Obama Campaign Wages War on Troops : Political Outcast

Obama Campaign Wages War on Troops : Political Outcast

Overseas troops often find it difficult to vote. For one thing, they can’t just drop their rifle and mail in their ballot especially if they’re stationed in a war zone, which is pretty much the entire Middle East. And not only that, since every state has a different law regarding absentee ballots, filling them out properly can be confusing. And if they don’t arrive in the States in time, they can’t be legally counted. During the last presidential election, only 20 percent of a 2.5 million-member military were able to vote successfully by absentee ballot. Just two years ago, it dropped to 5 percent. This is why some states have laws that accommodate members of the military. Ohio has a law that allows three extra days for them to mail in their early voting ballots. The Obama campaign, the DNC and the Ohio Democratic Party have filed suit against Ohio because they say this law “disenfranchises” other voters and that it’s not “fair.”

Harry Reid - No Brain.

Nuff Said.

This is one of the many accusations that Harry Reid needs to prove is not true I doubt seriously he would be able to. I think he is just plugged into Obama's brain whose brain is plugged into something dark and scary.

Harry Reid - Liar? Pedophile? Tax Cheat? Owns Brothels In Nevada?

Clearly it is permissible to accuse anyone of any crime with impunity. Harry Reid, despicable excuse for a human is stating that Mitt Romney has committed a crime - Tax Evasion. He has stated this without a shred of evidence or proof or any substantive evidence. He apparently is not required to have anything other than a vicious vindictive nature to  a take to the airwaves and state that another citizen of the United States is committing a crime and the liberals take up the hue and cry along with the News Media labeling an honest man as a Tax Cheat.

Is it possible to bring civil and or criminal charges against Harry Reid for this behavior? I don't know. Is it legal to accuse someone of committing a crime knowing full well that what you are broadcasting is false. And then call for the innocent person to PROVE that your false claims are false?

Well, Let's see... I was in the grocery store last week and I overheard someone say their companion that they had proof that Harry Reid is part owner in a brothel in Nevada and that Bob Becktel is a regular customer along with Rahm Emmanuel. And I overheard them say that Harry Reid makes sure there are plenty of young men on hand for Rahm when he visits. Who knew that Rahm was Gay... He really should come out of the closet he would be big with the Gay community after his stance against ChikFila... I think Rahm is missing a great opportunity here.  Hopefully some of those boys at Harry Reid's brothel will come forward and prove this is true. Unless of course it isn't true but Harry Reid will have to PROVE it isn't true.

And then, there is the person who knows a person who saw a piece of paper fluttering along the sidewalk and being a good citizen picked it up to throw away and it was an email from Hillary Clinton to an editor at Newsweek discussing how Hillary was leaking Top Secret classified information to the press and how thrilled she was Obama was getting the blame.  Now I don't know if that bit of email was really from Hillary to some unnamed editor at Newsweek but someone said that someone told them they saw it. But it could have been that way. I guess we will really never know until Hillary PROVES it wasn't so.

On another front I was told by someone that someone told them that they overheard a phone conversation  between who they thought was Eric Holder and Obama going over what their next plan of attack against the Second Amendment would be now that they had to back off on Fast and Furious.  Of course, I am sure that they will be happy to PROVE this isn't true by revealing all the documents they are hiding behind Executive Order to PROVE that this isn't true.

Now, I am sure that I don't have a thing to worry about because someone else somewhere else said these things and I don't know who they are or what their connection with the truth may be and certainly None of the people that have these allegations being spread about them think there is anything wrong with having lies spread about them by some shadowy someone somewhere.  If Harry Reid can do it why can't others.

What did you HEAR about Harry Reid? Did you hear he was a pedophile? Did you hear the one where he once drove his car into a woman with a baby while drunk? Did you hear that Harry Reid was a... Fill in the blanks... Clearly you can say anything. Harry is leading the way showing you how it is done.

Petition Opposing Obama's Illegal Fast-Track Amnesty Efforts

Grassfire Nation - Sign the Petition

In recent weeks, the Obama Administration has taken two dramatic actions to create "backdoor" amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. First, by Executive Order, The Obama Administration announced a policy that allows hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to gain a "Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver" putting them on a fast track to legal status. Then, on June 15, the administration decided (without Congress) that illegal aliens with legal relatives (spouse, parent or child) in this country can claim "extreme hardship" and thus file for the Amnesty Waiver without having to leave the country.

From the beginning of the illegal immigration debate, Grassfire Nation has been on the leading edge in spearheading grassroots efforts to educate and mobilize citizens to action -- to protect and preserve our sovereignty and security.

These latest "backdoor" amnesty efforts by President Obama have drawn harsh criticism from key members of Congress who believe his actions are unconstitutional and Grassfire Nation is moving rapidly to mobilize an additional 50,000 citizens who oppose Obama's Amnesty Actions and support legal and legislative efforts to stop the unmitigated flow of illegal alien traffic into our nation.

The Petition States:
As a concerned citizen, I oppose the Obama Administration's efforts through Executive Order to fast-track illegal aliens toward legal status. These efforts by Obama are an affront to our Constitution and will weaken immigration law while creating a fast-track to legal status for law-breaking illegal aliens. To this end, I support state's rights to secure their borders, as well as all legal and legislative efforts to force Obama to abide by the established laws of our nation.  

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water


(NaturalNews) Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I'm about to share with you takes the assault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

As bizarre as it sounds, laws restricting property owners from "diverting" water that falls on their own homes and land have been on the books for quite some time in many Western states. Only recently, as droughts and renewed interest in water conservation methods have become more common, have individuals and business owners started butting heads with law enforcement over the practice of collecting rainwater for personal use.

Check out this YouTube video of a news report out of Salt Lake City, Utah, about the issue. It's illegal in Utah to divert rainwater without a valid water right, and Mark Miller of Mark Miller Toyota, found this out the hard way.

After constructing a large rainwater collection system at his new dealership to use for washing new cars, Miller found out that the project was actually an "unlawful diversion of rainwater." Even though it makes logical conservation sense to collect rainwater for this type of use since rain is scarce in Utah, it's still considered a violation of water rights which apparently belong exclusively to Utah's various government bodies.

"Utah's the second driest state in the nation. Our laws probably ought to catch up with that," explained Miller in response to the state's ridiculous rainwater collection ban.

Salt Lake City officials worked out a compromise with Miller and are now permitting him to use "their" rainwater, but the fact that individuals like Miller don't actually own the rainwater that falls on their property is a true indicator of what little freedom we actually have here in the U.S. (Access to the rainwater that falls on your own property seems to be a basic right, wouldn't you agree?)

Outlawing rainwater collection in other states

Utah isn't the only state with rainwater collection bans, either. Colorado and Washington also have rainwater collection restrictions that limit the free use of rainwater, but these restrictions vary among different areas of the states and legislators have passed some laws to help ease the restrictions.

In Colorado, two new laws were recently passed that exempt certain small-scale rainwater collection systems, like the kind people might install on their homes, from collection restrictions.

Prior to the passage of these laws, Douglas County, Colorado, conducted a study on how rainwater collection affects aquifer and groundwater supplies. The study revealed that letting people collect rainwater on their properties actually reduces demand from water facilities and improves conservation.

Personally, I don't think a study was even necessary to come to this obvious conclusion. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that using rainwater instead of tap water is a smart and useful way to conserve this valuable resource, especially in areas like the West where drought is a major concern.

Additionally, the study revealed that only about three percent of Douglas County's precipitation ended up in the streams and rivers that are supposedly being robbed from by rainwater collectors. The other 97 percent either evaporated or seeped into the ground to be used by plants.

This hints at why bureaucrats can't really use the argument that collecting rainwater prevents that water from getting to where it was intended to go. So little of it actually makes it to the final destination that virtually every household could collect many rain barrels worth of rainwater and it would have practically no effect on the amount that ends up in streams and rivers.

It's all about control, really

As long as people remain unaware and uninformed about important issues, the government will continue to chip away at the freedoms we enjoy. The only reason these water restrictions are finally starting to change for the better is because people started to notice and they worked to do something to reverse the law.

Even though these laws restricting water collection have been on the books for more than 100 years in some cases, they're slowly being reversed thanks to efforts by citizens who have decided that enough is enough.

Because if we can't even freely collect the rain that falls all around us, then what, exactly, can we freely do? The rainwater issue highlights a serious overall problem in America today: diminishing freedom and increased government control.

Today, we've basically been reprogrammed to think that we need permission from the government to exercise our inalienable rights, when in fact the government is supposed to derive its power from us. The American Republic was designed so that government would serve the People to protect and uphold freedom and liberty. But increasingly, our own government is restricting people from their rights to engage in commonsense, fundamental actions such as collecting rainwater or buying raw milk from the farmer next door.

Today, we are living under a government that has slowly siphoned off our freedoms, only to occasionally grant us back a few limited ones under the pretense that they're doing us a benevolent favor.

Fight back against enslavement

As long as people believe their rights stem from the government (and not the other way around), they will always be enslaved. And whatever rights and freedoms we think we still have will be quickly eroded by a system of bureaucratic power that seeks only to expand its control.

Because the same argument that's now being used to restrict rainwater collection could, of course, be used to declare that you have no right to the air you breathe, either. After all, governments could declare that air to be somebody else's air, and then they could charge you an "air tax" or an "air royalty" and demand you pay money for every breath that keeps you alive.

Think it couldn't happen? Just give it time. The government already claims it owns your land and house, effectively. If you really think you own your home, just stop paying property taxes and see how long you still "own" it. Your county or city will seize it and then sell it to pay off your "tax debt." That proves who really owns it in the first place... and it's not you!

How about the question of who owns your body? According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark office, U.S. corporations and universities already own 20% of your genetic code. Your own body, they claim, is partially the property of someone else.

So if they own your land, your water and your body, how long before they claim to own your air, your mind and even your soul?

Unless we stand up against this tyranny, it will creep upon us, day after day, until we find ourselves totally enslaved by a world of corporate-government collusion where everything of value is owned by powerful corporations -- all enforced at gunpoint by local law enforcement.

Sol Alinsky - Rules for Radicals. If you haven't read it you should.

Again a smart bit of advice from Aunt Susan. If you haven't read Sol Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals" please do!!! Be prepared to have your eyes opened and yes, be afraid of what is going on in America today.

The rules

• RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
• RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
• RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
• RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
• RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
• RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
• RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
• RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
• RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
• RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
• RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
• RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Baby Boomers should not be ignored. Taking back our country in 2012 - Rave

I received this in an email that is going around from Aunt Susan. I can always depend upon her for smart, savvy, and sincere advice as well as amazing insights into almost any topic. From canning to understanding what motivates people from ages 6 to her fellow Baby Boomers. Like many of us she has come to her beliefs from having experienced life. She doesn't parrot what some pundit is whistling up her skirts. She considers the information SHE researches and then comes to her own conclusions about topics. I respect her. I respect her life. She is a Baby Boomer (I am as well) and Baby Boomers have amazing power in this nation of ours.  The Obamanation has foolishly discarded us as a non event unless it is to try to use scare tactics against us with ads showing a Paul Ryan look alike pushing a wheelchair bound granny over a cliff. They believe we are feeble farts. That is their mistake. Consider the following.

1. 77 million American children were born between 1945 and 1964. The group represent a cohort that is significant on for its size alone. Boomers comprise nearly 27% of the US population. The Baby Boomers are the dominant generational group in American society.


2. Even more importantly than the sheer size of the group are the demographics. The age range of the group places them in senior leadership positions in society, Business, Government, and family relationships. The group holds an outsized percentage of the key decision makers in society. We are the dominant leadership age group in American society. We are the parents, and grandparents of the younger generations in society and we are the children of the already retired senior population.


3. We grew up at a time when America emerged as a super power. Our enemies were the socialists and communists. WE recognize socialism and communism for what it is.  Many of us have read Sol Alinsky's 'Rules For Radicals' and recognize what game plan Obama and his handlers are taking their strategy from. 


So, I will end with this email that is going around the internet and ask you to share it with others, they don't have to be Baby Boomers. 

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. 

We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. 
Yes, we lived those days.

We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam .. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. 
We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America .

Yes, we are older and slower these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us..

We took oaths to defend America against all enemies,foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."

You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2012 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2012 we're going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade."

Footnote:
This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county.

Can you feel the ground shaking??? It's not an earthquake, it is a STAMPEDE. 

1001 Reasons to Vote Against Obama - By Kyle Becker

I happened upon this gem today. I am not going to list his 1001 reasons however, I recommend you go to the article and read it yourself. But - I am going to put some of them here to tease you a bit.

Kyle Becker - 1001 Reasons Not to vote for Obama

Kyle Becker blogs at RogueGovernment, and can be followed on Twitter as @RogueOperator1. He writes freelance for several publications, including American Thinker, Misfit Politics, and OwntheNarrative, and is a regular commentator on the late night talk shows at OTNN. He holds an M.A. in International Studies and is an advanced PhD. student in Political Science.

Here are some I plucked. Keep in mind not all of the reasons he states are 'SERIOUS' but that doesn't make them less true or of less value. Some are just silly but not dishonest.

Reason 185. Before Obama gave a Labor Day speech, Teamster’s president James Hoffa Jr. said, “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong.” Obama later said nothing about the incendiary language.


Reason 188. Obama infamously said of Christian conservatives, “It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Reason 221. It is a fact that President Obama has added more debt to the United States budget than all other presidents combined.

Reason 236. While selling Obamacare, the president said that the proposal would eliminate half a billion dollars in Medicare waste and fraud. Not only is this impossible, due to the way the figure was based on double-counting, but why would such waste and fraud be allowed to continue regardless of if Obamacare were passed?

Reason 251. The unemployment rate for age 20-24 is officially 14.4%, far above the 8.5% figure used in government statistics.

Reason 295. As the USA Today related, Obama once said, “Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality.” This is obviously at odds with reality. Not only is Islam itself bigoted against women and homosexuals, Muslims once sold millions of blacks (and whites) into slavery

Reason 301. In August 2009, President Obama exhorts citizens to “snitch” on one another regarding any supposed lies or disinformation regarding Obamacare. His website, “FLAG,” actually led to blog-tracking for information related to the program.

Reason 325. Countless times, Democrats and left-leaning organizations like the NAACP, have denounced Obama’s opponents as “racist.” The president has never sought to correct his party’s obvious tactic to delegitimize valid objections to his policies.

Reason 921. Obama has been touted as one of the smartest presidents ever, with little record to verify it, and without any demonstrable results to prove it

Reason 340. In 2009, Congressman Joe Wilson famously yelled “You lie!” to President Obama, who had just stated that criticism that the healthcare bill would fund medicine for illegal immigrants was false. It turns out that Joe Wilson was right. Medical organizations that receive funding from Obamacare willnot check for immigration status.




That's All I have time for today... More tomorrow.

I Built This Video. Rave

Bristol Palin together with Business owners across the county demonstrate What THEY Built. Obama, certainly can't claim he ever built anything or created anything other than one of the most destructive presidencies our country has ever had to suffer through. Thank you to Business owners across our country for your efforts. You are what makes our country great. By the People,for The People, of The People. NOT by the government, for the government....

Are You a Racist?

I received an email from a reader that I wanted to share. It is a simple truth. Since Obama started is campaign for the Presidency a huge portion of the American people have been branded Racist for the simple reason they don't agree with Obama's political views. Apparently now in The United States of America you are a racist if you disagree with anything Obama supports. Even if you agree with some of what he has to say but disagree with one thing you are a racist. If you believe that someone who was presented to the American People as "Brilliant" should back that up with his college transcripts. It doesn't matter what it is, if you don't like something about Obama, you are a racist, if you don't agree with him you are a racist. It doesn't even matter if you are black, if you don't agree with Obama, You Are A Racist. Thanks to Aunt Susan from West VA for your letter.

Here is something that is so amazing, the Obama administration can call one of cleanest men to ever run for office a felon, yet we can't talk about the things Obama claimed he did in his own book because if we say anything about his past or how he has run the country in the ground...we'll be called racist! It certainly is a different time in America when you can't talk about a candidate's past or record without fear of being called racist!

Obama's Gaffes. - Rave

Sometimes we just need a little fun.
