'Full Metal Jacket' Star: 'GEICO Fired Me' for Criticizing Obama.....

One of the BEST commercials GEICO ever did....

I agree a Company has the right to hire and fire. But for political beliefs from a man who served his country....

Beliefs expressed on his own time......?!

Unless it was part of his contract - it's wrong on so many levels.

I like GEICO...but if I had any other option today...I'd leave them...but living in Massachusetts.....there aren't many.

Full Metal Jacket' Star: 'GEICO Fired Me' for Criticizing Obama | NewsBusters.org: R. Lee Ermey, the actor best known for his role as the drill sergeant in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," claims he was fired by GEICO for criticizing President Obama.

During an impromptu interview with TMZ, Ermey also said, "If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out" (videos follow with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Another Recession Is Imminent....

Didn't notice the last one leaving....?!

Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that without a doubt, America will have a fresh recession next year unless Congress and the President prevent it.

We are facing the largest tax increase in history—Taxmageddon, scheduled to take effect January 1—and what experts are calling a “fiscal cliff” of sharp and unforgiving budget changes that will send the country spiraling downward. Congress and the President have the power to prevent this, and when the August congressional recess is over, that is exactly what they should do.

Will the 2012 Campaign Get Violent?....

Now, …they….have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat, in order to attain that, and that is moral, not immoral, and we operate on a different set of standards, I think when you do business with them…..you keep that in mind."
-- President Ronald Reagan on dealing with the Communist Soviet Union, January 29, 1981

FFRF Complains to Ridgeland High School About Church Involvement With Football Team.....

I am SO tired of these people and their insidious war on religion.

They attack only those targets that cannot fight back financially.

WHO are these guys????? WHO CAN STOP THIS?

Who will stand against them? I will....will you?

And I'm not religious - but I believe religion has a vital part in the foundation and constitution that governs us all.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist activist group based in Madison, Wisconsin, is taking a football coach to task, claiming that he violated the First Amendment by allowing local churches to prepare meals for team members. The organization sent a letter to Walker County Schools in LaFayette, Georgia, demanding that officials immediately investigate Mark Mariakis, the Ridgeland High School coach.

Colorado Chancellor Phil DiStefano Tells Jerry Peterson He Can’t Cancel Class Over Guns ......

Amen....someone with a pair!

While the debate over whether the University of Colorado has the right to segregate gun permit-carrying students to separate dorms, the university’s chancellor has just stood up for the rights of those same students to carry guns on campus.

Earlier this week, one professor at the University’s main campus in Boulder threatened to cancel his class if any students showed up legally carrying guns. Physics professor Jerry Peterson declared his stance during a faculty assembly on Monday.

The Conservationist's Case for Ending the Reign of Ethanol......

Get the government involved and this is typical of what happens...even if originally well meaning!

For one thing, rapidly rising commodity prices and crop subsidies encourage farming practices that may stress farm land and undermine the government’s own conservation efforts. For example, based on 2010 crop yield averages, one acre produced 152.8 bushels of corn. At an average $5.18 per bushel for 2010–2011, a farmer could earn around $790 per acre, compared to only $45 per acre for land enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program, which pays farmers to not farm their land.

Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand and the Hypocrisy of the Media .....

Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged - should be required reading for every citizen in AMERICA! It's happening already.....

You can learn a lot about people from the company they keep, even if that company is in the form of ghosts on a bookshelf. And yes, when it comes to fiscal policy, Paul Ryan loves Ayn Rand.

The Washington Post published a long, belabored essay last week on what Rand‘s philosophies say about Mitt Ryan’s new running mate (funny, no one seemed quite this curious about Joe Biden’s library). And Dave Weigel at Slate published another, in which he admits that Ryan’s quoted Thomas Aquinas as a much bigger influence on his politics. But who wants to talk about some 13th century theologian — only known as the Church’s greatest philosopher — when Rand is so controversial?

Book Will Describe Raid That Killed Bin Laden ....

A detailed first-person account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, written by a member of the Navy SEALs who participated in the mission and was present at Bin Laden’s death, will be released next month, the publisher said on Wednesday.

A closely held secret within Penguin, the publishing house that is planning to release it on Sept. 11, the book promises to be one of the biggest titles of the year, with the potential to rattle the presidential campaign in the final weeks before the Nov. 6 election.

Texas Judge Preparing For ‘Civil War’ If Obama Re-Elected .....

More to the "pattern" emerging....And this time NOT coming from the paranoid North East....from TEXAS!!!

In the event of civil unrest Judge Head said he’s concerned the President would hand over sovereignty of the United States to the U.N. and that the American public would react violently.

“He’s going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the U.S. to the United Nations, what’s going to happen when that happens?” Judge Head told FOX 34 in Lubbock.

TSA Rifles Through Bags, Conducts Pat Downs At Paul Ryan Event ......

Is anyone starting to notice a "pattern"...perhaps a "thread" here....? Hollow Point bullets - apparently enough rounds to kill EVERY American citizen ( from what I've heard ) now spread out to Social Security, the National Weather Service....DHS.

TSA everywhere.....

Black helicopters & Military units conducting maneuvers over American cities....

Drones....it's happening fast.

Maybe that is the whole idea.... it does give one pause...AGAIN.

As we have previously documented, airport security style checkpoints and inspection procedures are already in place at bus terminals, train stations, and are rapidly being expanded to the streets of America.

Agents have even been spotted roaming around at public events such as sports games and music concerts, and even at high school proms.

The TSA even moved beyond its own borders this summer as agents were dispatched to airports in London for the Olympic Games.

Whole Foods CEO: Capitalism is amazing .....

His remark touches on the growing problem in this country – people are being told not to trust corporations because they are painted as large, scary, greedy, selfish, exploitative, sociopaths that care about nothing but turning a profit. This is simply not true, and Mackey continued his defense of the free markets by talking about the ‘good’ corporations do.

A Powerful Movie...Thomas Sowell

Just found it in a Woburn, Ma theater - attending next week!

Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie 2016, based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book, The Roots of Obama's Rage. Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown.

Who Does The Government Intend To Shoot? .......

Potentially each hollow nose bullet represents a dead American. If so, why would the U.S. government want the SSA to kill 174,000 of our citizens, even during a time of civil unrest? Or is the purpose to kill 174,000 of the nation’s military and replace them with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) special security forces, forces loyal to the Administration, not to the Constitution?

The top four stories the media has downplayed to help Obama ....

There is nothing new about the national media downplaying stories that lend support to conservative arguments. If a firearm is used to prevent a lethal crime, or unethical activity is uncovered at a liberal institution, the media goes to great lengths to make sure no one notices.

Madeleine Albright campaigns for Obama: We’re going to blame Bush 'forever'....

Why act like adults and take responsibility for your actions?

In the video, Albright is seen telling a story about an exchange with a man during a Truman Foundation event, as he asked her how long Democrats would blame the previous administration for their problems.

"All of a sudden this man gets up and says, 'How long will you blame the previous administration for all of your problems?'" Albright recounted. "I said, 'Forever.'"

Attention OHIO! America Rising Rally 8-25-2012 .......

It is now or never folks! Really.....

ATF official also holding private-sector job, Congress members say .....

Fast & Furious just keeps getting better and better....I just keep thinking of what would be happening if this were the Bush Administration and HIS Attorney general...instead....we hear crickets chirping....
Why don't the "Rich" want to pay their "fair share"....( even though they already do )....because the government is hell bent on squandering every cent coming into DC!

In an unusual arrangement, a senior official of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives involved in the controversial gun operation Fast and Furious is receiving his government salary while working full time for the investment bank J.P. Morgan, according to two Republican lawmakers.

Three Minutes to Midnight.....

Is there ANY Media out there that isn't entirely in the satchel for Obama? Anywhere?!

President Obama assured us that he never heard Rev. Wright's anti-American rants. He wasn't in the pew that weekend. Or any of those many weekends. He never thought to pick up a video of Rev. Wright's sermons. He never asked anyone in that most agitated of congregations about those rants. He never picked up on any subtle or not-so-subtle signals. Or disturbing reports.

And it is to this most uncurious man, President Barack Obama, in this time and place, that we have entrusted so very much.

Wargaming Termination of Tea Party Extremists.....

I beg your pardon...?!

There seems to be alot of military and government "planning" for "civil unrest".... notice there's no plans in place against "Occupy" movement......interesting and....CREEPY!

Our military planners are openly discussing how to kill "Tea Party extremists" who have taken over a small town in the USA. Is this "operational lay-down" merely a "cartoonish and needlessly provocative scenario," as described by The Washington Times, or is it something much more malevolent?

The military scenario appears in the July 25, 2012 issue of the respected Small Wars Journal and posits that, while Obama will be thrown out of office in 2012, ten years of race- and immigrant-bashing by "right-wing demagogues" will have whipped white Americans into gang-like attacks on non-whites.

Paul Ryan Jabs Obama: ‘Happy’ Clinging to His Guns and His Religion.....

Amen...as am I and most members of my family...and MANY friends.....

“I remember this other time, where [Obama] was caught on video saying ‘people like to cling to their guns and their religion,” Ryan began to a large crowd, adding: “Hey– I am a Catholic deer-hunter. I am happy to be clinging to my guns and my religion.”

The Virtues of ‘Ryanism’ .....

Now, Paul Ryan has found what may be the right approach, and Mitt Romney has installed it at the center of the Republican party before it is too late to save the country from a European-style debt crisis.

Tapper: Media Failing Country.....

Good for Jake Tapper....I don't agree with him alot...but he's dead on here!

In an interview with Laura Ingraham, White House reporter Jake Tapper said that the media is failing the country.

"A lot of people are hurting out there. Unemployment is 8.3 percent. That doesn’t even take into account the underemployed,” he said, arguing that too much time has been spent not talking about the economy.

Tapper also criticized the media for not giving enough attention to the war in Afghanistan.

Labor Department spends stimulus funds for ads during Olbermann, Maddow shows.....

Now...in an election cycle....JUST IMAGINE the Bush Administration running the same ads...with STIMULUS MONEY....on Fox????? The screams would be deafening!

David Williams, president of the nonprofit watchdog Taxpayers Protection Alliance, called the contract “questionable” because it created no jobs and because of the placement of the ads on shows viewed as friendly to the administration’s policies.

White House Sets Ground Rules for Local Interviews .......

Obama Monday threw the White House press corps a bone by suddenly appearing in the briefing room for 22 minutes and taking questions from a total of four reporters. It was his first press conference at the White House – albeit in miniature – since March, and only his second of the year. Obama before Monday had taken exactly one substantive question from White House reporters since June.

Guns are beautiful things ........

As usual, the Crazy Guy is right on!

And...if you had gone to The Expendables 2 this past weekend as we had....you'd of heard cheering almost continually throughout the movie..... the more bullets...the louder the cheer or laughter...

Because WE understand what it takes to respect the 2nd Amendment...and will fight forever to keep it safe!

That’s right, 100% unlimited access to, for all practical purposes, unlimited firepower. Problems caused by the full-time Nugent gunnut clan? A big, whopping ballistic zero. Nada. Never. None. Safest damn house in the world.

The glaring reality as outlined above is ubiquitous and universal; America is armed to the teeth, and since the Obama freedom threat reared its ugly head back in 2007, a virtual nonstop guns and ammo production and purchasing orgy has steamrolled across the United States, for smart, freedom loving people know that the perfection of the 2nd Amendment is indeed the guiding light to freedom itself and ultimate quality of life.

Should Colorao University Segregate Students Based on Gun Permits? .....

This is INSANE.....once again...Academia proves it hasn't a clue.....

By now you might know that the University of Colorado has decided to comply with a state supreme court ruling saying that it cannot ban permit-carrying students from having guns on campus. But in complying, the university has created a separate controversy: It has decided to segregate those students with concealed carry permits. Now, if a student has a permit and is living on campus, that student will have to live in separate dorms off campus.

'Issues' or America? ....

There are some very serious issues at stake in this year’s election — so many that some people may not be able to see the forest for the trees. Individual issues are the trees, but the forest is the future of America as we have known it.

The America that has flourished for more than two centuries is being quietly but steadily dismantled by the Obama administration, during the process of dealing with particular issues.

Ann Coulter: If Akin loves his country, he will step aside....

I won’t hate Todd Akin officially unless he refuses to withdraw from the Missouri Senate race. If he does withdraw, honorably sacrificing his personal interests to save the country, it will be time for all good men to rally around Akin as an American patriot.

Akin was one of nine GOP candidates in the primary to challenge Missouri’s left-wing, tax-cheat sitting Democratic senator, Claire McCaskill. McCaskill is Chuck Schumer in a dress. Totally out of step with the good voters of Missouri, her seat should be an easy win for Republicans this year.

School withholds valedictorian’s diploma for saying “hell” .....

But they pass out condoms to 12 year olds............

He said the principal told Kaitlin she would have to write an apology letter before he would release the diploma.

A move her dad believes is illegal.

“She earned that diploma. She completed all the state curriculum. In four years she has never made a B. She got straight A’s and had a 4.0 the whole way through.”

Kaitlin starts college in a few days on a full scholarship, making the administrators’ decision even more appalling to her family.

If Biden Were Republican Meet the Press's Topic Would Be 'How Stupid Is This Person?' ....

Oh, well I thought everything Rudy Giuliani just said was true. If it had been a Republican vice presidential candidate who had made those gaffes, one after another, so comically, and all on tape, the subject today of the panel would be how stupid is this person, can this person possibly govern?

San Bernardino 8th Grader Brianna Gentry Pulled Out of Class for Having Photo of Military Brother on Her Binder.....

“Her brother is a positive role model in her life,” Eudy told the station. “She’s very active in Little League. She has been for six years. So these are things that are happy moments for her. … I think if you’re going to enforce a rule, the rule should apply to all children.”

The school sent back a list of guidelines for keeping a notebook — guidelines that didn’t mention keeping pictures in the binder.

Does This Photo of Elizabeth Warren Remind you of Anything? ....

Amen!

You know what? We’re thinking the above photo of Warren deserves TheBlaze’s “Caption that photo!” treatment. Have fun in the comments section.

Oh, also, if you not familiar with Eddie Scary’s photo caption contests, you really should head over to the blog and take a look. Too much fun.

Reid used Kennedy's brain cancer to beg for stimulus votes......

“He was basically pleading for our votes,” Grassely said, according to Grunwald. “He said: ‘You all know something needs to be done. The Democrats did TARP for Bush. You’ve got to look past the substance.’”

Agencies tamp down speculation over hollow-point ammo purchases....

But the agencies, most recently the Social Security Administration, are trying to put a damper on the speculation -- noting the ammunition is "standard issue" and simply used for mandatory federal training sessions.

Romney Engaging In The ‘Niggerization’ Of Obama.....

So...our President engages in tearing down the very core of our great nation....seems to basically dislike EVERYTHING about America...except maybe Five Guys...and when Romney brings it to light...it's racial code words. Will people just STOP it!??

What ever happened to the truth?

What ever happened to the arena of IDEAS?

“That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.”

Senior Citizens Greet Paul Ryan: ‘Good Luck! Kick Ass!’....

See Liberals...not all Senior Citizens should be treated as the morons you portray them. My Mom is 83 and agrees - Kick some ass!

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan stopped by the Original Hot Dog Shoppe here this afternoon to chat with voters and grab some lunch. The Wisconsin congressman and fitness nut chowed down on two hot dogs with onion, extra kraut and mustard, a side of small chili-cheese fries, and an unsweetened iced tea. The total bill came to $8.78, including a chili-cheese dog Ryan purchased for a reporter celebrating his twenty-seventh birthday.

Young Michelle Obama argued for race-based faculty hiring ....

It worked! The hired and Indian - Elizabeth Warren!

Michelle also gushed praise for critical race theory itself — the view that law is an instrument of the powerful against the powerless, rather than an effort to seek justice.

“Now, unlike before, students are being made to see how issues of class, race, and sex are relevant to questions of law,” she wrote. These issues, she said, were “being presented by people who possess the enthusiasm, sensitivity, and ingenuity necessary to bring excitement back into the classroom.”

Iowa deli co-owner caters for Obama visit, but his T-shirt tells another story....

Ross Murty likes business, but he doesn’t like President Obama.

And so the co-owner of the Village Corner Deli here agreed to cater Obama’s visit Wednesday — but not before donning a T-shirt blaring the message: “Government didn’t build my business. I did.”

A Look at Paul Ryan’s Fashion Sense ........

Are you flippin' kidding me? Paul Ryan's jacket size is baggy because he needs to display more masculinity...I don't need more coffee...I need a drink.......this is what passes for serious journalism these days.....

I asked my colleague Bruce Pask, the men’s fashion editor of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, for his thoughts on Mr. Ryan’s sizing problem. In an e-mail, he said: “Like many American suit wearers, I think he suffers from the misconception that the size a guy wears directly correlates with his masculinity. In their minds, being a 42 is more manly than a 40. And yet what actually happens when a guy wears something too big is the obvious: he looks smaller, dwarfed by shoulders that are too big, a shirt collar that is too roomy, lapels that are too wide.”

Paul Ryan is not Freddy Krueger ......

They did not disappoint. It took only minutes for the onslaught to begin. At the same time liberal media outlets acknowledge the country now faces two opposing visions of government, why is only the Romney-Ryan vision “polarizing” and “extreme”?

Why liberals behave the way they do .......

With the country drowning in debt and Medicare and Social Security on high-speed bullet trains to bankruptcy, the entire Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge mathematical facts. Instead, they incite the Democratic mob to hate Republicans by accusing them of wanting to kill old people.

Social Security Administration To Purchase 174 Thousand Rounds Of Hollow Point Bullets .....

Does this give anyone pause? Someone please explain this?

First it was the Department of Homeland Security, then it was the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and now the Social Security Administration is set to purchase 174,000 rounds of hollow point bullets that will be delivered to 41 locations across the country.

Moveon.Org Attacks Mitt Romney and Republicans Using Conspiracy Theories and Blackboard ......

Beck, of course, wasn’t doing this. But it was fascinating all the same to watch the Left high-mindedly huff and puff that no one on their side would ever do something as silly as try to demonize ideological opponents using absurd caricatures and thin evidence all under the guise of education. Spouting silly conspiracy theories in front of a blackboard? Come on, who does that?

Well, Beck doesn’t. But apparently Moveon.org does, if this video put out by the site is any guide:

Spike Lee I'm Doing Whatever it Takes To Get Obama Second Term So He Can Do Whatever He Wants This Time....

Hasn't he pretty much already? He already bypasses the law....however, it gives you pause. Imagine Obama with no restraint at all? Be careful what you wish for!

Obama Will Do Whatever He Wants In Second Term

Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants Starts Today....

Those of you around the world looking for work who believe that your government is looking out for you, take one step forward.

Not so fast, Americans.

Today the Obama administration starts accepting applications from illegal immigrants under the age of 30 to defer their deportation.

New Black Panthers to RNC: Our 'Feet Will Be On Your Motherf***ing Necks'...

Now imagine this was not someone of color? You know - WHITE. Can you imagine ( and rightfully so ) the OUTRAGE at these comments and posts? And what do we hear....?!....crickets chirping...

Michelle Williams, New Black Panthers chief of staff threatens the upcoming RNC convention in Tampa FL

Man Shouts 'Look, No Teleprompter!' At Ryan Event ....

Someone in the crowd at a Paul Ryan Lakewood rally yelled at the congressman "Look, no teleprompter!" Ryan responded by saying "That's right."

Jamie Dimon Critisizes Gov’t Regs: ‘It’s a Free. F**king. Country!’ ....

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon during a recent interview with New York magazine decried overbearing government regulations, at one point practically shouting, “It’s a free. F**king. Country!”

Dimon also made the case for deregulation (or at least a general “loosening up”) because, he says, fear of retribution has many small bank owners terrified to make a move.

GBTV‘s Matt Fisher Describes Progressive Insurance Nightmare After Sister’s Death....

GBTV’s Matt Fisher (”The B.S. of A.“) is making headlines after posting an article on his Tumblr page entitled, “My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court.” Fisher is a comedian, but his sister’s tragic story is no laughing matter. While Progressive, a company known for providing auto and home insurance, touts its supposed “concierge level of claims service,” Fisher paints a very different picture.

National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase....

So...we going to open up on bad weather? This doesn't pass smell test.....

Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets.

Taxpayers' Auto Bailout Losses Mounting.....

Another success story touted by the President!?! Only thing "saved" was the Unions....

Taxpayers will lose even more on the auto bailout than previously thought, as the Treasury has just revised its estimate upward to $25 billion. This may still underestimate the losses to come—yet President Obama plans to tout the auto bailout as a key accomplishment of his Administration.

Chinese companies pull out of US stock markets ....

Just a few years after Chinese companies lined up to sell shares on Wall Street, a growing number are reversing course and pulling out of U.S. exchanges.

This week, Focus Media Holding Ltd., announced its chairman and private equity firms want to buy back its U.S.-traded shares and take the Shanghai-based advertising company private. The deal would value Focus Media at $3.5 billion, according to financial information firm Dealogic.

Ducks and Demos .....

Does a group named "Demos" sound like it's a nonpartisan public-policy organization? Why don't you ask George Soros, the ultra-liberal billionaire and one of its major backers?

Should a group with the daughter of the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts as its board chair be lodging lawsuits in that state during that person's campaign?

And why would Massachusetts, which has a state Legislature and congressional delegation dominated by Democrats, be the only one that agreed to send out mass mailings to encourage welfare recipients to register to vote, in order to satisfy the suit's demands?

And you wonder why Republican U.S. Senate incumbent Scott Brown is crying foul?

Ryan Plan Would Save Medicare; Obamacare Will Destroy It ....

It's time we started acting like adults...and the grown-ups our Founding Father's handed the care and protection of our Constitution to!

I think most of us want to hear the truth. I believe most of us KNOW the truth.

It's time.....AND...take YOUR time and read what Ryan has to say. Do not listen to the scare tactics and sound bites. Invest some time in your future...your kids, grand-kids.....all of us. Take the time to find out for real...

The Obama campaign has wasted no time trying to scare the elderly with lies that Mitt Romney’s selection of Representative Paul D. Ryan as his running mate signifies Romney’s plan to destroy Medicare. Obama senior campaign advisor David Axelrod claimed on ABC’s “This Week,” for example, that Medicare would be in “a death spiral under this plan.”

It's your money, not hers.....

Good Video....this is who THEY are...."Shared" prosperity. No thanks...I'll decide with whom I share what....get OUT of our wallets, homes, kitchens, refrigerators, bedrooms, cars, schools, businesses, health care....GET OUT!

The MassGOP has released a video. It's about the dangerous tax increases proposed by Elizabeth Warren.

‘We Know Your House’: Website Conducting Experiment Using Twitter Location Data and Keyword Home to Map Addresses.....

Over the weekend, it was revealed a “social experiment” was scanning tweets associated with location data and the keyword “home.” From there, it was putting that location on a Google map curating residences relatively close to where the tweeters live.

Paul Ryan Heckled at Iowa State Fair....

In short, the choice of Ryan has the potential to provide either a wellspring of smugness or a spontaneous outpouring of hysterics from the Left. Today, at the Iowa State Fair, the hysterics got their day in the sun when two women began heckling Ryan barely over a minute into his stump speech. They were shortly escorted from the event by police.

America's 1st Freedom....

The truth is there are many factors driving the sales figures, and sales are up everywhere, even in “blue states.” The top reason hasn’t been President Obama, but rather the movement for freedom spearheaded by the National Rifle Association and its robust membership.

To make this clear, let’s go through the statistics and details to see the big picture the media would rather not address.

Treasury: U.S. to lose $25 billion on auto bailout ....

Gee! What a success!!!!

The Treasury Department says in a new report the government expects to lose more than $25 billion on the $85 billion auto bailout. That's 15 percent higher than its previous forecast.

In a monthly report sent to Congress on Friday, the Obama administration boosted its forecast of expected losses by more than $3.3 billion to almost $25.1 billion, up from $21.7 billion in the last quarterly update.

Noonan: Ryan must 'quickly' explain plan to save entitlements....

“The challenge for him and the danger, I think, of his nomination, is that there are a lot of Americans who are in financial hard times, a lot of Americans are living near the edge, a lot of Americans perhaps half are receiving some money from the U.S. government each month. Paul Ryan — when you include Social Security — Paul Ryan has to go to those people, I think, quickly, and convince them, ‘Look, I’m not trying to end the things you need. I am trying to save the things you need.’ The Democrats are going to say that he’s shark. He has to say that he’s the lifeboat.”

The Promise of Paul Ryan.....

He's right...we ARE adults who want to hear the truth.

No more phoney cancer/health insurance scare stories....old ladies getting pummeled in a fictitious boxing ring...no more granny over the cliff in a wheelchair....REAL INFORMATION.

REAL decisions.

The same ones WE have to make everyday. the Ones the Obama Administration thinks we're too stupid to make.....bring IT ON!

It's time we all had skin in the game....that's what made us great before...and it can do it again!

There can be little doubt that the addition of Paul Ryan to Mitt Romney’s presidential ticket has galvanized Republicans in a way that Romney himself has mostly failed to do. The $3.5 million fundraising haul that the Romney campaign reported within 24 hours of the vice presidential announcement is testimony to the enthusiastic approval of the GOP base. But whether Ryan will be an asset in the general election will depend on his ability to rally Americans to the cause of entitlement reform and economic growth just as he has his Republican admirers.

Paul Ryan: Hiding Spending Doesn't Reduce Spending -NOW I AM EXCITED ABOUT ROMNEY!!!!

Paul Ryan: Hiding Spending Doesn't Reduce Spending

Energy Dept. e-mails on Solyndra provide new details on White House involvement .....

President Obama’s staff arranged for him to be personally briefed last summer on a loan program to help clean-energy companies, two months before the program was thrust into headlines by the collapse of its flagship, the solar company Solyndra, records show.

New Allen West Attack Ad Features Him Beating Old and Young Women And Stealing Form Families ....

It is hard to think of an attack ad lower than the one essentially blaming Mitt Romney for a woman’s death, but we may have just found one.

It’s from Florida, and it depicts Allen West (R-FL) in a boxing ring with red gloves on. The cartoon-like video then shows West punching an old woman, a young lady and seemingly a family with children. He also steals cash from the hands of the family and pockets it, all while laughing like a gremlin.

There is no honest case against Voter ID ....

The defenders of vote fraud are growing desperate, as common-sense voter ID requirements appear in state after state, surviving legal challenges that took Indiana’s law all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was upheld 6-3. There is no honest case against voter ID laws. Every argument deployed by opponents is as fraudulent as the votes that put Al Franken in the Senate.

Should The First Lady Be Paid For Her Work? ....

I wish I could go UN-compensated like this!

Instead, because I own my own business ( ya know...the one we didn't build ) I just get to go without altogether and hide from bill collectors after an average 60-80 hour week......yeah...that's the ticket!

Some might argue that the First Lady does get compensated — not with a salary, but with considerable perks that come with her husband’s job.

She virtually lives without cost (and in a pretty fancy place that she was allowed to redecorate without the budget constraints faced by most Americans).
Her “weekend home” — Camp David — is certainly one that most of us would consider to be worth visiting almost every month.
Michelle Obama has a liberal vacation allowance, with a private jet that she can and does use day and night.
Her private security (Secret Service) keeps the First Lady safe at all times.
The First Lady also has a personal staff numbering 24. (Hillary Clinton had 19, Laura Bush 18)

This Chart Showing Welfare Dependency Will Ruin Your Day ....

Are you serious? Over 110,000,000* in the U.S. are currently receiving some form of government welfare?

“The federal government administers nearly 80 different overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs. Social Security and Medicare are not part of this category and not included in the figures in this chart,” a statement released on Wednesday by Sen. Sessions’ office reads.

Sinaloa Cartel Operative Jesus Vincente Zambada Niebla Makes Explosive Allegation About Operation ‘Fast and Furious’ .....

This pending court case against Zambada-Niebla is being closely monitored by some members of Congress, who expect potential legal ramifications if any of his claims are substantiated. The trial was delayed but is now scheduled to begin on Oct. 9.

Gazillions -- that's the number of times our government has spied on Americans since 9/11.....

Gazillions. That’s the number of times the federal government has spied on Americans since 9/11 through the use of drones, legal search warrants, illegal search warrants, federal agent-written search warrants and just plain government spying. This is according to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who, when he asked the government to tell him what it was doing to violate our privacy, was given a classified briefing. The senator -- one of just a few in the U.S. Senate who believes that the Constitution means what it says -- was required by federal law to agree not to reveal what spies and bureaucrats told him during the briefing.

Obama camp denies knowledge of cancer tale it told in May......

This mornings Hypocrisy Howler.......there are just SO MANY to choose from....

Oops? President Barack Obama's re-election campaign washed its hands Wednesday of an independent group's vicious (and misleading) ad effectively blaming Mitt Romney for the death of a laid-off steelworker's wife from cancer. Campaign officials flatly denied any knowledge of the facts in the case—but it turns out the widower told the same story on an Obama campaign conference call in mid-May. (The Obama campaign responded late in the day: See update below).

Obama Considering Executive-Branch Action on Cybersecurity....

Remember, if we allow Obama to get re-elected....the word "Constitution" will fade into history and "Executive - Branch Action" will be the new normal.

Senate Republicans last week blocked a bill backed by Obama that would have set up voluntary cybersecurity standards for operators of infrastructure such as power grids and water- treatment plants that are considered essential to national security.

Republicans, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups said the voluntary standards would be a back door to government regulation of companies. The bill was sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, and Susan Collins, a Maine Republican.

Occupy Unmasked .....

Occupy Unmasked uncovers the answers through exclusive footage of the Occupy movement – footage that will leave your skin crawling and your stomach writhing. This was not a peaceful, hippie movement of the 1960s, with thousands of grassroots turning out for drug-induced love-ins. This was a top-down, insidiously planned movement with a set of very real goals: chaos, political pressure, undermining the existing constitutional order. Occupy was dangerous, and it was purposefully designed to be dangerous.

Elizabeth Warren needs to sever her ties to convicted inside traders....

Yesterday we learned, that Elizabeth Warren's daughter is leading a, George Soros funded, organization that successfully sued to force the state to mail voter registration forms to welfare recipients. It is just one of the pieces of help that Elizabeth Warren has received from the convicted inside trader and leading financier.

IRS turned blind eye to fraud ....

The IRS showed more interest in processing applications for a taxpayer identification number than in vetting those requests for fraud, according to a federal audit publicly released Wednesday.

The revenue service's review of applications for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) was lacking and there was no reason to believe the IRS uncovered as much fraud as it could, the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration found.

No, Romney Won't Raise Your Taxes $2,000....

But here is the actual truth: Mitt Romney is not asking the middle class or anyone else to pay more taxes. Mitt Romney is proposing to cut tax rates for everyone, across the board. That would finally liberate the economy for a long overdue recovery. Increased revenues from that booming economic growth, combined with savings from cutting Obama's runaway spending and closing loopholes that mostly benefit the highest income taxpayers, would enable a U-turn, from the four straight highest deficits in world history to a balanced budget in 5 years.

A Gut Check on What Obama Means by 'Fairness'...

Last month, the President told a crowd of supporters in Texas that he was glad his unpopular health care law is known as "Obamacare" to its opponents: "You know what, they're right, I do care. I care about folks who get sick …" This claim would have been more truthful had he told them he cares about some folks who become ill. Indeed, it would have been more consistent with his actual behavior had he said, "I care about myself when I get sick." President Obama, you see, has been availing himself of medical tests his HHS apparatchiks won't approve for payment if Medicare patients receive them.

CNN Primetime Ratings Sink To 20-Year Weekly Low

Primetime is not good news for CNN lately. Amidst having its least watched month in primetime in two decades in May and the lowest rated month in total viewers in 10-years in April, CNN has now hit a 20-year all time primetime weekly low. The latest fall came during the week of July 30 to August 5, 2012

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants .....

And we're welcoming them with no strings attached....

Immigrants lag behind native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which argues that full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural differences.

From ‘Hope & Change‘ to ’Divide & Conquer’: Marco Rubio’s Sharp Criticism of Team Obama.......

Americans must decide this November whether they want a president who understands business and job growth or one who is “divisive” and economically unsuccessful, or so says Republican Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).

“He has divided us against each other deliberately,” said Sen. Rubio during a stump speech for Romney. “It’s the only way he thinks he can win. It has gone from ‘hope’ and ‘change’ to ‘divide and conquer.’”

Group fueling registration doesn’t fall far from ACORN ....

What a surprise....No?

The activist political group behind the state’s push to drive welfare recipients to the polls this November has heavy ties to the disgraced community outreach organization ACORN — including a Dorchester woman who served as its national president for 20 years.

Elizabeth Warren calls on Scott Brown to release more tax returns than she has .....

Hypocrite. Do as I say...not as I do...TYPICAL.

Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already allowed reporters to inspect six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to reveal more than four years of her filings.

Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren abruptly backed off her demand, sayingTuesday morning that six years of Brown’s filings was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.

Gotye Parody Mocks ‘Obama That I Used to Know’ ....

Pretty damn funny....

If you listen to pop radio at all — or even if you pay attention to the music that plays in the grocery store — you know that the group Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” is one of the hottest songs in the country right now. The catchy tune and eccentric music video are burning up the airwaves and the Internet. And now some 2008 Obama supporters have capitalized off of it with a scathing, yet hilarious, parody of the song that blasts the president.

‘Les Riches’ in France Vow to Leave if 75% Tax Rate Is Passed.....

“We’re getting a lot of calls from high earners who are asking whether they should get out of France,” said Mr. Grandil, a partner at Altexis, which specializes in tax matters for corporations and the wealthy. “Even young, dynamic people pulling in 200,000 euros are wondering whether to remain in a country where making money is not considered a good thing.”

Warren's daughter funds plan to force state to mail welfare recipients voter registration forms

Why am I surprised....NOTHING surprises me anymore with this bunch. Free booze, tattoos, cruises and votes.....

Elizabeth Warren's daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi is leaving nothing to chance in the 2012 election for her mother. Warren Tyagi, the chair of the George Soros funded Demos Foundation, has bankrolled, through Demos, former members of ACORN in their pursuit to have the Commonwealth's welfare agency perform a voter registration drive. The Boston Herald has the story, although they missed the Warren familial connection.

Barack Obama is a Murderer.....

Mitt Romney and Bain Capital bought GST Steel at some point. Romney left day to day operations of Bain in 1999. Thereafter, Bain offered Joe Soptic a buy out and he refused. Eventually the steel plant went out of business and Joe went on the unemployment line. That happened in 2001.

Pillow Tag Requirment Stifles Kerri Smith, Inventor of The BellyRest....

“The annual average for law tag registration fees is 183.33 for the existing 15 states that require law tags. If 35 more states required manufacturers to pay an average amount for a registration fee, it would be $6416.35, annually. Add that to the current fees and a manufacturer would be required to pay $9166.55 annually to be allowed to sell a pillow in the US,” Kerri said.

“That’s insane. That would absolutely put small manufactures right out of business. And imagine what will happen to the price of the pillow you sleep on at night. No more $5 pillows at Target,” she adds.

Obama’s College Classmate: ‘The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia’ ....

I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since graduating Columbia.

James Holmes' Psychiatrist Contacted University Police Weeks Before Movie-Theater Shooting......

The psychiatrist who treated suspected movie-theater shooter James Holmes made contact with a University of Colorado police officer to express concerns about her patient's behavior several weeks before Holmes' alleged rampage, sources told ABC News.

The new normal ....

On Wednesday, August 1, CNN carried a breathless report sourced to “U.S. officials” that our beloved Nobel Peace Prize recipient in the Oval Office “has signed a covert directive authorizing U.S. support for Syrian rebels battling President Bashar al-Assad.” According to the story, which was picked up by dozens of other outlets within hours, “The secret order, referred to as an intelligence ‘finding,’ allows for clandestine support by the CIA and other agencies.”

She calls herself “Top Gun Tori” .....

Sharp shooter Tori Nonaka already spent fourteen years on the range—and she is only seventeen. As a toddler crawling up on a bucket at the range, Tori’s father, a gulf war vet, would hold the gun while she shot. Since 2011 Tori has competed on the international level and has become a representative for team GLOCK, the famous Austrian hand gun manufacturer.

Israel and Iran, the Middle Eastern Time Bomb....

Four years of President Obama’s foreign policy are having their full effect. After squandering time in sham “negotiations” with Iran and Palestine and abandoning Iraq to al-Qaeda, the President has made many situations more difficult—and urgent.

Emails: Treasury drove cutoff of non-union Delphi pensions....

But remember - THEY are for the "working Class"...unless they aren't in a Union.......

The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those retirees were not members of labor unions.

Green Profiteers .......

And they wonder WHY there is a Tea Party and WHY we laugh at Global Warming. Global Warming is nothing but a cover for profit and power.....

While the economy limps along, one industry is thriving: Environmental lawsuits against the federal government are moving ahead at a steady pace — and taxpayers are picking up the tab for the expensive litigation.

Cheney explains his Palin VP 'mistake' remark......

In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, former Vice President Dick Cheney revisited his comment that former Gov. Sarah Palin’s nomination to the 2008 Republican presidential ticket was a “mistake,” saying that it wasn’t his intention to disparage Palin — but rather the process then-Republican nominee Sen. John McCain had put in place to select her.

Cheney took some heat from some on the right for his July 29 remarks.

Voter ID laws could sway US elections ....

I just find this almost impossible to believe. You can't function on a daily basis without some form of ID.....and getting one does not cost a fortune! If you can get to the Voting Booth - you can get somewhere to secure identification. I know the Parties themselves would help with this!

Millions of US voters could be turned away at the ballot box in this November’s presidential election as new rules impose tough requirements for identification that observers say could lead to minorities and young people – traditionally more likely to vote Democrat – being excluded.

Company That Dumped Limbaugh Over ‘Flukegate’ Admits: Yeah, That Hurt us More Than we Expected it Would.....

Well, despite losing a few sponsors and having Media Matters lead a campaign to have him removed from the airwaves, Limbaugh is still here and he’s still annoying the left.

Oh, yeah, and it appears Carbonite’s decision to drop the EIB Network hasn’t worked out so well for them.

“On August 1 Carbonite released its 2d Quarter 2012 results, the first full quarter after dropping Limbaugh in March. The results shocked Wall Street, as Carbonite did not meet its growth targets, causing multiple analysts to drop the target price,” William A. Jacobson writes for Legal Insurrection.

“The stock dropped 15 [percent] in a day,” he adds.

Gun Walked in ‘Fast and Furious’ Involved in Plot to Kill Mexican Police Chief Julian Leyzaola.....

One of the guns that was allowed to walk across the Mexico border in “Operation Fast and Furious” was recovered in Tijuana and found to be connected to a drug cartel’s conspiracy to kill the police chief of Tijuana, Baja California, who later became the Juarez police chief, according to a report released by the U.S. government.

Obama’s Drive to Disenfranchise Soldiers.....

There is only one word for this action...Heinous! To try and screw around with the vote of ANY military person is disgusting. We can't stand by silently on this! Please pass this forward!

This nickel-and-dime approach to disenfranchisement was used by then-presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000. The unsuccessful Democrat turned global warming hoaxer had his lawyers disqualify ballots from military personnel overseas. The new lawsuit is also an apparent acknowledgement that Obama is writing off the military vote this year.

ICE Agent Faces Suspension For Arresting Illegal Alien and Disobeying Orders to Let Him Walk....

The world is upside down...is this what you want? Where those obeying our laws are penalized and those breaking them are rewarded?!

“They’re punishing law enforcement officers who are just trying to uphold U.S. law,” said Chris Crane, president of the National ICE Council. Crane is a union representative speaking on behalf of the unidentified officer, an 18-year law enforcement and military veteran.

Costs, conflicts arise in Reid push for green power....

This mornings Hypocrisy Howler....well...the first of many...it's so target rich out there....

Now Reid is pushing for a Chinese company he played a key role in recruiting to Nevada, ENN Mojave Energy LLC. The company plans a billion-dollar solar energy manufacturing and generating plant near Laughlin, but an ambitious development schedule is being threatened by a lack of green power customers.
