RUSH: All right, some people in the e-mail have taken exception with my description of Obama as "lawless" and acting outside the Constitution. Let me share with you a quote, and this is from a video. It might have been from yesterday out in Ohio, but it's within the past couple days. Obama said, "When Congress refuses to act -- and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk -- then I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them." He got applause. "I have an obligation to act on behalf of the American people. I'm not going to stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people that we elected to serve. Not with so much at stake, not at this make-or-break moment for middle class Americans. We're not gonna let that happen." [Read the rest here...]
WHOS AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD BILDERBERG
It seems that whenever I point out that a true conservative is not ever likely to win the presidency in a country that is only slightly right of the middle, I can count on hearing from people who regard RINOs as worse than Obama, worse than Pelosi, Reid and Waxman, and even worse than jihadists.
They are sure to let me know that Ron Paul is the only true patriot in the running. When I point out that in 2008 when he was well-financed and only had to worry about McCain and Romney, Rep. Paul couldn’t win a single Republican primary. How in the world did anyone think that he would ever win a presidential election when, for reasons I don’t really understand, they permit Democrats to vote?

Why is this okay.... and this isn't?
Keeping Students From the Polls
(sent by David...)Next fall, thousands of students on college campuses will attempt to register to vote and be turned away. Sorry, they will hear, you have an out-of-state driver's license. Sorry, your college ID is not valid here. Sorry, we found out that you paid out-of-state tuition, so even though you do have a state driver's license, you still can't vote.
Political leaders should be encouraging young adults to participate in civic life, but many Republican state lawmakers are doing everything they can instead to prevent students from voting in the 2012 presidential election. Some have openly acknowledged doing so because students tend to be liberal.
Seven states have already passed strict laws requiring a government-issued ID (like a driver's license or a passport) to vote, which many students don't have, and 27 others are considering such measures. Many of those laws have been interpreted as prohibiting out-of-state driver's licenses from being used for voting.
It's all part of a widespread Republican effort to restrict the voting rights of demographic groups that tend to vote Democratic. Blacks, Hispanics, the poor and the young, who are more likely to support President Obama, are disproportionately represented in the 21 million people without government IDs. On Friday, the Justice Department, finally taking action against these abuses, blocked the new voter ID law in South Carolina.
Republicans usually don't want to acknowledge that their purpose is to turn away voters, especially when race is involved, so they invented an explanation, claiming that stricter ID laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud. In fact, there is almost no voter fraud in America to prevent.
William O'Brien, the speaker of the New Hampshire State House, told a Tea Party group earlier this year that students are "foolish” and tend to "vote their feelings” because they lack life experience. "Voting as a liberal,” he said, "that's what kids do.” And that's why, he said, he supported measures to prohibit students from voting from their college addresses and to end same-day registration. New Hampshire Republicans even tried to pass a bill that would have kept students who previously lived elsewhere from voting in the state; fortunately, the measure failed, as did the others Mr. O'Brien favored.
Many students have taken advantage of Election Day registration laws, which is one reason Maine Republicans passed a law eliminating the practice. Voters restored it last month, but Republican lawmakers there are already trying new ways to restrict voting. The secretary of state said he was investigating students who are registered to vote in the state but pay out-of-state tuition.
Wisconsin once made it easy for students to vote, making it one of the leading states in turnout of younger voters in 2004 and 2008. When Republicans swept into power there last year, they undid all of that, imposing requirements that invalidated the use of virtually all college ID cards in voter registration. Colleges are scrambling to change their cards to add signatures and expiration dates, but it's not clear whether the state will let them.
Imposing these restrictions to win an election will embitter a generation of students in its first encounter with the machinery of democracy.
What! Another Resolution?
Rabbi Daniel Lapin's THOUGHT TOOLS
January 4, 2012
Want to lose weight? Me too. And so did 84 female housekeepers in seven different hotels who typically clean fifteen rooms a day. They were measured for physiological health variables affected by exercise and then two Harvard University psychologists informed half the women (untruthfully) that their daily work alone constituted enough exercise to make them lose weight and keep healthy.
In 2007, Psychological Science reported that those in the informed group lost weight, lowered their blood pressure, and had significantly healthier body-fat percentage, body mass index, and waist-to-hip ratio while the others had no changes.
What you believe can make your body do amazing things.
Making resolutions is easier than keeping them but how do we increase the likelihood of keeping them all year and really achieving meaningful results? There is much useful advice to be found, but here is one spiritual key to keeping your New Year resolutions.
Generally, when are you most likely to keep your word? Often, the answer depends on how much you value the person to whom you make the promise.[Read the rest here...]
GROUNDHOG DAY 2012
In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.
This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.

WSB-TV is a ABC affiliate in Atlanta, GA. Any one think this is a great program from OUR STATE DEPARTMENT?Starting the new year out right

"Black folk don't know how to run no nation"
This preacher's passion is awesome. A very interesting 6 minutes. Black preacher understands. "Black folk don't know how to run no nation". This video will shock South African people....wmv?? - YouTubeWe finally made it today folks. And a month and a half early. Our debt went over 15 Trillion today.
Has anyone calculated how much of it is their share yet?
One comment in this illustration sort of puts the government spending in focus: If you spent a million dollars a day every day since the birth of Jesus, you wouldn't have yet spent one trillion.
You would have spent about the same amount that was given to the banks during the great bailout. We all see how much that helped the economy.
This is another version of an old favorite. Never fails to appall and amaze me.
One Hundred Dollars
$100 - Most counterfeited money denomination in the world. Keeps the world moving.
Ten Thousand Dollars
$10,000 - Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car. Approximately one year of work for the average human on earth.
One Million Dollars
$1,000,000 - Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh? Still this is 92 years of work for the average human on earth.
One Hundred Million Dollars
$100,000,000 - Plenty to go around for everyone. Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized pallet.
One Billion Dollars
$1,000,000,000 - You will need some help when robbing the bank. Now we are getting serious!
One Trillion Dollars
$1,000,000,000,000
When the U.S. government speaks about a 1.7 trillion deficit - this is the volume of cash the U.S. Government borrowed in 2010 to run itself.
Keep in mind it is double stacked pallets of $100 million dollars each, full of $100 dollar bills. You are going to need a lot of trucks to freight this around.
If you spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, you would have not spent $1 trillion by now...but ~$700 billion - same amount the banks got during bailout.
One Trillion Dollars
Description: 342a8da.jpgComparison of $1,000,000,000,000 dollars to a standard-sized American Football field and European Football field. Say hello to the Boeing 747-400 transcontinental airliner that's hiding on the right. This was until recently the biggest passenger plane in the world.
15 Trillion Dollars
$15,000,000,000,000 - Unless the U.S. government fixes the budget, US national debt (credit bill) will top 15 trillion by Christmas 2011.
Statue of Liberty seems rather worried as United States national debt passes 20% of the entire world's combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product). In 2011 the National Debt will exceed 100% of GDP, and venture into the 100%+ debt-to-GDP ratio that the European PIIGS have (bankrupting nations).
114.5 Trillion Dollars
$114,500,000,000,000. - US unfunded liabilities
To the right you can see the pillar of cold hard $100 bills that dwarfs the WTC & Empire State Building - both at one point world's tallest buildings. If you look carefully you can see the Statue of Liberty.
The 114.5 Trillion dollar super-skyscraper is the amount of money the U.S. Government knows it does not have to fully fund the Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, Military and civil servant pensions. It is the money USA knows it will not have to pay all its bills.
If you live in USA this is also your personal credit card bill; you are responsible along with everyone else to pay this back. The citizens of USA created the U.S. Government to serve them, this is what the U.S. Government has done while serving The People.
The unfunded liability is calculated on current tax and funding inputs, and future demographic shifts in US Population.
Note: On the above 114.5T image the size of the base of the money pile is half a trillion, not 1T as on 15T image. The height is double. This was done to reflect the base of Empire State and WTC more closely.

How the Stimulus really works:
"THREE CONTRACTORS"
Three contractors, one from Chicago , another from Tennessee , and the third from Montana , are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The contractor from Montana takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900, $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700, $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Chicago contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
"Done!" replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government Stimulus plan has been working out all over the states......
Looking Back on 30 Years
A 'Thank you' to Dennis Prager for sharing this on his program today. One cannot get further to left and be on the Left of Norman Lear. This is someone who speaks for Liberals and Democrats, and, I'm afraid, for many of our friends, family and neighbors.
One of the highlights of the speech:
NORMAN LEAR: I want to suggest we lefties start laying claim to what we see as "sacred" -- and serve it up proudly to the Religious Right -- to the James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Karl Rove hate-mongers, sheathed in sanctity -- and to the Koch Brother types that fund them -- and use them so effectively for their own political power-grabbing purposes!
Over the past several decades, the power-grabbing right has built a powerful infrastructure of radio and TV networks. They've built think tanks, colleges and law schools. And funded political groups that prepped the way for the Supreme Court, in Citizen's United -- to grant Corporations the right to provide any amount of financial backing to a candidate or a cause just like any other average citizen. And all of it carried off with an air of holier-than-thou sanctity -- no less apparent than Pat Robertson's when he told me my arms were too short to box with God.[Read the rest here...]
Time to choose, again
We Conservatives don't have everyone in the 2012 presidential race that we wanted, but we have an interesting slate of would-be president candidates.Glenn Beck has done a yeoman's job of giving listeners plenty of audio on most of the candidates and that's helped me whittle my list down to a manageable - yet terrifying - few.
Gingrich has my respect as an intellectual and a man who can articulate his positions. His experience is varied, his life has had its ups-and-downs (whose hasn't?) but he has been consistent in his ability to put the nonintellectual and the inarticulate in their place. I love to learn but I hate being shown up as stupid. Trouble is, though, Newt is a big government Progressive and his idea of the best 20th century president was FDR.

When will the 'news' people learn that Americans don't need to be talked down to all the time? They don't need to use the common colloquialisms just show they're cool. Calling the president a bad name on TV is another sign of Dennis Prager's "coarsening of America."

New name, same position: OIC still anti-anti Islam speak.
I admit it, I'm not always easy to get along with - and it's becoming worse: I have next-to-zero patience for people who 'speak' with the authority of one who knows it all but when you challenge them, they have nothing to offer but the "Oh, yeah! So's your mother!" defense.
It all started yesterday when I read a series of Facebook comments that ticked me off. I replied sarcastically, impuning the common sense of the guy who had these guys as 'Friends' in the first place, and it was then suggested that if I didn't like these men's comments - his dear friends for a long time - I could 'Unfriend' myself.
At first I felt badly, but then, with further thought, I realized that a grown man shouldn't sound like a teenage girl, so sensitive, so PMS'ing, that me thinks he agrees with them in their assessment of presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and Republicans in general.
I'm okay hanging out with people I disagree with - it's our God-given right to disagree on any number of points and still agree on the overall conservative political philosophy - but I cannot tolerate the intolerance of intolerant.
Before I 'Unfriended' myself from these kids, I should have captured the entire conversation thread, but since I didn't, I have only my residual irritation to go on. I did, however, save the emails in which one of the challengers offered me a web site to confirm his accusations about Mrs. Bachmann. Here it is: http://www.facebook.com/l/a71de/www.ontheissues.org/Michele_Bachmann.htm. I found only one or two items where Congresswoman Bachmann and I disagree.
We Tea Partiers are not one color, one voting block and will never agree on all issues, but we should be allowed to defend our individual positions without being kicked out of the club. I'm a Republican, an unrepentent Republican who became wholly Republican once I understood how 'conservative' I am. I wrote once that "true Republicans should be Tea Partiers." I stand by that.

MSNBC Host: If There Is Civil Unrest Because of Unemployment It's Totally the GOP's Fault
From friend, Richard:
A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.' They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.
As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.' White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President - It is believed that another Nobel Prize will follow.

Israel: Hizballah has 50,000 rockets in its arsenal
'Arab Spring' Excuse for Iran to Take Over
Tuesday, 17 May 2011 07:49 AMBy Ben Stein
I am going to tell you the truth about the so-called "Arab spring": First, the "Arab spring" as a force for democracy and peace in Egypt seems to me to be a fraud.
The dictator and his entourage who were kicked out in Egypt were pro-West, a bit restrained on Israel, open to free enterprise, and resistant to Iranian-sponsored terror.
Now what? Egypt is now rapidly becoming anti-Israel, pro-Iran, pro Hamas, and very far from being pro-human rights.
The most potent of the political forces in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, hates the United States, loathes Israel, condemns the killing of bin Laden (whom they praised as a martyr), and have been wedded to terror for their entire existence.
They will probably take over Egypt completely sooner or later.
And as the terrorist government of Syria cracks down on its own people, the U.N. Security Council does exactly nothing about it.
When the dust settles, Iran is going to own the Middle East. There is a gigantic coup by Iran taking place. We are doing very little, if anything, to stop it. copywrite Newsmax. All rights reserved. From CAN: The Christian Action Network has acquired four more recordings of gunfire coming from "Holy Islamville" in York County, S.C. just as the Herald Online published a puff piece heaping praise upon the group for its stance against terrorism and Osama Bin Laden while ignoring its own extremist ties.
On May 4, the Herald Online published an article titled "With Bin Laden Dead, York Co. Muslims Repulsed by His Violence Seek New Beginning." It quotes several of those living at Holy Islamville as rejoicing over the death of Bin Laden and condemning the Al-Qaeda leader.
"Bin Laden was no Muslim. He was just an evil person. He made it so hard on us," says the owner of a convenience store. Another said "Bin Laden did not follow the teachings of Islam."
"These people are electrical engineers and carpenters, store managers and retired educators, students and barbers. They are our neighbors. They are Muslims," the author, Andrew Dys, wrote. [Read the rest here.]
"Thanking Obama for killing Bin Laden is like going into McDonalds and thanking Ronald McDonald for the hamburger.
It's the guy cooking the burger that should get the credit, not the clown." Hats off to Glenn Beck for giving even the most reserved of us a chance to really celebrate the killing of one of this century's most wanted killers. Beck brought in a marching band, handed out chocolate chip cookies, tossed confetti in the air and added balloons. It's too bad that more Americans don't know how or don't believe it's right to celebrate when evil meets death. Too many years of apologizing.... apologizing for what? Apologizing for having enemies? Who doesn't have enemies? And what's wrong with having enemies, anyway? I have enemies, and when I think about them, I wouldn't want them dead but I would want them to suffer on the same level they have made me suffer. It's justice. It's only justice that separates Man from the other beasts. Man has to make judgments; it's the price we pay for our bigger brains and cable TV. From our Westshore Tea Party...

The destiny, the greatness of America lies around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry are taught there, and the example of self-sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there, and high ideals, if there the building of fortune be subordinate to the building of character, America will live in security, rejoicing in an abundant prosperity and good government at home and in peace, respect, and confidence abroad. If these virtues be absent there is no power that can supply these blessings. Look well then to the hearthstone, therein all hope for America lies." "An ideology which kills so many innocent people" to me that sounds as if it refers to the similar to the governments who invaded Iraq. Innocents killed by Taliban and Al Qaeda: An estimated 15,000 Innocents killed by the USA and her allies in Iraq alone: Excess of 100,000.
I am pleased that your nation did not degrade him; however you have still condemned Osama as a murderer, then proceeded to kill him. There is an illogic to that very argument. There were 40 US Navy Seals when he was killed, what prevented them from taking him alive? Why didn't they use flashbangs? Why wasn't he trialed at the ICC? Osama has had a great injustice done unto him.[Read the rest here....] Dear Tea Party/912 People,
"National Review Online" published an article by Robert Zubrin, an aerospace engineer, president of Pioneer Astronautics and author of Energy Victory: Winning the War of Terror by Breaking Free of Oil.
Once you get past the opening of the article ("The problem is the cartel, not the "price gouging") you'll see a graphical history of OPEC and its oil production and the price of barrels of oil from 1973 through 2010.
Mr. Zubrin has an intriguing idea that just might work for a country that's struggling with its debt, its falling currency, its unabashedly obstructionist/progressive president and a gaggle of voters who have only a few more clues than this same president. Here's the article and I encourage you to read it all (or at least study the pictures) and then see if the same idea dawns on you, too:[Read the rest here...] The problem is the cartel, not the "price gouging." When faced with an issue of grave concern to the public, a politician has two choices. He can try to solve the problem. That would be the course of a true statesman. Alternatively, however, he can take the path of the demagogue, and seek to exploit the problem by blaming it on scapegoats among or linked to his political adversaries.
In the case of the current energy crisis, President Obama has chosen the second path.
Responding to public concern over sharply rising gasoline prices, President Obama announced last week that he was asking Attorney General Eric Holder to launch a criminal investigation of price gouging by oil companies, refiners, and gas stations. Such posturing is so absurd as to exceed the capacity of satire. The reason gasoline prices are up is that the price of crude oil is up. There is not only a direct correlation between the two, but a causal relationship: The primary cost of producing gasoline is the cost of the oil from which it is refined. It is impossible to make cheap gasoline from expensive oil. To launch a witch hunt against gasoline providers for high price at the pump when oil is selling for $110 per barrel is a truly amazing political stunt.[Read the rest here...] New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's nomination of Sohail Mohammed to be a state judge shows the governor's tin ear for radical Islam. Not only did he appoint a longtime mouthpiece for radical Islamists to be a judge, but Christie has also turned a blind eye to the activities of one of Mohammed's clients – radical imam Mohammed Qatanani, head of one of New Jersey's largest mosques. Qatanani has a history of Hamas support and was related by marriage to a leading Hamas operative in the West Bank. This fall, Qatanani will return to a New Jersey immigration court, where the Department of Homeland Security is fighting to have him deported. In his initial application for a green card filed in 1999, government lawyers say Qatanani failed to disclose a conviction in an Israeli military court for being a Hamas member and providing support to the terrorist group. Oddly, Christie - a Republican who was then the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey - sided with Qatanani against DHS, allowing a top lieutenant, Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles McKenna, to testify as a character witness at Qatanani's first immigration trial, and publicly embracing the imam at a Ramadan breakfast at his mosque.

He wrote that the president must stand firm backing the Syrian people in their fight against the repressive regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, which has been using his army to kill innocent demonstrators. "U.S. President Barack Obama needs to make clear whose side America is on, back up our rhetoric with action, and clearly articulate why Syria matters to the United States," Rubio said. [Read more...] LAS VEGAS - Real estate developer Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of profanity in a speech at a boisterous Las Vegas casino as he assured a crowd of adoring supporters Thursday night that he is seriously weighing a presidential run and will make a decision soon. During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation's leaders.
"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," he said. "It's just very, very sad." Oh, wait... there is a gaggle of Americans that is so unserious about our country's problems as to listen to Donald Trump for no other reason than he IS the "Donald." Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's response to the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority's peace deal with Hamas would be funny if it weren't tragic. Immediately after the news broke of the deal Netanyahu announced, "The PA must choose either peace with Israel or peace with Hamas. There is no possibility for peace with both." Netanyahu's statement is funny because it is completely absurd. The PA has chosen. The PA made the choice in 2000 when it rejected Israel's offer of peace and Palestinian statehood and joined forces with Hamas to wage a terror war against Israel.
The PA made the choice in 2005 again when it responded to Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza with a tenfold increase in the number of rockets and missiles it fired on Israeli civilian targets in the Negev.

HoloCartoons.com, an antisemitic Iranian website launched in August 2010, aims to mock and denigrate the Holocaust, on the premise that these events were completely fabricated by the Jews for their own nefarious purposes. A visitor to the website, which has pages in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Farsi, is greeted by the Pink Panther theme music, and informed that it is dedicated to those killed "under the pretext of the Holocaust." It features an e-book, "HoloCartoons," the preface to which reads, in part: "This book tends to denounce the conspicuous lie of the 'plan[n]ed murder of 6 million Jews during the Second World War' allegedly called 'Holocaust.' The lie that is so obvious that there is no need for any further explanation." [Read more...]

The Obama Doctrine: Leading from Behind
A foreign policy of hesitation, delay, and indecision.
Obama may be moving toward something resembling a doctrine. One of his advisers described the president's actions in Libya as "leading from behind."
- Ryan Lizza, The New Yorker, May 2 issue
To be precise, leading from behind is a style, not a doctrine. Doctrines involve ideas, but since there are no discernible ones that make sense of Obama's foreign policy - Lizza's painstaking two-year chronicle shows it to be as ad hoc, erratic, and confused as it appears - this will have to do.
And it surely is an accurate description, from President Obama's shocking passivity during Iran's 2009 Green Revolution to his dithering on Libya - acting at the very last moment, then handing off to a bickering coalition, yielding the current bloody stalemate. It's been a foreign policy of hesitation, delay, and indecision, marked by plaintive appeals to the (fictional) "international community" to do what only America can.
But underlying that style, assures this Obama adviser, there really are ideas. Indeed, "two unspoken beliefs," explains Lizza. "That the relative power of the U.S. is declining, as rivals like China rise, and that the U.S. is reviled in many parts of the world." [Read the rest here.]
Let me give a view from the inside.
[From a fellow Tea Partier...]To continue to receive coverage of a union program that I have paid into for 24 years I have to “donate” $50.00 to the campaign to recall SB 5. AND if they need more they will be back.
-Government unions get employees paid:
-Overtime not to work
-To go to union meetings
-Shop for the union vending machine
-Clean the union office
-Paid to work on levy campaigns to raise your taxes to give them more money
-Cars to use for personal use
-Cars to work part time jobs
-1% raise per year just for not getting fired
-If you work hard you get more work. If you do bad work you still get
paid, in some cases you are hid with a promotion and better days off.
-Up to 8 weeks vacation
-5 personal days
-1.5 sick days a Month
-In the halls they talk about how great a job they are and how the public
loves them and how they DESERVE MORE.
-The waste is tremendous. I can hardly wait to see how much government
time (pay) will be spent on telling you (who gets none of the listed
perks) that you have to repel SB 5 because they are so overworked and
underpaid.
There are two passions, which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall at the same time be a place of profit and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it. In vast numbers of places this system has rendered the government tempestuous." - John Adams
High salaries for government offices are the best way to attract scoundrels and drive from the halls of public office those men who possess true merit and virtue” – Benjamin Franklin
SB5 - Good for future public employees
Hardly a day goes by that I don't run into someone who disagrees with me about SB5. I love teachers - always have - but don't like unions; they tend to rob people of their motivation to stand up and take care of themselves. As a Tea Party member, I believe in personal responsibility - which is the price we pay for personal liberty.
And I expect school employees to keep their SB5 opinions to themselves and not share them with their young charges; teachers have an approved curriculum and it does not include personal views of their employment issues. If someone has a beef with the laws in Ohio, I suggest they speak to the legislature not their students.
The "green" thing
[Don't know where this came from originally, but it's worth repeating.]In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized to her and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day."
That's right, they didn't have the green thing in her day. Back then, they returned their milk bottles, Coke bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
But they didn't have the green thing back in her day.[Read the rest here.]
Who does she think she's kidding?
I received this in a Raging Elephants email today:"Included in this email is a link to a Black community newspaper in Houston, Texas, the Forward Times. Front-Page Article From the Forward TimesThe Republican Party must deal with decades of relationship and image damage done in the eyes of the black community. The unfortunate action of Marilyn Davenport of Orange County, California can now be used to infuriate the black community, deepen the perceived stereotype that the GOP (and, Tea Party) is racist, and increase the difficulty to bring voters of color into the GOP voters base.
Davenport has apologized several times. However, anyone holding public office with a "R" behind their name - regardless of the rank of the office - that commits such a serious transgression, must be pressured to relinquish that post for the exact reason that the front-page story from the Forward Times illustrates. ... The Forward Times circulates in the district of Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee. Davenport has given the political opposition a mighty gift. She deserves no cover. All excuses must be dismissed. All transgressions of this nature must be condemned, universally!"(I see a family resemblance, don't you?)
Here's Davenport's apology, from the Houston "Forward Times":
"I feel that it was inappropriate and I offended people," said Marilyn Davenport, emerging from hiding to hold a press conference outside her home.
Davenport added, however, that she doesn't believe herself to be racist.
"I think it's only racist when the intent in my heart is to make it that way," she said, "and that was not the intent in my heart."
Davenport reiterated her apology later during an interview with KTLA News.
"I really am sorry for it," she said. "And [I] really regret that I sent it out."
The 74-year-old elected member of the Orange County Republican Central Committee said she won't step down because she still has the support of her "constituents."
"[They] have told me ... they want me not to resign," she said to the local news station.
A devout Christian hailing from Kansas, Davenport also insisted she did not see the image of Obama as a chimp as racist, although she admitted during her press conference that she intentionally did not send it to some friends fearing they would be offended.
Davenport said she considered it more political satire because of "all that's going on with [Obama's] birth certificate."
I get an especially big kick out of Davenport claiming she's a "... devout Christian..." It's my view that Davenport not only set black-white relations back a number of years but she didn't do anything to promote Christianity, either. I'm sure most all of those witnesses to the KKK lynchings of blacks in the South would say they were Christians, too, but I don't buy it.
I'm hoping there's a special place in Hell for anybody who claims to be a Christian yet thinks that black people are in any way inferior to white people.
Obama administration strong-armed bankruptcy court
Kudos to the Baldwin Wallace student Republicans for bringing us Thomas Lauria last evening at the Kleist Theatre. Lauria is the bankruptcy attorney in the Chrysler "reorganization" plan ...the man who fought the Obama administration and lost.
A relatively small audience, including five of us from the Lorain County 912 Tea Party, heard the details of how, in 2009, the Obama administration planted its jackboot on the proverbial neck of the U.S. Constitution, putting its own desires above those of the settled bankruptcy law, U.S. circuit courts and even the United States Supreme Court. (When I say "its own desires," that's my circular way of saying it was a huge "thank you" to the powerful union that brought us this administration and its "czars.")[Read the rest here...]

What are the chances?
Dateline April 9, 2011By Elvis
As a committed dhimmi warrior ...not unlike a brand new, fully trained kung-fu artist who seeks combatants to practice on ...I'm always on the look-out for unsuspecting citizens who need some schooling on the threat of shariah law. Saturday was one of those precious opportunities ...said the spider to the fly ...when a much older guy handed me the baton and left me to do battle with a fellow Christian.
There's a mantra among my fellow Christians that goes something like this: We are to love our fellow man. I prefer the one that goes, "Love your enemies..." because that's what I believe practitioners of Islam are ...my enemies. But that poor Christian man still thinks that Islam is a "religion of peace," just like "W" told us after 9/11. I am not so heartless as to believe that all practicing Muslims are willing to strap on a dynamite vest, but that's only because they don't know what the Qur'an says.
Start reading the Qur'an, or if you don't have time to do that, just visit "Memri.org" and listen to the imams of the Middle East as they issue commands to their followers to kill the infidels.
Editorial: False claim
Public-sector workers are not standing up for Ohio's middle class
"Dear Supporter, Now is the time. If ever there was a time to show up, stand up and let our voices be heard, it is now. The fate of Ohio's middle class is on the line at the Ohio Statehouse."
So begins a mass e-mailing from former Gov. Ted Strickland, calling on members of public-sector unions to attend yesterday's Statehouse rally opposing Senate Bill 5, which would eliminate collective bargaining for state government workers and restrict the scope of bargaining for schoolteachers, police, firefighters and other local-government employees.

A Note From Chicken Little
...lifted from my email to a local radio talk show host:
I've prided myself on being just smart enough to listen to people who know more than I do. You've been to college, Bob, law school, in fact, and although I don't get to listen to your program all the time I have appreciated your insights, your opinions, and especially your legal expertise. But that's not why I'm writing to you.
Yesterday afternoon I was on my way home from making phone calls for the GOP, and caught the beginning of your last hour. You were using the "would you buy a used car from this guy" tactic to describe Rush Limbaugh, and before you mentioned his name, I wasn't sure which radio talk show personality you were describing.
Rush fans are used to the criticisms but your little diatribe yesterday belied your stated mission, that of "think before you fear" and giving us "quality" talk on the law and politics. [Read more...]
Reprising my letter to Attorney General Holder:
Dear Eric Holder,
Saturday, July 25, 2009Mr. United States Attorney General,
Some time ago you made a comment about white people not wanting to discuss racial issues because we were cowards. At the time you made the remark I decided that I would not take the bait and answer your complaint, that I would let it ride, take a deep breath and just hope that someone close to you ...someone you trusted ...would point out that your remark made you part of problem, not part of the solution.
I also figured that confronting you would be a waste of time because not only had you made up your mind and, I believe, you have too much to lose to step back and re-think your position. Everyone has an agenda and race-baiting could be yours. [Read more...]
Commentary from Elvis... She also said Fox News never checked the facts with her before posting a story and the video clip. "Not before they reported it," she said of Fox's negligence. "They have called me today and initially I had said yes (to an interview), but I thought about it and I did not think they intended to be fair in their reporting. They are going to say what they want to say regardless of what I say." She said Fox showed no professionalism in continuing to bother her for an interview, but failing to correct their coverage. "I think they should but they won't. They intended exactly what they did. They were looking for the result they got yesterday," she said of Fox. "I am just a pawn. I was just here. They are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person." -->
The problem with the Left....
I believe that most Americans are fiscal Conservatives
, and Pro-Choice on the subject of abortion. Anti-abortion and Pro-choice are a legitimate symbiosis, but neither of these issues are discussed in the Constitution.Although this issue has become a litmus test for Conservative / Republican candidates, I have yet to hear what any candidate, if abortion were illegal, would do with a female who was pregnant and did not want to be, who wanted an abortion. Jail? House-arrest? Confined to a pregant females-only facility?
And what would be done to the male who contributed the sperm? Jail time? Time on a Chain Gang, with daily pay going toward the support of the baby, right?
For the liberty-loving American a woman's right to choose whether she wants to carry a child to full term should be a no-brainer. [Read more...]
Growing up ignorant
7/16/10
Every time I try to describe the people who say and write venomous things about me ...or activist conservatives like me ...I find I am a loss for words.
I'm talking about words like racist, ignorant, selfish, stupid, b--ch, moron. There have been other descriptive phrases that I can't remember right now, but the two that linger are racist and selfish. There are just some words that are used to convey really bad behavior or character traits.
I was raised in South Euclid in the 50's and 60's so we didn't see many black families. I had no reason to go into Cleveland proper and see black people until I took the bus to my job at 1010 Euclid Avenue. There were Jewish families in South Euclid and since they were white, like me, there seemed no obvious difference between us. [Read more...]
Apathy is such an old concept
(Original post: Saturday, November 10, 2007 7:53 AM)
My grandmother, Florence Burlingame Taylor, was a gifted writer, and poetess. Poetry was popular back in the old days and Gramma was never without poetic thoughts on hundreds of subjects.
But her poetry that means the most to me are the sometimes angry and often soothing rhymes about her soldiers off fighting the German and Japanese war machines in World War II. Her poem "Apathy" could have been written today.
Gram was one of those women in the 40's who left the home to go and work in the factory to help with the war effort. She was one of the most sincere patriots I ever knew and it shows in her poetry.
I know Gr T would be pleased to know that I am sharing some of her poetry with you. (If you want to read more, Gram is published at http://www.rufusputnam.com/byways/poems.html). [Read rest here...]
