Palin On Obama: "WTF"

Whiskey...Tango...Foxtrot....need we say more????

Palin zeroed in on President Obama. The current state of the economy "is not a failure of the American people," she said. "It is the failure of leadership. We know how to change that, oh yes we do. Oh yes we can," she said, echoing Obama's campaign line.

"Hope and change – yeah, you gotta hope things change."

"He says he has a jobs plan to win the future. WTF, I know," Palin said, spelling out W-T-F.

Medal Of Honor Winner Michael Murphy Sacrificed All In Hunt For A Top Terrorist......

Please take the time to read "Lone Survivor"....when you do, you'll drop to your knees and thank god again and again for men like these watching over our country. THESE are our true hero's....

In a desolate ravine in Afghanistan, Michael Murphy was running out of options.

For more than two hours in June 2005, the 29-year-old lieutenant and his three fellow Navy SEALs had battled 100 Taliban fighters in the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Dependent Nation: Dependency Index Surges 23% Under President Obama; 67 Million Get Aid....and the rest of us PAY....

And Atlas Shrugged.....

The American public's dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation.

The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows .....

How's that Global Warming workin' out for ya?

The world's greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.

The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.

What the Heck is Wrong with Mitt Romney? ....

As a Conservative....I am so sick and tired of the Republican's giving us weak candidates. I LIKE Mitt Romney....but I also LIKE my usual guy at Dunkin Donuts....that doesn't make him a presidential candidate. I hear from friends "You have to see/meet Romney - then he'll have you"...Really? Reagan had me at Hello....
I watch Mitt and he always seems about a second away from hyperventilating. There are times I wonder if anyone near him has an asthma inhaler "just in case".
Save us...because the way we are going at the moment...is going to insure the re-election of the "Chosen One"...and fundamentally not just change...but destroy our way of life.

Now, if there is one thing Mitt Romney should be used to by now, it is losing elections. By this point, he should have had enough practice at this that he could pull off at least a passable imitation of a leader rallying the troops. Instead, he wandered onto stage shellshocked and dazed, looking like a man who had physically taken a punch, and wandered aimlessly through almost the exact same speech he had given after his resounding victory in Florida. It was bad enough that I, as a Romney supporter, said to myself, “Holy cow, this guy is doomed.”

With a Signal to Donors, Obama Yields on ‘Super PACs’.......

One more "core" belief bites the dust.....

The decision, which comes nine months before Election Day, escalates the money wars and is a milestone in Mr. Obama’s evolving stances on political fund-raising. The lines have increasingly blurred between presidential campaigns and super PACs, which have flourished since a 2010 Supreme Court ruling and other legal and regulatory decisions made it easier for outside groups to raise unlimited donations to promote candidates.

Public surveillance from private property questioned - Washington Times

Just a thought...but INSTEAD of all of us - the law abiding citizens giving up any shred of freedom & privacy we have left....we try putting the BAD GUYS behind bars??? Just saying....

When D.C. police began installing surveillance cameras in neighborhoods more than five years ago as crime-fighting tools, privacy concerns voiced by civil liberties groups limited their scope and use.

Tom Brady in postgame daze of disappointment after another Super Bowl loss to the Giants ....

Nicely written.....this is the Tom Brady we know. The ultimate competitor. he's given us an awful lot of fun Sundays!

He was in full uniform. He was in full thought. There were the plays that hadn’t been made. There were the opportunities not seized. There was the Super Bowl that had slipped away, 21-17 to the New York Giants. Again, the Giants. Again.

Killed Seattle Marine Leaves Behind Letter of Hope ...

And we get upset over a Super Bowl loss....when the true hero's are right next to us everyday...

Semper Fidelis means always faithful. Always faithful to God, Country and Corps. Always faithful to the principles and beliefs that guided me into the service. And on that day in October when I placed my hand on a bible and swore to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, I meant it.”

Volt sales fall in January ......Really????!

Sales "hurt" by bad publicity.....Well, Duh! Bursting into flames might be a non-starter....and one other small detail....NO MARKET!

General Motors extended-range electric Chevrolet Volt had its worst sales month since August, as negative publicity over fire risks hurt vehicles sales in January.

GM sold just 603 Volts - above its sales in January 2011, but far below GM's best-ever sales month in December, when GM sold 1,529 Volts.

Last week, GM North America President Mark Reuss said sales of the Volt have been hurt by bad publicity.

AA to Cut Up to 15,000 Jobs....No more Freindly Skies.....

Yup.....Economy is SMOKIN'.....???

NBC 5 has learned that Fort Worth-based American Airlines may cut between 10,000 and 15,000 jobs across the company.

Sources familiar with the plan said they company plans to announce the cuts during a meeting Wednesday morning in Fort Worth.

It is estimated that 1,000 of those jobs to be cut will be at the company's maintenance base at Alliance Airport in north Fort Worth.

CAIR & Political Correctness win again.....

A little nudge here...a little nudge there...
You don't notice them creeping up on you....that little demon who's sole purpose is to erode your civil liberties in the name of Political Correctness.....the scourge of this Century....

The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Monday night that it had successfully prevented retired Lieutenant General William G. “Jerry” Boykin from speaking at an upcoming prayer breakfast at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Chris Matthews and the collective delusion of the Left Media.....

The delusion of the Left Media.....no bias here....I actually have a 2" file FULL of hatred spewed against GWB....?!

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Washington, D.C. radio station WMAL’s “Morning Majority,” MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews denied applying a double standard to his treatment of the tea party and “Occupy” movements. He also claimed he never saw hate-speech protest signs directed at former President George W. Bush — only at President Obama.

“There is a real level of national hatred of the president [Obama] that I hadn’t seen before, certainly not under Clinton, or under Dubya,” Matthews said. “The hatred, the Hitler mustaches — I hadn’t seen that before.”

Abandon All Hope, Ye Patriots Fans....

Growing up in NY...with parents that were Season Ticket Holders...I had no choice but to cheer YA Tittle til we moved to Massachusetts and we found Sports Heaven with the Patriots, Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox. We haven't looked back since. However, this week.....what I've listened too...this article hits the nail on the head.....I am still smiling!
All Hope is Gone New England...the proof is right here....hehehehehe.....

I don't remember everything I wrote, though I'm sure it was just as snarky and Massholey and you'd expect a piece like that to be. But it wasn't sarcastic, I know that much. I meant every word I said. And while it's not my style to make predictions, I have to assume I threw some sort of reference in there to “Therefore the Giants would be the perfect team to finish a perfect season against” or something along those lines.

CBO: Taxes Will ‘Shoot Up by More Than 30 Percent’ Over Next 2 Years .....

Taking from those who work to pay for those who can't work...absolutely fine...and then the "Give Me's".....the takers....basically the Democratic Base....

The amount of money the federal government takes out of the U.S. economy in taxes will increase by more than 30 percent between 2012 and 2014, according to the Budget and Economic Outlook published today by the CBO.

At the same time, according to CBO, the economy will remain sluggish, partly because of higher taxes.

Homeownership ratesfalls to 66% as downturn nears a bottom .....

But the economy is "Rocking!" according to the White House....hummmmmmmmmm

The U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday that the nation's homeownership rate fell to 66% in the fourth quarter, continuing a seven-year drop from a fourth-quarter peak of 69.2% in 2004.

At the same time, U.S. home prices fell 1.3% in November from October and were 3.7% below 2010 levels, the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index indicates.

Baylee Gets Surprise Visit From Her Soldier Father Who Was Serving in Afghanistan ......

Take a moment....this is what makes America GREAT!

Among the many sacrifices that soldiers make to serve the United States, leaving their families behind is certainly one of the most difficult.

Oakland Mayor Quan Says Occupy Protesters Using City As ‘Playground’......ya think!?

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said she has had it with a small, violent fringe element within the Occupy Oakland protests and claimed it is using the city as a “playground.”

Did Michelle Obama Really Spend $50,000 on Lingerie in ‘One Shopping Spree’?....imagine this was Sarah Palin......

I needed a laugh....and "Let them eat cake" Michell just provided it....

EDITOR’S NOTE: There is an important update to this story at the bottom of this article!

BONUS UPDATE: In addition to the updated information below — the White House is now strong denying the Telegraph report. You can read that report here.

NY Issues Sam Adams Ban During Super Bowl

NY Issues Sam Adams Ban During Super Bowl

Elizabeth Warren...is "One of Us'........Okkie Dokie....

And good for her....even though I wonder about some of this. Regardless....GOOD FOR HER - BUT...Stop trying to tell us you are "One of Us"...you got off that bus a LONG time ago....

Is Massachusetts Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren part of the “1 percent”? The multimillionaire claimed on Thursday night’s “The Last Word” on MSNBC that she’s not, but her financial disclosure forms say otherwise.

WHite House Tax Deliquents.......Hypocricy - thy name is Obama....

Ah...but imagine the Hell on Earth life would be for us "Little People".....?

The White House’s 36 tax-delinquents put President Barack Obama’s personal office in the top tier of IRS deadbeats.

The White House’s 36 tax deadbeats owe an average of $23,165.33, far above the average federal delinquent’s outstanding debt of $13,911.

RomneyCare and ObamaCare....

Those of us who thought that Mitt Romney's health-care record would hurt him during the GOP primaries have been wrong so far, in part because the former Massachusetts governor has been so insistent that he'll "repeal ObamaCare." But this week his vulnerability came into sharper focus, and while it may not cost him the nomination it could cost him in November.

Sixteen Concerned Scientists: No Need to Panic About Global Warming.....

A candidate for public office in any contemporary democracy may have to consider what, if anything, to do about "global warming." Candidates should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true. In fact, a large and growing number of distinguished scientists and engineers do not agree that drastic actions on global warming are needed.

Strassel: Mitt Keeps Missing the Message....

It won't be because Mr. Romney has become a better or more effective candidate. Primaries exist to help with that process, to let contenders read signals from the political landscape, to adapt, become stronger. Successful politicians absorb the signals and change up. Not Mr. Romney. If politics were evolution, the governor would still be swimming in the primordial soup.

Apple: made in China, untaxed profits kept offshore .....

Just a few hours later, in the GOP response to the President’s speech, Governor Mitch Daniels also played the Steve Jobs card, saying “The late Steve Jobs — what a fitting name he had — created more of them than all those stimulus dollars the President borrowed and blew.”

Partisanship aside, certainly Apple has created a lot of jobs over the years. But today, most of the jobs created by Apple are not American jobs, they’re sweatshop-style jobs for miserable, overworked workers in China.

Obama is King of Private Sector like Al invented internet!

Obama “wants to take credit for anything that happens in the private sector because he wants the public to look favorably on government,” responded Dan Kish, a senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research. His gas-fracking claim “is sort of like Al Gore [claiming credit for] inventing the Internet,” he said.

If Hockey Star Snubbed Bush, They Would’ve Earned ‘Unwavering Support in the Media for Taking Such a Courageous Stance’ .....

Amen.........

Politically conservative Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas is being vilified for not joining his hockey teammates Monday afternoon at the White House for a ceremony honoring the team’s 2011 Stanley Cup championship, but Hockey News senior writer Ken Campbell suggested that if a few years ago some stars “had snubbed the White House in 2004 to protest the Bush-led U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, my guess is they...would have had all kinds of unwavering support in the media for taking such a courageous stance.”

Michigan Union Manual Instructs Teachers on How to Use Children as ‘Propaganda’ ....

Jeez...Golly...Gee! Unions using school children as "Propaganda"...who woulda thunk, ey?????

“For more than two years, the Michigan Education Association [MEA] has had a manual that urges its members to use students as propaganda in contract negotiations and also lays out how to organize strikes,” writes Tome Gantert of Michigan Capitol Confidential.

Considering the fact that teacher strikes are illegal in Michigan, some may find it odd that the MEA has been encouraging this sort of behavior

Henry Waxman and Ed Whitefield Spar Over Koch Brother Subpoena Question on Keystone Pipeline....

Fair is Fair....nice to see one of OURS call out Waxman!

A House committee held what was perhaps one of its more explosive hearings Wednesday on a bill that would give a federal commission the power to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. Democrats, lead by Congressman Henry Waxman, call the bill a Republican earmark and thus asked that the Koch brothers be subpoenaed to testify on their alleged investment in the project. Republican Committee chairman Ed Whitefield was having none of it, however, and cut Waxman off at the knees.

Bush Responsible for Bailouts and ‘GM is Number One’ |.........Really?.....No..........

Once again....because he hasn't got the strength of his own convictions...if he even has any....it's Bush's Fault".....

President Obama on Wednesday said that President Bush was responsible for bailing out auto companies in Detroit, writes the Washington Examiner’s Charlie Spiering.

“Keep in mind,” the president said, “That the administration before us, they had been writing some checks to the auto industry asking nothing in return. It was just a bailout, straight — straightforward.”

Billy Cundiff’s missed field goal finds a home with a Pats fan ......

Sometimes Football rules!

Like everyone else at Gillette Stadium, Dr. Terry Oder figured Sunday’s game was headed for overtime. Sitting in the ninth row in the end zone, Oder and his friends had a sick feeling. What were the chances Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff would botch a 32-yard field goal attempt?

Pretty good, it turns out.

School Choice-SChools don't need more funding....

He asks why these solutions cannot happen....? Look no further than the Teachers Union....it's the same thing everywhere their could be volunteerism to solve financial woes....Unions will not allow it 99% of the time.

Cosby demanded answers from Education Secretary Arne Duncan, asking why, with so much money going into the schools, the taxpayers still cannot get the value they put in. Instead of whining about cuts, he said, schools and towns should be looking for solutions outside the box.

“Okay — we know there are cuts, then let’s work with it. Let’s go to churches, find retired teachers who would like to join us in the basement of the church to work with the child,” Cosby said. “There are ways we can work around this and we have to talk and we have to move.”

Obama’s Green Robber Barons.....Fleecing us daily!

Had enough of fat cat Barack Obama, his jet-setting wife and his multi-millionaire Chicago consigliere/real-estate mogul Valerie Jarrett attacking the “rich”? Well, brace yourselves. You’ll be hearing much more from the White House about the “wealthy few” who aren’t paying their “fair share” as Obama’s re-election campaign doubles down on class-war demagoguery.

As usual, there’s always a set of immunity charms for the privileged friends and family of the ruling class. When it comes to all the Green Robber Barons who’ve reaped an obscenely unfair share of billions of tax dollars from the Obama administration, the envy trumpeteers will be quieter than a nest of mute church mice.

Ohio State Students Mobilize Against Freedom Center Ad ......

And parents get to pay kabillions in tuition costs for making their kids liberal shills....or worse.....

Controversy is brewing at Ohio State University after The Lantern, the campus’s official student-run newspaper, published the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s ad exposing the Muslim Student Association’s extensive links to terrorism. The advertisement, titled “Former Leaders Of The Muslim Student Association (MSA), Where Are They Now?,” lists nine MSA co-founders and former presidents that have documented ties to terrorist groups. These individuals rose to high leadership positions within organizations such as Al Qaeda and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with some serving prison time for their roles in terrorist operations. The list includes such terrorists of international notoriety as the recently dispatched Anwar al-Awlaki (former MSA president at Colorado State University)

RE-ELECT OBAMA: VOTE NEWT!

Well said.....and I am NOT a big fan of Mitt...But Newt????

To talk with Gingrich supporters is to enter a world where words have no meaning. They denounce Mitt Romney as a candidate being pushed on them by "the Establishment" -- with "the Establishment" defined as anyone who supports Romney or doesn't support Newt.

Gingrich may have spent his entire life in Washington and be so much of an insider that, as Jon Stewart says, "when Washington gets its prostate checked, it tickles [Newt]," but he is deemed the rebellious outsider challenging "the Establishment" -- because, again, "the Establishment" is anyone who opposes Newt.

Warren Buffett's Secretary Likely Makes Between $200,000 And $500,000/Year ....

Well...good for her....however the phoney NONSENSE people allow themselves to be sucked into.....They all think we're STUPID. Sometimes I wonder if they are right. We get what we vote for....
Warren Buffet’s secretary, Debbie Bosanek, served as a stage prop for President Obama’s State of the Union speech. She was the President’s chief display of the alleged unfairness of our tax system – a little person paying a higher tax rate than her billionaire boss.

1,000 Days.....Since Obama gave us a REAL budget....

It's been 1,000 days since the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate has passed a budget. That's inexcusable.

Evergreen Energy Files for Bankruptcy, Cites Lack of Financing ......

Lack of financing...?!...how about market demand?????

The company listed assets of about $240 million and debt of $25 million in Chapter 7 documents filed yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Chapter 7 proceedings let companies liquidate their assets while being protected from creditors.

Evergreen “remains unable to obtain additional financing and, given its current financial condition, there is substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue operations,” Evergreen said in a Jan. 13 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Clinton surpasses $75 million in speech income after lucrative 2010....

OK...let's see....it's OK for Bill Clinton to make $75 Million on speaking engagements in 2010...but not for Mitt Romney to make $21 Million in same time period......No Media Bias here...and by the way....GOOD for BOTH of them to make whatever they can!!!

Former president Bill Clinton enjoyed his most lucrative year ever on the speaking circuit in 2010, capping a decade of paid speaking events that has earned him $75.6 million since leaving office in 2001, according to a CNN analysis of federal financial records

Tim Thomas should be applauded for conviction....

Conviction of ANY kind is a rare bird these days! To do so in public with the entire media leaning Left is especially refreshing.

It's easy to blast Tim Thomas for skipping the ceremony at the White House on Monday.

All his teammates (even Tomas Kaberle, the original Ochocinco) showed up to meet President Obama, give him the shirt (No. 11) and listen to the president as he pretended to have a clue about the 2011 Boston Bruins (Obama is the most powerful man on the planet and also one of the three or four worst sports fans in America; he's even bad for a politician).

Fast and Furious: Cunningham Will Take the Fifth....

An update to a story from yesterday: Patrick Cunningham, chief of the Criminal Division of the Arizona U.S. Attorney’s office, has “stunned congressional staff” by announcing that he’ll take the Fifth when he responds to House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa’s subpoena next week. Cunningham got slapped with the subpoena after he suddenly backed out of a scheduled appearance before the committee, and Issa’s patience with his delaying tactics ran out.

Obama’s Brazilian Oil Disaster .....

Very interesting adjunct to the Keystone Oil pandering....

Obama has put a tremendous amount of effort into cultivating the Brazilian oil industry. In fact, he offered Brazil’s Petrobras oil company $2 billion in loan subsidies to encourage precisely the kind of offshore exploration he has forbidden American companies to engage in. His offshore drilling moratorium has already cost the American economy over a billion dollars, and killed 20,000 jobs.

Gun rights are natural rights ....Amen.....

Gun control advocates have it all wrong. They believe the Constitution is a document and agreement meant to be twisted and turned. They believe it grants rights to politicians and lawmakers, when it does just the opposite. They believe scare tactics will convince us that placing burdens on gun owners will prevent violent crimes, when all the evidence suggests otherwise.

Why aren't iPhones assembled in the U.S.? It's not due to labor costs.....

If you have an iPhone you have likely noted the small text on the back that states, “Designed by Apple in California. Assembled in China.” In the past Apple made all their products in the USA, but that is no longer possible today due to several factors detailed in an excellent New York Times article published on Saturday.

Apple, America and a Squeezed Middle Class.....

This article is a classic example of what is wrong in the US....and China...scares me when I agree with the NYT!

Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas.

Why can’t that work come home? Mr. Obama asked.

Mr. Jobs’s reply was unambiguous. “Those jobs aren’t coming back,” he said, according to another dinner guest.

Biden’s oops moment in SF: “Giants on their way to Super Bowl”....

He may as well say it...heck, the Giant's are talking like they already won.....

Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed San Francisco when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.”

A Snapshot of Our Times .....

Well said. I am a photographer....I also watch for odd behavior...
I think the Police have an impossible task....and my heart bleeds for our freedoms....

Shawn Nee, 35, works in television but hopes to publish a book of photographs. Shane Quentin, 31, repairs bicycles but enjoys photographing industrial scenes at night. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department probably wishes both would find other hobbies. Herewith a story of today's inevitable friction between people exercising, and others protecting, freedom.

The Problem With Rich Republicans - Alexander's Essays.....

A week before the unwarranted criticism of Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, I had a debate with a friend who is himself a successful venture capitalist. Our debate was about the rights and responsibilities that attend free enterprise capitalism.

First Lady Celebrates B-Day at Steakhouse Featuring $28 'Obama' Burger--Kobe Beef, Bacon, Cheese ......

Once again...."Let them eat cake".....

Michelle Obama celebrated her 48th birthday Tuesday night with her husband and friends at a D.C. steakhouse where the menu features a $28 hamburger named "The Obama."

State Department To Reject The Keystone Pipeline...

Here we go again....the Gulf all over again.....

The Obama administration is expected to reject the controversial Keystone Pipeline this afternoon, according to Fox News.

Transcanada will however be able to reapply with an alternate route going through Nebraska.

Fight over gun laws heats up....

Friday a federal judge threw out a lawsuit filed by gun shop owners to stop the Obama Administration from tracking certain gun sales, but now the National Rifle Association is firing back.

A spokesperson with the NRA says no amount of paperwork will ever stop drug cartels from getting their hands on guns, something the rule was designed to do.

He says laws, especially in New Mexico are already strict enough.

Brady Center loses bid.....

The PLCAA was passed in 2005 with broad bipartisan support. The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and retailers from being held liable for crimes committed with their products. In this case, the plaintiffs, who were represented by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, sought to hold the firearms retailer liable in a wrongful death and negligence claim because a firearm had been stolen from his store.

SOPA Derailed.....

U.S. House Judiciary Committee Member Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) opponent has announced that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has promised him that he will not bring the bill to the floor. That mean, for all practical intents and purposes, that SOPA is dead.

Did the Founders Support Free-Market Capitalism?

Although the term capitalism was scarcely in use at the time of the Founding, the Founders supported the principle of economic liberty underlying it. The Founders understood that property rights and free markets were constitutive elements of what it means to be free. They therefore believed that government has a responsibility to protect the rights of all to participate in the economy by upholding contracts, lifting artificial trade barriers, and protecting the right to acquire, possess, and freely use property.

South Carolinians Have a Right to Work

This week, all eyes are on South Carolina as the Palmetto State votes on Saturday in the next Republican presidential primary contest. Jobs and the economy are rightly being debated by the entire political spectrum.

Occupiers eligible for federal homeless aid ......

And they STILL wonder why there is a Tea Party.....

It’s now official: The so-called “Occupiers” protesting in cities from New York to California are eligible to be considered for homeless assistance under new guidelines issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Valerie Jarrett and the Pulpit...

Even though I DO NOT feel Thomas Jefferson EVER envisioned how we have used his writing's to bastardize Religion and politics...IF WE ARE GOING TO...then there is a valid question here....

Valerie Jarrett’s partisan speech at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church may have violated the IRS tax rules for churches’ political activities, said a prominent free speech attorney.

“It is problematic under current regulations,” said Erik Stanley, a senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, which is campaigning to roll back IRS curbs on believers’ speech.

13 Things to remember about carrying a gun....

Being a gun owner...and needing a smile this AM..this article delivered!

Gun lovers. Herewith are thirteen things to remember when carrying your weapon. BTW- this list is not original. I’ve Google up the bullet points but alas …I got nada in regards to who penned it. If and when someone schools me on who the author is you can rest assure that I’ll give him or her proper praise. Enjoy.

Ryan Jerome - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

They’re fighting to save Private Ryan — from jail.
Marines across the country are rushing to the rescue of former fellow leatherneck Ryan Jerome, who is facing prison time after trying to check his Indiana-registered handgun at the Empire State Building on Sept. 27.
In multiple blog and chat-group postings and letter-writing campaigns — some aimed directly at NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, a Marine Vietnam veteran — the Marines are urging that the charges be dropped against their “brother.”
“It is just overwhelming, the love and support I am receiving from my fellow Marines,” said Jerome, 28, a former private first class whose father and grandfather were Marines and who was a TOW gunner before his honorable discharge in 2005.

Marines Rallying Support for Ryan Jerome Arrested for Gun at Empire State Building....

This Former Marine deserves OUR support! This is the Nanny State of NY & NYC run amok!

Dave Bruce, a former Marine himself and Boston lawyer, is putting together an online campaign through leatherneck.com that, according to the NY Post, “will send its first 14 e-mails to Kelly, Mayor Bloomberg and DA Cyrus Vance today.” There is also a Facebook group that supports Ryan Jerome’s release.

Seizing the Wealth of Landlords, One District at a Time

Absolutely amazing...however, NOT surprising!

Tenants soon started taking advantage of the Court's largesse by withholding rent, even when only minor violations, or none at all, existed. And tenants also learned that when faced with bills they could not pay, they could simply stop paying rent, charge their landlords with failing to meet their obligations under the local housing code, and squeeze out a rent abatement, thus allowing them to make ends meet. All too often, tenants even manufactured their own code violations and called city housing inspectors to issue citations to their landlords. Despite the fact that these homemade code violations were obviously self-inflicted, housing inspectors were happy to go along with the gamesmanship. In fact, it became their job to do so.

Gov. Cuomo's ex wife Kerry Kennedy in $40 million anti-oil deal

Just like Joe Kennedy....so "selfless"......what's he up to running his "non-profit"...?.....$750/M per year......selfless.
However, if these two were Conservative....VULTURES!!!!!!!

Governor Andrew Cuomo's (D-NY) ex-wife Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, stands to make up to $40 million while promoting a ridiculous $18 billion judgment from an Ecuadoran court against Chevron by indigenous peoples. That case, where the US judge hearing Chevron's countersuit stated that much of the evidence presented in Ecuador was "fraudulent," has been a windfall for western environmental groups who gleefully pounced on the opportuntity to politicize a case that never should have gone to trial.

Gun Charges Dropped _ More New York Nanny State nonsense!

Felony gun charges have been dropped against Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler, who on Thursday agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and pay a fine.

In an episode that outraged 2nd amendment advocates, Meckler in December was arrested at a New York City airport after attempting to check a locked gun box holding his Glock 27 pistol and ammunition with a Delta Air Lines ticket agent.

Believing in Tim Tebow.....I do....and I'm a Pats fan!

I really like Tim Tebow. The whole thing...prayers, playing, off field. I really didn't like having to root against him twice this season ( I also REALLY like Tom Brady )...but this kid is special. He transcends football. Take a moment and read this. He isn't just throwing touchdowns on the football field.

Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to the Broncos game, rents them a car, puts them up in a nice hotel, buys them dinner (usually at a Dave & Buster's), gets them and their families pregame passes, visits with them just before kickoff (!), gets them 30-yard-line tickets down low, visits with them after the game (sometimes for an hour), has them walk him to his car, and sends them off with a basket of gifts.

Obama and the Constitution: How Inconvenient!

How very true...and this part of Obama's make-up is what worries me every day....

It's really inconvenient. It prevents him from doing anything he wants, any time he wants. He has to be, like a naughty five-year old boy, be sort of sneaky about it.

So we have a President, the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, head of the strongest military the world has ever seen, who apparently has the strength of character of a five-year old boy.

Soros-Funded Media Matters For America Purposefully Omits Full Perry Quote....

Gov. Perry is right...let the Military take care of this....

“These kids made a mistake, there’s not any doubt about it,” he said. “[They\] shouldn’t have done it, it’s bad — but to call it a criminal act, I think is over the top.”

Michelle For Senate In 2016?

Oh Lord...how can we miss them if they won't GO AWAY??????............

Michelle For Senate In 2016?

Justice Department memo argues Obama recess appointments were legal ....and when is Eric Holder ever wrong......?

Of course they are....!?....and I have a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell ya cheap!

The Department of Justice offered a defense Thursday for President Obama’s controversial decision to make several recess appointments while Congress was holding pro forma sessions.

In a memo, Justice argued the pro forma sessions held every third day in the Senate do not constitute a functioning body that can render advice and consent on the president’s nominees. It said the president acted consistently under the law by making the appointments.

Another ATF weapons operation comes under scrutiny.......my...my...my....

Gee....I shocked...just shocked.....yawn....does this stuff surprise anyone anymore?

Reporting from Washington—
In the late summer of 2010, the ATF agent leading the failed Fast and Furious gun-smuggling operation in Arizona flew to Mexico City to help coordinate cross-border investigations of U.S. weapons used by Mexican drug cartels.

Sen. Rand Paul Cuts $500K From his Office Budget, Returns it to the Treasury......

He quite literally put His...."Our" money where is mouth is!

How does he do it? Some would say frugality.

“We look at all of our office expenses. We look at the coffee pot to the computers bought and we try to buy things as if it were our money we were spending, or your money that we were spending, and our goal is not to spend all of it, our goal is to save some of it,” Paul said.

Perry ad: ‘I’m not about to quit’.....GOOD!

It's sad that one mis-step during a STUPID debate has ruined his Candidacy. A theatrical Debate....this is how we pick our leaders. We pick them by whomever can avoid the "Gotcha" line. This, my friends...is pathetic...and look what it got us the last time...

In a new Rick Perry Web advertisement called “Champion,” the Texas governor says he’s committed to staying in the GOP presidential race and is capable of staging a comeback.

The Worst Economic Recovery Since The Great Depression...No surprise to those out here in the Fruited Plains!

The record of President Obama’s first three years in office is in, and nothing that happens now can go back and change that. What that record shows is that President Obama, with his throwback, old-fashioned, 1970s Keynesian economics, has put America through the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression.

Pictures of Obama, White House ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Party in 2009 With Johnny Depp....

More "Let them eat cake".....


A lot has been said over the last two days about the White House’s now-infamous “Alice in Wonderland” Halloween party from 2009. It was an extravagant affair featuring actor Johnny Depp and filmmaker Tim Burton in costume. Conservatives have panned the president for having such a party during economic turmoil, and generally keeping it hush-hush. Liberals (and even some conservatives) have defended the president, either saying the party was mentioned to some degree, or that the president‘s Halloween plans shouldn’t be national news.

No matter what side you take, it’s still conceivable that you would want to see pictures from the event, right? We thought so.

Supreme Court Justices ‘Blast’ EPA for Telling Idaho Couple They Can’t Build on ‘Protected Wetlands’......

Can't happen in the US?...Friends, it IS happening in the US. This case is not isolated....

Several conservative members of the Supreme Court criticized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday for heavy-handed enforcement of rules affecting homeowners after the government told an Idaho couple they can’t challenge an order declaring their future home site a “protected wetlands.”

Justice Antonin Scalia assailed the “high-handedness” of the environmental agency when dealing with private property, and Justice Samuel Alito described some of the EPA’s actions as “outrageous,“ arguing that most people would say ”this kind of thing can’t happen in the United States.”

New York Tourist from Ohio Caught With Three Guns in Hotel Room....another "Evl" Tourist....

Hey, Bloomberg....has anyone in NY got an ounce of common sense? You are just wracking up the arrests of Tourists, ey? No salt, No smoke, No guns, No life....Nope, can't say "I Love NY" anymore!

The list of New York City tourists facing gun-possession charges keeps growing. Not only was a Tenn. nurse arrested for trying to check her gun at the 9/11 Memorial, but an Indiana jeweler was taken into custody when he tried to check his firearm at the Empire State Building. And now, an Ohio man who brought his three guns to his hotel room for protection, and had a permit in his home state, has been arrested on similar charges.

Obamacare waivers....Unions Only need apply...and receive!

The corruption of this Administration is absolutely breathtaking. If Bush were doing these things....the Media's hair would be on fire!

Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.

Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama‘s signature legislation since June 17, 2011.

By contrast, private employers with a total of 69,813 employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted waivers.

Students Laugh At Obama When He Tells Them "You Inspire Me" ....wouldn't you???

"I want you to know you're the reason that I ran for this office in the first place. You remind me what we are still fighting for," Obama said to tepid cheers.

"You inspire me," Obama said to an audience that laughed at him.

Osama bin Laden movie leaks investigated by Defense Department....use it for political gain...Not the "Chosen One"..!?

King, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, previously called for a probe to look into any sort of cooperation between federal agencies and producers for the movie, which at the time had been scheduled for an October release — a month before the elections.

Georgia ethanol plant sold, at taxpayers' loss....ONLY 65 million.....

The failed Range Fuels wood-to-ethanol factory in southeastern Georgia that sucked up $65 million in federal and state tax dollars was sold Tuesday for pennies on the dollar to another bio-fuel maker with equally grand plans to transform the alternative energy world.

Michelle Obama Jokes: "I Kind Of Like" Being Called "Your Excellency"......I bet!

Once again, "Let them eat cake"....

Obama surprises the girl and her friends, which leads to her being called "Your Excellency" by Carly's friend Sam Puckett.

After being corrected by a friend that you don't call the First Lady that, Michelle Obama jumps in and says "No, no, I kind of like it."

Law Abiding Marine in gun nightmare...due to a total lack of common sense by Officials......

This is when it is obvious we have abandon all common sense. Saying they HAVE TO give him the minimum even if he didn't knowingly do anything wrong is patently ridiculous. We elect and hire "Officials" to interpret the law. They get lazy and fall back on what is written when they don't want to get involved. When it's politically "hot". This is a Marine - properly licensed. Use your head!

Ryan Jerome was enjoying his first trip to New York City on business when the former Marine Corps gunner walked up to a security officer at the Empire State Building and asked where he should check his gun.

That was when Jerome’s nightmare began. The security officer called police and Jerome spent the next two days in jail.

Chris Kyle, Military’s Deadliest Sniper, Releases New Book: ‘American Sniper’.....

Thank god they are on OUR side!

Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle has the nickname “the legend.” It’s a title given to him by his fellow soldiers. And once you hear his story, you’ll understand why.

Kyle is the “deadliest in U.S. history,” the New York Post says. So how many kills have earned him that designation? Just 160. He details many of them — and many other stories — in his new book, “American Sniper,” which hits bookstores today.

‘You got a Name?’: Feisty Rick Perry Demands Politico Journalist ‘Out His Source’

This is the Rick Perry I know....wish this version showed up at the debates....we wouldn't be worried about Ron Paul right now.....

“Governor, some of your staffers have told us that you ran this as a gubernatorial campaign for too long and you didn’t look big enough, get big enough, fast enough,” said Mike Allen. “Do you take some responsibility?”

“I don‘t know who you’re talking to,” said a slightly smirking Perry, “So I can’t respond unless you give me a name.”

Obama’s Signing Statement on NDAA: I have the power to detain Americans… but I won’t....so, does THAT make you feel better?

As Americans look upon the treacherous legislation passed under NDAA 2012, it it should first be remembered that the very bill President Obama threatened to veto was controversial due to the language the Obama White House itself pressured Congress to add to the bill, according to Sen. Carl Levin.

On a $4M Vacation, Michelle Seeks $3 From Backers....Hello?!

Speaking from her paradisical $4 million Hawaii vacation, Mrs. Obama wants to know: Do any of President Obama’s supporters have $3 to spare for his reelection?

This is approximately like coming upon Warren Buffett on a street corner with a McDonald’s cup asking if he can have 15 cents.

Romney describes healthcare mandate as conservative principle.........

THIS is why I will NOT support Mitt Romney. I live here. This whole system is propped up by the Feds to make it look like it works. After almost 30 years of my company paying 100% for employee health care, we had to give it up because costs got to be too much. I have no insurance however PAY EVERY BILL when I see a doctor. I PAY. Then I have to pay a fine because someone else didn't be responsible and pay? THIS IS NOT CONSERVATIVE. We are doomed......

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said the insurance mandate included in the Massachusetts healthcare law he signed is fundamentally a conservative principle.

Speaking Wednesday on “Fox and Friends,” Romney defended the Bay State’s healthcare law, which includes a version of the individual mandate, as inline with the Republican world view. The individual mandate was the centerpiece and most controversial aspect of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which has widely been blasted by Republicans as governmental overreach.

Government-sponsored comedy routine is no joke....

What is making this tour unique enough to get international attention is that — wait for it — it’s being paid for by the United States government. [laugh track]

Thank you. Thank you very much. Don’t forget to tip the wait staff. They’ll be there all week.

SOPA Threatens Free Speech and Jeopardizes Internet Security

Would you be outraged if the Department of Justice shut down The Foundry without any warning and blocked access for more than a year?

That’s exactly what happened to a hip-hop blog called Dajaz1.com, which was falsely accused of criminal copyright infringement. The blog posted music from artists promoting their work. But federal authorities viewed it differently. They seized the domain name, then shared virtually no information with its owner for more than year. Only recently did they quietly drop the case.

Woman Gun Owners - growing!

The face of the American gun owner is changing.

More women than ever are picking up rifles, shotguns, and handguns. And target shooting is one of the fastest-growing female sports.

But, looks can be deceiving. We're not talking "Dirty Harriet" here, notes "Early Show" contributor Katrina Szish.

Affordable Care? New Obamacare Fee Coming to Health Insurance in 2012.....

A tax by any other name...........they did SUCH a nice job managing Arlington Cemetery ( NOT!) can't WAIT for them to handle our Health Care!

The goal of the research, part of a little-known provision of President Barack Obama’s health care law, is to answer such basic questions as whether that new prescription drug advertised on TV really works better than an old generic costing much less.

But in the politically charged environment surrounding health care, the idea of medical effectiveness research is eyed with suspicion. The insurance fee could be branded a tax and drawn into the vortex of election-year politics.

Our Great Leader....?.........Recognizes "Made up" Holiday...but not Christmas.....

Of course he didn't......

But, Barack Obama did issue a statement in celebration of the fake holiday Kwanzaa on Monday December 26.
From the White House website:

Gun sales go UP....Crime goes DOWN....

The FBI statistics undermine a favorite argument of anti-gun groups and some mainstream media that “more guns equal more crime,” especially when you consider that the continuing decrease in violent crime parallels record firearm sales.

Rick Perry-Make Congress Part-Time! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking aim at his rivals who have served in Congress, Perry says in the ad that, “If Washington’s the problem, why trust a congressman to fix it?”

“Among them, they’ve spent 63 years in Congress, leaving us with debt, earmarks and bailouts,” he said. “Congressmen get $174,000 a year and you get the bill.”

Michelle Obama and getting rid of the Second Amendment........

When Americans flock to the polls in 13 months, we will not simply decide which direction our country should take over the next four years. Rather, we will decide whether or not our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms will survive over the next several decades.

Currently, the Second Amendment clings to a 5-4 pro-freedom majority on the Supreme Court. Just one vote is all that stands between the America our Founding Fathers established and a radically different America that Barack Obama and his supporters envision.

Whose Country Is It, Anyway?....good question these days....

"In Leesburg, Va., a Santa-suit-clad skeleton was nailed to a cross. ... In Santa Monica, atheists were granted 18 of 21 plots in a public park allotted for holiday displays and ... erected signs mocking religion. In the Wisconsin statehouse, a sign informs visitors, 'Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.' A video that has gone viral on YouTube shows denizens of Occupy D.C. spewing gratuitous hatred of a couple who dared to appropriate a small patch of McPherson Square to set up a living Nativity scene."

This election is a referendum on America!

"[The election] is a referendum on the American idea, not on Barack Obama and his handling of the economy," Ryan told HUMAN EVENTS. "It is, 'Do you want to reclaim the founding principles that made us exceptional and great, an opportunity society with a circumscribed safety net? Or do you want the cradle-to-grave welfare state?' "

Obama says he won't be bound by gun control ban in omnibus ....He's KING anyway, isn't he?

The Obama administration won't be bound by a gun control ban in the $1 trillion spending bill for 2012, the president said Friday.

The funding provision for the federal health agency says that "none of the funds made available in this title may be used, in whole or in part, to advocate or promote gun control." The language aims to ban taxpayer dollars from supporting gun safety research.

Nancy Pelosi Celebrated Christmas in a $10,000 Hotel Suite....

But "they" understand the "Common People" better than the Common Folk do...."Let them eat cake!"

Over the weekend, Hawaii experienced an invasion of powerful, Democratic politicians seeking over-the-top Christmas vacation experiences.

First came President Obama’s extravagant getaway — a Hawaiian escapade that at least one estimate claims will amount to $4,113,038 (the family’s beach-front home rental is said to cost up to $3,500 per day). Now, there’s House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her allegedly lavish holiday getaway.

Sen. Harry Reid's Unicorns: Fact Checking A Whopper .....

“Millionaire job creators are like unicorns. They’re impossible to find, and they don’t exist… Only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than 1 percent, are small business owners. And only a tiny fraction of that tiny fraction are traditional job creators…Most of these businesses are hedge fund managers or wealthy lawyers. They don’t do much hiring and they don’t need tax breaks.”
