The Discrediting of America: Individual Opponents

While President Obama is the face of the Progressive advancement running roughshod over America, there is a well funded massive machine of operatives implementing widespread attacks on those, organizations, corporations and individuals, who stand against their policies. With a basis found in the pages of Saul Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, aiming to demonize, ridicule and discredit all in opposition, there are no lines that cannot be crossed as the ends justify the means. The tentacles of these ongoing operations extend beyond your wildest imagination. Therefore, BAHL Revere will engage a series of posts alerting our readership of instances in this regard titled The Discrediting of America.

CPAC 2013 was quite exciting, with a host of speakers giving excellent speeches, quite cognizant of an America in decline.with most zeroed in the parties responsible.

Among the speakers who minced no words in assessing blame for the transformation of wealth overwhelming America with those orchestrating the destruction failing to practice the austerity measures they advise us to take, was Rep. Michele Bachmann, (R:MN).

Bachmann torched Obama for living a lavish lifestyle as President while most of us are struggling for friction in an Obama led economy wrecked by crony capitalism, destructive FED policies, absence of the rule of law, rewards for irresponsible behavior and an advancing nanny state robbing people of their identity.

See a portion of the speech by Bachmann below:




Although Bachmann did embellish some points, for example, the walking of the dog, the premise of the comments cannot be legitimately challenged.  Do I have a reader who honestly does not think Obama is exceeding common guidelines with respect to living in excess as President?  In addition, do any not see the hypocrisy of him sparing no expense vacationing and golfing while most of us are struggling mightily in the dismal economy he is presiding over?

In my career, I have noticed great leaders provide an example for those they command or lead by establishing a code of behavior and work ethic.  For crying out loud, the president and first lady take separate planes on vacation, something we previously found obscene.  A respected leader would not close tours of The White House to gain political points while his family vacations touring the world.

Meet President Obama.

Bachmann has been hit hard in the aftermath of these comments, by both sides.  CNN correspondent Dana Bash ambushed Bachmann in a parking lot.  Mind you, Bash, who would not know a Fulton county commission meeting if it was held in the CNN parking lot, cannot find time to chase the Obama administration down on anything, but was in high speed pursuit of Bachmann.

From the supposed right, Bill O'Reilly led the way, hammering Bachmann on is FOX program "The O'Reilly Factor.  Please take a listen to O'Reilly below:

O'Reilly is off the mark, which is unfortunately more common than you may think.  I was not the only one who noticed, as The Great One Mark Levin let O'Reilly have it on his nationally syndicated radio show.  Listen to Levin HERE.

On Monday, we learned Bachmann is now the center on an ethics investigation for the misuse of campaign funds.  The Blaze reports that Federal investigators are now interviewing former Bachmann campaign staffers nationwide about alleged intentional campaign-finance violations.  Would these be the same disgruntled former staff members fired for poorly leading her 2012 presidential campaign?

But this is not the point, as everyone who remains sane recognizes that President Obama gives no consideration to the money he spends as President, or as Commander in Chief in running up the national debt, and that an upstart investigation focusing on former staff members has the earmark of a witch hunt.

Most on the left think Bachmann is a dingbat, so why all the long knives?  We have hit this topic previously, and make no mistake about it; Bachmann is being targeted for her having been an outspoken opponent of our coziness with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Once Bachmann publicly questioned our policy toward the Muslim Brotherhood, she has been in the cross hairs.  From John McCain to Bill O'Reilly on the right, to the entire roster of lefties, Bachmann must be taken down and discredited publicly before someone takes her seriously.  You see, she is being hit with propaganda portraying her as discredited.  Restated with an Orwellian flare, just like two plus two equals five, what you see presented about her are the opposite of the facts.

Bachmann was correct in the facts regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and their infiltration of our government by many who advocate for them in the shadows.  Recently, we have confirmed John Brennan to head the CIA and Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense, who are sympathetic at best to these opponents of Israel. John Kerry, our new Secretary of State, has supporters on both sides of the aisle, even though he is a fierce opponent of our military having protested against them on many an occasion.

The Muslim Brotherhood has taken over in Egypt, and is positioning themselves in Syria. Benghazi, who is not a WalMart greeter but rather the location where Ambassador Stevens and three other patriots were left hanging to be murdered by the Obama administration, is presumed to have been the location for gun running negotiations where guns were being run through Turkey to the Syrian rebels, who are really the Muslim Brotherhood.  For more on the gun running, see the following Gateway Pundit article.

Don't we usually demand a full investigation, especially under the most transparent administration ever, when our Ambassador get killed?  Then why are we silencing witnesses?

As we have noted, Bachmann is correct on this and we encourage you to support her in any way possible.   Don't be distracted by all the noise surrounding and ridicule of Bachmann, just know that the reason she is being targeted is because she is asking questions the administration does not want to answer.  Efforts to discredit Bachmann have failed thus far, so the progressives are stepping up their game.

Bachmann indeed must be on to something.

A Predator Is At Large

Rand Paul asked some very serious questions regarding the predator drone program of the Obama administration. Sen. Paul got the answers, and they are perhaps the most troubling I have heard in decades. Glenn Beck has more:



While Attorney General Eric Holder says the President does have the right to use the drones attacking US citizens, Holder is mistaken. To utilize drones in this fashion is a blatant violation of the US Constitution, as our citizens have the right of due process.

Now, most should recognize that the Obama administration has little regard for our Constitution, finding it an imperfect document which limits what government can do as opposed to what government can and should do. Those who believe in freedom should soundly reject that premise, as our founders believed in limited government and built in a system of checks and balances to prohibit power from a branch of government from encroachment upon another branch.

Obama is flexing his muscle, attacking from several tentacles the second amendment, interfering in the first amendment aiming to control the Internet and now, through utilization of drones killing American citizens without due process. 

The administration are not honest brokers, and cannot be trusted with this type of authority.  In that regard, what are to make of the recent purchase of all these tanks for domestic use?

Forget the alarm clock, the house is on fire.


Thankfully, Senator Rand Paul is filibustering the vote on John Brennan for CIA Director by holding up the vote until the President informs the US citizenry he will not utilize the drones on the citizenry without due process.

It will not happen.

If Obama can get away with violating the Constitution in this regard, our country as we have know it is over.  Somebody needs to thwart Obama in a legally permissible fashion, and Senator Paul is doing just that. Please join in support of Senator Paul.  #StandWithRand

Enemies Hiding In Plain Sight

The days of sensible Democrats, such as Scoop Jackson, Reubin Askew, Zell Miller and Ed Koch, who we fondly recalled this past week after his passing, are long gone.  The party once smitten with John F. Kennedy has given way to a rancid collection of idiots, progressives and Fabian Socialists.

Michele Bachmann (R:MN)
The Republican party, regrettably, is no longer a safe harbor from progressive ideology either. An arena where this has recently been demonstrated involved a dual party attack on Rep. Michele Bachmann, (R:MN), in the aftermath of her leadership in questioning the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in our government.

There are levels of infiltration in the Unites States government with respect to the Muslim Brotherhood, which demands serious investigation Bachmann was prepared to engage in.  Bachmann was worried about what she has witnessed, and as Robert Spencer pointed out in a recent article, sought out to investigate potential "policies and activities that appear to be the result of influence operations conducted by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood".

While there is certainly a slow creep of Muslim influence in our country, considerable evidence suggests significant infiltration in our government. I want to know, and I appreciate the efforts on Rep. Bachmann in this regard.

Last June, Bachmann and four other Republicans, including Texas Representative Louie Gohmert, sent a letter to the Inspectors General questioning "the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups' access to top Obama administration officials".  Cited as an example, as Bachmann wrote in the letter, was "The Department's Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin, has three family members - her late father, her mother and her brother - connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and /or organizations,"

Huma Abedin & Sec. Hillary Clinton

This was not a personal attack on Ms. Abedin, who most respect as preforming in exemplary fashion in her role under Secretary Clinton, although her marriage to disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner raises judgment questions.  As it turns out, both of her parents have significant relationships with the Muslim Brotherhood, who in the minds of those not drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, are enemies of those who fight for freedom.  The letter posed by Bachmann was perfectly rational and focused on investigating the vetting process of those in government who may have associations with this group. 

Another example of a potential Muslim influence involves right wing anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist.  The left is hyperventilating over his Americans for Tax Reform pledge, but few seem concerned about ties Norquist has with The Muslim Brotherhood.   Married to a Muslim Palestinian born in Kuwait, Norquist resists those who portray all Muslims as terrorists.  Nobody with any credibility does, but we do need to have our eyes open to all potential enemies, foreign and domestic. Like Ms. Abbedin, all appears fine with Norquist, but we should have a vetting process for individuals who can effect policy.

Although we could set our watch in anticipation of the vicious attacks which would come from the left, for those still in denial the progressive ruling class is limited to one party the attacks from the GOP were most revealing.  Leading the GOP tongue lashing of Bachmann, along with Speaker John Boehner, was none other than John McCain, who caller her actions "sinister".  Given Sen. McCain is a war hero, one would surmise that he of all people would want to make sure our government is free from infiltration from individuals and groups that wish us harm.  Sadly, this is obviously not the case.

Those lining up in opposition to Bachmann include usual suspects, such as The Washington Post, but also right wind establishment outlets such as The Powerline blog.  Rep. Keith Ellison (D:MN), a Muslim, as expected responded to Bachmann, prompting her to write back correcting misrepresented facts, a stalwart maneuver of the left. Ellison is not reasonable on this subject, or many others for that matter.

Andrew McCarthy, a scholar on the subject, backed Bachmann completely and wrote a brilliant editorial making her case, placing into proper perspective the elements and rationale for the concern. Ret. Gen. Jerry Boykin is another backing the efforts Rep. Bachmann.

The Blaze has an extensive report.

In the aftermath of 9-11, the Bush administration reached out to Muslim organizations in a spirit of friendship; however many felt the efforts went to far.  Upon election, right out of the gate, the Obama administration seemed to divert from historical positions regarding relationships with governments, groups and individuals who are cozy with terrorist organizations. 

There have been many noteworthy instances, from the Egypt speech, to supporting the Mega Mosque at ground zero to the Arab spring, which although highly touted as a vehicle of peace by the regime and the complicit lap dog media, has created extreme chaos in the most troublesome region of the planet.

Issues continue with confusing relationships abroad, which most notably fired up after the events surrounding Benghazi.  With respect to Benghazi, Bachmann correctly accused the Obama administration of adopting a "false narrative", and there are clear indications, as Sen. Rand Paul (R:KY) put forth, that the administration was involved in gun running to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Is President Obama aiming to lift up the Islamic position around the world as part of the objective of the global transformation of wealth?

President Obama has nominated Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan to head the CIA.  Brennan, who said jihad is a legitimate tenant of Islam and that terror cannot be defeated as it is a state of mind, is concerning. In addition, he was behind purging intelligence training manuals of the terms "jihad" and "radical Islam".  Brennan is quite warm to Iran and their militant extensions, and his nomination should be soundly defeated.

But, if Bachmann is so out to lunch, why would our President be nominating individuals with ideologies which parallel those of The Muslim Brotherhood.  Why would our government, after a regime change which has led to control of Egypt by The Muslim Brotherhood, honor a previous agreement to sell F-15 fighter planes and tanks to Egypt?  Sadly, this is not all Obama, as GOP Senators are going along.

The global war on terror is not over, and there are significant threats to the US. Therefore, given the countless examples of an uneasy at best warming of relationships with governments, groups and individuals that at best support the slow creep of Sharia and at worst seek to harm our citizenry and way of life, we should get behind Rep. Bachmann in her effort to identify potential infiltration of our government.

More troubling is the reasoning of those who so angrily opposed her efforts.  Got me thinking they are hiding something.  When considering this subject, things certainly seem radically extended from the normal course of what is and what should never be.

Michele Bachmann should continue to question with boldness, speak without fear and hold to the truth.  Enemies appear to be hiding in plain sight.
