Metropolitan Baptist Church Won’t Let Hannity Play Jeremiah Wright Sermon......

You cannot tell me...us...that Rev. Wright did this to be quiet....to be secretive....he's SHOUTING from the roof tops...and we'd better SHOUT BACK!

Metropolitan Baptist Church in Charleston, West Virginia, has refused to allow Fox News to play the controversial Jeremiah Wright videos from their revival last weekend.

The shocking, class warfare rhetoric, which was originally seen in full videos the church posted on its web site, was first revealed by The Blaze on Monday. Last night, despite video limitations, Fox News host Sean Hannity covered Wright’s shocking statements on his program.

White House Basketballs Adorned With Obama’s Image....just imagine GWB doing this......

As part of its Easter Egg Roll festivities, the White House is conducting a basketball clinic for kids featuring pro players. Have a look the ball being used, as Tweeted by ABC White House Correspondent Jake Tapper.

"War on Women" Rhetoric Shows That Lies Work....

I have trouble believing people are THIS STUPID. 
However, I do know people are LAZY about what is so damned important and just listen to sound bites....
SHOUT IT FROM THE HILLS! We're NOT going to take this ANYMORE!

Democrats think they're on to something, and they're not giving up on their latest "divide and conquer" tactic, straight out of their century-long "Progressive" playbook (along with Saul Alinsky's manual for the left) that aims to gain and keep political power by causing certain Americans to dislike or distrust other Americans.

Whether it's pitting whites against non-whites, the rich against the not-rich, the old against the not-old (through Medi-scare arguments), or -- as has been the subject of the latest full-court press -- women against Republicans (because, presumably, all Republicans are men), the left's electoral strategy is one of inculcating hate among the citizens. So much for their vaunted tolerance and diversity.

Guess What, Mr. President?...The Oil Industry DOES NOT recieve "subsidies"...

In contrast to renewables, the oil and gas industry receives about $2.8 billion in tax preferences. Not only do these incentives pale by comparison to the subsidies for wind and solar, especially when compared on a Btu-equivalent basis, but the economy gets a lot more bang for the buck.

The Center for American Progress’ War on Veterans......

 We cut the military....The Best among US. I think the last figure I heard was 100,000. We cut their retirement benefits. GOOD GOOD folks I know in our military are thinking of leaving before they lose what they EARNED. EARNED. Folks I know that have seen battle. Who have watched friends DIE for US. Pretty soon our military will be a shadow of what it is today....the BEST THERE IS. Me thinks this is part of the PLAN.

While spending under Obama has dramatically increased, the only part of the budget that the radical administration appears to be willing to cut is military spending. But cuts to military spending don’t just involve hardware, but also target human beings. The most shameful cuts involve dramatic increases to health care costs for veterans.

Health-care law will add $340 billion to deficit, new study finds.....WHAT a surprise....?...NOT!

WHY WHY WHY does ANYONE in their RIGHT MIND ( That may be the caveat ) think ANYTHING the Government "takes over" would be more cost effective? 
This hasn't even BEEN IMPLEMENTED and it's blowing apart our economy. I mean.....destroying what is left of our economy! 
What does anyone think THEY can do it better than US? We put them in Office!!!
WE THE PEOPLE. 
We ARE smarter than those arrogant ( most ) jerks that claim to be our "leaders". 
If only WE THE PEOPLE would WAKE UP!

 President Obama’s landmark health-care initiative, long touted as a means to control costs, will actually add more than $340 billion to the nation’s budget woes over the next decade, according to a new study by a Republican member of the board that oversees Medicare financing.

White House Won't Let Rep. Issa Question Key Staffer About Fast and Furious

If they are all so innocent....why block Issa?

The most transparent administration ever has just invoked Executive Privilege in refusing to allow Congressman Issa and Senator Grassley to question former NSA White House staffer, Kevin O'Reilly regarding Operation Fast and Furious.

Kathryn Ruemmler, counsel to the president, denied Issa's demand to speak with O'Reilly.

White House stealthily diverts $500 million to IRS for Obamacare enforcement

You would think a "Health Care" Bill would get funding for...Oh...better software, cost cutting state of the art machinery, etc....etc....Not the IRS......tells you ALOT about this bill doesn't it?
 President Obama is playing shell game with tax dollars in order to rush implementation of Obamacare before the Supreme Court strikes it down.

It may also be a ploy to bring Obamacare implementation so far along, that the Supreme Court will be reluctant to overturn the entire bill.

Fracking is Blamed for … Well, Everything, Really.....

“… There’s a thing called fracking. They’ve got to go crack the rock in order to get [oil and gas] out. You can environmentally do that well or you can environmentally do that poorly,” the vice president said.

“If you do it poorly, you use up the water aquifer. [Huh?! - Ed.] You can create, in some cases the argument is, earthquakes,” he concluded.

Gun Advocate thought of as "Evil" by Obama.....

Economist John Lott, noted for his academic advocacy of gun rights, says that when Barack Obama was his colleague at the University of Chicago, the future president treated him as if he were “evil.”

Former GSA Head Rejects Push To 'blame' Bush Administration Over Vegas Conference......

The former head of the General Services Administration blasted the Obama administration Monday for blaming its predecessor over the lavish Las Vegas conference thrown by a division of that agency.

Lurita Doan, who headed the agency under then-President George W. Bush until her resignation in 2008, told Fox News that President Obama's team is trying to "divert attention" from its own scandal.

Orlando's Rep. Adams: Rep. Sandy Adams fears Obama power grab .....

 This is SO important to watch. The Press kept it below the radar. Funny - they'll be crushed by this power too if unleashed!

A White House order updating federal emergency powers has raised alarm among some conservative commentators, and U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams, that President Barack Obama is attempting to grab unconstitutional powers.

A columnist with The Washington Times declared the mid-March order — an update of a 60-year-old document outlining the president's authority in a national emergency — "stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution." The conservative Drudge Report website linked to it with the headline, "Martial Law?"

Government Surveillance Crackdown On Internet Goes Into Overdrive .....

If this happened under Bush - they would be SCREAMING because of the law of unintended consequences. We should be SCREAMING anyway!

While Clarke may well be coming at this subject well intentioned, the fact that government has a long history of attempting to crackdown on internet freedom and control the web will mean his words are a cause of concern for many.

O'Keefe Voter Fraud Investigation: Young Man Offered Holder's Ballot

The video shows a young man entering a Washington, DC polling place at 3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, on primary day of this year – April 3, 2012 – and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot to vote.

Holder has maintained that voter fraud is not a major problem in the United States, and that voter ID would not curb voter fraud in any case.

Don Cheadle More Outraged By NBC's EditGate Than Politico

Good for him...

Don Cheadle, actor and anti-genocide activist, mocked NBC News and accused the network of "bias" for their broadcast of an edited 911 tape portraying Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman as a racist.

"Dear NBC News, Huh???" Cheadle tweeted along with a link to the story containing NBC's apology. "It was 'an error made in the production process that we deeply regret.' Really? 'Error?'" he added in a follow-up tweet. "Anybody out there know anything about editing?"

Record 87,897,000 Americans Not in the Labor Force

Amid disappointing unemployment numbers that fell 80,000 jobs short of projections, another number is raising eyebrows: the number of Americans not in the labor force has hit a record high 87,897,000.

This figure explains why overall unemployment dropped from 8.3% to 8.2%, as the Department of Labor's unemployment figure does not include people who have given up hope and are not actively seeking employment.

CNN Guest: Having Palin On Today Show Cheapens NBC News Journalistic Brand More Than Edited Zimmerman Tape

NBC...Journalistic? Haven't seen those two in same sentence in decades!

“It showed how frightened they [NBC] are by the move that GMA is making on them, number one. I also think the fact that GMA and ABC said, ‘Hey, we can throw Couric out here occasionally,’ scared them and rattled them. But more importantly, bringing Sarah Palin on that show, even if it got you a little ratings bump for the day she was on and it deflected some attention from Katie Couric, was another case of Today cheapening the journalistic brand of NBC News, which runs that show.” - David Zurawik

‘America Is Better Than Glenn Beck’: Anti-Beck Writings in College Textbook....

Nothing to worry about here.....good sweet lord....

 “Read, Reason, Write: An Argument Text and Reader” is a critical reading and analysis book assigned to freshmen at Lone Star College-University Park in Houston. Its 10th edition features a collection of readings excoriating Beck and the Tea Party, while providing only the barest counter point of view.

Bill Cosby weighs in on Trayvon Martin case....

No it's not...don't blame the gun...blame society. Blame what we've allowed it to become. I have a gun. I carry a gun. I do not plan on shooting anyone.  It does not "empower" me.....
Let the grand jury figure this one out based on facts. But one fact I know...unequivocally. It wasn't the guns fault...

  “When you carry a gun, you mean to harm somebody, kill somebody,” he said.

NFP Big Miss: 120K, Expectations 205K, Unemployment 8.2%, "Not In Labor Force" At New All Time High.....

And as always, as we predicted when Goldman hiked its NFP forecast yesterday from 175K to 200K saying "if Goldman's recent predictive track record is any indication, tomorrow's NFP will be a disaster", Goldie once again skewers everyone. Finally, Joe LaVorgna's 250,000 forecast was just 100% off... as usual.

The unemployment rate drops to 8.2% for one simple reason: the number of people not in the labor force is back to all time highs: 87,897,000.

Panetta has paid $17,000 for commuting to Calif.....

Trust me...I want our government Officials safe....especially in the world we now all live in...but this seems a "tad" Pelosi-esk....

  Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has commuted on military aircraft to his home in northern California more than two dozen times since he took over the Pentagon in July, paying about $630 per trip for a roundtrip flight that costs the Pentagon about $32,000.

The totals detailed by defense officials lay out his reimbursements for the first time, showing he paid the Treasury about $17,000 for the 27 personal trips. Based on fuel and other operating expenses for his Air Force plane, those same trips cost the government as much as $860,000.

Obama: GOP vision results in 'poisoning our kids'.....

This continued inane divisive rhetoric stream from a man who was going to Heal the World....

President Obama suggested this evening that the Republican governing agenda will lead to "poisoning our kids" with pollution.

"I believe that it is part of our solemn responsibility to future generations that we look after this planet; that we make sure our air is clean and our water is clean; that we’re not poisoning our kids," Obama said at a campaign fundraiser tonight. That credo came as he explained that "the contrast between visions in this election could not be more stark, because I believe that America is stronger when we’re looking for one another."

Mark Stevens: A Profile in Courage

In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of his conscience -- the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men -- each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient -- they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
-- John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage

Chinese websites 'defaced in Anonymous attack'

Ha! What goes around.....

Targets hit in the mass defacement included government sites, its official agencies, trade groups and many others.

A message put on the hacked sites said the attack was carried out to protest against the Chinese government's strict control of its citizens.

It urged Chinese people to join Anonymous and stage their own protests against the regime.

Taxmageddon: Massive Tax Increase Coming in 2013

If President Obama and Congress fail to act this year, an enormous, unprecedented tax increase will fall on American taxpayers starting on January 1, 2013. The Washington Post called the looming tax increase “Taxmageddon,”[1] and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke called it a “massive fiscal cliff.”[2]

U.S. Taxes Set to Go Up by $494 billion in 2013

Brace yourself. In a mere 271 days, you and your fellow Americans will be hit with a tax hike the likes of which this country has never seen. The Washington Post aptly called the unprecedented $494 billion tax hike “Taxmageddon,” and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke described it as a “massive fiscal cliff.” Whatever your preferred imagery, it’s a really big deal.

New Website Launched to Protect Union Workers' Rights

Sally Coomer from SEIU, Terry Bowman from UAW, and Claire Waites from NEA testified their rights were violated when their union leaders used their dues for political activity they did not support. Chairman Darrell Issa sent out six letters to union leaders and government agencies based on this testimony. The letters went to National Education Association, Alabama Education Association, Service Employees International Union, United Auto Workers, Federal Election Commission, and National Labor Relations Board. Chairman Issa issued the following statement:

Coca-Cola Caves to Left Wing Bullying, Drops from Conservative Group

Too bad...I like Diet Coke.....Hell, I'll still buy it - But it would be nice to see a Company with some balls...sorry...but it is what it is.

This sort of coordination can come only from the top. And it is certainly interesting that the Democrats and their allies are using precisely the same sort of tactics – secondary boycotts – that they used with regard to Rush Limbaugh. This is their new overall strategy: target private businesses that support their opponents, and drive them into the ground with the tacit and not-so-tacit backing of government figures. Such coordination is an assault on the First Amendment of tremendous proportions.

Stall Brook Elementary School Removes God from Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA.....

Here is the thing. I usually "try" to have a tea or coffee BEFORE I sign on-line. Because I know it's usually going to take less than 30 minutes for my head to explode....
Well, the other morning when we got up to GO TO WORK like "most" of us at the butt crack of dawn....I turned on the TV...first mistake.
There was a side by side picture of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. The commentator asked what was wrong with one of these pictures...
I bit...
One had Cookie Monster eating...wait for it...a Cookie!
The other one had, yup....you guessed it...all kinds of fruit lying on the counter in front of him...with him eating....don't wait for it, a banana.....
A banana....Cookie Monster....
Now, I'm all for kids eating well. However that should be at the hands of their parents. Not the Schools, not the Media, not the Government, not Sesame Street.....the parents.
When I came home from school, we were "allowed" to have a few Chip's Ahoy and we went out to play.
My Mom monitored what we ate and when.....That's what Parents do....
Cookie Monster....eating bananas. 
Needless to say....my head exploded in less than 5 minutes that morning.
Now this...
By changing and/or doing away with...."they" think we won't notice....that WE won't take offense.
WE THE PEOPLE pay these salaries....pay for alot of Public TV ( Sesame Street )....
When are we going to WAKE UP and realize WE pull the strings that make this Country what it is....not the few Elite?!
GET OUT of my schools, my home, my bedroom, my healthcare, my wallet, my car, my TV, my newspapers.......MY COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
GOD Bless the USA!

Is God under attack in Massachusetts? This is a question that some of the state’s residents may be asking after the Stall Brook Elementary School in Bellingham removed the word “God” from Lee Greenwood’s, “God Bless the U.S.A.” The song was reportedly changed to, “We love the U.S.A.” Then, following outrage, the school pulled the song all together from a fourth-grade assembly.

Founding Fathers Were ‘Wrong And Immoral’ ....

In a brief respite from the joys of the circular firing squad known as conservative politics, today’s column focuses on the left… the far left… the ‘progressive left‘, a.k.a. the Democratic Party.

The Florida Progressive Coalition Blog put out a piece yesterday titled The Constitution Is NOT the Bible. Typically, I avoid the drivel coming from the far left for selfish reasons, namely to keep my head from exploding, however, this piece so accurately captures the state of mind of the far left that it makes an excellent case study.

Why Zimmerman Has Not Been Arrested....

Excellent primer for Jesse and Al.....

The bottom line in this case……. The police in Florida do not have the authority to arrest Zimmerman at this point until an arrest warrant is issued by a competent judicial authority or the Grand Jury.

And believe me….. we do not want to live in a country where police can arrest someone just because the citizens are crying out for it to happen, or, for that matter, because someone on the police department WANTS to.

Our Dangerous Dependence on Foreign Chocolate....

Excellent analogy.....

A majority of us consume chocolate each day. Although the U.S. produces only 6% of the world’s cocoa, we consume more than 20%.

The threat is obvious. It’s time for government to step in and promote alternatives.

Any day, President Obama will be barnstorming the country to tell us, “If we really want chocolate security and chocolate independence, we’ve got to start looking at how we use less cocoa and use sources that we can renew and that we can control, so we are not subject to the whims of what’s happening in other countries.”

Welcome Back, Baseball .....

Go Red Sox!!!!!!!!!

At last, the long winter of our discontent is over. America’s pastime has returned to its home fields. Tonight, the World Champion Cardinals take on the revamped Miami Marlins in the United States opener. Tomorrow, the other 28 teams return to work. Although the game has changed to a huge extent since the days when fielders (including catchers) played barehanded and pitchers threw underhanded from 50 feet, and although the game has become almost as international in character as soccer, as fans file into stands today and tomorrow bedecked in their favorite team’s gear, baseball remains an affirmation of the rebirth of spring and of our uniquely American sense of community and competition. And for fans of all 30 teams (except the Astros), it is a day of eternal hope.

Crane Chronicles Part II: The Care and Feeding of Board Members

In Part II, we turn focus on an episode involving Ed Crane’s interactions with Cato’s Board of Directors and its fiduciary responsibilities.

“That kind of question is not appropriate for our dinner discussion this evening—save it for the board meeting tomorrow!” Ed Crane yelled at one of Cato’s newest board members, Nancy Pfotenhauer.

“How would you ever know anything about Cato’s policy priorities?!” he barked.

DHS To Grant Illegal Aliens “Unlawful Presence Waivers” ....

They think we aren't watching....but we are....PASS THIS ON!

In its quest to implement stealth amnesty, the Obama Administration is working behind the scenes to halt the deportation of certain illegal immigrants by granting them “unlawful presence waivers.”

The new measure would apply to illegal aliens who are relatives of American citizens. Here is how it would work, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement posted in today’s Federal Register, the daily journal of the U.S. government; the agency will grant “unlawful presence waivers” to illegal aliens who can prove they have a relative that’s a U.S. citizen.

It Begins… Youths Screaming “This Is For Trayvon” Beat 78 Year-Old White Man in Toledo......

So Al...Jesse....ya happy now?

One boy, he said, put his foot on the back of the victim’s neck, with another shouting, “Kill him.”

While Mr. Watts was down the boys kicked him, over and over, shouting, “[Get] that white [man]. This is for Trayvon … Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man],” according to a police report.

Obama Campaign Not Using Verification System......

And this surprises us how??? Just more of the same and WE let it go on.....

The Obama campaign is not employing the widely used credit card address verification system to check whether the address submitted by a donor matches the address tied to the credit card, an omission that might allow supporters to use a fake identity when contributing.

The practice could potentially allow donors in possession of illicitly obtained credit card numbers to exceed the campaign limit, and to permit overseas supporters to contribute.

US Stocks: Stocks Fall on Global Fears, Dow Nears 13,000 ....

Stocks added to their sharp losses Wednesday as disappointment over the Fed's latest minutes and ongoing worries over the euro zone overshadowed a better-than-expected ADP jobs report.

DOE Rushed Treasury on Solyndra to Accommodate Press Release

Go ahead...I DARE ya....try and blame Bush..............

The Energy Department sent a draft press release to the Treasury on March 18, 2009, “announcing Solyndra’s conditional commitment planned for issuance later that afternoon,” the report said. The Treasury requested more time for review and later agreed with the Energy Department’s request to expedite the review by March 19, 2009, “so that the press release could be issued on the morning of March 20, 2009,” the report said.

Former Obama Student: Obama's Ignorance of Constitution Embarrassing

Prof. Thom Lambert of the University of Missouri Law School has responded with alarm to President Barack Obama's attack on the Supreme Court and the power of judicial review by recalling his own days as Obama's student at the University of Chicago.

Obama Attacks Ryan Budget in Associated Press Speech

In what was seemingly an attempt to criticize House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) FY2013 budget plan — the only such proposal to emerge from either the House or the Senate — the President dredged up his stale complaints about President George W. Bush’s policies — many of which he has maintained — and turned to scary rhetoric about Trojan horses and social Darwinism in order to paint the conservative vision for fixing America’s budget crisis as a radical one.

The Vetting - Obama's War on Catholic Church Began at His First Job

This was a crucial, formative time for the young Obama. It was during these years that Barack Obama, “community organizer,” forged his identity and the relationships that would bring him to the White House. And he did so hand-in-hand with the radical Catholic left in Chicago.

The President's Speech Distorts the Truth to Distract From His Failed Record

The President's attacks began with an admission that his assumptions reflect White House spin, not our budget's substance: “I want to go through what it would mean for our country if these cuts were to be spread out evenly." Of course, the assumption that our budget makes these kinds of indiscriminate cuts is false. The House Budget Committee made dozens of specific assumptions to justify our numbers, and we made these assumptions public in the hundreds of pages of text we posted in plain view on the House Budget Committee’s website. It’s not a “secret plan” to “never tell us where the knife may fall” – it is a specific plan to cut waste, eliminate programs that don’t work, end crony politics, and carefully prioritize hardworking taxpayers’ money in precisely the way leaders of the President’s party have refused to do for over three years. In a related vein, does this new standard allow for analyses of the President’s budget to go through what it would mean for the country if the President’s $2 trillion tax increase were to be spread out evenly?

Doctors call for end to five cancer tests, treatments ....

Not that I don't think the medical industry needs some changes....but....yup....Sarah Palin was right....

In a move that threatens to further inflame concerns about the rationing of medical care, the nation's leading association of cancer physicians issued a list on Wednesday of five common tests and treatments that doctors should stop offering to cancer patients.

The list emerged from a two-year effort, similar to a project other medical specialties are undertaking, to identify procedures that do not help patients live longer or better or that may even be harmful, yet are routinely prescribed.

United States Has Highest Corporate Tax Rate in the World.....swell...........

There aren’t many American-owned companies more iconic than Anheuser-Busch, the famous producer of Budweiser beer based in St. Louis, Missouri. That was true up until 2008, when the Brazilian-Belgian company InBev executed a hostile takeover of the historic brewer, leading to layoffs of more than 1,800 workers. Unfortunately, conditions in the United States are growing ripe for even more takeovers like these to occur, especially now that the nation’s corporate tax rate is officially the highest in the world.

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro is on a mission to rehabilitate George W. Bush's reputation. - Slate Magazine

Considering so much of what was said were outright lies and fabrications...this is NICE!

Jeffrey Scott Shapiro talks about George W. Bush the way Buddhists talk about the Dalai Lama. "He stands for truth, compassion and freedom," he says. "Bush instinctively sees the global picture that every living person has the right to be free." It's hardly surprising, then, that Shapiro founded Honor Freedom, an organization devoted to restoring Bush's reputation. And Shapiro may actually succeed—especially since Bush, too, will be working on the same project, if not the same organizatio

Look Who's Jet-Setting on the Taxpayer Dime This Week .....

Look Who's Jet-Setting on the Taxpayer Dime This Week | FreedomConnector

A nation arms itself -- for what? .....

According to Sen. Rand Paul, the U.N. "Small Arms Treaty" will almost surely mandate tougher licensing requirements to own a gun, require the confiscation and destruction of unauthorized civilian firearms, call for a ban on the trade, sale and private ownership of semi-automatic weapons, and create an international gun registry.

No more Colt .45s in the top drawer or M-1 rifles in the closet.

Memo to the U.N.: Lots of luck.

Uncle Obama on the roads again .....

And yet....we had a kid once working for us who had a DUI years in his past who STILL couldn't get one to help him work and support his family....
Maybe it was because he wasn't "Illegal"...!?! Of course!
As Martha ( Marsha ) Coakley so eloquently put it..."It's not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts"....

Just a week after he copped a plea in a drunken-driving rap, President Obama’s illegal-alien uncle has landed a hardship driver’s license from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, making it perfectly legal for him to drive in Massachusetts — even though the feds say he doesn’t belong here.

Obama biggest recipient of BP cash - Erika Lovley - POLITICO.com

And remember....every time he wants to take the "focus" off another failed plan of his Administration...he blames and chastises Big Oil.....He hates them til he needs them..... very John Kerry-esk....

While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.

Combative Obama warns Supreme Court on health law.....

Amazing....this President just steps on the Constitution and it's reason for being each day!

US President Barack Obama on Monday challenged the "unelected" Supreme Court not to take the "extraordinary" and "unprecedented" step of overturning his landmark health reform law.

Though Obama said he was confident the court would uphold the law, the centerpiece of his political legacy, he appeared to be previewing campaign trail arguments should the nine justices strike the legislation down.

Obamacare Adds $17 Trillion to Long-Term Unfunded Government Spending

Last week, the Senate Budget Committee Republican staff released a report revealing that, over the next 75 years, Obamacare will add an additional $17 trillion in unfunded obligations—i.e., the benefits promised by the federal government that haven’t yet been paid for.

The Invincible Dogma - Thomas Sowell ......

The problem....Plan (?) is that so many things are happening on so many Fronts...you actually MEGO. "My eyes glaze over" - because there aren't enough hours in the day to fight back....but there are. NEVER, EVER give up!? It's their PLAN.....

A long-standing legal charade was played out again recently, when Federal Express paid $3 million to settle an employment discrimination case brought by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Federal Express was accused of both racial discrimination and sex discrimination. FedEx denied it.

ABC News was wrong about George Zimmerman’s injuries.....

On the heels of the revelation that NBC News edited the tape of George Zimmerman’s 911 call to portray him as saying something he didn’t, here’s the latest from our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the media:

Matt Lauer To Palin: "Are You Reading Some Newspapers?" ......arrogant ass......

He is such a ass. Thinks so very much of himself....

Matt Lauer, "Today" co-host: "Well, we did read a tweet you sent out that said, 'Going to go rogue and infiltrate some turf.' What exactly does that mean?"

Sarah Palin: "What do you think it means?"

Lauer: "What are you doing to prepare? Are you reading some newspapers?"

Palin: "Oh! Great. That's a fine 'how do you do?' That's a great start, here we go."

Bill Ayers: ‘I Get Up Every Morning and Think…Today I‘m Going to End Capitalism’.....

Radical left-wing activist Bill Ayers apparently stopped by Occupy Union Square in New York City on Friday and shared a little bit of what gets him going each day: Ending capitalism.

"I get up every morning and think, today I'm going to make a difference," Ayers said in a video clip posted online. "Today I'm going to end capitalism. Today I'm going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I'm back to work tomorrow, and that's the only way you can do it."

Top Obama campaign donor accused of fraud .....

A major donor to President Barack Obama has been accused of defrauding a businessman and impersonating a bank official, creating new headaches for Obama's re-election campaign as it deals with the questionable history of another top supporter.

The New York donor, Abake Assongba, and her husband contributed more than $50,000 to Obama's re-election effort this year, federal records show. But Assongba is also fending off a civil court case in Florida, where she's accused of thieving more than $650,000 to help build a multimillion-dollar home in the state — a charge her husband denies.

Obama's Alinsky Strategy: Who's Next?......

But Aliyah's story received very little coverage, despite the event being more recent than the Martin tragedy, and despite the fact that it happened in President Barack Obama’s very own Chicago on a weekend when 49 people were shot and 10 others were killed.

No mention of Aliyah from the president. No public outpouring for a young mother who sat untangling her daughter’s hair as shots rang out. Nothing. And yet...

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”

A Post-Racial Lynch Mob - Ann Coulter ......

Even after the Duke lacrosse case, Texaco executives allegedly using the N-word in private meetings -- which turned out to be "St. Nicholas" -- the Tawana Brawley case, not to mention virtual hailstorms of racist graffiti and nooses materializing on college campuses, all of which invariably end up having been put there by the alleged victims, the Non-Fox Media (NFM) didn't even pause before conjuring a racist plot in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida last month.

The GOP's Health-Care Eeyores....

 "Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is
a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

–"Winnie the Pooh"

Conservatives are meant to be optimists, yet by the mutterings attending this week's Supreme Court drama, more than a few have been eating thistles with one depressive, gray donkey. To listen to this troop, the worst thing that might happen in this election season is for the court to . . . wait for it . . . kill ObamaCare.

Not-So-Smooth Operator......

Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non-birther right. Among them the level of dislike for the president has ratcheted up sharply the past few months.

It's not due to the election, and it's not because the Republican candidates are so compelling and making such brilliant cases against him. That, actually, isn't happening.

Private Aid Will Help Chicago With $7 Billion Plan ......

 What a deal....just what.....$200/M per................

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is planning to announce the initiative Thursday. It includes projects to expand the city’s largest airport and improve its streets, water system, schools, community colleges, parks and commuter rail network. The city estimates that these initiatives will create 30,000 jobs over the next three years.

SEIU Protesters paid cash by Union to be there..............

Happy your Union Dues are paying for this?

Video footage obtained by The Daily Caller appears to show a group of women dressed in purple Service Employees International Union-branded clothing, discussing how much they were paid to attend a March 27 protest outside the Supreme Court. The video first appeared online Wednesday.

The SEIU-affiliated women were leaving a protest in support of President Obama’s health care overhaul law. Walking past a camera, they discussed where they planned to eat lunch and how they would pay for it:

Second Trayvon Martin Twitter Feed ......

The Daily Caller has identified a second Twitter handle that was used by the late Trayvon Martin during the last weeks of 2011. Tweeting in December under the name “T33ZY TAUGHT M3,” Martin sent a message that read, “Plzz shoot da #mf dat lied 2 u!”

Ginsburg To Egyptians: I Wouldn't Use U.S. Constitution As A Model.....

And this person sits on the bench with the ultimate responsibility to defend the Constitution....

"I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," Ginsburg said in an interview on Al Hayat television last Wednesday. "I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done."

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama.....

Ha...Hypocrisy Howler if there ever was one.............

The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son's deaths.

Still the Alinsky Playbook.....

What exactly are the connections between Obama and Saul Alinsky’s thought? In 1985, the 24-year-old Obama answered a want ad from the Calumet Community Religious Conference, run by Alinsky’s Chicago disciples. Obama was profoundly influenced by his years as a community organizer in Chicago, even if he ultimately rejected Alinsky’s disdain for electoral politics and, like Hillary Clinton, chose to work within the system.

GOP-run House easily rejects Obama budget ......

Republicans said Democrats were afraid to vote for Obama's proposed tax increases and extra spending for energy and welfare. Democrats said Republicans had forced a vote on a version of Obama's budget that contained only its numbers, not the policies he would use to achieve them.

The vote was 414-0.

Action in Character .....

Act of Valor, a movie with no major stars made for $12 million, shocked everyone in Hollywood by earning $24.5 million its first weekend. Why? Simple. It advertises itself as “starring active duty Navy SEALs,” and the commercials make it look like a full-length version of one of those action-packed military recruitment commercials that run during football games. Sometimes there is truth in advertising, because that’s exactly what Act of Valor is, for good and ill. Come on; who wouldn’t want to give it a shot?

Breitbart’s Last Laugh.....

Yet another example of the Left's "Civility"...

I woke up this morning to about ten emails from journalist friends asking if our mutual friend, Andrew Breitbart, was really dead. “Really” was the operative word. Some meant it in the traditional sense: Is it possible for the human inferno that Breitbart resembled to have actually been extinguished at age 43, leaving his elegant wife Susie and his four beloved children behind? Several, however, meant it as in: Is Andrew really dead? Many of us didn’t know if we could trust the announcement, thinking this could be another Breitbart caper, as he always had two or three in his back pocket.

Pravda on Mitt Romney: 'Out-Of-Touch, Out-Of-Date, Unelectable' ........

Obviously....Pravda didn't get President Obama's pesky "Civility" memo......I read this and burst out laughing.....Mitt Romney? Wow....a tad over the top I'd say....Is this what a Russian Hissie Fit looks like? And if I were the President...not an endorsement I would embrace.

So, in an op-ed today posted on Pravda's website, the infamous former Soviet newspaper writes, "Electing Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States of America would be like appointing a serial paedophile as a kindergarten teacher, a rapist as a janitor at a girls' dormitory or a psychopath with a fixation on knives as a kitchen hand. His comments on Russia are a puerile attempt at making the grand stage and boy, did he blow it..."

Limbaugh sees heat over comments turn down to a simmer.......

I knew this to be true because I watched behind the scenes to see what advertisers where running with their tails between their legs. I have left those companies ( many of which I'd done business with for years ) and sent messages on to others regarding their politically correct nonsense. The pendulum swings both ways. However....would you know this from the Drive By media's hysterical headlines?

Limbaugh’s advertising losses may have been less than media accounts suggested. While more than 100 advertisers told Premiere that they didn’t want to be associated with “controversial” radio programs of any kind in the wake of the flap, some of these companies weren’t regular Limbaugh sponsors in the first place.

Carusone said most of the advertiser exodus over the past month appeared to be among companies whose ads aired only in regional or local markets, he said.

Obama gaffe hints at hidden agenda in second term.....

 "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space," Obama said.

"Yeah, I understand, I understand your message about space. Space for you," the Russian replied.

"This is my last election," Obama said. "After my election, I have more flexibility."

"I understand," Medvedev said. "I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

IRS seeks 4,000 agents, $303 million for Obamacare......

Funny....I thought it was HEALTH Care....not a government revenue stream...... 

The Internal Revenue Service wants to add about 4,000 agents to hunt down tax cheats and still plans to spend $303 million building a system to oversee Obamacare even though its future looks bleak in the U.S. Supreme Court.

A new Government Accountability Office review of the IRS 2012 tax return season and the taxman’s fiscal 2013 budget request also found that the agency’s customer service rating has slipped and 5.5 million returns were delayed a week because of a computer programming glitch.

Global Warming Models Are Wrong Again......

During a fundraiser in Atlanta earlier this month, President Obama is reported to have said: "It gets you a little nervous about what is happening to global temperatures. When it is 75 degrees in Chicago in the beginning of March, you start thinking. On the other hand, I really have enjoyed nice weather."

Trayvon Martin shooting: Wrong address for George Zimmerman on Twitter leaves elderly couple fearing for their safety .....

WHO is going to hold Spike Lee accountable???? WHO? Stop this!!!!

A school-cafeteria lunch lady and her husband have received hate mail, unwanted visits from reporters and fearful inquiries from neighbors — all because their Sanford-area address is being disseminated on Twitter as belonging to Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, her son said late Tuesday.

The woman, 70, who has a heart condition, and her husband, 72, have temporarily moved to a hotel to avoid the spotlight and possible danger, said son Chip Humble of Longwood.

UNC Chapel Hill Bars Radio Station From Mentioning Its Sports Program During Limbaugh’s Show......

This isn't AT ALL about Rush. Look at all the insanity that has been said in the past few days about Florida....you NAME it. The vitriol is astounding. This is a DIRECT assault on Freedom of Speech!
 
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.


The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has asked a local radio station known as “Rush Radio” to stop mentioning both the school and its Tar Heels sports program during the broadcast of Rush Limbaugh’s talk show, the North Carolina News and Observer reported.

We're talking about: legislation that would force businesses to offer paid sick days

Let's just make it COMPLETELY impossible to do business in Massachusetts!

Supporters of a bill that would force businesses to offer paid sick days held a rally held on Beacon Hill Tuesday. While there are many supporters, there are also many opposing the bill. FOX 25 spoke with Senator Dan Wolf and business owner Bill Vernon to get both sides of the spectrum.

Elderly Couple In Fear Over Spike Lee Tweet ......

Consequences of the rush to judgement.....

With Twitter and Facebook continuing to explode with posts purporting to contain the address of George Zimmerman, property records and interviews reveal that the home is actually the longtime residence of a married Florida couple, both in their 70s, who have no connection to the man who killed Trayvon Martin and are now living in fear due to erroneous reports about their connection to the shooter.

The Plot to Get Rush....

When we work our way through what Angelo Carusone and his Media Matters comrades and others are doing when they target Rush, or went after Glenn Beck, or plan to do in targeting Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin and who knows who after that (Levin? Laura?) remember: this is the way the Left -- the global left throughout history, not simply the American Left today -- has always behaved. A fanatical intolerance is part of the leftist DNA.

Martial Law by Executive Order.....

President Obama's National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order of March 16 does to the country as a whole what the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act did to the Constitution in particular -- completely eviscerates any due process or judicial oversight for any action by the Government deemed in the interest of "national security." Like the NDAA, the new Executive Order puts the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is never supposed to happen. The United States is essentially now under martial law without the exigencies of a national emergency.

Mother Seeks Trayvon Martin Trademarks.......

I can honestly say I lost a child...this would be the furthest thing from my mind.....

The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.

Obama's Remark to Medvedev Reveals Troubling Insight

It is hard to overstate the dangerous implications of what happened this week when President Obama was caught by an open mic sending a message to Russia’s dictator-in-waiting to wait quietly till after the November elections, after which Mr. Obama could make concessions on America’s national defense. The White House is trying to explain this incident away as par for the course in an electoral year. It is not.

Here, in essence, is what it appears to be: this was our commander in chief in league with an anti-American autocrat to dupe the American public until after it’s too late. What makes it even worse is that the issue at hand–missile defense–has to do with protecting the American people against the likes of Russia.

Obamacare at the Court Preview: Day 2, The Individual Mandate

Call it the main event: after a day puzzling over whether Obamacare’s fines on those who don’t buy insurance constitute a tax or a penalty—an important threshold issue, to be sure, but one that hasn’t quite captured the public’s imagination—the Court today will hear oral argument regarding one of the most important issues before it in 65 years: whether the Constitution empowers Congress to require that virtually all Americans purchase or obtain health insurance coverage.

New Black Panther Party top brass arrested in Georgia after pawning gun.........Oh...and posting bounty!

You can't write this stuff.............

According to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, Hashim Nzinga, 49, of Norcross, Georgia, was arrested at the probation office he was reporting to, police said today.

He was taken to DeKalb County Jail in Decatur, Georgia, and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

A warrant was sworn out after evidence surfaced that Nzinga tried to pawn a semiautomatic handgun at a pawn shop.

Nzinga serves as the New Black Panther Party's chief of staff. He recently made news after offering a $10,000 reward for the capture of Zimmerman.

Limbaugh Tweets: You Must See This Union Thug Video ......

Workforce Fairness Institute, an organization focused on employee/management relations, is releasing a series of videos chronicling left-wing intimidation, including tactic of “showing up at people’s houses to harass them and their families,” according to Erick Erickson of RedState.

“The videos document a growing trend in American civic discourse — the use of intimidation against private citizens to punish dissent,” Erickson adds.

Administration Admits to Court: Under Obamacare, Select Group Can Get Health Care, Not Pay for It, Not Buy Insurance, Not Pay Penalty ........

This is WHY Romeneycare has driven up health care costs in Ma. It's classic "Atlas Shrugged"....

President Barack Obama has justified the mandate in his health-care law that requires individuals to buy health insurance by arguing that it will eliminate free riders—that is, people who get health care (often from emergency rooms) but, lacking insurance, never pay anything back into the health-care system.

Not All Presidential Orders Are Created Equal (Part 1) - Chuck Norris.......

In his typical duck-'n'-dodge fashion, President Barack Obama spewed his 115th executive order upon the American public on a late Friday afternoon, March 16. Cloaked in one of Obama's candy-coated, grandiloquent titles, the "National Defense Resources Preparedness" executive order set the blogosphere ablaze this past week.

Geraldo's Point - Thomas Sowell .......

It is not often that I agree with Geraldo Rivera, but recently he said something very practical and potentially life-saving, when he urged black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies.

There is no point in dressing like a hoodlum when you are not a hoodlum, even though that has become a fashion for some minority youths, including the teenager who was shot and killed in a confrontation in Florida. I don't know the whole story of that tragedy, any more than those who are making loud noises in the media do, but that is something that we have trials for.

Trayvon Martin case: He was suspended three times and caught with 'burglary tool'......

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

The new claims, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture, one of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that some claim belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

iPads, Laptops Stolen From Romney Aides' SUV......

Last Friday, two campaign aides left their rented SUV in the Horton Plaza parking garage while they got dinner. When they returned, someone had grabbed all their belongings, including two iPads, two handheld radios and two laptops with detailed information about Romney's presidential campaign.

The Crane Chronicles, Part I: How and Why Ed Crane Pushed the Koch Brothers Conspiracy Theory

In the run up to the historic 2010 Republican sweep in the midterm congressional elections, many on the left and in the mainstream media attempted to derail the Tea Party-led victory. At the center of the left’s crosshairs were Charles and David Koch, heartland entrepreneurs who have donated significant time and resources to libertarian and conservative causes. In particular, the Kochs have donated in excess of $30 million to the nation’s first libertarian think tank, the Cato Institute, which they helped create in 1977.

Trayvon Martin Tweets ......

This is a tragedy for EVERYONE involved....however I think there is a massive and irresponsibly rush to judgement happening here!

The Daily Caller has obtained a compilation of the late Trayvon Martin’s tweets.

The social media scan, executed on PeopleBrowsr and supplied to TheDC by the individual who performed the search, contains tweets from the last month of Martin’s life, dating to the beginning of 2012.

Obama Relies on Debt Collectors Profiting From Student Loan Woe......

Everyone should pay what they owe.......however love these strong arm tactics while our President is out there saying he's going to "spread the wealth" FARLY. Can't WAIT til they get a hold of our Health Care! They'll have Storm Troopers knocking down doors to collect fines!

The debt collector on the other end of the phone gave Oswaldo Campos an ultimatum:

Pay $219 a month toward his more than $20,000 in defaulted student loans, or Pioneer Credit Recovery, a contractor with the U.S. Education Department, would confiscate his pay. Campos, disabled from liver disease, makes about $20,000 a year.

Spike Lee: Hollywood hatemonger ....

Lee’s announcing the home address on Twitter to his 250,000 followers had the intended response, as Lee supporters replied with a slew of death threats toward Zimmerman including “Dead,” “Let’s go smash this n*#gga,” and “Let’s turn up the heat on his b*tch ass.”

It may prove difficult for Lee, however, to fit the shooting neatly into his simple “black-white” view of the world because Zimmerman happens to be Hispanic.

Beware Beacon Hill's charge of tax-and-spenders' brigade....

To paraphrase Alfred, Lord Tennyson: In the spring, Beacon Hill's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of taxes. So remember his other words, "I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair."

The action is simple: Let legislators know that, come fall, we'll vote against anyone who increases the Massachusetts tax burden, which is already fourth-highest per capita in the nation.

I appreciate that Speaker of the House Robert DeLeo has said there will be no new taxes this year and has stated his opposition to Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal to tax candy and soda. The speaker has earned some credibility from Massachusetts citizens because of his support for public employee health care and pension reforms. I think he is sincere in his "no new taxes" message.

"Respecting States' Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act" Introduced in U.S. Senate

On March 20, U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) introduced Senate Bill 2213, the "Respecting States' Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act." NRA strongly supports this measure. Under this self-defense bill, an individual who has met the requirements for a carry permit, or who is otherwise allowed by state law to carry a handgun, would be authorized to carry a handgun in any other state that issues such permits or does not prohibit concealed carry, subject to the laws of the state in which it is carried.

Dick Cheney and the "Loving Left".....

Looks like more folks missed that pesky "Civility Memo" President Obama talks about....doesn't honor...but talks about.....

While Dick Cheney was recovering from his heart transplant in the intensive care unit of Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Va. Saturday, Twitter exploded with hate and ill wishes for the former vice president. (RELATED: Dick Cheney recovering after heart transplant surgery)

“Whoever donated their heart to dick cheney: fuck you,” tweeted @yokelesy.

Health Care & Mitt Romney .......

I just don't know if I trust Mitt enough to repeal Obamacare. Romneycare is a MESS!

“As we mark the two year anniversary of Obamacare, we are reminded that Romneycare, just like Obamacare, has dealt a knockout blow to our personal freedoms and delivered a serious jab to our economy,” the presidential campaign of former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said in a news release over the weekend.

The 4 Best Legal Arguments Against ObamaCare .....

When a reporter asked then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) back in October 2009 “where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”, Pelosi's response was to dismiss both the reporter and the question. “Are you serious?” she sneered. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s communications director, later amplified his boss’s response, telling CNS News, “You can put this on the record. That is not a serious question.”
