President Obama’s Jobs Council Down: Five Raked in Billions of Green Stimulus Funds, Including Billionaire Penny Pritzker 

If you haven't heard the latest on the jobs front, just two years and four meetings later, President Obama closed down his Jobs Council last Thursday. A day later, unemployment "ticked up to 7.9 percent, and remains higher than it was when Obama took office and has consistently been higher than the 7 percent mark the White House promised it would not cross if Congress passed the so-called stimulus package taken up during the president's first months in office,” reports U.S. News & World Report.

 

“Obama is reportedly irked by the fact that the jobs council has recommended lifting regulations rather than creating new ones. Since the American people obviously did not hold Obama accountable for his economic failures as president, he is now going to focus on other issues: climate change, gun control, abortion, and immigration,” writes Breibart News.

 

Since its creation, the members have pushed for renewable energy subsidies. In October 2011, these Obama advisors issued a report calling for among other things, “a new federal financing program to attract private investment for clean energy projects via loan guarantees and other tools.” This request is on top of the $80 billion of "green earmarks" that has been flowing out of the 2009-Recovery Act as well as other agencies fueling clean energy projects like the Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), etc. Furthermore, the Obama administration fires up new climate legislation and mandates, which benefits special interest groups while adversely affecting American families.

 

So we say goodbye to Obama’s Jobs Council –– a panel full of "deep-pocket Democratic donors and high-profile financiers" of Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, noted ABC News in 2011. Meanwhile several were Obama campaign bundlers and it included its share of union representatives like AFL-CIO’s left-wing "elitist" Richard Trumka.

 

During its February 2011 implementation, The Wall Street Journal pointed out, "The group is long on White House regulars, golf partners and meal guests." A jobs panel by the way –– those that have been advising the president on how to create jobs and grow the economy, of which many were recruited from President Obama's February 2009 Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB) enacted by an "executive order" –– whereas the majority are known for “job outsourcing.

 

If you’ve been following any of my Green Corruption stories, since December I’ve been unraveling a new series "Spreading the Wealth to Obama's Ultra-Rich Jobs Council," exposing the five panel members that have received billions of “green” funds, the majority coming from the 2009-Recovery Act. So far I’ve covered Jeffrey Immelt, John Doerr, Lewis Hay, and today I will tackle the Hyatt heiress that raised more than $900,000 for Obama's two campaigns –– billionaire Penny Pritzker, also "rumored for Commerce Job" –– although recent reports show it could soon become a reality.

 

 

Obama’s Last Commerce Secretary

This is the same position that was held by John Bryson –– entangled in a huge piece of this Green Corruption scandal –– who was BrightSource Energy’s chairman of the board prior to his appointment as Secretary of Commerce with the Obama White House in May 2011. Although Bryson resigned in June 2012 following some mysterious auto accidents, his and the current BrightSource CEO John Woolard's political influence was no mishap.

 

Bryson has ties to the left-wing organization the Apollo Alliance as well as the politically powerful billionaire George Soros –– both helped craft the stimulus package, a trillion-dollar influx of taxpayer cash that eventually bailed out BrightSource. The firm was part of an intense push in 2011 that involved meaningful Democrat connections –– donors, investors, and stakeholders –– and correspondences with President Obama as well as the White House and Department of Energy Officials.

 

Throw in the fact that BrightSource has an array of investors that happen to be high-powered Obama donors like Goldman Sachs, Google, BP Alternative Energy, and VantagePoint Capital. Add in Bernie Toon, who served then-Senator Joe Biden as his Chief of Staff, who became a lobbyist for BrightSource Energy on March 6, 2011, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for guaranteed success. And it doesn’t hurt that many of the parties involved frequented the White House during the DOE loan review process.

 

Despite the fact that BrightSource was one of 22 (out of 26) projects from the 1705 loan guaranteed program –– created under the 2009-Recovery Act –– which were rated as "junk bond" status, that didn’t sway the DOE in the least. Because on April 11, 2011, the DOE announced the finalization of $1.6 billion in loan guarantees for BrightSource’s Ivanpah project, which created a whopping 1000 construction and 86 permanent jobs. These were projects that were funded by the DOE with  $16 billion of taxpayer money, of which we can confirm that over 90 percent are politically connected to the president and other high-ranking Democrats –– some both.

 

However, the BrightSource push started as early as September 2009, as reflected in the House Oversight leaked emails that were unleashed late October 2012 –– a treasure trove of "inside DOE Intel" –– which not only confirms the above shady scenario, it implicates more BrightSource executives and stakeholders, DOE officials as well as Obama’s Green Team and several in Congress from the Democrat side.

 

In the 350+ page Appendix II, I found ongoing interaction and pressure from the heavy weight K Street firm McBee Strategic Consulting, which substantiates Timothy Carney's (the Examiner) statement, “K Street is the epicenter of this green-industrial complex, and ground zero might be the firm founded by Democratic revolving-door earmark lobbyist Steve McBee.” Carney goes on with an interesting discovery; McBee ­­[a cap-and-trade pusher] “reportedly wrote key provisions in the stimulus bill to open the spigot of green corporate welfare.”

 

The “BrightSource Billion Dollar Shady DOE Deal,” which also received special treatment by the Department ofInterior (part of our “Special Seven Series” last summer), plot thickens because along with Google and BrightSource, “NRG is the lead investor (sometime in October 2010 during the time of their DOE loan process) of the 392 MW Ivanpah project currently being developed in southeastern California's Mojave Desert.”

 

4063659838?profile=original

The NRG piece to this green deal was underreported, as was the fact that NRG Energy Inc. (BrightSource) is "the number one  recipient of most the 1705 loans."  If you’re not aware, NRG is connected to George Soros, an Obama donor and 2009-Recovery Act advisor, who "in the first quarter of 2009, went on a stock buying spree in companies that ultimately benefited from the federal stimulus," including NRG Energy –– a huge revelation featured in Peter Schweizer's blockbuster 2011 release that rocked the Washington establishment, Throw Them All Out, which I touched upon last May when NRG Energy landed on the DOE Cronyism Hot Seat. More damaging details in the works, but I digress…

 

 

Billionaire Penny Pritzker

Penny Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt Hotel and Pritzker family fortune, was a key fundraiser for Barack Obama's presidential run in 2008. She’s the CEO of PSP Capital Partners and Pritzker Realty Group, and ranked in Forbes 400 list among the wealthiest in America. Also from the PERAB, Pritzker was one of the “elect members” of the president's Jobs Council, whom wears many liberal hats, including many prominent positions like the 2008 National Finance Chair of the Barack Obama for President campaign and co-chair of the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Committee, yet played a less significant role in Obama’s 2012 reelection.

 

Ms. Pritzker is related to the Telsa Motors $465 million loan and its 1500 jobs via the fact that –– besides Obama bundlers, big donors, and DOE insiders –– another Tesla investor is another billionaire Nicholas J. Pritzker, partner at Tao Ventures and senior development advisor for Hyatt Hotels Corp, also a donor to Obama and a cousin of Penny Pritzker –– both from Chicago.

 

Created under Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program (ATVM) –– not part of the 2009-Recovery Act –– holds authority to award up to $25 billion in direct loans, however, thus far the Obama administration has approved five loans worth $8.4 billion of taxpayer money.

 

In 2011, IWatch took notice into the DOE's "risky $1 billion bet on two politically-connected electric car builders," stating, “To date (2011), records show, more than 95 percent of applicants are still awaiting approval or have been rejected.” And that “both companies have political heavyweights behind them.”

 

This was a story had alluded to in 2010 and elaborated on in November 2012 –– “Cruising Down the Green Cronyism Road,” where I tracked the $8.4 billion of ATVM money to the "favored five." At that time, Marita Noon, energy columnist at Townhall.com  –– my cohort in exposing this massive Green Corruption scandal  –– and I were given an exclusive regarding XP Technologies, an ATVM applicant, which filed a lawsuit against the federal government citing “corruption and negligence.” Three have direct ties to the president: Telsa as well as Fisker Auto, which is an investment of another Jobs Council member, John Doerr (you can find my full report that I released a few weeks ago, “Bank of Obama: John Doerr and Al Gore of Kleiner Perkins, the Mother of All Green Energy Stimulus Money Winners.”)

 

The one that slipped through the cracks is the $50 million ATVM loan that went to Vehicle Production Group and is part of the “Beacon Bust Tied to Obama Bundler and VP Hunter, the Infamous Washington Fixture, James A. Johnson” narrative that I shared last summer. Meanwhile the other two, Ford Motor Co. and Nissan, were heavily engaged in negotiations with the Obama administration over fuel economy standards for model years 2012- 2016 at the time DOE was considering their applications."



The Telsa Tale

Weeks to go before the 2012 election, “the DOE restructured its $465 million loan to the electric-car company to make sure it didn’t run out of cash,” reported the National Review Online. And toward the end of 2012, things were looking bad for Telsa, “Given the ugly state of Tesla’s finances — and the company’s sky-high valuation: almost $4 billion — it will rank among the top candidates in Silicon Valley for a 2013 stock collapse, unless it receives significantly more cash next year,” says The Wall Street JournalMarket Watch. Thus Telsa made it on my 2012 Green Energy Failure Alert List (total at 52), and we'll keep watch to see where Telsa lands.

 

While Pritzker’s connection appears to be minute, the "Telsa Tale" is gigantic with an array of Democrat cronies, including big Venture Capitalists with close White House ties and a few former and current DOE Insiders.

 

Tesla’s founder and CEO, billionaire Elon Musk, "is a hearty political contributor who has primarily backed Democrats, including Obama." Musk has other companies that raked in millions of “green” tax dollars, and last December one of them became part of a trio of solar companies that are “under investigation for potentially inflating costs in order to draw down more money from a stimulus-funded loan program –– all three boast investors with significant ties to the Obama White House,” as reported by Lachlan Markay on the Heritage’s Foundry.

 

The one relevant to this Green Corruption account is SolarCity, of which Mr. Nick Pritzker is also an investor, and we’ll get to them in a bit.

 

Meanwhile Steve Spinner, former DOE Loan Programs Advisor (from April 2009 to September 2011) –– known for his role in the Solyndra saga, who made a special DNC 2012 cameo –– is a two-time Obama bundler, and was an advisor to Telsa before he joined the Obama camp. In the mix we find Steve Westly, former Telsa Board member, the Founder and Managing Partner of The Westly Group, a DOE Insider, and another Obama crony who made a DNC cameo. Tesla Motors prime backers also include a major fundraiser for Obama; Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are two more investors that pumped money into Tesla Motors. Later, Goldman Sachs, the number two 2008 Obama donor, with their DNA all over "green," handled the Tesla Motors IPO.

 

But in my “Bank of Obama” piece I laid out quite a few Venture Capitalists tied to Kleiner Perkins that snagged a string of loans, grants and special tax breaks for their clean energy investments –– noting how large percentage of portfolios won big green money. All have direct connections to President Obama in the form of bundlers, donors and special buddies, and two have also invested in Telsa; The Westly Group and Vantage Point Capital Partners.

 

However, the bigger story may not be found in a green car, but in solar panels…

 

The SolarCity Story

As I stated earlier, the same Telsa investors, Mr. Musk and Mr. Pritzker are also investors in SolarCity, while Elon Musk is the chairman of the board, and recently purchased a 20,000-square-foot estate in Bel Air for $17 million.

 

As reported by the Washington Post mid December, “SolarCitySunRun and Sungevity have received subpoenas from the Treasury Department’s office of inspector general for financial records to justify more than $500 million in federal grants and tax credits the firms tapped for performing work. The probe seeks to determine whether the companies accurately reported the market value of their costs when applying for federal reimbursement, which was calculated at one-third of the costs” –– a probe that started for SolarCity sometime in July 2012, and was confirmed via the filing of their initial public offering (IPO) in October 2012, of which "Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG and Bank of America Corp. led SolarCity’s IPO."

 

According to Fox News, “Together, the three companies reportedly have claimed more than $500 million in taxpayer support,” while SolarCity has applied for $341 million in grants. This was from the same program that I had written extensively about in my Big Wind story a few weeks ago, another green government cash freebie blowing out of the stimulus package. The 1603 Renewable Energy Grant Program –– a relative of the Production Tax Credit (PTC), and to date, the Treasury Department has doled out $16 billion, where approximately one-quarter has been shipped to foreign corporations, meanwhile the rest is fueling corporate welfare here in the United States as well as the egregious practice of crony capitalism running rampant in this administration.

 

What's not widely known is that SolarCity was a DOE loan applicant, seeking $275 million, and made it through the first phase. However, in the end (September 2011), it was rejected –– SolarCity said "The [Solyndra] scrutiny prompted the agency to request additional information," and apparently they couldn't get it done in time.

 

Ironically a month earlier (August 2011), this loan was a GO...

Inside the 10/31/12 House Oversight emails that I briefly highlighted when I touched upon BrightSource's billion-dollar DOE deal, in the 350+ page Appendix II we find a few email interactions in August 2011 regarding the SolarCity transaction.

  • Jonathan Silver, former Executive Director of the Loans Programs Office at the Department of Energy (from 2009, and resigned in early October 2011)
  • Peter O'Rourke: Senior Advisor to the Executive Director Loan Programs Office U.S. Department of Energy

O'Rourke writes to Silver –– subject: strong; dated August 2, 2011 –– "Matt said that Strong will not be eligible for 1703, per the WH and Poneman (Daniel B. Poneman is the Deputy Secretary of Energy since April 20, 2009)... this is going to be a disaster. They will delay so that we can't close by Sept 30, and it's not going to get 1703. I'm really uncomfortable with how this is being handled, from a reputation and other standpoints."

 

Two days later, O'Rourke writes again to Silver and cc's Matt Winters (Matthew Winters is the Department of Energy Policy Advisor) –– subject line: update –– "I've been told that the WH will call tomorrow and tell the DOE that Strong is a 'go' and should move as quickly as possible. Will believe it when see it."

That same day, Silver responds at 10:49PM, "Perhaps our additional efforts paid off. They can't hate us much more than they do. Its so much fun to end run them."

 

O'Rourke counters at 11:19 PM, "between you/Matt/s2 and SolarCity's major push, it was a very effective." NOTE: If S1 = Secretary Chu, then I'm assuming S2 = Poneman


The "Strong" referenced here is SolarCity's "Project SolarStrong™ –– "a plan to provide solar power to up to 120,000 military housing units, and create up to 300 megawatts of solar generation capacity." However, in November 2011, "Armed with the documentation and rationale for this project, SolarCity found a willing partner in Bank of America for $350 million" (Bank of America/Merrill Lynch were both on the 2008 Obama Top Donors list).  The bailed out bank –– bogus bonuses and all, Bank of America is "the second biggest recipient of federal assistance, which racked up $336.1 billion in federal help," recently revealed by CNBC. However, what most don't know is that Bank of America also has quite a few "green" project winners in their vault as well, of which I had alluded to in May 2012, but there is much more to tell.

 

While SolarCity's $275 million DOE deal fell apart due to the 2011 Solyndra "red flags," we do know that as of December 2012, "SolarCity currently benefits from tax credits totaling as much as 30 percent of the cost of these systems," notes Bloomberg. Moreover, as documented, SolarCity has applied for $341 million in grants, but I found 27 1603 grants for "USB SolarCity Master Tenant," which ranges over 15 states, totaling over $88 million. With this type of tally, it's difficult to say exactly how much tax-free cash SolarCity has received or will be given in the future.

 

Prior to entering the federal probe spotlight, SolarCity had already lined up hundreds of millions in solar funds from investors and various partnerships, which are big players in this green-energy scheme. Besides Bank of America's November 2011 entry, and sometime before July 2010, former vice president and future first "carbon billionaire" Al Gore's firm Generation Investment Management LLP became part of the SolarCity family.

 

Later, in February 2011, Citi "jumped solidly into the residential solar installation market by agreeing to back $40 million in solar installations by SolarCity." In between, SolarCity has developed partnerships with a few other stimulus winners like PG& EGoogle, San Jose's GreenWaste Recovery, and they even teamed up with Telsa (along with an $800,000 California grant).
Enter in another liberal billionaire bigwig to the list of SolarCity kin...

 

In February 2012, Silver Lake Kraftwerk and others invested $81 million into the California solar firm SolarCity, which is significant to this Green Corruption series. Silver Lake is the VC firm of billionaire liberal financier George Soros (mentioned earlier under NRG Energy) that "employs former Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency Cathy Zoi, who oversaw the disbursement of more than $30 billion in green energy stimulus funds in her Department of Energy post" at the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) –– a post which began in April 2009, and later she was briefly Acting Undersecretary for Energy, yet in March 2011, she jumped the DOE ship to work for Soros.

 

Zoi, an Al Gore acolyte, is reportedly on the shortlist to replace "$8 a gallon gas" Energy Secretary Stephen Chu –– a resignation that was publicly announced last Friday, yet rumors have emerged tagging a very disturbing list to replace Chu that would make your head spin. Besides Zoi, other Green Corruption villains floating around are Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers, Center for American Progress President John Podesta, Lewis Hay of NextEra Energy, Kathleen McGinty, another protégé of of Al Gore, a director at NRG Energy, and so on.

 

While Zoi's time at the DOE was tainted with quite a few "conflicts of interest," there are at least a dozen current and former DOE Insiders that are affiliated with winners of green money, and I've exposed about half so far –– a huge piece of the Green Corruption scandal in the works. What’s relevant to our “jobs council” part is the fact that Citigroup is also a major SolarCity investor –– a Big Bank that was the #7 top Obama donor in 2008 and the fact that Obama is close buddies with quite a few former Citigroup executives.

 

Lachlan Markay notes, “Michael Froman, a close college friend of Obama’s, managed Citi’s alternative investment portfolio until he left for a top White House post in 2009. Froman was key to the President’s 2008 election effort, connecting him with major donors in New York’s financial industry. Froman also served on Obama’s 2008 transition team.” But we have another member of Obama’s expired jobs council to report on, Richard Dean "Dick" Parsons, Former Chairman of the Board of Citigroup, Inc. (from 2009 until he announced stepping down in March 2012).

 

Moreover, President Obama's choice to replace Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary has been quite amusing with Breitbart News recently pointing out the absurdity, “Jack Lew, a man who in 2009 bagged a $950,000 bonus after his bank, Citigroup, received billions in a taxpayer-funded bailout." And it looks like my calculations for Citi was way off, where in my opening of this series I had stated, “the "Too Big to Fail" Citigroup, a TARP recipient received $45 billion in government bailout funds.” But CNBC tells a different story, and recently announced them as the number one Big Bank to snag federal aid, “In total, Citigroup received $476.2 billion in cash and guarantees."

 

While President Obama decries the "fat cats," it’s obvious to any informed citizen, he’s full of “hot air,” not only by rewarding them for failure like Citi and Bank of America as well as his jobs council, the president is using clean energy as a means to payback his bundlers, mega-donors, and supporters. Doubling down on hypocrisy, “Obama, who long cast himself as an ardent opponent of big money in politics,” is when he unleashed his recycled political machine in mid January. " The president and his allies declared it would be powered by grassroots activists and change politics from outside Washington,” yet, “In its first days, Organizing for Action has closely affiliated itself with insider liberal organizations funded by mega-donors like George Soros and corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Citi and Duke Energy,” writes Politico.

 

In closing Part Four of "Spreading the Wealth to Obama's Ultra-Rich Jobs Council," we can confirm that Ms. Pritzker's –– via her cousin “Nick'" –– Green Tab is close to $1 billion for just two projects –– that we know of, and SolarCity is a confirmed stimulus winner. This is further evidence that this so-called jobs advisory panel has their hands in the green cookie jar, and the only commerce transpiring is for the wealthy that have friends and relatives in high places –– those with political access and influence.

 

Stay tuned for Part Five, the final installment, where we take a look at Richard Dean "Dick" Parsons, Former Chairman of the Board of Citigroup, Inc. (from 2009 until he announced stepping down in March 2012), who is also part of this multimillionaires club. Citigroup, like Goldman Sachs, was a top Obama donor, has close ties to the president, and holds key positions inside the White House –– has their DNA all over this green-energy scheme. I’ve tracked four large clean energy projects that have snagged huge amounts of stimulus funds, but in the meantime here is a recap of the Jobs Council's clean-energy dirt.

  • Part One: Job Czar Jeffrey Immelt –– 10/31/12 DOE Emails Prove White House Pressure on $1.3 Billion Loan to General Electric Wind Project / Green Tab: at least $3 Billion, the majority from stimulus funds 
  • Part Two: Bank of Obama: John Doerr and Al Gore of Kleiner Perkins, The Mother of All Green Energy Stimulus Money Winners / Green Tab: Tied to $10 Billion, the majority from stimulus funds 
  • Part Three: Lewis Hay CEO of NextEra Energy profiting off of various loans, grants and other energy subsidies –– Big Wind Energy Subsidies: A Hurricane of Carnage, Cronyism and Corruption / Stimulus Green Tab: at least $3 Billion

A Message to All Americans

A Message to all Americans

These are excerpts from a longer document that addresses the CRISIS we all face.

You must have heard of the “Fiscal Cliff”. But there is a worse, more final, problem.

That problem is the Debt Canyon…. And the walls are ready to cave in on us!

 

Our National Debt is just about $16 Trillion and our population about 314 Million.

Do your math. That calculates to almost $51,000 EACH.

For a family of 4 ….. you are carrying about $204,000 of federal debt

 

But ,  WAIT….. there’s more! Government is ADDING debt at $1 Trillion per year.

In four years, our Debt will be $20 Trillion (assuming we can still find lenders)

That translates to $63,245 per person and $253,000 per family.

Ooops… DOUBLE those…. Only half of us are paying: $408,000 going to $506,000.

Up $100,000 in just four years.

 

Do YOU have that kind of $$$.

If you are trying to save for retirement, forget it.

Your Government is giving it away faster than you can save it!

 

Fixing this problem does not take PhD Economists or Rocket Scientists.

It takes fortitude….. guts!

 

The answer is………………..STOP DIGGING!

 

Please read my Debt Reduction Initiative (DRI, PDF attached) and take an ACTION Assignment.

Promise me you will……….TAKE ACTION

  1. Share this with EVERYBODY in your email address book
  2. Commit to personally supporting and voting for the DRI
  3. Call your “politicians”… tell them to STOP DIGGING… STOP SPENDING
  4. Use the sample letter in the DRI….WRITE to your politicians
  5. TALK about this to your children, friends, neighbors… I know…”we don’t”… BUT
  6. Twitter, Blog, Facebook it… RECRUIT the ARMY we need to SAVE America

 

After almost a century of persistent overspending by our Government is it time for a new paradigm.

The new paradigm is: Deficit – OUT….. Surplus – IN …. DEBT – DOWN!         

 

But the Deficit/Debt Reduction Initiative (DRI) is simple…. One page!

….  less than 4 years to Active DEBT Reduction. We do not need 10 years to partial DEFICIT Reduction

 

Read the attached PDF. Then send your letters and make your telephone calls!

Who's Buying Up All The Ammo?



Marlin Firearms is closing its doors! This needs to be spread to all gun owners

and sportsmen/women. We cannot rely on the mediato inform us of these

types of matters.


Something you May Not Know That Is Happening ... Who is buying companies,

manufacturing guns??? For the last several years a company called The

Freedom Group has been buying up gun and ammunition manufacturers. Some

of the companies are Bushmaster, Marlin, Remington, DPMS, Dakota Arms and

H&R. Some people worry that this Freedom Group is going to control

most of the firearms companies in the United States . If you control the

manufacturers you can decide to stop selling to civilians.


What a perfect way to control guns. Now if you do some digging you will see that

The Freedom Group is owned by a company called Cerberus Capital Management. Guess who

controls Cerberus??? GEORGE SOROS, Obama's chief financier!! He

wants to restrict or ban all civilian guns. Please pass this on to all

your freedom loving friends. This needs to come out. Why have we

not heard about this in the "mainstream"media? I would think this would

be BIG news. (Soros also owns Progressive insurance). If you don't know who George Soros


is, you need to do some Research. He backed Obama with millions of dollars and Obama is a puppet on a


string controlled by Soros.


There is a new law that makes it illegal to protest in a place where the FBI is on duty ( they

can take this law and make anyone a felon ). If you break this law it is a felony, which makes it

illegal for the person charged own a gun . They are taking our rights one by one. Why are we allowing this to happen ?  We have to stop big government before it?s to late !!!! 

 

Stand up America and be heard !!!!!!!!

4063627637?profile=originalElectoral College Reform would have given America a Better Election Day Result For the Nation

Presidents Day is nearing and conservatives will have something to celebrate that day four years from now when the Electoral College is returned to the voters. Currently, there is a movement in motion in several key presidential electoral battle ground states to return constitutional selection of the president to the voters by using congressional district selection of Electoral College electors. This move would even the playing field in presidential campaigns, to be more reflective of the true will of the people of a state, instead of voters being held hostage by the large urban population centers.

Large urban centers typically out vote the majority of congressional district by stealing votes in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Chicago. This results in state winner-take all electoral votes swinging unfairly and even illegally to a candidate like Barack Obama. In 2008 and 2012, Obama’s Chicago-style thuggish election machine worked to intimidate, manipulate and otherwise steal a presidential election in dozens of precincts in urban areas with impunity.

This process has created a false narrative that America has chosen a left-leaning socialist agenda that gives permission for citizens to be stripped of their Second Amendment gun rights, or states being forced to stand down against illegal aliens taking their health care, jobs and now their rights.

The solution has been clear for many years, and states like Nevada and Maine have already set the pathway toward a more balanced true representation of a state. They have initiated congressional district selection of presidential electors. In these states citizens can select their presidential candidate of choice, without being held hostage to the will of another congressional district or districts.

Currently, there are several states that have launched efforts to create a more fair and balanced Electoral College initiative. Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and Florida are some that are entertaining the idea. Yet their governors are showing timidity in fully embracing this patriotic concept.

Michigan’s governor, Rick Snyder who is up for re-election in 2014, had previously suggested his consideration for the move for voting fairness. Now, according to TPM, he is backing away.

If Snyder and a few other Republican governors are appearing weak in the knees about restoring electoral power to the state voters, this is probably the best time to know this. It gives the conservatives, the Tea Party and other like-minded voters the opportunity to put them on notice: No support for voter rights – No re-election!

Why is this crucial? Think about how the presidential election would have been turned on its head. Obama would have been shown the White House door, if the will of the people had been truly expressed by each congressional district!

REMEMBER BENGHAZI

When America came under attack, Obama panicked and froze.
When Americans under his direction pleaded for their lives, he was afraid to pull the trigger.
Here’s the emerging picture.
White House Ordered Military and CIA to Stand Down and Let Al Qaeda Kill
Former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty, so disgusted by the White House’s refusal to help Americans under attack, defied an order to stand down. The heroes died after hours of valiant fighting against overwhelming odds. Woods and Doherty died doing what Barack Obama was politically afraid to order. Ty Woods and Glen Doherty laid down their lives for fellow Americans in violation of cowardly orders from the President of the United States to let Chris Stevens and Sean Smith die.
Two SEALs made the decision to ignore Washington’s cowardly order to “stand down” and let al Qaeda rape and pillage the US Consulate in Benghazi. Ty Woods and Glen Doherty moved in on the attack. Woods’s father’s not surprised:

This news that he disobeyed his orders does not surprise me. My son was an American hero. And he was going–he had the moral strength to do what was right. Even if that would professionally cost him his job. Even if it would potentially cost him his life. He was a hero who was willing to do whatever was necessary to respond to their cries for help.

The White House then leaked the story that Woods died because he disobeyed a direct order. Obama’s reasoning for the leak was that Americans would turn against Woods and Doherty for the infraction. But Obama doesn’t know very much about the American mind.
Americans revere men and women who break the rules to do what’s right. We honor as heroes those who will risk career and life to save others, and to save America’s honor and prestige. The entire American Revolution was a violation of rules. The Boston Tea Party was a major felony.
When leadership fails, we expect new leaders to emerge. Ty Woods and Glen Doherty emerged as heroes because they violated the unconscionable, cowardly orders of an unfit President.
White House Ordered the Illegal Arrest of the anti-Mohammed Filmmaker
Almost immediately after the story broke, the White House invented “Muslim Rage” over a YouTube video to cover the President’s failure. To a degree, it worked. Muslims throughout the Middle East took to the streets to protest in response to Barack Obama’s instigation.
But let’s be clear about this: the Muslim rage was fomented by Barack Obama, not by a video.
And the President had his scapegoat arrested until after the election. According to Front Page Magazine:

The father of Tyrone Woods, the ex-Navy SEAL killed in Benghazi, met with Obama and Clinton. And he reports that Clinton told him that they were going to “arrest and prosecute” the man behind the Mohammed movie.
There would be no reason for Clinton to have that information unless the decision did not come from the level of the Federal prosecutor in California, thousands of miles away, but from the White House and the State Department. That makes this a political prosecution and a direct attack by the government on Freedom of Speech by Obama and Hillary Clinton.

So frightened by his own failure to help dying Americans, Barack Obama took to the last refuge of a dictator, rounding up political prisoners to serve as scapegoats. Mark Basseley Youssef, the filmmaker, is Barack Obama’s Alfred Drefus.
White House and Leon Panetta Lied
Leon Panetta told reporters that the US military lacked the means and intelligence to intervene during the Benghazi attack.
He lied.

We also learned that, in those first moments of the attack, a request for military back-up was made by U.S. staff on the ground but was denied by Washington. It had planes and Special Forces less than 500 miles away in southern Italy – or about the same distance as Washington to Boston. They could have been there in less than two hours. Yet the commander-in-chief declined to give the order.

Barack Obama let Americans die because he wanted to be re-elected.
White House Attempts to Blame Cowardly Orders on CIA. Petreaus Turns on Obama
Yesterday’s White House story was that the CIA ordered Ty Woods and his security crew to stand down and let Chris Stevens die. Obama expected CIA chief, David Petreaus, to be a good German soldier and back-up the lie.
Petreaus refused to accept the White House smear. In a statement, Petreaus refuted Obama, saying, “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”
Obama will fire Petreaus, of course, and replace him with some incompetent but loyal apparatchik. Undoubtedly, Obama’s Ministry of Propaganda will leak lies about some hideous flaw in Petreaus’s character. That’s what dictators do.
Americans Must Right These Wrongs
The people of the United States must right five wrongs. (Six if you count electing Barack Obama in the first place.)
1.  Obama failed to protect Americans sent into harms way.
2. Obama failed to respond to pleas from Americans under attack when he had the means to do so.
3. Obama jailed a man for his political beliefs.
4. Obama lied to cover up his deadly failures.
5. Obama attempted to smear the true heroes of this affair.
When the President fails, his board of directors fails, too. And we are the President’s board.

Crime, Killing, Government

Crime, Killing, Government

Our politicians are proud of their “actions”

They kick the can down the road to avoid issues

They grapple over sand pebbles while boulders are thundering down

In short, they are into minutiae.

 

In their struggles to make America safer they are tackling , perhaps,

the least urgent item from a long list… Banning Guns.

They need to learn about the Pareto Principle…. You know 80%  results from 20% of the problems.

They need to study this chart. Then re-think their priorities.

Does this suggest some different actions?

To SAVE Lives they need to start crushing boulders and stop sifting sand pebbles

through their legislative toys.

Please share this widely; especially with your "politicians

Sex Religion Government

Sex Religion Government

This is, for sure, a dangerous, delicate, troika.

But, to totally understand just how dangerous, we first recall Cicero.

“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child”

Aha, some history.

Our Founders made it clear that Government should keep its nose out of Religion; yours, mine, ours

 = = = = = =

The First Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion.

 = = = = = =

So, THAT is settled!...KEEP YOUR NOSES OUT OF RELIGION!

 

I’ve not found any specific references to sex in the Declaration, The Constitution, or the Amendments.

They could have made specific instructions to the Government like….

Keep your nose out of sex…. Keep your nose out of sex…. Yours, mine, ours.

But they didn’t. So we are left wondering.

Perhaps they should have said ….. Keep your nose out of sex…. Yours, mine, ours.

They didn’t. But simple WISDOM would counsel Government………..

Keep your nose out of sex…. Yours, mine, ours.

 

Regardless , they didn’t. And now we have Obama plunging the Government deep into the abyss of Sex and Religion and Government

Obama, his ego unchecked, brought us FREE Contraceptives for promiscuous co-eds.

He challenged Congress and even found the nympho Fluke to front for him.

 

He started by putting her in front of congressional committee, begging for pre-paid contraceptives for her promiscuity.

That didn’t go over well…. and Obama was inundated with Letters, Faxes, Petitions , and Lawsuits.

 

He divined the  unfavorable (for him) outcome and offered to negotiate.

His negotiation stance was typical nobummer………

 

I’m here to negotiate… My Position is FIXED…. What can you offer me?

Big Fx*king deal… as his VP once uttered!

 

His first “offering” was……….

OK…. Churches don’t have to provide “FREE” contraceptives; the Insurance Companies will.

 

Well,………… we need a divert at this point.

Obama approaches “negotiation” from a false premise………

= = = =  = = = =

His announcement is, nonetheless, ….Let’s Negotiate

His Negotiation strategy is……….

I’ve got my position………what are you willing to give.

 

 

  • Obama jams it thru in obamacare
  • When challenged by public opinion and lawsuits about Churches having to pay,
    • Obama saved the day….. he “negotiated” a compromise by pawning the costs off onto insurance companies
    • NEVER did he “negotiate” the issue of ..” FREE Contraceptives for Women.”
    • NEVER was it debated that Insurance Companies would just roll their new costs into higher premiums ( plus profits)
    • When challenged again, from “affiliated” religious groups ( Colleges, Hospitals, Soup Kitchens)
      • He saved the day….by insisting that insurance Companies provide, but get reimbursed costs from the Gov’t
      • NEVER did he “negotiate” the issue of ..” FREE Contraceptives for Women.”
      • Never did he admit that such practice puts the burden of “free contraceptives for promiscuous females “on my tab”!

 

  • …but… in his PC world, I’m offended.
    • Not only “PCwise”, but he invaded my Religious freedom.
    • Now I have to pay, via higher taxes (where else is he going to get the $$$ ?)
    • Just because I don’t  have the $$$$$$ to hire a Lobby to grease him, I get stuck
    • AGAINST my religious beliefs!
    • …and …. I am offended!
    • …and I DO NOT want  to pay for Flukes condoms!

Now, where is Obama vs. GOD?

IF GOD wanted “no-baby” sex he would have………..

Designed the Menstrual Cycle to be Quarterly or Annual vs. monthly

…. Or he would have bellies change to day-glow-red during ovulation.

 

So we are left with ….. Obama vs. GOD

My message to obummer

Get outta Dodge!

Take a hike!

I hope they sue every last one of your condoms away!

Ooooops….got carried away…. I really don’t want anymore nobammas or Flukes.

I hope they sue his shorts off!

Can anybody HELP ME?

Recipe for a great United States.

 

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson.

 

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.  Edmund Burke.

 

Honorable Patriots:

               

We have a few things which need to be accomplished before we all become true American Patriots.  I have listed some of them in the text below.  Before I can align with any organization or individual, these things MUST become reality.  I am an armed conservative American Patriot, and there is no room for negotiation.  Negotiation is just a way to procrastinate and change the subject at hand.   We are facing a financial, racial, civil, and world war.  Unless these things are implemented, The United States will implode.

 

01 Impeach “President” Obama and incarcerate or deport him.  He is aligned with the Union bosses and other big money special interest groups.  He is a Muslim and Islam has declared war on the United States – what is the reason for putting our enemy in charge of our country and military?  He has been proven to have ties with the terrorist matrix so everything he knows, our enemy knows as well.  He entered the country and went to college under an assumed name and illegal passport.  He is not even an American Citizen.  He has increased the Federal deficit more than all other Presidents combined.  Obama’s, Liberal’s, and far left Democrat’s agenda is to bring us down from within and make the citizens subjects of a Marxist Dictatorship rather than free men represented by honest men who have our best interests at heart.  He ignores the constitution, Congress, The Bill Of Rights, and the people.  He lies to the American citizens on a regular basis.  I could go on and on, but the heart of the matter is that he is neither eligible, fit, nor has the morals to be “President”.  He has the morals of a goat.  Repeal all changes to our constitution, laws, personnel, and Obama care – null and void since he has been in power.

 

02 Disband and make illegal the Unions which are murdering thieves and Electoral College – elect State and federal officials by popular vote only.  They buy the Presidency with big money in return for legislation which benefits them making voting a joke.   Big money, The Union Bosses, other big money interest groups, and foreign factions are running our country.  If the unions were not in power Americans would pay at least 1/3 less for what they buy.  It all goes to the bottom line.

 

03 Replace the Supreme Court with honest, educated, and unbuyable Judges which are not placed there by bribery and greed.  Existing and future corruption must be eliminated.

 

04 Close and defend all the borders to all immigration, patrol the Mexican border with Apache and Cobra helicopters – illegals make good fertilizer, and deport all illegals and Muslims – again, Islam has declared war on the United States.  Let no one in on incoming aircraft or watercraft that is not a legal American Citizen or official envoy.  This would help stop the influx of undesirables and terrorists.

 

05 Eliminate all forms of gun control.  Criminals do not acquire guns at a legal store but in the black market.  Under gun control, the only people with firearms would be criminals and the Military leaving the citizens defenseless and easily overrun by the Feds. or other potential enemies.

 

06 We have an oil reserve from the Canadian border through Colorado but are not allowed to drill for it because of the “tree huggers” worries about environmental issues.  Oil companies now have technologies to prevent any environment damage.  Where would the Middle East be with no American dollar brought in by the purchase of oil?  That money could be used to reduce the deficit, and the price of fuel would plummet.

 

07 Audit Obama and find out where all the extra money, (over $70,000.00 a month), is coming from and find out where the missing trillions of dollars went.  Also audit the Fed. And treasury to find out where all the money is wasted and if there is any gold which belongs to us in Fort Knox, and if any is missing, where did it go.  Hold those responsible to trial and use punishment befitting the crime.  No favors or parole.

 

08 Legislate no special rights for queers and lesbians.  They can keep things to themselves and live by the same rights that those of us who know the difference between the sexes live by.

 

09 All Americans have the right to work without the bullying of the Unions or requirement to have a card to interfere with that right.  Legislate no laws to diminish those rights.

 

10 Sell no more of our land to the Chinese or any other foreign interests.  Buy back any land already sold or void the transaction and run them back home.

 

11 Vastly downsize Federal Government control and let the States take care of their own territory.  Use the money saved to reduce the deficit.

 

12 Stop printing extra currency to make things look better, it is but a ploy to fool the people and will eventually burst the financial balloon in the near future  We already have more paper out than we can back up which is devaluing the dollar.

 

13 Stop the ridiculous policy of making it illegal to mention the name of God or Jesus Christ or display Christian symbolisms and philosophy.  In God we Trust.

 

14 Stop the removal or defacing of Christian symbols or displays.  It is a crime against God and Country.

 

15 Stop using contractors to accomplish Government projects and recruit the unemployed and welfare individuals to accomplish the work free of Unions and at great financial savings which could be applied to the deficit.  The Federal Government got us where we are, now let’s see them get us out using apparently extinct common sense in Washington DC.

 

16 Tax highly the companies who outsource jobs to other countries and buy cheaply made foreign goods just for a high markup.

 

17 Freeze all taxes to the 2012 rate on the citizens who make less than $250,000.00 a year for the next four years and possibly extend it from there.

 

18 Stop paying Congressmen and all other Federal lawmakers after they leave office.  It is a job, not a career and make all Federal personnel subject to the same medical and social laws which the people they represent have to live with.

 

19 Freeze all Government wages indefinitely.  Any raises must go to the people and be approved by popular vote only.  The better they serve us, the more they will make.

 

20 Eliminate the concept that we work for you when the fact is that you work for us.

 

21 Take care of the elderly and disabled.  Why should they have to fear that the Government already spent their own Social Security money that they worked their whole lives for, and there will be no more deposits to their accounts?  The Government is stealing from the people.

 

22 Take care of our veterans.  They carry the horror of war and death the rest of their lives, yet we don’t thank them, help them reintegrate into society, or help them get jobs when they leave the Military.  It is an outrage!!

 

23 Eliminate all foreign aid.  What country comes to our aid when we have a disaster?  Let the bastards dig themselves out of the hole. The money which is covertly sent to other countries is just being used against us.  Use those billions on the deficit.

 

24 Ask our people to volunteer to vacation within our borders.  Why spend all that money into foreign economies?

 

25 WE THE PEOPLE ARE COMING AND WILL NOT COMPLY WITH THE OBAMA MAFIA, COUNT ON IT.

 

Respectfully submitted,

From Redstate.com

http://nation.foxnews.com/tea-party/2013/02/05/latest-red-state-how-tea-party-can-fight-back

Last Monday evening, I had the privilege and disappointment of speaking with yet another Tea Party group that had come to hear a message on How to Become a Force Multiplier.

I say it was a privilege to speak to this group (and others like it) because, as always, I found the group comprised of Americans concerned about the future direction of America and highly desirous to hear a message on how to save and restore it.

Yet, it was also a disappointment because, after nearly four years of this upstart movement—this “beautiful chaos” called the Tea Party Movement—after all the demonization by the institutional Left and its media apparatchik; the backstabbing by the Republican establishment; after millions of dollars of donations from large and small donors alike, last Monday’s group (like so many others) were largely unaware of the size of the behemoth we face and, worse, have never been given the basic tools necessary to lead a movement.

As a former mobilization coordinator for the other side, I was disappointed to meet yet another Tea Party group that, after nearly four years, had not even formed a committee to recruit more people into their ranks—something that is absolutely essential to building a movement. [Worse is the fact that, given the age of many Tea Party activists, attrition in the movement is a very real problem.]

While their naivete is not their fault, I was left wondering: Where has all the money gone from all the donations given to the legacy groups? Though it is, in many cases, too late now, why didn’t anyone teach these amateur leaders of a movement how to lead a movement?

It is for all of the above reasons, we (collectively) need to re-evaluate the direction of this hybrid movement called the Tea Party.

Each and every individual that remains associated with the Tea Party movement, needs to look closer at what has gone well and, more importantly, what hasn’t gone well with the Tea Party.

Below are recommendations, for your consideration, to help rebuild a movement that has been attacked (unjustly) by its enemies as well as its alleged “allies.”

Before you can begin to focus on How to Become A Force Multiplier, as I observed (again) last Monday, there must be a re-examination of the Tea Party and where it is going.

Let’s start with some basic needs:

Rebrand the Tea Party: Keep the mission, dump the name.

The Tea Party brand has been effectively destroyed. After three years of demonizing the Tea Party as ‘racist,’ ‘extremist,’ and ‘radical,’ the brand has become a cancer.

It is now a drag on the candidates it supports, with the Left (and GOP establishment types like Karl Rove) gleefully labeling conservative candidates as “outside the mainstream.”

In the meantime, while the Tea Party had once enjoyed 24% popularity, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, only 8% of Americans now identify themselves as members of the Tea Party.

While that is the lowest it has been in the three years, there is some positive news in that poll: Thirty percent of the poll’s participants do hold favorable views of the Tea Party. That is something to build on.

However, insofar as it has been branded and is now associated with negativism, the brand itself must change in order to build and grow again.

Note: Rebranding does not mean disbanding the movement. Instead, rebrand it—into a hundred (or a thousand) different brands.

Think ACORN.

After Andrew Breitbart, James O’Keefe, and Hannah Giles successfully exposed the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and its misdeeds, many thought ACORN disbanded and disappeared.

It did disband. However, it did not disappear.

Instead, like a hydra, ACORN has evolved into numerous other “community organizing” groups.

There has been a target on the big tent called the Tea Party, and the assaults have come from all sides–nearly destroying the tent and turning people away from the essential ideas that originally spawned the Tea Party: Fiscal Responsibility and limited government.

As a result, activists need to think differently.

One such way would be to break off into smaller, more mobile groups that are less identifiable, yet just as effective as the original army of activists once was.

Keep the mission, dump the name, go forth and multiply.

Retool the Movement

One of the major disadvantages of the Tea Party movement has been the unwillingness of certain legacy groups (as well as grassroots groups) to work together, to share technology, information, as well as on-the-ground efforts for GOTV.

In addition to the arrogance of the Republican establishment, everyone claims to have a better mousetrap, a better gadget and each poured money into their gadgets. A few worked, others famously didn’t.

One thing is certain: The Right has a technology deficit.

Leave the egos at the door and share a cup of coffee.

Before the 2014 mid-term elections become another lost cause—another lesson in just how far the Right’s GOTV  (that means Get Out The Vote) pales in comparison to the Left’s—there needs to be one of those ‘super-secret’ meetings among the legacy groups where technology can be demonstrated and chosen as the standard.

Frankly, donors (large and small) should withhold their monies until the legacy leaders, along with grassroots leaders have a kumbaya session to kiss and make up and come to an agreement to work together.  

If the Left could do it (again), so can the Right. [Note: There is a standing offer from an unnamed ex-union guy to bring the baseball bats if that helps move things along.]

Recruit to Build The Movement: Get over the ‘outrage’ and fight for a goal.

Even as you read this, there is a race against time that is occurring.

The Left is pushing for amnesty in order to have 8 million new Progressive voters.

Meanwhile, as noted above, many of the Tea Party groups (some independent and unaffiliated, others not) have never even formed a committee among its members to recruit more people into the movement.

To make matters worse, the Tea Party movement has an attrition problem called age.

All-too-often, Tea Party meeting attendees are grandparents fighting to save America’s future for their grandchildren. Yet, the grandchildren are nowhere to be found. Why?

If you’re fighting for your kids’ future, get your kids involved—and have them bring some friends.

More importantly, develop a formal plan and start recruiting.

Instead of sitting at your computer and passing along the latest ‘outrage of the day’ written by the chattering class (including yours truly), develop a simple set of goals to fight for, develop an action plan, and then execute it.

Move beyond the “Obama did it again…” emails and establish a mission and vision that your group stands for—one that can be articulated in messaging, that others will find appealing.

Then, develop a simple way to communicate your message to people of like mind. It’s called recruitment and really isn’t that difficult.

As I told the group last Monday, if 50 people recruited five people each, then you’d have 250 people. If each of them recruited five more, then you’d have 1250 and so on.

It’s called the Power of Five and it works for both building a movement and getting out the vote.

Re-Engage in the Fight

Obama won the election and the Left is diligently working (along with some on the Right) to reshape American politicsforever. Get over it.

Many people wrongly thought that common sense would permeate American electoral politics and Obama would be defeated. It didn’t happen.

The Left’s machine was bigger, better equipped and more finely tuned than many on the Right estimated. Mistakes were made, systems crash, people stayed home and Obama won.

Now, if people don’t get over their doldrums and re-engage soon, the 2014 mid-terms will come and go and the Democrats will have the House, the Senate, as well as the White House.

Right now, America has a $16.5 trillion debt and $122 trillion in unfunded liabilities.

While stocking up non-perishables is one way to deal with a bleak future, we must also not give up.

Getting off the couch and into our communities is necessary.

The other side has been doing a better job of it, but not all is lost.

Unlike the Left, there are no union treasuries to fund our activities, nor can we fight full time. However, with minimal dollars, and more focused collaboration, America can be restored.

If the Tea Party gets back to basics by rebranding, retooling, recruiting and re-engaging, it can and will Become a Force Multiplier.

Dear David: Conservatism For The Masses

4063658949?profile=originalMy middle child brother David is a great guy and a thinker. He has worked full-time in a factory for years, but coached little league football for several years growing to become Commissioner of the County Youth Football League. David has noticed America's cultural decline reflected in the attitudes of kids in his football programs – no fear or respect for authority. David is non political – does not listen to talk radio or watch Fox News. Thus, he does not connect the cultural decline to politics.


While my brother is extremely bright, I view David as being representative of the masses, so-called low-info-voters who reelected Obama despite his horrific record and crimes against freedom/the Constitution. Ironically, despite being ignorant of the term, David is very Conservative in his personal life.


So, this is my challenge. How do I help David (the masses) to understand that Liberalism is at the root of America's decline and that Conservatism is the solution?


Admittedly, my task is Herculean given that liberals control the media and are fully on board with Obama's plan to transform America into a country ruled by a socialist dictator. When David hears Obama's plans to take care of everyone, it all sounds fair, Christian and just. How do I get David to realize Obama is a pied piper playing a seductive tune leading us to hell?


Identify the dominant philosophy of a society and you can predict its future.” Ayn Rand

Obama and company are swiftly making socialism the dominant philosophy leading to the end of America's role as the Land of the Free. Far too many Americans believe individual rights and pursuits are evil. They hate the rich and believe it is morally correct for government to confiscate and redistribute their money.


Every major gift to the world was the outgrowth of someone trying to make a buck and/or a better life for themselves and their family. There is nothing evil about that. As a matter of fact, the Bible says, A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children... ” (Proverbs 13:22) This biblical goal will be impossible if Obama and his supporters have their way. They seek to take most of your kid's inheritance while you are alive and show up at your funeral to collect even more – death tax. Inheritance? Forget about it! This is yet another example of how liberal philosophy is incompatible with the Human Spirit and God.


4063659064?profile=originalWhen I worked for Westinghouse Broadcasting years ago, a fellow employee said the company should not earn a profit. He believed the business's sole purpose for existing should be to provide jobs. I was stunned. This is the crazy way liberals think. Interestingly, while this employee hated the rich, he was intrigued and envious of the trappings of the rich -- a trait which I have observed in many liberals.


While claiming to have superior compassion for the common man, liberals display a condescending superiority when dealing with common folks.


Another truth that liberals reject is when you pursue your dreams, you inevitably enrich the lives of others via jobs and opportunities. Capitalism is a good thing and it works.


Years ago, my buddy Jean Claude purchased an old house to transform into his family's dream home. I needed a job. Jean Claude hired me to work with his contractor. Thus, Jean Claude's pursuit of his dream blessed me with income.


Most Americans who are fortunate enough to have jobs are employed by small businesses - millions of Jean Claudes pursuing their dreams; blessing people with income and opportunities. And yet, somehow Obama and company have successfully demonized dreamers/entrepreneurs, portraying them as selfish SOBs who are not paying their fair share. “If you have a business, you didn't build it.” President Barack Obama


Truth is, the top ten percent of income earners in the United States pay almost half of the country’s total taxes. Half the country does not pay Federal income taxes. And yet, Obama relentlessly campaigns to inspire hatred for the rich, convincing the masses that the rich are screwing them.


One article will not educate my brother David to the virtues of Conservatism and the evils of Liberalism. I must stay diligent in my quest for the perfect approach that will cause David/the Masses to “see the light”.


On a positive note, for the first time, while watching a Christian TV network, David recently heard about Obama's attacks on Christianity. He was shocked. I thought, “Cool, David does not listen to Rush or watch Fox News however, he does watch Christian Broadcasting. Though his recent education is only a crack into his psyche, I am grateful.”


STOP THE PRESSES! Keep in mind folks, my black family almost worships Obama and traditionally votes democrat. I just received this AMAZING text from my brother, David.

I am done. I will never vote democrat again. I get it. I am buying a book by Star Parker called Uncle Sam's Plantation. U are right. Keep it up!”


Praise God!

To cure what ails our nation.

In a perfect world right is right, wrong is wrong and you let your conscience be your guild. If it feels wrong it probably is. In our present world wrong is right and there is no conscience. That’s what liberalism has given us.

I was talking with a friend recently who like me yearns for the good old days where children said “yes mama” and “no sir”.  They learned the good feeling from a job well done. Competition was encouraged for it helped make a person strive to do better.  To take what wasn’t yours, what you didn’t earn was shunned. Today children will disrespect an elder in a heart beat. A job done mediocre is not only acceptable but encouraged. Competition is discouraged for we don’t want anyone to feel bad because they didn’t try and to take a handout is expected. That’s what the cancer on our society called liberalism has done to us.

Today many in our society live on entitlements and believes the government owes them. JFK’s “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” has turned into a fable and now its “give me more”.

I read recently in the American Thinker that a study was done on one state that to do better than all the services offered, a family would have to have an income higher than $65K a year. With that in mind is anyone surprised that families continue to live in government provided housing, collecting government checks while watching their 50 inch plasma TV’s, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer all paid for by the American tax payers. Those fancy radical rims on their ride you see when they drive by, you the tax payer paid for. Government assistance is now a way of life for many and there is no incentive to get off it, in fact people are encouraged to not only stay on it but to help others also get on the welfare train. That is what the liberalism cancer has given us.

This cancer that ails our nation can easily be cured if we had lawmakers who would actually represent “we the people”. Government assistance should be just that, to assist a person who fell on hard times, not used as a way of life. If a person can afford to have that plasma TV then they don’t need government assistance. If a family can afford a TV and an xbox for each child then they don’t need government assistance. If a family can afford for each member to have their own cell phone then they don’t need government assistance. If a person can afford to use tobacco or alcohol then they don’t need government assistance.  If a person refuses a simple drug test then they don’t need government assistance.

We know what ails our nation and we know how things should be, yet how do we get there. The answer is actually simple yet hard at the same time. It takes a lot of effort on our part. We contact our elected officials and then we contact them some more. We make it where they start to know us on a first name basis and then we contact them some more. How hard is it to email them. How hard is it to call them toll free. How do they know what we the people wants if we don’t tell them.

We also show up at our children’s schools regularly and often. We attend the parent teachers meetings. We go to the school board meetings. We let the educators know that mediocre is not ok. That we will not accept them teaching our children liberalism and they will be replaced if they don’t do what is right.

And most importantly we talk to our friends. We talk with our coworkers. We talk to acquaintances. We get them involved with us in our fight to take back America from the liberals. This week alone I talked two people, online friends into joining the Tea Party. They couldn’t believe that it wasn’t the redneck cult the media made the Tea Party out to be but made up of people just like them who are sick and disgusted at what our nation has become.

There is a lot we need to be doing. There is a lot we should be doing and there is a lot we are not doing. What are yall waiting on?

Oppose Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense!

Let's write to the Senate (www.congress.org or contactingthecongress.org)

Dear Representative of We the People:

As a representative of We the People I am expecting you to oppose the appointment of Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense. He is ignorant of the true nature of Islam and of jihad (see below) and would betray his country. At his confirmation hearing he was unable to defend his past ignorant behavior and record (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iSza30iP6JQ) and showed himself to be uninterested in the truth, merely interested in playing politics. At this time of global jihad we need a Secretary of Defense who, at the very least, understands that war has been declared AGAINST the United States and who understands the nature of the enemy.

Qurân 9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Qurân 9:73 O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

Qurân 9:111 Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain.

Qurân 9:123 O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

Qurân 47:35 Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost.

Qur'an 48:29 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.

Sahih Muslim 33 The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer, and pay Zakat and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah.

Sahih al-Bukhari, Ch. 88 The Prophet said, “My livelihood is under the shade of my spear, and he who disobeys my orders will be humiliated by paying Jizya.

Sahih al-Bukhari 2797 The Prophet said, . . . By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then come back to life and then get martyred, and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred.

Sunan An-Nasa The Prophet said: “Whoever dies without having fought or having thought of fighting, he dies on one of the branches of hypocrisy.

Sunan Ibn Majah 2763 The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever meets Allah with no mark on him (as a result of fighting) in His cause, he will meet Him with a deficiency.

Sunan Ibn Majah 2794 It was narrated that Amr bin Abasah said: I came to the Prophet and said: ˜O Messenger of Allah, which Jihad is best? He said: (That of a man) whose blood is shed and his horse is wounded.
