Mark Levin: U.S. Probably At Point Of No Return If Obama Wins.....

Mark Levin: In my mind, it's probably yes. That doesn’t mean I’m not going to fight the rest of my life. I’m not going to curl up in a fetal position and leave my family exposed to this. But it’s going to make the battle a 1000 times more difficult. We have a man as president of the United States that does not feel constrained by the Constitution, has nothing but contempt for it.

Corn On Romney Video Timing: Wanted To Figure Out "How We Can Use It".....

"He started digging, made contact with the source and without knowing what the source had, he then put me in touch with him. And then -- you've done this, Howie, I spent you know, two weeks or so going back and forth with him. 'What do you have? How can we use it?' And finally convincing him, let me see the whole tape and giving me access to it.

Letterman Stunner.....

Once again...Ben nails it......

Mr. Obama answered, as if the question were not insane, "About one eighty."

"Looks good on you," said Dave. "You carry it well."

The first question should have been, "Mister President, what on earth are you doing here? The Middle East is on the brink of war. Iran, the most dangerous nation on earth, is about to get a nuclear bomb. Why did you blow off talks to save the world from an Islamic bomb and the Mideast from war to appear on a comedy talk show?"

Of course, that was never asked.

Actress Jessica Alba asks voters to pledge allegiance to Obama.....

I pledge my allegiance to one idea...one country....the United States of America....NOT Obama...NOT any President.

 “Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: We’d stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance,” explains Alba. “To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this country’s future. A promise to work for liberty and justice — and for affordable education, health care, and equality — for all.”

Guilty as Sin, Free as a Bird?

 That the AG didn't know about this far reaching program before February 2011 is only believable if one concedes Holder is a bumbling novice unfamiliar with the rule of law. Holder is no rookie. He's been breaking the rules for a long time as chronicled by many writers here at American Thinker. See here.

In addition, congressional testimony by various ATF and DOJ officials over the last year and a half, including Holder himself, contradict the IG's report. See here.

New Jobless Claims Report Shows Businesses Aren’t Hiring.....

Employers added a paltry 96,000 jobs last month, 9,000 of which were striking utilities workers returning to work, below the 141,000 in July and much lower than the average 226,000 added in the first three months of the year. Recent job gains are barely enough to keep up with the growth of the working age population and aren’t enough to rapidly drive down unemployment.

Texas Man Bud Johnson Hangs Chair Representing Obama ......

Perhaps more of us should do this.......simple way to make a point.....no name calling...just chair displaying.....

A Texas man hung an empty chair from a tree in his front yard in a display he said was meant to represent President Barack Obama.

More Americans Than Forecast Filed Jobless Claims .....

 “The problems are more on the hiring side than the layoffs side,” said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics Inc. in West Chester, Pennsylvania, who projected a rise to 385,000 claims. “If they panic and start cutting workers, that would raise an immediate red flag because layoffs would be a recipe for another recession.”

Here Are The Best Tweets About The Missing Two Minutes of The Secret Romney Video....

Yesterday, TheBlaze uncovered that there was a large gap in the supposedly “complete” video of Mitt Romney’s illegally taped fundraiser. David Corn, the Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, was forced to admit that the video was a missing “one or two minutes.”

Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record .....

Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.

Kountze Independent School District Bans Christian Football Signs .....

These malignant beings are attacking every institution they can under a friendly Administration and the fact the economy is so bad...most of these institutions do not have the funds nor wherewithal to fight back. 
They are eradicating "Divine Providence" from our Nation's being....
I'd say it's LONG past time to fight back....and I am NOT religious. I just KNOW when right is right.

Just months before the annual War on Christmas is slated to kick-off, atheist activists are tackling yet another target — football. TheBlaze has covered a number of stories involving non-believers and their campaign to eradicate any semblance of religion from public high school and college teams. In the latest example, Kountze Independent School District has officially banned run-through banners that contain religious messages — an act that has set off a firestorm of controversy.

Quayle: Holder 'lied to my face' during House testimony....

This group does know how to spike the football!

“I saw earlier that Holder is basically doing a victory dance and that he thinks this [inspector general] report exonerates him and there was no dishonesty with Congress — that’s just a blatant lie,” Quayle said in a phone interview. “I mean, he lied to me — to my face — during questioning, saying they had reviewed the wiretap applications after the fact and claiming that there was no reference to gunwalking, which is blatantly false.”

Wildly out of touch media complain Romney not regular guy .....

At a private gathering, Romney told donors that Obama had a lock on the 47 percent of voters “who pay no income tax” and “believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.” This was deeply offensive to people who pay no income tax and believe the government has a responsibility to care for them.

But no matter how much the media belch out the usual cliches — out of touch, insensitive, racist, not one of us, Thurston Howell, etc. etc. — all most people heard was: FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF AMERICANS PAY NO INCOME TAX?

Andrea Mitchell Explains MSNBC & NBC Hasn‘t Verified Obama’s 1998 ‘Redistribution’ Speech — So they Won’t Play it ....

Final Thought: Who knows? Maybe Mitchell and MSNBC are waiting on the full, uncut audio of the Loyola conference to ensure nothing has been left out or selectively edited.

It’s a good thing that sort of attention to detail and even-handedness kept the networks from airing snippets of Mother Jones’ footage of that Romney fundraiser without any caveats. Oh, wait — never mind.

Obama for America | 2012 | Store | Our Stripes: Flag Print ........

Really...? Wedding Registrations for Obama...Flea Markets for Obama...Lemonade Stands for Obama.....

Screen print designed by Ross Bruggink and Dan Olson of Studio MPLS. Limited edition (250 units), hand-numbered, 24'' x 36'' and made in the USA.

U.S. officials clarify administration description of two heroes in Libya attack....

So...where WAS his security detail?

 The two former Navy SEALs killed in last week's attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi were not part of Ambassador Chris Stevens' official security detail but took up arms in an effort to protect the facility when it was overrun by insurgents, U.S. officials tell the Washington Guardian.

Tax penalty to hit nearly 6 million uninsured people....

This is only the tip of the iceberg.....and we are the Titanic!

Congressional budget analysts are now estimating that nearly 6 million Americans - most of them in the middle class - will have to pay a tax penalty for not getting health insurance once President Barack Obama's health care law is fully in place.

That's 2 million more than a previous estimate found, or a 50 percent increase. The average penalty will be nearly $1,200.

Reporters haven’t asked about Sebelius breaking law.....

Just imagine the howling if it where the Bush Administration....

Reporters covering the White House don’t seem to have many questions about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who was last week found in violation of federal law against engaging in political activity while on the job.

Number of able-bodied adults on food stamps doubled after Obama suspended work requirement ......

Amen! Amen! Amen! 
Each week in our little local paper...the police notes have at least one 18-ish year old arrested for whatever. 
In his belongings is HIS or HER EBT ( Welfare ) card......what the heck?????
I hear Atlas Shrugging!

Obama administration officials have insisted that their decision to grant states waivers to redefine work requirements for welfare recipients would not “gut” the landmark 1996 welfare reform law. But a new report from the Congressional Research Service obtained by the Washington Examiner suggests that the administration’s suspension of a separate welfare work requirement has already helped explode the number of able-bodied Americans on food stamps.

Texas mom sues police after arrest for allowing kids to play outside.....

Have we gone insane as a nation????

Police arrested a Texas mom for allowing her children to play outside last week, after a neighbor reported to police that the kids were riding scooters around a cul de sac.

Tammy Cooper, who was arrested for child endangerment, insists she was watching her children from a lawn chair in her front yard.

Now, Cooper is suing the La Porte Police Department, the arresting officer and the neighbor who made the call.

DHS Purchases 200 Million More Rounds of Ammunition.....

OK...with everything going on in the world and the US...this stuff is starting to give me pause......and indigestion....

Following controversy over its purchase of around 1.2 billion bullets in the last six months alone, the Department of Homeland Security has put out a new solicitation for over 200 million more rounds of ammunition, some of which are designated to be used by snipers.

Alpha Natural Resources Announces it Will Close Eight Mines and Layoff 1K Workers .....

More recovery at work......

Crutchfield called it “a difficult day,” but said the shutdowns and layoffs are a necessary part of ensuring Alpha survives in what has become a difficult U.S. market, where coal companies face a dual challenge: a shift towards natural gas and “a regulatory environment that’s aggressively aimed at constraining the use of coal.”

Mitt Romney’s Remarks are Another Chick-Fil-A Moment .....

What Mitt Romney said was true. 
It wasn't meant as stump speak spoken in front of the microphones. 
It was done in private....for a fund raiser. Anyone here can imagine what Obama is saying about we "Tea Partiers" etc.....my hair catches fire at the thought.
Mitt wasn't discussing the means tested folks who are desperate and are reaching out for help during this gawd awful economic "recovery"...yes, I wrote that with a straight face.
He was talking about the abusers...and we ALL know there are alot of them. 
I believe Mass. may be the epicenter.
I bet most of us at one time or another have reached out for government help. I know I have and thank heavens it was there. 
But I used what I needed to take the next step and then left it behind. That is what it is there for.
Don't blame Mitt for speaking the truth...
Blame Obama for destroying our economic future....

That off the cuff, off the record talk was what they needed to hear. Mitt Romney recognizes we have a problem with government dependency, as do a majority of Americans. But more importantly, Mitt Romney will improve the lives of that 47% by growing the private sector, not redistributing pieces of the economic pie.

Michelle Obama's school lunch rhetoric collides with reality.....

I am all for healthy eating. However...I also have a friend who cooks for the School Dept. 
She said she has never seen so much waste in her life. 
Between the entitled kids on free lunch tossing what they don't want and kids just not touching what is being offered....money is going down the drain. 
Hey...Michelle Antoinette Obama.....more "Let them eat cake"?!

The nationwide experience is mirroring what happened years ago in Berkeley, when world-famous restaurateur Alice Waters gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Berkeley schools in order to offer healthy, organic fare to school children, only to see it go uneaten. It seems that progressives never learn.

The Food Stamp Recovery: The Unprecedented Increase in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program 2008-12.......

 The increase in participation in 2008 was caused by a combination of widened benefit eligibility, the recession, and a concerted effort to expand access to benefits. The 2008 Farm Bill changed the name of the program from the Food Stamp Program to SNAP, in an effort to reduce the social stigma associated with receiving benefits. As of October 1, 2008, the minimum benefit and standard deduction for households were increased. The cap for child care expenses was also eliminated. There were also changes aimed at combating fraud, including disqualification of people who sold benefits or food obtained with SNAP benefits for cash, and the bill allowed the USDA more flexibility in setting consequences including fines and disqualification periods for retailers who engaged in food stamp fraud.[4]

Feds ignore rules and use stimulus cash to buy Chinese solar panels....

OK...we pick "winners" and lend and endless stream of money to American solar panel/Green energy companies that collapse...
Then we blame the Chinese for un-fair labor practices causing this collapse.....                                ( had nothing to do with bad judgement...!?)...
And then break federal law to purchase solar panels with MORE stimulus money from the SAME people we blame for killing American businesses......
I have a headache.....

Government officials blame unfair competition from China for the collapse of solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, but such concerns didn’t stop the federal government from breaking stimulus program rules to use Chinese solar panels atop a federal building housing the offices of a senator, congressman and several agencies.

Pakistan protester dies from smoke of burning American flag at anti-film rally ......

What goes around...comes around....Water seeks it's own level...or in this case....fire....

 In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.

Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.

Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

MSNBC Small Business Panelist: ‘Insane’ To Think You Built It ‘All By Yourself’ ......

OK...My head just exploded......

Here are my thoughts about that...



Elizabeth Warren by the numbers……


1.) "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own.
Nobody…
You built a factory out there - good for you.
But I want to be clear.
You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.

Really? Last time I checked we – company owners large & small - paid road excise taxes…state taxes…city taxes, gas taxes….etc… that are supposed to fund this construction….. We also pay freight costs for all goods coming and going on those same roads…..taken care of by our – all of our tax money.
(Except, of course for the approx. 49% who have no skin in the game but take/get the most….)

2.) You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.

Really? We pay property taxes….sometimes on both our homes and business locations. These are “supposed” to be utilized to educate our children…thus… our future “employees”.
Nobody out there paid for our college educations used to perhaps create this idea and/or business we now fight to keep alive……

3.) You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

Once again, those pesky property taxes…state taxes…never mind fees etc. we all pay…
Sometimes our own security in addition to our civic responsibilities……
And….again sometimes twice because of a business location.

4.) You didn't have to worry that marauding bands (Huh?!) would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did.

What in the name of GOD – ( yes, I have no problem including the word GOD in my platform ) …are you talking about?
We pay State, Federal, Corporate, Payroll Sales taxes…fees…permits…..yada yada each DAY, week – month, year that is supposed to fund all of this….

5.) Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea, God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. (Why thanks….) But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."

The “next kid” coming along can take the same risk….lose the same money, sign onto the same financial risks, work the same insane hours, lose countless hours of sleep with worry that the rest of us all did to CREATE our businesses…
To PROVIDE jobs for our employees and help pay taxes to the government that couldn’t survive a DAY without all of us because it doesn’t have a vehicle for generating ANY money of it’s own…
NONE without “We the People”……

So,YES, we DID build this…..
We will decide who we pass what meager profits along to…
.WE WILL DECIDE!

Elizabeth recently said this at the DNC Convention….

6.) "Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters, because we don't run this country for corporations, we run it for people."

Really….we may only be a small “Corporation”…but the last time I checked it was populated by caring, loving PEOPLE.
PEOPLE with family’s…with children, with all the normal worries we all have each day in this GAWD AWFUL economy.
The last time I checked…. I am “people” too…….I just happen to own a Corporation. Most of us out here are small….10 +- people Corporations…..
We live, we have hearts that break, we laugh, we dance, we get sick, we die…..just like you…..

But how would she ever know this? You would have to actually start a corporation to understand and possibly earn the right to pontificate and lecture the rest of us… Maybe then we’d listen to you…..

Nah……………

And finally… We do NOT live in a vacuum.
We don’t create a business and miraculously shed all the other normal civic and financial responsibilities everyone has……

They forget that even though we may own a business…we’re also card carrying members of “WE THE PEOPLE”….and we VOTE!




Perry called the notion that businesses are built by individual initiative “a myth,” noting a broad liberal talking point about how one’s success is “supplemented” by “taxpayers who pay for schools, roads, laws and institutions that make business possible.” Perry went on to say entrepreneurs who get upset with the government just “may not understand” how important the government is for their success.

College Professor Sharon Sweet on Leave After Making Students Sign ‘Obama’ Pledge.....

A college professor at Brevard Community College (BCC) in Cocoa, Fla. has been placed on leave after she allegedly required her class to sign a pledge to vote for President Barack Obama “and Democrats up and down the ticket.

What Obama Thinks of Americans.....

I must agree about this after seeing what I found to be a very measured examination of Obama's view of the world - Obama 2016.
I never felt as though this President really liked America...and by proxy American's very much.....
This article and the TRUTH that's out there proves my point.

The truth comes out Washington-style: as "gaffes."

There is a stream of insults that has flown forth over the past few years -- and have been all but smothered by the media. That is an anomaly, of course -- because if there has ever been a "man bites dog" story that should compel media coverage, it would be a politician -- let alone a president -- who, instead of delivering paeans to the people, rebukes them repeatedly.

Palestine has no interest in establishing peace....Romney

2nd time today HE IS RIGHT! TELLING THE TRUTH!

"I'm torn by two perspectives in this regard," Romney said at a $50,000-per-plate fundraising dinner on May 17. "One is the one which I've had for some time, which is that the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish."

In unusual move, top Chinese general tells troops to ready for combat with Japan.....

Me thinks this is to deflect attention away from their collapsing economy.....

China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.

State Department Considering Talks to Transfer Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman to Egypt, Source Says.....

The Blind Sheikh is currently serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but the newly-elected Islamist government in Egypt has been actively petitioning his release. Many have pinpointed a cause of last week‘s unrest in in the country to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release — not an anti-Muslim YouTube video.

Citing the handling of the current crisis in the Middle East, and the administration’s explanation that an anti-Islamic video is to blame, Beck warned that the administration may be trying to initiate a “Bubba effect.”

“If this is true…I believe this administration is trying to initiate a ‘Bubba effect,’” he explained. “That is, the average person turning against the government, collectively…because no one trusts them.”

Bigoted Anti-Islam filmmaker's name revealed: Bill Maher......

John Nolte notes that, in the eyes of Obama and his team, "some anti-Islamic filmmakers are more equal than others." Apparently, in the eyes of his subservient media, some Jews are also more equal than others.

Students strike against new federal school lunch rules.....

He grabbed a bagel and a Gatorade afterward; if he eats before lifting, he gets sick.

That was followed by eight periods in the classroom, and then three hours of football practice. By the time he headed home, he had burned upward of 3,000 calories - his coach thinks the number is even higher.

But the calorie cap for his school lunch? 850 calories.

"A lot of us are starting to get hungry even before the practice begins," Blohm said. "Our metabolisms are all sped up."

Twitter hands over protester's private data ....

I know the world has tipped upside-down when I agree with the ACLU.....

An ACLU spokesman told The Huffington Post UK last week: "It is becoming increasingly clear that law enforcement around the U.S. is aggressively issuing subpoenas and obtaining court orders to obtain information about people’s internet activities and communications. We don’t know exactly how often, because the vast majority of these requests are never made public, and many are kept secret by court order. But we do know that it is occurring a lot."

8,786,049: Yet Another Record for Americans Collecting Disability....

Mitt Romney is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
We need a safety net...I bet almost all of us at some time or other have had to lean on it. But that is the key word..."lean on it" as a safety net.
Not a life style....not with a sense of entitlement.
He wasn't talking Elderly. They've earned ( by government formulas and payments ) what they receive....
However there are ALOT of people who don't. All that "Free Money" they keep discussing is OUR TAX DOLLARS......
"I once was blind...but now I see" WAKE UP!!!
This isn't a "Gaffe" unless you live in the Willy Wonka World of President Obama..it's the TRUTH.
Something this Administration wouldn't know if it bit them in the posterior.
Atlas is shrugging and we'd all better get skin in this game!

The Social Security Administration has released new data revealing that 8,786,049 American workers are collecting federal disability insurance payments in September. That sets yet another record for the number of Americans on disability.

Hillary Cheered Broadway's Book of Mormon, Condemns Innocence of Muslims.....

Nice juxtaposition....

Although some likely found The Book of Mormon as "offensive and reprehensible and disgusting" as White House spokesman Jay Carney found Innocence of Muslims, the Obama administration chose not to denounce it. Nor could I find any protest from Carney when his former employer, TIME Magazine, praised The Book of Mormon as "bright and enjoyable, and good enough to make even a grumpy critic's 10 Best list."

For Every $1 Added to the Economy, Obama Added More Than $3 in Debt - Government Spending........

For every $1 added to the economy, we’ve added more than $3 in debt

Republicans criticize four-gallon EPA gas purchase mandate.....

I'd of been screwed when I was a teenager! Hell, I bought one or two gallons all the time!

“The EPA has no business telling Americans how much fuel they must purchase,” the letter from Republican committee members Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin and Chip Cravaack of Minnesota.

“Furthermore, EPA’s first-ever fuel purchase requirement appears to have been made outside the normal rulemaking process, seems antithetical to free markets, and highlights the flaws in the agency’s hasty decision to grant partial waivers for E15 prior to comprehensive scientific evaluation and assessment,” the congressmen continue.

U.S. Treasury Turns Down GM’s Offer to Buy Back Shares .....

Truth hurts when it sees the light of day.....

General Motors Co. executives want the Treasury Department to sell its almost 27 percent stake in the company because, they say, the feds are hurting their image and government pay restrictions are chasing away top talent.

But Treasury officials aren’t interested in selling because it would mean posting a multibillion dollar loss during an election year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Speaking American as a second language ......

Do you recall what prompted Fleischer to make this comment? He was not talking about “comedian” Bill Maher’s disgusting assertion that it was wrong to call the 9/11 hijackers cowards, because they were gutsy enough to get on airplanes with box cutters and die in their assault on America, whereas our political and military establishment was cravenly lobbing cruise missiles at its enemies. That was brought up later in the interview with Fleischer, and he said that if press reports of Maher’s comments were accurate, it was “a terrible thing to say.”

American prison labor means longer unemployment lines......

And higher cost of goods.......typical government intervention.....

American Apparel, the Selma, Ala., based military clothing manufacturer closed one of its plants and continues to downsize others due to the loss of some of its contracts to FPI. According retired Air Force colonel and spokesman Kurt Wilson, the company laid off 255 employees and cut the hours of 190 employees this year alone. So private workers end up losing their jobs to prisoners.

Obama's Disdain for Democracy and Free Expression.....

Ironically, one of the most brazen examples of the President's propensity to ignore the wishes of the electorate occurred just recently at the Democratic National Convention. I refer, of course, to the infamous floor vote that resulted in the reinsertion of the words "God" and "Jerusalem" in the Democratic-party platform.

Judge Strikes Down Scott Walker’s Collective Bargaining Law.....

I tire so much of activist judges going against the voter....VOTER......the strongest power of them all.....if only we would stand together....

A Wisconsin judge has struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.

Constitution Day 2012 ......

Get a copy....take ten minutes, and read the mightiest document ever handed down by man and god....

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." --preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America

End Times......

As always, Ben finds a way to write what all of us are feeling......there is a chill in the air...and even the sun is breaking through it....

I awakened to a text from a close friend who is a devout Christian and who was so angry at the elite media that she could not sleep. "I am so frikkin' sick of the media telling us that Islam is a 'religion of peace,'" she said. "Look, people make fun of Jesus all of the time and I mean ALL of the time and we don't kill them or harm them. But do anything at all that offends any Muslim and they start killing Christians and Jews -- and then Obama apologizes for it. How long can this go on? The times of Tribulation are at hand."

Ryan Criticizes Obama on Foreign Policy...

But Mr. Romney’s blunt criticisms of the current administration went over well with this crowd. As Mr. Ryan was introduced, Bill Bennett, the conservative commentator and radio host, read Mr. Romney’s much discussed statement in full, earning a standing ovation. “The press jumped on to kill this truth in the womb, something it is well-practiced at,” Mr. Bennett said of Mr. Romney’s words.

Disgrace in Benghazi......

The president is surrounded by delirious fanbois and fangurls screaming “We love you,” too drunk on his celebrity to understand this is the first photo-op in the aftermath of a national humiliation. No, no, a filmmaker would say; too crass, too blunt. Make them sober, middle-aged midwesterners, shocked at first, but then quiet and respectful.

Employer healthcare premiums outpace inflation, wages......

U.S. health insurance premiums have climbed faster than wages and inflation this year, and look poised to accelerate in 2013, adding to voter concerns about soaring healthcare costs ahead of November elections for the White House and Congress.

Obama's Devastating Defense Cuts Detailed.....

And this Administration thinks it's a Game...."Games" are played on Sunday afternoon between the uprights....not with our National Security....

President Obama’s Administration Was Behind The Idea Of “Massive Defense Cuts.” “The book ‘The Price of Politics,’ by Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward, makes it clear the idea for the draconian spending cuts originated in the White House – and not in Congress. According to the book, excerpts of which were obtained by POLITICO ahead of the Sept. 11 release, President Barack Obama’s top deputies believed the prospect of massive defense cuts would compel Republicans to agree to a deficit-cutting grand bargain.

Obama vs. the First Amendment ......

Excellent read....especially when he states..."We need a President of the United States, a job that has never suited, and has never been of much interest to, Barack Obama."
That sums everything up brilliantly!

Democrats and their sharky Obamedia defense lawyers are in a snit. For three dreamy convention days in Charlotte, they told themselves that, for the first time in decades, it was their guy who had the upper hand when it came to national security. Now that bubble has burst, the way contrived narratives do when they crash into concrete challenges. At that point, an airy president of the world won’t do; we need to have a president of the United States, a job that has never suited, and has never been of much interest to, Barack Obama.

Gun Sales Hinge on Obama Re-Election .....

The Sidney, Neb.-based retailer and other companies in the guns-and-ammo business say if Mr. Obama wins a second term they are preparing for a surge in sales—the same as they saw after he was elected in 2008—from buyers fearful the president would back policies to make buying a gun more difficult. If Republican challenger Mitt Romney wins, though, the chain plans to stock more items such as waterproof boots and camouflage hunting gear.

Obama’s ‘proud’ statements on changing US image may backfire ....

"If we are nice to them....they'll be nice to us"...I've heard this said in one form or another since Obama came into Office from he and his minions......how's this working out for us?

In February, Obama said, “One of the proudest things of my three years in office is helping to restore a sense of respect for America around the world, a belief that we are not just defined by the size of our military.”

Three years ago in Cairo, Obama stressed his leadership would be dramatically different than former President George W. Bush’s: “I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition.”

The Video Didn’t Do It .......

I am so sick of our "Leaders" and those in Government treating us like morons. Every day I listen to the pablum they spew....in the guise of "explanations"...and I wonder how many they think believe this tripe? And...what worries me more is...How many DO believe the nonsense coming from the White House.....Have we lost already...?
I think not.

Carney’s comments lie outside the range of plausible spin, even by Obama administration standards, and if his bosses believe them—as we fear they do—are simply delusional. But they are not without consequence. Nor are Gates’s and Dempsey’s phone calls. They all send the message to America’s enemies that if you kill our diplomats and lay siege to the our embassies, the first move the American government will make is to denounce .  .  . Americans.

‘Whose Democratic Party?’ .....

A new advertisement scheduled to run in Florida makes the case that President Obama has pushed the Democratic Party to embrace anti-Israel policies, according to a copy of the ad obtained by the Free Beacon.

Forget That Supersize Soda — NYC Passes Soda Ban.....

Ya think.....however we LET IT HAPPEN......

Some New Yorkers have also ridiculed the rule as a gross government intrusion.

The Problem With Obama's Polls.....

Do not let these polls fool you. In 1980 similar polls showed Jimmy Carter leading the Old Cowboy almost to the very end. Carter was ahead of Governor Ronald Reagan by 4 points in late September, by 8 points in October, and the Gallup polls had him ahead of Reagan by 6 points in last days of the election. Reagan won by 9 points, sweeping 44 states. In 1988 Governor Dukakis at one point led Vice President George H. W. Bush by 17 points. He lost by almost 8 points.

REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines.......

Are they MAD????
The other side can kill, behead, denigrate our country and people in any manner, burn our flag, fly planes into buildings...and we don't give OUR MARINES LIVE AMMO????????

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

Weekly Jobless Claims Jump; Producer Prices Gassed Up ......

In a separate report, a sharp rise in gasoline costs drove up wholesale prices last month by the most in more than three years. But outside energy and food, price gains were mild.

Tierney launches first TV ad ....

Richard is a good and decent man. He is responsive to people's requests......in a way Tierney couldn't begin to do. If you look up the definition of an "Empty Suit"...I wouldn't be surprised to see a photo of John Tierney.

Tisei responded to the ad by urging voters in Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District to "consider the source" of the ad and examine his opponent's record in Congress.
"All John Tierney has to offer the voters is fear itself," Tisei said in a statement. Tierney has been targeted by GOP leaders as being perhaps the most politically vulnerable of the state's all-Democratic House delegation, as the incumbent faces claims that he had knowledge of the illegal nature of a gambling venture being operated by his two brothers-in-law in the Caribbean.

Experts Say They Know the REAL Reason for U.S. Embassy Attacks in Egypt & Libya......

Islamists claim their bloody siege of the U.S. Embassies in Cairo and Benghazi on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was catalyzed by an “anti-Islam” movie
Experts say the real reason for the onslaught was not a movie mocking Islam, but part of a concerted “ten year plan” to make slandering Islam unlawful on an international scale
U.S. administration’s hair-trigger reaction was to first apologize for offending Islam, rather than meet fire with fire over the act of war on U.S. soil
A contingent of the Islamists waging the attacks were the very “rebels” America aided in the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Libya

Billboard Migrates To Bumpers: "The Seals Removed One Threat to America, Remove The Other in November".......

VOTE!!!!

A North Texas billboard that garnered national attention for its election message, is expanding from the side of local highway, to highways across the nation. It’s moved off the board to bumper stickers, and even t-shirts, after reports about the ad spread across the internet.

“There was a guy called from Tennessee, one from San Diego, one from Oklahoma,” said Tom Schad, the Gainesville man who originally paid for the ad along I-35.

'Romney Offends the Pundits' .....

Good! keep it going Mitt....because he is STILL not standing up for the Country!

The Weekly Standard: The Obama Presidential campaign jumped on the remarks Wednesday as inappropriate, yet a "senior Administration official" had told the website Politico later on Tuesday night that "The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government." So the White House can walk away from its own diplomats, but Mr. Romney can't criticize them?

2004 FLASHBACK: Kerry Slams Bush Same Day Seven Servicemen Killed In Iraq......

In the wake of a overseas tragedy, in 2004, Kerry not only had no problem with the idea of publicly hammering a president for what was perceived as a foreign policy blunder, he was the one doing the hammering.

But now that's wrong, you know, because Barack.

So who's playing politics here?

That would be Barack Obama and his utterly shameless media minions.

MSM Reporters Caught on Open Mic Planning Attack on Romney.....

What's the matter Media? Finally met someone who doesn't cower in your presence?

Their goal was to make sure that no question would address the substance of the crisis but instead put Romney on the defensive about made-up mistakes in his criticism of President Obama.

In the event, six out of the seven questions were almost exactly the same, all questioning Romney for his supposed mistake. (Romney handled the questions very well.)

Obama Expands ATF's Right to Seize Guns Without Due Process.....

Almost time to hide your guns!

Obama has expanded civil-forfeiture rules making it permissible for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to seize weapons from citizens without the hassle of due process.

Sebelius Illegally Campaigned on Taxpayer’s Dime......

Yeah.....and what are we going to do about this......

Independent federal legal officials have concluded that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated federal law by conducting political activity “in an official capacity,” according to a statement released on Wednesday.

“Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012,” the news release from the U.S. Office of Special Council states.

Liz Cheney: Cairo, Benghazi and Obama Foreign Policy.....

Once again...the Cheney Family nails it!

In response to the attack in Cairo, diplomats there condemned not the attackers but those who "hurt the religious feelings of Muslims." The president appeared in the Rose Garden less than 24 hours later to condemn the Libya assault and failed even to mention the attack in Egypt. The message sent to radicals throughout the region: If you assault an American embassy but don't kill anyone, the U.S. president won't complain.

The American Media Beclowned Themselves Yesterday .....

Mitt Romney was the ONLY American politician.....person in some form of power...to show a PAIR!
I am not a huge Romney fan...but MAN!
Wasn't it nice to see someone say SCREW to the Middle Eastern thugs instead of apologizing again and again for what???????
Don't back down Mitt.....stand your ground. More and more of us daily have your back!

But the media wanted to focus on Mitt Romney.

Yesterday, the media spent much time condemning the Coptic Christians for their movie, but we now know the movie had been out for months and we also know the riots were orchestrated in advance. We also know the attack on the American consulate in Libya used the riots as cover for the attack.

But the media wanted to focus on Mitt Romney.

Constitutional experts call Obama’s abuse of power historic ......

His lack of foreign policy...unless you call an "Apology Tour" foreign policy...(?)...
His historic lack of respect for our laws and Constitution.....every day the list grows.
THIS is what scares many of us.....

“The administration has repeatedly put its partisan agenda above the rule of law,” committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said. “In doing so, it has eroded the constitutional and legal foundation that have kept America prosperous and free for over 200 years.”

Smith enumerated other instances of alleged presidential overreach, including Obama’s decision to stop enforcing parts of U.S. immigration law to allow illegal aliens to stay in the country legally if they meet certain criteria and waivers issued to the No Child Left Behind Act and welfare reform bill that Smith said “effectively rewrite the law instead of enforcing it.”

Coulter: Libya commemorates 9/11....

Scheuer said the media had taken “a few English-speaking Arabs who are pro-democracy and a few Facebook pages out of the Middle East and extrapolated that to a region-wide love of secular democracy,” adding, “It is as insane a situation as I’ve ever encountered in my life.”

The Muslim Brotherhood in the Obama Administration ......

I ordered my copy.....have you yet???

If anyone needed evidence that Hillary Clinton is in the pocket of the Muslim Brotherhood, the events of the last few days should be more than sufficient. On the anniversary of 9/11, on what should be a day of shame for the Muslim world, the US Embassy in Cairo issued a statement condemning critics of Islamofascism in language appropriate to the office of propaganda for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt to take legal action in US against Prophet film makers......

So...this is their apology for killing four of our people? And...we also have a little thing called the Constitution and Freedom of Speech.....

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi asked the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action in the United States against makers of a film attacking the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, the official state news agency said on Wednesday.



Morsi had requested the mission take "all legal measures", the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve. (Reuters)

Verenice Gutierrez Claims PB&J Could Hold Racist Connotations.....

Thank heavens it's late in the day...I can drink soon................

Are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches racist? A bizarre question, to say the least, but one that at least one school administrator is asking out in Portland, Oregon. Verenice Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, seems to believe that there are racial connotations associated with the common lunch-time meal.

Obama's Arab Spring becomes the Arab Winter....

The murder of Ambassador Stevens prompts a new question to Obama supporters: "How's that Arab Spring thing workin' out for ya?"

The horrific photo of Chris Stevens, who died in service to his country, is the new icon for Obama's naive Arab Spring mantra.

The Plot Thickens......

It makes me wonder if they have any explicit or implicit mission statement. For example, is it, "My mission as a journalist is to choose a political candidate and then select and slant what I report so as to help him/her get into office." Or possibly, "My mission as a journalist/reporter is to show my like-minded colleagues that I'm one of them." I simply cannot conceive what they perceive their professional responsibilities to be. It apparently never enters their minds.

Clinton Myths ....

President Clinton happily takes credit for reducing America's budget deficit and presiding over a period of strong economic growth. But this happened not because of wise leadership. Clinton had the good fortune to reside in the White House just as the high-tech information revolution kicked in and a Republican Congress stopped him from spending what Democrats wanted to spend.

Progressives say that his increase of the top tax bracket did not prevent economic growth, but it never occurs to them that growth would have been even stronger had government not confiscated that money.

Sadly, most who watched St. Bill at the DNC will never know the truth.

Teachers Strike, Children Suffer ......

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." --Samuel Adams

Freeloaders on Safety Net Programs Double Dip to Get Thousands in Taxpayer Dollars.....

This is what Paul Ryan has been railing against for years!

In July, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report showing that, as many Americans suspect, there are places where government safety net programs are abused and ripe for reform.

GAO focuses on two programs, unemployment insurance (UI) and disability insurance (DI), and the “double dippers” who collect payments from both.

America's Debt to Its Diplomatic, Military, and Intelligence Personnel....

The deaths in Benghazi, Libya, of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and others in the service of the United States provides a tragic reminder of the great sacrifices that U.S. diplomatic, military, and intelligence personnel serving abroad make to defend America and its interests around the globe.

What Romney Should Have Said....

Ben...he pretty much did already.......
Now they are saying he "jumped the gun"...on his response.
However if he hadn't issued a statement....what do you think would have said?.....
"There....see...John Kerry was right...he has no foreign policy experience or vision...."

"My opponent, Mr. Barack Obama, chose to meet this international outrage by apologizing to the mobs in the form of a letter from Mrs. Clinton's State Department condemning the making of the offending e-mail.

Charles Krauthammer Rips Into U.S. Embassy & Staff for Apologizing to Rioters .....GO TO HELL!!!!

“That’s a hostage statement. That’s a mob of Al-Qaeda sympathizers in Egypt forcing the United States into making a statement essentially of apology — on 9/11 of all days — for something of which we are not responsible. I would issue a statement saying to the mob, ‘Go to hell,’” he added.

IRS: Agents Won't Be Enforcers of Obamacare Mandate.....

Just like Massachusetts doesn't........I also believe in Unicorns...

"IRS revenue agents will not be involved. There will not be audits," IRS Deputy Commissioner Steven Miller told a subcommittee of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.

U.S. Ambassador Killed in Libya ....

Rome burned while Nero fiddled....

The Americans were targeted in an attack in their car, trying to move to a safer venue away from the violent protests that erupted at the U.S. Consulate. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens died of suffocation, while the three other personnel were killed by gunshot wounds, CBS News reports.

U.S. officials have not confirmed the deaths, according to Reuters.

Obamacare Redefines 'Full Time' Employment as 30 Hours a Week.....

Heck....they don't think we "built" this......However...
We're totally responsible for it...
Must pay for it.....
Must abide by every law for it...
Lose everything we have for it...
But we didn't build it.......
Now this............
They wouldn't know how to run a business if it bit them in the ass.....
We will NEVER hire another employee......

The regulations, written by an IRS attorney, arbitrarily redefine "full time employee" as someone who works 30 hours a week for a business. Traditionally, most private businesses have defined "full time employee" as someone who works 40 hours a week. With this new regulation, the federal government is now removing the right of businesses to define "full time employee" as they deem appropriate for their unique conditions.

Obama Breaks 9/11 Truce, Trashes Romney on 'Pimp with a Limp' Show.....

He has Clinton out on this solemn day saying to "honor" 9/11 by voting for Obama....and then this......
Why does our side think "being nice" will win them any favors?
It holds about as much credence as John Kerry insinuating that if we are "nice" to terrorist...they'll be nice back.....
Yeah....sure...they'll just use a smaller caliber weapon....PLEASE....fight back!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama couldn't even wait a day -- and can't find the time for our most important ally in the Middle East. But The "Pimp with the Limp" Obama has all kinds of time for.

Obama Announces Letterman Appearance on Day He Snubbed Netanyahu......

The president will chat with the "Late Show" host during a trip to New York City next week, according to the National Journal. Letterman's nightly monologues mostly spare the president from satirical ribbing, saving his most cutting remarks for the Romneys ... or even former President George W. Bush.

Romney 'Outraged' Over Obama 'Sympathy' for Embassy Attackers.....

At 3:00 Am this morning....when I couldn't sleep because I was worried about our business surviving in this gawd-awful economy....I saw that our Administration called these murderous thugs..."Misguided individuals".......
Good Lord.......Time to bring back the "Ugly American"......

Mitt Romney came out firing this evening against the Obama administration’s feckless response to the attacks on American embassies in Libya and Egypt. His campaign just released his statement moments ago:

'2016 Obama's America' Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza Reacts To President's Slam.......

Slam away....I'm going to see it this weekend!

DEADLINE: What do you think of the criticism the film has received?
D’SOUZA: The criticism of the film actually bothers me less than the neglect of the film. If I were Michael Moore and I were to make a film that was the No. 2 political documentary of all time, I would be on every network. I would be on Meet The Press, and I would be profiled in The New York Times, and I would be all over MSNBC. Instead large sectors of the press are refusing to cover the film. They are just pretending it doesn’t exist.

FAA Honors 9-11: ‘WEEEE,’ ‘WLLLL,’ ‘NEVVR,’ ‘FORGT’ ‘SEP11’....

Pretty cool.....

An FAA spokesman told CNSNews.com that although the public may not be aware of the waypoints’ names, the pilots will be.

“Pilots are intensely aware of where they are at all times,” the spokesman said. “So while they might not make verbal reference to them, they will be acutely aware that they are passing through these waypoints.”

Politico's Harris & VandeHei Launch Pro-Obama Rampage To Kill Romney Off.....

On Saturday, Politico launched The Inevitability Narrative, citing -- per the Politico norm -- unnamed sources in the Romney campaign who all but said: Bring out your dead; Ohio is lost! Bring out your dead; Ohio is lost! And of course, if Romney can't win Ohio, he can't win the presidency.

Have you ever noticed which unnamed Romney advisors these Politico cretins always quote? Yeah, it's always the Bring out your deaders!

9/11: A Clinton Legacy

In my previous post...I asked how Clinton went unscathed for his security lapse regarding 9/11/2001..... guess he didn't.....

It seems only fair, then, to remind the American public that not only does Obama skip most of his daily intelligence briefings, but also that the Clinton administration bears some of the blame for allowing 9/11 to happen. The 9/11 commission identified several Clinton failures, including four missed chances to kill Osama bin Laden, and a failure to adopt “a more aggressive counterterrorism posture” after Al Qaeda’s initial attacks.

Obama Misses Over Half His Intelligence Briefings....

If true...someone tell the NYT? They blamed today ( well, everyday...) on GWB....and how did Clinton go unscathed ?

The Government Accountability Institute, a new conservative investigative research organization, examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) — the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent.

The Chevy Volt: Another Obama Green Investment Loses a Billion ..........

The Chevy Volt costs close to $90,000 to manufacture while it retails for $40,000 according to information gathered by Reuters.

“Nearly two years after the introduction of the path-breaking plug-in hybrid,” writes Reuters, “GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds, according to estimates provided to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts.”

George W. Bush's Address to Congress After 9/11 ....

In the normal course of events, Presidents come to this chamber to report on the state of the Union. Tonight, no such report is needed. It has already been delivered by the American people.

We have seen it in the courage of passengers, who rushed terrorists to save others on the ground -- passengers like an exceptional man named Todd Beamer. And would you please help me to welcome his wife, Lisa Beamer, here tonight. We have seen the state of our Union in the endurance of rescuers, working past exhaustion. We've seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers -- in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. We have seen the decency of a loving and giving people who have made the grief of strangers their own. My fellow citizens, for the last nine days, the entire world has seen for itself the state of our Union -- and it is strong.

Chicago thuggery personified: Meet Chicago Teachers’ Union president Karen Lewis.....

This is the woman leading the walkout of 26,000 public school teachers in Chicago. Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers’ Union, is a loud-mouthed “social justice” radical whose Big Labor racket would rather abandon 350,000 children to the streets than accept merit-based pay, teacher evaluations, and a 16 percent pay raise. The school board had already caved considerably on the union’s demands, but as the Chicago Sun-Times put it: “From the get-go, the union seemed intent on striking.”

Charlie Daniels Recites Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance .......

NEVER FORGET....9/11/2001

Very appropriate for this solemn day, we thought we'd share with you our good friend Charlie Daniels's moving recitation of the late Red Skelton's exposition of the Pledge of Allegiance. You can watch it by clicking the play button below the page break:

An Economic 'Plan'?

Former president Bill Clinton told the Democratic National Convention that Barack Obama has a plan to rescue the economy, and only the fact that the Republicans stood in his way has stopped him from getting the economy out of the doldrums.

NEVER FORGET....9/11/01

On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed on America’s worst day of terrorism as 19 al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four passenger jetliners. Two planes smashed into New York’s World Trade Center, causing the twin towers to fall; one plowed into the Pentagon; and the fourth crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania.
