Happy Halloween Everyone
.
This is the full length film.
LOL........Considered by many to be the worst film ever made, Plan 9 from Outer Space is filled with more plot holes, cheap special effects, continuity errors and bad writing (and acting) than you could ever hope to see in one movie.

Obama Gets Heckled During Speech in Connecticut
.
On the election stump for Dick Blumenthal today in Bridgeport, Conn., Obama lost control of a portion of his audience for three minutes.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Bush sent VAST amounts of money to Africa to help deal with AIDS. Bush spent $ 15 billion a year for 3 years and Obamoam LIES that the other side ( our side ) has done nothing. I hate his lies! So far Obama has done nothing as far as I know, I guess that is why these people are so upset with Obama.
Heh heh I don't care who is protesting obama, it is all good. haha Love to see him silenced and when I saw this happen live yesterday, there was a long silence on his part as he just looked from side to side disgusted. hahahaha

Charllie Crist Soap Opera Continues As Voicemail from Crist to Meek Surfaces and Crist Offers Meek A Cross
Clinton Will Again Be Coming To FL. For Meek on Monday
Former President Bill Clinton will campaign with Florida Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek in Orlando on Monday night, just days after controversial reports that Clinton asked Meek to withdraw from the race and throw his support behind independent Senate candidate, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.
Clinton said that he spoke with Meek twice regarding the possibility of leaving the race, but that he had not asked him to do so.
"He was trying to determine what was the best thing for him to do," Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Susan Candiotti on Thursday. "I knew it was being discussed, people had discussed it on and off. It was no secret."
Meek told CNN Friday that Clinton had never approached him about exiting the race, but said Crist had been the one to broach the subject.
"Gov. Crist talked to me about getting out of the race. I recommend to the governor that he should consider getting out of the race." Meek said.
Crist said Thursday on Fox News that said he spoke with Meek and "several people" at the White House, as well as Clinton counselor Doug Band, about having Meek step out of the race.
.
Voicemail from Crist to Meek surfaces
This was left before 5:00 a.m. Monday morning. CRIST: Let's see if "we can work out a time to get together, just you and me"
A voicemail from Gov. Charlie Crist to Democratic Senate candidate Kendrick Meek from earlier this week emerged on Saturday, suggesting Crist asked Meek to withdraw from the three-way race.
The existence of the voicemail comes a day after questions arose about whether former President Bill Clinton pressured Meek to give up his bid and back Crist.
Meek says Clinton discussed the topic but didn't press him to exit the race. Instead, Meek has said it was Crist who asked him to withdraw.
In a voicemail message left for Meek by Crist at 5 a.m. Monday, Crist asks Meek to meet sometime that day after a political event where the governor asked the Democratic congressman face-to-face to bow out.
Reports by the St. Pete Times say Crist was calling Meek frequently in an effort to get Meek to drop out of the race.
Meek has refused to drop out. He and Crist trail Republican Marco Rubio in the polls.
In a Saturday announcement, Clinton said he would campaign with Meek on Monday in Orlando with the mid-term election looming on Tuesday.
Meek told reporters today that the controversy has energized his supporters and he is seeing a surge in voter participation.
.
Meek: I Turned Down Charlie Crist's Cross.
Florida independent Senate candidate Charlie Crist personally lobbied Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek to exit the race this week, offering him a cross that had been a gift from his sister, Mr. Meek said Friday.
The gesture occurred Monday as Mr. Crist and Mr. Meek were surrounded by local Jewish leaders at a Hollywood, Fla., meeting of the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
“I was shocked when he did it,” Mr. Meek said in an interview late Friday. “I told him to keep the cross and that I carry my Christianity in my heart.”
Crist spokesman Danny Kanner said he would not comment on a private conversation. Charlie Crist personally called a top adviser to Bill Clinton and asked if the former president would discuss with Kendrick Meek the possibility of dropping out of the Florida Senate race, according to a source close to Clinton.
Mr. Meek said he tried to avoid Mr. Crist, but as he left the stage, “there he was, right in front of me.”
“He said, ‘If you were to drop out and work with me and help me we together can beat Marco Rubio,’” Mr. Meek recalled. “I said, ‘Governor, that’s a non-starter.’
“Then he dug down into his pocket and pulled a small cross out,” Mr. Meek continued. “He said his sister gave it to him and he wanted to give it to me so I would think about it.”
Mr. Meek said Mr. Crist had been calling him repeatedly all weekend, and that he blames Mr. Crist for spreading rumors in recent weeks that he was going to drop out of the three–way race against Mr. Rubio, the GOP nominee.
Mr. Crist’s camp had been in contact with aides to former President Bill Clinton, who last week tried to convince Mr. Meek he could not win the race and that exiting might help Mr. Crist defeat Mr. Rubio.
Mr. Crist, on the early-morning voice mail, described himself as a “night owl.” Mr. Meek said he was asleep when the call came in.
“For him to call me at four something in the morning, you know something’s not right,” Mr. Meek said.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Crist wakes Meek up at 4:45 AM to talk. Stalks Meek and offers him a cross. LOL oh my gosh....hahahaha Crist has gone over the edge. This is more than desperate. Crist seems mentally unstable. My prediction: Crist will not only finish 3rd, but he will be finished politically. The man is mentally unstable.
And the funny thing is all this backfired on Crist. His begging has only gotten Meeks more support. LOL
I wonder how his sister felt that he was regifting?

Dhimmitude and Obama's Socialized Medicine
That's Ann Barnhardt, she did the research on this and wrote the article below. Thank you Mark for sending this to me. ~ Wild Thing
This is Ann's blog
http://barnhardt.biz/index.cfm
Here is the wording from the Bill (emphasis added):
"(5) EXEMPTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.—In the case of an individual who is seeking an exemption certificate under section 1311(d)(4)(H) from any requirement or penalty imposed by section 5000A, the following information: 24 (A) In the case of an individual seeking exemption based on the individual’s status as a member of an exempt religious sect or division, as a member of a health care sharing ministry, as an Indian, or as an individual eligible for a hardship exemption, such information as the Secretary shall prescribe."
According to a post on American Thinker to which Ann Barnhardt refers . So far, the religious exclusions are Amish, Christian Scientist, Seventh Day Adventist and muslim.
WORD OF THE DAY: DHIMMITUDE
Dhimmitude -(what does it mean) Obama used it in the health care bill...
Dhimmitude- It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill.
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to islam.
The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
How convenient. So I, Ann Barnhardt, a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize muslims. Period. This is Dhimmitude.
Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll be a muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?"
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Muslims get a pass on the First Amendment to the US Constitution - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Also there is one other thing we have also read about before that important to know too. The federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care. The people are not bound by an unconstitutional act.
This whole obamacare needs to be stopped, not changed, not rewritten, but thrown out completey.

The Choice Tuesday: Vote For Tyranny Or Restoration Of American Liberty
The Choice Tuesday: Vote For Tyranny Or Restoration Of American Liberty
American patriots must get out and vote Tuesday and offer to participate where possible in reporting suspected voter fraud which has already been reported throughout the country. Most of these incidents involve filing false absentee ballots or altering the vote tallies registered by computers. The U.S. Justice Foundation has a list of at least a dozen documented fraud incidents thus far. Labor unions and the remnants of ACORN and related anti-American organizations have been the primary culprits so far.
Such criminal fraud seeks to alter the outcome of close votes which in turn affects the makeup of Congress and thus our ability to counter the tyrannical takeover of America by this Administration. It is crystal clear that Barry Soetoro is unqualified to be President with paper thin credentials, carefully concealed background, and radical extremist friends. He hates America and what our nation has stood for---strength, defender of freedom, and free enterprise. He is the product of Muslim upbringing resulting in identity confusion as expressed in the books he purportedly wrote.
The socialist ‘progressive’ Democrats are all about converting America to a socialist regime which has proved to be an economic disaster in Europe. Americans who have not awakened to this assault are either too stupid to understand what they are sacrificing or actually want to trade their liberty for government dependence. The question then becomes who is it they expect to support them if those who are productive and paying taxes are no more? Recent polls indicate that by January 2013 ----just two years away---that some 46% of the nation’s doctors will quit the practice of medicine.
Why? Because a panel of bureaucrats will dictate whether or not these doctors can treat their patients according to accepted guidelines which conflict with government’s objective---spending as little as possible on actual medical care by rationing and aged-based treatment.
It is interesting how some 88% of the black voters recently polled would still vote for Obama again. Since we know he hates what America stands for, it sadly follows these black voters, in contrast to other ethnic minorities, must harbor dislike of the American values of hard work and self-sufficiency which Martin Luther King strived to give them back in the 1960s---how ironic! .
Further it proves that racism still exists but on the other side of the fence!. Most Hispanics detest the intrusion of illegal immigrants into America because they compete with those who immigrated lawfully and have productive lives and jobs.
The decision this Tuesday alone will not be sufficient to reverse the current course but will at least put the brakes on the car going off the cliff so that we can change our nation’s leadership in 2012.

Wild Thing's comment........
I agree it is a first step to take our country back from those seeing to destroy it. I hope and pray it is a BIG step and one that will make a big difference and then on to 2012 for another big step.

Sarah Palin: Lisa, are you going to shut down my Facebook page for writing this?
Sarah Palin: Lisa, are you going to shut down my Facebook page for writing this? .
Yesterday, Lisa Murkowski’s hired guns threatened radio host Dan Fagan, and more importantly, the station that airs Fagan’s show, with legal action for allegedly illegal “electioneering.” The station, unlike Murkowski, who is flush with millions of dollars from vested corporate interests, does not have a budget for a legal defense. So it did what any small market station would do when threatened by Beltway lawyers charging $500 to $1000 an hour – they pulled Dan Fagan off the air.
Does all this sound heavy handed? It is. It is an interference with Dan Fagan’s constitutional right to free speech. It is also a shocking indictment against Lisa Murkowski. How low will she go to hold onto power? First, she gets the Division of Elections to change its write-in process – a process that Judge Pfiffner correctly determined had been in place without change for 50 years. She is accepting financial support from federal contractors, an act that is highly questionable and now pending before the FEC. And today, she played her last card. She made it clear that if you disagree with her and encourage others to exercise their civic rights, she’ll take you off the air.
The concept of “electioneering” involves several issues, but typically refers to campaigning at the polls, which is appropriately banned. Under federal law, it can also mean paying for advertising on broadcast media during a federal election cycle, and it requires disclosures if done by groups and corporations. Fagan used satire to mock Murkowski’s write-in efforts and encouraged Alaskan’s to run as write-in candidates. That is not illegal. That is free speech.
Individuals like Dan Fagan have a fundamental right to speak their minds without threats from the incumbent Senator from Alaska. It is hard to find a constitutional right Americans cherish more than the right to free speech. This was a right Joe Miller, as a decorated combat veteran – a tank commander tested in battle, was willing to die to defend. Dan Fagan has not always agreed with me, but I will gladly defend his right to speak freely on his radio show, which he has often used to criticize me. In fact, Fagan has actually used his radio show to attack and insult me, my husband, my children, and my family in just about every way possible. He was especially insulting to my son, who left for a war zone to defend Fagan’s right to attack our family. But when I was his governor, I never would have dreamed of threatening his right to free speech. I support him in this fight because this D.C. Beltway thuggery, as exemplified by Lisa Murkowski’s latest threat, is ruining our country. The powers that be want ordinary Americans to sit down and shut up and let the ruling class ride us right off the debt cliff we’re heading towards with Obama, Pelosi, and Reid steering the nation’s car. We can’t let them. Now is the time to put aside our past differences and stand up to the establishment powers.
This whole episode confirms again why we need to elect Joe Miller. Lisa, you can sue me if you want (you won’t be the first). But I will not be intimidated from speaking my mind. Your intimidation just empowered us liberty-loving Alaskans. Are you really that out of touch?
- Sarah Palin

Way to go, Sarah! In her note she is defending Dan Fagan after what he has said about her and her family is something to point out as well.
Freedom of speech is being threatened now more then ever. Sarah did great speaking out about this!
Murkowski is really horrible. Lisa Murkowski really must be defeated.

Congress Building to Break Promises
.
Congress Building to Break Promises
At a breakfast meeting with a select group of defense reporters at a posh Washington, DC hotel, one of the most vocal members of the Senate Armed Services Committee uttered words likely to strike fear into the hearts of the Army and Marine Corps' most senior leaders.
No, this was not about the cancellation of a pet weapons system or the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. It was about something potentially far worse. Based on the pullout from Iraq and a planned withdrawal from Afghanistan beginning next summer, Sen. Jim Webb -- former Navy Secretary and Marine platoon leader in Vietnam -- said the Pentagon should plan to hand out pink slips to a fresh crop of Soldiers and Marines who only a year ago joined to service behind the promise of a larger force to meet steadily-building global missions.
"We eventually should and will reduce the size of the Army and Marine Corps as we wind down in Iraq and Afghanistan," Webb said.
With flags waving and fists thumping in righteous indignation, lawmakers foisted upon the Army and Marine Corps an increase in manpower -- about 80,000 overall -- in 2007. For years, opponents of the Bush administration's war policy criticized the Pentagon's under resourcing of the fight in Iraq, pointing to Soldiers and Marines with back-to-back deployments as victims of a "broken" military and an ill-planned invasion. The way to fix it, Congress argued, was to boost the size of the Army and Marines -- the two services doing the bulk of the fighting there.
Despite repeated cajoling from anti-war lawmakers only too happy to show their "support for the troops" by increasing end strength, the service chiefs respectfully declined to take the legislative branch up on its offer, fearing a repeat of the crushing reduction in forces imposed by then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney in the waning days of the Cold War. The last thing the service chiefs want to do is hire a bunch of new employees then turn around and fire them without offering a reasonable chance at a career. Congress, naturally, blamed Rumsfeld for the services' intransigence, claiming he was pressuring the chiefs to deny the need for more troops.
But after years of pressure, the chiefs acceded to lawmakers' demands and agreed to a modest increase -- about 55,000 Army and Guard troops and about 25,000 Marines -- that would be fully implemented within three years. That was 2007.
A year later, the economy tanked and recruiting stations were inundated with applicants. The Marine Corps reached its new goal in less than two years and the Army made a year after that. Now those so-called "dwell times" are finally increasing, Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey noted, with Soldiers able to spend an average of two years back home to every one year deployed. What Casey didn't say, though, was that the dwell time increase had more to do with 100,000 fewer troops deploying to Iraq, than with the 55,000 extra Soldiers Congress had given them.
Yet what Congress giveth, Congress taketh away. With an economy gasping for air, unemployment stuck at 9 percent and a national dept climbing into the trillions, both parties are shifting their sights to savings in the $660 billion defense budget. Fearing a dramatic backlash over the military/civilian "social contract," lawmakers are loath to raise military health care premiums, cut troop pay, or risk jobs in their districts by cancelling weapons programs.
So guess what, the political capital Congress earned from advocating a larger military during the darkest days of the Iraq war will soon pay for the "domestic investments" they need make to stay in office. According to Army officials, every 10,000 new Soldiers cost taxpayers about $1.2 billion per year.
"We want to compensate our people well, but the end-strength numbers drive costs," Webb said, expressing what many in Congress think as they look for buckets of money to pay for other "priorities."
"Do we need this size of our ground forces if we are properly going to reshape our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan?" he added. "I think you can cut back."
So get ready Generals Casey and Amos. Those bright new faces you brought in with the promise of a military career and a lifetime of service to their country, those new billets you created to meet the demand, and those new facilities you built to house and train them are all about to take a hit. Congress has shifted its ephemeral gaze once again and you're going to be left in the cold. And remember this broken contract the next time Congress pledges support for the military, not the mission.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Cuts backs will hurt us one day big time, imo. All the spending Congress does on BS things and then they want to cut back on our Armed Forces???? They spent our tax dollars in their stimulus bills to have tattoo's removed from prisoners and other wasted spending but God forbid they spend money to keep a strong force to protect our country. sheesh
And one more thing, where are the politicans telling how upset they are about the military voting problems. Has anyone heard even ONE politician say anything about this????

" We can Vote “Anti-Americanism out of Office this Tuesday” ~ ElRushbo
Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh describing what the United States will look like in the years to come if Democrats retain control of the Congress after the November 2 Midterm Elections. A caller asked Rush to comment on what the U.S. will look like in 10 years if the Democrats retain power.
Limbaugh said “you won’t have to wait 10 years.” Obama and his administration will move ahead with their radical agenda immediately. Rush said that a vote for Obama is a vote for class warfare, which the Democrats will continue to press on every front. Obama will continue to expand his power through the use of “Czars” who report only to him.
Rush said a vote for the Democrats is a vote to continue the destruction of the Health Care system through the imposition of ObamaCare. A vote for Democrats is a vote for a continued weaker Foreign Policy on the part of the United States.
Limbaugh said “if you want to see America in 10 years (under Democrat control), take a look at Venezuela and Cuba.”
Limbaugh: “We might not be able to do away with anti-Americanism, but we can vote it out of office this Tuesday.”

Terror Alert: Suspicious Devices 'dry run' by Muslims Target Is America
NBC's Tom Costello reports that out of "an abundance of caution" over a suspicious package found at a British airport, incoming cargo flights from Yemen were given heightened inspection, resulting in additional suspicious, non-threatening packages being found inside the U.S.
.

Terror alert: suspicious devices 'dry run' for terror campaign against US synagogues
A series of suspicious packages found in Britain and Dubai could have been part of a “dry run” by al-Qaeda for a mail bomb plot in the United States, authorities believe.
The packages were found on an American-registered cargo plane at East Midlands airport in England, en route from Yemen to Chicago, via Cologne in Germany, and on aircraft in Dubai which had also come from Yemen.
It was claimed the devices were destined for synagogues in Chicago.
Jewish organisations and synagogues in Britain said they were already on high alert.
Scotland Yard said the package found in Britain was removed for further testing. It was claimed it contained a toner cartridge for a printer, covered in white powder and with wires protruding from it.
It was found at East Midlands, one of Britain's biggest cargo hubs, during screening of cargo at the airport. It was claimed that security sources in the Middle East had tipped off the intelligence services about packages emanating from Yemen, now regarded as one of the hot-beds of al-Qaeda terrorist activities.
"We know that these packages originated in Yemen and we are looking into potential links to terrorism," said one U.S. official.
As a result of the terror alert, the US Department of Homeland Security increased aviation security measures.
Fedex, the world’s largest cargo airline, confirmed that the suspicious package seized at its Dubai facility originated in Yemen. It had stopped all shipments, originating from Yemen, a spokesman added.
Officials were also investigating reports of several packages on aircraft in the eastern United States cities of Philadelphia and Newark, New Jersey although nothing had yet been found. The FBI said it did not believe an attack was imminent, a spokesman said.
Barack Obama, the US President, was told late on Thursday night of a "potential terrorist threat" surrounding suspicious packages on the aircraft, the White House said.
"Intelligence and law enforcement agencies discovered potential suspicious packages on two planes in transit to the United States," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
"Authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in East Midlands and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen."
Mr Gibbs said that, as a precaution, extra security measures were taken regarding other cargo planes at Newark and Philadelphia international airports in the United States.
"The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 10:35, by John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism," he said.

DEVELOPING: Military jets are escorting a commercial passenger jet to JFK airport in New York.
The flight, which contains a package from Yemen, was escorted by Canadian F-18s to the the U.S. border and has since been picked up by two American F-15s.
An FBI official told Reuters there was no known threat associated with the flight.
Federal authorities were stepping up aviation security precautions after cargo planes were grounded at two U.S. airports in response to suspicious packages that may have been part of a "dry run" for a future Al Qaeda plot.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
There was a middle eastern flight that was due to land in New York about now. Fox is now saying that the flight being escorted by F-15’s originated in Yemen. Passenger jet.
THIS is what makes them incompetent. If Obama knew about these threats last night at 10:35 EST, why were these planes even allowed to enter our airspace today??
Statement of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
They said it orginated in Yemen and was being escorted by Canadian military until it got to our border. Then we took over.
I am assuming at this point they are just using an abundance of caution due to the point of origin.
I think that everything that has gone on today will remind voters why NOT to ever trust the Obama Administration..for God’s sake they wished Ahmadenejad a happy birthday today..this man wants to wipe Israel off the map and they wish him a happy birthday..I hope this resonates with voters on the 2nd
The idiot who happens to be the spokesman for the US State Dept has posted the above tweets a few hours ago congratulating Ahmadinejad on his birthday. What's this? A circus or the foreign policy establishment of a once noble superpower? Whose side are you on, Obama? What a spectacular failure Obama and his team have been in the past 2 years.quote and tweet information ( I do not tweet so got it from another place) from The Spirit of Man blog

Poll: Most Want Obama Fired In 2012 ~ Epic Buyer's Remorse!!
A new poll by Democrat pollster Douglas Schoen provides some sobering information for President Barack Obama. The poll reveals that 56% of those surveyed say Obama “does not deserve to be re-elected” in 2012. Only 38% say he “deserves to be re-elected.” Those are staggering numbers for an incumbent President.
.
To add insult to injury, by a 48%-43% margin, those surveyed said former President George W. Bush was a better President than Obama!
.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, rapped by the White House for pledging to make Barack Obama a one-term president, seems to have the support of a majority of Americans. A new poll provided to Whispers says that 56 percent of likely voters want the president fired.
Could this be true? ~ Wild Thing Democrats pressing Obama not to run again Some senior personalities in the Democratic Party have discussed with President Obama's advisers the possibility of him not running for re-election in 2012, according to an influential Democratic Party operative speaking on condition of anonymity. The operative, who is close to the Democratic leadership, did not indicate whether Obama was undecided about running again. Any such decision would need to be made at a later date based on a number of factors, such as any change in poll numbers after the midterm elections, the operative said. There are some within the Democratic leadership who believe at this point it would be best for the party if Obama did not seek re-election in 2012, and more than one discussion has been held on the matter with Obama's top advisers, according to the party operative. Speculation has been rampant Obama might bow out on his own. The president is facing sinking approval ratings following a series of highly unpopular moves. "I don't think he wants it," stated Cavuto. "What can be more historic than a president who willingly walks away from the most powerful job on earth? Especially one who shattered precedent becoming president and all but shattered the Constitution itself being president." William Hughes, writing in the Examiner, opined, "Of course, nobody in their right mind believes that the most narcissistic world leader in our lifetime would ever willingly walk away from power, but it is nice to dream."

Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto declared on his show in August that he is "more convinced than ever" Obama will not run in 2012.

Wild Thing's comment........
I want him gone by the end of 2010.
‘Fired’ is not harsh enough. I would prefer for Obama to be handed the sentence of traitors....those that commit treason.
There is one thing...... He won't be able to run if enough states pass disclosure laws requiring candidates to provide original documents. birth certificates (long forms), all travel documents i.e. passports/visas, all educational records, and full financial disclosure of funding sources for education, property, and election campaigns .
Other then that I can't see this dictator ever not wanting to run. He would have to be forced not to run. He has shown he cares less about what "we the people" want even if some are democrats that do not want his obamacare, he does not listen to them either. I just don't see Obama going anywhere. His ego is almost as big as the mess he's made of this nation. Then there is also the black community will not stand for America's first black president being thrown under the bus.
His Marxist and communist training will never let him concede defeat nor relinquish power.
But I would LOVE for him to be fired midstream that would be sweet justice for what he has done and plans to do more of to our beloved America.
One good thing, a funny thing happened on the way to the Dictatorship, though. A tea party got started.
Bottom line, if the Democrat party had any brains at all they would force this failure of a human being (POTUS Barack Hussein Obama) to retire or impeach him during the lame duck congress. Obama HATES America and all Americans. Obama betrayed the best part of the American spirit. He willfully lied to the American public that fell for his BS, who trusted him and put their great faith in him.And he willingly and purposefully betrayed them as well. We have never faced such a vile, America hating and deceitful public personage.
There were so many clues as to how dishonest this man was before he was elected and the press is to blame for promoting this phony. There were so many clues as to how he would govern, yet the press lied and promoted him nevertheless.
Everything about him is a fabrication as if he were a television script and his lines are all on the teleprompter as well. He has been the puppet of Soros and others because imo his agenda was deep seeded from an early age. Taught to hate the things America stands for. Our country has been a light to the rest of the world. Our troops have fought to free millions and fought against communism such as the Vietnam War. We as a Nation have stood for something good and real and hope, real hope not the kind Obama wants of only a false hope and destruction.
His hate for our Constitution is shocking and was one of the first things we all learned about during his campaign. In his comments about it he almost brags about his hate for it as if it is the norm.....in his sick world and his associations it is the norm.
Obama does seek to destroy and is also incompetent. Progressives believe that government is the answer. As a consequence, more and more Progressives are finding that the Obama administration is wildly incompetent at mundane jobs that were performed with ease even within the giant bureaucracy that was Washington. They have approached him about his being a disappointment as well. Look at all the times his administration has messed up, things that other administrations would never have done. Simple tasks, flubs in speeches, treatment of leaders of other countries, so many things in so many areas.
We have read of the growing frustration that his appointed heads of agencies have created true morasses and quagmires of epic proportions. One can appoint all the affirmative action and politically correct ( communist, Marxists, progressives) “special” people, but the title is only a title....and in the end has a lasting and eroding of effect of showing that these positions were rewards for being the flavor de jour of political correctness or part of his agenda for our country, and actually emphasizes and highlights that the emperor and his minions have no clothes and wouldn't know what to do with them if they were laid out and tagged with instructions. ( Considering how to make or repair or maintain the articles of clothing is a conceptual thought far above the pay grade....and yet they are calling for a new sort of clothing that defies all known physical law.)
Obama is being successful in destroying our country, but their extraordinary ineptitude is showing us that they cannot be trusted to be the ones to rely on after the destruction is complete....and that was probably the plan all along for the ones who control Obama.I bet Soros wishes he had a better subject, more apt then Obama has been in his abilities. He might want his money back.
It will be the great test of American spirit in how we deal with his unparalleled betrayal of our country and it's people. We have the best country in the world and I know we can do it if we stay strong and never give up.

Bill Clinton Throws Senatorial Candidate Kendrick Meek Under Bus!
Bill Clinton urged black senatorial candidate Kendrick Meek to leave the race in Florida
The Politico via Drudge:
Bill Clinton sought to persuade Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race for Senate during a trip to Florida last week — and nearly succeeded.
Meek agreed — twice — to drop out and endorse Gov. Charlie Crist’s independent bid in a last-ditch effort to stop Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee who stands on the cusp of national stardom.
Meek, a staunch Clinton ally from Miami, has failed to broaden his appeal around the state and is mired in third place in most public polls, with a survey today showing him with just 15 percent of the vote. His withdrawal, polls suggest, would throw core Democratic voters to the moderate governor, rocking a complicated three-way contest and likely throwing the election to Crist.
The former president’s top aide, Doug Band, initially served as the intermediary between Meek and Crist, and Clinton became involved only when Meek signaled that he would seriously consider the option, Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna confirmed to POLITICO.
“The argument was: ‘You can be a hero here. You can stop him, you can change this race in one swoop,’” said another Democrat familiar with the conversations, who said Clinton had bluntly told Meek that he couldn’t win the race.
Crist also confirmed the planned scenario Thursday night, telling MSNBC's Keith Olbermann: "I had numerous phone calls with people very close to President Clinton."
And Clinton himself described the conversations in an interview with CNN.
“He was trying to determine what was the best thing for him to do,” Clinton said, adding that Meek was simply too short on cash to break through. “I knew it was being discussed, people had discussed it on and off… it was no secret.”
“He was trying to think about what was the best thing for Florida,” Clinton said.
In a press conference, Meek issued a calibrated denial, taking issue with the statements by Crist and Clinton's spokesman.
"Any rumor or any statement from anyone that says I made a decision to get out of the race is inaccurate at best," Meek said. "There was never a deal."
Meek conceded that Clinton had asked him about reports that he was going to drop out, but suggested that he'd quickly ended the conversation, and he stressed that he had never actually decided to drop out.
Clinton did not dangle a job in front of Meek, who gave up a safe House seat to run for the Senate, but instead made the case that the move would advance the congressman’s future prospects, said a third Democrat familiar with the conversations.
Clinton campaigned with Meek in Florida on Oct. 19 and 20, and thought he had won Meek over. But as the week wore on, Meek lost his enthusiasm for the arrangement, spurred in part, a third Democratic source said, by his wife’s belief that he could still win the race. Clinton spoke with Meek again at week’s end, three Democrats said, and again Meek said he would drop out.
"It was a completely done deal,” one source said.
The Crist, Meek and Clinton camps even set a date for an endorsement rally: the following Tuesday, Oct. 26. Meek was to give Crist his blessing and explain to his disappointed supporters — many of whom deeply distrust the governor, who was elected as a Republican — that their votes could save the Senate for the Democrats and save America from the rise of Rubio, who is viewed both as a hard-line conservative and a potential national figure.
The White House, Democrats said, had knowledge of the plans and viewed them as a path to capturing the Senate seat, but did not initiate the talks.
Last weekend, however, Meek changed his mind.
“Not being seen as a quitter was more important than stopping someone who was so opposed to what you and your party had stood for,” said one Democrat who had been hoping to close the deal.
In an appearance on CNN Thursday night, Meek specifically denied that any joint rally had been planned. Going even farther than his boss, Meek campaign manager Abe Dyk vehemently denied the entire sequence of events described by Clinton's aide and other Democrats.
"Kendrick Meek was not ever dropping out of this race and will not ever drop out of this race," Dyk said. "He’s going to stand up for the middle class as opposed to his two lifelong Republican opponents who always stand with the special interests."
White House officials did not respond immediately to questions about the plans. But in an appearance on Fox News, Crist said he had discussions with "several people" at the White House subsequent to the implosion of the Clinton-Meek scheme. "There were several people that I spoke with," Crist said, declining to give specifics.
“Our only focus is on uniting common-sense Democrats, independents and Republicans behind Charlie Crist because he’s the only candidate who can defeat tea party extremist Marco Rubio,” Crist spokesman Danny Kanner said.
Rubio and his allies jumped on the news.
“Charlie Crist truly will say and do anything to get elected and hold on to power. Secret deals to trade away principles for power is already the problem in Washington, it’s not the solution,” said a top Rubio aide, Todd Harris.
Harris noted that no recent public polling has shown Crist beating Rubio in a two-man race, but also released internal polling data aimed at keeping Meek’s hope alive: "As of yesterday, in our internal tracking showed Crist and Meek in a statistical dead heat. Among those who have already voted, our internal polling actually shows Meek beating Crist 28% to 24%."
But with Meek widely viewed as dead in the water, the real danger to Democrats in Florida may be that the news of Clinton’s gambit will discourage black voters from participating in the election at all, a danger to gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink, locked in a tight race with health care executive Rick Scott.
And Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele poked directly at that Democratic vulnerability in a statement Thursday evening.
“President Clinton’s actions to have Kendrick Meek withdraw from the campaign sends a chilling signal to all voters, but especially African Americans,” Steele. “One can only imagine the response if Republican leadership tried to force out of the race – in the 11th hour – a qualified black candidate like Kendrick Meek.”
.
Governor Charlie Crist (R?-FL) told Greta Van Susteren that he spoke to “several people” at the White House subsequent to conversations with the Clinton team. Crist added that he spoke with them about pushing black democrat Kendrick Meek to “do what’s right” and withdraw from the Florida senate race.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Wow what drama. hahaha
Anyone else notice how when either of the Clinton's are involved in something there is always drama and corruption too of course.
Bill Clinton to Meek: Get to the back of the Bus. I wonder if it was asked by Obama for him to do this or if Bill Clinton did it to get back at Obama.
This is how bad the Democrats want to beat Rubio. They do not want Rubio to win this seat. My guess is Crist leaked the story, I would not put anything past that horrible person.
Seriously, if I were Meek... I’d be mad as hell that I had to make way for a political opportunist like Crist.
It seems Meek actually went along with the idea, then changed his mind.
Besides being a liar (Democrat) Meek actually comes across as likable & intelligent until you really listen to what he is saying.
Crist is a leftist homosexual trial lawyer, the lowest form of scum on several levels.
Bubba’s doing Obama's dirty work again....last time Sestak, in which Clinton denied doing anything. This time desperation requires expediency, so just do it in the open ...(the media will protect them)

Putting the Power Back in The Hands Of We The People
The Republican Study Committee has launched a terrific ad, "Putting the Power Back in Your Hands."
The ad notes America was founded on certain fundamental truths:
People derive their power and liberty from their creator, not the state.
People know best how to run their lives and their country.
The ad also notes that many people in Washington have stopped listening to the American people, and the people have lost faith in their elected officials.
In the ad, the Republican Study Committee acknowledges Republicans must earn back our trust by respecting the consent of the governed and staying true to constitutional conservative principles.

Obama and Democrats Ask Pentagon for Info on Potential Obama Challengers
Exclusive: Democrats Ask Pentagon for Info on Potential Obama Challengers
DNC Requests Records Related to Palin, Romney, Seven Other Possible 2012 Contenders
The Democratic National Committee formally has asked the Pentagon for reams of correspondence between military agencies and nine potential Republican presidential candidates, a clear indication that Democrats are building opposition-research files on specific 2012 contenders even before the midterm elections.
An internal Army e-mail obtained by ABC News indicates that the DNC has filed Freedom of Information Act requests for "any and all records of communication" between Army departments and agencies and each of the nine Republicans -- all of whom are widely mentioned as possible challengers to President Obama.
The agencies are asked to respond to the request by this Friday, just four days before Election Day.
The nine Republicans that Democrats are seeking information on are former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska; former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass.; Gov. Haley Barbour, R-Miss.; Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.; former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.; Sen. John Thune, R-S.D.; Gov. Mitch Daniels, R-Ind.; Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.
Such requests are typical in the world of opposition research, which involves casting a broad net for publicly available material that may at some point prove embarrassing or incriminating to political candidates.
The request isn't for details of military service or lack thereof, but appears to be designed to find information on letters and memos sent to and from the potential candidates in official positions they've held.
DNC officials declined to comment, but did not dispute that the information has been requested. An Army spokesman confirmed that the DNC's formal request for information has been received.
"We did receive a FOIA request, and now we are responding to that FOIA request," said the spokesman, Col. Tom Collins.
The DNC's request is intriguing for its timing as well as for the singling out of nine particular Republicans who are expected to vie for the GOP presidential nomination.
In addition, the FOIA request provides a window into how deeply into potential candidates' pasts opposition researchers are looking, even at this early stage.
The request for information on Gingrich stretches back to 1979, when he was a freshman member of the House. The DNC is asking for information related to Palin's service on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council in the early 1990s, while the Pawlenty request includes his service on the Planning Commission in Eagan, Minn., in 1988 and 1989.
The requests for Daniels and Thune specifically reference their time as staff members for U.S. senators. Democrats are trying to learn more about Jindal's career going back to 1996, when he was secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Human Services.
According to the memo, the DNC's request asks for.....
"Any and all records of communication (including but not limited to letters, written requests, reports, telephone records, electronic communication, complaints, investigations, violation and memos) between your department (and all divisions and agencies under your jurisdiction)."
The DNC also asks for copies of other Freedom of Information requests that mention the nine individuals that Democrats want information on.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
We can rest assured that the Pentagon was aware that the weight of the President of the United States was behind the request.
Democrats have already started the 2012 election destruction/slander and monkey business!
The Democrats did this in 1998/99 and got information that led them easily to George Bush' Reserve Air Force Officer records.
With that information in hand they sent a records specialist to the site and MISFILED ALMOST ALL OF "W"'s records. That's where the "he went AWOL" stuff came from.
We finally found out that it was Sandy Burger when all of those records miraculously showed up the same week he got a plea bargain that didn't send him to prison for stealing highly classified materials from the National Archives.
So, they're up to it again.
It’s hard to tell which is growing faster; obama’s enemies list or the national debt.

Obama: “Republicans Can Come For The Ride, But They Gotta Sit in The Back"
Republicans with gusto Monday as he plunged into a final week of midterm election campaigning, but his party’s prognosis remained darkened by the feeble economy and his itinerary was designed largely to minimize losses.
Nor was his greeting totally friendly in Rhode Island where Obama has pointedly declined to endorse his party’s candidate for governor.
Obama can “take his endorsement and shove it,” declared Democrat Frank Caprio, battling Republican-turned-independent Lincoln Chafee in a gubernatorial race rated tight in the polls. Chafee endorsed Obama during the 2008 campaign for the White House.
In a little more than five hours in the state, Obama was booked for a factory tour and for a pair of fundraisers that party officials said would bring in $500,000.
He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, “we can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

" I Voted Republican and Machine Checked Democrat"
'I Voted Republican and Machine Checked Democrat'
A Craven County, NC voter says he had a near miss at the polls on Thursday when an electronic voting machine completed his straight-party ticket for the opposite of what he intended.
Sam Laughinghouse of New Bern said he pushed the button to vote Republican in all races, but the voting machine screen displayed a ballot with all Democrats checked. He cleared the screen and tried again with the same result, he said. Then he asked for and received help from election staff.
“They pushed it twice and the same thing happened,” Laughinghouse said. “That was four times in a row. The fifth time they pushed it and the Republicans came up and I voted.”
.
Suspect Voting Machines in Nevada Are Serviced By SEIU
The SEIU is the same corrupt union that is behind thousands of bogus voter registrations across the nation. The group is spending millions this year to help democrats win back their majorities in Congress.
Since early voting started, there have been credible reports that voting machines in Clark County, Nevada are automatically checking Harry Reid’s name on the ballot:
Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid’s name was already checked.
Ferrara said she wasn’t alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
“Something’s not right,” Ferrara said. “One person that’s a fluke. Two, that’s strange. But several within a five minute period of time — that’s wrong.”
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the touch-screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they make a selection at any time.
Now there’s absolutely no independently verified evidence of chicanery with the voting machines (yet), but it is worth noting that the voting machine technicians in Clark County are members of the Service Employees International Union. The SEIU spent $63 million in elections in 2008 and is planning on spending $44 million more this election cycle — nearly all of that on Democrats.
.
Harry Reid is offering free food and gift cards to get people out to vote.
Cleta Mitchell, the same woman who tried to get Scott Ashjian, the Tea Party of Nevada candidate out of the race, in an astonishing fundraising letter:
As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I am sorry to report that the Democrats and their cronies are up to their same old tricks, of trying to manipulate the election in hopes of skewing the results in their favor.
Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided "free food" at "voter turnout events." Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers' unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.
Before we were even able to document the reported infractions to report to the authorities, the Democrat Secretary of State slammed the door shut on preventing this behavior and issued a public statement permitting these ACORN-style tactics. THESE are the kinds of shenanigans that can turn this race.
Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright. As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics at a cost of nearly $80,000. That's over and above our current budget. We need to raise $80,000 and we need to do it RIGHT NOW, because even as I am writing this, Harry Reid and his Machine are trying to steal this election. I'm sorry that we have to come to you yet again and ask for you to reach deep and contribute, but we must.
Understand, EVERYTHING we have worked for in the last year could be destroyed by dirty tricks and criminal acts in the next 8 days. As Sharron's first line of defense on these matters I am absolutely committed to making sure this won't happen.
What Harry Reid is doing is clearly illegal. Nevada law (NRS 293.700) provides that, “A person who bribes, offers to bribe, or use and other corrupt means, directly or indirectly, to influence any elector in giving his or her vote or to deter the elector from giving it is guilty of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.”
.
Wild Thing's comment......
These people have no shame. I truly believe if we could conquer the vote fraud in this country the democrats wouldn’t win another election.
So there are two places we know of, Craven County in NC and Clark County in Nevada. How many other places in the country is this also true?
Obama is our Chavez, our Mugabe...expecting honest elections in the Obama era is like expecting honest results in Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
I just hope and pray there is the least amount of voter fraud this time, but my gut says I am kidding myself. There is soooooo much at stake.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Authorizes Additional 80,000 MUSLIM “refugees” to Entry Country
Obama authorizes additional 80,000 “refugees” to entry country
Obama in a determination letter to Congress, has announced that he will allow an additional 80,000 immigrants – - mostly from Islamic countries – - to resettle in the United States during fiscal year 2011.
Obama says that the increase in Muslim immigrants “is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest.”
The following “goals” for new immigrants has been set as follows:
Africa ........................................15,000
East Asia ..................................19,000
Europe and Central Asia ............2,000
Latin America/Caribbean…..........5,500
Near East/South Asia….............35,500
Unallocated Reserve…................3,000
Refugee Resettlement Watch and other organizations have expressed grave concern that Obama is allowing some many immigrants into the country while so many Americans remain out of work and living in poverty.
According to the US Department of Labor, 14.8 million Americans remain unemployed. 6.1 million have been out of work for 27 weeks or over.
This figure has been challenged by the Union of the Unemployed who provide statistics that the actual number of unemployed Americans is 31 million.
The U. S. Census Bureau shows that the median household income for Americans has fallen to $49,777 – - a decline of 0.7% in the past year.
One in seven Americans no longer can feed themselves.
According to The Wall Street Journal, 14.3% of the American people live in abject poverty.
A refugee is defined by The US Department of Immigration and Naturalization as someone who has left one’s country due to persecution or a fear of persecution.
This accounts for the sharp rise of Somali communities throughout the country.
However, the definition of refugee is ‘fudged’ in several cases. “Refugees” who have not left their country due to persecution, according to Mr. Obama’s determination letter, can still be called “refugees” if they are from Iraq, one of the Islamic countries of the former Soviet Union, or Cuba.

Wild Thing's comment........
Endless chain immigration, compounded by the endless illegal invasion from Mexico will eventually leave America dead on the floor. It’s simple, it’s clear, it’s without precedent, It’s Treason, pure and simple! Let me make this perfectly clear, The Usurper intends to destroy this country by any means available.
He knows Muslims won't fit in well within the general population, and that the main tenets of Islam are flat-out unconstitutional.
During the past year in South Africa, over three thousand white farmers have been murdered because of their race.
Muslims can immigrate to Muslim controlled nations. I, for one, do not want them here.
He is doing to citizenship what he’s doing to the dollar. Devaluing it to the point of collapse.
And what “national interest” would it be to bring in all these Muslims to an infidel country? JIHAD!

Barack Obama: " My name's not on the ballot, but my agenda is "
Obama: My name's not on the ballot, but my agenda is
Obama said Tuesday that while his name isn't on the ballot on Nov. 2, his agenda practically is.
The president stopped short of saying that next week's election is a referendum on his policies, but suggested that the outcome of key elections next Tuesday could determine the fate of his agenda.
"My name may not be on the ballot, but our agenda for moving forward is on the ballot, and I need everybody to turn out," Obama said during an appearance on the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show this afternoon.
Obama made the remarks during an appearance on Sharpton's radio show to appeal to African American voters to turn out for Democrats at the polls. The president has made appeals to young voters and Latino voters in recent days in order to try to drive high voter turnout and replicate the coalition that propelled him and congressional Democrats to victory in 2008.
To that end, the president will also participate this evening in a conference call with black leaders this evening.
Obama has tried to be as stark as possible about the stakes the election poses for his legislative priorities while keeping the heat on Republicans. Many Democratic candidates who have enjoyed success in their campaigns have often done so by making the race about their GOP opponent, rather than Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), or any of the signature bills the Democratic Congress has passed in recent years.
"They can't talk about their record," House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on Monday in a radio appearance. "You know, this election is going to be a referendum on their job-killing policies."
"I also think anybody who is concerned about the direction of the country has to understand that this election is just as important as 2008," Obama explained to Sharpton.
He added that the 2008 elections only won Democrats the ability to start effecting change in Washington -- a variation on the president's frequent admonition on the campaign trail that the "change" he promised in his campaign is difficult.
"Essentially, in 2008, we won the ability to start making change, and that's what we've done over the last two years," Obama said.

Despicable!
"My name's not on the ballot, but my agenda is"
Obama turns it into being all about him even though it should not be (but this could be good for our side, you know the ones that sit in the back).
And don't worry Obama........WE KNOW!! Believe it, your agenda has to be stopped and that is what we are trying to do with this election as best we can.

Court Overturns Arizona's Proof Of Citizenship Requirement For Voter Registration
This video is from 2009 when Lou Dobbs was still at CNN. He has been so awesome at informing all of us about the illegal situation and what is happening. I miss his show. It is so good to see this video even if it is from 2009 it is STILL happening right now and Obama wants Amnesty big time. ~ Wild Thing

Pueblo Politics: Court overturns Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement for voter registration
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned Arizona’s requirement that people show proof of citizenship to register to vote.
The split decision by a three-judge panel determined that the requirement to show proof of citizenship — passed by voters in 2004 — is not consistent with the National Voter Registration Act.
Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, temporarily sitting by designation, and Circuit Judge Sandra Ikuta, with chief judge Alex Kozinski dissenting, said Prop. 200 creates an additional hurdle, while the national act is intended to reduce “state-imposed obstacles” to registration.
The majority noted that Congress was well aware of the problem of voter fraud when it passed the voter act, and built in sufficient protections, including applying perjury penalties to applicants who lie about their eligibilty.
The court determined Arizona’s polling place photo identification requirement, however, is a minimal burden and does not violate the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment.
Attorney General Terry Goddard’s office is still reviewing the decision and was unavailable for comment.
Secretary of State Ken Bennett said he does not anticipate that the ruling will make any difference in voting next week, since it wasn’t in place when registration closed Oct. 4.
Bennett said the state plans to appeal the ruling, adding he disagrees the documentation sets up a barrier for registration. “I think it’s an outrage and a slap in the face of Arizonans who are concerned about the integrity of elections,” he said.

Wild Thing's comment........
The split decision by a three-judge panel determined that the requirement to show proof of citizenship — passed by voters in 2004 — is not consistent with the National Voter Registration Act.
Good grief, could the decision be more transparently timed? These people have no shame.
Overturning a law passed by voters in a sovereign state is a clear violation of the Tenth Amendment!
So much for of the people - for the people - by the people!!! This overturning things that are voted in by majority votes and all has been happening a lot just as we see more and more liberal agenda's being passed. They go hand in hand. Then top it off with PC and good bye freedom of speech to speak out or speak the truth.
I wonder what would happen if AZ just told them to stick the decision and continued requiring proof?
Our government refuses to protect our legal, political and territorial sovereignty. We no longer have a border and the franchise has been given to foreign criminals.
Seriously, what is the point of government if it can’t do its most basic duty? Why do we even have a military fighting abroad when our most egregious and evil enemies are our own people?
In any other time or place, these liberals would have been shot or hung for treason.

Michigan Woman Faces Civil Rights Complaint for Seeking a Christian Roommate
Michigan Woman Faces Civil Rights Complaint for Seeking a Christian Roommate
A civil rights complaint has been filed against a woman in Grand Rapids, Mich., who posted an advertisement at her church last July seeking a Christian roommate.
The ad "expresses an illegal preference for a Christian roommate, thus excluding people of other faiths,” according to the complaint filed by the Fair Housing Center of West Michigan.
"It's a violation to make, print or publish a discriminatory statement," Executive Director Nancy Haynes told Fox News. "There are no exemptions to that."
Haynes said the unnamed 31-year-old woman’s case was turned over to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. Depending on the outcome of the case, she said, the woman could face several hundreds of dollars in fines and “fair housing training so it doesn’t happen again.”
Harold Core, director of public affairs with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, told the Grand Rapids Press that the Fair Housing Act prevents people from publishing an advertisement stating their preference of religion, race or handicap with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling.
"It's really difficult to say at this point what could potentially happen," he told the newspaper, noting that there are exemptions in the law for gender when there is a shared living space.
But Joel Oster, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, which is representing the woman free of charge, describes the case as "outrageous."
"Clearly this woman has a right to pick and choose who she wants to live with," he said.
"Christians shouldn't live in fear of being punished by the government for being Christians. It is completely absurd to try to penalize a single Christian woman for privately seeking a Christian roommate at church -- an obviously legal and constitutionally protected activity."
Haynes said the person who filed the initial complaint saw the ad on the church bulletin board and contacted the local fair housing organization.
The ad included the words, "Christian roommate wanted," along with the woman's contact information. Had the ad not included the word "Christian," Haynes said, it would not have been illegal.
"If you read it and you were not Christian, would you not feel welcome to rent there?" Haynes asked.
Oster said he hopes the case will eventually be dropped and that he's sent a letter to the state asking the authorities to dismiss the case as groundless.
"The First Amendment guarantees us Freedom of Religion," he said. "And we have the right to live with someone of the same faith. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights is denying her rights by pursuing this complaint."
But Haynes said officials plan on pursuing the matter.
"We want to make sure it doesn't happen again," she said.

The inmates are running the asylum.
“...could face several hundreds of dollars in fines and “fair housing training so it doesn’t happen again.”
Sheesh!!!
If she’d asked for a Moslem, Pagan or atheist roommate, we’d have never heard of her, guaranteed!
The land of the FREE and the BRAVE is being enslaved by PC people. Heck I would run the ad again and this time add to it. The person must also love animals, and be a conservative.
This crap infuriates me. What has happened to OUR rights???? And someone in the congregation complained? The story stated that someone in her own church turned her in. Maybe they’re in the wrong building.

RI Democrat Candidate: "Obama Can Take His Endorsement and ‘Shove It’
Rhode Island Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate: President Obama 'Can Take His Endorsement and Shove It'
Democratic Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio is upset with President Obama. So upset, in fact, he told the president he can “shove it” in regards to a refusal to endorse Caprio. A little context.
Caprio became livid after it was reported on Monday that the president will not endorse Caprio during a visit to the state today. Although Caprio didn’t request an endorsement, he says the move is an example of Washington politics “at its worst.”
See, one of the people running against Caprio is Lincoln Chafee. Although now running as an independent, back in 2008 Chafee was a Republican senator who endorsed Barack Obama for president.
Caprio sees this as Obama paying Chafee back for that endorsement.
“He can take his endorsement and really shove it,” Caprio told local Rhode Island radio station WPRO.
“We had one of the worst floods in the history of the United States a few months back and President Obama didn’t even do a fly over of Rhode Island. He ignored us and now he’s coming into Rhode Island and treating us like an ATM machine,” Caprio added.
“I‘ll wear as a badge of honor and a badge of courage that he doesn’t want to endorse me as a Democrat, because I am a different type of Democrat.”

If Obama had the bubonic plague or small pox he'd wouldn't be any more unwelcome at Democrat campaign events than he is right now. Bet they wish he'd gone on his trip to India before the election.
Obama is really campaigning for cash for his own re-election in ‘12. He has little or no use for the rank and file dems.
Already he has to have unions pay their people to attend or give out free beer (like he did in Germany during the campaign) to get a big crowd.
The thrill is gone, and that just thrills me!

The Great Divider and America Hater Obama Urges (ILLEGAL) Hispanics to Punish "Enemies,"
Obama Tells Latinos That Officials Who Support Border Security “Aren’t the Kinds of Folks Who Represent Our Core American Values”
In the final week leading up to the midterm elections, President Barack Obama is encouraging Hispanic voters to turn their frustration over stalled immigration reform against Republicans on Election Day.
In a radio interview that aired on Univision on Monday, Mr. Obama sought to assure Hispanics that he would push an immigration overhaul after the midterm elections, despite fierce Republican opposition.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Referring specifically to Republicans such as Senator John McCain, who are stressing border security and supporting strict immigration laws like Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration measure, Mr. Obama said, “Those aren’t the kinds of folks who represent our core American values.”

Wild Thing's comment........
Obama looks at half the country as "enemies" and wants to "punish" them. I could never imagine we would have a president who so demeans the office. This incompetent POS is disgraceful.
This is a person who cannot be persuaded by any means to refer to people trying to murder millions of Americans as “enemies,” but he is willing to call HIS FELLOW AMERICANS that at the drop of a hat.
The Enemy Within identifies his enemies. the Citizens of the U.S.A.

D.C. Rally Boldly Blasts Obama As ‘fraud’
D.C. rally boldly blasts Obama as 'fraud'
By Drew Zahn, WND
A rally today at the U.S. Capitol pulled no punches in declaring President Barack Obama an "imposter" and "fraud" who should resign before a constitutional crisis of his own making rips apart the nation.
The rally was called by Philip Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney who runs the ObamaCrimes.com website and was the first to sue over allegations Obama is constitutionally ineligible to occupy the Oval Office.
"The main thrust of the rally," Berg told WND, "was to get out the continuing message that Obama is a phony, a fraud, an imposter, and [his eligibility to serve as president] is the biggest hoax committed against the U.S. in 234 years."
Berg believes there is enough evidence, both hard and circumstantial, to justify an investigation into whether or not Obama is a "natural-born citizen" as required by the Constitution to serve as president. Berg is looking for a court with "the guts" to demand Obama provide proof of his eligibility.
Berg told WND that though the crowd, which he estimated at a couple of hundred, was smaller than anticipated, he still considered the event a success – in part, because of what he hopes it will inspire.
There are more videos of the rally here............ D.C. rally boldly blasts Obama as ‘fraud’
Wild Thing's comment......
I am no fan of Berg, but in this case of what he has been trying to do about Obama I am good with that. It is like the saying don’t damn the messenger on this one kind of thing.
Berg makes no secret of any of that (being a Dem and pro-Clinton).
All in all I am grateful for what Berg has been doing to try and get Obama do what needs to be done.

Shocking: Despicable Democrat Jim Moran Disparaged The Service Of Our Military and Veterans
This past week, Rep. Jim Moran, the longtime Democrat incumbent in Virginia’s 8th district, unleashed a firestorm of controversy when he disparaged the service of millions of troops and veterans. Moran diminished the value of their service by implying that the sacrifices and service our troops give while on active duty did not count as “public service” in the same way that elected officials are public servants.
Wild Thing's comment........
There is not one atom of tolerance in me when a person like this Moran guy says such things. I would vote to drop him from a plane over Afghanistan, no forms of protection or anything to defend himself, and feed him to the terrorists with a thank you not for taking him off our country's hands.
The military is why we have America, our rights, and get to sleep at night I thank God for them ...and I consider them all my friend; and, the ENEMY of my FRIEND, is also MY enemy.
I personally feel a country that doesn’t value its military is a country that will die or is slowly dying.
How can you compare the sacrifice of someone willing to literally put their life on the line to protect their fellow comrades and their nation with that of someone who only has to drive across the Rochambeau Bridge to collect a six-figure salary for a part-time job.

Jimmy Carter Again: Divide Jerusalem
After meeting with anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Freedom leadership of Hamas, Jimmy Carter, Mary Robinson, and other Elders proceeded to Jerusalem to protest Israel's supposed occupation.
Robinson defending meeting with Hamas with words that leave no doubt she should have met with Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. People who do not have any moral compass do not make moral decisions. Of course their naivety often leads to the deaths of innocents.
One can be sure that Carter and Robinson did not ask Hamas why they oppress their people by denying them basic human rights. Nor did they demand that Hamas stop calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.
These fools will continue to do their best to legitimize a barbaric terrorist organization at the expense of a free and democratic society: Israel.
Meanwhile in Doha, in response to an anti-Jewish rant by a Palestinian cleric, World Jewish Congress Vice President Rabbi Marc Schneier said:
"Jerusalem represents Jewish hopes and dreams. For millennia, we have prayed toward Jerusalem. We pray at the Western Wall, we mourn the destruction of our Temple 2,000 years ago, and we tell each other 'Next year in Jerusalem'. Jerusalem has always been the capital of the Jewish state, ancient or modern. It is therefore an insult to all of us to accuse us of illegally occupying the city.
"At the same time, we respect that Jerusalem is a holy place for Christians and Muslims as well. We know that the status of Jerusalem is at the forefront of peace talks, but denying the other side's right to be there is wrong and counter-productive," the rabbi added.
While we oppose Jerusalem being on the negotiating table we applaud Rabbi Schneier for his defense of Jerusalem.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Carter needs to stay in the middle east that is where his loyalty lies and not with the Jews but with the Hamas and the PLO. Or he can just go directly to hell, I could care less which happens first.
Carter knows exactly what he is doing. He is a hardcore anti-semite who loves selling out the Israelis.

Bill Clinton Speaks To Only Half Full Gym in Detroit
Clinton: Democrats must make strong showing at Nov. polls
From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20101024/POLITICS02/10240315/Clinton--Democrats-must-make-strong-showing-at-Nov.-polls#ixzz13L7nwryU
The U.S. is on its way to financial recovery but Democrats must show up at the polls Nov. 2 to prevent further economic strife, former president Bill Clinton told a rally in Detroit today.
Clinton said the GOP is motivating voters by blaming Democrats for a recession he said was brought about by the Bush administration. Republicans say “we gave them 21 months to dig out of this hole we dug,” Clinton said at Renaissance High School on the west side.
Clinton told about 500 people at Detroit’s Renaissance High School that Bernero was the only candidate with an economic plan to turn around Michigan’s battered economy, and he mocked Snyder’s platform as empty “mom and apple pie” rhetoric.
“We’re not out of the hole because it was a very deep hole,” Clinton said. “Don’t shoot yourself in the foot.”
Clinton, who campaigned in the battleground state of Florida earlier this week, is popular in Detroit and trying to fire up the party base in Michigan today with stops today in Detroit, Ann Arbor and Battle Creek.
But he began his speech just before 3 p.m. in a high school gym that was less than half full. The appearance was in support of gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero, shown in most polls to be trailing Republican candidate Rick Snyder by 20 percentage points.

Barack and Michelle's Mumbai, India Trip Will Be 45-Car Convoy, 700 Hotel Rooms, 2 Jumbo Jets
Barack and Michelle's Mumbai darshan plans
45-Car Convoy, 700 Hotel Rooms, 2 Jumbo Jets For Obamas' Mumbai Trip
US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle will be extremely busy in Mumbai, upon landing on November 6 for a two day India visit. As the world’s most powerful man and his wife zip around the city visiting the 26/11 memorial on Marine Drive, the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), Mani Bhawan and other locations in south Mumbai, the security obviously will be water-tight .
Adding to the Obamas’ busy schedule is Michelle’s likely visit to Kamathipura, where she will meet commercial sex workers on the invitation of an NGO. The highprofile visit is likely to inconvenience the citizens, as there could be a complete clampdown on traffic on some main roads of south Mumbai and sanitisation of buildings flanking them.
The Obamas will stay at the Taj Mahal Hotel, and his itinerary practically means Marine Drive will be shut for vehicular traffic on the day of the President’s visit, while buildings flanking it will be sanitised with security personnel manning them until Obama has left the place. Same would be the case with Obama’s visit to Mani Bhawan and Michelle going to Kamathipura.
An officer with the security establishment said, “Several other arterial roads in south Mumbai will also see restricted traffic movement, with tight security all around. The Obamas are not expected to schedule any engagements in the night due to security reasons.”
Since Obama is expected to arrive in the afternoon on November 6, and will travel by road to the Taj Mahal Hotel, the entire stretch from airport to the hotel will be under heavy security. The officer said, “There will be no vehicular movement on Western Express Highway at that time. Traffic on roads leading up to the highway will also be stopped. All buildings flanking the entire stretch will be sanitised. However, there is no threat from the snipers as the President will travel in a bullet-proof car with 4.5-inch thick sheets, which are impenetrable for any gun.”
Obama’s personal security staff itself will be huge, and it has already started making its own arrangements in Mumbai. “A team of secret service agents has already arrived, and has surveyed the areas of his stay and the roads and places on his itinerary,” the officer said.
To ensure fool-proof security, the President’s team has booked the entire the Taj Mahal Hotel, including 570 rooms, all banquets and restaurants. Since his security contingent and staff will comprise a huge number, 125 rooms at Taj President have also been booked, apart from 80 to 90 rooms each in Grand Hyatt and The Oberoi hotels. The NCPA, where the President is expected to meet representatives from the business community, has also been entirely booked.
The officer said, “Obama’s contingent is huge. There are two jumbo jets coming along with Air Force One, which will be flanked by security jets. There will be 30 to 40 secret service agents, who will arrive before him. The President’s convoy has 45 cars, including the Lincoln Continental in which the President travels.”
Since Obama will stay in a hotel that is on sea front, elaborate coastal security arrangements have been made by the US Navy in consonance with the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. “There will be US naval ships, along with Indian vessels , patrolling the sea till about 330-km from the shore. This is to negate the possibility of a missile being fired from a distance,” the officer said.
The President will be accompanied by his chefs, not because he would not like to savour Indian cuisine, but to ensure his food is not spiked.
US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are scheduled to land in Mumbai on November 6.

How much will THIS cost us?
“Adding to the Obamas’ busy schedule is Michelle’s likely visit to Kamathipura, where she will meet commercial sex workers on the invitation of an NGO”
And she needs to meet with ‘commercial sex workers’ because??? Sorry if I’m missing something - - -Are these something different in India than what the name implies to me and I’m thinking they are? (e.g., similar to employees of the Mustang Ranch in NV)? If that is the case then why hasn’t she met with American sex workers ??
Maybe Michelle will just be there to trade hair and makeup tips. heh heh
The Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai where the MUSLIM TERRORIST attacks occurred two years ago.
10 men, each carrying 7 bullet magazines containing 30 rounds with an additional loose 400 rounds strapped into an AK-47 produced enough carnage on November 26, 2008 to earn the dubbing “India’s 9/11” while striking fear into the hearts of the second most populated country on the planet. Hundreds of civilians are confirmed dead, hundreds more injured and India now finds itself in an escalating situation which just fans the flame of the already tense relationship with Pakistan.

Teleprompter to make its debut in India's Parliament Because Obama Unable To Speak Without One
Teleprompter to make its debut in Parliament when Obama speaks
“A teleprompter will be in use for the first time in the Central Hall of Parliament when US President Barack Obama addresses MPs on November eight.”
A teleprompter will be in use for the first time in the Central Hall of Parliament when US President Barack Obama addresses MPs on November eight.
As per the tentative programme being worked out, the address by Obama, who once said that "America has its roots in the India of Mahatma Gandhi", would not be for more than 20 minutes.
The president's programme in Parliament House complex itself will be less than an hour affair, Parliament sources said today. It is scheduled to start at 5pm.
The programme will feature a welcome speech by vice president Hamid Ansari and a vote of thanks by Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar. The US president would also sign the Golden Book, the visitors’ diary of Parliament.
While US first lady Michelle Obama would be accompanying her husband, there was no confirmation whether secretary of state Hillary Clinton would be part of Obama's entourage, Parliament sources said.
Besides the visiting dignitary, those who would be on the dais in the historic Central Hall along with Obama, the vice president and the speaker would be prime minister Manmohan Singh. Michelle will be given a special seat in the front row.
Obama will take the help of a teleprompter to deliver his address to the 780-odd members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, sources said.
Parliament authorities said this will be the first time that such a facility will be arranged in the Central Hall.
Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter is unusual --not only because he is famous for his oratory, but because no other president has used one so consistently and at so many events, large and small.
Wild Thing's comment........
Obama will have the distinction of being the first speaker in their parliament so incompetent that he cannot deliver a speech without electronic assistance. That’s just pathetic.
What an embarrassment. Obama is only a legend in his own mind. How embarrassingly pathetic that he is incapable of the hard work to prepare himself for a speech without a cheat sheet.
"America has its roots in the India of Mahatma Gandhi"
HUH???? Good Lord! The people who molded him from nothing and spent millions hiding his identity, and scripted him and put him into office must be saying: “Couldn’t we have found a better and brighter person?”
Obama can’t be without his Telebinky.

In Unusual Saturday Hearing, Retired Judge Orders Republican Senate Candidate Joe Miller Documents Released
.
Judge orders Miller documents released
A judge ruled today that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release personnel records of Senate candidate Joe Miller.
In an unusual Saturday hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public’s right to know about candidates outweighed Miller’s right to privacy.
“I hold that although Mr. Miller has a legitimate expectation of privacy in those documents, Mr. Miller’s right to privacy is indeed outweighed by the public’s significant interest in the background of a public figure who is running for the U.S. Senate,” the judge said. A U.S. senator, he noted, is among the highest elected offices in the nation.
Burbank ordered that nothing actually will be released until Tuesday afternoon, however, to allow for the ruling to be appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court.
The judge said a handful of documents being sought would not be released, and some would be redacted.
Among the documents being sought are details of his resignation from the job last year, and any disciplinary actions taken against him while employed. Separate lawsuits were brought by the Alaska Dispatch and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The Daily News and Associated Press joined, and the suits were combined. Among the arguments for release was that the state Supreme Court, in earlier cases, has ruled that candidates for office expose their private lives to public scrutiny.
The case was brought by a group of Alaska news media organizations, which have been trying since summer to see borough documents concerning Miller’s employment as a part-time borough attorney…
…The hearing drew about three dozen people to the otherwise empty state courthouse in Downtown Fairbanks. Current borough Mayor Luke Hopkins watched from the gallery. A legislative aide to Sen. Lisa Murkowski sat in the crowd, along with a News-Miner editor and a man who was shooshed for shouting that the judge was an old appointee of Gov. Frank Murkowski.
.
He (the judge, Winston Burbank) was appointed by Governor Frank Murkowksi....SERIOUS CONFILCT OF INTEREST.
Judge Winston Burbank was picked for a District Court judgeship by Governor Frank Murkowski in 2003. Governor Murkowski’s daughter, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AL), was defeated by conservative Joe Miller in the Republican primary and is running against him as a write-in candidate in the general election.

Director David Zucker writes and produces the hilarious but sad tale of Barbara Boxers disrespect of our Military. In the wonderful style of his great movies Airplane, Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2.5, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, An American Carol, David hits to the core of Senator Boxers famous hearing
David Zucker did this ad for Right Change, a 527 and 501(c)4 organization “committed to supporting policies and candidates dedicated to fiscal responsibility and a strong national security for the United States, while upholding the principles of freedom, competitiveness and entrepreneurial spirit of the American people.”
The spot goofs on Boxer’s testy exchange with Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh at a June 2009 hearing of the Committee on Environment and Public Works. “You know, do me a favor,” Boxer told the officer, who was using military protocol to address those higher on the chain of command by “sir” or “ma’am.” “Could say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’”

Is U.N. 'declaration' a Palestinian solution?
Is U.N. 'declaration' a Palestinian solution?
Abbas may ask for unilateral creation of new state
BEIRUT, Lebanon
With Middle East "peace talks' stalled, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is considering asking the United Nations Security Council unilaterally to declare a state on Palestinian lands occupied by Israel since 1967, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The approach has grown out of what Abbas regards as frustration with the immediate negotiations that began a month ago but already are bogged down over the issue of Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank.
"Abbas has started to doubt that the path of negotiations will lead to a solution with Israel," according to Palestinian analyst Hani al-Masri. "I think he is almost convinced that the negotiations have failed."
Abbas believes the U.N. route would bypass reliance on Israel ending its own occupation or the U.S. pressuring its closest ally.
"The negotiations with Israel have been ongoing for more than 19 years since the Madrid peace conference in 1991 and until now have not achieved anything," said Mohammad Ashtayeh, a member of the Palestinian negotiating team.
"It makes no sense for the Palestinian people to continue to wait for an Israeli government that wants peace and a U.S. administration that is able to pressure Israel," he said. "Experience has made it clear that is not going to happen."
As a consequence, the Palestinians are considering a more drastic approach of taking the entire issue of Palestinian statehood to the U.N. Security Council.

John Bolton: Obama and the Coming Palestinian State
BY JOHN BOLTON
Direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, for 21 months the centerpiece of Obama administration Middle East policy, are moving inevitably toward collapse. The talks may limp past our Nov. 2 election, but they are doomed to fail.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) fully understands that the talks—and the "two state solution"—will fail. It needs a plan B. Accordingly, several ideas are circulating to skip bothersome negotiations with Israel and move immediately to Palestinian "statehood."
Two different tactical approaches have emerged. In one, the PA would persuade the United States to recognize a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, within the pre-1967 cease-fire lines (often characterized, wrongly, as "borders"). The other option would have the United Nations Security Council call upon U.N. members to recognize "Palestine" within those lines. Critical to this second tactic is a U.S. commitment either to support such a Security Council resolution or, at a minimum, not to veto it.
In many respects, these and related gambits hearken back to the Palestinian Liberation Organization's (PLO) 1988 declaration of statehood, which was recognized by dozens of U.N. members, including many in Europe. The PLO then tried capitalizing on the declaration by seeking membership in U.N. agencies like the World Health Organization, which require members to be "states." In this way, the PLO sought to create "facts on the ground" in the international arena that it hadn't been able to establish through force.
Those efforts failed because of Washington's determined opposition within the U.N. system, and the overall effort faded away. The PLO gained no new legitimacy, although it did change its General Assembly nameplate from "Palestine Liberation Organization" to "Palestine," which passes for substance at the U.N.

Wild Thing's comment........
If the Palestinian State is declared, Obama would be the first the recognize it. More opportunity for Mullah Hussein Obama to shape the World by fiat.
The Palestinian suicide state and its Islmacist puppet masters are only interested in a one state solution. And that state is not Israel. The EU and Obama are 100% ready, even eager, to see Israel liquidated.

Senator John Thune Responds To Obama and His
.
GOP Weekly Address by Senator John Thune
Here is the complete transcript from his address:
Hello, I’m Senator John Thune of South Dakota. As you’ve probably noticed, we have an election coming up in a little over a week.
President Obama has been running around the country trying to reelect Democrat members of Congress.
But if the conversations I’ve had with voters are any indication, the president should spend less time campaigning to save the jobs of Democrats in Congress, and more time trying to create jobs for the American people.
All across South Dakota and the country, I’ve heard from people who aren’t fooled by President Obama’s well-written speeches. They have serious concerns about our economy, and they are all too familiar with the Administration’s failed policies.
One of the Democrats’ main responsibilities over the past two years was to improve the economy. Instead, they decided to try an experiment to grow government, raise taxes, and take over health care. After two years, the American people are left asking, ‘Why have the Democrats’ priorities been so different from ours?’
The Obama Experiment has failed.
When the president and his Democrat allies in Congress pushed through their $814 billion stimulus bill, they promised it would create millions of jobs, and keep unemployment under eight percent. But their approach didn’t work, and they failed to deliver on their promises.
Unemployment has climbed to nearly 10 percent. Rather than create jobs, the Democrats expanded government, and now the American people are stuck with another bill for nearly a trillion dollars.
When the president was introducing his big government health care plan, he promised to reduce every family’s health insurance premiums by as much as $2,500. But premiums keep going up. Families in some states are seeing increases in the double digits. Here again, Democrats promised but didn’t deliver, and the American people are stuck with rising health care costs and another tab; this one for two-and-a-half trillion dollars.
The Democrats have controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress for nearly two years, and have proven that more government is not the answer. This year they were not even capable of passing a budget. Instead, they spent their time passing more and more burdensome regulations, like their so-called Financial Reform bill that failed to address the main cause of our economic mess.
Despite a dangerously high national debt that is closing in on $14 trillion, the president wants to spend even more money on these kinds of failed policies. And he appears intent on raising taxes to do it.
Giving Democrats more opportunities to manage the economy and spend taxpayer dollars will not give us the economic growth that we need. It will only lead to more growth of government bureaucracy, and to national bankruptcy.There is a reason unemployment is stuck near ten percent.
There is a reason jobs are not being created.
There is a reason too many Americans who want a job can’t find one.
There is a reason the dollar is weak and our economy is not growing as it should.
The reason is that President Obama and Congressional Democrats have led this country in the wrong direction.
Government cannot be openly hostile to American businesses, and expect them to grow and create jobs.
Government cannot raise taxes during tough economic times, and expect small businesses to grow and create jobs.
A new direction is needed.
The president likes to say that when you want to drive forward you put your car in D, and when you want to go in reverse you put it in R. It’s a clever line, but when you’re speeding toward a cliff, you don’t want to keep the car in drive.
Republicans want to reverse the dangerous course the Democrats have us on.
Republicans want to reverse Democrats’ plan to raise taxes on the 750,000 small businesses in this country that employ 25 percent of all workers. So employers have more money to create new jobs.
Republicans support policies that will grow the economy, not the government.
Republicans want to repeal the flawed health care law that has been rejected by the American public, and replace it with a new plan that actually reduces costs. We want to reverse the uncertainty in the marketplace so that small businesses have the confidence to grow and invest and create jobs.
And Republicans want to reverse this nonsense of government bailouts and takeovers of private businesses.
Republicans have proposed real, concrete solutions to the challenges we face as a country.
We have learned the lessons not only of what hasn’t worked over the past two years, but what didn’t work the last time Republicans controlled Congress. Republicans are listening to the frustration being expressed by Americans all across this country, and we are determined to take this country in the right direction.
The choice could not be more clear. Democrats are driving more of the same failed policies they have pushed for the past two years. Republicans are proposing to take this country in a different direction.
So I would like to suggest a simple question people should ask themselves to help cut through all the talk: Are you better off today than you were two years ago? I’m Senator John Thune. Thank you for listening.

Wild Thing's comment.........
Love the way he offered Obama driving instructions: Obama Should “Spend Less Time Campaigning for the Jobs of Democrats and More Time Trying to Create American Jobs”
Obama has been using the stupid driving the car example for months now.
Obama uses his favorite metaphor to criticize the GOP's economic policies. Obama says the GOP left the economy in pieces, like a car in a ditch and now they want the keys back. He says as the Democrats are trying to "pull" the car out of the ditch, the GOP is just sitting back and "sipping on a Slurpee."

League of Women Voters Try to Stop Pledge of Allegiance at Debate
Illinois crowd spontaneously rising to their feet to say the Pledge of Allegiance, even though the League of Women Voters’ Moderator had said they had no plan to do so. A man calls for a point of order to ask the moderator if they are going to say the Pledge, to which the moderator said, “No we are not.” As the moderator tried to explain why they would not be saying the Pledge – the crowd rose to their feet and began saying the Pledge!
Republican Joe Walsh – candidate for Illinois’ 8th Congressional District – says in the video that this was the best part of the entire forum! He is opposing incumbent Democrat Rep. Melissa Bean.

Obama Brands Republicans As Radicals ~ NO Other President Had As Low Class As Obama
Obama brands Republicans as radicals
US President Barack Obama on Friday branded Republicans as radical and reactionary, in campaign appearances for high-profile Democratic senators under threat in November's mid-term polls.
Obama rallied crowds in Los Angeles, California, and was to move on to gambling paradise Nevada in a bid to rescue wobbling Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid, on the third day of a four-day campaign blitz.
He charged that the first Republican president, his political hero Abraham Lincoln would not be able to win the opposition party's presidential nomination in the modern age.
"Seriously, can you imagine him trying to run with these folks?" Obama said, in a bid to portray the Republican Party as outside the mainstream ahead of November 2 congressional polls in which his Democrats fear heavy losses.
Obama accused Republicans of sitting on their hands while he saved the economy from a second Great Depression and of wanting to go back to the same lax regulatory regimes that caused the crisis in the first place.
"This agenda that poses as conservatism is not conservative. It resulted in a radical shift from record surpluses to record deficits, allowed Wall Street to run wild, nearly destroyed our economy," Obama said.
"This is a choice between the past and the future, between fear and hope, between moving backwards and moving forwards. And I don't know about you, but I want to move forward," Obama said, at a campaign event for under-fire Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.
"They are clinging to the same worn-out, tired, snake-oil ideas that they were peddling before."
.
Wild Thing's comment........
And John F. Kennedy couldn’t be nominated by today’s radical liberal Democrat party. What is the president’s point????? Harry Truman couldn’t be nominated by today’s Democrats.
"Seriously, can you imagine him trying to run with these folks?" Obama said, in a bid to portray the Republican Party as outside the mainstream...
Yet, again, he has insulted a huge segment of Americans.
Obama should make up his Kenya Marxist America hating mind. He belly-aches that Republicans refuse to help him, they refuse to help him come up with ideas. Then when they do, he crabs that those ideas have been tried before, and they won’t work!
Everything the man does is planned, intentional, pre-meditated. Anything and Anyone, who is wholesome, natural, common sense is radical to him, compared to him. He has taken the mask off, and more and more people see him clearly. Seriously, the whole regime have given up even trying to hide who they are. And we are in for a wold of hurt if we do not stop them.
Anyone in Congress who does not realize that, is themselves, the enemy as well.

The Obama Tax Hike Exemption Card
Bush tax cuts are about to expire January 1st 2011.
“This card is a tangible reminder that Obama has deliberately broken his central campaign promise not to raise any form of taxes on Americans earning less than $250,000. The last President to break his tax pledge – Bush 41 – served only one term.” – Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform
Source for the card .......CLICK HERE
How to use the card:
Step 1: Present the card to merchants, employers, and tax authorities.
Step 2: If challenged, pleasantly ask: “Are you calling President Obama a liar?”
“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”--Candidate Barack Obama, Sept. 12, 2008
“If your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.”--President Barack Obama, Feb. 24, 2009
“The statement didn’t come with caveats.” --Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs, April 15, 2009, when asked if the pledge applies to healthcare
Wild Thing's comment........
Obama made the famous claim that the middle class, people who make less than $250,000 a year, will not see a tax increase. We all know this is a lie. New government mandates and Obamacare are expensive and will be costly to everyone. Not one group of people will be exempt from these tax hikes.

Typical Democrats and Their Hate Mongering
The Democrats are in total panic in Wisconsin. Here is a new web ad they have put out, that is entirely fear-mongering and name-calling against Republicans. They know they cannot run on their record. So, they resort to this. Expect to see more of this, all across the country, in the last 10 days before the election.

Radical Keith Ellison Supporter Leaves Disgusting Message for Republican Joel Demos (Audio)
Republican Joel Demos, candidate for Minnesota’s congressional District 05, is running against far-left Democrat Keith Ellison. Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress and has been in office since 2007.
Joel, a Pentecostal Minister, received this ugly and disgusting telephone call.
Joel has spent his entire career in the financial sector – real estate, banking, and lending. Currently Joel is employed by TCF bank. He has seen first-hand the damage that well-intentioned, yet poorly planned government interventions can do to the market and he believes that a free and ethical marketplace is the only way to grow economic opportunity for the people.

Cafe Owner Ordered To Remove Extractor Fan...'smell of frying bacon offends Muslims'
Just for you freaking Muslims that read this blog. GEICO PIGGY Commercial ~ LOL I love this one it makes me laugh every time. Geico has such great commercials. ~ Wild Thing

Cafe owner ordered to remove extractor fan because neighbour claimed 'smell of frying bacon offends Muslims'
hard-working cafe owner has been ordered to tear down an extractor fan - because the smell of her frying bacon 'offends' Muslims.
Planning bosses acted against Beverley Akciecek, 49, after being told her next-door neighbour's Muslim friends had felt 'physically sick' due to the 'foul odour'.
Councillors at Stockport Council in Greater Manchester say the smell from the fan is 'unacceptable on the grounds of residential amenity'.
The fan has been in Beverley's Snack Shack takeaway in the Shaw Heath area of the town for the past three years.
Mrs Akciecek and her husband Cetin, 50, - himself a Turkish Muslim - work more than 50 hours a week buying, preparing and cooking hot and cold sandwiches and hot-pots for their customers.
Today mother-of-seven Mrs Akciecek said she plans to appeal against the decision.
She said: 'I just think it's crazy. Cetin's friends actually visit the shop, they're regular visitors, they're Muslim people, they come in a couple of times a week.
'I have Muslim people come in for cheese toasties. Cetin cooks the food himself, he cooks the bacon.
'When we go to a cafe my husband wouldn't be offended by the smell of bacon. His friends are not offended by it, we have three visitors who come here for a sandwich, friends of my husband, and the smell doesn't offend them at all.
'My brother-in-law doesn't flinch if he comes and we've just taken out three trays of bacon.
'I'm going to find a local councillor. I'm waiting for the letter so I can appeal.'
The couple took over the take-away in 2007 from the previous owner and replaced the existing extractor fan, which had been there for six years, with a new modern one.
They claim they received no complaints about the cafe which is open from 7.30am-2.30pm six days a week, until around 18 months ago when they received a letter from environmental services to say their neighbour Graham Webb-Lee had complained about the smell.
Mrs Akciecek said: 'We've never had a problem about the smell because everything is pre-cooked. We cook it in the oven so there's no foul smell.
'It's pre-cooked so the smell isn't as strong when we're frying it off. It's like living next to someone who's cooking a Sunday breakfast but it's not constant it's just in the morning.
'It's been a sandwich shop for about eight years, cooking exactly the same stuff. The lady before me did double because they were actually building new houses across the road so she was really busy. She was here from 6am-4pm because they were so busy.
'They were there before me but they were also there when the lady who owns the business was here and she was doing double what we are. She had five staff, you can imagine how bust that shop was and they never complained at all.'
They say that the council's environmental services had been out to inspect their property after their neighbour complained about a foul odour last year, but they ruled that the smell was not causing a problem.
Mrs Akciecek said: 'Environmental services said everything is ok. They kept coming back and guaging it and said there was no problem and because they didn't take any action (the neighbours) complained again.'
The couple had never applied for planning permission as they had simply replaced an existing extractor fan with one of the same size and in the same position, but, following further complaints from their neighbour, they were informed by the council they would have to apply retrospectively as an objection had been raised.
They applied for planning permission in May this year, but the application was refused at a meeting of Stockport Area Committee on October 14.
Mr Webb-Lee objected to the aplication - complaining that his Muslim friends refused to visit him becase they 'can't stand the smell of bacon'.
Mrs Akciecek, who also attended the meeting, said: 'He said he had a daughter with an eating disorder, the Muslim friends, and the bad smell all the time is making his clothes smell.
'The councillors agreed with him without even asking me what I thought. It was as if they didn't even realise I was there.
'This cafe is our only source of income. There are only two of us working, we haven't got any staff anymore. We work seven hours in the shop and my husband goes to the cash and carry and has all the prep work to do. We're working long hours. He does about 50 hours a week easy and I'm working about the same and we work Saturdays.
'The shop will be a lot harder work. It will be a good hour a day washing the walls down, I will not work anywhere with the grease falling down the walls. We can't move it anywhere.
'I'm not going to accept it and we're going to fight it.'
Mr Webb-Lee said: 'The vent is 12 inches from my front door. Every morning the smell of bacon comes through and makes me physically sick.
'I have a lot of Muslim friends. They refuse to visit me anymore because they can't stand the smell of bacon.'
A spokesman for Stockport Council said: 'The retrospective application was rejected on the grounds of residential amenity, as the committee felt the odours given off from the vent were unacceptable for neighbouring residents.
'We will ensure that the cafe complies with this decision and removes the extractor fan.'
.
Wild Thing's comment...........
Bacon cooking smells good. It will probably have to be replaced with Teargas and later Napalm.
Having a Muslim living next door to me would offend me.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Electioneering And Harassing Poll Watchers
This video above is from August of 2009, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee talks on the phone as a woman asks a question at a town hall event.
.
And now this below........................
.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Broke Laws at Polling Place, Harassed Poll Watchers
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) violated electioneering laws inside a polling place and harassed poll watchers at the Acres Home Multiservice Community Center on October 18th.
Two eyewitness anonymous sources, a poll watcher and an election clerk, who describe Rep. Jackson Lee speaking with and shaking hands of voters inside a polling place located in the same building as her district office and getting in the faces of poll watchers
Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Houston) violated election laws when, on Monday, October 18, she entered into Acres Home Multiservice Community Center, walked to where the voting booths were looking for the poll watchers, greeted voters there, and then found and confronted the poll watchers before being directed to, and then asked by, the presiding judge Bernard Gurski to leave the area.
A source speaking on the condition of anonymity said that she heard people say that Sheila Jackson Lee was in the voting area. The lobby of the building was chaotic because some people were in line to vote and some people were in line for the food bank.
So the source, a poll watcher, went into the room housing the voting booths and there stood Congresswoman Lee shaking hands with voters and greeting others–clearly electioneering. The poll watcher then went to one of the clerks and asked the presiding judge to take care of it.
While this occurred, the poll watcher heard Lee loudly say to the crowd in the voting area,”I’ve heard a lot of complaints about voter intimidation by poll watchers. I am not going to allow voter intimidation.”
The poll watcher started writing the incident down.
Lee then went to the poll watcher and asked,”What’s your name? Who do you represent?”
A poll watcher is not allowed to speak in the polling area, so directed Congresswoman Lee to the presiding judge. The poll watcher said that Congresswoman Lee indicated that she wanted names to report to the Department of Justice for voter intimidation.
The presiding judge asked Congresswoman Lee to leave.
It should be noted that Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s office is also located in the building where voting takes place. In fact, she has to walk past those in line to vote every day on the way to her office.
Both the poll watcher and the presiding judge characterized the relationship between them to be pleasant and mutually respectful. Presiding Judge Gurski seemed more confident in the integrity of the election process than did the poll watcher, however.
The poll watcher observed and documented several violations of election code and characterized the problems as “systemic”.
This account is backed up by another worker there, an election clerk, who also wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. He relayed concern for his safety.
The election clerk described the poll watchers as timid. He said that they stayed out of the way, were quiet and and did not talk to any voters.
He confirms that Congresswoman Lee was, in fact, back near the voting booths and talking to the presiding judge but he did not overhear her conversation but saw her from a distance. He estimated that Sheila Jackson Lee was within 10 feet of the voting machines but was not herself voting. He also witnessed Congresswoman Lee talking to the poll watcher but again, could not hear the contents of the conversation.
The clerk corroborated the poll watcher’s report that there were consistent election law violations in the polling places. He cited many examples including:
- One man asked to vote for Obama and the man was directed to vote down the line Democrat.
- Excessive assistance given at the polling booth to those who were physically able and able to read.
- Election clerks asked leading questions on multiple occasions such as, “You want to vote Democrat, right?” while assisting someone at the voting booth rather then instructing a person how to use the machine to decide himself.
The poll watcher relayed an example where a man clearly wanted to vote for one candidate for Governor and that’s the only race he wanted to vote. The clerk assisting him kept insisting, “you want to vote Democrat, right?” To which the man would respond with the one candidate he wanted to vote for. His ballot eventually was cast with a straight Democrat ticket filled.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This woman’s arrogance is despicable.
Cellphones are not allowed to be used in the polls here in Florida.
The laws don't apply to Democrats at a polling place, so they can't be violated. just ask Attorney General Holder and anyone who tried to vote at a New Black Panthers patrolled polling place in 2008.
Maybe this was the hope and change Oboma campaigned about. So far, he's destroyed the economy, created a record deficit, produced a record number of homeless, set a new food stamp record, lost millions of jobs, so why not destroy the elections, too? He might as well go for it all. His voters would be eternally grateful if he made everyone in the country as miserable and as self loathing as they are.

Harry Reid Says He Saved Nevadans From A “world-wide depression”
Harry Reid actually claiming to have saved Nevadans from a “world-wide depression.” Reid made the claim to MSNBC’s Ed Schultz, and ironically, just moments after calling his GOP opponent in Nevada’s Senate Race – “Extreme, Dangerous, and Embarrassing.”

LOL now that we have established that Harry Reid has lost his mind even more then he already had.
Isn't it something how the left does their lies. And then of course the man and woman that sit there and believe them and nod their head in agreement.
I hope people wake up or get their brain in gear on the lies from the left and how obvious they are.

Megyn Kelly Interviews Horrible CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper
Megyn Kelly to CAIR Exec: 'Happy Now?'
Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in an interview with the National Communications Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). They went back and forth over the firing of liberal commentator Juan Williams by National Public Radio (NPR) simply because he honestly stated on The O’Reilly Factor that he gets nervous on airplanes when he sees people dressed in full Muslim garb. For that, the far-Left NPR – which worships at the altar of political correctness – fired Williams.
Kelly pressed CAIR Director – Ibrahim Hooper – on whether or not he’s “happy now” with the firing. Hooper would never admit they wanted Williams fired, but Kelly was having none of that. She eventually moved on to asking Hooper if he really believes this kind of travesty actually helps his organization in the minds of the American public. It was clear he could not care less about what the public thinks.

CAIR is one of the enemies in our country. During the Bush administration, CAIR was on the FBI terrorist list.
Megyn Kelly rocks!
I’m freaking sick of Muslims telling us what we can/cannot say!
From Jihad Watch ....
Hooper joined roughly a dozen leaders of various Muslim groups in staging a "sit in" in front of the State Department in June 2001. During the event, American Muslim Council Director Ali Ramadan Abu Zakouk "preached violence" by labeling the mass murder of innocent civilians in suicide bombing attacks as a "God-given right."

Obama To Blame!!!! Illinois Soldiers Wait for Ballots. Prisoners Get Hand Delivery
Illinois Soldiers Wait for Ballots. Prisoners Get Hand Delivery
Over 35 counties in Illinois missed the deadline to mail military ballots to our soldiers defending America. But in Chicago, county election officials have taken special steps to ensure that no inmates at the Cook County Jail are unable to cast a ballot.
The Chicago Board of Elections hand delivers ballots to the jail. They don’t even wait for the inmates to apply – they bring the applications with the ballots! Over 2,600 inmates have cast ballots so far – strikingly similiar to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not recieve a ballot for the Nov 2 election.
After the 2008 election, there was much controversy over the fact that over-seas military ballots were not counted, or were not returned quick enough or never even got out to the troops in the first place. Was that an oversight error or a conspiracy?
Since it occurred predominantly in blue districts and states, I say conspiracy. In other words, the troops voices were not accidentally silenced. Oh no, they were purposefully left out of the process.
Because two thirds of military personell tend to vote conservative, dhimmicrats are not interested in their opinion or their vote.
The MOVE act of 2009 was passed, yes by a dhimmicrat controlled congress and signed into law by the dhimmi-est of dhimmicrats- Obama; but in their minds it was just a smoke screen, tossing a bone to the barking dogs. They knew that 2 years out they would ignore it and again make sure that Americans "stupid enough to serve their country" would again be denied the opportunity to participate in the leadership selection process.
And yep , the deadline for shipping out the ballots has come and gone. Once again thousands and thousands of conservative votes have ALREADY been dismissed. In this election, especially in Illinois, more ballots from dead people and convicts will be counted than ballots from soldiers.

Wild Thing's comment........
Disgraceful does not begin to describe nor come close to how I feel about this happening. It makes my blood boil how our warriors are treated.
Democrats do not want our military to vote. Time after time they prove this.
This is yet another slap in the face to Americans. The liberals fight tooth and nail to make sure it is easy for illegals of all strips to vote. All the while making it as difficult as possible for those who pay the bills with blood and treasure.

Republican Senator Jim DeMint has confirmed that he will introduce legislation to cut federal funding from NPR after they fired analyst Juan Williams for makinginsensitive comments about Muslims on Fox. The Right’s war on NPR has begun in earnest!
Last night The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly followed his Fox colleague Mike Huckabee in calling for “an immediate suspension of all public money going to NPR” because of Williams’ firing. He also added, “We understand [South Carolina] Senator Jim Demint will legislation to defund that enterprise. No taxpayer money should be going to an outfit that abuses free speech.”

That NPR CEO Vivian Schiller is really horrible.
The thing about this whole thing is that it is happening to many people. PC has destroyed so much of our freedom of speech and that is what this is about. Juan simply stated how he felt and he got fired. We have heard about this kind of thing happening with others, and schools doing this to students as well. It has to be stopped.

GOP Congressional Candidate Stephen Broden: "violent overthrow of government is 'on the table"
Stephen Broden's benediction. It's a heck of a benediction. He is wonderful! I found this at YouTube it is a good sample of what he is like. ~ Wild Thing

GOP congressional candidate Stephen Broden says violent overthrow of government is 'on the table'
Republican congressional candidate Stephen Broden stunned his party Thursday, saying he would not rule out violent overthrow of the government if elections did not produce a change in leadership.
In a rambling exchange during a TV interview, Broden, a South Dallas pastor, said a violent uprising "is not the first option," but it is "on the table." That drew a quick denunciation from the head of the Dallas County GOP, who called the remarks "inappropriate."
Broden, a first-time candidate, is challenging veteran incumbent Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson in Dallas' heavily Democratic 30th Congressional District. Johnson's campaign declined to comment on Broden.
In the interview, Brad Watson, political reporter for WFAA-TV (Channel 8), asked Broden about a tea party event last year in Fort Worth in which he described the nation's government as tyrannical.
"We have a constitutional remedy," Broden said then. "And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."
Watson asked if his definition of revolution included violent overthrow of the government. In a prolonged back-and-forth, Broden at first declined to explicitly address insurrection, saying the first way to deal with a repressive government is to "alter it or abolish it."
"If the government is not producing the results or has become destructive to the ends of our liberties, we have a right to get rid of that government and to get rid of it by any means necessary," Broden said, adding the nation was founded on a violent revolt against Britain's King George III.
Watson asked if violence would be in option in 2010, under the current government.
"The option is on the table. I don't think that we should remove anything from the table as it relates to our liberties and our freedoms," Broden said, without elaborating. "However, it is not the first option."

If the ‘RATS steal this election too, I wouldn’t rule it out either.
No one here at this blog, but many other people have forgotten the true purpose of the bill of rights.. At least the first 10
Those rights outlined were written by revolutionaries that fought hard to throw off the yoke of trynnany... And since they understood man is not perfect... And the power corrupts... wanted to insure the people had the ability to do it again.
Stephen Broden understands that we the people are going to be very, very upset if the direction the country is going isn’t change.
Rush stated this entire quote on his show Thursday, and it bears repeating:
Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than live as slaves. -Sir Winston Churchill
This video below is a speech he gave......Stephen Broden on Conservatism . He really is awesome, I sure hope he wins.

Soros Donates $1 Million to Media Matters To Go After FOX News Channel
Soros Donates $1 Million to Media Matters
Media Matters, the liberal activist group that wages a rhetorical war against Fox News Channel and others in the conservative press, will announce on Wednesday the receipt of a $1 million donation from the philanthropist George Soros.
In a statement obtained by The Caucus, the organization says it plans to use the money to intensify its efforts to hold the Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.
“Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends,” the group will say in the statement, to be released Wednesday afternoon.
In an accompanying statement, Mr. Soros, a billionaire who has a history of supporting liberal politicians and causes, accused Fox News hosts of “incendiary rhetoric” and said he hoped that his money would be used “in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.”
For years, conservatives have accused Media Matters of being a front organization for Mr. Soros. In May, Mr. Beck referred to Media Matters as “the left-wing George Soros-funded media machine that is now referring to me as a jihadist.” In 2007, Fox’s Sean Hannity called it “Hillary Clinton’s George Soros-funded group Media Matters.”
Officials at Media Matters regularly deny that they have ever taken money from Mr. Soros, who repeats that denial in Wednesday’s statement, saying, “I have not to date been a funder” of the liberal organization. Now, he will officially be a donor, and likely a fresh target for criticism from the right.

Soros is devil spawn. Where does he hide when it is daylight?
WOW, Glenn hit a nerve reporting last night on his TV show. He exposed Soros's history of currency manipulation and Anti-American agenda. Massive funding of Tides foundation and other leftists groups.
Heh heh and of course Fox appreciates the extra publicity but Media Matters has almost zero influence. Now that it's publicly acknowledged that it's being funded by Soros they are noisy wasps without stingers.
Soros has been Obama's puppet master.
Check out othis website, whoever it belongs to had done extensive work on gathering information about Soros.

Juan Williams Tells The Truth and NPR Ends Analyst Contract After Comments on Muslims
NPR Ends Analyst’s Contract After Comments on Muslims
NPR has terminated its contract with Juan Williams, one of its senior news analysts, after he made comments about Muslims on the Fox News Channel.
NPR said in a statement that it gave Mr. Williams notice of his termination on Wednesday night.
The move came after Mr. Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. On the show, the host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.” Mr. O’Reilly said, “The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet.”
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O’Reilly.
He continued: “I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. “He said the war with Muslims, America’s war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don’t think there’s any way to get away from these facts,” Mr. Williams said.
NPR said in its statement that the remarks “were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”
The public radio organization said it thanked him for many years of service. Mr. Williams did not immediately respond on Wednesday night to an e-mail seeking comment.
Mr. Williams’s contributions on Fox raised eyebrows at NPR in the past. In February 2009, NPR said it had asked that he stop being identified on “The O’Reilly Factor” as a “senior correspondent for NPR,” even though that title was accurate.
.
Firing offense: NPR axes Juan Williams for opinions on Muslims & post-9/11 travel
Un-freaking-believable.
Cable news blogger Johnny Dollar red-flagged NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik’s Twitter feed, which announced tonight that liberal NPR analyst/Fox News contributor Juan Williams’ contract was terminated — over comments Williams made about Muslims on The O’Reilly Factor. He gave his honest opinion: “[W]hen I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Guess who stirred up the pot to get Williams fired?
Think Progress and the Huffington Post:
That’s right. Government-funded NPR has apparently caved into left-wing attack dogs on the Internet.
Also in the lynch mob: CAIR, of course.
As I’ve said many times before: Political correctness is the handmaiden of terror.
Condolences to Juan Williams, whom I’ve debated –vigorously, but always with respect and cordiality — many times over the years.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Juan Williams tells the truth, and NPR give him the boot.I’m so fed-up with political correctness especially when it comes to Muslims. I have always liked Juan even though he is a dem. He has always been polite. Juan is one of the good guys on the left, he can disagree and not threaten the person he disagree's with. He is not a Chris Matthews or any of the other POS on the left.

Obama To Buy Indian Vote With Our Tax Dollars
American Indian Farmers Are Offered $680 Million
The Obama administration agreed Tuesday to pay up to $680 million to American Indian farmers to settle an 11-year-old class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who took office promising to address longstanding complaints by minority farmers against the department, said eligible farmers and ranchers can receive up to $250,000 each for showing that USDA discrimination caused them economic losses. However, most farmers will probably opt for a uniform $50,000 payment, which involves less red tape.
In the class-action suit, American Indian farmers allege that USDA bureaucrats denied them the low-interest rate loans given to white farmers between 1981 and 2007.
The American Indian class-action lawsuit has long been overshadowed by similar discrimination litigation brought by black farmers against the USDA. The Obama administration reached a $1.25 billion settlement with black farmers in February, but Congress has yet to appropriate that money.
Unlike the suit by black farmers, the money to settle the litigation by American Indian farmers is coming from an existing federal judgment fund—managed by the Justice Department and Treasury Department—which is used to pay for litigation involving the government.
The amount of money that the federal government will eventually pay to American Indian farmers is far from clear in large part because it is hard to estimate how many farmers will file claims.
According to the most recent USDA census of agriculture, which was conducted in 2007, nearly 35,000 American Indians made the day-to-day decisions for a farm or ranch. Before the 2007 census, however, the population of American Indian farmers is murkier because the government often counted an entire reservation as one farm operation.

Troops chafe at restrictive rules of engagement, talks with Taliban
Afghanistan: American Troop Morale Plummets as ROE Continue to Tighten, “They Won’t Let us Fight – War is War and This is No War, I Don’t Know What This is
KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN
To the U.S. Army soldiers and Marines serving here, some things seem so obviously true that they are beyond debate. Among those perceived truths: The restrictive rules of engagement that they have to fight under have made serving in combat far more dangerous for them, while allowing the Taliban to return to a position of strength.
“If they use rockets to hit the [forward operating base] we can’t shoot back because they were within 500 meters of the village. If they shoot at us and drop their weapon in the process we can’t shoot back,” said Spc. Charles Brooks, 26, a U.S. Army medic with 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, in Zabul province.
Word had come down the morning Brooks spoke to this reporter that watch towers surrounding the base were going to be dismantled because Afghan village elders, some sympathetic to the Taliban, complained they were invading their village privacy. “We have to take down our towers because it offends them and now the Taliban can set up mortars and we can’t see them,” Brooks added, with disgust.
In June, Gen. David Petraeus, who took command here after the self-inflicted demise of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, told Congress that he was weighing a major change with rules for engaging enemy fighters in Afghanistan. That has not yet happened, troops say. Soldiers and Marines continue to be held back by what they believe to be strict rules imposed by the government of President Hamid Karzai designed with one objective: limit Afghan civilian casualties.
“I don’t think the military leaders, president or anybody really cares about what we’re going through,” said Spc. Matthew “Silver” Fuhrken, 25, from Watertown, N.Y. “I’m sick of people trying to cover up what’s really going on over here. They won’t let us do our job. I don’t care if they try to kick me out for what I’m saying — war is war and this is no war. I don’t know what this is.”
To the soldiers and Marines risking their lives in Afghanistan, restrictions on their ability to aggressively attack the Taliban have led to another enormous frustration stalking morale: the fear that the Karzai government, with the prodding of the administration of President Obama, will negotiate a peace with the Taliban that wastes all the sacrifices by the U.S. here.
Those fears intensified when news reached the enlisted ranks that the Karzai government, with the backing of senior Obama officials, was entering a new round of negotiations with the Taliban.
“If we walk away, cut a deal with the Taliban, desert the people who needed us most, then this war was pointless,” said Pvt. Jeffrey Ward, with 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, who is stationed at Forward Operating Base Bullard in southern Afghanistan.
"Everyone dies for their own reasons but it's sad to think that our friends, the troops, have given their lives for something we're not going to see through."
Other soldiers agreed. They said they feared few officials in the Pentagon understand the reality on the ground.
From the front lines, the U.S. backing of the Karzai government, widely seen as riddled with corruption by the Afghans living in local villages, has given the Taliban a position of power in villages while undercutting U.S. moral authority.
Corrupt government officials have made "it impossible for us to trust anyone," said elder Sha Barar, from the village of Sha Joy. The people of that village and many others profess fear of the Taliban, and recount tales of brutality and wanton killings by the Taliban and their sympathizers. But they don't see the Karzai government as a positive force in their lives.
Karzai said that talks need to continue with the Taliban "at a fixed address and with a more open agenda to tell us how to bring peace to Afghanistan and Pakistan."
But U.S. troops and Marines interviewed during the past month in Afghanistan question what negotiations would really mean, to both them and the Afghan people. And they almost universally believe that negotiating would be a mistake before achieving decisive gains they believe are attainable once oppressive rules of engagement are relaxed.
"What does it mean if we give in to the Taliban? They are the enemy," Brooks said. "This place is going to be a safe haven for terrorists again. The government doesn't care about the sacrifices already made. As far as the mission goes, I want to see these kids go to school and have a future but not at the expense of my friends -- not anymore."

DAMN Obama striaght to hell!!!
More and more of our guys are going to die over these senseless ROE's.
All politicians who aid and abet these rules, and who support talks with the taliban, deserve to be run out of office.
The taliban wants nothing out of these talks except time. Time to regroup, resupply, and refit. How can our dumb leaders not see this???
Barak Hussaine Obama should be tried for treason....absolutel TREASON by Obama.
And to think that he is preventing our soldiers from voting is enough to make my eyes bleed.

A Reporter Asks Gibbs Why Does Obama Leave "Creator" out of Declaration of Independence
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs being asked today why President Obama has, on two occasions (according to the reporter), publicly left the phrase endowed “by their Creator” out of his quoting of the Declaration of Independence. Reporter Lester Kinsolving asked Gibbs the question, and got one of Gibbs’ typical, arrogant non-answers. Gibbs responded that he can assure us that the President “believes in the Declaration of Independence.” But that’s not what he was asked?
Kinsolving then followed up by asking if President Obama’s recent assertion in a “Rolling Stone” interview that “Fox News is bad for the country” also applies to Talk Radio. Gibbs mocked Kinsolving by asking him if he is a “subscriber” to “Rolling Stone,” to the laughter of Gibbs’ lapdogs in the media. Kinsolving is one of the few in the White House Press Corps who will ask these kinds of tough questions, but he is always treated with disdain and disrespect by this clown of a Press Secretary.
This is a big deal because that phrase – “by their Creator” – makes an enormous difference. Without it, it is easy to believe that our rights and our liberty are creations of man, and can be given or taken away by the whims of Government. But if we have been endowed by the Creator with the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” then it is the prerogative of no man or Government to seize or abridge those rights – not even Barack Obama. Obama’s philosophy of Government is much more comfortable without “by their Creator.” But like it or not, it is there – and always will be – in the Declaration of Independence.
.
Obama Omits “Creator” From Declaration of Independence For Third Time
During a speech Monday, President Barack Obama once again omitted the Declaration of Independence‘s mention of man’s “Creator” as the source of his “unalienable rights.” While delivering remarks at a dinner fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) in Rockville, Md., President Obama spoke about what he called the “essence” of the upcoming midterm election:
As wonderful as the land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire, and said, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
This isn’t the first time the president has selectively edited the Declaration in not acknowledging the role of God in bestowing these rights upon man. During a Sept. 15 speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Annual Awards Gala, the president omitted the religious reference, but the White House dismissed criticism, saying that Obama “went off script and adlibbed when he made that mistake.”
But just a week later, the President made the exact same “mistake” speaking during another fundraiser, this time in New York City.

Rush Limbaugh Let's Darrell Issa Know Where We The People Stand!
This is over the story that surfaced that Republicans plan to compromise with the Administration, Darrell Issa called into the EIB network yesterday. Issa promises that there will be no compromise but Rush spoke directly to him about what the American people are saying in this election
RUSH: "The people that are gonna secure the Republican victory look at Barack Obama as someone who is destroying their country, he is not somebody to be compromised with, somebody that needs to be stopped....The idea that you're gonna end up working with him is anathema, people want this man stopped, that's why this profound turnout is gonna happen. The idea that your gonna work with him on a budget-we want him defeated...
Congressman, people don't care about how the House runs, they don't care about open debates, they care about stopping Obama and the Democrats, they care about saving the country, they don't care if Obama goes to jail, they don't if Axelrod goes to jail-they want them stopped, they want them to have no power, they want Obama stopped...It's Obama and the Democrats in total stopped, it's not more complicated than that"

Thank you Rush!!! AMEN Rush!
The American people will not stay home. They will continue the fight until this war is won and we clean the political sewer of RATs and RINOs. There is no place in our Congress for enemies of We The People and freedom. We don’t want progressivism lite. We want our country and our government back under the control of We the People.

Military Recruiters Must Accept Gay Applicants
The military is accepting openly gay recruits for the first time in the nation's history, even as it tries in the courts to slow the movement to abolish its 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.
AP
The Pentagon is instructing military recruiters to accept the applications of gays and lesbians who wish to join the military, but must inform potential recruits that a moratorium on "don't ask, don't tell" could be lifted at any moment.
The guidance issued to military recruits is consistent with the Defense Department's plans to abide by a federal judge's injunction on the 17-year ban on gays in the military. The Pentagon advised senior military leaders late last week not to ask service members or military applicants about their sexual orientation, to treat the rank and file with dignity and respect and maintain good order and discipline.

It’s Official: Obama Has Now Borrowed $3 Trillion As He Continues To Destroy America
FBN's David Asman sounds off on what the government must do to kick-start the economy.
.
The Obama administration has now borrowed $3 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. But look what we have for it… 9.6% unemployment and a record national deficit.
It took from 1776, when the United States became an independent country, until 1990, the year after the Berlin Wall fell signaling victory in the Cold War, for the federal government to accumulate a total of $3 trillion in debt, according to the Treasury Department. It only took from Jan. 20, 2009, the day President Barack Obama was inaugurated, until Oct. 15, 2010, for the Obama administration to add $3 trillion to the federal debt.
The overall debt of the federal government, according to the Treasury Department, is now $13.666 trillion.
Each business day, in the afternoon, the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Public Debt publishes the exact amount—to the penny--of total federal debt as of the close of the previous business day.
At the close of business on Jan. 20, 2009, according to the bureau, the total debt of the federal government was $10,626,877,048,913.08. On Oct. 15, 2010, the federal government borrowed an additional $58,979,549,154.06, bringing the total federal debt at the close of Friday’s business day to $13,665,926,643,255.96—an increase of $3,039,049,594,342.88 since President Obama’s inauguration.
As calculated by the Bureau of the Public Debt, the total federal debt includes two major components: debt held by the public, which includes publicly traded securities such as Treasury bonds, and intragovernmental debt, which is money the government borrows from theoretically dedicated funds within the government itself, such as the Social Security trust fund.
.
Opinion: Just How Lousy Is the Economic Recovery?
Indeed, when you compare the current recovery to the recoveries from the two previous worst post-Depression recessions -- the one in 1974-75 and the one in 1981-82 -- the picture is decidedly bleak.
Obama's response to this has been to say that he was dealt a terrible hand, and to say that things could have been worse if it weren't for the all the things he's done since taking office. "The challenge," he said at the Sept. town hall, "is that the hole was so deep that a lot of people out there are still hurting."
But the evidence from past recoveries shows that things could be -- and arguably should be -- much better than they are now. Which strongly suggests that, however bad the recession was, something the federal government is doing today is putting a drag on the normal recovery trajectory.
Only by admitting there's a problem will we ever have a chance of getting the current recovery back on track.

Your Vote Is Your Voice---Fraud Is The Wildcard by By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Your Vote Is Your Voice---Fraud Is The Wildcard
By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
The upcoming midterm elections are critical if patriots are to take back our government from the corruption which drives Fedzilla. We already have seen that those promising ‘hope and change’ has taken many hostages---our healthcare choices, rational cost-effective energy policy which has a lot to do with national security in an ever-threatening world of Islamic terrorism, and control of our borders which no longer exists. There are plenty of committed patriots running against the career incumbents who are guilty of bankrupting and destroying the fabric of America.
YOU have a choice to make and your choice is represented by your vote. This is no time for apathy or complacency.
Do you want America to survive or to go down in history as a failed experiment?
Voting to support the criminals who hate America, or not voting at all, is nothing short of national suicide, and we are well down that road with Barry Soetoro’s anti-American administration and their accomplices in Congress. The great ship of America is sinking and we must first plug the holes. Only then can we start bailing the water out.
The right to cast your vote is an important right, but there remains an ever-increasing problem with elections in America----fraud which is committed at many levels and which can result in shaping election outcomes against the will of voters. This happened in Minnesota and Texas amongst many other states in 2008. There are numerous special interest groups who are too willing to participate in fraudulent schemes for selfish benefit. The unions are but one example.
Another is deprivation of our overseas military personnel of their right to vote. States must ship paper ballots as soon as possible after the primaries so that our soldiers can vote in timely fashion in the midterm elections. Question: In the age of computers and barcodes, why do our military personnel not vote electronically? Answer: Our government is irresponsible.
Then we have the problem of allowing the dead and convicted felons to vote. The only way the dead can vote is by some living person who knowingly uses a deceased person’s identity. And boards of election should have in place a process to validate the eligibility of all ballots cast so that only living eligible persons can vote and only once.
So what can you do to help prevent voter fraud? Citizens should call their Board of Elections supervisor and inquire as to what safeguards they have in place to make sure that all votes counted are valid living individuals who are eligible and that duplication cannot occur.
Anyone who found guilty of committing voting fraud should be barred from voting and stiff penalties imposed by law, since they sabotage the process upon which our liberty is based. Make the call! Inquire! Volunteer to assist! Your vote is your voice and We The People collectively have the obligation to ensure that safeguards are in place to prevent fraud at the polls.

The Rent Is Too Damn High Party's Jimmy McMillan at the NY Governor Debate
In a debate expected to be dominated by top New York governor candidates Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino, Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party provided the fireworks. Watch his views on karate, gay marriage, and, well, rent.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I googled "The Rent is to damn high" and found this.....
http://www.rentistoodamnhigh.org/id85.html
I never heard of this guy before.
And this is From Wikipedia:
Jimmy McMillan, also known as Papa Smurf,[1] is the founder of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, a New York-based political party. McMillan is the party's current nominee for governor of New York State[2]. In 2005 and 2009. McMillan was the party's mayoral candidate[3][4] for New York City.
In 2005, he received over 1000 votes[5] (.03% of the total vote). In 2009, he received 2615 votes for his second campaign for Mayor.[6]
McMillan has recently stated his views on gay marriage, by saying "The Rent Is Too Damn High Party believes that if you want to marry a shoe, I'll marry you." Regarding his use of black gloves, McMillan said: "I’m a war vet," McMillan said. "Don’t forget I was in Vietnam for two and half years and I have three Bronze Stars, but the chemicals of Agent Orange -- dioxin and a lot of other chemicals mixed up -- I would get sick. When I get home tonight, I know I’m not going to be able to breathe if I take them off. It could be psychological, I don’t know, but I just put em on and wear them anyway."

Question For You Obama.....Where Are The Jobs????
This is a new ad put out by GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner which repeatedly asks the key question of this year’s Midterm Elections: “Where are the jobs?”
Wild Thing's comment........
Excellent ad. The thing he Obama loves to say how many jobs he has brought on but they have all been government jobs and no where near the number he quotes. Also what the heck is that anyway. We citizens American dream is not to work for BIG Borther, but to work in the private world away from government. Obama is famous, Infamous for killing jobs, killing business and THAT is one of the many things he will OWN for the rest of his miserable ugly life.
America would be so much better off if Obama was not president, if he lived in some other country and we had never heard of this POS!

Behind The Scenes At WH About The November Election
CBS's White House correspondent Chip Reid with the President at a rally in Columbus Sunday night tells us what's going on behind the scenes at the White House (The exact opposite of what Robert Gibbs said on Meet the Press Sunday morning)
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I have been trying hard not to post any predictions. I don't want to jinx the election outcome for our side. You know like the predictions from Dick Morris and others that are making lists of how many will win etc. It just is too scary to think we might not do well.
This video is not that kind of prediction that might mess us up. It is simply how Obama and his WH are ' feeling'. That touchie feelie liberal thing like the song goes.... " Feelings' .
Let's keep at it we are getting closer then ever to Nov.

95-Year-Old NYC Man Gets Medal for WWII Rescue
NEW YORK (Oct. 17)
The U.S. government has recognized the World War II architect of a mission to rescue more than 500 U.S. bomber fliers shot down over Nazi-occupied Serbia - the largest air rescue of Americans behind enemy lines in any war.
George Vujnovich, a 95-year-old New Yorker, is credited with leading the so-called Halyard Mission in what was then Yugoslavia.
On Sunday, he was awarded the U.S. Bronze Star Medal, presented by Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., at Manhattan's St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral. Vujnovich received a standing ovation from a crowd of several hundred church members, supporters, friends and officials.
"Better now than never," says Vujnovich, a retired salesman who lives in Queens.
He was an officer of the OSS, the precursor of today's CIA, when about 500 pilots and other airmen were downed over Serbia in the summer of 1944 while on bombing runs targeting Hitler's oil fields in Romania, according to U.S. government field station files, stored in the National Archives.
The airmen were hidden in villages by Serbian guerrilla fighter Draza Mihailovich, leader of the Chetniks, whom Yugoslav communist officials considered to be Germany's collaborators.
"This mission would not have succeeded without the great courage of Draza Mihailovich and his brave men," said Vujnovich, a Serbian-American and a Pittsburgh native who was stationed in Bari, Italy.
It was no small feat to convince American officials to allow him to work with Mihailovich on the clandestine mission, dubbed Halyard, meaning a rope used to hoist sails. By then, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had decided to follow British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's lead, abandoning support for Mihailovich in favor of the Yugoslav communists, the strongest grass-roots guerrilla force fighting the invading Nazis and Italian fascists.
Mihailovich had been a prewar military officer who launched the first Balkan resistance to the Nazis in 1941, before also turning against the communists led by Marshal Josip Broz Tito.
"Vujnovich is the one who sold the mission to U.S. officials, he pushed hard," said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Steven Oluic, a former West Point professor who prepared the award submission for the Department of the Army.
On Aug. 2, 1944, three OSS agents strapped with radio transmitters were airdropped near Mihailovich's headquarters to set up the operation.
Dozens of U.S. military cargo planes flew in over the months to pick up the airmen as they were downed. Serbian villagers had helped them build an airstrip by the village of Pranjani.
"We owe Vujnovich big time," says Charles L. Davis III, 91, of Church Falls, Va., a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel who was rescued.
As a bombardier navigator, he was part of a crew of 10 on a B-24 Liberator plane crippled after losing three of its four engines.
The fliers parachuted into a mountainous region where local farmers brought them to their houses and barns. During the next 66 days, the Americans moved each night to a different location so as not to be captured by the occupying Germans.
Yugoslavia's postwar communist authorities convicted Mihailovich of collaborating with the Nazis in a hasty trial in 1946, and he was executed.
In 1948, U.S. President Harry Truman posthumously bestowed the Legion of Merit on the Serb for the rescue - an honor classified secret by the U.S. State Department for decades, so as not to disrupt the rather friendly U.S. policy toward Yugoslavia.
The secrecy underscores long-lasting divisions in Serbia stemming from World War II; some Serbs still believe Mihailovich was a victim of communist repression, while others view him as a traitor.
The story is told in a 2007 book titled "The Forgotten 500," by Gregory Freeman.

HONORING CAPTAIN GEORGE M. VUJNOVICH
Extension of Remarks Submitted by Rep. Dan Burton
September 28, 2010
Dan Burton Member of Congress
Madame Speaker, as co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Serbian Caucus, I rise tonight to honor an outstanding Serbian-American, Captain (Ret.) George M. Vujnovich, who was recently awarded the Bronze Star Medal, for his heroic actions during World War II.
The Bronze Star is awarded to military service personnel for bravery, acts of merit or meritorious service. When awarded for bravery, it is the fourth-highest combat award of the United States Armed Forces. Captain Vujnovich’s participation in the planning and execution of Operation Halyard – one of the most successful air force rescue missions in history; and an operation so secret that the records were only declassified in 1997 – certainly exemplifies the heroism required to receive this prestigious military honor.
Captain Vujnovich served with the Office of Strategic Services; the predecessor of the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the wartime organization charged with coordinating activities behind enemy lines for the branches of the United States military. Operation Halyard evolved in wake of the Allied bombing campaign to destroy Nazi Germany's vast network of petroleum resources in occupied Eastern Europe. The most vital target of bombing was the facilities located in Ploesti, Romania, which supplied 35 percent of Germany's wartime petroleum. Beginning in April 1944, bombers of the Fifteenth Allied Air Force began a relentless campaign to blast the heavily guarded facilities in Ploesti in an attempt to halt petroleum production altogether. By August, Ploesti was virtually destroyed — but at the cost of 350 bombers lost, with their crews either killed, captured, or missing in action.
The assault on Ploesti forced hundreds of Allied airmen to bail out over Nazi-occupied eastern Serbia, an area patrolled by the Allied-friendly Chetnik guerrilla army. When the Chetnik commander, General Draza Mihailovich, realized that Allied airmen were parachuting into his territory, he ordered his troops, as well as the local peasantry, to aid the aviators by taking them to Chetnik headquarters in Pranjani, Serbia for evacuation.
General Mihailovich's attempts to alert American authorities to the situation regrettably initially failed to produce action. Fortunately, fate would have it that when Mirjana Vujnovich, a Serb employee of the Yugoslav embassy in Washington, D.C., heard of the trapped airmen, and immediately wrote to her husband, Captain Vujnovich, stationed in Bari, Italy. As an American, descending from Serb parents, Vujnovich knew the region intimately and also knew how to escape from Nazi-occupied territory: he had been a medical student in Belgrade when Yugoslavia fell to the Axis powers in 1941, and he and his wife spent months sneaking through minefields and begging for visas before they finally escaped from Nazi-occupied Europe.
Captain Vujnovich made it his personally crusade to get the airmen home. From the outset though, Operation Halyard encountered opposition from Allied leaders — from the U.S. State Department, from communist sympathizers in the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), even from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself. It was an operation that seemed condemned from the start, but Captain Vujnovich’s persevered rather than let the mission die. His persistence not to be in vain, eventually he won out. Even thought the operation endured from August 9, 1944 through December 27, 1944, within only the first two days, Operation Halyard successfully retrieved 241 American and Allied airmen. By the time the Operation was officially ended, Vujnovich's team had airlifted 512 downed Allied airmen to safety without the loss of a single life or aircraft — a truly impressive accomplishment.
Captain George Vujnovich’s recognition as a hero and valued asset to this country and the United States Air Force is long over due. Frankly, had the records of the operation not remained sealed until 1997, I feel certain Captain Vujnovich would have received this honor years ago. Nevertheless, the decades do not and cannot diminish the valor and patriotism of this extraordinary man. I ask all my colleagues to join me now to honor this Serbian-American hero, to thank him for his dedicated service to our country and to congratulate him for winning the Bronze Star. Captain Vujnovich, I salute you.

"Man Up Harry Reid" ......Sharron Angle Wins Debate
.
Angle Asks Reid How He Made So Much Money As Senator
.
Sharron Angle trounced the four-term Democrat Senate incumbent and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at their Las Vegas debate.
He preposterously called George W. Bush “his friend” (after infamously branding him a “loser“), claimed credit for the surge in Iraq (after questioning General Petraeus’s competence and character), and became a new convert to the English First movement (after having voted against such a proclamation in 2006. In an instant-made-for-political-ad-classic, Angle challenged the entrenched incumbent’s wealth.
A miffed Reid referred to himself as a “fixed income” peon…who happens to live in the Ritz-Carlton.
And in the quotable quote of the night, Angle pricked Reid’s delusions about the teetering Social Security system with two terse words:
“Man up.”
In the highlight of a debate both major Nevada newspapers say Sharron Angle won, she challenges Sen. Harry Reid to “man up” about Social Security’s financial problems.

Media Whore Airhead Dysfunctional Democrat Mouth Meghan McCain Needs To Come Out Of The Closet
Meghan McCain: O'Donnell seen as 'nut job'
“Dirty, Sexy Politics” author Meghan McCain slammed Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell on ABC's “This Week” on Sunday, calling her candidacy “scary.”
"I speak as a 26-year-old woman, and my problem is that, no matter what, Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office," McCain told host Christiane Amanpour. "She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business."
McCain said that O'Donnell's lack of experience sends the wrong message to her generation that “one day you can just wake and run for Senate, no matter how [much of] a lack of experience you have.”
"I just know, in my group of friends, it turns people off because she's seen as a nut job," McCain said.
“And it scary for me for a lot of reasons."
Diving into the debate about the future of the tea party movement, McCain said that it was “losing young voters at a rapid rate.”
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Before I start in on this creep Meghan McCain. I want to share with you that the debate that Christine O'Donnell did was extremely impressive. She was calm and hit the mark every time she answered. Her voice is a calming voice and not screachy or annoying at all. I was very impressed with her responses. U.S. Senate candidates Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons faced off in Delaware Wednesday night in a nationally televised debate.
CNN Debate: Christine O'Donnell: Coons has Marxist beliefs ~ Video from debate
Meghan McCain learned well from her father...the best way to get the MSM to like you is to attack conservatives.
Someone please tell her that her 15mins of fame were up LONGGGG ago.
She says she is a Republican, she also voted for Hanoi John Kerry the year her Dad ran opposite Bush and her Dad lost. She has been bashing Conservatives since the lights went out on the McCain/Palin campaign. She has slandered and bashed Sarah Palin, and other conservative women and men running for office. Written her stupid columns for various places online that let her play at being a journalist.
She needs to stop calling herself a Republican and come out of the closet as to what she really is .......a DEMOCRAT. She is the most obnoxious RINO in history. Please defect to the dems, Meghan. PLEASE!
She is NOBODY, people. If her nonsense weren't reported on, she would just disappear.
Meagan McCain states about O’Connell “She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business.”
What history has Meagan McCain got except she is the fat daughter of Sen. John McPain. and in my circle of friends Meagan McCain is known as a nut job.
She also knows nothing about her generation. I would love to see the Young Conservatives groups take her on it would be an easy victory against her for sure.
Another quote of her's recently was ......Meghan McCain: “I am a progressive Republican”
A Progressive Republican what the hell is that?

Obama Has Defied His Constitutional Duty
Congressman Steve King of Iowa's 5th District is not the first person to say that President Obama has been violating the Constitution. This time, Obama has been not fulfilling his constitutional duty to protect the borders by allowing thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants to pour across our borders.
"I have been in the business of embarrassing this administration in to enforcing immigration," Rep. King said to me at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention in Richmond, Virginia. The Congressman went on to say that the most important part of immigration reform is the new I.D.E.A. Act, which he introduced in this Congress, and will re-introduce in 2011.

Joe has done it again. When you think he can’t top his previous goofy statements, he comes through in the clutch!
Here is video of Vice-President Joe Biden introducing Obama yesterday at an event for Delaware Senate Democrat Chris Coons. Biden heaps effusive praise on Obama, and says:
“This guy has a backbone like a ramrod. I kid him – he’s got a brain bigger than his skull, and a heart to match both. This is a man who knows what has to be done. This is a man who’s not afraid to take tough decisions.”

Clinton Aide Wanted Iraq to Shoot Down US Plane
Clinton Aide Wanted Iraq to Shoot Down US Plane
Gen. Hugh Shelton's new memoir contains this odd nugget, notes Justin Elliott at Salon: In 1997, one of Bill Clinton's Cabinet members suggested that Shelton order a US plane to fly low over Baghdad so Saddam would shoot it down and, ta da, give America instant justification for war.
"I was so mad I was about to explode," recounts Shelton, thinking about the sacrificial pilot.
“Why, of course we can,” he responded. "Just as soon as we get your ass qualified to fly it, I will have it flown just as low and slow as you want to go.”
The memoir doesn't name the Cabinet member, but Elliott notes that the way the passage is written leaves Madeleine Albright as a distinct possibility.

Whoever did say such a thing is despicable .
Saddam shot at our Pilots for 8 years under Clinton, America already had justification for war.
Shelton order a US plane to fly low over Baghdad so Saddam would shoot it down and, ta da, give America instant justification for war.
And the left talks about GW conjuring up a war for oil. Everyone should know and understand that ANYTHING the left accuses conservative of doing/saying is a reflection of their own behavior.

Insane Obama's Speech At Boston Fundraiser....Good Grief
Barack Obama said Americans' "fear and frustration" is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda.
"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country's scared.” Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” He faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.”
“You can respond in a couple of ways to a trauma like this,” Obama said, referring to the economy. “One is to pull back, retrench and respond to your fears by pushing away challenges, looking backwards. Another is to say we can meet these challenges and we are going to move forward. And that’s what this election is about.”
Obama was speaking at a suburban Boston fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which raised an estimated $900,000.
.
.
“The biggest mistake we can make right now is to – is out of hurt and confusion, the worst thing we could do is to go back to the very same policies that caused this mess in the first place,” Obama said.
He framed Nov. 2 as an opportunity for voters to “set the direction” of the country. The economic crisis, he said, “was a once-in-a-lifetime challenge – a once-in-a-generation challenge.”
“I hoped, like many of you hoped, that we could have both parties put politics aside for the sake of the country,” Obama said at the rally. But, he said, Republicans in Washington instead decided to “ride people’s anger and frustration all the way to the ballot box.”
Obama predicted even more partisanship and gridlock in Congress next year.
“I don’t anticipate that getting better next year,” he said at the fundraiser. “I anticipate that getting worse.”
He said he needs Democrats in the Senate “because every bit of progress that we need to make is going be a matter of grinding it out.”
“Grinding” is a word Obama returned to several times Saturday as he tried to empathize with Democrats who are frustrated with his administration and leaders in Congress.
“Now we’re in the midst of not just advocating for change, not just calling for change – we’re doing the grinding, sometimes frustrating work of delivering change — inch by inch, day by day,” Obama said.
“I understand that sometimes hope may have faded as we’ve grinded out this work over the last several years,” he added. “I know it’s hard to keep faith when a family member still hasn’t found a job after months of trying, or another foreclosure sign is hung on the house down the street. And you’re watching TV and all you see are politicians tearing each other down and pundits who treat politics like a sport.”
Obama indicated that he intends to move forward with an energy bill, regardless of what happens on Nov. 2, but said he needs a Democratic majority in the Senate to do so.
He called the legislation "a piece of unfinished business" that's going to require some heavy lifting, and he predicted being able to win over as many as seven Republican Senators to support the legislation.
At both of his campaign stops Saturday, Obama tried to conjure up a sense of history in Democrats. He insisted that despite the rough times right now, Democrats will years from now recall this period with the same pride people involved in the civil rights movement, Social Security or the space program felt in retrospect.

WTH is he talking about.

Looking At The Numbers Regarding Obama and the Democrats
.
The Numbers That Matter
Carol Platt Liebau
As the election draws ever nearer, let's keep our eye on the ball. Polls are interesting, exciting and often predictive, but these are the numbers that matter most to regular Americans:
President Obama and the Democrats enacted $352 billion in net tax hikes.
The national unemployment rate Is 9.6%.
Since the stimulus was passed, the US has lost 2.6 million jobs.
January 1st will bring the biggest tax increase in history, including higher death taxes and higher taxes on personal income, marriage and family, and savers and investors. Capital gains will rise from 15% to 20%; taxes on dividends will rise from 15% to 39.6% next year and even higher thereafter.
Nancy Pelosi -- a multimillionaire in her own right -- and her family took 85 trips in military aircraft between March of '09 and June of '10, at a cost of more than $2 million taxpayer dollars. Over $100,000 of that total was spent on in-flight food and alcohol -- again, courtesy of the taxpayers.

Rachel Maddow vs. Art Robinson ( Robinson for Congress in Oregon)
His Positions
1. Tax and spend policies by government destroy more jobs than they create.
2. The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights as intended by the framers should be the basis of all U.S. laws.
3. Energy independence requires that government impediments to energy production - in the forms of taxation, regulation, and sponsorship of litigation - be rolled back.
4. Many government agencies are counterproductive and should be eliminated.
5 . Job growth requires that taxes and regulations imposed by government be reduced.
6. Government meddling in the farm and forest industries should cease.
7. U.S. borders should be firmly enforced. All people illegally present in the U.S. should be charitably and humanely returned to their countries of origin.
8. Government should not engage in so-called “bailout” or “stimulus” spending.
9. Government should not engage in takeovers of private enterprise.
10. Government should not take over American medical care. I oppose socialized medicine.
11. Government should provide for the common defense of the United States. Wars should be constitutionally declared and should only be undertaken for the defense of the United States. I oppose the current situation wherein American soldiers are quartered in more than 100 countries and frequently interfere in the affairs of those countries
12. Life should not be ended by abortion. I am pro life.
13. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.

Art Robinson For Congress
Art Robinson, a scientist who was profiled in TAS ("A Scientist Finds Independence," Feb. 2001), and has written for the magazine about global warming, is running for Congress. He confirmed in an email that he filed at the last minute for the GOP primary in Oregon's 4th congressional district.
"The spectacle in Washington is causing many Americans to do unexpected things," Robinson told me.
The winner of the primary will face Democrat Peter DeFazio, a 12-term incumbent. Robinson is a conservative Republican. DeFazio is a liberal and a member of the House Progressive Caucus.
Robinson is best known for his "Petition Project," in which he collected 31,000 signatures from scientists who oppose the "scientific consensus" supporting man-made global warming. He also publishes a newsletter, Access to Energy.
While still a young man, Robinson became a full Professor of Chemistry at U.C. San Diego. Later he was president of the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo Alto. But his experiments showing that Vitamin C could not cure cancer caused a rupture with Pauling.
Robinson also has expert knowledge on civil defense and home schooling. After breaking with Pauling he formed the Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine. He does his own biomedical research with volunteer support at his farm in Southern Oregon. Robinson accepts no government funds.

Ignored race a harbinger of Dem doom?
A surprising internal poll is casting a spotlight on a previously ignored congressional race in Oregon that may foretell a November bloodbath for Democrats even worse than anyone has imagined.
Two years ago, 12-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio cruised to victory in Oregon's 4th District with 82 percent of the vote.
But a survey of likely voters by Wilson Research Strategies for the conservative group Concerned Taxpayers of America has the Democrat up by only 6 points, 48 to 42, over Republican nominee Art Robinson.
The Washington insider publication The Hill opines: "If Robinson, a first-time candidate, is even within 10 points of DeFazio, it makes you wonder how many other sleeper races might be out there ahead of this fall."
Robinson, an accomplished chemical scientist who homeschooled his six children after his wife died in 1988, contends DeFazio was feeling the heat long before the poll, the first substantial publicized gauge of the race.
While running hard against his own party – boasting of his few votes against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama – the Democrat DeFazio has been characterizing Robinson as an extremist, unfit for the geographically large southwest Oregon district that includes the left-leaning state university towns of Eugene and Corvallis along with conservative rural communities.
Robinson – noting his campaign has distributed 40,000 yard signs and barely has been able to keep up with demand – said he's been riding "a wave of middle class anger" that apparently has as much passion in his district as anywhere in the country.
"People are telling me they haven't seen a campaign like this for a generation," he said in an interview with WND. "Not that I'm a rock star, but I am putting one foot in front of another and articulating what they believe."
But Robinson says DeFazio is gaining momentum with a TV and radio "smear campaign"– based on outright lies and fabrications, he claims – that appears to have cast enough doubt about him to cause some independents to reconsider their support.
"There was a growing feeling that we were making a lot of headway," Robinson told WND. "What he's trying to do is not to convince people that all this stuff is true, but to cast doubt."
Robinson said his campaign did some basic phone polling that indicated he could win about 15 percent of Democrats, which have a 9 percent advantage in registration. A Magellen Strategies poll of district voters published June 30 found 36 percent would vote Republican, 35 percent Democrat and 29 percent were undecided.
Unscientific feedback indicated Robinson was winning by a large margin in rural areas, possibly enough to overcome the Democratic Party bastions of Eugene and Lane County.
Robinson said he has done about 130 meetings with enthusiastic citizens, drawing from 10 to 600, depending upon the area's population. In DeFazio's few meetings, the incumbent has encountered the current national mood.
"The middle class are mad, and they target his meetings," Robinson said.
But with DeFazio's ad campaign, he explained, there is "now a huge river of negativism about us."

The American Patriot Foundation is pleased to announce that LTC Lakin has repositioned his forces, has retained new legal counsel, and is extremely grateful that the Foundation will be dedicating the critical next few weeks before his planned court-martial on November 3-5, to focusing entirely on public affairs, strategic communications/messaging and coalition-building and that their support will continue seamlessly as the new attorney prepares for trial.
LTC Lakin is consistent in continuing on the same path that he announced publicly six months ago when he released his first YouTube video-- and consistent with his military training, to continue to request assurance from Pentagon leadership that his military orders, including his deployment orders to Afghanistan, are legal-- authorized at the highest level by a Commander-in-Chief who is Constitutionally eligible, per Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. As a medical officer and not a lawyer or Constitutional scholar, LTC Lakin is not laying claim to be the sole arbiter of the President's Constitutionality in attempting to determine, without any genuine evidence to make such a determination, the President's "natural born" citizen status. The burden of proof rests solely on Barack Obama to demonstrate to the American people and to the U.S. Armed Forces that he commands, that he is lawfully serving in his current capacity as head of the Executive Branch of the federal government.
The Army prosecutors have made this determination of the Commander-in-Chief's eligibility under the Constitution impossible-- by denying discovery- and essentially denying LTC Lakin the customary due process rights that defendants in American courts enjoy when facing criminal charges, and in LTC Lakin's case, a jail sentence of several years at Fort Leavenworth prison.

Army officer's supporters warn of 'greatest fraud ever'
October 9
An organization that says it linked an Army doctor challenging Barack Obama's eligibility with a new legal defense team contends the unveiling of the president's birth certificate would prove one of two things: he was a dual citizen or there has been "the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."
Leaders of the United States Patriots Union have told WND the officer's arguments need to go beyond the quest for the president's original birth certificate because that would reveal only some of the evidence needed.
"A birth certificate would only prove one of two things – 1) Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is his bloodline birth father and Barack Jr. was thereby a 'dual citizen' rather than natural born citizen at birth. In this case, Obama fails constitutional requirements," a statement prepared by the organization said.
Or, in the second case, "Barack Hussein Obama (Sr) is NOT his stated birth father on the birth records, in which case Obama has committed the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."
"A birth certificate cannot solve Barack Hussein Obama's problem, unless and until an unconstitutional precedent can be set in court that 'natural-born' – 'native-born' and 'naturalized' are all one in the same. We know that they are not the same things, and why the Founders limited eligibility for the office of president to only 'natural-born' citizens. Anything less creates a very real national security crisis," the organization stated.
The statement was provided to WND by spokesman J.B. Williams, who explained the union and Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely helped introduce Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin to a new attorney, Lt. Col. Neal Puckett.
Vallely, a noted military leader who now is a presence on the Internet with his Stand Up For America and Veteran Defenders, has told WND he thinks Obama should resign.
"We can wait no longer for a traditional change of power and new government," he warned during an earlier interview. "We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (aka President Barack Hussein Obama) … based on incompetence, deceit, fraud, corruption, dishonesty and violation of the U.S. oath of office and the Constitution."
He reported the union also is putting together an "A Team" of expert legal counselors to support Puckett and Lakin.
Exactly what strategic changes, if any, will be made in Lakin's case are yet to be revealed. Lakin's position has been to maintain that there are enough legitimate questions about Obama's eligibility to support his conclusion that orders under Obama's chain of command could be illegal and he would, therefore, be required to disobey them.

Obama His Hate For America Abounds As He Continues His Assault On Goal Industry
The far left radicals at the Sierra Club announced that Obama EPA officials will not allow mining at the largest mountaintop removal coal mine.
Victory for Appalachians as a Determined EPA Recommends No More Mining at Biggest Proposed Mountaintop Removal Coal Mine
Statement from Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took courageous action today to protect the people and waterways of Appalachia when Shawn Garvin, the agency’s Region 3 Administrator, recommended the withdrawal of the mining permit for America’s largest proposed mountaintop removal coal mine site, the Spruce No. 1 Mine in Logan County, West Virginia.
In response Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune issued the following statement:
“The Sierra Club praises the EPA, Lisa Jackson and Regional Administrator Shawn Garvin for staring down Big Coal and industry lobbyists and doing what’s right for Appalachians and hardworking Americans everywhere. This mother of all mountaintop removal coal mines would destroy thousands of acres of land, bury seven miles of streams and end a way of life for too many Appalachian families.
“We stand with the local grassroots heroes who have spent over a decade fighting this largest mountaintop removal coal mine, and today’s announcement is a victory for everyone who has stood up for their air, water and health. While the coal industry has been cutting jobs and cutting corners in Appalachia, clean energy and efficiency investments there could generate almost 80,000 jobs by 2030 and save consumers more than $25 billion in energy costs.*

Senator Barack Obama Speaking on Cap and Trade San Francisco Chronicle January 17, 2008
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Businesses would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that cost onto consumers.”
Obama admitted that cap and trade will likely cost $700 to $1,400 dollars per US family each year.

Our country is under absolute assault.
Obama is doing exactly what he set out to do from the start. Destroy America and bring her citizens to their knees. He needs to be thrown out of office before 2012 and his minions with him. He is a devil.

" American Hero"
In a country, headed toward socialism, where the elitist few ran the government and did not govern for the people, but against them...
In a climate of arrogant words, never before seen flippant attitudes, photo ops, fake news stories, and continued out of control rhetoric...
In a time of rising debt, broken promises, increased taxes, out of control government spending, corporate takeovers and corrupt special interests ...
In a world where evil nations are developing nuclear weapons and where Obama pairs down the United State's arsenal leaving us more and more defenseless....
Now, more than ever, America needs a hero- one who has the power to change the political landscape. That hero, that voice... is You.
You were bullied
pushed
disgraced
dishonored
and made fun of.
While they golfed
vacationed lavishly
flew a dog on a separate jet
You suffered.
While they were being idolized
you were put out of work.
While they apologized for America's success
tax burdens increased for small businesses.
They wasted billions!
Europe told them no at the G20
Republicans tried to tell them no but were outnumbered.
Enough
is
Enough!
Now it's your turn.
On November 2nd
be a hero.
Vote to reclaim our country.
It's time to send the hippies home

Brooklyn Bum Fakes War Wound For Cash
Robert Mc Mahon appears an arm short.
.
Brooklyn bum fakes war wound for cash
Semper fake!
For years, Brooklyn commuters have opened their wallets for Robert McMahon, handing cash to this heroic and heartbreaking figure, a Vietnam vet in combat fatigues, his left arm missing and his right leg crippled, as he panhandles on Ocean Parkway in Kensington.
While begging for cash in Brooklyn, he plays up his phony stints in Vietnam
He plays to their patriotism, having scrawled his nickname, "Rambo," on the back of his camouflage jacket, along with his years of service with the Marines and two stints in 'Nam that saw heavy action. The top of his empty left sleeve is pinned to his uniform shoulder, and he drags his bum leg behind him.
When drivers stop for red lights, McMahon, 53, hobbles over and salutes gallantly, juggling a paper cup and a cardboard sign that reads, "Vietnam vet." They give freely.
They are being scammed.
At day's end, he counts his cash - with both fully functioning arms
McMahon has two arms -- and was seen using them last week to count the wads of cash he took off kindhearted New Yorkers.
He is not crippled, as was readily apparent when he swiftly dodged inquiring Post reporters.
And it seems he never served in the Marines nor in Vietnam, according to Corps and Veterans Administration officials who could not find any record of him.
But he carries on with his wounded-soldier act, day after day, weaving through traffic and occasionally cursing out people who refuse to give. He's been at it since at least 1987, when he pretended to have a missing leg and pushed himself around in a rusty wheelchair, according to a friend.
Tuesday, The Post spotted the bearded, one-armed bandit at 4:30 p.m. at Ocean and Foster Avenue, where he limped over to the windows of idling vehicles and held up his cup.
Many gave dollar bills. He yelled an expletive at a driver who turned him away.
Some gazed at the back of his jacket, which claims he served in Vietnam from 1972 to '73.
At 5:09 p.m., McMahon quit for the day, darted across Ocean Parkway's seven lanes with surprising agility and walked briskly east along Foster.
Two blocks later, McMahon adjusted himself and quickly thrust his left arm out from under his jacket. He used both hands to count his cash.
When he realized a photographer was taking his picture, McMahon tried to hide his left arm by putting it behind his back, then spat and screamed obscenities at the lensman, threatening to kill him. "I'll put a bullet in the back of your head," he howled.
The ugly scene was not unfamiliar to police and prosecutors.
They say McMahon is a menace with a rap sheet of 20 arrests, many for disorderly conduct and "fraudulent accosting" -- legalspeak for scamming victims on the street. His most recent collar came on May 27, when 66th Precinct cops found him blocking traffic at Ocean Parkway and Beverly Road at 12:50 p.m.
Wednesday, a reporter posing as a passer-by asked how he lost his limb. He winced in mock pain: "I don't like to talk about it."
Asked about his service, he claimed he was with the Marines' 2nd Division and fought in Vietnam in 1972 and '73.
Robert Gainey, a 68-year-old vet who did two tours in Vietnam as an explosives expert, has known McMahon for 23 years -- and doubts he was in the war.
"Us guys who are still around, we can spot each other right away," he said. "We've talked about the war. And he's said things to me that you can read in a book or see in the movies. He didn't say anything to convince me he was really there."
Gainey said he first spotted McMahon in 1987 in a wheelchair on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, pushing himself among motorists and begging for money.
"He had his leg tucked up underneath him," said Gainey. "He was pretending he lost it. Later I saw him around here and said, 'Oh, s--t, this guy's from Brooklyn.' "
The leg apparently recovered. But then the arm went.
"He's been doing the fake-arm thing for at least 20 years," said Gainey. "He's crazy as a bat. Everyone around here knows about it."

Anyone who traffics in stolen valor is despicable !!!
He says he is 53 years old, that means he was born in 1957 and claims to have served in VN in '72-'73 when he was 15-16 years old. No way that ever happened.
This guy is 100% Bravo Sierra.

Judge Lets States' Healthcare Suit Go Forward
Judge lets states' healthcare suit go forward
U.S. states can proceed with a lawsuit seeking to overturn President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare reform law, a Florida judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson had said at a hearing last month that he would block efforts by the Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuit, led by Florida and 19 other states.
"In this order, I have not attempted to determine whether the line between constitutional and extraconstitutional government has been crossed," Vinson, of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, wrote in his ruling.
"I am only saying that ... the plaintiffs have at least stated a plausible claim that the line has been crossed," Vinson said.
Opponents of Obama's overhaul of the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare system have said it violates the Constitution by imposing what they consider unlawful taxes and requiring citizens to obtain healthcare coverage, among other issues.
The suit was originally filed in March by mostly Republican state attorneys general.
The ruling allowing the case to proceed was a setback for Obama, who has made healthcare reform a cornerstone of his agenda and who is struggling to fight off a strong Republican challenge in November 2 mid-term Congressional elections.
Vinson dismissed four of six claims the states brought against the healthcare law but said he saw grounds to proceed on two counts, including one relating to the way critics say it would force huge new spending by state governments.
On the issue of the so-called "individual mandate," the law's provision that all Americans obtain healthcare insurance, Vinson said the plaintiffs had "most definitely stated a plausible claim" for their objections.
"The power that the individual mandate seeks to harness is simply without prior precedent," he said.
The White House said the government expects to prevail.
"We saw this with the Social Security Act, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act -- constitutional challenges were brought to all three of these monumental pieces of legislation, and all of those challenges failed," presidential adviser Stephanie Cutter wrote in a blog post.
"VICTORY FOR STATES"
Vinson said the case would continue as scheduled. He had previously set a hearing for December 16.
"This ruling is a victory for the states, small businesses and the American people," Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum said.
"This decision is a recognition that Congress has never gone this far and that the constitutional arguments have real merit," Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch said.
The challenge being heard by Vinson is one of many against the healthcare law. There is a hearing in Virginia Monday on the merits of a separate suit against the healthcare overhaul.
On October 7, a Michigan District Court judge upheld the portion of the healthcare law requiring Americans to obtain coverage. The Michigan judge, in a ruling noted by Vinson, said Congress had the authority to enact the law under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution and therefore could also impose a penalty for those who failed to obtain health insurance.
Apart from Florida, states joining in the lawsuit include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Washington.
Legal analysts say there is a good possibility the matter will reach the U.S. Supreme Court, but most say there is only a slim chance the states would prevail.

Michelle Obama Violated Illinois Law and Campaigned INSIDE Polling Place
.
First lady Michelle Obama appears to have violated Illinois law -- when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place!
The drama began after Mrs. Obama stopped off at the Martin Luther King Center on the south side of Chicago to cast an early vote.
After finishing at the machine, Obama went back to the desk and handed in her voting key.
She let voters including electrician Dennis Campbell, 56, take some photos.
"She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband's agenda going," Campbell said.
According to a pool reporter from the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES at the scene, the conversation took place INSIDE the voting center, not far from the booths.
Illinois state law -- Sec. 17-29 (a) -- states: "No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place [or] within 100 feet of any polling place."
A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT that Mrs. Obama -- a Harvard-educated lawyer -- may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally.
"You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?" the official explained late Thursday. "I mean, she's pretty well liked and probably doesn't know what she's doing."
WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS ELECTIONEERING
When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. Obama's campaigning, press secretary Robert Gibbs defended the action.
"I don't think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband's agenda," Gibbs smiled.

Wild Thing's comment.........
Isn’t that why they keep political partisans a certain distance away? Except for black panther people of course, they are allowed to get in people’s faces. But otherwise, I thought the law was that campaigning had to stay a certain distance away.

Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg Storm Off 'The View' During Argument With Bill O'Reilly About 'Ground Zero Mosque'
Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg flipping out and walking off the set of “The View” because Bill O’Reilly dared to speak the unspeakable – that Muslims orchestrated the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11.
O’Reilly had been explaining that President Obama’s support of the Ground Zero Mosque is an example of where he is disconnected from the will of the American People.
Of course, what Bill said is absolutely true.
.
Laura Ingraham Responds To 'The View': "We're at a Point In Our Country Where You Can't Say Something True Without Getting Jumped
Laura Ingraham pointed out Behar’s blatant hypocrisy
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
He was doing good for the first time in eons and then he backed down. He also didn’t bother to explain that the Mosque builder is an extremist. And that the majority of Muslims worldwide think the Mosque placement was provocative.
When he had Laura on his show later in the day yesterday there is something else to note about O'reilly. It shows he should have been much more up on what Joy Behar and the things she has said in the past and her hate mongering toward Christians etc. Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and many others would have been loaded with information that O'reilly has been ignoring too much. Wake up BILL and realize you cannot win by kissing up to the enemy.
I don't watch The View, but I saw this video at YouTube and wanted to show it to you. I have exactly zero respect for any of these people, Bill O'reilly included.
The incident is interesting however, in that it underscores the sham of any leftist ‘dialogue’. It is always their way or the highway.
I really like Neil Cavuto and I like Cavuto’s remark. . .”The program is called the VIEW, not VIEWS”. . .Obviously, no one is allowed to give a different view from these left wing nut jobs. Just think, they get paid to sit around and show how ignorant they are!

LIAR Harry Reid In His Debate With Sharron Angle
Harry Reid in his debate with Sharron Angle tonight telling an absolute lie in claiming his “The War is Lost” statement came BEFORE the Surge Strategy in Iraq began. Reid’s own statement that “The is lost,” went on to say that the “Surge” was not working. In this video Sharron Angle ends by bluntly saying that what Reid did was “demoralizing” to our troops,” and “you need to apologize to them, Senator.”
.
Here is a video that shows what Harry Reid actually said on April 19, 2007, and details how he has been trying to deny or reinterpret what he said ever since it became clear the Surge in Iraq was working and the War he proclaimed “lost” was being won by our brave men and women in uniform.

DICTATOR Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me
Barack Obama speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 13, 2010. (AP)
Obama: Republicans Will Have to Learn to Get Along With Me
Obama reveals in a magazine article that he is weighing what to do if Republicans win the House majority next month, and has come up with a novel approach: Make the GOP work with him.
In a seeming twist on the post-1994 midterm calculation made by President Bill Clinton -- when Republicans pummeled Democrats in the congressional election -- Obama said he thinks Republicans will have to move in his direction no matter the outcome of the Nov. 2 vote.
"It may be that regardless of what happens after this election, they feel more responsible," he is quoted saying in the Sunday edition of The New York Times Magazine, "either because they didn't do as well as they anticipated, and so the strategy of just saying no to everything and sitting on the sidelines and throwing bombs didn't work for them, or they did reasonably well, in which case the American people are going to be looking to them to offer serious proposals and work with me in a serious way."
Accusing the public of mistaking his abilities, the president also told the magazine that he's a little taken aback that voters are disappointed with the current turn of events in his administration.
"The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep," Obama is quoted saying. "That's not how I look at stuff, because I remember what the campaign was like. And it was just as messy and just as difficult. And there were all sorts of moments when our supporters lost hope, and it looked like we weren't going to win. And we're going through that same period here."
The inside-the-White-House account of trouble and turmoil in the administration comes 20 days before the midterm election and is sure to deflate Democrats reluctant to hear the president detailing mistakes from his first 20 months in office.
"It's pretty clear to me based on this interview that the president is saying, 'I've given up, You're on your own,'" said Democratic strategist Doug Schoen.
Among the regrets the president said he felt during the 111th Congress is letting Republicans make him out to be "the same old tax-and-spend liberal Democrat."
Obama said he also realized too late that "there is no such thing as shovel-ready projects," a familiar refrain made by the president when he was trying to sell the stimulus package.
"There are almost 100 shovel-ready transportation projects already approved," he said in August 2009. As recently as July of this year, he said, "Shovels will soon be moving earth and trucks will soon be pouring concrete."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, who was present during the interview, said Wednesday that he does not think the president was making predictions about the coming election.
"There's no postmortems that are going on here ... People are focused on what we have to do each day," he said.
But Schoen said Democrats fighting for their political lives know they have to keep a distance.
"Right now what I'm hearing from Democrats is the president is only useful for fundraising," he said.
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Vice President Biden is quoted saying Democrats are not running on health care, financial regulatory reform or the stimulus because "it's just too hard to explain" to voters.
.
Krauthammer: “It’s Not Surprising Obama Doesn’t Know What a Shovel Ready Project Is. He’s Never Worked in the Private Sector”
Obama admitted yesterday that there is no such thing as a shovel ready job. Krauthammer let him have it last night on Special Report.
Obama said he also realized too late that "there is no such thing as shovel-ready projects," a familiar refrain made by the president when he was trying to sell the stimulus package.
"There are almost 100 shovel-ready transportation projects already approved," he said in August 2009. As recently as July of this year, he said, "Shovels will soon be moving earth and trucks will soon be pouring concrete."
“Well that is quite an admission. You know, a year and a half and half a trillion dollars later he says these things that I talked about endlessly don’t exist. It’s not actually surprising that he doesn’t know what a shovel ready project is. Having never worked in the private sector he wouldn’t be sure what a project is and there isn’t a lot of shoveling at Harvard Law School.” So I can understand that this was one of the greatest “Oops” in American history. And it’s going to be hard for a democrat when you show one tape against another. They’re goint to say, “So you supported a trillion dollars offered by a president who didn’t even know that this stuff that this stuff is not going to happen?”

Wild Thing's comment........
What an ego!!! Just when I think his pronouncements can’t be any more detached from realty, he comes up with this gem. What a colossal jerk. We have an utter moron Marxist living in the WH!
Obama is an unbalanced and dangerous person. I think the truth is: he doesn't care a whit about anyone else's memories or expectations. Obama dwells in his own universe; only his needs, rights and desires exist, while those of others annoy and distract him from his purpose, which is to satisfy himself.
The man loves crowds and their amorphous adulation because they validate his self-image; he dislikes and removes himself from individual people because unlike the undifferentiated masses, they will challenge him.
The mythology has emerged somehow that we ran this flawless campaign, I never made a mistake, that we were master communicators, everything worked in lockstep,” Obama is quoted saying.
It's funny he brings this up.
Remember it was the Obama himself who used the example of his “flawless campaign” to tell us what a great manager he was - this was his “business experience” He must think we have short memories

Lt. Col. Allen West Says,“We Have to Transfer the Wealth of the American People back to the American People"
Florida GOP candidate for Congress, Allen West, telling a group of supporters recently that we are now in the “4th Quarter” of this election campaign, and it’s time for everyone to leave it all on the field to win this election.
West said Democrats want to create more “victims” – more people who become dependent on the government, because that justifies their desire to keep growing government. West went on to say that if we continue down the road we are on, America is going to look like California or even Greece.
West challenged his listeners that “we have to get them (Democrats) off the field,” and start going in the right direction. That’s what the 2010 Elections are all about.
“We have got to understand that we have to transfer the wealth of the American People back to the American People. We have got to cut back this incredible Government spending that continues to grow and grow. They want your money not to bring down the debt, they want your money to continue to grow the debt.”

EDITORIAL: White House Looks Down On America
EDITORIAL: White House looks down on America
Mark Twain once joked that Richard Wagner's music was "better than it sounds." Obama administration officials say in all seriousness that the economy is better than it seems, if only people were smart enough to get it.
The same condescending attitude pervades portrayals of the midterm election as a "revolt of the masses," as if peasants wielding torches and copies of the Constitution were marching on the ivory towers of Washington. MSNBC host Chris Matthews is able to dismiss Republican women candidates as brainless cuties without a peep from the professional feminists who undoubtedly agree with him. These commentators, and Democrats in general, are indignant that what they see as a collection of bitter rednecks clinging to guns and Bibles (to paraphrase then-candidate Barack Obama) is set to destroy the largest congressional governing majority in a generation.
Those who think in such terms are seriously out of touch. Polling shows that Tea Party activists have above-average educations and incomes. Many of those who plan to vote against the president's party are middle- and working-class moderates who voted Democratic in 2008. Others are traditionally conservative voters who sat out the last election but have been newly energized as they see more far-left policies being implemented. Add to the mix a cohort of newly mobilized voters, and the "peasants" begin to look like a broad cross section of America.
If there's one thing that progressives can never admit to themselves, it's their own unpopularity. So they seek solace in rationalization. This week, Vice President Joe Biden asserted that it was "just too hard to explain" the administration's many accomplishments, presumably because he thinks the American people are too unsophisticated to understand. Mr. Obama's policies are not causing the problem, he explained; rather, it's the administration's marketing technique. "[It's] sort of a branding," he said, "I mean, you know they kind of want the branding more at the front end." Meanwhile, Democratic candidates in competitive states and congressional districts are rebranding themselves as "independents" to run far away from the White House record - and, in some cases, their own record.
It's not so much that the masses are revolting as that we are seeing the return of the traditional citizen legislator, the nonprofessional politician who comes to Washington for a brief round of public service before resuming a private life. It is the model of Cincinnatus and George Washington, of the Minutemen and Davy Crockett. The diverse group of new candidates standing in this election more accurately mirrors the American people than the doddering representatives of the ancien regime.
The coming election is not a contest between an all-knowing ruling class victimized by bad marketing and an ignorant mass of angry, misinformed troglodytes. It is a referendum on a vision of government and society in which the state seeks unlimited power to make decisions at the expense of the liberty of the people. It is a moment of decision on a failed experiment in governance. If the Obama administration's accomplishments are too complex to explain to the voters, if the beneficial effects of their policies are not self-evident, it may be time for them to question whether they have accomplished anything worthwhile at all.

Obama is sneering racist;A hater of America; A hater of successful and independent people; A hater of his superiors. He knows that he and his ilk can’t compete in the free world. He knows he is incompetent. He knows without affirmative action he would still be preaching to community illiterates. He is a sick little weasel and has no place that will accept his hate-filled diatribes against traditions that built this country.

Chilean Miners Rescue and Their Awesome President Sebastián Piñera
The collapse occurred on 5 August 2010, at 2:00 p.m. local time according to statements from the Empresa Minera San Esteban mining company.
The disciplined leadership of shift supervisor Luis Urzúa, was credited with keeping the men alive on an emergency food supply during their first 17 days without contact from the outside world. This leader of these men, will be the final man to make the exit.
It takes about half an hour to raise and lower the rescue capsule with a miner inside.
The estimated total time for the rescue operation is approximately 16 hours. This particular capsule is called Fénix (Phoenix). Three of these units will be used.

Incredibly wonderful news! The rescue effort, an unparalleled technological, logistical tour-de-force!
I think the drill was built in PA. The Roanoke Times had a story about the company a few weeks ago. The best mining drills in the world are made in Latrobe, PA. Company called Kennametal.
Article here .....Salem firm gives trapped Chilean miners its best shot
The second guy they sent down is their equivalent of Navy SEALs, I believe they even train with the SEALs. He's a tactical diver/medic with 10 years of experience. He'll probably be the last person out, which has got to be nerve wracking.
When they first went down to get the first miner, the President of Chile was praying and making the sign of the Cross. To absolute hell with PC!! Viva El Presidente’ We won’t see that kind of thing from Obama.
Then those waiting began singing........singing - is that possibly the Chilean National Anthem???Not sure.
Man with white hat on is the President of Chile and he is hugging the miner.
America, you want to see a GREAT President and First Lady? Watch these two loving and standing by each family member!!!!!!!!! He is giving a hug to each one as they come out. So far as I am writing this there are two miners out.
He was hugging everyone. When he saw the first lady, he takes of his hardhat and with a nod of his head says “Senora.” Then they hug — even in his excitement he showed manners.
OBAMA... TAKE NOTICE!!! THAT is a PRESIDENT!!!!
The President of Chile Miguel Juan Sebastián Piñera Echenique, gave a long speech after the first miner came up and he was so full of emotion and DID NOT have to use a teleprompter!!!
Obama would have been too busy golfing or hanging out with his SEIU thug buddies then to give a damn about trapped miners. Or also Obama would be busy making speeches about banning mining!

Severed Head of Official Investigating Murdered American Jet-Skier Delivered to Mexican Military Army Base
Severed Head of Official Investigating Murdered American Jet-Skier Delivered to Mexican Military – In a Suitcase
Mexican authorities confirm beheading of lead investigator in Hartley disappearance
The head of the cop investigating the murder of missing American jet-skier David Michael Hartley was delivered to the Mexican military. The head was delivered in a suitcase.
The severed head of a Mexican investigator involved in the Falcon Reservoir case was delivered to the Mexican army today, according to state Rep. Aaron Peña, D-Edinburg.
Peña reported via Twitter that he had confirmed the information with Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez, whose office is heading the U.S. investigation into the Sept. 30 disappearance of David Michael Hartley.
The 30-year-old McAllen man is widely believed dead after what his wife, Tiffany Young-Hartley, has described as an attack by cartel “pirates” on the Mexican side of the binational waterway.
She has said three boats of gunmen opened fire on them as they were riding personal watercraft, fatally shooting her husband in the head.
In a media blitz that has brought widespread attention to the case, Young-Hartley, 29, has appeared on all the major TV networks and cable news outlets over the past week, presenting a harrowing account of being forced to flee for her life to the U.S. shore of the lake after she tried in vain to get her husband’s limp body onto her SeaDoo watercraft.

Judge Will Let DOJ Suit Against Arizona Proceed
Judge Will Let DOJ Suit Against Arizona Proceed
From the Courthouse News Service, a federal district judge has rejected a motion to dismiss the suit brought by the Obama Justice Department against the state of Arizona:
PHOENIX (CN) – A federal judge rejected motions in which Gov. Jan Brewer, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu sought dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona’s new immigration law.
The complaint filed by civil rights groups, including Friendly House and the American Civil Liberties Union, contains sufficient allegations that S.B. 1070 perceptibly impairs the ability of the organizational plaintiffs to provide the services that the organizations were formed to provide, and as a result, there can be no question that the organizations have suffered an injury in fact, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled.
“While Governor Brewer correctly points out that, for the most part, the organizational plaintiffs’ allegations involve threats of future harm, the threat of future harm is sufficiently imminent.”
Bolton found the civil rights groups have standing to bring the lawsuit because the “alleged harm to the organizational plaintiffs will occur if S.B. 1070 goes into effect, regardless of how it is enforced or applied.”
Bolton wrote that “race, alienage, or national origin discrimination was a motivating factor in the enactment of S.B. 1070.”

IMO BLOOD on the hands of Obama and his administration and this Judge Susan Bolton. See latest story below. ~ Wild Thing
1 ( ILLEGAL ) arrested after man found decapitated in Chandler, AZ.
CHANDLER, AZ - Police are looking for three additional suspects after a man was found stabbed and decapitated inside a Chandler apartment and a nearby resident was arrested in connection with the slaying.
A police statement issued on Monday says officers were called to the apartment about 5:30 a.m. the previous morning.
After discovering the slain man, detectives began an investigation and eventually arrested 36-year-old Crisantos Moroyoqui. He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and hindering prosecution.
The victim is a man in his 30s. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
Police are now asking for the public's help to locate three men, Juan Campos Morales Aguilar, Jose David Castro Reyes, and a man known only as "El Joto", also suspected in the attack.
Aguilar is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 220 pounds, with short dark hair and a thin mustache. He was seen wearing a black shirt, white t-shirt and jeans.
Reyes is also a Hispanic male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, 180 pounds with short hair and a clean-shaven face. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, white t-shirt and blue jeans.
The third suspect is a Hispanic male, between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches tall, thin build with short spiked black hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a black pattern shirt and Levis.
Chandler police say the three suspects are believed to be traveling in a red 2003 Ford Expedition with California license plate 6FWR784.
Anyone with information about the suspects' whereabouts is urged to contact 911. The men are considered to be armed and dangerous.
Police arrested a Chandler resident Sunday after discovering a decapitated man inside an apartment. Crisantos Moroyoqui, 36, faces one charge of second-degree murder and hindering prosecution.
Det. Frank Mendoza said Moroyoqui was booked Sunday and was not cooperating with the investigation.

“While Governor Brewer correctly points out that, for the most part, the organizational plaintiffs’ allegations involve threats of future harm, the threat of future harm is sufficiently imminent.”
So, the decision is based on some judge's personal assumption, not an interpretation of the Constitution. When this nation finally falls, activist judges will bear a very large part of the blame. I am totally fed up with the assault on our rights and our country.
“Anyone with information about the suspects’ whereabouts is urged to contact 911. The men are considered to be armed and dangerous.”
Gee..ya think?? Our corrupt government in Washington D.C. won’t do anything about heinous acts like this until it happens in the very halls of Congress.......and then I wonder.
Pathetic. Elsewhere in Bizarro-land, the Ft. Hood shooter trial gets yet another delay - until Nov. 9th!

Obama's Actions Will Cause Americas Debt To Double by 2020
FOX Business News Network, Gerri Willis sounds off on the impact of continued government spending.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Obama has got stop spending. The added problem is that no one in his administration knows what they are doing.
Even some of the democrats are saying there is too much spending from Obama happening. Of course these dems are worried about being elected again but even so there are some speaking out and also trying to distance themselves from Obama.

How Obama Is Invading Your Home
How Obama is invading your home
The Obama administration isn't satis fied giving the American public vast things we don't want — from stimulus packages to bailouts to ObamaCare: It's a small-scale nuisance, too — witness its attempt to redesign home appliances.
In the pipeline are dumb regulations for almost everything that plugs in or fires up in your home.
Just weeks after taking office, the president ordered the Energy Department to speed up the process of issuing harsh new energy-efficiency standards for appliances. Since then, the agency boasts, it "has issued or codified new efficiency standards for more than 20 different products," and still more are on the way.
These regulations are sure to raise the price of appliances — often by more than consumers are ever likely to earn back in the form of energy savings. And some will make the product perform well.
The administration is meddling with every room in the house:
The basement:New standards are in the works for water heaters and furnaces. For water heaters, the Energy Department estimates price hikes from $67 to $974, depending on size and type.
The bathroom:The same 1992 law that gave us those awful low-flush toilets also restricted the amount of water showerheads could use to 2.5 gallons per minute. Some consumers who disliked the resulting weak trickle opted for models with two or more showerheads, each using the maximum 2.5 gallons. But Team Obama has now eliminated this "loophole" by requiring that the total flow must comply with the limit.
The kitchen: Think remodeling a kitchen is expensive now? Pending regulations target refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens and ranges.
For refrigerators (at least), this is a clear case of overkill. The American fridge has already been hit by several rounds of tighter standards, with each new rule saving less energy than the last — but boosting the price and compromising performance and reliability. Even the Energy Department admits that most consumers will lose money on its latest refrigerator regulation.
The laundry room:New standards are on the way for washers and dryers. When the last clothes-washer regulation hit in 2007, Consumer Reportslamented that several ultra-efficient models "left our stain-soaked swatches nearly as dirty as they were before washing" and that "for best results, you'll have to spend $900 or more." The Obama rules will probably mean even worse news.
Any air-conditioned room:Both central air conditioners and window units are scheduled for new regulations. When the Energy Department rolled out its last round of central-AC rules back in January 2001 (one of those last-minute Clinton administration "midnight" regulations), it admitted that many homeowners would never recoup the added up-front costs. The new standards will follow the same "logic" — and thus should make for another lousy deal.
The Obama regulations come on top of all the past ones, including the worst one of all — the Bush-era requirement that will effectively ban incandescent light bulbs starting in 2012.
In nearly every case, consumers who want more efficient appliances — or those compact fluorescent light bulbs — are free to buy them. Energy-use labels tell you everything you need to know to make comparisons. All the federal rules do is is to force the government's preferred choice on everyone.
Government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is busy enacting a bunch of things the people don't want, including these appliance regulations. Add them to the growing list of Obama (and Bush) measures ripe for repeal.
Ben Lieberman is an associate fellow in environmental policy with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in Washington, DC.

Wild Thing's comment.......
Nothing in the Federal Constitution calls for Congress to have to power to set standards for home appliances. Period. They don't have the power. Interstate commerce? Nope. That's limited by plain language and the founder's writings, regardless of what the Supremes say.
This is classic liberalism. The average person is too dumb to make the “right” choices in their lives whether it be toilets or light bulbs so the liberal elites must make the decisions for us and have big daddy government assure that we do the “right” thing by shoving mandates down our throats.

Part 4 of 4: David Cameron's Conservative conference speech.
.
David Cameron: 'We are the radicals now'
His conservative manifesto
On Wednesday, David Cameron, who became UK prime minister in May, addressed the annual conference of his Conservative Party. His speech explained why voters had rejected the liberal, Labour Party, and his vision of a “big society” driven by people, not government. Though the problems he addressed were British, his points about debt and spending resonate in America’s own midterm elections. An excerpt:
Let’s start by being honest with ourselves. The mess this country is in — it’s not all because of Labour. Of course, they must take some of the blame. Alright — they need to take a lot of the blame.
Let me just get this off my chest. They left us with massive debts, the highest deficit, overstretched armed forces, demoralized public services, endless ridiculous rules and regulations and bureaucracy and nonsense. Yes, they deserve some blame, and we’ll never let them forget it.
But the point I want to make is this. The state of our nation is not just determined by the government and those who run it. It is determined by millions of individual actions — by what each of us do and what we choose not to do.
Too many people thought: “I’ve paid my taxes, the state will look after everything.”
But citizenship isn’t a transaction in which you put your taxes in and get your services out. It’s a relationship — you’re part of something bigger than you, and it matters what you think and feel and do.
So to get out of the mess we’re in, changing the government is not enough. We need to change the way we think about ourselves, and our role in society. The old way of doing things: the high-spending, all-controlling, heavy-handed state, those ideas were defeated. Statism lost . . . society won.
From state power to people power. From unchecked individualism to national unity and purpose. From big government to the big society. It’s not government abdicating its role, it is government changing its role.
Back in May, we inherited public finances that can only be described as catastrophic. This year, we will borrow more money than we spend on the National Health Service. Just think about that.
Every doctor’s salary. Every operation. Every heating bill in every hospital. Every appointment. Every MRI scan. Every drug. Every new stethoscope, scalpel, hospital gown. Everything in our hospitals and surgeries — paid for with borrowed money, much of it from abroad. And then think about the interest.
This year, we’re going to spend £43bn on debt interest payments alone. £43bn — not to pay off the debt — just to stand still.
Do you know what we could do with that sort of money? We could take 11 million people out of paying income tax. We could take every business in the country out of corporation tax.
That’s why we have acted decisively — to stop pouring so much of your hard-earned money down the drain.
The spending cuts we do have to make, we’ll make in a way that is fair. And I think it’s time for a new conversation about what fairness really means.
Yes, fairness means giving money to help the poorest in society. People who are sick, who are vulnerable, the elderly — I want you to know we will always look after you. That’s the sign of a civilized society, and it’s what I believe.
But you can’t measure fairness just by how much money we spend on welfare, as though the poor are products with a price tag, the more we spend on them the more we value them. For too long, we have measured success in tackling poverty by the size of the check we give people. We say: let’s measure our success by the chance we give. Let’s support real routes out of poverty — a strong family, a good education, a job.
The other part of the equation is who gives that help, through their taxes. Taking more money from the man who goes out to work long hours each day so the family next door can go on living a life on benefits without working — is that fair?
Fairness means giving people what they deserve — and what people deserve depends on how they behave.
Let me tell you what I believe. It will be the doers and grafters, the inventors and the entrepreneurs, who get this economy going.
Yes, it will be the wealth creators — and no, those aren’t dirty words. When you think of a wealth creator, don’t think of the tycoon in a glass tower. Think of the man who gets up and leaves the house before dawn to go out and clean windows. Think of the woman who sits up late into the night trying to make the figures add up to make sure she can pay her staff.
I’ll always remember what the owner of a small business told me once. He said: “When I was starting out, the government didn’t lift a finger to help me. Then as soon as I start making money they’re all over me trying to take it away.”
That is completely the wrong way round. We need to get behind our wealth creators. That’s what we’re doing.
We are the radicals now, breaking apart the old system with a massive transfer for power, from the state to citizens, politicians to people, government to society. That is the power shift this country needs today.
And let me tell you why we desperately need this change. It’s because the old way, of just pouring money into public services from on high, didn’t make the difference it promised to.
But as with any radical changes, there’s going to be opposition. I want to give you an idea of the mentality we’re fighting.
Ed Balls, the man who used to be in charge of education in our country, said one of the dangers of our schools policy was that it would create “winners.”
Winners? We can’t have that. The danger that your child might go to school and turn out to be a winner. Anti-aspiration. Anti-success. Anti-parents who just want the best for their children.
Society is not a spectator sport. This is your country. It’s time to believe it. It’s time to step up and own it. So mine is not just a vision of a more powerful country. It is a vision of a more powerful people.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Obama has never once said he loves America. He hates our country, what a huge difference in these two people. I hope this man David Cameron is able to get the things done he speaks about. Maybe it will motivate our conservatives that are thinking of running for office here in our country.
Some highlights........
He gave a renewed vow to eradicate the deficit by imposing spending cuts and signalled wholesale welfare reform. He said the era of claimants “sitting on their sofas waiting for their benefits” was over.
He issued a “call to arms” to unite behind painful action to cure the economy and radical reforms to modernise the nation.
“When we say, We are all in this together' that is not a cry for help but a call to arms,” he declared in his first speech as Prime Minister to the Conservative party conference.
Mr Cameron called for a “new conversation about what fairness really means”. It meant giving money to the poor and sick, said the Prime Minister, but it should also mean reforming the welfare state to reduce “dependency” and make work pay.
“Taking more money from the man who goes out to work long hours each day so the family next door can go on living a life on benefits without working — is that fair? Fairness means giving people what they deserve, and what people deserve depends on how they behave. If you really can't work, we'll look after you. But if you can work but refuse to work, we will not let you live off the hard work of others.”

Democrat Joe Manchin Ad Against Obama, ObamaCare, and Cap and Trade
Desperate Democrat Gov. Joe Manchin in West Virginia.
Here is his new ad in which he runs away from President Obama by firing a gun at a copy of Obama’s “Cap and Trade” Bill. Manchin says in the ad that he will “take on Washington AND this administration” in working to repeal the “bad parts” of “ObamaCare” – which he supported when it was being considered earlier this year.
Manchin is desperately trying to distance himself from Obama in order to revive his sinking poll numbers.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Yo Joe, if you really mean it then why not change parties.....I mean if you really are against it. Huh Say what???
Joe is a rabid hater of Republicans. He is more likely to run as a socialist/communist than a republican. This is a man that truly believes in the Marxist creed.
Flip-Flop Joe is lying through his teeth............Again. Manchin was “against it before he was for it” or “for it before he was against it” or “strongly for it and strongly against it at the same time” depending on who is listening (his friends and financiers in the unions or the people of West Virginia) and whether he needs to run for election.

Obama Has The Book Thrown At Him (and what's with the naked man?)
A book narrowly misses Barack Obama's head after it is thrown on stage during a rally in Philadelphia
.
.
Yesterday at a rally in Philadelphia a book was hurled at Obama and barely missed his head.
.
Er - what? A woman recoils as a naked man is escorted from Mr Obama's rally in Philadelphia today. It is not clear if the man was involved in the book-throwing incident - or why he was not wearing clothes
.
Campaign commentary: A police officer tries to protect the naked man's modesty with a strategically placed 'Vote 2010' sign
This is the astonishing moment a book was apparently hurled at the head of U.S. President Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Philadelphia.
The flying missile narrowly missed hitting the President yesterday.
It is not clear what the book was, where it came from in the crowd, or why it was thrown at Mr Obama - who did not appear to notice the danger.
But it is expected that there will be fallout from the security breach as the Secret Service investigates how close the President came to danger.
The rally was clearly an eventful one - other images showed a naked man being led away in handcuffs by police.
It is not clear if the man was involved in the book-throwing incident - or why he was not wearing any clothes.
It came as Mr Obama tried to rally voters in Phildelphia to use to three weeks left before congressional elections to go to the polls.
The president relied on an oft-used speech as he addressed the crowd in the city's Germantown community with the driving cadences that swept him into the White House two years ago.

Look Beyond Campaign Lies At What They Have Done
Look Beyond Campaign Lies At What They Have Done
By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
The Democrat elite ramped up their distortions and lies this week in their desperate attempt to fool the voters yet again, after putting an America-hater in the White House to accomplish undefined ‘change and transparency’.
This scoundrel and his puppeteers are well on the road to completing their agenda of growing government (and our debt) at taxpayer cost, destroying our economy, and allowing invasion of our borders. Just how much destruction of personal freedom and states’ rights must occur before voters wake up and put a stop to this tyranny?
Most Democrat incumbents are running as fast as they can from Obama, like people trying to escape a fire in a crowded theatre. They know their vote for Obamacare and massive misappropriation of taxpayer money will be their loss if they cannot divert voters’ attention away from Fedzilla’s rampage. Hence they avoid those topics while hardcore liberals including Obama use their pathologic personality traits of lying and stealing to try and convince voters that the ruling elite know what is best and “just need some more time”.
They are liars of the highest order, diverting taxpayer dollars from already broken entitlement funds to pay off the unions, to fund fraudulent organizations like ACORN who helped put them into office, and implement unaffordable inefficient healthcare and energy bureaucracies. They try and divert attention away from these realities by accusing opposing patriots of having no plan or falsely accusing them of wanting to take away entitlements from our growing government-dependent population. While Republicans are not off-the-hook, most have recognized the will of “We the People” and have tried to block the suicidal ideological programs which this Administration and its left-wing czars have tried to ram through Congress.
The upcoming elections are absolutely critical if “We the People” are to survive this relentless takeover and destruction of America. We must not let apathy and ignorance be our downfall! Our failure at the polls will leave but one alternative. Will our military officers abide by their oath to defend the U.S. Constitution and halt Obama’s destructive path. They owe allegiance to the Constitution---not the President.
We The People must clean house and do the same in 2012 when Mr. Soetoro’s term ends and he goes down in history as the first President whose agenda was to destroy our founding principles and convert “We the People” into government-dependent serfs. Reversing the damage already done with Obamacare, a 1.3 trillion dollar spending spree, and the estimated 13 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities will be a long-term process. Look beyond campaign lies of culpable incumbents of either party and at what they have done to our nation. Vote for constitutional patriots with conservative fiscal principles who are our only chance for a peaceful solution to this historic takeover of America.

The son, Kim Jong-un, wearing a dark suit despite his recent promotion to four-star general, watched the festivities and reviewed squads of goose-stepping troops with his 68-year-old father and other senior politicians and generals. The event was held in Kim Il-sung Square, named for Kim Jong-un’s grandfather, the founder of the North Korean state.

I heard on FOX that he picked this son because of all his children this one was exactly like he is and will keep running the country the same way.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit
In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to overturn the law.
The move comes in response to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling issued Monday, allowing nearly a dozen Latin American countries — Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Chile — to submit friend-of-the-court briefs in Justice’s challenge to SB 1070, which Brewer signed into law in April and is considered one of the nation’s toughest immigration-enforcement measures.
“As do many citizens, I find it incredibly offensive that these foreign governments are using our court system to meddle in a domestic legal dispute and to oppose the rule of law,” the Republican governor said in a statement shortly after the state’s motion was filed Tuesday evening.
“What’s even more offensive is that this effort has been supported by the U.S. Department of Justice. American sovereignty begins in the U.S. Constitution and at the border,” she added. “I am confident the 9th Circuit will do the right thing and recognize foreign interference in U.S. legal proceedings and allow the State of Arizona to respond to their brief.”
Brewer and her supporters have said the state law is necessary because the federal government has failed to protect the border and enforce immigration laws. But the Justice Department — with strong backing from President Barack Obama — sued to block the Arizona law on constitutional grounds.

This is truly treasonous.
Jan Brewer is right, it is NONE of their damn business! These outsiders have no standing. It is outrageous to permit foreign countries to sue us for our domestic policy.
How can this freak sink any lower and how can so many Americans put up with him?

Valor Has No Boundaries; Three Marines Help Save Wounded Police Officer, Apprehend Suspect
Pfcs. Anthony S. Roldan, Christopher M. Smith and Ryan J. Shuey, combat engineers with 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division, stand at parade rest in front of 1st CEB's headquarters building at the San Mateo training area Oct. 8. The Marines were presented with 1st CEB Sapper Coins by Lt. Col. Andrew Niebel, commanding officer of 1st CEB, for their actions Oct. 6 when they assisted a police officer with the Long Beach Police Department who was violently attacked by a suspect yielding a knife. Roldan, is an 18-year-old from Long Beach, Calif., Smith is a 20-year-old from Lemoore, Calif., and Shuey is a 20-year-old from Huntingdon County, Pa.,
Valor has no boundaries; Three Marines help save wounded police officer, apprehend suspect
By Pfc. Evan Santy, 1st Marine Division
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.
While sitting on the porch waiting for a home cooked meal in Long Beach, Calif. Oct. 6, Pfc. Anthony Rolden and his two friends and brothers in arms, Pfcs. Ryan Shuey and Christopher Smith, hear a gun fire in the distance. Without hesitation the three Marines spring into action, with nothing but raw instincts and Marine Corps training leading them. They race down an alley behind the house where they find a police officer fighting for his weapon and his life.
“It’s rewarding to know he’s alright,” said Pfc. Ryan Shuey, 20, from Huntingdon County, Pa. and a combat engineer, with 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division. “I’m glad we were there to potentially save his life.”
The three Marines were taking a break from the mess hall, and having a relaxing night with family and friends before their deployment to Afghanistan in the next few days. That night had different plans for the young engineers and they had to show the true valor of the title United States Marine.
“It looked like David verses Goliath,” said Pfc. Anthony Rolden, 18, from Long Beach, Calif. a combat engineer, with 1st CEB, 1st Marine Division. “It all happened so fast.”
“He was a big guy,” said Pfc. Christopher Smith, 20, from Lemoore, Calif. a combat engineer, with 1st CEB, 1st Marine Division. “I don’t think I could have taken him down myself, so I’m glad all three of us were there.”
When they heard the gun shot the Marines reacted instantly. The Marines rushed to get Rolden’s younger brothers and sisters inside the house, then making their way to the noise. What they found was beyond belief. A police officer, who had been stabbed in the ear and was fighting for his life and his fire arm with another man, and struggling to hold on.
“They saw what was going on and didn’t stand by, they jumped in and assisted,” said Jim McDonnell, Long Beach Police Department chief of police. “Had this intervention not been done, it’s anybody’s guess how it would have turned out.”
The Marines immediately proceeded in helping the officer. Using their skills in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program and detainee handling; the three quickly subdued the suspect. They then proceeded to administering first aid on the officer by checking for bullet wounds and stopped the bleeding from the officer’s stab wound.
“We knew what we had to do,” said Rolden. “When we heard the gun shot we did what we were trained to do; which was to run toward the fight, not from it.”
For many people a work day is from nine to five, but for service members the job isn’t over just because you take off the uniform. For these Marines that reputation was put to the test by having to go above the call of duty by literally running into the face of danger to save the life of a fellow defender of freedom.
“This is a perfect example of Marines being Marines 24/7,” said Lt. Col. Andrew Niebel, 43, from Silver Spring, Md., battalion commander of 1st CEB, 1st Marine Division. “Even after the uniform is taken off they are still living up to Marine Corps standards.”

Like The Economy, Self-loathing, Open Borders? Vote for a Democrat
Like The Economy, Self-loathing, Open Borders? Vote for a Democrat
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
It is a tragic day when a country’s leader, whether legitimate or not, finds satisfaction in playing a major part in bringing that country to its economic knees. And so, Barrack Hussein Obama finds great satisfaction. As much as he tries to lay blame at “Bush’s” feet for the nation’s economic distress, which worked for a while, it is increasingly clear that he, and his socialist/communist operatives and lemmings, is the architect.
The media in general with notable exceptions assume that Obama has tried to help the economy, a demonstrably false assumption. Obama has repeatedly stated as the economy declines, “We are on track.” Even as he campaigns for his socialist cohorts for reelection he shouts, “We have to stay the course.” What many assume, which is absolutely naïve to do, is that “staying the course” is intended to help the economy, an absolutely false assumption. Staying the course from Obama’s perspective is to bring the economy to complete collapse then impose wide ranging government control, because “we cannot let the economy fail.” That is where Obama wants the economy to go, and it is obvious from everything he does.
While employment was going off the cliff Obama proclaimed, “The economy is on track,” he knew what he was saying. When he stated that the trillion dollar stimulus would keep unemployment from going over eight percent, he knew that was a fallacious claim. When he said that he was a unifier he was right, he has unified communists, socialists, Muslims, and non-taxpayers. But he delights in spitting in the face of the majority of Americans who want a relatively free market economy with minimum but necessary government intrusion.
If one likes the way Obamacare was enacted against the will of the vast majority of Americans, the, with one hundred percent certainty, predictable degradation in health care, the ongoing draconian increase in insurance rates, exemption from “Obamacare” for members of Congress, unions, and other special interests; taxpayer bailouts of the financial and automotive industries, the housing crash, Stimulus I, II, III and possibly IV, impending onerous tax hikes that will constitute the largest increase in taxes in the nation’s history, the greatest increase in national debt in record time in the nation’s history, destruction of the “American Dream;” greater political and racial polarization, higher unemployment, loss of national stature, devaluation of the U.S. dollar, becoming the world’s leading international relations basket case, abandonment of traditional allies, bootlicking of Islamic nations, increased border violence, taking State’s to court, less hope and more depression to mention just a smattering of
his “hope and change” objectives, one probably should vote for Obama and his political cronies in Congress.
Just ask oneself, “Am I better off today than I was when Democrats in 2006 and then Obama 2008 were elected?” “Who set up the housing crash?” “Who put the economy near the cliff?” Those who know the facts not the spin, know it was Democrats and Liberal Republicans in the Congress and to be fair, a President who was too weakened by constant attacks in the media and by the new majority in the Congress to do anything about it.
But, if Americans want to re-open the nation for business, create jobs, lower taxes, reduce the scope and reach of the Federal and State Governments, and get the nation out of the doldrums, then vote ever single careerist out of office and that might even include some personal friends. It’s time for Americans to take back their government from political careerists, lobbyists, big government, fat and lazy bureaucrats, and restore to Americans real hope and a bright future.
Unlike government unions, most Americans do not want the stale benign existence of being taken care of by the state; most Americans’ forbearers did not come here for that. But with the effective “open borders” attitude of this Administration notwithstanding its advertised deportation achievements, which are questionable at best and fraudulent (like California legislators 340% overstatement of pollution) at worst, this Administration is working to change not only the economy to the socialist model, but American culture from one of personal independence to one of complete dependence under the mantra of “spreading the wealth around.”
Aside. As for taxing the rich, whoever they are and most know some of them, some earned it, but most took it from good faith investors, a big difference. 100 million or even 5 million dollar bonuses are not earned. Stock manipulation to increase its value is not earned, fraudulent statements or puffery in representation of investment opportunities is not earning, short term capital gains are not earned, playing the market is not earning; and, please don’t feed me “buyer beware.” Most investment peddlers are infinitely more sophisticated than the ordinary investor and is adept at taking their money and anyone with any experience or sense knows it. The nation needs to get back to the concept of earning and that alone would crop the obscene greed that dominates the top end of the wealth spectrum and simultaneously protect legitimate investors.
This election is an historic time in the nation’s lifecycle. Americans are confronted with the choice of going over the waterfall with this Administration and its lackey’s in the Congress or taking the nation back. And by the way, any Republican politician who believes that it will be business as usual after the election had best wake up because the Republican Party, like the Democrats are doing, will go the way of the Dodo bird.
Semper Fidelis

Obama and His EPA Going After the Livestock Industry
Beef Industry: U.S. May Need ‘Strategic Hamburger Reserve’ after Obama EPA Implements New Regulations
According to a representative of the cattle and beef industry, America may need a “strategic hamburger reserve” if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implements proposed new reguilations for cattle producers.
“From where I sit, (the Obama administration) appears to be aimed at destroying the cattle industry in America as we know it,” Tamara Thies, the chief environmental counsel at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said on Capitol Hill last week.
“It is ironic that as we work to become less dependent on foreign oil, Obama policies are likely to make us more dependent on foreign beef. Maybe we’ll need to start a strategic hamburger reserve after the Obama administration is finished with us.”
Thies' comments came at a hearing conducted by the House Republicans’ Rural America Solutions Group about the EPA’s proposed regulations on the industry, which include the toughest dust regulations in history – one which would significantly impact the rural economy by imposing steep fines on cattle producers who, Thies said, most likely cannot afford them.
“It is unlikely these realities are lost on the EPA, making one wonder if the real goal of the agency is to do away altogether with economic activity throughout the bread basket of this country and turn it into a vast national park,” she added.
The forum was held by Reps. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee; Sam Graves (R-Mo.), ranking member of the House Small Business subcommittee; and Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee, to consider several of the new proposed EPA regulations.
In a periodic review of its National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), which allow the EPA to regulate certain forms of particulate matter in the air, the EPA determined that it might raise the standard so that only 65-85 µg/m3 of dust would be permitted in the air (as opposed to 150 µg/m3). Violating the proposed new NAAQS standards can result in civil penalties under the Clean Air Act.
The EPA published that draft policy assessment in the July 8, 2010 issue of the Federal Register.
“(EPA) is preparing to issue a proposed regulation that is twice as stringent as the current dust standard, and is more stringent than background levels of dust in many parts of the U.S,” Thies told the congressmen.
“Incredibly, we are talking about dust kicked up by tilling fields and harvesting crops, cattle movements, and pickups driving down dirt roads,”she said. “For agriculture, the current standard is already very difficult and costly to meet—doubling it would be virtually impossible.”
That new proposal also alarmed 75 members of Congress who represent rural districts, including Reps. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-S.D.), John Spratt (D-S.C.), and Bobby Bright (D-Ala.), who sent a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on Sept. 27 urging the agency to “refrain from going down this path” on dust regulation.
“Considering the administration’s claim that it is focusing on revitalizing rural America and rural economic development, a proposal such as this would have a significant negative impact on those very goals,” they wrote. “We are hopeful that common sense will prevail and the EPA will refrain from causing extreme hardship to farmers, livestock producers, and other resource-based industries throughout rural America.
“Whether it is livestock kicking up dust, corn being combined, or a pickup driving down a gravel road, dust is a naturally occurring event in rural areas. Common sense requires the EPA to acknowledge that the wind blows dust around in these areas, and that is a fact of life.”
Jackson did not attend the forum on Capitol Hill last week despite receiving an invitation. A spokesperson for the EPA indicated they would have a reaction about why they were proposing these rules in a difficult economy, but did not do so by press time.
The dust regulation is one of several new proposals the EPA is considering, including regulating ammonia emissions from cattle operations; nationalizing standards for soil phosphorus levels, which determine where farmers can use manure; regulating greenhouse gas emissions; and greater regulation of farming on the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
“The fact is, the EPA is waging an unprecedented war to end modern production of animal agriculture,” Thies said in her testimony.
“EPA exhibits reckless indifference to scientific fact and, instead, imposes stringent regulations based on nothing more than its biased anti-animal agriculture agenda that will leave many cattle operations with no recourse but to shut down and eliminate jobs,” she added.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Obama and his EPA are absolutely out of control. They think they have become lawmakers. A very dangerous combination.
"It is unlikely these realities are lost on the EPA, making one wonder if the real goal of the agency is to do away altogether with economic activity throughout the bread basket of this country and turn it into a vast national park,” she added.”
That is exactly their plan.
This is Cass Sunstein. Anytime you see new regulation changes, you can thank Obama's CZAR Cass Sunstein.
Is there anything Obama doesn’t want to control? I hate him so very much.
With each passing day another story comes out about how this faux pres is destroying everything good about America.

Palin Takes A Big Step Toward 2012 Run for President
Palin Takes A Big Step Toward 2012 Run for President
Former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is raising new speculation in conservative circles that she is already preparing for a 2012 presidential bid. In the latest and clearest example of her plans, Palin met with some 50 national conservative leaders Wednesday in Palm Beach, Florida where she discussed economic and diplomatic policy and led some to declare that she's in the race.
"This was an indication that she's strongly considering running," said one insider. "She was very knowledgeable and gave intelligent answers, despite how she's been characterized," added the insider. "And she was extremely charming."
The meet-and-greet was organized by the conservative magazine and website Newsmax and its boss Christopher Ruddy. Palin, currently a Fox News contributor, has said Newsmax is one of her favorite news sources. Her trip sprung from an accidental meeting in June at the Belmont Stakes race in New York when Palin and Ruddy bumped into each other.
Ruddy, whose Web site helped sell 250,000 of Palin's 2008 campaign book, arranged for Palin to be interviewed by radio host Michael Reagan for an upcoming webcast dubbed "Make America Great Again." Palin will kick off the webcast campaign October 12. Her next book, America By Heart, is due out next month.
During her stop, Ruddy and his staff presented Palin with a faux Newsmax cover showing her running for the presidency. It was headlined: "Yes in 2012."
At a later reception and dinner, she made her case on several issues to top conservative leaders, among them, Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, pundit Dick Morris, activist Ralph Reed, and John Raese, the West Virginia Republican Senate candidate who holds a surprise lead over Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin.
"This was an indication that she's strongly considering running," said one insider.
Conservatives have warmed to Palin in part because of her golden touch in picking Tea Party candidates to back in House and Senate races, giving her a ready-made support base in a presidential bid.

Madison has been called a lot of things over the years.
But dull? Really?
That was apparently Vice President Joe Biden's impression of the Madtown crowd on Thursday while he was speaking at a breakfast fundraiser for Democratic candidate for governor.
Biden was talking about how more products need to be made in the United States rather than abroad.
"We want to reward people who manufacture things in the United States, in Wisconsin," he said. "Not to take them overseas to China and to other countries!"
The room sat quiet.
Biden paused.
"You're the dullest audience I've ever spoken to," he said, to laughter and applause.
He added, "Do you realize how many jobs Wisconsin lost? It's staggering!"

GOP Takeover of Congress Would Mean 'hand-to-hand combat,' Obama Warns
GOP takeover of Congress would mean 'hand-to-hand combat,' Obama warns
Reporting from Washington — A Republican majority in Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Thursday.
Speaking on Michael Baisden's syndicated radio show, Obama also made a direct appeal to African Americans about the importance of the November vote, even though he's not on the ballot himself.
"The reason we won [in 2008] is because young people, African Americans, Latinos -- people who traditionally don't vote in high numbers -- voted in record numbers. We've got to have that same kind of turnout in this election," he said. "If we think that we can just vote one time, then we have a nice party at Obama's inauguration, and then we can kind of sit back and suddenly everything's going to change – that's just not how it works."
Everybody in the barbershops, the beauty shops, and at work -- everybody's got to understand: This is a huge election," he said. "If we turn out in strong numbers, then we will do fine. If we do not, if we are depressed and decide, well, you know, Barack's not running right now, so I'm just going to stay home, then I'm going to have my hands full up here on Capitol Hill."
Obama said a big voter turnout was vital, both to counter millions of dollars being spent by outside groups and the enthusiasm Republicans have demonstrated.
"They are fired up. They are mobilized. They see an opportunity to take back the House, maybe take back the Senate," he said. "If they're successful in doing that, they've already said they're going to go back to the same policies that were in place during the Bush administration. That means that we are going to have just hand-to-hand combat up here on Capitol Hill."
.

72,000 Stimulus Payments Went to People Who Were Dead
72,000 stimulus payments went to dead people
More than 89,000 stimulus payments of $250 each went to people who were either dead or in prison, a government investigator says in a new report.
The payments, which were part of last year’s massive economic recovery package, were meant to increase consumer spending to help stimulate the economy.
But about $18 million went to nearly 72,000 people who were dead, according to the report by the Social Security Administration’s inspector general. The report estimates that a little more than half of those payments were returned.
An additional $4.3 million went to more than 17,000 prison inmates, the report said. Most of the inmates, it turns out, were eligible to get the payments because they were newly incarcerated and had been receiving Social Security before they were locked up.
Dead people were ineligible to get the payments. But, the report said, there is no provision in the law to recover payments incorrectly sent to dead people.
"Based on the failure of the SSA to properly check its records, and Congress' failure to fully think through the provisions needed to govern these payments, SSA lost $22.3 million in American tax dollars," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. "These findings are yet another example of congressional stupidity and a lack of accountability."

U.S. Offers Tax Breaks for Terror Funding
George Galloway in Gaza
U.S. Offers Tax Breaks for Terror Funding
The United States government has been allowing citizens to take a tax deduction for donations to Viva Palestina, a group that aids the anti-Israel and anti-America terrorist group Hamas. Now a U.S. Congressman is trying to put a stop to it, as reported by the International Business Times.
Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) told the paper that he has written to the State Department, the Department of Justice, and the IRS, informing them that Viva Palestina funds terrorism and is soliciting donations in America. The Patriot Act and other counter-terror laws prohibit soliciting funds for a recognized terrorist organization.
His letters were sent several months ago, but nothing has been done. Sherman said the State Department forwarded his complaint to the Department of Justice, which has yet to respond. The IRS said they would look into the matter, he added. The congressman said he plans to keep pushing the matter until something is done.
Viva Palestina is run by former British MP George Galloway, who openly supports Hamas and has made direct donations to the group. In 2009 Galloway gave Hamas leaders cash and vehicles, and taunted his government, saying, "If you want to take me to court, I promise you there is no jury in all of Britain who will convict me."
Sherman said he has faced difficulty due to the fact that Viva Palestina's branch in the U.S. is partnered with the charity group Interreligious Foundation for Community Organizations (IFCO) and receives money through them.
In addition, Viva Palestina USA claims that it does not give to Hamas. However, Sherman disputes that claim, pointing out that the group openly supports Galloway's "aid convoys" to Gaza. An expert on terrorism, Stephen Landman, was quoted by IBT as saying that Viva Palestina USA "openly used its resources to prop up Hamas' government in the Gaza Strip."
Landman recently addressed the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. He told committee members that there is "overwhelming" evidence that Viva Palestina supports terrorism, and that the group has raised at least $200,000 in America.
Galloway and Viva Palestina are currently planning a flotilla to sail for Gaza, in an attempt to break Israel's naval blockade of Hamas. A previous attempt to break the blockade ended with nine deaths and several injuries after armed passengers attacked IDF soldiers who attempted to redirect their boats, and soldiers opened fire in response.
Wild Thing's comment.......
"If you want to take me to court, I promise you there is no jury in all of Britain who will convict me."
Galloway is probably right that no jury in Britain would convict him of aiding and abetting terrorists. Appeasement and fear of British Muslim citizens is so strong in England.
In the US financing terrorism is a serious concern. But under Obama and his administration they are not going to be going after terrorists like GW Bush did. Obama would never say the axis of evil in regards to any muslim.

No Barack. We know what you are. Nobody has any idea who you are. Why not show us your Columbia transcripts and give us some idea?
Hello Obama, it’s a GOOD omen for America - and YOU should be sweating bullets.
What is with this guy? Flies randomly land on his face. Bed bugs reportedly in the WH. Rodents scurry past his lectern. Teleprompters crash on their own. Now seals peel off on their own.

Joe Biden: " If I Hear One More GOP Budget Gripe, 'I Am Going To Strangle Them'
Biden: If I hear one more GOP budget gripe, 'I am going to strangle them'
Vice President Biden jokingly expressed his frustration toward Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of having insincere concerns about the budget deficit.
Biden jokingly said that GOP protests about the need for a balanced budget made him want to strangle them, which the vice president quickly clarified was a figure of speech.
“If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Minnesota, according to a pool report. “To the press, that’s a figure of speech.”
President Obama and other members of the administration have ridiculed Republicans as trying to have it both ways on budget issues. For all the GOP's complaints about the ballooning deficit over the past 20 months, Democrats charge, their plan to extend all tax cuts for top earners would add hundreds of billions to the debt.
“These guys have absolutely no credibility, no credibility on debt,” Biden said.
But Republicans argue that the administration has been reckless in its handling of the economy, pointing foremost to the administration's $787 billion stimulus plan, which Republicans assert has not created jobs at a massive cost to taxpayers.

Biden, standing on the deck of the sinking Titanic, was heard to say: “If one more person tries to give me a life jacket I’ll strangle him!”
Sigh and alas, a normal day in the dysfunctional life of Plugs Joe Biden,.
Joe Biden—the gaffe that just keeps on giving. Can you imagine if Cheney had said something like this?
This bunch of jerks is as low-class as it gets. Donald Trump was on Cavuto and said the US is not respected in the world anymore.

Democrat Dick Blumenthal Stumped On How To Create A Job
Democrat Richard Blumenthal absolutely lost and stumped by Republican Linda McMahon with the simple question of, “How do you create a job?” McMahon and Blumenthal squared off in a debate for the U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut.
Blumenthal rambled and flailed for over a minute in trying to answer the question. Linda McMahon took 20 seconds, and nailed it!
.
She also has a great ad about his lies about being in Vietnam.

He blabbed his way through the question while attempting to squeeze in all of his liberal buzz words..."stronger government intervention, government can help, taxing policies"... She blew him away on this one.
This is exactly the way Obama thinks also.

I love this, it has the sacred whop, whop, whop of the Huey blades.
"God's Own Lunatics" is the phrase coined by noted reporter, Joe Galloway, as a description of respect and admiration for helicopter crews, and their willingness to go anywhere, anytime, in support of ground combat forces.
Joe Galloway was a reporter at the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley 1965. He co wrote, "We Were Soldiers Once, and Young" with Col. Hal Moore, the US commander of the battle. This battle was the initiation of the airmobile concept and the US force was the First Air Cav.
Welcome home to all our Vietnam Veterans.
Thanks too to Silver Spurs, A Troop, 3/17th Air Cavalry, Vietnam '67-'72. for putting this together.
The squadrons from the 17th Cav are still very active today and have been deployed both in Iraq & Afghanistan. The 3-17th is currently in Afghanistan.
During the Vietnam War, Joe Galloway often worked alongside the troops he covered and was awarded a Bronze Star for carrying wounded men to safety.
Galloway is a native of Refugio, Texas. His first wife Theresa M. Galloway (May 12, 1948-January 26, 1996) died of cancer. They had two sons, Joshua and Lee. In 1998, Galloway married Karen Metsker, daughter of Capt. Tom Metsker, a battalion intelligence officer killed in the Vietnam War. Galloway now resides in his home county of Refugio County, Texas in Bayside in a cottage overlooking Copano Bay.

Walter Mondale Says Obama Needs to Stop Using ‘Idiot Boards’ to Read His Speeches
.
Mondale To Obama: Teleprompters Are 'Idiot Boards'
Walter Mondale says Obama needs to stop using “idiot boards” when reading speeches, because he says it makes him “lose the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters.”
Former Vice President Walter Mondale said on CNN that President Obama relies too much on teleprompters -- which Mondale called "idiot boards" -- when speaking to the American people.
In a discussion of whether Obama projects empathy in his speeches, the 82 year-old Mondale said the president "has got to connect with the American people." When CNN host Wolf Blitzer asked why Obama has not shown more empathy, Mondale answered, "I've seen places where he's done it. The Milwaukee speech, I thought was terrific. I think some of these backyard events are terrific. But I think he -- he's very bright -- as a matter of fact, brilliant. And I think he tends to -- and he uses these idiot boards to read speeches on television and I think he loses the connection that he needs emotionally with American voters."
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Um, Walter? Have you heard what he sounds like *without* the reading training wheels?
He cannot develop 'empathy' with the American People because he is against everything they stand for. Only when he is speaking to fellow Left wing nuts, is he comfortable.

DNC Uses F-Bomb Review to Promote Upcoming Obama Rally
DNC Uses F-Bomb Review to Promote Upcoming Obama Rally
The Democratic National Committee is promoting an upcoming rally for President Obama by sending out a blog that touts the musical act preceding him as "f---ing awesome."
A DNC spokesman blasted out an e-mail alert Monday that included a post from the Philadelphia City Paper's website. The paper reported that hometown heroes The Roots would be performing at Obama's Oct. 10 rally in Philadelphia.
"You heard it here first: Just got word from a Democratic source that The Roots, who campaigned for Obama in 2008 and are f---ing awesome, will perform next Sunday as part of President Obama's Move America Forward Rally," the City Paper reported without editing the explicit language.
The president is holding the rallies to build support for the Democratic agenda and drive up turnout in the upcoming congressional elections.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Good grief! It is one thing to use the F word in a rant and it almost goes with any thoughts a person has about Obama. LOL But my gosh to use it in an email sent out from the DNC, whew wow. It is not oproper to use that language when sending out a message on behalf of any president.
Favorite Obama trick - have some band perform a free concert to boost attendance at an Obama rally. He did that during the presidential campaign too. Thats how he got all those people to come see him in Germany- they were there for a concert-not for him- he was just a side act.
He is pandering to the blacks in the area. Obama is doing the same thing Jesse and Al Sharpton have done so many times.
I checked them out at YouTube to see what they sound like. Obama can keep them, I don't care for their music/RAP.

UPDATE: 911 Tapes Released in Mexican Pirate Attack in TX Boundary Waters
David Michael Hartley, 30, of Colorado, was gunned down in Mexican waters on Thursday while his wife, Tiffany, dodged bullets and raced her Jet Ski back to American soil.
FOX News
Sportsmen in southern Texas have been pulling bass and catfish from Falcon Lake for more than half a century. A 60-miles-long "big fishing paradise" that straddles the U.S.-Mexican border, it is also a hotspot for bird-watchers, providing glimpses of species like the black-chinned hummingbird and the red-bellied woodpecker.
But now the suspected murder of a Colorado tourist, who is said to have been shot in the head as he operated a Jet Ski on international waters last week, has prompted Texas officials to renew warnings about another species that inhabits Falcon Lake -- Mexican pirates.
Search teams continued to scour the U.S. side of Falcon Lake on Monday for the body of David Michael Hartley, 30, whose wife told police he was shot in the head Thursday after they were ambushed by two boatloads of armed men. Authorities say Hartley was shot while he and his wife, Tiffany, were riding their watercraft on the Mexican side of the lake. Tiffany Hartley, 29, managed to escape the gunfire and return to the shore on the American side of the lake.
.
Update: 911 Tapes Released in Mexican Pirate Attack in TX Boundary Waters
The 911 call of a frantic wife whose husband was shot in the head while fleeing from Mexican pirates has been released. David and Tiffany Hartley came under attack while jet skiing on a Texas lake that is split between U.S. and Mexican territory. David’s body has not yet been recovered:
A partial transcript of the call from KRGV-TV:
Dispatcher: Hello? Ma’am? Yes. Okay. Are you sure that your husband got shot?
Tiffany: Yes. In his head.
Dispatcher: Okay. Yeah. Was he thrown out of the jet ski that he’s in the water or something?
Tiffany: He was thrown off the jet ski and I couldn’t pick him up to get him on mine. (sobbing)
Oh God.
Dispatcher: Ma’am? Were you shot at on the Mexican side or on the US side? So it was the Mexican Side. Okay, did you see anybody?
Tiffany: There were three boats.
State Rep. Aaron Pena, a south Texas lawmaker was briefed on the pirates earlier this year, and emphasized that it has become dangerous enough that Americans should stay off the lake altogether.
"I wouldn't do it," Pena said. "When I go out there I have all the protection Texas can provide. But the average fisherman doesn't have that."
Pena said he has no doubts the pirates are working with Mexico's drug gangsters. The cartels that control the area wouldn't let the pirates operate otherwise, he said.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said he had contacted the Mexican consulate to ask them to search for Hartley on its side of the lake.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Pena stated that the lake is too dangerous and Americans shouldn’t go out there at all. So, if Texas gets too “dangerous” should all Texans move? At one point do they fly a “white” flag? This is absolutely infuriating that Americans are gunned down and Obama refuses to do anything.
Post from last Saturday about this. I am glad there are updates to this and more information from FOX.

Obama Administration's Nat. Park Service Spokesman Bill Lane Lashes Out at Critics of 'One Nation' Rally Trashing of Nat'l Mall
.
National Park Service and ‘One Nation Moving Forward’ say Saturday rally no messier than other rallies
Spokesmen for the National Park Service and “One Nation Moving Forward” said that the pictures and videos of garbage taken by conservative bloggers and websites, as well as The Daily Caller, are a misrepresentation of the liberal rally.
“I consider [The Daily Caller’s article] to be highly inaccurate,” said a very forceful NPS spokesman, Bill Line.
“To imply that this past weekend’s event is more dirty, contains more trash or is filthier than any other demonstration is not grounded in reality.”
Wishing to counter smears against Tea Partiers as well as paint liberals as irresponsible hypocrites, conservative blogs and websites have been merciless in their documentation, ridicule and condemnation of trash left by attendees of the “One Nation” rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.
“They should have planned more,” said the only person TheDC could find cleaning up on the Mall on Sunday. “There should have been a clean-up crew.”
The man, who didn’t want to be identified by name, went on to say that he also helped clean up after Fox host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in August and said there was a distinct difference in how much trash was on the Mall after that rally and the state of the Mall after the “One Nation” rally.
“I was at the other one too,” he said. “So I’ve seen both. I know the difference.”
Conservative bloggers have made pains to contrast the general cleanliness of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally last month with Saturday’s rally and have used the images as an indictment against liberals.
Line, however, was adamant in his disagreement of such assessments.
“This trash you have on [TheDC’s] front page could be found at any other large rally that has happened previously at the Mall and could happen in the future,” said Line.
Line said the garbage at the “One Nation” rally was no different than any other rally. Trash, it seems, is apolitical.
“It is common, typical, regular ordinary, commonplace. You get the idea?” said Line. “It’s very commonplace with ANY rally, march demonstration, anywhere on the Mall where you have large numbers of people.”
.
An honest Parks Department employee who was on duty at both the 8/28 and 10/2 events, verifies that the trashing of the Lincoln memorial by the Leftists was the "Worst that it Gets" and The Restoring Honor Rally was very busy, very crowded, but the trash was picked up and put into piles by the participants. This could be shrugged off as insignificant, but it is a powerful example of the "unintended consequences" of the Marxist/Capitalist, Progressive/Conservative, Secular (group salvation, liberation theology)/Religious (individual salvation, Judeo Christian Culture) competing systems in America today. Those of us who were there the whole time, and watched thousands just drop their bottles, wrappers, food, or literature when they were finished with them, saw a culture of carelessness, apathy, flippancy, and neglect which is simply the root of the utter failure of Leftism every time it has been tried.

Muslim Cleric: "The Flag of Islam will one day fly over the White House"
“CHOUDARY: we do believe, as Muslims, the East and the West will one day be governed by the Sharia. Indeed, we believe that one day, the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.”
British Islamic Leader Anjem Choudary destroying a well-crafted attempt by a panel discussion led by Christianne Amanpour to portray Islam as actually a peaceful, moderate religion that no one needs to fear. Franklin Graham had attempted to tell the truth about Islam, but many on the panel had worked hard to try and dispel what he had said.
Amanpour then turned to Anjem Choudary from London, who made it clear that any practicing Muslim wants Sharia Law to hold sway all over the world – including in America.
He crowned his statement by answering Amanpour’s question if Americans should fear Islam this way:
“Indeed we believe that one day the flag of Islam will fly over the White House.”
Since Amanpour has taken helm of “This Week” from Jake Tapper, the program has suffered its lowest ratings since 2003. Perhaps the recent direction of the program is an indicator.
.
Rev. Franklin Graham told an audience today that Islam is wicked and evil and wants to build as many mosques as possible.
Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of Rev. Billy Graham, called Islam “wicked” and “evil” on Sunday during a televised town hall-style discussion about American’s feelings about the religion.
“They want to build as many mosques and cultural centers as they possibly can so they can convert as many Americans as they can to Islam,” Graham said on ABC’s “This Week.”
Graham went on to profess his love for “the Muslim people,” but said he has “great difficulty with the religion.”
“Especially with Sharia law and what it does for women – toward women, toward non-believers, the violence that is given in – under Sharia law,” Graham said.
Graham made his remarks as part of a discussion led by Christine Amanpour that included Islamic activist Daisy Khan, former GOP presidential candidate Gary Bauer, two 9/11 families, and various figures with a range of views on Islam and its role in the United States.
.
Another one on the show was Daisy Khan the wife of the Imam Rauf that are bound and determined to build the NY Mosque at Ground Zero area.
Daisy Khan and her husband Imam Rauf have been ripping off the taxpayers for decades. They are being sued by Union City. Daisy and Rauf took millions of taxpayer monies -- they snagged more than $2 million in public financing to renovate low-income apartments. Rauf kept the money and never made the repairs. He took the money and forced good people to live with vermin and dilapidation.
Rauf and his wife, Daisy the Con, listed their one-bedroom apartment as a mosque in order to conduct what amounts to tax fraud. Rauf got the wildly valuable tax-exempt status for his Muslim organization after deceiving the IRS. He claimed as many as 500 of its members prayed in that tiny one bedroom apartment (also listed as Daisy's residence). Rauf sought "church status" -- to avoid paying taxes.
This Daisy Khan then claimed she has received threats, but she wouldn't have guards because "this was America," and she didn't want to cost the taxpayer money.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was forced to leave the Netherlands because of the threats on her head. She was raised a Muslim in Somalia but fled her country and renounced Islam -- she has since received death threats for condemning Islamic jihad.
KHAN: First of all, I think that if we have to create a counter against extremism, it's Muslims who have to lead that. And it has to be Muslims like myself and people in the audience and around the country. But with the assistance of people of other faiths and other persuasions. And we have to -- we have to run an interference. I'll give an example of this. Terry Jones was about to burn the Koran. And who ran the interference? It was the evangelical community against their own, because they said, "You do not represent Christianity. And you are not going to sit and go this place and tell them they can't establish a mosque. And you're not going to sit and talk to this imam because we said so." This is what we Muslims want to do, but you have tied our hands. You don't allow us to do this because you brand somebody like me as an extremist, and throw me into the arms of al-Qaeda.
HIRSI: You are sitting here at ABC TV, you've got a great job --
(crosstalk)
HIRSI: You have freedom to move anywhere, no one is throwing you anywhere. your rights are protected. I think that it's your perception of being a victim, and I think that's --
KHAN: I am not a victim, Ayaan. Stop calling me that. You're the one running with all the bodyguards.
(CROSSTALK)
ALI: no you are
GADIEL: she needs it
KHAN: Let me answer. For the record. My life is under threat.
Gary BAUER: Yes, we all are, anybody in --
KHAN: No, hold on one second.
Gary BAUER: Anybody in public life, in a free society has nuts that threaten their lives. everyone.
KHAN: Check with the police department. My husband's life is under threat. We do not walk around with bodyguards, because we love this country.
Gary BAUER: Oh, come on.
KHAN: We don't walk around with big bodyguards.
Gary BAUER: You don't have to, and you don't have to --
KHAN: Because we don't want use taxpayer's money.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Christianne Amanpour is pushing Islam and has been for a long time. This whole show on Sunday that she did was sickening and she pushed hard for the pro Islamics take over the debate.
Don't you just love how there is a concentrated effort from the left to push Islam on us.
Also I have my doubts about anything that Daisy Khan said. The thing is Muslims lie and we can never believe them.
British Islamic Leader Anjem Choudary comments and the one about the flag of islam flying over the WH one day.
Just the fact that Hussein Obama got elected after 9/11, and with obscured resume, tells us how easy a task this is for them if this does happen with the islam flag. I pray with all my heart it never happens but with Obama in office I honestly am very concerned. One thing the muslims are forgetting, there is a spirit that prevails in well over half of America of a love for our country that the left does not have. And when it comes to fighting back all hell will break out if it does come to flying the islam flag like he said or shaira law happening.

Vote Out Every Senator Or Representative Who Voted ‘Yes’ For Obamacare
Vote Out Every Senator Or Representative Who Voted ‘Yes’ For Obamacare
By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Ignore the ‘diversion’ propaganda on the campaign trail. A vote for Obamacare was a vote to destroy America’s financial foundation, your privacy rights and the best healthcare system on the face of Earth. This is not an exaggeration. If you don’t know how your Congressman voted you are uninformed and should check out this summary of the vote by name at http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll165.xml
Not one Congressional representative read the 2500 pages of bureaucratic dung written by socialist control freaks which is designed to kill the free enterprise healthcare system and set up a system of rationing, higher taxation and invasion of personal privacy. Many Congressional dumb nuts showed no moral courage and either accepted bribes or succumbed to threats by powerful committee chairs. A vote for the Obamacare bill was a vote for fraud promulgated on the voters and against the Constitution. Every one of these Fedzillacrat morons who voted for Obamacare must go. Otherwise they will stay and commit more crimes against “We the People.” America is financially broken but the U.S. Treasury keeps printing paper money to fill the empty piggy banks of government entitlement programs which are now largely icons designed to get votes for socialists, since the ‘trust funds’ for these entitlements were stolen for other pet projects sponsored by ‘both sides of the aisle’ and are now just IOUs by Congress to the people---IOUs which still must be funded by theft from taxpayers and devaluation of our currency by the printing presses.
Obama’s economic team has abandoned him. Why? Could it be they are embarrassed by their inability to implement obvious solutions to the economic downturn over the perverted wishes of their leader? Even so, Barry Soetoro and his czars who represent every fringe element of society remain in control---none having undergone background checks since the Fedzilla Bunglers of Investigation only performs those when the President asks them to (this policy was confirmed by direct communication between this author and the FBI last year). They too are mere servants of the Administration and not engaged in protection of America from the ultimate preventable threat---hijacking of our government by America-haters who want to promulgate racial, ethnic and class warfare as a method of control over We the People. My Constitution says they do not have that right!
So WHEN you vote, NOT IF, vote for patriots who support We the People and not for those who have willfully or complicity assisted in this hijacking of America in order to implement fundamental transformation from a nation of liberty and equal opportunity to one of tyranny and destruction of the world’s largest economy in order to fulfill their revolutionary ideology which is not American. By the way---a recent poll shows that as many as 39% of voters would vote for Obama again. Are there still that many stupid American voters who just don’t get it?

Teaser Of Rush Limbaugh on FAMILY GUY Airing Tonight
.
Family Guy....FOX
.
Rush On Why He Agreed To Family Guy Starring Role
While Rush Limbaugh is more than accustomed to incoming flak from the left, criticism from the right is a bit less common. A starring role in an episode of Family Guy, however, has turned the usual order of things upside down.
Due to air Sunday October 3, the plot centers around Limbaugh's "conversion" of far-left Brian, which subsequently goes awry:
When Brian learns that Rush Limbaugh (guest-voicing as himself) is going to be at the Quahog Mall for a book-signing, he decides to go down there and give him a piece of his left-wing mind. But when Rush unexpectedly comes to Brian’s rescue, Brian has a political change of heart in the all-new “Excellence in Broadcasting” episode of FAMILY GUY airing Sunday, Oct. 3 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX
While this does have the potential to reach a large new audience not normally part of Rush's demographic, some conservatives are less than happy about his association with the Hollywood left. From Daniel Foster at National Review Online:
It is to Mr. Limbaugh’s credit that he can make fun of himself. But Seth MacFarlane, the whiskey-soaked Dada creator of Family Guy, is responsible for more sophomoric cartooning than the combined patrons of America’s truck stop and dive bar bathrooms. His shows are full of misanthropic, misogynist, racist, and anti-Semitic jokes admixed with just enough ironic distance and liberal cheerleading to stave off the blanket condemnation of the PC Left.
So, as someone who has in the past suggested that if MacFarlane really cared about liberal causes, he’d stop associating himself with them, I can only look at the Limbaugh-MacFarlane mash-up with a wary eye.
With that in mind, your Radio Equalizer asked Limbaugh for insight into his decision to appear on a notorious lefty program:
RADIO EQUALIZER: Rush, I'm getting emails asking why you're appearing "on that disgusting program."
My answer to one: He's reaching out to millions of young people who've only heard horrible things about him. He needs to lure them to the talk radio medium or we will eventually be winding it all down for good. These kids live in a world where that kind of content is all around them. The only way to reach out is to enter their environment long enough to invite them to our side.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: Exactly right. (It's the) same reason I did the Playboy interview in 1993. Same reason I took the Rush to Excellence Tour to a Vegas hotel. It's called crossover.
And this episode is not disgusting. It's hilarious. It's a CARTOON.
RADIO EQUALIZER: Did you get a lot of flak at the time for the Playboy interview? Similar to this? A question I've received: "why's he helping lefty Hollywood types who hate us?"
RUSH LIMBAUGH: Yes, I did. And on other occasions I can't recall. This is my third Family Guy but first as the star. Seth MacFarlane doesn't hate me. Or Andrew Breitbart, who he met on Maher's show and really liked.
Besides, it was a new career challenge, a new experience. It was a LOT of work. I sing, and I'm deaf! Getting the melody down was next to impossible. It was challenging on many levels. And it is an unpredictable thing to do. It will stymie critics. I'm a performer. This was fun. Seth wants to do even more.
Seth was among the FIRST to reach out to me in Hawaii when I had that heart scare. I am not helping the Hollywood Left. His show is going to be on the air regardless what I do.
BUT, the better way to look at this is that they bent for me. I did not bend to them. It's not as though I endorse or support libs on this show. The other way around. A huge lib character becomes a conservative.
RADIO EQUALIZER: Thanks, Rush, we'll be watching.

Rush is having some fun and I am glad. Love the way Rush does things, it really ticks off the left more then anyone.

Democrats (America's National, Socialist Communist Party) Disgusting Slobs Trash D.C At Their " One Nation" Rally
Socialist protesters and paraphernalia dominated yesterday's left-wing protest rally in Washington, DC. The so-called "One Nation" rally was led by labor unions as an attempt to counter Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally, which took place in DC on 8-28-2010.
Video and photos taken after the One Nation Working Together Rally concluded show that participants left significant amounts of trash at memorials in our nation's capital dedicated to fallen American servicemen.
The World War II Memorial on the National Mall, which is opposite the Lincoln Memorial where the rally was held in the afternoon, had food trash and rally signs all around the granite seating along the perimeter of the Pacific side of the memorial. Colorful signs bearing the logo of rally co-sponsor SEIU are prevalant.
CBS News ran an article on the “One Nation Working Together Rally” in which they admit that the crowd for this assortment of “Progressive” Groups was smaller than the Glenn Beck 8/28 “Restoring Honor” Rally. It’s really late in the article, but it’s there:
CBS NEWS: The event drew a thousands-strong smattering of groups, from those who wore their union T-shirts and others who carried banners advocating expanding Medicare for all Americans. While the Beck rally stretched down the iconic National Mall, Saturday’s event seemed smaller along the reflecting pool and other monuments.
And from AP
AP: . . . . Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally.
.
Socialists trash Washington DC

One of the speakers urged members to struggle and go to jail together.
.
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz addressing the “One Nation Working Together” Rally in Washington today, where he told them, “We together must fight the forces of evil – the conservatives in this country, across the board.”
Schultz also accused conservatives of wanting to “change” the country. Um… Ed, it was Obama and you “progressives” who ran on a platform of wanting to “fundamentally change” America. Conservatives want to conserve – preserve the principles that have made America the great nation she is. YOU are the ones who want to “change” America. Conservatives are trying to save the nation from the Left’s radical agenda.

Colonel Michael Steele Captivates Audience
powerful video showing Col. Michael Steele speaking to an audience in Atlanta on the “Cost of Freedom.” Col. Steele’s audience included many wounded soldiers. Steele answers to main questions: Who is paying the cost of Freedom? What is the primary commodity with which it is purchased?
Here’s the description of the video posted at YouTube:
Powerful Speech-”Patriotism without Action is Counterfeit!”. Colonel Steele moved, inspired, challenged, and captivated the audience at a recent dinner to honor our heroes. Within the audience were many “wounded warriors” being treated in Atlanta area facilities. The speech included other stories of sacrifice and valor not included here for the sake of time. Herman Cain attended the event, as well as many political candidates, all there to honor those who risk and give their lives for us. Commenting later, on his radio program, Herman Cain said that as he reflected on this powerful speech he got so angry and sick, thinking of the political games played with our military in Washington. It is stunning to think of the slander, abuse, and neglect many Leftist politicians have perpetrated on our heroes over the years, from the John Kerry’s slander after Vietnam to the recent DADT and “Dream Act” shenanigans in the recent Defense Appropriations Bill. These “leaders” are shameless, and are not worthy to look men such as Colonel Steele in the eyes.

"Jammin" by Charlie Daniels
" Jammin "
by Charlie Daniels
After being in the music business for 52 years it's just about all I know anything at all about -- and in keeping with my admittedly narrow knowledge -- I would like to draw an analogy concerning the Obama administration, viewing things from my vantage point.
Ok, let's say you pick out the finest symphony conductor in the world, add the greatest singer and seven or so of the finest classical musicians on the planet. You get them together backstage and say, "Alright, there are twenty thousand fans out front, standing room only, expectations are off the charts, they are looking for the best show they've ever seen. Now the curtain goes up in five minutes, the sound has been checked out, the lights set and everything is perfect, the stage is set for the greatest show the world has ever seen. So get out there and knock 'em out guys! They're all with you; you're all superstars in their eyes. Go show 'em how it's done. Oh yes, there's only been one change . . . tonight you have to do your show playing songs you've never played and you'll have to improvise. There's no sheet music. You'll just have to jam."
Can you imagine the panic backstage? You see, some of the very finest musicians on earth can't jam a lick. I remember a few years ago when I had a couple of young fiddle players come on stage with me and play "The South's Gonna Do It Again." They had learned the parts I'd played on the record, arrangement, lead lines and all and played it perfectly note for note.
Everything was going swimmingly until I decided to leave the arrangement and jam for a while. When I turned to one of them and told them to take a solo, the kid was as lost as a baby sheep in a hail storm. They had no more idea about improvising than they did about how to build a spaceship.
"The South's Gonna Do It Again" is a simple twelve bar blues song that any musician from any garage band would be able to take a solo on, but even though these kids were extremely talented and played what they knew perfectly, when it came to jammin', they were totally lost. They had just never learned to do it.
To me the presidency is kind of like jammin'. You have to roll with the flow, improvise, adapt to the moment, pick up on what's going on and deal with it.
Our president has never had to jam, he's always had the sheet music in front of him and he's never had to play a note that somebody else had not written for him.
One of the biggest mistakes President Obama made when he came in office was to surround himself with a bunch of players who had never jammed either. None of them have ever had any practical experience in the real world.
In essence, they are a bunch of paper tigers, they do an incredible job of spending other people's money and sneaking legislation through the back door, but out in the real world, where there are no scripts, down where the rubber meets the road, there is probably not a person in the bunch who could change a flat tire, much less deal with the complex problems America faces.
The only thing Obama has done with any problem that has arisen is to throw money at it (our money), and in truth, that's sadly all he knows how to do. When it comes to dealing with things that money alone won't fix, like busted oil pipes at the bottom of the ocean, or solving the problems on our southern borders, he's lost and all those around him are lost.
The Obama cabinet is the most inept bunch imaginable. When people have only viewed the world from the top of an ivory tower they don't react very well when it's time to get their hands dirty.
Obama's people can't even accept real world concepts of the dangerous situations we're dealing with. Eric Holder wanting to try terrorists in civilian courts, in New York City of all places is nothing less than naive arrogance.
Janet Napolitano's gross inexperience in dealing with security matters is going to end up costing this country dearly.
Putting an unqualified person who has never even been a judge on the bench of the highest court in the land, for nothing more than her political leanings, is insanity.
Everywhere you look you see eggheads with nothing more than a college degree to qualify them for the sensitive jobs they hold.
I'm just wondering how long it will take for a majority of the people in this country to realize that the wheel that steers the direction of this nation is in the hands of people who have no idea how to get from point "A" to point "B" without a roadmap and that road map just doesn't exist. Every trip is different.
I see disaster looming on the not too distant horizon, financial disaster, increasing danger from terrorist attack, unabated violence in the streets and an arrogant and unmanageable illegal alien population.
It's coming, folks, and Obama and the band are still in the dressing room looking for the sheet music . . . They just can't jam ! ! !
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, and for our country.
God Bless America !

Rick “Hit&Run” Sanchez Fired From CNN
CNN released this statement :
“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“
They will broadcast CNN Newsroom from 3-5pm for the foreseeable future.
CNN’s Rick Sanchez is not happy with being made fun of constantly on The Daily Show and Colbert Report. It is from this jumping off point that he absolutely unleashed on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and at times his own network, on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show yesterday.
The big takeaway – Sanchez calls Stewart “a bigot,” then walks it back a bit, and he implies CNN is run by Jews.
Dominick was not just a radio show host – he is a CNN contributor who has a regular gig on John King, USA (more on that below), and he formerly was the warm up comic at The Daily Show. Which is why when Sanchez says “I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot” early in the interview, Dominick pushed back:
Dominick: How is he a bigot?
Sanchez: I think he looks at the world through, his mom, who was a school teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that. Great, I’m so happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could ever imagine.
Dominick: What group is he bigoted towards?
Sanchez: Everybody else who’s not like him. Look at his show, I mean, what does he surround himself with?
A few minutes later, Sanchez takes back the word “bigot,” changing it to “prejudicial” and “uninformed.”
Later in the interview, Dominick brings up the fact that Stewart is Jewish, so is a minority himself. Sanchez laughs this off:
I’m telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority? Yeah.
If that wasn’t clear, the “yeah” was sarcastic. “I can’t see somebody not getting a job somewhere because they’re Jewish,” says Sanchez.
Past stories about this jerk..................
Drunk Rick Sanchez of CNN Is A Hit and Run Driver Now Also LIES About Rush
Rick Sanchez quoted Rush Limbaugh on CNN and the quote was fabricated. The racially insensitive quote attributed to Limbaugh was made up on the internet and not uttered by Rush.
Sanchez has refused to apologize for using the quote in a hit job on Limbaugh designed to destroy Limbaugh’s bid for the St. Louis Rams.
Rick Sanchez ran over a man and left the guy for dead.
It was December 10, 1990. Sanchez was leaving a Miami Dolphins game when he ran over a man. Sanchez fled the scene for two hours.
Finally, Sanchez came back. Two hours after the incident, Sanchez was still drunk — well above the legal limit. But Sanchez was a well known Miami reporter with lots of friends on the police force. He was never charged with the hit and run. He just pled no contest to DUI.
The man Sanchez hit and ran away from? He died in 1995, paralyzed and in a nursing home.
This is the guy who decided to take to television this week and moralize against Rush
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Sanchez is a horrible person. If there was a list of all the things he has said that were outright lies just so he could spew his hate for the right it would be a very long list.
He should have been fired a long time ago. He should have been fired when he slammed and lied about Rush Limbaugh!!!!!

Army Bids Goodbye to Last Draftee Who Served in Vietnam
Chief Warrant Officer Clyde Green and his wife Veria, in front of their house on base. Chief Warrant Officer Clyde Green, one of the last men drafted into the Army, and a Vietnam veteran, is retiring after 40 years of service in a ceremony to be held at Fort McPherson Sept. 30, 2010
.
Two year old Jeremiah Green, staying with his grandparents for the retirement ceremony, looks up to his grandfather, Chief Warrant Officer Clyde Green.
.
Last draftee who served in Vietnam retires
Army Bids Goodbye to Last Draftee
He was a kid who didn't want to be a Soldier. There was a war in Vietnam and a peace movement in America.
But then he got the government's letter and soon found himself on a cold December morning in 1970 in front of a post office in Sumter, S.C., listening to a Soldier read names until he heard his: "Clyde Green!" With that, the 20-year-old kid climbed on the bus headed to a U.S. Army base.
"I didn't want to join the Army," Green said last week. "The Army came and got me."
When he retired as a chief warrant officer in a ceremony this morning at Fort McPherson, Ga. --- after 39 years, 9 months and 15 days of continuous active duty --- he became, by the best accounting, the last U.S. Army draftee who fought in Vietnam.
"It's hard for us to speak in absolutes," said Richard Stewart, chief historian for the U.S. Army Center of Military History. "We're not good at keeping records like that. As soon as we say he's the last, another four will pop up. But he's certainly one of the last."
Finding a purpose
It is hard to imagine now the days when soldiering wasn't always by choice, when supporting the troops could involve a great deal more than car decals and applauding troops in uniform in airports. Often, it meant you might be one of them. It also meant you might go to war and it meant you might not come back.
Green, 60, is perhaps the last human link to those days.
The Army ended the draft in 1973 and at least one other draftee is still on active duty. But he was drafted later than Green and didn't serve in Vietnam. Green couldn't imagine serving in Vietnam either. At the time, his brother Willie was already in the Army, serving in the Signal Corps and stationed at Fort Gordon in Augusta. But Green wanted no part of this man's Army.
"When I got that letter, I thought my whole world was ending," he said.
The bus ride, induction and boot camp in Fort Knox, Ky., in January confirmed there was, indeed, a new world order and Green was at the bottom of it --- freezing his fanny.
"It was cold and really tough at first," he said. "But then I kind of got where I enjoyed it, once I figured out who was in charge."
The discipline of military life he had feared became a comfort.
"I liked the order," he said. And his uncertainty about what to study in college was suddenly a riddle solved: "I really liked the idea of military intelligence."
For the next four decades the kid who grew up on a farm in South Carolina, whose dreams had once stretched no farther than Orangeburg and South Carolina State University, traveled the world and lived a Soldier's life. Over time, the reluctant draftee became the career Soldier.
Attitudes change
He rose from enlisted man to chief warrant officer in military intelligence and served extended tours in Italy and South Korea. He visited 41 countries and posted in places --- the Middle East, Asia and East Africa --- he barely knew of, along with two stretches in the place he can least forget: Vietnam.
Green served his first stint there from June 1971 to May 1972 as an "intelligence Soldier," deciphering information gathered in the field. He examined captured equipment to determine, for instance, how many rounds an enemy anti-aircraft gun could fire. He interrogated captured enemy Soldiers in a war that a growing number of Americans opposed back home.
That experience, as a Soldier serving his country without any choice and risking his life, without much appreciation, still stings.
"At the time, we weren't really loved by the American people," Green said. "I never personally experienced it, but there was hostility. It was a different time. People weren't as supportive of the military."
It would be 23 years before Green returned to Vietnam. By then he had fought in his second war, the Persian Gulf in 1990. And he found America a different place for a returning Soldier, even an old draftee, by then a bit grizzled, who had served in Vietnam.
"If you were in uniform in public, people would come up and start talking to you," he said, "and tell you what a good job you're doing."
His second trip to Vietnam came with the Vietnam Joint Task Force-Full Accounting (MIA/POW), to seek any prisoners of war still in captivity and determine what happened to more than 1,700 Americans still missing in action in Southeast Asia. From 1995 to 2001, he and his team searched, scoured for remains and interviewed scores of witnesses.
They found no POWs but determined the fate of three MIAs, one of them an Army captain who served in Green's unit when he was in Vietnam the first time. They didn't find Capt. Frederick Krupa's remains, but they determined he was killed.
"He was shot in a helicopter and fell out during an extraction, so we were able to list him as KIA [killed in action]," Green said.
'Served ... with distinction'
At today's ceremony, Lt. Gen. Richard P. Zahner will praise the man believed to be the Army's longest serving draftee as a Soldier who "has served his country with distinction and has touched the lives of countless men and women in uniform," and who has contributed immeasurably to the Army's Military Intelligence in his 30 years as a warrant officer.
Green's family from all over the country will be there: his sons Brian, 29, and Stephen, 27, and wife of 34 years, Veria. He'll live at Fort McPherson for two more months --- "I have to pay rent now" --- in what, fittingly, is the oldest house on base, built in 1887.
After that, he has a farm in North Carolina where he might settle, unless Veria wins that argument and they move to Arizona.
"I hope I can talk her into it," he said.
And if he doesn't, it won't be the first time Clyde Green's plans for the rest of his life changed.

Mark Levin and Greta Van Susteren The Good Lawyers vs. Gloria Allred The Despicable Lawyer
Greta Van Susteren destroyed far left hack and attorney Gloria Allred on her show tonight. Great blasted Allred for her despicable hit on Meg Whitman and for using an illegal alien to smear the Whitman family.
Meg Whitman only paid her $23 an hour for 15 hours of work a week.

I’m surprised Allred hasn’t been sanctioned by the Bar yet.
After getting creamed by Mark Levin, Gloria Allred hadn't had enough. She went on Greta Van Susteren's show and got creamed. Gloria is just not ready for the new world of non-liberal media, where people don't lap up liberal pablum as the best tasting gazpacho this side of Madrid.
“She’s not an illegal alien. She’s not from another planet.”
What an idiot.
Allred was all red from the thousand cut she suffered at the hands of honest lawyers Mark Levin and Greta Van Susteren.

LTC Allen West in Support of Israel
At an event commemorating the first full year of weekly rallies in support of Israel held at Broward Boulevard and Northeast Third Avenue in Fort Lauderdale Florida Congressional candidate Allen West details his reasons to support Israel.
“If you want to free Palestine then you give it back to the people who had it in the first place, the Jewish people.”
“It is not time for appeasement, it is not time for negotiation, it is not time for compromise. Every time we give them land they want more." - West.

Mexican Pirates Shoot US Man on Jet Ski in the Back of the Head In US Waters
Wife's desperate search for her husband after he is 'shot in the back of the head by Mexican pirates while jet-skiing'
According to a Texas sheriff the pirates shot David Hartley in the back of the head and then shot at his wife in US waters. Authorities are still searching for his body.
A young wife is desperately searching for her husband after he was shot in the back of the head by Mexican pirates in an ambush while they were jet-skiing on a border lake.
Search teams are combing the U.S. side of Falcon Lake in Texas for David Michael Hartley, 30, after he was apparently gunned down while his wife Tiffany fled to safety in a hail of bullets.
The couple had been jet-skiing on the lake when they were attacked.
Texas officials have been warning against activity on the lake after at least five reported run-ins with pirates this year. Previous hold-ups have never been deadly.
Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said Mrs Hartley, 29, fears her husband is dead.
He said she told police that the couple rode their Jet Skis for sightseeing and to take pictures of a famous church in Old Guerrero.
They were riding back when they saw the armed gunmen on the boats, and immediately began racing back to U.S. waters.
David Hartley didn't make it. His wife told authorities he was shot in the back of the head.
One of the boats may have crossed into U.S. waters briefly while trying to run down Mrs Hartley.
Gonzalez said he had contacted the Mexican consulate to ask them to search for Hartley on its side of the lake.
'I'm not trying to place the blame on her or him,' Gonzalez said.
'But we've told people not to go over there, and now this happens.'
Texas Parks & Wildlife Department spokesman Mike Cox said Friday that the state planned to issue a fresh warning to boaters about staying on the U.S. side of the lake.
The last warning came in May, and some campers on the lake have taken to arming themselves.
Falcon Lake is a dammed section of the Rio Grande that straddles the border. The border is marked by 14 partially submerged concrete towers that mark the Rio Grande's path before the lake was created in 1954.
Cox said Tiffany Hartley estimated that the shooting took place about five to six miles from the Texas shoreline where she parked and called for help.
In April, pirates robbed another group of boaters who also went to Old Guerrero to see the church.
Cox said the most recent reported pirate sighting had been August 31, when boaters saw gunmen riding a small skiff with 'Game Wardin' misspelled in duct tape on the side of the vessel.
Cox said it appeared the pirates were trying to imitate state game warden boats they have seen patrolling the lake.
Gonzalez has previously chalked up the dangerous waters as the product of fighting between rival Mexican drug gangs.
Violence on the Mexican side of the lake has been climbing for several months, as a fractured partnership between the region's dominant Gulf Cartel and its former enforcers, the Zetas, plunged many of the area's Mexican border cities into violence.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
South Texas, Falcon Lake, on the border and there are mexican pirates on that lake, it has been in the news lately. They been hitting fisherman. My guess is they wanted the jet ski’s.
Lots of activity on Falcon Lake this year. I checked to see if there were other attacks and Google Pirates Falcon Lake
May 30: Mexican pirates attacked Texas fishermen on Falcon Lake; they boarded boats and demanded weapons or drugs and when the found neither, they simply robbed the fishermen.
May 18: Heavily armed Mexican freshwater pirates have been shaking down U.S. boaters on Falcon Lake, a reservoir and bass fishing haven that straddles the Rio Grande. At least three such incidents have been reported since April 30, 2010.

Medal of Honor Recipient's Family Turned Away at White House
Veteran's family denied WH tour because of shorts
SPOKANE, Wash.
The White House apologized Thursday for turning the family of a Medal of Honor recipient away from an exclusive tour last week because the late veteran's 10-year-old grandson was wearing shorts.
Vernon Baker, the last surviving black Medal of Honor winner from World War II, was buried Friday at Arlington National Cemetery after dying in July from complications of brain cancer at age 90. He belatedly received the military's top award from President Bill Clinton in 1997, after historians concluded he'd been wrongly denied because of his race.
On Saturday, his widow and grandson went to the White House for a special tour of the West Wing, which includes the Oval Office and rooms that are in use.
The staffer who was to lead the family wasn't sure whether 10-year-old Vernon Pawlik's attire — shorts and a T-shirt bearing a picture of the boy's grandfather — was considered appropriate, officials said. Another winner of the military's top award, Thomas Norris, also was turned away because he was not previously cleared for the tour.
"This is an unfortunate misunderstanding," White House spokesman Adam Abrams said Thursday. "We would have loved to have hosted 10-year-old Vernon and his family at the White House and we have reached out to the Baker family and Lt. Norris to communicate our deep regret and invite them back to the White House."
A message left at the home of Baker's widow, Heidy, who was also on the tour, was not immediately returned.
In 1945, Baker rallied black troops after their white commander deserted and they captured a German stronghold in Italy, taking out three machine gun nests, two bunkers and an observation post. But he did not receive his award for more than half a century, and no black soldiers received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for battlefield valor, during that era. An Army study initiated in the early 1990s concluded Baker and several other men had been denied the award because of racism.
Six other black World War II veterans received medals posthumously at a 1997 White House ceremony where Baker got his medal.
Baker had lived since the 1980s in a valley near St. Maries, Idaho, about 50 miles east of Spokane, Wash.
The office of Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, is working with the Baker family to help them return to the White House, said press secretary Susan Wheeler.
"The senator was upset by the news," Wheeler said. "We want to make sure they are comfortable."
Wild Thing's comment........
The family should be brought back to DC and get a personal tour of the WH.This is disgraceful. And then the family should made a LOUD announcement - NO THANKS! We'll wait until 2013 when an AMERICAN WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY occupies THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE .
I've also read that this family is not at all well-off and that they were able to travel to the burial at Arlington because of the kindness of friends and neighbors collecting money for their expenses. Not only that, but their house was re-roofed for them by those friends and neighbors.
Shorts and a tee shirt might not be "ideal" attire for the visit, but my gosh the boy's tee was worn to honor his grandfather. They couldn't see what was happening ??? And they had to know this family was not well off.
And one more thing, remember back last year how Obama and Michelle had a skateboarder in the White House, skate boarding down the hallways. sheesh. And then not to allow this sweet 10 year old in for such a special occasion, this is just horrible.

Michelle Obama's Child Nutrition Bill Stalls In House
Child nutrition bill stalls in House
WASHINGTON
AP
First lady Michelle Obama's campaign for healthier school lunches has stalled in Congress after anti-hunger groups and more than 100 Democrats protested the use of food stamp dollars to pay for it.
Passage of the child nutrition bill, which would improve lunches in schools and expand feeding programs for low-income students, has been a priority for Democrats and hunger groups for years. But the groups and many members of the House switched sides when leaders proposed a vote on a Senate-passed version of the legislation that uses future funding for food stamp programs to pay for part of the $4.5 billion cost.
One hundred and six Democrats wrote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in August calling the move egregious, saying it was not a vote they would take lightly.
Labor unions, anti-poverty groups and even New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also urged the speaker to reconsider using the food stamp money.
"It's just plain wrong," said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., a longtime advocate for childhood nutrition programs. "The way you are going to pay for a child nutrition bill is by dipping into people's food stamps? Give me a break."
The first lady has lobbied aggressively for the legislation as part of her "Let's Move" campaign to combat childhood obesity.
A spokeswoman for Mrs. Obama said Wednesday that she had "made extensive outreach" to Pelosi and other members of House leadership over the past several weeks.
To no avail. Democrats declined to take up the bill before the November elections, citing many of their members' concerns about the food stamp dollars. Many Republicans opposed the bill as well, saying it was too expensive.
Supporters had hoped to pass the bill before Thursday, when many of the child nutrition programs in the bill are scheduled to expire. An extension of those programs was included in a stopgap bill that will keep the government operating for the next two months, and supporters will try again to pass the nutrition bill when Congress returns to Washington after the elections.
If passed, the new nutrition standards would not remove popular foods like hamburgers from schools completely, but would make them healthier, using leaner meat or whole wheat buns, for example. Vending machines could be stocked with less candy and fewer high-calorie drinks.
Creation of new standards, which public health advocates have sought for a decade, has unprecedented support from many of the nation's largest food and beverage companies. The two sides came together on the issue as public pressure to remove junk foods from schools increased.
Congressional passage of the bill would be only the first step. Decisions on what kinds of foods could be sold - and what ingredients may be limited - would be left up to the Agriculture Department.
Supporters said they were hopeful the bill could be passed after the elections. McGovern said he was working with the White House to find a new way to pay for it.
Jim Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center, said he doesn't buy the argument that the House should use the food stamp money for child nutrition because it will just be used for something else. Lawmakers have been eyeing the dollars for other priorities if it isn't used for the bill.
"If people fight back, it's not inevitable," Weill said.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Another thing 'they' fail to mention here is that we already have bills providing for the same things, this is just more piggy backing, wasting money and time.
We don’t need the government spending our tax money and setting up programs telling us what and what not to eat. No more of this crap.
Each time the government takes over on anything it is more control. It might start with something that seems innocent, but it is NOT. It is control and it goes on from there.
Honestly if they or let's say America hating Michelle Obama wants people at any age to have better eating habits then try educating people. Make nutrition part of what is taught in schools instead of dress like a Muslim day and all the other PC baloney they are doing now.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Rahm Emanuel Leaving White House on Friday (Today)
Emanuel leaving White House on Friday
CHICAGO
Two people close to Rahm Emanuel said Thursday he will resign as White House chief of staff on Friday, and will begin his campaign for Chicago mayor by meeting with voters in the city on Monday.
The two people familiar with his plans, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt Emanuel's announcement, said he will return to Chicago over the weekend and begin touring neighborhoods on Monday.
"He intends to run for mayor," one of the people told The Associated Press.
Both people said they did not know when Emanuel would make an official announcement about his mayoral bid but that he would launch a website with a message to Chicago voters in the near future.
Emanuel's plans have been the source of widespread speculation both in Chicago and Washington, D.C. ever since Mayor Richard Daley announced this month he would not seek re-election. In an April television interview, Emanuel had called it "no secret" he'd like to run for mayor.
Daley, who has held the mayor's job since 1989 and carried on a family dynasty, surprised many with his announcement. The choice for Emanuel suddenly became whether he would make a dash for the political job he has openly coveted, at a cost of uprooting his family again and quitting his post of national influence sooner than he thought.

Emanuel’s Departure Set; Replacement Is Longtime Aide
Obama plans to continue reshaping his inner circle on Friday, replacing his brusque and aggressive chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, with a soft-spoken insider who has worked quietly in Mr. Obama’s shadow for years.
Pete Rouse, a senior adviser to Mr. Obama who has little public profile but considerable influence in the West Wing, will become the president’s new gatekeeper, at least through the election in November, as Mr. Emanuel moves back to Chicago to run for mayor, officials said.
Senior aides to Mr. Obama described Mr. Rouse as a temporary pick, but one who is likely to stay for several months and may in the end turn out to be the president’s final choice. Mr. Rouse has expressed reservations about holding the job for an extended period.
The decision to tap Mr. Rouse reflects a desire by the president to maintain his small circle of close advisers for now rather than bringing in an outsider or elder statesman to present a new face as Mr. Obama heads into the second half of his term with his popularity down and his party facing the possibility of big losses in November. Known as a fixer inside the White House, Mr. Rouse has had a largely unseen hand in most of the president’s big policy decisions of the last 20 months.
“There’s a complete loyalty and trust with somebody like Pete,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.
Mr. Obama’s top economic adviser, Lawrence H. Summers, director of the National Economic Council, has already announced that he will depart by the end of the year, the third member of the economic team to leave in recent months. David Axelrod, his political counselor, is expected to leave next year to focus on Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign. The president is also expected to shake up his national security team, meaning that he will have reshuffled much of his West Wing staff by the time he has been in office for two years.
From Yahoo
Advisers such as David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs are more widely credited with crafting Obama's successful presidential run -- but Rouse was the actual steward of Obama's presidential ambitions, assembling a strategy document that put the senator on the path to his 2008 presidential bid. "There would be no Obama without Pete," says a Democratic strategist who has worked closely with the Obama team.

Chicago, if you elect this low life you deserve the consequences.
Regarding Pete Rouse, there really isn't one person in Obama's life that is not a low life anti-America person. It just never ends with this horrible Obama and his people.

“ An Inconsistent Truth" Trailers For The Film
From director Shayne Edwards and Phil Valentine, An Inconsistent Truth takes you along for the ride on one man's quest for the truth. Many people believe in man-made global warming but don't know why. This is one of the most important issues of our day yet the average American knows so very little about what's really going on. Is that by design? Who stands to make billions off cap-and-trade legislation? Why do those who raise their voices the loudest lead the most wasteful lifestyles? Is carbon dioxide really a pollutant or is it a harmless gas that's essential to life here on Earth?
This movie is an entertaining, fact-filled odyssey that will have you thinking, cheering and laughing. Phil Valentine goes straight to the experts and so-called experts and demands to know the truth. And the truth just may change your life.
Join Phil as he climbs aboard his "BioBenz" named Bennie, a car that runs on biodiesel that Phil makes from used vegetable oil. Phil talks with scientists and politicians and relentlessly pursues an audience with the poster boy of global warming himself, Al Gore. He takes the punches and throws a few himself.
.
This second one is my favorite. haha

Obamafreak a Caller Named "Bob" and Lovable ElRushbo
Rush Limbaugh exchange with a caller that happened yesterday. Limbaugh took a call from “Bob,” who promptly told Rush to “get your a** back over there,” speaking of the European countries where Rush’s “forefathers” came from. “Bob” also told Rush he is “running our country in the ground,” because he opposes Obama – whom “Bob” says is trying to help the “poor people.”
As Rush talked with Bob, it became clear that he is a “Native American,” and believes “white people” have ruined the country and ought to go back where they came from. Limbaugh later praises “Bob” for proving his point – that Obama has a negative view of the founding principles of America, and is therefore trying to radically change America.
Wild Thing's comment.........
LOL it also sounds like this Bob person has been having some firewater.
I love how Rush handles the obama freaks.
