THE SMOKING GUN IN PLAIN SIGHT

What a week this has been.  But not for Fox News, we would not know the depth to which this administration has fallen in deceiving the people they were elected to serve.  If these incidents had taken place under a Republican administration, it makes my blood run cold to think how fast the left would demonize and ultimately “throw the bum out”.

This week, there is a piece in the American Thinker by Herbert Meyer that is a real eye opener.  It has some not well known, but crucial, facts and amazing parallels.

REMEMBER OLD GLORY!

It was a day I will never forget.  After screening, what I thought was, another annoying solicitation phone call, I heard the words, "We're looking for the granddaughter of James Montgomery Flagg for a dedication in his honor at Fort Knox."

It was early spring in 2001, ironically just 3 months before 9-11, and plans were underway for a regal ceremony filled with high ranking military, honor guard, military marching band, a full fledged canon salute, and congratulatory letter from President George W. Bush.  The dedication was on Flag(g) Day, June 14th, 2001 year of Our Lord. It was also the 226th birthday of the United States Army.  Now the James Montgomery Flagg Memorial Field.

OUR ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS IN PERIL

Due to the lack of coverage by the media, most of us are unaware that we are in danger of losing our Electoral College. USLJ is on the job.........

Our freedoms are under attack on a daily basis, and we are working hard not to sound like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". It's important to pick your battles, and this one fits the bill.

A PYRRHIC DEFEAT

For those of us who fought against the Boehner Bill, and who stood ridicule in the face, it has been a bitter-sweet "told-ya-so". We can't claim victory, because the battle will continue as long as there are greedy, power-hungry people looking to fundamentally transform the United States of America.

A PYRRHIC DEFEAT.

Tomorrow, Tuesday July 12th, we have a chance to pick up a critical and near impossible congressional seat in the House of Representatives in of all places -- Los Angeles, CA. Mr. Craig Huey is running for Jane Harman’s seat against the reprehensible LA councilwoman Janice Hahn.

THOMAS SOWELL: SLAVES TO WORDS

I've had it with government spending.  People who are given money (including welfare/food stamp recipients), don't give a darn about how they spend it, and it's now more apparent then ever.

Do we see the debt ceiling for what it is, or are we "Slaves to Words"? No substantial reforms.

Cut the spending. http://bit.ly/mFIPw3

THOMAS SOWELL: SLAVES TO WORDS

This week the so-called "National Debt Ceiling" hit its congressionally
established limit of over $14 trillion. For every person in the United States,
that's $45,300 each!

How can the American people settle for "substantial reforms" in lieu of holding
the debt ceiling at its current limit? When was the last time Americans believed
elected officials would keep their word?

As Obama takes another [undeserved] bow, President Bush comfortably retreats in the satisfaction of getting the job done. It was George W. Bush who laid out the steps that needed to be done to get the number one most wanted man, as his country, and the world, unleashed vile and contempuous accusations at him. http://bit.ly/ktv3ok

2nd ANNUAL TAX DAY TEA PARTY RALLY, SANTA CRUZ, CA

and across the country, ramping up for 2012 http://bit.ly/h2Fm7c

As the 2012 elections draw closer, and over 2 years of the intrusive Obama administration in our lives, the 2nd annual Tax Day Tea Parties were celebrated across the country.  The main stream media continues to minimize the Tea Party movement, but it has become more and more prevelant on the lips of politicians, including the fearless leader.

If ever we wondered just how out-of-control this administration's spending is, nothing makes an example better than the number of people now dependent on government.  This includes government jobs (doubled), food (off the charts), housing (in the tank), transportation (non-existent), energy resources (doubled), loans (pray), welfare, unemployment, and the list goes on.

At this point, it is becoming clear our real battle is in the budget and reducing the debt limit -- not increasing it. I'm done with what has become another $30 or $40 billion dollar reduction in the grand scheme of things.  This is getting serious, but the politicians are playing Monopoly, rather then their constitutional role of advise & consent.

In line with the upcoming budget and deficit battle, this Food Stamps graph is just from 2008! A clear example of Obama's spending problem.

WHAT WOULD DEMOCRATS CUT?

As Congress finally returns to work, many are reflecting whether or not they made the right choice in the GOP's "second chance" election. This doubt began within a few short weeks of the historic November 2010 election shellacking, and the shellacking began to fade away, as the Democrats appeared unsinged.

WHAT WOULD DEMOCRATS CUT?
It is understandable why the Senate is so afraid to offer its own spending plan. http://bit.ly/hCM34O

THE DAMAGE OBAMA HAS DONE

With his new budget, Obama not only ducked our economic problems, he gave it his famous finger.  What was it that Tennessee Ernie Ford said -- "Another day older, and deeper in debt!  Saint Peter dontcha call me, 'cause I can't go.  I owe my soul to the company sto'e (that's the White House, my friends)" Debt, debt, debt.  Debt for you, for me, for our children, and for our grandchildren.  It's sinful, and the man in the White House has no conscience.

WILL THE REAL NEWT GINGRICH PLEASE STAND UP?

Here we go again. Newt Gingrich? Too many choices for the Republican ticket, and too many old and worn out ones at that, with not enough declared new faces. RINO Romney, who endorsed Mary Bono Mack, who voted FOR Cap & Trade, or Huckabee, who is more concerned with "governing" than standing on principle, and pardons criminals who go back to a life of crime -- one killing four police officers. That being said, I'm old enough to remember the waffling of Newt Gingrich on core issues. Not as bad as The Chosen One, but bad enough.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, MR. PRESIDENT

"Actions speak louder than words." An old tried & true proverb said to me by my Mother over an entire childhood, and passed on by many common sense thinking families. Obama's State of the Union (SOTU) pep rally was so full of hyperbole, I lost count.

Obama used his SOTU speech to disguise his liberal agenda in free-market, conservative rhetoric. http://bit.ly/fcGj5k

WHY LIBERALS HATE THE CONSTITUTION

Nothing irritates the Left more than being caught in a lie.  Reading the Consitutiton in the opening session of the 112th Congress was nothing less than a revelation of how far it has been abused, and why the Left doth protest too much.  It's something that should be done before every new session.

WHY LIBERALS HATE THE CONSTITUTION

If they are trying to change things for the better, why should there be any limits on them?

BERWICK SETS UP DEATH PANELS BY FIAT

We have a lot of work ahead of us in 2011. I, for one, am thoroughly disappointed with the Republicans in the 111th Congress after the Nov elections. They let Obama end the lame-duck session a winner, even after a historic shellacking, and it could not have happened without Republican votes.
------------------
Time to keep score on who voted for what, and never let them forget it when the elections return.  I started a spreadsheet, in case anyone wants to use it (in Excel).
------------------
They're ba-ack. Read @AmSpec Jeffrey Lord's "Berwick Sets Up Death Panels By Fiat"

Contact Congress, and let them know this is NOT okay.

OBAMA'S "SWINDLE OF THE YEAR"

From his Senate Conservatives Fund, Senator Jim DeMint wrote a detailed letter about the so-called 'compromise' to extend the Bush era tax rates. On the one side, it's Democrats as usual with their spend addiction and committed re-distribuion of wealth at the expense of our children and grandchildren, but the other side is the most disturbing of all - Republicans have not seen the error of their ways.

It stinks. The only satisfaction was watching a defeated president pout, blame and lie, while the über left self-destructed. The left has finally realized that they lost power, and it isn't pretty. But.... Obama has exposed his true ideological self -- more pluses.

PLAYING WITH THE TWO IMMUTABLE LAWS OF WASHINGTON.

This is a compromise that leaves both sides coming up short. http://bit.ly/guv7SB
