During the question and answer portion of President Obama’s NATO summit press conference today he made an interesting statement. He alluded to the fact that the Presidential election will be about who will ensure success for Americans from top to bottom, that everyone has a fair shot. It is clear that Obama is redefining the words of Thomas Jefferson who articulated that our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come from our Creator, not man, nor government. Benjamin Franklin stated that it is the pursuit of happiness and it is incumbent upon the American individual to make that chase and catch it. America is about individual sovereignty to pursue their happiness. It is not about government driven collective subjugation in an attempt to guarantee happiness. Sorry President Obama, we will not allow you to redefine America, nor the American Dream!
One of the concerns that many conservatives have had about Mitt Romney was that–for want of a better term–he lacks the balls to attack Barack Obama. We saw what happened in 2008 when John McCain refused to go after Barack Obama and we worried that Mitt Romney would be John McCain lite, and now it looks as if our concern has been justified.
Opponents of a U.S. law they claim may subject them to indefinite military detention for activities including news reporting and political activism persuaded a federal judge to temporarily block the measure.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan yesterday ruled in favor of a group of writers and activists who sued President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and the Defense Department, claiming a provision of the National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law Dec. 31, puts them in fear that they could be arrested and held by U.S. armed forces.
The complaint was filed Jan. 13 by a group including former New York Times reporter Christopher Hedges. The plaintiffs contend a section of the law allows for detention of citizens and permanent residents taken into custody in the U.S. on “suspicion of providing substantial support” to people engaged in hostilities against the U.S., such as al-Qaeda.
“The statute at issue places the public at undue risk of having their speech chilled for the purported protection from al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and ‘associated forces’ – i.e., ‘foreign terrorist organizations,’” Forrest said in an opinion yesterday. “The vagueness of Section 1021 does not allow the average citizen, or even the government itself, to understand with the type of definiteness to which our citizens are entitled, or what conduct comes within its scope.”
This was a good victory for Conservatism. It’s time we stopped sucking up to Democrats. The ONLY time you hear about bipartisanship is when Republicans cave to the Democrats. It never works the other way.
So. to all you RINO fucks out there, let this be another warning. You will get fired.
Republican Richard Mourdock’s victory in the Indiana Republican Senate primary Tuesday cut short the 35-year political career of a GOP lawmaker known for his willingness to work with Democrats on Capitol Hill and sent a clear message to other Republicans that compromise is now tantamount to treason.
Mourdock ended Sen. Richard Lugar’s quest for a seventh term with the help of the ultraconservative Tea Party, which sees no need to compromise with Democrats in an era of sluggish economic growth, skyrocketing federal debt and a Democratic president bent on expanding the reach of the federal government.
“Compromise, in the minds of Democrats, is wanting us to surrender, and that is essentially what Sen. Lugar does,” said Greg Fettig, co-founder of Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate, an umbrella Tea Party organization in Indiana that boasts a membership of more than 25,000. “Sen. Lugar epitomizes what is wrong with the GOP.”
Updated at 9:50 p.m. ET: Republican foreign policy elder statesman Sen. Richard Lugar, 80, first elected to the Senate in 1976, was defeated in the Indiana primary Tuesday by state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who was backed by conservatives ranging from the National Rifle Association to local Tea Party activists to the Washington-based fiscal conservative group the Club for Growth.
Mourdock scored a landslide victory, winning more than 60 percent of the vote with almost all precincts reporting.
The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people.
The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.
We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order’s plans. It’s not about Left or Right: it’s about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation.
Time to get out there and do your duty. Yes, duty.
“Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less.” – Robert E. Lee
Make the left know you’re on to them and you aren’t going to sit idly by and take their bullshit anymore. We are still the majority, we just have to get out there and prove it. Vote. Even if you don’t like the SOB the GOP puts out there, he is way better than the current occupier in the White House, a.k.a. SCOAMF.
At the time of America’s founding, the notion of civic duty was commonplace. Our entire system was predicated on the idea that citizens would take an active role in the governance of their towns, states, and country. Little was asked of Americans other than self-governance, jury duty, fighting wars when necessary, protecting the homeland, and living by the rule of law. In time, Americans were additionally “asked” to forfeit a portion of the fruits of their labor to foot the bills the government would incur.
Over the years, we have handed off most of our self-governing and civic duties to others. As the Founders anticipated, we elect town council members and state and federal legislators to “represent” us. But all too often, we leave the voting booth, brush our hands together, and go back to our normal lives thinking we are done…until the next election. In the meantime, we relinquish considerable power and control over our lives to the very people who are supposed to be working for us.
We have so completely shirked our personal and civic responsibilities that we have inadvertently created a class of professional politicians. With the economic and personal stakes being so high for these professional politicians, the legislation they enact is often compromised, and their re-election campaigns are motivated more by what’s good for the incumbent than by what’s good for the People.
I stopped over at Bob’s place and he has an excellent point about firing Boner’s (sic) ass. Other than being a crying pussy, he isn’t doing his job protecting or defending the Constitution. Most of those morons in Congress aren’t but the leader of the House sure as hell should. Pelosi being a prime example of a criminal politician that didn’t do her job and should have been fired as well, but that’s besides the point.
Let me be totally up-front about my complete ambivalence to Speaker of the House John Boehner’s career as a congressman, and his current tenure as Speaker of the House. I have no strong feelings about his overall performance one way or the other.
Now that my position is perfectly clear on that, let me explain why he needs to be fired from his job, and replaced with a Speaker that values the Constitution and the rule of law more than he loves political power.
It has now been 15 months since Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered on Peck’s Canyon Arizona by a cartel rip crew led by an FBI criminal informant. Within 48 hours of his death, top officials in DOJ were aware of the fact that multiple weapons discarded by the rip crew had been traced back to Operation Fast and Furious, a joint effort of the BATFE, DEA, and FBI within the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security, elements of the IRS’s CID, and if conducted with even the thinnest veneer of legality, the State Department.
