Protectors of Freedom One and All!

Because of the ultimate sacrifice of far too many, freedom continues to live.

As it is written on the northeast corner of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, "Their Lives they held their country's trust; They kept its faith; They died its heroes."

Today, we are thinking of them all with heartfelt gratitude.

Senator Ted Cruz, R:TX, had some eloquent words honoring our military heroes on this Memorial Day.



Of course, the comments made by President Ronald Reagan on May 28, 1984, continue to hold the epitome of respect and honor due our fallen heroes.



May God Bless our brave heroes who gave their lives in service of this great country; protectors of freedom one and all!

Stranglehold of Scandals

The scandals linked to the Obama administration, ones you are familiar with and some you are not, are consuming the landscape. Even for those in the know, when considering the scandals associated with the IRS and the Benghazi massacre, it is hard to measure which is more devastating.

Not for President Obama and his administration of inner party Marxist crooks and liars, but for America.

Both will end up ranking high in the history books, with each having the level of anti-Constitution action that should result in the end of the Obama presidency.

While the IRS scandal is deplorable and at a minimum violates the First Amendment, it is the scope of Benghazi massacre that could alter America, and the world, forever. While the administration thinks the events in Benghazi don't matter, a growing number of Americans vehemently disagree.

The Obama administration left four Americans to die, which is in stark contrast to the core beliefs of our country. For that alone, those responsible should be held in dereliction of duty.

Obama, like all great leaders do, divorced himself from the situation, seemingly for plausible deniability. Leadership like that can obviously get you killed.

Then came the lies, and they were plentiful and continuous, first and foremost from President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and then from all those progressives supporters along for the ride.  These actions are truly despicable behavior from those charged with working on our behalf.

These are not incompetent imbeciles; rather cold and calculated operatives who do not appear to be wearing the same colors as you and I.

The summary of these events paint a very troubling picture of the status of the leadership of our once great country. Among those with a microphone to present this case is Judge Jeanine Pirro, who brilliantly scorches the administration.  Take a listen:

 

Behind the mask of the Benghazi massacre is the reason why this story all unfolded, and it has extremely concerning tentacles.

The elephant in the room is gun running, reasonably confirmed recently by Senator Rand Paul, R:KY.  We have been shipping guns via shipping to Syrian rebels, which in victory seems poised to ultimately pave the way for the Muslim Brotherhood to take control in Syria.

Our coziness with the Muslim Brotherhood, who have far reaching influence within our own government, is of very significant concern.  Although Michele Bachmann, who recently asked if those with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood were being properly vetted, was excoriated by both side of the aisle, she was correct.

The arrogance of the Obama administration is currently being exhibited as they use distortion and intimidation to cover their tracks, but the truth will come out in due time.  Reports have more whistle blowers coming forward with blockbuster information, suggested as devastating to both Obama and Hillary Clinton.  

The information that will come out likely will expose the gun running, which will open up the Pandora's box of the relationship this administration has with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama seems safe in his position as of this point, particularly with having mainstream media support, but the IRS scandal will continue to expand and the Benghazi massacre reaching levels not previously considered will leave the administration staggering and without credibility.

At this time, things may become dangerous as Obama utilizes his power to attack his political opponents in unprecedented fashion.

Don't think he won't?  He already has.

Sunday Night Song

Paul McCartney opened his world tour last night in Orlando to a cheering crowd in the sold out Amway Arena.

As one of my friends quipped, "some say McCartney is one of the best, almost in the same league as Kanye of John Mayer". The trouble with our liberal friends, and much of the youth these days is they know so much that isn't so. Obviously, the sarcasm ran deep with my friends comment as nobody out there today can dream of being on an equal playing field to Sir Paul.

Simply put, McCartney may well be the most talented and prosperous singer songwriter in history, and The Beatles, with their vast collection of timeless music, will be forever known as the best band of all time.

When McCartney was in Orlando over a decade ago performing at the Florida Citrus Bowl, he opened the show with Drive My Car. Last night, it was another Beatles favorite, Eight Days A Week, which is tonight's Sunday Night Song.

Enjoy the YouTube video I lifted from someone with steadier hand than I.

Audacity of Abuse

The Obama administration is imploding with a series of scandals, and few things are more well deserved.

The Benghazi situation is very sad with lies being told by everyone involved, inclusive of Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama. Our country does not fail to protect those charged with working on our behalf, but this crowd does.  Patriots died in Benghazi, and although vowing to track down and punish those responsible, the only person arrested is the maker of the video who was made scapegoat by team Obama. The arrogance of the Obama administration thinking America would buy that stupid lie about that YouTube video is simply infuriating.

While the mainstream media was seemingly awoke by the revelations that the agency targeted right wing Tea Party groups, leaders and membership, as well as big dollar donors to GOP candidates, it came as no surprise to the rest of us.  Glenn Beck covered this story almost two years age when information about it began to surface.

The administration, frustrated by the Citizens United case decision, seemingly utilized the IRS as a tool to stymie, deter and discredit each of the groups filing for status.  Information required them, not required of comparable left leaning counterpart organizations, was extensive, practically impossible to gather with the risk of potential penalties far outweighing the high probability of error or omission, which their E&O don't cover. Through these punitive actions, the ability of these Tea Party groups to pay critical roles in the 2012 election was significantly handicapped.

Embolden with arrogance, the Obama instructed IRS even went after Rev. Billy Graham.  Imagine for a moment what this tyrannical group would do when they become the financial arm of Obamacare?  Unless you back Obama and the inner party, you may be denied medicine and destined for a quicker meeting with the death panels.

While the media reluctantly covered the IRS story, they got worked up when it was learned the agency was listening to AP reporters communications. Surely, other news organizations will soon learn the same.

Not only should all news media organizations now assume they have been bugged, so should every American citizen.  This, of course, unless a warrant has been issued, is in violation of the privacy rights of our citizenry.

Obama held a presser this afternoon and said he won't tolerate this type of behavior in a governmental agency, but in fact, Obama himself is involved in the behavior of targeting opponents.  Does anybody recall the targeting or GOP owner car dealerships as those who will be closed, not withstanding their profitability?  Does anyone recall illegally ignoring contract law with respect to the bond holders, paying off union cronies instead?

Obama targeted and fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin in 2009 in an expression of thuggery.

In more recent times, it was Obama Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett who threatened Obama's political opponents, stating that after they win the election, it would be payback time and there would "be hell to pay".  A bunch of tyrannical thugs, one and all.

 

While all the discussion above centers around what has happened with respect to the recent scandals surrounding Obama, the big picture of motivation and purpose remains stealth to even some of the most astute political followers.

 

As bad as it would be to echo an editorial in today's issue of Investors Business Daily, citing "A Craving For Constant Crises" Cloward and Piven Style, the reality is much more troubling.

 

Glenn Beck, the sage of all things progressive, is all over it yet again, knocking it out of the park in highlighting the goal the Obama administration is seeking, which is the transformation of the United States of America.  Glenn thoroughly explains: 

Obama is running roughshod over our Constitution, eroding our freedoms seemingly on a daily basis.  The administration has been caught here in extensive overreach, but with the media their partner it will take the American citizenry to rise up and defeat those who seek to transform against us, limiting our freedom and establishing tyranny over us.

Obama warned the students at the commencement at The Ohio State University to reject those voices who warn of tyranny behind every corner.  Obama hopes they are foolish enough to do so, allowing him to continue his work in keeping his promise to transform the United States of America.

By the way; into what?

Violation of the Constitutional Rights of Citizens

We have said we are running out of time, but it has come time.

For now, we can point to two extremely significant breaches of trust by the Obama administration in Benghazi and with the actions of the IRS that, if I may quote from the articles of impeachment of President Richard Nixon, are subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

While Benghazi continues to boil, and rightfully so, and while we still search for the truth regarding the bombings in Boston, (remember those?), jumping to the pole position of scandal are the actions of the Internal Revenue Service.

Everyone but the media has known about this abuse of power for about two years, but on Friday, the IRS took an unusual step and apologized, blaming low level employees for "targeting" Conservative groups, with heavy influence on groups associated with The Tea Party. However, over the weekend, things really blew up revealing multiple levels of the breach of constitutional rights of citizens. Megan Kelly of FOX News has more:



As far as I can tell, and I am not a lawyer, in these actions the First and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution have been knowingly violated. Of particular concern was President Obama out there today speaking as though he had no knowledge of such activities and would oppose them if he knew, nothing short of a complete lie.  That goes against the community activist Rules for Radicals bible by Saul Alinsky Obama subscribes to, the one that singles out, polarizes and ridicules opponents with the ends justifying any means necessary.

The way the administration has utilized the IRS, who will be become the financial enforcement arm of Obamacare, is beyond troubling.  It is also beyond the scope of our laws. Glenn Beck has had enough and has called for action to be taken in the form of appointing  special counsel to explore the impeachment of President Obama.  Wayne Allen Root, who claims to be among those targeted, suggests the IRS scandal should lead to Obama's impeachment.

Kimberly Strassel of The Wall Street Journal wrote in May of 2012 how President Obama and his operatives targeted wealthy supporters of Mitt Romney.  Elected officials on both sides, from Diane Feinstein, D:CA, to Susan Collins, R:ME are simply stunned, obviously not readers of the Journal, the most read paper in America.

While those who are charged to protect our Constitution from these type of abuse should be readying themselves for action, Mark Levin is not confident they will,  calling out Republicans in the House for being “timid” and "passive" about taking action. I quite agree.
In reviewing the articles for impeachment of Richard Nixon, there appear to be a handful easily applied in this case involving the IRS. They are the following:

1. He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be initiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.

2. Endeavouring to misuse the Internal Revenue Service, an agency of the United States;

3. He misused the Internal Revenue Service and other executive personnel, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, by directing or authorizing such agencies or personnel to conduct or continue electronic surveillance or other investigations for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; he did direct, authorize, or permit the use of information obtained thereby for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; and he did direct the concealment of certain records made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of electronic surveillance.

Now we get word the Justice Department has secretly and without cause obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press.  As illegal as this seemingly is, what is most surprising is that the AP has been a steadfast ally of the administration, neglecting long established common guidelines for non partisan reporting all along the way. Freedom of the Press?

The investigation into the abuses of power with respect to the IRS is just beginning, and with the IRS scheduled to play such a significant role in Obamacare, the results will be critically important.  There are many facts yet to be learned.

But the arrogance of this administration, embolden by a criminally complicit media, know no bounds.  Even so, the rule of law and adherence to the Constitution most are sworn to protect must be upheld.  As the administration has knowingly violated this trust in blatant violation and disregard of the Constitution, the appropriate penalties must be assessed. 

We have previously called for the impeachment of Barack Obama, but as was the appropriate case with Richard Nixon, it certainly appears it is again the case with Barack Obama.  While Nixon was not a statesman to be sure, he did resign.  I seriously doubt Obama has the respect for the country and our founding principles to put them ahead of his own personal stature, so if it is warranted, he will have to be forced out.

It is time. Let the action commence.

Great Timing for :24

Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer 

We are tunning out of time, but the clock just hit :24.

After a few weeks of horrendous news, inclusive of children being murdered, kidnapped and held as sex slaves, an evil abortion doctor convicted this afternoon on a multitude of crimes including murder, an ongoing flirtation of our government with a terrorist organization in the Muslim Brotherhood, a corrupt government utilizing the IRS as the arm of our oppressive government to target political opponents and our government leaving fellow country men charged with working on behalf of our government to die, comes some good news.

Jack is back! 

And boy howdy, does America need him.

FOX has announced that Kiefer Sutherland, who played the iconic Jack Bauer on the series 24 has agreed to reprise his role, will join the direction of producer Howard Gordon as 24 returns for a limited engagement. What great timing, as our country seems to be burning to the ground on every avenue possible.

Given the times, hopefully Bauer will not have fallen victim to the political correctness of the times.

It is hard to put magic back in a bottle, but with Sutherland and Gordon teaming with former writers co-writers Evan Katz and Manny Coto, we all can hope for the best.  We will look forward to the Live Another Day episodes which come our way in May of 2014, provided we are still free to enjoy television dramas at that time.

Time To Grab Control

It is time to wake up!

Alarm bells are going off, and the phone is ringing. It is 3AM!


Thanks in part to the idiotic decision by the Romney campaign to not run this ad, none of the alarm bells or phone calls have been answered under the Obama administration.  People, American heroes, have died.

What does it matter cried former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

Excuse me?

Our government lying to the citizenry and the families of the slain heroes, is of critical importance.  Unless of course, you are in power and cannot be concerned with the proles who employed you to represent them.

We have an administration exhibiting a level of arrogance rarely witnessed who takes great pleasure in distorting the facts, initiating falsehoods and operating outside both the checks and balances of our republic and the rule of law.  Their actions make Richard Nixon look like a childish prankster.

While the events of Benghazi encapsulate the deterioration of sanity at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, most Democrats have made the choice to protect their party leaders rather than helping protect the rule of law and dignity of those who serve our country.  The media is apparently going to sit it out, but the American citizens had better not.

While the stars continue to dance, the freedoms and liberties we hold dear are promptly eroding. It would be far past time to answer the bell, for the rounds are getting late.

We are running out of time to thwart the oppressive encroachment.  When the rule of law is lost, when the song is over, who will be left to tell you where to run?

Shine Out The Darkness of Evil

Almost anywhere your dart tossed at the globe of earth hits, evil is flexing muscle.

BAHL Revere recently posted a blog noting that throughout time, evil has been fierce an opponent of freedom.  Evil can come in many forms, from basic theft to targeting opponents with scorn and ridicule to creating mental anguish and physical harm to orchestrating and participating in unspeakable acts.

Sadly, this week we Americans are absorbing a variance of evil actions, from a sensationalized murder to governmental misuse of power resulting in deaths to among the most heinous crimes against man.

In Arizona, the mainstream media was sitting at bay waiting for the verdict to come back in the Jodi Arias trial, an attractive young lady accused of shooting and stabbing her seemingly stable and handsome boyfriend to death. Arias, who is obviously consumed with evil, was found guilty late this afternoon. Due to the media pushing the relevance of the case, it became a national story along the lines of Casey Anthony, an attractive Mom who murdered her daughter here locally in Orlando. Although covered by every news outlet found on DirectTV, other than noting another example of evil, neither story had any bearing on the lives of 99.9% of the people following the cases.

The events in Benghazi, which have been covered on the blog frequently, were the centerpiece of hearings today in Washington.  The media was lukewarm, as most have been since the event occurred, in their coverage.  Many Democrats, deeming the hearings some sort of witch hunt, snickered at and ridiculed the witnesses. Some are simply dimwits.  Given that we have four dead Americans, inclusive of US Ambassador Chris Stevens, one would think men and women of character would seek the truth and demand adherence and accountability to the rule of law. 

Sadly, many are in protective function, concentrating efforts to conceal their positions, participatory in covering up the lies and intimidation of morally bankrupt leadership who relish in the misuse of power.  The actions of our leadership who lied to America and the victims families, most notably President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are nothing short of offensive, and on many levels, evil.

Then, there are the Houses of Horror in Philadelphia and Cleveland.

Not politically expedient, the mainstream media is also sitting out the trail in Philadelphia of Kermit Gosnell, an abortion doctor accused of killing several live babies. Gosnell, whose clinic performed late term abortions Planned Parenthood and President Obama find morally acceptable, is charged with actions any sane individual would find unacceptable in a civil society.

FOX News Kimberly Guilfoyle, of whom we are big, big fans, posted a Facebook post on Saturday promoting a FOX News Special on Gosnell which aired last Sunday night.  Although the show has already aired, her post thoroughly states the case and is well worth the read:

Kimberly Guilfoyle

See Evil So That We May Rid Ourselves of It
By Kimberly Guilfoyle

We can be judged in many ways. One measure of a civilization’s morality is how it treats those without power. Pope John Paul II once said, “a society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.” As I write these words 7 women and 5 men are deliberating the fate of a man accused of killing our country’s most weak and most vulnerable. The alleged crimes are horrific and difficult to imagine, but they must be shown to the world. We cannot turn away because a topic is unpleasant or vile. Why? Because one way to rid our society of evil is to confront it boldly.

The man standing in judgment is Dr. Kermit Gosnell. His trial, in Philadelphia, went to the jury this week. The charges being considered number in the hundreds, but it is the four first-degree murder charges and a single third-degree murder charge that have left me bewildered and saddened.

Dr. Gosnell ran what became known as the “House of Horror.” An abortion clinic where he is accused of killing 3 babies, born alive, during late-term abortions. He faces the third-degree murder charge for the killing of 41-year-old Karnamaya Monga.

Many of you may not have heard about this case. It has the dubious distinction of being one crime story the mainstream media isn’t all over. It is an “abortion story,” the one topic that defies the media’s “if it bleeds it leads” mantra. Whether it is the gruesome details of how these children were allegedly killed or that the case involves the politically inconvenient topic the courtroom seats reserved for the media went largely unused.

I have sat in those seats and witnessed court testimony so heartbreaking and abhorrent that it could easily be mistaken for the most horrible of fictions. Sadly, as a seasoned prosecutor, I know what dark acts people are capable of. I have seen and heard my share of evil, but this trial has tested my faith in humanity. It has been eye-opening and life changing.

Tonight at 9pm Eastern on the Fox News Channel we are airing a special on this crime that I participated in. It will not be easy to watch. It will bring many to tears and fill others with anger. However difficult it may be I urge you to watch. Information is power; it is the light that will “shine out the darkness.”

Given the testimony, it is becoming concerning the jury deliberation is taking so long.  Hello?

Seemingly by accident, authorities discovered this week a home where three kidnapped girls were held as sex slaves for approximately 10 years in a suburban Cleveland home.  Three brothers were arrested, but investigators have centered around the homeowner, Ariel Castro. 

While we thank God these three girls were found alive and have been reunited with their families, the acts committed against them are among the highest levels of evil.  We will not get into specifics here, but it is needless to say this home was in fact a house of horrors.  Charges against Castro currently include kidnapping and rape, but odd strongly favor more very serious charges will be forthcoming.

The victims in Cleveland will face extensive therapy on the road to recovery, if that is even possible. Hopefully in the case of Ariel Castro, there is a do not pass to go straight to the electric chair.

The bottom line after review of these particular cases is that evil is running rampant in America. Investigation of the reasoning will lead down many different avenues, inclusive of urban decay, the breakdown of the family, the lack of personal accountability and the lack of adherence to the rule of law, from our governmental leaders down to the local shoplifter.

As evil encroaches our landscape, we will continue to see an erosion of our liberty and freedom.  From government agencies seeking additional regulation in an effort to keep the citizenry safe to the citizens handicapped ability to engage in various activities due to a rogue criminal element and due to acts of terrorism as we recently witnessed in Boston, freedom is lost. Freedoms lost range from cancelled Boston Red Sox games to the local playground activities.

As the groundswell of voices, not letting a crisis got to waste, command for additional regulatory action in effort to keep the citizenry safe, although in some instances it will be difficult, as we shine out the darkness we must remember the words of Benjamin Franklin:

Rule of Law Must Reign

One of the seemingly diminishing list of good guys, Rep. Trey Gowdy, (R:SC), informed us last week that "explosive" hearings on Benghazi were coming this week. The testimony before The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee of three State Department "whistle blowers" begins on Wednesday, and although the administration has had a few days to prepare, the conclusions drawn could, and should, leave the Obama administration staggered.

 

Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who on rare occasions can be quite an asset to our republic, placed the following on Facebook this afternoon. "I think the dam is about to break on Benghazi. We're going to find a system failure before, during, and after the attacks.  We're going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We're going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton. The bond that has been broken between those who serve us in harms way and the government they serve is huge — and to me every bit as damaging as Watergate."

 

CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson has been the leader, by far, among the mainstream media in reporting the events of Benghazi, and finally, it appears her colleagues over  at CBS have seen the light, as indicated by the devastating investigative report CBS News filed Sunday.

 

You need have been Lieutenant Colombo to recognize the events in Benghazi were a terrorist attack, and not a reaction by street gangs to a YouTube video nobody saw as put forth by the Obama administration, inclusive of both former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama. 

 

These were lies, despicable cold hearted lies, told to the surviving family members and the American people.  To add minor insult to major injury, the filmmaker of the video was promptly arrested and remains in jail.   Even The Washington Post recognizes the mistruths.  In fact, unless you were part of the Obama propaganda team or having been residing under a rock, you knew it was a terrorist attack. 

 

Everybody knew. We knew!

 

There were many in what could be considered the alternative media who spoke the truth about Benghazi from the get go.  The usual suspects, including Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, stood firm in discrediting the portrayal presented by the propaganda of the administration and the lap dog media.
 

Glenn Beck, within just days of the attack, laid out the entire case of what really went on in Benghazi, and why, and we concurred. Along with his media arm The Blaze, Beck continues to be out front on Benghazi, and for that matter, most other issues.

 

Beck speculated that gun running was going on, and we agree.  Although, due to the inability of our investigative staff to drive the nail home on this thus far, we cannot present a concrete case, we have noted activity centered around an upstate New York location being central to the air shipment of guns to Russian locations, which translated, are part of a path of guns making their way to Syrian rebels associated with, if not operated by, the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

Rush Limbaugh eloquently summarized the sad state of affairs of the current landsacape of Uncle Sam, being managed and operated by the blame America first crowd, in a blistering series of comments on top rated nationally syndicated radio show this afternoon:

 

One more thing about this Benghazi stuff, because the fireworks are gonna start tomorrow. But in a sane and normal era or world -- and I mean this, folks, from the bottom of my substantial and loudly beating heart (Ba-boom! Ba-boom!) -- what happened in Benghazi would finish the public career of Hillary Clinton. Any secretary of state, any secretary of defense who in supposedly peacetime -- peacetime they wanted us to believe existed! We all know we're not at peace with Al-Qaeda.

They tried to make everybody believe we're at peace. They had taken care of this enemy. They had killed bin Laden. They had gotten rid of Bush. They had made us loved and respected again. Four Americans dead, and not an effort made to save them. In any other administration, any other time, any other era, whoever was in charge of that and allowed that to happen and then offered the excuse, "Well, what difference does it make now?" or "Well, we couldn'ta gotten there in time," would have been gone.

They would have been publicly humiliated and gone. Deservedly so!

Things got ugly when the left went after Reagan during the Iran-Contra hearings, with all the networks going with wall to wall daytime coverage, postponing General Hospital and the like for weeks.  It was big, with Ollie North and Fawn Hall and such.  Benghazi; nothing to see here.

There are many outstanding questions about Benghazi beyond why the Obama administration failed to act in adequate fashion in efforts to rescue our countrymen.  Why was Amb. Stevens meeting with the representative from Turkey?  Did the discussion center around gun running?  Or perhaps, should you wish to explore a conspiracy theory, was Amb. Stevens set up by our government to be abducted to set up an exchange of prisoners paving the way for the release of the "Blind Sheikh" and the effort went awry?

Obviously, the hearings have the potential to be blockbuster. We have not, and will not, ever forget about our countrymen who were left to die without the backup of our government, and we demand accountability and justice.

 

We will find out during these hearings if we are nation of laws or a nation of corrupt governmental elites who rule along with a lap dog media over a citizenry of lemmings operating outside the system of checks and balances constructed by our founding fathers during the founding of  our representative republic.

Royal Crown Lies

The Kansas City Royals, after taking two straight with big six inning comebacks against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays, were looking for a sweep during the current homestead with a win this afternoon.
Unfortunately, with a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, the game was postponed due to inclement weather with rain turning to snow by late afternoon.

Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO on 5/1/2013 @4PM EST
 

The Tampa Bay Rays will have to fly back (oh good heavens the carbon footprint) to finish the game at a later date, costing the Rays organization a nice chunk of change.

Don't tell the Global Warming crowd, but the weather report in Kansas City gives perfect reasoning why Global Warming is now called Global Climate Change.  Kansas City is expecting 3 to 5 inches of snow today.  It is not February; it is the first day of May.

During this week, Al Gore, who may actually be the most discredited public figure breathing these days, went on a tirade at the Milken Institute Conference about the imminent catastrophe of Global Climate Change.  Gore wondered "what the hell we are thinking", he of new mansion homes and Lear jet travel. The hypocritical arrogance is really stunning.

Across the fruited plain are examples of record cold temperatures. Real Science says was the second coldest spring on record.  Accuweather says a historic snowstorm hits plains to upper Midwest.

You see, the trouble with our progressive friends is they know so much that isn't so, and there is no better example than global climate change.  Unfortunately, in the face of volumes of statistical evidence, the masses have bought into the story allowing the government to use the hoax as a vehicle to increase significantly taxes and regulation, and most notably control, over the citizens in the name of environmental stewardship.

It really is ridiculous, but the narrative has been so effectively promulgated by the progressive left, reversing the mindset will almost take an act of God.  I am not sure if a snow out at the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex will do the trick.  A postponement of NASCAR Spring Cup qualifying due to ice at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March a few years back did not.

Maybe America's weatherman Joe Bastardi, formerly of Accuweather and now CEO of Weatherbell Analytics can explain.  Bastardi sat down with Neil Cavuto of FOX Business Channel yesterday.

I am still trying to cheaply purchase some ocean front east cost property from one of these global climate change nuts who think the sea level will seize Florida in short order. I have had zero success. The global warmists cannot put their money where their mouth is, but their mouth has no issue advocating the theft of our money to pay for their imaginary environmental cause.
