Media Manipulates Frenzied Left

Here's The REAL Reason The White House Barred That CNN Reporter

Brilliantly Opined

Charles Krauthammer was a brilliant thinker, who was always principled in his work, allowing him to carry unchallenged integrity.

This was a remarkable man, whose spirit and kindness presents an arena of inspiration for us all.

Chris Wallace of FOX News was spot on in describing Krauthammer: "Most of us are lucky if we think in phrases. A few of us are good enough to think in sentences. Charles thought in paragraphs or even in pages."

Added Fox Business' Dagen McDowell said "Words fail to capture a man who was so brilliant with them."

We will certainly miss Krauthammer, with his intellect and wit, opining on the issues of the day.

Evidence Be Damned

Evidence of the ever changing narrative of leftists and their partners in the news media. Once Trump won, this narrative flipped at break neck velocity.

Media Deception

The days of the mainstream media being the fourth estate, serving as a force helping the citizenry keep a level of checks and balances of the political establishment officially was buried some years past.

Dishonesty, manipulation and deception by this once proud and prestigious institution is at staggering levels, leaving one to contemplate labeling their behavior treasonous.

Michael Ramirez, formerly of Investors Business Daily, in his brilliance, eloquently points this out.

Park Net Neutrality

In the aftermath of the wave election last Tuesday, in which the Obama policies, each and every one of them, were soundly rejected, we enter a very dangerous time over the next two years as Obama finishes out his term, and possibly America as we know it.

However, the period prior to the GOP taking over the Senate in January is of particular concern as Obama will aim to get through all his progressive policies while he can, either through legislation, appointment or executive action.

President Obama will not waste any time, as evidenced by his endorsement of legislation of the Internet, often referred to as Net Neutrality.  Obama said "an open Internet is essential to the American economy, and increasingly to our very way of life."

USA Today reports In a written statement, Obama asked the Federal Communications Commission to "create a new set of rules protecting net neutrality," and to ensure that phone and cable companies will not be able "to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online."

The Internet is now perhaps the most significant avenue for freedom of speech the world has ever seen, and free from intervention of those who carry an agenda.

Obama wants to make the Internet a sort of utility, that is government regulated and taxed, similar to your phone or power service.  I am a big fan of those taxes on my phone, aren't you?

But as with the left, the issue is never the issue.

And the issue behind Net Neutrality is to control speech it deems unworthy, or those of political opponents. If you think that cannot happen, please get to know Obama's Diversity Czar, who has some thoughts on communication and democracy in America.  Here are some highlights from one or our previous posts:

Mark Lloyd

We need to take a moment to learn more about an early appointee by President Obama, Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd.  Investors Business Daily, in an editorial in August of 2009, accurately depicted Lloyd as a disciple of Saul Alinsky and a great admirer of Hugo Chavez, who silenced freedom of speech as a dictator in Venezuela.  SOS Venezuela!

IBD references Glenn Beck, who points out Lloyd, in his 2006 book, "Prologue to a Farce: Communication and Democracy in America," wrote: "It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. ... This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. ... At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies."

Alarmed yet? With Lloyd unleashed to implement his ideas, we would have the Fairness Doctrine on steroids.

David Horowitz, over at his Discover the Networks website, noted the following regarding Lloyd:
 

*Seeks to use "diversity" and "localism" as pretexts for shifting the political balance of talk-radio programming leftward.
*Suggests that private broadcasters should pay an annual licensing fee in an amount equivalent to their total yearly operating costs; that money, in turn, should be redistributed to public broadcasting stations.
*Opposes virtually any private ownership of media.
*Disciple of Saul Alinsky's tactics for revolutionary social change.
*Greatly admires Venezuela's Marxist President, Hugo Chavez.

So, we can conclude that, with respect to media operations, Lloyd much prefers governmental control of media outlets, vehemently opposing media outlets operating in the private sector. And much like his mentor Hugo Chavez, Lloyd thinks the government should determine what can be voiced or written on the said media outlets.

Lloyd is no longer with the Obama administration, but his influence, associations and philosophical doctrines remain, poised for implementation.  As Sen. Ted Cruz (R:TX) appropriately notes, Net Neutrality is "Obamacare for the Internet".

As The Blaze and many other outlets reported today, the Obama administration hid from the stupid public the real aspects of Obamacare to get it passed, and they are doing the same thing with Net Neutrality.

It is time for the stupid public to get smart; quickly.  Be advised that if Net Neutrality is implemented, you will not only potentially lose your voice and the opportunity to hear other voices, but a large amount of your freedom of speech, something once upon a time we fought to the death to preserve.

The Joke Is On US

On an evening a couple of weeks back, President Obama spoke to nation regarding the terrorist group ISIS running roughshod over most of Iraq from their apparent bases in Syria. ISIS is a major concern to most knowledgeable Americans, and the speech by Obama was of keen interest.

You might think this would be a tough speech for Obama, who although vehemently opposed to US military interaction, faces few if any alternatives than to use our armed forces to stop this legitimate threat to peace across the globe.  In addition, it has been Obama who has arrogantly informed us that he kept his promise by leaving Iraq and decimating al Qaeda.

Yes, I am aware ISIS is a direct offshoot of al Qaeda, the group the administration boasted about dismantling.  Like most everything else from the White House; nothing but propaganda.

Speaking of that, the speech opened up, not with commentary on the rising threat of evil we are facing, but a couple of minutes on how his policies has strengthened our economy, created more jobs than any recent administration and expanded opportunities for working class families. A complete fabrication of the truth.

If that was not insulting enough, Obama delivered a few moments of commentary in his routine condescending manner that Islam is not in any way a root of this problem, rather a peaceful religion we as Americans should embrace as part of our national fabric.  I wish I were joking.

Actually, the joke is on us.

Obama has had it wrong from the get go, and if as James Madison told us, Americans were armed with knowledge, this transformative dovish narcissistic neophyte would have never been elected once, much less, twice.

The US interaction with Iraq, both times, was regrettably the correct course of action.  Under the surge, we gained victory in Iraq and gave their people a shot at establishing a sovereign nation of freedom.  They needed continued support, but under Obama, after telegraphing a timetable, he directed our premature departure, snatching defeat from victory.

Without the presence of the US in the region, the opportunity for al Qaeda to resurface was presented.

The actions taking place in the region were predictable, and President Bush informed the nation what we would be in store for if we departed the region prematurely.  Take a listen:


Bush was ridiculed (that Alinsky technique is omnipresent is it not ) relentlessly, but he was absolutely correct.  You just heard the evidence.

Come to think of it, looking back at the scorecard, although the media delivers propaganda to the contrary, Obama fails miserably to GOP leaders on the issue of foreign policy.  Here are three significant examples.

The laughing stock of all progressive land, it turns out Sarah Palin accurately predicted that Obama would implement policies which would project weakness and create an environment in which Russia would consider invading the Ukraine.  Bingo.

Way prior to the current activities surrounding ISIS, the US Military has suffered more deaths in Afghanistan under Obama than under George Bush. There is no daily count on CNN, and Cindy Sheehan is not protesting at various gold communities across the fruited plain, but those facts continue to be stubborn.

During the last presidential campaign, VP Joe Biden tried to scare everybody that if Romney was elected, he would bomb Syria, something Obama would never do.  Until now.

Also during the last presidential campaign, Obama failed to identify Russia as an enemy, degrading Mitt Romney, who said Russia was "without question our number one geopolitical foe" by saying the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back.  Idiot at large, that Obama.

This all would be a Saturday Night Live skit if these issues were not deadly serious, pun intended. If Obama continues to play games and does not get serious about the increasing evils we face, sooner than later, our way of life will be threatened.

I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur,  you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.

Salvation of the State

 

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives." --James Madison, 1822

The world is on fire; without question.  The list of items headlining media outlets of truth are mind boggling to be sure.  Among the long very long list of worrisome items for the citizenry to absorb are the following:

* The US National Debt grew more than a trillion dollars last year, and is now at approximately 18 trillion.  This is just the number released by the government, with the actual number far exceeding this amount. The debt could never be repaid without extensive monetary operations, which cannot be effectively engaged upon with the horrendous economy we currently have.  Monetizing the debt, currently underway, is only postponing the real pain.

* The economic woes in China are deepening, with the government initiating a "stealth QE" to combat a liquidity crisis.  If you think their woes would not have an affect on our economy, you are mistaken.

* The number of Americans on food stamps has eclipsed 46 million, which is approximately 15% of the total population.  There are long term issues resulting from potential workers remaining out of the workforce, on the public dole, for an extended period of time if one seeks a fully employed population.

* The unemployment rate is reported to be decreasing, signaling good economic conditions.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The administration changed the calculations on how the number is figured for starters, and have been counting part time workers within the number.  The real unemployment rate is in the low teens, and has been for several years, the longest such period of grief since The Great Depression.

* The Russian Bear is growling, with Russia flexing muscle by invading sovereign nations, causing a major disturbance in the Ukraine and creating plenty of economic concerns involving our dollar as we try to implement sanctions on them. Of course, there is no plan or policy formatted to deal with the issue, so we are forced to react to the hand Vladimir Putin deals us.  Some reset?

* A Malasyian Boeing jetliner which vanished from the sky in March remains unaccounted for, and nobody seems to care.  The media has moved on, and so have the public.

*The southern border remains wide open by design, with the Obama administration orchestrating the rush of tens of thousands of folks, inclusive of children, to enter the country through the border. An effort to share the wealth and create large numbers of citizens dependent on governmental assistance, this action was essentially an immigration reform bill which bypassed a vote in Congress.  Nice trick by the progressives without the knowledge of the majority of voters, except among those lovely children entering the US through the southern border were untold numbers of terrorists, who may have been trafficking various forms of lethal weaponry.

James Madison was quite correct.  Bureaucrats in Washington, some who are adverse to the principles which were central to the founders, are governing, and transforming, America right under the nose of those among the citizenry who Aldous Huxley noted would be drunk on a sea of irrelevance.  If in doubt, please the following segment from "The O'Reilly Factor", where correspondent Jesse Watters invites college students to enter his, or our, world.

America is in real trouble.  Remember those famous words from the inaugural address by President John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?"  There is a responsibility that comes with being a citizen of this great country, and it requires more than keeping up to date with pop culture, obtaining any and every entitlement available and adopting nihilism as a philosophical doctrine.

 

As Madison accurately noted, our citizenry must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives, to help ensure the future not only for ourselves, but our children and grandchildren.  After all, as the inscription above the main entrance to Nebraska's beautiful State Capitol reads: "The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen."

Media Snapshot

Rush Limbaugh very accurately points out that there is no real news media.

 

Talking points are derived by the powers that be, distributed to participatory media outlets which include ABC, CBS, and NBC.  They are then presented to the public in cohesive fashion.

 

For those interesting in testing this theory, compilations of key words from the participatory media outlets have been put together, and while entertaining, the reality of the failure of the media to be objective is no laughing matter.

 

Without question, the mainstream media is completely in the tank for President Obama, and in not pursuing him with relevant questions on issued of constitutional and national security violations, they are deemed criminally complicit.

 

In recent years, beauty pageants, of all things, have brought glaring example of this theory, cementing its authenticity.

 

Sunday night,  Ian Ziering, an actor from Beverly Hills 90210, asked Miss Louisiana whether the government was right to release five Guantanamo Bay prisoners in exchange for American POW Bowe Bergdahl.  Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez, who went on to win Miss USA, was asked about about the high rate of sexual assaults on college campuses.  The fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do demonstrated Tae (strength of mind) and scored big points with her answer.

 

If only President Obama would get questions he did not see previously that asked appropriate questions the citizenry would like to know.

 

Dennis Miller agrees.

 

 

An Avenue For Prosperity For All

America is being taken down from within.  Quickly, and by design.

One the tools being utilized by those in power to accomplish this feat is by pitting groups, classes and races of our citizenry against one another.  With the help of the ministry of propaganda, the mainstream media, the efforts have been most successful.

Race has been a particularly useful tool by the Obama administration, from the cops acting stupidly in Boston to failing to prosecute voter intimidation in Philadelphia. 

Individuals who question the policies of Obama are considered racist. Groups who offer opposition are labeled terrorists. Vice President Joe Biden called Tea Party Members terrorists, and many of the low information voters lack the necessary acumen to decipher how incorrect this is. If you think these were actions of the past, just yesterday college republicans were turned away after attempting to attend a speech by President Obama at the University of Central Missouri.  They were prevented from attending "for the presidents protection".

There are many other examples, but a shooting in Sanford, Florida provided the optimal platform for those in power to stoke the fires. Even though this event involved a Hispanic and a black, seemingly at the direction of the administration, the media, with particular help from NBC, the case morphed into a major race dividing case.

With local news boiling over in the immediate aftermath of the, I drew some conclusions based upon the information I had gathered.  As the case has settled, with George Zimmerman having been found not guilty by a jury of his peers, after hearing the evidence, I note that some of my initial thoughts were off the mark.

Evidence to suggest Zimmerman was in any way a racist was completely absent.  In fact, evidence suggests the contrary, most specifically noted by media reports that he mentored a couple of young black children.  Also, evidence says Zimmerman did attempt to go back to his vehicle after being directed by the 911 operator, but was met and subsequently attacked by Trayvon Martin. We have learned Martin was a young man traveling down the wrong path having made several recent mistakes in judgement. The state overcharged he case, and based on the evidence, the only verdict that could be reached was innocent as charged.

It is noted that both parties could have prevented the event from happening, but tragically, that did not happen.

Although the state of Florida did not bring the Stand Your Ground Law into the case, leftist progressives have seized the opportunity to rail against the law and are seeking to have it eliminated. I am sure they are unaware the Obama, while in the Illinois state Senate, co-sponsored a bill to strengthen the law in Illinois. Hypocrite?

With the usual race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson leading the way, the case has driven a wedge in between normally sensible folks.  Rather than recognizing an individual is legally entitled to protect themselves from being mortally wounded, since Martin was black, the law seems to be readily discarded.  It seems, as Pastor Ken Hutcherson says, many blacks have put their blackness ahead of everything, including God.  This is not healthy.

President Obama, who self proclaims himself as in company with our great presidents, had a once in a lifetime opportunity to be Lincolnite and use his position to strongly enhance race relations, with malice toward none and charity to all.  No such luck.

Obama has been divisive, attacking religion and tradition and encouraging entitlements, which tramples the incentive and spirit of many a man.  In fact, a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal submit that race relations have plummeted since Obama took office.

Obama is crushing the economy through his policies, and the unemployment levels among young black men are at historical highs. Without the economic means to improve their lives, many young men in the inner cites have had their opportunities greatly diminished.  Obama also cut significantly the voucher program, virtually eliminating another important vehicle for youngsters to better their educational opportunities.

In Obama's hometown of Chicago, black on black murders of young men is at a tragic and embarrassing rate. Although the bankruptcy of Detroit had been coming at us for quite some time, many of the problems that led to the demise of the Motor City center around the problems associated in the inner city black community. The demise of the traditional family in these communities is beyond alarming, and a central factor in the problems.

Obama has done nothing to assist the situation.  In fact, in attacking the churches, many of which operate schools, vehicles of escape such as education outside the public school system and spiritual opportunities in the inner cities, have been greatly diminished.

Bill O'Reilly has had enough, and blasted all those in charge in a tremendous "Talking Points".



The problems in the inner cities, particularly in the black community, are seemingly out of control.  Race relations are weakening among many, with Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder encouraging the negative discourse.  Obama has wasted a golden opportunity, and unlike Lincoln, finds malice with many and exhibits charity toward elites only.

I do not have the answers to these problems. I think economic enterprise zones as championed by the late Jack Kemp could be helpful given crime can be controlled.  Those in these communities could learn plenty and set solid foundations by embracing faith, reading the writings of Frederick Douglass and implementing the non-violent leadership by example, with respect of the law exhibiting class and dignity of someone they all claim to admire; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

If America could get this corrected and headed in the right directions, imagine the prosperity for all.

Road Closed

Last week, an important victory for freedom loving Americans was recorded.

Certainly, given the majority of the mainstream media has fallen to nothing short of a propaganda arm for the Obama administration, few are likely aware of a significant win of a central tenant to the founding of this nation; private property rights.

A slow creep against property rights, perhaps from back as far as ideas expressed by Stuart Chase in "The Road We Are Traveling", hit a major road block as The Supreme Court ruled in favor for the good guys in a property rights case from Orange County, Florida, which is the greater Orlando market.

We chronicled the case in a blog post earlier this year, noting the results of the case, defended by The Pacific Legal Foundation, would have significant ramifications.

The Pacific Legal Foundation gives an overview of this meaningful victory and its relation to the rights of private property owners across the fruited plain. Take a listen:



Through excessive taxation and regulation, including environmental fees, the government, while not wishing to own your property outright, increasingly controls what you can do with your property with respect to improvements. 

A recent study by the American Legislative Exchange Council reported that that the EPA has imposed “at least $13 billion in annual regulatory costs” through the “sue-and-settle” method.  As reported by The Washington Times, That approach involves environmental groups suing the EPA  for failing to meet deadlines for actions related to the Clean Air or Clean Water act, and the agency negotiating settlements on how to address the issues. The technique effectively removes states and other stakeholders from any involvement in federal environmental policy.

As we noted in a previous essay, if an ever increasing oppressive government, who already has tremendous power through code enforcement and the permitting process, can shakedown owners seeking permits to develop their owned property through imposing arbitrary fees, penalties and or taxes as a condition of obtaining permits is an extension of extraction that is unethical and unconstitutional.

A violation of the Constitution indeed!

Sadly, however, the rule of law is not always enough.  Recently, the EPA, bypassing legislation by Congress relying on executive orders, has implemented plans to increase the already unprecedented power of the scandalous agency.

While the greater majority of these actions are presented as needed effort to limit man made damage to Global Climate Change, the reality is it is a vehicle for the transfer of wealth and control over the citizenry, with particular emphasis on energy and envormnental protection, both of which affect property owners.  These are tenants involved in Agenda 21, as we previously noted.

In his writings, Stuart Chase never engaged global warming, but did discuss transforming the free enterprise system into something referred to as "X", joining the Fabian socialists into molding a society to their hearts content in the aftermath of a collapsed free market economy Cloward and Piven style.

The decision in favor of limiting the tentacles of an oppressive government from encroaching upon private property rights places a significant road block on the road the progressives are traveling.  That, of course, assumes the rule of law if adhered to, which sadly is a reach these days.

We will take any victory we can, and thanks to the strong work of The Pacific Legal Foundation, we have reason to celebrate.  Oppressionists never sleep, so tomorrow is another day.

Audacity of Abuse

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

By the way; into what?

Shine Out The Darkness of Evil

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kimberly Guilfoyle

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Caller ID

It is time for true leadership, contrary to what we currently have.

Look no further than the natural disaster of Hurricane Sandy. With his leadership qualities being appropriately questioned, President Obama promptly sought any and every opportunity to visit the affected areas and engage in the tasks we commonly expect from our President. It was the proper action, although we could been spared him interjecting his campaign slogan "Lean Forward" into official statements while his surrogates were ridiculing Mitt Romney for utilizing previously scheduled campaign events as opportunities to collect food and clothing in an effort to help those in need.

The timing is right for Obama, who was praised today by GOP fire breather New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for his prompt and non wavering assistance, to look presidential, which he does well.  For Obama, he can focus on overseeing the already plotted avenues of federal aid, rather than answer burning questions about the events in Benghazi.  And without question, the media will oblige him

For the President to act in a politically expedient fashion during times of natural disaster is truly sad, but actions in this regard with those charged with representing the United States either in military or civilian service, as we recently witnessed in Benghazi, is beyond dishonorable.

Womens United PAC, and most of America, has had enough.




We need a President who answers the call all the damn time, not when it is politically advantageous. It is far time for principled, honorable leadership in Washington.

Elect Mitt Romney!

In Plain Sight

The Gaffmaster, Vice President Joe Biden, is really struggling for friction out on the campaign trail. Recently, his rhetoric has been so far off the mark, Sarah Palin thought he might should be replaced on the ticket with Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani thought he might not have the mental capacity to be President God forbid he should have to. These recent gaffes even have the American Crossroads PAC out with a fresh new ad, which not withstanding the comedy, identifies a very sad situation.

There is no question Joe Biden is not among the critical thinkers of our day, surely is not well read and seems to lack intellectual curiosity, which may be a result of being a lifelong politician.  But is Biden really this idiotic, or is he using distractionary moves complicit in an often utilized Obama administration tool of creating distractions in an effort to conceal the real goings on?

Take a close listen to Biden during his "chains' remark, which set off a major firestorm:



Did you catch what I did? No, it is not that he is talking about the help needed from the crowd in Virginia to help win North Carolina.

Biden described a potential Romney administration would unchain Wall Street, allowing them to write their own rules. One could suggest that this is simply another in a long line of the misrepresentation of the facts, but for team Obama, but that would be masking the truth. After all, it is Obama and the Democrats that are ignoring the rule of law and allowing banks to engage in theft without fear of prosecution.

On the same day Biden was seemingly wrestling with reality, a report surfaced that in aftermath of financial fallout over the bankruptcy of MF Global, formal charges against CEO Jon Corzine and other MF Global executives are not expected. Corzine, the former Governor of New Jersey, Goldman Sachs CEO and high ranking Democrat bungler with strong ties to the Obama administration, is alleged to have commingled account funds with house funds and lost it all betting on European arbitrage.  In other words, he engaged in theft of customer money.

Ann Barnhardt, a former independent introducing brokerage company who shut down her cattle futures business after she deemed integrity in the futures market was lost, has long predicted Corzine would walk away scott free. She was right.

If an enforceable rule of law is not present in our capital markets, which have a major moral component, at the brokerage level, then at some point, perhaps during a crisis, no dollar is safe. It is bad enough that folks in high places like Corzine get away with this type of theft, but to have the administration, who through the likes of Solyndra and numerous examples of crony capitalism has rewarded friends and supporters with tax dollars, run off at the mouth about how it is the Republicans that allow white collar law breakers to escape the grip of the rule of law is farcical and shameful.

While the mainstream media appropriately hammers Biden on his "chains" remark,insensitive at best to our fellow black Americans, nobody seems to have caught the Obama-Biden team in a situation in which they are not simply misrepresenting the truth, but lying to your face about a enforcing the rule of law in an arena that is the center of the financial crisis our country has been languishing in.

Obviously, the Obama administration actions does not match their rhetoric, and the horrendous results that they now fully own are nothing short of abysmal. With nothing to run on or with, you might think they could at least acknowledge some level of truth, but no such luck.

Their lies are right out in front for all of the electorate to see; in plain sight.

Tea Party Alive Fighting Tyranny

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.

Out With The Bathwater

Last year, FOX Business Network ended their 5 PM show "Happy Hour", for a new show with Gerri Willis, who came over from CNN. The new show is not bad, but I find it much inferior to Happy Hour. Then again, who could compete with Glenn Beck over at FOX?

Now comes word that the entire primetime lineup at FOX Business will get the axe. Not a good move in my estimation.

Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano was a very good show. Now, it should be noted this show was in competition with The O'Reilly Factor over on FOX, the top rated cable news show by far. Freedom Watch did need some tweaking, and I was getting very tired of the Judge promoting Ron Paul for President. Overall, however, Napolitano asked intriguing questions of top guests from the political and financial world. This show will be missed, at least by me.

David Asman is very professional and at the top of his game. His current show Power and Money, which evolved from America's Nightly Scoreboard, was very good and often dove into off the mainstream topics, with Agenda 21 being an example. Hannity, over on the flagship FOX, is king of 9PM, but this show worked well and I will miss it as well.

Eric Bolling is outstanding, and his show Follow The Money, had a real chance to overtake On The Record with Greta Van Susteren over on the Flagship. FTM had the big screen here at my humble abode, but the show could have used some tweaking as well. The decisions by the FOX brass to include wacko socialists as nightly panelists on FTM, like the newly hired Sally Kohn and Jehmu Green, hurt. Nobody with a brain has any care about the opinions of these Obama apologists. Anyhow, Bolling is a star and this news is most disappointing. At least Bolling falls back to focusing on The Five over on FOX, a real hit.

Melissa Francis, who jumped off the sinking ship at CNBC to come over to FBN, is slated for a 5PM show, while Gerry Willis will move to 8PM. While Francis is talented, I hope the executives at FBM are not counting on a ratings increase, because it will not be forthcoming with these moves.









Lori Rothman and Charles Payne

If FBN, is going a different direction, they should immediately launch a financial show hosted by grossly under utilized Charles Payne, and a crossover show with the lovely Kimberly Guilfoyle. Business babes Tracy Byrnes and Lori Rothman are also under utilized, but what do I know?

I know I will miss each of these programs and do not have any excitement about the changes.

Beck Blazes Path Seeking Truth

Glenn Beck recently announced he would be leaving his ratings blazing 5PM television program on FOX News Channel, and this left fans and critics (misguided morons) to wonder what would become of Beck?

Fresh of the success of his news website The Blaze, Beck announced the formation of a new media network platform which is ahead of the curve in avenues of presentation of issues of the day, history and first principles with particular attention to a lost focus; the truth. It is GBTV.



Beck has been on target more often than not and has brought to light untold nefarious initiatives by Progressives, including the likes of Van Jones and Cass Sunstein, who are firmly entrenched in the Obama administration.

I hope you will join Glenn on this new venture, one free from political correctness standing in the fire of the truth. We surround them, and we will be the key in the fight for freedom leading this great country back to prosperity through first principles, free market capitalism and the truth.

Get a sneak peak and join up at GBTV.
