Carson Victory Path Cut Off
Carson's run was not a defeat for him, or true Americans who recognize him and his accomplishments. Not those in his professional and personal life, which are extensive and heralded.
While his campaign had successes, there were more hiccups. But through it all, Carson exhibited a calm demeanor with class and humor.
Could someone insult me? Carson quipped during the last debate, as he found himself absent from the dialogue. Carson has several of those moments along the campaign.
This man can help America in a multitude of ways beyond the significant contributions he has already made.
If Dr. Carson is willing, it is my hope whoever wins the nomination will find a meaningful position for Dr. Carson. Not for political purposes, but to use his wonderful skills to benefit our nation.
Surgeon General? If we are going to have Health and Human Services, pick Carson to run it. The VA? I have no doubt Carson would get things right for our beloved veterans. I would not rule of VP for that matter.
Or maybe, as has been floated today, Carson could attempt to win Marco Rubio's departed senate seat here in Florida. While we have some solid candidates already in the field, as a voter in the Sunshine State, I would welcome Carson entering the race.
Carson is a great man, and although he has suspended his campaign for the GOP nomination for president, I hope Carson does not exit the political stage, as he is an individual we could all benefit greatly from having his participation and leadership.

Trimming The Bushes
The Bush family has a long legacy in politics in this nation.
Prescott Bush was a Senator from Connecticut, which heavily influenced his son, George Herbert Walker Bush, who became the 41st President of the United States after serving eight years as Vice President under President Ronald Reagan and had perhaps the most distinguished career of any modern day politician.
George H. W. Bush's son, Jeb Bush, currently running for the GOP nomination for president in 2016, was a very successful two term governor of the state of Florida. Of course, another son, George W. Bush, after a successful two terms as governor of the state of Texas, became the 43rd President of the United States.
Overall, while many disagree with differing policies of the each of the Bush's during their tenures of governance, generally speaking most citizens have a favorable opinion of each of the men and their family. I fit in that category.
As a Floridian, I though Jeb Bush performed very well as governor of my state. I have overall favorable of the presidencies of both 41 and 43, while I would not consider either among the top presidents in our history. I am not supporting Jeb in 2016 for the GOP nomination.
The Bush family usually stays above the fray of political for the most part. George W. Bush has had not one word of criticism of Barack Obama, who seemingly weekly blamed W for every problem he encountered.
But, sadly, over time, the Bush family has felt compelled to bash other republicans. Former First Lady Barbara Bush had spoke strongly of her distaste for Sarah Palin. Jeb Bush discussed how the GOP should move away from the policies of Ronald Reagan.
Unlike many, while we had areas of disagreement, we have always held George W. Bush in high regard.
Therefore, from a man of decency who has declined to comment on a president leading our nation to destruction, we were puzzled on his unprompted voiced negativity regarding Sen. Ted Cruz. Glenn Beck has a theory on this, on which we place a high degree of accuracy. On the issue in question, we strongly side with Sen. Cruz, and expansion into the area of question reveals some troubling avenues of concern, inclusive of immigration.
Although I did not really recognize it at the time, both Bush presidents can be classified as progressive, where the idea of government expansion in the lives of the citizenry, something Reagan acted against, is welcomed. In fact, given the families close relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton, it would appear they have little problem with the US traveling the same track, just think they can do a btter jog of maneuvering the levers.
It appears, given where Jeb currently stands in the race for the 2016 GOP nomination, the progressive blueprint the Bush family has embraced to political success has been discovered by GOP primary voters and appears to be being soundly discarded.
At least we can recognize that the Bush family are good people, as evidenced by the actions of George W. Bush just today, who on this Veterans Day, visited a group of veterans who were visiting his presidential library in Dallas.
God Bless all our Veterans! We all greatly appreciate your service and sacrifice!

In Honor of the Ultimate Price for Freedom
When thinking of Memorial Day, President Reagan offered appropriate commentary during his inaugural address to the citizens of The United States of America:
"As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it, now or ever. We are Americans!"
Those that gave all, paid with the ultimate sacrifice, will never be forgotten. Our deepest thanks to all for your sacrifice and we honor of Those that we miss.
A quote today presented by Dinesh D'Souza needed no accompaniment:
How inadequate our words are to convey what these men did so that we can remain safe, prosperous, and free!
Thank You and God Bless you all! #NeverForgotten

Breach of Trust
As noted in the swearing in of office for our President, he takes an oath, or affirmation, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. With Obama, this stands in contrast to his public proclamation that the Constitution is a flawed document.
Generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.--Barack Obama in 2001.
Beyond the aforementioned troublesome conflict, an integral part of government, particularly between the President and the people, is a level of trust. Seemingly governing against the will of the people and without respect for the built in checks and balances of our system, President Obama has repeatedly breached that trust.
As troubling as many of the many instances of operation outside these constraints are, the IRS scandal traveled into uncharted territory. Analyzatoin of this scandal identified findings that noted clear violations of the first and fourth amendments of our Constitution. Therefore, the appropriate call for the resignation, or impeachment, of President Obama was presented on this blog.
In recent weeks, the breach of trust between the citizenry and our President escalated to the downside, reaching an appalling level, and added a third player; our military.
As we have a bond with those of our citizens who have placed their lives in peril to protect this great country, we have always known the Veterans Administration hospitals have not operated at an appropriate level. After all, they are operated by the government.
Campaigning for president in 2008, candidate Barack Obama repeatedly hammered George W. Bush on the VA, claiming he would fix all the issues should he be elected. As President, seemingly still in full campaign mode, Obama continued to offer rhetoric on how he will lift the VA to standards to a standard we all would appreciate. He did so in a speech in Orlando in 2013.
For those failing to get a participatory trophy in the arena of following politics, allegations of criminal mistreatment of our veterans at VA hospitals have emerged. Upon learning about these allegations on the news, President Obama vowed to get the facts an take appropriate action.
The widening scandal centers on Veterans Administration Hospitals placing Veterans in need of care on secret list, falsifying appointment records, allowing administrators to receive bonuses while making the agency appear to be functioning adequately. Veterans, among our finest treasure, died while on hold on the secret list.
Veterans DIED!
The list of hospitals engaged in this action is ballooning to a staggering number. No longer allegations and a matter of reality, the findings in this wide ranging scandal are appalling, criminal and a dereliction of duty by all those in position to oversee this agency.
With public outrage escalating, President Obama accepted with regret the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki. Regret? Even MSNBC noted that "finding a scapegoat to blame is a very poor substitute for fixing the problem." The FBI is investigating what was transpiring under the leadership of these men, and with any luck, a condo in the graybar hotel may be in their future.
We are not going to get in the weeds discussing the various levels of despicable behavior, mismanagement and criminal activity associated with the various hospitals. However, we will note the following:
* This is an example of government run health care, and obviously, the results are beyond poor and literally life threatening. Had this been on display for public perusal when Obamacare was being pushed, public support would have crumbled. Perhaps this scandal will open some eyeballs of the low information crowd currently drowning in a culture of irrelevance.
* While you are outraged, President Obama is not. Obama, in conjunction with noting his disdain for our military, sees the deaths of aging people, who are no longer productive in society, inclusive of veterans, a win on the funding ledger. This is part of the Complete Lives System, a directional plan headed by Ezekiel Emanuel, which does include those death panels Sarah Palin warned you about.
* If the administration really was concerned about the care of our Veterans, they would have immediately opened up care for Veterans in need to any hospital under Obamacare. No wait, come get the care we promised you and that you deserve. It has not happened.
* The actions of the VA administrators, which have resulted in deaths of our Veterans, represents criminal activity and those responsible must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Given the cloud level arrogance of our President, who is bent on transforming our country to his desire, we recognize he would never put the country first (ironically the slogan for the McCain-Palin 2008 campaign) and resign office. As such, we have previously called for his impeachment.
The legal case is solid on a handful of issues, but the IRS scandal would be the avenue to pursue.
Until now.
Our country cannot let stand the abysmal treatment of our beloved Veterans by this administration.
Given this was a campaign cause for the candidacy of Obama and recounted in speeches as President as recently as last year, the dereliction of duty in this matter is so grave the integrity of those in leadership can longer be accepted.
Beyond failure to faithfully execute the mission statement of the agency, a irrevocable breach of trust has occurred. While the breach of trust between this lawless administration and the citizenry is quite regretful, the breach of trust with our beloved Veterans is unacceptable.
Those engaged in cultivating this problem should not be candidates to solve the problem, and a monumental one it is. Our current leadership has lost all integrity and can no longer be trusted to serve in the best interest of The United States of America.
Therefore, once again, we call for the immediate impeachment of President Barack Obama.

Squeeze The Songbirds
We are approaching the Memorial Day weekend, where most Americans, at least those who remain gainfully employed, will enjoy a three day weekend with family and friends.
A sadly decreasing amount will take time to remember our fallen heroes, who have paved the way for the freedoms our nation currently enjoys. Although our thoughts and prayers are unable to pay adequate respect to these brave souls, they are offered with heartfelt gratitude.
While we have have tens of thousands in service, perhaps in harms way and away from their families and loved ones on this holiday weekend, one US Marine on this day finds himself in a unexpectedly dangerous plight. He is currently being held captive in a Mexican prison, essentially for trespassing and in possession of legal firearms.
Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who was in San Diego for PTSD treatment, made a wrong turn at the border after dining out with friends and found himself in Mexico, where he sought assistance from the Mexican authorities. Greta Van Susteren has more, including how easy it would have been for a wrong turn to be made at night at the border.
Sgt. Tahmooressi, who served two combat tours in Afghanistan, has now been imprisoned for over 50 days and now fears for his life. In a point of clarification, jails in Mexico make our jails look like an afternoon dining at Taco Bell.
Given the high level of disdain of our military by the Obama administration, I know you would be shocked to learn that there has been no attempt by the administration to reach out to Mexican authorities to rectify the situation.
We will save the disgusting issues surrounding the Veterans Administration for a later post (boy howdy am I torqued), but Obama could use some goodwill in this arena, and obtaining freedom for Sgt. Tahmooressi would seemingly be an easy way to accomplish that. Imagine the photo op!
Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, visited with Mexican authorities today, perhaps championing some global climate change nonsense, but there was no hint of the subject of Sgt. Tahmooressi having been engaged.
Some are working to secure the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi, most notably Rep Duncan Hunter of California. As reported by Investors Business Daily, Hunter, R-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, has asked Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel to suspend military aid to Mexico, including training, intelligence cooperation and equipment transfers until Tahmooressi is released, a plea that has fallen on deaf ears.
"You have the authority to suspend cooperation with the Mexican military in a number of areas," said Hunter, who served two tours as a member of the Marine Corps in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. "In light of the Mexican government's incarceration of Andrew, I urge you to immediately consider suspending training and equipment assistance to Mexico until Andrew's case is resolved."
What legitimate reason could our President have for not sternly asking for the cooperation of the Mexican authorities in this matter? After all, Mexicans are illegally entering our country, by the hundreds, on a daily basis, usually in possession of illegal narcotics. Should they fail to cooperate, the United States has a myriad of punitive and persuasive actions that could be taken, as their actons have grown quite tiresome.
I think Obama, due to Fast & Furious, is not pressing the issue with Mexican authorities, who might start singing like a songbird if the squeeze is placed on them. You see, in one of the scandals the Democrats think is a political attack, it appears the Obama administration illegal gun-running operation which sold major weaponry to powerful Mexican drug cartels in a backdoor effort to attack the second amendment.
With the help of the communications arm of the administration, otherwise known as the mainstream media, the administration has done a decent job of covering up that impeachable action, and it would certainly be a shame for Mexican authorities to mess that all up now.
The actions of this President with respect to our military is disgusting, and it can no longer be tolerated. Any and all legally permissible action must be taken, and while I doubt it will do any good, I will be placing a call to the offices of each of my Senate representation, Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, in an effort to get our American hero, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, home.
I hope you will join me. It is something we all could, and should do, as we enjoy the Memorial Day weekend. If we move fast, maybe Sgt. Tahmooressi can home in time to give the command to start engines Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR's running of the Coca-Cola 600.
We would honored.

Living Lies
Without question, the average household in America, at least those that are employed, are working harder and longer to provide the same standard of living of their household from just a decade ago.
As such, even with expanding outlets, finding time to access the news of the day is tough. For the average individual who is not well schooled on political maneuvering, the degree of difficulty of deciphering the real story is almost impossible.
Therefore, with the mainstream media continuously misrepresenting the facts, the regular working folks have absolutely no idea the level of corruption and deceit of the Obama administration.
In short, the lie to the American public on a daily basis.
Isn't funny that Obama sometimes knows about local events and stories that support his progressive agenda but finds out about the devastating effects of his presidency on the evening news? Scandals involving Fast and Furious, The IRS and now the Veterans Administration; found out by the same news reports you and I did.
You think I kid you:
With the country 18 trillion dollars in debt, it is obvious Obama does not require an advisory staff of thousands to give him information of the goings on if he is gaining this knowledge from The CBS Evening News, which, sadly, is nothing more than an extension of his communications department.
While the low information crowd may think President Obama is simply disengaged, the reality is quite the contrary. Obama knows exactly what is going on, no doubt orchestrating much of it, and does not "find things out" from the news, like the folks.
From the Cloward and Piven Strategy of crashing our economic system through overload to implementation of the theories of Saul Alinsky, among those, pushing falsities with such repetition they break to the counterside, then are considered true or no longer relevant.
Obama is operating a masterful campaign of deception on the citizenry, transforming this once great nation into a big government collective, but time may be running out for him. While I continue to be puzzled that Obama was able to win a second term, it certainly seems the lengthy scandal train has picked up enough of the citizenry that the trust the people have placed in him has been severely damaged.
The Obama lies, plentiful and historic, in which many politicians from both sides have enabled, have placed our nation in great peril. The appearances of an awakening citizenry would be welcomed with great enthusiasm, as time is short in effort to protect Uncle Sam from enemies, foreign and domestic, who seek our demise.
The enemies referenced above would include those who are against our Constitution and seek the transformation of The United States of America.

Saluting Our Veterans
The following is a commercial advertisement for Food City, a grocery chain company I am familiar with due to their relationships with and high level of sponsorship of NASCAR. As the ad states, the company celebrates freedom and those who provide it.
While the advertisement was produced to commemorate the Fourth of July, I find it symbolic today on Veterans Day, as we honor those individuals and families who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Thank you all for your service, and we certainly leave a bar stool open for those who could not be with us today. God Bless You All.

Victims We Know So Well
For many, the behavior of President Obama in recent weeks during the partial government shutdown has been an eye opener. Seemingly in consult with advisor Valerie Jarrett, who vowed to punish enemies; petulant, spiteful, vindictive and punitive action by President Obama spread from his political opponents to affect factions of the entire citizenry. Most took notice, and few were impressed.
Particularly noteworthy to many was not the closing of the national parks, but the spiteful behavior exhibited toward our veterans. As despicable as it was for our President to deny military families death benefits and thwart our veterans aiming to visit the WWII Memorial, it was a stick in the eye to gleefully open the National Mall for an immigration rally with paid protesters to advocate for an open borders immigration policy.
While this behavior was simply stunning to many, for those of us who know who Barack Obama is, it came as no surprise. The mainstream media has been running cover since his election campaign began in 2008, and as such, Americans working harder by the day to provide for their families, perhaps got their first glimpse of the character, or lack thereof, of our Commander in Chief.
Dinesh D'Souza, with his work on Obama, most notably in his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage", has been informing the public for years the basis of the mindset President Obama operates from.
"What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage—an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anticolonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads. It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and that gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead."
The summarization of the points made by D'Souza was in part enhanced this morning on FOX & Friends, when host host Steve Doocy interviewed Dr. Keith Ablow. In analyzing the behavior and rhetoric recently employed by President Obama, Ablow came to some rather concerning conclusions. Take a listen:
The analysis of Dr. Ablow regarding President Obama is extremely accurate. Behind the mask, Obama inside feels he was victimized as a youth, that minorities and the poor in this country have been penalized by those who have achieved wealth and prosperity, and he aims to right these perceived wrongs. This is also true in his feelings about America; her history and prosperity, which he deems fraudulent.
Policies enacted by Obama have been of significant benefit to those who consider themselves victims, and the administration has encouraged many to become victims. The exponential expansion of unemployment and disability benefits are prime examples.
These actions are in stark contrast to the tenants of individual freedom and personal responsibility outlined among our founding principles. The President is disempowering the citizenry, transforming wealth from those Obama has deemed have to victimized others to obtain to those who were supposedly victimized along the way.
These are the victims he knows so well. Now you know him.
Particularly noteworthy to many was not the closing of the national parks, but the spiteful behavior exhibited toward our veterans. As despicable as it was for our President to deny military families death benefits and thwart our veterans aiming to visit the WWII Memorial, it was a stick in the eye to gleefully open the National Mall for an immigration rally with paid protesters to advocate for an open borders immigration policy.
While this behavior was simply stunning to many, for those of us who know who Barack Obama is, it came as no surprise. The mainstream media has been running cover since his election campaign began in 2008, and as such, Americans working harder by the day to provide for their families, perhaps got their first glimpse of the character, or lack thereof, of our Commander in Chief.
Dinesh D'Souza, with his work on Obama, most notably in his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage", has been informing the public for years the basis of the mindset President Obama operates from.
"What really motivates Barack Obama is an inherited rage—an often masked, but profound rage that comes from his African father; an anticolonialist rage against Western dominance, and most especially against the wealth and power of the very nation Barack Obama now leads. It is this rage that explains the previously inexplicable, and that gives us a startling look at what might lie ahead."
The summarization of the points made by D'Souza was in part enhanced this morning on FOX & Friends, when host host Steve Doocy interviewed Dr. Keith Ablow. In analyzing the behavior and rhetoric recently employed by President Obama, Ablow came to some rather concerning conclusions. Take a listen:

Fear Ratchets Up Nastiness
It is really getting nasty.
Those fighting for freedom are getting blasted from the progressives within both parties who in their arrogance seek to gain further control of the citizenry through expanding government.
Add FOX News Anchor Arthel Neville to the list of ill informed imbeciles who distort the facts and employ condescending ridicule to confuse the audience in effort to control the dialogue on important issues. Get a listen to the hit job on Texas GOP Congressman Louie Gohmert.
WOW! This was on FOX News Channel, if you noticed.
In some background, Senator Claire McCaskill, D:MO, recently accused Gohmert and others for grandstanding at the US WWII Memorial and of playing politics on the backs of veterans. FOX News interviewed Gohmert, placing a crawler beneath labeling him as having to respond to the allegations he was playing politics with veterans, as if he had been deemed guilty.
Never mind that is actually President Obama, despicably so, that is the orchestrator of using the veterans, who his actions dictate a loathing of, in political games. I missed the interviews with administration members calling them out for their unacceptable and anti-American behavior.
Rep. Gohmert is definitely on the progressive hit list, but it was a bit unsettling to see him attacked in such a juvenile manner on FOX News. The viewership appropriately filled out the scorecard, and we took notice.
I find it quite puzzling that those in the media continue to hammer Rep. Gohmert, Sen. Cruz, R:TX, and Sen. Lee, R:UT, for fighting against for freedom when it is President Obama and his administration that are at fault for placing the country in economic peril.
Arthel Neville demanded honest talk from Gohmert, but she skirted the truth repeatedly in effort to win points assumably for her progressive allies, which she failed miserably at doing. Please see the following points:
*Neville correctly points out public polling scores the Congress with historic lows, but fails to note that President Obama has an all time low in his approval rating as well.
* Neville is worried the "brand" of the GOP is being harmed, seemingly for not adhering to the demands of President Obama and joining forces to end the standoff. Sadly, the GOP has compromised; over and over again. President Obama and Sen. Reid, D:NV, are the ones who has stated triumphantly he will not negotiate. Since the House are the appropriators, this places Obama in a rather tight spot.
*Neville suggested the low polling was due to GOP members not doing the Chris Christie waltz with Obama. But the GOP brand has been harmed due to party leaders not standing on the founding principles of the party, joining progressive big government counterparts in aiding the decline of prosperity here in America. Those are the GOP members who will feel the wrath at the ballot box.
*Neville demands a clear resolution, failing to note the Senate had not produced a budget and that Obama has presented budgets that have not received one, not one, vote. The only clear bill would be the GOP "caving" to the demands of President Obama, which is total capitulation, an idea that would no doubt warm the heart of Ms. Neville but would in contrast to the conservative base of the GOP, of which I am a member.
The bottom line is that those in power will stop at no effort to retain it, and as evidenced by them ratcheting up the fight at every turn, from the media attacks and wreckless rhetoric of elected officials aiming to discredit and ridicule opponents to the escalated and illegal efforts in controlling citizen behavior, it can be noted their level of fear of those who aim to limit their power has them alarmed.
Fearful of losing, nudge moves to shove, which increases the opportunity for civil unrest, an event they are hoping for. As it continues to get nasty, we must continue to act in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. Let them show their faces from behind the mask, and the public will see those who seek to limit freedom of and embark on tyranny on we the people.
We hold the winning hand in the end.

No Toleration For Politicizing Veterans
Per The Right Scoop,
Mark Levin warned everyone on Capitol Hill that if they lay a hand on the WWII vets at the memorial to arrest them for visiting their own memorial, he’ll bring a half a million people to march on Washington. He says it will ignite a movement like they’ve never seen before:
I want to say this loud and clear to the people on Capitol Hill who are listening, to this administration. You lay one damn hand on one of those World War II vets at that memorial and I’ll bring half a million people to that damn memorial! You got that?!
I’m sitting here stewing thinking about this – playing these damn games? You’ll ignite a movement in this country like you’ve never seen before! The biker patriot army – veterans from all over the country, every single war and battle in this country, Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever!
I’ll be damned if one president, with his feet up on the desk in the oval office, with a smirk on his face, looking at his golf card…I’ll be damned if this president or anybody else is going to shut down that WWII memorial. Period! These men are in their 80s and 90s.
So let me repeat! You lay one hand on one of those men and arrest them for going to their memorial, which they fought for, which was not paid by you dammit, it was paid by the American people – we will come out of every town and city in this nation! We will come out of every county. And both coasts! Both borders! And we will march on Washington against your tyranny!
You’ve been warned!
The Great One, Mark Levin, is right on target.
President Obama clearly thinks he in his arrogance is above the law and is not governed by the Constitution, and what is taking place regarding the WWII Memorial is beyond appalling and extremely offensive.
The members of the WWII generation, many of whom are flown via Honor Flight to Washington to see the Memorial honoring them are absolutely our finest and bravest, men who fought so valiantly to protect the freedoms most of us hold so dear. We can never repay the debt we owe them.
Local radio talk show host Bud Hedinger, scheduled to participate in an Honor Flight from Central Florida later this month on October 19, is fit to be tied.
In the spirit of Martin Luther King and his pledge for non violence, I will join Mark Levin in Washington if necessary, as I will not stand by and allow our WWII veterans to be treated in this fashion by the tyrannical dictator in arrogance we have sadly elected.
