I am so tired of people and their little power trips....
“The ordinance, which was passed last week, includes a host of regulations concerning what can be placed around city graves. Teddy bears and statues must be removed 21 days after the funeral. Mourners cannot place flowers near a gravesite unless they’re in a vase,” the report adds.
Okay, wait. We have two questions:
What made council members think this was a good idea?
How did they intend to enforce it?
The Cemetery Board pitched the idea to the City Council last week and, apparently, nobody thought that regulating the small comfort of putting flowers or a flag on a grave would, you know, really, really upset some people.

Roberts Too Clever By Half....

Limbaugh Reacts to Supreme Court Ruling: The IRS Has Just Become Obama’s Domestic Army ....
“The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court John Roberts said ‘it’s not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices. Not out job.’ Well what about when we are deceived?” he asked.
“The court upheld a law that was not what we were told it would be. What has been upheld here is fraud and the Internal Revenue Service has just become Barack Obama’s domestic army. That is what we face now.”

GOP governors vow to ignore Obamacare .....
Republican governors are planning to ignore the Supreme Court's decision Thursday to uphold Obamacare hoping that the issue will drive voters to dump President Obama in favor of Mitt Romney who has vowed to kill the Affordable Care Act.
After the decision, the Republican Governors Association said that nothing should be done by the states until after the election, a clear signal that they believe a GOP president, House and Senate will kill the health care reform pushed through by Democrats and opposed by Republicans.

What does the Supreme Court's health-care ruling mean for me? .....
The court's decision to uphold all but one component of the health-care law means new rules for insurers that have already taken effect will remain in place. Beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will have to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. There also will be new opportunities to get coverage, including state-based marketplaces known as exchanges* (through which individuals will be able to purchase private plans that meet strict benchmarks for quality) and federal subsidies to help low-income people buy plans on the exchanges. The law will also expand the eligibility rules for Medicaid, but the Court found that states can not be penalized if they decline to comply with the expansion, raising questions as to how effectively the federal government will be able to implement it.

Rubio: IRS to 'come after' uninsured .......
Sen. Marco Rubio said Thursday that the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care law means that the IRS will now “come after” Americans.
“I hope people back home fully understand what this means, and here’s what this means: It is now unlawful for you not to buy health insurance, and if you do not buy it, you have an IRS problem,” the Florida Republican said on Fox News. “If you do not buy health insurance, the IRS is going to be on your back and chasing you. They’re going to take away your refund, they’re going to increase your fees, they’re going to come after you.”

Flashback: Senate Judiciary Chairman Unable to Explain Where Congress Gets Authority to Mandate Insurance.....
They think they are Rulers....Kings.....they have forgotten...as have WE!
Leahy, whose committee is responsible for vetting Supreme Court nominees, was asked by CNSNews.com where in the Constitution Congress is specifically granted the authority to require every American purchase health insurance. Leahy answered by saying that “nobody questions” Congress’ authority for such an action.

Cocky Journalists Declared ObamaCare Would Be Upheld, Maybe by a 8-1 Vote....
Although no one knows how the Supreme Court will rule, Thursday, on ObamaCare, journalists over the past few months have dismissed and derided the concept that the President's signature legislation could be declared unconstitutional. CNN's Jeffrey Toobin predicted an eight-to-one vote upholding the law. Former New York Times Court reporter Linda Greenhouse said that Americans who think the law is unconstitutional are "wrong."
Why Is Sec. Clinton Giving Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to Muslim Brotherhood?
The Muslim Sisterhood is, as its name suggests, a sister organization to the Muslim Brotherhood. Service on the Guidance Bureau of that organization is quite a prestigious position. It is so prestigious that one of the women Abedin’s mother serves with is Najla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Mohammed Morsi. The plot only thickens when we consider the fact that Abedin’s brother, Hassan Abedin, has allegedly collaborated with “al-Qaeda godfather Omar Naseef and Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, two of the most influential terror supporters in the world.”
Fast and Furious the biggest scandal in US history.....
The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on “American Idol.”
Administration officials intentionally put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, so that when the guns taken from Mexican crime scenes turned out to be American guns, Democrats would have a reason to crack down on gun sellers in the United States.
Democrats will never stop trying to take our guns away. They see something more lethal than a salad shooter and wet themselves.

Emails: White House sent health care work to Axelrod's firm .......
This is the stuff on BOTH sides of the aisle that just wear you out....
The charge that the Obama administration coordinated with the health-care industry in 2009 during the Obamacare fight to send a good chunk of business to the consulting firm founded by presidential adviser David Axelrod has resurfaced in the news media.
At issue is whether the White House worked with officials inside the industry to form the outside group, “Healthy Economy Now,” which ran pro-Obamacare ads with the help of Axelrod’s former political consulting firm, AKPD Message and Media.

Romney seeks Washington Post retraction.....Good luck!
The group intends to argue that the Post's allegations against Bain Capital and the firms in question are either incomplete or inaccurate, sources familiar with the meeting say. Specifically, the group will argue that the Post misinterpreted the SEC filings it examined for its report and failed to adequately account for the support these firms gave to U.S. exports or U.S. businesses through foreign hiring. The campaign raised similar objections to the story prior to its publication.
Obama Cites Tax Dodger Marc Anthony to Push Higher Taxes.....
Another of Obama's people...Do as I SAY...not as I do....
According to a New York judgments and liens filing dating back to March 29, Anthony (under his real name, Marco Antonio Muniz), was hit with a tax lien on some property he owns in Long Island. But that's not the only time he's failed to pay the government its due.
The Latin popster also had a lien filed against the same piece of real estate in December of 2009, this one for $1.6 million, bringing the total amount owed to the IRS to a whopping $3.4 million.

Florida Judge Smacks Down Holder over Non-Citizens Voting....
Each day there is a slight ray of HOPE....and remember...Hope is far stronger than fear....
The Department of Justice tried to prevent Florida and its Governor, Rick Scott, from removing non-citizens from its voter rolls, asking for a restraining order and arguing that removing non-citizens would be a violation of the National Voter Registration Act. Today, a U.S. District Judge appointed by former President Bill Clinton denied the Department of Justice's request, according to the Miami Herald. Florida will now be able to rightfully remove non-citizens from its voter rolls.

The Great Misery......
The Great Misery has settled in upon us and our president remains clueless.When all President Obama seemingly does is jet from one campaign fundraiser to the other, play golf and hold self promoting press conferences to announce a new voting block bid, I suspect its easy to say the private sector is doing fine.Our president is completely out-of-touch.
With real unemployment clipping along at fifteen percent or higher, the private sector is an economic train wreck.

Biden: "It's A Depression For Millions And Millions Of Americans"
REAL depression for millions and millions would be your re-election!
"My grandpop used to say — from Scranton — he said, Joey, the guy in Dunmore, the next town over, when the guy in Dunmore is out of work it's an economic slowdown. When your brother in law is out of work it's a recession. When you're out of work it's a depression. It's a depression for millions and millions of Americans."

Military Vet Not Allowed to Bring Service Dog into New Jersey Wawa’s .....
Imagine of the Vet was black......just saying....think this would have been handled differently?
But two weeks ago, Stark visited a local Wawa in New Jersey, where he moved a few months ago, and said the employees started questioning him about the dog, eventually even calling the police on him.
“Rarely do I get emotional at all, but this was a really sad experience for me,” Stark said outside his Vine Street home in Millville Tuesday.
“They were saying there’s nothing wrong with you…Get out of our store…He’s not a seeing eye dog…Really ignorant things,” he continued.

ESPN Writer and CNN Contributor LZ Granderson Argues Americans Can’t Handle the Truth of Fast and Furious.......
I wonder...if it were a sibling of his MURDERED by guns ILLEGALLY run over the border by our OWN Government...if he'd feel it was just a matter of "collateral damage"....I agree with the aspect that not every piece of our governments laundry needs to be hung out daily.
However when it does backfire...we're the only nation on earth that gives ITSELF a rectal exam.....
In an Op-ed posted on CNN.com on Tuesday, Granderson argues “times have changed” and “not everything is our business,” so we need to just butt out already. And as for those killed because of the operation? “Collateral damage.”

New Black Panther Describes Digging Up White People and Killing them ‘Again and Again’ ......
NOBODY will chastise him for his remarks.....with un-checked vicious rhetoric out there such as this ( certainly not this alone ) ...people wonder why the gun industry is doing well?
“Once [white people] die, we should dig ‘em up, and kill ‘em again, bury ‘em, dig ‘em up, and kill ‘em again, and again, and again!”
New Disability Regs Limit Slope of Mini Golf Holes, Require Businesses to Admit Mini Horses as Guide Animals .....

Although the Justice Department has extended the deadline for America’s hotels to comply with regulations regarding handicap access to swimming pools, new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines are already being applied at miniature golf courses, driving ranges, amusement parks, shooting ranges and saunas.

Fraud Ring In Hacking Attack On 60 Banks.....
Only a matter of time....think "Lifelock"...........
Sixty million euro has been stolen from bank accounts in a massive cyber bank raid after fraudsters raided dozens of financial institutions around the world.
According to a joint report by software security firm McAfee and Guardian Analytics, more than 60 firms have suffered from what it has called an "insider level of understanding".
"The fraudsters' objective in these attacks is to siphon large amounts from high balance accounts, hence the name chosen for this research - Operation High Roller," the report said.

Kerry Admonishes Colleagues not to Prejudge Muslim Brotherhood.....
The funny ( or sad..) thing is...Mr. "Do you know who I am" Kerry would be the first one shot by these guys if they ever gained control. He's one of those mistaken individuals who thinks "being nice" equates equal treatment.....
Hell...we keep re-electing him up here....speaks volumes about Massachusetts! After Mr. Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, became President of Egypt, Senator Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned against "prejudging" the Muslim Brotherhood..

Latest Democrat who can’t remember murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s name....
Last night, it was Democratic strategist Tamara Holder who couldn’t remember slain Border Patrol agent and Fast and Furious casualty Brian Terry’s name. She coldly called him “the guy” who “died a year ago.” (Video at The Right Scoop.)
During the House contempt proceeding yesterday, several Democrats needed to read his name from pieces of paper to remember.

Team Obama’s Brother Sharpton Moment.....
What took so long.......?
At a Tuesday press conference in Washington, D.C., human shield Al Sharpton condemned the upcoming House vote on a contempt motion against Holder as “reckless” and “morally reprehensible.” Yes, the infamous hate-crimes hoaxer, cop-basher and riot incitement specialist is now the self-appointed sheriff of Capitol Hill morality. A Huffington Post report hyping Sharpton’s protection racket decried the contempt citation as an “assault on minority rights.” In typical race-baiting style, Sharpton told the leftwing website: “I’m not saying that this is because Holder is black, and I’m not calling (Republicans) racists. I’m saying what they’re doing has a racial effect.”

Firing squad ends clerk’s EBT stand ......Howie Carr
Jackie Whiton, age 65, had worked as a cashier at the Big Apple convenience store in Peterborough, N.H., for years. But then a couple of weeks ago she committed a firing offense.
She refused to allow a welfare recipient to use his EBT card to buy a pack of smokes.
How dare a taxpayer say no to a member of the non-working class? This is verboten in Obama’s America.

Unions Prevent Workers from Getting Raises....
It's all about control and power..has little or NOTHING to do with rewarding hard work and effort!
Instead, unions typically base pay on seniority and job classifications—not individual effort or productivity. Workers cannot bargain individually for more. By law, hard-working union members get the same pay as those who slack off.

Obama campaign prepping thousands of lawyers for election challenges....
Romney has been organizing his own legal help for the election. Campaign attorney Ben Ginsberg did not provide numbers but said the campaign has been gratified by the "overwhelming number of attorneys who have volunteered to assist."
"We will have enough lawyers to handle all situations that arise," he said.
The GOP doesn't necessarily need to have a numerical counterweight to Obama's attorneys; the 2000 election showed that experienced, connected lawyers on either side can be effective in court.

Time to Start the Real Health Care Debate...
Excellent premise - and it is the rock bottom foundation from which ALL healthcare should be debated!
(1) Do you own your own body? and (2) Do you own your neighbor's soul?
Supreme Court subtleties notwithstanding, conservatives must find a way to refocus the health care debate on two questions that constitute the true rock-bottom essence of the issue: (1) Do you own your own body? and (2) Do you own your neighbor's soul?
Republicans, like their nominally conservative equivalents worldwide, have been far too easily dragged onto liberal turf on the health care issue. Too often -- almost always, in fact -- they begin with the premise that the basic problems are "access to care" and "how to reduce costs." From there, the debate devolves into the conservative case for "market-based solutions" versus the liberal argument that "health care is too important to be left to the free market."
American Muslims Stone Christians in Dearborn, Michigan......
What are we as a nation afraid of?
I had someone tell me the other day they look at everyone they meet as a possible enemy now.
No longer just offering a quick Hello! They see everyone as an enemy until proven otherwise.
When he said this something clicked.
I think that is what is happening to us as a nation.
Thanks to our politically correct cowards that pose as our Leaders....
Our left leaning politically correct to the extreme school systems...
Our "fear" of offending everyone except those who are tax paying law abiding citizens....
Our "Media" who now decides "what" we see and "how" we see it - no longer broadcasting the truth...
I think this Administration...as well as many from BOTH Parties have packaged and sold a new version of America...one of fear and hate....divide and conquer...
Well, I don't believe they can conquer.....I believe in America....
However I think the gent who said he views everyone these days as an enemy first may be on to something.....In the video below, we see a small number of Christians who gathered holding Christian signs at the 2012 Dearbor, Michigan Arab festival being assaulted by Muslims with bottles, stones, and other objects. The police do not protect the Christians or take action against the perpetrators; in the end, they reprimand the Christians and instruct them to leave.
Pixar's 'Brave' Lives up to Name....
“Brave” is a movie that appeals to traditional, Middle America on many levels, and it rejects the kind of elitist conformity that brought us a hipster generation whose members find cause for pride in their synchronized tribal tattoos, matching skinny jeans, and shared pose of ironic detachment. There’s no irony in “Brave;” it’s all right there, with its heart on its sleeve. It’s a glorious act of rebellion against the Hollywood status quo worthy of the untamable Scots it chronicles.
Obama Immigration Pander Costing Him Support of White Democrats....
It didn't cost him "White" Democrats...it cost him true AMERICAN votes....
Last month, Obama led among white Democrats 89-6. Today, his lead is down to 78-16. A twenty-point swing in one month is a big shift. The corrupt media will no doubt suggest this has something to do with race. But, remember, they were giving Obama around 90% of their support a month ago. A huge swath of white Democrats didn't suddenly become racists this month. Whether its the continued sluggishness in the economy, the renewed focus on ObamaCare or the Fast & Furious scandal, something is definitely eroding Obama's support with a significant portion of his base.

Obama Raises $3.1 Million in Boston, Sticks City with Security Bill.....
I ALWAYS want my President and his Family protected six ways to Sunday...but REALLY? Isn't this what campaign funds are for?
Municipalities across America are struggling, but that does not concern the nation’s campaigner-in-chief. In what is becoming standard operation procedure, President Barack Obama campaigned in Boston on Monday night and left the city with the tab for all of the security-related expenses his appearance forced the city to undertake.

If we as a Nation don't start fighting to take education back from the LEFT...we will lose all hope for the future....
This grossly unconstitutional censorship by SCC has prompted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE, where I work) to step in. SCC’s wholesale prohibition of signs at the rally mocks the very idea of a college campus being a “marketplace of ideas,” and defies the wisdom of the Supreme Court in in Healy v. James (1972), which famously stated that “the vigilant protection of constitutional freedoms is nowhere more vital than in the community of American schools.”

Ariz. congressmen: Admin. has declared war against Arizona ....
Calling Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s rescission of 287(g) Task Force agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies “the Administration’s declaration of war against Arizona,” three Arizona congressmen are calling on ICE Director John Morton to reconsider the decision.
Arizona Republican Reps. Paul Gosar, Dave Schweikert and Trent Franks have signed onto a letter set to be sent to Morton Wednesday, in response to the agency’s Monday announcement that they have terminated Arizona’s 287(g) Task Force agreements — which allow state law enforcement agencies to verify the immigration status of suspected illegals.

Air Force Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh ....
In fact, this may be the first time Barack Obama has ever been outspent and he just can’t handle rejection.
In 2008, the Annenberg Public Policy Center reported that Barack Obama outspent John McCain 3 to 1 and “raised more money than anyone in the history of U.S. politics.”
Turn about would be fair play except the present President has the temperament of a four year old and the skin of an onion. Consequently, he is forced to whine.

32 Grieving Parents with Absolute Moral Authority over Obama.....
THIS is amazing.....AMAZING-please pass it on....
Next, I'd like you to meet Daris and Janet Long, the parents of the late Private William Long. In June 2009, 23-year-old "Andy" Long was murdered at an Army recruitment center in Little Rock, Arkansas by an American-born Muslim convert. Daris, an ex-Marine, is on a grief-stricken mission to see his son awarded a Purple Heart, since he was killed on active duty in a jihad-inspired attack.
But good luck with that in Obama's regime. The purported commander-in-chief threatened to veto the 2012 Defense Authorization Act, because Congress had inserted a clause awarding Purple Hearts to Andy Long and the 12 murdered soldiers of Fort Hood.
Obama delights in handing out awards to those he deems worthy: why, just a few weeks ago, he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Delores Huerta, honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, which describes itself as "the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International."
But Obama is not terribly keen at recognizing the sacrifices of those who serve. (Although to be fair, he did tell troops stationed overseas, "You guys make a pretty good photo op.")

The 5 Biggest Differences Between Operations Fast and Furious and Wide Receiver ......
Hard to blame Bush here...however...we all know he will!
Second, Wide Receiver, though flawed, was more of a gun-tracing operation than a gun-walking program. Gun-tracing involves putting specific safeguards in place to track firearms, such as RFID chips perhaps with video or aerial surveillance. Gun-walking is what happened in Fast and Furious, where ATF agents sold thousands of guns without a reliable way to recover them, apparently just hoping for the best.

Obama Recruits Thousands of Lawyers to Protect Dead, Illegal Voters......
Obama knows that this election is going to be a tough one, one that – objectively – I predict Gov. Mitt Romney will win in the end. All of these articles about voter purging mean nothing until the President validates them as threats to his campaign. Dead voters, illegal immigrants, multi-voters. They make up a sizeable chunk of voter rolls, yet the mainstream media won’t cover stories concerning it from anything but a pro-Obama viewpoint.
Federal Student Aid and Unintended Consequences....
FEDERAL STUDENT financial assistance programs are costly, inefficient, byzantine, and fail to serve their desired objectives. In a word, they are dysfunctional, among the worst of many bad federal programs.
These programs are commonly rationalized on three grounds: on the grounds that assuring more young people a higher education has positive spillover effects for the country; on the grounds that higher education promotes equal economic opportunity (or, as the politicians say, that it is “a ticket to achieving the American Dream”); or on the grounds that too few students would go to college in the absence of federal lo

Rubio beats the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart at his own game .....
“Gahh! I can see why they like you!!” a frustrated Jon Stewart said as he spun around in his seat after several minutes of debating political issues with Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
The pair went toe-to-toe in a discussion of political issues, which touched on the gridlock in the Senate, to immigration, health care, and tax policy. The entire segment was surprisingly substantive, and Rubio was able to match Stewart’s attempt at cynical humor. (I’ve posted Part 2 above)

Exonerated? Warren Academic Battle Continues.....
This morning, I sent an email to Ms. Wood and posed two specific questions:
[A]s I reported in this article at Breitbart.com yesterday, the 1991 University of Texas investigation was neither thorough nor exculpatory. In fact, it was riddled with factual errors, five of which are spelled out in my article, University of Texas Whitewash of Elizabeth Warren Scientific Misconduct Charge Entangles UVA, UC Presidents.
Have you read the article?
Given the numerous factual errors in the Texas report, are you still claiming it exonerated President Sullivan?

In fact, it was riddled with factual errors, five of which are spelled out in my article, University of Texas Whitewash of Elizabeth Warren Scientific Misconduct Charge Entangles UVA, UC Presidents.
Have you read the article?
Given the numerous factual errors in the Texas report, are you still claiming it exonerated President Sullivan?

‘Obama Truth Team’ Orders GoDaddy To Shut Down Website ......
If true this is downright spooky.....
A political website that contained stinging criticism of the Obama administration and its handling of the Fast and Furious scandal was ordered to be shut down by the Obama campaign’s ‘Truth Team’, according to private investigator Douglas Hagmann, who was told by ISP GoDaddy his site contained information that was “maliciously harmful to individuals in the government.”

Supreme Court Backs Arizona’s Right to Enforce Immigration Laws.....
In this case, the Court recognized that the core of S.B. 1070, which requires officers to work collaboratively with the federal government to determine the immigration status of those who have been stopped or detained for a lawful purpose, need not be interpreted to conflict with federal law. With this decision, the Court has reaffirmed the important principle that, much as he might want to, President Obama cannot prevent the states from taking action to enforce federal immigration laws just by saying that he doesn’t want them to do so.
ATF leader's email could be Fast and Furious smoking gun .....
We can only hope this will do the trick and give those injured and or killed by this rank stupidity long overdue justice. Also it will be a nice nod to the Framer's and the powder of our Constitution and it's 2nd Amendment.
A single internal Department of Justice email could be the smoking-gun document in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal — if it turns out to contain what congressional investigators have said it does.
The document would establish that wiretap application documents show senior DOJ officials knew about and approved the gunwalking tactic in Fast and Furious. This is the opposite of what Attorney General Eric Holder and House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings have claimed.

In Arizona dissent, Scalia blasts Obama’s deportation stay, immigration policies.....
I like the fact he questions the Administration's seemingly quiet assault on state's sovereignty...
"The president said at a news conference that the new program is 'the right thing to do' in light of Congress's failure to pass the administration's proposed revision of the Immigration Act," Scalia, a Reagan appointee, wrote in his dissent. "Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind."

Twitter Hashtag‘RomneyInTwoWords’ Prompts Anti-Mormon Vitriol ......
I don't care if the man is from the Moon and worships rocks....if he can fix the economy and RESPECT and DEFEND the Constitution...he's got my vote....
And that’s only a portion of the writing. One cannot help but wonder where to find Frank‘s scathing article repudiating Obama’s lies and blaming them on his faith (one clue: it doesn’t exist).
Then, there’s the Twitter ”hashtag wars,” an ongoing phenomena in social media — and one that was used this weekend by some on the Left in an effort to disparage Romney’s Mormon faith. In an unexpected cultural twist, conservatives actually hold their own in this particular forum, and have been known to sarcastically hijack leftist hashtags.

Jimmy Carter Accuses U.S. of 'Widespread Abuse of Human Rights' .....
I do not understand WHY this man became president of a land he seems to despise...wait...NO! I'm not talking about Obama....at least right now....Jimmy Carter!.
Jimmy Carter, America's 39 th president, denounced the Obama administration for "clearly violating" 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the "United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights."

Maher: Conservatism Not an Ideology, ‘It’s Just About Being a Dick’....
'Your' Car Won't Be After 2015....
Well, well written - PLEASE pass this on! Most people have NO idea this is coming. I sat with very informed folks this weekend and they were shocked.
In Mass...I see this also being used to institute the "Travel Tax" ....so much for every mile you drive....during a Recession....
I think America should just bankrupt now and get it over with because there is only a handful of our elected officials who even have a slight clue! And naturally, they -- the government, insurance companies -- will be able to track your every move, noting (and recording) where you've been and when. This will create a surveillance net beyond anything that ever existed previously. Some will not sweat this: After all, if you've got nothing to hide, why worry? Except for the fact that, courtesy of almost everything we do being either "illegal" or at least "suspicious," we all have a great deal to hide. The naivety of the Don't Worry, it's No Big Deal crowd is breathtaking.
Coal Matters -- Even in Manhattan....
Coal maintains that role with good reason. It is America's most abundant energy resource; our coal reserves are the world's largest, sufficient to last more than 250 years. That abundance makes coal affordable; over the decades its price has been far more stable that of another major power generation fuel, natural gas. And way below costs those promising but still-unproven resources, solar and wind power.
Meanwhile, science has made coal a much cleaner fuel. Utilities' use of coal for power generation has jumped more than 180 percent since 1970 but emissions from those plants have plummeted 75 percent. And the march of technology promises even cleaner coal in the years ahead.

NC Student Who Videotaped Pro-Obama Screaming Teacher Faces Harassment.....
But the School Departments and Teacher's Union's aren't in the satchel for Obama....Noooooooooooooo ...
According to the videotaper’s sister, not only did the school authorities reject the appeal for home-schooling, they gave him a suspension on his school record for videotaping in the classroom -- the first suspension ever issued for such an action, despite the fact that other students have also videotaped on school grounds.

Voters Disapprove of Obama Blocking Release of Fast and Furious Docs.....
This is what makes the President's decision so troubling.
What's in those documents that makes paying the political price worth it?
Because our media has protected Obama by refusing to cover Fast and Furious, voters aren't anywhere near as educated on the story as they were, say, the nothingburger that was Valerie Plame. But for decades, executive privilege has been synonymous with Watergate and cover ups.

US Army Holding Training Exercises in American Streets.....
OK....first - anyone who knows me knows I LOVE the military...that being said...WHY?
WHY?
We have drones flying over citizens homes....Black Helicopters doing maneuvers over American Cities and now this.
Why....WHY exactly? St. Louis Police say you shouldn’t be frightened if you see Army vehicles in the city. The U.S. Army is conducting training in St. Louis city neighborhoods during the next week.
There are dozens of army trucks, humvees and armed vehicles on a parking lot along Goodfellow.
They are there every day at the US Army Reserve Center. But St. Louis police say that some army vehicles may be driving through neighborhoods for the next week.
It is part of army training that will be going on until June 28th.
Past Denials of Vulnerability Raise Health Act What-Ifs .......
Opponents of the health plan were indeed serious, and so was the Supreme Court, which devoted more time to hearing the case than to any other in decades. A White House that had assumed any challenge would fail now fears that a centerpiece of Mr. Obama’s presidency may be partly or completely overturned on a theory that it gave little credence. The miscalculation left the administration on the defensive as its legal strategy evolved over the last two years.
