Cowardly Whiplash

"James Comey is a poisonous snake of the highest order… a deep-water Swamp Denizen who has been highly paid to deliberately provide cover for high-level corruption by the Clintons and Obama. He has been central to trying to destroy the Trump campaign and then the Trump administration from the start. He is as dirty as they come in DC. He had highest-level cover (the FBI no less) and was deep into an effort to eliminate Trump."

It makes sense, as the recent actions and testimonies of FBI Director Comey have been bewildering, appearing to tightrope appeal to both sides while using the law and agency discretion seemingly at whim. Is the reason for these "interesting" actions because he is an elite fixer?

"I'll say this for the suddenly departed FBI honcho James Comey: He's caused enough cases of whiplash to collapse Obamacare before the end of the week" wrote Mark Steyn.

Without question, Comey's tenure was a circus act, and he had to go.

Then came his Congressional testimony.

The left was hoping he would drop a bomb which would fuel the fire to impeach President Trump. Boy howdy, the level of disappointment they must have.

Comey had no smoking gun within his testimony, revealing a significant dislike for Trump. However, Comey seemed to create more questions than he answered.

He appeared to commit perjury based upon previous testimony when he described himself as playing a role in leaking information to the media. In addition, questions were raised about his lack of control of presumed confidential conversation.

What other information did Comey feel it necessary to leak?

Another interesting portion of his testimony is when he described waking up in the middle of the night, thinking that if tapes existed Trump may potentially release, he had to get out front of it by leaking his version of the events.  Well, if he was accurate about what happened, it would seem to me he would sleep fine knowing he would be vindicated upon their release.  He did not, and that tells you about everything you need to know.

Comey also described troubling actions by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, seeming to implicate himself in inconsistent action and potentially partisan obstruction.

“We need to round up all those people he [Comey] talked to – because we have a conspiracy remaining a foot in the Department of Justice that is going to be out to destroy this president and they’ve got to be fired if not worse.” - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R:TX).

Comey comes across well to the ill informed; however, his a deeply partisan egotistical individual who if given the opportunity, would plan to direct outcomes to his hearts delight.

Thankfully, he has been removed from having that opportunity, and should actually be investigated.

The Inside Story on James Comey

Appalling and Dishonorable

Texas Congressman Louis Gohmert told One America News that some very familiar names pressured members of the House Freedom Caucus to rethink who they would endorse for Speaker.

“Promises were made and as I understand it, our friend Senator Jim DeMint, now head of the Heritage Foundation was making calls persuading…really shocked me. I don’t guess I was so surprised that Newt Gingrich was making calls behind the scenes to Freedom Caucus members to tell them, ‘you gotta cave and go with Paul,’” Gohmert said.



Backdoor promises that are made, crossing the aisle to collaborate with those who plot the demise of our nation as founded and the elitism of the ruling class to govern above the head of the people they are elected to represent is appalling and dishonorable.

Shame on former Sen. DeMint of the Heritage Foundation for this betrayal of our founding principles as Ryan pledges to govern outside of the people, unwilling to have his authority challenged.

We continue to support Rep. Dan Webster (R:FL) for Speaker, and extend our greatest appreciation to Rep. Gohmert for keeping up the fight for freedom!

Protection of Power Pinnacle for Boehner

Rep. Louie Gohmert

Yesterday, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R;TX, led a charge against Speaker John Boehner, R;OH, in his bid to retain his speakership, by placing his name into consideration.  Gohmert, a conservative favorite, took this bold step as a result Boehner failing to adequately represent the peoples wishes.  In addition, both Ted Yoho, R:FL and Dan Webster, R:FL, also placed their names into consideration.

This was the most significant challenge to a sitting Speaker of the House in almost a century, and those who took this challenge upon themselves are to be congratulated.

I have longed for someone to take this step, as I deem Boehner a paper tiger who has failed miserably to thwart the onslaught of President Obama.  I hoped Michele Bachmann would make this move a few years back, but it failed to come to fruition.

Speaker John Boehner

The effort, although closer than the experts thought, failed and Boehner will retain his position.  While I most certainly would have voted against Boehner, many GOP members I respect (there are not many), supported Boehner.  Among them were Jason Chaffetz, R:UT, Trey Gowdy, R:SC and newly elected Mia Love, R:UT.

You might think Boehner, given the significance of the challenge, might take this opportunity to take the high road and reach out to those who voted against him with the hope of coming together to fight the Obama agenda.  You would be wrong.

Rep. Steve King, R:IA, one of the good guys, tweeted out that before the dust could settle, Boehner kicked Webster and Rep. Rich Nugent, R:FL, off the Rules Committee in a juvenile act of retaliation.  Rep. Gohmert was not amused, promising a "nasty fight", yet Boehner defended his action.

Sadly, it should be obvious to anyone that Speaker Boehner is more interested and protective of his own power than he is the will of the people or the Constitution of the United States of America.

Therefore, I continue to view him as an opponent, a big government progressive elite.

And with his victory, the ruling class is again victorious.

Hold The Racism

Fresh off threatening Rep. Louie Gohmert during testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee, Attorney General Eric Holder lashed out deeming the degree of questioning he received as racist, sinking to new lows by playing the race card.

Speaking before Al Shaprton's National Action Network, which actually is a racist organization whose mission is to shakedown opponents; threatening them with accusations of racism, Holder claimed both he and President Obama have had to deal with unprecedented criticism due in part to their race.



As usual with this crowd, nothing could be further from the truth. There is a long history of previous Attorneys General being raked over the coals. Most, no all, were Caucasian, so Holder's theory is officially squashed.

Once again, the brilliance of IBD Editorial Cartoonist Michael Ramirez:

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily

Holder was grilled because he has repeatedly held himself above the law, refusing to adequately respond to request by the committee for documents he is legally required to produce.  At least for the moment, we are a nation of laws; not men.

Sadly, these men are well aware of this fact, but aim to create chaos by raising false flags and creating animosity between the citizenry.  This is hardly behavior fitting men of character, something you would have thought these men learned from Martin Luther King, Jr.

Unfortunately, Dr. King was not a man Obama and Holder patterned their lives after; Frank Marshal Davis and Saul Alinsky were.

Louis Gohmert accurately assessed that Holder's recent actions have a demeaning affect on his office, but contrary to Holder's comments in from of NAN that it is not about him, he clearly thinks otherwise.

Neither Obama nor Eric Holder are fit to represent this nation in the offices they currently hold.  It is not because of the color of their skin, which nobody of merit cares about.  It is because they operate their own agenda of social justice, governing against the will of the people implementing socialist tentacles in wealth transformation believing wholeheartedly America is an unjust country.

The Founders would be appalled, as these men have a literal distaste for the Constitution.  It must be noted these men find the Constitution inadequate in that is a flawed document.  Obama sated his view of the Constitution as "a charter of negative liberties, which says what the states can’t do to you, what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

If you respect and hold dear our Constitution, then, sadly, you must recognize President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are political opponents of yours.  As we have stated previously, every legally permissible avenue must be approached to remove these individuals from their respective offices.

Is there not a tee time waiting or pick up game of hoops they can participate in?

The upcoming mid term elections, with some excellent candidates available for your consideration, comes next on the clock.  In the spirit of Dr. King, leadership by example, with emphasis on his non violent approach, is the best avenue to win the hearts and minds of the people, where justice will prevail.

Go There

A tense exchange occured up on Capitol Hill last week which I took particular notice of, as it seemingly included a direct threat to a member of the US House of Representatives.

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R:TX, a member of the House Oversight Committee, was involved in an exchange with Attorney General Eric Holder.  Lets go to the tape:


(h/t: Charlie Spiering)

Attorney General Holder, as I see it, is in contempt of court for failing to provide requested documentation from The Department of Justice.  Rep. Gohmert, a former judge, has extended Holder a courtesy by even discussing the matter with him, as most in contempt of court are in jail.

Rep. Louie Gohmert

The exchange prompted me to send Rep. Gohmert a note, which read as follows:

Rep. Gohmert; your efforts in this matter are greatly appreciated. With seemingly unwavering arrogance, Attorney General Holder continues to operate outside of the law. If our elected officials, and their appointed representatives, are lawless, our nation will cease to exist as founded. I hope you and your colleagues will accept the invitation of Attorney General Holder and "go there"; and the sooner the better.

Holder is an ideologue, using his position, not to enforce the laws of our country, but to impose his brand of social justice on the nation.  For this alone, he should be impeached, as he does not have the authority under the law to personalize his position. 

Evidence of Holder operating outside the law came early in his tenure when he failed to go forward with a voter intimidation case in Philadelphia involving his buddies in The New Black Panther Party threatening potential voters at a local precinct.  Certainly, you recall the event.

As a representative of the administration of President Barack Obama, who proclaimed his office would be the most transparent in history, Holder should eagerly turn over documents requested by House committees.

However, Holder has repeatedly failed to produce such documentaion.  Not only that, in his arrogance, he threatened Gohmert "not to go there".  In addition, he personally attacked Gohmert, thinking he scored big making fun of a tongue tied moment Gohmert supposedly had in a previous exchange a year ago.

Imagine Holder sitting with venom for over a year waiting for an opportunity to hammer Gohmert only to learn Gohmert was actually extending Holder yet another courtesy.

Holder has repeatedly demonstrated he is not fit for the office of Attorney General of the United States, disregarding laws, enforcing those of his choosing and utilizing his unelected position to inflict his ideas on social justice on our citizenry.

Enough of the courtesy.

Go There.  Immediately.

Fear Ratchets Up Nastiness

It is really getting nasty.

Those fighting for freedom are getting blasted from the progressives within both parties who in their arrogance seek to gain further control of the citizenry through expanding government.

Add FOX News Anchor Arthel Neville to the list of ill informed imbeciles who distort the facts and employ condescending ridicule to confuse the audience in effort to control the dialogue on important issues.  Get a listen to the hit job on Texas GOP Congressman Louie Gohmert.



WOW!  This was on FOX News Channel, if you noticed.

In some background, Senator Claire McCaskill, D:MO, recently accused Gohmert and others for grandstanding at the US WWII Memorial and of playing politics on the backs of veterans.  FOX News interviewed Gohmert, placing a crawler beneath labeling him as having to respond to the allegations he was playing politics with veterans, as if he had been deemed guilty.

Never mind that is actually President Obama, despicably so, that is the orchestrator of using the veterans, who his actions dictate a loathing of, in political games.  I missed the interviews with administration members calling them out for their unacceptable and anti-American behavior.

Rep. Gohmert is definitely on the progressive hit list, but it was a bit unsettling to see him attacked in such a juvenile manner on FOX News.  The viewership appropriately filled out the scorecard, and we took notice.

I find it quite puzzling that those in the media continue to hammer Rep. Gohmert, Sen. Cruz, R:TX, and Sen. Lee, R:UT, for fighting against for freedom when it is President Obama and his administration that are at fault for placing the country in economic peril.

Arthel Neville demanded honest talk from Gohmert, but she skirted the truth repeatedly in effort to win points assumably for her progressive allies, which she failed miserably at doing.  Please see the following points:

*Neville correctly points out public polling scores the Congress with historic lows, but fails to note that President Obama has an all time low in his approval rating as well.

* Neville is worried the "brand" of the GOP is being harmed, seemingly for not adhering to the demands of President Obama and joining forces to end the standoff. Sadly, the GOP has compromised; over and over again.  President Obama and Sen. Reid, D:NV, are the ones who has stated triumphantly he will not negotiate.  Since the House are the appropriators, this places Obama in a rather tight spot. 

*Neville suggested the low polling was due to GOP members not doing the Chris Christie waltz with Obama. But the GOP brand has been harmed due to party leaders not standing on the founding principles of the party, joining progressive big government counterparts in aiding the decline of prosperity here in America. Those are the GOP members who will feel the wrath at the ballot box.

*Neville demands a clear resolution, failing to note the Senate had not produced a budget and that Obama has presented budgets that have not received one, not one, vote.  The only clear bill would be the GOP "caving" to the demands of President Obama, which is total capitulation, an idea that would no doubt warm the heart of Ms. Neville but would in contrast to the conservative base of the GOP, of which I am a member.

The bottom line is that those in power will stop at no effort to retain it, and as evidenced by them ratcheting up the fight at every turn, from the media attacks and wreckless rhetoric of elected officials aiming to discredit and ridicule opponents to the escalated and illegal efforts in controlling citizen behavior, it can be noted their level of fear of those who aim to limit their power has them alarmed.

Fearful of losing, nudge moves to shove, which increases the opportunity for civil unrest, an event they are hoping for.  As it continues to get nasty, we must continue to act in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Let them show their faces from behind the mask, and the public will see those who seek to limit freedom of and embark on tyranny on we the people.

We hold the winning hand in the end.

No Quarter

Opportunities to save America from Obamacare, a governmental takeover of our health care system sprinting along the road we will have traveled arriving at the socialist utopia progressives have forever dreamed of, are few.

Certainly, those of us freedom fighters can appreciate the efforts of those will have stood in the face or tyranny, inclusive in particular of Mike Lee, R:UT, Rand Paul, R:KY, Marco Rubio, R:FL, Loise Gohmert, R:TX, Michele Bachmann, R:MN, and Ted Cruz, R:TX.  They are fighting for us!

 

It is important for the noise to be extracted from the truth, which is difficult for the average citizen to fight through amid all the lies and distractions.

For example, former president Bill Clinton was on ABC News This Week this morning telling untold lies.  Clinton said the following:  "I've never seen a time-- can you remember a time in your lifetime when a major political party was just sitting around, begging for America to fail?"

As a matter of fact, yes I can, recalling the Democrats cheering problems in Iraq the Bush administration was having pre-surge, calling for us to retreat while snatching defeat from the arms of victory. Then, there were the rules of engagement qualifications.

Actually, by advocating for a governmental takeover of health care, one would be seeking to limit freedom of choice and liberty of the citizenry, which I deem being complicit in seeking and assisting in the failure of America.

Clinton further offered that "If I were the president, I wouldn't negotiate over these draconian cuts that are gonna take food off the table of low-income working people, while they leave all the agricultural subsidies in for high-income farmers and everything else," he said. "It's chilling to me. The entitlement spending is going down as the unemployment rate drops and the economy grows. Half of the deficit's already disappeared. The rest of it just seems almost spiteful."

The country is bankrupt, and food is not being taken off the table for low-income working people, which is actually part of the reason why the country is bankrupt; unnecessary and growing entitlements.  What is significantly harming the low-income working people is the lack of being able to work, as economic policies of the Obama administration has devastated the work force, particularly for low level and minority workers.

Entitlement spending, with a record number of folks on food stamps, is not "going down".  On top of that, many folks who cannot find work have shifted from the unemployment rolls to the disability rolls, receiving assistance all along the way. Although statistically growing at minuscule levels, the economy is shambles, and the deficit has in no way disappeared. 

What is spiteful and appalling is to speak this type of dishonesty to the American people in effort to seek continuance of the power these individuals have; the country be damned. As such, the former president has identified himself as a dishonest broker. Who knew?

I continue to hear how republicans are blocking the legislation from moving forward.  If only that were true.  Sadly, several GOP members are fighting Sen. Cruz harder than some Democrats.

Obamacare is an encroachment on personal liberty and freedom, a vehicle for massive government control of the citizenry, a road we are traveling to a single payer system.  While progressives demand we wave the flag of surrender, every legally permissible opportunity to thwart Obamacare must be taken.

The fight is on; offer these dishonest opponents of freedom No Quarter!

Enjoyed the Fresh Air on Cruz Control

Ted Crus, R:TX/Photo CSPAN

Senator Ted Cruz, R:TX, took to the Senate floor with the character of a statesman and for 21 hours spoke eloquently against Obamacare, a hideous plan of socialized medicine and government control limiting the freedom and liberty of the citizenry.

Cruz left the personal attacks behind, attacking Obamacare point by point based upon what we know regarding the ever changing bill as the Secretary shall determine. Epic to be sure.

As expected, arrows flew the way of Cruz from lemming Democrats and deranged left wing progressives, many of whom personally attacked Cruz.  Chuck Schumer, D:NY and Senate Majority Leader and despicable individual Harry Reid were two.

In what has become an all too familiar reality, arrows shot at the back of Cruz came from members of his own party, which included the usual suspects.  In fact, John McCain took the floor to admonish Cruz.  You recall McCain would not dream of doing that when he ran against Obama is 2008, but  seems eager to get in the face of Cruz. Pitiful.

As reported by Brietbart, Representative Louie Gohmert (R -TX) sat in the chamber during the entire event watching Cruz talk about liberty and the totalitarian Cuban Communist regime Cruz's own father faced as a teenager.  Gohmert is one of the good guys without doubt.

Cruz represented the people who sent representatives to Washington specifically to fight the oppressive and tyrannical government who seek to limit freedom.  Those opposed are intoxicated with power, and are illustrative of what is wrong in and with Washington.

Cheers to Ted Cruz; we got your back.  It was a pleasure to ride on Cruz Control the over the last day, and your efforts are greatly appreciated.  In addition, the decorum you choose to engage provides an example to many of how legitimate differences in opinion can be placed in the public square.

For those seeking Cruz, Paul, Lee and the Tea Party Patriots across the fruited plain to surrender our liberty, the wait will be long.  Cruz no doubt channeled to wisdom of Ronald Reagan on this day, who spoke of these battles in his first inaugural speech.

Steps will be taken aimed at restoring the balance between the various levels of government. Progress may be slow—measured in inches and feet, not miles—but we will progress. Is it time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden. And these will be our first priorities, and on these principles, there will be no compromise.

Thanks to Senator Ted Cruz for standing up for us freedom fighters.  Cowboy Up! #DefundObamacare #MakeDCListen #StandWithCruz

Immigration Legislation A Sociopolitical Monster

An immigration bill, derived by yet another dreadful "gang of eight", is on the fast track to becoming law.

As a member of the gang of eight, Florida Senator Marco Rubio is the mouthpiece of the legislation, which is beyond disappointing. I was among the legions of Floridians who enthusiastically supported Rubio's candidacy against Charlie Christ, whose principles were set by changes in wind direction.


Rubio speaks at Orlando Tea Party rally

 

After a thorough victory, the hope for results matching the rhetoric were high. I have heard Rubio speak personally on many occasions, and he eloquently spoke, from the heart without teleprompter, about the founding principles of our country and conservative answers to the myriad of issues engulfing our nation. His story is most compelling, and he was among those Mitt Romney strongly considered as a running mate in 2012.

Therefore, it is with extreme disappointment Rubio has violated many of those principles in supporting the immigration legislative efforts. While we recognize our immigration policy, an issue of passion for Rubio, is broken, it should be clear the constituents who elected Rubio did not send him to Washington to join in legislation with Chuck Schumer (D:NY), Dick Durbin (D:IL), Lindsey Graham (R:SC) and John McCain (R:AZ), a good man who has apparently lost his mind.

Many GOP members, apparently inclusive of Rubio, are under the false belief that with these immigrants tied to the Democrats the only hope of ever winning another election is to appease these illegal immigrants by merging minds on the issue with progressives. Rubio's election in Florida, sinking with immigrants, should have been proof of that error in judgement.

Although Rubio insists he is not being set up, from the granstands it looks quite differently.  Rubio is quickly losing credibility among the GOP, and rightfully so.  Dana Rohrabacher, (R:CA) ripped Rubio. “Rubio is so mixed up and so confused. I think he has given up his rightful place to advise any of us in Washington what to do, and he’s given up any right to be trusted by the American people,” he said."

The Senate is formulating a bill on the fast track, which will then head over to the House.  Over there, the House will attempt to redirect the Senate by passing a bill seemingly more in line with common sense American views on the issue.  At this point, the bills will meet in conference committee to be reconciled, as which point a new bill will be finalized and voted upon, one heavily influenced by the left.  There will not be enough opposition for the GOP to stop it, and boom, we have amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants.  Yes, they are illegal immigrants.

Therefore, to prohibit the conference from taking place, it is imperative that nothing passes in the House.  Among those who understand the trojan horse being set up, and working to defeat it, are Louie Gohmert (R:TX), Michele Bachmann (R:MN) and Steve King (R:IA).

This trifecta of republicans astutely recognize that for the progressives, while this is portrayed a humane answer to the immigration issues, the real goal is to crash the system, leaving the majority of the citizenry dependant on government assistance and control, described as a "governing coalition for the long term".  It is Cloward and Piven, and it simply must be defeated on the battlefield of ideas.

Rubio also initially said the border fence would be a precursor to an immigration policy being implemented, but Rubio has since reversed that thought, proclaiming the necessity to get tax revenue from the new legal immigrants to fund the fence.  Legalization first, border security second. Not so fast my friend.

In fact, we already have laws requiring border security that is not being enforced.  Border security, and the right to security, is found in the foruth amendment.  With the government failing to secure the border, they are in violation of the rule of law and our Constitution.  Sadly, the government is picking and choosing which laws they think it prudent to enforce. This type of governance was something our founders warned us about.

There is not a promised path to citizenship for those who are here illegally, and those who are here illegally must retreat through the system legally. The process allowing legal immigrants must be overhauled to expedite the process for those who seek to become citizens and assimilate and become productive members of our communities, not adopting the practices of working the welfare system.

Should this legislation pass, the heavy weight of the increase of entitlements for those new immigrants will lead to socialism and a total collapse of our economic system.  As the great Barry Goldwater once said, "And here we encounter the seeds of government disaster and collapse -- the kind that wrecked ancient Rome and every other civilization that allowed a sociopolitical monster called the welfare state to exist." 

The gang of eight are playing games, and the results of this immaturity could jettison our great experiment to the ash heap of history. 

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.
