Pat Caddell – “The Audacity of Corruption” 9 Days of Lies

Pat Caddell – “The Audacity of Corruption”


I highly recommend you not only watch the Video but that you read the full transcript. Pat Caddell brings forth such issues as;

...that it was appalling that Valerie Jarrett had a Secret Service detail.  A staff member in the White House who is a senior aide and has a full Secret Service detail, even while on vacation, and nobody in the press had asked why.  That has become more poignant, as I said, last week, when we discovered that we had an American ambassador, on the anniversary of 9/11, who was without adequate security—while she still has a Secret Service detail assigned to her full-time, at a massive cost, and no one in the media has gone to ask why.
As well as:

I want to talk about this Libyan thing, because we crossed some lines here.  It’s not about politics. First of all we’ve had nine day of lies over what happened because they can’t dare say it’s a terrorist attack, and the press won’t push this. Yesterday there was not a single piece in The New York Times over the question of Libya.  Twenty American embassies, yesterday, were under attack.  None of that is on the national news.  None of it is being pressed in the papers.  If a President of either party—I don’t care whether it was Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton or George Bush or Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush—had a terrorist incident, and got on an airplane after saying something, and flown off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas, they would have been crucified!  It would have been—it should have been the equivalent, for Barack Obama, of George Bush’s “flying over Katrina” moment.  But nothing was said at all, and nothing will be said.

 You can read the full transcript here. And a special thanks once again to "Aunt Susan" for sharing this with me.

Obama wages war on Coal - Ohio wake up! Bankrupt - YouTube

Bankrupt - YouTube



President Obama is attacking Mitt Romney because Mitt Romney supports coal miners. In 2008, Barack Obama said building a coal-powered plant will bankrupt you. President Obama wages war on coal while we lose jobs to China. We can't afford four more years.

Observations of Obama campaign workers at VA State Fair

This Sunday I was working at the Romney/Ryan booth at the Virginia State Fair.  First, thanks to all of the amazing people who stopped by to express their commitment to vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket as well as for George Allen who is running for the Senate here in VA.

If anyone says there is just one 'type' of person voting for R&R they are either ignorant or lying.  People of every gender, race, ethnic group and even social interests stopped by.

There was the great young couple who many would target at Obama supporters who were anything but. They looked like a super cool rock and roll couple and they were firm Tea Party members. There was the lady in her sixties who had just become an American Citizen and who was thrilled to be able to vote for the first time in the U.S. for Romney and Ryan. The young black family that stopped by to assure us that no only were they going to put out the Romney/Ryan yard sign they were picking up but that it was the fifth sign they were getting because they kept getting pulled down. Fearless against the grief they were taking in their neighborhood. So many young voters stopped by who were taking this election, their first to vote, very seriously. It was heartening. Our booth was busy non stop all day.

One of the disturbing things people kept sharing was that when they passed the Obama booth wearing their Romney/Ryan stickers two things stood out to them. 1. No one was lingering at the Obama booth to speak of and 2. the workers were rude to them if they stopped to converse.  There was no attempt to be civil and have a discussion they were just rude and in some instances abusive. One person witnessed a female Obama worker leaning over the table to poke a person in the chest calling them an Asshole.  I can say there was no such behavior at our booth.  The closest thing I saw to rude was done to us not by us. A young black child wearing an Obama sticker pushed our material off our table while flipping us the universal finger symbol for F.U.  This child was perhaps 6 years old at best.

Another constant tale we were being told was that the two ladies who had a booth across from Obama's selling a line of bags called 31 bags or 31 purses were being mildly harassed throughout the days because they had a Romney/Ryan  sign up in their booth.  So I went to speak to the two women.  It was disturbing to say the least what these two people had to put up with from the Obama workers.  IS this what Obama and his followers call Civil Discourse?

I think the most disturbing of all observations was a female Obama campaign worker talking to a group of young girls, and I mean young, maybe 10 or 12.  Extolling to them how Obama was protecting their RIGHT TO ABORTIONS...

I am sorry but in no world do I think young girls not even in puberty need to be harangued about their right to abort unborn children.

Fear it and Do something to Stop it. Obama's fundamental transformation of our Country. By Steve McCann


Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans


The 2012 election has often been described as the most pivotal since 1860.This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind.

The overwhelming majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America " in his second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party office holders.

The most significant accomplishment of Obama's first term is to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial presidency.

During the first two years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually unlimited power to the executive branch.

The birth of multi-thousand page laws was not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by Obama appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written laws and enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress would subsequently write.

For example, in the 2,700 pages of ObamaCare there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they "may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines." In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully operational in 2014.

The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled Barack Obama and his radical associates.

Additionally, the Obama administration has, through its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created laws out of whole cloth. The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others.

None of these extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless stopped in its early stages.

It is clearly the mindset of this administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be ignored after they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in the current Congress.

Additionally, Barack Obama knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing to use Chicago style political tactics.

The stalemate between the Executive and Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow leftists.

The most significant power Congress has is the control of the purse-strings
as all spending must be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those dependent on government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering their ability to control the administration through spending constraints.

Further, this administration has shown contempt for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more blatant as he will not have to be concerned with re-election.

Who will be there to enforce the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one. Barack Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over the American people.

Many Republicans and conservatives dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are instead focused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated. The nation is not dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds during his first term, he does not intend to work with Congress either Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power he has usurped or been granted.

The governmental structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However, knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check on each other.

What they could not imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them

Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal. All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

Steve McCann
May 12, 2012

I would add but 6 words to those above mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney, to say "and we the American people also", must come to grips with this moment in time and our role in denying Barack Obama his life long goal of "transforming" us into his slaves working on his government plantation.

Please forward this to all you can, maybe together we can save America for ourselves and those who will follow after us.

Another Attack on Religious Freedom - Loveland school seizes rosary beads from student, says they’re ‘gang symbol’ | KDVR.com | Denver Breaking News, Weather & Sports – FOX 31 News in Denver, Colorado

Below is an article and video I came across in my wanderings.  Where is the apology for this blatant attack on Christian Faith and Feelings? I suppose if this young man had brought a gun to school and murdered his teachers and classmates in reaction to this insult to his religion THEN an apology would be issued for religious insensitivity? Oh, no let's not fool ourselves. This was an attack against Christianity, Not Islam so there will be no apology.

The school says that this young man who wears his rosary is showing support for a gang that he has no affiliation with or who for that matter has any affiliation with any gang. His affiliation is with the Catholic Church. This young man is a good student and a faithful Catholic and has never been in any trouble other than making the mistake of wearing his rosary to school.

Can you imagine the outrage and gnashing of teeth that would be going on if the school had demanded a Muslim remove some symbol of their religion? Where is the ACLU here? Oh, you won't see them unless he were ALLOWED to wear his rosary. Where are we going??? What is happening to us?

By the way. One small but interesting sidebar. As I typed this not once did my auto spell check give me the red underscore when I did not capitalize the word Catholic as it does when I neglect to capitalize the word muslim. It's the little things...

Loveland school seizes rosary beads from student, says they’re ‘gang symbol’ | KDVR.com | Denver Breaking News, Weather & Sports – FOX 31 News in Denver, Colorado  by ,




LOVELAND, Colo. — A student is questioning whether his faith or his fashion is under fire at his high school in Loveland.
Thompson Valley High School officials have confiscated his rosary beads twice since school started three weeks ago.
And he says they never told him, or his family, why.
“They tell me I can’t wear them,” says Manuel Vigil, showing us an identical rosary to the one seized by his school.
The junior says he wears rosary beads to protect himself from harm.
But his school district thinks the religious necklace will harm students.
“That’s typically not what we want for a safe environment for school,” says Thompson Valley School District spokesperson Margaret Crespo.
The district says they can be affiliated with gangs, and disrupt learning.
“Are you in a gang? I ask Vigil. ‘No. I’m not in a gang,’ he says. You’re a good student?  ‘I’m a good student,’” he says.
The 16-year-old says he and his family are strong Catholics.
“I use them for prayer. I feel safe when I have them on.”
The district says it gave Vigil options before seizing the beads.
“We’ve given you two opportunities to take it off or to put it inside your shirt. That’s not something you’re interested in doing. You’re not giving us an alternative than to remove it,” Crespo says Vigil was told.
But Vigil says he only got a demand.
“If he would have given me that option, I would have put it in my shirt,” he says.
Vigil’s classmates agree putting a bad label on a good symbol is wrong.
“If it’s for religious reasons he should be allowed to wear it. We have religious tolerance in this country,” says a freshman student Jack.
“It’s a necklace. Girls wear necklaces all the time and they never get them taken away,” says junior Rachel.
“They can say anything they want is disruptive.  Just ‘cause they say it, doesn’t mean it’s true,” says freshman Adam. None of the students wanted to give their last names.
Vigil says how ironic he’s getting in trouble for being a good and faithful person.
“I could see if I was out doing gang activity, but I’ve never been in trouble with the law, never been in trouble at school,” says Vigil.
The bigger problem the district says is Vigil’s rosary had 13 beads per section, instead of the traditional 10.
That 13, they say, can be associated with the Sureno’s gang.
But Vigil didn’t know that.
Plus, on some religious websites we also found several rosaries featuring 13 beads.
His other confiscated rosary, by the way, has 10 beads.
He’s tried to pick them up from the office. But the school says they’ll only give them to a parent and his mom can’t make it during school hours because of work.

Why does the Democratic Party continue to hide their heads in the sand? - Letter to the Editor of the Shreveport Times, LA


A friend in Louisiana sent the following letter to the Editor of his local newspaper.  I agree with him completely. I wish more Americans would wake up. 

September 14, 2012
To The Editor of The Shreveport Times

Our way of life and country’s real problem is not those that attack us.It is those of us that choose to ignore, placate, coddle, and refuse to condemn the actions of those that attack us.

It is a deplorable thing to witness, that for no other reason other than to avoid losing a voting block of those of Islamic faith, the leaders of the Democratic Party, as well as the media, go to extreme lengths to avoid recognizing the most recent incidents as terrorist attacks against our citizens and country.
Instead they blame a movie for the cause of the “hostility” towards Americans. What a weak principle to stand on.

When the National Endowment for the Arts funded Andres Serrano‘s “work of art”, the Crucifix of Jesus Christ in a bottle of urine, where was the outrage of the Democrats, supporting the Catholic Church and denouncing the work.

The only representatives that spoke up were Republicans Jesse Helms and Al  D’Amato. It may have been a factor in Rudy Giuliani’s decision to become a Republican. He also denounced it, in fact sued the museum to attempt to stop the presentation.

However, they did not ask Republicans to go out and murder the artists and their associates.
This abomination also won 1st place “Award in Visual Arts” given by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. Imagine that. 

Do you remember the Virgin Mary painting using elephant dung, explained to us imbeciles that do not appreciate true art, as an “artistic use of textures”? 

Would Hillary Clinton please address those issues as she has pertaining to an obscure movie made by a private citizen, seen only on the internet?  Would Eric Holder please investigate the financial dealings of the artists, museums, and benefactors of both, involved in the above mentioned “works of art”.
What if those same artists used Mohammed instead of Jesus and Mary?

The failure to face truth and reality, for any reason, will cause our destruction.

Presently the media and the Democratic Party are engaging in placating people whose goal is to bring the world back to the barbaric times of the 4th century where women are chattel and a barbaric religion rules everyone’s lives.

Considering the liberal point of view concerning “life choices” it is a mystery as to why they cannot see that their way of life is not tolerated by this barbaric theology. I ask that everyone reading this educate yourselves to the history concerning “Freedom of speech and blasphemy”, by going to Wikipedia online.
There you will find that only in Britain, Australia and even France, did private citizens do anything violent about these “works of art”, and they were perpetrated upon the art pieces only, not on the humans responsible.

However, you will also find that “art, publications and history” considered objectionable to Islam is met with a Fatwa, issued by an Imam, a holy man of Islam calling for the death of the people responsible not just for the work itself but also for those responsible for presenting it to the public.

There are scores of murders committed in recent history worldwide due to these Fatwa’s.

Why does the Democratic Party continue to hide their heads in the sand? Why is it so difficult for the present administration and the Democratic Party to say that these beliefs are not acceptable in today’s society?
Failure to denounce it is accepting it.

I pray that Christian Democrats consider this when voting this November.

We are being Attacked with acts of War and what does Obama do?

I don't even know where to begin. I woke up this morning with the news of yet another Act of War being waged against America in Yemen.  To even pretend to believe this is over a movie that insults a group of people is beneath contempt.  It may be an excuse but it isn't the reason.

The Reason is THEY HATE US and they won't stop hating us. Not under any circumstances will these people stop hating us. No matter how much Obama pussyfoots around with them with conciliatory remarks or bows to them or tries to make nice. No matter if he hands them over a Billion dollars of OUR Hard earned money. They will still hate us. They want us dead. You can't make that pretty. And you can't make it 'a crime' - It Is an Act of War.

Let's see what Obama has to say about it. How did he STAND for America?


U.S. President Barack Obama spoke with Morsy on Wednesday "to review the strategic partnership between the United States and Egypt, and our ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral economic and security cooperation," the White House said in a statement early Thursday.

During the call, the statement said, Obama told Morsy that "he rejects efforts to denigrate Islam, but underscored that there is never any justification for violence against innocents and acts that endanger American personnel and facilities."

Morsy "expressed his condolences for the tragic loss of American life in Libya and emphasized that Egypt would honor its obligation to ensure the safety of American personnel," according to the White House statement.

The Cairo incident was not nearly as bad as the violence in neighboring Libya, where an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi killed four Americans, including Stevens. A pro-al Qaeda group was to blame for that attack, according to sources tracking militant groups in the region.

In his statement, Morsy called on Egyptian diplomats in Washington "to take legal action against those people who seek to ruin relationships and discussions between people and countries."
Obama wants to continue to strengthen ECONOMIC partnership? Excuse me but I don't see any funds coming this way from Egypt. I only see us supporting THEIR economic needs. 

Then we have our people killed in Libya in the Acts of War committed against us there and what is the BIG news? Not that Obama has no clue how to deal with this but, of course he is very skilled at appearing on Talk Shows while the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is requesting a meeting to discuss what is going on the in Iran and the Middle east and the threats against Israel. Our ONLY Ally in that region where our country is being attacked and Obama Snubs him.  The Big news isn't that Obama is ineffectual as a Leader the big news is that Mitt Romney had something to say about it.  The news isn't what Romney said, NO, the BIG NEWS is that Romney Dared to say something against Obama's handling of this crisis.

And yes it is a Crisis... If you are not afraid of what this is leading to God bless you because I am scared Silly that we are in this crisis and the leader of the American People has not bothered to attend an intelligence meeting since September 5th.  Of course this falls in line with his lazy attitude about attending intelligence briefings.  Would you expect that our president would spend at least as much effort to make intelligence briefings as he does to play golf? Wouldn't you expect our President to at the very least be very diligent about potential threats during the week leading up to the anniversary of 9/11.  No... Not so much with this President.  

Here is his record of his interest in OUR interests.

The Government Accountability Institute, a new conservative investigative research organization, examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) -- the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times -- or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent -- falling to just over 38 percent. By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.

Obama makes me afraid... very afraid on so many levels in so many areas. 

Where will be attacked next? Because it is coming. Our enemies have no reason to fear us. The President has made sure of that.

ON BRINK OF WAR: OBAMA TOO BUSY FOR NETANYAHU, BUT NOT FOR LETTERMAN

ON BRINK OF WAR: OBAMA TOO BUSY FOR NETANYAHU, BUT NOT FOR LETTERMAN

I came across this article while working on a letter of Apology to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which I will post at a later time. Since there is so very much I feel we have to apologize for to Israel because of Obama's disgusting alliance with terrorists over our ally Israel. More on that later..

WITH WAR LOOMING, OBAMA REFUSES TO MEET WITH NETANYAHU AT U.N. MEETINGS, BUT MAKES TIME FOR DAVID LETTERMAN 

Joel C. Rosenberg

Signaling a new low in U.S.-Israeli relations -- especially troubling with a possible major war in the Middle East so close at hand -- President Obama turned down two possibilities for a personal meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli premier comes to the U.S. later this month. Obama aides say the President simply doesn't have time on his schedule for Netanyahu. The President reportedly will have time to appear on "The Late Show" with David Letterman while he's in New York, however. A Wall Street Journal editorial on Wednesday morning said the White House message to Israel seems to be, "You're on your own, pal." 

In some of his strongest comments to date (comments that struck me as suggesting the Israeli leader may be so fed up with the White House that he is to go it alone against Iran), Netanyahu told reporters on Tuesday that because the international community refuses to set "red lines" for Iran's nuclear program or even a deadline for diplomacy and economic sanctions to be effective or be terminated, the world has "no moral right" to tell the Israeli government it cannot take military action to defend her people. 

Tonight, at the opening of the 2012 Epicenter Conference, I will speak on the "State of the Epicenter," discuss the implications of these tensions between the American and Israeli leaders, and analyze how close Israel and Iran are to an actual war. The conference will be webcast live at 9pm eastern at Epicenter Conference. It will also be available for viewing on-demand any time day or night from anywhere in the world. 

ABC News reports: "An Israeli official told ABC News that Netanyahu's office requested a meeting with Obama but was told that because of the president's tight schedule it wouldn't be possible. The official admitted that with just a day and a half open, the window wasn't very big, although the official said the Israelis did offer to go to Washington if a meeting in New York was not possible. The meeting was requested when the trip was made official more than a week ago and was declined "in the last few days," according to the Israeli official. This will be the first time Netanyahu has visited the United States as prime minister and not met with Obama." 

"Netanyahu is traveling to the U.S. to attend the U.N. General Assembly. Obama is expected to address the UNGA on September 25, while Netanyahu will speak in New York on September 28," reports Ynet News. 

This is very disturbing behavior for an American President who says that America "will always have Israel's back" and claims Israel is one of America's "greatest allies." The President should always make time for an ally facing the growing threat of a nuclear holocaust. 

No Funding for Terror Backed Egypt | Radical Islam, Sign the Petition.

No Funding for Terror Backed Egypt | Radical Islam, American Center for Law and Justice ACLJ



Secretary of State Clinton is restoring $1.3 billion of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood, a group that harbors terrorists and has strong ties to radical Islam, controls Egypt’s Parliament and is now trying to take the Egyptian presidency.
An Egypt led by a group with such strong terrorist ties is a direct threat to Israel and is a threat to the United States interests in the Middle East. Join with the ACLJ in stopping our tax dollars from going to a terrorist supported Egypt.

Petition to Stop Funding a Terrorist-Supported Egypt

To: Secretary of State Clinton and Congress
Sending $1.3 billion of taxpayer money to an Egypt that is nearly controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood is not only dangerous but already is generating bi-partisan opposition in Congress. We can not send U.S. taxpayer dollars to a country that is emerging as a direct threat to Israel, has recently killed dozens of Christians in the streets, and held U.S. citizens against their will. Do not restore funding to Egypt until they are no longer a threat to their neighbors and support religious freedom for all.

9/11/2001

Today many will be remembering where they were and what they were doing. I am sure I will as well. But not here but not here. Here today, it isn't about me or how it impacted me.

It is about the Dead.

Today I remember those who died in those Towers, and in The Pentagon and on that field in Pennsylvania and all the first responders who died trying to save others and how it impacted their families and loved ones.

Sean Bielat for Congress -Rave

Sean Bielat for Congress



I received an email today from Sean Bielat, seeking donations. I had not heard of him so I did what I usually do and wish more people would. I started researching. I liked what I found. I believe he subscribes to our founders vision of those who SERVE US.  He doesn't look at serving in congress as a lifelong career but as a way to step up and serve. He is running against Joe Kennedy of the Kennedy Political Dynasty. I am sick to death of Political Dynasties. People who want to be elected not to go to congress and serve and then return home to be a working viable member of their community. No... The Kennedys go to DC to further their Political Washington Career as a Power seeking Politician. Not as a servant to the people. Testament look at Ed Kennedy, even after he killed a young girl while driving drunk preparing to cheat on his young wife he got a pass for the rest of his life. We DO NOT NEED another Kennedy. They just want Power to hold, Not to server you but to serve their family dynasty and their own ego and power.

Now I am next to broke, if you follow this blog at all will know that much about me, but I am going to send him 3.00. Even I can afford that. It is less than a tank of gas under Obama.

Here is his letter.
Dear Fellow American,

This will be the most watched Congressional race in the country this year.

Joseph P. Kennedy III is determined to revitalize the Kennedy dynasty by reclaiming what he believes is his family's rightful seat in Congress. To do so, he's using every family connection, their political clout and vast fortune. So far, he's received millions of dollars from the Kennedy clan and their Hollywood Liberal friends—and trust me, there will be more in the next few weeks!

The outcome of this race will determine whether true citizen legislators will have a voice in American politics, or whether they will be forever silenced by the elite political class that can afford to buy elections. This is why defeating young Joe Kennedy is critical to the future of this country.

People are scared and they want solutions and leadership, not entitlement and greed. With $16 trillion in debt, ObamaCare still intact, and a toxic business climate, voters are turning away from the liberal philosophy of bigger, more intrusive government. If the tide is ever going to turn back to fiscally conservative polices in Washington, this is the year.

Winning yesterday's primary with 73% of the vote shows that I am the candidate to beat young Joe Kennedy. But I need your help to counter the Kennedy fortune. So will you follow this link to contribute $25, $50, $100 or any amount to my campaign today? Kennedy just purchased over $300,000 worth of TV ads and your support today is critical to make sure our campaign can respond with a huge buy of our own.

People across the nation are rejecting the Big Brother philosophy that says government knows best and should dictate how you and I live. Obama, Kennedy and their friends may think their government is the only thing we all belong too—but we know that's not true. We're individuals with the freedom to do as we choose. We don't need government to tell us what's best!

But time is running short to keep Joe Kennedy out of Congress. Polls show this race is very close and your immediate contribution of $25, $50 $100 or more will make a huge difference. That's why I'm asking you to follow this link to give generously to my campaign today.

As a Major in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, I believe in a legislator's commitment to protect our personal freedom and liberty. As a businessman, I understand that America's $16 trillion debt is going to destroy this country unless we act now. More importantly, I understand that after 4 years of failed stimulus, crony capitalism, and job killing regulations, America is at a tipping point. It's time to elect leaders who'll roll up their sleeves and make the tough decisions. I will, but I can promise you Joe Kennedy won't.

The stakes couldn't be higher. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Sean Bielat

P.S. When I win, I will stand-up relentlessly to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi's agenda of bigger, more intrusive government. But I urgently need your help to make sure my campaign has the resources to get on the air to counter Kennedy's $300,000 TV buy. Please follow this link and make a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or any amount you can afford to help me defeat Joe Kennedy today.



It's a Miracle by Bill Whittle - Rave for Mr. Whittle

This morning I received an email from "Aunt Susan". You know Aunt Susan, I often relay information she has shared with me. I didn't know who Bill Whittle was. My loss, who knows what I have missed but I will be researching more about him. Suffice it to say, his message in this video tells me all I need to know to know I want to know more! I can't recommend this video enough. Thanks Aunt Susan and Thanks Bill Whittle.

You’ll Need an ID to Prove You’re a Democrat but Not to Vote : Political Outcast

You’ll Need an ID to Prove You’re a Democrat but Not to Vote : Political Outcast
 by 


You can tell a lot by the motives of someone by looking at how consistent they are. In order to get into the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, you will need an ID. Why can’t Democrat voters be trusted to enter a convention that’s for Democrats? Why would they lie about who they are?

A Democrat official will most likely say that IDs are necessary because of party crashers. Maybe some Republicans, Libertarians, or Independents will try to come in and disrupt the convention. This is a very good argument for the necessity of IDs for the convention. But it leaves a couple of things unanswered.
First, isn’t it a hardship on some people to get an ID? Isn’t this a standard argument sued by Liberals on why it’s unconstitutional improper to ask for an ID at the voting booth? If it’s not a hardship in one place (the convention), then it’s not a hardship in another place (the voting booth).

Second, the very nature of an election is to get your guy elected. Some people are unscrupulous in that they will do anything to ensure their candidate wins. This will mean sabotaging an election by voting multiple times or using the names and addresses of dead people to flood the ballot box with extra votes.

“An anti-voter fraud group says it has discovered 30,000 dead folks registered to vote across North Carolina. The group collected the names by comparing death records from the past decade to voter rolls; it says the figure would have been bigger had the group had access to death records in neighboring states.”

While not all these dead voters’ names are implicated in voter fraud, it’s not beyond the realm of possibilities that they could be. Without a proper ID, how would anyone know if a person was using a deceased registered voter as a way to boost the number of votes for one political party over the other? They wouldn’t.

The following is from the Charlotte Observer:
“Mainly, what we’re concerned about is the potential [for fraud],” said project director Jay DeLancy. “Since there is no voter ID law in North Carolina, anybody can walk in and claim to be anyone else.”
Liberals are so intent on blocking voter ID requirements because they know that their fellow-liberals are some of the biggest voter-cheats. They wouldn’t cash a check given to them by someone claiming to be the person the check is made out to, but they’re willing to look the other way for the potential of voter fraud in order put people in office who write checks to keep the wealth distributors in office.

I Want a Job! - Ranting Ramble

The labor market has shrunk from 65.7% to just 58.6% in President Obama’s first term.  The U6 “real unemployment” number now sits at 14.9%.  Black unemployment is at 14.4%.  Unemployment for young college graduates is 16.8%.
In 2008 I was working at a job I loved, living in a city I loved. In 2009, I was out of work and unable to afford to pay rent and live in New York City.  I was making a decent living doing what I loved and then Obama came into Office. Is he directly responsible? I think so. When the the job I was working downsized I immediately sought out a new position as an Executive Assistant. For the first time in my life I was unable to find work. ANY Kind of work that would enable me to keep my apartment.  It wasn't that I was picky or thought I was too good for some sort of work.  I have always believed I am not defined by my job, rather I am defined by HOW I do my job. But there was nothing that was enough to pay rent and continue to live in the city I loved.

Thank God for my family. I gave away everything I owned because I simply couldn't afford to move it somewhere. Granted it wasn't much, I had lost everything I owned during Katrina in 2005 and what I had replaced was in storage in northern LA.  Times had been really tough after Katrina and I had been thrilled by the opportunity to move back to New York City again and work as an executive assistant at a major bank.  I felt blessed that my life was back on track and then came the beginning of Obama's blight on our country. No matter how bad the economy had been before I still was always able to find a job. I am an excellent employee. I have a work ethic that has always served me and my employers well. But there just wasn't anything to grab hold of. So my wonderful Aunt offered for me to come live with her in West VA...

It took almost six months but I did find a job at $9.17 an hour working for AT&T at one of their call centers. However, it was still not enough to move into my own apartment and while I continued to try to find employment in a position where I could put to use my 30 plus years of experience the economy was even worse by then.

I really don't want much. I just want to be able to NOT live off of someone else. To have my own small apartment and be independent and not a burden to anyone.  I did NOT in any of that time claim unemployment or welfare or foodstamps or any other government subsidy.  Am I hard-headed and prideful, perhaps but it just seems wrong to fall prey to living off the government. I am healthy, I am an excellent worker, I have a value in the workplace. There is NO good reason for someone else's sweat to be drained away to support me... Except, that is exactly what is happening... My family pays the price not my fellow citizens and it is hard to bear at times.

My younger sister and her amazing husband live outside Richmond, VA.  A bigger job market than a small town in West VA. They offered their home and help so over a year ago I moved here in the hopes of finding a job that paid a living wage. Meaning a wage where a person is able to rent a small apartment, feed themselves and not drain anyone else.  Almost a year passed by before I was able to find anything and it doesn't pay a living wage but it does pay enough that my sister and her husband are not paying my car insurance, and storage fees for the few things that I own still in storage in LA. They did cover this for almost exactly a full year.  Now I am a hostess and bartender for a tavern in Colonial Williamsburg at 10.00 an hour  and only 30 hours a week. It is a service bar position so it isn't supplemented by tips. It isn't enough to rent an apartment.  I also drive 62 miles each way just to go to this job but I was not about to turn down any job. And with the crazy increase in gas that costs me 100.00 a week in gas.  My bi-weekly pay check is usually around 525.00 minus the 200.00 for gas I am left with around 325.00 or 750.00 a month.  And I feel blessed to have that job. BUT...

I want a position that pays me a living wage... I WANT to work and work hard.  In the four years Obama has been in office I went from making 70,000 when he came into office to being unemployed for two of the four years he has been in office and underemployed for the other two.

I am joined in this by 28 million other Americans. If you are one of the 28 Million Americans like me who Is NOT doing better under Obama, or if you know or love one of us please help, not by paying higher taxes but rather....

Please vote Romney/Ryan in November.

I really want a position that pays a living wage and to not be homeless and being a burden on those I love.

Romney: What America needs is jobs, lots of jobs | Video | Fox News



Romney: What America needs is jobs, lots of jobs | Video | Fox News

If you Missed His speech you can watch it here.


The Day After the RNC - RAVE - I am inspired and have Hope again.

This morning I feel good.  For the first time in a very very long time I feel like the Republican Party is speaking for ME. Following are some emails from friends and family started by my Aunt Susan.



Romney's Speech
8/31/2012 12:12 AM

WOW, Gov. Romney's speech inspired me...he certainly is not Winston Churchill, but who is! I liked what I heard and trust these men to bring America back to the feeling of "Morning in America."

Love to All,

I thought the same Titante... a platform of leading towards creating,
building, developing and producing new products and technology could mean
the best years ever if properly developed and encouraged by government, not
throttled and demonized as 'the enemy'...

THOSE PULLING THE WAGON ARE NOT THE ENEMY OF THOSE RIDING IN THE WAGON!

RE: Romney's Speech

I taped to listen to later but the portion I heard did inspire me. It felt great to look forward to a promising future. It has gotten so depressing lately. I think his comments about actively perusing a domestic energy policy alone could really invigorate our economy. Seems like tons of money sitting under the ground/water waiting for us to come and get it?

Personally, I sure am getting tired of working retail....

RE: Romney's Speech

While he isn't Winston Churchill I was also inspired by Mitt. However; I
have to say, I was thrilled to see so many of the Republican party speakers
that also inspired me and made me clap.

For too many years I think too many RINO's have been what we have
had to support because they were better than the Leftist Liberals.
However, for the first time in many years I felt like we have several coming
through that give me hope. Marco Rubio 2020!


I cheered Nicky Haley. Chris Christie had me nodding my head and Paul Ryan's speech was better than you could hope for in a Vice-President. Ryan is a vice-president that should something happen I
would feel secure having him step forward. That scenario hasn't been true in, well I can't remember in my lifetime a Vice-President that I felt so strongly
is as capable as the President.

 Good God, can you imagine Biden at the Wheel?

As always Condi spoke with a 'set' I wish more male politicians had and that the current president will never have. He has Hubris but that is not the same thing.

Thanks go to Mimi for recording it all so I could watch it with them after work. I am looking forward to spending time watching the speeches I missed.

Go ahead, Make My Day... Vote Romney - Ryan this November.

p.s. I am putting these Emails up on my blog. Don't worry I am removing
people's last names. Anybody else?

Love to all,

Renee

Commit 2 Vote 2012



Imagine the impact Americans of faith can have on the future of our nation, the character of its leadership, and the health of its families if we all applied biblical principles to every aspect of our lives - including committing to vote.





Americans are blessed to have the right to be involved in our system of government – but that right comes with a responsibility: participation.
For millions of people in other parts of the world, voting is just a dream. Still, many Americans with the right to vote are not acting on that right.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as many as 29% of citizens were not registered to vote in 2008 – that’s 60 million people! More than one-third of eligible voting citizens did not vote in the last presidential election.
As Christ’s representatives on earth, Christians have a mandate to be the “salt and light” in our culture (Matthew 5:13-16). Since this is a presidential election year, we have the opportunity to positively impact the direction of our country, the men and women who lead it, and the policies they enact.
Will you commit to register – and to vote – your values on November 6?

Top 10 questionable tactics from the Obama campaign

Top 10 questionable tactics from the Obama campaign


By: Human Events         
7/21/2012 07:19 AM



The president will say anything to get re-elected and his strategy includes this list of outright falsehoods, distortions, smears and lies.

1. Make wild charges

President Obama’s campaign team’s incessant attacks on Romney’s record at Bain Capital are a textbook example of trying to divert attention by exaggerating and distorting their opponent’s record. With the assistance of the mainstream media, President Obama is trying to make Romney look like the second coming of Simon Legree, with his campaign going so far as to accuse Romney of committing felonies.

2. Lie about opponents

At this stage in the race, desperate Democrats are starting to make things up. At a Democratic fundraiser in Seattle, Vice President Joe Biden tried to slip an outright falsehood past the crowd. Citing efforts in several states to cleanse voter rolls of the dead and felonious, Biden said, “Republicans have changed the law so you get arrested if you do vote.”

3. Play the blame game

“The buck stops here” is not exactly the motto of the Barack Obama presidency as he continually tries to shift the blame for his poor record to others. The moribund economy and lack of job creation is the result of the Bush tax cuts, the Arab Spring, the Japanese tsunami, greedy Wall Street bankers, uncooperative Republicans and ATM machines.

4. Class warfare

Even some Democrats are beginning to wonder about the president’s incessant class warfare remarks. He demonizes Wall Street, bankers, corporate America and the wealthy—sending record amounts of campaign donations into the coffers of Mitt Romney. But that’s all the ‘hope and change’ candidate from 2008 has left: an appeal to the cynicism of the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

5. Deny, deny, deny

One tried-and-true campaign tactic is denial. Take Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s view on the economy. Instead of acknowledging the depth of economic pain that still exists for millions of Americans, Wasserman Schultz said, “I am pretty happy about 28 straight months of job growth in the private sector.” Some job growth, with an 8.2 percent unemployment rate that shows no sign of abating.

6. Pander to special interests

President Obama is the master at appealing to the collection of special interest groups that has become the Democratic Party. Promise to support same-sex marriage for the gay lobby, stop the Keystone pipeline for the environmentalists, give Hispanics immigration relief, use the race card whenever possible to energize blacks, scare women about contraception and give sweetheart deals to Big Labor.

7. Attack the messenger

No better way to deflect from your own lack of accomplishments than to blame the messenger and President Obama’s favorite bogeyman is Fox News. Recently on the campaign trail, the president said, “So just in case some of your friends or neighbors or Uncle Jim is a little stubborn, has been watching Fox News, if he thinks that somehow I raised taxes, let’s just be clear, we’ve lowered taxes for middle class families.” Not quite.

8. Play the race card

In liberal land, the contempt of Congress vote on Attorney General Eric Holder was really a way for evil Republicans to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act. A new liberal group called “The Message” made a YouTube video, saying that Romney is so white he makes “Wonder Bread look like pumpernickel.” The president often aids and abets the divisiveness, even setting up a national campaign organization, “African Americans for Obama.”

9. Run against George W. Bush

All through his presidency, President Obama has blamed his predecessor for all that was going wrong during his own administration and loved to tell audiences about the mess he inherited. Now, by linking Romney to Bush, he can run against a more unpopular figure. Vice President Joe Biden opened that door in a speech calling Romney “George Bush on steroids.”

10. Create phony issues

In order to scare single women to the voting booth, President Obama and his team wants to pretend that Republicans want to roll back the clock to another era. Republicans “have a social policy right out of the 1950s,” says Joe Biden. So the campaign twists its own strong-armed tactics against religious groups into a fake attack by Republicans on contraceptives. Then it makes a campaign ad that lies about Romney’s abortion policy and, voila, you suddenly have a “war on women.”
