Sarah Palin is worth the price of any admission, as few convey the heart and soul of America more than Sarah Barracuda. Palin strikes fear in all the ruling elite who seek control and aim at restricting freedom over the citizenry, which is why attempts to discredit her are unwavering.
For someone liberals claim is among the idiots of our day, she sure is correct a lot, slapping around the ruling class with relentless doses of common sense.
This continued in grand fashion over the weekend at CPAC, a conservative convention held annually. Invoking the unrivaled humor of Theodore Geisel, commonly known as Dr. Seuss, Sarah Palin appropriately blasts Obamacare as the tyrannical, top-down, bureaucratic regulatory scheme it is.
There is no John Doe leader of the Tea Party, but if the Tea Party had a leader, it would be Sarah Palin. Due to inflicted damage to her by the media, she may not be able to become a candidate on the national stage herself, a real shame, but nobody carries more weight with an endorsement than Palin.
And with striking success, her candidates win.
It would be nice if the low information crowd, and those not totally consumed with Obama and his radical partners, took a hard look at the real record of Sarah Plain. They would find someone who highly values the principles set forth by our founding fathers, which is the blueprint for how our nation should be governed.
Furthermore, they would find someone with an appreciation for the rule of law, noted by her prosecution of those violating the law on both sides of the aisle. For her, all those charged with governance who violate the law should be prosecuted, not just Democrats.
Don't worry. The progressive power brokers, and the low information followers who cheer as their own freedom is restricted, will never seek the real truth. If only they could see.
Palin is a major threat to those, on both sides, who seek to take power away from the people, placing it in the hands of a tyrannical, top-down, bureaucracy. Sunshine is the most powerful disinfectant, and Palin shines brightly wherever she goes informing America about those who seek to limit freedom.
Dr. Suess once said “think and wonder, wonder and think.” Give it some thought.
According to the the Progressives, the elite ruling class, adoring Obamabots and idiots at large among the most fervent admirers of our Commander in Teleprompter, we are informed that President Obama is a man of unprecedented vision, among the most intellectually astute and charmed individual ever to aspire to public service.
So much so, in fact, as reported by John Fund in The Corner, the admiration of the all knowing Obama his chief advisor Valerie Jarrett knows no bounds. “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

Since Uncle Sam was so fortunate to have this extraordinary charlatan as our President, we the constituents recognize his keen insight into pop culture events, sporting event prognostication and divisive behavior among law abiding citizens.
However, with untold scandals entangling his administration, ones which have cost the lives of those charged to serve and protect this country, violated countless economic, contract and constitutional laws and nationalized private commerce across the fruited plain, we are told Obama was not integrally involved.
No, Obama cannot be held accountable, for he was not involved. Back during attack on our country via the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Patriots in Benghazi, Obama was playing cards. It was the eighth re-run of Sportscenter on ESPN when the NSA spying program was given the OK. Obama was busy on sustainable community research when the Obamacare website was given a trial run. In his brilliance, Obama was tapped in via electronic surveillance on Tea Party groups when untold illegal aliens were released to collect entitlement benefits while plotting their next blue collar crime.
It is simply beyond ridiculous.
Obama is eager to take credit for any measurable success which is championed by not only his supporters, but a criminally complicit media. However, when things go wrong, without question the President was otherwise occupied and cannot and will not be held responsible.
Those who are deemed responsible are lining up in circles, and the citizenry is getting whip sawed.
It is in fact the Limbaugh theorem; Obama cannot be held accountable for destruction he is perceived to not have been part of the implementation or orchestration thereof. Certainly, the public did not feel the need to hold him accountable as he defeated Mitt Romney in 2012.
But, the Obamacare debacle may be too much for even this smooth talking impostor President to overcome. After all, certainly he would be responsible for something proudly bearing his name.
Back in 2009, at a Tea Party rally in beautiful downtown Orlando featuring Rep. Steve King, R:IA, and radio talk show host Mike Gallagher, standing in the background
off my right shoulder I noticed a familiar face; John Boehner, R:OH.
Boehner was not advertised as a featured speaker, and it appeared by his demeanor he was sort of scoping out the situation. Indeed, as you may suspect, Boehner was identified and was asked to speak ao the crowd delivering what one would consider a decent speech noting all the customary rhetoric concerning the encroachment of freedom being engaged upon by our newly elected President.
But, it did not appear Boehner was comfortable.
In fact, Speaker Boehner has never been comfortable with the Tea Party faction of the GOP. Items and issues have continued to mount since that evening in Orlando, and on this day we can most certainly conclude that Boehner is a progressive republican who is more comfortable with the big government ruling class than those who champion free markets and the Constitution.
Two recent issues are worth noting. First, Speaker Boehner has failed to step up with leadership in the investigation surrounding the most troubling events in Benghazi, at a minimum standing in the background reminiscent of the aforementioned Orlando evening.
The Democrats, and perhaps the progressive republicans, may welcome this type of chicanery within their ranks, but those of us in Tea Party, and I would hope most Americans, find it offensive.
But do Republicans and Democrats actually exist anymore? Some say no, and they are likely correct.
Glenn Beck recently interviewed Mark Leibovich of The New York Times, author of the new book "This Town" discussing this theory in some detail. Please take a listen:
It sure seems a three party system is where we are at; the far left communists, the interior progressive ruling class and the Tea Party Constitutionalists. Those in the middle are the careerists Leibovich refers to; folks like the Clintons, John McCain and John Boehner.
For the citizenry living in the middle, who seemingly find moderates for either party acceptable, one has to wonder if they are aware of the expansive governmental control surrounding them due to this miscalculation. The unprecedented intrusion of the NSA, IRS and EPA and Obamacare waivers for big business and the ruling class are recent examples.
Some of the voters simply throw their hands into the air, disengaged, not only by the distractions of the day outlined in the works of Aldous Huxley but by the thought that those in contest are essentially the same, therefore placing little relevance regarding their vote.
This line of thinking was eloquently chronicled in an outstanding piece by Angelo Codevila, titled America's Ruling Class - And the Perils of Revolution in The America Spectator in 2010. "The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party -- and its vision is revolutionary." This is a must read.
One thing is for sure. The current blueprint is unsustainable, and if we don't take the necessary steps to end the madness and employ the vision from the first Reagan inaugural speech by reawakening this industrial giant, forcing government back within its means in every arena and by lightening
our punitive tax burden, we are destined for darkness.
Free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity, allowing entrepreneurship and individualism to flourish unleashing freedom and liberty across the fruited plain. Political action, from any party, to the contrary restricting these founding principles should be vehemently rejected, while still possible.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
During the last election campaign, we were led to believe by the Obama campaign and the mainstream media that Republicans were waging a war on women. Obviously, as usual with this group who seek to demonize, ridicule and discredit their opponents, nothing could be further from the truth.
That does not mean they were not successful in creating the false narrative. In threatening a potential domestic policy described as limiting to women with respect to health care issues, women became terrified of a retracement of women's rights eclipsing reality. The left, with a complicit media assisting, were relentless in their attack on the issue, which was personalized for many women.
Although the right is certainly against abortion, the base of these attacks were outside of that argument, utilizing an orchestrated attack on contraception, starting from a seemingly out of left field question to GOP primary contender Mitt Romney. It is recognized that there is a divide with respect to abortion between many women who hold their right to chose dear and those who think the rights of choice end when a human life is conceived. A Mitt Romney victory could not immediately impact the abortion debate, although it was presented it could.
Knowing the falsity of the attacks, the right was somewhat bewildered on why the left would keep running with this seemingly non existent issue. We had the misfortune of being introduced to Sandra Fluke, and got a very strange campaign ad from a television star few had heard of.
As we examined the aftermath of the re-election of Barack Obama, we found that this false issue actually resonated with women voters. Polling shows that women were much more concerned about getting contraception, with several options reasonably priced at retail outlets such as Wal-Mart (WMT:NYSE), than losing gainful employment, watching their housing values plummet, rising gas prices and a declining standard of living.
Welcome to the low information voter, or ones who cannot decipher the truth amongst the waves of propaganda.
There is no war on women from the right, and we champion women with great respect. They are our grandmothers, our mothers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, friends, bosses and co-workers, neighbors, customers and teammates. They are leaders, champions, and competitors who provide a necessary guidance in all of our lives. In one of my employment capacities, the director of the department is a woman. We could not and would not want to live without women.
Women play vital roles in the fabric of society. It was women who led the way in the formation of the Tea Party, as noted in a recent column. Women also excel in inventions and innovation, noted in recent years by Sara Blakely, a fellow graduate of The Florida State University, who invented a "body shaping" innovative product in undergarments called Spanx, now a billion dollar operation.
All Americans should champion the success of women, as their success is our success.
Today, another opportunity exists to celebrate women as Danica Patrick won the pole position for the 55th running of The Great American Race; the Daytona 500. Patrick recorded the fastest time in her Stewart Haas #10 Go Daddy Chevrolet and became the first female to win a pole for a NASCAR race.
Congratulations Danica! Good luck running the high banks when they put the field under green on Sunday. No war on women. We will be at Daytona International Speedway, a place with scarce liberal infiltration, Thursday and Sunday, cheering you on!
In the aftermath of the results of the election, there has been plenty of gloating and commentary floating around. Much of the discussion has centered around the Republican Party, in efforts to identify and outline the GOP deficiencies.
Seemingly everyone has weighed in. Karl Rove offered excuses and Bill Kristol wants to join Democrats and raise taxes. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal came out swinging earlier today. In my view, most of these folks cannot see the forest for the trees.
A longtime respected friend and associate of mine, and Obama supporter, immediately called for the restoration of the Republican party to national relevance; by casting off the Tea Party. It should be noted that Mitt Romney, considered by almost everyone a superior candidate to John McCain, got a decidedly lower vote total. In my analysis of what could have caused this difference, the diagnosis centers around Sarah Palin.
Certainly, the GOP should not take direction from progressive arm chair quarterbacks like my friend. The conclusions they draw make sense to those aiming to continue the transformation of America, but to those who remain true to the foundations our country was founded upon, they should be strongly rejected.
My aforementioned friend thinks the Tea Party wing of the Republican party, of which Palin is affectionately associated with, is extremist. Among the tenants I have observed at the numerous Tea Party rallies I have attended are fiscal sanity, limited government, personal accountability and responsibility, opposition to increasing entitlements, the rejection of the Obamacare and the love of God, family and country. God heavens, if this is extremist, we lost the country a long time ago.
Old school Democrats have lost their party to elite extremist progressives, and out previous post "Knowing Kennedy" points out a significant example with respect to taxes. Regrettably, the post race analysis tells us many GOP folks sat the election out.
I conclude that this is because the GOP at the top levels is too close to the Democrats in positions. Mitt Romney is a fine man, and many thought, including me, he ended up being better suited to go up against Obama at this time. But, that thought process was incorrect.
Contrary to my friends opinion, the GOP needs to further embrace the Tea Party, not distance itself from it. Free market principles are indeed the best path to prosperity, and it is all-inclusive. Massive entitlements and controlling governmental influence reduces opportunities and incentives, curbs economic freedoms and reduces economic output, all the while robbing individuals of their hopes, dreams and dignity.
With Obama winning 51% of the votes, far from a mandate, many on all sides are calling for major GOP compromise, including progressives who masquerade as republicans. No.
The GOP must do a much better job of selling ideas and promoting the all inclusive promise and rewards of free enterprise. When coupled with the tenants considered important by the Tea Party, a platform for prosperity can be embarked upon by all.
This platform would be similar to the ideas and principles put forth by Ronald Reagan. At this time, with calls for compromise ringing loud, we should stand on our principles. Our differences with the progressives need to presented be in stark contrast; a time for bold colors, no pale pastels.
As Reagan said, on these principles there will be no compromise.
No time for lane changes. Lets get the message clear, and win the day on the battlefield of ideas.
Thanks to a redrawn district in south Florida resulting in a heavily Democratic constituency, Congressman Allen West (R:FL), is in a dogfight to hold his seat in Congress. West is an outspoken conservative who often rattles cages in Washington, and thankfully, this former Army Lieutenant Colonel does not suffer progressives kindly. Just my kind of guy!
Patrick Murphy is the Democrat attempting to unseat West, and he has been given full support from the Democratic Leadership, as unseating West has been considered a priority. The Wikipedia page for Murphy ( I recognize Wikipedia can rival NBC News for lack of integrity ) describes him as a graduate of the University of Miami whose disgust with the Tea Party led him to switch from a Mitt Romney supporter to a Democrat who supported Obamacare, is pro LGBT rights and favors higher taxes. Not my kind of guy!
According to the Murphy campaign, many of his views do not mesh well with the progressives associated with the Democratic leadership, suggesting to me his opinions and principles are flexible and not cast in stone. For example, Murphy indicates he supports expanding job creation and promoting business growth, something the Obama administration has been stifling through excessive regulation, taxation, Obamacare and economic uncertainty.
Murphy has some past personal issues as well. Certainly, many of us have had our moments, myself included, although most without an arrest record. It sure looks like Murphy has turned the page and is now a fine upstanding citizen; good for him!
Murphy is hitting West with falsities in the campaign, most notably on two issues; job creation and women's rights. Not withstanding the barriers to job growth implemented by President Obama, under Gov. Rick Scott, Florida is creating jobs, although an unacceptable rate due to the attacks on small business. In addition, there is no attack on women as put forth by Obama, and the principles West stands for, inclusive of the promotion of family values and the promotion of free market principles, are partners in success for women and their families.
West has released a stunning ad detailing the commitment Allen West has to America, in contrast to a emerging you man who continues to find his footing regarding the direction our nation should embark upon. No such wavering in decision making from West:
Well, there you have it.
A proud conservative and American patriot, Allen West is highly representative of the individual we need in Washington, a leader who calls balls and strikes and has little toleration for governmental bureaucrats who seek to transform American values and principles decreasing individual freedom along the way.
Among my favorite people in Washington, BAHL offers full support for Congressman Allen West.
Information presented to the Public by various outlets is being crafted to misrepresent reality in an effort to skew political thinking, gain economic advantage and nudge social justice further down the American psyche.
This is the fourth in a series of blog posts detailing instances in this regard, as it is imperative the Public recognize the significant level of misrepresentation and how vast the manipulation is and gather information from trusted sources.
Information Misrepresentation: NBC News.
For years, NBC News was a respected outlet for news. Many may recall Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, and there were days when Tom Brokaw was credible. Sadly, this is no longer true. Perhaps the fatal blow came when General Electric (GE:NYSE) became the parent company of NBC, but at any rate, make no mistake, they are not presently accurate, cannot be trusted and are essentially Obama campaign members.
Doubt me?
Although there were instances raising eyebrows, it was a two by four to the forehead during the emergence of the Tea Party in 2010. Please see the following report from MSNBC:
Oh my gosh! Racist white folks protesting out first black President are running around with machine guns at Tea Party rallies! It is not football season and I think Lee Corso is fishing; but not so fast my friend!
MSNBC misrepresented the truth by a large measure, and risked placing people in harms way by playing the race card and potentially inciting riots. Please see a local ABC-TV report showing the real story:
Nothing has changed over at NBC, even though Comcast (CMSCA:NASDAQ) is now owner. NBC recently busted doctoring a tape of George Zimmerman, the Central Florida man who is charge with killing Travon Martin, which recently strained race relations. No worries at 30 Rock.
In fact, with Obama dive bombing in recent polls, NBC has increased the propaganda. NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell, wife of former FED Chair Alan Greenspan, blatantly edited a Mitt Romney speech in juvenile fashion in effort to misrepresent Romney's comments.
Glenn Beck was not amused, and gives you the full story:
Recognizing the error of their ways, Andrea Mitchell cleared the air on her program. Well, at least she thinks she did. Beck is really fired up now, and you should be as well.
We have a very important election ahead of us, and it is critical you get your information from trusted sources, and make no mistake, NBC is not one of them. This is regrettable. I have been on the Today Show and enjoy the history of the proud peacock and NBC News. But the days of solid reporting from this network are history, and they fake out thousands of our citizens who have formerly trusted this news division and have no idea they are sellouts for progressive interests.
There are countless examples of this type of activity, and NBC is not alone, But, they are by far the worst and no longer even attempt journalism. It is worse than you think with these anti-America impostors, but now you know.
Yes, employ a sell signal should you own Comcast (CMSCA:NASDAQ) or General Electric (GE:NYSE), which I do not.
Fresh from another Tea Party in lovely downtown Orlando with a couple thousand fellow Patriots, I am reminded of the vast differences between Tea Party Patriots and the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
One group is quite civil, with the aim of reducing debt, promoting limited government, embracing the principles of our Founding Fathers and championing the the best path to prosperity, free market capitalism.
The other, a well financed collection of useful idiots and professional left wing provocateurs, who have associations with global entities who aim for the destruction of the United States of America.
With the mainstream media, and idiotic governmental Representatives blatantly distorting the truths behind these groups, it may not seem clear cut for those hard working Americans, who don't have time to truth check the media, to ascertain where the truth lies. Well, there is the obvious level of decorum of conduct exhibited.
For those that think the Occupy protesters have occupied a job in the rapidly growing economy we have been informed we have, you would be quite mistaken. In fact, look for this group to embark on an increased level of protest and civil disobedience far exceeding the trial run from last year. Efforts by this group to re-create '68, and it is much of the same people orchestrating the events, will disrupt many of lives over the summer.
Therefore, it is important for America to gain an understanding of exactly who these people are, and what their nefarious objectives area. While avenues of the written word exists, most notably a new book by Buck Sexton, Citizens United will premiere a movie event this summer titled Occupy Unmasked. Here is the trailer:
Stephen Bannon and David Bossie do a fine job in assembling the players, and it is quite stunning to learn for those who are on the outside looking in. Knowledge is power, and adequately vetting the players from President Obama down to the camper urinating on the police cruiser, is vital as we engage in battle to reclaim prosperity, rule of law and freedom for the United States of America.
Certainly, the journalistic standards of the mainstream media have totally collapsed, rendering these media outlets dead and buried, and any semblance of truth, vacated. An recent example of this can be found in recent articles declaring the Tea party, who utilized a high level of decorum in opposition to government spending to the 2010 mid terms, as dead. ABC News and The Washington Post could be named as leaders in the reporting of this false narrative.
As it turns out, on a gorgeous sun splashed afternoon in Orlando on April 15, a Tea Party event took place with some 3000 patriots taking time out of valuable weekend time to stand in protest of excessive spending and the attack on the Constitution by the Obama regime.
Bud Hedinger, of 540 WFLA, emceed the event which had a slew of strong speakers. Florida Governor Rick Scott was the headline, and he gave us a quarter hour of his implementation of sound economic theory he placed into practice, which has resulted in a decreasing unemployment rate and job creation.
KCarl Smith of the Frederick Douglass Republicans gave a passionate speech regarding the state of race politics, where the African American community just blindly vote Democrat. Smith purports that Frederick Douglass is the key to turning this mindset, and perhaps our countries future, around. I found tremendous merit in his message, which will expanded upon further in a later blog post.
Unfortunately, as the final speaker of the event, some missed a golden opportunity to hear commentary by Trevor Loudon, author of the book Barack Obama and the Enemies Within, and purveyor of The New Zeal blog. Loudon, a New Zealander, is a walking encyclopedia on the Obama regime and their nefarious associations, including strong ties to the Communist Party. Loudons Key-Wiki is an awesome tool in assembling the players and their associations, which are lengthy. Many Americans can't seem to grasp, and maybe they just can't face how easily they were duped, the type of individual elected to our highest office.
It was a great afternoon of patriotism and education for one and all, as the time to sit on the sidelines has long past as never in our lifetime have we faced such tyranny. While the media may be dead, the Tea Party is very much alive and kicking.
It depends on what side of the fence you sit on but Uncle Sam's gears are being grinded.
If you are a Progressive, big government is the answer in the form of top down government control over the citizenry, you have to be impressed what President Obama has accomplished. The transformation is taking place.
Free market capitalists, who subscribe to Reagan's philosophy that government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem, are sick to the stomach at the destruction of the system of government and economic system our forefathers envisioned under the command of President Obama. Hence, the Tea Party.
Lest there be no doubt, if we are to be a free market based country of hard work ethic, integrity and a desire to compete and succeed, the efforts of President Obama will go down ranking among the worst administrations in our short history. Who could have ever imagined we would be longing for the days of Jimmy Carter?
It would be great if we could just vote Obama out and get our life back. Unfortunately, it is not that simple, as few of our citizens can really grasp their arms around the depth of the issues surrounding our nation.
The problems are so deeply embedded, it will take decades to return this country to a position where economic and social prosperity can expand exponentially and potential can be maximized.
Outside of the the Reagan administration, which is really only a blip on the radar screen, we have been traveling this path for over 100 years. But Reagan's tenure is most significant, offering a glimpse of the enormous potential of not only America, but each and every individual who help make up our citizenry.
As the folks down at Occupy Wall Street think, wealth should be transferred from those who have accomplished to those who, for whatever reason, have not enjoyed such success with the government being the administrator. Under this thought process, those who risked everything for the hope of achieving a return on investment and continuous income stream offering security provided the integrity the gain was based upon continues, are viewed as greedy and obstacles to the socialistic beliefs of the Progressives.
Today, the President Obama offered up a new plan to forgive student loans. The student loan forgiveness plan has been floating around for months, with the basis for action passed into law in of all places, Obamacare. This blog tackled the student loan forgiveness topic a few weeks back, noting the moral decay from the government interfering in private contracts. While many argue the plan does not impact private loans, it indeed does as those participating in those loans do not get the benefit, and are thereby penalized for adhering to an agreed upon contract.
Whether the government interference is in student loans or mortgages, when contract law is dismissed you have no rule of law, no basis for a sound economic system, and thus the collapse of a free market system is imminent.
Although few are aware, the collapse of the system has been the plan all along. From Cloward and Piven to the radical elements of the 1960's rebellion, the objective has been clear and is being demonstrated right before your eyes in the orchestrated protests going on now under the Occupy Wherever banner. Among those orchestrating the events; ACORN.
The radicals of the sixties are now in charge, and us common folk are not the counter culture. As former Obama Green Jobs Czar Van Jones once quipped, we must drop the radical pose for the radical ends. The radicals of the sixties are not against civil unrest or violence. Glenn Beck has been right on target pointing out the objectives of these folks, as you can hear by listening to this clip from his television show.
To understand how to defeat these folks, and they must be defeated, it is vital to understand some history. The following video is an eye opening tale of some of that history, and offers those now seeking answers to why Uncle Sam finds herself in such upheaval some clues. Please watch in entirety:
It is with regret to report that the fight for our country is fully engaged by our opponents within, but a great deal of our citizenry has yet to wrap their arms around what is taking place. It is now, given the economic numbers, economic policy and mind boggling foreign policy being engaged in that many are seeking some answers to bewildering questions. When you learn about the objectives of this movement, although they are shocking to the unsuspecting mind, the visual becomes clear.
We can no longer sit on the sideline. Before we elect a new signal caller for 2012, the team needs each of us to get in the game and stand up now engaging in leadership by example in demonstration of the first principles through legally permissible action inclusive of faith, education, service and discipline.
At some level, our fight is not with the useful idiots at Occupy Wherever, although there is a high level of hatred being displayed. The fight is really with the orchestrator's working in and out the shadows who are long in the tooth of this battle. Open your eyes as many of these folks are presently exposing themselves as they sadly become more embolden by our President, who is one of them.
The 2012 candidacy for the GOP nomination of Newt Gingrich (R:GA) is over. An early exit, stage left.
On Sunday, Gingrich was a featured guest on NBC's Meet The Press, and offered the following comments in speaking of the Path to Prosperity put forth by Paul Ryan (R:WI):
“I don’t think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering,” Gingrich said speaking of Ryan’s plan. “I don’t think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate.”
Many were intrigued by the candidacy of Gingrich, and open to potentially supporting him as he has appeared to have matured and grown since his days as Speaker of the House. Certainly, Gingrich is a fountain of ideas and his work in and knowledge of the arena of US history is phenomenal.
With his comments attacking Ryan and his plan, Gingrich has removed himself from consideration by most conservatives, and almost certainly any Tea Party Patriots. Byron York, of The Washington Examiner, wrote of the comments former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett put forth on his nationally syndicated morning talk radio show. York reported what I heard live as Secretary Bennett said the comments were "an unforgivable mistake, in my judgment" and that Gingrich "has taken himself out of serious consideration for the [2012] race."
On my scorecard, I did not have Gingrich ranked high, but I eagerly awaited the wide array of ideas I anticipated he would interject into the debate. Instead, he is out in Howard Dean fashion.
Perhaps this is a wake up call for other GOP current or potential candidates. We do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem, principally due to the rising entitlement wave. Created long ago with FDR and advanced by LBJ, the entitlements of the past eroding the financial health of this country. Under this wreckless administration exponentially expanding entitlements, inclusive of the new health care legislation, we are heading toward financial ruin.
Free market capitalism, not government programs, will lead the way back to prosperity. Paul Ryan is a leader, the only elected official with the guts to tackle the problem of entitlements. Unfortunately, most Republicans are distancing themselves from Ryan and his plan, for political gain.
Among the critical items on my short list in potentially supporting a candidate in the GOP primary is support of the Ryan plan. Many conservatives and Tea Party patriots would agree. The financial position of the country is in a critical stage, and we demand, since we are all tightening our belts, that it be immediately dealt with. Those who want to dance around the issue and not stand with Rep. Ryan will learn that they cannot hide from us. We surround you, and we will dispose of you, primary by primary.
Newt Gingrich now knows, having been immediately shown the exit stage left with a blown engine before his campaign even got the tire pressure up.
Those of us Americans who live in the world of sanity are still attempting to put our arms the senseless tragedy of the assassination attempt on Representative Gabrielle Giffords, (D:AZ), which left her gravely wounded.
Representative Giffords was holding an event called "Congress on Your Corner" at a Safeway grocery store in northwest Tuscon when a deranged imbecile shot her in the head at point blank range. The gunman killed six others, including Federal Judge John Roll, and wounded another dozen or so.
Congresswoman Giffords was known as a moderate, blue dog Democrat who is well respected on both sides of the isle. I have seen a dozen or so interviews with Rep. Giffords, most notably during somewhat frequent appearances on FOX News "On The Record", hosted by Greta Van Susterin, and have always found her to be principled and respectful.
Although Giffords was not considered a controversial public servant, the Police have indicated Giffords was targeted. Giffords was a supporter of the Obama health care overhaul, but fought the administration hard on border security issues. At this point, it is unclear if any of these or other political positions played a role in the assassination attempt.
In a most unfortunate turn of events, although regrettably expected, many on the far left wing have turned to throwing blame at every conservative political opponent they can think of, from the Tea Party to Rush Limbaugh.
MSNBC's Keith Oblermann immediately played the political card and assessed blame:
Sarah Palin, in an effort to identify supporters of Obamacare who were up for election to be challenged, utilized a map of the United States which had targets placed on the geographical map of the locations of these members of Congress. This illustrative chart, retrospectively, was ill advised in the design. To be clear, no sane individual or group thought the bulls eye to signal the literal action of shooting someone, and everyone knows it.
Olbermann talks about Rep. Allen West speaking of not letting his opponent come out of his home. I recall, it was union thugs on the left that actually terrorized the family of a Bank of America executive, with a child at home, and prohibited them for leaving their home.
Glenn Beck regularly makes the case for non-violence on his radio and television programs.
NY Times Economist Paul Krugman, veering from his supposed area of expertise, has blamed the right as well, suggesting they create a climate of hate. As usual, Krugman is out of line and completely wrong.
For what it is worth, most reports identify the killer, reported to allegedly be Jared Loughner, to be on the left side of the political isle.
What happened in Arizona yesterday is an attack on America, our freedoms and our system of government. The fact that in our political discourse an elected official is not safe from physical harm is something that cannot be tolerated.
Perhaps most sickening regarding the tragedy in Arizona was that a beautiful 9 year old girl, Christina Green, was among those murdered. Recently elected to student council, young Christina had an interest in the political arena and was taken by a neighbor to meet Rep. Giffords. The Green family is like many families in America, with Christina and her mother being supporters of President Obama and her father on the opposite side. Christina, ironically born on September 11, 2001, hoped to attend Penn State.
Perhaps, from both sides of the isle, we can think of Christina as we seek to conduct our political differences with civil discourse and respect. Contrary to media reports, every single Tea Party event I attended did just that. It is for our children, like Christina, that we are so passionate about stopping the transformation of America.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the unspeakable tragedy. After proper travel through our legal system, I demand the perpetrator be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I hope he is executed, not after 20 years of appeals, but six weeks from Tuesday.
I do not know what has gotten into the Obama loving crowd over there, but on the heels of a scathing report on unemployment last month, comes a very troubling piece on the day of reckoning facing the states.
Decades of irresponsibility, wreckless spending, far to excessive expenditures for entitlements and the refusal to slam the door in the face of unions have led many states to a critical time for choosing.
How bad is it? Meridith Whitney, who called the housing blow up, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are among those interviewed on the subject. A must watch:
The decisions facing the states are not only the states problem, but in the era of bailout nation, likely the United States problem well sooner than you may think. Christie, who is taking on the powerful unions and winning, has New Jersey on the right path, but California, who just re-elected many of left wing moonbats who put the Golden State in peril, continues to travel down a road leading them, and likely us as California is the eighth largest economy in the world, off the cliff.
Illinois was singled out as a economic catastrophe. The comptroller of the state minced no words in describing the deadbeat status of the Land of Lincoln. Unfortunately, Abraham Lincoln is no longer around to run things in Illinois, but among those who were, and helped put this state in such a horrendous economic condition, is none other than our champion of change himself, President Barack Obama. It is quite evident Obama is using many of the same policies that put Illinois in peril, most notably the transfer of wealth through entitlements, in his effort to rescue the United States in time of severe recession. I got a news flash for you. It will be unsuccessful.
These are not revenue problems, but are spending problems.
Whitney is someone worth listening to, and she is predicting historic defaults on municipal bonds, long ranked among the most stable investments with typically low levels of risk. Not anymore! Municipal bonds, or munis, are bonds sold by states, counties, cities and other political titles other than the federal government and are most often exempt from federal taxation. Although risk does vary on these instruments, the fear of widespread default has been rarely considered.
This is the other big crisis besides housing, and the scariest part, says Whitney, is the level of complacency. Oh good! Everyone is re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic! Dump bonds if you still have them and buy commodities.
Chris Christies said the credit cards have reached their limit, and there is no money available in New Jersey. Few in Washington recognize this as the federal government continues attempts at spending us into irrevocable debt, but help may be on the way. A newly elected batch of conservative Tea Party Patriot Republicans are coming, and once things get set on track in Jersey, a true conservative leader with economic insight and some chutzpah may come in 2012 in Chris Christie.
The thunderclap last November that turned the tables on big spending politicians (Democrats) resulting in the biggest turnover of party leadership in over 50 years appears to have left many in Washington whistling by the graveyard.
On the way out, under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D:NV), who somehow got re-elected, a 1900 page omnibus spending bill has been presented, and likely will pass since many appropriators and some "moderate" Republicans are in favor along with most all those who love to needlessly spend your money (Democrats).
Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R:MN) is not happy, and neither am I. Bachmann spoke with FOX Business's Judge Andrew Napolitano:
The country is broke, and economic troubles are indeed on the way, even if those smiling faces in Washington tell you differently. For Reid and his followers to propose such an outrageous spending bill with the economic problems looming and on the heels of the loud word of the people last November, it illustrates a complete disregard for the American people and champions a new level of arrogance. John McCain (R:AZ), for the love of Pete, is threatening to filibuster! Steve Moore of the Wall Street Journal editorializes on the final insult of this 111th Congress.
This slap in the face of the electorate will simply not be tolerated. Those who are in support and vote to implement this anchor of spending, and who are in large measure complicit in bankrupting of our country, will certainly be held accountable. Democrats will not get my support anyhow, but any Republican voting for this suffocating debt stricken bill will find me campaigning vigorously against them, including endless scorching here on the blog.
It goes back to comments correctly made by Ronald Reagan: "We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much”. Last year, the Tea Party Patriots led the nation to speak loud and clear on this subject. To work off a quote by CNBC's Rick Santelli, "Washington, were you listening? Stop Spending!"
For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I hope so. Unfortunately, I fear they are actively working the Cloward & Piven strategy to crash the system and if so, the governmental structure placed in our care by our founding fathers would appear to be at extreme risk.
A note for those in Washington. We surround you, and we work tirelessly to hold you accountable. We are indeed in a time of choosing, and those attempting to endlessly spend our money are not part of the solution, which is free market capitalism, our best path to prosperity.
Recently, The New York Times Magazine ran a lengthy article on South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and as usual, Graham pontificated several incorrect opinions about his Republican party and his position in the party.
Graham takes positions most conservatives usually hate, and just when you are ready to throw him overboard, he comes out in strong support of a conservative position. In reality, however, Graham is a progressive I would toss right on out of office as he fails to understand what the principles of the Republican party are.
Here are a few instances of Lindsey Grahamnesty, as Rush Limbaugh so aptly refers to him, pontificating in error in the article.
“The problem with the Tea Party, I think it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out.” As a tea party patriot, I can tell you we do have a coherent vision for America, and that is LIMITED GOVERNMENT!
“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,” said Graham. Indeed! Climate change, or global warming, is simply a vehicle for the global transfer of wealth which Conservatives are vehemently against, including the cap and trade legislation you joined the Democrats in crafting. Furthermore, Club Gitmo is a terrific place to house the terrorists plotting to kill us.
“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.”quipped Graham. No we do not, and that is central to the problem as most of the current bunch do not adhere to the principles outlined by Reagan.
“Ronald Reagan would have a hard time getting elected as a Republican today.” In actual fact, America is searching here to yonder for a Reaganesque leader, one who respects our founding fathers and loves America and the sacrifice and history of our great nation.
Per the article, Graham has commented that Obama is "a good role model" and "an American just as much as anybody else". I certainly do not view the chain smoking Obama as a good role model and can think of no political leader of my lifetime who has shown more anti-American actions and commentary than Obama.
The Times also says his greater transgression, however, has been his willingness — even eagerness — to seek common ground with Democrats. The Democratic party, which has been hijacked by the progressives, is attempting to socialize our capitalist nation, and any progressive Republican like Lindsey Graham assisting them in this effort is an opponent of all conservatives.
The citizens of America, Reagan Democrats and conservative Republicans alike, have had quite enough of the progressives and their assault on America. As such, Graham represents the individuals the tea party patriots despise.
Hopefully,the Senator from South Carolina might have some Presidential aspirations. I would be happy to consider the potential Presidency of Jim Demint.
Enemies from within are in full scale organized assault on free market capitalists and limiting the ability of each of us to engage in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the blueprint our Founding Fathers laid out for us.
Take a few moments to think about what has been taking place. Corruption is rampant, transparency is non existent, regulation is expanding and our leaders are not even reading, or writing, legislation. It is easy to see how out of control this is. Why is every sizable legislation now a rush or emergency? The administration wants to act quickly before you recognize what is taking place and rise up in opposition. Well, they ain't seen nothing yet!
Unfortunately, the time is immediately upon us to become participatory in the fight against tyranny that is right in front of us through the use of non-violent and legal activities.
