Entire Apple stores being faked in China - Yahoo! Finance
Kinda like the Democratic Party....when you haven't anything of innovative value to offer.....fake it!
At first, it looks like a sleek Apple store. Sales assistants in blue T-shirts with the company's logo chat to customers. Signs advertising the iPad 2 hang from the white walls. Outside, the famous logo sits next to the words 'Apple Store.'
And that's the clue it's fake."

“What kind of a society are we creating here?” asked civil rights lawyer Harvey Silverglate, who along with the ACLU fears police abuse. “There comes a point where the surveillance is so pervasive and total that it’s a misnomer to call a society free any longer.”"

DHS Video Characterizes White Americans as Most Likely Terrorists Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies."

Romney, the job creator? Hardly. | Boston Business Journal

Patrick backs in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants - The Boston Globe
Surprise visit??!!! Who is kidding who....Deval is so left leaning he almost makes Obama look conservative! Lets just give away the store! What the heck...it's only tax payer money. The same STUPID taxpayers who re-elected this clown!

Anti-Obesity Programs Fail - Obesity Statistics
According to Munro, the "Healthy Food Financing Initiative" has cost $35 million, and the White House wants $330 million for next year. If a government program isn't working, that only means we haven't flushed enough taxpayer dollars down the toilet.
The decades-long federal campaign against obesity has achieved a perfect record of failure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday the nation’s least-fat state, Colorado, has joined the other 49 states with an obesity rate of at least 20 percent.
Washington’s response to its decades of failures with anti-obesity programs is the creation of another program campaign."

Bachmann Letter | House Attending Physician | Migraines | The Daily Caller
It may be noteworthy to say she has now released more private medical information than Barack Obama has.........
Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann released a letter Wednesday from the House Attending Physician’s office, confirming that Bachmann suffers “infrequently” from migraines “with aura,” and that she can control them “well” with the use of sumatriptan and odansetron, two “commonly used therapies” to treat the chronic headaches."

The 70-Million-Check Constituency - That's our money funding them!
The actual figure is more like 72 Million.....
And I run a small business....work anywhere from 50 to 80 hours a week - haven't taken a paycheck weekly in YEARS, and get told to pay MY fair share.
Yet, they wonder where the Tea Party came from.....DUH!
I have bad news for conservatives who think Obama is leading the nation down the path to socialism: the barn door is open and the cows are long gone. Obama is not leading the nation to socialism; we are a socialist nation and have been for some time. Conservatives who think Obama is a Marxist and an anti-capitalist radical are surely correct, but what is also surely correct is that he represents an actual constituency of tens of millions who care about nothing other than the fact that the government check is in the mail. This is a serious problem for conservative Republicans and Tea Partiers seeking to cut the federal budget and restore fiscal sanity."

Sustainable Health: Are You Ready to Be Forced into Health Prevention
Another "Nanny State" Executive Order taking over our PRIVATE lives in ways that are so invasive, it amazes me.
I bet NOBODY noticed...I know I didn't.
I'd read about this but knew not of it's passage.
Imagine, if you will...GWB issuing all these Executive Orders".....I can hear the howling now. With Obama....I can only hear crickets chirping. Next, we'll be bowing to the Throne..
I was greeted today at the doctor’s office by a full waiting room, reminiscent of communist polyclinics. It was almost three hours before I saw the doctor for less than five minutes. He was unfocused and hurried.
Six months ago, the wait was fifteen minutes and the doctor was relaxed and had plenty of time to spend with his patients. I asked him why such a long wait and hurry. He rolled his eyes and said, “New Obama care regulations and compliance.”
On June 10, 2010, the President signed an Executive Order creating the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council."

Harkin’s Angry Rant: Tea Party ‘Cult Fringe’; GOP ‘Dead-Beat Debtors’

9/11 Fire Truck Lowered into Ground Zero Site Memorial
NEVER FORGET.....Because TOO MANY already have.....
A fire truck that rushed to the aid of victims on 9/11 returned to the World Trade Center site Wednesday as it was lowered like a huge flag-draped coffin into exhibition space for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
The truck was from the city fire department’s Ladder Company 3, which helped civilians escape from the trade center’s north tower on Sept. 11, 2001. The vehicle had sped to the twin towers from its firehouse in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood with 11 firefighters aboard – all of whom died when the towers collapsed."

The Desperation of Media Matters
According to its website, Media Matters for America, the George Soros-funded left wing hit squad, is a “progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.” The very premise is somewhat laughable – there is far more liberal misinformation in the U.S. media than conservative misinformation. But let’s take their “about us” at face value and assume that yes, indeed, their sole goal is to fight conservative propaganda.
There’s only one problem.
They violate their 501(c)3 charitable exemption on a daily basis."

Glenn Beck Stirs Crowd at Christians United For Israel
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me
Receiving rousing ovations and thunderous applause, former Fox News television personality Glenn Beck told an audience of over 5,000 gathered at the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) national summit in Washington that if the pernicious trends in global anti-Semitism culminate in another genocide, “then count me as a Jew, and come for me first.” Mr. Beck delivered these remarks as part of his keynote address at the “Night to Honor Israel” gala banquet at CUFI’s sixth annual convocation on Tuesday evening, July 19th."

Sheila Jackson Lee: The Race Card Hits Its Debt Limit
The one thing that the Federal budget and the race card have in common is that neither one has any spending limit. And suggesting any spending limit is racist. But what unlimited spending really translates to is unlimited power. And unlimited privilege."
When The Boys In Leadership Flee, Will The Freedom Fighters in the House Hold the Line? | RedState
Will the "Leadership" hold? And trust me when I say I use the word "Leadership" carefully. John Boehner says they will...."will they"...?...
Do they possess the "Will"? I just don't know anymore.
The fact the next vote is taking place on Saturday worries me because it's out of the News Cycle....which means nasty things can happen when everyone is at the beach.
Remember Obamacare?
I called my Senators to Cut, Cap & Balance JUST like my business has had to....did you?
This isn't a spectator sport. You want a hand in the game - call the coach - send in the plays....WE hold the power!
When the boys in leadership run off the battlefield, will the freedom fighters in the House hold the line?
We’ve seen this before. The House leaders rallied the troops to vote for Paul Ryan’s plan and then ran from it as far as possible. Heck, they even sent Paul Ryan into the witness protection program during the debt ceiling fight.
You House guys were getting shot up and leadership was hiding or trying to cut deals behind your back. That’s apparently the nature of Republican Leadership."

MSNBC To GOP Congressman: "Do You Have A Degree In Economics?" | RealClearPolitics
Two Points for Gryffindor!
MSNBC's Contessa Brewer, you may remember just yesterday said the attack on Rupert Murdoch at a hearing encapsulated what the British were feeling.
Today, Contessa 'educated' a conservative Representative that if Congress does not raise the debt raising, the country would be 'reverting into a depression.' Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.
'Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors,' Rep. Brooks responded."
