Three Convicted in Terror-Related Cases Later Granted U.S. Citizenship by Obama Administration
Three people convicted of crimes as a result of a terrorism-related investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) were later naturalized as U.S. citizens by the Obama administration, according to federal auditors.
The March 2011 audit (released on April 21, 2011) by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), entitled Criminal Alien Statistics:
Information on Incarcerations, Arrests and Costs, shows that three individuals were among “defendants where the investigation involved an identified link to international terrorism but they were charged with violating other statutes [not directly related to terrorism], including fraud, immigration, drugs, false statements, and general conspiracy charges,” referred by DOJ as Category II terrorism-related cases.
The three individuals in question can be found in a DOJ list of unsealed terrorism-related investigations conducted from Sept. 11, 2001 through Mar. 18, 2010. There are 403 defendants on that list of which, according to the GAO, at least 43 percent were aliens — both legal (26 percent) and illegal (17 percent) — at the time they were charged with crimes
“Prosecuting terror-related targets using Category II offenses and others is often an effective method--and sometimes the only available method--of deterring and disrupting potential terrorist planning and support activities,” explained the DOJ in the document that listed the defendants.
Staff members of GAO's Homeland Security and Justice team who worked on the audit told CNSNews.com in an e-mail that the three individuals were naturalized as U.S. citizens under President Barack Obama.

It's 3 am and nobody's there!
It is treason and aiding and abetting terrorists yet again for Obama and his administration .
If a republican can’t beat Obama in 2012 with all this ammo, then there really is no hope for America!
We need someone that speaks out for us and for our country, someone that loves America. Someone like Sarah Palin or Allen West would be awesome.

U.S. Attorney: Feds Could Challenge Missouri Anti-Sharia Legislation
U.S. Attorney: Feds Could Challenge Missouri Anti-Sharia Legislation
U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Richard Callahan visited the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis last night to address the fears and frustrations of Muslim Americans who worry they are being racially profiled and wiretapped — and to assure them that the Missouri Legislature’s attempts to ban Sharia law from being considered in state courts here could face Constitutional challenges.
Seated in front of a large Muslim audience during a town hall-style meeting at the Ballwin mosque, Callahan anchored a panel that included fellow federal attorneys (one of whom was Muslim American), as well as three members of the FBI.
“There is a worse kind of Muslim hatred recently,” said Adil Imdad, one of the event’s organizers. “Especially in the last two years, Islamophobia and fear-mongering have been spreading like wildfire, and it’s causing a lot of stress for our youth.”
The problem is now hitting a little closer to home, said Imdad, pointing to three bills currently circulating through the state legislature that seek to limit Sharia law (Islamic law) in Missouri courts. Sharia law could come into play in rulings considering child custody or prisoner rights for Muslims. As we’ve reported, the bills have become a source of controversy.
Callahan responded by hinting that, should anti-Sharia legislation get passed by the Missouri Legislature, it could be overturned by the federal courts. “The Department of Justice has a good history of challenging laws passed by state legislatures,” he said. “If some laws are passed, I think you will see challenges by the federal government on the constitutionality of them.”
Wild Thing's comment........
Every State has got to say NO to Shaira law. Once a State let's sharia law in it will be the end of every.

Donald Trump in Vegas: 'Our leaders are stupid'
Donald Trump in Vegas: 'Our leaders are stupid'
Real estate developer Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of profanity in a speech at a boisterous Las Vegas casino as he assured a crowd of adoring supporters Thursday night that he is seriously weighing a presidential run and will make a decision soon.
During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation’s leaders.
Donald Trump blasted the stupid people in the Obama Administration last night at an event in Las Vegas. The businessman also said had a few choice words for OPEC and China.
“Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people,” he said. “It’s just very, very sad.”
The setting was fitting for the casino mogul whose moniker is draped across the gold-tinged Trump International Hotel & Tower just off the Las Vegas Strip. An open bar greeted more than 1,000 people, waiters passed hors d’oeuvres and a Trump impersonator entertained the crowd…
…He said he wouldn’t help struggling nations such as South Korea or Libya without payment and promised to use swear words while negotiating with China.
“I’m not interested in protecting none of them unless they pay,” he said.
Wild Thing's comment.......
We may or may not agree with everything Trump says. But what I do like is how he speaks up and I hope the rest of the politicians will see that we reacted VERY positive to Sarah Paliln as well, because she spoke up even while McCain the rino was trying to silence her.

San Francisco Chronicle Says The White House (Obama) Is Lying
San Francisco Chronicle said the White House is lying
SF Gate ( San Francisco Chronicle )
Update: Chronicle responds after Obama Administration punishes reporter for using multimedia, then claims they didn't
Update: In a pants-on-fire moment, the White House press office today denied anyone there had issued threats to remove Carla Marinucci and possibly other Hearst reporters from the press pool covering the President in the Bay Area.
Chronicle editor Ward Bushee called the press office on its fib:
Sadly, we expected the White House to respond in this manner based on our experiences yesterday. It is not a truthful response. It follows a day of off-the-record exchanges with key people in the White House communications office who told us they would remove our reporter, then threatened retaliation to Chronicle and Hearst reporters if we reported on the ban, and then recanted to say our reporter might not be removed after all.
The Chronicle's report is accurate.
If the White House has indeed decided not to ban our reporter, we would like an on-the-record notice that she will remain the San Francisco print pool reporter.
I was on some of those calls and can confirm Ward's statement.
Messy ball now firmly in White House court.
The hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.
White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.
~snipet ~
The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci was part of a "print pool" - a limited number of journalists at an event who represent their bigger hoard colleagues - which White House press officials still refer to quaintly as "pen and pad" reporting.
So what's up with the White House? We can't say because neither Press Secretary Jay Carney nor anyone from his staff would speak on the record.
Other sources confirmed that Carla was vanquished, including Chronicle editor Ward Bushee, who said he was "informed that Carla was removed as a pool reporter." Which shouldn't be a secret in any case because it's a fact that affects the newsgathering of our largest regional paper (and sfgate)and how local citizens get their information.
What's worse: more than a few journalists familiar with this story are aware of some implied threats from the White House of additional and wider punishment if Carla's spanking became public. Really? That's a heavy hand usually reserved for places other than the land of the free.
CBS News reporter, Mark Knoller, has publicly protested the limited press access to Obama fundraisers, calling the policy "inconsistent." "It's no way to do business," wrote Politico's Julie Mason, "especially [for] a candidate who prides himself on transparency."
A 2009 blog by the White House Director of New Media states that "President Obama is committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history."
Not last week.
Late today, there were hints that the White House might be backing off the Carla Fatwa.

Wild Thing's comment........
This is an UPDATE from the story about this I posted yesterday. I am really loving how the drama of it continues. If we can see the media getting ticked enough at obama and do it openly it will help a lot in the next election. It won't change the kool-aid obama drinkers but it will sway the ones on the fence to wake up.
The obama administration has been caught telling numerous lies to the White House press corps. Up until now the press corps has not called out the administration.
LOL obama really screwed up this time. He thinks he is so ‘all powerful’ that he can spit in the face of the very people who got him elected.
Even the Left-wing media is catching up to his dictatorial manner. I don't see any more Peace Prizes in his future.
Interesting that this is all happening right after the official birth certificate release that clearly shows that he is not qualified to be president.

Obama's Valerie Jarrett to Trump: You Can Forget About the Obama's School Records ~ LOL Must Be Really Bad!
White House senior advisor told listeners of The Joe Madison Show on SiriusXM today that the Obama Administration will not release the president’s college records.
This came after Donald Trump told Obama yesterday that he needs to release his school records too.
Valerie Jarrett shutting down Trump: No college transcript release.
The Chicago Sun-Times
White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett said President Obama will not release his academic records, commenting a day after Obama put out his “long form” birth certificate and Donald Trump decided to press his luck by demanding Obama’s college transcripts.
“We know this is nonsense,” Jarrett said in an interview on The Joe Madison Show on SiriusXM on Thursday morning.”He is almost 50 years old. And he is president of the United States and I don’t think anybody will debate his intelligence and so now we do need to get serious…let’s just get serious…get back to focusing on what’s important.
Trump, on a birther roll as he explores a 2012 GOP presidential run, claimed credit for forcing Obama to finally release the “long form,” which proved what had been proved before–Obama was born in Hawaii. Trump is now on another tangent, asking why Obama never released college transcripts and wondering how he got into Occidential and Harvard.
.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Valerie, statements like that aren't helping. Unless of course you want people to thing that you're arrogant, contemptuous and have something to hide.
His grades must have been really bad and they must be scared of his acceptance records being public.
Well, he thinks:
•There are 57 states in the US;
•and he's been to 56 of them;
•10,000 people were killed by tornadoes in Kansas one week;
•Austrian is a language;
•It's the Naval "corpse;"
Bush’s college transcripts were published. The left made fun of his C’s (forgetting that when Bush went to Yale, grade inflation hadn’t hit the Ivy League yet) until Kerry’s were published, too, and it turned out his Yale GPA was worse.
Earth to Valerie ,, I don’t care what his grades are ,, I want to know if he registered as a foreign student being that the Saudi’s appear to have paid his freight at HA’Vaad.

Obama and His WH Threaten San Francisco Chronicle For Video Of Protest Of Obama At His Fundraiser in S.F.
Protesters disrupt President Obama's breakfast fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco on April 21.
SF Chronicle video prompts White House threat
The White House threatened Thursday to exclude The San Francisco Chronicle from pooled coverage of its events in the Bay Area after the paper posted a video of a protest at a San Francisco fundraiser for President Obama last week, Chronicle Editor Ward Bushee said.White House guidelines governing press coverage of such events are too restrictive, Bushee said, and the newspaper was within its rights to film the protest and post the video.
The White House press office would not speak on the record about the issue.
Chronicle senior political reporter Carla Marinucci was invited by the White House to cover the Obama fundraiser on April 21 on the condition that she send her written report to the White House to distribute to other reporters who did not attend. Such "pool reports" are routinely used for press coverage at White House events that are not open to the entire press corps.
About 200 donors paying $5,000 to $38,500 each attended the event at the St. Regis Hotel in the city, a day after Obama visited Facebook headquarters in Silicon Valley touting the proliferation of "new media" breaking the confines of traditional journalism.
At the St. Regis event, a group of protesters who paid collectively $76,000 to attend the fundraiser interrupted Obama with a song complaining about the administration's treatment of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the soldier who allegedly leaked U.S. classified documents to the WikiLeaks website.
As part of a "print-only pool," Marinucci was limited by White House guidelines to provide a print-only report, but Marinucci also took a video of the protest, which she posted in her written story on the online edition of The Chronicle at SFGate.com and on its politics blog after she sent her written pool report.
Marinucci said several other attendees, including protesters, also filmed the protest. She said she felt professionally obliged to use the same tools that private citizens were using to report on it.
Written guidelines of the White House Correspondents Association allow print reporters to "snap pictures or take videos" as long as they provide a print report to the pool. The rule does not explicitly state whether it applies when the pool contains only print journalists or if it applies only when television crews are also present. Officials at the group did not comment.
Print versus video
Bushee said reporters must be allowed to cover news wherever it occurs, using the tools they have.
"If something more serious had happened, would you still observe the rules?" Bushee asked. "We expect our reporters to use the reporting tools they have to cover the news, and Carla did."
The White House should re-examine its guidelines that segregate print and video, Bushee said, in an era when all news outlets use multimedia platforms. To do otherwise, he said, would ban journalists from reporting on events that non-journalists are free to cover.
The San Francisco event last week was "in a public place with hundreds of people," Bushee said. The White House policy regarding video, he said, "is objectionable and just is not in sync with how reporters are doing their jobs these days."
He also said the White House rules are "not in the spirit of what the Obama administration is trying to project" in its claims to be the most transparent administration ever.
Marinucci, whose Shaky Hand Productions video blogs with Chronicle reporter Joe Garofoli have broken new ground in political news coverage, said old rules segregating print, photography and television journalists are obsolete.
"Everyone in an audience has video capability," Marinucci said. "That's a reality. God forbid if the president was attacked, would you just let citizen journalists record the event? This is not 1987. There is no such thing as pure print anymore, and you're basically telling us we cannot record news when it happens and citizen journalists can."

Texas Has Been Struck By Wildfires, But Obama Has DENIED Their Requests For Federal Aid (Gov.Perry's request was on Sat. April 16th,12 days ago)
Gov. Rick Perry (left) and emergency management official Nim Kidd answer questions after the conference’s general session.

Perry: "There is a point in time where you say, 'Hey, what's going on here?" Gov. Perry had requested a federal declaration of emergency for Texas where wildfires rage across the state. He is yet to hear back from the Administration. This doesn't surprise me one bit, how many times did we watch Obama do the same type of thing to Gov. Bobby Jindal during the gulf oil crisis? There's no doubt in my mind this is deliberate.
Rick Perry’s trying to ‑‑ been trying to get federal help in Texas for, what, two weeks now, 14 days?
Governor says Obama leaving Texas in the dust
Texas Governor Rick Perry criticized the Obama administration on Thursday for not responding to a request for a disaster aid for the parched state, where wildfires have scorched nearly 2 million acres.
"You have to ask, 'Why are you taking care of Alabama and other states?' I know our letter didn't get lost in the mail," Perry, a Republican and frequent critic of the federal government, said after addressing a Texas emergency management conference.
President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency for Alabama, where storms -- including a tornado that ravaged Tuscaloosa on Wednesday -- killed nearly 200 people this week.
The White House said Obama will visit the state on Friday. "There is a point in time where you say, 'Hey, what's going on here?'" Perry said.
Perry had requested a federal declaration of emergency for Texas as the wildfires began to rage across the large state. The request has not been answered, although several federal agencies are supplying firefighters.
"They watch TV, they know what's going on here, they can recognize that there is going to be a request for assistance, a request for help," Perry said.
Two volunteer firefighters have died battling the Texas wildfires, which have destroyed more than 900 buildings.
A federal major disaster declaration could reimburse Texas and local governments 75 percent of the cost of their response. Local departments and the Texas Forest Service have spent more than $60 million since September 1 responding to wildfires, forest service spokeswoman Linda Moon said.
In the past, Perry has charged that the Obama administration is punishing Texas. The Republican governor has been an outspoken opponent of the federal health reform law, and the state is suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over a proposal to end Texas' independent air quality permitting program for factories and refineries.

Also Perry was totally snubbed when Obama got off the plane last month/
Obama is too busy with his campaign for his next term as president to be bothered. I sure hope people that voted for him wake up and see how he treats all Americans.

Tornadoes Devastate The South, Killing at Least 269 Last Count and OBAMA Finally Says Something, After Campaigning All Week,Oprah Show,and Golf
Tornadoes devastate South, killing at least 269
PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. – Massive tornadoes tore a town-flattening streak across the South, killing at least 269 people in six states and forcing rescuers to carry some survivors out on makeshift stretchers of splintered debris. Two of Alabama's major cities were among the places devastated by the deadliest twister outbreak in nearly 40 years.
.
Alabama’s state emergency management agency said it had confirmed 128 deaths, up from at least 61 earlier and it was rising as you can see in the total in the above link and article. in this post. ~ Wiild Thing
.
“We expect that toll, unfortunately, to rise,” Gov. Robert Bentley told ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Mississippi officials reported 32 dead in that state and Tennessee raised its report to six from one. Another 11 have been killed in Georgia and one in Virginia.
The fierce storms Wednesday spawned tornadoes and winds that wiped out homes and businesses, forced a nuclear power plant to use backup generators and prompted the evacuation of a National Weather Service office.

Wild Thing's comment........
Prayers for all! This is just heartbreaking. May God give them strength and comfort.
FOX News was reporting this tornado was on the ground for 220 mils. At 220 miles, that passes the old record longest track 219 miles in Mar 18-19, 1925.
So after days and days of campaigning, going on Orah, golf and basketball........the socialist marxist freak obama FINALLLY SPEAKS BUT ONLY AHEAD OF HIS ANNOUNCEMENTS AND CAMPAIGN SPEECH! Apparently, before this, not enough people had died and had their homes and businesses destroyed in the previous band of severe storms and tornadoes for him to make one.
American Red Cross said this morning that this is their greatest sheltering/feeding operation since Katrina.
I'm surprised he said anything at all. Still waiting on word from him, or an offer of assistance, for the Texas wildfires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is a despicable Marxist pig! And get this, instead of speaking about all of this during this last week, in his waiting till today he COMBINED HIS COMMENTS with his announcemnet about the changes in the CIA and National Security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course that was after he spent a few minutes bragging about how great he had been as presidernt........OMG he made a campaign speech!
God help us with this evil in power!!!!

The Not So Civil Obama After Showing Fake BC Runs To Oprah Show To Mock 62% Of Americans That Want His REAL BC
“We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We have more important things to do. I have more important things to do. “ said obama
Then he flew off to tape an Oprah show.
Obama mocked the birthers on Oprah saying, “I remember being born in Hawaii.”
62% of the American public question Obama’s birth place.
.
Oprah Winfrey interviewed President Obama and First Lady Michelle in Chicago on Wednesday a few hours after he released the "long form" of his birth certificate in an attempt to quash questions about his U.S. birth. Joked Obama to Winfrey, "I was there, so I knew-- that --I knew I had been born. I remembered it."
Excerpts from the Oprah interview:
OPRAH: And before you came today you had a press conference.
PRES. OBAMA: I did. OPRAH: By the time this airs, it will be all over the world that you outed the birth certificate. You let us see the birth certificate. (Laughter.) MRS. OBAMA: He was born here.OPRAH: Yes. And it's confirmed again that you are born -- PRES. OBAMA: Once again. OPRAH: -- once again in the United States. Why did -- why did you wait so long, though? PRES. OBAMA: You know, keep in mind what had happened. This came up about two -- OPRAH: Two and a half years ago. PRES. OBAMA: Two and a half years ago. And so we called up the folks in Hawaii and the Department of Health. OPRAH: When it first came up were you thinking, I hope I was born here. PRES. OBAMA: Can I just say? I was there, so I knew -- (laughter) -- that -- I knew I had been born. I remembered it. (Laughter.) OPRAH: Of course you did.
PRES. OBAMA: The bottom line is this, though. Two weeks ago a huge debate was initiated around where our budget needs to go. We've got some serious decisions to make about how do we bring our deficit down and our debt down but do it in a way that preserves what makes America great:
OPRAH: The birth certificate.
PRES. OBAMA: And so at that point I said to my team, look, even though this is not usually what the State of Hawaii does. Even though the Republican Governor of Hawaii, the Democratic Governors of Hawaii, all the various officials had confirmed that I was born here, let's ask them for a special dispensation where they will go ahead and provide us with the original to see if we can put this to rest. And my general point is this. We are living in a very serious time. And America has huge potential and opportunity to seize the 21st century. We're only gonna get there, though, if we have a serious conversation about the things that matter to people.
OPRAH: Yeah.
PRES. OBAMA: Jobs and gas prices and how do we bring down the deficit? And how do we deal with all the changes going on around the world? And we can't be distracted by sideshows and, as I said at my press conference, carnival barkers who are going around trying to get attention instead of actually solving the problems

Isn't he just wonderful as can be???? NOT! Hell No!

Wild Thing's comments and information added.
Obama did not “RELEASE” his birth certificate. His records are still sealed!!! He will NEVER “Release” his vital records to be examined. He will only show you what he wants you to see.
LMAO ....OMG look at this.
The only carnival-barker sideshow that's been going on for 3 years has been the Obama Snake Oil Show.
Take look and when you can see a funny thing too about the birth certificate is that if you look at the Local Registrar on line 21, the person's name is U.K. Le Lee. As in ukulele the instrument? Well, that there is proof he was born in Hawaii! Was the doctor's name Dr. Luau? Was the nurse's name Ms. Kahuna? I see it was certified by a Dr. Omaha? Maybe he was really born in Nebraska then? More questions!
From AboveTopSecret:
After much of the excitement for everyone regarding Barry's birth certificate that he spent over 5 million dollars in lawyer fees to hide from the prying eye of the public. I stumbled upon someones investigation into how the newly released birth cert is in fact fake, and you can even do this yourself if you have the software to see for yourself. You see they left things in PDF format which can be imported into Adobe Illustrator. This is where things got interesting, see for yourself. This in itself shows that the birth Certificate given to the public wasn't scanned, it was pieced together digitally. Sorry, but you've been had! If you don't understand how Clipping Masks work I suggest you Google it to find out.
.
From GodLikeProductions:
I've used Photoshop for years and can tell you that the supposed long-form birth certificate is not only fake, but it's a highly-amateurish fake.
I could write a five page essay pointing out the digital artifacts proving forgery on this form. Even more could be said about the multiple respects in which this forgery deviates from the actual 1961 long-form b.c.
This fake is so bad that about the only conclusion you can draw is that the elites want the public to know it's a fake to perpetuate the controversy.
And just to rub our noses in it--the "Signature of Local Registrar" reads "U K L Lee"...ukelele.

President Bush Honors Commitment to Wounded War Heroes
TERLINGUA--The heroes of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom are trained to never give up until the fighting is done. For the wounded, that fight continues long after they come back home.
As a sign of his commitment to these brave men and women, former President George W. Bush joined them on the Warrior 100 bike ride.
"So I just finished a ride with men and women, who served our country and lost a limb or were seriously injured and decided not to give up, recovered and rode across the desert," President Bush said.
14 U.S. servicemen and women may be been left physically broken, scarred and changed for life by their service in Iraq and Afghanistan. But, it was because of their grit, honor and fortitude that the former president joined them on the Warrior 100, a 100K mountain bike ride through Big Bend.
"I'm riding as hard as I could possibly ride and I look over my shoulder and there's a one legged guy, barely breathing. If you're having a problem out there, just think about some of these guys who had real problems and decided to do something about it," President Bush said.
These heroes were total strangers when they met on Monday. That doesn't mean they didn't already have many things in common.
"(That's) all I can say, really. It's an honor to be out here with him. I respect the man, greatly," Retired U.S. Army SFC Dylan Beard, said, while choking back tears.
According to Retired Army SSgt, Kevin Butler, "I think, what's important about today, we got to show we're not giving up and it could help inspire other people and fellow wounded guys that could be sitting in the hospital bed right now and they see this on the news and say, 'hey, that's going to be me once I get my prosthetic or get out of this hospital bed and get well.'"
"It doesn't matter what branch we are, if someone's fallen behind, they're going to pick them up and help them move on," Retired Army Spc. Jacob Learner, said.
For these war heroes, sharing a bike trail with the former Commander in Chief was exciting enough. But finding out the President brought a guest of his own, that was icing on the cake.
"What is most important is that we support, encourage and absolutely welcome home these brave men and women that served our country," former Tour de France Champ, Lance Armstrong, said.
The Warrior 100 highlights the contributions, made by organizations, that support the troops and their families, while they're deployed and once they come back.
These men and women represent groups like Ride 2 Recovery and The Wounded Warrior Project, among others. The W100 was the inaugural event of the Social Enterprise initiative of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. According to the man himself, it won't be the last.
"I'm going to announce something, next week, another sporting event, not mountain biking but another sport. I might as well tell you, golf," the former president joked.
If given the choice to do it all again or do something differently, what would their answer be, after giving their all on the battle field and even more on the dusty trail?
For Learner, the answer was simple, "If I knew I was going to deploy, step on a land mine and be in this predicament, I would do it all over again."

Obama spent millions and sat and watched Lt. Col. Terry Lakin get convicted in a military court, serve time in a military prison and will be shortly dishonorably discharged. Let’s never forget that.
My question for obama IF this one is for real , he better have a DAMN GOOD reason why he let it get this far.
Lakin deserves that (at the VERY least).
Just to see those stress fractures in Obama’s face as he stood at those mics without a teleprompter and smiled and joked but still looked scared and flustered and off-guard and like he was standing in front of a speeding locomotive.

Former Air America Host Arrested After Heckling Rep. Allen West at Town Hall
The Palm Beach Post has identified former Air America radio host Nicole Sandler as the woman who was arrested and led out of a town hall meeting in handcuffs after she heckled Rep. Allen West and got into a confrontation with the Republican congressman’s wife.
.
A far left heckler was arrested at Rep. Allen West‘s town hall Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale. Several other hecklers were later asked to leave. Of course, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) kept his cool . Love this man!
Immediately after Allen West took the stage at his Town Hall meeting on Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale, several hecklers who were planted in the crowd began to jeer and interrupt his remarks, forcing West to pause several times and then continue once the crowd calmed down. Police were ultimately forced to removed one of the hecklers from the event. When the hecklers refused to stop their harassment, West stated, “You’re not going to intimidate me.”
Minutes later, a woman sitting behind West’s wife , who had been acting in a disruptive and combative manner by yelling at the Congressman and even harrassing his wife, was asked to leave and was escorted out of the event by Fort Lauderdale Police. As this unidentified woman was being removed from the proceedings, she continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer, which resulted in the officer arresting the woman for trespassing.

White House rebukes Graham over Obama comments
White House Slams Popular Christian Leader Franklin Graham Over Easter Interview He Did On Easter Sunday
Popular Christian leader was asked about Obama’s birth certificate this past weekend. (Daily Mail)
The Obama White House slammed Rev. Franklin Graham over his interview on Easter. Rev. Graham answered a question on Obama’a birth certificate when asked during the pre-recorded Easter interview.
The AFP
The White House scolded evangelical preacher Franklin Graham for making “preposterous charges” on Easter Sunday, after he cited conspiracy theories over President Barack Obama’s birthplace.
Graham was asked in the interview broadcast on Sunday to weigh in on the issue of Obama’s birthplace, which has been whipped up by radical conservative groups and spawned the so-called “birther” movement.
“The president, I know, has some issues to deal with here. He can solve this whole birth certificate issue pretty quickly,” Graham said.
Asked about the charges on Monday, White House spokesman Jay Carney chose his words carefully.
“I think it’s unfortunate that a religious leader would choose Easter Sunday to make preposterous charges,” Carney said.

Wild Thing's comment........
When I heard Graham last Sunday morning, I wondered how long it would take for Obama to react to it.
My gut says obama is very ticked off about his BC being such a main topic on all the networks now. Even though the media is doing all they can to lie and make excuses, it is not sticking. Like the poll above states, less and less people now believe obama is legit. And for something that can be proven and he does not, instead he spends millions to fight it.

Kool-Aid Now Being Served On Your Dime
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
If you wanted to destroy America without brute force, how would you do it?
You would destroy it from inside out with help from ‘outsiders’.
You would promise to transform the nation into something undefined.
You would grow government into a more intrusive monster which specializes in wealth redistribution to weaken the self-sufficient and grow the government-dependent.
You would appoint others of your perverted ideology to take charge of important agencies, circumventing Congressional oversight and appropriate funds to those appointees to accomplish your goals.
You would ignore and/or misinterpret constitutional law to help undermine the values embodied in the U.S. Constitution and solidify that position by appointing justices who would help you accomplish those goals, including disregard for immigration law and border protection, there-by creating a dilution of natural-born American citizens with a new class of government dependents who are clueless regarding what it means to be an American but who would reward you with their votes.
You would dilute the Judeo-Christian population with other groups who show no tolerance for others in the name of political correctness. They would help you to sow the seeds of destruction of American culture and law.
You would spread our military over the globe at huge expense while weakening the defense of our national borders.
You would borrow from other nations until a financial calamity occurs which deals the final blow to the sovereignty of America.
Meet Barry Soetoro—a man who at great personal cost hides his identity and his background in sharp contrast to all prior presidents. What is he hiding and WHY? Meet the complicit American news media---organizations which unlike their British comrades look the other way when legitimate questions concerning Mr. Soetoro’s identity are raised. Why do they do this? Is it naiveté? Is it fear? Is it ideology? Meet Congress----a governing body which is being intimidated by the press should its members raise legitimate issues regarding the identity and qualifications of Barry Soetoro. Shame on them who fear the lamestreet media’s labels of ‘extremists’ and ‘radicals’ for those who ask valid questions and raise challenges to the legitimacy of Mr. Soetoro whose only proved qualifications are those of one who wishes to transform America into a nightmare.
Patriots have four options: do nothing and let America collapse at the hands of revolutionaries such as Mr. Soetoro and those who placed him where he is; to investigate, impeach and prosecute him and his appointees for high crimes and acts of sedition; replace him in 2012;or,as a final resort take our nation back through force. America is being destroyed---are you going to let that happen?

Obama Working on Executive Order That Critics Say Will Stifle Political Speech
Obama Working on Executive Order That Critics Say Will Stifle Political Speech
Washington
In what the White House calls a push for transparency, a pending executive order would require companies doing business with the federal government to disclose political contributions to independent groups, but would not place the same requirement on public employee unions or federal grant recipients that typically donate to Democrats.
Entitled the “Disclosure of Political Spending By Government Contractors,” the order would implement parts of the DISCLOSE Act, which failed to get through Congress last year. The legislation sought to restrict campaign speech after the landmark Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Commission U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the right of corporations and unions to donate to campaigns.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney confirmed Monday that work is underway on the draft order, and linked the move to President Obama’s stated commitment to transparency.
It's fully acknowledged that there is a process underway; a draft is just that," Carney told CNSNews.com. "It could change as it makes its way through the process. But what the president is committed to is transparency, and he certainly thinks that the American taxpayer should know where his or her money is going. So I -- this is part of the President’s commitment to transparency."
Government contractors are already required to disclose contributions to political candidates. This executive order would require the disclosure of any donations to independent groups, where conservative groups outspent liberal ones in the 2010 election.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the executive order would stifle free speech.
“Democracy is compromised when individuals and small businesses fear reprisal, or expect favor from the federal government as a result of their political associations,” McConnell said in a statement last week, after reports of the draft emerged.
“So recent press reports about an unprecedented draft Executive Order raise troubling concerns about an effort to silence or intimidate political adversaries’ speech through the government contracting system,” he said. “If true, the proposed effort would represent an outrageous and anti-democratic abuse of executive branch authority. No administration should use the federal contracting system for campaign purposes.”
The DISCLOSE Act was pushed by Sen. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.), and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). Announcing the bill at a Feb. 11, 2010 press conference, Schumer said that its provisions “will make them [corporations] think twice before spending unlimited sums to influence elections. The deterrent effect should not be underestimated.”
Hans A. von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, was skeptical of Carney’s assertion that the president was merely committed to transparency.
“If transparency is the true goal, why isn’t the proposed executive order covering any outside entity that gets federal money? It only applies to government contractors, not grant recipients like Planned Parenthood,” he told CNSNews.com. “Public employee unions are also exempt from this order.”
Von Spakovsky, who was the first to report the existence of the draft executive order, on Pajamas Media last week, argued that the move would politicize the federal procurement process.
He is also troubled by the use of an executive order in this instance.
“This threatens the representational system,” he said. “The president wants to implement through the regulatory process what failed in Congress.”
The draft executive order would require government contractors to disclose:
-- “All contributions or expenditures to or on behalf of federal candidates, parties or party committees made by the bidding entity, its directors or officers, or any affiliates or subsidiaries within its control.”
-- “Any contributions made to third party entities with the intention or reasonable expectation that parties would use those contributions to make independent expenditures or electioneering communications.”
Obama has long railed against the Citizens United ruling. During his 2010 State of the Union speech he launched a verbal offensive against the Supreme Court, prompting a visible response from Justice Samuel Alito, who along with his colleagues were seated just feet from the podium.
.
Wild Thing's comment.........
This is a threat to every company. Every single company because it will involve not only those companies that contract with the federal government-but it will reach out to all companies, because they WANT to secure by bidding the lucratice government contracts that support them, their familys and the people that work for them.
So ifi they want a government contract they better be affliated with DEMOCRATS by proving you are a democrat [donating big time].
Also-this is a direct threat to BOEING because the union IS TRYING TO FORCE BOEING to NOT MOVE part of its operations to CAROLINA.
This is sick!!
I think this is all a result of the friendship obama has with the Unions. Remember how the head Union guy met with obama and has been a visitor at the WH so often.
This is a way to break our system of bidding, to STIFLE free enterprise and the right to compete on the basis of quality product or support and cost containment.
Rush nailed it the other day.This regime is completely lawless.
Meanwhile we have our guy Issa getting stonewalled with document requests and subpoena’s.
Obama must be really worried about this next election. To even think of doing this kind of thing and executive order like this shows how far he will go wanting to control people to get donations as well.

Unlike YOU Obama Voters These College Kids Love America and Are Smart!
This is a new ad by the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) that challenges President Obama’s claim that his agenda is “winning the future.” It points out that thanks to Obama’s massive spending, the interest alone on the nation’s debt over the next decade will be “$5 Trillion.” Instead of “winning the future,” Obama is “losing the future.”
The ad is set to run in Iowa to urge college-age people to get involved in the political process there.

The Anti American MUSLIM Obama Refused to Release Easter Proclamation
.
This is from March 20th of this year. Obama sends an important message to those celebrating the holiday of Nowruz.
And last August Barack Obama released a Ramadan message for Muslims. He also released statements in 2010 on Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
Obama failed to release a statement or a proclamation recognizing the national observance of Easter Sunday, Christianity's most sacred holiday.
By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
The White House also failed to release a statement marking Good Friday. However, they did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president's weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.
And today, the president and first lady will host 30,000 people for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. The secular celebration of Easter includes readings, games, and a yoga garden. This year's theme, "Get Up and Go!" is part of the first lady’s anti-obesity campaign and will also display produce from the White House garden.
In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.
"All of us are striving to make a way in this world; to build a purposeful and fulfilling life in the fleeting time we have here," Obama said in his 2010 "Easter" message. "A dignified life. A healthy life. A life, true to its potential. And a life that serves other." "These are aspirations that stretch back through the ages – aspirations at the heart of Judaism, at the heart of Christianity, at the heart of all the world’s great religions," the president added.
When the White House released statements about Muslim holidays, no attempts were made to include Christianity or to mention a spirit of inclusivity. For example, in his 2010 statement on Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha, Obama made no references to Christianity or any other religion.
By contrast, former President Bush traditionally included Scripture passages in his Easter messages and made a point to explain what Easter is about. Like Obama, though, he did not release statements marking Good Friday. In 2007, President Bush said, “The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event of the Christian faith.” “On this powerful day, let us join together and give thanks to the Almighty for the glory of His grace,” he added.
In his 2008 Easter message, President Bush said: “The Resurrection of Jesus Christ reminds people around the world of the presence of a faithful God who offers a love more powerful than death. Easter commemorates our Savior's triumph over sin, and we take joy in spending this special time with family and friends and reflecting on the many blessings that fill our lives. During this season of renewal, let us come together and give thanks to the Almighty who made us in His image and redeemed us in His love.”
Wild Thing's comment........
He has taken America into Jihad... and beyond. He has more than shown himself to be on side with muslims. Heck! He shares their same mantra....death to America.
His associations with the Muslim Brotherhood..... Over 20 years of understudy to Wright and Farrakhan ties him to the people and philosophy, thus his endorsement of the coup... These are the same guys who are shooting at our troops.
“One of the prettiest sounds on earth” is the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.
Barack Hussein Obama as quoted by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New York Times - March 6, 2007
* The FIRST thing Obama did as a newly elected Illinois State Senator was to attempt to declare a Muslim holiday. Obama sponsored Bill SR0110 in the 90th General Assembly to declare November 1, 1997 to be Islamic Community Center Day. It did not pass.

IMF Bombshell: Age of America Nears End ~ Obama and Soros Must Be Dancing In The Streets
IMF bombshell: Age of America nears end
The International Monetary Fund predicted the end of American economic dominance in 5 years. The IMF reported that China will overtake the US economy in 2016.
The International Monetary Fund has just dropped a bombshell, and nobody noticed.
For the first time, the international organization has set a date for the moment when the “Age of America” will end and the U.S. economy will be overtaken by that of China.
And it’s a lot closer than you may think.
According to the latest IMF official forecasts, China’s economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016 — just five years from now.
Put that in your calendar.
It provides a painful context for the budget wrangling taking place in Washington, D.C., right now. It raises enormous questions about what the international security system is going to look like in just a handful of years. And it casts a deepening cloud over both the U.S. dollar and the giant Treasury market, which have been propped up for decades by their privileged status as the liabilities of the world’s hegemonic power.
According to the IMF forecast, whoever is elected U.S. president next year — Obama? Mitt Romney? Donald Trump? — will be the last to preside over the world’s largest economy.
Most people aren’t prepared for this. They aren’t even aware it’s that close. Listen to experts of various stripes and they will tell you this moment is decades away. The most bearish will put the figure in the mid-2020s…
The comparison that really matters
…The IMF in its analysis looks beyond exchange rates to the true, real terms picture of the economies using “purchasing power parities.” That compares what people earn and spend in real terms in their domestic economies.
Under PPP, the Chinese economy will expand from $11.2 trillion this year to $19 trillion in 2016. Meanwhile the U.S. economy will rise from $15.2 trillion to $18.8 trillion. That would take America’s share of the world output down to 17.7%, the lowest in modern times. China’s would reach 18%, and is rising.
Just 10 years ago, the U.S. economy was three times the size of China’s.
Naturally, all forecasts are fallible. Time and chance happen to them all. The actual date when China surpasses the U.S. might come even earlier than the IMF predicts, or somewhat later. If the great Chinese juggernaut blows a tire, as a growing number fear it might, it could even delay things by several years. But the outcome is scarcely in doubt.
U.S. spending spree won’t work
What the rise of China means for defense, and international affairs, has barely been touched on. The U.S. is now spending gigantic sums
The U.S. Treasury market continues to operate on the assumption that it will always remain the global benchmark of money. Business schools still teach students, for example, that the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bond is the “risk-free rate” on money. And so it has been for more than a century. But that’s all based on the Age of America.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Please be sure to thank a Democrat for this! Yes Republicans are guilty as well, BUT not even close as to how much blame needs to be put on democrats. It was the democrats that spent the social security money for what was it some 40 years.
The biggest push for spending started with Clinton, Bush only made it worse and Obama OMG he has sent us into a nightmare of spending and debrt and taxing us to death. Obamacare has already started as far as many insurance companies beginning to charge now for treatments that USED to be covered and the other costs of insurance.

AP Interviews Donald Trump ~ Trump Speaks Out About How Obama Has NOT Released His Student Records
H/T hot air pundit
Donald Trump just keeps hammering away at Barack Obama. He’s not letting up on the Birth Certificate, and now he’s opening another front to highlight Obama’s complete lack of transparency.
This is an Associated Press video report/interview with Trump in which he says he has been told that Obama was a “terrible student,” but was miraculously able to get into Ivy League Schools – Columbia and Harvard. Trump questions how a “terrible student” was able to get into those Ivy League Schools. “Let him show his records. We don’t know anything about this guy.”
Obama has never released his student records, his thesis, his medical records, etc., etc.
Obama has been very careful to conceal a great deal about himself, and his willing accomplices in the media have not exposed him the way any Republican candidate would have been exposed very early in a campaign.
Obama’s 2008 campaign did not release his college transcripts, and in his best-selling memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama indicated he hadn’t always been an academic star. Trump told the AP that Obama’s refusal to release his college grades were part of a pattern of concealing information about himself.
“I have friends who have smart sons with great marks, great boards, great everything and they can’t get into Harvard,” Trump said. “We don’t know a thing about this guy. There are a lot of questions that are unanswered about our president.”
Wild Thing's comment.....
I have been wanting to much for someone that would have a voice speak out about the things Trump has been bringing up. Sarah Palin was and is excellent at this and Allen West has done a lot too saying hhow obama is destroying our country. And now to have Trump hitting hard as well.
I am grateful to all of these on people for speaking out.

Supreme Court Rejects Request for Expedited Hearing on Obamacare ( Obama's socialized Medicine)
Supreme Court Rejects Virginia Request for Review of Health Care Law
The Supreme Court is in no rush to either consider challenges to ObamaCare or consolidate them, at least not at the moment. Yesterday the court passed on an opportunity to expedite the appeal process, turning down Virginia’s Ken Cuccinelli, despite his appeal for a fast-track review on constitutional grounds:
The Supreme Court rejected a call Monday from Virginia’s attorney general to depart from its usual practice and put review of the health care law on a fast track. Instead, judicial review of President Barack Obama’s signature legislation will continue in federal appeals courts.
The justices turned down a request by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a leading opponent of the law, to resolve questions about its constitutionality quickly. The Obama administration opposed Cuccinelli’s plea. Only rarely, in wartime or a constitutional crisis, does the court step into a legal fight before the issues are aired in appellate courts. Hearings already are scheduled in May and June in three appeals courts.
The case still could reach the high court in time for a decision by early summer 2012.
Wild Thing's comment.........
I heard Judge Napolitano on Fox say IF the SCOTUS ruled now before the law has been implemented that after it went into effect the ruling would be moot. Legally it is better to wait apparently even though I am right on the edge of flipping out for it to be thrown out right now asap.

AGAIN Obama Links America’s Greatness With Government Spending
Obama Links America’s Greatness With Government Spending -- Again
AGAIN Barack Obama said that federal government spending makes America great — a claim he has made before — while speaking to a Democratic National Committee (DNC) gathering in San Francisco.
“Let me tell you something,” Obama said to applause from the crowd at Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco on Apr. 20. “I will not reduce our deficit by sacrificing the things that have always made America great. The things that have made Americans prosper,”
“I won’t sacrifice our investments in education,” he said. “I will not sacrifice those. I won’t sacrifice our investments in science and basic research. I won’t sacrifice the safety of our highways or our airports. I won’t sacrifice our investment in clean energy at a time when our dependence on foreign oil is causing Americans so much pain at the pump. I will not sacrifice America’s future. That I will not do.”
House Republican leaders recently released a budget plan, which passed in the House, and is aimed at reducing the national debt and the federal deficit. President Obama released a framework for deficit reduction but not a detailed plan.

Obama's White House Easter Egg Roll For 30,000 People
White House Easter egg roll keeps getting bigger
WASHINGTON
He has a $14.3 trillion national debt, an 8.8% unemployment rate, two wars and a re-election campaign to worry about. Even so, President Obama is making time Monday to have 30,000 people over for eggs.
And not just any people: More people than on any other day of the year. People from every state. Famous people like singer Colbie Caillat and TV star Kelly Ripa, the Harlem Globetrotters and Sesame Street’s Elmo.
The White House Easter Egg Roll has been a fixture since 1878. Its evolution into a star-studded, 11-hour eggs-travaganza featuring live music, dancing, sports and even yoga has been building over the past 30 years.
This year’s event will be the longest yet — starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 6:20 p.m. in order to accommodate five groups of 6,000 guests for two hours apiece. Nothing that happens at the White House the rest of the year — not even state visits by foreign leaders — are as crowded.

Illegal Alien Stupidity
Look into the face of ignorance.
Look into the eyes of the future of America.
Is this what all of our soldiers died for?
Obama's call for AMNESTY and earlier Administrations "Open Borders" policy have given us killers like this.
Look closely at the "artwork" emblazoned on his hairless chest.
Anthony Garcia,a "Proud Mexican" tattooed a MURDER SCENE on his own chest in pride over KILLING an American.
Yes, thats right- this genius inked his own confession on his chest.
Thank you Obama.
Thank You McCain.
The Los Angeles Times Reports:
"..Inked on the pudgy chest of a young Pico Rivera gangster who had been picked up and released on a minor offense was the scene of a 2004 liquor store slaying that had stumped Lloyd for more than four years.
Each key detail was right there: the Christmas lights that lined the roof of the liquor store where 23-year-old John Juarez was gunned down, the direction his body fell, the bowed street lamp across the way and the street sign — all under the chilling banner of RIVERA KILLS, a reference to the gang Rivera-13.
As if to seal the deal, below the collarbone of the gang member known by the alias "Chopper" was a miniature helicopter raining down bullets on the scene.
Lloyd's discovery of the tattoo in 2008 launched a bizarre investigation that soon led to Anthony Garcia's arrest for the shooting. Then sheriff's detectives, posing as gang members, began talking to Garcia, 25, in his holding cell. They got a confession that this week led to a first-degree murder conviction in a killing investigators had once all but given up hope of solving.
For Lloyd, the image on the chest of the delicate, doe-eyed gang member brought back a rush of memories. The snapshot was taken inside the sheriff's Pico Rivera station after Garcia was arrested in a routine traffic stop and booked on suspicion of driving with a suspended license.
Before they are released, suspected gang members typically are asked to remove their shirts and have their tattoos photographed by graffiti team deputies. Taggers often mark their own bodies with the same signatures they spray on buses and storefronts — and eyewitnesses to crimes sometimes help close cases by recalling distinctive tattoos.
Homicide Lt. Dave Dolson said gang members frequently get symbolic tattoos to bolster their street cred: three dots on the hand to signify "mi vida loca" ("my crazy life"), sketches of prisons where they've done time, gang insignia prominently stenciled on their heads and torsos.
But a tattoo laying out a detailed picture of a crime scene is something far outside the norm. "I haven't seen it before, and I haven't heard of anything like it either," Dolson said.
Garcia's tattoo shows a man with the body of a peanut being hit by bullets and falling back toward the liquor store. In gang slang, the word "peanut" is used to derisively describe a rival gang member.
Lloyd had been at the scene of the Pico Rivera killing as a station sergeant. After he recognized it in the tattoo, the 30-year veteran called up the cold case file. He pored over the crime scene photographs alongside the photos of Garcia's chest. He also drove to the site of the slaying.
"I worked Pico Rivera a lot of years, so I'm pretty familiar with that area," he said. "It was incredible."
With the help of major crimes investigators, deputies found Garcia living with relatives in La Habra. They arrested him and began setting up a ruse to secure his conviction.
A detective posing as a Los Angeles gang member who'd been arrested on attempted murder charges was placed in Garcia's Norwalk station jail cell. He soon got Garcia talking, sheriff's investigators said. Garcia was proud, and he bragged about the shooting. He didn't know the conversation was being recorded and that it would soon be played for a jury.
"Think about it. He tattooed his confession on his chest. You have a degree of fate with this," Parker said. "The detective who spotted it had been a Pico sergeant who went on to become a homicide sergeant. I never worked Pico station. I never would have recognized that Pico liquor store."
Investigators don't believe Garcia's elaborate tattoo was a rash decision. Photos from several bookings over the years show the mural on his chest evolving as he added details to the tattooed murder scene — until one day Lloyd saw them as a whole and something clicked."
This KILLER would be able to take taxpayer money if the DREAM Act was passed.
He is allowed to live in our country and get FREE healthcare.
Free daycare for his 7 children by 4 different illegal alien mothers.
His kids are "Anchor Babies" allowing benefits,welfare and free college tuition.
He has never paid taxes nor become literate in English.
He drove a car with PIOLIN bumper stickers,a Mexican Flag and a cartoon of Calvin urinating on "La Migra" AKA US Border Patrol.
Is this what we need?
We cannot afford this insanity

Well done information about illegals and how not only this person but so many are just like him.
I will never understand why it is ok to break our laws that you and I, our parents and grandparents recognize.
The left including rino's want us to think the Constitution can be chopped up and only go by parts of it and not all of what it says as in obama's birth certificate. The left and rino's want us to believe it is OK NOT to acknowledge and obey the laws we have regarding immigration and how it is not necessary if a person is coming in across our borders then it is OK if they do not come in according to those laws.
Where are these law breakers in our government and those encouraging law breaking when the rapes, drunk drivers killing Americans, robbery, etc.??????? The crimes are on their hands too since they are pushing for amnesty.

Mississippi Town Destroys Westboro Baptist Plans
Mississippi Town Destroys Westboro Baptist Plans
by Joni
The Westboro Baptist Church once again makes the headlines. This time however, the good news is that they were foiled in their attempts to disrupt another serviceman’s funeral. Mississippi gives the Westboro the kind of welcome that we would all like to give.
Since we have reported on the Westboro Baptist Church a few times here, it is fitting that we update you on the latest.
Last Saturday, USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers was laid to rest in Brandon, Mississippi. He was killed in action in Afghanistan on April 7th. Many of the town’s residents paid homage along the route of the fallen hero as his body was transported home.
Most notably absent were the Westboro protestors who planned a large demonstration at Sgt. Rogers’ funeral. According to an Ole Miss message board, a tidbit of info.....
“A couple of days before, one of them (Westboro protestors) ran his mouth at a Brandon gas station and got his arse waxed. Police were called and the beaten man could not give much of a description of who beat him. When they canvassed the station and spoke to the large crowd that had gathered around, no one seemed to remember anything about what had happened.
Rankin County handled this thing perfectly. There were many things that were put into place that most will never know about and at great expense to the county.
Most of the morons never made it out of their hotel parking lot. It seems that certain Rankin county pickup trucks were parked directly behind any car that had Kansas plates in the hotel parking lot and the drivers mysteriously disappeared until after the funeral was over. Police were called but their wrecker service was running behind and it was going to be a few hours before they could tow the trucks so the Kansas plated cars could get out.
A few made it to the funeral but were ushered away to be questioned about a crime they might have possibly been involved in. Turns out, after a few hours of questioning, that they were not involved and they were allowed to go on about their business.”
It might be legal for the protestors to be there, but it isn’t right. Thankfully, the citizens of Brandon agreed and arranged for these slight incidents to keep the unwanted pests away. The Westboro mob never made it to the funeral and Sgt. Rogers was laid to rest without incident.
Fred Phelps, who is the leader of Westboro mob, is a disbarred lawyer and Democrat activist. Other members of his family hold law degrees. They use our court system often and have sued and won countless times all with financial gain to themselves, helping to fund their sickening activities. Undoubtedly, Phelps will plan a lawsuit against someone in Mississippi because his grand plans were thwarted. Mississippi folks says let him. There isn’t a jury in the whole state that will see things his way.
While I understand the Supreme Court ruling allowing Phelps and his gang to demonstrate, I sure appreciate the fact that citizens take it upon themselves to do the right thing. If it takes the community to gather around the bereaved to keep these thugs away, then so be it. I hope every town learns from the example set by people of Brandon, Mississippi.
Update to this story:
Due to all of the comments regarding Phelps being called a Democrat activist, I have added this update.
Although other Democrats may not agree with Phelps, he has been very politically active in the Democrat party, starting in the ‘80’s. He has run for office on the Democratic ticket many times as a mayor, governor, and as a senator; garnering a percentage of Kansas voters. Plus, it is a matter of public record that Phelps has been closely associated with Al Gore for years. Fred Phelps Jr. was Gore’s delegate in the Democratic convention and the family hosted the Gore fundraiser in Topeka in 1988 while claiming to have ‘run’ the Gore campaign in Kansas that year.
So while Democrats may want to distance themselves from what Phelps is doing and rightly so, but as a 6 time Democratic candidate, Phelps is clearly a Democrat activist. Admittedly, Phelps currently seems to be serving his own interests more than those of the Democratic Party.

Obama: Constitutionally Qualified? Don’t Know; Open and Transparent? Not! by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Obama: Constitutionally Qualified? Don’t Know; Open and Transparent? Not!
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Before the General Election of 2008 a number of writers including me questioned Obama’s eligibility for the Presidency. My questions were based on two inextricably related factors:
• First, is Obama Constitutionally a qualified Natural Born citizen as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution? Many inquiring minds are not satisfied by the State of Hawaii’s issuance of a Certificate of Live Birth because of the vagaries of Hawaii law that allowed birth registration by anyone with a couple of “witnesses” at the time of Obama’s birth, ostensibly there.
• Second, is Obama’s repeated campaign promise to be the most transparent Administration in history. It is irrational that he would at the very basic level abrogate that solemn campaign pledge; that is unless he doesn’t consider himself to be a part of his own Administration.
Was Obama born in Hawaii? Dr. Chiyome Fukino former head of Hawaii’s Department of Health released the following statement while still in office in 2008:
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”
In 2009 she released a further clarification which stated:
“I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawai‛i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai‘i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai‘i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.”
Could Dr. Fukino be lying? One cannot tell. The only way to find out would be by Obama fulfilling his pledge of transparency and openness, by court action or forced by overwhelming public opinion.
Some point to the fact that an announcement was made in Hawaii papers within days of his birth and others to the Hawaii Certificate of Live birth as proof, neither of which satisfy inquiring minds. There are too many other issues which taken alone could be the subject of important investigations, and most of which raise additional questions rather than present believable answers. Then there are the “talking heads” that out of sheer Obama worship, or some misguided notion that to learn the facts would be detrimental to the nation, sweep aside any vestige of curiosity or responsibility to learn the actual truth not some preconceived version thereof. Therefore, they marginalize anyone who has the audacity to question the matter. Some may be satisfied by media buffoons who assert: “we’ve investigated, and he was born in Hawaii” without actually establishing those facts. As far as one knows there isn’t a court in the U.S. that accepts “hearsay” as conclusive evidence; and that is what Mr. Bill O’Reilly and others who lick Obama’s boots for ratings do without flinching. Then there’s the “Intimidation” Factor (pun intended) where O’Reilly either out-screams or verbally abuses those who raise the question or, he cites his years as number one cable news program, both in an effort to intimidate and/or silence legitimate unsatisfactorily answered questions; once again for ratings not serious investigation.
An April 23rd, AP article by Mark Niesse titled, “In Hawaii, accessing some Obama birth info is easy” Niesse states that in the State’s Vital Records office there is a computer generated tabulation of data that shows Obama’s birth on page 1218, highlighted in yellow. The evident conclusion is that is wouldn’t be there if it weren’t backed up by factual data.
For many the issue is not whether or not Obama was born in Hawaii, which seems to be obscurely, but circumstantially settled, the more important and central issue is his inarguable deception and betrayal of his pledge to be “open and transparent.” If he cannot, or refuses to do that at the personal level, which he allegedly defends at great expense, his claim of transparency cannot be trusted at any level. Obama’s lack of personal transparency gives life, and should, to the unsettled issue of Constitutional eligibility, that concerns a growing number of Americans. In stark contrast one recalls the media grilling that G.W. Bush endured about release of his information, upon which he released most everything.
There is no rational reason for Obama to be so tightfisted with his personal information unless he has something to hide, and that he believes the American electorate would find repugnant, repulsive and/or damaging. On the other hand it may be a ploy to keep his committed band of lemmings stirred up while distracting Americans away from damage that he is intentionally inflicting on the Nation.
For example, in a Washington Examiner 20 April 2011 article, titled “Obama: Mistakes? Can’t think of Any” writer Byron York analyzes Obama’s “dancing skills around the subject” concluding that he is no different than any other politician except if there have been any mistakes it would be that he (Obama) had not driven his agenda as deep and as fast as it should have been driven. That folks is an open statement that he has damaged the country intentionally!
Having done considerable research on the eligibility matter one finds that Courts have uniformly rejected cases brought before them regarding Obama’s eligibility on the basis of a lack of “standing;” on the other hand is the possibility of widespread, wholesale corruption of the Courts and that is both alarming and warrants investigation. Out-of-hand rejection by the Courts compels one to wonder why any bona fide U.S. Citizen does not have standing to question the ostensible President’s basic qualification.
The answer is succinctly put: “To have standing, a person must be sufficiently affected by the matter at hand, and there must be a case or controversy that can be resolved by legal action.” Evidently courts do not accord American citizens “standing” in political issues, especially this one.
However, in an instance where a candidate acceded to office though official misrepresentation, artifice or fraud it is, or should be obvious on its face to even the most naive that citizens have been harmed incident to the perpetration of such official misrepresentation, artifice and/or fraud.
A legislative case in point is the “bum’s rush” by Democrats of “Obamacare” signed into law by a President who may or may not be Constitutionally qualified. The harmful result, if nothing else is that no any law signed by Obama is Constitutional and enforceable. That same principle would apply to Executive Orders he has signed.
Those questions, left unanswered by establishing eligibility, harm all American citizens, even the ones who support him. The only way to make a final determination would be for it to be adjudicated in a Court of Law, taking it to the streets or unless Obama in a blinding moment of enlightenment and accompanying compelling need for integrity, makes the issue go away.
Semper Fidelis

Bent On Destroying Our Country Obama: No 'silver bullet' to bring down gas prices~ Hello Soros Boy Obama What is Needed Is To Allow OUR Oil Companies To DRILL You Freak!
Obama laid out his own plan for controlling prices, focusing on ending price gouging but calling for an end to the $4 billion in federal subsidies for oil and gas firms.
"You see people trying to grab headlines or score a few points," Obama said in his weekly address. "The truth is, there’s no silver bullet that can bring down gas prices right away."
He said there are some steps the U.S. can take to improve the situation such as ramping up domestic oil production and ending subsidies for oil and gas firms.
“That’s $4 billion of your money going to these companies when they’re making record profits and you’re paying near record prices at the pump. It has to stop,” Obama said.
"Instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy sources, we need to invest in tomorrow’s," he added, voicing his opposition to a proposal before Congress that would cut the government's clean energy investments by 70 percent.

Wild Thing's comment........
Why thanks, Illegal Marxist Community Organizer POS Punk.
Umm...”drill, baby, drill” anyone? Beuller...? Beuller...?
Bush brought gas prices down with one speech. All the way down to $1.67 a gal from over $4, if I remember correctly.
“”Instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy sources, we need to invest in tomorrow’s,” he added”
That's code for “there ain't gonna be no new drilling on my watch baby!” The truth is, if the administration would open back up the Gulf, Amwar, grant new leases in the mountain west, allow new drilling for natural gas, and put someone in charge of the EPA who is not a communist, we would see gas prices drop immediately. A portion of gas price is psychological and how the health of the market is perceived. Secondly, the actions I listed would have tangible results starting within a year, not ten years as the lib's state, and would thereby begin bringing actual product on-line and delivered to the end user.

As Libyan Rebel's Beheading a Libyan Soldier Is Nnot Bad Enough , McCain Wants To Increase Aid To These Rebels Even With Their al Qaeda Conncection
The rebels cart dead soldiers through Misrata
....as Qaddafi commits atrocities, the rebels are engaged in some of the same violence.
Libya rebels will receive $25 million from U.S.
Dismissing concerns over possible links between Libyan rebels and , the Obama administration has notified Congress it is providing $25 million in nonlethal aid to the rebels’ effort to drive Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s regime from power.
Questions have emerged in recent weeks about the connection between some of the Libyan opposition and the al Qaeda terrorist group.
McCain: Increase Military Support To Libyan Rebels
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP)
U.S. Sen. John McCain called for increased military aid Friday for Libya's rebels, including weapons, training and close air support for the opposition's battle to oust Moammar Gadhafi.
A day after the U.S. began flying armed drones to bolster NATO firepower and try to break a battlefield stalemate with Gadhafi's forces, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee gave a full-throated endorsement of the rebels.
The United States and other nations should recognize the rebels' political leadership as the "legitimate voice of the Libyan people," McCain said.
He called the rebels "patriots" with no links to al-Qaida, in contrast to what some critics have suggested, and he said they should receive Gadhafi assets frozen by other countries.
"They are my heroes,” McCain said of the rebels as he walked out of a local hotel in Benghazi. He was traveling in an armored Mercedes jeep and had a security detail. A few Libyans waved American flags as his vehicle drove past.
US secretary of state Hillary Clinton announced yesterday that the US would provide $25m of non-lethal items such as vehicles, radios and medicines to opposition forces.
Wild Thing's comment........
John McCain is making a jackass out of himself. He doesn’t get the “culture”. “The rebels are patriots”!, he asserts. Give me a break. sheesh. We have heard so much that many of the rebels are al-qaeda.
IMO there are no good guys in this. I wish we would stay ouit of this in Lybia.
The Jawa Report posted video of our new allies beheading a Libyan soldier. He has a video in which they chant Allahu Ackbar as they saw off a Libyan regime soldiers' head. And these are the people McCain wants us to call friend.

Environmentalist Wackos Stupid Earth Day Ends Obama's 53,300 Gallon Trip
Two Weeks ago today, Obama was questioned by a citizen concerned about rising gas prices. Obama arrogantly told him to trade in his gas guzzling SUV
Obama declared today's 41st annual Earth Day proof of America's ecological and conservation spirit—then completed a three-day campaign-style trip logging 10,666 miles on Air Force One, eating up some 53,300 gallons at a cost of about $180,000. And that doesn't include the fuel consumption of his helicopter, limo, or the 29 other vehicles that travel with that car.
In a two-page statement issued before leaving Los Angeles, his last stop in a three city-fund-raising tour that also included important policy pronouncements like his plan to probe what's behind high gas prices,
Obama proclaimed: "For over 40 years, our nation has come together on Earth Day to appreciate and raise awareness about our environment, natural heritage, and the resources upon which generations of Americans have depended. Healthy land and clean water and air are essential to the health of our communities and wildlife. Earth Day is an opportunity to renew America's commitment to preserving and protecting the state of our environment through community service and responsible stewardship."
His proclamation added, "Our nation has a proud conservation tradition, which includes countless individuals who have worked to safeguard our natural legacy and ensure our children can benefit from these resources. Looking to the future of our planet, American leadership will continue to be pivotal as we confront the environmental challenges that threaten the health of both our country and the globe."
Wild Thing's comment......
I wish they would make a law that a president cannot use our tax dollars to pay for their plane to campaign for their next election. It is not right.
Earth day is something I find offensive to say the least.

9/11 Responders To Be Warned They Will Be Screened By FBI's Terrorism Watch List
9/11 Responders To Be Warned They Will Be Screened By FBI's Terrorism Watch List
WASHINGTON
A provision in the new 9/11 health bill may be adding insult to injury for people who fell sick after their service in the aftermath of the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, The Huffington Post has learned.
The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list, according to a letter obtained by HuffPost.
Any of the responders who are not compared to the database of suspected terrorists would be barred from getting treatment for the numerous, worsening ailments that the James Zadroga 9/11 Health And Compensation Law was passed to address.
It’s a requirement that was tacked onto the law during the bitter debates over it last year.
The letter from Dr. John Howard, director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, informs medical providers and administrators that they should begin letting patients know before the new program kicks in this July.
“This is absurd,” said Glen Kline, a former NYPD emergency services officer. “It’s silly. It’s stupid. It’s asinine.”
“It’s comical at best, and I think it’s an insult to everyone who worked on The Pile and is sick and suffering from 9/11,” said John Feal, a former construction worker who lost half a foot at Ground Zero and runs the advocacy group Fealgood Foundation.
The provision was added in an amendment by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) during the heated debate over the bill in the House Energy and Commerce Committee last May.
Sept. 11 responders in the committee room at the time mostly shook their heads at the move, which Democrats accepted on a voice vote after battling to bar other amendments on abortion and immigration that might have killed the bill.
But suddenly the point is no longer just a strategic concession to get a law passed.
As doctors and administrators begin acting on the federal instructions, participants in the 9/11 treatment and monitoring programs will soon be told that their names, places of birth, addresses, government ID numbers and other personal data will be provided to the FBI to ensure they are not terrorists.
Howard's instructions include a sample letter to responders designed to minimize alarm.
“Although neither we nor [the Centers for Disease Control]/NIOSH anticipate the name of any individual in the current Programs will be on the list, CDC/NIOSH is expressly required by law to implement this particular requirement of the Act,” it says.
“Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to working with you and ensuring that you continue to receive uninterrupted services under the new WTC Health Program,” it concludes.
Feal, who counts hundreds of first responders in his foundation's membership, predicted the letters would not go over well.
“When cops and firefighters get this at home, they’re going to hit the roof,” he said.
Kline, who sits on the Fealgood Foundation’s board, said he personally wasn’t offended, but couldn’t think of a good reason for cops and firefighters to be screened by the FBI in order to keep getting treatment.
“I mean, who are we even talking about -- the undocumented workers who cleaned the office buildings?” wondered Kline Thursday. “We know who all the cops, firefighters and construction workers were. They’re all documented.
“Is the idea that a terrorist stayed to help clean up? And then stayed all these years to try and get benefits?” he asked. “In all the things I’ve seen out of Washington, this probably takes the cake.”
Some are more understanding.
“Do we want terrorists getting money? No,” said Anthony Flammia, a former NYPD Highway Patrol officer and Sept. 11 responder. “How do you know if there were any terrorists there? Were they there as observers, watching? Probably.”
But he noted that his perspective likely would not be shared, especially if people whose names are similar to actual terror suspects get flagged, as happens with air travelers.
“I’ve got nothing to hide, so it’s no big deal for me, but there’s got to be safeguards in place to protect the people who are innocent,” Flammia said. “It’s going to be controversial,” he added. “It’s probably going to create an uproar, but I think it will dissipate. I hope they're ready to answer people's questions.”
Congressman Stearns said in a statement that his intent was to answer exactly the questions raised by Flammia.
“This amendment was adopted in the full Energy and Commerce Committee without opposition and it merely requires that the names of those receiving health benefits be cross-checked with the terrorist watch list to ensure that no terrorists get these benefits,” Stearns said.
“These benefits are not just for our first responders; nearly anyone who was in the vicinity or worked on a cleanup crew afterward is eligible,” he noted.
The prohibition is included in two parts of the bill. One specifically covers responders, while the other deals with all survivors, including office workers, bystanders and residents.
Feal acknowledged that the terrorist screening has to be done because it is the law, and that the letters have to go out.
But he holds Stearns responsible, as well as several other Republicans who were hostile to the 9/11 bill, and tried to tack all manner of amendments onto it.
“I think Congressman Stearns is stabbing at pettiness. He’s a buffoon,” Feal said. “We get sicker and die, and they’re going to disseminate a letter wondering whether we’re terrorists or not. ... I think everybody needs to start showing a little more compassion.”

Obama Officials Tried to Convince S&P Not to Issue Credit Warning ~ High Crimes and Misdemeanors From Obama
S&P ignored the pressure from the Obama White House and issued the warning anyway.
Obama Officials Tried to Convince Standard & Poor's Not to Issue Credit Warning
Even though the White House has publicly downplayed the credit warning issued Monday from a leading agency, Obama administration officials were privately trying in recent weeks to convince Standard & Poor's not to lower its outlook for U.S. debt from "stable" to "negative," Fox News has confirmed.
But after a series of meetings between the Treasury Department and S&P, the ratings agency ignored the pressure and told administration officials late Friday that the U.S. government was at risk of losing its sterling credit rating, a senior administration official told Fox News.
The Washington Post first reported on the private meetings in which Treasury officials argued to S&P analysts that a ratings change was unnecessary because the nation's $14.3 trillion debt was under control and the administration had a feasible plan in the offing. Treasury officials also contended to S&P analysts that they were overlooking the ability of U.S. lawmakers to reach a compromise to tame deficits.
But the argument failed. The agency based its assessment on the sentiment that a budget agreement addressing the country's long-term deficit and debt problem might not be reached until after the 2012 election.
The White House has been on the defensive ever since. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, in an interview with Fox Business Network Tuesday morning, said there is no risk the country will lose its AAA credit rating

The Impact OBAMA'S Drilling Moratorium One Year After The Gulf Oil Spill ~ Obama Energy Policy Endangers Economy
"The equipment that used to be earning revenue for us is now sitting in my yard"..."We just want to go back to work"
Heritage Foundation
Heritage Foundation recently returned to the Gulf Coast to hear from business owners.
One year ago today, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico cost the lives of 11 men and threatened untold damage to the ecosystem. It was an unprecedented disaster, and the tragic loss of life it entailed made it all the more imperative that such an accident never repeat itself.
In the immediate aftermath of the catastrophe, the disaster response proved heroic: The crew of a Tidewater supply vessel rescued the 115 survivors of the explosion in little more than an hour.
And as The Wall Street Journal reports today, the effects of the Obama Administration’s response to the spill are more apparent now than ever, with offshore oil production down 13 percent and crude oil prices up 33 percent.
Following the disaster, the White House’s response seemed to become little more than a thin cover for the enactment of an economically crippling energy agenda. In May, President Obama issued a six-month moratorium on all deepwater drilling. In June, a federal judge struck it down, calling it “arbitrary and capricious,” not justified by the Gulf’s safety record. A few weeks later, in defiance of the judge, the Administration reissued the moratorium. The judge held the Administration in contempt.
Heritage Foundation produced a video featuring Leslie Bertucci, owner of R and D Enterprises. She welcomed us to her warehouse with a weary smile, handed us hard hats and cheerfully guided us through her equipment yard, even as she explained the difficulties she’s endured since the spill — most especially as a result of the offshore drilling moratorium and the subsequent slowdown in deepwater permits.
Bertucci is a hard-working mother of six, who, with her husband, built her business from its start in a spare bedroom of her home to the industrial campus it is today. She says the drilling moratorium has caused her company’s revenue stream to all but dry up. R and D Enterprises supplies equipment to transport chemicals to and from deepwater oil rigs. When those rigs aren’t allowed to drill, R and D’s equipment sits idle in Bertucci’s once-empty-but-now-full equipment yard

We need to keep reminding people that this all has to be laid at the feet of obama. He is to blame for the loss of jobs, and rise in gas prices.
And this happened yesterday....see video below. I saw it on TV and it made me furious the way obama tells the audience to think more in terms of windmillls and solar for cars instead of drilling for oil, gas . etc. Damn him!!!!!!

Obama Skips Tornado Destruction, Heads West to Raise Money
Obama is opting not to visit the tornado-ravaged areas of the South, choosing instead to embark today on a three day tour out West where he will try to boost his political standing by talking up his approach to the deficit and raise millions for himself and fellow Democrats.
The tornadoes, part of a storm that rampaged though six states Saturday, resulted in one of the worst disasters of any kind in the United States since the Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Scores were left injured or homeless while 45 people were killed – about four times as many as died in the Gulf oil rig explosion and the subsequent oil spill last year. In North Carolina alone, there were nearly two-dozen storm-related deaths Saturday, with 130 homes destroyed and an estimated 700 more damaged.
Not only is Obama staying away from the region, he has said almost nothing publicly about the tragedy beyond an interview with a North Carolina TV station and a very brief mention at a White House prayer breakfast. The president has failed to make the kind of national, attention-getting public statement presidents offer during crises to comfort victims by expressing the condolences of the nation and to seek charitable aid.
Sunday, he went golfing. On Monday, he did sign a disaster declaration for North Carolina, which will free up federal assistance to the state.
Vice President Biden has also failed to show up. He’s cooling his heels today at home in Wilmington, Delaware. The disaster did not even merit a visit from Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar who – without any apparent irony – was in Boston Tuesday announcing a new wind energy project.
Meanwhile, the South is bracing for more, as forecasters say severe storms and tornadoes could hit the region again today.
Obama’s failure to publicly attend to the fallout from the tornadoes comes on the one-year anniversary of the rig explosion that caused the Gulf oil spill. Obama was roundly criticized then for failing to respond sufficiently to the crisis.
The president’s silence and absence during the current crisis is particularly odd given his political stakes in North Carolina, which barely went for Obama over McCain in 2008. Obama is so desperate to hold the state that he’s chosen to hold the 2012 Democratic convention there, in Charlotte.

Drudge Report Headlines Says “Utterly Devastating” Book on Obama Birth Certificate To Be Out May 17
The Drudge Report is headlining exclusive information about a new book due out May 17 that delves into the Obama Birth Certificate controversy. The book – written by Dr. Jerome Corsi – is entitled, Where’s the Birth Certificate?: The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President.
The Drudge Report writes that a “source close to the publisher” has said, “It’s utterly devastating.”
The Amazon.com description of the book reads as follows:
Over the course of more than three years of research, Jerome Corsi assembles the evidence that Barack Obama is constitutionally ineligible for the office of the presidency. As a New York Times bestselling author, Harvard graduate, and investigative journalist, Corsi exposes in detail key issues with Obama’s eligibility, including the fact the President has spent millions of dollars in legal fees to avoid providing the American people with something as simple as a long-form birth certificate. The eligibility issue has major ramifications for every American, and through Corsi’s in-depth research, a clear, concise, and compelling case is made for a return to Founding Father principles and transparent, constitutional government, starting from the top down.
Before people totally dismiss Corsi and this book, they might want to remember that his book (along with John O’Neil) on John Kerry and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "Unfit for Command", had a real impact on Kerry losing the 2004 Presidential Election.

I ordered one and even though it is not out yet it has already hit #6 at Amazon. I hope it goes to the very top #1 and out sells Obama's books.
This is perfect timing for this book, with obama and his campaign and then this book coming out.

Iran To Ban Pet Dogs, Un-Islamic Under Sharia ~ Man’s best friend, mortal enemy to Muslims

Iran to ban pet dogs, un-Islamic under sharia
The Latest Enemies of Iran: Dogs and Their Owners
For much of the past decade, the Iranian government has tolerated what it considers a particularly depraved and un-Islamic vice: the keeping of pet dogs.
During periodic crackdowns, police have confiscated dogs from their owners right off the street; and state media has lectured Iranians on the diseases spread by canines. The cleric Gholamreza Hassani, from the city of Urmia, has been satirized for his sermons railing against “short-legged” and “holdable” dogs. But as with the policing of many other practices (like imbibing alcoholic drinks) that are deemed impure by the mullahs but perfectly fine to many Iranians, the state has eventually relaxed and let dog lovers be.
Those days of tacit acceptance may soon be over, however. Lawmakers in Tehran have recently proposed a bill in parliament that would criminalize dog ownership, formally enshrining its punishment within the country’s Islamic penal code. The bill warns that that in addition to posing public health hazards, the popularity of dog ownership “also poses a cultural problem, a blind imitation of the vulgar culture of the West.” The proposed legislation for the first time outlines specific punishments for “the walking and keeping” of “impure and dangerous animals,” a definition that could feasibly include cats but for the time being seems targeted at dogs.
The law would see the offending animal confiscated, the leveling of a $100-to-$500 fine on the owner, but leaves the fate of confiscated dogs uncertain. “Considering the several thousand dogs [that are kept] in Tehran alone, the problem arises as to what is going to happen to these animals,” Hooman Malekpour, a veterinarian in Tehran, said to the BBC’s Persian service. If passed, the law would ultimately energize police and volunteer militias to enforce the ban systematically.
Islam, by custom, considers dogs najes, or unclean, and for the past century cultural mores kept dog ownership down to minuscule numbers. In rural areas, dogs have traditionally aided shepherds and farmers, but as Iranians got urbanized in the past century, their dogs did not come along. In cities, aristocrats kept dogs for hunting and French-speaking dowagers kept lap dogs for company, but the vast majority of traditional Iranians, following the advice of the clergy, were leery of dogs and considered them best avoided.
That has changed in the past 15 years with the rise of an urban middle class plugged into and eager to mimic Western culture. Satellite television and Western movies opened up a world where happy children frolicked with dogs in parks and affluent families treated them like adorable children. These days, lap dogs rival designer sunglasses as the upper-middle-class Iranian's accessory of choice.
"Global norms and values capture the heart of people all around the world, and Iran is no exception," says Omid Memarian, a prominent Iranian journalist specializing in human rights. "This is very frightening for Iranian officials, who find themselves in a cultural war with the West and see what they're offering as an 'Islamic lifestyle' failing measurably."
In 2007, two years into the tenure of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, security forces targeted dog owners alongside a crackdown on women's attire and men's "Westernized" hairstyles. In the regime's eyes, owning a dog had become on par with wearing capri pants or sporting a mullet — a rebellious act.
The criminalizing of dogs, in this context, helps the government address the legal gray areas concerning lifestyle behavior. When authorities found it difficult to police what it termed Westernized hairstyles worn by young men, it solved the problem last year by releasing a poster of specifically banned styles.
For many young people, these measures are a firm reminder that the government will brook no disobedience, whether it be chanting antigovernment slogans in the streets or sporting excessively long sideburns. Dog owners in Iran, like much of the population, are mostly preoccupied these days with inflation, joblessness and the parlous state of the country's economy. But they will soon need to consider whether keeping their shih tzu or poodle is worth the added worry. Their dogs may face the same fate as the hundreds of street dogs that the government regularly sweeps from the streets of Tehran.
"Many in Tehran and other big cities find the killing of street dogs offensive and cruel," says Memarian. "It's like the Iranian people and officials live in two different worlds."
Wild Thing's comment........
The real reason they do not like dogs is because a dog is a higher, superior life than muhammad is.
So this is why IslamObama flies his daughters dog BO, the White House PROP of a dog that no one ever sees, on his own SEPARATE AIRPLANE. Bo gets to ride with IslamObama's boyfriend and constant companion Reggie Love.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Explains the New Terror Threat ( Alert ) Warning System ~ Well Sort Of Nah She Is Mess!!!
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano Explains the New Terror Threat Warning System
New System Replaces Color Coded Terror Alerts
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano unveiled a new terrorism alert system on Wednesday, which will eliminate the Bush-era color-coded chart that had been criticized as ineffective.
The new National Terrorism Advisory System, which will go into effect on April 26, aims to provide details of potential threats, like locations, types of transportation or infrastructure affected, actions taken in response, and recommendations on how the public should respond. It will categorize alerts in one of two ways: "elevated threat" or "imminent threat."
"We face a consistent and evolving threat -- part of it is international and part of it now is homegrown - and we have to deal with both," Napolitano said on MSNBC Wednesday morning. "We want people to be safe and want people to help participate in our own safety by being better informed and better prepared. That's part of the reason have moved beyond the color-code system now."
The department plans to use social media to alert people about potential threats, and the warnings will tend to be specific to a region, Napolitano said.
"That old analogy about connecting the dots ... that's not the problem anymore," she said. "The problem is that we have so many dots coming in -- what's the pattern, what's the trend and what are the tactics that we need to anticipate?"
The new system will gather information from many sectors of the intelligence community, including the FBI and the CIA, Napolitano said. "They will be helping digest the data and making recommendations to me about whether we have something specific enough, credible enough, imminent enough that we need to put out an alert," she said.
Announcing the change in New York, Napolitano cited a "significant day as we continue to build and strengthen our homeland security architecture." She also thanked the city's transit agency for creating the "See Something, Say Something" campaign, which she said brought attention to having ordinary people be "aware of their own surroundings."

Rep. Allen West: Obama Displays 'Third World Dictator-like Arrogance' ~ Allen West Speaks The Truth!
The Laura Ingraham Show, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) compared the president's arrogance to that of a "third world dictator." He also dismissed Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign as nothing more than an effort to pick off conservative voters.
On Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign:
"I think it's part and parcel with the fact that you heard the president announce his campaign, getting that kicked off, and of course you have to try to go out there and garner votes from what is a very conservative group of individuals--that's the United States military."
On Austan Goolsbee's remark that S&P made a "political judgement":
"They don't want to hear the truth. ... They're so used to having the cheering, adoring mainstream media that is nothing more than their own cast of cheerleaders, much the same as an episode of "Glee," and that's what they appreciate more than having real individuals sitting back and assessing this economic situation."
"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that's what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost."
"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that’s what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost...This whole talk about shared prosperity–that really gives me the goosebumps because I’m starting to believe that a community organizer is nothing but a low-level socialist agitator"

Outrage After Muslim Model Sila Sahin Poses Nude For Playboy Cover
Outrage After Muslim Model Sila Sahin Poses Nude For Playboy Cover
'I wanted to be free': Muslim model upsets family by posing nude for Playboy cover
h/t Weasel Zippers
Sila Sahin, a 25-year-old Turkish German living in Berlin, had until now been regarded as a glowing example of how a modern Muslim girl should behave in a multicultural society.
A successful actress starring in German television soap opera Good Times, Bad Times, she pleased her many fans and made her Turkish family proud.
But her latest move has shocked some of those fans, and enraged those closest to her.
Posing provocatively on the cover of German Playboy magazine with one breast exposed, Sila Sahin seems to be sending a clear and deliberate message to her conservative Turkish family.
‘I did it because I wanted to be free at last,’ she said. ‘These photographs are a liberation from the restrictions of my childhood.’
Her family have, unsurprisingly, reacted with horror, and her mother has cut off all contact with the actress.
‘My mother is still angry. It will be even more difficult with my grandparents, my aunts and my uncles,’ she said on the website devoted to her television soap.
She has, however, managed to talk to her actor father, who expressed concern over the pressure she will inevitably face from those not only within the Turkish community in Germany, but from the wider Muslim community as a whole.
Ms Sahin’s declared intention was to used the controversial Playboy photoshoot as a call to action for other Turkish girls who suffer the effects of their strict backgrounds, where women’s choices are often limited, husbands are chosen for the girls and chastity closely controlled.
Her message to these girls? 'For too long I tried to do everything right,' she says. 'I want these photos to show young Turkish women it's okay for you to live however you choose.'
'Many of my countrymen think it's great that I can be so free. With the shoot I hoped to say to them that we do not necessarily have to live under these rules given to us.
In an impassioned interview, as she displayed the revealing photographs, she pleaded with her mother and father to understand the reasons behind her decision to pose naked.
The emotional actress begged for clemency from her family. 'I hope you can forgive me, she said. 'Please let me come home.'

'Let me finish my answers' Thin Skinned An Angry Obama Loses His Cool With Texas Reporter
Dallas-Forth Worth WFAA TV’s Brad Watson in an interview with President Obama at the White House, where he asked Obama tough questions and pushed him on some of his answers. Obama was clearly agitated with Watson, and when the interview was over, angrily told Watson, “Let me finish my answers.”
Basically, Watson just refused to let Obama filibuster the 7-minutes Obama granted him – which is his typical M.O. – and he clearly did not like a reporter who refused to bow and scrape to him the way virtually everyone in the mainstream press does.

Gov. Jindal Will Sign 'birther' Bill If It Reaches His Desk
Gov. Bobby Jindal would sign a bill requiring presidential candidates to provide a copy of their birth certificate to qualify for the Louisiana ballot if it reaches his desk, a spokesman said Monday.
“It’s not part of our package, but if the Legislature passes it we’ll sign it,” press secretary Kyle Plotkin said.
House Bill 561 was filed last week by two Republican lawmakers. President Barack Obama’s citizenship has been challenged by some groups, derisively called “birthers,” despite numerous independent investigations finding that documents and contemporary news reports show that Obama was born in Hawaii.
The bill by state Rep. Alan Seabaugh, R-Shreveport, and Sen. A.G. Crowe, R-Slidell, would require federal candidates who want to appear on Louisiana ballots to file an affidavit attesting to their citizenship, which would have to be accompanied by an “original or certified copy” of their birth certificate.
The requirement also would apply to candidates for U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

President G.W. Bush Honors Wounded Warriors With A Bike Ride In The Desert
Bush honors wounded warriors with a bike ride in the desert
President George W. Bush loves his mountain bike, and later this month he'll hit the road to honor wounded veterans.
From April 25-27, Bush will host the "Warrior 100," a 100-kilometer mountain bike ride in the Big Bend of Texas with 14 service members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I'll be riding across the deserts of Texas with wounded warriors to show the unbelievable character of our men and women in uniform," Bush said in a statement released by his office. "It's a 100-kilometer ride in the desert, and it's not a leisurely ride; it's a ride to herald people who were dealt a severe blow and said, 'I'm not going to let it tear me down.'"
Says the George W. Bush Presidential Center:
The W100 will highlight the courage of US troops who have served their country honorably during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
It will also herald the significant contributions of organizations that support these heroes and their families while they are gone and when they return home. Organizations represented on the ride include the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Ride 2 Recovery, World T.E.A.M. Sports and the Wounded Warrior Project.
The bike ride will serve as the inaugural event of the Social Enterprise initiative of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. The Social Enterprise initiative highlights the work of those who find innovative ways to help others.
Riders alongside President Bush include Sergeant Sam Cila, USA (Ret.) of Riverhead, NY; Sergeant Andy Hatcher, USMC (Ret.) of Alexandria, VA; Sergeant Major Chris Self, USA (Ret.) of Clarksville, TN; Lieutenant Colonel Patty Collins, USA of Killeen, TX; Corporal Jon Copsey, USMC (Ret.) of Vista, CA; Colonel David Haines, USA of Louisville, KY; Specialist Carlos Hernandez, USA of San Antonio, TX; Lieutenant Colonel Marc Hoffmeister, USA of Fort Richardson, AK; Staff Sergeant Scott Bilyeu, USAF (Ret.) of San Antonio, TX; Corporal Josh Davis, USMC (Ret.) of Vail, AZ; Sergeant First Class Dillon Behr, USA (Ret.) of Arlington, VA; Staff Sergeant Kenny Butler, USA (Ret.) of Barre, VT; Sergeant Bryce Cole, USA (Ret.) of Cypress, TX and Specialist Jake Lerner, USA (Ret.) of Jacksonville, FL.

The McLaughlin Group Eleanor Clift: " “What else would you expect from a socialist born in Kenya who’s hiding his birth certificate?"
The Obama media is about to lose it over the questions surrounding Obama and his Birth Certificate. Now, they are bringing it up when others are not!
Here is video from The McLaughlin Group of conservative Rich Lowry calling Obama’s Budget Speech last week, “classless” for inviting GOP Rep. Paul Ryan to sit on the front row of the audience, and then proceeding to spend the first half of the speech demagoguing Ryan’s Budget Plan.
Obama defender Eleanor Clift of Newsweek reacted angrily to Lowry’s statement, saying it was perfectly fair for Obama to do what he did. When Lowry persisted, Clift sarcastically said to him, “What else would you expect from a socialist born in Kenya who’s hiding his birth certificate?”

Rep. Peter T. King,Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security Demands Answers from Holder on Decision Not to Prosecute CAIR, its Co-Founder, and other Unindicted Co-Conspirators in Holy Land Foundation Case
Eric Holder ( DOJ ) had decided, apparently for political reasons, not to prosecute Omar Ahmad, cofounder and longtime Board Chairman of Hamas-linked CAIR. Now Peter King is demanding answers. I hope he gets them, or failing that, opens an investigation of his own.
King Demands Answers from Holder on Decision Not to Prosecute CAIR, its Co-Founder, and other Unindicted Co-Conspirators in Holy Land Foundation Case
Committee on Homeland Security
H/T : Weasel Zippers
U.S. Rep. Peter T. King (R-NY), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, has demanded an explanation from Attorney General Eric Holder as to why he decided not to prosecute the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), its co-founder Omar Ahmad, and other named unindicted co-conspirators in the Hamas terror finance case, United States v. Holy Land Foundation. The other unindicted co-conspirators include the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust.
In a letter to Holder, King wrote:
“I have been reliably informed that the decision not to seek indictments of the Council on American Islamic Relations (“CAIR”) and its co-founder Omar Ahmad, the Islamic Society of North America (“ISNA”), and the North American Islamic Trust (“NAIT”), was usurped by high-ranking officials at Department of Justice headquarters over the vehement and stated objections of special agents and supervisors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Dallas, who had investigated and successfully prosecuted the Holy Land Foundation case. Their opposition to this decision raises serious doubt that the decision not to prosecute was a valid exercise of prosecutorial discretion.”
The signed letter is available at the Committee on Homeland Security website.
The text of the letter sent to Attorney General Holder follows:
April 15, 2011
The Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Attorney General
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington D.C. 20530-0001
Re: United States v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, et al., 3:04-CR-0240-G.
Dear Attorney General Holder:
I write to inquire about your decision not to prosecute the 246 individuals and organizations, named as unindicted co-conspirators in a Hamas terror finance case, United States v. Holy Land Foundation.
I have been reliably informed that the decision not to seek indictments of the Council on American Islamic Relations (“CAIR”) and its co-founder Omar Ahmad, the Islamic Society of North America (“ISNA”), and the North American Islamic Trust (“NAIT”), was usurped by high-ranking officials at Department of Justice headquarters over the vehement and stated objections of special agents and supervisors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Dallas, who had investigated and successfully prosecuted the Holy Land Foundation case. Their opposition to this decision raises serious doubt that the decision not to prosecute was a valid exercise of prosecutorial discretion.
I request that you provide answers to the following questions:
•What are the reasons for the Department’s decisions not to prosecute CAIR, ISNA, NAIT and Mr. Ahmad, who is a CAIR co-founder and former head of the Palestine Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States?
•Who made the final decision not to prosecute? Who, if anyone, from the Executive Office of the President, consulted with, advised, or otherwise communicated with the Department of Justice, in electronic, oral or written form, regarding the Department’s decision to not seek indictments of CAIR, ISNA, NAIT and Mr. Ahmad?
•How does and will the Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation address the potential for CAIR, ISNA, or NAIT to engage in terrorism financing? What policies with regard to those organizations have you implemented to address that threat?
The answers to these questions should provide some explanation for declining a prosecution that is strongly supported by the record from the Holy Land Foundation trial.
As you are aware, in a previously sealed Memorandum Opinion Order of July 1, 2009, United States District Judge Jorge A. Solis declined CAIR, ISNA and NAIT’s August 14, 2007 and June 18, 2008 requests to strike their names from the United States Attorney’s list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case. Judge Solis found that the “Government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA and NAIT with [the Holy Land Foundation, “HLF”], the Islamic Association for Palestine (“IAP”), and with Hamas.”
The Court found that the evidence was “sufficient to show the association of these entities with HLF, IAP, and Hamas. Thus, maintaining the names of the entities on the List is appropriate in light of the evidence proffered by the Government” (citation omitted). At minimum, FBI testimony established that Mr. Ahmad attended a meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in which participants discussed how they could support Hamas, including by raising funds for this terrorist group. NAIT was similarly unsuccessful in its subsequent request to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to have its name removed from the list of co-conspirators.
Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the Department of State since October 9, 1997, and its status was reconfirmed by the most recent annual report of the National Counterterrorism Center, issued April 30, 2010 Hamas shamefully conducts cowardly suicide bombings against civilian targets inside Israel. Hamas also, between 2008 and 2009, conducted 2,614 indiscriminate rocket and mortar attacks upon residential areas in that country, an ally of the United States.
According to the State Department, Hamas finances its terrorist activities “through state sponsors of terrorism Iran and Syria, and fundraising networks in the Arabian Peninsula, Europe, the Middle East, [and] the United States” (emphasis added).
It raises the most serious question for the Justice Department to decline to even attempt to prosecute individuals and organizations, accused by a US Attorney and found by a federal judge, to have a nexus with fundraising for an organization which conducts terror attacks upon civilians.
I believe that in order to maintain the credibility of the Department, there should be full transparency into the Department’s decision. Please respond to this letter by April 25, 2011. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Kevin Carroll at (202)226-8417.
Sincerely,
PETER T. KING
Chairman

George Soros's Bretton Woods II — The Final Enslavement of Mankind
I posted about this when it was coming up. How George Soros was going to be holding his international conference the weekend of, April 8th to April 11th at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.
Bretton Woods is the historic site of the 1944 conference, which established the post-World War II international financial system.
Soros spent $50 million dollars at Bretton Woods to bring together up to 200 academic, business and government policy leaders (some from outside the US) to introduce to his Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET).
This meeting was not recognized by the original Bretton Woods Council. Soros' goal in association with a concurrent meeting of the Tri-Lateral Commission, in DC this weekend, is to dismantle our economy, dismiss the head of our current banks and create a new global financial system sabotaging our US currency.
The attendees at this conference included three members of the Rothschild family along with their primary banker, four members of the British parliament, Paul Volcker, Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, David Dewhurst, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and some World Bank executives.
.
Aaron Klein reports in WND. “Sachs is, a special adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, is founder and co-president of the Soros-funded Millennium Promise Alliance. He has been a World Bank consultant who formerly directed Harvard’s Institute for International Development, which he turned into a major conduit advocating for World Bank and International Monetary Funds use for structural adjustment programs in the Third World and beyond”.
Mr. Klein then cites from the Investor’s Business Daily.
“A Millennium goal called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”
With the Soros influence in this Obama administration is any American safe from the whims of the banksters? Is there the will in Congress to confront the executive abuses of this puppet president?
Just think how much further the dollar has sunk while Chinese reserves have grown to unbelievable levels. No one is saying that a currency crisis is not real. The point is that international finance has the goal to become the credit-funding agent for the entire world.
Dan Gainor from the Media Research Center reveals the plan to put China in the catbird seat.
“INET isn’t subtle about its aims for the conference. Johnson interviewed fellow INET board member Robert Skidelsky about “The Need for a New Bretton Woods” in a recent video. The introductory slide to the video is subtitled: “How currency issues and tension between the US and China are renewing calls for a global financial overhaul.” Skidelsky called for a new agreement and said in the video that the conflict between the United States and China was “at the center of any monetary deal that may be struck, that needs to be struck.”
Panel at Bretton Woods Conference.
“This is the heart of much of our economic catastrophe. Sovereign governments are sacrificing themselves for private banking institutions. Trillions upon trillions of taxpayer dollars, world-wide, are being transferred to banks that have destroyed themselves many times over with their Enron-style Ponzi schemes and ‘creative accounting.’ The question is, how long will people stand for it? Soon it will be too late. So far, Iceland is the ONLY country whose people have made the right choice, while Ireland and Greece have made the devastatingly wrong choice — with Portugal ready to follow suit.”
The significance of the Soros conference at Bretton Woods is that national governments are an endangered species if they do not eliminate the banking cartel that is the primary global dictatorship that faces mankind. The avarice Rothschild culture that underpins the debt created money system is the most dangerous terrorist that seeks to impose the ultimate Global Gulag on every county. The Totalitarian Collectivism we all face is upon us. Soros is an evil man, but the system that he is part of is bent on eliminating or subjugating any regime, like Iceland, that repudiates the rule of banksters.
These financers are admittedly the evil rulers of society. Any attempt to force a singular currency and a universal taxation levee is a fulfillment of the final enslavement of man-kind. Bretton Wood II is an outline for things to come. The debt created money cartel is ready to impose their captivity on sovereign governments. Soros is telegraphing their plan. We are engaged in the final battle for liberty and America is losing the war. The inevitable dollar default is the tool used to sentence you to death row. Now is the time to seek divine guidance and beg for national forgiveness.
.
The April gathering a global economic restructuring.
4-day George Soros event in New Hampshire aims to remake global system 'as they see fit'
"George Soros has brought together a crack team of the world's top economists and financial thinkers."
"Its aim," continued the business newspaper, "to remake the world's economy as they see fit."
More than two-thirds of the slated speakers at this year's conference have direct ties to Soros.
.
Bretton Woods II — The Final Enslavement of Mankind
“The rising powers must be present at the creation of this new system in order to ensure that they will be active supporters.” – George Soros
Charges of a conspiracy theory are a convenient pretext to dismiss criticism when the global financial elites meet to shape the next evolution of centralized control of all economic activity. When Mayer Amschel Rothschild admitted, “Give me the power of the money and it will not matter anymore who is commanding”, he exposed the true nature of international finance. The new front man for the shadow masters of money is George Soros. His visibility is used to deflect attention away from the supra national circle of recluse manipulators, who set the agenda for globalism. The history of world politics is really the chronicle of money, debt and banking. Only by understanding this clash of titans, can one interpret the language of worldwide finance.
It is not often that you get to look into the window of the future before it takes place. The obsession with the political posturing of the torturous grinding process that produces a kosher sausage product causes acute indigestion. Banking is one such example and the INET, The Institute for New Economic Thinking, who sponsored the Bretton Woods II conference is the Neshama gourmet version of ground up animal flesh. Funneling the herd into the corral of a new world currency openly discussed, as the panacea for the coming collapse of international finance, is the height of totalitarian arrogance.
Soros, in The Alchemy of Finance wrote, “To put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes…. As I made my way in the world, reality came close enough to my fantasy to allow me to admit my secret, at least to myself.”
Some of the attendees and speakers at the INET conference included:
• Gordon Brown, former U.K. Prime Minister.
• Paul Volcker, former Fed Chairman and chairman of President Obama’s Economic Advisory Board.
• Economist Jeffrey Sachs, director of The Earth Institute.
• Joseph E. Stiglitz, former senior vice president and chief economist for the World Bank and Nobel Prize winner in Economics.
• INET Executive Director Rob Johnson, former managing director at Soros Fund Management.
Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs, who sits on the board of INET is known for his ‘Shock Therapy’. Aaron Klein reports in WND. “Sachs is, a special adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, is founder and co-president of the Soros-funded Millennium Promise Alliance. He has been a World Bank consultant who formerly directed Harvard’s Institute for International Development, which he turned into a major conduit advocating for World Bank and International Monetary Funds use for structural adjustment programs in the Third World and beyond”.
.
George is the very man who said killing innocent people in World War Two was the best days of his life. This man was chased out of many countries and has warrants for his arrest in a good number of these nations. This man committed fraud all over the world. George Soros should have been arrested.But was not because he is an agent of the Rothschild Dynasty who owns the Federal Reserve Bank.

It is no secret to those of you here that keep up on what is happening in the world. We know that George Soros wants to bring down the United States to its knees. For these public figures to meet against the interest of the People of the United States is a high crime that has to be dealt with.

U..S. Rep. Michele Bachmann: Obama Has Neglected To Prove Eligibility
Rep. Michele Bachmann told told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro that Barack Obama has failed to prove his eligibility. She also said she would bring her birth certificate with her to the first debate.
Bachmann: Obama has neglected to prove eligibility
'All he had to do is just answer some questions and show his document'
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says President Obama has neglected to clearly demonstrate he’s eligible to hold his office, and says it would be simple for him to do so.
“It’s an interesting issue that has gone on for so long and it’s one that the president could have solved very early on,” Bachmann told Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro last night.
“All he had to do is just answer some questions and show his [long-form birth] document and then have people do an attestation that this in fact is a legal document and it’s over, it’s done. And I think the president has neglected to focus on answering that question for people, and that’s why a lot of people still have it lingering in their minds. None of us can prove, none of us can do attestation. Only the president and someone who is legally tasked with attesting to the validity of that document can do that, and I think that’s what the president should do.”
"I'll tell you one thing, if I was ever to run for president of the United States, I think the first thing I would do in the first debate is offer my birth certificate, so we can get that off the table."

Obama, the invisible President – Was not born, did not go to Harvard, took no tests but is the pride of the liberal media thanks to the absence of vetting. And this ghost is a total nightmare for our country and for all of us.

B. Hussein Obama Hosts Boss of Terror Channel Al-Jazeera

Obama Hosts Boss of Terror Channel Al-Jazeera
Obama on Thursday hosted Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani of Qatar, otherwise known as the Boss of Al-Jazeera, for a meeting in the Oval Office. Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani financially sponsors Al-Jazeera and its most famous personality, anti-American and anti-Semitic cleric Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has just returned to Egypt from Qatar to supervise the transformation of that one-time U.S. ally into an Islamic state.
“In addition to our efforts in Libya,” Obama said, “we have a strong relationship between our two countries. It is an economic relationship. It is a military relationship. It is a cultural relationship. And obviously, Qatar has done very well under His Highness’s leadership, but his influence extends beyond his borders. And so we’ve had discussions about how we can continue to promote democracy, human rights, increased freedom and reform throughout the Middle East.”
The influence “beyond his orders” could be a reference to Al-Jazeera, described in one of the WikiLeaks cables from the U.S. as an instrument of foreign policy for the Qatar regime.
Obama also congratulated the emir on Qatar’s selection as host of World Cup soccer in 2022. He noted he’ll be an ex-president by then and made a pitch for good seats.
“I will not forget to send your tickets for the World Cup,” the Qatari dictator said. Obama replied, “Thank you, my friend.”
Once shunned, Al Jazeera has fans in Obama W.H.
By: Keach Hagey and Byron Tau
In the halls of American power, the Arab Spring has brought Al-Jazeera in from the cold.
Seven years after then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable” and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised it as “real news” in her recent Senate testimony.
Not only that, her staffers, as well as those of the CIA and the Obama White House, were attending the Congressional Correspondents’ Dinner as Al-Jazeera’s guests.
“They are a really important media entity, and we have a really great relationship with them,” said Dana Shell Smith, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for international media engagement, who speaks Arabic and has frequently appeared on the channel. “This administration has empowered those of us who actually do the communicating to be in a close relationship with Al-Jazeera. They understand that the relationship can’t consist of complaining to each other about the differences we have.”
The differences also have shrunk as the big story in the Middle East has shifted from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the democratic movements sweeping the region. In the recent uprisings, U.S. interests tended to line up with Al-Jazeera’s, and President Barack Obama alluded to both the network’s influence and its pro-democracy bent in remarks caught on an open mic during a closed-door fundraiser last week.

Obama is on the side of the terrorists. It not exactly a surprise. He has been from the start.
“Obama called him “Your Highness” and “His Highness,” even though the Emir dropped his robes of royalty for a business suit.”
Last time I checked, fraternizing with the enemy in times of war was labeled TREASON and could result in execution by firing squad.

Donald Trump, Fox Network And ‘Ostriches’ by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Donald Trump, Fox Network And ‘Ostriches’
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Barry Soetoro continues to escalate his mockery of the highest office in our Land. Anyone who still believes that Obama’s promise to transform America is for the betterment of the nation is either retarded or embraces anti-American values. They are the baggage the rest of us carry as Obama and the Left explicitly dismantle our fiscal house and disobey the Constitution. A collapse of the Dollar would make it that much easier for them to transform the nation into a socialist regime---a government model which has repeatedly failed the world over.
Unfortunately, the club of delusionary Americans has lately been joined by Bill O’Reilly and Governor Mike Huckabee who publicly deny significance to the fact that Mr. Soetoro (aka Obama) has unlike any prior president failed to demonstrate his eligibility to run for President, and that such lack of compliance with the Constitutional requirement of birthright might allow an anti-American alien to undermine our government, which is exactly what we are witnessing!
The facts speak for themselves: why has Mr. Obama spent a fortune to hide much about his past including his long form birth certificate along with health and education records which deserve public scrutiny for any candidate running for the nation’s highest office? Why has the leftwing media given Barry Soetoro a free pass? Is it to assuage their never ending guilt over racism which occurred half a century ago, even if it means putting an unqualified person in the White House? Their PC has paradoxically placed a noose around America’s neck.
Integrity, wisdom, and statesmanship are necessary presidential characteristics completely lacking in Mr. Soetoro whose narcissistic personality dominates his actions. That was demonstrated this week when he kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign at a time when the nation needs a capable leader and not a professional campaigner. He does not care that he and Fedzillacrats have spent America into a hole to the tune of 15 trillion dollars and growing. Worse, he proposes to spend more to grow Fedzilla! How can any patriot with basic mathematical skills not understand that reliance upon foreign nations for our energy and our finances are parallel roads to national disaster? Either can be taken away from us in an instant, leading to immediate collapse our currency and our survival as a free nation. Is that Mr. Obama’s goal?
Enter Mr. Trump---newcomer to the presidential campaign trail. While portrayed as a joke by the Left and underestimated by Bill O’Reilly of FOX, he has very smartly elevated the issue of Mr. Soetoro’s eligibility to the forefront—an issue sidestepped by the DNC, the judicial branch and Congress. The Left’s cheerleaders and liberal media darlings (including Mr. O’Reilly) take their cues from their network owners and condescendingly refer to those patriots who make connections between Obama’s anti-American behavior and concealment of his true ‘identity’ as ‘right wing extremists’ or ‘birthers’. Since when did ‘fair and balanced’ include denying the undeniable? Not so for Donald Trump whose willingness to confront real issues head on in a refreshingly practical way has earned him a top spot in the list of presidential contenders. Patriots are patiently waiting to see who emerges to dump the current bag of poop from the White House.

Nha Trang, Vietnam: Sun, Scuba and All-Night Parties
.
Nha Trang Vietnam Resorts, Vietnam Nha Trang Hotels, Nha Trang Hotels and Resorts, Nha Trang Beach Hotel
Nha Trang, Vietnam: Sun, Scuba and All-Night Parties
Nha Trang, a seaside resort town located on the south central coast, is Vietnam's beach capital. Nha Trang attracts many types of visitors, from sun worshipers, to scuba diving enthusiasts, to the hard core party goers. If you are looking to explore another side of Vietnam and still catch a few historical sites between mojitos and all-night dance parties, then Nha Trang is your ultimate destination. This idyllic seaside community with its backdrop of jutting mountain tops, palm tree lined white sand beaches, and turquoise colored water dotted with islands offers a plethora of activities to keep you busy.
The number one attraction in Nha Trang is the beach. For beach bums, the best time to visit is June to October in the dry season but the beach is usually busy with tourists and locals year round. Nha Trang's 6 kilometer stretch of white sand beach is lined with palm trees, water front promenades, and oceanfront resorts from budget to 5-stars.
During the day, the beach is full of activity with vendors selling everything from cigarettes to sunglasses to lunch. Local vendors steam up lobsters, prawns and other delicious seafood in large cast iron pots, and slice up exotic fruits for tourists right next to where they are laying in the sand. In addition to catching rays on the beach, you can rent a pool side deck chair and enjoy the western style beach resort atmosphere at either one of Nha Trang's popular pools: Nha Trang Sailing Club or the Louisiana Brewhouse.
Nha Trang offers an assortment of water sports and activities. For the adrenaline junkies, the best time to visit is October through February in the wet season when the sea is rougher. Numerous shops along the beach offer equipment rental and lessons for kayaking, wake boarding, wind surfing, sailing, jet skiing, paragliding, body boarding and snorkeling. Nha Trang is also the number one scuba diving destination in Vietnam offering the best visibility and cheap PADI certification.
If you aren't into adventure you can enjoy more relaxing water based fun at Phu Dong Water Park located near the beach or the island resort of Vinpearl Land accessible by a scenic cable car with amusement park style rides, arcade games and a water park. A great way to also enjoy the water is on a boat tour of the outlying islands of Nha Trang. For dirt cheap you can take a boat tour visiting four of the nine islands: Mieu Island, Ebony Island, Swallow Island and Bamboo Island. For a break from the sun and surf visit one of the many spas offering cheap massage. The Thap Ba Hot Springs, located a few kilometers outside of Nha Trang, provides the ultimate in relaxation with hot springs, mud baths and a hot artificial mineral waterfall. You can organize a private spa trip with a group of friends for a discount or be a big spender and enjoy the VIP spa.
The best way to see the city's cultural sites is by bike. Po Nagar (Thap Ba) Cham Towers are located north two kilometers outside the city across the Cai River. The towers were built by the Cham civilization between the 7th and 12th century and sit on top of a hill providing beautiful views of the harbor below. Only four of the eight original towers still stand with the tallest being 23 meters high. On your way back to town take some time to visit the fishing village located between the old and new bridges and the "real" Nha Trang, a bustling Vietnamese city vastly different than the seaside resort town along the coast. To the west of town is Long Son Pagoda, a Buddhist temple founded in the late 19th century, still home to resident monks. At the top of the hill, behind the pagoda, is a 79-foot tall giant white seated Buddha visible from town. Climb to the top of the hill for stunning panoramic views of the city and bay. Take a ride south and visit the Oceanographic Institute and Bao Dai's Villas, a beautiful example of French colonial architecture and the former residence of the last king Bao Dai. The grounds are lush and well manicured and it's a great place to enjoy a leisurely lunch overlooking the sea on a hot day.
At night, a different side of Nha Trang comes alive. Known as the Cancun, Mexico of Vietnam, you can party all night in Nha Trang. Most nights the beach district is teeming with locals and tourists drinking at bars, dancing at clubs and partying in the streets. The best place in town to dance is the Nha Trang Sailing Club, which hosts its very own version of Koh Phangan's famous all night Full Moon Party called Insomnia. Another way to join in on the debauchery of Nha Trang is to take a booze cruise, an all-you-can-drink party boat on a scenic trip around the bay. If you aren't ready to shake it, head to one of Vietnam's tradition local bars called a "bai hoi" for cheap keg beer curbside. The city also offers a more relaxing evening at one of the many waterfront restaurants along the beach. There's a wide range of choices, from Western to Vietnamese cuisine to local seafood specialties. For cheaper food try the restaurants in town or the waterfront restaurants away from the main tourist district. A popular option is Lac Canh, one of the busiest local restaurants in Nha Trang located near the Cai River area.
Nha Trang Bay is widely considered among the world's most beautiful bays and is fast becoming a popular destination with international travelers of all ages. Whether you spend your days kayaking the bay or relaxing on the beach, Nha Trang has an assortment of activities to please just about everyone.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) Scolds Christiane Amanpour and Media for Not Criticizing Obama More ~ Good For Joe!!!
Republican Joe Walsh tells Christiane "I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more"
Tea Party Congressman Scolds Christiane Amanpour and Media for Not Criticizing Obama More
Tea Party Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) had quite an illuminating discussion with Christiane Amanpour Sunday.
As the host of ABC's "This Week" pushed for higher taxes, Walsh correctly pointed out that Barack Obama's first 2012 budget proposed earlier in the year didn't address entitlement programs saying, "The President of the United States ought to be ashamed of himself, and I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more
WALSH:
Christiane, I've said this before. But, and Steve will say this, in the '80s government revenues went up. We didn't cut spending. Revenues went up in the ’80s. Every time we’ve cut taxes revenues have gone up, the economy has grown. Look, Christiane, I've said this before. The President of the United States ought to be ashamed of himself, and I don't know why your profession hasn't gotten on him more. Two months ago he presents a budget and doesn't even talk about entitlement reform. And then all of a sudden last week he gets a redo? The Republicans are leading on this, perfectly prepared to take whatever political hits we have to take, because the crisis is so severe. I wish he’d be a part of this.
Wild Thing's comment........
When I was watching this Sunday morning, I was so surprised to hear someone say this. I am so glad Joe said what he did about the media. Of course Christiane Amanpour did nto even acknowledge what he had said.
We have waited a long time for our Republican leadership to be more bold and where we never saw it before, ever since November we are starting to see more and more of it.

Deceit, Lying; Easter and Freedom by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Deceit, Lying; Easter and Freedom
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Deceit, lying, and relevant synonyms which when used, are intended to protect from perceived assaults on one’s ego or alter-ego but the end of which leads to the “second (eternal) death.” It began with the serpent lying to the woman in the Garden of Eden telling her: “Thou shalt not surely die,” which in due course led to the fall of humankind: “For as in Adam all die..”
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that great harm results from deception and lying whether at the personal, communal or national level. Likewise “spin” is an interpretation of someone’s communication. It transforms the communication from precisely what was stated to a fallacious derivation with an underlying motive pertaining to what was stated; or in plain English: spin is a deception pertaining to a set of facts with the intention to sway opinion. We see it every day in politics or life in general, the purpose of which is to gain some advantage or avoid some undesirable outcome. Human life at every level is best when all parties deal in truth. i.e. No spin; “Let you yea be yea and your nay be nay;” or, as the courts require, “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
As one who started small, I became the purveyor of some real whoppers when it came to deception and lying. I deceived and lied in little things, medium sized things, and life-event things. I even lied when I didn’t “have to” lie. By the time I was in my thirties, deceiving and lying were so routine and flowed so easily from my lips that they became all but indistinguishable from truth. Not that I always lied, on the professional front, when dealing with hard data, I could be as factual as anyone. But when it came to protecting my ego I made excuses that were nothing more than deception and lies whether the circumstances were personal or professional.
Oh, I could see it in others and self-righteously condemned them, but when it came to my own, I had deflector shields all over the place. I could lie as deftly as an expert ping-pong player. I knew I lied, but lying and deception became an integral part of my life. The more I lied the greater the burden on my conscience but I seemed as powerless to change that as the inability to change the reasons for the lies in the first place.
Then one day God used the most important person in my life to hit me between the eyes with: “Robert, you are lying to me.” Those simple words were so filled with underlying love, so direct and pure in their delivery that it became a life-changing event. First, I admitted my lost state which included a lot more than lying; Second, I asked God’s forgiveness. For the first time in my life I understood the meaning of and absorbed “God’s Grace” made possible through His love for me and for all mankind: the sacrifice, death and resurrection of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Third, I promised to live for Him and turned my back on the old ways. There is a song whose words include: “Then Jesus took my burdens, I could no longer bear; then Jesus took my burdens, in answer to my prayer…; Yes, Jesus took my burdens and filled me with a song!” I accepted God’s Gift and now live for Him and enjoy a new, transformed life.
As one who has devoted his life to the cause of freedom, finding spiritual freedom is by far the most freeing event I have experienced.
Many years have passed since that life-changing event, and since then every day is both wondrous and fulfilling. I am a new creature; indeed I know what it means to be born again. Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls; for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Now I get it, freedom is more than absence of restraint, it is: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” Martin Luther King proclaimed its essence at the conclusion of “I Have a Dream” with the words: “Free at last, free at last, Praise God Almighty, I’m free at last!”
Yes, “For as in Adam all die, Even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
That, dear reader is real freedom! Take it, absorb it, and share it!
Have a Blessed Easter!
Semper Fidelis

Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart At A Tea Party Rally In Wisconsin ~ Fantastic Speech by Sarah!!!
Here’s the FULL 22 min. youtube video which includes James T. Harris introducing Andrew Breitbart and Breitbart’s short intro of Palin
There were between 10,000 and 15,000 patriots in attendance.
This video BELOW is Sarah's speech if you don't want to hear the one above with the added speeches. ~ Wild Thing
Palin Wows Wisconsin Tea Partiers With Blistering Speech; To Obama: 'You Ignored Us in 2010, You Cannot Ignore Us in 2012' from Breitbart on Vimeo.
From yesterday , Andrew Breitbart and Gov. Sarah Palin speaking at a Tea Party Rally in Madison, Wisconsin, at the State Capitol.
Breitbart introduced Palin, and addressed hecklers while he spoke, telling them to “Go to hell,” and also said, “We are witnessing the end of community organizing. The silent majority won.”
Palin then took the stage, and during her remarks was also heckled by protesters on the edge of the crowd. She told the assembled crowd that Madison is the “front line” of the battle for our country. She told the hecklers that Gov. Scott Walker is “trying to save your pensions.”
"You Ignored Us in 2010, You Cannot Ignore Us in 2012′
“We’re here. We’re clear. Get used to it.”
"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."
Palin took issue with the GOP leadership for promising $100 billion in cuts from the current budget, trimming that pledge to $60 billion and finally settling for $38 billion in the recent budget battle.
"Then after some politics as usual and accounting gimmicks we found out — ya know that $38 billion? We’re actually borrowing that $38 billion," Palin said. "That is not courage, that is capitulation."
Palin told the crowd that the “2012 Election begins here. . . . We will fight for America, and it starts here in Madison, Wisconsin. . . . Mr. President – Game on!”
Wild Thing's comment.......
GREAT speech by Sarah!!! Fantastic!!! Palin was very energizing and true to the spirit of liberty.
I was cracking up the way she said, Oh-Ba-mah. She strung the name out in a mocking way. And then said, “You lie.”
LOL Karl Rove is going to be very unhappy. He was on Greta Friday night . And in between calling Donald Trump a joke, and Michele Bachmann not serious, he was also defending the $38 billion in cuts.
I also loved what she said about the GOP.

Senator Charles Grassley Has ‘damning’ Gunrunner Documents From His Investigation Into ATF's "Fast and Furious" Operation
Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) has damning evidence that US ATF officials sanctioned or allowed the sale of assault weapons to straw purchasers. The agency was doing this on purpose. The government encouraged this. Two of the weapons ended up at the murder scene of a US border patrol agent in Arizona, Brian Terry. Obama says he and Holder knew nothing about Operation Gunrunner.
Senator Grassley spoke out on his investigation yesterday on the floor of the senate.
This is an amazing video.
Between 13 and 1,700 guns got away and that’s just what has turned up so far. Several of the guns have been connected to criminal acts. Obama’s failed stimulus plan helped fund the program.
BREAKING: Grassley has ‘damning’ Gunrunner documents – CBS News
Devastating e-mail exchanges between a senior official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Phoenix, AZ and a cooperating gun shop operator have been revealed by Senator Charles Grassley in a letter sent late yesterday to Attorney General Eric Holder.
“In light of this new evidence,” Grassley tells Holder, “the Justice Department’s claim that the ATF never knowingly sanctioned or allowed the sale of assault weapons to straw purchasers is simply not credible.”
Grassley’s press release can be viewed here.
CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson is reporting that the information contained in the e-mails is “damning.”
The e-mail exchange is with David Voth, group supervisor for ATF’s Phoenix Group VII. Voth is the agent who infamously sent an e-mail to other ATF agents, goading them into participating in the Gunrunner project without question, or to find a different job.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is outright treason against the United States; attempting to undermine the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
Holder and Obama should be kicked out big time but sadly they won't. I hate how they keep getting away with everything they do!!!

Marco Rubio Handles Heckler at Tea Party with Aplomb
Great response from Marco Rubio at a Tea Party rally at the bandshell in Orlando's Lake Eoloa Park
Marco Rubio To Heckler: "This is the Best Heckler I've Ever Had So Congratuations"
Attending a Tea Party rally Friday in Orlando, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio tore into President Barack Obama for giving what he described as a campaign speech earlier this week instead of issuing a genuine budget plan.
"The president the other day didn't offer a budget, he offered a speech, a partisan speech, it was a campaign speech,"
Rubio said to a FOX Orlando reporter after the junior senator spoke to thousands of cheering Florida Tea Partyists. "He has to lead."
"These generational issues that our country faces can't be solved unless the president leads and he doesn't want to lead, he'd rather get re-elected than solve our problems, and I think that's a mistake," Rubio added.

Arrogant, Liar and Fraud Obama Caught on Open Mic Telling Donors How He Handled GOP During Budget Negotiations
CBS News’ Bill Plante on an open mic that caught President Obama at a Chicago Fundraiser the other night telling donors about how he handled Republicans during heated negotiations with the GOP over the Budget Deal last week.
Reporters had left the room, and Obama did not know he was being heard over an open mic. He tells the donors:
“I said – ‘You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We’ll have that debate. You’re not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we’re stupid?’”
He later is heard saying that he told the Republicans not to try to “sneak” their agenda through by attaching riders to the budget bill.
"Put it in a separate bill," the president said he told House Speaker John Boehner and members of his staff. "We'll call it up. And if you think you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through."
CBS Radio News White House correspondent Mark Knoller heard Obama's remarks, which the president perhaps did not realize were being relayed by the microphone he was using to the White House press room on an audio feed.
Obama is an expert at “sneaking” things through against the will of the American people. That’s how they got ObamaCare passed in the first place. His political career began through a sneaky act, by getting his challengers thrown off the ballot on technicalities so he could win.
Obama also made clear he is no fan of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the GOP's Budget Committee chairman.
"When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure, he's just being America's accountant ... This is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill--but wasn't paid for," Obama reportedly said.
Wild Thing's comment........
You think we're stupid?
Is that a trick question? heh heh
I bet his handlers are freaking out daily when he is in public.
You know what, I think obama is coming unglued and his handlers know it. Too many lies, scams, kinetic responses, and he’s newspoke himself into such a frazzle that he has no idea what he really thinks besides hate and which way is Mecca.

Obama ( as you know he has tripled the debt in one year) To Tour US Lecturing Americans On Reducing The Deficit
Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard discussed the tour tonight on the FOX All Star Panel.
Bill Kristol calls it “The George Orwell Tour.”
Obama will tour the US next week lecturing on deficit reduction. This is the same guy who tripled the deficit his first year in office.
Obama said he was going to cut the deficit in half back in 2009. Instead he tripled it his first year in office and it’s only getting worse.
The Obama deficit this year will reach $1.65 trillion.
WASHINGTON—The White House projected Monday that the federal deficit would spike to $1.65 trillion in the current fiscal year, the largest dollar amount ever, adding pressure on Democrats and Republicans to tackle growing levels of debt.
Obama is proposing $3.73 trillion in government spending in the next fiscal year, part of a plan that includes budget cuts and tax increases that administration officials believe will sharply bring down the federal deficit over 10 years.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Can you believe it? The ego it takes to do this........there are no words.
America has begged, Townhalls, Tea Paprties, 912 groups, etc.....begged for government to STOP SPENDING. And obama acts like HE is not the one causing the problem it is we the people. There has to be some psychologial term for what obama is because this is insane.

The US House passed the Ryan Amendment today by a 235-193 vote.
The US House of Representatives has passed a budget plan for 2012 which seeks to reduce $6.2 trillion in spending by the government over the next decade.
Fiscal 2012 begins on October 1.
The bill passed the Republican-controlled House by 235-193 vote (only four Republicans failed to approve it; and not one Democrat passed it, according to Reuters).

16 Tons of American Debt As Obama Keeps Increasing Federal Debt
Just how big is our National Debt? $14,300,000,000,000. IowaHawk explains that is equal to 16 million tons of $1 Bills. He has set his explanation to the wonderful song, “16 Tons,” by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Really well done video of this.
And the scary thing too is that from the time the video started until it was finished the debt amount has grown.

Obama Disappointed With Lack of 'Cool' Phone in Oval Office

Obama Disappointed With Lack of 'Cool' Phone in Oval Office
Thursday night Obama whined to donors about wanting more buttons on the Oval Office phone.
The president, in an unscripted moment with donors in Chicago, was talking about the need to innovate in technology.
“The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff,” he said during a small fundraising event at a Chicago restaurant. “I’m like, c’mon guys, I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn’t happen.”
The president made his off-the-cuff remarks with donors as he took questions and after reporters had been ushered out of the event. But the question and answer session was piped back to Washington by mistake and into the press briefing area where a few reporters were still working late.

While Obama Signs Spending Bill He Proves His Talk Is Cheap and Giving His Word Means Nothing As He Disregards Parts Of Bill
Obama signs bill to keep government open, but protects 'czars'
Obama signed into law on Friday the hard-fought legislation to fund government and keep it running through the end of September.
But Obama took the key step of issuing a signing statement, a declaration of constitutional interpretation by a president of legislation he or she might sign into law. It essentially notified lawmakers that he would not abide by the section of the law defunding the establishment of so-called "czars."
Obama has employed a good number of these informal policy advisers who aren't subject to Senate confirmation, drawing the ire of congressional Republicans and prompting them to include in their spending bill a provision barring the use of federal funds for czars.
"The president also has the prerogative to obtain advice that will assist him in carrying out his constitutional responsibilities, and do so not only from executive branch officials and employees outside the White House, but also from advisers within it," Obama said in his signing statement. "Therefore, the executive branch will construe section 2262 not to abrogate these Presidential prerogatives."
Obama also issued a statement strongly objecting to provisions in the legislation intended to bar the transfer of prisoners detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to the U.S., but did not go so far as to outright disregard the provisions. Rather, Obama said he wouldn't accept any expansion of those restrictions, and would seek the repeal of the ones included in the legislation.
Wild Thing's comment........
Stalin and Hitler would be proud of the vile bastard named 0bama.
Contracts, agreements, oaths, our laws, our Constitution, etc. northing means anything to this obama person. Nothing. Only his agenda, his hate and his getting his way no matter what.

Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret) Warns Hateful, Radical Leftists: Don't Mess with Me!
THIS MAN SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH HONOR! He deserves FAR better treatment than he's getting from the hate-filled leftist Democrats
Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret) Warns Hateful, Radical Leftists: Don't Mess with Me!
West to Critics: Beware Whom You Target
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) used an email to constituents to respond to a threat against his Florida office last week and to warn critics to "be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against."
Last week, West's Florida office received an envelope containing white powder and a letter with derogatory remarks directed at the congressman. A hazmat team later determined the powder wasn't harmful.
"This incident, is just another in several incidents that have occurred over the last couple of years and, have put me in quite a bad mood," West wrote in an email sent to constituents Tuesday.
"He offered the example of a "liberal blogger publicly stating that he wanted to 'skin me alive,' " and a protest outside his office led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) "castigating me as a 'misogynist.'
"I find it interesting that in all of these instances, the media simply dismissed the incidents," West said. "One might wonder — is it open season on a principled black conservative?"
West, a retired Army colonel, has become a national figure among Tea Party activists since defeating Democrat Ron Klein last November. The Florida Republican will be a top target of national Democrats seeking to regain the majority in the House in 2012.
"Let me be very clear to all reading this missive, but mostly to liberals who subscribe to this behavior, be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against," wrote West. "I consider myself an easy-going fella who will always engage in intense intellectual exchange. However, if you choose this path of personal attacks, intimidation, and threats you will encounter a very different Congressman (LTC. Ret) Allen B. West."

Japanese Risk Radiation to Rescue Stranded Dogs
Japanese risk radiation to rescue stranded dogs
TOKYO
When Etsumi Ogino saw a news photo of a pack of shelties wandering through an abandoned town near Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear plant, she thought of her own 13-year-old canine Kein and jumped into action.
"My heart trembled," said Ogino, a 56-year-old volunteer at an animal shelter in Chiba prefecture. "They looked just like my dog. I started searching for them right away."
She and others around Japan called Asahi.com, the website of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, which had run the photo. An Associated Press photographer had snapped that photo and others of the dogs on an empty street in Minami Soma city, an area evacuated because of radiation fears.
On Saturday, the AP gave her details of where the dogs were spotted.
Ogino relayed the information to a team of animal rescuers called Sheltie Rescue. By then, the group had been getting emails from dog lovers around the country about the abandoned pack.
Through emails and Internet research it was established that the owner of the dogs was a breeder in Minami Soma. The group contacted the Fukushima city branch of the Japan Collie Club, tracked the owner down by phone at a shelter and got her go-ahead to rescue the dogs.
In the wee hours of Sunday morning, seven volunteers left Tokyo and drove over broken roads and past demolished houses to meet three other volunteers in the ghost town that Minami Soma has become. Some had prepared radiation suits and others wore simple vinyl raincoats.
The first two to arrive found the pack around the Odaka train station, near the owner's home, where the AP team had last seen them.
"They were waiting for their owner," said Tamiko Nakamura, a volunteer who went with the group from Tokyo.
The dogs had been left some dry food, and weren't starving.
It took a while to entice them with snacks, and six or seven were bundled into each car. The group saved 20 dogs in all.
Most were taken to a veterinary clinic in Kanagawa prefecture just west of Tokyo. Others are being cared for by individuals in other areas.
The owner, worn down by the disaster and worrying about her dogs, was "extremely happy," Nakamura said. She said the owner did not want her identity revealed.
Nakamura only regrets that some of the dogs in the pack ran away and countless others are still stranded in the evacuation zone.
"There are still some left behind," she said. "I'm concerned about them and want to pull them out."
Wild Thing's comment.........
What an incredibly touching story.
I always worry about the animals when there are disasters that occur. The bottom line is also that dogs would do anything for us, even if they were aware of the radiation they would come to our rescue. We have all heard of fantastic stories of an animal coming to help their owner or even others they do not know at great risk to their own lives.

Obama: I Was Born In Hawaii And I Don't Have Horns ~ Another LIE by Obama Because He Continues To Hide His BC and Other Documents
Obama Exclusive: I Was Born in Hawaii and I Don’t 'Have Horns'
by George Stephanopoulos
I thought the president would take a pass when I asked him about Donald Trump’s rise to the top of the Republican field in my exclusive interview today.
Far from it.
He grabbed at the chance with a big smile – saying he thinks the whole issue will be a problem for Republicans.
“I think that over the last two and a half years there's been an effort to go at me in a way that is politically expedient in the short-term for Republicans. But [it] creates, I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in a general election where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii. He-- he doesn't have horns…we're not really worrying about conspiracy theories or-- or birth certificates,” President Obama told me.
Wild Thing's comment........
Well, he probably does have horns (hidden behind those bat-ears) but as for the rest of it, why doesn’t he simply show us his records? Not only the BC, but all of his school records, his medical records, etc.
Obama being questioned about this is a sure sign Obama is getting nervous. If anything, the birth issue has gained more traction and won’t go away.
Remember when George S. helped out Obama when Obama talked about "my Muslim faith" and George immediately corrected him with the prompt "you mean your Christian faith".
Just show the document that you have spent $2 million dollars trying to hide.

Glenn Beck Mouths Off Attacking People Wanting Proof Of Obama's Birth Certificate ~ Beck Needs To Learn A Few Things!!!!!
‘Stop With the Damn Birth Certificate!’ Beck Delivers Strong Message to Birthers
~ snipet ~
“Stop with the damn birth certificate!” he said. “Stop!” According to him, it is a non-issue that only detracts from the real problem in America, which is progressives fundamentally transforming America.
“If you’re going to lose your country– we’re going to lose it on a birth certificate?” he asked. “You have a real opportunity to talk about American exceptionalism … instead you’re going to waste time on the birth certificate?”
“You’re out of your mind if you think that is a winning argument for the next election. You’re out of your mind. You have to go fight the battle on the principles of America!”
Beck said he doesn’t think Obama is a “Manchurian candidate,” and reaffirmed his believe that the president was born in America.
Wild Thing's comment..........
Bye Bye Beck! Beck contradicts himself on this one. He talks about finding the truth regardless of where it leads. So to take this attitude has an extra added stink to it.
And I guess Beck cannot multi-task either or he would know we can fight back on more then one thing.
It’s about the Constitution, Beck. Ever hear of “natural born Citizen”, Beck? Doesn’t he think we can investigate more than one thing at a time? Memo to Beck: Perhaps the most important single element of American exceptionalism is a written Constitution that has lasted far longer than any other in the history of the world. For good reasons, that Constitution requires that the highest office holder in our government be a natural born citizen. And relevant to the determination of natural born citizenship is a birth certificate!
All our major government officials are sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution. That's because if we don't see to it that the Constitution is enforced and protected whenever threatened - from both within and without, we will lose our Constitution and the exceptionalism it has fostered!
Imagine how the framers would react to these so-called conservatives being too frightened to even demand an answer a question to defend the constitution, much less give their lives to protect it.
For a man who continually says ‘the truth has no agenda’ and is as emotional, as most Americans, about loosing the fabric of this country, it‘s wrong to tell people to ’stop with the damned birth certificate‘ when the American people haven’t been offered a ‘real’ one.
For me the Constitution is all or nothing and I will not have total respect for a person if they do not feel the same way....so bye bye Beck on this issue for sure!!!!!

Money to Burn; Obama’s EPA Pays to Upgrade Mexican Trucks So They Can Enter US
Money to burn; Obama’s EPA pays to upgrade Mexican trucks so they can enter US
The day the government passed the Stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown, we learned the U.S was giving $20 million to Pakistan to help them start Sesame Street. Now, since we have all this extra money, team Obama has decided to pay $1,600 per truck to replace the old mufflers with new catalytic converters, reducing harmful diesel emissions by up to 30%…. “Free trade” isn’t so “free” after all.
The fact that Obama’s EPA is punishing US industry with a slew of new business-killing regulations is one thing… The fact that Obama’s EPA is paying the Lung Association to defeat Republicans is something else — but, this takes the cake… Obama’s EPA is upgrading Mexican trucks so they can travel and do business in the US.
Corruption Chronicled
In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise.
The Mexican trucks enter the U.S. under a 17-year-old international trade pact known as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and they’ve created an air pollution crisis. The air quality in border towns has been especially impacted by the exorbitant levels of exhaust released by the Mexican trucks, which also fail to meet American safety standards.
Since the Mexican truckers have no intention of fixing the problem, Uncle Sam has stepped in to save the environment. U.S. taxpayers have picked up the cost to replace old mufflers on dozens of trucks and many more are scheduled to be upgraded by the middle of this year. The unbelievable story was reported this week by an Arizona newspaper that says replacing the old mufflers with new catalytic converters will reduce harmful diesel emissions by up to 30%.
This radical government agency is doing all it can to destroy US business, but they’re helping Mexican truckers? Something is terribly wrong with this administration.

Jesse Jackson Subject of Gay Harassment Complaint
Jackson Subject of Gay Harassment Complaint
"Complaint" " is not a lawsuit against Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr
by BJ Lutz
A former employee of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. at the Rainbow Push Coalition has filed a bombshell wrongful termination and discrimination complaint against the civil rights leader with the City of Chicago’s Commission on Human Rights.
The complaint, filed sometime last year by Tommy R. Bennett, a regular on the Tom Joyner Radio show and member of Barack Obama’s LGBT Leadership Council, includes shocking details about Jackson’s behavior toward the openly gay staffer including a suggestion that the civil rights leader may have propositioned him.
Jackson has denied the allegations in a legal response that was filed in July 2010 and resurfaced when the Windy City Times published a story Tuesday.
Bennett, 55, claims Jackson ridiculed him in front of other employees and required him to perform “humiliating tasks” like escorting women to Jackson’s various hotel rooms, cleaning up after alleged trysts and packing his clothing. It also includes a suggestion that Jackson may have asked for oral sex.
Jackson could not be reached for comment after multiple attempts by NBCChicago, but his legal representatives did respond to the complaint in July. Bennett also has not commented to NBCChicago. (Read a .PDF version of the complaint here and the Jackson legal response here, both of which were obtained by theGrio.com)
Bennett worked for the Rainbow PUSH Coalition for more than two years as the National Director of Community Affairs. The complaint states that Bennett endured a string of discriminatory treatment from multiple supervisors, but his protests were met with deaf ears.
In 2008, Bennett assumed the duties of Jackson’s travel assistant.
In that capacity, Bennett alleges to “clean his [hotel] room after sexual intercourse with women.”
Bennett's complaint requests back and front pay, compensation for emotional distress and punitive damages all to the tune of roughly $450,000. Bennett also wants an amendment to the civil rights organization's non-discrimination policy to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Jackson, a former presidential candidate, has been married to his wife, Jacqueline Lavinia Brown, since 1962, but has had bouts with infidelity. One affair with a staffer resulted in the birth of a girl in 1999.
He has five children with Brown, including Jesse Jackson, Jr., who represents Illinois' 2nd District in the United States House of Representatives.
Wild Thing's comment........
Oh no and we all had such tremendous respect for the Rev. Jesssseeeee Jackson.....NOT.
Now we will probably here how it is a right wing conspiracy or something.
Plus, the writer of the articles name is "BJ" - hahahahahaha ( sorry could not help it. )
I recall that Jackson dissed obozo. Wonder if this is pay back?
If it is true Jackson won't be punished for any of this. The left hardly ever gets truly punished.

Obama's R.O.E.:Catch-and-Release IED-Bombers (Afghanistan)
Recon Marine Cpl. Todd Love (above) got a hero's welcome in his hometown of Acworth, Georgia this week. Love lost both legs and his left arm in an IED explosion in Afghanistan a few months ago. The Washington Examiner story below by Sara Carter tells us that even if US forces had photographed the bomber in the act and captured him with bomb traces on his hands, they would then have had to feed him, clothe him ... and let him go.
Catch-and-Release IED-Bombers (Afghanistan)
by Diana West
This is another Afghanistan scandal that should get Congress pounding tables and demanding answers from the Pentagon and the White House. It should get readers doing the same. After all, we pay $350 million a day for this.
Carter writes:
Several Taliban detainees who had been captured in February after being observed placing bombs in the culverts of roads used by civilians and military convoys near Kandahar were fed, given medical treatment, then released by American troops frustrated by a policy they say is forcing them to kick loose enemies who are trying to kill them.
Despite what American soldiers say was a mountain of evidence, which included a video of the men planting the bomb and chemical traces found on their hands, there was nothing the soldiers who had captured them could do but feed and care for them for 96 hours and then set them free.
In another incident, members of a unit attached to 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment survived an attack by a suicide bomber on their convoy when his device failed to detonate. Soldiers managed to capture the would-be martyr, but he too was released after being held for four days.
"We put our lives on the line to capture the enemy," a soldier with the Stryker regiment told The Washington Examiner. "Since my deployment, every insurgent we've captured has been released."
Come again?
Since my deployment, every insurgent we've captured has been released."
International Security Assistance Forces officials contacted by The Examiner admitted that releases like these were common. The officials said ISAF forces can hold detainees for up to 96 hours, during which time detainees are "screened and a decision is made whether to release the individual, transfer them to appropriate Afghan authorities, or to the detention facility in Parwan [at Bagram Air Base]."
ISAF spokesman Lt. Col. John Dorrian said things are expected to change. He said Afghanistan's Ministry of Interior, supported by Combined Joint Interagency Task Force 435, is implementing a system for fingerprinting captured insurgents.
"This program is going to make a huge difference, dramatically reducing insurgents' ability to hide among the general population," he said. "It will also improve the ability of Afghan and coalition forces to gather evidence of insurgent activity that will hold up in court."
Since when do soldiers have to gather "evidence" on their enemies? Welcome to COIN.
However, the program is not yet operational. Like many plans associated with the Afghan war, there are many potential setbacks ahead.
Troops say top commander Gen. David Petraeus has not fulfilled promises he made to Congress last year to review and, where appropriate, change rules of engagement that have restricted troops' ability to stop the enemy.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, former commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan. promised that ISAF would have control of at least 40 Afghan districts by the end of 2010. That promise also was not met.
Troops say it's impossible to hold the terrain when insurgents know that, if captured, they cannot be held.
The policy of releasing insurgents is expected to continue for now, officials said.
The Afghan legal system has no Western-style standards of prosecution that would allow suspected Taliban to be held in civil detention, ISAF officials said.
Um, the Afghan legal system (sharia-based) has no Western-style standards of anythiing.
"While there may be ample evidence to detain an individual, the same evidence may be insufficient to obtain an indictment or bring the detainee to an evidence-based trial," Dorrian said. "In other instances, individuals may be detained based on legitimate intelligence, but the intelligence may be classified and thus not able to be presented in open court. In some instances, this results in the individual being released."
ISAF general staff meeting.
James Carafano, senior defense analyst for the Heritage Foundation, said releasing suspected insurgents is not only a problem for U.S. troops but civilians who have been tormented under Taliban rule.
"The real issue is what is the right thing to do?" Carafano said. "Putting Taliban fighters back in the field who may kill or terrorize Afghan civilians as easily as U.S. soldiers is never the right thing to do. The U.S. troops will not be there forever --
Sez who?
-- and local officials need to start thinking about the long-term interests of their own people."
American troops say the policy is a morale killer.
How about just plain "killer"?
They say the inability to hold suspected insurgents is one of the reasons why the U.S. has been unable to suppress the Taliban.
Detainees can be held at various field detention facilities throughout Afghanistan. "Capacity is not an issue as to whether an individual remains detained," an ISAF official stated.
"How much more evidence do you need when they are captured on video and tested positive for ... chemicals on their hand?" a military official in Afghanistan said. "That's not enough evidence for our forces to transfer the detainees to a permanent facility before they try to kill U.S. troops again? It's unacceptable."
So don't accept it.
This is the article she is writing about ~ Wild Thing
Afghan rules of engagement force U.S. soldiers to free insurgents caught red-handed

Obama Spent Up To 200 Million Taxpayer Dollars To Push Obamacare
Judicial Watch Obtains HHS Records Detailing Taxpayer-Funded Obamacare Propaganda Campaign.
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Obama Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) detailing the agency’s massive taxpayer-funded multimedia campaign designed to promote the Affordable Health Care Act (also known as Obamacare) and other HHS policy initiatives. According to the records obtained by Judicial Watch pursuant to a March 23, 2011, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 11-608)), the total cost of the campaign, which targets Obama’s electoral coalition, could reach as much as $200 million.
Among the highlights from the documents:
•An April 27, 2010 Department of Health and Human Services Acquisition Plan entitled “National Multimedia & Education Campaign & Grassroots Outreach,” details a comprehensive five-year communications program covering a variety of HHS policy initiatives, including “health care reform.”
•According to a section of the Acquisition Plan entitled, “Independent Government Cost Estimate,” the Health and Human Services ASPA (Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs) states: “ASPCA is unable to provide a definitive government cost estimate. Campaigns vary is [sic] size and scope. Some campaigns involve radio, some TV, and some print. Other campaigns may involve all of those avenues plus on ground events, website, bus tours, etc.” However, ASPA “is letting this contract in order produce three to four campaigns per year through the life-cycle of the contract. We are requesting a contract with a $200,000,000 maximum.”
•According to a subsequent March 14, 2011, contract included among the documents, HHS hired The Ogilvy Group “to provide services to design, develop, and execute a multiplatform educational media campaign to promote the new website Healthcare.gov, including the new Spanish language version of the website.” The total amount of the contract award: $3,998,928.
~ snipet ~
“There is nothing educational about this Obamacare propaganda campaign to force ‘behavioral changes’ on Americans. These records prove the administration is using taxpayer dollars to manipulate public opinion. It also appears the Obama administration is trying to get a leg-up in the reelection campaign by targeting key Obama constituencies with positive and misleading messages about the president’s ‘signature’ policy initiative,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This Big Brother campaign is most certainly underhanded, potentially unlawful, and it must be stopped. If Congress is looking for a place to trim the deficit, this is a good place to start.”
In November 2010, Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Obama HHS regarding a series of three Medicare television advertisements featuring actor Andy Griffith. The Obama Administration spent $3,184,000 in taxpayer funds to produce and air the advertisements on national television in September and October 2010 to educate “Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers, and family members about forthcoming changes to Medicare as a result of the Affordable Care Act.” However, according to FactCheck.org, a project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, the advertisements intentionally misinformed the American people.

The Truth About Those Budget Cuts ~ $14.7 Billion in Actual Cuts Not $ 38.5
.
The meat of the spending deal struck between the two parties late Friday night was revealed in a legislative omnibus released early Tuesday morning. The specifics show that finding nearly $40 billion in cuts during the 2011 fiscal year required clever accounting and, for the White House, a willingness to concede on rhetoric to find gains on substance.
For example, the final cuts in the deal are advertised as $38.5 billion less than was appropriated in 2010, but after removing rescissions, cuts to reserve funds, and reductions in mandatory spending programs, discretionary spending will be reduced only by $14.7 billion.
White House officials said throughout the process that the composition of the cuts was more important than the top-line number, and that including mandatory cuts allowed that top line to grow while limiting the immediate impact of the cuts.
The move also keeps the 2011 discretionary baseline slightly higher, a terrain advantage for the Democrats heading into the 2012 spending process.
Republican press releases are pointing out that the deal eliminates four White House policy “czars,” but those positions had already been phased out by the White House — the health care policy director after Obama’s health care plan became law, and the “auto czar” following the government restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler.
Despite finding common ground on many cuts, Republicans say the bill sets the stage for further cuts in a vote to raise the government’s borrowing limit and in 2012 spending, shifting the conversation in Washington.
Still, the GOP collected its pound(s) of flesh from the $1.3 trillion federal budget and Obama’s priorities: $1.6 billion in reductions at the Environmental Protection Agency, though that is nearly half what the House asked for in February; nearly a billion from drinking water funds at the Department of the Interior; $2.9 billion in high-speed rail money, and hundreds of millions in public housing funds, among other savings.

Never ever trust a democrat..never. I am suprised that Boehner did not see that he was being set up. He was out numbered for sure, but our side has got to realize that anything they do with a democrat they need to have their swords drawn at all times.

Calif. Teachers Federation Endorses Convicted ‘Cop Killer’ Mumia Abu-Jamal ~ Teachers Have Become Violent and Radical Enemies Of Our Country
On December 9, 1981, at approximately 3:55 a.m., Officer Danny Faulkner, a five year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, made a traffic stop at Locust Street near Twelfth Street. The car stopped by Officer Faulkner was being driven by William Cook. After making the stop, Danny called for assistance on his police radio and requested a police wagon to transport a prisoner. Unbeknownst to him, William Cook’s brother, Wesley (aka Mumia Abu-Jamal) was across the street.
As Danny attempted to handcuff William Cook, Mumia Abu-Jamal ran from across the street and shot the officer in the back. Danny turned and was able to fire one shot that struck Abu-Jamal in the chest; the wounded officer then fell to the pavement. Mumia Abu-Jamal stood over the downed officer and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Mumia Abu-Jamal was found still at the scene of the shooting by officers who arrived there within seconds. The murderer was slumped against the curb in front of his brother’s car. In his possession was a .38 caliber revolver that records showed Mumia had purchased months earlier. The chamber of the gun had five spent cartridges.
A cab driver, as well as other pedestrians, had witnessed the brutal slaying and identified Mumia Abu-Jamal as the killer both at the scene and during his trial. On July 2, 1982, after being tried before a jury of ten whites and two blacks, Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Officer Danny Faulkner. The next day, the jury sentenced him to death after deliberating for two hours. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard the defendant’s appeals and upheld the conviction on March 6, 1989.
.
Calif. Teachers Federation Endorses Convicted ‘Cop Killer’
The California Federation of Teachers — a branch of the AFL-CIO — has adopted a resolution at its annual conference supporting convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Daily Caller reports.
From TheDC, which notes that Abu-Jamal is now being called a “journalist:”
Among the resolutions largely pertaining to education and collective bargaining rights was Resolution 19 – to “Reaffirm support for death row journalist.”
“Therefore, be it resolved, that the California Federation of Teachers reaffirm its support and demand that the courts consider the evidence of innocence of Mumia Abu-Jamal,” the Committee Report reads.
Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former member of the Black Panther Party, was convicted of shooting, multiple times, Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. He reportedly confessed to the crime and was given the death penalty.
Instead of recognizing Abu-Jamal’s conviction, the federation believes he is innocent and a civil rights hero.
“Mumia Abu-Jamal has for decades as a journalist fought courageously against racism and police brutality and for the human rights of all people and has taken strong stands in support of working people involved in labor struggles and in support of well-funded, quality, public education,” the resolution reads.
But not everyone is convinced.
“Somebody should tell the California Teachers Federation that this is over, he is in jail, he is going to stay there,” Daniel Flynn, author of “Cop killer: How Mumia Abu-Jamal conned millions into believing he was framed, told TheDC. “You have numerous eyewitnesses saying Mumia did it. You had ballistic evidence – Mumia’s gun at the scene was consistent with the bullet used to kill Faulkner. Mumia admitted after the fact that he did it.”
That doesn’t matter to the CFT. “The delegates decided it was time to reiterate that they supported him due to the irregularities that they felt had taken place during his case,” a spokesman for the organization told TheDC. He went on to say that the CFT takes positions on a variety of “social matters.”
Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones is also an Abu-Jamal supporter.

Ambassador Bolton on Fox News Speaks About Obama and Libya
"This is going to end up being the worst of both worlds if we keep on like this...We're announcing basically that the mission has failed." Ambassador Bolton on Fox News
While the African Union is trying to negotiate a ceasefire between Qaddafi and the rebels, the Nato Secretary General is backing away from Libya saying that military action alone won’t solve Libya’s problems, which basically means that the mission has now failed.
BOLTON:
"I think President Obama has taken what was at one point a fairly straight forward mission with a fairly straight forward objective that is to say getting rid of Qaddafi and turned it into a swamp.
The President said that our objective in using military force against Qaddafi’s army was to protect innocent civilians. What happens in a cease-fire is that Qaddafi stays in power. Since Qaddafi is the principle threat to these innocent Libyan civilians, we’re announcing basically that the mission has failed and setting up the possibility for future conflict in the very near future."
So if we can’t win the war in Libya and getting Qaddafi out isn’t our objective, then it looks like Obama has not only wasted a bunch of money but also put our troops in harm’s way for nothing. If Qaddafi stays in power then literally nothing has changed and he will likely defeat the rebels and kill them as I doubt he will settle for just half the country, at least in the long run. Thus our humanitarian objective of protecting innocent civilians will have failed as well.

LOL I had to laugh watching this, the way they at each other about obama.
Communists one and all in this video.
I wish someone in the media would point out that obama is not a black man. And then ask why does he only claim to be black and not his white half. We know why of course, he said enough hate of whites in his books but it would be good to see this hammered at obama what a racist he is.
I heard on one of the radio talk shows that on the census obama only maked black and not both. The radio host said most people mark both when they had a white and a black parent.

Donald Trump Brings Up Obama’s dealings with Tony Rezko
The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008. The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.
President Obama “never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko,” said Donald Trump on Fox News.
“People should look into that one,” he added.
Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a “slum landlord.”
Rezko is am Illinoisan political fundraiser who was convicted for fraud and bribery in 2008. He was accused of using his political position to extort money from businesses seeking contracts from the Illinois Teachers System Board and the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
Back in the 1990s (before Rezko’s offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.
In 2005, Rezko’s wife bought a lot adjacent to a house Obama purchased for $625,000 and subsequently sold a part of it to Obama. The deal generated much controversy back in Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Trumps decision to go after Obama is a real problem for obama given Trump’s profile in the public eye.
One thing for sure imo, anyone that wants to run for president should be bringing all of this up. Unless they are a McCain type, then they will tell us how obama is a man of honor like McCain did during the last presidential election.
Obama has threatened the American people, during his campaign, and during his presidency, verbally attacked us, put us down and put America down. I say it is take no prisoner campaigning that will win and get obama out of office, this election when it starts is no time to be calling the left friend, or going easy on obama on any subject.
It does feel good as we see how Trump completely bypasses Republican candidates, and GOES FOR OBAMA JUGULAR! Listen and learn Repulican candidates. This is political guerrilla warfare and that is what is needed against obama and his agenda.
America's survival is at stake.

LMAO Is Mass. Democrat Rep. Ed Markey On Drugs Or Just Nuts??!! No, He is a Typical Dem. Politician
Democrat Rep. Ed Markey rants against the GOP, accusing them of polluting and trying to pass legislation to help “destroy the whole wide world.”
According to Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey, Republicans are out to shut down the Internet and destroy the entire planet.
A video posted at The Blaze shows the liberal Democrat making his outrageous charges on Saturday - one day after Congressional leaders avoided a shutdown of the federal government.
"Republicans are trying to pass legislation destroying the World Wide Web," Markey whined, adding "and they're also trying to pass legislation to help destroy the whole wide world."
According to Markey, the GOP is taking aim at Google Earth, and seeks to pollute the entire planet.
"They are trying to mess with the blogosphere and pollute the atmosphere at the same time," Markey said.
In Markey's worldview, the vote to prevent a takeover of the Internet by the FCC will somehow "clog" and destroy the internet.
But silly comments and demagoguery are nothing new for Markey.
During the debate over funding for NPR and PBS, Markey held a press conference using Arthur the Aardvark - the popular PBS children's character - in an effort to demagogue the budget issue:
As Congresswoman Betty McCollum clung to an Elmo doll, Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) beckoned Arthur the Aardvark to join him in a press conference calling on Republicans to continue funding the taxpayer-subsidized NPR.
"Come over here Arthur,” he said.
“We need your help today,” he told a person dressed as the PBS character. “We can’t leave Arthur and all of his pals in the lurch.”

Grifter Obama To Reject Rep. Paul Ryan's Deficit-Reduction Plan Instead Obama Prefers To Raise Taxes and Cut Health Care For Elderly and Poor!!!
Obama will unveil a long-term deficit reduction plan this week that includes cuts to entitlements like Medicare and Medicaid and raises taxes, White House Senior Advisor David Plouffe said Sunday.
“The president later this week is going to lay out in detail his approach to the deficit reduction going forward,” Plouffe said on ABC’s ‘This Week.’
“Obviously you’ve got to look everywhere,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Every corner of the federal government has to be looked at here.”
That includes reforming Social Security, he said, which some Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have vowed to block.
House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan unveiled a Republican deficit-reduction plan earlier this month that would cut $6.2 trillion over ten years and is estimated to reduce the deficit by $4.4 trillion more than the budget Obama proposed in February.
Plouffe said that while the Republican plan could pass the House, it would never make it through the Democratic-controlled Senate.
“It’s not going to become law,” Plouffe said.
"Barack Obama will this week propose cuts in health care provision for the elderly and the poor as he seeks to reach agreement with Republicans on bringing America’s record levels of debt under control. "
Aides said that in a major speech on Wednesday the US president will lay out plans that will include reform of Medicare and Medicaid, the major subsidised health care schemes that are among the main causes of the country’s $14.25 trillion (£8.7 trillion) national debt.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
The plan of the Rats is simple. Screw everything up and get the House back. Then raise taxes and cut defense.
Isn’t this at least the third time Obama SAID he was going to cut the budget? You know, focus like a laser beam, not rest until it’s cut, etc.? And yet, and yet, never any actual effort other than to submit budgets with every higher deficits, and threaten to shut down the U.S. government should the House Republicans attempt the smallest, tiniest cuts - cuts that amount to a couple of days worth of deficit.
Obama probably has to get the budget plan from his owner George Soros.

Donald Trump Responds To New York Times
To the Editor:
Re “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” by Gail Collins (column, April 2): ..... (LINK to Her write up about Trump)
Even before Gail Collins was with the New York Times, she has written nasty and derogatory articles about me. Actually, I have great respect for Ms. Collins in that she has survived so long with so little talent. Her storytelling ability and word usage (coming from me, who has written many bestsellers), is not at a very high level. More importantly, her facts are wrong!
As far as her comments on the so-called “birther” issue, I don't need Ms. Collins's advice. There is a very large segment of our society who believe that Barack Obama, indeed, was not born in the United States. His grandmother from Kenya stated, on tape, that he was born in Kenya and she was there to watch the birth. His family in Honolulu is fighting over which hospital in Hawaii he was born in-they just don't know.
He has not been able to produce a “birth certificate” but merely a totally unsigned “certificate of live birth”-which is totally different and of very little significance. Unlike a birth certificate, a certificate of live birth is very easy to obtain. Equally of importance, there are no records in Hawaii that a Barack Hussein Obama was born there-no bills, no doctors names, no nurses names, no registrations, no payments, etc. As far as the two notices placed in newspapers, many things could have happened, but some feel the grandparents put an ad in order to show that he was a citizen of the U.S. with all of the benefits thereto. Everybody, after all, and especially then, wanted to be a United States citizen.
The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly.
For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don't realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest "scam" in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond.
Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!

For America’s Sake Take it Away From Democrats by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
For America’s Sake Take it Away From Democrats
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
Listening to, observing and reading the “uber” left cacophony about what amounts to minuscule reductions in the Federal Budget proposed by Republicans is so funny that one has to belly laugh them into derision. Actually that applies to both sides of the political divide, on the one hand Democrats for being so over-the-top in their ideological branding and Republicans for being too timid to step up and state the fact that spending priorities are always ideologically driven. The following are irrefutable axioms.
1. All legislation, no matter who sponsors it, affects at least two groups.
2. Legislation favoring one interested party inherently disfavors some other party.
3. All legislation is ideologically driven.
4. Politics, which is the public policy exercise of competing ideologies (except totalitarian states), is inherent in everything that is spoken or done.
This is amply illustrated by a number of headline quotes from those on the left (those from the right are too benign albeit profound, to be included):
• Democrat House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi said, “There is a war on women,” which is silly. If women want to have an abortion they can pay for it themselves rather than require those of us who find abortions both evil and repugnant to pay for them.
• According to MyFoxDC.com, Washington, D.C., Democrat Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton stated, “This (proposed legislation) is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians.” Given that U.S. Taxpayers fund a significant portion of the D.C. City budget with a proscription against Federal Funds being used for abortions, any abortions funded by the City inherently absorb Federal and therefore American taxpayer support. Would Holmes Norton call it robbery if she were required to personally fund abortions?
• In an article by Jeff Poor in the Daily Caller, Jessee Jackson sees the Budget battle as: “[T]his really is a Civil War fight,” “This is making the federal government dysfunctional on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. These guys will support three wars. They’ll support tax dodgers. They’ll support the wealthiest Americans getting tax breaks. They want to cut into education and health care. This is an ideological battle.” Mr. Jackson has had a “really tough” life constantly playing the race card to line his pockets at every turn.
• In a Reuters report, according to Harry Reed: "Republicans want to shut down the government because they think there's nothing more important than keeping women from getting cancer screenings.” Of course, this too is inane since there are numerous sources by which any woman who desires cancer screening can obtain one free of charge.
One must keep in mind that these are of the same ilk who as a practical matter believe that government owns everything and that Americans are here to support their pet government programs. Their mentality is somewhat akin to the system that existed in the Soviet Union before its collapse.
One leading Democrat recently stated to the effect, that revenue (i.e. taxes) generation needs to be addressed in addition to cutting spending to get the budget and debt under control. In plain English what he meant was that Republicans should agree to raise taxes if they want to bring down the National Debt and balance the Federal Budget. His poly, if Republicans were stupid enough to fall for it, would allow him like the proverbial rooster, to mount the fence and crow that “those evil Republicans who want to take more money from the already hard pressed Middle Class.” Is there anyone so uninformed to not know that most taxpayers’ aggregate taxes amount to well over 50%. “Aggregate” taxes in this context means Federal, State and local taxes as well as excise taxes and government fees, the latter, tax by another name.
Something evil has been coming for months and will soon begin to hit full force, it is high inflation, the government’s way of eroding the value of Americans’ income in order to “spread the wealth around.” Printing money makes it available for the left’s favorite programs like funding NPR and Planned Parenthood without raising taxes but it decreases the value of individuals’ money assets. For example, take the increased cost of motor fuel which during the general election campaign Obama stated that he would have no problem with gasoline prices reaching $4.00/gallon; this increase is directly attributable to devaluation of the dollar incident to obscene inflationary spending and associated printing by Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration. Well, he has successfully achieved that objective, with prices in many parts of the country over $4.00/gallon. His energy czar stated that U.S. fuel prices should be $10.00/gallon. Obama’s solution: "If you're complaining about the price of gas and you're only getting 8 miles a gallon, you know," "You might want to think about a trade-in." Is this the “Hope and Change” that those lemmings who voted for him expected?
Idealists and others were duped into believing that Obama and his fellow-traveling fifth columnists would work to improve America; WRONG! The present National and International debacle is intentional and brought into being by Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration. It is a clarion call for a better way, a way that leads back to Constitutional principles and liberty, not the perversion thereof and tacit slavery where all but the Chavez, Mubarak, Gadaffi, Reid, Pelosi and Obama personalities would work on the Federal Plantation.

Awesome Israel Fights Back and The Terrorists Hamas Leader Ghazi Hamad Makes Appeal To Israel To Halt Fighting ( LIAR Hamas Must Be Out Of Bombs and Bullets)
Hamas Makes Rare Appeal to Israel to Halt Fighting
JERUSALEM
A senior member of Gaza’s ruling Hamas movement on Sunday made a rare appeal to the Israeli public for a halt to the escalating cross-border fighting, telling an Israeli radio station in fluent Hebrew that Hamas is ready to stop its rocket fire if Israel ends its attacks on Gaza.
As nightfall approached, Gaza militants had fired about 10 rockets and mortar shells at Israel, police said, but Israel had not hit back.
At a late afternoon meeting of Israel’s Security Cabinet, made up of senior ministers, the military was told to “continue to operate against terrorists in order to stop the (rocket) fire on Israel.”
Hamas’ deputy foreign minister, Ghazi Hamad, delivered the message to state-run Israel Radio.
“We are interested in calm but want the Israeli military to stop its operations,” Hamad said in Hebrew.
Hamas refuses to recognize Israel, but Hamad and other leaders of the Islamic militant group learned Hebrew during time spent in Israeli prisons.
Other Hamas officials said they were in touch with mediators in hopes of restoring calm.
Israeli leaders sent mixed messages Sunday.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak said if militants in Hamas-ruled Gaza cease their attacks, so would Israel.
But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took a more combative tack. “If the attacks on Israeli citizens and soldiers continue, the response will be far harsher” than it has been, Netanyahu told his Cabinet

Iran Confirms Factory Producing Centrifuge Parts
Iran confirms factory producing centrifuge parts
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's foreign minister has confirmed claims by an exiled Iranian opposition group that a factory west of Tehran is manufacturing centrifuge parts.
Ali Akbar Salehi, quoted by the state news agency IRNA, says the facility is no secret and that many other facilities in the country are involved in manufacturing parts for Iran's nuclear program.
Iran has long said it produces centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium, a process that the U.N. has demanded Tehran halt.
Two days earlier, the exile Mujahedeen-e Khalq group said its spies identified the factory, called the TABA facility.
Iran says it is building a civilian nuclear power program, but the U.S. and its allies suspect it seeks the capacity to build nuclear bombs.

Sarah Palin Is Asked About Trump and His Obama Birth Certificate Investigation
Sarah Palin on Obama’s Birth Certificate: Obviously There’s Something There… “He Seems to Be Going to Great Lengths to Make Sure It Isn’t Shown”
Sarah Palin on Donald Trump’s birth certificate investigation:
Sarah Palin was interviewed live today on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, and was asked to weigh in on the rather sudden addition of Donald Trump’s voice to the “Birther movement“, as well as the money “The Donald” is devoting to researching the existence of the president’s birth certificate. Palin’s answer? She noted it wasn’t that unthinkable for Trump to be curious about Obama’s birth certificate, as it was an issue that has transfixed a sizable segment of the body politic.
She expressed hope that perhaps Trump’s piles of money would be the key ingredient missing from prior investigations of the President’s birthplace; Orly Taitz, despite having about 10 jobs, doesn’t have a hotel in New York City —know what I mean? Palin also expressed hope that Trump’s money and resources could counter the $2 million she claims Obama has spent to keep the certificate hidden from the public. Her attitude suggested a quiet, but not overt, encouragement of Trump’s investigation.
Jeanine switched gears, asking Palin what she personally thought of the controversy surrounding Obama’s American citizenship. Again, her answer was shrewd. “I believe he was born in Hawaii,” she stated, citing the announcement of his birth in the paper. Leading with this response was smart.
Palin also adding that the president’s decision not to release his birth certificate was “perplexing.”

Rep. Allen West will vote no on budget deal
Rep. Allen West is against the bipartisan budget deal between Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the Obama administration.
West (R-Fla.) told The Hill that $39 billion in cuts is insufficient. Asked whether he was pleased with the agreement on policy riders, West responded, "It's all about the money."
West, a freshman who is popular with the Tea Party, said he is a firm "no" on the measure, which will be voted on next week.

al-Qaeda's Man in the White House Dictator Obama ~ EPA Was Rebuffed and Obama's Baby Killing Machine Planned Parenthood was Sidetracked!
A temporary deal has been reached to avoid a Government Shutdown by passing a continuing resolution until a final agreement can be passed for the 2011 Budget next week:
Obama took credit for the talks tonight that averted a government shutdown.
He also lectured America on “living within our means.”
CNN
“Like any worthwhile compromise, both sides had to make tough decisions and give ground on issues that were important to them,” Obama said before cameras in the White House Blue Room as he acknowledged some of the cuts agreed to would be painful, with certain programs cut back and other projects encountering delays. “But beginning to live within our means is the only way to protect those investments that will help America compete for new jobs,”
Obama didn’t want to cut a dime from the budget that he increased by a trillion dollars in the last three years.
Congress Strikes a Budget Deal to Avert Shutdown, Cutting $38.5B
Senate Passes Short-Term Funding Deal to Avert Shutdown.
House members were called into session tonight to vote on the Short Term Funding bill to keep the federal machinery running for the next several days.
They reportedly agreed to cut about $38 billion in federal spending.
Republican attempts to curtail the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency were rebuffed.
Attempts to deny federal funds to Planned Parenthood were sidetracked.
However, anti-abortion lawmakers did succeed in winning a provision to ban the use of federal or local government funds to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia.
The House passed the short term funding bill 347-70.
UPDATE:
Some facts are being revealed slowly – more victories:
“The House got an agreement out of Harry Reid and the White House to prohibit taxpayer funding for abortions in the District of Columbia, and to allow a vote in the Senate over Planned Parenthood funding (and Obamacare).”
Fox just reported, one of the things agreed to, a stand alone vote on ObamaCare in the Senate. Boehner got the dems to agree to this with 23 senate dems up for reelection next year?
.
Wiild Thing's comment........
BIG disappointment and that is mild as to how I feel about this. Boehner was sent up against obama, Reid and the rest of the dems and the rinos. He was not the man for the job that needed a warrior, he needed to be a man with a take no prisoner at heart attitude. Boehner is not a warrior. We are 1/3 of 1/3 of the elected in Washington. Those odds call for someone that can take on a platoon of the enemy and wipe them out , not one measily moving target.
And because of obama, America has abandoned Israel, abandoned the Constitution, and dems keep having bigger wins then Republicans and it is the Republicans whose win would be best for America.
The Democratic Party has spent years, and millions of dollars indoctrinating and aligning people in support of their “progressive” agenda. This did not happen over night so I am trying as best I can at being realistic about all of this. BUT I am nontheless disappointed.
I did peek over at KOS and they are totally upset at the vote and what was done by the democrats. So there is a small victory in that I suppose.
This was a battle with people who will literally do anything to destroy this country, its constitution and its moral principles based on the Natural Law, God. Obama can’t even use the word “God” when quoting the pledge or the constitution.
Boehner, Ryan and Cantor started at $61 Bil in cuts.
Reid and the Dem’s started at $0 cuts, then $30 Bil and them finally ended up at $39.5 in cuts.
Did the Republicans have and then relinquish the power to stop this in its tracks? – YES
Was Obamacare repealed or defunded? – NO (Major Dem talking point)
Was Planned Parenthood defunded? – NO (Major Dem talking point)
Was NPR defunded? – NO (Minor Dem talking point)
What, if any, cuts were made to programs run by ACORN or its recently formed spin-offs? – TBD, but I’m guessing “NO”.
So how do we consider $38B in cuts to a 2011 budget that was inflated by almost $1T in 2010 an “win”?
GET RID OF OBAMACARE DEFUND THE VILE THING!!!!

Obama's $20 Million American Government Grant Goes to Produce Pakistani Sesame Street
$20 million USAID grant goes to produce Pakistani Sesame Street
As American politicians debate the possible de-funding of American public broadcasting, the U.S. government is spending big bucks to bolster entertainment in foreign countries.
USAID has dedicated $20 million to remake “Sesame Street” for Pakistani children. The four-year series will feature 78 episodes in Urdu and 56 in other local languages. The show, called “SimSim Humara,” will be set in a bustling village.
According to a report in The Guardian, the show aims to have “strong female characters and carry an implicit message of tolerance but will feature no pro-American propaganda or overt challenge to hardline religious sentiment.”
The Guardian reports that civilian foreign aid to Pakistan is at $1.5 billion a year, having been tripled by the Obama administration.
Larry Dolan, USAID’s Director of Education for Pakistan, told The Guardian, “Teaching kids early on makes them much more successful when they get to school. And this programme will have the capacity to encourage tolerance, which is so key to what we’re trying to do here.”
Dolan continued, “In terms of bang for the buck, reaching 95 million people is pretty important. This is much more than a TV programme, far more ambitious than a Sesame Street series.”

DEMOCRAT Jim Moran to Veteran: Sit Down or Leave
At a town hall meeting the other day, a man who identified himself as a 27-year veteran takes exception to Democrat Rep. Jim Moran’s characterization of his question as “caustic.” Moran angrily responded, “I’m sure you do” and then proceeded to order the 27-year veteran to “sit down” or “leave.”
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) held a town hall meeting on April 7 about the possibility of a government shutdown. During the event, a veteran stood up and questioned him why he isn’t in Congress right now working out a deal so the troops can get funding. Moran began answering the mans questioned then got testy and told him to sit down or leave.
Moran has a history of anger issues. For example, in 2000 Moran stooped as low to accuse an 8-year boy, who was a straight-A student, of trying to steal his car. During the incident, Moran began choking and cursing at him. He later said the boy claimed he had a gun on him. He didn’t. The child also told the police he was just admiring his car.

People should have started standing up in turn and asking the asshole the question: “Why don’t you answer his question?”. It would have sent him into total meltdown.
And don’t forget the beating-his-wife-on-the-front-lawn incident. How this Moron keeps getting elected I’ve never understood.

Baby Killers Planned Parenthood Spent More Than $1 Million Electing Democrats Last Cycle ~ Defund Planned Parenthood now!
Investigation of medical lies and manipulation at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin
And this is the sort of routine counseling going on at Planned Parenthood.
Here’s something to keep in mind as Democrats risk a government shutdown in order to preserve federal subsidies of Planned Parenthood. From the Center for Responsive Politics:
In 2010, Planned Parenthood and a California affiliate together spent more than $700,000 on federal lobbying efforts, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal lobbying records finds. By comparison, all other organizations that primarily advocate for abortion rights collectively spent $247,280 on federal lobbying efforts during the same period, according to the Center’s research.
Planned Parenthood’s political influence efforts hardly stop at lobbying.
The organization’s political action committee, for example, donated more than $148,000 to federal candidates — almost all Democrats — during the 2010 election cycle. The PAC spent more than $443,000 overall.
Planned Parenthood also recorded $905,796 in independent expenditures during the 2010 cycle — money spent in support of, or in opposition to, federal political candidates, largely through advertisements. The top beneficiaries of this money were Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
Source: Live Action
In the year 2007, Planned Parenthood made only 4,912 adoption referrals yet performed 305,310 abortions.
And that doesn't include the 1,423,365 emergency contraception kits (would that include both Plan B and RU-486?) that PP issued in 2007 -- additional abortions, regardless of the semantics.

Two George Soros ( Obama's Owner) Events Aim to Remake the Financial Order and the Media -- So Where's the Reporting? ~ If You Love America READ This Write Up
Two George Soros Events Aim to Remake the Financial Order and the Media -- So Where's the Reporting?
Article By Dan Gainor is the Boone Pickens Fellow and the Media Research Center’s Vice President for Business and Culture. He writes frequently for Fox News Opinion. He can also be contacted on FaceBook and Twitter as dangainor.
Apparently, megalomaniacs need schedulers.
Just ask George Soros. The left-wing billionaire is helping fund two major conferences that start on the same day, in two different locations just a three hours apart by car. Two liberal events packed into one long weekend. God created the world in six days. Apparently, Soros, who sees himself as “some kind of god,”needs just a long weekend to start remaking today's world in his image.
The emphasis of both conferences is a familiar one to American voters – change. Soros wants to begin changing the global economy in one event. In the other, his flunkies want to “Change the world. Change the media.”Now that is change you can believe in. Sadly, those who actually report the news must believe in it because they sure as heck aren’t reporting on Soros or either event. And that’s even though staffers or even executives from Reuters, the Financial Times, NPR, PBS, The Washington Post and other major media outlets are speaking at one event or the other.
The first gathering in Bretton Woods, N.H., is an economic conference Soros once described as “a grand bargain that rearranges the entire financial order.” In October 2009, Soros committed $50 million to the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET). A week later, the glib lefty investor wrote a column calling for a new Bretton Woods event, to recreate the one that helped design the post-WWII economy. Only he wants this one to knock America down a peg or three.
Now, it's been a little over a year later and the group he funded is making King George’s wish come true – bringing together a whole slew of important people to discuss how to change the global economy. In Soros speak, that means “establish new international rules” and “reform the currency system.”
The announced speakers include a lot of prominent lefties, globalists and economists on the board of the organization he has throwing the event – more than two-thirds of the overall total have ties to Soros. To underscore their connection to history, INET is hosting the conference at the Mount Washington Resort, the very same hotel that held the first gathering.
INET Executive Robert Johnson defended his event in a March 31 interview with Lou Dobbs. Johnson, a former managing director at Soros Fund Management, who is on the Board of Directors for the Soros-funded Economic Policy Institute, avoided saying “Soros” despite Dobbs mentioning Johnson’s boss several times. In his last response, he tried to rationalize the Soros connection, by saying “I have a group of funders including George Soros.” With $50 million, Soros alone makes a pretty big group. Of course, Soros will also be speaking in Bretton Woods about “The Emerging Economic and Political Order.”
Just down the road in Boston, a Soros-funded media conference is trying to manipulate that emerging order as well. Close to 350 left-wingers from a variety of organizations are gathering there for the National Conference for Media Reform.
That “change the world” conference includes two commissioners from the FCC, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Bernie Sanders, four Democratic representatives, the head of Columbia University, and assorted left-wing journalist types, from Salon’s Glenn Greenwald to disgraced former MSNBC host David Shuster, who now works for a Soros-funded investigative operation.
The rest of the list reads like a "Who’s Who" of left-wing organizations and talking heads, including the president of PBS, a senior vice president with American Public Media, an Al Jazeera English executive, the president of the Newspaper Guild – CWA and Washington Post columnist Rob Pegoraro. Many others have Soros connections, such as:
Common Cause, which has been going after conservative Supreme Court justices who have some connection to the Koch brothers. Common Cause seems immune to similar investigations of their own gravy train.
Columbia Journalism Review’s Dean Starkman. He is chief of the review’s “The Audit” section and a 2006 Katrina Media Fellow with the Open Society Institute, the primary Soros charitable foundation.
Free Press, which is holding the conference. Free Press has received more than $1 million from Soros since 2003 and has 18 presenters pushing for things like “strong public media” or an extremely expensive national broadband plan they quaintly describe as “universal access to communications.”
Think Progress’s Koch-hating Lee Fang. Think Progress is a project of Democrat John Podesta’s Center for American Progress, which was founded with Soros money. Fang is on the panel for: “Real Issues vs. Astroturf: Confronting the Koch Brothers,” and makes the laughable claim “this is not about liberals versus conservatives” when the entire goal of the left is to shut down the Kochs to defund the right.
Everywhere you they go in Boston, they’ll be making more left turns than NASCAR. It’s an event filled with lefties dissatisfied that the news media aren’t even more liberal, and their goal will be to make that happen. Whether it’s “Beyond Pronouns: Creating Real Stories About Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People” or pushing for illegal immigrant rights, the conference is a predictable liberal take on pretty much everything.
But the over-arching theme is getting government to fix the media. Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, whose school also includes the well-known and partly Soros-funded Columbia School of Journalism, is one of several speakers advocating for increased government funding for media. He called for federal funding of the media in a 2010 Wall Street Journal piece with the terrifying headline: “Journalism Needs Government Help.” Bollinger pushed for the creation of a public media that combines NPR, PBS and Voice of America. He also wants to “end to the regulation of ‘indecent’ language and images in broadcast programming” and return to the Fairness Doctrine.
Two other speakers, Free Press founder Robert McChesney and co-author John Nichols, have been pushing for $35 billion a year to fund media. Though their solution has gone from $20 billion a year for three years to $35 billion indefinitely, they are consistent in wanting U.S. media to be more like it is in Europe and oppose the “fantasy of a free-market solution.”
That’s not surprising. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who is speaking at both conferences, is wildly critical of people who support free markets, or what he calls “free market fundamentalists.” Free markets are directly in opposition with the Soros-funded group think that sees Big Government as merely a starting point for Ever Bigger Government.
This weekend, we get two visions of taxpayer-funded solution, only most in the news media are too short-sighted to see them.

Will a Mossad agent please pick up the white courtesy phone!
These Soros meetings are there to acclimate the public to the NWO economic system. The infrastructure for it has been planned and built up for years. This unveiling of it is to coincide with the planned destruction of the US dollar and the American economy.
When the roaches are coming out into the light you know the infestation has reached a saturation point.
Their little problem in knocking off America is that there is nobody else to replace America.
History has shown us that the public will not rise up against the overbearing and overstepping ruling class until conditions are completely unbearable. Great civilizations have fallen time after time for the same basic reasons, but this time it's the entire globe at stake.
My point is that people have always had to actually experience the reign of oppression before they realize that those who have had power over them had no concern for their welfare. They believed in their leaders until it was too late. They had to be stripped of their liberties, driven into poverty and subjugated under a crushing leadership before rising up to take back their humanity.
Soros and those like him are winning. The subservient "workers" and media to these globalists plans don't realize they are digging their own grave, and taking us down with them.

Obama Threatens to Veto Troop Funding Bill
White House Threatens to Veto Troop Funding Bill
Obama< ( The White House) issued a veto threat on a bill that would keep the government from shutting down, without stating a single policy justification for its threatened veto. Since there are no policy reasons given for this veto threat, one can only conclude that the motivation is political: they want a government shutdown, because they believe Republicans will be blamed.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
April 7, 2011
(House)
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H.R. 1363 – Department of Defense and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011
(Rep. Rogers, R-Kentucky)
The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. As the President stated on April 5, 2011, if negotiations are making significant progress, the Administration would support a short-term, clean Continuing Resolution to allow for enactment of a final bill.
For the past several weeks, the Administration has worked diligently and in good faith to find common ground on the shared goal of cutting spending. After giving the Congress more time by signing short-term extensions into law, the President believes that we need to put politics aside and work out our differences for a bill that covers the rest of the fiscal year. This bill is a distraction from the real work that would bring us closer to a reasonable compromise for funding the remainder of Fiscal Year 2011 and avert a disruptive Federal Government shutdown that would put the Nation’s economic recovery in jeopardy. The Administration will continue to work with the Congress to arrive at a compromise that will fund the Government for the remainder of the fiscal year in a way that does not undermine future growth and job creation and that averts a costly Government shutdown. It is critical that the Congress send a final bill to the President’s desk that provides certainty to our men and women in military uniform, their families, small businesses, homeowners, taxpayers, and all Americans. H.R. 1363 simply delays that critical final outcome.
If presented with this bill, the President will veto it.

He wants his abortion funding, and his EPA funding to kill more jobs and finish off the economy. If he doesn't get his way, like the whiny jerk he is, then he will starve our troops.
This moron of a president would not go outside without his pants on, but he asking our troops to stop defending the sites they are stationed at! They should do just that and show the moron what happens when you stop paying people for their sevices. They are underpaid as it is.
It is NOT the republicans shutting down anything, but forcing the democrats to STOP ruining whats left of our republic nation.

Eric Cantor: We Will Not Leave Town Until We Cut Spending & Get Our Fiscal House In Order
Eric Cantor: We Will Not Leave Town Until We Cut Spending & Get Our Fiscal House In Order
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor promised the American people yesterday:
“We will not leave town until we cut spending and get our fiscal house in order.”
The Republicans gave him a standing ovation. The democrats sat on their fannies.
Boehner: 'Far more than one provision' holding up agreement
Meanwhile, the House planned to move forward Thursday with a bill extending funding for one week and financing the military for a year. The legislation, which also includes an abortion restriction for the District of Columbia, is designed to pressure Senate Democrats. “There is no policy reason for the Senate to oppose this,” Boehner said. Republicans have dubbed the measure a “troop funding bill,” and the Speaker cited the U.S. involvement in “a third war” in Libya as a reason to pass it.
Obama on Thursday afternoon threatened to veto it. ( Please see my other post about this and what obama is doing ~ Wild Thing ) The sharp rhetoric earlier Thursday contrasted with a sense Wednesday night that the two sides were making slow progress toward a deal. Boehner and Reid made a joint appearance following a White House meeting in which they emphasized their desire to avoid a government shutdown.
They also said their staffs would work through the night in continued talks.
Reid said negotiators have basically agreed to the total level of cuts for the rest of fiscal 2011 but strong disagreement remains over controversial policy riders.
“The numbers are basically there,” Reid said. “But I’m not nearly as optimistic — and that’s an understatement — as I was 11 hours ago. The numbers are extremely close. Our differences are no longer over how much savings we get on government spending.
“The only thing holding up an agreement is an ideology,” Reid told the Senate’s presiding chair. “I’m sorry to say, Mr. President, my friend the Speaker and the Republican leadership have drawn a line in the sand, not dealing with a deficit we know we have to deal with.
“The two main issues holding this matter up are the choice of women, reproductive rights, and clean air,” Reid said. “These matters have no place in a budget bill.”
Reid said the president and Democratic leaders would not give any more ground in the talks.
“We have given everything that we can give,” he said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) responded immediately by blaming Senate Democrats for the impasse.
“This bill does everything Democrats have previously said they want. It cuts Washington spending by an amount that Democrat leaders believe is reasonable. The policy prescriptions it contains have been previously agreed to by Democrat leaders and signed by the president. And, most importantly, this is the only proposal out there that keeps the government open," he said, according to prepared remarks released by his office.
He pointed out that Democrats haven't released a plan to keep the government running.
"Since they have produced no alternative to the bill that the House is sending over today, this is the only proposal currently on the table that will keep the government open," he said.
“In other words, if a shutdown does occur, our Democrat friends have no one to blame but themselves — because they have done nothing whatsoever to prevent it," he added. "So rather than talking about a shutdown, I hope our Democrat friends join us in actually preventing one. There is one way to do that — by quickly passing the House bill and sending it to the president for his signature before tomorrow night.” Reid on Thursday said the House one-week measure, which Boehner described as a "reasonable troop funding" bill, would not pass the Senate.
“The House is now going to pass a short-term stopgap, it’s a non-starter over here,” Reid said. “Doing that is an assured way to close the government. There are no more short-term extensions.”
Reid said he could agree to a short-term measure to keep government operating as long as it did not include controversial policy riders.
“We’ll be happy to do a clean CR, one that will allow us to work out the details of an agreement,” Reid told reporters Thursday afternoon in reference to a continuing resolution to extend funding.
Senate Democratic Policy Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) dismissed a question about the possibility of the Senate amending the House's one-week stopgap and putting the ball back in Boehner’s court.
“Our focus right now is to try and get a deal because this short-term, short-term, short-term doesn’t work,” he said “Let’s wait and see what happens at the [1 p.m.] White House meeting.”
In his own floor remarks on Thursday, Boehner rejected assertions that the House bill is bound to go nowhere.
"There's no policy reason for the Senate to oppose this responsible troop funding bill that keeps the government running," he said. "It reflects a bicameral, bipartisan agreement that was reached in December regarding the troop funding bill, and no Senator has objected to the policy in this bill."
Boehner added that "no one" wants a government shutdown, and called on the Senate to "follow the House in taking these responsible steps to support our troops and keep our government open."
Obama, in a rare late-night appearance in the White House briefing room Wednesday, said it would "inexcusable" to shut down the government over political issues.

GOP Sen. Mike Lee Suggests President Obama May Have Maliciously Planned Government Shutdown
GOP Sen. Mike Lee saying that President Obama had control of both Houses of Congress in 2010 and never moved to pass a 2011 Budget.

FAA Sets Up No-fly Zone for Obama's Planned Trip to Williamsburg
With the government shutdown looming… Obama plans his weekend getaway.
The leader of the free world may be coming to Williamsburg for some rest and relaxation if Congress is able to come to agreement on the budget. President Obama and the First Family are planning to visit the area this weekend in what the White House described Wednesday as a “long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg.”
But the trip might get grounded if a government shutdown can’t be averted by Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
On Thursday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration established a no-fly zone over Williamsburg that will be in place from Friday through Monday. Jessica Wharton, spokeswoman for the Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport, said the no-fly zone will not affect the arrival and departure times at the airport for this weekend.
Wild Thing's comment......
"no-fly zone for Obama’s planned trip to Williamsburg "
So, does that mean they’re gonna bombard Williamsburg with ‘humanitarian Tomahawks’, and bomb and strafe random civilians, like they did with their most recent ‘no fly zone’???
Williamsburg is a historical place to visit too bad obama hates America and anything he does there if he does go will only be for a photo op.
When I stayed there I rode a rented bicycle around Williamsburg and also took some of the tours they had. It was so interesting the history and what it meant to our country.
I keep seeing how obama drops bombshells and then leaves town, or how he does something major to tick us all of and then once again leaves town. He could care less how upset people are at what he does. His hate for our country is with every breath he takes. How many vacations has this illegal alien gone on at our expense?

Video from Newsmax:Donald Trump says he himself has one, and everyone he knows has one, but no one has seen President Barack Obama's birth certificate. Obama's failure to produce one falls short of his promise to be transparent, Trump tells Newsmax in an exclusive video interview. As far as other issues, America is "going to hell in a handbasket," Trump says.

From the Nightly News. Brian William plays a clip of the Trump interview with Meredith Vieira
Trump on Obama: "3 Weeks Ago I Thought He Was Born in This Country, Right Now I Have Some Real Doubts"
TRUMP: "He spent $2 million in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. and if he weren't lying, why wouldn't he just solve it? and I wish he would, because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period.
You are not allowed to be president if you weren't born in this country. He may not have been born in this country. Three weeks ago I thought he was, right now I have some doubts"
Trump: I Have Investigators in Hawaii...'They Cannot Believe What They're Finding'
Trump tells “Today” he has people in the Aloha State conducting on-the-ground research into the president’s birthplace.
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
So, is the time right now for you?
DONALD TRUMP:
Well, the time certainly is right. We’re a laughing stock as a country throughout the world. We’re being taken advantage of by other countries
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
If you were President, would keep a military presence in Iraq indefinitely.
DONALD TRUMP:
Let me just say something. There’s nobody more militaristic than me, but it’s also called attack the right target. Iran is going to take over Iraq, because we have de-neutered Iraq, you know that, in terms of their military. They’re gonna take them over very quickly as soon as we leave. If that’s gonna happen, they’re gonna take over the oil fields. The second biggest oil fields in the world. And if that’s gonna happen, I say we take over the oil fields…I would take over the oil fields, because otherwise, Iran is gonna take over the second biggest oil fields in the world. I would absolutely, without question, not leave that section of that country. I would take the oil. To the victor belong the spoils. You know, in the old days, you’d have a war. And you’d be in there. And you’d win. And you’d take over the country. Whether it’s oil or gold or whatever. You take over the country.
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
Okay. Are you saying if you were President, you would take us out of Afghanistan?
DONALD TRUMP:
Well, nothing’s simple. Because I don’t believe in foot soldiers. They get blown up on streets. But I do believe in airplanes that are 50,000 feet up. And when we see through intelligence what’s going on, knock the hell out. Oh, by the way, I’m much more militaristic than Obama. He got the Nobel Peace Prize, but, you know, I think they’re probably rethinking that one, every time he seizes a country. The problem is he seizes countries, but he doesn’t win….I’m not gonna have soldiers walking down on the street and get blown up and get shot at by snipers and killed, so we have to call the parents and say, "Your son was just killed on a street in Afghanistan." But those people will have a lot more problems with me than they’re having right now. But I do it through the air and we’re not gonna have casualties.
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
Do you think given all the issues that this country is facing that this is something that resonates with the public? That they care about this?
DONALD TRUMP:
The Constitution of the United States…great document. And you agree with it?
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
Yeah, sure.
DONALD TRUMP:
It says you have to be born in this country. Essential. Have to be born in this country, okay? If he wasn’t born in this country, he has conned the whole world.
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
But you’re saying it’s a con. That’s what you’re saying.
DONALD TRUMP:
I’m not saying anything. I’m saying--
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
Sure you are.
DONALD TRUMP:
I am saying I want to see the birth certificate. It’s very simple. I want to see the birth certificate. How come his own family doesn’t know which hospital he was born in? How come-- forget about birth certificates. Let’s say there’s no birth certificate. How come in the hospital itself, okay? This is one of the…in the hospital itself, there’s no records of his birth. In other words, it doesn’t say how much they paid, where is the doctor, here’s your room bill. You know, all the
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
You’ve been privy to all of this to know this?
DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re talking.
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
You have people now out there searching-- I mean, in Hawaii?
DONALD TRUMP:
Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they’re finding. And I’m serious--
MEREDITH VIERA:
You criticized Obama quite a bit in this interview and in the past. What do you think he has done well?
DONALD TRUMP:
I think the thing that he did best of all, is get elected. Get elected. He ran an unbelievable campaign although, in the end, Hillary was beating him in every state. It was pretty-- I mean, by the end, I think people were maybe getting wise. And, you have to understand, I want Obama to do well. I don't dislike him. I never met him….
If I had my choice of having Obama do great as a president, and do a really great job for this country, and not running, as opposed to running - I'd prefer that he did a great job. I love this country. But, this country is going to hell.
MEREDITH VIERA:
Among those potential Republican candidates, can you point to any of them and say, "That person would be a fine president"?
DONALD TRUMP:
Well, you know, it's funny. They've all treated me so nicely. They've been so great… I'm not gonna go on any individual, but I will tell you I understand them. I know many of them…
I know this. I will be better than anybody. I will do the best job. If I decide to run, I will do the best job. I will be best for this country. And, you may say, "Oh, gee, that doesn't sound like George Washington." Well, guess what? Before George Washington ran, he didn't sound like George Washington either. I will be and do a great job, if I run and if I win.

Wild Thing's comment........
Interesdting to note, MSNBC website is headlining this interview with Meredith Viera to be aired today. Trump draws viewers, and the Obama media pays attention to that, regardless of ideology.
No one can buy the Donald. Iit would have to be a physical threat that would make him be silent I would think. Also he has more than enough assets and people bound to him to do a thorough investigation.
My guess is Trump had information about the BC before he started to raise the issue in the media. He is a showman and that’s what a good showman would do.
Its going to be interesting to see what happens.
I hope some of the other candidates realize that this Constitutional eligibility issue is a fundamental one, and one that resonates with the base.

Senate Democrats Defeat GOP Efforts to Block the EPA (and Obama) From Destroying Our Country
Statement of Purpose: To prohibit the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency from promulgating any regulation concerning, taking action relating to, or taking into consideration the emission of a greenhouse gas to address climate change.
Vote Counts: YEAs 50 ........ NAYs 50
Senate Democrats defeated a Republican effort to block the EPA from destroying American industry. All but 4 democrats voted in favor of industry-crippling regulations that will obliterate US manufacturing.
Here is the ROLL CALL List of names and the State they are from.
Senate Democrats have defeated a Republican effort to ban the Environmental Protection Agency from controlling the gases blamed for global warming.
In a 50-50 vote, the Senate rejected a measure by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma. It would have repealed a 2009 finding by federal scientists that climate change caused by greenhouse gases endangers human health and prevented the agency from using existing law to regulate them. The amendment – to a small business bill – needed 60 votes to pass.
The Republican-controlled House is expected to pass an identical bill later Wednesday. The White House has threatened to veto it
Wild Thing's comment........
On Tuesday Obamoa issued a formal statement opposing a bill and said he would veto it if they did not vote how he wanted it to go. Pressure much??!! ..... to more of the dems that might have voted with the Republicans. Obama wants this EPA bullcrap so he can control our lives more and more. That is his dream and our nightmare.
The dems in the Senate have declared economic war on the citizens of the United States.
Once the Dems destroy manufacturing & the energy industies for good, they’ll regulate farming to its death as well.
We’ll then have to get on boats & go find a new land....or get rid of democrats. Do the terrorists have a hot line???? Just kidding.....sort of. No just kidding. wait are my fingers crossed?
The other day we were eating out and I said something like I wished the terrorists would bomb the democrats and as soon as I said it the couple at the table next to us put their thumbs up and the man said, we agree and we can always rebuild. His wife said, we feel the same way. LOL

Obama Friend Arrested In Hawaii for Soliciting Prostitute
Barack Obama, right, laughs with Bobby Titcomb on the 18th green as they play golf at Mid Pacific Country Club in Kailua, Hawaii. Honolulu police say Titcomb was one of four men arrested in an undercover prostitution sting operation late Monday, April 4, 2011, and released on $500 bail. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

The presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., second from right, walks with Bobby Titcomb, second from left, and Greg Orme right after throwing a lei in the Pacific Ocean at the point where he scattered his mother's ashes in Honolulu, Hawaii, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2008. Sen. Obama is in Hawaii for a vacation.
.
One of President Barack Obama's close friends has been arrested in Honolulu on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute. Honolulu police say Robert "Bobby" Titcomb was one of four men arrested in an undercover sting operation late Monday and released on $500 bail.
Robert Richard "Bobby" Titcomb, 49, is scheduled to appear at Honolulu District Court next month, after he allegedly solicited sex from an undercover officer posing as a prostitute.
The 49-year-old Titcomb attended Punahou School in Honolulu with Obama. The two often golf, play basketball, go to the beach and dine together when the president returns home to Hawaii for vacation. Obama's family has also attended barbeques at Titcomb's beachside home in Waialua.
Titcomb and Obama last spent time together in Hawaii during Obama's most recent vacation over the Christmas and New Year's holidays. The White House had no comment. Titcomb has not publicly responded to the charges, and he wasn't immediately available for comment
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Is it time for another beer summit? Is obama going to critize Honolulu PD?
Here is something about his friend.....
"I could see he was bound for bigger things," said longtime friend, classmate and football teammate Bobby Titcomb. "He looked at the world more globally than the rest of us. There was something driven about him. "But he also played basketball, tennis and hung out at the beach with the rest of us." Titcomb, 42, now a commercial fisherman and Northwest Airlines flight attendant living in Kailua, remembers visiting Obama in Chicago shortly after his friend had moved there. Obama declined Star-Bulletin requests to interview him about his Hawaii years.

We Will Never Forget Our Veterans!
Veterans Day Tribute
Wild Thing's comment........
I love when we go out and often run into someone we have never met that is a Veteran. Where we live here in Sarasota there are many Vetrans since so many come here to retire. A couple of days ago a couple of tables over from us a man was sitting with his wife and he was wearing a baseball cap with WW11 on it and it gave me a chance to just stop by the table and thank him.
And yesterday it happened again, the man yesterday had a t-shirt on for the Marine Corps. The shirt said, "one shot one kill no remorse." I loved it and it was especially neat because I have a dog tag on my key chain that says exactly the same thing. I showed it to him and thanked him and we bought his lunch. He said he had been a Marine for 239 years and loved it.
What an honor it is to meet these Veterans, a special moment in a person's life to be able to thank them.
Thank you Veterans!!!!!!
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Liberal PBS Reporter Judy Woodruff Interviews Rep. Paul Ryan on Proposed Cuts: 'Our Budget Literally Pays Off the Debt'
GOP Rep. Paul Ryan talking with PBS reporter Judy Woodruff about his proposed 2012 Federal Budget that was unveiled yesterday.
This video shows just how effective Paul Ryan is in thinking on his feet and handling the attacks from the Left. Woodruff tries everything she can to make Ryan and the plan look bad. Again and again she asks leading questions designed to cast the plan in a negative light – “So your plan would end Medicare as we know it?” – but Ryan would have none of it. At every point, he was able to refute the insinuations and negative characterizations of what the GOP approach will accomplish.
Ryan flatly told Woodruff that President Obama’s direction for the buget would double the debt by the end of his first term and triple the debt in the following years. In contrast, what he and the GOP are proposing would “literally pay down the debt.” Essentially, the choice being set before the nation is unending, burgeoning debt or solvency.
Paul Ryan is really impressive in both his grasp of the budget issues, and his ability to communicate on the topic in a way that makes sense.
Wild Thing's comment........
We really do have some great people in the Republican party. I pray every day for them to stay strong and know we support their efforts.
We have to get more conservatives elected and then also get rid of the rino's.

I wish him well, he has done a lot and I will always remember how he really had a big part in getting the word out about Van Jones which also got all of us to write letters, etc. and obama was forced to let Van Jones go under his bus. Not that obama replaced him with anyone better, but the point is that our voice was heard.

Obama and His Administration Doing Their Best to Ensure Al-Qaeda’s Success To Be In Power In Yemen
As Yemeni President and American ally Ali Abdullah Saleh fights for his political life, Al Qaeda operatives are taking advantage of the void and have already stepped in to fill the power vacuum.
Al Qaeda leaders like top propagandist and spiritual leader Anwar Al-Awlaki are ecstatic about the recent developments in Yemen and across the Middle East.
Unrest in Yemen Seen as Opening to Qaeda Branch
Counterterrorism operations in Yemen have ground to a halt, allowing Al Qaeda’s deadliest branch outside of Pakistan to operate more freely inside the country and to increase plotting for possible attacks against Europe and the United States, American diplomats, intelligence analysts and counterterrorism officials say.
In the political tumult surrounding Yemen’s embattled president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, many Yemeni troops have abandoned their posts or have been summoned to the capital, Sana, to help support the tottering government, the officials said. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group’s affiliate, has stepped in to fill this power vacuum, and Yemeni security forces have come under increased attacks in recent weeks.
A small but steadily growing stream of al Qaeda fighters and lower-level commanders from other parts of the world, including Pakistan, are making their way to Yemen to join the fight there, although American intelligence officials are divided on whether the political crisis in Yemen is drawing more insurgents than would be traveling there under normal conditions.
Obama Administration officials are doing their best to ensure Al-Qaeda’s success.
The Obama administration is helping to grease the skids for the impending departure of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
While he remains a strong U.S. ally in the war against al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists, Saleh has worn out his welcome with his own people and the State Department can’t afford to prop up a leader opposed to democratic reform.
Yemeni officials say the U.S. is attempting to mediate a smooth exit for Saleh so as not to further destabilize the country, which is in danger of falling into the hands of those supporting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the anti-American organization that’s headquartered in Yemen.
Al Qaeda already declared South Yemen as an Islamic emirate last week.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is the worst and most America hating president and administration in US history. Obama is diabolical.
Nobody would miss Yemen if it disappeared entirely. But while it exists on this planet, it is in a very strategic spot. Al Queda in charge now of the southern end of the Suez Canal. Great!...NOT! And now it will become a haven and homebase for muslim terrorists intent on ending lives of non-muslims around the world.
What is happening in Yemen should be all over the news, people need to know and the help that obama is giving to the terrorists there. It will effect our troops, our country and the rest of the world.
So now, when an extremist in yemen mails a package to a synagog in Chicago, it’ll actually get there and explode.
It is another success for obama. He’s acheiving one goal after another is his effort to take down America.
Impending dollar/economic collapse, check.
Impending energy shortages, check.
Impending loss of superpower status, in progress.
Things are going swimmingly for obama and the worldwide communist movement.
Obama hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. bama is a hate crime foisted upon the USA. obama is the Destroyer.

Japan Defense Minister Kitazawa Thanks USS Ronald Reagan Crew For Relief Efforts
PACIFIC OCEAN (April 4, 2011)
Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, commander of Joint Support Force, Japan Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa, John V. Roos, U.S. Ambassador to Japan arrive aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) to address the ship's crew during an All Hands Call in one of the hangar bays. During the visit Japanese and American officials thanked Ronald Reagan Sailors for relief efforts during Operation Tomodachi. Minister Kitazawa also spoke with members of the Black Knights of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 4 in their ready room. Ronald Reagan is off the coast of Japan to provide disaster relief and humanitarian assistance to Japan as directed in support of Operation Tomodachi. (U.S. Navy video/Released)
Japanese and U.S. military ships and helicopters trolled Japan’s tsunami-ravaged coastline looking for bodies Friday, part of an all-out search that could be the last chance to find those swept out to sea nearly three weeks ago. More than 16,000 are still missing after the disaster, which officials fear may have killed some 25,000 people.
Altogether, 25,000 soldiers, 120 helicopters, and 65 ships will continue searching through Sunday. If U.S. forces spot bodies, they will point them out to the Japanese military rather than trying to retrieve them. So far, more than 11,700 deaths have been confirmed.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Our troops risked a lot in helping Japan, I am proud of them. But I also pray there will not be any health problems from being so near the dangerous areas.

Package Containing Severed Pig's Foot And An Anti-Semitic Note Intercepted on Way to ( R- N.Y.) Rep. Pete King's Office
Washington
A frozen pig's foot and a note laced with anti-Semitic rants were sent to Rep. Peter King's Capitol Hill office, a congressional source familiar with the situation confirmed to CNN Monday.
The source said the note included statements such as "evil Jews will return this hoof to Palestine." Neither King nor his aides have seen the package, the source said, because all mail sent to the U.S. Capitol is now screened and the package was intercepted before it went to his office. King's office was notified Monday afternoon.
There was no direct threat to the congressman and law enforcement officials know who sent the package, the source said.
King - a New York Republican - is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and had already had stepped up security around controversial hearings last month on Muslim radicalization in America. King has had increased security for months while home in his district. Last month King told CNN it was because of "threat assessments" done by law enforcement.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police told CNN: "We have an active open investigation regarding this incident and are working with postal inspectors. I can't confirm the contents of the package"
Who and why the letter was sent can only be speculated. However, with the evidence, it appears that a Muslim person upset with the hearings most likely sent the letter and pig's foot, as pork is forbidden in Islam and is thus considered insulting.
Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), however, sees it differently. "My guess is it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed," he said.
The package, addressed to King, was intercepted before it reached the Representative. The Capital Hill police have promised an "open investigation."
Wild Thing's comment........
“”My guess is it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed,” he said.” He being Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, (who) sees it differently.
OH OK, I guess it is solved then since CAIR tells us all about it.
I would love to see CAIR as well as the UN removed from our country. It would be a dream come true.

France Burka Ban Starts Next Week, Police Told To Start With Tact And Diplomacy
Under the new law, women who wear face-covering Muslim veils in 'public places' in France face being fined £125 or ordered to follow citizenship classes, or both Photo: REUTERS
Police told not to make public unveilings when French burka ban enforced next week
By Henry Samuel
PARIS
Police in France have been instructed to refrain from burka "hunts" or "public unveilings" of women wearing the full Islamic veil when a ban on the garment comes into force next week.
France will become the second country in Europe, after Belgium, to apply the ban, starting April 11.
But officers have been ordered to apply the legislation with tact and diplomacy so as not inflame tensions, interior ministry guidelines leaked to the French press yesterday reveal.
Under the new law, women who wear face-covering Muslim veils, including the niqab and burka, in "public places" in France face being fined £125 or ordered to follow citizenship classes, or both.
The ban encompasses "the street and areas open to the public, as well as cinemas, restaurants, stations, public transport or schools". Veils must also be removed while driving, while crossing borders or taking part in official ceremonies to acquire French nationality.
Husbands and fathers who force such veils on women and girls risk a year of prison and a £25,000 fine, with both penalties doubled if the victim is a minor.
But a nine-page document signed by Claude Guéant, the interior minister, stipulates that women wearing the full veil cannot be forcibly obliged to remove them in public.
Officers who stop a woman wearing the garment must instead "invite the person to show their face in order to check their identity and establish a fine."
If the woman persists, officers are instructed to take her to the nearest police station "as a last resort," but not to either place her in custody or keep her waiting for more than four hours.
If she still refuses to comply, the rules state that police should contact the public prosecutor.
Rather than force, police are invited to employ "persuasion" and, where possible, involve a female officer.
The guidelines emphasise that the full veil ban does not apply in the home or to car passengers. Nor is the ban to be enforced in or around mosques, so as not to be "interpreted as an indirect restriction of religious freedom."
The law to "forbid concealing one's face in public" was voted through last October after a year of heated national debate over the issue. Nine out of ten French people back it, a recent poll suggested.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has already described the burka as a "sign of debasement", and women's rights campaigners denounced it as "a walking coffin".
Michele Alliot-Marie, the former interior minister, said it "cuts [women] off from society and rejects the very spirit of the French republic, founded on a desire to live together."
Around 2,000 women, out of France's 5 million Muslims, are estimated to wear the face-covering garments, according to interior ministry figures.
France had already banned wearing conspicuous religious symbols such as veils, Jewish skullcaps and crucifixes in schools in 2004.
The guidelines came as France's right-wing UMP party is to hold a highly controversial debate today on Islam and secularism.
Organisers say it will address changes in French society such as a growing demand for building mosques in a country where a 1905 law formally separates the Church and state.
Halal food in school cafeterias or demands for women's hours at public swimming pools are also up for discussion.
Critics have denounced the debate as a divisive ploy to lure voters away from the far-Right National Front, which made significant gains in local elections last month and whose new leader, Marine Le Pen is gaining in popularity. It has split the Right, with François Fillon, the prime minister already declaring he will not take part.
France's top religious leaders issued a joint statement last week saying the debate could add "to the confusion in the troubled period we are traversing."
Wild Thing's comment........
I had only heard that France had passed this new law, I didn't know that Belgium had done it first.
It says that 9 out of 10 of the population voted for this, so I also think it is good to start like it says with tact and take it a little slow to begin with. I remember when the seat belt law went into effect when we lived in Calif. most of the time for several months the police only gave warnings to people instead of fines. It was kind of left up to the police man and the person not following the law. Changes take time and these women imo might even be beat by their husbands along with everything else. BUT I am glad they passed this law, and it might go further and maybe they will crack down on the mosgues being built as well.

AG Eric Holder at his presser today says he stands by his previous decision of having a trial in federal court but he had to do this because of Congress
Holder Blames Congress for Forcing Hand on Military Commissions for 9/11 Detainees
The mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the U.S. will be referred to the Defense Department for trial, two sources familiar with the case told Fox News on Monday.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, who has been incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006, after being captured in Pakistan in 2003, and his alleged Sept. 11 co-conspirators will face prosecution by a military commission, the source said.
An announcement is expected by Attorney General Eric Holder later in the day. The decision is a turn-around after Holder said in November 2009 that he had decided the conspirators should be prosecuted in civilian court.
Congress tied the Obama administration's hands in trying the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and his accomplices, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday, announcing that he was left without a choice and has referred the cases to the Defense Department for trial.
In stark language, Holder lambasted Congress for imposing restrictions blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S., saying that the "unwise and unwarranted restrictions" undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts.
Expressing his disappointment in no uncertain terms, the attorney general said that as a native New Yorker, he knows as well as anyone the federal court's capacity to try the suspects. He added that he's intimately familiar with the cases, much moreso than congressional members -- or the public -- who opposed allowing the cases to be held in the United States.
"Do I know better than them? Yes. I respect their ability to disagree but they should respect that this is an executive branch function, a unique executive branch function," Holder said in a press conference.
The other terror suspects are Walid Muhammed Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, Ramzi Bin Al Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed Al Hawsawi. The five detainees are accused of killing 2,976 people -- all named in an 81-page indictment dismissed and unsealed Monday by a federal judge.
"Because a timely prosecution in federal court does not appear feasible, the attorney general intends to refer this matter to the Department of Defense to proceed in military commissions," reads the order to dismiss signed by U.S. District Judge Kevin Duffy.
Father of 9/11 Hero's Powerful Reaction to AG Holder's Announcement on Military Tribunals
"I am frankly shocked by the attorney general's comments," said David Beamer, the father of Todd Beamer, who is credited with preventing United Flight 93 from hitting its target. The plane instead crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa.
“I am thankful that there are three branches of government. Because the last thing I want to see, or even contemplate, is KSM returning to New York City in a civilian trial where he would have an opportunity to continue his jihad by condemning America and lashing out in the well of a courtroom and reopening those wounds that he inflicted on 9/11.”
Debra Burlingame, head of 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America, said the group is "relieved" Obama "abandoned his plan" to bring the conspirators to U.S. soil.

God bless Todd Beamers father and what he said in the second video I posted.
The attitude from Holder as well as the attitude obama has toward Americans is a disgrace! THEY are a disgrace!
How could he blame congress anyway when it was both parties which opposed bringing him to NY city?!
They announce a 180 turn to go with popular public opinion, then blame the decision on congress all on the day Obama announces his candidacy!!!!!
Even Stevie Wonder can see that one!

Senators Send Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Israel
Senators Send Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Israel, so Why Was Rubio Excluded?
Last week, a group of 27 Republican and Democrat U.S. Senators penned a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her to outline the steps President Obama and his administration were taking in order to end the recent violence against Israeli citizens by Palestinian based terror groups and their supporters.
The violence has been highlighted by the brutal murder of a young Israeli family and the persistent mortar shelling into Israel from Palestinian positions outside of Israel proper. While many of the Senators named in letter have been solid supporters of Israel, it seems as if several of these Senators were all too eager to get their names on this letter more for PR purposes than simply to be on the right side of this issue.
The one very noticeable name who was not included in the letter and perhaps was purposely excluded is that of Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Rubio is considered one of the staunchest supporters of Israel and its struggle to live free from enemy aggression.
Just two weeks after his historic victory last November 2010, Rubio made it a point to visit Israel. And as Rubio has been a consistent supporter of Israel, he has also expressed his opposition to President Obama’s disgraceful foreign policy towards Israel. And it was Rubio who stepped up on Israel’s behalf when he defied world opinion by openly asserting that he believes that Jerusalem, not Tel-Aviv, is the true capitol of Israel. Rubio’s bona fides on Israel are solid- so the question remains why wasn’t Rubio included in the letter to Secretary Clinton?
Recently, Senator Rubio issued this statement after the latest terrorist bombing in Jerusalem:
“The bombing in Jerusalem is another tragic reminder of the persistent threats to Israel’s security. I condemn this murderous act in the strongest terms and pray for the victims, their families and the entire state of Israel that mourns… As long as terrorists reject Israel’s right to exist and deploy these types of heinous acts, there cannot be lasting peace in the region. America has a responsibility to stand with Israel and support its right to protect the Israeli people. We must also insist that the onus for change to achieve a two-state solution be on rejecting violence and accepting Israel’s existence.”- Senator Marco Rubio
Below is the letter with a complete list of signatories:
"Dear Secretary Clinton:
In the wake of this month's brutal terrorist murders of a Jewish family in Itamar and the terrorist bombing of a civilian bus in Jerusalem, we are writing with serious concern over continuing incitement directed against Jews and Israel within the Palestinian media, mosques and schools, and even by individuals or institutions affiliated with the Palestinian Authority (PA). We would like to know what specific steps you are taking to press for an end to this dangerous incitement.
Palestinian incitement includes the glorification of terrorists and jihad, and anti-Semitic stereotypes in the Palestinian media. There are a number of examples of Palestinian incitement over the last year listed in an index established by the Israeli prime minister's office.
On March 9, 2011, PA President Mahmoud Abbas' advisor, Sabri Saidam, delivered a speech in which he emphasized that Palestinian weapons must be turned towards Israel. Saidam reportedly demanded that the Palestinian people be attentive to the living conditions of martyrs' families and said that the anniversary of the death of Dalal Mughrabi (one of the perpetrators of a 1978 coastal highway massacre) should be marked by inaugurating a square in her name in the city of El-Bireh.
On Feb. 9, 2011, the official Palestinian television station broadcast a clip from a campaign entitled "Women as Exemplars," during which Dalal Mughrabi (see above) was extolled. In the summer of 2010, several children's summer camps were named after her.
On Jan. 24, 2011, the governor of Jenin issued a presidential grant worth $2,000 to the family of a Palestinian terrorist, Khaldoun Samoudi, who was killed while trying to detonate two bombs against Israeli soldiers at the Beka'ot Crossing.
On Jan. 2, 2011, Al Hayat Al-Jadida reported that Azzam Al-Ahmed, a member of the Fatah Central Committee, attended a gathering on the 46th anniversary of the establishment of Fatah during which models of settlement buildings were blown up. He reportedly reviewed terrorist attacks perpetrated by Fatah and said that, "Fatah is a mass movement which believed in popular revolution and wrested its right to use all means of resistance in order to achieve its aim."
Although President Abbas has expressed his sorrow over the Itamar massacre, the Palestinian Authority must take unequivocal steps to condemn the incident and stop allowing the incitement that leads to such crimes. Educating people toward peace is critical to establishing the conditions to a secure and lasting peace.
The Itamar massacre was a sobering reminder that words matter, and that Palestinian incitement against Jews and Israel can lead to violence and terror. We urge you to redouble your efforts to impress upon the Palestinian leadership that continuing to condone incitement is not tolerable. We also urge you to consider focusing adequate training and educational programs in the West Bank and Gaza that promote peaceful coexistence with Israel.
Sincerely,
Signed by:

Perhaps there is a good reason, Rubio might have been out of town when they all signed the letter...who knows. But it is very odd that after he has been so consistent on his standing up for Israel they would exclude him. Maybe they think of him like Sarah Palin since he has been very outspoken about Obama not doing the correct thing regarding Israel. There are democrats on the list of names, it might have been their idea to leave Marco off.

Sociopath Dictator Obama To Side With Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood's Goal To Remove Yemen's President, An Ally!
U.S. Shifts to Seek Removal of Yemen’s Leader, an Ally
The United States, which long supported Yemen’s president, even in the face of recent widespread protests, has now quietly shifted positions and has concluded that he is unlikely to bring about the required reforms and must be eased out of office, according to American and Yemeni officials.
The Obama administration had maintained its support of President Ali Abdullah Saleh in private and refrained from directly criticizing him in public, even as his supporters fired on peaceful demonstrators, because he was considered a critical ally in fighting the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda. This position has fueled criticism of the United States in some quarters for hypocrisy for rushing to oust a repressive autocrat in Libya but not in strategic allies like Yemen and Bahrain.
That position began to shift in the past week, administration officials said. While American officials have not publicly pressed Mr. Saleh to go, they have told allies and some reporters that they now view his hold on office as untenable, and they believe he should leave.
A Yemeni official said that the American position changed when the negotiations with Mr. Saleh on the terms of his potential departure began a little over a week ago.
“The Americans have been pushing for transfer of power since the beginning” of those negotiations, the official said, but have not said so publicly because “they still were involved in the negotiations.”
Those negotiations now center on a proposal for Mr. Saleh to hand over power to a provisional government led by his vice president until new elections are held. That principle “is not in dispute,” the Yemeni official said, only the timing and “mechanism.”
It does remain in dispute among the student-led protesters, however, who have rejected any proposal that would give power to a leading official of the Saleh government.
Washington has long had a wary, careful relationship of mutual dependence with Mr. Saleh. The United States has provided weapons, and the Yemeni leader has allowed the United States military and the C.I.A. to strike at Qaeda strongholds. The State Department cables released by Wikileaks gave a close-up view of that uneasy interdependence: Mr. Saleh told Gen. David H. Petraeus, then the American commander in the Middle East, that the United States could continue missile strikes against Al Qaeda as long as the fiction was maintained that Yemen was conducting them.
“We’ll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours,” Mr. Saleh said, according to a cable sent by the American ambassador. At other times, however, Mr. Saleh resisted American requests. In a wry assessment of the United States, he told Daniel Benjamin, the State Department’s counterterrorism chief, that Americans are “hot-blooded and hasty when you need us,” but “cold-blooded and British when we need you.”
The negotiations in Sana began after government-linked gunmen killed more than 50 protesters at an antigovernment rally on March 18, prompting a wave of defections of high-level government officials the following week. The American and Yemeni officials who discussed the talks did so on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private and still in progress.
It is not clear whether the United States is discussing a safe passage for Mr. Saleh and his family, and residency in another country, but that appears to be the direction of the talks in Sana, the capital.

Egypt, Libya, and now Yemen? If there was any doubt there is a pattern here, it’s gone. The Obama admin is definitely trying to prop up radical Muslim regimes across the Middle East.
Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He is getting rid of any leader in the Middle East who has provided stability. He’s making sure the Muslim Brotherhood controls the entire area.
I think this could be very dangerous. Yemen is the most dangerous hotbed.
Obama is very consistent......in undermining and harming the United States.

Message To Mr. Boehner: Starve Fedzilla! by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
Message To Mr. Boehner: Starve Fedzilla!
by Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
“The Tea Party wing of his party refuses to give any ground. It demands a right-wing social agenda under the guise of the budget. That will be unacceptable to the American people”---states Democrat Representative Chris Van Hollen in his characterization of the difficulty House Speaker John Boehner faces in proposing a budget acceptable to the big-spending career Fedzillacrats in the Senate and the anti-American occupying the White House.
Van Hollen is well-known for his public exhibitions of socialist hypocrisy. He and his colleagues, plagued with LMD, will not listen to the mandate of the American majority which he labels as the Tea Party, suggesting they are a small right-wing minority fringe group. But Mr. Van Hollen is mistaken!
This majority consists of patriotic pro-Constitutional Americans who possess common sense and the ability to count. We clearly understand the nation is trapped in the claws of career politicians who with the help of the Federal Reserve have driven America to brink of financial insolvency; that Obama’s one trillion dollar proposed annual budget and the more than 14,000,000,000,000 dollars federal deficit must be slashed; and that growing our unfunded mandates to over 100 trillion dollars through Obamacare and other socialist anti-American programs is the path to national suicide.
The Democrat-controlled Senate resembles the gang of fourteen Wisconsin Democrats who went AWOL when they realized the majority of their Assembly would prevail to solve to a budget crisis hatched by Fedzilla-aligned Democrats and their cronies. The U.S. House of Representatives is ultimately responsible for proposing a budget the Senate can vote on and the President can sign. Most Americans understand that America is insolvent were not for the printing presses of the U.S. Treasury which continues to devalue our currency.
The Tea Party caucus of the Republican Party is right to insist that the budget is balanced AND slashes the largest national deficit in history. Harry Reid, Van Hollen and their socialist friends mistakenly believe a ‘shutdown’ will reflect negatively on House Republicans, when in reality its merely shows how these socialists are unwilling to do what is necessary to reverse America’s course to national insolvency.
Van Hollen’s quip that the Tea Party budget seeks to achieve a rightwing social agenda which would be unacceptable to the American people resorts to negative labeling and mischaracterization of the goals of the majority. He is correctly afraid that the Tea Party will defund Obamacare, taxpayer funding for abortion, and other self-destructive socialist programs.
House Majority Leader Boehner must not cave in to the career members of his own party who merely want to placate the psychologically-challenged on the other side of the aisle. A government shutdown is not as bad as the alternative!

I like Speaker Boehner, but I am not blind as to how he can go rino on things sometimes. He needs to be strong ALL the time, not just once and awhile. If these people do not show force to match the force of the left America will never survive.
Good article by Dr. Bates.

KISS Donates 500,000 To Wounded Warrior Project
Bandmembers talk about the troop support program tied into their concerts and they invite a Pentagon Channel reporter on stage with them during a concert in Houston.
Wounded Warrior Project is a non-profit organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. It serves to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, to help severely injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs. For more information, please call (904) 296-7350 or visit ...
The relationship between KISS and the Wounded Warrior project began in October 2009, when the group invited several veterans and service members from the project to a show in Atlanta.
Several days later, three members of the band followed up with a visit to the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center.
"It's awesome because what KISS has been able to do is to activate not only their fan base, which is pretty incredible, but also to activate a nation," said Laurie Ott, the executive director of the project. "They are getting us into a national conversation in a way we couldn't do otherwise."
Ott said the band's support will be used for several projects, including establishing transitional housing, expanding programs to treat post-traumatic stress disorder, and building a retreat center to train more providers to deliver marriage and family workshops for returning service members.
"These are people who have actually been to Augusta and seen the rehab unit," Ott said. "It's pretty personal for them."
Last year, lead singer Paul Stanley told veterans in Augusta that those injured in the line of duty should be recognized for what they have given the country.
"People talk about the ultimate sacrifice," Stanley said. "But isn't it a sacrifice to come back home and discover you no longer have your life? We want everyone home safely and to urge everyone to give these people the respect they deserve."
Gene Simmons has always been a big supporter of the troops.Besides his group KISS, he has privately visited the wounded at various hospitals and bases on his own.

More Waivers Handed Out~ Wake Up America, Why Do We Have To Have Obamacare When Obama and His Donors and Politicians Do NOT!
New Health Law Waivers
The Obama Administration has rolled out another 129 waivers to one provision of the new health reform law, with almost half of those new exemptions going to various union groups.
The extra waivers bring the total to 1,168, giving businesses, health plans, unions and others an exemption from a portion of the law that in 2011 requires an annual benefit limit of no less than $750,000.
In other words, these 1,168 waivers allow companies to limit health insurance payouts to less than $750,000 – those annual benefit limits will be phased out by 2014.
The waivers now cover almost three million Americans, but the feds argue that is “less than 2 percent of all Americans who have private health insurance.
Almost half of the new round of waivers were given to union health benefit programs, a fact that is sure spur new complaints from health law critics in the Congress, who see these waivers as evidence that the Obama health plan is flawed.
Among the unions that were recently approved for waivers:
# Teamsters Local 237 in New York, covering over 51,000 workers
# Carpenters District Council of Kansas City Welfare Plan, for 20,898 workers
# Southeastern Iron Workers, for 5,143 policies
# Minneapolis Retail Meat Cutters and Food Handlers for 10,720
# the Fulton Fish Market Welfare Fund for 1,211
Among the non-union recipients of new waivers, those included very average sounding businesses like the Mary Cariola Children's Center in Rochester, NY, the Tumex Corporation of Yuma, Arizona, Belo Tank Xpress and Lexus of Austin.
The new waivers were released on the same day that Congress delved into the details of another part of the Obama health law, as the feds detailed over 1300 grants to companies big and small, designed to help them fund health coverage for early retirees.
Those grants went to well known companies like AT&T and General Electric, and major unions like the United Auto Workers.
Members of both parties sternly criticized officials involved in implementing the Obama health law, using a Friday hearing to blast the idea of giving $36 million to GE, which just reported $14 billion in profits, to help insure their early retirees.

I cannot stand it, we are paying already for obamacare and he keeps giving out wavers to his unions.

Fmr. CIA Counterterrism Analyst Michael Scheuer Slams CNN Host Over Libya: 'You're Just Carrying the Water for Mr. Obama'
Fmr CIA Counterterrism Analyst To CNN Anchor: "You're Just Carrying The Water For Mr. Obama"
On CNN , former CIA Counterterrorism analyst Michael Scheuer appeared with Kiran Chetry and Christine Romans and was not happy with President Obama’s actions in Libya. Scheuer is not optimistic about success in the country and wasn’t pleased to hear Romans offer up any possible rationale for American intervention there.
Scheuer was adamant that the U.S. should never have gotten involved in Libya because “I’m not sure that the opposition, if it takes power, is going to be much better than was Gaddafi.” Arguing that Libya was “none of our business,” Scheuer fears that our involvement will be a recruiting tool for extremists, since “in the Muslim world this is Americans killing Muslims again, and it looks like it’s for oil.” The increasingly tense interview got a little more uncomfortable when Scheur referred to “the rather crazed Ms. Rice at the UN” and Romans took exception to the description.
Scheuer then concluded that when no American interests are at stake, we should not be spending money “at a time when we’re nearly bankrupt.” However, Romans disagreed with the argument, suggesting that the problems in the national economy and Libya were two separarte issues. Scheuer laughed and attacked back, “they’re not separate issues ma’am, you’re just carrying the water for Mr. Obama.” Romans, not eager for that to be the last word, passionately responded, “I’m certainly not carrying anyone’s water! And, I will assure you of that.”

‘Hello, Communist Party Calling’: A New Reason to Be on the Do-Not-Dial List
‘Hello, Communist Party Calling’: A New Reason to Be on the Do-Not-Dial List
The Communist Party USA has started a national phone campaign to call people who have recently signed up to become members. And while that may not be surprising, what is is the sheer number of people phone volunteers are calling: 1,500. That’s how many people have recently joined the party — and that’s just through the internet.
“It was a great reception. People really want to be a part of the Communist Party,” Jonathan, one of the phone bankers, told the CPUSA website People’s World. “Several people were very excited and said, ‘I was wondering when someone was going to call me.’”
“I spoke with a lot of young people who had signed up on the CPUSA website and were really excited to be having their first conversation with an actual member,” said Noah Toler. “Mainly people were interested in what the Party was thinking about this or that issue.”
In the past, CPUSA has worked hard to got people to look past the ideology’s checkered past. Not only do they have game night, but there’s also a bunch of regular Joes joining in:
Many were already active with the Party and YCL locally, in their unions, or through local struggles. A lot expressed enthusiasm for developments in Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio and the protest wave sweeping the country. They were happy to know the Party and YCL were deeply involved in the fight.

Barry Soetoro's Wench Manly Janet Napolitano on the Border or How Obama and His Ilk To Undermine America
"It is simply inaccurate to state-as too many have-that the border with Mexico is overrun or out of control. This statement-I think sometimes is made to score some political points you know-but it’s wrong. It’s just plain wrong" said the clueless Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
CNSNews
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that "given the statistical framework" the U.S.-Mexico border is not “overrun or out of control”--adding that those who make such claims are just trying to score political points.
"But I think the amount of resources we’ve put at the border with Mexico shows how serious this administration is,” Napolitano said in a speech at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Just two days before Napolitano made these statements, Richard Stana, director of homeland security and justice issues for the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office--the federal auditing agency that investigates the effectiveness and efficiency of other government agencies--testified in the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the Border Patrol can stop or prevent illegal entries into the United States along only 129 miles of the 1,954-mile long U.S.-Mexico border.
Napolitano Defends Progress in Securing the Border
Homeland Security Secretary and former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano is speaking about the Obama administration's efforts to secure the border.
She notes the growing number of Border Patrol and I.C.E. agents being stationed there -- and, how the amount of manpower is yielding results.
The progress being made prompted Secretary Napolitano to call the border quote, "secure" while making sure the rest of the U.S. knows the border is quote, "safe and open for business."
"..I think the amount of resources we put at the border with Mexico shows how serious this administration is. So given the deployment of resources, given the statistical framework, it is simply inaccurate to state as too many have, that the border with Mexico is overrun or out of control." said Napolitano. "..We have been focusing on those in the country illegally, who have also been committing other crimes, who are really impacting the public's safety in the United States. So, while in the last two years we've actually removed more illegal immigrants from the country than any two years prior, something I think the public should recognize, half of those are people who have committed other crimes as well. And as we continue to deploy a system called 'secure communities,' that percentage of removals who are actually those who are also in our criminal justice system will only go up."
ICE continues to release known predators
For Full article CLICK HERE.......Washington Examiner:
ICE continues to release known predators who have been arrested, tried and convicted. If ICE had deported illegal immigrant Jose Reyes Alfaro in 2002, the three people he is accused of murdering in February with a handgun and machete during a bloody rampage in Manassas might still be alive. So would Sister Denise Mosier, the Benedictine nun who was killed last August by twice-convicted drunk driver Carlos Martinelly Montano, who was released because ICE didn't consider him a "flight risk." Morton claims that ICE is "dedicated to the removal of criminal offenders from our country." But when just one county in Virginia has had to rearrest more than 300 criminals previously sent to ICE for deportation, Morton has to do a lot more than this to prove it.

Janet doesn’t have the intelligence to fry tortillas and yet she is head of Homeland Insecurity.
She does have the brawn, though, to be a bouncer in a cantina on the border, which would be a suitable job for her.

Obama (owned by Soros) STILL With No Documentation Will Launch His 2012 Campaign Likely Next Week
Obama '12 launch likely next week
Barack Obama plans to announce his reelection campaign early next week in an electronic message to grass-roots supporters, Democratic sources tell POLITICO.
Obama launches with a recovering economy and a weak, fractured Republican field, but with chaos in the Middle East that adds unpredictability to an environment that points to likely reelection. Obama’s campaign, which could raise $1 billion or more, will be based in Chicago, just a few blocks from the headquarters of his historic 2008 race.
The most likely day for the campaign to file registration papers with the Federal Election Commission is Monday, but officials are not committing to a specific date in case some transcendent event in the world would overshadow the kickoff. Obama aides want to tell their supporters first, and so are not encouraging preview stories by the press.
The president’s announcement will be transmitted directly to supporters through text messages, email and social media, not with an appearance by Obama, the sources said.
The launch could come any time, according to the sources. The website is ready, the donation button has been tested, and call sheets to key political supporters are set.
David Axelrod, who returned to Chicago after serving as a White House senior adviser for the first two years, will once again be Obama’s strategic guru.
Obama campaign organizers have long planned to launch at the beginning of the second quarter so they can show a fundraising juggernaut in their first report to FEC. But they couldn’t pull the trigger on the first day of the quarter, April Fool’s Day, and then the next two days were weekend days. Obama is scheduled to raise money for the campaign in Chicago on April 14, and the campaign had to formally organize before that date.

Rep LTC Allen West ~ Greatness In This Hero!!!
Transcript from The Right Scoop
Speech given April 1, 2011
Thank you for being here because this shows your commitment to your country. This shows your commitment to the principles and values upon which this country was established. And you know some of the things that people continue to ask me, they continue to ask me “well, why won’t you compromise, why won’t you negotiate?”. We’ll let me tell you something. Abraham Lincoln said very succinctly, he said “plant your feet in the right place and then stand firm”, and so I’m gonna be standing firm.
When I was a young Lieutenant and I was going through airborne school, the sergeant black hat said very simply:
“ If you set the bar low you jump low. ” You did not send us up here to set the bar low. You sent us up here with some expectations. You sent us with a mandate. You sent us up here believing that we were here to do the things, to turn around this great ship of state called the United States of America. Because right now, this leaderless, rudderless ship is out in the maelstrom about to get tossed on the rocks.
And I’m sick and tired of hearing everyone talk about this great constitutional, conservative grass roots movement called the Tea Party. I am sick and tired of them trying to blame you, I am sick and tired of them trying to castigate you in a negative manner. No one says anything about Moveon.org; no one says anything about Organizing for America. You are what this country was founded upon and I am glad to be standing her with you.
We are not here to talk about shutting down the government. But if you want to know about shutting down the government, go right over there and talk to Chuck Schumer, go talk to Harry Reid, go down to 1600 Pennsylvania and talk to the President. We’re here to talk about the incredible fiscal irresponsibility.
And I gotta tell you something. Why would I want to sit down and compromise with people who enhanced this problem we have in America with the three years of deficit spending – 1.42 trillion, 1.29 trillion, 1.65 trillion. The debt in the past four years has gone up 5 trillion dollars. Why do I want to listen to people like that. Because I don’t think that they are going to give me any good solutions.
The bottom line is this: we have got to turn this ship around. I am not going to lower my standards, I am not going to do anything but stand upon the values you sent me up her for!
For twenty two years you asked me to do one simple thing. You asked me to always protect your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. You asked me to guard the great symbols of this country. In November of 2010 you gave me the privilege and honor of to take off a uniform, put on a suit and tie and continue to serve you.
I will continue to protect you. I will continue to protect your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I will not let you down!
God bless you all, God bless America, and thank you to the tea party.

Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests, Arizona Sheriff Says ~ This Is Obama and DHS Insane Idea Of Protecting Our Country!
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever, left, speaks about illegal immigration at an event in Arizona also attended by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.
Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests, Arizona Sheriff Says
Sheriff: "I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away"
An Arizona sheriff says U.S. Border Patrol officials have repeatedly told him they have been ordered to reduce -- at times even stop -- arrests of illegal immigrants caught trying to cross the U.S. border.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency’s office on Arizona's southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods.
“The senior supervisor agent is telling me about how their mission is now to scare people back,” Dever said in an interview with FoxNews.com. “He said, ‘I had to go back to my guys and tell them not to catch anybody, that their job is to chase people away. … They were not to catch anyone, arrest anyone. Their job was to set up posture, to intimidate people, to get them to go back.”
Dever said his recent conversation with the Border Patrol supervisor was the latest in a series of communications on the subject that he has had with various federal agents over the last two years. Dever said he plans to relay the substance of these conversations when he testifies under oath next month before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Obama's numbers are tanking...he needs more illegal voters for his illegal presidency.
If a person cannot see that this is forcing others to break our existing laws they are nuts. Damn obama and Janet and anyone else that does not want to obey our laws.
The other thing my guess is this is a real political scam. Department of Homeland Security may want to reduce the number of arrests to create the illusion that fewer illegals are entering the U.S. due to DHS’s heightened efforts.

What A Total Disgrace This Man Is ~ AWOL Indiana Democrat Rep. Dave Cheatham Equates Fleeing State to Serving in Afghanistan
Indiana Democrat Rep. Dave Cheatham equates his fleeing from the state, and refusing to do the job he was elected to do, to a serviceman leaving the country to serve in Afghanistan.
Indiana State Representative Dave Cheetham (D) not only found a way to recently compare his caucus’s running away to Illinois to avoid a vote on an anti-union bill to soldiers serving in Afghanistan, but he also found a way to invoke the children:
CHEATHAM: The thing that sticks in my mind, I guess, more than anything else — and this is something that has happened. My wife teaches first grade. This past week, one of the kids in her class, a little first grader’s dad is getting sent to Afghanistan. And he was really sad. And she said, ‘Eell, you know, your dad is doing something really good. He’s going to a country where people there are trying to take away the freedoms of other people there, keep them from living a good life. So he’s leaving to do something good.’ And one of the little girls in class just on her own — and this has never been talked about in class, because my wife doesn’t do that — said, ‘It’s kind of like Mr. Cheatham, he left to make our schools better.’ And when I heard that, that gave me a reason —” (drowned out by applause.)

It really never stops with these people. Stupid me I keep thinking maybe they will shut up at least from the things they say that drive me up a wall. But nope!!!!
Up yours Rep. Dave Cheatham ! Too bad they can't drop him out of a plane over the mountains in Afghanistan, naked, no weapons to defend himself and see how long he would last.

To Republican Politicians WATCH This Video and LEARN As President Reagan Takes On Obama, Rino McCain, Pelosi
Reagan beats up on Obama, McCain, Pelosi...and Clooney.
Wild Thing's comment.........
Excellent video! We still have too few elected Republicans that are strong against the left in office. They need to be reminded we meant what we said at the Tea Parties and Townhalls. Why we have to keep at them is a big disappointment but we do. John Boehner for example has his moments of doing and saying the right thing, being strong, then he will turn around and show weakness........NOT Good! It has to be consistent or it won't help.
Not only Speaker Boehner but many others as well.
The left is good at wearing people down, they never stop, and it does get more then tiresome, more stress every day at their crap they dish out. What I wish is that those we elected would FINALLY realize that we are maxed out with the stress of obama and the rest of the progressives BS, to a breaking point many of us and we have had ENOUGH! There is a limit to how much a person can stand and if they can't be strong for us, be our voice and do what has to be done without the slide into RINOville they then are cowards and we do not want them. PERIOD!
They get hate mail, trolls at their facebook pages, ( Boehner has tons of trolls from the left at his) but they need to realize we get this too and we can't even call a press conference to tell of obama and the left, or push a bill through or any of the things they can do to keep the left from getting what they want. And that is frustrating for us.
One last thing, all of this makes it even more upsetting when so many have served our country and see all this happening. Our Veterans deserve better, they deserve to have the awesome America it can be and has been so much in the past.
Get rid of obamacare it is already costing us money right now in our insurance going up.
Get rid of the freaking stupid light bulb BS, the enviro detergents that do NOT clean and leave a gray color to white clothes, towels, sheets etc.
Let us DRILL FOR OIL, we have more then enough, much more then enough.
NO TO Cap and Trade
NO to insane R.O.E.'S that get our troops killed and injured.
Speak out about Obama's birth certificate it is not right that he get away with what he has done on this. His guilt screams out to the world when he has paid over $2 Million to fight this in courts. How much more guilty does a person have to look to do something like that. And where is the $2 Million coming from????? Out tax dollars??????
And all of THIS is not even all the things that need attention.

NATO Warns Rebels Against Attacking Civilians
NATO Warns Rebels Against Attacking Civilians
Members of the NATO alliance have sternly warned the rebels in Libya not to attack civilians as they push against the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, according to senior military and government officials.
As NATO takes over control of airstrikes in Libya, and the Obama administration considers new steps to tip the balance of power there, the coalition has told the rebels that if they endanger civilians, they will not be shielded from possible bombardment by NATO planes and missiles, just as the government’s forces have been punished.
“We’ve been conveying a message to the rebels that we will be compelled to defend civilians, whether pro-Qaddafi or pro-opposition,” said a senior Obama administration official. “We are working very hard behind the scenes with the rebels so we don’t confront a situation where we face a decision to strike the rebels to defend civilians.”
The warnings, and intense consultations within the NATO-led coalition over its rules for attacking anyone who endangers innocent civilians, come at a time when the civil war in Libya is becoming ever more chaotic, and the battle lines ever less distinct. They raise a fundamental question that the military is now grappling with: who in Libya is a civilian?
Wild Thing's comment.........
Obama has no idea what he has gotten us into on this one.
“We’ve been conveying a message to the rebels that we will be compelled to defend civilians, whether pro-Qaddafi or pro-opposition,” said a senior Obama administration official. “We are working very hard behind the scenes with the rebels so we don’t confront a situation where we face a decision to strike the rebels to defend civilians.”
( just a thought but maybe the)..... Translation: the Al Qaeda 'rebels' have started massacring pro-Qaddafi civilians.
So we are now on both sides of this civil war.
Or perhaps we are a third side. This whole thing is confusing. Obama is community organzing a war it seems and he is horrible at everything he does.
Asking Al Qaeda to not attack civilians is absurd. They killed 3000 in one day and celebrated it.
This is like some kind of sick comedy of how not to run a war. Never give a community organizer war weapons including putting him as CIC of our troops.

Al Qaeda Declares Southern Yemeni Province An "Islamic Emirate"
Yemeni anti-government protesters demonstrate in Sanaa. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s eventual fall or his replacement by a weaker leader would pose “a real problem” for US counter-terrorism work. (AFP/Ahmad Gharabli)
Yemeni President Faces Demands He Step Down
SANAA, Yemen – The Yemeni president's own tribe has called on him to step down after a deadly crackdown on protesters, robbing the embattled U.S.-backed leader of vital support in a society dominated by blood ties.
President Ali Abdullah Saleh appeared to be trying to hold on, firing his entire Cabinet ahead of what one government official said was a planned mass resignation, but making no mention of stepping down himself. Yemen's ambassador to the United Nations and its human rights minister had announced their resignations earlier in the day.
Experts said that Saleh, who has cooperated closely with U.S. military operations against his country's branch of al-Qaida, had lost the support of every major power base in Yemen except the military.
Al Qaeda Declares Southern Yemeni Province An "Islamic Emirate"
Women were told not to go outside except under necessary circumstances
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has declared Yemen’s Abyan province an “Islamic Emirate” and banned women from going outside, according to Eurasia Review and accounts from Yemeni journalists.
AQAP, which has established full control over the southern province, made an online statement Wednesday declaring Abyan an Islamic Emirate governed by Shariah.
The statement said women in the province should not go out except under necessary circumstances, “and she who urgently needs to go out, should be with one of her male relatives, and should have ID with her.”
AQAP's announcement comes just a few days after jihadists looted an ammunition factory in Ja'ar, a city in Abyan province, killing 150 people in an apparently accidental explosion. Al Qaeda militants have also taken control of local communications facilities in the province.

Another Stunner Behind Obama's Libya Doctrine
Hanan Ashrawi- "State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined – not least by the forces of globalization and international co-operation.."
Another stunner behind Obama's Libya doctrine
By Aaron Klein
TEL AVIV – A staunch denier of the Holocaust who long served as the deputy of late PLO leader Yasser Arafat served on the committee that invented the military doctrine used by President Obama as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.
As WND first reported, billionaire philanthropist George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, the world's leading organization pushing the military doctrine. Several of the doctrine's main founders sit on multiple boards with Soros.
The doctrine and its founders, as WND reported, have been deeply tied to Obama aide Samantha Power, who reportedly heavily influenced Obama in consultations leading to the decision to bomb Libya. Power is the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights.
Now it has emerged that Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi served on the advisory board of the 2001 commission that originally founded Responsibility to Protect.
That commission is called the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. It invented the term "Responsibility to Protect," while defining its guidelines.
Ashrawi is an infamous defender of Palestinian terrorism. Her father, Daoud Mikhail, was a co-founder of the PLO with Arafat. The PLO was engaged in scores of international terrorist acts and was declared a terrorist group by the U.S. in 1987.
During the First Palestinian Intifada, or war of "resistance" against Israel, in 1988, Ashrawi joined what was known as the Intifada Political Committee, which sought to advance Palestinian goals through both politics and "resistance." She served there until 1993.
In 1991, Arafat appointed Ashrawi to serve as the PLO's Minister of Higher Education and Research. The Palestinian school system is notorious for its glorification of "martyrdom," or suicide bombings, and has long preached against the existence of Israel.
Ashrawi has long defended the Hamas terror group as a legitimate component of the Palestinian "political spectrum."
She has stated she does not "think of Hamas as a terrorist group."
"We coordinate [with Hamas] politically," she said in April 1993, "the people we know and talk to are not terrorists."
In 1998 Ashrawi founded MIFTAH, a nonprofit that seeks to undermine Israel's legitimacy and refers to that Jewish state's 1948 creation as "Al Nakba," or "The Catastrophe."
Ashrawi has long been a Holocaust denier. In the July 2, 1998, edition of the official Palestinian Authority newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, she published an article calling the Holocaust "a deceitful myth, which the Jews have … exploited to get sympathy."
In 2001 Ashrawi became a spokeswoman for the Arab League.
Notably, Amre Moussa, Secretary General of the Arab League, served as an adviser to the same 2001 commission that invented the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine.
Ashrawi, meanwhile, was a protégé and later colleague and close friend of late Columbia University Professor Edward Said, another notorious apologist for Palestinian terrorism.
Said was replaced by Rashid Khalidi, a close personal friend to Obama.
Soros funded doctrine
With Ashrawi on the advisory board, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty first defined the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine.
In his address to the nation on Monday, Obama specifically cited the military doctrine as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.
Indeed, the Libya bombings have been widely regarded as a test of "Responsibility to Protect."
"Responsibility to Protect," or "Responsibility to Act" as cited by Obama is a set of principles, now backed by the United Nations, based on the idea that sovereignty is not a privilege but a responsibility that can be revoked if a country is accused of "war crimes," "genocide," "crimes against humanity" or "ethnic cleansing."
The term "war crimes" has at times been indiscriminately used by various U.N.-backed international bodies, including the International Criminal Court, or ICC, which applied it to Israeli anti-terror operations in the Gaza Strip. There has also been fear the ICC could be used to prosecute U.S. troops.
The Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect is the world's leading champion of the military doctrine.
Two of global group's advisory board members, Ramesh Thakur and Gareth Evans, are the original founders of the "Responsibility" doctrine, with the duo even coining the term "Responsibility to Protect."
Soros' Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.
Board members of the group include former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former Ireland President Mary Robinson and South African activist Desmond Tutu. Robinson and Tutu have recently made solidarity visits to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip as members of a group called The Elders, which includes former President Jimmy Carter.
Annan once famously stated, "State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined – not least by the forces of globalization and international co-operation. States are ... instruments at the service of their peoples and not vice versa."

Obama cites Soros-funded doctrine to justify bombing Libya
--In his address to the nation yesterday, President Obama cited a military doctrine funded by billionaire philanthropist George Soros as the main justification for U.S. and international air-strikes against Libya.
--Aside from directly citing the doctrine, Obama alluded to the Soros-funded military principle four more times in his 28-minute speech explaining why he decided to intervene in Libya.

Wild Thing's comment........
Whew! Any wonder why we are in trouble? It just never ends. If there is ANY evil in the world Obama has made friends with it.
This is another step toward global sharia law.
And Samantha Power wants a massive “protection force” to invade Israel and protect the palestinians as they rape, pillage, and murder Israel out of existence.
We need to be aware of the International Crisis group . Some notable names associated with the International Crisis group as board members and advisers.........George Soros, Kofi Annan, Samuel Berger, Wesley Clark , Mohamed El Baradei, Javier Solana, Louise Arbour, Prince Turki al-Faisal, Richard Armitage, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Douglas Schoen.
All this stuff is towards eliminating Israel, and the US is is playing the part of an enemy of Israel right now. Lord help us all ...
More oil controlled by the Caliphate + more restrictions on domestic oil + nuclear fearmongering = Death to America and Israel as we know it.
That there are USA military being used to further the goals of such people as Soros, Obama and these other people is unforgivable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear the day is coming when Obama will be telling us how we have to be for “defending” Hamas terrorist Palestinian murderers from Israel. They are trying to set up destroying Israel. All the people obama admires and and takes council from are people that hate Israel, hate Jews and America.
These people make me sick.
