Ed Schultz's Freak Show

Ed Schultz called the Glenn Beck "Restoring America" rally a freak show. According to this self-loathing American, all of the people who attended this event was a bunch of disaffected McCain supporters. Well, I've got news for you Mr. Hate Speech, I am not a McCain supporter; and without a doubt a lot of the attendees have the same sentiment.

The real freak show was the one Ed Schultz attended down the mall. Al Sharpton's rally was more of a protest of Glenn Beck than it was of praising Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. A banner stated the following "Dr. King the Dream; Glenn Beck the nightmare". Al Sharpton is a real class act.

Ed Schultz then lectures Glenn Beck about 1 out of 6 Americans who currently depend on government assistance. Are you kidding me? This is completely laughable! All of the economic problems we are facing is a direct result of the federal government meddling into the housing and financial sector. But this guy is too damn stupid to figure it out; even Barney Frank admitted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are failures.

Hey Ed, why don't you wear clown makeup when airing your freak show. Oh, and don't forget the obligatory rubber chicken too.

Coke Cancels Employee Health Care

Coke canceled the health care plan of 500 employees after a protracted contract dispute.   Five employees have filed a class action lawsuit.

"My wife had a kidney transplant two years ago. When Coke cancelled our health care, they cut off her anti-rejection medication. This shows me that Coke doesn't care about its employees," said Bill Mauhl, a 34-year Coke employee, who works in the company's production facility in Bellevue.



"In my almost twenty years of representing workers and unions in labor disputes, it's hard to think of any past instance where I have seen an employer retaliate against its striking workers in a manner as egregious as what the Coca-Cola Bottling Company has done here," said Dmitri Iglitzin, an attorney at Schwerin Campbell Barnard Iglitzin & Lavitt, an employment law firm based in Seattle.


"Cutting off the medical benefits to more than 500 workers, knowing that many of them rely on those benefits on a day-to-day basis and will be irreparably harmed if they lose those benefits is a brutal, full-scale attack by Coke on its own workers," Iglitzin said.

Well get used to it.  Soon, all employers are going to dump their insurance plans; forcing all of us on Obamacare.  And if you think that you are being violated now, wait until you're brought before Dr. Berwick's death panel.

Federal Bureaucracy Gone Wild or Obama Thugocracy?

So a misplaced page denies the State of New Jersey a federal grant?  Something doesn't pass the smell test.

The Obama Administration is vindictive and petty; just look at what's happening to America's Sheriff in Arizona:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Maricopa County, Arizona, man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” has until Sept. 10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.



The Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.


“If we do not receive clear and specific agreement for all of the [requests], we will conclude that completion cannot be achieved by voluntary means,” Judy Preston, acting chief of the agency’s Special Litigation Section, wrote to Sheriff’s Office attorney Robert Driscoll.


The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff's Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.


An attorney for the Sheriff’s Office said he is preparing a response to Preston’s request but reiterated complaints that the Department’s allegations of wrongdoing remain unclear.

“I now know after the meeting that they involve Hispanics, but they refuse to provide any specific allegations,” said Driscoll. “This case is pretty unusual, I think. They don’t seem to have any evidence.”

How's that hope and change working for you?

EPA Attacks the Second Amendment

The Environmental Protection Agency is circumventing the Constitution in a back door attempt to deny Americans their second amendment rights.

This unelected bunch of bureaucrats is plotting to outlaw lead, in a frontal attack on denying law abiding citizens ammunition to protect themselves; family and property; and ultimately from a dictatorial government who’s demonstrating daily, the incomprehension on the limitations of their power.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported the following:

With the fall hunting season fast approaching, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Lisa Jackson, who was responsible for banning bear hunting in New Jersey, is now considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) – a leading anti-hunting organization – to ban all traditional ammunition under the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, a law in which Congress expressly exempted ammunition. If the EPA approves the petition, the result will be a total ban on all ammunition containing lead-core components, including hunting and target-shooting rounds. The EPA must decide to accept or reject this petition by November 1, 2010, the day before the midterm elections.

I am reminded of the British regulars who marched on Concord, Massachusetts to destroy Patriot ammunition and arms stores. This is similar in design and theory.

Lisa Jackson is a power hungry bitch, who will impose her will – and ultimately Barack Obama’s – upon the American people. This is the same woman who demanded that Congress pass legislation on Cap and Trade or SHE WOULD BE FORCED TO DO IT HERSELF, with or without the consent of the people; as reported by the New York Post:

Who needs Congress to help govern America? Not the Obama administration, it seems.


At the UN Climate Control conference in Copenhagen yesterday, Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson said that she wants to work with Congress to contain carbon emissions that her agency claims are "dangerous."


"This is not an either/or moment. This is a both/and moment," Jackson said.
Consider that the velvet glove covering the administration's extremist fist -- which had itself been revealed a day earlier in Washington.


An Obama staffer -- speaking anonymously, of course -- told Fox News: "If [Congress doesn't] pass [emissions-control] legislation . . . the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area. And it is not going to be able to regulate in a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way."

Ed Schultz: The Puppet Who is Worried About His Master

Ed Schultz is worried about a tea partier posting the D.C. addresses of politicians? 

Funny, I didn't hear him complain about SEIU, who actually showed up on the front lawn of a PRIVATE CITIZEN and scared the hell out of his teenage son.  Mr. Schultz apparently believes that capitalist pigs are fair game, while his political masters are sacrosanct.

Obama Cuts American Heritage While Funding Foreign Mosque

The U.S. State Department is funding foreign heritage projects throughout the world at the expense of American taxpayers and OUR cultural heritage. Fox News reported the following:


Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.


The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania's ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.

Yeah, let’s preserve the monuments of an oppressive ideology and religion that has enslaved and conquered peoples because of the revelations of a demented megalomaniac.

The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.


Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent almost $26 million on the program to fund about 640 cultural preservation projects in more than 100 countries.


"The fund has demonstrated America's respect for the world's cultural heritage," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last month in announcing the 2010 projects. "Cultural heritage serves as a reminder of historical experiences and achievements of humanity. Ancient structures and objects offer important lessons for us today."

Yes Madame Secretary, but should it be at the expense of our own HERITAGE AND CULTURE? The National Trust for Historic Preservation is getting a 50% budget reduction:

President Obama Releases FY11 Budget with Focus on Deficit Reduction


February 2, 2010 – Yesterday morning President Obama released the spending details of his $3.83 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2011 (FY11). The proposal calls for nearly $23 billion in cuts and terminations of or reductions to 126 programs.

Of which our nation’s history is about to get a huge cut:

National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Fund: $54.5 million (a $25 million decrease from FY10 funding), including zero funding for Save America’s Treasures and Preserve America grant programs, a combined $30 million cut in funding.

I guess this is part of the NASA outreach program to Muslims. Barack Obama and his self-loathing minions in the State Department want to glorify the culture of other peoples, while diminishing the heritage of Americans.

A Mosque Comes to Rock Hill, South Carolina

Rock Hill, South Carolina is going to have a mosque. The Carolinas have attracted a sizable Islamic community; some of its members are undesirable. Just recently, a jihadist blogger from Charlotte, North Carolina spirited to Yemen. Sabir Khan was on the FBI’s radar, but allowed him to escape:


Intelligence sources told national news organizations Monday that they believe Khan is the top editor of "Inspire," an online magazine designed as a recruiting tool for the group al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.


Myrick, a Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee, told the Observer she's frustrated.


"It becomes clear to me that he had contacts with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula while he was in the U.S.," she said. "And if that's the case, the intelligence community should have been able to discover that. And if they knew it and didn't do something, that raises more red flags."

Read more: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/07/21/1574224/myrick-us-failed-to-halt-area.html#ixzz0xfRc3fX8

Khan is not the only Muslim in the area who’s had ties to terrorist organizations. The Holy Land Foundation – a front group for Hezbollah – was operating in the Carolinas:

One of the fund-raising groups that had connections to North Carolina was the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which formerly was based in Richardson, Texas. The Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets named the charity a specially designated terrorist organization and shut it down in 2001.


The foundation was a front organization for Hezbollah and sponsored offices and fund-raisers nationwide, including in Charlotte. The foundation was one of the largest Islamic charities in the United States, raising about $13 million annually

Many in the Charlotte area will remember their cigarette running operation to Michigan:

In July 2000, the FBI charged 18 people with smuggling contraband cigarettes from North Carolina to Michigan and money laundering. According to authorities, author Steve Emerson says in his book American Jihad, what the smugglers were really doing was “providing currency, financial services, training, false documentation and identification, communications equipment, explosives, and other physical assets to Hezbollah, in order to facilitate its violent attacks.”

York, South Carolina has an Islamic enclave. The community calls itself Islamville, South Carolina. All residents are obliged to swear allegiance to Sheikh Mubarik Ali Gilani:

Gilani says on (one) tape, “Life is becoming more hard for Muslims; therefore, every Muslim man or woman should learn to defend himself or herself. We are establishing training camps. You can reach us in South Carolina or Pakistan, wherever we are.”


It’s not known for sure where or when the tape was made, but it does show someone teaching guerilla warfare including weapons training. Sheriff Bryant says neighbors often report hearing gunfire coming from the York County compound.


At least once a month anywhere from 500 to 1,000 Muslims converge on Islamville. The sheriff says his office is always told in advance and there are few if any problems. Nevertheless, his deputies patrol the area on a regular basis.


Ali Rashid an Islamville elder. He was recruited by Gilani 25 years ago in Pakistan. He told us that Islamville is “an open community and we don’t hide anything.”


After seeing our camera, Rashid said, “I’m sure you just photographed and what you just photographed is all there is.”

Notice how the neighbors reported gun shots and other suspicious activity.

Considering the track record of Muslims in the Carolinas, I hope that the citizens of Rock Hill cast a suspect eye on this mosque; that means an account of its members and particularly who is funding it.

Senator Michael Bennet Failed to Learn from History

Senator Michael Bennet (D) Colorado held a town hall meeting Saturday, August 21 where he lamented the ineffectiveness of federal government spending:


Regarding spending during his time in office he said, “We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet” and, “in my view we have nothing to show for it.” Speaking of the debt, he said our debt almost equals the economy. Regarding the current job situation, Bennet said the situation has been dire for over a decade saying, “We have created no net new jobs in the United States since 1998” which were the last two years of the Clinton administration. Pointing to a slide showing budget expenditures, he said that currently 65 percent of the budget was for social security, Medicaid and Medicare expenditures and that we could not grow our way out of debt

Before becoming a Senator, Mr. Bennet was a superintendent of Denver public schools. The history curriculum in that city must be crap, because if the Senator had any knowledge of the recent past, he would have recognized the almost exact same admission by FDR’s treasury secretary. Here is Secretary Henry Morgenthau’s 1939 confession to the Ways and Means Committee:

We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong…somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started…And an enormous debt to boot!

It looks like the old adage is true: ‘Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it’

I guess knowledge of history is too much to ask from a former superintendent of schools. Maybe Mr. Bennet should take Secretary Morgenthau’s advice and get another job.

John McCain Wins Another Primary

John McCain handily defeated challenger J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona republican primary. The incumbent spent $20 million on his campaign, convincing Arizonans that he is no longer a "maverick" and will not impose his McAmnesty plans on his constituents. Fox News Reports:

With 97 percent of the precincts reporting early Wednesday morning, McCain led Hayworth 56 percent to 32 percent.


"I have never and will never take your support for granted, or feel I am entitled to your trust without earning it," he said.

McCain is heavily favored to win in November.

This is one of the reasons I no longer support the Republican Party.  How long will it be before McCain stabs us in the back?  He and  his toadie,  Lindsey Graham, are laughing at the suckers who are about to put him back in office, again.

Post-American President Submits Human Rights Report to U.N.

The United States first post-American president has submitted a 29 page report to the United Nations Human Rights Council. It is the first time any administration has submitted a report to this den of thieves, murderers, and oppressors. As reported by the Assoicated Press:

"Although we have made great strides, work remains to meet our goal of ensuring equality before the law for all," it said.


The report noted that although the U.S. now has an African-American president and that women and Hispanics have won greater social and economic success, large segments of American society suffer from unfair policies and practices

Yeah, like the average American who is suffering under the constant attacks by an ever grasping government; a government who looks upon the Constitution as a roll of toilet paper. The only groups of “interest” who are ensured equality before the law is Obama’s union thugs and transnationalist like George Soros.

Barack Obama just couldn’t wait to join this group of American hating council of dirt bags. The self-loathing president was looking for a forum to continue his world apology tour and flagellation of American values and principles.

The 29-page report was submitted to the Human Rights Council on Friday but was not published until Monday. Members of the council, which the United States joined only, last year, are required to submit reviews of their rights records. The report was the first "Universal Periodic Review" produced by the U.S.


In one of his first moves to reach out to the international community, President Barack Obama decided that the U.S. should run for a seat on the council. The Bush administration had shunned the panel for years over its alleged disproportionate criticism of Israel and membership that includes repressive regimes

I like the rest of the county can’t wait for Obama’s post presidency after 2012.

Coach Fired over Anti-Obama Song

A high school football coach e-mailed a song (see above) on his personal account and on his personal time to friends, family, and parents of players on his team.  He was then terminated.  The following is from Lonely Conservative:

Todd Starnes: It was co-written by a parent who has a child on the team. [Bryan] Glover, 26, said he emailed a copy of the song to friends, family members and player’s parents through his personal email account.



And that’s when all the trouble started for the self-described independent conservative.


“The coach called me and said parents were upset – that I was being politically incorrect and the song had racial overtones,” Glover told FOX News Radio. “An hour and a half later I was told I was being terminated.”


“I was informed that I was being let go because of the song,” he said, denying claims there were any racial overtones in the song.

Not only is it illegal to be a Christian in school, now you can't be a conservative.

Muslim Woman Sues Disney Over Religious Rights

A Muslim woman comes to this country, works at Disney for two years, becomes a citizen and then sues to wear her hijab. Once questioned about her motives, she proclaimed that she had a constitutional right to wear it. This woman is under contract by Disney to play a character. So to accommodate this woman, Minnie Mouse has to wear a hijab?

Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that you have a right to violate contracts in the name of religion. However, the Constitution does state under Article One, Section 10 that neither the states or congress can interfere in private contracts.

I am reminded of an article that I read in Gates of Vienna of man who visited Turkey shortly after 9/11. He went to a cafe and ordered coffee. He happened to overhear a group of young Turks discussing the aftermath of this disaster. They were openly happy about the attacks; yet, they worried about the status of their student visas to attend university in the United States. The author explained:

For the four Turks, moving to America was an act of economic survival/self-defense. Once well-established in the heartland of the Great Satan that persecutes and oppresses Muslims all over the world, it would be easier for young Turkish Muslims to destroy the enemy from within — a dream openly conveyed to the US media by Omar M Ahmad of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations): “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.

This is what we can expect from this kind of immigrant. To read the article in it's entirety click on this link:  http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2010/08/holy-father-and-turkish-incoherence.html#readfurther

Political Class Sides Against Americans on Ground Zero Mosque

Again, there is a huge disconnect between American citizens and the Political Class.  Rasmussen conducted a telephone poll and here are the results:

Now 62% oppose the building of a mosque near where the World Trade Center stood in Lower Manhattan, compared to 54% in the previous survey. Twenty-five percent (25%) favor allowing the mosque to go ahead, and 13% more are not sure.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of the Political Class, however, favor building the mosque near Ground Zero. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Mainstream voters are opposed.

Now let's take a look at the 25% who are in league with the political class.  Notice the organizations printed on the signs:

 

That's right communist and self-loathing Americans are walking hand in hand with the Jihadist.  Oh, and I've got news for you commies:  Islam is not a race.

Illegal Alien Steals I.D. to Vote in 2004 Election

This is unbelievable! An illegal alien uses a fake I.D. and stolen Social Security Number to vote in the 2004 election in Tennessee. And now Homeland Security has written a letter expunging his crime, so he can become a citizen. What kind of crazy world do we live in?

My question is why does he want to become a citizen. He doesn't have to pay taxes. He doesn't have to abide by the same rules and laws that the rest of us do. He gets free health care at the emergency room; and he gets to vote! Why become a citizen when you get all the rights and privileges that the rest of us suckers get without the burden of ownership.

I want to thank all of our elected officials, federal bureaucrats and judges who have rendered my citizenship meaningless.

A Pork Sandwich in Hand is Worth Two Muslims in a Mosque

Where is the sensitivity?  Get ready for a good laugh.

The following is from Rancor News.

Bumble Bee Ham is opening a processing plant and deli in New York just two blocks away from Ground Zero next to a new mosque. The new location will process ham to be shipped out to Bumble Bee Hams across the country and launch a new high end deli on the ground level called "Bacon." The feature item is a bacon burger made from ground bacon, topped with bacon served open faced on a bacon croissant with bacon ranch and a side of bacon sticks. This has set off a firestorm between many Americans and Muslims against so-called "bacon extremists."



Critics claim that Bumble Bee Ham is being insensitive to Muslim feelings and seeking to inflame Muslim sensibilities. Supporters swear they only wish to promote a new peaceful dialogue in Muslim/Pork relations. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the mosque was reported in the New Pork Times saying, "Most New Yorkers find the placement of Bumble Bee Ham offensive. New York is a big city. Why can't they just build somewhere else? If they really care about healing delicate wounds between Muslims and Pork they wouldn't build in a location where most New Yorkers disapprove."

A spokesman for Bumble Bee Ham responded in the New York Pork declaring, "We have no desire to inflame or insult New Yorkers by inflaming and insulting them. America stands for freedom and we fully believe in that right. Freedom doesn't include a right to decency or good taste.

Ground Zero Mosque Could Become a Pilgrimage for Jihadist

Not only will this mosque symbolize conquest, but it will become a pilgrimage for Jihadist. Just look at what happened to the 9/11 mosque in Hamburg, Germany:

“We have closed the mosque because it was a recruiting and meeting point for Islamic radicals who wanted to participate in so-called jihad or holy war,” said Frank Reschreiter, a spokesman for the Hamburg state interior ministry.

German police shut down a mosque in Hamburg on Monday which was once connected to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, saying it had links with armed Islamist groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Taiba Mosque in the port city was previously known as the Al-Quds Mosque and was once frequented by Mohammed Atta, the leader of the group that carried out the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York for Al Qaeda.

The Ground Zero Mosque could become the Mecca of the United States; a place for Muslims to contemplate and admire their handy work.

Illegal Aliens Bankrupting States

States and municipalities are under financial strains.  The cost associated with illegal aliens has run its course.  Texas has a budget short fall of $18 billion.  The cost to house and provide medical care to prisoners who are from foreign countries amounts to $250 million.

Jerry McGinty, the Texas Department of Corrections' chief financial officer, said state prisons held 11,766 offenders who are foreign citizens in July. He said it costs the state about $171 million per year to hold them, although the federal government reimburses about 10 percent of that total.

Rick Allgeyer, director of research for the Health and Human Services Commission, said illegal immigrant health care - mostly emergency hospital care - cost the state nearly $100 million last year.

The cost of educating illegals is staggering.  The following stats are from the Pew Hispanic Research study:

The U.S. Census Bureau just released 2008 figures showing the national average total per-pupil funding from all revenue sources was $12,028. Although estimates of the number of school-age children of illegal immigrants don’t separate those attending public vs. private schools, it’s reasonable to assume that nearly all attend public schools since most come from lower-income families. Therefore, if one multiplies $12,028 by the roughly 3.7 million students with illegal-immigrant parents, then one gets a national total funding cost of $44.5 billion.

The Supreme Court is responsible for the outrageous cost of educating illegals.

In 1982, the Supreme Court rules in Plyler v. Doe , 457 U.S. 202 (1982), that public schools were prohibited from denying immigrant students access to a public education. The Court stated that undocumented children have the same right to a free public education as U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Undocumented immigrant students are obligated, as are all other students, to attend school until they reach the age mandated by state law.

With this one ruling, a bunch of unelected judges who don't know the limitations of their power have cost the citizens of this country dearly; and have rendered citizenship almost meaningless.

The Obama Administration will not allow the states to enforce federal immigration laws, yet they sit idly by and watch them go bankrupt.  The federal mandates and interference in local issues has ran its course and now the states can no longer turn a blind eye to the heavy handedness of federal politicians, bureaucrats and judges.

Muslims Target Rural America

Muslims are building mega-mosque in rural America. Murfreesboro, TN has been targeted for just a site. The citizens are outraged that such a monstrosity has been approved by the city council without their knowledge.

Murfreesboro is home to 250 Muslim families. The proposed 15 acre site will provide 700 parking spaces. How big are these families? And how many cars do they have?

The Imam and a board member of this mosque have controversial backgrounds. The funding is also under suspicion.  The members refuse to disclose where the money is coming from; most likely Saudi Arabia and others places known for their radical anti-western beliefs.

Murfreesboro, TN is the buckle of the bible belt. The Muslims couldn't have picked a better place to continue their Jihad.

Barack Obama Should Have Disclaimer

Barack Obama is again compelled to bash corporations. He has an unhealthy outlook on the United States, and particularly free speech and enterprise.

It's alright if his anti-American minions place ads and hide behind shadowy 527 programs, but God forbid a corporation runs an advertisement to defend themselves against an unscrupulous politician.

Maybe Obama should have a disclaimer every time he appears on television: funded by SEIU, The Teachers Union and George Soros.


Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
August 21, 2010


As the political season heats up, Americans are already being inundated with the usual phone calls, mailings, and TV ads from campaigns all across the country. But this summer, they’re also seeing a flood of attack ads run by shadowy groups with harmless-sounding names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads and we don’t know who’s paying for them.


The reason this is happening is because of a decision by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United case – a decision that now allows big corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections. They can buy millions of dollars worth of TV ads – and worst of all, they don’t even have to reveal who is actually paying for them. You don’t know if it’s a foreign-controlled corporation. You don’t know if it’s BP. You don’t know if it’s a big insurance company or a Wall Street Bank. A group can hide behind a phony name like “Citizens for a Better Future,” even if a more accurate name would be “Corporations for Weaker Oversight.”


We tried to fix this last month. There was a proposal supported by Democrats and Republicans that would’ve required corporate political advertisers to reveal who’s funding their activities. When special interests take to the airwaves, whoever is running and funding the ad would have to appear in the advertisement and take responsibility for it – like a company’s CEO or an organization’s biggest contributor. And foreign-controlled corporations and entities would be restricted from spending money to influence American elections – just as they were in the past.


You would think that making these reforms would be a matter of common sense. You’d think that reducing corporate and even foreign influence over our elections wouldn’t be a partisan issue.


But the Republican leaders in Congress said no. In fact, they used their power to block the issue from even coming up for a vote.


This can only mean that the leaders of the other party want to keep the public in the dark. They don’t want you to know which interests are paying for the ads. The only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are people with something to hide.


Well, we cannot allow the corporate takeover of our democracy. So we’re going to continue to fight for reform and transparency. And I urge all of you to take up the same fight. Let’s challenge every elected official who benefits from these ads to defend this practice or join us in stopping it.

Rep. Barney Frank Wants to Abolish Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Barney Frank now says that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have outlived their usefulness and should now be abolished. Mr. Frank was a huge advocate of these two G.S.E.'s. In 2005, the Republicans tried to pass a bill that would regulate these agencies; Barney Frank stood in their way.

Back in September of 2003 Frank told the NY Times “These two entities – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”



Now Barney Frank is trying to exculpate his crimes by distancing himself from these two toxic agencies, even to the point of lying about his position on affordable housing:



What a lying son of a bitch.



Roger Clemens is being prosecuted for lying to Congress about his use of steroids. Why can't we prosecute Barney Frank for lying to the American people? His crimes are more devastating to the country than a juiced up ball player.

Nancy Pelosi wants to know who is funding the opposition? How's this for an answer:



I've got news for you Nancy, the American people are against this abomination. What I find disturbing is that you're not questioning the funding of the Ground Zero Mosque.

The Professional Left in the United States is following the European model. They've embraced the Islamist as an ally. Nancy Pelosi and her minions are more interested in power and control of the American people and will compromise our national security to maintain it.

This video is amazing. 1500 Hispanics were bused into Durham, North Carolina to attend the N.C. Latino State Convention.

The candidates running for political office had to use headphones because the whole proceeding was in Spanish.

Only one man stood up and said no amnesty. Only one man actually had any reverence for the laws of our land. Only one man understood that we are not Hyphenated-Americans, but just Americans.

Dr. BJ Lawson is running for N.C. District 4 of the U.S. House of Representatives. He is trying to unseat incumbent David Price who held a sign that he was for "amnesty".  With any luck, Dr. Lawson will succeed.

An Unholy Alliance Between the Professional Left and Islam

A mutual hatred of freedom and western capitalism has forged an unholy alliance between two groups: Muslims and Socialist. This alliance has existed for decades in Europe and is now blossoming in America.

The following quotes are from FrontPageMag.Com:

The union of Islam and the left is celebrated in France by Olivier Besançonneau, leader of the French Trotskyites. He said of Muslims: "Are these not the new slaves? Is it not natural they should unite with the working class to destroy the capitalist system?" The French Communist Party commissioned a study to examine the electoral potential of forging alliances with Muslim groups. Already, leftist French groups such as the Revolutionary Communist League (Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire) and Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvri ère) have allied themselves with Islamists to gain seats in the European Parliament.

Muslims find this temporary alliance advantageous. The divide and conquer strategy is a means to an end for their vision of a worldwide Caliphate:

Davis noted that in August 2002, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's deputy leader, had urged British Muslims to seek alliances among "any movement that opposes America, even atheists." Abu Hamza had said to his followers: "We say to anyone who hates the Americans and wants to throw the Jews out of Palestine - Ahlan wa Sahlan (welcome). The Prophet teaches that we could ally ourselves even with the atheists if it helps us destroy [the] enemy."

Americans are emphatically against the building of the Ground Zero Mosque. The Left and their Islamist allies counter, that those who oppose the building of this effrontery are a bunch of Islamophobes, a typical tactic to shut up the opposition:

The language of the proponents of the Black-Red Alliance is confrontational when dealing with valid criticisms of Islamists and Muslim extremists. The main term used to silence criticism is "Islamophobe." In Britain, a website has been in existence for more than a year, calling itself Islamophobia-watch. This site is run by two individuals. One is Eddie Truman, who is both a member of Britain's Communist Party and spokesman of the Scottish Socialist Party. The main writer, who describes critics of Islamist radicalism as "right-wing racists" and "Islamophobes," calls himself Martin Sullivan. His real identity is Bob Pitt, the formerly secretary of the Workers Revolutionary Party



Hopefully the Professional Left and their Islamist allies will not have the same success in the United States as they have had in Europe.

Tea Party Movie Trailer

Rise Up: A Song from the Tea Party Movie

Governor Beverly Perdue Sponsors Incestuous Fund Raiser

North Carolina’s Governor Beverly Perdue sponsored a fund raiser for the Democratic Governors Association. The event raised $1.2 million dollars, the largest amount collected by this so-called non-profit group.

The Charlotte Observer reports:

The gathering at Cary’s Umstead Hotel and Spa on April 6 and 7, was both a fund-raiser and a “regional policy conference” held by the Democratic Governors Association.


The Washington based association, whose purpose is to elect Democratic state chief executives, raises money around the country by holding fundraisers that also double as policy conferences. The group is helping raise money in 37 races for governor this year.

Governor Perdue called regional corporations, many who have their hands in state and federal taxpayer coffers. The following companies attended:

Duke Energy: Donated $100,000
AT&T: Donated $100,000
CSX: Donated $35,000
Bank of America: Donated $10,000
Wells Fargo: Donated $25,000
Time Warner Cable: Donated $10,000
:
All of the above companies have received TARP or Stimulus money; or have designs on targeted state sponsored programs.



Here are some other state sponsored companies who also contributed; again reported by the Charlotte Observer:

Policy Studies Inc. of Denver, Colo., which has won a total of $1.6 million in state contracts for child enforcement dating back to 2004, gave $25,000.


At a time when Perdue has been pushing for more tax paid incentives to make more movies in North Carolina, the Motion Picture Association of America, based in Encino, California contributed $15,000.

Also contributing were law firms that do lobbying, such as McGuire Woods PAC of Richmond, VA., which gave $10,000.

I thought there was a law against incest; apparently not in politics.

Reps. Larry Kissell and John Spratt are Hiding from Voters

Reps. Larry Kissell of N.C. 8th District and John Spratt of S.C. 5th District voted to bailout the Democratic Party's biggest supporters:  the Teacher's Union.  H.R. 1586 passed with 245 democrats and 2 republicans in the affirmative.

This bill is shameless in that the taxpayers are indirectly funding the democratic campaign coffers for the fall election.  The Teacher's Union is a notoriously leftist organization and a big contributor to the Democratic Party.

The one group of people who are going to suffer is the poor.  Over 41 million Americans depend on food stamps.  H.R. 1586 takes $10 billion from this program and redirects it to the unions.

In the meantime both Kissell and Spratt are hiding from their constituents.  They've not scheduled any townhall meetings in the summer recess.  With their voting records, I wouldn't want to face the "angry mob" either.

When I Say Alvin Greene, You say Indicted

South Carolina's Democratic Senate nominee, Alvin Greene was indicted today for felony pornography charges. Mr. Greene allegedly showed pornographic images on a computer to a college student in November of last year. USA Today reports:

A grand jury in Richland County, S.C., indicted Greene on one felony charge of disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity as well as a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent, according to a statement from the county solicitor's office.

Mr. Greene won 59% of the vote in the Democratic primary without campaigning or raising money. Rep. Jim Clyburn threw a tantrum; accusing Mr. Greene of being a GOP plant. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division checked out Mr. Greene's filing fee of $10,000. The proceeds came from his military exit pay and a tax refund.

It's getting to the point that to have any "creds" in the Democratic Party you have to be a felon or an accused felon. Alvin Greene is in good company. Maybe he can share a cell with Maxine Waters and Charlie Rangle.

Overt Profanity and Racism at NAACP Rally

Knee Deep in Anchor Babies

The Pew Hispanic Center released a study where it showed that 1 out of 15 babies born in the United States had at least one parent who was illegal. The report is based on the 2009 Census Bureau estimates. Pew also calculated that 7.9% of all babies born in the United States in 2008 were the offspring of illegals.

This is a serious problem and the Border States are the front lines of this massive migration from the third world. The Dallas Morning News reported:

Still, the debate could resonate in Texas, where not only 1.5 million illegal immigrants are estimated to reside but at least 60,000 babies are added to their households annually.


Parkland Memorial Hospital delivers more of those babies than any other hospital in the state. Last year at Parkland, 11,071 babies were born to women who were noncitizens, about 74 percent of total deliveries. Most of these women are believed to be in the country illegally

They also reported:

In Texas, between 60,000 to 65,000 babies achieve U.S. citizenship annually by being born in the state's hospitals, according to a tally released by the state's Health and Human Services Commission. Last year, such births represented almost 16 percent of the total births statewide.


Between 2001 and 2009, births to illegal immigrant women totaled 542,152 in Texas alone.

The 14th Amendment was never meant for foreigners to come over and drop their anchor babies. This is what happens when you have activist judges making law, instead of interpreting law.

Democrats Starve the Poor to Feed Teachers Union

House Democrats passed a 26 billion dollar bill last Tuesday. They are plundering the treasury to support one of their faithful voting blocs: the teachers union. The teachers union and their campaign donations are so important to the democrats that they are willing to starve the poor.

The bill that has no name strips $12 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps. The United States currently has 41 million Americans who depend on this program; and with the nation’s economic malaise, is expanding at a rapid rate. FoxNews.com and the Associated Press reported the following:

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture figures, the number of people on the food stamp rolls has been growing to record levels for 18 straight months. Nearly $5.5 billion in aid went out to beneficiaries in May alone. The number of May recipients marked a 19 percent increase from a year ago and the USDA projects that next year's enrollment will reach about 43.4 million.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R) Wisconsin stated that Democrats are robbing states that have been fiscally responsible:

"It is basically taxpayers from fiscally (responsible) states bailing out fiscally irresponsible states. ... Medicaid funding, teacher funding, the more popular of the public unions, what this is, it's a bailout to prevent states from doing the necessary spending prioritization that they need do," he said.

The Democrats have thrown grandma and the little children under the bus. They would rather starve the poor, than let their precious union members go without. This is another teachable moment for all Americans.

Singing the National Anthem is Deemed an Illegal Demonstration

So now it is against the law to sing the National Anthem at the Lincoln Memorial?

A group of students from the Young Americans Foundation spontaneously broke out into song, when a park ranger told them to shut up. Apparently singing the National Anthem is considered an illegal demonstration.

What is our country coming to when displays of patriotism is considered an illegal act?

Give the students credit. They participated in a time honored American activity: civil disobedience. They sang the Star Spangled Banner anyway.

Paul Krugman's Nanny Stater Blues

Paul Krugman wrote an op-ed piece in which he bemoaned the lack of federal funding for education and infrastructure projects. He believes that increasing taxes on the richest 2 percent would cure the country’s economic malaise; yet he acknowledges that the Stimulus Bill had virtually no effect at all:

That is, for all of a failed stimulus, if you look at government spending now trailing off, while big state and local cutbacks continue, we’re going into reverse.

But isn’t keeping taxes for the affluent low also a form of stimulus? Not so you’d notice. When we save a schoolteachers job, that unambiguously aids employment; when we give millionaires more money instead, there’s a good chance that most of that money will just sit idle.

How are you giving millionaires more money? Do you mean by letting them keep what they earn? Notice how Mr. Krugman feels entitled to other people’s wealth by dictating what they can have and keep. He also seems to believe that millionaires hide their money under mattresses, how else could that mountain of cash sit idle.

Paul Krugman doesn’t like the anti-government tone that is pervasive throughout the country:

How did we get to this point? It’s the logical consequences of three decades of anti-government rhetoric that has convinced many voters that a dollar collected in taxes is always a dollar wasted, that the public sector can’t do anything right.

If that were true the morons in congress wouldn’t have went on an unprecedented spending spree that alienated there constituents. Either they’re tone deaf or just plain arrogant. Which is it? Krugman goes on further:

The anti-government campaign has always been phrased in terms of opposition to waste and fraud – to checks sent to welfare queens driving Cadillacs, to vast armies of bureaucrats uselessly pushing paper around. But those were myths; there was never remotely as much waste and fraud as the right claimed.

Really? United Van Lines published its annual migration study. The District of Columbia ranked as the #1 destination for the second year in a row:


MOVING IN

In 2009, the District of Columbia (67.8%) maintained its reign as the top destination in the United States for the second year in a row. While North Carolina (55.4%) was the only other Mid-Atlantic state to experience high-inbound growth, the state did fall in the migration study rankings, from the No. 3 high-inbound ranking in 2008 to the No. 10 spot in 2009

The Washington Times reported that the federal government will have an all time high payroll:

Obama administration says the government will grow to 2.15 million employees this year, topping 2 million for the first time since President Clinton declared that "the era of big government is over" and joined forces with a Republican-led Congress in the 1990s to pare back the federal work force.

That doesn’t sound like an army of bureaucrats to you, Mr. Krugman?

Paul Krugman is one of these big government nanny staters who don’t believe in the self-determination of States and local governments. He instead would rather have us send our money to Washington D.C. so that a pencil pusher can tell us what to do; then send it back to us with a huge cut taken out so as to support the monstrous bureaucracy that leeches off of us.

The State of Indiana seems to have found the cure for today’s economic hard times and they sure as hell didn’t take the advice of people like Paul Krugman.

Bad Economy Responsible for Xenophobia?

I guess the death of thousands of Americans by Jihadist had nothing to do with the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque. And I suppose the number of honor killings taking place around the country have nothing to do about the apprehension of this so-called religion; or the fact that Christians can't handout leaflets on the streets of Dearborn, Michigan without fear of arrest.

As for the illegals coming across our southern border, we were against that when the economy was doing well. This guy is just another talking head; spouting out a bunch of nonsense that only liberals can appreciate.

Tick Tock, Simpleton -- Only Three Short Months to Go

I found this on Dewey from Detroit blog. It seems that Michiganders are awakening to the 'Great Betrayal' by Democratic politicians and their union leaders. We can only hope.

Syoung809132001: The Voice of the People

Neoneocon found this commenter’s cri du Coeur deep inside the Washington Post’s long stream of comments castigating the Journolist quislings it still keeps on the payroll. I've corrected the spelling and punctuation and added paragraphing for pacing. Otherwise I have changed "Syoung809132001" words not one whit.

These words are long, strong, worth reading and absorbing. This is Whitman’s “barbaric yawp sounded over the roofs of the world.” This is an American Citizen speaking, and it is the sound and sign of Democracy awakened. It is the voice of the people betrayed:

I urge the new Republicans who are now running to reach out to the unions. We are weary. We know we are a big part of the problem and we are ready to compromise and work together.

Hell, I used to buy all of the spin. I am guilty of doing too little research and just toeing the party line because I was too busy. I’ve got plenty of time now. I’ve got plenty of will now. To say I regret all of the above doesn’t do it justice.

However, as a penance for the error of my ways, I am willing to take any kind of pay cut, benefit cut, furlough, whatever just to be able to feed my family and not have to worry about the bills and the roof over our heads. I am willing to cut whatever corners are necessary, learn whatever new skill is required to just get people working again.

If I never have to hear the words GREEN JOBS from my governor’s mouth again I would fall on my knees in gratitude. Fancy ideas, cotton candy spun dreams do not materialize into real paying jobs.

Our entire state of Michigan was sacrificed to the green job pie in the sky promise. Michigan now resembles a third world country. Whatever it takes, with whatever party candidate who has a realistic, adult answer will get our union votes.

The rose colored glasses are gone, I am turning accusing eyes at my so called “advocates” and I am bringing a hell of a lot of people with me.

I am an adult. Speak to me as an adult. Do not whine and point a finger of blame at a minority party for your own failure. ADULTS admit when they have made a mistake.

It is becoming clear to me who the irresponsible children are who go on a crazy “who cares” spending spree, and then become irritated when the people aren’t appreciative of their irresponsibility. And it is apparent who the adults are who are standing up screaming: “NO! STOP! YOU IDIOTS!” We will soon see which side the majority of the electorate is on.

I only regret I have one vote to cast. It is a dog eat dog world out there and the Democrat party wrote their own obituary with their utter foolishness. I played a part in that foolishness. I regret it utterly, but thankfully a tragic and deep lesson has been learned. If nothing else, I am grateful to be awake, thinking on my own, and seeing the light for the first time. It is a miniscule silver lining to a very dark cloud.

And here is the same commenter again, a bit earlier (at 11:53:50 AM on the same day, addressing the author of the article where he’s commenting, Ezra Klein who, in his callow way is trying to convince all and sundry that the recession is over and happy days are here again):

This is really pathetic, how old is Ezra Klein?

PLEASE be sure to head over to Michigan’s ghost towns, boarded up shops, and empty parking lots. See the lines teeming at the unemployment offices. See people lined up for food stamps and tell all of those people that the “slow recovery is right on schedule.”

What a complete and out of touch idiot -- one of many tone deaf, over confident fools that seem to make up our media nowadays; the same media who will be stunned speechless when the auto workers of this country turn on the Democratic party, and either vote Republican as a protest, or don’t even show up to vote at all.

We are everywhere in this country, but mostly we are in the blue states. We are beyond fed up with promises. We are beyond fed up with being taken for granted by our non-representing representatives. And we are determined to make a deafening exclamation point at the ballot box on Nov.2.
After being unemployed for nearly two years, I am over the blame game of GOP versus DEM. Who in the heck cares?

It is clearly obvious that NEITHER party has the answer. I am game to vote in someone who has EXPERIENCE RUNNING A BUSINESS, has never served in Congress, isn’t reading a speech off of a teleprompter that someone else wrote, and doesn’t REEK of the stench of corruption.

Maybe that person will rise above the pettiness -- “They are the party of no-wah - we only have a supermajority” -- and for a change do something that WORKS!

I have been a Democrat all of my life. I am a union worker in a generation of union workers. My entire family are union workers. We are all Democrats. Not a one of us has even the slightest problem voting against the democratic party, The democratic party doesn’t exist anymore. We don’t recognize it, we don’t like it, we don’t buy what they’re selling and very soon WE will be giving THEM a pink slip.

And then this, today, in response to the craven Matt Yglesias’ evil and overwhelmingly dense Welcome to the summer of fear .

Pure and utter drivel, Sir.

Let me see if I get this straight: If I disagree IN ANY WAY with the Obama administration, I am either a racist (courtesy of the black caucus), a xenaphobe. (According to Mayor Bloomberg and the other reptilious NY politicians), simply too stupid to understand the complexity of the issue (repeat that again, Reid or Joe Biden?).

This is absolutely hilarious and speaks of a "high schooly" clique of "group think."

Let us come up with a new word that will be in much use come Novemember 2, 2010: OBLITERATION,

We will look back at that once vaunted political party inappropriately named "Democrat" and tsk-tsk while shaking our heads in wonder at the sheer buffoonery of a man with the spine of a ham sandwich for a president; a senate majority leader who single handedly bankrupted his own state of jobs, evicted a huge swath of his constituents with his rubberstamping of an agenda of failed fiscal policies and socialist ideals the country rejected; a speaker of the house so universally loathed that her approval ratings seldom make it out of the teens, a woman who spends taxpayer money like water on libations, flights, bon bons and God knows what else for her friends and family; a congress that acts like pompous sniveling pantywaists worthy of the court at Versailles. Add to them a media with yearlings such as Klein who can't be more than a score and 5 years old; Krugman who is so rabid that only the most lack-wit lemmings put any credence into his overly inflated tripe, and the estimable Dionne, who can be depended on to toss out the race card on, at the very least, a weekly basis.

We will point out a wax doll in a museum of the species titled "Democrat", chuckle to our children, and say, "Child, THIS is what happens to those who underestimate the American people. Should you grow up and try such folly, you too, will one day be an oddity, to be pointed at, mocked, and thoroughly despised as well."

DEAREST Matt, I recall your name on the JOURNOLIST. Please do get back to your partners in crime at the new, but not improved CABALIST, and relay our fondest wishes and the unfortunate news that the gig is up. One has that most fabulous invention called the Internet, where we can do the most amazing trick. We can go from blog to blog, or to this site called Real Clear politics, where we can read 20 articles from different papers AND see the JOURNOLIST talking points in each one, and who the constant repeat offenders are.
