I was ask by a community Sister had I sent her U TUBE video by "Dr Fauci" one of the researchers credited with discovering the "AIDS" virus...This took me back a lot of years to my early years in ministry...having read many books from different authors just trying to find the simple truth which was in very short supply concerning this devastating condition..the who,what and why. Two books stood out that were just "basic information" no slant like "jack Web" "Just facts sir"...e was the "AIDS COVER-UP THE OTHER AID:RAGE AND REALITY WHY SILENCE IS DEADLY" both by GENE ANTONIO. The following is the "cut and paste from my response".... No but I have many of the early reports and "Ignored",Med WARNING and OP-Eds from the late 70's when it was still just barely understood and killed so swiftly with such massive fatalities. Back then it was called "GRIDS" "GAY RELATED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME"...THAT IS A STORY ALL

WITHIN ITSELF, FOR INSTANCE THIS IS THE FIRST RECORDED INSISTENCE OF A "RETRO-VIRUS",BEING FOUND IN HUMANS...THIS SET OFF ALARM BELLS DOWN AT THE "CDC" IN ATLANTA...AT THAT TIME IT WAS 99% ISOLATED TO THE "HOMOSEXUAL" COMMUNITY...THERE WAS AN INSTANT PUSH FOR QUARANTINE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A "DISEASE" BUT RATHER A "SYNDROME" WHICH MEANS IT IS PROPAGATED AND TRANSMITTED BY BEHAVIORAL "CHOICES"....THIS IS WHEN THE "RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT" FIRST "FLEXED" IT NEWLY "ACQUIRED" POLITICAL INFLUENCE. THE DECISIONS MADE AT THAT TIME WOULD FORESHADOW ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BROUGHT THE MIGHTIEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ON THE PLANET TO THE VERGE OF DESTRUCTION, AND "OBAMA CARE". THERE WAS A "WHOLESALE" RESIGNATION OF MANY RESEARCHERS FROM THE "CDC" BECAUSE "COMMON SENSE" QUARANTINE" PROTOCOLS WERE NOT "IMMEDIATELY" ESTABLISHED. ONE INTERVIEW EITHER ON AN EARLY CHRISTIAN STATION OR MAYBE EVEN "60 MINS"...THE EXPERT SAID AND I QUOTE "THIS WILL DESTROY OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM"...WELL OVER THE PAST 28 PLUS YEARS THIS HAS PROVEN "PROPHETIC"...THE FULL POWER OF BIG "PHARMA" AND "UNIVERSITY"

RESEARCH WENT INTO A "MANHATTAN" PROJECT MODE TO DEVELOP THE HYPER EXPENSIVE "ANTI-VIRAL" COCKTAILS THAT FOR ALL ADMITTED PURPOSES GAVE THE AVERAGE HOMOSEXUAL IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND "AVERAGE LIFESPAN",BUT AT A COST!!! THE EXPENSE OF THIS BREAKTHROUGH VIRAL RESEARCH WHICH ALLOWED THEM TO CONTINUE WITH ALL THE UNNATURAL PRACTICES ASSOCIATED WITH "SODOMY, AT THE U.S. TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE!!! THEY CAME "OUT OF THE CLOSET" AND JUMPED INTO EVERYONE'S POCKET! THE LEGITIMATE "CIVIL RIGHTS" MOVEMENT "POST MARTIN LUTHER KING", UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF "MEDIA ANOINTED" BLACK LEADER JESSE JACKSON'S "RAINBOW COALITION" BECAME THE PERFECT "TROJAN HORSE" THAT GAVE THE HOMOSEXUALS SOMETHING ALL THEIR MONEY COULD NOT PURCHASE "PSEUDO LEGITIMACY"...WHICH ALLOWED THEM TO LEVERAGE THEIR IMMENSE FINANCIAL RESOURCES (HOLLYWOOD,MADISON AVE,THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM)THE MEDIA..

Earlier this week we all have seen Mr Obama tell the country he wanted to lower housing interest rates....

Here is my take on this - and I think I'm correct in my assessment.

In 2008 this failed "policy" provided a means for this administration to steal (my opinion) taxpayer monies and claim they were bailing out the economy.... A $43 TRILLION dollar lawsuit emerged for Racketeering and Money Laundering against White House staff, Eric Holder and many others..... 

And I quote from the article;

"This lawsuit represents the most massive scale of corruption, theft of public funds, laundering, racketeering, and failure of the government to pursue it’s duty to the citizens of America in history. It promises to unveil and divulge the corrupt inner workings of the federal government along with its malignant relationship with the banking industry, Wall Street, and government officials who have considered themselves cunningly beyond the law!"

That was then; has anyone seen a penny of that money find it's way back into our Treasury? No, we are told it will take years as it wends it's convoluted way through the Court System. WHY?

It seems to me that $43 Trillion dollars would help our economy out, it would likely put us back in the black..... so why wait? Why drag it out?

Now, we have Mr Obama attempting to do the very same thing all over again..... and not a peep is heard in dissension.

I submit to you that we have been lied to, our National Treasury has been raided by thieves calling themselves elected, we have a felon in charge of the Nation's highest Law Enforcement office - and Congress is doing nothing to prevent any of this.

I submit that should Congress allow Mr Obama to decrease interest rates again, allow him to force or coerce Banks to provide sub-prime mortgages - we will see another Multi-Trillion dollar loss of taxpayer dollars to thieves calling themselves elected... providing an excellent springboard for a marxist/communist/muslim/illegal alien to take complete control of our Nation.... as he invokes martial law when the public finds out the Nation is bankrupt and revolts.

Why has this entire issue dropped completely off the radar and why are there no Congressional Leaders standing up to protect the Nation?

Why has the House refused to cut off Mr Obama and his extremely frivolous spending?

Can anyone give me a valid reason why this has disappeared off the radar?

You would think - with this amount of taxpayer money involved - that SOMEONE in Congress would get behind it and sound off....

The WH and DOJ are both involved..... why is no one in Congress taking action? What exactly are you afraid of?

Inquiring minds want to know.

DHS excuse for buying billions of rounds of ammo  exposed as yet another blatant lie

On Wednesday, April 3, 2013, a group of women enjoying a “girl’s day out” noticed something amiss in Beverly Hills California.  They noticed that the Beverly Hills Hotel was flying the Mexican flag next to the American flag.    

They proceeded to enter the hotel and ask why a hotel located in Beverly Hills, CA was flying the flag of a foreign nation alongside Old Glory.

Brandon (who did not give his last name) the front desk manager working in the hotel told them it had been raised to honor the heritage of Mexican farms that were located on the land before the hotel was built.

He then proceeded to tell them to “get used to it” and had security escort them from the building.

Apparently this is not the first time this issue has been raised with the hotel: http://immigrationbuzz.com/?p=2321

Why were American Citizens escorted from the premises for asking that question?

Why were American Citizens told to “get used to” seeing the Mexican Flag fly above a hotel located within the United States of America?

Not only does the day manager’s explanation sound dubious, it does not jive with the history shown in the hotels own video: http://www.beverlyhillshotel.com/anniversary-video

Anyone acquainted with American history knows that California has been part of the United States since the Mexican-American War (1846–1848) ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which determined that the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and Utah would became U.S. Territories, while the lower region of California, the Baja Peninsula, remained a part of Mexico.

America assumed a $3.25 million dollar debt and paid out $15 million more for California. Translated to today's money, that $15 million comes to $376 billion.

Quite simply, this is part of the “progressive” assault upon America. This is happening while “progressives” within both major American political Parties attempt to devalue American Citizenship through “comprehensive immigration reform.”

Not only should American Citizens contact Congress and tell them granting American Citizenship to foreign nationals who broke the law to come and stay in America unwarranted, they should contact the Beverly Hills Hotel immediately and let them know that flying the flag of a foreign country within the United States of America is completely unacceptable.

      Will White Students be denied entrance to College Admissions Office

If you are a white student walking into a Michigan college admissions office, you have to be wondering whether you are going to be admitted based on your grades or denied because of your ethnicity. This may soon become the reality for a countless number of white college students across the wolverine state, or America if the U.S. Supreme Court rules to invalidate state voters that voted against using race to determine college admittance in 2006.

Of course racial discrimination is unfair, repugnant and dangerous to the social viability of a nation when it is used to deny the rights of its citizens. The problem which voters in Michigan thought had been corrected was to toss out race-conscious affirmative action admission plans with a fairer race-neutral approach.

At the core of the case is the notion that fifty-eight percent of Michigan voters were seriously in error in amending the Michigan constitution to prohibit discrimination in admission to state colleges on the basis of national origin, sex, race or ethnicity.

To most voters in Michigan this seemed like a relative no-brainer. How could anyone oppose not using discriminatory practices to deny a prospective student entry to college?

It seems that the liberals and race baiters who thrive on erecting barriers to race neutrality and color blind solutions wanted a different result. Instead of desiring to work to determine real solutions to any potential problems minorities might be experiencing in matriculating from high school to college admittance, they took the more convenient route to cry racism!

This approach taken by the civil rights organizations in the state and nationally have determined without much effort, to use a formula that strips sanity from the law and replaces it with fear and racist scare tactics. The goal is to scare the judicial community and moderates who are lukewarm on everything, to abandon common sense and support a fraud which has no foundation in law or on recent facts.

Where is the proof that there is continued discrimination against minorities since the voters in Michigan decided that reverse discrimination is unjustified and beneath the dignity of a state that wants equal treatment for all of its citizens? What about a state’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, where the state and its citizens have a right to determine its own course in order to balance justice and equality under the law?

Another key question of law which the court must grapple with is whether or not a state amendment that bars discrimination in its constitution can be found to be unconstitutional because it does not allow discriminatory practices and remedies.

Are you confused now?

You should be, because in effect, what the advocates of affirmative action are arguing is that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment should allow a state to openly and intentionally discriminate against a race or ethnic group as a means to remedy previous discriminatory practices.

We have a drug supported mental industry that has no honor! I have been overseas and saw that so many had no mental illness because it was not supported or was non-existent! Our States in the USA get Federal dollars to give mental patients addictions! It is not the drugs, but the care! A special diet by a Doctor in California totally healed my sister. It was predicted that the diet, because of past State healthcare would have to be for at least 5 years, would totally cure her! 

My niece, her daughter, brought her to me. She was on the diet and totally normal! I was shocked. I mean fully normal! Much of her life she got drug rehab and special State care. She became addicted, not to the drugs per-say, but the attention given in State healthcare! Now these were our major mental problems.. one was bi-polar. The other was switch of her personality to make adjustment. This Doctor in California had given her the cure! It was diet and not drugs! 

I tried to take care of her but found that she was addicted to the care, not the drugs! She is now in a care center in California instead of here in Michigan. The reality of a cure shocked the appointed State mental health giver who came to talk to me. He, I found,, moved her away from me against her daughter's wishes and mine. Why... MONEY! I told him about her diet and said it was totally successful. It did not support State care was what came out! Money with Liberals is more than with our Conservatives and is always the case. This is a biggie when we are accused. I like that when I saw I get 26k a year but have honor!

Some very good comparisons between Bush and Obama.   Enjoy!

The libs in their ignorance and arrogance are attempting to lay the blame on repubs and consv. People , it is time to push back! Start looking for articles like this one and than commenting , in particular to the libs, give them the facts - they are responsible for this and all future destruction created by obama! If you follow go the the link this article exists on you will see idiots who are obviously libs doing what libs always do - blaming anyone but themselves. Loudly and firmly remind them who created the sequester and why it went into affect.  At the end of your comments please quote obama "And you made it happen!"

Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients. Blame the sequester.

Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts.

Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially.

Patients at these clinics would need to seek treatment elsewhere, such as at hospitals that might not have the capacity to accommodate them.

“If we treated the patients receiving the most expensive drugs, we’d be out of business in six months to a year,” said Jeff Vacirca, chief executive of North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates in New York. “The drugs we’re going to lose money on we’re not going to administer right now.”

After an emergency meeting Tuesday, Vacirca’s clinics decided that they would no longer see one-third of their 16,000 Medicare patients.

“A lot of us are in disbelief that this is happening,” he said. “It’s a choice between seeing these patients and staying in business.”

Some who have been pushing the federal government to spend less on health care say this is not the right approach.

“I don’t think there was an intention to disrupt care or move it into a more expensive setting,” said Cathy Schoen, senior vice president of the Commonwealth Fund, which recently released a plan for cutting $2 trillion in health spending. “If that’s the case, we’re being  penny-wise and a pound-foolish with these cuts.”

Legislators meant to partially shield Medicare from the automatic budget cuts triggered by the sequester, limiting the program to a 2 percent reduction — a fraction of the cuts seen by other federal programs.

But oncologists say the cut is unexpectedly damaging for cancer patients because of the way those treatments are covered.

Medications for seniors are usually covered under the optional Medicare Part D, which includes private insurance. But because cancer drugs must be administered by a physician, they are among a handful of pharmaceuticals paid for by Part B, which covers doctor visits and is subject to the sequester cut.

The federal government typically pays community oncologists for the average sales price of a chemotherapy drug, plus 6 percent to cover the cost of storing and administering the medication.

Since oncologists cannot change the drug prices, they argue that the entire 2 percent cut will have to come out of that 6 percent overhead. That would make it more akin to a double-digit pay cut.

“If you get cut on the service side, you can either absorb it or make do with fewer nurses,” said Ted Okon, director of the Community Oncology Alliance, which advocates for hundreds of cancer clinics nationwide. “This is a drug that we’re purchasing. The costs don’t change and you can’t do without it. There isn’t really wiggle room.”

Okon’s group has sent letters to legislators urging them to exempt cancer drugs from the sequester or, as a back-up, only shave 2 percent off the money they receive to administer the medications.

Doctors at the Charleston Cancer Center in South Carolina began informing patients weeks ago that, due to the sequester cuts, they would soon need to seek treatment elsewhere.

“We don’t sugar-coat things, we’re cancer doctors,” Charles Holladay, a doctor at the clinic, said. “We tell them that if we don’t go this course, it’s just a matter of time before we go out of business.”

Cancer patients turned away from local oncology clinics may seek care at hospitals, which also deliver chemotherapy treatments.

The care will likely be more expensive: One study from actuarial firm Milliman found that chemotherapy delivered in a hospital setting costs the federal government an average of $6,500 more annually than care delivered in a community clinic.

Those costs can trickle down to patients, who are responsible for picking up a certain amount of the medical bills. Milliman found that Medicare patients ended up with an average of $650 more in out-of-pocket costs when they were seen only in a hospital setting.

It is still unclear whether hospitals have the capacity to absorb these patients. The same Milliman report found that the majority of Medicare patients — 66 percent — receive treatment in a community oncology clinic, instead of a hospital.

Non-profit hospitals will likely have an easier time bearing the brunt of the sequester cuts. A federal program known as 340B requires pharmaceutical companies to give double-digit discounts to hospitals that treat low-income and uninsured patients.

Eastern Connecticut Health Network began preparing for additional volume after a local oncology practice sent out notice that it would stop seeing certain cancer patients.

“What we’re trying to do in the hospital is prepare for this,” ECHN spokesman Eric Berthel said. “We’re making sure we have access to the pharmaceutical companies and that we have appropriate staff on hand. We’re hoping the oncology practice will be successful in renegotiating this. It’s so fresh, so we’re pretty unsure.”

Some cancer clinics are counting on the federal government to provide relief, and continuing to see patients they expect to lose money on.

“We’re hoping that something will change, as legislators see the impact of this,” Ralph Boccia, director of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders in Bethesda, Md., said. “I don’t think we could keep going, without a change, for more than a couple of months.”

An analysis prepared by his clinic estimates that, if the full 2 percent cut takes effect, between 50 and 70 percent of the drugs it administers would become money losers.

Boccia estimates that 55 percent of his patients are covered by Medicare, making any changes to reimbursement rates difficult to weather.

“When I look at the numbers, they don’t add up,” he said. “Business 101 says we can’t stay open if we don’t cover our costs.”

The reality of  "abortion" has left me tormented , horrified, shocked and in despair. I don't know what America is anymore, I don't know what Americans are anymore and I continue to think , perhaps our day of judgement has come, worse yet , I am hoping it has come.  There are millions of Americans out there who condone and revel in their "right" to murder and torture infants who are trapped in the womb of evil incarnate. I am not talking about the first month or two of the infants life in the womb. I am talking about infants that after mother and Dr fail to murder them inside the womb and fail are born alive! Babies born alive, moving in agony and fighting for life, struggling for life giving air as the mother and Dr look on. The infants are placed on a metal tray and left there to breathe their last.

I don't think we are worth saving anymore , I think Americans have become sick, twisted , demented animals who have rotted inside from their self serving , selfish attitudes. This society is darkly sick, evil and I  honestly do not know if recovery is possible and if it is are the people of this nation worth fighting for. I don't know right now.

GOP Senate Chances Good
By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com on April 2, 2013

Printer-Friendly Version

Having blown five likely Senate wins on bad candidates and worse consulting, it is best not to count chickens before they hatch, but the prospects for Republican gains in the Senate in 2014 are brightening. And there is a solid shot at regaining control.

Two seats seem poised to fall into Republican laps. In West Virginia, the retirement of Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller leaves a void that Republican Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito seems likely to fill. Moore Capito is the daughter of longtime West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore (a former client), who remained popular even after his conviction and imprisonment on corruption charges. It's hard to see any Democrat beating her.

The retirement of South Dakota's Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson also creates a vacancy in a heavily Republican state. Republican candidates are likely to be either former Gov. Mike Rounds or at-large Rep. Kristi Noem. The Democratic nominee will probably be Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, the three-term at-large former congresswoman Noem beat in 2010. Before Johnson retired, Public Policy Polling had Rounds 11 points ahead of him and 5 up on Sandlin. Noem was 4 points ahead of Johnson and 1 behind Sandlin. We all need to remember how at-large Congressman Rick Berg managed to mess up his shot at the Senate in North Dakota last year, costing the Republicans an expected pickup; we can't take anything for granted, but South Dakota looks good for the GOP at this time.

In Arkansas, Democratic incumbent Mark Pryor is not retiring -- not voluntarily anyway -- but Basswood Research has him running 8 points behind newly elected Republican Rep. Tom Cotton. Pryor's job approval is dead even, at 36-36. As Arkansas has shifted from 3:1 Democratic to 4:0 Republican in its congressional delegation over the past two cycles, and after former Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln was trounced in 2010, Pryor's incumbency rests uneasy.

Beyond those three seats, Republicans are hungrily eyeing Sen. Tom Harkin's vacancy in Iowa, and have legitimate shots at Democratic incumbents in Alaska, Louisiana, Montana and North Carolina -- red states all.

Republicans should hang on to all their vacancies, but Republican Susan Collins of Maine could be endangered as she seeks another term.

The lessons of 2010 and 2012 loom large. The Republican Party threw away five likely Senate wins -- in Nevada, Delaware, and Colorado in 2010 and in Indiana and Missouri in 2012. In each case, a strong Tea Party conservative beat a mainstream Republican in the primaries and then blew the general election -- in Indiana, Missouri and Delaware by asinine comments, and in Nevada and Colorado by incompetent campaigns.

But remember that, without the Tea Party, we would never have won 68 seats in the House in 2010. So we shouldn't reject all Tea Party insurgents, but rather be more sensible in our choice of candidates.

To win, Republicans must end the Democratic hegemony among Latino voters. The GOP performance on immigration reform will tell the story.

And Republicans must stop saying stupid things about abortion. In the narrow sense, we must make sure that we defeat in primaries any candidate who favors a ban on abortion in the case of rape. Such a nominee would be too far to the right to be elected in any of these swing states.

In a larger sense, Republican nominees should move away from the legal front on abortion and toward the practical way to vindicate a pro-life agenda. After 40 years of Roe under Republican courts, let's all realize that it is not about to be overturned under President Obama. Let's instead emphasize our determination to reduce the number of abortions by birth control, abstinence education, counseling, adoption incentives and parental notification and consent. We have lowered the number of abortions from 1.4 million to 800,000 in the past two decades. We should set a goal of getting it under 500,000 -- a goal both mainstream liberals and conservatives can unite to accomplish.

The prospects are bright for 2014 if we can heed the admonition of the cartoon character Pogo: "we have met the enemy and he is us!"

NumbersUSA Media Response jeremy beck AP bans "illegal immigrant"...is "sovereignty" next? Mindy, You may have heard the outrageous news that the Associated Press has dropped "illegal immigrant" from its vocabulary -- unless it appears in quotes. They have also dropped "illegal alien," "illegals," and "undocumented." CONTACT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: AP Style Book: stylebook@ap.org Tom Kent, Head of AP's Style Book: tkent@ap.org If you wish to multiply your message, google "illegal immigrant ap" and click on any of the media links to leave comments. If the media wants to use the legal terminology, they can use "unlawful alien." This is what one NumbersUSA member wrote to the AP: "You have made a very foolish and shortsighted decision in banning the use of "illegal immigrant." In effect you have declared that American citizenship is an obsolete concept. "This is a step back, not a step forward, for social justice as well as for honesty in journalism. "The reasoning you offer to distinguish between entering the U.S. illegally and being an illegal immigrant is strained, and has no basis in logic, fact, or the law of the United States. "If there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant, there is no such thing as a lawful citizen. "That is the plain fact which you are trying to obscure. "In the spirit of Theodore Hesburgh and Barbara Jordan on immigration policy, I urge you to reverse your unfortunate and misguided decision." Pro-amnesty lobbies have been pressuring the media to drop "illegal immigrant" for years but have stepped up their efforts in recent months. Their next target is the New York Times. The Times' Public Editor reports that the paper is also considering dropping "illegal immigrant." You can contact the Times' Public Editor, Margaret Sullivan, at: public@nytimes.com As this video from the Media Research Center shows, language matters in the immigration debate. Voters who don't know the difference between "undocumented workers" and "illegal immigrants" are more likely to say they support some form of amnesty. jeremy

WHEN DID THE conversation become all about money?  It didn’t start out that way. Sure, we wanted to evoke the Founding Fathers and the American Revolutionary spirit, so we thought of the Boston Tea Party, and the Taxed Enough, Already, movement got started.

But it wasn’t really about money. It was about Good and Evil.

When the discussion was about Good and Evil, we knew who we were. We were the good guys. Our rallies were famous for lawn chairs, portable barbecues, funny hats and relaxed attitudes.

When the speakers were finished, they would more than likely pull up a chair under somebody’s sun shade and share a hamburger. In the midst of almost total governmental darkness, we laughed and joked and shook hands all the way to a House majority and a filibusterable Senate.

Then it got grim.

 Somehow, it always gets grim. Conservatives are distinguished for being decent people, and far too often this leads us into talking about what the other guy wants to talk about. The result is that the other guy gets to dominate the conversation.

 The other guy, this time around (and pretty much always), is mammon.

 “Mammon,” too-often translated simply, “money,” is more than money: it is the secular world system of money-driven power. It is the system that regards, “it makes money,” as a moral statement, and thereby subordinates morality to the profit motive. It is the system that opposes God, because God tends to get in our way.

 God tells us we cannot serve both Him and mammon (Matthew 6:24). The reason for that is that, if we serve God, everything—including the profit motive—is subordinated to morality. And  not just any old morality, not a morality that we make up for ourselves, but Godly morality: the sort that holds the integrity of the family—every family—sacred, and sees human beings—all human beings—as living icons of Christ, however scarred those icons might be. Godly morality proclaims the dignity and the intended Divine destiny of  man, and hence the inestimable value of every life.

 If we reduce all of that to “fiscal responsibility,” we find ourselves, albeit inadvertently, playing the opposition’s game, on the opposition’s field, with the opposition’s borrowed equipment.

 So, how’s that working for us?

 Where is that easy-going good nature the TEA Party movement started with? Where is that ebullient confidence we all had, that came from being part of something not just logical and sensible, but Right—not as in Right and Left, but as in Right and Wrong. When did our determined optimism turn to angry defensiveness?

 When did we start losing?

 I think it was when we began to redefine “patriotism,” away from preserving our Godly and moral culture and toward preserving our bankroll.

 The result is that we’re beginning to look just like the Left. “Our” media are all full of “scare-selling,” to try to get our attention (and sell us protection against The Inevitable Disaster), supermarket-tabloid scandal-mongering, (as if that were the only way to hold our interest) and nasty, even profane blather on our discussion groups.

 This isn’t how we started. This isn’t how we won. This is how we started losing.

 We need to get back to saying what we want to say, our way, in our words, without embarrassment and without letting the Left set the rules for the conversation.

Recently, a conservative conference was announced. Some didn’t want to have anything to do with the moral conversation, so it split into two “conservative”  conferences. I frankly hope no-one attends the “fiscal-only” conference, because we just don’t need any more selling-out to mammon.

America has never been an immoral nation. It has never been an amoral nation. It has never been an atheistic nation. It has been a Christian nation for its entire life, until the Left sucker-pinched us in the 60’s and began to dominate the cultural conversation. If we are truly conservative Americans, we will work to rebuild the country that became the greatest nation on earth, and we will stop caving in to the demands of the Left that we join them in tearing down the moral foundation upon which our every strength—including our fiscal strength—was built.

Destroying Our Military from Within

Destroying Our Military from Within

By Alan Caruba

“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.” — Ronald Reagan

If you want to know how President 

Obama feels about the U.S. military, consider that in all the years since D-Day 1945 there have been three occasions when a President failed to go to the D-Day Monument that honors the soldiers killed during the Invasion.

The occasions were:1. Barack Obama 2010
2. Barack Obama 2011
3. Barack Obama 2012

For the past 68 years, all Presidents, except Obama, have paid tribute to the fallen soldiers killed on D-Day. This year, instead of honoring the soldiers, he made a campaign trip on Air Force 1 to California to raise funds for his reelection.

The U.S. military has been systematically weakened from within by a combination of idiotic and duplicitous decisions that suggest how far the nation has come from the fundamental understanding that an enemy must be destroyed with sufficient devastation as to never contemplate attacking us or our allies again.

World War Two was a success because both Germany and Japan were required to sign instruments of unconditional surrender. Both nations are now our allies. Even Vietnam where the U.S. blundered into a civil war and was ultimately forced to withdraw now has normalized diplomatic relations and welcomes U.S. investment.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan remain inconclusive due to a combination of timid rules of engagement and the transformation of our military’s mission into “nation-building” that have yielded unsatisfactory results.

The military force that distinguished America as a super power at the mid-point of the last century now is facing draconian funding reductions from a Congress unwilling to make hard decisions about our historic debt. A July Wall Street Journal editorial, “The Coming Defense Crack-Up”, warned the automatic sequestration, “If implemented, the Pentagon budget would be cut by another 9% (or $492 billion) over the next decade, on top of the $487 billion in cuts that are already planned. Defense accounts for the largest share of total sequestration, or 42. 6% m according to the Congressional Budget Office.”

“The sequestration cuts would leave the defense budget some 30% smaller in 10 years.” Does anyone believe that the world will be any safer in two years or ten years? Or that weakening our defense will  make us safer in a world bristling with nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction?

The greatest force for the defense of the nation and for freedom in the world is being reduced by a Congress and a White House who refuse to recognize the threats that exist in a dangerous world.

Force the Showdown Between State and Federal Authority on our terms

Protect our already invaded and trampled borders.

The showdown must begin in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico where there are conservative governors.

The prerequisites to the showdown, if possible, are for the state legislatures to;

1. Authorize State, not Federal, prisons to use those incarcerated to work for the state in whatever capacity they are fit to perform
2. Authorize the governors of their state the ability to secede from the U.S. if the Federal government denies their right to protect themselves from foreign invaders
3. Authorize the governor to mobilize state police, militia and private citizens to defend the state if Federal troops, either FEMA or the military, is mobilized against the State in violation of the Federal and State constitutions

If the prerequisites cannot be met then the individual governors will need to step up and be leaders to ensure the protection of their citizens.

Build tent cities along the border to house all State inmates and/or volunteers. By volunteers I believe thousands of retired patriots will come to help.

All inmates can do something even if it is prepare food or paperwork. Then deliver supplies to the border and divide the workforce into three shifts and build the wall 24 X 7 on State land with motion detectors, listening devices and hidden cameras until it is complete.

Ask the citizens to volunteer or donate money and the response will be tremendous from within and without the State. When the Federal government tries to stop them with court orders or mandates from the attorney general’s office, ignore them.

The premise is although the Federal government has the responsibility to protect our National borders the States have the right and constitutional mandate to protect their citizens.

When the Federal government mobilizes troops or FEMA to stop the work then execute authorizations 2 & 3 above or let leaders lead without authorization.

The showdown between Federal and State laws and constitutions will have begun and conservatives whether gun owners or not will rally behind these States and come in droves to help defend against a tyrannical government trying to deny citizens protection from foreign invaders.

The Federal government will either back down or the next revolution to overthrow a tyrannical government will begin.

The Authority for this insurrection is found in the:

Constitution

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

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Amendment 10 - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people

Declaration of Independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

I present some of the reasons to throw off such government:

• He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
• He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. Government employees have risen drastically in number
• For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: Obamacare
• For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: (This would be for the U.S. citizens killed by drones without due process of the law)
• For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
• He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. (This is is the government tries to stop the states from protecting their citizens)

After the babies are murdered and it is accepted as NORMAL who would be next?  YOU! ME! Old people, people with low IQ's, minorities, people with different ideas, people who won't be SHEEPLE led by the nose of the One World Government crazies, people who love God and follow God and question the replacement of God by Governments, people who question the wisdom of the progressives/socialist/communists.  WHO IS NEXT BECAUSE IT WON'T STOP WITH THE MURDER OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS.  IF YOU THINK IT WILL YOUR DREAMING.  WE MUST STOP ABORTIONS AND WE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT 30 YEARS AGO.  THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO END ABORTION?  WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE THEY ABORT YOU!
