Obama To Egyptian Christians: Stop Protesting Muslim Brotherhood : Freedom Outpost
As millions of Egyptians take to the streets in protest against President and co-conspirator in the Benghazi attacks Mohamed Morsi, one American journalist has already been killed and no doubt there is much we are not being told. However, American supporter of terrorism Barack Obama, via U.S Ambassador Anne Patterson, has told Egyptian Christians to not engage in protesting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This comes on the heels of him sending US troops to Egypt to quash protests against the Muslim Brotherhood.
Read the full story.... to me it is chilling.... and our tax dollars are supporting The Muslim brotherhood who has declared America to be its enemy....

30 Pieces of Silver called Republican Senators
The following 30 'Republicans' had the opportunity to Kill the amnesty bill before it went anywhere. Instead of killing the Gang-of-Eight Amnesty bill they voted to "debate" it.
Surely all of them know Harry Reid well enough to know he would do exactly what he is doing. Rushing it to a vote without any true debate as early as next week.
So, to me, each of these men represent 30 pieces of silver.
Alexander (R-TN), Ayotte (R-NH), Blunt (R-MO), Burr (R-NC), Chambliss (R-GA), Chiesa (R-NJ), Coats (R-IN), Cochran (R-MS), Coburn (R-OK), Collins (R-ME), Corker (R-TN), Cornyn (R-TX), Fischer (R-NE), Flake (R-AZ), Graham (R-SC), Hatch (R-UT), Heller (R-NV), Hoeven (R-ND), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Johnson (R-WI), McConnell (R-KY), Moran (R-KS), Murkowski (R-AK), Paul (R-KY), Portman (R-OH), Rubio (R-FL), Thune (R-SD), Toomey (R-PA), Wicker (R-MS).
It still isn't too late. Call your Senators and make sure they know exactly how you feel. Call the thirty as well.
Here is a link to find their contact information. Contact your Senator
Please let me remind you they could have KILLED the bill with just 41 Senators. I know David Vitter of LA voted against this. I just have to contact the idiot Mary Landrieu who is a democrat and let her know my feelings. I will say one positive thing about her. When I write her I don't get a form letter back. She actually responds to my specific issue.
As far as the 30 pieces of Silver called Senators....

Numerous opportunities missed to protect 'first' white honour killing victim - Telegraph
This cancer is spreading quickly and it's coming here too. Notice how the newspaper refers to the Pakistani muslim murderer as Asian so as not to offend muslims.
Numerous opportunities missed to protect 'first' white honour killing victim - Telegraph
Numerous opportunities missed to protect 'first' white honour killing victim
A white teenage mother was brutally murdered by her Asian boyfriend for bringing shame on his family after the authorities missed numerous opportunities to shield her from harm, a review has found.By Sam Marsden3:26PM BST 29 May 2012
Laura Wilson, 17, who has been described as Britain’s first known white honour killing victim, was killed by Ashtiaq Asghar after she told his relatives about their affair.
She may have been subjected to sexual grooming by British Pakistani men from her early teens, and when she was 16 became pregnant by Asghar’s friend, Ishaq Hussain.
Miss Wilson was “almost invisible” to some support services and there were “numerous missed opportunities” to protect her and her four-month-old daughter, a serious case review concluded.
The report highlighted areas of “considerable concern” but found her murder could not have been prevented by the agencies involved.
Asghar was told he would serve at least 17-and-a-half years behind bars after he pleaded guilty to murdering Miss Wilson in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in October 2010.

14 Year Old Arrested For Wearing NRA Shirt May Go To Jail - Our Children are under Attack by our Government.
This isn't the first time I have had my panties in a bunch and been raring to rant.... but I as before I couldn't do it better than Dean Garrison.
Across our Nation our children are under attack on many levels. It isn't only the poor child who was 'interrogated' by school officials to the point the poor 5 year old child wet his pants for bringing a toy 'cowboy' style cap gun to school. The little one got suspended for 10 days for this grievous action. Added to that the truly frightening part is his parents were not called in to stand for their child during this interrogation. Read more about this at The Blaze.
Remember the child I wrote about months ago who was suspended for wearing a Rosary because it could be perceived as being 'gang' related?
Our children are being denied the basic freedoms every American Citizen is entitled to. They are not allowed to pray in school and yet many schools allow Muslim Children to not wear the standardized uniforms but can wear burkhas instead because heaven forbid they are denied THEIR religious freedoms Our children are being programed to "Toe the Party Line". They are being PROGRAMED while at school. Parents, please be vigilant and speak with your children EVERY day asking them what they were taught in school that day. What were they told to 'believe'. You are the only one that can protect your children from this government that is running amuck on both sides of the aisle. Do you want to wake up one day and to sound of Jackboots marching up your walkway then pounding on your door to arrest YOU for something your child has been told to report to 'officials'. Because if you think we can't go there get your head out of the sand and look around... We are all under attack. Starting with our constitution and then ourselves personally. Did you use your phone today? Who was listening?
The young man who Mr. Garrison writes about was not 'toeing the party anti-gun line' So now they want him to stand trial and even perhaps serve jail time. I ask you this - Had he been wearing a T-Shirt that said Allahu Akbar in english or arabic would they have had the balls to attack him? Or would they be too afraid to touch that sensitive subject where we are not allowed to offend muslims?

14 Year Old Arrested For Wearing NRA Shirt May Go To Jail : Freedom Outpost
by Dean Garrison
What kind of a system puts a 14 year old kid in jail for a t-shirt? This has to be one of the most bizarre cases of the year. Jared Marcum was arrested at Logan Middle School back in April. His only apparent crime seems to be in his choice of wardrobe for the day. Fox News reported on April 23rd:
The teen’s lawyer, Ben White, says school administrators maintain that Marcum disrupted the educational process. He says Marcum was exercising his right to free speech and wasn’t disruptive.
Logan police arrested Marcum at the school last Thursday after he refused a teacher’s order to remove the shirt. White says prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine whether to file charges.

What kind of a system puts a 14 year old kid in jail for a t-shirt? This has to be one of the most bizarre cases of the year. Jared Marcum was arrested at Logan Middle School back in April. His only apparent crime seems to be in his choice of wardrobe for the day. Fox News reported on April 23rd:
The teen’s lawyer, Ben White, says school administrators maintain that Marcum disrupted the educational process. He says Marcum was exercising his right to free speech and wasn’t disruptive.
Logan police arrested Marcum at the school last Thursday after he refused a teacher’s order to remove the shirt. White says prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine whether to file charges.
Marcum has said that he was arrested on charges of disrupting an educational process and obstructing an officer, though White said Monday that the Logan County prosecutor’s office is reviewing the case to decide whether to proceed.
Marcum wore the same shirt to school Monday. It displays the NRA logo and a hunting rifle.
Other students across Logan County wore similar shirts, which display the NRA logo and a hunting rifle, to school in a show of support for 14-year-old Jared Marcum, said his lawyer Ben White.
This is one of those cases where you would think that common sense would eventually prevail. You would think that arresting officers, their superiors and prosecutors would have eventually come to the conclusion that this was a mistake. Oh no. Not in Logan County West Virginia. They not only arrested this juvenile, they now intend to prosecute him. Local CBS affiliate WTRF reports:
Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.
A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that’s the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with its obstructing an officer charge against him.
“Me, I’m more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we’re going to get through this,” Jared’s father Allen Lardieri said. ”I don’t think it should have ever gotten this far.”
The Logan County Police Department initially claimed that the at-the-time 8th grade Logan Middle School student was arrested for disturbing the education process, obstructing an officer and Lardieri says that officers even went as far as threatening to charge Jared with making terroristic threats.
“In my view of the facts, Jared didn’t do anything wrong,” Ben White, Jared’s attorney said. ”I think Officer Adkins could have done something differently.”
Do you think he could have done something differently sir? I’d say that is an understatement. This is an 8th grade kid and Logan County, WV is making this out to be something that it isn’t.
We now live in a country where our children are being made examples of in order to destroy the concept of the 2nd Amendment and paint it evil. Has anyone else picked up on a pattern here?
Kids are getting suspended for cap guns, pop tarts and pencils and it’s all in the spirit of zero tolerance policies. Anyone who does not think that the leftist agenda has infected this country is probably a leftist themselves, or at least a useful idiot.
Whether they actually send a 14 year old kid away for a year, or not, remains to be seen. I would hope that it does not go that far.
But the problem is that it has already gone way too far. A 14 year old gets arrested for proudly wearing a Pro-2nd-Amendment shirt. Meanwhile some of his peers are busy making babies through unprotected sex, lining up to join the boy scouts to take part in massive gay orgies on camping trips, doing whatever the hot designer drug is this week and stealing cars that they are not old enough to drive.
This is the land of the free of course. This country has 5% of the world population and boasts 25% of the world prison population. It’s absolute fact. Look it up.
I will be a little surprised but not totally shocked if they send this kid to juvenile detention or some sort of boot camp.
What the **** is wrong with this country? And why the **** isn’t anyone rallying to stick up for this kid? Pardon my asterisks.
How far do they have to push us until we finally start to push back? None of us wants this but they have crossed so many lines that they are about to officially back us into a corner.
If that happens there is only one direction that we can go.

If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight? | The D.C. Clothesline
NOTE: I felt that Dean Garrison expresses what I feel and think so much better than I am able to express. I am thankful he freely allowed others to share on their blogs.
If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight? | The D.C. Clothesline
If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight? | The D.C. Clothesline
Posted on January 3, 2013 by Dean Garrison
I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply because I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts. I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.
About a month ago I let the “democracy” word slip in a discussion with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a correct term to describe our form of government. The truth is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.
If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way… Say that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a good thing. Do they have the right to change the teachings of your God? The truth is the truth. It doesn’t matter how many people try to stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did, but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.
Our founders did not want a “democracy” for they feared a true democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy. The founders were highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also the potential for an “immoral majority” developing within the American People. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled by a constitution.
Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Let’s look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin
Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so? Because the citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government. We have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.
I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just because most Americans love our president and voted for him, it does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights.
Next I’d like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very clear. This is the law of this land. So when Senator Feinstein or President Obama talk about taking your guns, you need to think about something. Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the constitution?
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took 232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that a handgun ban in Washington D.C. was unconstitutional. One also has to take this into consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If you want to research this decision further you can start here.
For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here:
The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George Washington
The Constitution shall never be construed….to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. -Samuel Adams
I could find hundreds of quotes like these.This country was built on the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns. Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null and void, simply because “We the People” will lose our power of enforcement.
We need to keep this in mind as our “representatives” try to push gun bans. I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple.
A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us.
Our framers were very clear on this. If my government comes to take my guns, they are violating one of my constitutional rights that is covered by the 2nd amendment.
not my right, at that point, but my responsibility to respond in the name of liberty.What I am telling you is something that many are trying to soft sell, and many others have tried to avoid putting into print, but I am going to say it. The time for speaking in code is over.
If they come for our guns then it is our constitutional right to put them six feet under. You have the right to kill any representative of this government who tries to tread on your liberty. I am thinking about self-defense and not talking about inciting a revolution. Re-read Jefferson’s quote. He talks about a “last resort.” I am not trying to start a Revolt, I am talking about self-defense. If the day for Revolution comes, when no peaceful options exist, we may have to talk about that as well. None of us wants to think about that, but please understand that a majority can not take away your rights as an American citizen. Only you can choose to give up your rights.
Congress could pass gun ban legislation by a 90%+ margin and it just would not matter. I think some people are very unclear on this. This is the reason we have a Supreme Court, and though I do not doubt that the Supreme Court can also become corrupt, in 2008 they got it right. They supported the constitution. It does not matter what the majority supports because America is not a democracy. A constitutional republic protects the rights of every single citizen, no matter what their “elected servants” say. A majority in America only matters when the constitution is not in play.
I just wrote what every believer in the constitution wants to say, and what every constitutional blogger needs to write. The truth of the matter is that this type of speech is viewed as dangerous and radical or subversive, and it could gain me a world of trouble that I do not want. It is also the truth. To make myself clear I will tell you again. If they come for your guns it is your right to use those guns against them and to kill them. You are protected by our constitution.
Most of the articles I am reading on the subject are trying to give you clues without just coming out and saying it. I understand that because certain things in this country will get you on a list that you don’t want to be on. I may well be on that list. This blog is small and growing so I may not be there yet, but I have dreams. I also have my own list of subversives and anyone who attempts to deny my constitutional rights is on that list.
I am not the “subversive” here, it is the political representatives who are threatening to take away my inalienable rights. If they come to take my guns and I leave a few of them wounded or dead, and I somehow survive, I have zero doubt that I will spend a long time in prison and may face an execution. But I would much rather be a political prisoner than a slave.
If I go down fighting then I was not fighting to harm these human beings. I was simply defending my liberty and yours. It is self-defense and it is what our country was built on. We won our freedom in self-defense. We would not be ruled by a tyrannical government in the 1770′s and we will not be ruled in 2012 by a tyrannical government. There is no difference.
This is a case of right and wrong. As of now the 2nd amendment stands. It has never been repealed. If Feinstein or Barack have a problem with the constitution then they should be removed from office. They are not defending the constitution which they have sworn an oath to protect. It is treasonous to say the least. They would likely say the same about me, but I have the constitution, the founders, and the supreme court on my side. They only have their inflated egos.
I am not writing this to incite people. I am writing this in hopes that somehow I can make a tiny difference. I have no idea how many of my neighbors have the will to defend their constitutional rights. 2%? 20%? I am afraid that 20% is a high number, unfortunately.When push comes to shove many people may give up and submit to being ruled. I believe that our government is banking on this.
What I do know is that this country was founded by people who had balls the size of Texas and Patriotic Americans take shit off of no one, especially our own government. For evidence of that, you might research the Revolutionary War. My question is how many Patriots are left?
I would hope that our officials come to realize that, regardless of our numbers, we still exist because they are calling Patriotic Americans to action. They are making us decide if we want to die free or submit to their rule. I can not tell you where you should stand on that. I do know that it may make the difference between living a life of freedom or slavery.
You must start thinking about this because I believe that the day is coming soon and I personally believe it has already been planned. Not all conspiracy theories are hogwash. They may throw down the gauntlet soon and my suggestion is that you prepare yourself to react.
I mean no disrespect to our elected officials but they need to understand that “We the People” will not be disarmed. If they proceed then it is they that are provoking us and we will act accordingly. We are within our rights to do so.
For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.
Are you willing to die to take my guns?

Victoria Edwards, Seasoned Actress and friend. NOT a hardened Showgirl
I just wanted to vent a bit. Victoria Edwards is my friend. Granted we haven't chatted in a while but she is my friend.
A number of people have called me about Victoria to ask if I heard about her fathers reality show The Governor's Wife and had I read the entertainment medias description of her. Yes, I have heard and read about it in many places but what makes me boiling mad is how she is referred to either as "A Show Girl" or a "Hardened Showgirl" NOTHING could be further than the truth.
I had the pleasure of working with Victoria four times through my own theater company New York Theatre Labs in NYC and again in Los Angeles and Victoria is NOT a show girl. She is a really talented actress who also is a great dancer (that she came by through extremely hard work and training) and choreographer. So good that I recommend her to be the choreographer on a film I worked on with Paul Reiser, Martin Mull, Jane Leaves and a number of other well known actors. She was great and everyone loved her. Martin Mull was charmed by her. She was patently professional and generous with her time and good nature.
As far as hardened, not true. Tough as nails when she needed to be, yes. But you tell me if you can be a pushover when your father is the current Governor of Louisiana? You would be destroyed with the way the press comes after politicians children.
Victoria and I were friends for years and she has a heart of gold. She is one of the few women I truly admire for her great heart. Is she feisty? Yes, I loved that about her. But a 'hardened' showgirl. Never. I have seen so many examples of Victoria's generosity and care for other people it would be hard to count. Myself included.
During each play I produced that Victoria was in she was the most professional of all the actors in the troupe. She was a seasoned actress and not a "hardened showgirl". Hard worker yes. Hardened, NO.
One more little tidbit. When I first met Victoria I was producing an original musical offering in NYC titled "Louisiana Reds". Not once during the audition process or call backs did she ever mention that she was the daughter of the Current Governor of Louisiana. She was however one of the best vocalist we came across. Boy could she sell a song.
We were weeks into the production before that bit of information became known and it wasn't Victoria that mentioned it. She Worked her arse off on her character and helped the other actors with their dance numbers working tirelessly with them and never ONCE did she ever try to get an advantage by being "The Governor's Daughter" which when you think of someone auditioning for a play about Louisiana MOST would have tried to use that tidbit to their advantage. Victoria never played that card.
I wish her the best of luck in this endeavor and at the end of the day, Think she will steal the show. Of course I think a better show would be "The Governor's Daughter". But that's just me.

2013 - Good Lord What have we done to ourselves...
I really haven't posted since the election in November. To say I was speechless that America could elect that Smarmy, Self-Centered Socialist is putting it mildly. How? How could we become a people that would elect this... this.... You know what I really want to call him is vulgar and I refuse to go there but...
Think of the most vulgar epitaph and that is probably what I want to call Obama.
So... Here we are in 2013 and I am scared silly about what is coming.
I hardly know where to start so today I will just say...
To those who believe "In God We Trust" .... I am praying he has a plan to protect us from our government.
Topics to come soon.
2nd Amendment - Feel free to share your thoughts with me I will post them. In particular if you have suggestions for protecting that right.
Fire Boehner and most of those pissants that call themselves republicans in Congress.
Benghazi - No I haven't forgotten, I didn't get a concussion either so it is still fresh in my memory.
Fast and Furious - NO I haven't forgotten.
Well... Lots of topics...
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Is that still true for liberals? Apparently Justice is something that only works for their voting blocks. Clearly if you are a successful American who has worked hard all their lives YOU are to be treated differently and don't deserve equal justice.

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

Pat Caddell 'The Audacity of Corruption" Full Transcript and Video
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.

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-stringsas 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.

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.
