student-loan industry, and have their sights set on draconian cap-and-trade regulations on carbon emissions and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Had President Obama campaigned on this agenda, he wouldn't have garnered 30% of the popular vote.

Like the millions of citizens who've peacefully risen up and attended thousands of rallies in protest, I seek nothing more than the preservation of the social contract that undergirds our society. I do not hate the government, as the left does when it is not running it. I love this country. And because I do, I insist that the temporary inhabitants of high political office comply with the Constitution, honor our God-given unalienable rights, and respect our hard-earned private property. For this I am called seditious, among other things, by some of the very people who've condemned this society?

I reject the notion that America is in a well-deserved decline, that she and her citizens are unexceptional. I do not believe America is the problem in the world. I believe America is the solution to the world's problems. I reject a foreign policy that treats our allies like our enemies and our enemies like our allies. I condemn the president traveling the world apologizing for America's great contributions to mankind. And I condemn his soft-pedaling the dangers we face from terrorism. For this I am inciting violence?

Few presidents have sunk so low as Mr. Clinton did with his accusations about Oklahoma City. Last week—on the very day I was contributing to and raising more than $3 million to fight leukemia and lymphoma on my radio program—Mr. Clinton used the 15th anniversary of that horrific day to regurgitate his claims about talk radio.

At a speech delivered last Friday at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C., the former president said: [T]here were a lot of people who were in the business back then of saying that the biggest threat to our liberty and the cause of our domestic economic problem was the federal government itself. And we have to realize that there were others who fueled this both because they agreed with it and because it was in their advantage to do so. . . . We didn't have blog sites back then so the instrument of carrying this forward was basically the right-wing radio talk show hosts and they understand clearly that emotion was more powerful than reason most of the time."

Timothy McVeigh was incensed by the Clinton administration's 1993 siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. It's no coincidence that the bombing took place two years to the day of the Waco siege. McVeigh was not inspired by anything I said or believe and to say otherwise is outright slander. In the aftermath of the bombing, I raised millions of dollars for the children of federal employees killed in that cowardly attack through my association with the Marine Corp Law Enforcement Foundation.

Let me just say it. The Obama/Clinton/media left are comfortable with the unrest in our society today. It allows them to blame and demonize their opponents (doctors, insurance companies, Wall Street, talk radio, Fox News) in order to portray their regime as the great healer of all our ills, thus expanding their power and control over our society.

A clear majority of the American people want no part of this. They instinctively know that the Obama way is not how things get done in this country. They are motivated by love. Not hate, not sedition. They love their country and want to save it from those who do not.




.

Justice Clarence Thomas: We're 'evading' eligibility"




Justice Clarence Thomas: We're 'evading' eligibility

Does testimony hint at division behind Supreme Court's doors?

wnd

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told a House subcommittee that when it comes to determining whether a person born outside the 50 states can serve as U.S. president, the high court is "evading" the issue.

The comments came as part of Thomas' testimony before a House appropriations panel discussing an increase in the Supreme Court's budget earlier this week.

Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., actually raised the question first amid a discussion on racial diversity in the judiciary.

"I'm still waiting for the [court decision] on whether or not a Puerto Rican can run for president of the United States," said Serrano, who was born in the island territory. "That's another issue."

Yet after Serrano questioned him on whether or not the land's highest court would be well-served by a justice who had never been a judge, Thomas not only answered in the affirmative, but also hinted that Serrano would be better off seeking a seat in the Supreme Court than a chair in the Oval Office.

"I'm glad to hear that you don't think there has to be a judge on the Court," said Serrano, "because I'm not a judge; I've never been a judge."
"And you don't have to be born in the United States," said Thomas, referring to the Constitution, which requires the president to be a natural-born citizen but has no such clause for a Supreme Court justice, "so you never have to answer that question."
"Oh really?" asked Serrano. "So you haven't answered the one about whether I can serve as president, but you answer this one?"
"We're evading that one," answered Thomas, referring to questions of presidential eligibility and prompting laughter in the chamber. "We're giving you another option."

A portion of the exchange, captured on video by C-SPAN, can be seen below:





In a polite exchange between Justice Thomas and subcommittee chairman Serrano, the eligibility issue comes up with an apparent admission that the court is avoiding it. Things may not be as they seem though. Much could be read into this... judge for yourself.


.

Serrano opened the hearing by noting the jersey number 42 taped to the platform in honor of black baseball star Jackie Robinson, who 63 years ago this week broke professional baseball's "color barrier" when he took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Serrano also took a moment to honor the Supreme Court's first Hispanic justice, Sonia Sotomayor:

"I'd like to note before we begin this hearing that there has been a change at the Court, which has special meaning to the Court, to the American society in general, and to me personally," Serrano said, "because Sonia Sotomayor comes from the South Bronx, from the area that I represent and the area I grew up in and her parents were born in the same island of Puerto Rico that I was born in."

Though the hearing was specifically called to address the Court's request for an increase in funding, the racial themes continued when Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., took Thomas and the Supreme Court in general to task for not employing more minority clerks and staff.

Thomas, in turn, praised the value of having people of diverse backgrounds, career paths and regions of the country serving in the judiciary and on Supreme Court staff.

Serrano then asked if Supreme Court would do well to have justices that weren't promoted from the appellate courts, but rather came from state courts or even the ranks of elected officials, laying the foundation for the later banter over Serrano as president or justice.

As WND reported, Justice Thomas had previously resurrected a case challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to be president not based on his birthplace, but on whether Obama, a child born to a foreign national and admitting dual citizenship, would still be eligible under the Constitution's Article 2, Section 1 "natural-born citizen" requirement.

Hints of division within the Supreme Court on the issue existed as far back as December 2008, as Justice David H. Souter had initially denied the case a hearing, but Justice Thomas agreed to bring it back for review. The case did not, however, obtain the required approval of four justices to move it forward to a full hearing.

So far, the Supreme Court has not yet heard any case challenging Obama's eligibility on any grounds.


.

Wild Thing's comment.......

I have always like Justice Thomas...and his wife too. His wife goes to the Tea Parties and makes speeches.

Well, regarding the article and video, I think it means that Thomas is pi$$ed that his hands are tied on the natural born question and would like nothing more than to skewer BO on it.

I got the feeling that Thomas was firing a shot across the bow as well. Barbara Lee had been going on and on trying to blame him for the lack of diversity on the court in the 30 minutes prior to the statement. Thomas had tried to explain to her that it wasn’t for the court to decide on the pool of applicants that were submitted to the court for clerkships, etc. and that most members welcomed a diverse pool,etc. Then Serrano gets on his soapbox for several minutes before Thomas shuts them all up with his statement...heh heh LOVE ya Justice Thomas! Thomas knows well our Constitution and he loves and respects it. I think it frustrates him that the eligibility issue is not more prominent in the dominant media and court of public opinion.


I hope Justice Thomas has good personal security. The kind NOT related in anyway to a government payroll. Ditto for Scalia and Roberts.

Obama's Foreign Policy Based On 'Core Philosophy Of Being Anti-American' ~ Oliver North


Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, just recently back in the country after his 21st visit to Iraq and Afghanistan, stopped by Hannity and offered his take on the current tension between the Obama administration and the Israeli government. Asked by Hannity if Obama’s stance has “emboldened America’s enemies" and “shown our weakness,” North responded quite emphatically.




.




Oliver North tells Sean Hannity that Obama's foreign policy is based on a "core philosophy of being Anti-American."

North said Obama is "certainly" emboldening America's enemies, and "he's done that consistently." He said Obama is, "Willing to be obsequious to our adversaries, to denigrate our allies, and essentially to walk away from the only real democracy in that part of the world."

“I just happened to wonder Mr. speaker about the American people looking in this morning to hear Democrats saying they cut taxes more than any other congress in history, let me see if we can do this, they passed a budget with record taxes and spending, add a trillion dollars to the national debt in the next 10 years, they passed a national energy tax called the cap and trade that will cause utility rates to go up…

And we just passed Obamacare with $600 billion of tax increases, (laughs) and they’re standing in front of the American people on the day before tax day, on the day before 10’s of millions of Americans are gonna take to the streets and say enough is enough and expect you to believe they been cutting taxes I think the American people know better…Lets cut taxes across the board, get government out of the way, this economy will come roaring back”

Hannity comes to Florida and interviews Marco Rubio , receives huge welcome from the crowd .


Rubio: "If we stay on this road this President has us on, everything that's made us special and unique is gonna get lost"




.



Wild Thing's comment........


Crist dined with Joe Biden in S. Fla a few weeks ago, he sure does all he can not to win. I am glad, Crist is a rino and Rubio is doing great on the campaign trail.


Below are some of the more important issues facing our country as addressed by Rubio:


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.”


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.”


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.”


On Health Care: See video from his website

Mike Pence got a standing ovation!! Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) delivered one of the most enthusiastically-received speeches. I especially liked the way he closed the speech. He’s a visionary and a leader, inspiring. The Republicans need more people like this who can really articulate the conservative principles.

Pence also joked about both MSNBC and President Obama. Pence said "What a difference a year makes." He proceeded to say that just after his election as President, MSNBC reported that Obama had a "120%" approval rating. He went on to say, "Seriously, Obama had a 65% approval rating in all 57 states."

Jon Voight Reads A Special Message To America About Barack Obama





.

Here is the text of the letter:

"In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration.

The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of.

President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed.

Now the lie goes very deep and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it would be very important that every American knows what that method is. It is a socialistic, Marxist teaching and with it, little by little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremists. The world looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power.

The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women, from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world country.

This will be the first president to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda, against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies.

Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics; they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators. Let us all stay in Gods light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail. God bless us all!"

Mark Levin On Obama's Supreme Court Nominees


Liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens Will Retire In June



Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens retiring


Breitbart

Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, the court’s oldest member and leader of its liberal bloc, says he is retiring. President Barack Obama now has his second high court opening to fill.

Stevens says he will step down when the court finishes its work for the summer in late June or early July.

His announcement Friday in Washington had been hinted at for months. It comes 11 days before his 90th birthday.

Stevens began signaling a possible retirement last summer when he hired just one of his usual complement of four law clerks for the next court term. He acknowledged in several interviews that he was contemplating stepping down and would certainly do so during Obama’s presidency.

The timing of his announcement leaves ample time for the White House to settle on a successor and Senate Democrats, who control 59 votes, to conduct confirmation hearings and a vote. Republicans have not ruled out an attempt to delay confirmation.

The leading candidates to replace Stevens are Solicitor General Elena Kagan, 49, and federal appellate Judges Merrick Garland, 57, and Diane Wood, 59.

Stevens' departure will not change the court's conservative-liberal split because Obama is certain to name a liberal-leaning replacement.




.






Levin makes the point that even though he believes that filibustering of judicial nominees is unconstitutional, he also believes that we must do it to contain the most dictator-like president we’ve ever had. It may also have the reverse effect of forcing the democrats to get rid of the judicial filibuster.

With a stern warning for those still cherish what remains of our freedom, Mark Levin used a portion of Friday’s syndicated radio program to spell out the mission of Obama’s US Supreme Court pick: imposition of dictatorial control over American lives.

While it’s true we don’t yet know which contender will be selected by the regime, Levin believes the mindset of the likely nominee will reflect Obama’s extreme-left ideology.

Do Americans recognize just how different those values are from their own? Or the damage that could be done if Obama successfully installs a fringe radical, as expected?

This video is awesome!!!!



Wild Thing's comment........

Levin is correct: understanding the mindset of America’s Obamist foes is key to undermining their needlessly destructive agenda.

Good riddance Stevens you worthless old liberal coot, the most liberal member of the court.......Shame he'll be replaced by a young liberal, though.


I will never forget the Democrats sinister, totally political rejection of Robert Bork.

I pray Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito stay healthy. God help us - as bad as Stevens is- we can be assured the next one will be a real radical.

Awesome Liz Cheney Says in "Age of Obama" it is "More Dangerous to Be America's Friend than Our Enemy"




Liz Cheneny told the audience at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference that in the “Age of Obama,” it is “more dangerous to be America’s friend than our enemy.”
Liz Cheney pointed to Obama's shabby treatment of Israel to please the Palestinians, and his treatment of Eastern European allies in order to please the Russians.
“The world is safer when their is no daylight between the United States and the State of Israel… And, President Obama is playing a reckless game if he continues down the path of diminishing America’s ties to Israel.


Liz Cheney Lays Into Obama Agenda

Real Clear Politics


NEW ORLEANS

Any Republican in the hotel ballroom who hadn't heard Liz Cheney speak before likely walked away impressed. In a nearly 30-minute speech, the former vice president's daughter laid into the Obama administration over health care, foreign policy and national security, concluding that the country simply deserves better.

"2010 and 2012 are going to be critical years in the long history of this great republic, and we have to make our voices heard," said Cheney. "We have to stand up and fight."
Cheney called the health care reform bill "one of the most arrogant power plays in American history." On national security, she said "someone needs to keep reminding this president that foreign terrorists do not have constitutional rights."
She called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reception in Washington two weeks ago "disgraceful," and said President Obama doesn't understand that "the world is safer when there is no daylight between the United States and the state of Israel."

The speech received rousing ovations during and after, and opened the three-day Southern Republican Leadership Conference.

I am very impressed with Liz Cheney, Everytime she speaks she hits a home run.

I am no fan of Gingrich, his ad with Pelosi sitting on a park bench promoting Global Warming and his speaking out agasint conservaties running in the last State elections did it for me, he has too much rino blood in him now for me to praise him full bore. BUT even a clock as they say is right twice a day or something like that and Gingrich is right in that Obama is the most radical president. One can't be more radical then pushing communism and socialism on a land of the free like America.

Some people I have talked to out and about Obama have said, Obama is stupid and that is why he is putting us in danger, he does not realize what he is doing. It is not out of stupidity that is being pushed! IT IS EVIL, DELIBERATE, INFORMED EVIL!

Obama and the leftists have been putting forth one anti-American, collectivist travesty after another. They are going for broke, from now to November.

Obama has stirred up a great deal of trouble and even other nations are seeing this clearly. Allies are laughing at him...but with a somber note of fear over the loss of our sovereignty and will or not the US help in their time of need. The world is becoming afraid for how Obama is leading...the only ones not are the muslim nations. Obama is pushing too far and even those in his own party are seeing the national unrest...and anger.


Obama is TRULY dangerous!

Rep Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin Held a Massive Rally in Minnesota



Sarah Palin and Rep Michele Bachmann held a massive rally in the Minnesota Convention Center yesterday. Both Bachmann and Palin blasted Obama over his latest fantasy national security decision.

There were thousands of passionate conservatives. T-shirts and banners ("Palin-Bachmann, Our Dream Team."). People coming to the Minneapolis Convention Center at 5:30 in the morning for a 2 p.m. event.

Let's start with the star attractions, Bachmann and Palin. The thousands standing on the concrete floor for hours didn't just like these two, they adored them. Everything about 'em, especially when they ripped into Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or President Obama. The people booed those three with the same gusto they cheered Bachmann and Palin.

It’s nice to see Americans on TV for a change. The Kenyan has no clue what it is like to be a real American. We love our country, and we will fight to keep it the land of the free that thousands and thousands our Veterans and our troops today have sacrificed to bless us with.

Notice how the crowd loves them both. I am very proud of both of them. They’re excellent conservative leaders. They are smart and not afraid to stand up to Obama and his thugs.

Total Nut Case Rep. Alan Grayson Plans to File Complaint Against Anti-Obama Doctor




Alan Grayson: Go "Elsewhere" Doctor is About Race


He is such a liar!

To correct Grayson on his own district’s demographics, “Mount Dora is 75.1% White, 12.3% African American, 0.9% Native American, 3.6% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 5.5% from other races, and 2.4% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race [represent] 12.5% of the population.”




.


Congressman Plans to File Complaint Against Anti-Obama Doctor

FOX News

An outspoken U.S. congressman is planning to file a complaint against the central Florida urologist who posted a sign on his office door warning supporters of President Obama to find a different doctor.

A spokesman for Rep. Alan Grayson, who angered Republicans last year when he said they wanted sick Americans to "die quickly," told FoxNews.com that Florida Democrat is helping a constituent who was affected by the sign to file a complaint next week with the proper authorities. Grayson will also file additional complaints with all relevant boards or agencies, Grayson spokesman Todd Jurkowski said.


Cassell told Fox News on Friday he wasn't refusing care to patients but wanted to educate them on how the new health care law would affect them.

"I came across the timeline for implementation of Obamacare and I got a little discouraged when I got to next year when I found that most of the ancillary services and nursing homes and diagnostic imaging, all these things start to fade away," he told Fox News' Neil Cavuto. "And I felt that my patients really need to know about this. And the more I thought about it, the angrier I got until I finally felt like I'm going to put a little splash page on my front door and just get people thinking a little bit."
Cassell, 56, also provides Republican reading material in the waiting room -- probably not a risky move, given that Mount Dora's 10,000 residents and the surrounding area lean heavily conservative. Above a stack of GOP health care literature, a sign reads: "This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it."

A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way.

"Because there is no statute, there would be no grounds for a complaint," spokeswoman Eulinda Smith said. "It would be legally deficient."

But Grayson appears undeterred, arguing the Cassell has violated the Hippocratic Oath when he turned away patients on the basis of political beliefs.

His spokesman, Jurkowski, told FoxNews.com that at least one person followed the instructions on the sign and there could have been more.

"I think a reasonable person would deemed that being turned away," Jurkowski said.

A University of Florida professor said Cassell is walking a thin line between free speech and professional obligation. William Allen, a specialist in bioethics, law and medical professionalism, said civil rights protections can prevent patient discrimination. But the law only provides for race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and disability -- not political opinion.

Allen said Cassell may be within his rights if he doesn't quiz patients about their politics and hasn't refused to see anyone.

"(He's) trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said. "But this is pushing the limit."

Cassell has been practicing in the area since 1988. His wife, Leslie Campione, is a lawyer and GOP candidate for the county commission.

Cassell told Fox News that most patients have been extremely supportive.

"Ninety eight percent are energized," he said. "And once they read this timeline, they can't believe it. I started out just trying to figure out how to educate my patients but think every doctor in the United States needs to put this in their office."


.


Wild Thing's comment........

Yeah, Gayson. That'll go well, when over and over the doctor said he'd be happy to see anyone, and the sign was a expression of discontent at Obama's DeathCare.


Rep. Alan Grayson is a thug, and he’s about to find out that he doesn’t have as much power as he thinks. This government of the people, by the people, and for the people doesn’t belong to the socialists. It belongs to real Americans, and this doctor is one of us.


A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way

“Because there is no statute, there would be no grounds for a complaint.”


So Grayson will once again look like the total idiot he is.

Awesome Reverend Wayne Perryman: : 'Drama of Obama Regarding Racism'...'Kill The Race Card'


Drama of Obama Regarding Racism


.


Kill the RACE CARD
.



Reverend Wayne Perryman: 'Drama of Obama Regarding Racism'...'Kill The Race Card'...His New Book: 'Blacks, Whites & Racist Democrats: The Untold History of Race and Politics within the Democratic Party from 1792-2009'

Some information about Rev. Perryman:


This is his website


In 1989 Perryman brought together gang leaders from two rival gangs along with Washington State's most powerful Black leaders and politicians to negotiate a truce. That meeting led to the formation of Role Models Unlimited.

In 1993, Perryman challenged major Christian publishers with his research book entitled, The 1993 Trial on the Curse of Ham about the "curse of Ham" - a theory that had existed for over three hundred years. In his book, he proved that the publishers were wrong when they claimed that, according to the Bible, the Black race was cursed. The curse theory was used to justify slavery, establish Jim Crow Laws, and promote racial discrimination.

In 1998 Perryman led a protest against police department profiling in Washington. Perryman had frequently been stopped in his Mercer Island hometown by police claiming his being there was suspicious.[1]

Perryman brought suit against the Democratic Party in the United States District Court in Seattle Case No. CV04-2442 for what he called its history of racism including their support of Jim Crow Laws, slavery, and Black Codes. Perryman has appealed the Court's ruling he lacked standing to bring the case to the US Supreme Court.

In 2004, the Reverend Wayne Perryman, an inner-city minister in Seattle, filed a class action suit – against the Democratic Party for its racist actions. In his 100-page brief, he lists the abuses heaped on black Americans:


* Democrats opposed abolitionist of slavery and Abolitionists
* Democrats supported slavery and fought and gave their lives to expand it
* Democrats supported and passed the Fugitive Slave Laws of 1793 & 1854
* Democrats supported and passed the Missouri Compromise to protect slavery
* Democrats supported and passed the Kansas Nebraska Act to expand slavery
*Democrats supported and backed the Dred Scott Decision (denying citizenship to free blacks in free states)
* Democrats supported and passed Jim Crow Laws
* Democrats opposed the Reconstruction Act of 1867
* Democrats opposed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves
* Democrats opposed the 13th ( to end slavery), 14th (to grant citizenship to blacks) and 15th (give blacks the right to vote) Amendments
* Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1866
* Democrats opposed the Civil Right Act of 1875
* Democrats had it overturned by U.S. Supreme Court
* Democrats opposed the 1957 Civil Rights Acts
* Democrats argued against the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts
* Democrats argued against the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Acts
* Democrats voted against the 1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act
* Democrats supported and backed Judge John Ferguson in the case of Plessy v Ferguson (declared that separate but equal was good enough for blacks)
* Democrats supported the School Board of Topeka Kansas in the case of Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas (overturned Plessy v Ferguson, ending segregation).



.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Awhile back I posted about Rev. Perryman, he is truly a wonderful man and has taken a real stand to get the word out to the Black community especially the true history of Blacks and the Democrat party.

And remember this from Frances Rice, (retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and Chairman of the National Black Republican Association) you all know her, I have posted her writings before.


Written out of our history books are the following facts. The Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party and, after the Civil War, Republicans amended the US Constitution to grant blacks freedom (13th Amendment), citizenship (14th Amendment) and the right to vote (15th Amendment). Republicans then passed the civil rights laws to ensure blacks could exercise their Constitutional rights, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1867 and 1875. After Democrats took control of Congress in 1892, Democrats passed the Repeal Act of 1894 that overturned civil rights legislation enacted by the Republicans. It took Republicans nearly six decades to finally achieve passage of civil rights legislation in the 1950's and 1960's pushed through by Republican Senator Everett Dirksen over the objection of the Democrats.

In addition to their reprehensible record of fighting against civil rights legislation, Democrats have a long history of racial violence.

Tea Party Has HUGE Rally At Searchlight, NV


On CNN they reported on the rally : “At least dozens of people.”


LMAO a dozen??? Hello CNN, your noses are really going to grow after this line of a lie.

See the video below.......




.


Tea Party Express coverage from the ABC station in Las Vegas


Here is aerial video of the Tea Party Express crowd gathered in Sen. Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, Nevada on March 27, 2010. A crowd of between 7,000-8,000 people gathered there to hear Sarah Palin and others kickoff the latest Tea Party Express tour that will stop in 40 cities, ending in Washington, D.C. on April 15, 2010.

Traffic on a highway leading into the town was backed up more than two miles.


.


Andrew Breitbart Describes Harry Reid Supporters on the Attack

Andrew Breitbart witnessed first hand today the cunning manipulation and violence of the unhinged left. Harry Reid supporters stood on Highway 95 outside of Searchlight, Nevada and held signs steering tea party protesters heading to the Tea Party Express Showdown in Searchlight Rally in the wrong direction. Andrew also witnessed these violent leftists attacking the Tea Party Express bus with eggs as it drove by. The Harry Reid supporters then swarmed him, harassed him, threatened him and made false statements to the police.




.


.




Sarah Palin in Searchlight:

“Now when we talk about “fighting” for our country. Let’s clear the air right now on what it is we’re talking about. We’re not inciting violence. Don’t get sucked into the lamestream media’s lies about conservative America’s standing up for freedom as inciting violence. It’s a bunch of bunk what the media is trying to feed you.”


Sarah Palin told thousands of tea party activists assembled in the dusty Nevada desert Saturday that Sen. Harry Reid will have to explain his votes when he comes back to his hometown to campaign.

The wind whipped U.S. flags behind the former Alaska governor as she stood on a makeshift stage, holding a microphone and her notes and speaking to a cheering crowd. She told them Reid, fighting for re-election, is "gambling away our future."

"Someone needs to tell him, this is not a crapshoot," Palin said.

About 7,000 people streamed into tiny Searchlight, a former mining town 60 miles south of Las Vegas, bringing American flags, "Don't Tread on Me" signs and outspoken anger toward Reid, President Barack Obama and the health care overhaul.

Palin told them the big-government, big-debt spending spree of the Senate majority leader, Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is over.

"You're fired!" Palin said.

These rallies are pure Americana .. all ages .. smiles .. grit and fortitude, not hired busloads of slugs and bodies in rented doctor gowns. The stark divide in this country is truly disturbing.

I just pray there are elections .. and before the illegals and felons are given voting rights.

Heh heh the population of Searchlight is something like 500 people.... can you just imagine having about 8,000 people arrive for TEA Time. giggle......love it.

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter Remarks On the Democrats Control Of Our Lives With Obamacare



Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), the great conservative thinker and orator, delivered these remarks following the Democratic takeover of the health care industry:


Representative McCotter on the democratic takeover of the health care industry:

“So this is what change looks like? I would remind the president that he is not the leader of a party or ideology. He is the leader of our country, one founded not to humiliate others but to inspire the world. As families lose their jobs, their homes and their dreams for their children; as our troops fight and sacrifice in foreign fields for our liberty and security, President Obama’s obsessive-compulsive pursuit of an abominable government takeover of health care has defied the public’s objections and spoiled this House and further alienated Americans from their representative government. As President Obama’s campaign mantra of hope and change has degenerated into tax and hate…”

Limbaugh yesterday playing a clip of a man in North Carolina who was asked how he felt about the passage of ObamaCare. The man responded, "It's going to be like Christmas!"

As the number of doctors decrease, and the number of patients increase leading up to full implementation of ObamaCare in 2014, and we all have much longer waits to see the doctor or to have tests / procedures done, somehow I don't think "it's going to be like Christmas."

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.

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

Las Vegas Sun

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. “

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.

He loved America and served as Nixon's Chief of Staff (Whitehouse) and Reagans's Secretary of State. Those jobs are currently held by Rahm "Dead fish" Emanuel and Hillary Clinton. No wonder our country is in the state it is.

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."

Wild Thing's comment........

Mike Pence is so great. I really like him. He led the way on Drill here Drill now and so many other things. He has never been a rino.

Bush "Miss Me Yet" Merchandise HOT Item At Cafe Press





Bush “Miss Me Yet?” merchandise is selling like hotcakes online.

CBS

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.

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."

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.

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

A Tribute and Remembering President Ronald Reagan


The music is from the Gods and Generals soundtrack.



Saturday, Feb 6, would have marked President Reagan's 99th birthday. And being that it was almost 30 years ago he was elected president.

The American Thinker


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.)

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





rasmussenreports.com

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.

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



The REVOLUTION


Tea Partiers Go Big With Fundraising Campaign to Rival MoveOn.org

By Jake Gibson


FOXNews.com

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

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"

Democrats Continue to Ignore the Will of the American People

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'





J.D. Hayworth: 'Time For (McCain) to Come Home'

Townhall

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


FOXNews.com

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

http://twitpic.com/ytrbx



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


US Magazine

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.

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.

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"


.

Michele Bachmann was on Sean Hannity and they discussed what happened.

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.

Radio Equalizer

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.

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.

FOX News

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 and daughter Ayla Brown with Doug Flutie and Curt Shilling


.

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.

Transcript

"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



This picture sums up the Coakley campaign.

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.

It’s not the first time they’ve filed charges…..

The Scott Brown Campaign filed charges against the SEIU in December.


FOX Boston


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

Ayla Brown ‘completely offended’ by Martha Coakley’s attack


Boston Herald

“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

Boston Herald

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


FOXNews.com


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




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'

Politico

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


Radar online

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.

Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized With Chest Pains and Now Resting! ~ Prayers For ElRushbo!





Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized With Chest Pains!

KTTV.com


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'

Politico


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.



Politico

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





Weekly Standard

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."




Florida Senate Candidate Marco Rubio on what he wants to bring to the Sunshine State.


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

The European Union Times


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)

Denver.Post

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



Michele Bachmann at the 934th Airlift Wing Deployment Ceremony


Bachmann has a target on her back

The left's attack machine is already grinding away with TV ads.

Minneapolis Star Tribune

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

">

Glenn Beck Interviewed by My Fox Orlando



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

Ocala.com

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 .

FOX News reported:

As Sarah Palin blankets the media on a whirlwind book promotion tour, the former vice-presidential contender is clearly back on America’s radar screen. 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. 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.
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.
Thank you very much. “

Doug Hoffman: ACORN and the Unions Will Not Have Their Way!





Doug Hoffman: ACORN and the Unions Will Not Have Their Way!


Facebook

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!


The Gouverneur Times

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!!!



Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West on Fox & Friends last week


*** 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.

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.

.


Wild Thing's comment.......

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


Houston Chronicle


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.

Lone Star Times

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






.



CNN: Rush Limbaugh's Controversial Push To Buy NFL Team


Rick Sanchez of CNN Ran Over a Man Then Fled the Scene. Two Hours Later, Sanchez Was Still Drunk.

Red State Blog


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.

Congresswoman Jackson Lee Ask NFL To Put Ownership Standards In Place

The Hill

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

Review Journal Las Vegas


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

cbs4.com

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.

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



AUDIO: Marco Rubio on The Laura Ingraham Show



Rubio vs. the RINOs

Human Events

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

wnd


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.




Wild Thing's comment.......

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: Principles are not Negotiable



Marco Rubio vs. Charlie Crist. The Rocky Balboa fight of politics.


The Examiner

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

from his website


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.”

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







WASHINGTON

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




The Politico

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

Washington Post

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.


Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio, TX He said that he was really sorry he hadn’t brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who don’t bow to the party line.



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.

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.

Declaring that "Government Waste Has Got To Go!", the Hampton Roads Tea Party rolled out its porta-potty protest. Tea Party Patriots loaded "named" johns onto their pickups and trailers and toured Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.

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

Daily Mail.co.uk

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."


Michelle Malkin's blog also has an estimiate of 2 million as well.

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.

According to Obama's mouthpiece Robert Gibbs, "I don't know who these people are".

Sept.12th March on Washington D.C. Begins At Walter Reed on 9-11 As It Should!



Thousands of conservative activists will arrive in Washington, D.C., today for the Taxpayer March to protest government spending under the Obama administration.

Speakers at Saturday’s rally include: Dick Armey of FreedomWorks, as well as GOP Reps. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Mike Pence of Indiana, Tom Price of Georgia, and South Carolina GOP Sen. Jim DeMint. “As far as I know this is the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives in history,” says FreedomWorks spokesman Adam Brandon.

FOX News will be covering it today.

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

Illinois Review


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.


.

Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill. pictured leaving as President Barack Obama delivered a speech on health care to a joint session of Congress


Shimkus walked on Obama: 'Frustrated'

The Swamp

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.

FOX News

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

Virginia Democrat Congressman Jim Moran unbelievably demanding that a man at a Town Hall Meeting show his I.D. before he would allow him to ask a question. The crowd went crazy, as the man told Moran "You're the Imposter!" and "Let's me see your I.D."

Moran looked at the man's I.D. and then told him to "Ask your question."

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

Weekly Standard

"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?

FOX News

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'

wnd

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

Vote Jesse Kelly 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."


.

Jesse Kelly on the American Dream
Speaking about his 7 month old son, James...... " he does not have full use of all his motor skills yet but he is in debt up to his eyeballs." ( regarding the American dream)

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




.


Wild Thing's comment........

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

Wilson County News.com

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......



website

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.......

Beware the Counterrevolution




Beware the Counterrevolution

American Thinker

By Andrew Thomas

The left is already telegraphing its strategy to discredit the town hall movement. Conservatives must wise up and use a little jiujitsu of our own.

It is important to note from the start that the struggle between liberty and socialism will never end, at least not in our lifetimes. If by chance it does, it will be because evil has triumphed. As long as people are free to make their own choices, some of those choices will always be for self-destruction or slavery (moral masochism). That is just the nature of human beings. However, once the slavery of socialism is self-imposed through trickery or stealth, there are no more choices. That is the weakness of a free people. The weakness of socialism is that it cannot be revealed for what it truly is until it is too late to stop it. Like all things evil, it cannot stand the light of day.


The reason I say that the struggle will never end is that no matter how many times it is beaten back, the socialist left keeps returning. It is relentless. When their evil intent is revealed, the leftists retreat and then re-package it in different wrapping paper. Socialized medicine becomes Hillarycare becomes ObamaCare. Healthcare is a right for everyone, they say. Who would dare oppose that? Environmentalism becomes global warming becomes climate change. Who could be against saving the planet? The weakness of a free people is exploited.


The problem for these strategies is that once people have had a chance to examine the packages, they are discovering that they are Trojan horses. They do not save the planet nor provide quality healthcare for all Americans. Their sole purpose is to dramatically expand the power of the government over its citizens, providing the potential for complete enslavement.


Americans are finally waking up to this fact, albeit almost too late. They are angry. They have been misled. Surprising the socialist left with their ferocity, they are storming into town hall meetings and confronting their dishonest legislative representatives. Hypocrisy is being exposed. We have taken the high ground and are on the offensive. Is it time to high-five each other and celebrate our victory?


Au contraire, mon frère (as George Carlin would say). We are facing the most ruthless and power-hungry government in American history. They have the most effective and dedicated propaganda arm the world has ever known, i.e. the misnomered "mainstream" media. They are changing the face of America surreptitiously through an unelected and completely uncontrolled group of leftist radicals (including an avowed Communist) known as "Czars". Congress has been relegated to the status of "useful idiots". The government commands the powerful thuggish shadow armies of ACORN and SEIU, with the intent of forcibly drafting millions of our kids, brainwashing them, and inducting them into a third shadow army, AmeriCorps.


Do you really believe that the next elections in 2010 and particularly 2012 will be the solution to the current socialist infestation? Do you think that people who are as addicted to power as Obama, Emmanuel, and Axelrod will passively accept their ouster in a fair general election? After fighting the good fight, will they gracefully withdraw from power?


This administration currently controls the census, which can initiate creation of additional congressional districts in liberal areas of the country based on their populations as counted by leftist community organizers. The left dominates election committees and polling volunteers. If they decide to sabotage voting machines or vote tabulation software or servers, who will provide the oversight to prevent them from doing so? They run the largest organized voter fraud organization in the world (except for perhaps Iran) a.k.a. ACORN. Who knows what "October surprises" they have planned? Will we see the New Black Panther Party more actively menacing voters at the polls, since the Obama administration refuses to prosecute this voter intimidation?


Leftists do not see election fraud or other dirty tactics as illegal, immoral, or unethical. This is because the socialist agenda is for the good of the nation, a noble cause to promote and protect at any cost. In other words, the ends justify the means. In the final analysis, it is difficult to predict what they are capable of. The rules don't apply to them. We can only study the actions of other socialist leaders such as Lenin, Stalin, Castro, and Chavez, and make assumptions.


Not so confident now, are you? In reading the comments sections of American Thinker and other conservative websites, you can observe that the anger of the commenters is palpable and rising. People feel trapped and threatened. The natural temptation to turn to violence must be resisted.


Violence is the very tactic that the left is prepared for. The Southern Poverty Law Center released a report several days ago indicating that right-wing militias and hate groups are on the rise and threatening insurrection.

This is essentially a recycled article that is trotted out by the SPLC with each new presidential administration, citing many of the same tired anecdotal examples such as Ruby Ridge and Waco's Branch Davidians as evidence of growing violence.

The only thing new in the piece is blaming the supposed increase in extremist activity on alleged racism toward a black president. No evidence to support this contention was presented, however. Nonetheless, many news outlets, including Associated Press and CBS News, picked up the story and sensationalized it. A quote from the article states, "All it's lacking is a spark". All that is missing in this leftist wishful fantasy is another Timothy McVeigh. If he doesn't show up on his own, someone may create him. They would love nothing better than capturing a group of violent "right-wing crazies" on video committing some atrocity.

However it's done, the entire right side of the political spectrum will be implicated, tarred with the same brush. The goal will be to shut down all dissent through intimidation, justified by righteously proclaiming a war on domestic terrorism. Conservative conversation will be squelched as "hate speech". Talk radio, internet blogs, Fox News commentators, Tea Parties, and any other conservative outlets of communication or assembly will be forcibly eliminated under the guise of protecting public safety. The "mainstream" media will joyfully cooperate in this endeavor, and anyone identified as a conservative politician will be vilified and transformed into an instant pariah. Game over, they win.

What is the answer? I like to use the karate analogy. There are two styles of karate, hard and soft. Hard karate is employed by the more powerful fighter, using his size and strength like a bull to overwhelm his opponent. In soft karate, the fighter uses the opponent's size and strength against him. It is more stealthy and graceful. It is the matador. The opponent is defeated by finesse rather than brute force.

We need to study the weaknesses of our opponents, and capitalize on their mistakes (and there are currently many). The Obama administration is tripped up when they accidently reveal their true agenda. These mistakes need to be "picked, frozen, and personalized" (Alinsky's rule #12).

Another example is the "Obama Joker" poster that mysteriously appeared around LA and elsewhere. It was a very clever and creative means of passive resistance that delivered a powerful message. Although, as Sonia Sotomayor says, I don't endorse this tactic.

That's great, you may say, but there's really no way I can personally apply the soft karate method to the fight against American socialism. Again, au contraire, mon frère. There is a golden opportunity rapidly approaching for us to peacefully assemble in massive numbers and demonstrate our resolve to oppose the pure evil of socialist enslavement.

It is the 09.12.09 March on Washington.

This is perfect timing, as the Senate will potentially be voting on Obamacare later in September. In a truly Orwellian move, Obama is scheduled to make a major announcement concerning expansion of AmeriCorps on September 11.

I will be there, and I hope to see thousands of other American Thinker fans there, as well.

Wild Thing's comment......

The good news is that we have finally started to punch back.

Edmund Burke, before the British Parliament way back in March 1775, observed the colonists' fierce "spirit of liberty." He said:

"In other countries the people . . . judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle." He said Americans could detect "misgovernment at a distance and sniff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze."
James Madison put it this way, "The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much, soo to forget it."

Excellent article! Individual freedom, and The Republic that guarantees it, have been at risk from the very beginning, hence the incessant warnings by the Founding Fathers. Socialism hiding under the guise of "liberalism" has made many advances, but it can't claim total victory yet. This stage of the struggle is much like the Battle of the Bulge in WWII...the bad guys have made huge advances, but the tankbusters have begun to strike, and the enemy is facing the reality that they've outrun their fuel supplies. As long as we hold it together, and don't do anything stupid, we will win. The elections of 2010 and 2012 are in sight. Just as insane legislation can be passed, it can be overturned and thrown into the ash heap. And it will be.




......Thank you Eddy Burke for the link to this article.

Awesome Must See Video for Those That Love America ~ Obama Is Not Invited!




.


Wild Thing's comment.......

I cried watching this video, it is excellent. Obama awakened the sleeping giant.

I am very proud and moved seeing all the American citizens standing up and fighting for their individual rights and freedoms that we have enjoyed for over 200 years. I have never been PROUDER of the citizens of my country.

In the face of the present administration's attempts to crush political dissent, create a soft tyranny of government control, the American spirit, their love for freedom and personal liberty, is alive and well. We are not about to stand idly by and watch our beloved country go down the drain. Oh no....you can see it, hear it, smell it...you can taste it too and it is sweet It’s the aroma of pride the citizens of this country are feeling and...we are tasting the strength and determination to preserve all of the above that those Town Hallers and those before them and those fighting now are experiencing.


God bless America.

Bold, Conservative Bachmann Hints at 'Mrs. President' Future



Bold, conservative Bachmann hints at 'Mrs. President' future

Says many colleagues still believe in 'founding principles we share'

wnd

She began her political career simply, as a Christian mom concerned about the content of school papers her children brought home in their backpacks, but today she has become one of the leading defenders of liberty and conservative principles on Capitol Hill.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., laughs at her humble start in politics.

"I attended my caucus, not intending to run for office," Bachmann told WND. "I had on jeans and a sweatshirt with a hole in it and tennis shoes. But the people said, 'Michele, you need to run,' and I did."

Bachmann went on to beat out Minnesota's longest-sitting state senator in the 2000 Republican primary and then defeated her Democratic opponent in the general election. Six years later, she overcame millions of dollars in Democrat campaign spending to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, and, in an exclusive interview with WND, Bachmann hinted her underdog campaigns may even lead to the White House.

Bachmann, a federal tax litigation attorney before serving in elected office, told WND that she is "first and foremost a mother." In the late 90s, the mother of five and foster mom to another 23 children through the years, grew concerned about what her foster kids were bringing home from the public school.

"Through the Goals 2000 program, the federal government was pushing knowledge, facts and information out of classroom study, substituting them with a study of attitudes, values and beliefs," she said, "but not necessarily the values that moms and dads would like."

Using her background as an attorney, she investigated the federal Goals 2000 contracts between Minnesota and the local school districts.

"I discovered that the federal government had effectively federalized all our local public school classrooms," she said. "We were losing local school authority."

Bachmann then began a campaign to stir Minnesota's parents at a grassroots level to repeal the federal Goals 2000 standards, succeeding to become the only state at the time to reject the federal foray into education and replace it with state standards.

Shortly thereafter parents asked her to run for office, and she's been battling big government ever since.

"I started my career in politics believing the federal government should not have a role in the classroom," Bachmann told WND. "Going forward, we have to pare back dramatically the size, scope and reach of the federal government. It's extending its hand over almost every area and aspect of people's lives, and that needs to come back if we are to remain free and prosperous. We can't be free and prosperous if we go in the direction we're heading."

When asked to describe her political convictions, Bachmann responded, "Before party, I'm a conservative first.

"I believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of result, and that's the big dividing line between liberals and conservatives," she said. "Conservatives believe that each individual is important and deserves protection of their inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
"These rights come from our creator," she continued, "Government neither gives them nor does government have the power to take them away. … I believe my job as a member of Congress is to secure those inalienable rights.
"The heart and soul of who we are as a nation is in the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution is the framework for how we uphold those rights; and the Bill of Rights goes on to secure those rights to the individual, protecting individual rights from big government," she said.



A conservative in socialism's court

Bachmann also took time during her interview with WND to blast three areas of massive government expansion that have been proposed over the last several years, even faulting fellow Republicans for the bailouts under President Bush:

"I voted against the bailout, and I worked feverishly within my own caucus, begging, urging Republicans not to vote for it," she said. "That was a big mistake Republicans made on the bailout last fall. It laid the groundwork for the slide toward socialism that we've seen since."

Nonetheless, Bachmann pledges she's got more fighting to do, particularly against Obama's proposed cap-and-trade system for regulating energy use.

"My number one goal is to make sure that the left is not successful in passing their 'global warming' tax," she told WND. "I want to see the United States be producers again, and to do that we need to change our tax environment and open up American energy resources."

Bachmann also had harsh words for Obama's proposed health care reform.

"Over the weekend, I read a 1986 book – 'Destroying Democracy' by James T. Bennett and Thomas J. Dilorenzo – that talked about ACORN's agenda, and it was as fresh as everything President Obama has been advancing since he took office," she said. "Complete nationalization of health care, energy tax, government taking over the economy – now that we have 'bailout nation,' the U.S. government owns or controls 30 percent of the American economy. If Obama gets his way and effectively nationalizes 18 percent of the nation's wealth in healthcare, that will put 48 percent of our economy controlled or owned by the federal economy. That's outlandish.

"Americans gave got to melt the phone lines of the Democrats on the health care bill," she continued. "If the president gets his way with nationalized health care, it will be almost impossible to ever turn it back and restore to us our freedom."




Catching heat for her convictions

Bachmann's determination to defend individual rights from an ever-expanding federal government, however, has sometimes led her out of the mainstream among Washington's powerful elites to take unusual stands on issues she sees as an affront to personal liberty.

WND reported, for example, on Bachmann's charge against the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which will begin a ban on incandescent light bulbs over the next few years, requiring Americans to purchase only compact fluorescent bulbs.

"Most Americans, if you ask them, have no idea that the government has already made a choice for them," Bachmann said in a televised MSNBC interview. "The government has substituted its choice for the American consumer's choice."

WND also reported on Bachmann's defense of the dollar standard and opposition to a global currency.

Bachmann has also taken public stances against abortion, same-sex marriage, Obama's plans for expansion of public service under the federal AmeriCorps program and the questions on the 2010 Census, which she contends are invasive. Bachmann pledged in a Washington Times interview that when census workers come knocking, she will answer only the question about the number of people in residence, "because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."

To Bachmann, light bulbs, the census and the dollar standard are issues simply because liberty is at stake. To her detractors and political opponents, however, her unorthodox stances are fuel for ridicule.

Bachmann has been labeled across the Internet as "kooky," MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has named her to his "World's Worst" list, and, according to Bachmann, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has named Bachmann one of her top eight targets to get rid of in the next election.

The ire has grown so fierce, Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity refers to Bachmann as "the second most hated Republican woman" (after Sarah Palin).

Bachmann, however, is not surprised by the criticism.

"In some ways, it's an honor, because it means that I must be effective. Otherwise, they'd be ignoring me," Bachmann told WND. "The other side seems to have two tricks that they pull out of their bag: the Republican is stupid, or the Republican is crazy. … It's straight out of Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals': they identify their target, then try to marginalize their target."

Bachmann explained much of the ridicule she endures is because powerful women with conservative views don't fit liberals' desired image.

"I'm not afraid to be a social or fiscal conservative, and that doesn't fit their template," she told WND. "Democrats see women as yet one more dependency group, but I defy that. I don't need government programs to succeed. I worked my way through college, my husband and I started our own business, and we didn't need the government to be the answer.
"I also think they're upset that I'm willing to go on radio and TV shows and call them out on their policies," she continued. "They've thrown just about everything they can throw at me and they haven't prevailed yet, and I think that infuriates them."

Hope for the likeminded?

In the wake of tea party protests, where many fiscal conservatives have blasted Republicans and Democrats alike for supporting federal bailouts, WND asked Bachmann if those who agree with her principles can still look to her party for leadership.

"After the election of 2006, when I was sworn in in 2007," Bachmann replied, "I was expecting a fairly liberal group of people in Congress. But that's not what I found. I have been pleasantly surprised by a number of my colleagues, who believe in the founding principles we share.
"Three years ago, the Republican Party had overspent and had been a part of the problem of enhancing the power of government over the power of the individual," she continued. "And I think the GOP got the comeuppance it deserved at that point in that it had lost fidelity to its founding principles.
"What I have seen birthed out of the hardship of the elections in 2006 and 2008, however, is a winnowing of that mindset that caused the Republican Party to lose so badly," she said. "There is still a remnant, a strong fighting element in the House Republican Caucus that is more in line with the principles of, say, Mark Levin's 'Liberty and Tyranny' then they are with the principles that cause the GOP to lose."

Finally, WND asked Bachmann if she could see a day when the candidate who began her political career in jeans and a holey sweatshirt would one day run for the presidency.

"If I felt that's what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it," she answered. "When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard.
"If I am called to serve in that realm I would serve," she concluded, "but if I am not called, I wouldn't do it."



Wild Thing's comment.......

We all have commented how we like Sarah Palin, Liz Cheney and also Michele Bachmann. I think it is so wonderful that all three of them are conservatives and there is a real chance for our country to get strong again.

Can already sense the Bachmann Derangement Syndrome that would erupt, to compliment the Palin strain.. from two attractive pro-life pro-country mothers... the left have never seen this in their party before. LOL Love it.
I would love to have a whole list, add Liz Cheney to it too and then some of the men and just keep building a rock solid base of conservatives and tell the rino's to shove it. Start our government all over from the Constitution and those that respect it, not just study it.


Just something I was thinking about, how all this madness with Obama and his destroying our country, it is the one last chance for the conservatives to take the lead. Rino's can't they don't qualilfy, it can only be up to Conservatives to save the day , to save our country!!

Tah dah!

Love This Story About President Ronald Reagan






.

This from the book: “In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect"


Ronald Reagan received Secret Service protection for the first time when he ran unsuccessfully for the GOP presidential nomination in 1976. One day as he was preparing to drive from his Los Angeles home to his ranch near Santa Barbara, an agent noticed that he was wearing a gun and asked what it was for.

“Well, just in case you guys can’t do the job, I can help out,” Reagan replied.

Years later, he confided to an agent that on his first presidential trip to the Soviet Union in May 1988, he had carried a gun in his briefcase.

Nancy Pelosi, Hoyer: Freedom of speech 'simply un-American'


Some congressional leaders apparently have a problem with freedom of speech these days. In an op-ed piece published in USA Today, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer are calling townhall distruptions "simply un-American."





GOP Rep. Mike Pence Says Pelosi / Hoyer "Un-American" Op-Ed Will Not Silence Americans

GOP Rep. Mike Pence reacted to the op-ed written for USA Today by Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer that characterized anti-ObamaCare Protesters as "un-American."

Pence said he does not believe this will silence Americans. Instead, it will only make Americans more determined to be heard on this issue.

"We believe it is healthy for such a historic effort to be subject to so much scrutiny and debate," wrote Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Hoyer (D-Md.).

"However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue."

"These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views--but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is "simply un-American."

It's worrisome that there are representatives who wish to quash the voices of the American people by labeling them 'un-American'. The public isn't drowing out the facts-they are pointing them out-something Obamacrats refuse to do. Although there have been a few bad apple town halls, the majority have been peaceful and none were violent until the White House asked Democrats to 'punch back twice as hard' in an attempt to stamp out part of the First Amendment. Combine that with an administration that requests supporters to report fellow citizens in opposition to Obamacare and tensions rise.




Wild Thing's comment.......

I have never heard a single democrat criticize Code Pink.

They disrupted congressional hearings. They disrupted the Republican convention with a pass given to them by a dem media sympathizer.

They disrupted Bush’s inauguration speech with a pass given by a dem congresscreature.

They raised money and donated a check for over $600,000.00 and delivered it to the Al-queada.

They have had signs made to use at their protests that say..."Kill your officers" when they protest agasint our troops.

They destroy property at Marine and Army recruiting centers.

And the list goes on about Code Pink and NO democrat has ever, not once said a negative thing about them. John Murtha and others have even done photo ops with the Code Pinik leaders.

But when it comes to Conservatives it is a different matter. Conservatives that don't do any of the things I mentioned that Code Pink has done.

A Day in the Life of a Right-Wing Extremist


A Day in the Life of a Right-Wing Extremist

by Moxie

:00 AM:
Crawl out of bed, go downstairs and hit the “on” switch for my Anger Manufacturing Plant, located conveniently in the basement — right next to my wine cellar.

9:10 AM:
Sign a few five-figure checks from the big drug and insurance companies and instruct Consuela to go deposit them in my bank account.

9:30 AM:
Go back to sleep with my life-sized Founding Fathers dolls, dream of freedom from the socialist Obama regime.

10:00 AM:
Wake up due to the noise created by the lawn crew with their jobs, and work on the astroturf. Smile and realize how much this must anger liberals.

10:05 AM:
Crawl over the 1,000 printed pages of the ObamaCare bill and yell at the lawn boys. Tell them to hurry because we will begin drilling for oil in the yard, any minute now.

12 PM:
Wake up again. The drilling has begun in my backyard. Consuela is crying because she found an oil coated baby seal beached by the koi pond.

12:05 PM:
Retrieve the baby seal for processing in the Anger Manufacturing Plant.

1:10 PM:
Prank call Princess Pelosi’s cellphone, suggesting new and innovative ways she might want to alter her face using “green technology” and stimulus dollars.

1:15 PM:
Let the shower run for a long time until the water is good and hot. Turn up the central air and open a few windows because it’s a bit too steamy in the bathroom.

1:45 PM:
Call other right-wing extremists, find out if they want to be extreme today, (they do) and set up a meeting at the range.

2:05 PM:
My driver takes me to target practice in the Hummer. While cruising on the freeway, toss 500 Obama Joker posters out the window. Laugh maniacally.

3:29: PM:
Rifle through my closet and discover I mainly have clothing that would give me away as “well dressed” and therefore a highly paid lackey of the blogs, drug companies and insurance giants.

4:00 PM:
Visit the local Goodwill store to find sloppy clothing, such that a liberal might wear.

4:00-5:00 PM:
Spend time in the Moxtopia business office, boxing and preparing my manufactured anger for shipment to various extremist elements on the east coast.

5:15 PM:
Receive instructions from my contact at the drug company for tomorrow’s Town Hall Meeting.

5:18 PM:
Tell him I am doubling my rate and prefer to be paid in cash. Tax dollars kill babies through abortion, I remind him. And babies need drugs too.

5:50 PM:
Purchase a second Hummer using “Cash for Clunkers”. Just in case the first is out of gas.

6:00 PM:
Make a “Wise Latina” joke to Consuela, while snitching on myself to flag@whitehouse.gov, detailing my own “fishy” ideas about ObamaCare.

6:59 PM:
Recognize people all over the world are still suffering from socialism and communism.

7:01 PM:
Wonder if any in the Obama regime might be convinced — in the interest of fixing the fake global warming catastrophe – to melt down and recycle the iron fist of communism, because capitalism is a much more efficient manner of making sure everyone has money.

7:50 PM:
Realize the iron fist of communism will remain intact and sitting on the mantel in the flag@whitehouse.gov office.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Moxie did a GREAT job. hahahaha

It is so specail being a right wing extremist. Look how loved we are. We hit the jackpot being on the DHS list, I mean not everyone can be on it. That beats having our name in lights anyday. And now we are to be watched and what we say reported in to that fishy thang'. Could it get any better then that? Obama wringing his hands, and even behaving like the dictator he wants to be telling us to shut up that he does not want to hear from us. Do you think he meant US really??? Or his mother -in-law that lives with him.

God bless America and long live right wingers, conservatives and the Amercia we know and love.

Actress Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

(Also there are more photos at my other post as well )

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."
I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ‘What is our president doing? How unclassy!’ But Obama does it and no one says anything," Harmon said.

And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.

"I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me."

However Harmon is definitely in the Hollywood minority when it comes to her criticism of Obama as other lasses at the Latisse party were quick to advocate their unequivocal support

RNC Routes Angry Phone Calls to DNC ~ LMAO Awesome!


RNC Routes Angry Phone Calls to DNC


Political Wire

Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting angry telephone calls coming into their switchboard to the Democratic National Committee, CNN reports.

"The DNC released a Web video early in the morning accusing the GOP of inciting mob activity at town hall meetings. At the end of the video, the DNC instructs people to call the Republican National Committee to express outrage. Callers who dial the RNC's main number to voice their concern about the DNC's charges are told to press 1, which sends them to the DNC's main switchboard."

The Washington Independent reports RNC Chairman Michael Steele took full credit for the phone prank.

This is the ad from the DNC that the RNC is responding too...........





.



Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL I love it, what a marvelous idea. Wow and it was Michael Steele that thoguht of it.

The complaints should go to the group that put that video out, the DNC. hahahahaha

I love it. Why couldn’t these boneheads have been playing hardball for the past 8 years instead of playing kissyface, make nice?

What a Difference To Have a Real President That LOVES America (Video)



President Reagan delivered his first inaugural address on January 20, 1981.


Around the 10:00 spot President Reagan says "Those who say we are in a time where there are no heroes..."
You can see he is holding back tears.

Wild Thing's comment........

Just for a moment in time, to be able to hear once again a real President with such a great love for America. He knew how America worked and what made it special. I thought you might like to hear this. It makes ones heart proud and that sure feels good.

GOP New Ad ~ "I'm Not a Doctor, But I Play One on TV"





"Like the old joke goes, President Obama isn't a doctor, but he plays one on TV -- giving Americans a discomforting glimpse of life under ObamaCare, with government leaders and bureaucrats dispensing medical opinions that are better left to doctors, medical professionals, and patients," said House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH). "This is a lighthearted video, but it underscores a serious point that Congressional Democrats are going to hear throughout August as they travel outside of Washington: Americans want lower health care costs not a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care that increases costs and lets Washington bureaucrats make decisions that should be made by doctors and patients."




Wild Thing's comment.......

At first I thought it was a bit lame. After I watched it 3 times it was more effective each time. The droning, repeating “I am not a doctor .. “ is classic. Bam sounds like a complete idiot with his examples.

Funny, they take that old commerical from the 80's and make Obama the "know it all" Doctor.

John Boehner can't stand the Libs, another reason why I like this guy. heh heh

Town Hall Meetings One with Muslim Keith Ellison and One in Texas With Doggett



This Town Hall with Muslim Keith Ellison was held at the "wellness center" in north Mineapolis


.

Lloyd Doggett's meeting on Obamacare in south Austin, TX



Doggett says he’s more resolved than ever to pass a health-care plan

The Austin American-Statesman

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, fresh off a rousing neighborhood meeting on health-care reform that ended with people chanting “just say no,” said this morning he’s more resolved than ever to seek congressional approval of health-care reforms.

The Austin Democrat said people who attended the gathering Saturday morning at a South Austin grocery store first heard him talk about why he favors change and then he took questions. Doggett said he subsequently said he wanted to talk one on one with crowd members interested in other issues, but that proved impossible because of deafening chants of “just say no.”

It was the din, Doggett said, that encouraged him to depart for a community event in Bastrop, where he said some in the Austin crowd followed. Later, he said, a few people opposed to Democratic health-care proposals showed up at a Democratic Party event in Bastrop.

Doggett said of his stop at the grocery store: “It wasn’t as if I wouldn’t listen and respond. They had their say; they just went a little too far.”

Separately, Doggett issued this statement today about Saturday’s event:

"This mob, sent by the local Republican and Libertarian parties, did not come just to be heard, but to deny others the right to be heard. And this appears to be part of a coordinated, nationwide effort. What could be more appropriate for the “party of no” than having its stalwarts drowning out the voices of their neighbors by screaming 'just say no!' Their fanatical insistence on repealing Social Security and Medicare is not just about halting health care reform but rolling back 75 years of progress. I am more committed than ever to win approval of legislation to offer more individual choice to access affordable health care. An effective public plan is essential to achieve that goal."


.


Wild Thing's comment.......

He’s from Austin. I understand it’s not actually part of Texas.heh heh

And the one with Ellison, in another video that had horrible audio, Ellison was asked about killing of Seniors and Keith Ellison said....well we all are going to die someday.What a horrible answer and how cold. Yes we are all going to die one day but what is the rush.

I hope this shows the democrats that they are going to lose every single state house and every close congressional race.

Lib lady caller on Rush today was saying that Michael Wolff reported on MSNBC that our groups were organized, being bussed to the town halls, (acting like the Democrats and Acorn nuts .. LOL) and she was implying how deceptive that was for the Pubbies.

Arlen Specter Urges That We "Do This Fast" ~ Crowd Yells Back



Fox just played a great video of this event!!!




.

Town Hall metting with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Senator Arlen Specter at the National Constitution Center in Philly on August 2nd, 2009.

Close to 1,000 people showed up for Arlen Specter and Kathleen Sebilius' Obamacare Town Hall. ACORN and SEIU had their drones there. ACORN continues to embarass itself by exploiting amputees and handicapped people to further their cause. It was actually very sad to see because you felt bad for them because of their misfortune and you also felt bad for them because they were totally unaware that they were merely props for ACORN to exploit.



In Philadelphia, Kathleen Sebelius and Arlen Specter get an earful (the YouTube user who posted the video calls the protesters “crazies.” You’re going to get a lot of that. Just carry on):



"How Can You Manage Health Care When You Can't Manage Cash For Clunkers?



Wild Thing's comment.......

"We, the People" must be equipped to distinguish and between the principles that would keep America free and prosperous and the false premises that will enslave her, as well as able to articulate them. Accommodating tyranny by failing to call it what it is is dangerous. We need a leader whose words are strong and courageous and based in the principles of our Declaration of Independence.

The people who founded America were not so "dumbed down." Hear two of them:

"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle [usurpation of power] and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much . . . to forget it." - James Madison
" . . . nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the penshioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, lusury, foppery, selfishness, meanness and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams

Today, even with all modern means of communication, too many Americans possess little understanding of threats to their liberty and, thus, risk losing it to charlatans whose only goal is power.

Our Founding Fathers did all they could so we would NOT have Kings running our country. Yet. as we look around what do we see. Obama most certainly behaving like a King and not only Obama but far too many elected leaders from our States as well.

A Must See ~ Part of the Puzzle





Attorney Orly Taitz filed a NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION to Expedite authentication, MOTION for Issuance of Letters Rogatory for authenticity of Kenyan birth certificate filed by Plaintiff Alan Keyes PhD.

PLEASE CLICK ON THE TWO LINKS I HAVE POSTED......VERY IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION. ~ Thank you Wild Thing


.

Barry's Kenyan Birth Certificate??

You can use the Zoom in + at the bottom.....

The Kenyan BC is supposedly a certified copy issued in 1964 of an entry recorded in the Birth Registry of Mombasa Province, Book 44B Page 5733. It says he was born August 4, 1961, at Coast Hospital at Mombasa, Kenya


.


Special Motion for leave

Scroll down the document and you will see Hillary Clinton's name throughout



As I read the filing, the purpose it seems is to seek proof that this copy can be verified as real .. that’s why all
the Kenyan and UK resources are noted. Look at the list of plaintiffs ... a mile long.

Interesting they state the Book and Page of the Registrar’s records ithat has to be very significant. Along with the fact that the birth was ENTERED on August 5th, 1961. If he was born in iHawaii , how did they accomplish that in Kenya on the next day in 1961?




,

Wild Thing's comment.......

This is HUGE. I sure hope this is a big part of more proof. It seems like it to me, but I am not a lawyer.

Orly needs to get this document into the hands of some expert doc examiners to verify its authenticity, I would think.

Maybe she’s already done that. We’ll have to wait to hear the story of how she came by this, chain of custody, etc.

Interesting that the only signature on it is from a deputy registrar.

The document is also called a “Certified Copy of Registration of Birth”. It’s still not a birth certificate.

Notice that there is a reference below to “the Birth Register”, with this entry being recorded in “Book 44B, Page 5733.”

This appears to be a Kenyan version of a COLB. No doctor listed, or attending nurses or physicians, no birth particulars, etc. Very similar to the Hawaiian COLB.

Overall, is as good or better than the jpeg image of the Hawaiian COLB, and the FactCheck photos of the “same”.

I think the revelation of this Kenyan COLB is going to stoke the fire on the bc issue in the coming week.

The “Given under My Hand and Seal of Office this 17th day of February, 1964”? Someone apparently obtained a copy, in 1964. It looks like this is a COPY of the original. The Obama divorce took place in 1964 which could be a reason for a the birth registration to be produced. The reason for the 1964 date needs to be addressed. Where were they and why did they need a copy of the birth certificate in 1964?

Obviously this copy was generated in order to do something or go somewhere.....pre-school, Little League, out of the country for a passport....??
The new Constitution of the Republic of Kenya was very explicit about who would be a citizen of the new nation... and it is very possible that a child born to a Kenyan national married to a non-Kenyan mother now living outside of Kenya would need proof of Kenyan birth in Kenya before 12/12/1963 to establish that paternal relationship AND birth right. That would be a very important reason to seek and obtain a certification of the recorded birth in Kenyan territory. They called themselves "The Republic of Kenya", it's in their December 12, 1963 ratified constitution.


I am just throwing some thoughts out there as I think about what this is.

The nice thing about this document is that it makes reference to the location of a specific original birth record in the provincial birth register: Book 44B, Page 5733.

Well one thing for sure, this sure is interesting. hahaha

I named this an offbeat title for this post. The Attorney Orly Taitz website was hacked awhile back so I want to be careful what I name the birth certificate posts from now on. It is getting more intense about this and it is important to be able to keep posting about it when there is new information.

Obama’s Motorcade Being Booed in Raleigh ~ GOOD For Them!


Obama's Motorcade going to Releigh Town Hall Meeting, hundreds of protestors 4 blocks long............


Protest at Obama's Town Hall Meeting in Raleigh. Moveon.org had a very small group, Americans Patriots were in the hundreds as Obama drove right by all of them. Obama just looked straight ahead when he passed us, he looked kind of angry



AP Reports 'More Than 200 Protesters' at Obama Bristol, Va. Town Hall


Following on the hundreds who protested Barack Obama this morning in Raleigh, the Associated Press reports several hundred protesters were gathered in Bristol, Virginia as of 3:16 p.m. for the scheduled 4 p.m. Obama town hall meeting at a Kroger grocery store:

A crowd of more than 200 protesters opposed to President Obama's health care overhaul have gathered outside a Kroger supermarket in Bristol, Va., awaiting the president's arrival for a town hall meeting.

Some held signs reading, "Obamacare is political malpractice" and "Keep your hands off my health care."

The Wednesday protest drew people from the tri-state region of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

The Roanoake Times reports a pro-Obama rally was organized by the leftist labor union SEIU:

A few blocks from the Kroger a group of supports shared their concerns with the current health care system and reasons why they are urging for an overhaul of the nation’s health care system.

Sponsored by the Service Employees International Union, the rally sought to emphasize the hardship health care premiums have placed on small businesses. It also highlighted the problems Virginians face in paying for prescription drugs.

The Times also reported on the anti-Obama protesters:

Protesters were also waiting for Obama’s arrival.

“We’ll be here until the president sees us,” said Katie Hughes, 18 of Kingsport, Tenn. “It makes me mad. I mean this could mean our grandparents won’t be taken care of.”

The largest group of protesters gathered outside the Kroger parking lot.

Rho Griffin and her husband Blake drove down from Roanoke to tell the president to keep his hands off their health care.

Great job tri-state tea partiers!

Obama’s first military order :

The first order from America’s new commander is that the Marines must not return enemy fire for fear of killing an Afghan non-combatant.
ABC Correspondent Mike Boettcher, who is embedded with Golf Company, reports that the young Marines, when ambushed by Taliban forces with automatic weapons, were ordered to shoulder their rifles. Their command, Boettcher writes, warned them that “one civilian casualty could negate the No. 1 objective of this operation – - winning the trust and respect of the farmers of the Helmand River Valley.”

GOD help the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Air Men in harms way with Obama as CIC. They have two enemies, their CIC and the terrorists.

Awesome Sen. Jim DeMint Stands By His Saying "Obama's Waterloo"



This graphic is from Rush Limbaughs website. It is just soooo perfect! Thank you Rush!


.


Sen. Jim DeMint calls defeating Obama like Waterloo

"If we're able to stop Obama on [health care reform], it will be his Waterloo. It will break him and we will show that we can, along with the American people, begin to push those freedom solutions that work in every area of our society."


Sen. Jim DeMint: Obama "On A Rampage, We've Got To Stop Him"

"He's been on a rampage to take over various parts of our economy," DeMint said. "We've got to stop him... I'm serious."



RUSH Limbaugh:

Obama is already failing. He is in the process of failing and failing big. He is failing the United States. He is failing our country. He is failing our economy. He, in his mind, is succeeding. This is what people still don't get. What's happened as a result of his policies is exactly what was intended. There is no sane person in the world who would implement policies like this if their objective was economic growth and prosperity. You would only do what they are doing and then double down on it if your intent is to remake it, destroy it, and put it back together in a way that we won't recognize.
Obama is mad that his presidency might be destroyed. We heard this from Charles Grassley who quotes a member of the House, saying that, "Democrats in Congress could destroy my presidency." And that's what makes him mad. See, he doesn't care if he destroys private insurance companies. He doesn't care if he destroys the automobile industry. He doesn't care if he destroys elements of the private sector. He doesn't care if millions of jobs are destroyed, but, boy, let's start talking about his presidency being destroyed, and now we got some anger and now we got some motivation. And the motivation Rahm Emanuel and the Democrats and Obama are in today is saving his presidency. It's not about giving you health care. It's not about doing anything for you. What have they done for you?

Add to that how they are destroying our country on every level in all ways.

It Looks Like Iran - But It's Obama's Administration Here in America



Television ad that highlights recent press accounts that sound more like they are out of Iran than the U.S. But truth be told they are actually accounts of Barack Obama's (and his administration's) failures and poor policy decisions.



We're under assault from liberals in Congress who have gone on a spending spree to the tune of over $10 trillion. Taxpayer-funded bailouts have been passed against our consent. Taxes are being raised. And now the Obama Administration is warning law enforcement to focus their attention on the dangers of conservatives.

Obama Orders Review of Alleged Slayings of Taliban During Bush Era vs. Horse Soldiers



Obama orders review of alleged slayings of Taliban in Bush era

CNN

Obama has ordered national security officials to look into allegations that the Bush administration resisted efforts to investigate a CIA-backed Afghan warlord over the killings of hundreds of Taliban prisoners in 2001.

"The indications that this had not been properly investigated just recently was brought to my attention," Obama told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview during the president's visit to Ghana. The full interview will air 10 p.m. Monday, tonight.
"So what I've asked my national security team to do is to collect the facts for me that are known, and we'll probably make a decision in terms of how to approach it once we have all of the facts gathered up," Obama said.

The inquiry stems from the deaths of at least 1,000 Taliban prisoners who had surrendered to the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance in late 2001.

The fighters were in the custody of troops led by Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, a prominent Afghan warlord who has served as chief of staff of the country's post-Taliban army.

Dostum, a former communist union boss and militia leader who fought against the U.S.-backed mujahedeen in the 1980s, is known for switching sides as Afghanistan's political conflict has evolved. When the United States invaded Afghanistan after the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, Dostum sided with the Americans and received military and CIA support to battle the Taliban.

At the time, the Boston, Massachusetts-based group Physicians for Human Rights said it found a mass grave in nearby Dasht-e Leili, where witnesses said the bodies of Taliban prisoners were buried. The finding prompted U.S. Gen. Tommy Franks, who led the invasion of Afghanistan, to support an investigation into the allegations.

But The New York Times, citing government officials and human rights organizations, reported Friday that the Bush administration "repeatedly discouraged efforts to investigate the episode."
When asked by CNN about whether Obama would support an investigation, the president replied, "I think that, you know, there are responsibilities that all nations have, even in war. And if it appears that our conduct in some way supported violations of laws of war, then I think that, you know, we have to know about that."


If you have read Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan you will be outraged by the statement that Obama intends to investigate the actions of General Dostum in the death of 1,000 Taliban prisoners, while also investigating the Bush administrations unwillingness to press charges of some sort at the time.

You may not know, but Dostum is a colorful General in the Northern Alliance, working on various sides of various issues and often for himself, as warlords do. This event is with respect to the prison riot that erupted after the Taliban started to collapse in the fall of 2001. That is the prison riot where an American CIA agent was killed by the Taliban prisoners.

For background, a small team of US special forces and CIA agents went into Afghanistan in the fall of 2001, right after 9-11 and teamed with what was left of the northern alliance (Dostum and others) to take down the Taliban. They fought against the Taliban in some of the most unconventional ways - taking on Taliban Tanks while Dostum's guys and CIA were on horse back, calling in JDAM GPS guided weapons from B52s built in the 60's, using a satellite hand held radio. Special Forces, CIA, and the Northern Alliance did what the Russians had failed to do, take over Afghanistan. And they did it in months.

Franks and others had wanted to delay 6 months and deploy 50k-100k troops to do what these guys accomplished in a short time before winter came. Under the Franks plan thousands more would have died, on both sides.

The Horse Soldiers, as they were called, exhibited the best traits, true American spirit, working closely and respectfully with local leaders like Dostum to adapt to the regional realities. The book contrasts the success in Afghanistan to the difficulties in Iraq, where our policies were less integrated with regional politics and realities. Afghanistan and taught us that working with marginal characters like Dostum is a lesson in respecting others. Isn't it Obama that keeps telling us to think about other people and their cultures? I suspect the Bush team understood that, and that's why Bush did not investigate the deaths related to the prison riot in greater detail.

So the prison story goes a bit like this...

There are two types of Taliban, Afghan and non Afghan. When an Afghan Taliban gives up he pledges allegiance to the Northern Alliance, and won't switch sides unless there is some other lost battle. The non Afghan Taliban will never surrender. So, Dostum beat the hell out of a key Taliban leader on the battle field. The Taliban surrendered. So Dostum had to take the radicalized non-Afghan Taliban and stick them in a prison (Because its easy to find a prision for 1,000 people in the middle of a bombed out country). The Afghan Taliban were all let go after pledging allegiance to Dostum. Well it appears, this surrender was actually a ploy of sorts. The non-afghan Taliban prisioners all kept their weapons (long story, read the book). And after some time staged an uprising to take over the prision. Dostum was not fully prepared. His troops shot their machine guns from the prison turrets and killed hundreds of prisioners, but they kept coming. The Taliban had no intention of surrendeirng. The fight lasted several days. Ultimately they had the last of the Taliban cornered in a lower level, pooring kerosene in to burn them out. When that did not work they redirected an irrigation system to flood them out. Something like 35, of more than 1,000 killed, were still alive and surrendered. One of those was that jerk John Walker Lynn.

This was a war. Dostum is a questionable character, but in a Jack Bauer kind of way. Hell Jack was probably there.

More importantly, if you listen to the guys who were in the book, you get a much better insight into what wars of the future might be like and how we need to work with local factions to achieve victory without putting 100k troops at risk. This is a dumb investigation. It works against the the lessons from the battle. Some things should just never be investigated. There is no way to judge the actions of someone in the battlefield 8 years after the fact. And for those that talk about civil rights, what about the rights of the 10,000 troops that would have died through a conventional American invasion?

I suspect there are other reasons for the investigation, as a matter of fact all the new investigations (Dostum, CIA, unwarranted this or that). If your poll numbers start going down, take on the the other guy (Bush) and start blaming him. Economy not doing well, can't blame Bush its the Obama plan. But you can go after Bush about war Crimes.

Wild Thing's comment......

Obama has lost what little mind he has if he’s even thinking of a prosecution about this. Obama to stir up a “war crimes” is bad enough and WRONG, then add in that the surge he just ordered has just begun and our brave men are dying over there mostly because of his ROE not to shoot at the Taliban if one civilian could be hit. When we know the Taliban hide behind them, dress in Burqas and hide among children and in homes of civilians. He is also giving the Taliban a morale boost and some propganda support on top of that!

With declining poll numbers threatening his governmental take over of our country and all of it's citizens lives, he props himself the only way he knows how, which is by attacking President Bush. And he chooses to villainize and stigmatize the one group of Americans he and Bill Ayers so jealously hate...our precious U.S. Military.

Obama doesn't have a clue what war is, what our military go through, sacrifice, put up with, are in danger every second 24/7. Not a clue!!! This would fall under his BIGGEDT apology ever in the sickest way possible. Next Obama will be calling for NATIONAL Day of Mourning for fallen Taliban by U.S. Forces. And what the hell is wrong with killing the Taliban anyway!

Dostum may be a questionable character, but he, the CIA, and our awesome Special Ops guys did what had to be done. This investigation is nothing but cover for the Obama Admin.


The fall of the Taliban government in Kabul to the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan was a fantastic achievement for our Special Forces, Bush /Cheney ( I still think Cheney had a lot to do with it in the background he is a take no prisoner kind of guy) and Rumsfeld.

The media was doing their propaganda machine on it and mostly only wanted to point out they still did not get Bin Laden.

Democrats Trying To Protect Pelosi's Lies Go After Dick Cheney





Dick Cheney kept Congress in dark over CIA counterterrorism action

Intelligence officials reveal former US vice president ordered hushing up of plan


AP


The former US vice president Dick Cheney directed the CIA not to inform Congress about a counterterrorism programme that the CIA director, Leon Panetta, ended last month, according to revelations by US intelligence officials.

The programme, the nature of which is not known, was set up eight years ago after the 9/11 attacks, reported the New York Times, citing a former intelligence official and another government official familiar with Panetta's briefing to the House and Senate intelligence committees on 24 June.

Upon learning of the programme a day earlier from within the CIA, Panetta terminated it and called an emergency meeting with the committees the following day. He told them the programme had existed but had now been cancelled.

Cheney played a central role in overseeing the Bush administration's surveillance programme. Last week, an inspectors' general report noted that Cheney's chief of staff, David Addington, personally decided who in Bush's inner circle could know about the secret initiative.

Revelations about Cheney's role in making decisions for the CIA on whether or not to notify Congress came as a surprise to some on the committees, said another government official who, like the other sources, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the issue in public.

The nature of the counterterrorism plan remains a mystery. The former intelligence official said it was not related to the CIA's rendition, interrogation and detention programme. Nor was it part of a wider classified electronic surveillance programme.

The official characterised it as an embryonic intelligence-gathering effort, that was only sporadically active. He said it was set up to yield information that would be used to conduct a secret mission or missions in another country, but it never matured to that point.

The two sources said Congress had not been briefed about other CIA activities.




Wild Thing's comment.......

Now Panetta and Democrats in an effort to protect liar liar Nancy pants are on fire want to blab about this. This is another sloppy attempt to provide cover for Pelosi and her tribe.

They have to attack Cheney because of his rising popularity. And why on earth would anyone trust the Rats in Congress with protecting any secrets involving national defense...?

Obama is sinking in the polls, unemployment is HIGH, Obama's ROE for our troops is getting more of our troops killed every day, people are waking to what a socialist, communist Obama is, the list goes on and on so of course they have to go after Cheney.

Pelosi and the other dems are famous for leaking information to the New York Times and Cheney was supposed to trust them with information that would endanger all of our lives when legally he id not have to tell them squat.

I say God bless Dick Cheney and thank you sir for your wisdom then and now about these low lifes in government.

Tea Party Southfork Ranch Dallas, Texas.........Tom thank you for telling me about Southfork Ranch








Dallas Morning News

More than 25,000 attend Southfork Ranch tea party, organizer says. An estimated crowd of 25,000 to 35,000 people attended the Independence Day tea party at Southfork Ranch on Saturday, one organizer said.

While the official figures haven’t been tallied yet, Debbie Meyers said the bulk of the crowd arrived after 7:30 p.m. to avoid the heat of the day. The temperature reached a high of 101 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

“I was standing on the stage and couldn’t see the end of the people,” said Meyers


And this from Michelle Malkin blog. Michelle Malkin was at the Southfork Ranch Tea Party.

I returned from the Dallas Tea Party this weekend inspired and motivated by the massive turnout of citizen activists. The official county estimate of the day-long event’s crowd: 37,000!
The Tea Party organizers aren’t surprised by the MSM games of lowballing numbers. And they are not letting it distract them from their agenda. Behind the scenes, they are mobilizing and organizing their troops; connecting political newcomers and old hands; and working hard down at the local level to restore conservative values and principles in their city councils and state legislatures. These efforts won’t make front-page headlines or the cable news. But they will yield dividends for all of us in the form of candidates, initiatives, and reforms driven by the grass-roots instead of the Beltway establishment.

Tea Parties Counterattack "bad guys on bad mission"


'We're gonna be in a state of socialism here if we don't stop this nonsense'

Independence Day is upon us, and the Tea Party Patriots have over 800 events planned all across the nation! From events expecting thousands of people, like Tulare, California, and Dallas, Texas, to small town parades across the nation, the Tea Party Patriots will be out in force celebrating the birth of the greatest nation on earth.

From Ketchikan, Alaska, to Fishkill, New York; from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Sioux Falls, South Dakota; from Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi to Kihei, Hawaii, and hundreds of other locations spanning every great state of this nation, we will be out in force at Fourth of July parades, tea parties, and fireworks displays. From the country fair, to mega celebrations in the cities, the Tea Party Patriots will be present.


West Palm Beach, Fla., were typical of the angst vented against recent government action.

Fort Lauderdale Tea Party protesters declare: End 'fiscal lunacy'

A hearse with a sign on the window reading "born free but taxed to death" drives past protesters lined up in front of the Federal Courthouse on Broward Blvd. This was one of many Republican-led protests against taxes, modeled after the Boston Tea Party (in spirit, anyway; there are no ships of tea to unload) demonstration against taxes keyed to the holiday. (Mike Stocker, Sun Sentinel / July 4, 2009)

Organizers estimated that the last such protest in Fort Lauderdale, held in April, drew about 5,000 people.

Initially Saturday's demonstration in Fort Lauderdale was going to be held in a park, but lack of permits shifted the rally to Broward Boulevard, in front of the federal courthouse.
Under a blazing sun, the crowd chanted, "USA.'' Some wore T-shirts with messages like "Obama: How you like him now?'' and "Send Barry back to Kenya.''
Republican Allen West, who unsuccessfully challenged Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Klein last year, gave a speech promising to help win seats in 2010 and 2012 and put the country back on a more conservative course.
"For Fourth of July it's really remarkable that people would stand out in the heat to express their distrust of our government,'' said radio host Joyce Kaufman on WFTL, AM 850.

.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Many Americans from coast-to-coast turned Independence Day 2009 into a "counterattack" against what they call the high-spending, freedom-shrinking policies of President Barack Obama and members of Congress, irrespective of party affiliation.


.

Approximately 1,000 people turned out in this affluent region for an evening featuring brief speeches and hundreds of homemade signs.


.


Yesterday's event attracted participants of all ages, including Jenna Wessels, 18, of Fort Lauderdale, and her 19-year-old sister, Katie. They and their father, David Wessels, were inspired to take part in two South Florida tea parties the same day.
America needs to wake up and realize what's going on with our country," Jenna said.
"They're not going to be able to afford anything after they get taxed," added Katie. "Our generation is going to be even more in debt than they already are."



Val Anderson of Lake Worth, Fla., said he showed up to protest "the excessive, obscene government spending."
Referring to higher taxes on the way, he sported a suggestive sign reading, "Bend over, here it comes."

Boehner, Westmoreland Unveil “Bloodhounds” Video Asking: Where Are the Jobs?




WASHINGTON, D.C. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today released a new YouTube video targeting the failure of Washington Democrats trillion-dollar stimulus bill and asking where are the jobs? The tongue-in-cheek web video, inspired by a classic 1984 TV commercial by now-Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), features a job-sniffing GOP bloodhound named Ellie Mae and a down-home voiceover by Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA).

This is a lighthearted web video, but the underlying point is no laughing matter, Boehner said. At a time when Americans are looking to Washington for leadership, the trillion-dollar stimulus has been a wasteful failure. Americans were promised the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate from going above eight percent. Its now at 9.4 percent, and rising. Where are the jobs?

In the video, job-sniffing bloodhounds follow the stimulus money trail across the nation in search of the millions of jobs the Obama Administration promised to save or create if the trillion-dollar spending bill were enacted. The trail takes them to AIG Headquarters in New York City, where stimulus funds were used to pay big bonuses to top executives; to Wisconsin, where stimulus funds are paying for repairs to a bridge that reportedly carries about 260 cars per day, many to a place called Rustys Backwater Saloon, according to a June 16 report in the Wall Street Journal; and to North Carolina, where stimulus funds were reportedly used by one town to hire a new worker whose job is to apply for more stimulus funds from Washington.

A real stimulus would help small businesses across America get back on their feet and create jobs. Washington hasnt tried that yet. Instead weve made government bigger, wasted taxpayers money, and piled new debt on our children and grandchildren, Boehner said. Republicans have put forth a better solution a plan that recognizes small business, not government, is the engine of the American economy. We hope Washington Democrats will work with us in the months ahead to make it a reality.

Bush Gets 6 Standing Ovations on July 4th in Okla.


In Crystal Beach Park Arena in the small rural town of Woodward, Oklahoma, population 12,000, the Freedom Ring 2009 festival was held. 9,200 tickets were sold. The organizers said that 14,000 enthusiastic supporters attended the event, and it was standing room only for President Bush's address to the crowd.






WOODWARD, Okla.

AP

Former President George W. Bush spoke amid thunderous applause in a rural Oklahoma town to celebrate the Fourth of July, calling the U.S. the ''greatest nation on the face of the earth.''

Bush was given six standing ovations as he spoke Saturday inside a remodeled rodeo arena in Woodward, a town of about 12,000 residents in northwest Oklahoma. About 9,200 tickets were sold for the event, which would be the biggest crowd for Bush since he left office in January.

''Patriotism comes in all different kinds of forms,'' he said. ''Freedom is beautiful, freedom is precious, freedom must always be defended.''
Bush spoke of the bravery of injured soldiers he'd met throughout his presidency, and thanked members of the military for their service. He also thanked spectators for giving ''a retired guy something to do.''

Obama Supporters Shut Down Atlanta July 4th Tea party BUT LOOK.......



This was the ATLANTA TEA PARTY on April 15th.

Sean Hannity at the Atlanta Tea Party in Atlanta, GA | April 15th, 2009. Sean Hannity from Fox News at the tea party in Atlanta, GA where a police estimate declares 20,000+ people showed up for the event. Of course, the liberal medias of CNN and MSNBC don't want you to hear this, which is why they're reporting that only dozens of people showed up! Sean Hannity helped rocked Atlanta for this tax day tea party.


Obama supporters shut down Atlanta tea party

Wait until days before event to object to 'political' nature

Obama may restrict his reaction to the nationwide tea party movement whereby tens of thousands of people are objecting to the spending spree on which the U.S. government has embarked under his leadership, but some of his supporters are taking more direct action: using an easement agreement to cancel a July 4th event scheduled on private property in Atlanta.

There, organizers had been working since March with officials to set up the tea party event in a parking lot of an old Macy's building at Gwinnett Place Mall, owned by Simon Properties Group.

Then only days ago, mall officials objected, giving organizers no opportunity to find a replacement location and no choice but to cancel.

From American Thinker

"With as many as 20,000 people in attendance, the Atlanta Tea Party on April 15 was one of the largest and most successful Tea Parties in the country. The Atlanta Tea Party on July 4, 2009 had been expected to be just as large. Unfortunately, plans have changed. Simon Property Group has forced the cancellation of the Atlanta Tea Party.
The Atlanta Tea Party was forced to cancel its Independence Day celebration in Gwinnett, after losing its location due to the objection of Gwinnett Place Mall (a Simon company.) The Tea Party had been scheduled to take place in the parking lot of the old Macy's building at Gwinnett Place since March.

"It is unfortunate the event had to be canceled," said Julianne Thompson, event co-organizer.

She continued, "The old Macy's building is on private property, and not owned by Simon Malls, however the mall manager asked the property owner and [me] to come in the office on Thursday of this week, and told us Simon does not want political events on its property. They were also concerned about the fact we were using the term 'protest.' Although the event was on private property, the mall was able to assert authority on the matter due to reciprocal property easement agreements."

Added Lee, "With just a few days left until the Fourth of July Tea Parties begin, this is very unfortunate timing! One wonders why Simon Property Group waited until now to interfere."

But he also connected the dots for those who really wonder:

Gwinnett Place Mall shut down the Atlanta Tea Party.

Simon Property Group owns Gwinnett Place Mall.

Melvin Simon (a Forbes 400 billionaire) is co-chairman of Simon Property Group, Inc.

Melvin Simon has provided large political contributions to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Franken, John Edwards, the DNC and many other Democrats and Democrat organizations.

Melvin Simon was a major contributor to Barack Obama's inaugural committee and has given at least $1 million to the William J. Clinton foundation.

Melvin's wife, Bren, personally donated almost $100,000 to various political candidates, was a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential bid and contributed to President Obama's inaugural committee.

Obama and his people can go jump in a lake, he is the slime of the earth! Glenn Beck said Simon not only was a supporter of Obama, but his wife was on the inauguration team.

God bless these people, this is what America is about it really is. The left wants to silence us, the left wants to take our FREEDOM away, they want to steal from us, from all Americans to pay for things that won't even help our own country, they steal companies from people like they did the car dealerships that were connected to Republicans and the list goes on and on and on way too long to list.

One thing they cannot steal unless we let them and that is the true American spirit, the love we have for Freedom and we WILL fighit to keep it.

Rep. Michele Bachmann Vows Not to Complete Census



.


AUDIO only ..................Bachmann Breaks The Law: I Won't Fill Out My Census Form




Minn. lawmaker vows not to complete Census

Washington Times

Outspoken Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann says she's so worried that information from next year's national census will be abused that she will refuse to fill out anything more than the number of people in her household.

In an interview Wednesday morning with The Washington Times "America's Morning News," Mrs. Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, said the questions have become "very intricate, very personal" and she also fears ACORN, the community organizing group that came under fire for its voter registration efforts last year, will be part of the Census Bureau's door-to-door information collection efforts.
"I know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home," she said. "We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."

Shelly Lowe, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Census Bureau, said Mrs. Bachmann is "misreading" the law.

Mrs. Bachmann said she's worried about the involvement of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, in next year's census.

"They will be in charge of going door to door and collecting data from the American public," she said. "This is very concerning."

ACORN has applied to help recruit workers to help conduct the census. Republican lawmakers and some public interest groups have expressed concern over their involvement.


ACORN staffers have ben indicted in several states on charges of voter registration fraud stemming from the organization's efforts to register voters last year.


Mrs. Bachmann, who is in her second term in the House, has become a lightning rod for criticism from Democrats and liberal talk show hosts for her unapologetic conservative views.

She said she considers that "a badge of honor."
"It's clear when a person speaks out against those policies they become a target, and that should be concerning to everyone," she said.



Wild Thing's comment.......

I really like Rep. Michele Bachmann she has always taken a stand on things and has never showed weakness against the left. She is very impressive, I wish she was my Rep. here in Florida. Thank the Lord He gives us people with visible profiles who are not afraid to take a stand.


This is so weird, I have never had anyone ask me about this, come to my door or send me anything in the mail. LOL

I was born in America, in Illinois, and lived in America all my life. haha I wonder how I missed this.


Here is a PDF file titled : Answers to Common Questions Submitted by Constituents

YIKES look at # 10 on the list in the PDF file:

10) What are the penalties if I do not respond to the survey? Both Title 13 and Title 18, United States Code, provide for monetary penalties for failure to respond. Title 18, U.S.C., Section 3551, et seq., the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, establishes uniform penalties for all federal crimes. Title 13 U.S.C., Section 221, makes it a misdemeanor to refuse or willfully neglect to complete the questionnaire or answer questions posed by census takers and imposes a fine of not more than $100. This fine is changed by the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 from $100 to not more than $5,000. The Census Bureau is not a prosecuting agency. Failure to provide information is not likely to result in a fine. The Census Bureau staff work to achieve cooperation and high response rates by helping the public understand that responding to the ACS is a matter of civic responsibility, and prefers to encourage participation in this manner rather than prosecution.

Bush Takes Swipes at Obama Policies



President George W. Bush speaks at the Manufacturers & Business Association's 104th annual event in Erie, Pa., Wednesday, June 17, 2009


The Washington Times

ERIE, Pa.

Former President George W. Bush fired a salvo at President Obama on Wednesday, asserting his administration's interrogation policies were within the law, declaring the private sector not government will fix the economy and rejecting the nationalization of health care.

"I know it's going to be the private sector that leads this country out of the current economic times we're in," the former president said to applause from members of a local business group. "You can spend your money better than the government can spend your money."

Repeatedly in his hourlong speech and question-and-answer session, Mr. Bush said he would not directly criticize the new president, who has moved to take over financial institutions and several large corporations. Several times, however, he took direct aim at Obama policies as he defended his own during eight years in office.

"Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States," he said to huge cheers.

Mr. Bush weighed in on some of the most pressing issues of the day: the election in Iran, the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, and his administration's interrogation policies of terrorists held there and elsewhere. The former president has not commented on Mr. Obama's decision to ban "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding, which the current president has called "off course" and "based on fear."

"The way I decided to address the problem was twofold: One, use every technique and tool within the law to bring terrorists to justice before they strike again," he said, adding that the country needs to stay on offense, not defense. On Guantanamo, which while in office Mr. Bush said he wanted to close, the former president was diplomatic.
"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," he said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."

The Obama administration has started to clear out some of the more than 200 detainees at the facility.

Repeating a mantra from his presidency, he called the current war against terrorism an "ideological conflict," asserting that in the long term, the United States needs to press freedom and democracy in corners across the world.

Mr. Bush did not directly address Mr. Obama's response to the election in Iran, which some critics have called tepid, but he did make clear that the outcome is very much in dispute. For a fifth straight day, as the Obama administration walks a tightrope by issuing little criticism, protesters gathered in Tehran to demand a new election.

"Clearly, there's a level of frustration on the Iranian streets," Mr. Bush said. "It looks like it's not a very fair election."

Mr. Bush returned again and again to the economy, and sought to defend his own actions after the financial meltdown in the waning days of his second term. Mr. Obama repeatedly has said he inherited that mess.

"I am told, 'If you do not move strongly, Mr. President, you will be a president overseeing a depression that will ultimately be greater than the Great Depression,'" Mr. Bush said. "I firmly believe it was necessary to put money in our banks to make sure our financial system did not collapse. I did not want there to be bread lines, to be a great depression."
He said his administration sought to address the "housing bubble" before the system broke down. "We tried to reform" mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, "but couldn't get it through the vested interests on Capitol Hill."

Still, Mr. Bush was optimistic, pressing, as he did as president, free trade, open markets and the free enterprise system. "We'll come out of this better than before," he said to more applause.

But he was less than convinced about Mr. Obama's move to overhaul the health care system.

"There are a lot of ways to remedy the situation without nationalizing health care," Mr. Bush said. "I worry about encouraging the government to replace the private sector when it comes to providing insurance for health care."

Asked by the evening emcee at the 104th annual Manufacturer and Business Association meeting if he finds the new president's policies "socialist," Mr. Bush started then stopped.

"I hear a lot of those words, but it depends on..,"he said, breaking off. He later offered a more diplomatic assessment: "We'll see."

Wednesday's speech to hundreds of high-paying association members "premium" tables at the city's convention center went for $1,500 was just the second post-presidency speech by Mr. Bush on U.S. soil (his two major speeches were both in Canada). He was loose and relaxed, his nose a bright red from nearly a week in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he joined his family in celebration of his father's 85th birthday. Mr. Bush told some of his new set stories: How just a month after leaving office he was picking up his dog Barney's poop off a manicured lawn in his Dallas neighborhood; how he's experienced his first red light in 14 years (he served six years as Texas governor before being elected president).

His Secret Service detail, however, was not relaxed: This was the first event in which audience members did not have to pass through metal detectors. Outside, a tiny group of protesters and supporters about 10 people on each side faced off on opposite curbs. One man held a sign that said, "President Bush, thank you for saving all the babies." On the other side: "Arrest Bush."

But the former president got a big cheer when he walked out on stage even bigger than Joe Paterno, the legendary Penn State coach who was also on hand for the event. The former president noted that America has a funny political system: "You're it, then you're not it instantly."
He lamented the politics of personal destruction that he said is rampant in Washington, noting, though, that it has always been thus. Recalling how a treasury secretary and a vice president once fought a duel, he joked: "At least when my vice president shot somebody, it was an accident."
During a question-and-answer session, Mr. Bush recounted tough decisions he made in office. Still steely, the former president said he left Washington with the same moral resolve. "When I look in the mirror, I say, 'He did not sell his soul for short-term politics.'"

Asked about the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when he first learned of the terrorist attacks while in a classroom full of children in Florida, Mr. Bush said he simply found an inner resolve.

"I realized that we were in crisis, and the first thing I do in any crisis is calm. If you're president, and all of a sudden the whole world is watching you, and you get up and do something precipitously, frighten children, storm out, that kind of movement will cascade through a society," he said.
In answer to a question about what he learned as president, Mr. Bush smiled broadly. "There's so much stuff coming at you," he said to laughter. But turning serious, he said, perhaps to his successor: "You don't know what's going to come



Wild Thing's comment........

Bush kept us safe and believes in American exceptionalism. He understood our political position in the world. He loves America and our mililtary. I am not taking away the things he did that ticked me off. But it sure feels good to hear him say the things he said here.

I am glad Cheney and now Bush are speaking up . The GOP has to stand firm AGAINST Obama and this going to the middle is BS There can be NO COMPROMISE ON THIS. The GOP must get back to principle.

Marxist Obama's assault on freedom and business and jobs and our way of life has got to end!

Teacher Fired For Being Conservative




Old Media Ignore Teacher Firing -- He's Conservative Naturally

Early in May, Lawrence High School of Lawrence, Kansas fired government and history teacher Tim Latham. Latham charges that District 912 fired him because he is a conservative and many of his students have since rallied to his defense. Some 200 of them joined a FaceBook page in support and four appeared at a school board meeting on June 8 to advocate for their favorite teacher.

One reason given for the firing is that Mr. Latham did not show Obama's inauguration live in his class and another is that staff members disparaged him for supporting Republicans during the late presidential race, most especially then vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin
.

On June 8, an advocacy group, Kansas 9.12 Project also attended the school board meeting and spoke on Mr. Latham's behalf.

Meredith Richey, member, Kansas 9/12 Project, said it had come to the attention of the group that a teacher within Lawrence Public Schools was given a non-renewal because of a difference in political opinion. She asked the board of education to investigate this and possibly reconsider the non-renewal or check into how teachers are released so this is not a pattern in Lawrence. She said different opinions should be tolerated and she believes this is worth exploring.

According to a press release from the Kansas 9.12 Project, school board members admitted to the teachers union that they had not properly followed union rules to dismiss the teacher.

Prior to meeting with Mr. Cunningham, the Kansas 912’ers met with the teacher and then later met with the teacher’s union representative from the Kansas National Education Association (KNEA).

The KNEA representative stated the district admitted they violated the current employment contract by failing to do required in-class evaluations in accordance with the teacher-agreement. He also indicated LHS administrators appear to have harassed the teacher over an assignment where students were asked to contrast the pro’s and con’s of each presidential candidate during the fall election and again because his class did not watch the Presidential inauguration live in his classroom. Harassment also included a Vice Principal confronting the teacher about -- who he should vote for -- and by making disparaging remarks like ”how can you support that woman”, in reference to Sarah Palin. In addition, the teacher was also knocked by other staff members who criticized him for displaying a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on his car and one administrator even demanded he remove links from his teacher webpage to government and historical websites including the armed forces and Arlington National Cemetery, suggesting the teacher’s page was “too patriotic."

Another school board meeting will be held on June 22 and Latham's supporters intend to appear then to pursue the matter further.

Kansas media outlets do not seem much interested in this story, though the Kansas Liberty (subscription required) did cover the story at the end of May. Coverage has been extremely scarce locally and no national coverage has been seen in any case.

It is interesting, though, to see how this story is finding a deaf ear among the media. One might think that a teacher claiming to have been fired over his political beliefs and the subsequent First Amendment questions that raises would be a natural flash point that would draw media coverage. But, thus far, it is seems that little attention has been paid this story.

Earl Glynn, of the website Kansas Meadowlark blog has some interesting video of what students had to say about Mr. Latham.

Illinois Man Rescues Flags Improperly Thrown Out



Waste Management driver Jeff Olsen, 33, of South Elgin, Ill., has rescued more than 250 American flags from trash containers along his residential trash pickup routes.



Illinois man rescues flags improperly thrown out

USA Today

ELGIN, Ill.

Jeff Olsen doesn't pay much attention to the garbage he collects unless he spots red and white stripes or white stars on a blue background.

Whenever he sees a U.S. flag in the trash, Olsen retrieves it and takes it back to Waste Management offices in this Chicago suburb. He has rescued more than 250 flags in the past 18 months.

Olsen, 33, who was born in Grimsby, Ontario, started recovering flags soon after he was hired in 2005. Doug Zywiciel, a co-worker, brought a battered flag into the office, and Olsen asked him about it.

"He said, 'If you can believe it, people throw them out,' " Olsen recalls. Zywiciel and Jamie Lauderdale, another driver, explained that as Army veterans, they are offended when people don't dispose of flags properly.
"It just clicked," Olsen says, and he decided to join their effort to save discarded flags. American Legion Post 57 and Elks Lodge 737 will honor him on Flag Day, which is Sunday. Next month, he will be recognized at the state American Legion convention.

Flags collected by Olsen and other Waste Management drivers go into a box. When it's full, the flags are taken to the American Legion.

Don Sleeman, Post 57's adjutant, says enough flags to fill a 35-gallon container 40 times are dropped off every year.

Flags made of cotton or wool are burned in disposal ceremonies; those made of synthetic materials go to a local crematorium, which incinerates them for free.

Some people know how to properly discard flags, Sleeman says, but others "don't respect the flag, or they are ignorant of what to do with it." The American Legion distributes pamphlets on flag etiquette, and members visit schools to tell fifth- and sixth-graders about the flag's history and appropriate care.

Mike Schuiteman, Olsen's supervisor, says drivers aren't allowed to scavenge items from the garbage they collect, but flags are an exception.

"All our drivers have gotten together to do this," he says. "They realize this is a symbol of our nation."

Olsen's wife, Stacie, a former Army medic, helped him understand the flag's importance. When he finds one, "I feel kind of patriotic," says Olsen, who is a citizen of the USA and Canada. He and Stacie have two children, Tyler, 5, and Abbey, 2.

Several found flags are on display at the Waste Management facility here; Olsen has one in his garage, next to a Canadian flag.

"It's the symbol of our nation, so you have to take care of it," Olsen says. "You dump it, you see it, you grab it and you get it to the right place."

Awesome Phone Call: Karna Small Bodman on Obama's Czars


Karna Small Bodman on Obama's Czars

Karna served in the White House of President Ronald Reagan for six years. Her last post was Senior Director of the National Security Council. She was also on the air for fifteen years as a TV News Anchor and Reporter.

Her website

And from her website her Gallery page with photos with Reagan etc.


.




RUSH: This is Karna. It's Karna in Washington, our nation's capital. Hi, Karna. It's great to have you here.

CALLER: Well, hi, Rush! Delighted to be with you today.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: Since it's Open Line Friday, I thought I'd bring up a point about the great amassing of executive power that this new president's been going through that hasn't really gotten a lot of press coverage. I mean, for example, look. The man has now appointed -- I think I'm right on this, I do a lot of research -- 21 White House czars.

RUSH: Yes.

CALLER: He's got the energy czar, the urban affairs, the faith-based czar, the regulatory czar, the climate czar, and today we got word of the pay czar: "The Special Master for Compensation."

RUSH: Yes.

CALLER: You know, Rush, (laughs) the Russians, starting in the year 1600, up to the last of them, they appointed 22 czars. It took them, you know, 400 years or so, and they had one at a time. Obama's got 21 of them in five months, and what people don't realize is that these people serve quote "at the pleasure of the president." They're not confirmed by the Senate. Most of these activities are ones that would normally take place in a cabinet office.

RUSH: Yeah, that's right. That was my point. He was superseding his cabinet people.

CALLER: Well, precisely. He's setting up all kinds of problems there, that's another issue. But all the cabinet people are confirmed by the Senate down to the assistant secretary level. They go up to the Hill, give testimony, and so the Hill, of course, has oversight and all that sort of thing. I mean, even Senator Bobby Byrd has been upset about this. He's tried to put out a couple of press releases questioning the way this is threatening the constitutional balance of power.


RUSH: Can you hold on through the break?

CALLER: Absolutely.

RUSH: I want to talk to you more about this. I want to ask you some questions. The latest to raise a stink about this is Steny Hoyer, who is raising a stink about Obama's use of executive power by fiat.

RUSH: We rejoin Karna now in Washington, DC. Are you still there?

CALLER: I absolutely am.

RUSH: Terrific. Here's the story and this is out of Washington: "House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Thursday that he disagreed with a major proposal President Obama advanced this week to help trim health care costs. Obama wants to give a little-known panel, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, more power to come up with recommendations to control costs in the government's Medicare program. Congress then would be required to vote on those recommendations -- up or down, without revision -- much like the model used for the federal Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, or BRAC, for military installations. Hoyer, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said there's little support for the idea, which Obama floated Wednesday in a letter to two senators. 'It was OK for BRAC,' Hoyer said. 'But for legislation that affects literally millions and millions of Americans -- that's an entirely different issue from a policy standpoint.'" I don't know. There is no way it conceivably can be constitutional. No agency can have the authority to tell Congress it can only vote up or down on what is obviously legislation. So here is another example of a czar-like group exerting total federal control even over Congress, and Hoyer is standing up and saying no.


CALLER: Well, he's absolutely right. As I said Bobby Byrd is right, too, and all of these czars that they're mentioning: the urban affairs czar, the car czar, the cyber czar, the regulatory czar, the climate czar, you know, they are all developing these little fiefdoms inside the White House without oversight at all on the part of the Congress. And it's absolutely amazing all of these people. There's one other example that I could give you, Rush, if I could. I served in the Reagan White House for six years --

RUSH: You sound very smart. I was going to observe that. You sound very intelligent.

CALLER: Well, you know, I work in government, so, of course, now we have, I would call the anti-Reagan president in the White House. And when I was there -- and this has not received any publicity at all -- the NSC staff, National Security Council staff in the White House, in the Reagan days, we had 40 professional staff, okay, 40 professional staff. And the job was to take the various policies from State, Commerce, DOD, and so forth, and analyze them, present the policies fairly to the president for a decision. Today, you know what he's got in there? Two-hundred-and-eighty, 280 NSC staffers! I don't know where they park. Of course, who has White House mess privileges, that's sort of another issue. It's incredible.

RUSH: Now, wait, wait, that is interesting to me. You gloss over that but I've been there enough times to know that that's a great question, where do 280 National Security Council staffers park, and is there room for all of these additional people in the White House mess?

CALLER: Absolutely not. It's amazing. I don't know what they're going to do about that. But they've got all these people. And as I said before, they're serving at the pleasure of the president, not anywhere else in the government. And I don't know where they're going to put 'em. They're going to have to have annexes all over town, I have no clue. But this amassing of executive power, I mean it makes anything that the Bush-Cheney White House did look like third-grade recess.

RUSH: Well, you know, you have two people, Hoyer and Robert Byrd pop up about specific things. I'll tell you a little story. I was invited by the president on the day after my birthday, January 13th, to go to the White House for a lunch, a goodbye lunch in his dining room off the Oval Office, and he told me he was aghast, he says you won't believe the number of czars this guy is going to appoint. He had talked to Obama, Obama had laid out some of his plans and they had talked. He's going to have all these czars and they're not going to be answerable to anybody.

CALLER: Exactly right.

RUSH: And it's happened.

CALLER: Exactly right. I mean, we always had a few, you maybe had a drug czar, you had a faith-based person, you know, looking at things like that, but 21?

RUSH: Okay, so tell me the purpose of it. You can enlighten people here. Why is he doing this?

CALLER: Executive power. The man is into executive power. I mean look at everything he's been doing. He has been gaining and grabbing as much power as he possibly can. This is his one chance.

RUSH: Yes, well, maybe.

CALLER: Maybe? Well, I'm not quite sure how you can stop it. The man does have the right to appoint his staff, you know, it's just that it's getting totally --

RUSH: Well, let's play this out. You say and answered my question, why is he doing this? Executive power. That's a term you inside-the-Beltway types use, and it's not incorrect. But I think there's a better answer.

CALLER: Okay.

RUSH: He's a statist. He's an authoritarian. He wants to rule; he doesn't want to govern.

CALLER: Well, you did call him Lord Obama I think on a previous segment.

RUSH: I have, and the Most Merciful.

CALLER: I think you're getting it right.

RUSH: The Most Merciful.

CALLER: I think you're getting it right. I'll tell you something, something else in my research, I write books, now, Rush, and there was something from the campaign, here's a great line, he said, quote, "My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Barack Obama.

RUSH: Barack Obama, which he's doing.

CALLER: It's scary.

RUSH: He is doing it and he's got blanket support from government-controlled media.

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: He doesn't have anybody in his party standing and up opposing him. You look at all of these so-called Democrat strategists who show up on cable TV, they're all supportive of all of this, they don't dare disagree with any of it. It's shocking. People don't think this kind of thing can happen here.

CALLER: Well, the real question, Rush -- and I'm sure you have an answer here -- but the real question is once you put so many of these things in place, how do we turn it around?

RUSH: See, that's the danger. Not just the czars, not just all the NSC staff you're talking about, but let's say that he succeeds -- how do we get General Motors back?

CALLER: Oh, good luck.

RUSH: You know, for example. I mean let's say that in 2012, just play this out, let's say in 2012 we elect a conservative president. This conservative president may or may not have a Congress that goes along with him. He's going to have to unravel -- if he's true to his ideology -- he's going to have to unravel and dismember so much of this growth of the federal government, and you know how hard that is to do. Reagan really was serious about closing the Department of Education.

CALLER: Well, if we look back, Rush, now the excuse they're using is we have this incredible economic problem, worse than the Depression and so forth, and that's their excuse for all of their moves, but when you look back -- and you've talked about this before -- President Reagan came in, we had some pretty tough times, 12% inflation, 21 1/2% interest rates, double-digit unemployment, but what was his answer? Exactly the opposite of every single thing this administration is doing, lower tax rates. When Reagan came in, the highest rate was 78%. When he left it was 28%.


RUSH: All of this is true. But I don't think it's just enough to say Reagan did it this way and it worked.

CALLER: Right.

RUSH: We know that it worked. Obama, everybody on his side saw what happened, they know it worked, and yet they throw it out. In fact, Karna, even the Republican Party wants to throw it out. That's the frustrating damn thing. The Republican Party wants to get rid of that. So I have to ask this question, which I've been doing. We all know that however wrong he is about things that are traditionally American, Barack Obama's not stupid. Now, he may have been educated in a perverted and polluted way, but intellectually he's not stupid, nor are people that work with him. Yet, they are doing the exact opposite of what everybody knows will work. Everybody knows this will not work, but, from whose standpoint will it not work? Ours. From Obama's standpoint, it's working like a charm. He is getting more control over everything. He is creating more dependency on the part of the general population for the government. The story came out yesterday that one of every six dollars the American people earn is from the government.

CALLER: Well, you know, Rush, I'm sure you've talked about this before, but during the campaign, Obama was asked, I think it was by Charlie Gibson, it was an amazing question, he said, "Well, looking back in history, every time taxes were cut across the board -- the Kennedy tax cuts, the Steiger tax cuts, the Reagan tax cuts -- revenues into the government actually increased. And with the Reagan tax cuts they doubled as a matter of fact.

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: So then there would be more money for your programs." And Obama's answer was incredible. His answer was, "Well, that's not my concern. My concern is fairness."

RUSH: Right! His concern is returning the nation's wealth to its rightful owners. In his view, unions and the poor are only poor, are only middle class because evil, rich people have stolen it from them. This is what he's been taught, and I'm sure he believes it anyway, and this is what his policies are all about. Look, with all of this unemployment and the recession, look at the drastic reduction in tax revenue to the government, so their projections, deficit projections and government revenue are already way off. And it doesn't matter a hill of beans. The worse it gets, is my point, the better for him and for his designs.

CALLER: Exactly.

RUSH: But you can't make people believe that, because most Americans don't want to believe that their president intends to benefit from the country being harmed. It won't work. People will not be able to put their arms around that. Average Americans who are not political junkies like we are will not be able to grasp that.

CALLER: Well, the only thing we can do is keep up with shows like yours, of course, and, you know, I write about it, I write political thrillers, and I point out all of these things --

RUSH: Okay, now, you've mentioned that twice now.

CALLER: Yeah, I know, I probably shouldn't do that.

RUSH: I gotta ask, do you write under your real name?

CALLER: Yeah, Karna Small Bodman. And the last one, Final Finesse, just came out recently. So it just came out.

RUSH: Final Finesse, by Karna Small Bodman?

CALLER: Right. Hm-hm.

RUSH: Spell Small Bodman for me.

CALLER: Well, it's Karna, K-a-r-n-a, and then Small, S-m-a-l-l, and then Bodman, B-o-d-m-a-n.

RUSH: Okay. I just wanted to double-check. With my hearing constraints, I wanted to make sure.

CALLER: I appreciate that.

RUSH: And I wanted to make sure there was no L in Karna.

CALLER: No, no, no, no.

RUSH: No, no, no.

CALLER: Okay. Okay. Actually, that's sometimes been mentioned, but, no, as a joke. In fact, in the White House mess, we used to come down to lunch, and Larry Kudlow was on the staff there, and I'd walk in, and he'd say, "Oh, Karnal." We'd joke around about that. But, no, it's Karna. So I write, each book is about a different national security threat, but sort of seen through the prism of experiences with Reagan. And I do a lot of this research and then I watch what's going on in this new administration and every time I pick up the --

RUSH: It's shocking. I'm telling you --

CALLER: -- Wall Street Journal I fear for the Republic, I tell you, it is just absolutely amazing.

RUSH: Speaking of that I've got a piece here from Dan Henninger yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, and he has a great -- let me just read to you the first two paragraphs: "Studebaker, Nash-Kelvinator, Packard, Hudson, Stutz, Pierce-Arrow, Stanley, Checker and American Motors were once household names of the US auto industry. Unlike General Motors in our time, they were not too big to fail. Despite mergers and rescue efforts by their owners, each was shut down. Their legacy lives on as classic cars, restored with erotic affection by collectors. GM's end is different. In the spirit of the new age, General Motors, like Citigroup and AIG, will be kept alive in an industrial coma. One has to ask: Is this where the entire country is headed? Since January, it looks like it is." An industrial coma is a great descriptive phrase applied to what Obama's doing. It is just an industrial coma. And they all know it, they see unemployment getting worse, they see more jobs being lost, they see wages going down, they're not doing a thing about it.

CALLER: And the question is, "When are the voters going to wake up?"

RUSH: That is the question, and I don't know. His voters have a cult-like attachment, emotional attachment to him. And you even wonder if devastating personal economic circumstances will wake 'em up. This is the big question. Karna, I gotta run. I've enjoyed talking to you very much. I'm a little long in this segment so the next one's going to be short. Best of luck with the new book, too.

I was listening when this call came in and am so glad I can share it with you. Some things were said by Karna we had not heard about before and I thought it was HUGE and very interesting. It really is worth reading the whole conversation if you have time.

Young Con Anthem


"The Young Con Anthem," created by two Dartmouth students







FOX News

Students David Rufful and Josh Riddle made a rap video that they say was intended to spread the views of the Young Conservatives, a group started by Rufful and Riddle with "a devout mission to spread the love and logic surrounding true conservatism," according the organization's Web site.


Rufful and Riddle, both due to graduate in 2012, came to Dartmouth from the Northfield Mount Hermon School, a private school in Massachusetts.

"We didn't think it would blow up to be this big, but it was kind of a way for us to express a pretty unique view," Riddle said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "We kind of wanted to spread the love that's behind the conservative movement."

In the rap, Rufful and Riddle, who perform under the names Serious C and Stiltz, respectively, discuss the origins of their conservative values, saying: "Three things taught me conservative love / Jesus, Ronald Reagan plus Atlas Shrugged."

"I take the way I want to have relationships and my morals from the Bible and Jesus, the idea of supply side economics from Ronald Reagan and from Atlas Shrugged, "Riddle said in an interview, "obviously, I don't agree with all of [Ayn Rand's] religious philosophies, but it's all about the power of the individual."

Riddle said his views are "more valid" because of the diverse influences that contribute to his conservatism.

The video was meant to start a dialogue about politics, Riddle said, not to offend any group. At one point in song the lyrics say: "Don't matter if you're gay, straight, Christian, Muslim / There's one thing we all hate, it's called socialism."

"I just hope that people understand that in no way are we trying to hate on anybody," Riddle said.

The online response to the video, which currently has a 1.5 out of five rating on YouTube, has varied. One commenter on the conservative blog Hot Air expressed approval for "the message, the messengers and the media."

A commenter on YouTube, however, disagreed.

"And this folks ... is why we become Democrats," the commenter wrote.

Rufful said that there has been "hateful commentary" in response to the video, particularly from liberal bloggers.

"There's been death threats -- waking up to a video of a guy with a skull, that's not really what we were looking for," he said, referring to the YouTube video response from a user named NikolaiRaged.

Scott Johnson, a contributor to the conservative blog Power Line, who graduated from Dartmouth in 1973, praised the video in an interview with The Dartmouth.

"I thought it was heartening to see some very bright young people who have thought about the issues and are reacting to current events trying to communicate in a way that is contemporary and good humored," Johnson said.

"I certainly appreciated what they had to say, and I couldn't believe how funny it was and how biting it was," Johnson said. "I was just laughing about it all day."

Both Harrison Davies, president of the College Republicans, and Bret Vallacher, president of the College Democrats, said they had not heard about the video until they were asked to comment by The Dartmouth.

"I have to admit, at first I thought it was funny and actually a Colbert-esque satire," Vallacher said after watching the video. "Yet, as this tirade staggers on, it tragically exposes the completely irreconcilable views of modern day neo-conservatism."

Rufful said he came up with his alias, "Serious C" because he is "seriously Christian and conservative," according to the group's Web site. Riddle, who is 6' 9" tall, was called "Stiltz" by his friends because of his height.

"We don't claim to be rappers. We're not pursuing a rap career," Rufful said when asked if the duo had any plans to create other videos. "Spreading the conservative message is more of our goal."

The YouTube video was shot on Dartmouth's campus in the Rockefeller Center and Occom Commons.

Official Lyrics to Young Con Anthem

Serious C:

“Yo this ones for all the young conservatives.
I rep the Northeast and I’m still a young con,
Let your voice release, you don’t have to be obamatrons.
I debate any poser who don’t shoot straight,
Government spending needs to deflate,
Your ideas are lightweight,
Ya careers in checkmate
I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate
I hate when,
government dictatin, makin, statements, bout how to be a merchant,
How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement
Bailout a business, but can’t protect an infant
Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment
I stand one man, outnumbered at my college
Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage
Can’t support abortion, and call yourself a Christian
I support life, you’re a puzzled politician
Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,
Now they’re in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday
No such thing as utopia,
no government can control ya, baby ya,
Reap the benefits hard work, self reliant
Listen to Stiltz, my dude’s a lyrical giant

Yo Stiltz... make it two time... please”

Stiltz:

“I’m 6’9 head and shoulder above the rest
Liberals playin checkers, I’m playin chess
My conservative view is drill baby drill
You can say you hate me but
I’m praying for you still
My dislike for thee most def is not hyperbole
Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally
I’m just livin life a conservative philosophy
Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy
We need more women with intellectual integrity
I’m talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi
My main motto is you best work hard
It’s not the hand you were given, but how you lay down your cards
I don’t speak lies but I spit the facts
28% the new capital gains tax
Porkulus bill lacks a few stats
The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack
The Bible says we’re a people under God,
Usin radar for radical Jihad
AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd
A classy gift ain’t an Ipod
The standards of my crew ain’t republicans dude
I’m reppin Jesus Christ and conservative views
Study history and true conservative moves
Every single time they refuse to lose
I’m starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter
When really nothin but a Reagan era starter”

Serious C:

“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I’ll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:

“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”

Serious C:

“Phase me, make me, into something that ain’t me
Serious c... can’t nobody shake me
great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne
Don’t matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim
There’s one thing we all hate, called socialism.
It’s loathsome, and America ain’t the outcome,
Raise taxes on the people,
And you’re gonna feel symptoms, problems
I gotta message for a young con:
superman that socialism,
waterboard that terrorism”

Stiltz:

“I fulfill the role that’s inherently mine
Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme
I’m signing off this track with a question in mind
How will this country get its precious change in time?
Three things taught me conservative love:
Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged
Saving our nation from inflation devastation
On my hands and my knees praying for salvation”

Serious C:

“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I’ll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:

“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”



Wild Thing's comment..........

I saw these guys on FOX news the other day. I was very impressed and it is so great to see all these various new people too that we never knew about before....good conservatives.

Some of the digs they got in at liberals were hilarious.

I could see that as an effective tool to reach some people who might not otherwise listen to a conservative message. I give them credit for taking a stand like that and not hiding it.

The reactions of the libs, the death threats and all, show that it hits pretty close to home.

HERE is the LINK to their website.

Obama walked Nancy Reagan over to the signing table and he sat down. He picked up the first signing pen and began to sign the bill.

Mrs. Reagan spoke up, "Oh, you're a lefty."

"I am a lefty", Obama admitted.

Jillian Bandes Examines Sotomayor's Decisions and Our Constitution




Jillian Bandes with Townhall, exanmines sonia sotomayor's Constitutional history.


Some of Sotomayor's decisions haven't really been in line with the Constitution. If she doesn't believe in all of it, does she really believe in any of it?



Wild Thing's comment.........

Sotomayor is a card-carrying-member of LA RAZA!

Profile of Sonia Sotomayor

“She is a member of the American Bar Association, the New York Women’s Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage, and the National Council of La Raza.”

Just an observation- Palin caught hell for being associated with a seccessionist group. Sotomayer gets lauded for being a member of a group dedicated to establishing a foreign country on US soil. Typical liberal playing field.

With Sonia Sotomayor on the bench, we will have rulings from the Supreme Court that will have sunk to the level of the O.J. Simpson murder trial: we may not have jury nullification but we will have the violation of the principle of the rule of law.

Mercy is good, and lovable... but it cannot exist without Justice, for that would only be the perpetuation of injustice.
It really is as simple as that. IMO

Yo! Colin Powell Get The Heck Out Of The GOP You Are NOT Wanted!!!



Colin Powell told Face the Nation ( Sunday May 24th,2009 yesterday) that he's not leaving the GOP. Powell made the statement today after being attacked by Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh for supporting Far Left socialist candidate Barack Obama in the last election. Powell hopes to head up the socialist cut-and-run wing of the GOP.




Wild Thing's comment........

Don't you just love it when Democrats give Republicans advice on how to win — as if that’s the outcome they’d like to see.

Colin Powell can kiss where the sun dont shine. In fact he is good at that, It gave him a great career.

Powell is mouthing and they say Cheney should keep his mouth shut? Which one will I listen to...take a guess. LOL

VP Dick Cheney Makes Direct Hit and Kicks Obama's Punk Ass!



Text of Cheney's AEI ( American Enterprise Institute) Speech

Weekly Standard

Thank you all very much, and Arthur, thank you for that introduction. It’s good to be back at AEI, where we have many friends. Lynne is one of your longtime scholars, and I’m looking forward to spending more time here myself as a returning trustee. What happened was, they were looking for a new member of the board of trustees, and they asked me to head up the search committee.

I first came to AEI after serving at the Pentagon, and departed only after a very interesting job offer came along. I had no expectation of returning to public life, but my career worked out a little differently. Those eight years as vice president were quite a journey, and during a time of big events and great decisions, I don’t think I missed much.

Being the first vice president who had also served as secretary of defense, naturally my duties tended toward national security. I focused on those challenges day to day, mostly free from the usual political distractions. I had the advantage of being a vice president content with the responsibilities I had, and going about my work with no higher ambition. Today, I’m an even freer man. Your kind invitation brings me here as a private citizen – a career in politics behind me, no elections to win or lose, and no favor to seek.

The responsibilities we carried belong to others now. And though I’m not here to speak for George W. Bush, I am certain that no one wishes the current administration more success in defending the country than we do. We understand the complexities of national security decisions. We understand the pressures that confront a president and his advisers. Above all, we know what is at stake. And though administrations and policies have changed, the stakes for America have not changed.

Right now there is considerable debate in this city about the measures our administration took to defend the American people. Today I want to set forth the strategic thinking behind our policies. I do so as one who was there every day of the Bush Administration –who supported the policies when they were made, and without hesitation would do so again in the same circumstances.

When President Obama makes wise decisions, as I believe he has done in some respects on Afghanistan, and in reversing his plan to release incendiary photos, he deserves our support. And when he faults or mischaracterizes the national security decisions we made in the Bush years, he deserves an answer. The point is not to look backward. Now and for years to come, a lot rides on our President’s understanding of the security policies that preceded him. And whatever choices he makes concerning the defense of this country, those choices should not be based on slogans and campaign rhetoric, but on a truthful telling of history.

Our administration always faced its share of criticism, and from some quarters it was always intense. That was especially so in the later years of our term, when the dangers were as serious as ever, but the sense of general alarm after September 11th, 2001 was a fading memory. Part of our responsibility, as we saw it, was not to forget the terrible harm that had been done to America … and not to let 9/11 become the prelude to something much bigger and far worse.

That attack itself was, of course, the most devastating strike in a series of terrorist plots carried out against Americans at home and abroad. In 1993, they bombed the World Trade Center, hoping to bring down the towers with a blast from below. The attacks continued in 1995, with the bombing of U.S. facilities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; the killing of servicemen at Khobar Towers in 1996; the attack on our embassies in East Africa in 1998; the murder of American sailors on the USS Cole in 2000; and then the hijackings of 9/11, and all the grief and loss we suffered on that day.

Nine-eleven caused everyone to take a serious second look at threats that had been gathering for a while, and enemies whose plans were getting bolder and more sophisticated. Throughout the 90s, America had responded to these attacks, if at all, on an ad hoc basis. The first attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a law enforcement problem, with everything handled after the fact – crime scene, arrests, indictments, convictions, prison sentences, case closed.

That’s how it seemed from a law enforcement perspective, at least – but for the terrorists the case was not closed. For them, it was another offensive strike in their ongoing war against the United States. And it turned their minds to even harder strikes with higher casualties. Nine-eleven made necessary a shift of policy, aimed at a clear strategic threat – what the Congress called “an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” From that moment forward, instead of merely preparing to round up the suspects and count up the victims after the next attack, we were determined to prevent attacks in the first place.

We could count on almost universal support back then, because everyone understood the environment we were in. We’d just been hit by a foreign enemy – leaving 3,000 Americans dead, more than we lost at Pearl Harbor. In Manhattan, we were staring at 16 acres of ashes. The Pentagon took a direct hit, and the Capitol or the White House were spared only by the Americans on Flight 93, who died bravely and defiantly.

Everyone expected a follow-on attack, and our job was to stop it. We didn’t know what was coming next, but everything we did know in that autumn of 2001 looked bad. This was the world in which al-Qaeda was seeking nuclear technology, and A. Q. Khan was selling nuclear technology on the black market. We had the anthrax attack from an unknown source. We had the training camps of Afghanistan, and dictators like Saddam Hussein with known ties to Mideast terrorists.

These are just a few of the problems we had on our hands. And foremost on our minds was the prospect of the very worst coming to pass – a 9/11 with nuclear weapons.

For me, one of the defining experiences was the morning of 9/11 itself. As you might recall, I was in my office in that first hour, when radar caught sight of an airliner heading toward the White House at 500 miles an hour. That was Flight 77, the one that ended up hitting the Pentagon. With the plane still inbound, Secret Service agents came into my office and said we had to leave, now. A few moments later I found myself in a fortified White House command post somewhere down below.

There in the bunker came the reports and images that so many Americans remember from that day – word of the crash in Pennsylvania, the final phone calls from hijacked planes, the final horror for those who jumped to their death to escape burning alive. In the years since, I’ve heard occasional speculation that I’m a different man after 9/11. I wouldn’t say that. But I’ll freely admit that watching a coordinated, devastating attack on our country from an underground bunker at the White House can affect how you view your responsibilities.

To make certain our nation country never again faced such a day of horror, we developed a comprehensive strategy, beginning with far greater homeland security to make the United States a harder target. But since wars cannot be won on the defensive, we moved decisively against the terrorists in their hideouts and sanctuaries, and committed to using every asset to take down their networks. We decided, as well, to confront the regimes that sponsored terrorists, and to go after those who provide sanctuary, funding, and weapons to enemies of the United States. We turned special attention to regimes that had the capacity to build weapons of mass destruction, and might transfer such weapons to terrorists.

We did all of these things, and with bipartisan support put all these policies in place. It has resulted in serious blows against enemy operations … the take-down of the A.Q. Khan network … and the dismantling of Libya’s nuclear program. It’s required the commitment of many thousands of troops in two theaters of war, with high points and some low points in both Iraq and Afghanistan – and at every turn, the people of our military carried the heaviest burden. Well over seven years into the effort, one thing we know is that the enemy has spent most of this time on the defensive – and every attempt to strike inside the United States has failed.

So we’re left to draw one of two conclusions – and here is the great dividing line in our current debate over national security. You can look at the facts and conclude that the comprehensive strategy has worked, and therefore needs to be continued as vigilantly as ever. Or you can look at the same set of facts and conclude that 9/11 was a one-off event – coordinated, devastating, but also unique and not sufficient to justify a sustained wartime effort. Whichever conclusion you arrive at, it will shape your entire view of the last seven years, and of the policies necessary to protect America for years to come.

The key to any strategy is accurate intelligence, and skilled professionals to get that information in time to use it. In seeking to guard this nation against the threat of catastrophic violence, our Administration gave intelligence officers the tools and lawful authority they needed to gain vital information. We didn’t invent that authority. It is drawn from Article Two of the Constitution. And it was given specificity by the Congress after 9/11, in a Joint Resolution authorizing “all necessary and appropriate force” to protect the American people.

Our government prevented attacks and saved lives through the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which let us intercept calls and track contacts between al-Qaeda operatives and persons inside the United States. The program was top secret, and for good reason, until the editors of the New York Times got it and put it on the front page. After 9/11, the Times had spent months publishing the pictures and the stories of everyone killed by al-Qaeda on 9/11. Now here was that same newspaper publishing secrets in a way that could only help al-Qaeda. It impressed the Pulitzer committee, but it damn sure didn’t serve the interests of our country, or the safety of our people.

In the years after 9/11, our government also understood that the safety of the country required collecting information known only to the worst of the terrorists. And in a few cases, that information could be gained only through tough interrogations.

In top secret meetings about enhanced interrogations, I made my own beliefs clear. I was and remain a strong proponent of our enhanced interrogation program. The interrogations were used on hardened terrorists after other efforts failed. They were legal, essential, justified, successful, and the right thing to do. The intelligence officers who questioned the terrorists can be proud of their work and proud of the results, because they prevented the violent death of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of innocent people.

Our successors in office have their own views on all of these matters.

By presidential decision, last month we saw the selective release of documents relating to enhanced interrogations. This is held up as a bold exercise in open government, honoring the public’s right to know. We’re informed, as well, that there was much agonizing over this decision.

Yet somehow, when the soul-searching was done and the veil was lifted on the policies of the Bush administration, the public was given less than half the truth. The released memos were carefully redacted to leave out references to what our government learned through the methods in question. Other memos, laying out specific terrorist plots that were averted, apparently were not even considered for release. For reasons the administration has yet to explain, they believe the public has a right to know the method of the questions, but not the content of the answers.

Over on the left wing of the president’s party, there appears to be little curiosity in finding out what was learned from the terrorists. The kind of answers they’re after would be heard before a so-called “Truth Commission.” Some are even demanding that those who recommended and approved the interrogations be prosecuted, in effect treating political disagreements as a punishable offense, and political opponents as criminals. It’s hard to imagine a worse precedent, filled with more possibilities for trouble and abuse, than to have an incoming administration criminalize the policy decisions of its predecessors.

Apart from doing a serious injustice to intelligence operators and lawyers who deserve far better for their devoted service, the danger here is a loss of focus on national security, and what it requires. I would advise the administration to think very carefully about the course ahead. All the zeal that has been directed at interrogations is utterly misplaced. And staying on that path will only lead our government further away from its duty to protect the American people.

One person who by all accounts objected to the release of the interrogation memos was the Director of Central Intelligence, Leon Panetta. He was joined in that view by at least four of his predecessors. I assume they felt this way because they understand the importance of protecting intelligence sources, methods, and personnel. But now that this once top-secret information is out for all to see – including the enemy – let me draw your attention to some points that are routinely overlooked.

It is a fact that only detainees of the highest intelligence value were ever subjected to enhanced interrogation. You’ve heard endlessly about waterboarding. It happened to three terrorists. One of them was Khalid Sheikh Muhammed – the mastermind of 9/11, who has also boasted about beheading Daniel Pearl.

We had a lot of blind spots after the attacks on our country. We didn’t know about al-Qaeda’s plans, but Khalid Sheikh Muhammed and a few others did know. And with many thousands of innocent lives potentially in the balance, we didn’t think it made sense to let the terrorists answer questions in their own good time, if they answered them at all.

Maybe you’ve heard that when we captured KSM, he said he would talk as soon as he got to New York City and saw his lawyer. But like many critics of interrogations, he clearly misunderstood the business at hand. American personnel were not there to commence an elaborate legal proceeding, but to extract information from him before al-Qaeda could strike again and kill more of our people.

In public discussion of these matters, there has been a strange and sometimes willful attempt to conflate what happened at Abu Ghraib prison with the top secret program of enhanced interrogations. At Abu Ghraib, a few sadistic prison guards abused inmates in violation of American law, military regulations, and simple decency. For the harm they did, to Iraqi prisoners and to America’s cause, they deserved and received Army justice. And it takes a deeply unfair cast of mind to equate the disgraces of Abu Ghraib with the lawful, skillful, and entirely honorable work of CIA personnel trained to deal with a few malevolent men.

Those personnel were carefully chosen from within the CIA, and were specially prepared to apply techniques within the boundaries of their training and the limits of the law. Torture was never permitted, and the methods were given careful legal review before they were approved. Interrogators had authoritative guidance on the line between toughness and torture, and they knew to stay on the right side of it.

Even before the interrogation program began, and throughout its operation, it was closely reviewed to ensure that every method used was in full compliance with the Constitution, statutes, and treaty obligations. On numerous occasions, leading members of Congress, including the current speaker of the House, were briefed on the program and on the methods.

Yet for all these exacting efforts to do a hard and necessary job and to do it right, we hear from some quarters nothing but feigned outrage based on a false narrative. In my long experience in Washington, few matters have inspired so much contrived indignation and phony moralizing as the interrogation methods applied to a few captured terrorists.

I might add that people who consistently distort the truth in this way are in no position to lecture anyone about “values.” Intelligence officers of the United States were not trying to rough up some terrorists simply to avenge the dead of 9/11. We know the difference in this country between justice and vengeance. Intelligence officers were not trying to get terrorists to confess to past killings; they were trying to prevent future killings. From the beginning of the program, there was only one focused and all-important purpose. We sought, and we in fact obtained, specific information on terrorist plans.

Those are the basic facts on enhanced interrogations. And to call this a program of torture is to libel the dedicated professionals who have saved American lives, and to cast terrorists and murderers as innocent victims. What’s more, to completely rule out enhanced interrogation methods in the future is unwise in the extreme. It is recklessness cloaked in righteousness, and would make the American people less safe.

The administration seems to pride itself on searching for some kind of middle ground in policies addressing terrorism. They may take comfort in hearing disagreement from opposite ends of the spectrum. If liberals are unhappy about some decisions, and conservatives are unhappy about other decisions, then it may seem to them that the President is on the path of sensible compromise. But in the fight against terrorism, there is no middle ground, and half-measures keep you half exposed. You cannot keep just some nuclear-armed terrorists out of the United States, you must keep every nuclear-armed terrorist out of the United States. Triangulation is a political strategy, not a national security strategy. When just a single clue that goes unlearned … one lead that goes unpursued … can bring on catastrophe – it’s no time for splitting differences. There is never a good time to compromise when the lives and safety of the American people are in the balance.

Behind the overwrought reaction to enhanced interrogations is a broader misconception about the threats that still face our country. You can sense the problem in the emergence of euphemisms that strive to put an imaginary distance between the American people and the terrorist enemy. Apparently using the term “war” where terrorists are concerned is starting to feel a bit dated. So henceforth we’re advised by the administration to think of the fight against terrorists as, quote, “Overseas contingency operations.” In the event of another terrorist attack on America, the Homeland Security Department assures us it will be ready for this, quote, “man-made disaster” – never mind that the whole Department was created for the purpose of protecting Americans from terrorist attack.

And when you hear that there are no more, quote, “enemy combatants,” as there were back in the days of that scary war on terror, at first that sounds like progress. The only problem is that the phrase is gone, but the same assortment of killers and would-be mass murderers are still there. And finding some less judgmental or more pleasant-sounding name for terrorists doesn’t change what they are – or what they would do if we let them loose.

On his second day in office, President Obama announced that he was closing the detention facility at Guantanamo. This step came with little deliberation and no plan. Their idea now, as stated by Attorney General Holder and others, is apparently to bring some of these hardened terrorists into the United States. On this one, I find myself in complete agreement with many in the President’s own party. Unsure how to explain to their constituents why terrorists might soon be relocating into their states, these Democrats chose instead to strip funding for such a move out of the most recent war supplemental.

The administration has found that it’s easy to receive applause in Europe for closing Guantanamo. But it’s tricky to come up with an alternative that will serve the interests of justice and America’s national security. Keep in mind that these are hardened terrorists picked up overseas since 9/11. The ones that were considered low-risk were released a long time ago. And among these, it turns out that many were treated too leniently, because they cut a straight path back to their prior line of work and have conducted murderous attacks in the Middle East. I think the President will find, upon reflection, that to bring the worst of the worst terrorists inside the United States would be cause for great danger and regret in the years to come.

In the category of euphemism, the prizewinning entry would be a recent editorial in a familiar newspaper that referred to terrorists we’ve captured as, quote, “abducted.” Here we have ruthless enemies of this country, stopped in their tracks by brave operatives in the service of America, and a major editorial page makes them sound like they were kidnap victims, picked up at random on their way to the movies.

It’s one thing to adopt the euphemisms that suggest we’re no longer engaged in a war. These are just words, and in the end it’s the policies that matter most. You don’t want to call them enemy combatants? Fine. Call them what you want – just don’t bring them into the United States. Tired of calling it a war? Use any term you prefer. Just remember it is a serious step to begin unraveling some of the very policies that have kept our people safe since 9/11.

Another term out there that slipped into the discussion is the notion that American interrogation practices were a “recruitment tool” for the enemy. On this theory, by the tough questioning of killers, we have supposedly fallen short of our own values. This recruitment-tool theory has become something of a mantra lately, including from the President himself. And after a familiar fashion, it excuses the violent and blames America for the evil that others do. It’s another version of that same old refrain from the Left, “We brought it on ourselves.”

It is much closer to the truth that terrorists hate this country precisely because of the values we profess and seek to live by, not by some alleged failure to do so. Nor are terrorists or those who see them as victims exactly the best judges of America’s moral standards, one way or the other.

Critics of our policies are given to lecturing on the theme of being consistent with American values. But no moral value held dear by the American people obliges public servants ever to sacrifice innocent lives to spare a captured terrorist from unpleasant things. And when an entire population is targeted by a terror network, nothing is more consistent with American values than to stop them.

As a practical matter, too, terrorists may lack much, but they have never lacked for grievances against the United States. Our belief in freedom of speech and religion … our belief in equal rights for women … our support for Israel … our cultural and political influence in the world – these are the true sources of resentment, all mixed in with the lies and conspiracy theories of the radical clerics. These recruitment tools were in vigorous use throughout the 1990s, and they were sufficient to motivate the 19 recruits who boarded those planes on September 11th, 2001.

The United States of America was a good country before 9/11, just as we are today. List all the things that make us a force for good in the world – for liberty, for human rights, for the rational, peaceful resolution of differences – and what you end up with is a list of the reasons why the terrorists hate America. If fine speech-making, appeals to reason, or pleas for compassion had the power to move them, the terrorists would long ago have abandoned the field. And when they see the American government caught up in arguments about interrogations, or whether foreign terrorists have constitutional rights, they don’t stand back in awe of our legal system and wonder whether they had misjudged us all along. Instead the terrorists see just what they were hoping for – our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity.

What is equally certain is this: The broad-based strategy set in motion by President Bush obviously had nothing to do with causing the events of 9/11. But the serious way we dealt with terrorists from then on, and all the intelligence we gathered in that time, had everything to do with preventing another 9/11 on our watch. The enhanced interrogations of high-value detainees and the terrorist surveillance program have without question made our country safer. Every senior official who has been briefed on these classified matters knows of specific attacks that were in the planning stages and were stopped by the programs we put in place.

This might explain why President Obama has reserved unto himself the right to order the use of enhanced interrogation should he deem it appropriate. What value remains to that authority is debatable, given that the enemy now knows exactly what interrogation methods to train against, and which ones not to worry about. Yet having reserved for himself the authority to order enhanced interrogation after an emergency, you would think that President Obama would be less disdainful of what his predecessor authorized after 9/11. It’s almost gone unnoticed that the president has retained the power to order the same methods in the same circumstances. When they talk about interrogations, he and his administration speak as if they have resolved some great moral dilemma in how to extract critical information from terrorists. Instead they have put the decision off, while assigning a presumption of moral superiority to any decision they make in the future.

Releasing the interrogation memos was flatly contrary to the national security interest of the United States. The harm done only begins with top secret information now in the hands of the terrorists, who have just received a lengthy insert for their training manual. Across the world, governments that have helped us capture terrorists will fear that sensitive joint operations will be compromised. And at the CIA, operatives are left to wonder if they can depend on the White House or Congress to back them up when the going gets tough. Why should any agency employee take on a difficult assignment when, even though they act lawfully and in good faith, years down the road the press and Congress will treat everything they do with suspicion, outright hostility, and second-guessing? Some members of Congress are notorious for demanding they be briefed into the most sensitive intelligence programs. They support them in private, and then head for the hills at the first sign of controversy.

As far as the interrogations are concerned, all that remains an official secret is the information we gained as a result. Some of his defenders say the unseen memos are inconclusive, which only raises the question why they won’t let the American people decide that for themselves. I saw that information as vice president, and I reviewed some of it again at the National Archives last month. I’ve formally asked that it be declassified so the American people can see the intelligence we obtained, the things we learned, and the consequences for national security. And as you may have heard, last week that request was formally rejected. It’s worth recalling that ultimate power of declassification belongs to the President himself. President Obama has used his declassification power to reveal what happened in the interrogation of terrorists. Now let him use that same power to show Americans what did not happen, thanks to the good work of our intelligence officials.

I believe this information will confirm the value of interrogations – and I am not alone. President Obama’s own Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Blair, has put it this way: “High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al-Qaeda organization that was attacking this country.” End quote. Admiral Blair put that conclusion in writing, only to see it mysteriously deleted in a later version released by the administration – the missing 26 words that tell an inconvenient truth. But they couldn’t change the words of George Tenet, the CIA Director under Presidents Clinton and Bush, who bluntly said: “I know that this program has saved lives. I know we’ve disrupted plots. I know this program alone is worth more than the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency put together have been able to tell us.” End of quote.

If Americans do get the chance to learn what our country was spared, it’ll do more than clarify the urgency and the rightness of enhanced interrogations in the years after 9/11. It may help us to stay focused on dangers that have not gone away. Instead of idly debating which political opponents to prosecute and punish, our attention will return to where it belongs – on the continuing threat of terrorist violence, and on stopping the men who are planning it.

For all the partisan anger that still lingers, our administration will stand up well in history – not despite our actions after 9/11, but because of them. And when I think about all that was to come during our administration and afterward – the recriminations, the second-guessing, the charges of “hubris” – my mind always goes back to that moment.

To put things in perspective, suppose that on the evening of 9/11, President Bush and I had promised that for as long as we held office – which was to be another 2,689 days – there would never be another terrorist attack inside this country. Talk about hubris – it would have seemed a rash and irresponsible thing to say. People would have doubted that we even understood the enormity of what had just happened. Everyone had a very bad feeling about all of this, and felt certain that the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Shanksville were only the beginning of the violence.

Of course, we made no such promise. Instead, we promised an all-out effort to protect this country. We said we would marshal all elements of our nation’s power to fight this war and to win it. We said we would never forget what had happened on 9/11, even if the day came when many others did forget. We spoke of a war that would “include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success.” We followed through on all of this, and we stayed true to our word.

To the very end of our administration, we kept al-Qaeda terrorists busy with other problems. We focused on getting their secrets, instead of sharing ours with them. And on our watch, they never hit this country again. After the most lethal and devastating terrorist attack ever, seven and a half years without a repeat is not a record to be rebuked and scorned, much less criminalized. It is a record to be continued until the danger has passed.

Along the way there were some hard calls. No decision of national security was ever made lightly, and certainly never made in haste. As in all warfare, there have been costs – none higher than the sacrifices of those killed and wounded in our country’s service. And even the most decisive victories can never take away the sorrow of losing so many of our own – all those innocent victims of 9/11, and the heroic souls who died trying to save them.

For all that we’ve lost in this conflict, the United States has never lost its moral bearings. And when the moral reckoning turns to the men known as high-value terrorists, I can assure you they were neither innocent nor victims. As for those who asked them questions and got answers: they did the right thing, they made our country safer, and a lot of Americans are alive today because of them.

Like so many others who serve America, they are not the kind to insist on a thank-you. But I will always be grateful to each one of them, and proud to have served with them for a time in the same cause. They, and so many others, have given honorable service to our country through all the difficulties and all the dangers. I will always admire them and wish them well. And I am confident that this nation will never take their work, their dedication, or their achievements, for granted.

Thank you very much.

OMG this is the best speech!!! He takes Obama down in such a awesome way. One hit after the other. I will try to get the videos later if they are posted. But if you have the time, this speech is so fantastic it is worth the read if you missed seeing it on TV.

It was so GREAT to hear from the American side !!! Unlike Obama and his Obama me me me and Muslim terrorists loving side. OMG I LOVE this speech, I wish Cheney was President!

We saw two men speak today, one is a true patriot and continues to work for our security and the good of our country, the other works for power, political advantage, personal gain and the very destruction of our country.

Cheney is slicing and dicing the Long Legged Mac Daddy.

Thank God for Cheney.

"Feigned outrage based upon a false narrative"...... calling Obama a liar!

“Triangulation is a political strategy, not a national security strategy” - Dick Cheney

“There is no time for splitting differences when the lives of American people hang in the balance.” - Cheney

“Our enemies see weakness” - nailed it.

“The missing 26 words that tell an inconvenient truth.”

"I believe this information will confirm the value of interrogations – and I am not alone.

"Our government prevented attacks and saved lives through the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which let us intercept calls and track contacts between al-Qaeda operatives and persons inside the United States. The program was top secret, and for good reason, until the editors of the New York Times got it and put it on the front page. After 9/11, the Times had spent months publishing the pictures and the stories of everyone killed by al-Qaeda on 9/11. Now here was that same newspaper publishing secrets in a way that could only help al-Qaeda. It impressed the Pulitzer committee, but it damn sure didn’t serve the interests of our country, or the safety of our people."

Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense while Obama was still screwing around with organizing communities.

Cheney’s is the speech of a grownup, of a chief executive, of a statesman. He’s sober, realistic and concrete, stands up for his country and its public officials, and has an acute awareness of the consequences of the choices one makes as a public official and a willingness to take responsibility for those choices.

Dictionary Online Says 'Narrow-minded' Means 'conservative'





Dictionary.com: 'Narrow-minded' means 'conservative'

Reference book equates terms without comment

wnd

When you hear the word "narrow-minded," does "extremely conservative" pop into your head?

It might if you use Dictionary.com as a reference tool.

The listing provides three definitions for "narrow-minded":

1. having or showing a prejudiced mind, as persons or opinions

2. biased. not receptive to new ideas; having a closed mind

3. extremely conservative and morally self-righteous.


It also features a list of synonyms, specifically "bigoted, partial, intolerant, illiberal."

Entries from other dictionaries, including the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language and Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, make no mention of "conservative" in their definitions.

WND contacted Random House in New York City for an explanation of how "extremely conservative" was placed into its dictionary as a descriptor for "narrow-minded," but no one was available to provide an answer. WND was told, though, the company is not working on any updated versions.
"While Random House Reference has no updated editions of our dictionaries currently planned, we continue to actively publish and market our existing editions," said Meg Rushton of Random House Information Group.

When WND entered the term "conservative" into Dictionary.com, results from eight different dictionaries were returned, with none using the word "narrow-minded" as a definition.

The Random House definitions include as an adjective:

* disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.
* cautiously moderate or purposefully low: a conservative estimate.
* traditional in style or manner; avoiding novelty or showiness: conservative suit.


As a noun, it includes:

* a person who is conservative in principles, actions, habits, etc.
* a supporter of conservative political policies.

On its "About" page, Dictionary.com explains it doesn't produce all the dictionaries appearing on its site. It merely makes them available.

"In that respect we are more like a bookstore or library than a publisher," it states. "Thus any comments regarding the content of the definitions that appear on our site should properly be directed to the publisher or copyright holder."

Miss California Carrie Prejean & Donald Trump Press Conference


Carrie Prejean & Donald Trump's Full Remarks ...........................

Donald Trump Commends Miss CA; Lets Her Keep Crown

Here is Carrie Prejean's full speech:

"I am proud to be an American. I'm proud of the freedoms we enjoy because of the brave men and women serving this great country and who have served."
"My grandfather served under General Patton during World War II, and is someone I admire greatly. He never spoke about the Battle of the Bulge that he participated in as a rifleman, or the honorary medals he received because of his bravery. But he did speak about the freedoms he fought for and taught me to never back down. And never let anyone take those freedoms away from you."

Big difference in the two speeches, Trumps had no substance and Carrie's speech was moving and a lesson as well for those on the left to hear.

Her speech had me crying when I saw it on TV, as you will see why as it gets half way into it and what she has to say, VERY POWERFUL. I am so glad it is on YouTube so I can share it with you.

God bless her, she is a special person.

VP Dick Cheney: Powell no longer a Republican



.

WASHINGTON (CNN)

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday he no longer views Colin Powell as a Republican.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation," Cheney was asked about a dispute between Powell — who was secretary of state in the Bush-Cheney administration — and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh over the role each plays in the GOP.

"My take on it was Colin had already left the party," Cheney said. "I didn't know he was still a Republican."
The former vice president noted that Powell endorsed then-Sen. Barack Obama in last year's presidential race. "I assume that that's some indication of his loyalty and his interests," Cheney said.

Powell, in a speech last week, said "the Republican Party is in deep trouble" and said the GOP would be better off without Limbaugh, according to a report by the National Journal.

Limbaugh fired back on his program Wednesday, saying, "What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party."

But, he added, "I don't think the party ought to move dramatically to the left, for example, in order to try to redefine its base. We are what we are. We're Republicans. We have certain things we believe in. And maintaining our loyalty and commitment to those principles is vital to our success."


.


Wild Thing's comment.......

HAHAHAHA......I LOVE IT! At least someone besides Rush tells the MSM the truth!!!

Let us also note the Secretary Powell condemned the harsh rhetoric of the GOP-- but he was utterly silent when Democratic Congressmen were comparing President Bush (43) to Adolf Hitler.

This will drive the RINO’s crazy. Good for Cheney. Calling it like it is.

Powell is a member of The Self-Promotion Party. Whatever get's Powell promoted. No principles, no core values, no beliefs.

Cheney to GOP: Don't Go Changin'



Cheney to GOP: Don't Go Changin'

newsmax

Former Vice-President Dick Cheney told a North Dakota radio audience this week that in his opinion it would be a mistake for the struggling Republican Party to change in any fundamental way, according to a report in Politico.

“I think it would be a mistake for us to moderate,” Cheney said. “This is about fundamental beliefs and values and ideas … what the role of government should be in our society, and our commitment to the Constitution and constitutional principles.
“You know, when you add all those things up, the idea that we ought to moderate basically means we ought to fundamentally change our philosophy. I for one am not prepared to do that, and I think most of us aren’t,” he added.
“Most Republicans have a pretty good idea of values, and aren’t eager to have someone come along and say, ‘Well, the only way you can win is if you start to act more like a Democrat,’” Cheney concluded.

Cheney covered a host of other subjects during the interview by host Scott Hennen, where he was for the most part defensive of the Bush administration and skeptical of some of the emerging policies of the administration of President Barack Obama.

On Prosecuting Lawyers for Terror Advice

"Talk about putting a wet blanket on anybody in government’s willingness to be bold in their recommendations, and so forth. Just forget that. Anybody who sees that kind of thing happen is going to pull their head in and they’ll be reluctant to take responsibility for anything. They’ll be reluctant to recommend the kind of actions that were necessary to defend the country over the last eight years.”


On Closing Guantanamo

“We were not a perfect administration – none ever is – but I think what we did in the counter-terrorist area was extremely effective. I think Obama needs to be careful because he appears to want to cancel out some of those most important policies. Then you get into this whole thing of closing Guantanamo and of course the bottom line there is ‘What are you going to do with all these terrorists that are in Guantanamo?’”


On the GOP Disposing of Dead Wood

“I think periodically we have to go through one these sessions. It helps clear away some of the underbrush ... some of the older folks who’ve been around a long time – like yours truly – need to move on and make room for that young talent that’s coming along.”


On Waterboarding as a ‘Last Resort’

“That assumes that we didn’t try other ways, and in fact we did. We resorted, for example, to waterboarding, which is the source of much of the controversy ... with only three individuals. In those cases, it was only after we’d gone through all the other steps of the process. The way the whole program was set up was very careful to use other methods and only to resort to the enhanced techniques in those special circumstances.”


On Air Force One Buzzing NYC

“I would assume that some senior staffer signed off on that. Especially a mission with, with in effect what is the backup for Air Force One; there are two of those planes, big 747’s. Either one can function as Air Force One anytime the President is on it. I used them a couple of times during our administration for special trips. You know, they don’t turn a wheel without a lot of people knowing about it and signing off and approving it. A pilot can’t just go out there and get on board and take it for a spin.”



.


Wild Thing's comment.........

Giggle, I just love how Cheney is speaking up like this. He has been on a roll basically since Obama was sworn in.

I would bet Obama would love for Cheney to just go away, be silent or maybe go hunting or something. heh heh.
Sure Obama why don't you go on a hunting trip with Cheney he can show you the ropes.

A Must Read~ Andrew McCarthy's Letter to Attorney General Holder





Source

Andrew McCarthy's Letter to Attorney General Holder

The Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Attorney General of the United States
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001

Dear Attorney General Holder:

This letter is respectfully submitted to inform you that I must decline the invitation to participate in the May 4 roundtable meeting the President’s Task Force on Detention Policy is convening with current and former prosecutors involved in international terrorism cases. An invitation was extended to me by trial lawyers from the Counterterrorism Section, who are members of the Task Force, which you are leading.

The invitation email (of April 14) indicates that the meeting is part of an ongoing effort to identify lawful policies on the detention and disposition of alien enemy combatants -- or what the Department now calls “individuals captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations.” I admire the lawyers of the Counterterrorism Division, and I do not question their good faith. Nevertheless, it is quite clear -- most recently, from your provocative remarks on Wednesday in Germany -- that the Obama administration has already settled on a policy of releasing trained jihadists (including releasing some of them into the United States). Whatever the good intentions of the organizers, the meeting will obviously be used by the administration to claim that its policy was arrived at in consultation with current and former government officials experienced in terrorism cases and national security issues. I deeply disagree with this policy, which I believe is a violation of federal law and a betrayal of the president’s first obligation to protect the American people. Under the circumstances, I think the better course is to register my dissent, rather than be used as a prop.
Moreover, in light of public statements by both you and the President, it is dismayingly clear that, under your leadership, the Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct. Given that stance, any prudent lawyer would have to hesitate before offering advice to the government.

Beyond that, as elucidated in my writing (including my proposal for a new national security court, which I understand the Task Force has perused), I believe alien enemy combatants should be detained at Guantanamo Bay (or a facility like it) until the conclusion of hostilities. This national defense measure is deeply rooted in the venerable laws of war and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in the 2004 Hamdi case. Yet, as recently as Wednesday, you asserted that, in your considered judgment, such notions violate America’s “commitment to the rule of law.” Indeed, you elaborated, “Nothing symbolizes our [administration’s] new course more than our decision to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay…. President Obama believes, and I strongly agree, that Guantanamo has come to represent a time and an approach that we want to put behind us: a disregard for our centuries-long respect for the rule of law[.]” (Emphasis added.)

Given your policy of conducting ruinous criminal and ethics investigations of lawyers over the advice they offer the government, and your specific position that the wartime detention I would endorse is tantamount to a violation of law, it makes little sense for me to attend the Task Force meeting. After all, my choice would be to remain silent or risk jeopardizing myself.

For what it may be worth, I will say this much. For eight years, we have had a robust debate in the United States about how to handle alien terrorists captured during a defensive war authorized by Congress after nearly 3000 of our fellow Americans were annihilated. Essentially, there have been two camps. One calls for prosecution in the civilian criminal justice system, the strategy used throughout the 1990s. The other calls for a military justice approach of combatant detention and war-crimes prosecutions by military commission. Because each theory has its downsides, many commentators, myself included, have proposed a third way: a hybrid system, designed for the realities of modern international terrorism—a new system that would address the needs to protect our classified defense secrets and to assure Americans, as well as our allies, that we are detaining the right people.

There are differences in these various proposals. But their proponents, and adherents to both the military and civilian justice approaches, have all agreed on at least one thing: Foreign terrorists trained to execute mass-murder attacks cannot simply be released while the war ensues and Americans are still being targeted. We have already released too many jihadists who, as night follows day, have resumed plotting to kill Americans. Indeed, according to recent reports, a released Guantanamo detainee is now leading Taliban combat operations in Afghanistan, where President Obama has just sent additional American forces.

The Obama campaign smeared Guantanamo Bay as a human rights blight. Consistent with that hyperbolic rhetoric, the President began his administration by promising to close the detention camp within a year. The President did this even though he and you (a) agree Gitmo is a top-flight prison facility, (b) acknowledge that our nation is still at war, and (c) concede that many Gitmo detainees are extremely dangerous terrorists who cannot be tried under civilian court rules. Patently, the commitment to close Guantanamo Bay within a year was made without a plan for what to do with these detainees who cannot be tried. Consequently, the Detention Policy Task Force is not an effort to arrive at the best policy. It is an effort to justify a bad policy that has already been adopted: to wit, the Obama administration policy to release trained terrorists outright if that’s what it takes to close Gitmo by January.

Obviously, I am powerless to stop the administration from releasing top al Qaeda operatives who planned mass-murder attacks against American cities—like Binyam Mohammed (the accomplice of “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla) whom the administration recently transferred to Britain, where he is now at liberty and living on public assistance. I am similarly powerless to stop the administration from admitting into the United States such alien jihadists as the 17 remaining Uighur detainees. According to National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, the Uighurs will apparently live freely, on American taxpayer assistance, despite the facts that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization and have received terrorist paramilitary training. Under federal immigration law (the 2005 REAL ID Act), those facts render them excludable from theUnited States. The Uighurs’ impending release is thus a remarkable development given the Obama administration’s propensity to deride its predecessor’s purported insensitivity to the rule of law.

I am, in addition, powerless to stop the President, as he takes these reckless steps, from touting his Detention Policy Task Force as a demonstration of his national security seriousness. But I can decline to participate in the charade.

Finally, let me repeat that I respect and admire the dedication of Justice Department lawyers, whom I have tirelessly defended since I retired in 2003 as a chief assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. It was a unique honor to serve for nearly twenty years as a federal prosecutor, under administrations of both parties. It was as proud a day as I have ever had when the trial team I led was awarded the Attorney General’s Exceptional Service Award in 1996, after we secured the convictions of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and his underlings for waging a terrorist war against the United States. I particularly appreciated receiving the award from Attorney General Reno—as I recounted in Willful Blindness, my book about the case, without her steadfastness against opposition from short-sighted government officials who wanted to release him, the “blind sheikh” would never have been indicted, much less convicted and so deservedly sentenced to life-imprisonment. In any event, I’ve always believed defending our nation is a duty of citizenship, not ideology. Thus, my conservative political views aside, I’ve made myself available to liberal and conservative groups, to Democrats and Republicans, who’ve thought tapping my experience would be beneficial. It pains me to decline your invitation, but the attendant circumstances leave no other option.

Very truly yours,

ISI

A little on Andrew McCarthy

He has defended the practice of waterboarding as not necessarily being torture in some situations to prosecute the War on Terror whilst admitting that "waterboarding is close enough to torture that reasonable minds can differ on whether it is torture".
During the 2008 Presidential election campaign, Andrew McCarthy has written a number of posts on the National Review's Corner stating that he thinks that the Democratic Presidential candidate is not serious about protecting U.S. national security against threats from radical Islam and elsewhere, and that Obama has a number of troubling ties and associations with leftist radicals.
In an opinion posted on the blog 'the Corner' on 10/22/08 Mr. McCarthy wrote "I believe that the issue of Obama's personal radicalism, including his collaboration with radical, America-hating Leftists, should have been disqualifying."

"Given your policy of conducting ruinous criminal and ethics investigations of lawyers over the advice they offer the government, and your specific position that the wartime detention I would endorse is tantamount to a violation of law, it makes little sense for me to attend the Task Force meeting. After all, my choice would be to remain silent or risk jeopardizing myself. "

This IS chilling....I heard Rush read this letter and it gave me goosebumps. To hear someone speak up to Obama and Holden like this is no less then awesome.

"he Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct. . . . I deeply disagree with this policy, which I believe is a violation of federal law and a betrayal of the president’s first obligation to protect the American people. "

"I am similarly powerless to stop the administration from admitting into the United States such alien jihadists as the 17 remaining Uighur detainees. According to National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, the Uighurs will apparently live freely, on American taxpayer assistance, despite the facts that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization and have received terrorist paramilitary training. Under federal immigration law (the 2005 REAL ID Act), those facts render them excludable from the United States. The Uighurs’ impending release is thus a remarkable development given the Obama administration’s propensity to deride its predecessor’s purported insensitivity to the rule of law.

I am, in addition, powerless to stop the President, as he takes these reckless steps, from touting his Detention Policy Task Force as a demonstration of his national security seriousness. But I can decline to participate in the charade"


For me this letter was the best thing I have read for years. He gets right to the point and tells exactly how it is with Obama and his agenda. The dangers, the distrust, the threat to America, so many things.

Excellent GOP Ad ~ " Do You Feel Safer?"



John Boehner thinks the road back for the GOP begins with the issue of national security. And they are coming out swinging.

Here is Boehner explaining that Obama's policy for dealing with terrorism is literally unknown and that a lack of a coherent strategy, leaves the United States wide open for attack.

The ad helpfully reminds the public how chummy Obama is with Totalitarian thugs like Chavez and how he bows and scrapes to foreign leaders, while at the same time dismantling our ability to interrogate and detain the people who would kill us all.

Ads like this are great for two reasons. First, they are accurate. Making "friends" with your countries enemies and hoping we can all just get along, is a recipe for a knife in the back. Normal people will recognize that risk when they see it. Second, these ads remind people that George W. Bush kept kept the country safe for 7 years without so much as a trash can blowing up at a mall. This sets the bar at maximum height for Obama. He has to pitch a no-hitter. One terrorist strike, of any kind, and the GOP can say, "See, we told you this guy can't be trusted."

House of Commons Alan Duncan Joked About Murdering Miss California Carrie Prejean


A SENIOR Tory MP joked about MURDERING a Miss California contestant on a popular TV show.


The Sun

Shadow leader of the House of Commons Alan Duncan was appearing on BBC comedy show "Have I Got News For You" when he made the gaffe.

Mr Duncan, who had earlier in the show revealed his ambition to become Home Secretary, was discussing American Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean's belief that same sex marriages were wrong.

And the MP called her a "silly b***h" and said "If you read that Miss California is murdered you will know it was me".

The comment has provoked outrage among viewers with complaints being filed with the BBC and the Broadcasting Standards Authority.

The Rev George Hargreaves, leader of the Christian Party said today "Mr Duncan has crossed the line. A senior politician suggesting, even as a joke, that it is OK that Ms. Prejean should be murdered for her Evangelical Christian views is totally unacceptable.
Mr Duncan said today "I'd love to invite her over and take her round the House of Commons, even though it's me it will still make MPs jealous."

Sheriff Arpaio's Letter to Al Sharpton



Reverend Al Sharpton
106 West 145th Street
Harlem, New York City, New York 10039
Fax: 212 690 3070


Dear Reverend Sharpton:

I have read about you with much interest since learning of the protest you plan to lead against me in Maricopa County in June as a way to force my resignation or removal from office.

Your public proclamation leads me to the conclusion: not only do you not understand Arizona; you also do not understand democracy. As the elected Sheriff who, so far has been elected to five consecutive four-year terms, I answer to the four million residents of Maricopa County. I do not answer to the whims of the media, or locally and nationally elected officials who want open borders and who have their own agendas. Nor do I answer to a publicity hound outside interloper who has demonstrated no interest in looking for the truth before making loud uninformed noises.

While your public outcries are colorful, there are several instances where you have inserted yourself into other people's affairs without knowing any of the facts. Poor judgment has caused you plenty of trouble in the past and promises to do so again. Most earnest people want to learn by their mistakes. You seem to glory in repeating them.

I would like to help you avoid further embarrassment by assisting in your understanding of the illegal immigration problem here in my county. When and if you do make the trip here, I invite you to call me to talk about these false allegations.

We can discuss how my deputies are extensively trained by the federal government to properly combat illegal immigration and how the laws of this state allow this Sheriff's Office to question and investigate the immigration status of those people deputies detain in the course of our everyday law enforcement duties.

Don't make the same mistake made by the four Democratic Congressmen calling for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of this office. They and other politicians relied solely on media reports and anti-law enforcement handouts that are replete with inaccuracies. They have brainwashed a handful of local residents to believe these lies. Rest assured that the men and women of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office do not racially profile anyone.

However, we do enforce the state and federal illegal immigration laws. And we will continue to do so as long as these laws are on the books. You can parachute into town, stomp your feet up and down and hold more press conferences against me -- that is a hallmark of democracy too -- but you will not stop me, nor slow me down for one second, from doing what is right.

Before you bring your circus to town and take to our streets by marching against this Sheriff, let's get you fully informed for a change. Congressman John Conyers did not have the courtesy to respond to my invitation to visit with me personally. I hope you will consider my invitation. Surely, a man like yourself -- a reverend -- who famously preaches from the church pulpit understands the infinite wisdome of these words: You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Let's talk about the truth, Reverend. I await your response.

Sheriff, Maricopa County

Miss California on Neil Cavuto Show


Neil Cavuto talks Carrie Prejean (Miss USA Runner-Up) about the gay marriage question she was asked at this year's Miss America competition, and her faith that led ler to answer the way she did.



Carrie Prejean: "I wasn't concerned about any other state except my state. A majority of the people in my state agreed with me. They believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman and I was marked down because of my opinion. And, I don't think that's right... I don't believe taxpayer's money should be used to bail out companies. I don't. Do I think they should be used for welfare. I don't... It (the Perez question) was obviously a test of my faith. A test of my character; my person. And, I am blessed to be here right now."

Vice President Dick Cheney Formally Asks CIA to Release Torture Memos


Sean Hannity interviewed Cheney on his show last night

Cheney Calls For More CIA Reports To Be Declassified


Drudge

In a two part interview airing tonight and tomorrow night on FOX News Channel’s Hannity (9-10PM ET), Vice President Dick Cheney shared his thoughts on the CIA memos that were recently declassified and also revealed his request to the CIA to declassify additional memos that confirm the success of the Bush administration’s interrogation tactics:


They discussed the interrogation techniques used during the Bush years. Cheney was disturbed that the Obama Administration released techniques that were used but not the memos that showed the success of the efforts.

DICK CHENEY:

“One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort. And there are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified.”
“I formally asked that they be declassified now. I haven't announced this up until now, I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country.”
“And I've now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was, as well as to see this debate over the legal opinions.”

And also this.....................


Politico

Vice President Dick Cheney told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that President Obama’s handshake with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez “was not helpful” and could lead “foes” of the U.S. to “think they’re dealing with a weak president.”
“I find disturbing is the extent to which he has gone to Europe, for example, and seemed to apologize profusely in Europe, and then to Mexico, and apologize there, and so forth,” Cheney told Hannity.
“And I think you have to be very careful. The world outside there, both our friends and our foes, will be quick to take advantage of a situation if they think they’re dealing with a weak president or one who is not going to stand up and aggressively defend America’s interests.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama and his releasing memos to make us look bad but not releasing the rest of it that shows how it worked out for the good and what needed to be done is rock solid pure EVIL and that is just what B. Hussein Obama is....EVIIL and he truly hates America and our military.

God bless Dick Cheney, I LOVE how he is fighting back!!!!!! Cheney is one guy you DO NOT want to play hardball with! I love how he pops up out of nowhere. He isn't an attention WHORE like Obama and gang and he only speaks to the media `when it is relevant.

Obama’s definition of transparancy: “We will only tell you the side of the story that makes us look good”

Flordians Protected from Libel Tourism



Representative Charles E. Van Zant (R-Keystone Heights)


HOUSE BILL TO PROTECT FLORIDIANS FROM LIBEL TOURISM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY

~The Bill Shields Floridians from Libel Suits Filed by Terrorists, Other Foreigners~

TALLAHASSEE, FL

Representative Charles E. Van Zant (R-Keystone Heights) lauded the unanimous passage of House Bill (HB) 949 by the Florida House of Representatives. The measure relates to grounds for non-recognition of foreign defamation judgments. This legislation closely resembles a similar law that was passed nearly a year ago by the New York Legislature.

HB 949, like the law passed in New York, will help in the fight against a tactic known as “Libel Tourism” which results from defamation lawsuits filed against authors critical of individuals with known ties to terrorist organizations like al Qaeda and Hamas.

The lawsuits have been finding their way into foreign courts. HB 949 will provide Florida courts with the ability not to recognize a foreign judgment, if that country’s laws protecting free speech and the free press are not at least as protective as freedoms provided in the constitutions of Florida and United States.

“This bill protects all Floridians’ fundamental right to the freedom of speech and press without fear of reprisal from foreign courts,” said Representative Van Zant, the bill’s sponsor. “Political speech is a right we as Americans and Floridians hold dear. This law will ensure that no Floridian will ever have to answer to terrorists as a result of their criticism of terrorism, or its enablers.”

House Majority Leader, Adam Hasner (R-Boca Raton) added, “This bill protects Floridians from having their right to free speech suppressed by those with radical ideologies. Foreign courts that do not place the same value on our constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech will no longer be used to intimidate Florida citizens.”

The bill’s companion, Senate Bill 1066, will be considered in the Senate Rules Committee before heading to the Senate floor for final passage.

Texas Gov Rick Perry - Speech at Tax Tea Party



Governor Perry: Austin Tea Party




Perry fires up anti-tax crowd

Dallas Morning News

Texas Gov. Rick Perry fired up an anti-tax "tea party" Wednesday with his stance against the federal government and for states' rights as some in his U.S. flag-waving audience shouted, "Secede!"

An animated Perry told the crowd at Austin City Hall — one of three tea parties he was attending across the state — that officials in Washington have abandoned the country's founding principles of limited government. He said the federal government is strangling Americans with taxation, spending and debt.

Perry repeated his running theme that Texas' economy is in relatively good shape compared with other states and with the "federal budget mess." Many in the crowd held signs deriding President Barack Obama and the $786 billion federal economic stimulus package.

Perry called his supporters patriots. Later, answering news reporters' questions, Perry suggested Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to secede from the union, though he said he sees no reason why Texas should do that.

"There's a lot of different scenarios," Perry said. "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."

He said when Texas entered the union in 1845 it was with the understanding it could pull out. However, according to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, Texas negotiated the power to divide into four additional states at some point if it wanted to but not the right to secede.

Texas did secede in 1861, but the North's victory in the Civil War put an end to that.

Perry is running for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a fellow Republican. His anti-Washington remarks have become more strident the past few weeks as that 2010 race gets going and since Perry rejected $550 million in federal economic stimulus money slated to help Texas' unemployment trust fund.

Perry said the stimulus money would come with strings attached that would leave Texas paying the bill once the federal money ran out.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, also Republicans, have been outspoken against the federal economic stimulus spending and were supportive of tea parties in their states. The protests were being held throughout the country on federal income tax deadline day to imitate the original Boston Tea Party of American revolutionary times.

In an appearance at the Texas Capitol last week, Perry joined state lawmakers in pushing a resolution that supports states' rights protected in the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He said the federal government has become oppressive in its size and interference with states.

Since then, Perry has been featured on the online Drudge Report, and other conservative commentators and citizens have latched on to his words.

After praising veterans in the cheering crowd Wednesday, he said: "I'm just not real sure you're a bunch of right-wing extremists. But if you are, we're with you."

Perry said he believes he could be at the center of a national movement that is coordinated and focused in its opposition to the actions of the federal government.

"It's a very organic thing," he said. "It is a very powerful moment, I think, in American history."

For her part, Hutchison issued a newspaper opinion piece Wednesday criticizing the Democratic-led Congress for spending on the stimulus bill and the $1 trillion appropriations bill.

"On April 15 — Tax Day — some in Congress may need a reminder of just who is underwriting this spending: the American taxpayer. I am deeply concerned over the swelling tax burden that will be imposed on all Texas families," she wrote.

The crowd at the Austin tea party appeared to be decidedly anti-Democrat. Many of the speakers were Republicans and Libertarians.

One placard said, "Stop Obama's Socialism." Another read, "Some Pirates Are in America," and it showed photographs of Obama, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wearing pirate hats.

Rebecca Knowlton, 45, of Smithville, said she took the day off of home-schooling her three children and brought them to the rally to teach them about civic duty. Knowlton, a critic of the Social Security system and the United Nations, said she felt camaraderie at the demonstration.

"The movement is growing stronger," she said. "You're not alone."


Wild Thing's commment........

LOL I love the first sentence he says on the video. hahaha

Sec2 of Article 1 of the Texas Constitution states:

“The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.”

It is interesting how the ratings of the networks have dropped on the ones that have been putting out for Obama and their coverage of him 24/7 hurt them these last two years as well.
I honestly think people get sick of it, even some on the left. TOO much of anything gets to a perso,n and a little of Obama sure as heck goes a long way.

Tea Party Turnout About 370,000 Attendance and Still Counting






.


Click LINK below for attendance spreadsheet


SPREADSHEET showing list of Tea Parties and Attendence

Thank you goes to ProtectOurFreedom .

It shows there were about about 370,000 attendance, but the numbers are also still coming in.




.


On “America’s Newsroom” Wednesday morning, Fox News host Megyn Kelly declared that “it’s tea party time, from sea to shining sea.”

In between, Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins — who earlier this week donned colonial garb as he traced the history of the tea party movement — reported on a tea party protest in Washington’s Lafayette Park.

Meanwhile, Fox hosts Neil Cavuto, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren were all preparing for their own on-the-scene reports from tea parties around the country.

Nobody’s covering the tea parties quite like Fox — and that’s prompting critics and cable news competitors to say that the network is blurring the line between journalism and advocacy.

“Fox appears to be promoting these events at the same time it is presenting them in a way that looks like reporting,” said Stephen Burgard, director of Northeastern University’s School of Journalism.

While tea party organizers say their movement is nonpartisan, the protests lean hard to the right: Newt Gingrich and Michelle Malkin are on board, as is Freedom Works, an organization run by former Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey. And more than a dozen prominent Republicans were set to participate in tea party protests Wednesday, including South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and a slew of other Republicans from Congress.

While Fox has obsessively covered the tea party plans for days, CNN and MSNBC have given the protests scant mention. Indeed, MSNBC’s on-air personalities have taken to mocking Fox for its tea party attention — reveling in double entendres and juvenile jokes.

On Tuesday’s “Countdown,” Keith Olbermann played clips of Fox personalities talking up tea parties. “As ever,” he said, Fox was “showing both sides ‘fair and balanced’ — supporting the tea baggers and sponsoring the tea baggers.”

Similarly, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said that “our colleagues at Fox News are not just reporting on tea bagging, they are officially promoting it."

ROFL. What pathetic, jealous, sniveling dweebs. They promoted Hussein Obama 24/7 for two years. They have no room to talk. And the fact is that the biggest news yesterday WAS coverage of the tea parties so they only did damage to their own network by not covering all the Tea Parties. hahahahaha

Soviet Union survivor: "President spits in face of every U.S. citizen"



Meet fierce blonde behind Obama eligibility lawsuits

wnd

By Chelsea Schilling


MISSION VIEJO, Calif.

She's the fierce blond attorney behind Obama eligibility lawsuits, a successful dentist with two offices, a second-degree black belt and a mother of three boys who speaks five languages.

Dr. Orly Taitz, a woman with a vibrant smile and an ebullient personality, has not always enjoyed an independent life filled with promise and ambition. She was born and raised in Kishinev (also spelled Chisinau), the capital of the Republic of Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe that was formerly part of the Soviet Union.

Drawing on her experiences under a communist regime, she told WND she is determined to do her part to stop America from following in the all-too-familiar footsteps of her former homeland.



Taitz as a baby with her mother in Kishinev


Life under communism

She described her life in a communist nation: Markets were bare, people had no desire to work and the government forced young children into slave labor.

"We'd stop at the store, and the food stores were empty," she said. "I remember we had to stand in lines for hours in the cold. We were in a bus, going home and suddenly we'd see a line. We wouldn't even know what they were selling, but we knew something would be there – some food. We'd stand for two hours to buy maybe a pound of salami or a half a pound of butter."

As a young child, Taitz asked her father why the market shelves were empty.

"In America, they have everything," he would tell her. "The stores are full."

Her father explained that Americans were interested in working and received paychecks based on their productivity. However, in the Soviet Union, farmers were part of a socialist system of collective farming and were compensated equally – regardless of output.

He told her, "If a farmer is bright and hard working, at the end of the month, he will get 100 rubles. And if the farmer is a lazy bum and he does nothing, he gets the same 100 rubles."
Taitz told WND, "People had absolutely no incentive to do anything. They had no incentive to work. The best doctors were getting maybe 150 rubles. That's why the standards for medicine were so low."

Youth camps and slave labor

She said that, much like President Obama's proposed brigade of youth organizers, the Soviet Union used children for slave labor.

"They would put us on trucks, and we would go to the countryside," she said. "We were told to go and pick tomatoes."

Parents were not allowed to homeschool their children. They were forced to enroll them in government schools. From the age of 6, all children were required to become young communists.

"You had to send your child to school, and your child had to be a member of the young communists," Taitz said. "There were no children who were not members. You had to do it. If you were one of the best, you become a member of the Communist Party. It was constant brainwashing."
She continued, "There was no choice, and people resented that. They were scared to speak up."

Most children were sent to communist youth camps, but Taitz' parents wouldn't allow her to go. Instead, they gave her stacks of math, physics and chemistry textbooks to study while her friends were away at camps.

"My parents didn't want me to be in those camps and be subjected to communist brainwashing," she said. "They wanted me to think for myself. I learned to read by myself, and my parents sent me to competitions in math, physics, chemistry and biology. I would sit and work with pages of problems, and I loved to compete."

An empty existence

Practice of religion was restricted in the Soviet Union. Churches were closed and repurposed as museums of art.

"You had to be an atheist," Taitz said. "No one could go and pray. You weren't allowed to mention any religion. A lot of priests, ministers and rabbis were sent to Siberia, so people were scared. They didn't celebrate any religious holidays; they just didn't exist."

She said alcohol abuse was rampant and caused the destruction of many lives.

"One of the reasons they had such a serious problem with alcoholism was because there was nothing in people's lives. There was no God, no religion, no choice. You had to conform and comply."

During her years living in the Soviet Union, Taitz said friends would constantly talk about finding ways to break away from the system.

"They would tell me, 'This person was very inventive and built a hot-air balloon to get out from East Germany to West Germany, or somebody was able to swim across the border,'" she said. "There were always stories about how people escaped the regime."

With only one TV station in Kishinev, Taitz said reporters spewed communist propaganda.

Escaping a totalitarian regime

In 1981, when she was 21, her uncle managed to escape to Israel. He sent her family papers that allowed them to join him there due to their familial relationship.

When Taitz arrived in Israel, she was stunned to discover a free-market society with full stores. In the Soviet Union, there were no fruits or vegetables in the winter. Her family survived on canned foods, bread and pierogis, or dumplings stuffed with various ingredients such as cheese and potatoes.

"I remember when a lady who came to Israel from the Soviet Union went to the store and asked, 'When will we have tomatoes?' She was thinking, maybe March or April," Taitz said.
"The clerk looked at her and said, 'Probably in an hour.'"

For a woman who had lived under a communist regime her whole life, freedom was a new concept she had only imagined after listening to her father's stories.

"It was a completely different feeling, a free feeling," she said. "There were political parties, and you got to choose whichever one you wanted. In the Soviet Union, there was only one."
She lived in Israel for several years and attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Taitz met her future husband, a man living in California who visited his family while she was a practicing dentist in Israel in 1987. Only a couple of months after their introduction, he proposed marriage, and she accepted. Her father was reluctant to let his daughter go, but he eventually relented.

"I was scared. Coming to the U.S. was a big step," she said. "I went to a new country and married a person I hardly knew. I was very scared. So, I came, and right away we drove to Las Vegas."

Still jet lagged from her flight, Taitz was nearly falling asleep as she arrived at a chapel in the center of the Las Vegas strip.

"We paid to have a limo driver act as our witness, and the minister married us," she said. "We got some pictures and sent them to my parents to let them know I wasn't living in sin."






Dentist, lawyer, broker and mother

Because Taitz had foreign dental training, she was required to take dental board exams to practice in the United States. When she took one of her last tests, she was pregnant with her first son.

"I was seven months pregnant with a big belly," she said. "It was pretty tough."

Taitz passed the dental boards, and her practice grew substantially. She now has two separate dental offices in Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. Two dentists work in Taitz' offices each week to assist patients.

With a successful practice and a growing family, Taitz decided to enroll in law school at William Howard Taft University. She took distance courses and studied from home in the evenings.

"I just got books and tapes and studied until I passed the exams," she said. "I passed the California bar, and it is said to be one of the more difficult ones in the nation. When I passed, there was only a 50 percent passing rate."

With three young sons, Taitz volunteered at her children's school every Tuesday for 10 years and reserved evenings and weekends for her family.

When her sons enrolled in Taekwondo classes, she eagerly joined them – earning her own second-degree black belt.

With a strong desire to see the world, Taitz has traveled to 40 countries. In addition to English, she speaks Russian, Romanian, Hebrew and Spanish and has a strong understanding of German because her grandparents spoke the language.

When she sold her California home, Taitz also earned her real estate broker's license to save on commission from the sale. She said she plans to renew it when the eligibility lawsuits have been resolved.

Obama eligibility lawsuits

During the recent election campaigns, Taitz paid close attention and grew concerned when stories about President Obama's birth simply didn't add up. She followed Philip Berg's eligibility lawsuit and several other similar complaints across the nation.

On Oct 25, 2008, she sent an e-mail to Debra Bowen, secretary of state of California, urging her to verify Obama's citizenship status before the elections.

"I wrote, 'I'm an attorney in Southern California, and I am greatly concerned about Barack Obama's eligibility,'" she said.

Taitz told Bowen she believed Obama did not have a legitimate, long-form birth certificate proving that he was born in Hawaii. She argued that if a candidate lacked proper documentation of meeting the natural-born citizen requirement, that candidate should be declared ineligible to run.

"She wrote back that there was no requirement for her to check eligibility," Taitz said. "I asked for a hearing, and I received a letter from her attorney that we would have one. But they lied and never scheduled one. It was appalling that the secretary of state was negligent, reckless, and didn't check eligibility."

Frustrated with the response she received from Bowen's office, Taitz began writing letters to every newspaper she could find. In her letters, she explained why she believed Obama was not eligible and described flaws in the vetting process.

"I wrote that Obama is not eligible to be president and that next time around, we can have Osama bin Laden on our ballots if the only thing one needs to do is write, 'I am eligible,'" she said.

After she wrote the letters, a woman contacted her at her dental office and invited her to a meeting of 200 people in Garden Grove, Calif., to discuss illegal immigration and various political issues. She attended the meeting and met Pastor Wiley Drake, radio host of "Wiley Drake in Buena Park" and vice presidential candidate for America's Independent Party.

Drake complimented Taitz on her speech and asked her to join him on his radio show. When she agreed, he asked how he could help her pursue the eligibility case.

"I said, 'From what I understand, Berg's case was not heard on the merits because they stated that he doesn't have good standing as an ordinary citizen. You are a vice presidential candidate for America's Independent Party. If you agree to be a plaintiff, we will do well."
He said, "Let's do it."

Alan Keyes, the party's nominee for president, agreed to join the lawsuit as a plaintiff. Chairman Markham Robinson added his name and brought another attorney, Gary Kreep, on board. They filed a writ of mandamus in Sacramento on behalf of Keyes, Robinson and Drake and requested that California's electors be barred from signing the Certificate of Vote until documentary proof of Obama's citizenship was produced.

As WND reported, the California court ruled that Bowen "has no 'ministerial duty' to demand detailed proof of citizenship from presidential candidates."

"I decided I couldn't change the pleadings in Alan Keyes' case, but I could file another lawsuit," she said. "So, I got seven plaintiffs and I drove to Los Angeles and filed a case there. By that time, I had a lot of supporters. A lot of people were writing to me, but I asked them to write the Supreme Court of California."

Reliving communism

"It is interesting that when we go to court challenging Obama's eligibility, I experience such a déjà vu, like I am in the communist Soviet Union again," Taitz said. "I feel, my God, I am back in a totalitarian regime. I'm shocked by the total and complete idiocy of those judges who come up with such idiotic excuses about why they refuse to sign a subpoena – something so basic to their jobs – to get his records."
Asked what motivates her continue fighting the eligibility battle, Taitz replied, "I feel that this man is arrogantly spitting in the face of each and every American citizen. I feel like he has just spit in my face. I take it personally that he is trampling on our Constitution and on our laws."
She continued, "Having the experience that I had in the Soviet Union – seeing lack of freedom, lack of a system of justice, lack of judicial integrity, lack of press with integrity, an economic system in shambles – when I saw all that, I began fighting."

Taitz said mainstream media in the United States are becoming much like the Soviet Union press, because they do not provide truthful information about Obama and have pushed for his socialist society.

She offered a suggestion for dealing with "detached" and "ignorant" reporters who advocate such a system.

"I would put all of them in one airplane – Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, Charles Gibson, all of them. I would load a plane with 500 reporters and send them to some village in Siberia or some village in China or Mongolia or Korea or Cuba, and tell them, 'Why don't you survive there for a year,'" she said.
"I guarantee you, after a year they will come here and they'll be to the right of Rush Limbaugh. They'll think Rush Limbaugh is a communist."

Taking a stand

Taitz said if Obama is found to be ineligible, he must be unseated and tried for crimes he committed against citizens of the United States.

"The whole election would be annulled, and all of the laws signed by Obama would be null and void," she said with conviction. "In that case, somebody like Vice President Joe Biden must become president pro tempore for two or three months until we are able to organize a new election."

In Hebrew, "Orly" means "light" – and that's just what Taitz hopes to be for others who are willing to demand proof of Obama's eligibility and take a stand against his socialist plans for the nation.

Drawing on her early life experiences, Taitz issued a word of warning for Americans:

"The worst thing you can ever do is be scared in the face of evil," she said. "Never be too scared to stand tall and speak up."

What a marvelous story she has to share and it shows us why she is really strong about her beliefs. Deep seeded in her past and knowing what it is like to live where they did not have the freedoms we love so much. And why too it is so important to her not to let it happen to our country.

Tea Party Reports from Various Sources



.



Name of song....."We Must Take America Back" - Steve Vaus - The OFFICIAL music video....this is the FULL Version of the song. It is so totally cool, I love it.

Lyrics to " We Must Take America Back"

We Must Take America Back
The American Dream has become a nightmare,
Signs of the times are on cardboard on corners in town,
There's a cancer called crime in our cities,
And an unspoken fear . . . we're on our way down.

We must take America back
Put an end to the gangs and the drugs in the streets
And the fact that the bad guys most always go free,
That is wrong.
We need leaders who lead us, not stick us and bleed us,
Then take all our money and send it abroad.
We must take America back,
We need prayer in the schools and more things
"Made In USA";
It's the least we can do, for the red, white and blue
We must take America back.

There's a hell here on earth in some city schoolyards,
When bullets and birth control outnumber books something's wrong;
There's a hunger for good news and heroes,
But good news is no news so all of the heroes are gone.

We must take America back
Put an end to the gangs and the drugs in the streets
And the fact that the bad guys most always go free,
That is wrong.
We need leaders who lead us, not stick us and bleed us,
Then take all our money and send it abroad.
We must take America back,
We need prayer in the schools and more things
"Made In USA";
It's the least we can do, for the red, white and blue
We must take America back.

Today is tax day, and across America, taxpayers are holding tea parties to protest out-of-control government spending. Their concern is no tempest in a teapot.

The tax burden on American families is growing increasingly heavy. According to the Tax Foundation, tax-freedom day came on April 13 this year. That day marks the point of the year when taxpayers have earned enough money to pay off their federal, state and local taxes. It takes Americans about 3 1/2 months of labor to cover their tax obligation. That time will increase as government continues to grow. Obama’s current budget proposal admits to plans to raise taxes by almost $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

There were hundreds of thousands of Americans will mark the occasion by participating in “Tax Day Tea Party” protests in more than 2,100 communities nationwide. The Gadsden flag, emblazoned with the historic words “Don’t tread on me,” has become the official flag of the Tea Party movement and AmericanFlags.com has proudly supplied more than 5,000 Gadsden flags to protest participants.

The tax day protests, modeled after the Boston Tea Party, take aim against government spending, tax hikes and corporate bailouts. “The Gadsden flag with its vivid yellow field, coiled rattlesnake poised to strike and provocative slogan has always embodied the American spirit of determination and resolve,”

I got an email telling me that they had gone over to DU ( Democrat Underground) to see what they were saying and that about 90% of new posts are bitching about the tea parties. LOL I bet. It’s all brownshirt over there now, ants marching.





DC tea party. It's Marxist Medea Benjamin from Code Pink. DC had its leftist infiltrators, I see; and the "right-wing extremists" ignored them. LOL!


New Jersey: Flemington (tiny town) 200+ regular folks stood in the rain and sleet for two hours and made sure their voices were heard…awesome turnout!”

“I would like to thank the 300 to 400 people who showed up at the courthouse here in Montrose,Colorado. We had a great day exercising our right to peaceful assembly.”







5,000+ at Denver Colorado Tea Party being reported by Denver Post.”
Police in Denver estimate Denver Tea Party at 5,00 to 6,000. Way to go, Denver
LINK


Tulsa ....Thousands of people showed up at LaFortune Park. Tulsa tea parties. The downtown party, where John Gibson spoke, had several hundred people. The party at Lafortune had well beyond 2000 people. Lots of great signs and, sadly, three disrupters. These folks were from a local 9/11 conspiracy outfit and were laughed at by everyone, including the police that had them corraled about 200 yards from the stage. Tons of media coverage.




“Glad I attended the event at the state capitol. Very inspiring. Pleasantly surprised by the turnout. Very reassuring to see that not everyone is being lulled to sleep by the spin put forth by our elected officials.” (Connecticut)

“The rain in Harrisburg, PA could not keep away a very patriotic noontime crowd. My tea bags for Casey, Specter, Rendell and Obama are in the mail!”

“We had about 500 people out at lunch time in Crystal Lake, IL taking up all four corners of Rt. 14 and Main St. I saw and talked to people that had never been out to a protest before.”

“I attended the tea party in Nashvile at 12noon, it was said we had 10,000 but I’m not sure. I know it was huge. I am so proud that I took off work to stand to attend and stand against all this spending. Keep it up fellow Americans, this is our time to stand and defend our Nation, our Constitution, and protect the future of the next generation.”




“1,200 people gathered on the banks of the Maumee River in Toledo, Ohio, enduring cold, wind and rain to demonstrate their opposition to the direction in which our country is being taken.”

“The lunchtime Tea Party in the little CA town of Danville, which was not advertised (didn’t even get listed on this site until 4/13/09!) was EXCEPTIONALLY well-attended. At the busiest time I counted almost 100 participants!!”

“Thank you to all the people who came to the Tax Day Tea Party in Naples, FL at the corner of US 41 and Pine Ridge Road at 12:00 Noon today. I am told, last count, we had 3,000 people attend!!!”

“JUST GOT BACK FROM THE GILBERT TEA PARTY….ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE SH9OWED UP….GREAT GREAT GREAT LET FREEDOM RING………WE THE PEOPLE .”


Mobile Alabama- About 1000 participants held a rally at Cooper Riverside Park demonstrating against increased debt by an ever increasing government and the taxes that it will take to pay that debt. Power of the People!”

Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh: 1,000 rally - “It’s an anti-big-government rally,” said Jerry Smith, 51, of Hampton. “The main focus is spending and taxing, and neither party has distinguished itself from wanting to limit this.” … Philadelphia: 200 people have gathered at Center City’s Love Park - “You most likely don’t know what socialism is,” “Three months to destroy what we’ve had for 233 years,” “It’s the Tenth Amendment, stupid,” and “Even God only requires 10 percent.”

Florida: Jacksonville draws 2,000 … Tampa: “I Want My Change Back.” His button said “Jack Bauer Would Not Take This Crap”


Papillion Nebraska (population about 22k). About 200 people over the lunch hour. There were also parties in Lincoln and Omaha today.





Texas: Austin developing: 1,500 people rally


“I just came from the Ogden, UT tea party. It was AWESOME! There was about 200 people!!! And it was snowing! You can’t stop us! Way to go Ogden!!!”

“The Lansing (State Capitol) Tea Party was awesome.. 4000+ people in attendance.” (Photo below from Lansing.)


Greensburg, PA Tea Party... Greensburg is a tiny little city east of Pittsburgh and it was rainy/drizzlie there too; the Tea Party was held in the Courthouse Square (that is why it was hard to judge the crowd size). Local Pittsburgh TV was there (saw the camera’s and the uplink truck...being ‘up.’) Parking was problematic (its a small, business center in the middle of a work day) so the turn out just warmed my heart that it was so big. Young people, retireees; business people, kids, bikers .

Tampa FL tea party held at Gaslight Park in downtown .The city allows a stage platform where the organizers allowed anyone who were mad as hell voiced their opinions and oppositions to the bailouts, taxes etc. Some the common great Americans gave some pretty good speeches. Then someone would breakout and say the Pledge of Allegiance and everyone would join it. Then someone else would start singing God Bless America and again everyone joined in and sang God Bless America. The cars driving by would honk their horns and gave the crowd a thumps up.

We had 2,500 to 3,000 in Montgomery,AL. Lots of excitement and electricity. I think everyone was surprised at the size of the turn out.

Around 7,000 at Oklahoma City, at noon today. Great crowd!


And downtown Madison, Wisconsin...almost 6,000 people downtown for hours honking horns and blasting Twisted Sister over and over.


Chicago,IL had 5,000 according to the police officer when asked how many.

Hussein Obama's Times His Speech's Desperately Trying To Counter Tea Party Protests




From Rush yesterday about Hussein Soutpiel puppet with a teleprompter's speech he made about the ecoomy.

RUSH: I had a report, I got this at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I just didn't have a chance to work it in yesterday. It's this Department of Homeland Security report, it's nine pages, I've got the PDF here, and, by the way, this speech of Obama's and the DHS report yesterday are timed for one reason and that's the tea parties tomorrow. This speech, the primary purpose of this speech is to take any glow off the tea parties. The media is going to report on this speech later this afternoon and tell you about how great the economy is doing, how on top of it Obama is, how it's going to be a little while before it rebounds but it's coming back, and in having used that as the setup, they'll then go to videotape of the tea parties where they'll try to mock what's going on with these people, just agitators with no real reason behind what they're doing. So this speech is designed to totally blunt the tea parties, which are grassroots affairs that will happen all over America tomorrow. The DHS report, this comes from the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.


OK Now that was yesterday...... This is his plan for today.......

During Tea Parties, President To Highlight Tax Cuts

Real Clear Politics

Tomorrow is Tax Day, and conservatives across the country are planning "Tea Parties," intended to be grass-roots "revolts" against the Obama administration's economic policies thus far. Though organized independent of the Republican Party, a number of officeholders and candidates are planning to attend local events.

At the White House, Robert Gibbs said that he's not sure if President Obama is aware of the planned demonstrations. He will, however, mark the day with a White House event "to signal the important steps in the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment plan that cut taxes for 95 percent of working families in America," Gibbs said.

"We'll use tomorrow to highlight individual instances and families that have seen their taxes cut," he said. "Americans will see more money into their pockets as a direct result of the making work pay tax cut that the president both campaigned on and passed through Congress."

The press secretary said he did not believe the White House would be monitoring the events tomorrow.



Wild Thing's comment.......

Hussein.... LOL ....."Here are some pennies for some of you peasants. The shiny pennies will hopefully distract you from the digging that I shall do in your wallet!!!"

He is such an idiot!!! Businesses don’t pay these increased taxes. They either go out of business laying people off or pass it on to 95% of Americans.

"At the White House, Robert Gibbs said that he's not sure if President Obama is aware of the planned demonstrations."

LMAO oh sure, like we are going to believe that. I bet his teleprompter knows about them.

Ok I will bite for one second. LOL So where has Hussein been then..... praying in the rose garden er ah I mean eco friendly veggie garden to his freaking ALLAH?

BWAHAHAHA! Did you see his CYA speech today? He knows what’s coming.

Act Forces Congress' Return to Limited Government





Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz



Legislator to colleagues: 'Your laws not authorized by Constitution'

wnd

As a reminder of the federal government's limited powers, 20 representatives want to ensure that every single piece of legislation passing through Congress includes a statement citing specific constitutional authority for enacting it.

Sponsored by Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., H.R. 450, or the Enumerated Powers Act, states,

"Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress. …"

When he introduced the proposal Jan. 9, Shadegg gave a House floor speech reminding his colleagues of limited authority granted in the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

It states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"What that means is that the Founding Fathers intended our national government to be a limited government, a government of limited powers that cannot expand its legislative authority into areas reserved to the states or to the people," Shadegg said. "As the final amendment in the 10 Bill of Rights, it is clear that the Constitution establishes a Federal Government of specifically enumerated and limited powers."

For that reason, Shadegg said he has introduced the Enumerated Powers Act each year that he's been in Congress.

"This measure would enforce a constant and ongoing re-examination of the role of our national government," he said. "… It is simply intended to require a scrutiny that we should look at what we enact and that, by doing so, we can slow the growth and reach of the Federal Government, and leave to the states or the people, those functions that were reserved to them by the Constitution."

Shadegg said the act would perform three important functions:

1. It would encourage members of Congress to consider whether their proposed legislation belongs in the federal level in the allocation of powers or whether it belongs with the states or the people.

2. It would force lawmakers to include statements explaining by what authority they are acting.

3. It would give the U.S. Supreme Court the ability to scrutinize constitutional justification for every piece of legislation. If the justification does not hold up, the courts and the people could hold Congress accountable and eliminate acts that reach beyond the scope of the Constitution.

He said the Founding Fathers granted specific, limited powers to the national government to protect the people's freedom.

"As a result, the Constitution gives the Federal Government only 18 specific enumerated powers, just 18 powers," Shadegg noted.

Beginning with President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, he said, Congress has ignored the 10th Amendment and greatly expanded federal government.

"Let me be clear," he said. "Virtually all the measures which go beyond the scope of the powers granted to the Federal Government by the 10th amendment are well-intentioned. But unfortunately, many of them are not authorized by the Constitution. The Federal Government has ignored the Constitution and expanded its authority into every aspect of human conduct, and quite sadly, it is not doing many of those things very well."

While many believe government "can do anything," that is not what the Founding Fathers intended for the nation, Shadegg contends.




Wild Thing's comment........

It’s a wonderful idea! President Reagon required this of his staff for any new regulation. It cut down on a lot of BS.

I sure hope it will pass, but reality says it won't. BUT the thing is as things keep getting worse and worse because of B.Hussein maybe some demcorats will see that this bill is very much needed.

Ari Fleischer Fires Back At Mainstream Media Over Biden Story





Wild Thing's comment........

Good for Ari to speak up about this. The dems have had afield day bashing Bush and it feels good when
our side speaks up against the lies of the left.

My guess is the wait for Biden to prove he did not lie will be as long a wait as we have had waiting for John Kerry and his 108 , or B.Hussein Obama and his birth certificate, and the proof we need from them.

God Bless Rove, He Calls Biden 'Liar' After VP Boasts of Scolding Bush


Former George W. Bush White House adviser Rove tells FOX News' Megyn Kelly that Vice President Joe Biden is simply creating fictional stories when it comes to the supposed details of a particular meeting with the former president.



Rove Calls Biden 'Liar' After VP Boasts of Scolding Bush

FOX news

Republican strategist Karl Rove called Vice President Biden a "liar" on Thursday, dramatically escalating a feud between Biden and aides to former President George W. Bush over Biden's claims to have rebuked Bush in private meetings.

"I hate to say this, but he's a serial exaggerator," Rove told FOX News. "If I was being unkind I would say liar. But it is a habit he ought to drop."

Rove added: "You should not exaggerate and lie like this when you are the Vice President of the United States."

Biden's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, although Biden spokesman Jay Carney told Fox on Wednesday: "The vice president stands by his remarks."

Carney was referring to two controversial assertions by Biden, the latest coming Tuesday during an interview on CNN.

"I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office," Biden began, "'Well, Joe,' he said, 'I'm a leader.' And I said: 'Mr. President, turn and around look behind you. No one is following.'"

The exchange is purely "fictional," said Rove, who was Bush's top political adviser in the White House.

"It didn't happen," Rove, a FOX News contributor and former Bush adviser, told Megyn Kelly in an interview taped for "On The Record." "It's his imagination; it's a made-up, fictional world.

"He ought to get out of it and get back to reality," Rove added. "He's making this up out of whole cloth."


Bush Aides Challenge Biden's Boasts of Oval Office Slapdowns

FOX news

I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office," Biden told CNN, "'Well, Joe,' he said, 'I'm a leader.' And I said: 'Mr. President, turn and around look behind you. No one is following.'"

That exchange never took place, according to numerous Bush aides who also dispute a similar assertion by Biden in 2004, when the former senator from Delaware told scores of Democratic colleagues that he had challenged Bush's moral certitude about the Iraq war during a private meeting in the Oval Office. Two years later, Biden repeated his story about dressing down the president.

"When I speak to the president - and I have had plenty of opportunity to be with the president, at least prior to the last election, a lot of hours alone with him. I mean, meaning me and his staff," Biden said on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" in April 2006. "And the president will say things to me, and I'll literally turn to the president, say: 'Mr. President, how can you say that, knowing you don't know the facts?' And he'll look at me and he'll say - my word - he'll look at me and he'll say: 'My instincts.' He said: 'I have good instincts.' I said: 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough.'"

Bush aides now dispute the veracity of both assertions by Biden.

"I never recall Biden saying any of that," former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said after reviewing detailed notes of Bush's White House meetings with Biden, which include numerous direct quotes from Biden. "I find it odd that he said he met with him alone all the time. I don't think that's true."


Wild Thing's comment......

I’m glad someone finally said it. It drives me nuts how politcians and spokespeople for politicians will not come out and say someone is lying. They’re always tiptoeing around actually saying someone is lying. Biden is such an idiot.

I am so glad Rove is speaking up...keep it coming Rove!!

Democrats Lies just a few of many I will list below:

Al Gore invented the Internet.

Bill Clinton recalled the black churches burning in the Arkansas of his youth.

John Kerry could have made Christopher Reeve walk.

Hillary dodged sniper fire in Bosnia.

Obama was born as a result of Selma.

Biden says he he told off W.

American Tea Party Anthem (with words) by Lloyd Marcus






This song is the National Rallying Cry of the movement against president Obama's outrageous government over reaching stimulus package. Written & performed by Lloyd Marcus.

Lloyd Marcus website


Bob Beckel appeared on Fox News yesterday morning to sneer at the nationwide event. He derided tax revolters in Montana, joking that “It was a good thing it wasn’t a vodka party, because I guarantee you they all had guns.”

The truth is that thousands of people across the country who have never participated in local activism before have driven this phenomenon which started well before Rick Santelli’s now-famous rant.

This is every bit as much about Obama as it is about the GOP lemmings who voted for endless bailouts, who demonized their fiscal conservative colleagues who had their heads on straight, and who continue to sponsor and vote for massive government expansions like the $6 billion national service boondoggle.

Four hundred people turned out in Naples Fl this weekend to raise their voices.

Reader Marie e-mails me that Hawaii’s joining in, too: Hilo Hawaii Tea Party - April 15 Kamehameha Statue, Kamehameha Avenue - Hilo Bayfront 4:30 PM-6:00 PM.

Reader e-mail: “The Chicago Young Republicans have organized a truly spectacular event later in the day on April 15th that’s complementary to the earlier Daley Plaza protest. The afternoon protest ends at 2pm on Michigan Avenue, after a march from Daley Plaza through the city to the plaza by the Tribune Building. At 430pm, the Chicago Young Republicans have scheduled an event at Navy Pier, which is a short walk from the Tribune building east to the lake….The Chicago Young Republicans have pulled out all stops to actually recreate the Boston Tea Party on Lake Michigan with the largest tall ship in the country, and a rally at Navy Pier at the Billy Goat Tavern from 430pm - 9pm on April 15th (including an adventure onto Lake Michigan with the Tall Ship, and both a big sendoff for the ship and a cheer for its return to the dock, all replicating the actual Boston Tea Party).”

President Bush Stops To Thank Vets In Cleburne



President Bush and the Wounded Warriors Road 2 Recovery bike ride that was going to Arlington, Texas this last Saturday/




Pres. Bush Stops To Thank Vets In Cleburne

Dallas/Fort Worth Local News

Former President George W. Bush made a surprise visit on a group of bicyclists raising money and awareness for injured soldiers Saturday.

Mr. Bush's visit to the group, who had been resting for the night in Cleburne, was unannounced because he did not want publicity of the event to take away from what the riders were doing.

Cleburne's Mayor Ted Reynolds and Congressman Chet Edwards had already been scheduled to address the riders before they set out for Arlington. Mr. Bush spoke with the riders on his way down to his Crawford area ranch.

The Wounded Warriors Road 2 Recovery bike ride went from San Antonio up to Arlington, where members of the ride were honored at the start of the Texas Rangers exhibition game Saturday afternoon.

The 60 bicycler riders were all veterans who were injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. They partnered with American Legion posts across Texas for the ride, which began in San Antonio on Tuesday.

President Bush thanked the riders for their service, as well as thanking volunteers and supporters who were helping in the ride.

Actress Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

FOX news

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."

Speaking of dislikes, the starlet has also had enough of the double-standards in the media.

"I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience. I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ‘What is our president doing? How unclassy!’ But Obama does it and no one says anything," Harmon said.

And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.

"I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me."

However Harmon is definitely in the Hollywood minority when it comes to her criticism of Obama as other lasses at the Latisse party were quick to advocate their unequivocal support.



Wild Thing's comment.........

Angie has been a Republican for a long time, I am so glad about this article. She is is married to former professional football player Jason Sehorn. She and her husband delivered a speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

Angie was born in Dallas, Texas and lives with her husband and children in Calif.

I am very proud of her for speaking out, she has done this before. Nicholas said one time they dropped her from a show because of it. That is what it is like in Hollywood, and there are a lot of Republicans there but they stay silent. Not only actresses and actors but also others that work on the shows and films. Script girls, makeup people, wardrobe people, set decorators etc.

God bless Angie!!!

Kudos to Senator Tom Coburn GREAT Speech



Coburn Outraged at Omnibus Spending




Wild Thing's comment.........

Colburn explains that the Democrats have the votes to pass any bill yet are still blocking debate and amendments. He tells Democrats they lack honor, dignity and courage. He is absolutely, positively correct.

I wish some of these few, very few conservative Republicans lived in Florida. ( deep sigh) Instead we have rino's to vote for.

Awesome Gov. Bobby Jindal Defends Those Who Want Obama to Fail



Governor Bobby Jindal headlined a major congressional fundraiser Tuesday night in Washington.

Before getting to the heart of his speech, Jindal cracked a few jokes on himself. The governor also told his audience it would be happy to know he was not speaking from a teleprompter.

Jindal Urges GOP to Stand Up to Obama

WASHINGTON

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal again found himself carrying the Republican mantle opposite a primetime appearance from President Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying Republicans must be ready to defy the president when they disagree with his policies. He also joked about his widely panned response to Obama's address to Congress last month.

"We are now in the position of being the loyal opposition," Jindal said at a Republican congressional fundraising dinner that only by coincidence fell on the same night as Obama's news conference. "The right question to ask is not if we want the president to fail or succeed, but whether we want America to succeed."
Saying "the time for talking about the past is over," Jindal said Republicans have begun to find their voice after back-to-back elections losses — motivated by what he called historic Democratic spending excess.

Jindal is widely considered a potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate, but his televised response to Obama's speech at the Capitol last month was widely panned. Some compared his delivery to the late children's television host Mister Rogers and said the address could hurt Jindal's national potential.

At Tuesday's $2,500-per-plate dinner — which President George W. Bush headlined last year — Jindal opened his speech by poking fun of himself. He threatened to deliver a reprise of the earlier performance and then jokingly compared it to torture.
"They're not allowed to show my speech at Gitmo anymore," he said. "They've banned that."

La. Gov. Jindal urges GOP to stand up to Obama

Jindal defends those who want Obama to fail

My Way

It's OK for Republicans to want President Obama to fail if they think he's jeopardizing the country, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told members of his political party Tuesday night.

Jindal described the premise of the question -- "Do you want the president to fail?" -- as the "latest gotcha game" being perpetrated by Democrats against Republicans.

"Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, 'Why no sir, I don't want the president to fail,' is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism," Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. "This is political correctness run amok."

Since conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped that Obama would fail, Republicans have been pressed by Democrats and the media about Limbaugh's comments.

Now…in the short time I have left, let me comment directly on the latest gotcha game that I have noticed occurring in Washington today, and it is a game that the left has been playing and that some in the media have gone along with.

I’ve noticed that some of the Democrats in Congress have begun badgering Republican leaders with this question – They simply respond to any criticism of the President by asking – “so, do you want the President to fail? Do you? Do you? Yes or no?”

I’m going to give you a very direct answer to that question in just a minute. I will not disappoint. I will be very direct.

But first, let’s take a look at the question, the motive behind it, and what is really afoot here.

The suggestion behind the “do you want the President to fail question” is this – If you don’t answer their question with a loud “NO” immediately, if you don’t express instant obedience to the question, then you are not really a patriot, and you are essentially trying to undermine America.

Make no mistake, anything other than an immediate and compliant – “why no sir, I don’t want the President to fail” is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience, or political obstructionism.

This is political correctness run amok.

And let’s be clear, the very Democrat leaders who are now asking this phony question, are the ones who for so long wanted to see the last President fail, regardless of the issue, and regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

There is a very important role in our Republic for the loyal opposition. And we must be both. We are loyal to this country, and to the Republic on which it stands, one nation under God. And we will always be so. And we are loyal to the President of the United States, whether he is a Democrat or a Republican.

But make no mistake, loyalty does not mean we have to agree with his policies.

And we are also at present the opposition party. We are the party out of power. And it is altogether right and proper, and healthy for our Democracy, for us to speak up when we do not agree with the policies that this President pushes and proposes.

I will not be brow beaten on this, and I will not kow-tow to their political correctness. We will be the loyal opposition.

So…my answer to the question is very simple –

“Do you want the President to fail?”

It depends on what he is trying to do.

There is something far more important to us than whether the President or ANY politician fails.

Far more importantly, we don’t want America to fail.

When and if the President wants to cut taxes on job providers, reduce our national debt, stop the massive explosion of government spending, make good on his promise to seek earmark reforms, govern in a way that is fiscally responsible consistent with his rhetoric in his campaign, and act in a truly bi-partisan fashion, then I want him to succeed and I wish him God speed.

Let me repeat in case anyone misses the point, when and if the President pursues those policies, I do NOT want him to fail, I want him to succeed.

However -

When the President wants to spend our country into interminable debt, putting not only this generation but future generations into a position where the only way out will be massive tax increases…we oppose that policy, not because we want the President to fail, but because we want America to succeed.

When the President wants to increase taxes on small biz owners, the very people who create 70% of the jobs in the country…we oppose that policy, because we want America to succeed.

When the President wants to change the law so that taxpayer’s money is used for abortions…we say no, because we want all Americans, born and unborn to succeed.

When the President wants to use the stimulus bill as an opportunity to radically grow the size of government …we oppose him because we want America to succeed.

When the President wants to change the rules so that union elections are no longer conducted by private ballot, the way all American elections are conducted …we will not go along, because we want America to have the freedom to succeed.

When the President considers attempts to squelch media outlets that are not favorable to him by pursing the unfair “fairness doctrine” …we will not support that policy, because liberty is a key ingredient of American success.

When the President talks about striking the very word “enemy combatant” from our vocabulary …we disagree because we want Americans to succeed in every corner of the world.

When the President pursues polices that spend too much, tax too much, and borrow too much … we will not go along, because we are committed to making sure that America succeeds both now and in the future.

And when the President pursues polices that are akin to those of European socialism … policies that taken too far could cause America to fail, we will oppose, and we will stand up and be counted, and we will do so proudly, not because we want the President to fail, but because we want America to succeed.

And by the way…I make no apologies for any of these positions, and neither should any of you.

Thank you all for you time tonight, thank you for what you do for America, may God bless you all, and may the loyal opposition continue to speak out and stand on principle. Thank you again, and good night.

Excellent! He was awesome, I wish I could have found the video of this. But I looked and could not find it. It starts with one Hero...and I am praying he emerges to the forefront, meanwhile I am praying for the ones I am keeping track of right now. Sarah yes but also some others.


Powerful interview from yesterday too.

RUSH: While President Obama was delivering a typically boring and professorial press conference last night, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, was addressing the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee dinner in Washington, DC.

JINDAL: The suggestion behind this question, "Do you want the president to fail?" is this: If you don't answer that question with a loud "no" immediately, if you don't express instant obedience to the question, then they're trying to suggest you're not really a patriot. They're essentially saying that you're trying to undermine America. Make no mistake. Anything other than an immediate, a compliant, "Why, no, sir, I don't want the president to fail" is treated as some act of treason, civil disobedience, or political obstructionism. Let's be clear. The very democratic leaders who are now asking this phony question are the ones who for so long wanted to see the last president fail, regardless of the issue, regardless of whether he was right or wrong.

RUSH: Bobby Jindal. They're applauding. The people at the Republican congressional campaign dinner in Washington were actually applauding. This is something Republicans could learn. He's right. "Do you agree with Limbaugh, you want the president to fail?" "Oh, no, no, no, I want him to succeed, of course we want the president to succeed." Jindal goes, "Come on, can we get real?" The question's a setup. They want to call you a traitor if you say you don't want the president to succeed. And what he goes on to say is, let's not forget who wanted Bush to fail and in the middle of a war, and they wanted the military to fail. And he continued.

JINDAL: I'll not be browbeaten on this. I won't kowtow to their political correctness. We will be the loyal opposition. So my answer to this question is very simple. When they ask, "Do you want the president to fail?" It depends on what he is trying to do. There is something far more important to us than whether the president or any politician fails. Far more importantly we don't want America to fail. (applause) When the president wants to spend our country into debt, interminable debt, putting not only this generation but future generations into a position where the only way out will be massive tax increases, we oppose that policy, not because we want the president to fail, but because we want Americans to succeed.

JINDAL: When he pursues policies that are akin to those of European socialism, policies that, taken too far, could cause America to fail, we will oppose, we will stand up and be counted, we'll do so proudly, not because we want the president to fail, but because we want America to succeed.

Sen. Fred Thompson Says Obama Budget Plans Defy "Logic, Common Sense, and History"


Sen. Fred Thompson on CNN's American Morning today with John Roberts where he got the usual question of whether or not he wants President Obama to "fail." Fred answered it exactly right, saying he wants Obama's policies to fail if they are bad for America. Thompson gets down to brass tacks when he says that Obama's claim that through massive spending and debt he can produce prosperity simply defies "logic, common sense, and history."

Democrat Rep.Neil Abercrombie Does NOT Respect Our Constitution


U.S. Rep. Bill Posey



Suggesting eligibility proof gets congressman scorned

wnd

By Bob Unruh

A new member of Congress arrived in Washington to a flood of questions from his constituency about Barack Obama's eligibility to be president: Was he really born in the United States, and was he qualified under the Constitution's requirement that the office be occupied only by a "natural born" citizen?

So U.S. Rep. Bill Posey did what most congressmen would do regarding a subject of grave concern to their voters: He proposed a bill that would require future presidential candidates to document their eligibility. And that has earned him scorn and ridicule.

"What you should do is stop embarrassing yourself and take the Reynolds Wrap off your head," MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann suggested to Posey.

U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, has gone so far as to suggest that Posey's judgment is skewed.

It's one thing to try to be responsive to your constituents, no matter how marginal," Abercrombie told the St. Petersburg Times. "I understand that. But to take it to the point of putting it into a bill -- you open yourself up, then, to having your judgment questioned."

Abercrombie said legislation generally is to "address common issues or concerns."

"The citizenship of someone who has reached the point of running for president of the United States is not really an issue," Abercrombie said.
"Why'd I do this?" Posey wrote on his blog. "Well, for a number of reasons and the more and more I get called names by leftwing activists, partisan hacks and political operatives for doing it, the more and more I think I did the right thing."
He said, "I've been called some pretty nasty things. That's fine. But none of these tolerant people actually want to discuss the issue at hand … whether or not a presidential candidate should have to file these documents with the government.
"I could easily fill up a page listing all the activities an American needs to show their ID for … everything from playing youth soccer to getting a drivers license, buying cigarettes and alcohol, to opening bank accounts and even playing little league. So I was pretty surprised to find out that to run for president, despite the constitutional requirement and the media scrubbing that goes on, it's not required for a candidate to file these documents when they submit their statement of candidacy with the FEC," he said.

Posey comes from a background of reforming elections. In Florida after the 2000 recounts and lawsuits, he worked to offer solutions. So when he arrived in Washington, the questions raised by voters and his investigation of the constitutional demands led him to his suggestion.

"I thought I could offer a solution to this question on eligibility," he wrote. "There's nothing anyone can do about changing past elections… the president won. All the lawsuits in the world are not going to change that. But if what some folks are worried about – that presidential candidates don't have to submit to the same documentation that average folks have to submit to – well, then we can change that for the next election."

Posey cited an AOL poll that found three-quarters of Americans participating in the survey agreed.

"I'm willing to discuss this issue with anyone who wants to talk in a rational manner, but I WILL NOT engage in name calling, smear campaigns, or any other venomous activity," Posey wrote. "For one thing, it's childish. But on another level, we're supposed to be able to have a civil debate on the issues in this country."

Posey's spokesman, George Cecala, told WND the congressman has no plans to withdraw the proposal, even though it may not get a lot of support.

Abercrombie told the Times Posey's suggestion is " the kind of sick politics that permeates a certain portion of the electorate."
But Posey said he would have made the proposal even if a Republican had won the White House.
WND reported Posey's H.R. 1503, an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, would "require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of president to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."


Wild Thing's comment.........

This is just amazing how they fight this thing and from people that are supposed to uphold our Constitution. Thank God for Rep. Bill Posey !

And Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii should be ashamed of himself!!!!! He is a disgrace to any office he would hold. A traitor to our Constitution!


Today I am going to call Congressman Posey’s Washington office and thanked him for his bill and I have already written my Congressman asking him to at least support or preferably join in this effort.

Wonderful Dick Cheney Tells the Truth:"Obama making U.S. less safe" (video)




Cheney: Obama has made America less safe




Cheney: Obama's Changes to Anti-Terrorism Policy Will Raise the Risk of Attack

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warns that the administration is transitioning to a pre-9/11 mindset that views terrorism as a "law enforcement problem" and not a military threat.

FOX news

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that the Obama administration will "raise the risk" of a terrorist attack by overhauling his predecessor's approach to the War on Terror.

Cheney sharply criticized Obama's decisions to close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, limit the methods CIA officers use to interrogate terror suspects and suspend military tribunals for alleged terrorists, saying those decisions taken together will make Americans less safe
.

And he warned that the administration was transitioning to a pre-9/11 mindset that views terrorism as a "law enforcement problem" and not a military threat.

"When you go back to the law enforcement mode, which I sense is what they're doing ... they are very much giving up that center of attention and focus that's required, and that concept of military threat that is essential if you're going to successfully defend the nation against further attacks," Cheney said on CNN's "State of the Union."
He said the Bush administration's tough anti-terrorism policies were "absolutely essential" to the military's ability to gather the intelligence that helped foil "all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11."
Cheney added: "President Obama campaigned against it all across the country. And now he is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack."

Obama has suspended military trials for suspected terrorists and announced he will close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as well as overseas sites where the CIA has held some detainees. The president also ordered CIA interrogators to abide by the U.S. Army Field Manual's regulations for treatment of detainees and denounced waterboarding, part of the Bush program of enhanced interrogation, as torture.

Asked if he thought Obama has made Americans less safe with those actions, Cheney replied, "I do."

Some Democratic lawmakers and other administration critics have denounced those and other Bush programs, such as warrantless surveillance, as counterproductive and illegal. In defending these policies established by President George W. Bush following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Cheney said he had seen a report itemizing specific attacks that had been stopped because of the intelligence gathered through those programs.


"It's still classified. I can't give you the details of it without violating classification, but I can say there were a great many of them," he said.

Cheney said the March 2003 invasion of Iraq has led to democratic elections and a constitution as well as the defeat of al-Qaida in Iraq and Iran's efforts to influence events in Iraq.

"We have succeeded in creating in the heart of the Middle East a democratically governed Iraq, and that is a big deal, and it is, in fact, what we set out to do," he said.

Asked if he was declaring "mission accomplished" -- those words graced a banner aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln that heralded Bush's overly optimistic declaration on May 1, 2003, that major combat operations had ended in Iraq -- Cheney replied: "I wouldn't use that, just because it triggers reactions that we don't need."

He added: "But I would ask people -- and the press, too -- to take an honest look at the circumstances in Iraq today and how far we've come."



Limbaugh gets big time support from Dick Cheney

CNN ....... , Cheney weighed in on Rush Limbaugh’s challenge to debate President Obama.

“Hell, I’d pay to see that,” Cheney said. “I think Rush is a good man.”

What about the claim last week from another conservative who said Limbaugh is kryptonite?

Anything but, said Cheney.

“Rush is a good friend. I love him. I think he does great work and has for years.”




Wild Thing's comment.........

God bless Dick Cheney, gosh I miss him so much!!! I am so glad to see that Cheney is not going be silenced.

KING: I’d like to just simply ask you, yes or no, by taking those steps, do you believe the president of the United States has made Americans less safe?

CHENEY: I do.

And so do all of us VP Cheney. We agree with you, Obama has done many things to make us less safe and our also put our troops in more danger as well.

Cheney is confident in who he is and never has bowed down to anyone. Remember what he told the press when they asked him about Libby. “He was my friend!”

Off topic but about Limbaugh:

an e-mail received by Rush Limbaugh in 1992:

Source

Dear Rush,

Thanks for all you're doing to promote Republican and conservative principles. Now that I've retired from active politics, I don't mind that you have become the Number One voice for conservatism in our Country.

I know the liberals call you "the most dangerous man in America," but don't worry about it, they used to say the same thing about me. Keep up the good work. America needs to hear the way things ought to be."

Sincerely, Ron

RNC's Michael Steele Attacks Rush Limbaugh and imo Conservatives!



This is the longer version and HERE you will hear Michael Stelle nods to AGREE with these two lefties that the Republican party at the RNC convention looked like the Nazi party. Why the heck couldn't he respond to the didn't dispute the Nazi Germany quote ! GRRRRR


Politico


On the same night he was offering the keynote address to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Rush Limbaugh drew criticism from an unlikely source: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

In a little-noticed interview Saturday night, Steele dismissed Limbaugh as an “entertainer” whose show is “incendiary” and “ugly.”

Steele’s criticism makes him the highest-ranking Republican to pick a fight with the popular and polarizing conservative talk show host.

But the new RNC chairman’s extraordinary comments won’t sit well with the millions of conservative listeners Limbaugh draws each week, and Steele aides scrambled to limit the damage Monday morning by trying to change the subject.

“Rahm Emanuel and the Democrats know they lose an argument with the Republican Party on substance so they are building straw men to attack and distract,” said RNC spokesman Alex Conant.

“The feud between radio host Rush Limbaugh and Rahm Emanuel makes great political theater, but it is a sideshow to the important work going on in Washington. RNC Chairman Michael Steele and elected Republicans are focused on fighting for reform and winning elections. The Democrats’ problem is that the American people are growing skeptical of the massive government spending being pushed by Congressional leaders like Nancy Pelosi.”

Limbaugh, asked to respond, said he’d save his counter-attack for his listeners.

“I’ll handle it on the radio,” he wrote in an e-mail.

In an interview on CNN with D.L. Hughley, Steele assured that he, not Limbaugh, was in charge of the party before saying that he wanted to put the right-wing talker “into context.”

“Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer,” Steele said. “Rush Limbaugh, his whole thing is entertainment. Yes it’s incendiary, yes it’s ugly.”


Rush Responds to Michael Steele.........................

This video below is from Rush's show on Monday.
Rush Limbaugh: Michael Steele

Awesome comeback by Rush that he did on his show Monday

Wild Thing's comment..........

So we have the head of the RNC not the party just the head of the RNC bashing a conservative that has been doing a great ob for 20 years. Conservatives are no longer welcome in the RNC.

Michael Steele represents what's wrong with the GOP. It disses conservatives. Keep it up and the party will be set for a repeat of the last two elections!

Steele is NO conservative that's for sure or he would have been glad to know what Rush said.

Steele is out of his league and this proves it. Steele and others aren’t as quick on their feet as Rush is. In the response to ‘isn’t Rush the ‘head of the Republican party’ he should have said, and he knows this, that Rush has never claimed to be, but he is a strong player in the conservative movement, etc. etc.

It is like Rush has said, when you feel it in your heart and soul as a conservative you don't need a teleprompter, you don't need talking points and you can give a comeback as well without messing up like Steele has done.

Hell I would not be nervous to go on any show opposite any of the liberals and stand up for conservatives like Rush or conservative beliefs. And all of you here at this blog would be excellent at it! Your passion and beliefs run deep!

Michael Steele was thrown because he LET HIS EGO GET IN THE WAY! When DL Hughley said Rush was the head of the Republican party, Michael responded too quickly all from his ego and not from his brain. He should have kept his ego under wraps for one thing.

The RNC had better wake up and realize that this is war against the enemy within the left and stop being part of the problem.
If Republican leaders can’t speak with a consistent message then you undermine the Conservative platform. Rush delivered a precise and accurate message to Conservatives.

I’ll stick with Rush...he’s been on message ever since I started listening to him since his first day on EIB 20 years ago. He’s been saying what the RNC needs to hear/heed and they refuse to listen.

Rush's speech at CPAC was incredible. One of the all-time greats!! I was cheering and applauding most of the time.

I had hopes for Steele...now he’s just another politician that changes his tune when the wind blows.

Truth hurts and Rush is right - not standing up for our principles is what got us into this mess. We MUST unite and stand firm to fight the wolves at the door.


I emailed them and let them know how bad this is what Michael Steele did and how sick of this bs I am, this attacking conservatives in our party.

UPDATE: for what it is worth

Steele to Rush: I'm sorry

Politico

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”

“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

Steele, who won a hard-fought chairman's race on Jan. 30, told Politico he telephoned Limbaugh after his show on Monday afternoon and hoped that they would connect soon.

“I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."
“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”

On Monday night, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine called on Republicans to "stop following divisive figures" like Limbaugh.

"I was briefly encouraged by the courageous comments made my counterpart in the Republican Party over the weekend challenging Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party and referring to his show as ‘incendiary’ and ‘ugly,’" Kaine said in a statement. "However, Chairman Steele’s reversal this evening and his apology to Limbaugh proves the unfortunate point that Limbaugh is the leading force behind the Republican Party, its politics and its obstruction of President Obama’s agenda in Washington."
In the interview with Politico, Steele called Limbaugh “a very valuable conservative voice for our party.”
“He brings a very important message to the American people to wake up and pay attention to what the administration is doing," Steele said. "Number two, there are those out there who want to look at what he’s saying as incendiary and divisive and ugly. That’s what I was trying to say. It didn’t come out that way. … He does what he does best, which is provoke: He provokes thought, he provokes the left. And they’re clearly the ones who are most excited about him.”
Asked if he planned to apologize, Steele said: “I wasn’t trying to offend anybody. So, yeah, if he’s offended, I’d say: Look, I’m not in the business of hurting people’s feelings here. … My job is to try to bring us all together.”

Rush Limbaugh Wraps Up CPAC Today With Speech




Rush Limbaugh will give ia speech and also he will receive the "Defender of the Constitution award."



Rush Wraps Up CPAC on Saturday


RUSH : Listen to Carl Cameron's report on Fox. Fox News is going to carry the speech live at five o'clock. They've been promoing it since last night, they're promoing it all morning today, and I'm saying, "Man, I better be good, all this attention?" (interruption) "Well, this is the head of the party." No. I'm not the head of the party. See, this is where these Looney Toons are missing the whole boat here. If I'm head of anything, which I'm not, but if I'm head of anything, it's conservatism, but not the party.

You know, Clint Eastwood had it right, Clint Eastwood said he's fed up with political correctness. He's fed up with everybody trying to be politically correct. He's fed up with nobody being able to laugh anymore. He's fed up with not being able to tell race jokes and ethnic jokes. When he was growing up, everybody did. Nobody took offense at it. Every race tells jokes about the other race. Every country tells jokes about people in other countries. We can't do it anymore. And he's right, and, as such, people don't understand humor any more, unless it's liberal humor, and liberals especially do not laugh. I never see a happy one. Even liberal comics are angry and filled with rage. I just never see it. This program's one of the funniest programs on the radio and the libs don't get one syllable of it, which, to me, is sort of fun at the same time, 'cause I can tweak 'em any time I want to, and they don't even know that they're being played. Anyway, here's Carl Cameron this morning, reporting live from the Conservative Political Action Conference.

CAMERON: The radio icon always a polarizer, love him or hate him, liberals hate him, here the conservatives at this CPAC conference are just in a lather waiting for him here. It's the biggest turnout, people are talking about how Republicans are in disarray and have problems because of the last election and the breakdown. They acknowledge that here, but there's no sense of demoralization at all. The GOP and conservatives ready to get sort of back to core principles and see the Obama administration and the Democrat control of Congress as the perfect opportunity for them to do it.

RUSH: Largest crowd ever, is what Carl Cameron and others have been saying. So it will be on TV at five o'clock, and I'm on time.

Townhall.com Presents CPAC 2009 Online

Click here to watch live streaming of the entire conference via UStream.tv

9:00 a.m. - 6:p.m.

Rush is scheduled to be on at 5:00 p.m.

Also Rush's speech will air on FON news channel at 5:00 EST as well

I caught CPAC also was shown yesterday on C-SPAN

So there are a few place if you would like to see it available.




Also Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to speak and I guess is unable to make it. So she did an interview instead and they will be showing her video. I am not sure if they will show the interview on TV or just in one of the conference rooms of the conference.


Yesterday House Republican Leader John Boehner told conservatives today at CPAC that the Democratic Majority and President Obama are taking the first steps toward an American brand of socialism.


"First it was the stimulus, then the omnibus and now the budget," Boehner said during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference. "It's all a down payment on a new American socialist experiment."
"The spending barrage is just beginning," he added.

Pro-Abortion Rep. Groups Announce New Partnership to Weaken GOP



Pro-Abortion Republican Groups Announce New Partnership to Weaken GOP

Washington, DC

(LifeNews.com)


Two pro-abortion Republican groups have announced a newly-formed partnership designed to weaken the long-standing pro-life platform the GOP maintains. The Republican Majority for Choice and the WISH List (Women in the Senate and House) hope to team up to drag the party to the left.

Colleen Parro, the head of the Republican National Coalition for Life tells LifeNews.com about the new effort.

"Feeling scorned after eighteen years of trying and failing to remove the pro-life language from the Republican national platform, and with the last three Republican presidential administrations [taking a pro-life stance], pro-choice Republican women are trying to make a come-back," Parro said.
The two pro-abortion groups say they plan to “continue the battle for personal freedoms and choice in the GOP.”
Parro says that means they favor "getting rid of the pro-life plank and electing abortion-friendly candidates to office."

Last summer, the Republican Party's platform committee put together a new pro-life party platform that contains some of the strongest language ever condemning abortion and supporting legal protections for unborn children.

It stood in stark contrast to the pro-abortion plank Democrats approved at the behest of President Barack Obama.

The platform draws on the nation's founding documents as expressing the earliest support for human life but backs a Constitutional amendment to make those protections clear.

"Faithful to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence, we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed," the final GOP platform draft says.
"We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment's protections apply to unborn children," it added.

During the primary election campaign, exit polling data showed Republicans in most states took a pro-life position by wanting all or most abortions illegal.

Some 19 of 24 states with publicly-available data showed pro-life Republican majorities.

Former Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele, who is pro-life, was recently elected as the new chairman of the Republican Party.

Yeah, well I favor throwing them out of the GOP. Why don’t they just register as Democrats if they want to kill babies.

Go to hell RINOS! And why are these people Republicans again? Pro-Life is part of the soul of the GOP, and that won’t change! The GOP IS a pro-life party!

Apparently, those RINOs are having a very difficult time admitting that, deep down inside, they are DEMOCRATS!!!! They need to all be thrown out of the party (and take Snowe, Collins and Specter with you, please!)!

Remembering President Ronald Reagan


President Ronald Reagan (February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004)



"Terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength. They are invited by the perception of weakness."
-Ronald Reagan

"Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."- Reagan

"Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships." -- Ronald Reagan

"The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become." - President Ronald Reagan, speech to The Creative Society, 1968.

"If we look to the answer as to why, for so many years, we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here, in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price."- Ronald Reagan, First Inaugural Address, January 20, 1981.

"American dream isn't one of making government bigger; it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God." - Ronald Reagan, State of the Union Address, January 25, 1984.

"I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of whining voices telling us we can't do this and we can't do that. . . . Don't tell Americans what they can't do, just tell them what needs doing and then let them surprise you with their ingenuity. "- Ronald Reagan. Speech on recession, Jan. 1982.

"Mankind's best defense against tyranny and want is limited government--a government which empowers its people, not itself, and which respects the wit and bravery, the initiative, and the generosity of the people. For, above all, human rights are rights of individuals: rights of conscience, rights of choice, rights of association, rights of emigration, rights of self-directed action, and the right to own property. The concept of a nation of free men and women linked together voluntarily is the genius of the system our Founding Fathers established." - President Ronald Reagan, Proclamation 4885 - Bill of Rights Day, December 4, 1981.

"They were going to put seventeen unemployed people to work in a so-called training project clearing some park land. I vetoed the program because they were going to spend half the budget on seven administrators to see that the seventeen got to work on time." - Governor Ronald Reagan, to Students, April 12, 1973

"Our constitution is a document that protects the people from government." - Governor Ronald Reagan, to Students, Sept. 17, 1973.

"Why is the Constitution of the United States so exceptional?... Just three words: We the people. In... other constitutions, the Government tells the people of those countries what they are allowed to do. In our Constitution, we the people tell the Government what it can do. "- Ronald Reagan, State of the Union address. January 27, 1987.


""The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology." - Ronald Reagan


Wild Thing's comment......

I guess I am still in shock about Obama and all he is doing. I forgot it was President Reagan's birthday yesterday. Some of you wrote to me and I thank you so much for reminding me. I really appreicate it.

President Reagan will always be the greatest President in my lifetime!

Former VP Dick Cheney Warns of New Attacks



Cheney Warns of New Attacks

newsmax

By: Dave Eberhart Article Font Size

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is blasting the fledgling administration of Barack Obama, arguing that its policies dealing with terrorism and international foes are naïve and dangerous, making it all the more likely that terrorists will succeed in their next attempt at killing Americans, according to a report in Politico.

Simply by closing Guantanamo Bay’s detention camp for terrorists, Cheney said, Obama inadvertently will aid enemies eager to make another attack on the United States. Another major attack on this country — perhaps even using biological or nuclear materials — is very likely in the next few years, Cheney said.
“I think there’s a high probability of such an attempt,” Cheney said. “Whether or not they can pull it off depends whether or not we keep in place policies that have allowed us to defeat all further attempts, since 9/11, to launch mass-casualty attacks against the United States.”

Cheney opined that the inevitable attack will be “a 9/11-type event where the terrorists are armed with something much more dangerous than an airline ticket and a box cutter — a nuclear weapon or a biological agent of some kind” that is set off in an American city.

In a wide-ranging interview with Politico, Cheney emphasized the usefulness of the interrogations at Gitmo while lambasting the policies emerging from the new administration.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an al-Qaida terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.
Concentrating on the merits of Gitmo, Cheney described it as a first-class operation, noting that one of the painful lessons learned was the penchant for those detainees who were released to return to their terrorist roots.
He noted that 61 of the inmates who were released from Guantanamo during the Bush administration had “gone back into the business of being terrorists.” He also characterized the remaining 200 or so remaining detainees as “hard core” cases that were even more likely to be repeat offenders.
Releasing the prisoners or ramping up their due process would be unwise, Cheney charged.
“The United States needs to be not so much loved as it needs to be respected. Sometimes, that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I’m not at all sure that that’s what the Obama administration believes,” he said.
Cheney defended the hard-line tactics of the Bush administration as responsible for the safety of the country after 9/11.
“If it hadn’t been for what we did — with respect to the terrorist surveillance program, or enhanced interrogation techniques for high-value detainees, the Patriot Act, and so forth — then we would have been attacked again,” he said. “Those policies we put in place, in my opinion, were absolutely crucial to getting us through the last seven-plus years without a major-casualty attack on the U.S.”
Protecting the country’s security is “a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business,” he said. “These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”


Wild Thing's comment........

God bless Dick Cheney!!! Fantastic!!

"When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an al-Qaida terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said

Outstanding and thanks for pointing this out.

This is unprecendented. Cheney is old school. Cheney types do NOT make statements like this about a sitting President. This is not politics it is a fair warning of what all of us with commom sense know and I think Cheney is speaking to Obama and to the ones in Obama's cabinet that KNOW MORE WHAT they are doing than Obama.

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky. I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction. I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance. I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea.

President Bush and Laura Receive Rousing Welcome at Baylor Basketball Game



Baylor University Women's Basketball game, and the wonderful response President Bush and Larua received.



President Bush watches Lady Bears game in first public outing since leaving office


waco trib


At times, it seemed as if Baylor Lady Bears basketball coach Kim Mulkey might turn and ask former President George W. Bush to exert his influence and change a referee’s call Wednesday night at the Ferrell Center.

Who knows? Bush might have obliged.

In his first public appearance since leaving the White House, Bush sat beside his wife, Laura Bush, just behind the Baylor bench as the No. 4-ranked Lady Bears lost to No. 2 Oklahoma, 56-51.

Bush said recently in a television interview that he wanted to attend a Baylor women’s basketball game. He made good on that statement by joining the 8,220 in attendance Wednesday.

“Most of all, I was excited to get to say hello to Kim,” Bush said. “I got to know her when they won the national championship and they came to the Oval Office. She is a dynamic person. She’s really one of the country’s great coaches.”

Bush met the Lady Bears for a pre-game pep talk about 30 minutes before tipoff.

His message: Seize the moment.

“I told them that every moment in life is precious, and this is a big moment for them,” Bush said. “There’s no question in my mind they’ll give it their all, and I wish them all the best.”

The Bushes walked through the tunnel and into the Ferrell Center with Mulkey just before the playing of the national anthem.

At the first timeout, public address announcer Derek Smith introduced the former president and first lady to a standing ovation.

Though reserved for much of the first half, Bush stood and clapped with the Baylor fans seconds after Lady Bears guard Jessica Morrow connected on a 3-pointer at the end of the first half.

Before the game, the Baylor players took pictures with the former president and first lady.

“It was definitely an honor and a privilege to have him here,” Baylor sophomore guard Melissa Jones said. “To be able to talk to him and shake his hand was remarkable.”

Mulkey said a win over Oklahoma would have made the night perfect, but even having lost to the Sooners, the Lady Bears will cherish the memory.

“You bet it’s special,” Mulkey said. “It’s a night none of us will forget. He said to the kids in the locker room before the game this was his first public outing since being out of office. That’s pretty special. The only thing that could’ve made it better was a win.”

The Bushes stayed the entire game, keeping their seats even as many of the Lady Bears’ faithful exited with the Sooners in control with four seconds remaining.

The Bushes posed for photos during timeouts in the second half as Baylor fans grew bolder in approaching the courtside seats.

Mulkey’s daughter, Makenzie Robertson, joined the Bushes early in the second half. Robertson, a member of the Midway girls’ varsity basketball team, was still wearing her uniform, having played a game earlier in the evening in Cleburne.

Though the Lady Bears are now 0-1 with the Bushes in attendance, some Baylor fans say they would like to see the former first family become regulars at the Ferrell Center.

Good they deserve it. I can't believe the media and Obama and Biden are still bashing Bush.

Michael Steele Wins RNC Chairmanship ~ Congratulations!







Michael Steele Wins RNC Chairmanship


"As a little boy growing up in this town, this is awesome," said Steele, the most moderate candidate in the field and considered an outsider because he's not a committee member.

In a brief acceptance speech, the new GOP chairman struck a tone of inclusiveness.

"We're going to say to friend and foe alike: We want you to be a part of us, we want you to with be with us, and for those who wish to obstruct, get ready to get knocked over," Steele said.




Wild Thing's comment.........

Kudos to you Michael. Now stand tall and proud. Be strong and push conservative principles. Do not falter and do not shrink from the fight against Obama and the Democrats.

When he was running for LT. Governor, the democratic party, with the help of Chuck Schumer, illegally gained access to his credit report .


From the past:

"Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.

Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an “Uncle Tom” and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report — the only Republican candidate so targeted.

But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with “pointing out the obvious.”

The Republican Party and The RINO's Plan To Destory It





Republican Battle for Party Chief Pits Leaders, Base

Bloomberg.com for COMPLETE ARTICLE

Republican leaders’ efforts to select a new national party chairman are stirring concerns among a vital constituency: Republican voters.

Rank-and-file Republicans are telling their leaders they want more ethnic, gender and age diversity in a party that is dominated by white males. They also want party leaders to cooperate with President Barack Obama, according to surveys.



Wild Thing's comment..........

This article ABOVE is a very long article, it is one page at the website but small print so it would be way to long to post here and I think we all need to read it if you have the time. According to this article, the “base” wants the party to be even more liberal. It says the base wants leaders who will cooperate with Obama. Sounds like more of those “reach across the aisle” types. No thanks. This article above is obviously intended to push rather than report. I am glad John sent it to me because we need to see the propaganda and some truth thown in too is being written and how these lefties in our party are working to destroy us.....the conservatives.

I have to say that is it a known fact that there have been people on the LEFT that have registered in the Republican Party for one purpose only and that is to destroy it. To bring it down and make it as liberal as possible.

Two years ago when the election began for President I was shocked at how a few, only a few, of the so called conservative bloggers were putting down good conservative people in our party, people that have worked hard back when Reagan ran for President. I was in a group of bloggers that I am no longer a part of and the whole reason I no longer participate is because I will not be associating with groups of any kind that want to mock and bash conservatives that have been heroes to we conservatives and what has set the RNC apart from the DNC.

One of the reasons I am a dittohead a Rush listener is because he has been consistent and never wavered in his being politically conservative. He thinks like I do on so many things.

I am going to post Rush's take on here about this article. Rush spent most of his third hour discussing it on Friday, and I want to show you a few things he said about the article above. I will post the link but I am not sure if it will work if a person is not a member of his Rush 24/7 it might not show up.

Liberals Plan to Separate Elected Republicans from Their Voters


I think what's coming is going to be a concerted effort by the Obama administration to separate our elected officials from us on the Republican side. Colin Powell is working on that. Colin Powell is already out there saying Republicans should ignore Limbaugh, meaning conservatives, plus me. McCain, New York Times story today, "The Maverick is Back." And what does that mean? It means he's back criticizing the Republican Party, and they're celebrating it. So I think what's going to happen, Obama had a meeting with congressional leaders today, and it's a wild guess, but my assumption is that there's going to be an attempt made to separate elected Republicans in the House and Senate from their voters.

The effort's going to be, "Don't listen to what your voter says. It's not the way this is going to get done. We're not going to get things done up here unless we work together my way." That's what Obama is going to say.

Now, I will say this. John Boehner came out of that meeting today with the president, and he said some pretty good things. He said, "We've gotta remember here that we're not spending our money. This is not ours to spend, this is our kids'." Right now, just the cost -- forget the deficits that have already built up to a trillion to two trillion dollars, annual deficits -- just the cost of this stimulus, as it stands now, is about $6,700 per family if they came and collected it from us. At some point, we are going to pay that, somehow, some way, by hook or by crook, with increase in fees, increase in taxes, we're going to pay this, and it's not going to stop at $6,700 a family. And Boehner is pointing out that Republicans, Mitch McConnell, Jeff Sessions, there's some people up there that are willing to oppose this and stand up to it. And there's some who aren't. But it's going to require a strong backbone and the guys that oppose are going to have to know they're supported for doing so. I'm talking about elected officials.

Republican Party is made up of a bunch of elites, moderate Rockefeller types. And the dirty little secret is that they resent being in the same party with a bunch of people who are pro-life. Plus these guys, these Rockefeller liberal Republican guys, wives are always nagging 'em about abortion, to get the Republican Party to get rid of it 'cause.

A Bloomberg story out just this afternoon by Heidi Przybyla: "Republican Battle for Party Chairman Pits Leaders Against Base."

Now, wait. It's not what you think. "Republican leaders' efforts to select a new national party chairman are stirring concerns among a vital constituency: Republican voters." Tell me if you believe this. "Rank-and-file..." This is what it says here. "Rank-and-file Republicans are telling their leaders they want more ethnic, gender and age diversity in a party that is dominated by white males. They also want party leaders to cooperate with President Barack Obama, according to surveys." Now, let me continue. "After losing the White House and 28 seats in Congress last year, some party leaders still aren't hearing the message from voters who are urging them to claw their way back to power by promoting minorities and striking a less partisan tone, said Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman. 'We need...'"

This is Rich Bond who used to run the party. "'We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy's point of view,' Bond said. 'Not everybody comes from the same constituency as a majority-white homogenous district in the South where all people care about is keeping their guns and taxes.'" Rich Bond, yeah, he ran the party back during Bush 1. He was President 41. I met him in Houston. Now, look, I asked you, if you believe this. This is not the first... Well, I asked you if you believe that rank-and-file Republicans -- those of you in this audience are rank-and-file Republicans -- if you are telling Republican leaders that you want more cooperation with Obama, that you want "more ethnic, gender, and age diversity in the party leadership," do you believe this?

I'll tell you why I believe it. I do believe that somebody can go take a poll of a sample of Republican voters and get this result. What I really believe. know it's Bloomberg, I know it's the media, but Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman, "We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy's point of view," meaning liberals. We need to be more tolerant of them. He's saying we need to be less tolerant of our own voters.

Now, Rich Bond sounds exactly like Howard Dean when he says this.

Now, I believe that Rich Bond said it, and I believe he thinks it, and I think a lot of the other elite, country club, blue-blood... You know, the old stereotype of the rich Republican fat cat smoking a cigar? Those people are largely Democrats now. But the Republicans still have their elite, and Rich Bond is typified it. I know this from personal experience 'cause I encountered it. I've told you the story. Big, big dinner party, powerful, powerful people from New York, it was out in the Hamptons. And after dinner out on the deck of this stylish seaside mansion (a very powerful, a name you would know) fundraiser and donor for the Republican Party, came up and tapped me on the back and said, "What are you going to do about all these religious people in our party?"

"What am I going to do?"

"Yeah, they're killing us! This abortion, it's killing us."

This is back in the nineties. This is the early nineties, and they laughed. "I'm just kidding you. I'm just kidding you. You're the guy that can talk to them and you're going to have to get them off of this abortion business or our party is going to die," and you'd have to say the party is dead and these guys are running it, are they not?

I have read a little bit more of this Bloomberg story, and it gets worse.

Rich Bond, a former Republican National Committee chairman, said, "We need a great deal more tolerance for the other guy's point of view," meaning Democrats and liberals, "Not everybody comes from the same constituency as a majority-white homogenous district in the South where all people care about is keeping their guns and taxes." You know, I said it sounds like Howard Dean. It sounds like Obama and his bitter clinger comment it. It actually sounds more like Barack Obama. So the Republican Party, which swept to landslide elections with Republican voters from the south would just as soon now be rid of you, and the reason why is because they have no Republicans in the House from the northeast.

read this further. "The hard line taken by the leaders has already cost the party." They're saying there has been a conservative hard line taken by the party. I would like to see it, 'cause it is nonexistent. There has not been a conservative hard line taken by the party. Anyway, "The hard line taken by the leaders has already cost the party, which has become increasingly rural and Southern. With the defeat last year of Representative Chris Shays in Connecticut, Republicans no longer hold any House seats in socially moderate New England. The party also lost three House seats in New York, one in New Jersey--" Yeah, you know who they're losing 'em to? Conservative Democrats! They're losing these seats to Democrats who are more conservative than these Republicans. Nothing against Chris Shays, but it was about time. He was nothing but a RINO, Republican in name only. I tell you what, what we're learning here -- and we don't even need to learn it, we know it -- with these guys, it's party first. Ideology is second, third, fourth, fifth, maybe not even that high.

This party, whoever's running this party is so out of it. And Colin Powell says, "You gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh." Trust me, General Powell, they have years ago, and now they're just being honest about it. "We don't like these supporters we have in the south, we don't like them, they're too white, too homogenous, all they care about is guns and taxes." (phew) If they succeed in this, if they alienate 25 or 30 million voters -- one thing I don't believe in this survey is I do believe that a certain segment of Republican voters wants to work with Obama, again, from the religious influence here. But that represents a cave-in, at least to most conservatives. But regardless, we'll take it for what it is at face value, 'cause it is what it is. It just finally illustrates I have been right about this all along in talking about this party and where it's headed and what they're thinking at the leadership level of it. Don't ask me what we do about it yet, folks. They're imploding, they're doing it on their own. They're driving you out of it. All you can do is at the grassroots take it over. That's had to have been done a number of times, by the way. It's what Reagan had to do.

You wouldn't believe the unsung heroes from 1976 on that were working the grassroots, people like Paul Weyrich and Phyllis Schlafly, you would not believe all the work that was going on without any fanfare, to take over the grassroots so that local elections and primary elections and congressional and Senate races were won by conservative candidates.

I know that. I'll hold my end up, but the Drive-Bys are going to be presenting an entirely different picture. It's going to be an epic battle, as Saddam Hussein said. Saddam Hussein Obama said, "This is going to be the mother of all battles." Have we heard anything about George Obama and the hut? It's amazing.

McCain Keeps Wife from 'Dancing With The Stars'



McCain Keeps Wife from 'Dancing With The Stars'

The Hill

Cindy McCain wanted to compete on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," but her famous politician husband wouldn't let her do it, according to The New York Post.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) refused to let his wife appear as a dancer on the popular reality show, even though she "wanted to do it very badly," according to an unnamed source who spoke to the Post's gossip column, Page Six. Cindy McCain had gone as far as speaking to ABC producers about going on the show, the source said.



Wild Thing's comment.......

It must be hard for Cindy who is a Republican to be married to a Democrat like she is. I wish he was not telling her not to do it. She would do great I think. And think of how many totally ugly democrats are out of shape that could never even try something like this.

If John McCain was President I would understand but he is not. What John McCain should do is get out of politics. He has done too much to hurt the Republican party.

Now I can see why Cindy did not tell John ahead of time that she was learning to be a pilot. He might have said no to that too.

This show is not earth shattering of course. But it is simply a fun thing, and one that truly requires the person to be in good shape.

What are they are going to do ask Helen Thomas...... or........... Michelle HO-bama YIKES I don't think so. hahahaa

Tribute To President George W. Bush

Our military loves their CIC and he truly from his heart carss about them.



.


Our National Anthem





Wild Thing's comment...........

We are seeing the end to having a President that respects our Constitution, that was elected by what the Constitution has said needs to be in order to become President. So President George W. Bush is our last American President.

He was an awesome CIC and the love and respect went both ways and it showed. He will be missed by our troops and I think he will miss them as well.

President Bush did many good things and yes also things I did not like or understand. But across the board, the heart of Bush in most of the things he did were from integrity and honor and a true deep love for our country.

His face showed his love for our country, his tears he shed for our wounded troops and those that were killed was real and never once a photo op.

We are facing a future of something that imo can only be described as a nightmare for our country. A man elected that has been obstinate in his refusal to prove he is qualified to even run for President. A man that loathes our Constitution and has shown us that in his own words. A man whose wife had never been even proud to be an American until she saw her husband MIGHT become President. Two people so self involved that for either of them to use the word ' service' to ones country is nothing but a total lie and farce.

As a CIC this man, Barack Hussein Obama, has proven in word and deed his disrespect for our military.

Just as the nightmare begins January 20th we also have an opportunity to take our country back. Not the GOP, not the RNC and not the rino's, they cannot be counted on, they have been part of the problem. But conservatives, the base, the consistent driven force of what has made our nation great and standing along side our military all who love our country, in that we have a future. You don't see Republican at the top of my blog, instead the statement below the logo says I am "American first and Conservative second". It has been there since I started my blog and will remain that way. We have a handful of true conservatives in the Republican party, but they will let us know how much they want to take our country back in the future too.

Meanwhile, hold tight, pray and I just want to thank each one of your for being a part of Team Theodore, it has meant more to me then I can say. When I cheer, rant or cry about things happening within our country I feel I am among not only friends but my online family. Those of you that are Veterans and those serving now deserve better then what will be sworn in on January 20th. Our Founding Fathers worded things in case this kind of thing would happen, and you know what? I think they also knew that there would be citizens like you and I that have the spirit to do our best to fight back and never give up.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."-Samuel Adams

President Bush First Ex-prez to Face Limit on Secret Service Protection






Bush first ex-prez to face limit on Secret Service protection

source

President George W. Bush's "after-life," as Laura Bush calls the post-presidency, is shaping up to be pretty comfortable, with a Dallas office, staffers, Secret Service protection, a travel budget, medical coverage and a $196,700 annual pension, all at taxpayers' expense.

However, Bush will be the first president not to benefit from one former lifetime benefit: Secret Service protection.

"He'll be the first one to receive it for 10 years," said Malcolm Wiley, Secret Service spokesman. Congress changed the law in the 1990s so that any president elected after Jan. 1, 1997, and his or her spouse will receive the federal protection for only 10 years.

The Bushes will move to their new $2 million, 8,500-square-foot Dallas home — not paid for by taxpayers — on Jan. 20, and there Bush will be close to his future presidential library at Southern Methodist University.

"We're working on a conceptual design for the building," said Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation. The president will help develop the $300 million structure, which will include a library, museum and policy institute.

Fundraising is just beginning, Langdale said. Once the project is finished in 2013, the National Archives and Records Administration will take over the operation of the library and museum, at federal expense. Construction will be paid for with private funds, and Bush is expected to be involved in organizing the fundraising drive.

"He is enthusiastic about spending a lot of his time and effort working on the programs of the institute," Langdale said.

Bush will maintain an office nearby in space acquired by the General Services Administration, which, under the Former Presidents Act, will pay for the office suite and staff to assist him for the rest of his life.



Wild Thing's comment........

I will bet then when it comes time for HO-bama to be an EX by that time Congress will change it back just for him so he will have lifetime protection, and not retroactive to Bush 43, of course.

So after 10 years treasonous Carter and Bill will still be protected and W will be left undefended....revolting!

The job of President of the US is the most dangerous job in the country - period. With what has happened the last 8 years, Bush will have a target on his back until the day he draws his last breath. Congress should recognize this and reinstate the obvious.

Bush Pardons 14 and Commutes 2 Prison Sentences



Bush pardons 14 and commutes 2 prison sentences

WASHINGTON

President George W. Bush has granted pardons to 14 individuals and commuted the prison sentences of two others convicted of misdeeds ranging from drug offenses to tax evasion, from wildlife violations to bank embezzlement, The Associated Press learned Monday.

The new round of White House pardons are Bush's first since March and come less than two months before he will end his presidency. The crimes committed by those on the list also include offenses involving hazardous waste, food stamps, and the theft of government property.

Bush has been stingy during his time in office about handing out such reprieves.

Including these actions, he has granted a total of 171 and eight commutations. That's less than half as many as Presidents Clinton or Reagan issued during their time in office. Both were two-term presidents.

On the latest pardon list were:

_Leslie Owen Collier of Charleston, Mo. She was convicted for unauthorized use of a pesticide and violating the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

_Milton Kirk Cordes of Rapid City, S.D. Cordes was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits importation into the country of wildlife taken in violation of conservation laws.

_Richard Micheal Culpepper of Mahomet, Ill., who was convicted of making false statements to the federal government.

_Brenda Jean Dolenz-Helmer of Fort Worth, Texas, for reporting or helping cover up a crime.

_Andrew Foster Harley of Falls Church, Va. Harley was convicted of wrongful use and distribution of marijuana and cocaine.

_Obie Gene Helton of Rossville, Ga., whose offense was unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.

_Carey C. Hice Sr. of Travelers Rest, S.C., who was convicted of income tax evasion.

_Geneva Yvonne Hogg of Jacksonville, Fla., convicted of bank embezzlement.

_William Hoyle McCright Jr. of Midland, Texas, who was sentenced for making false entries, books, reports or statements to a bank.

_Paul Julian McCurdy of Sulphur, Okla., who was sentenced for misapplication of bank funds.

_Robert Earl Mohon Jr. of Grant, Ala., who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute marijuana.

_Ronald Alan Mohrhoff of Los Angeles, who was convicted for unlawful use of a telephone in a narcotics felony.

_Daniel Figh Pue III of Conroe, Texas, convicted of illegal treatment, storage and disposal of a hazardous waste without a permit.

_Orion Lynn Vick of White Hall, Ark., who was convicted of aiding and abetting the theft of government property.

Bush also commuted the prison sentences of John Edward Forte of North Brunswick, N.J., and James Russell Harris of Detroit, Mich. Both were convicted of cocaine offenses.

Under the Constitution, the president's power to issue pardons is absolute and cannot be overruled.

Some high-profile individuals, such as Michael Milken, are seeking a pardon on securities fraud charges. Two politicians convicted of public corruption — former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., and four-term Democratic Louisiana Gov. Edwin W. Edwards — are asking Bush to shorten their prison terms.

One hot topic of discussion related to pardons is whether Bush might decide to issue pre-emptive pardons before he leaves office to government employees who authorized or engaged in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Some constitutional scholars and human rights groups want the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama to investigate possible war crimes.

If Bush were to pardon anyone involved, it would provide protection against criminal charges, particularly for people who were following orders or trying to protect the nation with their actions. But it would also be highly controversial.

At the same time, Obama advisers say there is little — if any — chance that his administration would bring criminal charges.



Wild Thing's comment.........

I don't see Compean & Ramos, the Border Patrol Agents on the list. I don't know if this is just part of the list he will pardon. But I am not getting a good feeling from this at all. It sure looks like Bush will not be letting Compean & Ramos go. Bush an dhis buddy Sutton favoring the criminal, drug pusher illegal over two good men, it is maddness.

President Bush and Laura At The National Museum of Am. History


The National Museum of American History was recently put through a two-year, $85 million renovation. After the ceremony five people were sworn in as new citizens of the United States.



President George W. Bush smiles as he arrives to make remarks during the reopening ceremony for the National Museum of American History in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008.


President Bush:

"Thank you. Laura and I are thrilled to be here. We are honored you would invite us to reopen one of the country's great civic institutions -- the Smithsonian's Museum of American History. This building is home to many of our national treasures. It is a reminder of our country's proud heritage. And today we're witnessing the beginning of an exciting new era in its history. And I would urge all our citizens who come to Washington, D.C.: Come to this fantastic place of learning."
"There have been hours in our nation's history when that promise of freedom looked uncertain. One of them took place 145 years ago today, when President Abraham Lincoln arrived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to dedicate a cemetery at one of the Civil War's bloodiest battlefields. By that day, the war had raged for more than two and a half years, and claimed hundreds of thousands of casualties. Many were convinced that a peace that preserved slavery would be better than a war that was pitting brother against brother. President Lincoln understood that liberty is a gift given by the Almighty -- and that peace must not be purchased with injustice. "


President Bush:

"The items on display here are as diverse as our nation. Visitors can see George Washington's military uniform, one of Thomas Edison's early lightbulbs, the desk on which Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence -- even Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves, which he modestly predicted would become the most famous thing in this building. "(Laughter from audience.)



President George W. Bush is silhouetted against an American flag exhibit Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008, during his visit with Mrs. Laura Bush to the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. White House photo by Eric Draper



President Bush:

"Another item on display here is one of our nation's proudest symbols of patriotism. The icon's fame dates to the war of 1812. In that conflict, the British Navy bombarded Baltimore's Fort McHenry with rockets and mortar fire. And as the battle raged, a young American was detained on a ship in Baltimore Harbor, unable to join the fight. The next morning, he was anxious to see whether his country had resisted the invasion. He discovered the answer when he saw the stars and stripes of the United States waving defiantly above Fort McHenry. "

"That young American, of course, was Francis Scott Key. He referred to the moment he saw the flag as an "hour of deliverance and joyful triumph." He recorded those emotions in a poem called "The Star-Spangled Banner." Today, nearly two centuries after they were composed, his words are written on the heart of every American -- and written into our law as our country's national anthem. And the flag that inspired them is preserved here, thanks to the generosity of some fine citizens, to remind us of the sacrifices that have been made to ensure our freedom. "




President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush join five new American citizens in pledging allegiance to the U.S. flag following their citizenship ceremony at the reopened National Museum of American History in Washington November 19, 2008. [Note that everyone is facing the flag except for the fellow in the brown suit--he seems more interested in the President, lol

"Throughout our history, these ideals have called out to those beyond our shores. They have beckoned those who love liberty from every nation. They have made countless generations of men and women across the world long for the pride that comes with calling yourself an American citizen. Today, I'm delighted to congratulate five of you who will be taking your oath of citizenship in just a few moments. Though you are originally from France, Germany, Guyana, Lebanon, and Peru, today you're becoming members of the American family. We welcome you with open arms. I will be proud to call you fellow citizen."
"The Museum of American History is a wonderful place to begin your journey as an American. These halls reflect both the duties and privileges of citizenship. They remind us that America's highest ideals have always required brave defenders. They remind us that our liberty is a precious gift from God. Thank you for having Laura and me here. May God continue to bless the United States of America. " (Applause.)

Newt Considers a Run for RNC Chairman




Newt Gingrich Slams Reporter Ron Allen About Sarah Palin. Checkmate!!!!


Newt Considers a Run for RNC Chairman

Digital Journal

The word among GOP insiders here in Georgia is that Newt Gingrich is considering throwing his name in the hat to be the next Chairman for the RNC.

As Georgia Republican Leadership meet today to plan for the expected run-off of Saxby Chambliss against Jim Martin, my sources tell me Gingrich is having meetings to discuss his own race.

Newt is best known for leading the charge for the Contract with America. It is this famed Contract that has been credited for the Republican take-over of the US House and Senate in 1994. It is also well believed among traditional Republicans that it has been the abandonment of this contract by elected Republicans that has lead to their downfall.

Since his retirement from elected office, Gingrich has stayed involved in the political grind on many different levels. Newt has released several books, founded American Solutions, and has acted as a political analyst appearing on numerous political programs and radio talk shows.

The Republican base in Newt's home state of Georgia still hail him as a hero and hold him in high regard much like national Republicans do Ronald Reagan. Considering the obvious divide among Republican voters, Newt Gingrich just may be the leader they need to help them once again unite. Gingrich has a proven record of understanding the will of the American people and his experience as a leader is a proven matter of record.


Wild Thing's comment.......

We need a conservativee for RNC Chairman. I am so sick of the weak people that have been Chairman and it is killing our party. Also he has been a defender of Sarah all along too.

RNC Chairman is the ideal spot for the architect of the Contract with America. This might be a good idea.

He went rino on the global warming in that ad with Pelosi, and I heard Rush lay into him about it on Rush's show months ago. Thank God for Rush. Maybe it sunk it, maybe that even if he is into this global warming bs, at least don't do stupid kiss up ads with the enemy. Just keep your mouth shut and hug a tree in your yard. LOL

Other then that , that I can think of right now. Newt has been the most consistent conservative messenger in America since Reagan. He may stray off the rightwing reservation from time to time. Newt was a back-bench bomb thrower in Congress for years, until he finally put together a solid coalition of conservatives, advancing the Contract With America and getting the GOP elected to majority of control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

He also loves our Constitution.

And oh there is this too, he is clean and articulate. Sorry I could not resist that one. heh heh

What to all of you think? He used to be really good, if he’s the merciless, smart-strategizing, take-no-prisoners Newt of old and not the new version with the global warming stuff etc.


If you want to let him know how you feel about this, good or bad.
