WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.  To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.  He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83).

He is a devout Muslim... do not be fooled.

Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University ..
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.  Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.  Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.  Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).  Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.  What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.  Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?  Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.  It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.  Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.  They will kick-back hundreds of illions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.  The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."  Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?  Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?  Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.  His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.  Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.  Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America.  But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.  Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.  Stimulus and bailouts.  Where did all that money go?  It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.  It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.  It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could  be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).  A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).  All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.  The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.  The ends justify the means.  Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).  Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University
college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan ..

It has been my opinion that the Republican Party is grossly underestimating the Democrats and President Obama.

Boehner Blinks: America Loses!


By John W. Lillpop


House Speaker John Boehner has apparently decided that America’s financial problems are not that grave after all.

As reported in at the reference, in part:

“House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) abandoned efforts Saturday night to reach a comprehesive debt-reduction deal, telling President Obama that a mid-size package was the only politically possible alternative to avoid a first-ever default on the nation’s mounting national debt.

After speaking with Obama -- who is hosting a key meeting Sunday evening on steps forward on the debt issue -- Boehner issued the following statement:

“Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase.”
 

Good faith effort from the White House, Mr. Speaker?

Are you serious?

Exactly what flavor of Kool-Aid did Obama serve, sir?

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on WND.com-By Drew Zahn-On July 9, 2011:

Even before he was elected president, Barack Obama warned he would “bankrupt” the coal industry if necessary and purposefully spike Americans’ utility bills in order to force the nation into using less and cleaner forms of energy.

Now, industry partners warn, the White House is making good on that promise by issuing a new rule that will raise some Midwesterners’ electricity bills over 23 percent by 2016 and cost an estimated 1.44 million jobs by 2020.

Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized its new Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which requires coal companies to dramatically cut sulfur dioxide and nitrogen emissions – which the EPA says travel across state lines and contribute to ozone pollution – by 2014.

An astounding scam! See the full documentation of how your life could be changed by climate-related laws, taxes and regulations, in “Climategate”

The EPA claims the new rule will prevent 34,000 premature deaths, 15,000 heart attacks and 400,000 cases of asthma starting in 2014, which would amount to $280 billion a year in health benefits.

But according to the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, the White House plans, in combination with other new EPA rules, would be “among the most expensive ever imposed by the agency” and deal a devastating blow to both family budgets and the job market.

“The EPA is ignoring the cumulative economic damage new regulations will cause,” said Steve Miller, president and CEO of ACCCE, in a statement. “Our industry needs adequate time to install clean coal technologies to comply with new regulations. Unfortunately, EPA doesn’t seem to care.”

He continued, “We urge EPA to take a realistic look at the enormous impact of all the regulations they are considering and how those regulations affect families and businesses. In a time of high unemployment, we should be pursuing sensible policies that create jobs, not eliminate jobs.”

Miller’s assertions are based on a study conducted for the ACCCE by National Economic Research Associates.

The study details a dramatic leap in the number of coal plants that would need to be retired almost immediately to meet the EPA regulations, a consequent surge in natural gas prices to meet electricity demand, a loss of jobs at four times the pace of new energy job creation and a region-by-region projection of electricity costs through the year 2025.

The projections show the national average retail electricity price jumping 11.5 percent by 2016, with some states, like Kentucky and Tennessee, suffering a 23.5-percent spike.

The chart below details the projected increase:

{…}

The EPA contends the rules are needed for health purposes.

“No community should have to bear the burden of another community’s polluters or be powerless to prevent air pollution that leads to asthma, heart attacks and other harmful illnesses,” EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said earlier this week. “These Clean Air Act safeguards will help protect the health of millions of Americans and save lives by preventing smog and soot pollution from traveling hundreds of miles and contaminating the air they breathe.”

But Republicans in Congress are among those blasting what they claim are overly burdensome government regulations.

“This Administration proves time and time again that they [sic] just don’t understand how its actions crush jobs across the country,” Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said in a statement. “Today’s economically devastating rule is just the latest strike in the Administration’s ongoing war against traditional sources of American energy.”

All according to plan?

As WND reported, then-Sen. Barack Obama said in the Democratic primaries that the government should intentionally drive energy bills up through “price signals” in order to force Americans into more environmentally friendly choices.

In a Nov. 9, 2007, interview on Iowa Public Television’s “Iowa Press,” Obama said, “I think it is important for us to send some price signals to change behavior. You know, if electricity goes up, people start becoming more mindful of their electricity bill.”

EXAMPLE OF A CITIZEN LEGISLATOR

 

Mister Hice will need to run this time again, I am Praying that our district ( Woodall's 7th) will support him, then draft him for U. S. Senate.

 

 

EXAMPLE OF A CITIZEN LEGISLATOR
TIME TO GET YOUR CANDIDATE READY
WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN? SAME AS ESTABLISHED?

What would you say about a candidate who fought the infernal business COMPANY and won?
Well, there is one in particular. He did not get elected; he had to endure a runoff election.
JODIE HICE.
He ran in the 7th Congressional district of GA.
HIS ELECTION BUDGET; $10,000! HE ALMOST BEAT WOODARD BY A HAIR; ON TEN GRAND

Actually, we have one but the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN won the Primarie and run off in GA.

What would you say about a candidate who fought the infernal business and WON?
Well, there is one in particular. He did not get elected; he had to endure a runoff election.
JODIE HICE.
He ran in the 7th Congressional district of GA.
He founded the Ten Commandments “GA, INC”.
Raised right around $300,000 to defend against the ACLU lawsuit forcing removal of the Ten Commandments Display from Barrow County Court House.

He is the leader of the Alliance Defense Fund “Pulpit Initiative”
“The Myth of Separation of Church And State.

On Sept 28th, 2008, 33 Pastors across the country stood in the pulpit and challenged the IRS by endorsing candidates for public office and reclaiming Pastors’ constitutional right to speak the truth.
The IRS was backed down from the loss of tax exempts status and criminal sanctions if political issues and endorsements are delivered from the pulpit.
Issues such as Jobs, Health Care, Tax and Kill, Government Spending, National Defense, Life, Fair Tax, Constitution, The First Amendment, Religious Liberty, The Right to Bear Arms and Immigration are what this man is working for.
Every election should bring new candidates to their senses and ours.

Remember; there is a difference between PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS and ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS.
Some keep the New World Order in their sights , and some are WE-THE-PEOPLE ORIENTED

NAACP to CNN: You’re Racist!

Posted on Big Journalism-By P.J. Salvatore-On July 7, 2011:

From the group that turned “racist” into a joke and labeled independent black and white Americans as such for wanting to pay their own bills comes this:

“In a press release issued this morning, the NAACP condemned 24-hour cable news channel CNN for its recently announced prime time news lineup, calling the lack of diversity in its collection of news anchors a “glaring omission.”

“The NAACP is deeply concerned with the lack of African American journalists in prime time news, both on cable and national news shows,” NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in the statement. “We have come to expect this from the likes of Fox News, but not other networks. While we understand that news is now a 24-hour cycle, most Americans get their news from the morning and evening prime time broadcasts.”

Again, says a group whose membership is strictly for one race. I’m the first to laugh and point at mainstream media, but the premise of this publicity stunt is devoid of logic. The NAACP assumes that CNN is barring black journalists as opposed to there not being enough black journalists ready and present for promotion to prime time. Did the NAACP take inventory of all the black people (or white, men and women) in the CNN newsroom?

If the NAACP is so concerned about diversity at the anchor desk, what are they doing to encourage that instead of taking the easy way out and bullying networks to garner themselves attention?

How does that help the black community when the group who claims to hold the patent on black rights advances more tantrums than black Americans?”

Posted on Floyd Report-By Ben Johnson-On July 9, 2011:

“Barack Obama’s threat to bypass Congress and raise the debt ceiling has stirred significant talk of impeachment — and not just on talk radio. A Republican Congressman has confirmed some of his colleagues are talking about initiating impeachment hearings. Scott Keyes of ThinkProgress.org asked Rep. Pete Olson of Texas: “Congressman Tim Scott of South Carolina yesterday in a town hall said if President Obama were to just ignore the debt ceiling, then he might be favoring bringing up articles of impeachment. Is that something that you’ve heard discussed much among your colleagues?” Olson replied, “A little bit.” Olson quickly pivoted to repeating talking points about the debt ceiling, so Think Progress’s Lee Fang followed up: “So Congressman Scott, is he just a lonely voice or are there a large number of people who are talking about this?” Olson answered, “He’s not a lonely voice.”

Congressman Olson’s statement confirms that a number of Congressmen are discussing a motion to remove Barack Obama from office.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u50cGxhECFI&feature=player_embedded

Tim Scott is not the first member of the present Congress to raise impeachment. In February, four-term Arizona Congressman Trent Franks told Keyes that he supported impeaching Obama, and possibly Attorney General Eric Holder, over their refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich have stated Obama’s unauthorized military intervention in Libya is an impeachable offense. Attorney Bruce Fein went so far as to draw up articles of impeachment on the matter.

While successfully campaigning to regain his old House seat in 2010, Michigan Republican Tim Walberg said the GOP must be willing to confront Obama “up to and including impeachment.” Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,American Family Radio Network talk show host Bryan Fischer, ACORN expert Matthew Vadum have called the DOMA dereliction impeachable.

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo and Constitution Party founder Howard Phillips have called for Obama’simpeachment for refusing to enforce border laws, among other grounds.

As long as Obama officials suggest flagrantly violating the Constitution, Republicans must conspicuously remind them of the price they will pay — and elect a leadership that will back it up.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted a12iggymom Blog-By America’s Survival-On July 8, 2011:

“Mr. Leal, convicted of murder during a sexual assault, had grossly incompetent legal representation. If he had been given access to a Mexican diplomat, he would have had a chance at better counsel and likely the opportunity to strike a plea deal, avoiding the death penalty.”


So said The New York Times in a June 17 editorial about convicted rapist-murderer Humberto Leal. Just before his execution, the Times quoted the Associated Press as saying, “In his last moments, Mr. Leal repeatedly said he was sorry, and shouted twice, ‘Viva Mexico!’”


What the AP reported was that he said, “I have hurt a lot of people. … I take full blame for everything. I am sorry for what I did.”

So, in other words, he was guilty as hell. But this had been proven beyond any doubt. Nevertheless, for Leal to shout this from his death-bed was extremely newsworthy and egg in the face of those in the media who had designed their coverage in a manner sympathetic to his well-deserved plight.

The Times story was headlined, “Mexican Citizen Is Executed as Justices Refuse to Step In.”

In fact, he was an illegal alien in the U.S., as the shouts of “Viva Mexico!” attest. He was executed in the U.S. not because he was here illegally, but because his crimes were committed here.

This is the killer that the Times wanted to be able to avoid the death penalty. His victim was a 16-year-old girl, Adria Sauceda. He raped and killed her, obliterating her face and head with a chunk of asphalt, and then left a large stick in her that he had used to sexually assault her.

The Obama Administration intervened to save his life, calling it a “stay of execution.” It wanted the Supreme Court to let him live at least until Congress decided to pass Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy’s bill, theConsular Notification Compliance Act. The copy of the bill on Leahy’s website didn’t even have a number, meaning that it was not a serious piece of legislation. Not even listed on the “legislation” page of Leahy’s website, it was subsequently assigned S. 1194 and has no co-sponsors.

Clearly, he introduced the bill in order to facilitate the activities of the left-wingers anxious to exploit the case for the purposes of creating a massive miscarriage of justice.

Incredibly, in a move that is even more questionable than the jury verdicts in the Casey Anthony case, the Obama Administration asked for the killer’s life to be spared so that the Supreme Court could preserve “its potential future jurisdiction” in the case. This is actually in the brief.

The Supreme Court ruled against Obama. It said that “€¦we are doubtful that it is ever appropriate to stay a lower court judgment in light of unenacted legislation. Our task is to rule on what the law is, not what it might eventually be.”


So why would the Obama Administration go to such drastic and absurd lengths to save the life of an illegal alien killer?

The answer provided by crime blogger Tina Trent, an advocate of victims’ rights, is that Obama’s constituency demanded it. This is the part of the story the Times, The Washington Post, and other liberal media refuse to tell.

These “progressives,” many funded by George Soros as part of the “anti-incarceration” movement, believe criminals are the real victims and that international law should supersede national law.

As Trent revealed, Leal’s attorney, Sandra Babcock, has been funded by the government of Mexico and works at Northwestern University Law School with former communist terrorist Bernardine Dohrn.


Dohrn had participated in a 2003 conference, sponsored by all of the major liberal groups, on how to force U.S. courts to use international law and U.N. treaties in place of laws passed by Congress and state legislatures.

Incredibly, the bomber Dohrn, a friend of Obama’s and former fundraiser for him, is now accepted by the progressive community as an advocate for families and children and spoke on this subject at the conference. They raised a child, Chesa Boudin, whose parents, fellow members of the Weather Underground, went to prison for murder. He became a cheerleader for the Hugo Chavez regime in Venezuela and took Dohrn and her husband, fellow terrorist Bill Ayers, on “educational” tours of Venezuela.

The treaty at issue in the Leal case had never been implemented by the Congress.

The Obama Administration argued that the treaty should be observed because legislation to implement it might be passed by Congress, even though the Leahy bill to do so, introduced on June 14, had no co-sponsors.

This would be comical were it not so tragic. It was a fraud on the courts.

One of the participants in that conference, with Dohrn, was Harold Koh, whose name appears on the cover of the Obama brief in the Leal case. Koh is now the State Department legal adviser.

The story is not a “Mexican national” being executed in violation of a treaty that has never been implemented. That is a bad enough version of the story. The story is that the “progressive” community, with some Republican dupes, wanted to have the courts implement a treaty, in the absence of congressional action, so that international lawyers and their media allies could use Leal to press their ultimate objective €”abolition of the death penalty in the U.S.

I wrote about this campaign over 10 years ago, in a report entitled, “Saving the Lives of Killers, Traitors, and Spies.”

And yet the Supreme Court rejected this ploy only by a 5-4 vote. This is as shocking as Leal’s in-your-face acknowledgement of his crimes and tribute to Mexico.

I. Obama Tells Supreme Court To Stop Execution of Mexican Murderer!

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on Examiner.com-By Jim Kouri, Law Enforcement Examiner-On July 7, 2011:

“As per a Mexican government directive, Obama wants Texas to stop this week’s scheduled execution of 38-year-old Humberto Leal, who was convicted nearly two decades ago and has lost a myriad of appeals. Leal has lived in the U.S. illegally since he was a toddler and in 1994 kidnapped, raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio.

In a political maneuver following the receipt of the Mexican government’s “written orders,” President Barack Obama asked U.S. Supreme Court justices to halt the execution of an illegal immigrant convicted of bludgeoning, raping and murdering a teenage girl because it would do “irreparable harm” to U.S. interests abroad.

Mexico has no death penalty and refuses to extradite criminals who flee the U.S. unless prosecutors assure they won’t seek capital punishment. Over the years a number of hardcore felons—including child murderers and rapists—who would ordinarily face death in the U.S. have fled south of the border. Mexican authorities only return them if prosecutors vow not to pursue death, according to a public-interest group that fights government corruption, Judicial Watch.

As per a Mexican government directive, Obama wants Texas to stop this week’s scheduled execution of 38-year-old Humberto Leal, who was convicted nearly two decades ago and has lost a myriad of appeals. Leal has lived in the U.S. illegally since he was a toddler and in 1994 kidnapped, raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl in San Antonio.

“Every American should be calling the White House and complaining about this typical left-wing response to justice. Obama and his ilk have no problem killing millions of unborn babies in America, but worry about executing a man who brutally raped then murdered a 16-year old kid,” said former NYPD detective Mike Snopes.

Besides opposing capital punishment, Mexican officials claim that Leal’s rights were violated because San Antonio police failed to tell him that, as a Mexican national, he could contact Mexico’s consular officials.

“In the early hours of May 21, 1994, 16-year-old Adria Sauceda and dozens of others attended a raucous Southside house party on Vincent Street, where witnesses reported seeing a dazed Sauceda — pumped full of alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana — pulled to the backyard. There she was stripped and circled by eight or nine men, each “taking turns” on the disoriented teenager. Friends who came to her aid were told to shut up, drink, and quit spoiling the party.

Humberto Leal later abducted this already brutally savaged teenager and raped her some more before finally ending your misery by crushing in her skull with a 35 lb chunk of asphalt. When police found her dead and ravaged body on the side of the dirt road where Leal left her, there was still a large stick that had a screw protruding from it that Leal left jammed up her lifeless body after he raped her with it.”

Ironically, the San Antonio Police Department has a don’t-ask-don’t-tell mandate forbidding officers from inquiring about suspects’ immigration status. Evidently the city’s sanctuary policy, backed by Mexico because it prevents racial profiling, hurt this particular illegal immigrant.  Police did not know the suspect was an illegal alien when he was arrested.

The bottom line remains that Leal confessed and powerful DNA evidence and witness testimony proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The illegal immigrant received great legal representation and got a fair trial, according to appellate decisions upholding the conviction. In fact, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that Leal was“overwhelmingly” guilty and that a new trial would only produce the same outcome.

Yet, the United States government is bending over for our neighbor to the south and has asked the nation’s highest court to delay the execution until Congress can enact legislation to save Leal and foreign nationals like him facing death.

The magic law, obviously crafted to appease Mexico, was introduced a few weeks ago by the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vermont Democrat Patrick “Leaky” Leahy. Leahy was dubbed “Leaky” when he had been removed from the Senate Intelligence Committee for leaking classified material regarding President Ronald Reagan’s fight against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

In a brief filed a few days ago by Obama’s solicitor general, the president asked the Supreme Court to stop Leal’s execution because it would cause “irreparable harm” to U.S. interest abroad and “would place the United States in irreparable breach of its international law obligation.”

This will lead to “serious repercussions for United States foreign relations, law-enforcement and other co-operation with Mexico, and the ability of American citizens traveling abroad to have the benefits of consular assistance in the event of detention,” according to the brief.

The White House filed the document and Democrats introduced legislation shortly after receiving a written mandate from Mexico. In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan demanded that the“U.S. government support Mr. Leal’s request for a stay of execution in the U.S. Supreme Court.”  Sarukhan also threatens to pull his country’s commitment to the U.S.-Mexico “bilateral agenda” if Leal dies and says another execution of a Mexican national will “undoubtedly affect public opinion in Mexico.”

A few days after receiving the Mexican directive, Clinton and Attorney General Eric Holder thanked Leahy in writing for his “extraordinary efforts to enact legislation” that could halt Leal’s execution and, in turn, offer an “essential legislative solution” to a bigger issue. In a three-page letter to Leahy, Clinton and Holder point out that his measure is “particularly important” to the nation’s “bilateral relationship with Mexico.”

How Does America Break Out of the Financial Crisis?

 

I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible.  America is faced with several looming problems that are preventing our recovery and are being largely ignored.  Much of it is not revealed or pursued because there are many folks making a lot of money over it!!  They are picking your pockets!

 

The first problem is the gusher of deficit dollars going overseas whether it is for oil, manufactured goods or US military spending.  Dollars leave at a much faster pace than they come in.  The trade deficit is on the order of $540 Billion dollars annually and that does not count the Military expenditures!!  By way of comparison our total manufacturing is $1,700 Billion annually.

 

The second problem is a lack of quality jobs, due in part to the mass exodus of manufacturing overseas.  Today we manufacture a little over 10% of what we consume.  That represents one of our greatest threats to national security.  We cannot fend for ourselves.  We have to trade with overseas partners to survive.

 

Third, is the fallacy of “stimulus” spending by the Government being able to always stimulate the economy.  When it is done in the form of rebates to the people or by way of tax cuts, then there is a strong chance it will stimulate spending and move the economy forward.  When it takes the form of creation of new government jobs, it actually stifles the economy, although the new employees are spending, they are either being paid through increased taxes or increased borrowing.  The former gives folks more money to spend and leaves them feeling better about the economy with an inclination toward spending more, but the latter leaves less, for everyone who pays taxes, to spend and injects caution or fear into their spending patterns with an inclination toward tightening the purse strings further (Where we find ourselves now).

 

Fourth is the Federal Reserve’s penchant for working deals behind closed doors, for printing dollars at will and for refusing to disclose what they are doing and who they are doing it with.  I can tell you, that they have been around 98 years and during that time the dollar has devalued 98%!  Some job of protecting the currency they are doing!

 

Fifth is the “Culture of Cowardice in the Congress”!  There is a great unwillingness to take the hard votes!  That’s why we can’t reduce spending, balance the budget, slow the deficit or reform our entitlement programs.  The individual Congressmen and Senators fear their campaign donors, the lobbyists, the threat of another Wall Street manufactured financial crisis, or the idea they might be blamed for another terrorist attack if they were to trim some dollars from the defense budget more than they fear “We the People”!  The two things the founders feared the most, a standing army and a large central bank, are what have consumed and devalued a tremendous number of dollars leaving us even less secure.  Meanwhile the Pentagon and the Federal Reserve remain un-audited!! 

 

To think that spending can be reined in, the budget balanced, the deficit reduced or entitlements reformed without putting the Defense budget under scrutiny is, at best, foolhardy.  In total when you consider the entire DOD related spending which includes the Pentagon Base Budget, New construction, Veterans Administration, DOD/Military retirement benefits, Nuclear program under DOE and other DOD administrative spending it accounts for nearly a third of the current total budget and a third of the budget represents deficit spending, or borrowed money.  To say current spending levels are unsustainable is a gross understatement.

 

There is no plan before the Congress today that can succeed.  Only measures that can be fully implemented during the current session of the Congress will be of lasting benefit.  Last year one of the battle cries was for the “Repeal Amendment”, this year another is for “Cut, Cap and Balance”…problem is, it is another multi year program, again!  You remember what happened to the former, it just sort of lost steam, as probably will the current plans.  Now honestly, do any of you really believe the Congress can embark on and stick to some grand multi year program to cut spending and reduce the budget?  We need to address some of the root problems, right now.

 

You can help implement the following commonsense five-point program to get America started down the road to recovery immediately, by making sure the Congress listens to and fears, “We the People” more than they fear the special interests!  Call (877)-762-8762 or email your Congressmen and Senators today and every day until they:

 

v    Drill Here and Drill Now!  For oil, natural gas and coal.

v    Bring Manufacturing Jobs Back to America! Rein in the EPA and Gang Green!

v    Audit the Federal Reserve and stop the devaluation of the dollar!

v    Audit the DOD/Pentagon and cut wasteful and duplicative spending.

v    Immediately cut back the “stimulus” programs that grew the Federal government.

 

Only if these points are implemented and realized can plans like the Balanced Budget Amendment (which will take several years to be ratified) be able to help succeed in restoring fiscal order and security in America.  We must begin treating the ailment instead of just relieving the symptoms, to ensure our long-term fiscal health!!

 

You know in your heart no matter how hard they massage the debt and spending, they will not succeed if they don’t implement the above commonsense measures.  Ignoring these points, which can all be implemented immediately, leaves the Congress on a fool’s errand.

 

Don’t expect many to be talking about these issues.  There are only a few, like Tom Coburn, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ron Paul, Alan West, Michele Bachmann and Frank Wolf along with a handful of others, with the courage to speak out and sponsor appropriate legislation.  To expect much more from most of the others would be like expecting a pickpocket to say “Hold still while I lift your wallet”!

 

Take your country back and restore financial security, starting today!  “Turn Up the Heat In Washington”; bring the “Fear Factor” to Capitol Hill.  Thank you, for all you do for Liberty.

Satire by John W. Lillpop


Thinking like an official of the Mexican government when it comes to illegal immigration to the U.S. requires that one abandon common sense and logic in total.

That reduced mental capacity would lead one to endorse the following immigration principles:


( ) There are NO valid borders between Mexico and the United States. In this age of progressive enlightenment, open borders reflects the new age of trust and reciprocity between the nations.

( ) Although there are no borders restricting migration from Mexico, prudence demands that the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican people be preserved.

Consequently, borders and border fences in southern Mexico are necessary to maintain our sovereignty and limit the dilution of our unique heritage by foreign interlopers.

( ) Mexico is a free and open society that welcomes diversity: We welcome the use of most dialects of Spanish in government, business, education, and medicine. Because English is the language of white racists, its use in strongly discouraged, especially around young children and the elderly.

( ) Mexican citizens unable to provide the bare necessities of life to their families have a patriotic duty to migrate to the U.S. where free welfare, housing, food, education, health care and other benefits are available.

( ) Legal migration to the United States is far too time-consuming and riddled with bureaucratic red tape for most Mexicans. Much of the paperwork is in English, which unnecessarily complicates legal migration even further.

( ) Given the fact that the U.S. immigration system is hopelessly broken, Mexicans desperately in need of
food, housing, education, and health care are urged (mandated) to sneak across the border and establish residency in one of the many Hispanic-majority cities and Sanctuary Cities that welcome undocumented refugees by the millions.

Government brochures, including detailed maps, names and phone numbers of DNC and ACLU offices, are available for free at any Mexican government office or on-line at mexinvasionofus.gov

( ) Those migrating illegally into America are advised to bring with them at least one late-term pregnant woman currently in, or about to be, in labor.

Upon delivery of a new born on American soil, or reasonably close thereto, the woman should immediately register the child as a U.S. citizen which will indemnify the entire family from deportation, and will open the door for other family members left in Mexico to migrate north.


( ) Mexicans planning to migrate illegally to United States are reminded that the U.S. is a racist, terrorist state that abuses minorities, especially brown people, with reckless abandon. When in danger, always find a local office of the Democrat Party or an ACLU office for help.

Do NOT seek help from the local police, most of whom are red-neck Tea Party bozos who foolishly believe that Arizona, Texas, California, and New Mexico are a part of the U.S. rather than Mexico.

( ) The Mexican government aggressively defends our citizens against abuse at the hands of racist, right-wing extremists. This effort is very expensive; thus, we encourage all patriotic Mexicans to send as much money back home as possible. Because most undocumented Mexicans will pay no taxes on their income, those savings should be the minimal amount sent home.

And there you have it: The Felipe Calderon welcome wagon kit for illegals headed north!

Ever since Charles Darwin published On the Origin of the Species in 1859, the theory of natural selection, religion’s supernatural creation of man theory has been a bone of contention. More lately, religion’s compromise to Intelligent Design is a softening stand, but not acceptable to the federal judiciary. It is not permitted to be taught in public schools.  For the most part, science disagrees with Intelligent Design.  

 

The idea that we came from monkeys is acceptable theory to roughly half of the American people, and is responsible for political division.  While I’m anti-religious, no way do I accept the silly notion that I came from monkeys.  If we came from monkeys, why are we the only species on the planet possessing reason and logic? It is just as ridiculous to say we are of supernatural creation. 

 

 In Cosmos and Psyche, from his thirty year research, Richard Tarnas determined that there is consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history. From the history of the past two thousand years, it may be determined that the world has been influenced largely by external factors, and oblivious of the internal part of us and the universe, namely the creation of heaven and earth. “And God said, Let us make man in our image” (Gen. 1:26). The ancient sages of India said so is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.  Therefore, do you say, the things I don’t know I’ll call supernatural, or do you say I’ll take apart the things I don’t know and examine them?  If you are religious, you take for granted the supernatural.  If you are not religious, what: Get out of my face?  This is what makes the world go around. There is a better answer, a new worldview. 

 

Religion’s theocratic notions are responsible for the current breakdown of order in the world, and for the complete course of human history, reason and logic be damned.  My philosophy has received, in four months, over 10,000 largely highly favorable comments from innovators all over the world on my Web site, www.mymiraclemessage.com. (for a cross section of response www.mymiraclemessage.com/?p=75 ) How could this be?  I’m a nobody and I know zip about promoting a Web site.  Psychologist Carl Jung called it synchronicity.  It goes with my territory. I’m Aquarius rising, a messenger for those who have come before us. In the Age of Aquarius, we are told, we become our brother’s keeper, the water-bearer spilling out the life-force, spiritual energy.

 

It is simply amazing how people blessed with reason and logic can read the scriptures and come up with notions that their interpretations leave all who don’t agree with them doomed to hellfire and damnation. Send others to hell? How ridiculous!  Blind faith is against one’s gift of reason and logic.  You don’t do unto others what you would not have them do unto you. The state of consciousness is the answer, how to get past current religious doctrines and dogmas, the big turn-off that limits conscious awareness, even turns us against our own kind. Common sense tells you this is not God’s will.  How do we get past this roadblock?

 

Again, it is simply amazing how people blessed with reason and logic can be so gullible as to believe they are entitled to the fruits of another’s labor, for instance, that they are entitled to health care, someone’s service or product.  We are entitled to the things that politicians say we are entitled to—and, we are not all entitled, only those politicians say are entitled!  Notice that the cost of whatever it is certain of us are government entitled to skyrockets in price, naturally, because the law of supply and demand doesn’t work. Government entitlements are bankrupting us and as yet nothing at all has been done about it. How do we get past that roadblock?

 

Politicians have been addressing the symptoms of the problems they created. On August 2, 2011, according to America’s Treasurer Geithner, America will default unless the President is given the $2.7 trillion he asks for, to pay the bills already there, and nothing much to cut costs.  In the first place, Geithner lies.  He has the income in tax revenue to pay the current bills.

 

Bankruptcy is my choice—simply wipe out all debts and start over with the original rules, everyone with equal opportunity and no government entitlements, the way it was when the American people had God-given rights and responsibilities. Rest assured my answer will never be government’s answer.   Government plans to reduce the national debt to a fraction of its present figure. You people who depend on yourselves will be left up a creek without a paddle.  For the good of all, government will give us hyperinflation, everyone under government control, including future generations. This would be the answer were it not for the fact that nature’s God has other plans. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

When President Obama officially leaves office on January 20, 2013 and passes the nearly-extinguished flame of American Exceptionalism to President-elect Mitt Romney and Vice-President-elect Sarah Palin, he will leave a legacy of blaming others for his dismal performance.

Truly, Barack Obama has been the Blame Others President.

For example, Obama spent the better part of two years blaming former President George W. Bush for everything from global warming to the putrid economy to Michelle’s ongoing struggle to eat carrot sticks rather than Tacos.

Now that the W. rag doll has been battered into oblivion, Obama has been forced to dig deeper to find situations and people to blame for the putrid economy and his persistent bungling of damn near everything that he sticks his nose into.

Obama’s blame game hit new lows on July 8 when the numbers for June showed an increase in the unemployment rate to 9.2 percent.

In trying to explain the alarming news, Barack Obama blamed Greece, Japan, high gas prices, uncertainty over the debt-ceiling issue, and natural disasters across the globe.

Not once did the president mention the anti-business climate that he and his administration have deliberately created. That would include the potentially devastating impact of ObamaCare; the prospect of recovery-killing higher taxes; and a plethora of new EPA regulations sure to stifle economic growth and cost jobs.

From this reporter’s perspective, Barack Obama needs to own up to his own failings.

A good, long, hard look into a mirror might go a long way toward helping Obama identify the culprit in this era of rising unemployment, out of control spending, and exploding federal deficits.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on Examiner.com-By Tom White, Richmond Political Buzz Examiner-On July 8, 2011:

In June 1995, the Virginia Board of Education approved Standards of Learning (SOL) in four core content areas - mathematics, science, English, and history and the social sciences - and in computer technology.

In September 1997, the Board of Education established new Standards for Accrediting Public Schools in Virginia (SOA) that link statewide accountability tests to the SOL and hold students, schools, and school divisions accountable for results.

The SOL’s set the minimum standards to ensure schools adequately prepare students for the future, a worthy endeavor indeed and deemed necessary due to the inconsistency of High School Graduates across the state. While many children received first class educations that left them well prepared for college or work, other schools turned out students who were functionally illiterate and unable to compete in either academia or the job market. Virginia’s SOL’s were designed to alleviate this problem.

Unfortunately, Standards of Learning can also be used as a tool by those with a political agenda to push their particular viewpoint, and the state mandates conformity with this way of thinking. The subject area with the greatest danger of falling prey to an ideological agenda is World History. And that is exactly where the Virginia Board of Education has begun a left wing indoctrination of Virginia’s children.

This is Part One of a three part series. We will first examine how the Board of Education has twisted the Virginia SOL’s to push Islam and the virtues of the religion while all other religions, including Christianity, America’s most popular religion, are moved far to the background. This report is not a reflection or indictment of Islam, nor is it a call for greater instruction in Christianity or any other religion. It is a call for objectivity in what we teach Virginia’s young minds. Perhaps some on the left feel that Islam has unfairly been given a bad name by horrific terrorist actions around the world, and there is truth to that thought, but it is neither the mission nor the responsibility of the Virginia Board of Education to correct this perception in the schools. Their job is only to accurately teach history, nothing more.

The second part of this report examines the vilification of America through the SOL’s as aggressors and imperialists causing problems around the world.

The third and final section will examine possible remedies to restore factual teaching without a political agenda in Virginia’s schools.

It seems  that Virginia Board of Education has hijacked the Virginia Standards of Learning as a tool to indoctrinate our children in Islam to the near exclusion of Christianity and all other religions. One need look no further than the first page of the 2008 Strikethrough Version History & Social Science Curriculum Framework to see the Virginia brand of Selective Secularism exhibited.

“Selective Secularism” is the belief  that all religion except Islam must be purged from any public document. Islam is exempted from this purge for fear of offending Muslims. And Islam deserves a bit of “Affirmative Action” because of terrorist acts around the world executed in the name of Islam. There is no doubt that Muslims that are good people, and good Americans. Generalized hatred of any religion for the actions of a few is simply wrong. To be clear, the villain here is not Islam or Muslims. The villain is the Virginia Department of Education and the misguided thinking that has gone into the creation of the Virginia Standards of Learning.

The Virginia Department of Education has clearly made an effort to revise history to suit a far left agenda and promote Islam through the Virginia Standards of Learning. This type of agenda driven education is not new, but it has accelerated to the point we must put a stop to this in favor of an honest and true view of history, and not one tainted through the prism of the left wing spin we have uncovered.

The very first page of the 2008 Strikethrough Version History & Social Science Curriculum Framework sets the tone for the rest of the document. The wonderful thing about a strikethrough version is that you can easily see what the document writers were thinking when they made the changes. The first victim was Christ as A.D. was changed to C.E. (Anno Domini > Common Era). “In the Year of our Lord” is now the Common Era. And B.C. – Before Christ is now B.C.E. or Before Common Era. This is nothing more than politically correct nonsense.

And it gets worse. The SOL’s have been used to create the text books Virginia students must study in order to pass.

Pro-Islamic Discrimination in Virginia's High School History Texts:

The pro-Islamic discrimination in our public school texts favors Islam in secular schools, revises history and obscures Sharia law including treatment of non-Muslims. Students are not exposed to fundamental Islam’s goal of imposing Sharia law on all peoples and suppressing all other religions.

These examples are from Ancient World History, Holt McDougal, VA Edition, 2011,

Chapter 3 section, “Origins of Judaism”, Chapter 6 section “Early Christianity” and Chapter 10 in entirety “The Muslim World.

Favor Islam:

  • Text length: Origins of Judaism, 8 pages, Early Christianity 6 pages, The Muslim World, 22 pages.
  • Text content: Life and Teachings of Jesus, 2 pages, Life of Mohammad and Qu’ran, 5 pages
  • Online Student Research Link, Early Christianity, 3 items total on Christian catacombs, Arch of Titus, and timeline of sacred texts. [i]

Muslim World, 6 items total including Sayings of the Prophet, Complete Islamic history sources and 2 Qu’rans[ii]

Revise History:

  • Fiction in text: “Because the Qu’ran forbade forced conversion, Muslims allowed conquered peoples to follow their own religion.” p.270
  • Fact:When Pope Benedict said in Regensburg in 2006 that certain caliphs spread Islam by the sword, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia protested that the sword was only a last resort if non-Muslims refused to convert to Islam or surrender and pay the poll tax.[iii]
  • Fiction in text:“Sharia law requires Muslim leaders to extend religious tolerance to Christians and Jews.” p.268
  • Fact:In addition to paying the poll tax Jews and Christians must keep to the    side of the street, must not build as high as Muslim buildings or repair their churches, ring the bells or have public funerals. If they violate these conditions the caliph choses between death, slavery, release or ransom.[iv]
  • Half-Truth in text: regarding Sharia, “this system of law regulates the family life, moral conduct, and business and community life of Muslims.” p.268
  • Fact:   The Sharia is a complete code of life regulating relations with non-Muslims as well as Muslims, in which the earlier peaceful verses of the Qu’ran were abrogated by later verses.[v] Sharia includes the aHadeeth (words and deeds of the Prophet), such as “I have been ordered by God to fight with people till they bear testimony to the fact that there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger….)[vi]

Obscures Sharia Law:

These are but a few examples indicative of pro-Islamic discrimination throughout this text, its sequel on Modern World History, and comparable high school history texts of mainstream publishers adopted across America.  The supplemental study guides of the Virginia Department of Education re-enforce the texts instead of correcting them.

Is this the kind of disinformation our schools should be teaching?

There are serious consequences for our Constitution when Islamic fundamentalists in this country are calling for a parallel legal system or special dispensations for Muslims in public schools, workplaces, and taxpayer funded facilities.

The textbooks don’t begin to teach the whole truth about Islam.

Conflicting Meanings of Jihad:

The Earlier Peaceful Meaning Is Abrogated by the Later Aggressive Meaning

Holt McDougal Student Resources Link for Jihad:

Text Used in Mosques Across America to Train Leaders for the Next Generation

Those who believe and emigrate and strive with might and main with their wealth and their lives have the highest rank in the sight of Allah. p.170

Footnote: Strive The word Allah used in Arabic is: wa Jaahada Fee Sabeelillah – meaning: made Jihad in the path of Allah. It is incorrect  to translate the word Jihad to mean strive/striving because Jihad is a legal terminology with a specific meaning, and that is,  fighting in the path of Allah and the struggle therein. Translating the word Jihad to mean ‘Striving’ is misleading as it gives a meaning different to the intending meaning in the verse. Unfortunately, this error has become a common practice amongst the translators, so let them be careful from falling into such errors.

So, how does the quantity of information taught on Christianity and Islam differ?

See for yourself. Click here to view the required elements of Christianity. (Opens in a new window.)

And what does the Virginia Department of Education want our children to know about Islam? A couple of points, like with Christianity?

Not hardly. Click here to see what is required to pass the SOL sections on Islam. (Opens in a new window.)

Apparently, Christian Culture is not important. This is an in depth look at the history and teachings of Islam, Mohammad, the “Noble” Quran complete with a play by play of everything you ever wanted to know about Islam but were prohibited from learning in school by the United States Constitution.

And if I recall that long forgotten religion called Christianity, there was some fellow called Jesus and a book called theBible.

This gives nothing but a passing mention of Christianity and reads like a Theological study in Islam. This is absolutely shameful and unconstitutional!

Most Christians as well as Muslims would probably be far happier of the State Controlled School System simply deleted both of these sections and let the parents decide which Mosque or Church (or Temple or Synagog) their children should receive religious training.

Below are the documents where a lot of this information came from. This first one is a copy of the teacher’s workbook. Feel free to browse through and see for yourself what Virginia’s children are being asked to accept as history.

AG Eric Holder lies to Congress’
Oversight Chairman Issa in
Covering-up DOJ Gun Gaffes
 
 
 
          Whether you’re talking about the debt-ceiling “debate” or Eric Holder’s refusal to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee investigation, we’re beginning to detect a pattern here . . .  the Obama administration believes that obfuscation and spin will win!  We'll soon find out if that's true for the economy and for deliberately seeking to undermine the 2nd Amendment . . . .
According to Rajjpuut’s unofficial count:  42 times in the last two weeks, President Barack Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden, and various other progressive Democrats resorted to the phrase “shared sacrifice” in discussing their attempts to raise the ceiling on the national debt, increase government spending, and expand the size of government. In all 42 out of those 42 occasions the very next words next escaping from the other side of the orators’ mouths were condemnations of the Republicans in Congress, especially those controlling the House of Representatives, for seeking to get fat “on the backs of the middle class.” In addition, Obama also said that it was the public’s worry that the debt-ceiling would NOT be increased that was causing uncertainty in the business community thus hampering hiring and contributing to last month’s rise from 9.1% to 9.2% unemployment in the nation which occurred despite 250,000 job applicants quitting the hunt for work and no longer being counted as “unemployed.” Meanwhile only 18,000 new jobs were created in June while the job numbers from April and May were revised downward 44,000 jobs.
The last claim by the President is absolutely shocking in its disregard for the truth. YES, the business community as a whole and small business owners (the segment of society most commonly attributed for creating new jobs) in particular have certainly spoken repeatedly about uncertainty . . . but it is their uncertainty with regard to Obamacare; new government regulations; energy cost; and more than anything else government spending and government interference in the businessman’s life that has caused them to keep their investment funds on the sidelines. In other words, it is Obama’s policies which are creating the uncertainty (and certainly NOT the Republicans’ attempts to slash government spending, reduce the national debt and dramatically shrink the size and scope of the federal government. The President’s fast-and-loose treatment of the truth, however, only earns second place in the BS Sweepstakes for early July.
By far the most shameless spinning going on right now is that of Attorney General Eric Holder and other spokesmen within his “Justice” Department. First of all, it is now a certainty that Eric Holder has lied under oath when discussing “Operation Fast and Furious” as to when he first learned of and how much he knew about this seemingly rogue operation that deliberately put American weapons in the hands of Mexican drug-cartel operatives and cost at least two American immigration officers their lives as well as potentially the lives of hundreds of Mexican citizens as thousands of American weapons were deliberately sold to drug cartel operatives and then allowed to flow across the southern border into Mexico. Ordinary internet viewers were already reading of the DOJ’s improprieties at least a full seven weeks prior to the time which Holder has stated in sworn testimony to Darryl Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee that he first learned of problems with Fast and Furious.
While pledging openness and cooperation with the Oversight Committee, Holder and his department have submitted countless filings of obstructions to the scope of the investigation. Even when a DOJ paper is turned over to Issa’s committee it is virtually completely blacked out except for the DOJ heading and words like “the,” “and,” “a,” “of” and “an.”  While otherwise claiming privileged communications within the DOJ could not be examined. The seriousness of this matter can be calculated by this simple fact: instead of only the stalwart FOXNEWS organization and New York Post reporting on the issue, just this week (after two months!) even CNN has also begun to cover the story.
This much is certain: Both the DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation deliberately left the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in the dark as to virtually every aspect of Operation Fast and Furious which was known within the ATF as “Project Gunrunner.” Throughout the life of the ill-conceived sting operation, ATF was spinning its wheels investigating people and events that the DOJ and FBI already knew everything about. Meanwhile the DOJ saw to it that American weapons were put into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels and then allowed those weapons to drop off the information grid. Two of those weapons are implicated in the deaths of the two Immigration officers.
While Holder and other bigwigs in the FBI, DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Attorney’s Office (who conducted all sorts of wire taps that the ATF was never allowed to know about) and even the Drug Enforcement Agency have been zipping lips and pointing shaking fingers at ATF acting director, Kenneth Melson as their hoped for scapegoat; truth has nevertheless begun to pour out. Melson and virtually the entire ATF have been forthrightly providing Issa’s committee with truckloads of information including documents that reveal the ATF’s initial and ongoing reservation for the wisdom of the DOJ initiated operation. Obama and Holder are pressuring Melson to resign and take the fall for the botched operation which Holder appears to have created.
The skeleton of what is now conclusively known points at Holder’s DOJ as plotting to create an embarrassment for the nation’s 2nd Amendment enthusiasts by creating scenarios implying that their shortfalls and enthusiasm for selling and buying weapons were behind much of the Mexican drug cartel armaments. However, rather than legal and normal gun sales leading to better armed drug lords, it is up to now only certain that the DOJ’s interference (while using the ATF as an unknowing stooge) has put guns into the hands of these lawless criminals. Holder is meanwhile doing everything he can to point at Melson and even DOJ underlings as the root cause of the fiasco.
In a letter to Holder released yesterday, Oversight Chairman Rep. Daryl Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley accused the Justice Department of blocking their investigation into the burgeoning scandal (which has resulted in the deaths of at least two American agents and countless Mexican civilians), muzzling the ATF and involving other federal agencies, including the FBI and the DEA, in funding the crackpot scheme.
"The evidence we have gathered raises the disturbing possibility that the Justice Department not only allowed criminals to smuggle weapons, but that taxpayer dollars from other agencies may have financed those engaging in such activities," said Issa and Grassley in the letter.   
"It is one thing to argue that the ends justify the means in an attempt to defend a policy that puts building a big case ahead of stopping known criminals from getting guns. Yet it is a much more serious matter to conceal from Congressthe possible involvement of other agencies in identifying and maybe even working with the same criminals that Operation Fast and Furious was trying to identify."  The following five paragraphs are courtesy of the New York Post article linked above:
Issa and Grassley note in their letter, that had the other agencies shared information with the ATF, "then ATF might have known that gun trafficking 'higher-ups' had already been identified."   Since the identities of the Mexican criminals were known to the feds, precisely what was the point of Project Gunrunner -- and why is Holder so desperately trying to stonewall by withholding hundreds of documents from Congress?
Law-abiding gun owners and dealers think they already know. With the Obama administration wedded to the fiction that 90 percent of the guns Mexican cartels use originate here in the United States -- which they do not -- many suspect that "Fast and Furious" was a backdoor attempt to smear domestic gun aficionados as part of its stealth efforts on gun controlby executive (Presidential) fiat.  "I just want you to know that we're working on it," Obama was quoted as saying to gun-control advocate Sarah Brady in a March speech. "We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar."  Unfortunately for the administration, this one's out in the open now.
Melson testified behind closed doors on July 4, but the country needs to hear him speak -- loudly and publicly. "Let me be clear," Issa wrote to Melson in April, "we are not conducting a concurrent investigation with the Department of Justice, but rather an independent investigation of the Department of Justice."  Exactly. Because this one's not just a domestic issue. A Mexican senator, Rene Arce Islas, told Fox News that he believes whoever is responsible for the monumental, lethal screw-up should be tried not only in America but in Mexico, too.
That's not going to happen, of course. Even if any prominent American officials are implicated, there is zero chance they'd have to face Mexican justice.  But Issa's charge that Holder & Co. are obstructing a congressional investigation is serious. Not even the Justice Department is above the law.
The best way to disinfect the putrid mess that is Operation Fast and Furious is to expose it to sunlight. Let's hear what the attorney general and others have to say in open hearings.  Because somebody's got some "splainin' " to do -- fast, before the American people get furious.
Eric Holder’s involvement is no longer in doubt, if he wasn’t aware of “Fast and Furious” he’s an incompetent and should lose his job; if he was aware (which all signs clearly point to now), he’s stepped way over the line from malfeasance into deep, deep corruption by now unabashedly heading up the cover-up . . . the real questions, given the quote from Obama’s speeches to anti-gun functions are these: How much does Barack know? When did he first learn it? Did he authorize “Fast and Furious” himself?
            It now appears that Obama himself spearheaded this operation. We say that because the Obama administration is choosing to spin the screwed-up “Fast and Furious” results as indications of the need to institute anti-2nd Amendment measures immediately by Presidential fiat. This latest power-grab by the administration is being euphemistically called “new gun safety measures” and will be implemented by Eric Holder’s Justice Department without Congressional input. Presidential press secretary Jay Carney announced today that the “new steps will be made public in the near future.” 
Looking for a sweeping net of proposed benefit, Carney said the purpose of the new laws will be to “prevent another Tucson.” Anti-gun zealots are refusing to notice that incompetent law enforcement by the Tucson Sheriff Dupnik (the one calling within minutes of the shooting for condemnation of the “haters” and implying that the haters included talk radio and FOXNews). Of course, the leftist enthusiast perpetrator Jared Loughner is criminally insane and had dozens of contact situations with the congresswoman he shot (as well as 18 other people including the six who were killed. Dupnik ignored several prior complaints about Loughner including at Loughner’s university.
Carney and others are tying “Project Gunrunner” to the Bush administration. This is false. Gunrunner was a Bush sting on illegal gun purchases wherein the guns were sold and the illegal recipients were immediately arrested in the United States.  Holder deliberately allowed the ATF to believe that Project Gunrunner was just being continued with a new emphasis. As soon as savvy ATF agents on the ground figured out what was going on (no arrests but just following the guns into Mexico?) they were alarmed and protested loud and long . . . several of these whistle-blowers have lost their jobs already. The brilliance of the Obama administration’s “Fast and Furious” is that the guns are now forever lost unless they are found later at crime scenes. Told you it was brilliant!
 
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut

Posted on National Review Online-By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER-On July 8, 2011:

Here we go again. An approaching crisis. A looming deadline. Nervous markets. And then, from the miasma of gridlock, rises our president, calling upon those unruly congressional children to quit squabbling, stop kicking the can down the road, and get serious about debt.

This from the man who:

  • Ignored the debt problem for two years by kicking the can to a commission.
 
  • Promptly ignored the commission’s December 2010 report.
 
  • Delivered a State of the Union address in January that didn’t even mention the debt until 35 minutes in.
 
  • Delivered in February a budget so embarrassing — it actually increased the deficit — that the Democratic-controlled Senate rejected it 97–0.
 
  • Took a budget mulligan with his April 13 debt-plan speech. Asked in Congress how this new “budget framework” would affect the actual federal budget, Congressional Budget Office director Doug Elmendorf replied with a devastating “We don’t estimate speeches.” You can’t assign numbers to air. 

President Obama assailed the lesser mortals who inhabit Congress for not having seriously dealt with a problem he had not dealt with at all, then scolded Congress for being even less responsible than his own children. They apparently get their homework done on time.

My compliments. But the Republican House did do its homework. It’s called a budget. It passed the House on April 15. The Democratic Senate has produced no budget. Not just this year, but for two years running. As for the schoolmaster-in-chief, he produced two 2012 budget facsimiles: The first (February) was a farce and the second (April) was empty, dismissed by the CBO as nothing but words untethered to real numbers.

Obama has run disastrous annual deficits of around $1.5 trillion while insisting for months on a “clean” debt-ceiling increase, (i.e. with no budget cuts at all). Yet suddenly he now rises to champion major long-term debt reduction, scorning any suggestions of a short-term debt-limit deal as can-kicking.

The flip-flop is transparently political. A short-term deal means another debt-ceiling fight before Election Day, a debate that would put Obama on the defensive and distract from the Mediscare campaign to which the Democrats are clinging to save them in 2012.

A clever strategy it is: Do nothing (see above); invite the Republicans to propose real debt reduction first; and when they do — voting for the Ryan budget and its now infamous and courageous Medicare reform — demagogue them to death.

And then up the ante by demanding Republican agreement to tax increases. So: First you get the GOP to seize the Left’s third rail by daring to lay a finger on entitlements. Then you demand the GOP seize the Right’s third rail by violating its no-tax pledge. A full-spectrum electrocution. Brilliant.

And what have been Obama’s own debt-reduction ideas? In last week’s news conference, he railed against the tax break for corporate-jet owners — six times.

I did the math. If you collect that tax for the next 5,000 years — that is not a typo — it would equal the new debt Obama racked up last year alone. To put it another way, if we had levied this tax at the time of John the Baptist and collected it every year since — first in shekels, then in dollars — we would have 500 years to go before we could offset half of the debt added by Obama last year alone.

Obama’s other favorite debt-reduction refrain is canceling an oil-company tax break. Well, if you collect that oil tax and the corporate-jet tax for the next 50 years, you will not yet have offset Obama’s deficit spending for February 2011.

After his Thursday meeting with bipartisan congressional leadership, Obama adopted yet another persona: Cynic-in-chief became compromiser-in-chief. Highly placed leaks are portraying him as heroically prepared to offer Social Security and Medicare cuts.

We shall see. It’s no mystery what is needed. First, entitlement reform that changes the inflation measure, introduces means testing, then syncs the (lower) Medicare eligibility age with Social Security’s and indexes them both to longevity. And second, real tax reform, both corporate and individual, that eliminates myriad loopholes in return for lower tax rates for everyone.

That’s real debt reduction. Yet even now, we don’t know where the president stands on any of this. Until we do, I’ll follow the Elmendorf Rule: We don’t estimate leaks. Let’s see if Obama can suspend his 2012 electioneering long enough to keep the economy from going over the debt cliff.
