Call the :WAAAH!! bulance!

Call the Waaah-bulance, another special interest group has been offended.

I am sorry, but this is about the stupidest example of egalitarian BS as I have ever seen. Are they serious? You damn right they are serious. Blind people being discriminated against because they are? Blind? What the hell do these people want!

Absolutely ridiculous!

DOJ Targeted Public Library for Lending E-Books 'Inaccessible' to the Blind

Barnes & Noble's NOOK Color

(CNSNews.com) – The U.S. Justice Department says it has reached a settlement with the Sacramento (California) Public Library over a trial program the library was conducting that let patrons borrow Barnes and Noble NOOK e-book readers.
DOJ and the National Federation of the Blind objected to the program on grounds that blind people could not use the NOOK e-readers for technological reasons.
The Justice Department said the settlement is aimed at stopping discrimination: “Emerging technologies like e-readers are changing the way we interact with the world around us and we need to ensure that people with disabilities are not excluded from the programs where these devices are used,” said Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez in a news release.
A DOJ official told CNSNews.com it interviewed a woman who could not participate in the library's e-reader program due to her disability and concluded that the program had violated the ADA.
Amy Calhoun, an Electronic Resources Librarian at the Sacramento Public Library who helped launch the ebook reader project, said she was unaware of any objections from a blind person regarding the program. “I have not heard of a specific complaint directly from a patron,” she told CNSNews.com. “But I do know that patrons who are part of the statewide Braille and talking-book program do get in touch with us for audio books.”

Al Gore really is is smarter than that

He just doesn't think that you are. You being the average American. And he may be right. The way history is taught in this country and has been taught for the past thirty years or better, there is no telling what some people believe as fact as it concerns their country and the US Constitution.

Al Gore knows precisely why the founding fathers established an electoral college. It was in order to prevent large and populous states from bullying and deciding elections over the lesser sized states. Odd thing really, the founding fathers wanted all of the states to have equal footing in general elections. Imagine that. Sort of sounds like that fairness meme that you always hear liberals whining about.

But in reality, the only fairness they are interested in is what they perceive as being fair to them. And the rest of the country be damned. 

The Mystery Guest Tragedy of the RNC

The rumors began swirling in advance. Clint Eastwood was reportedly headed down to Tampa. Would he be the mystery guest speaker at the RNC?  Well the mystery ended last night when Clint took the stage. I could cut and paste some of the reviews that have been popping up all over the web this morning, but suffice it to say that the critics were not kind.

I love Clint Eastwood as an actor. At least two or three of his films easily make my all time one hundred list. I also appreciate his seeming conservative leanings and his opposition to Barack Obama. however, I don't need the man to go on stage and make an ass of himself as some aged and decrepit Dirty Harry carricature to garner my vote.

You see, the really simple truth is this. I like Clint. I like Chuck Norris. Hell, I like a lot of actors and I have an equal number that I don't like and that I don't support because of their political views.  I am reasonably certain that I am not alone in my thinking on those counts. There are millions of American just like me. We all could give a rat's rump what Sean Penn's communist flavor of the month is. The only time that his politics impacts or influences my decision making is at the box office, not at the polling booth.

This is a fact that obviously escaped someone in the Romney campaign when they decided to book Clint Eastwood as the mystery guest speaker at the RNC. And did we really need Clint (or anyone for that matter) to have a stumbling conversation with an empty chair that was supposed to symbolize Barack Obama....Hells Bells! Put a larger than life photo of the man up as a backdrop as you rightfully slam his failed policies and failed leadership, but don't engage in cheap theater.

My personal reaction upon witnessing Eastwood's appearance last night was gut wrenching to say the least. The man we all know and admire for his acting was halting and awkward and seemed as uncomfortable in front of an audience as some high school kid at commencement. The entire segment was painful for me to watch as I am sure it was for millions of other supporters of Clint Eastwood and conservatism in America.

I kept thinking.....what the hell is he doing there? Why did they do this? What purpose is being served by this little piece of staged drama that is failing miserably by the way. All I kept thinking during the entire episode was that Barack Obama and those in his administration, were sitting back somewhere in the wings, literally laughing their asses off. Laughing not only at the pitiful performance that Clint was giving, but also laughing at whoever made the decision to craft such a tragedy for the RNC in the first place.

It's a hard thing in my opinion for a Hollywood legend to be panned and slammed in his waning years for a political faux pas, but Clint has no one to blame but himself. He did this to himself and he allowed it to happen and he took part in it. In the final analysis, his audition before the American people last night as a man of considered political thinking was tarnished at best and severely dented at worst.

Obama and his handlers will make a lot of hay with the Eastwood appearance at the RNC last night. Wait until next week's DNC and I will promise you there will be one if not many not so subtle tongue in cheek slams of Clint over his speech and his endorsement of Romney last night. If Eastwood's intent last night was to make someone's day as he so painfully ended his speech referring to, I am sad to say that in my estimation the only days that were made were on the democratic side.

Which reminds me of another famous quote of Dirty Harry. "A man's got to know his limitations." Obviously Clint forgot his and so did whoever put this tragedy together.

More Egalitarian Bull Chips

Can I say that? I certainly hope so, because I intend to.  How about this one? This guy is as full of sh@t as a Christmas turkey!  So who did I offend? I wonder. No....really I don't wonder, because I don't care. I for one and seriously sick of this egalitarian Bull Shite and the thought police.

Where do these people get off thinking they can completely re-write history and relegate customs and heritage to the secular trash heap. Only to be replaced by the idiotic and the absurd. They can kiss my grits. And I don't give a rat's rump if that offends someone who likes grits.

Take your political correct speak and park it where the sun don't shine. Get my drift?  Or was it something I said. 

Watch your mouth -- everyday phrases like "hold down the fort" and "rule of thumb" are potentially offensive bombshells.
At least according to the State Department.
Chief Diversity Officer John Robinson penned a column in the department's latest edition of "State Magazine" advising readers on some rather obscure Ps and Qs.
Robinson ticked off several common phrases and went on to explain why their roots are racially or culturally insensitive. The result was a list of no-nos that could easily result in some tongue-tied U.S. diplomats, particularly in an administration that swaps "war on terror" for "overseas contingency operation" and once shied away from using the word "terrorism."
For instance, Robinson warned, "hold down the fort" is a potentially insulting reference to American Indian stereotypes.
"How many times have you or a colleague asked if someone could 'hold down the fort?'" he wrote. "You were likely asking someone to watch the office while you go and do something else, but the phrase's historical connotation to some is negative and racially offensive."
He explained: "To 'hold down the fort' originally meant to watch and protect against the vicious Native American intruders. In the territories of the West, Army soldiers or settlers saw the 'fort' as their refuge from their perceived 'enemy,' the stereotypical 'savage' Native American tribes."
He singled out another phrase, "Going Dutch," as a "negative stereotype portraying the Dutch as cheap."
And "rule of thumb," he wrote, can according to women's activists refer "to an antiquated law, whereby the width of a husband's thumb was the legal size of a switch or rod allowed to beat his wife."
Further, he explained, "If her bruises were not larger than the width of his thumb, the husband could not be brought to court to answer for his behavior because he had not violated the 'rule of thumb.'"
He went on to urge caution over the word "handicap," as some disability advocates "believe this term is rooted in a correlation between a disabled individual and a beggar, who had to beg with a cap in his or her hand because of the inability to maintain employment."
What to make of all this?
Robinson cited the cautionary tale of Nike rolling out a "Black and Tan" sneaker without realizing the phrase once referred to a group "that committed atrocities against Irish civilians." Nike later apologized.
"Choose your words thoughtfully," Robinson wrote. "Now that you know the possible historical context of the above phrases, perhaps you will understand why someone could be offended by their use. Let us agree that language will continue to evolve with continually improving consciousness and respect for others."
Robinson also serves as the director of the Office of Civil Rights and an adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on diversity issues. He earlier worked as chief diversity officer with the IRS.

“Whatever it’s worth, I hope I’m making Tebow proud,”

It seems the Tim Tebow effect is everywhere these days. With all eyes Wednesday morning on New Orleans and Hurricane Isaac, Weather Channel viewers expected to see pounding rain and wind-battered television correspondents. But they probably weren’t counting on an impromptu “Tebowing.”

 “This is some of the strongest wind that we’ve had all morning,” said weatherman Jim Cantore, struggling to maintain his balance while reporting from Canal Street. “It is really hard to stand up right now.” Cantore took a knee, shielded his face, and instantly realized he was imitating the Jets backup quarterback.

“Whatever it’s worth, I hope I’m making Tebow proud,” he said.

Really? Is that what this is all about to these people? Comedic opportunities to slam Christianity and prayer and those who share a Christian belief and engage in prayer? Here is yet another instance of someone in media taking the opportunity to impugn Tim Tebow and Christianity in general as i for one don't appreciate it. 

Parents of the Dead Get Form letters from Obama

Why is this not surprising? I could go on and on about this, but suffice it to say that this man is an imposter commander in chief.

Obama Honored Fallen SEALs By Sending Their Parents a Form Letter Signed By Electric Pen

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 10:31 AM

 

 

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.
Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death.
It’s a form letter.

It was signed by an electric pen.
That’s not all.
Karen Vaughn reached out to the parents of the other SEALs killed in that crash.
Their letters were all the same.
Form letters – signed by an electric pen.

Here’s a closer look at the letter sent to the parents of Chief Petty Officer Nicholas H. Null.
It’s the same form letter.

After the deadliest single loss of US forces in Afghanistan, Barack Obama sent out form letters to the parents.

Romney happy to party while black people drowning.

Apparently, the democrats believe that the republican convention should have been cancelled until Issac was past. I love the "while black people are drowning, while they are partying." I wonder what the libs will call their convention next week?

The 800 pound gorilla not in the room

 
Can't have anything overshadowing the messiah. I wonder where they will keep Biden locked up and for how long.

Clinton to be absent from the DNC next week.

As delegates gather next week for the Democratic National Convention, they will look in vain for one of the party's biggest stars.
Where in the world is Hillary Clinton?
The 2008 Democratic presidential candidate, frequently rated the most popular member of President Barack Obama's cabinet, will be half a world away from the North Carolina convention center when Democrats gather September 4-6 to nominate Obama for a second term.
Clinton's head-spinning itinerary for that week, which will take her from the South Pacific to Asia to Russia's eastern port city of Vladivostok, is business as usual for the U.S. secretary of state, who has broken numerous travel records since taking the job in 2009.

Fox News does it again

The left is fond of referring to Fox News as Faux News. I am beginning to wonder if they might not have it right. Most everything involving Megan Kelly and Shepherd Smith in the last couple of years has had a noticeable liberal slant and leftist favor-ability in my observation.

So I wonder......how did this little slip make it's way into the interview at 1.35 into the tape?

Hurricane Issac

If anyone is interested in seeing an example of what whores the media are to craving disasters, look no further than their coverage of any hurricane.

I am sorry, but I don't need some over paid jerk or cutey pie, dressed up in their network oil skin clappers, hanging onto a palm tree while it rains and blows, and screaming into a microphone: "this is what the rain looks like!"

Give it a rest people! I believe if it is disaster coverage you want to interest me in? Then give me the live remote of the meteor strike and direct hit on CNN or any of the other 'use to be major networks.' Now that would be news. And the reporting would probably be captured with only amateur cell phone footage to record the aftermath.

The color of politics in America

If you are looking at the color of politics in America? Have a look at yellow dog democrats first. They get that name from the old maxim that they would rather vote for a yellow dog than to not vote democratic. But what about the racial color of politics?

The democrats are fond of pointing crooked fingers at republicans and alleging racism and a party of white people, yet when they are confronted with evidence to the contrary, they habitually refuse to acknowledge that their meme is flat out wrong and racist in it's contrived representations.

What color is American politics? If it involves leftist American media, the color is always jaded.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - AUGUST 02: (L-R) President of MSNBC Phil Griffin, host of 'The Rachel Maddow Show' Rachel Maddow, host of 'The Last Word' Lawrence O' Donnell and host of 'Hardball' Chris Matthews speak during the 'MSNBC' panel during the NBC Universal portion of the 2011 Summer TCA Tour held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 2, 2011 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.
If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.

DNC plans Islamification of their national convention

 Yes, the democratic national convention has decided to hold a two hour Muslim prayer service during their convention and call it a message to the grassroots.  Bet you haven;t heard about that from mainstream media. and you won't.

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention is raising a number of eyebrows after choosing to proceed with featuring Islamic “Jumah” prayers for two hours on the Friday of its convention, though Democrats earlier denied a Catholic cardinal’s request to say a prayer at the same event.

The real face of hate in America

this woman is a walking billboard of hate as it exists in the minds of leftist in America. Of course, it is alright to hate and be bigoted on the left, just as long as you hate and despise the right people. And as long as you hate and despise the right black people? There is no way that you can be called a racist. Racist after all are those who oppose the leftist agenda of socialist class warfare and the government enslavement of the masses to dependency and control of the state.

Nothing wrong with this woman that n extended stay in Venezuela with Sean Penn won't fix. We need to see to it that they all go down there and never come back if you ask me.

(LifeSiteNews.com) - In the aftermath of the Family Research Council shooting, prominent voices on the Left have not tapped down their violent rhetoric against their opponents. Two Baby Boomer celebrities have taken to Twitter to hope pro-life, pro-family individuals and U.S. Congressman Todd Akin suffer a drowning or a same-sex rape, respectively.

On Sunday, Ellen Barkin expressed her hope that Tropical Storm Isaac would smash up the Republican National Convention in Tampa and drown all its delegates.

She retweeted the message of one of her followers that read: “C’mon #Isaac! Wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean! #RNC ” Barkin did not express any disagreement in her retweet.

The storm is expected to grow into a Category 1 hurricane before slamming into the Gulf Coast on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

On the record on Obama's record on abortion

A powerful piece outlining the reality of where Barack Obama stands on abortion., He not only supports abortion, he supports the killing of babies born alive as a result of abortion. In Obama;s world opinion? You are not a person unless he decides to grant you that status. That is the position he took four separate times while he was in the Illinois legislature.

 Is there one good reason this man should have been elected president of this nation to begin with? Is there one good reason that he should be re-elected? I and many others say not no, but hell no.

Another liberal celebrity mind exposed.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste or so they say, but it becomes more and more apparent every day that there is a lot of it going around. Enter one Samuel L. Jackson, Hollywood actor and political soothe sayer extraordinaire.

Samuel L. Jackson asks why GOP 'spared' by tropical storm

By Daniel Strauss - 08/27/12 04:53 PM ET

Samuel L. Jackson on Monday tweeted it was "unfair" that Tropical Storm Isaac had spared the GOP convention in Tampa and appeared to be heading for New Orleans.
Jackson said in a profanity-filled tweet that he was "not understanding God's plan" given the fact that the strorm was not disrupting the Republican gathering.

"Unfair s---," the Oscar-nominated actor known for his colorful language said on Twitter. "GOP spared by Isaac! NOLA prolly f----- again!"
Less than a half-hour later, Jackson apologized for the earlier tweet, writing that it had stirred up a hornet's nest. "Apologies to God, Tampa, da GOP& Isaac(sp)! Who played the Race card?!," he said on Twitter.

Obama on the passing of Neil Armstrong

 Obama pays tribute to Neil Armstrong the only way he knows how. By making himself the center of attention. Can anyone say Narcissistic? All about you again isn't it mr. president.

Directly from Obama/Biden..com

 

 

Neil’s spirit of discovery lives on in all the men and women who have devoted their lives to exploring the unknown—including those who are ensuring that we reach higher and go further in space. That legacy will endure—sparked by a man who taught us the enormous power of one small step.
—President Obama on the passing of Neil Armstrong

Another Katrina? they can always hope.

Who would want to see the utter devastation wrought by a storm like Katrina re-visited on America? In a word, the "media." They have never gotten over Katrina. What a bonanza of misery of misery to choose from for their reporters and camera people. And the side angle of a distant and removed president who allegedly allowed people to die. Katrina was special for them. People left for dead in the streets of New Orleans. Thousands left stranded and abandoned at the Super Dome by an uncaring mayor. Scratch that!  An uncaring president

It has been seven years since Katrina and every year since, they have prognosticated and predicted and hoped against hope that mother nature would bless them once again with a killer storm of the magnitude of a Katrina. So is it any wonder that the media is getting giddy with anticipation over Issac? A storm that stands to mimic Katrina's exact track and on the seven year anniversary of Katrina?

Issac may not be the killer that Katrina was, but at least he will provide some much needed copy and video time for a media that literally thrives on death and misery. Stay tuned, you never know, Issac may not disappoint after all.  And the global warmers will be peeing their pants also. What a bunch of sick people.

Eerie similarities: Isaac follows track of Katrina

Thousands in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama were being told early Monday to leave their Gulf Coast homes ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Isaac as forecasters warned it was gaining strength as it followed the same path Hurricane Katrina took seven years earlier. 

 The governors of the three states each declared an emergency, with Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley ordering mandatory evacuations to begin at 8 a.m. for residents who live along the coast and for those in some low-lying areas inland.

 "I am urging everyone to take precautions now, monitor weather warnings, and be prepared for whatever Isaac may bring," Bentley said in a statement released Sunday.

Neil Armstrong Dead

So much will be said and written about this man in the coming days and weeks and there is absolutely nothing that i can add to those who will write his epitaph except this.

Thank you Neil for being who you were and thank you for giving me and millions of other Americans something to celebrate and be proud of. Look up and slip the surly bonds and touch the face of God. Semper Fidelis Sir, we will miss you but we will always remember you.

It will be interesting to see how NYPD and Mayor Bloomberg try to de-ass accountability on this. nine people wounded and the shooter never fired his weapon after he killed his former boss. I am sure that NYPD has 'shooting decision training' and a FATS machine in use in their training. So what went wrong. Why so many bystanders wounded. They are lucky that they didn't kill people themselves.

 NYPD fired 'randomly' into street

Questions have been raised over the New York police department's handling of a shooting near the Empire State Building after armed officers injured nine passers-by as they pursued a gunman who had just shot dead his former boss.
One of those injured by police told the Guardian that officers appeared to fire "randomly" as they confronted Jeffrey Johnson, 58, minutes after a workplace dispute escalated into a chaotic shootout in one of the busiest parts of Manhattan.
Reports suggest that while Johnson drew his gun when he was confronted by officers, he did not fire; all those injured appear to have been shot by police. The New York police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, said officers had no choice but to act as they did: police discharged 14 rounds and the gunman died at the scene.

General? Admiral? What's the difference

The president's rebuttal is typical but the glaringly obvious is that the man has absolutely no idea of who or what he represents as commander in chief. If the people involved are not in his immediate orbit of supporters and political advisers, they are just background noise and backdrop to this president and it shows. 

Barack Obama has always been known for his silken words, soaring rhetoric and ability to use language to his advantage.
Lately, however, the president seems to be losing command of the details. In a speech at a fundraiser in New York on Wednesday night, he took aim at Todd Akin, the political punch bag du jour on both sides of the political aisle.
‘Recently, some of you have been paying attention to the commentary of the Senator of Missouri, Mr Akin, who - the interesting thing here is that this is an individual who sits on the House Committee on Science and Technology, but somehow missed science class.

Slip up: President Obama, pictured arriving at New York's JFK Airport yesterday, right, accidentally said that William McRaven, left, was a general, when in fact, he is an admiral

In town: The president is in the East Coast city to raise funds for his re-election campaign

‘It's representative of a desire to go backwards instead of forwards, and to fight fights that we thought were settled twenty, thirty years ago.’
The problem is, Akin is a congressman who is running for a US Senate seat in Missouri. Senator Claire McCaskill, Obama’s favourite Senator until a few months ago when she started to distance herself from him in an effort to win re-election, might not particularly appreciate the President having conceded her seat already.

Then there was the stop at Sloopy’s bar on the campus of Ohio State University where Obama posed will students to spell out the four letters in Ohio. Except that, initially at least, the President and the student on his right got their letters wrong, spelling: ‘O-I-H-O’
Perhaps most seriously, however, was Obama’s slip in an interview with KSDK in St Louis, Missouri when he was asked about the new 22-minute film ‘Dishonorable Disclosures’ by a group of former Special Forces troops and intelligence operatives.
‘I won't take this film too seriously,’ he responded. ‘I gather that one of the producers is a birther who still doesn't think I was born in this country.

Know your place: William McRaven is and admiral not a general. As a SEAL, he is member of the US Navy, not US Army or US Marines

‘You've got one who was a candidate, a Republican candidate for office. And a proud card carrying member of the Tea Party. So this is obviously a partisan film. 
‘I'd advise that you talk to General McRaven, who's in charge of our Special Ops. I think he has a point of view in terms of how deeply 
I care about what these folks do each and every day to protect our freedom.’
The difficulty with this is that William McRaven is and admiral not a general. As a SEAL, he is member of the US Navy, not US Army or US Marines.
Obama has made mistakes with military terminology before. In February 2010, he mispronounced ‘corpsman’ – as ‘corpse-man’ instead of ‘core-man’ several times.
Last year, he mixed up two Medal of Honor recipients, saying that ‘Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honour to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously’.

Democrats routinely rape the sensibilities of Americans

And having done so, they attempt to fawn anxiety and offense at the least faux pas of republicans, while openly accepted the same and worse from their own candidates and elected officials. Was the Missouri senator's remarks on rape stupid? They certainly were, but they were no more stupid or offensive than examples of the same and similar on the democrat side of the isle.

Enter one Al Franken.

Senator Famous for Joking About Rape Campaigns for Obama, Biden

       

Earlier this week, Senator Al Franken of Minnesota joined Vice President Joe Biden for a campaign event in Minnesota.
"Biden got plenty of support from Minnesota Democrats," PostBulletin.com reports. "Sen. Al Franken praised Obama for pushing the health care law, saying it will help more seniors get help paying for prescriptions and will ensure Medicare's solvency for an additional eight years."
But before Franken was a senator he was a writer on the TV show Saturday Night Live. Then, he famously joked about raping CBS reporter Lesley Stahl.
As New York magazine reported in 1995, from a writing session that the reporter sat in on:

Franken: “And, ‘I give the pills to Lesley Stahl. Then, when Lesley’s passed out, I take her to the closet and rape her.’ Or, ‘That’s why you never see Lesley until February.’ Or, ‘When she passes out, I put her in various positions and take pictures of her.’”

With the national conversation now turning to women's issues as a result of the bizarre and offensive comments by Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin over the weekend, it seems a bit odd that Vice President Biden would take the stage with Franken, considering his own lack of sensitivity to the horrors of rape.
Here's a picture of Franken on stage with Biden: 

The TSA appearing at private events? Particularly political events involving the republican VP candidate to do what? This is shades of brown shirts in my opinion. There is both speculation and evidence that the TSA is being broadened to begin widespread searches of Americans in all aspects of their lives. From train and bus travel to roadside checks.

The US Border patrol is already conducting citizenship road checks in boarder states that are completely unconstitutional, but what else should we expect from a president and an administration that habitually trounces the US Constitution and the bill of rights. Stay tuned, this will become a larger and more glaring problem as time passes, particularly if Obama gets re-elected.

TSA ‘Reaches’ Out at Paul Ryan Event

Upon arriving at Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s first Florida stop in The Villages, Florida, we could help but notice that alongside Secret Service and the local Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, were members of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checking people’s belongings. A big WTF is in order here.
We heard that the TSA was going to expand its ummm, ‘reach,’ but to assist in political campaigns is quite the jump in broadening their ‘transportation security horizons.’ I counted no less than (6) TSA agents alongside the usual uniformed Secret Service detail-not to be confused with the ‘Men In Black’ looking agents.

Box head vs. halo

For the past four years, it seems like you cannot go a week without some photo of Barack Obama, purposely staged by a media photographer to appear to give him a halo. now comes a Reuters photographer who capyures another odd moment and that in itself has become a story. A story of so called rude.

I say.....I am tired of the media being rude and staging these photographs period. If they cannot provide an honest unadulterated image of those they are covering, then don't post the pictures period.

When a partisan isn't partisan

 General Dempsey needs to go look in a mirror. He also needs to read and re-read his history. The UCMJ prohibits active duty military personnel from commenting on or criticizing the commander in chief. Once you leave the military, your first amendment rights are restored general.

As for partisanship? Have a look around general. You wouldn't be where you are except for your partisan political rump kissing to get there. So forget the scornful eye cast on those who have served and bled, when they are assessing the poser in chief and his record of shame.

Men of honor will speak up and speak out general. they always have and they will continue to do so. And some of them eventually run for public office after they leave the military. Like I said general, read your history. To that I would add, don't expect the rest of us to buy the chees you are hustling for this administration.

Dempsey 'disappointed' by anti-Obama campaign by ex-military members

The United States' top military official criticized a group of former military and intelligence operatives for its aggressive campaign against President Obama, telling Fox News that he is "disappointed" by such political activity, which he called "not useful."
The group of former CIA agents, Navy SEALs and other military members recently released a long-form political ad blasting Obama for security leaks on his watch, as well as suggesting he has taken too much credit for the SEALs raid in Pakistan that killed Usama bin Laden.
“If someone uses the uniform, whatever uniform, for partisan politics, I am disappointed because I think it does erode that bond of trust we have with the American people,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said in an interview with Fox News while flying back from a trip to Afghanistan and Iraq.

The rising cost of food and energy

For those paying attention, the rise in the cost of food and gasoline over the summer has been dramatic. And it is going to get worse. Locally I have seen gasoline prices rise 40 cents in a little over a month. right now they are hover at $3.85 a gallon for regular unleaded and #4.15 for premium.

The same story is playing out in the grocery isles. Campbell's soup has risen to $1.75 a can for soups that were averaging 79 and 89 cents a can before Obama took office.

The story below demonstrates the urgency of the dilemma as corn and soy are in just about every aspect of our lives. And the EPA mandate to manufacture ethanol is going to really impact the food supply if those mandates are not dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Keep your eye on the staples in your grocery isles between now and the first of the year and watch the cost of gasoline. i am guessing that we will be over $4 a gallon long before Christmas and the cost of food will see a 30% increase by the first of the year.

So how are you liking the hope and change? Ready for four more years of it?


 
 Drought devastating crops and prices

US corn and soybean prices closed at new record highs Tuesday as a new survey showed worse-than-expected crop damage from a brutal drought across the country's central breadbasket.
The price of corn jumped 1.7 percent to $8.3875 a bushel, while soybeans finished at $17.3025 a bushel, up 2.8 percent from Tuesday.
That left the corn price up 68 percent from June and soybeans 39 percent higher.
An all-time record hot July accompanied by nearly three months of extreme drought have baked the country's prime farmland in the midwestern and central states, where the world's largest corn and soybean crops are grown.

No end to blaming Bush

There is no shelf life with liberals and their hate. Oh? Did I mention that liberals (democrats) are the premiere haters? No one hates like a democrat leftist liberal. They never forget any slight or insult and they never forget any challenge to their social or sexual deviancy.


Madeline Albright as an example.

Inflation Run Amuck!

 It's official. Inflation is out of control. Off the hook and unhinged. According to Nike's new release, the costs of doing business in order to build their customized shoes is due to the cost of materials like cotton.

Who would have thought. Nike operates some of it's most prolific factories in Indonesia, China, and Vietnam. Obviously as a cost saving measure, seeing as the costs of raw materials such as cotton have become so outrageous. Factor in the millions they pay to those like Lebraun James and previous stars like Michael Jordan and is it any wonder that these super shoes don't cost more than an Emelda Marcos shopping spree.

Really? Due to the cost of cotton? Hells Bells!  There is no telling what a pack of Fruit of the Loom briefs are going to cost in the near future.

I say screw gold! Get into cotton futures now!

LeBron sneakers test $300 limit

Nike is selling LeBron James' newest sneaker for over $300.
According the Wall Street Journal, LeBron's next shoe, the "LeBron X" will cost around $315.
The shoe debuted at the 2012 Olympic gold-medal game between Spain and the United States.

This will be LeBron's 10th shoe release.
His first shoe was released in 2003.
It was called the Nike Zoom Generation and cost around $110.
Nike told the Journal that it is passing along price increases because of the increased cost of materials like cotton.

Shoes to die for. Literally. 

 

Will Israel Attack?

 There is no way to know for sure, but the consensus seems to be that Netanyahu has had enough of Iran and Obama and he is about to do what must be done to insure Israel's survival. The Israeli's have lived under the fear of an Iranian nuclear holocaust for too long. the UN and America have turned blind eyes to what they know is going on and the reports of the nuclear regulatory agency of the UN who has repeatedly told them that the Iranians are enriching weapons grade uranium.

Israel cannot wait until mushroom clouds appear over Jerusalem. Obama has consistently turned his back on Israel while attempting to placate the Muslims and now the tab for that is about to come due. If Israel attacks, the Iranians will also lash out at America,

Americans will die because of the malaise and the ineptitude of a man who had no business ever being president of the United States.

Netanyahu ‘determined to attack Iran’ before US elections

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is determined to attack Iran before the US elections,” Israel’s Channel 10 News claimed on Monday night, and Israel is now “closer than ever” to a strike designed to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive.

The TV station’s military reporter Alon Ben-David, who earlier this year was given extensive access to the Israel Air Force as it trained for a possible attack, reported that, since upgraded sanctions against Iran have failed to force a suspension of the Iranian nuclear program in the past two months, “from the prime minister’s point of view, the time for action is getting ever closer.”

Asked by the news anchor in the Hebrew-language TV report how close Israel now was to “a decision and perhaps an attack,” Ben-David said: “It appears that we are closer than ever.”

He said it seemed that Netanyahu was not waiting for a much-discussed possible meeting with US President Barack Obama, after the UN General Assembly gathering in New York late next month — indeed, “it’s not clear that there’ll be a meeting.” In any case, said Ben-David, “I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay a possible attack.”

Just say no to the Obama rogues!

 This is great! A young business owner and his wife told the Obama Biden campaign no. No! We don't want you dropping by our business. No.....we disagree with Obama's recent comments concerning small businesses adn the allegation that they didn't build their businesses. the man goes on to cite that his wife has been up for 24 hours straight taking care of the business.

At the end of the story, The media cannot pass up the opportunity to get get a dig at the Secret Service for allegedly coming by to thank them and to buy cookies from their business.  Watch fot the story of heads to roll on the VP executive protection unit after this.

There is a Link to the video report by the local media.

Radford business owner declines request from Joe Biden's entourage to stop in store

Would you say no to the Vice President?
One New River Valley business owner turned Vice President Joe Biden down. To see video of the story, click here.
This might happen more than you think from both political parties, most businesses just don't talk about it. The owner of "Crumb and Get It" - did.
Chris McMurray's bakery has been open only since May, barely three months.

Wednesday morning, advance teams for Vice President Joe Biden walked in.
"I approached her she said Joe Biden is coming to town today," McMurray said.
"Crumb and Get It" is a mom and pop store. Literally. Chris and his wife Kelly run the place and need all the business they can get.
McMurray said the Vice President's entourage got to the point and made its pitch.
"She said they have selected 'Crumb and Get It" to be his stop on his way to Blacksburg and was wondering if that was ok."
Here's the part that might make other business owners crazy.
"This is an opportunity of a lifetime but essentially I said 'No offense to you or the campaign but I just decline you guys coming in here. At that time she said 'Are you sure? There's going to be a lot of press, a lot of activity,’" McMurray said.
Why in the world would a new business owner say "no" to a photo op with the Vice President of the United States?
McMurray said it was President Obama's recent remarks about small business and who built what.
"Very simply, ‘you didn't build that’” McMurray said. “Speaking of small businesses and entrepreneurs all across this country and actually last night my wife was up all night. No sleep, she's worked a full 24 hours."
When "Crumb and Get It" said 'no', “River City Grill,” just around the corner, said 'yes' and has the pictures to prove it, and didn't care about the politics.
"If you want to throw in some libertarians as well that's fine too. Stop in as well,” Chris Bell said. “Just bring your money. Sure, right!
Back at the bakery, a couple of guys said they'd hoped to see Biden and didn't care that the VP had been turned away.

National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
Tuesday, August 14, 2012

Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets.

A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass.

A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

The National Weather Service is is one of six scientific agencies that make up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The solicitation requires a response by August 21.

The NWS is following its federal counterpart the DHS in securing large quantities of ammo. Back in March,Homeland Security purchased 450 million rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as to why the DHS needed such a large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes.

The backdrop tells a story

This photo on the Drudge Report tells a story to me. The president is in Iowa to campaign and attempt to contrast his record against Romney and Ryan as alternatives, yet look in the background.  Browned out and wasted corn. Obviously due to the drought, but hasn't the American economy suffered a similar fate under this administration as that corn?

Absent the nutrients and nurturing required, the American economy has died just as surely as this corn. 

"a lovely thing to say as a wealthy white man"

“The thing I really have against him is actually how he and Gov. Romney have misused the Declaration of Independence,” she said. “I’m deeply irritated by their notion that the ‘pursuit of happiness’ means money for the richest and that we extricate the capacity of ordinary people to pursue happiness. When they say ‘God and nature give us our rights, not government,’ that is a lovely thing to say as a wealthy white man.”

Harris-Perry said the words didn’t initially mean rights for African-Americans and women.

“When you sit in a body like mine as an African-American woman, you know that God and nature have in fact made us — inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she continued. “But we could not have them until there was a Civil War that allowed the federal government to impose those nature and God-given rights would actually be respected by our government. And I think that they cannot continue to go down this line on the Declaration of Independence.”

Rich Lowery vs. Rachael Maddow

It is truly enjoyable to see Rich Lowery hand Rachael Maddow her ass on national television. There is only one person who gets on the nerves of reasonable people more quickly than this woman and that would be her mentor, Kieth Obermann.

Maddow had absolutely no defense to Lowery and when he pinned her down for an answer on Obama's 700 billion in Medicare cuts to fund Obama care, listening to Maddow obfuscating was a clinic in how the left reacts when their weak minded rhetoric is attacked and exposed for what it is.

Good for Lowery.

What does it say about Obama?

This response to the Obama attack ads and leftist PAC money speaks for itself. And if you are interested in knowing what it says about a man, his administration, his supporters and his presidency? I'd say it says that this man, his life and his presidency have been about nothing but lies. Top to bottom, all of it and from the beginning through today is built upon purposeful lies and misrepresentations.

From the lies about his history and upbringing, to the lies about who is real father was and who his true mentors mentors were. To the lies about where he was born. To the lies about his Muslim upbringing and the lies about his practiced observance of that faith as a child and beyond. To the lies about his college days and how he was in truth represented as a foreign student to obtain his education, yet he denies it now and hides the evidence of who he really is to all but his inner circle. To the lies about  his missing college grades, to the lies about his missing tenure at Harvard as president of the law review. To the lies about his days spent in Chicago with Bill Ayers and ultimately Jerimiah Wright building his political career on lies. To the lies to the American people about his Fabian socialism and anti American anti colonialism heritage.

Right up to and including the lies of the last three and a half years of his presidency. Including his lies about fast and furious and the culpability that he and his administration have established with Eric Holder's tenure as attorney general and the criminal acts both he and Holder have committed.

Jesus called satan the father of lies.

As it concerns Barack Obama, in my estimation if satan is the father of lies then Obama is a close second.

The Left's Take on Paul Ryan

It didn't take long for the leftist meme to take form and the attacks to begin once the rumor was confirmed that Paul Ryan would be Mitt Romney's pick for VP. On the eve of Romney's announcement of Ryan as his VP choice this morning, the New Yorker launched a preemptive strike on congressman Paul Ryan's selection as Romney's vice presidential choice.

The attacks are no surprise, but the choice of attack is interesting if not predictable. This is another example of the Pee Wee Herman mentality of the left in my observation. "I know what I am but what about you?" That's how Pee Wee use to handle criticism and it seems to be the left's favored response to just about anything that challenges their version of reality.

The left will cast aside any memory of four years ago when conservatives were challenging the fact that Barack Obama had absolutely no experience or qualifications to be president. And in the face of the history of weakness and absence of experience by their own candidate, they will attack and assail Paul Ryan as if he is some form of alien mutation who is completely unacceptable to them as a candidate.

About the only part of it that they have gotten right in their assessment, is that Ryan and Romney are completely unacceptable to the left. As for the rest of America, the growing momentum of opinion seems to be Romney is more than suitable to replace the present amateur in chief and chief apologist who has inhabited the people's house for the last three and a half years.

The people are speaking and they are telling Barack Obama to pack his trash and call the movers, because come January, the lease is up. Watch for the left to panic in the next month as the conventions approach.

If tonight’s reporting is correct, and if Mitt Romney really does announce at 9 A.M. Saturday that Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is his running mate, Romney has made the most daring decision of his political career.
After spending weeks looking into Ryan’s history for The New Yorker, visiting his home town, and interviewing him twice, I am genuinely surprised that Romney chose him. First, let’s tally the risks of a Ryan pick.
For one thing, Ryan has no significant private-sector experience. Besides summer jobs working at McDonald’s or at his family’s construction company, or waiting tables as a young Washington staffer, Ryan has none of the business-world experience Romney frequently touts as essential for governing. In the run-up to his first campaign for Congress, in 1998, that gap was enough of a concern for Ryan that he briefly became a “marketing consultant” at the family business, an obvious bit of résumé puffing.
But Ryan’s Washington experience is also light, at least for a potential President—which, after all, is the main job description of a Vice-President. Ryan has worked as a think-tank staffer and Congressman, but he’s never been in charge of a large organization, and he has little experience with foreign policy. Given how Sarah Palin was criticized for her lack of such experience, I’m surprised that Romney would pick someone whose ability to immediately step into the top job is open to question.

I am an American

I am an American, born and bred.
I am not a hyphenated mutation of some multicultural melting pot.
I have no need of class envy, as an American it is enough to know that I am envied by those of all other nations.
My heritage runs deep, through generations and across millions of other proud individuals who are also Americans.
My fathers fought and died for my freedoms and for my enduring  future.
My mothers nursed my family and raised us proud and respectful of who we are and what we represent as a nation.
I ask no man's forgiveness for who I am, nor do I apologize for  the failures of those who hate me because I am an American.
I care not for the umbrage of those who may detest my being and the existence of my nation. They know not what honor is.
I bow to no foreign influence and I care not if my existence offends those whose only interest in my country is envy and a desire to see it destroyed.
I am an American. Ask my help and I will give it gladly, wrong me or attack me or attack my country and incur my terrible wrath and that of my brothers.
It is neither my desire nor my destiny to follow or be led by those incapable of understanding what freedom truly is.
 It is my shared destiny with others, to lead the weak and to demonstrate by my actions, that good prevails over evil.
Dedication, commitment and hard work, combined with sacrifice, faith and an observance of creation and the creator in all things are the fibers that have made this nation great.
Be my friend or be my enemy, the choice is yours, but know this when you choose. What ever your choice, I will bring forth all of my most forceful and enduring qualities to either side of the relationship you desire.
Arrows or olive branches, the choice is yours. Choose wisely.
I am an American and I am prepared to deliver that which will honor and protect my God, my family, my country and my flag.
An oath once taken to defend against all enemies is more than just words to an American.

Semper Fi

Cronyism or man love?

There are a lot of people who seem to think the latter is a more accurate reflection of the relationship. You decide.

Obama sends Reggie Love to Olympic closing ceremonies

August 9, 2012

President Obama just announced the official delegation for the Olympic closing ceremonies. His former body man Reggie Love is among the group of dignitaries that will attend.Love served as Obama’s “body man” until he quit his job to pursue a Masters degree in Business Administration.

So.....you need permission to utilize a business that someone else owns? Novel idea. But then again? Didn't Obama say that if you have a successful business in America? You didn't build that. Someone else did that. Someone like Obama obviously built this woman's deli business. Therefore, by default, pres Obama ought to have access to any level of another person's success that he chooses. Right.

See how liberal logic and integrity works....it's all logical. Right?

Deli owner: Take my store out of Obama ad

The owner of a specialty deli at Findlay Market wants her store’s name removed from an ad President Barack Obama is using to defend his record on small business.
• Watch the ad
Ten seconds into the ad “Always,” a man is shown from behind, pushing up the security door of Krause’s while Obama’s voice talks about owners sacrificing to make their businesses run.
The owner of the store, Debra Krause-McDonnell, said that she did not give permission for her business to be shown and that some customers have told her they’ll no longer shop there.
“I’ve been put into a position I didn’t ask for,” she said Wednesday after the Hamilton County Republican Party sent out an email about the ad that accused Democrats of not responding to the owner’s concerns. “I’m a little angry.”
She’d be just as angry, she said, if it were an ad for Mitt Romney.
A store manager knew about the filming, Krause-McDonnell said, but was told it was for a survey on riot doors, those metal garage-type doors that pull down and lock to protect storefronts. That might be true, said Caleb Faux, director of the Hamilton County Democratic Party, who researched the ad confusion and spoke with Obama campaign officials in Columbus.

Obama's Malignant Campaign Ad.

 Looks like the Obama camp is trying to de-ass responsibility for this ad as fast as they can. Only problem? It looks like the stink and stench leads right back to them.

Oops? Ain't working Barry.

Oops? President Barack Obama's re-election campaign washed its hands Wednesday of an independent group's vicious (and misleading) ad effectively blaming Mitt Romney for the death of a laid-off steelworker's wife from cancer. Campaign officials flatly denied any knowledge of the facts in the case—but it turns out the widower told the same story on an Obama campaign conference call in mid-May. (The Obama campaign responded late in the day: See update below).

"We have nothing, no involvement, with any ads that are done by Priorities USA. We don't have any knowledge of the story of the family," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One on Wednesday. The ad features Joe Soptic, who lost his job and his health benefits after Romney's Bain Capital closed the GST Steel plant in Kansas City, Mo., in 2001.

Soptic later told CNN that his wife had health insurance through her own employer from that point to 2002 or 2003, when she left that job because of an injury—a detail that undermines the ad's heartbreaking narrative. "I don't know the facts about when Mr. Soptic's wife got sick, or the facts about his health insurance," deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter told CNN on Wednesday.

There is obvious no low or pale that these people won't stoop to to promote this man. I wonder, if anyone has looked into how many of the 20,000 Delphi non union members  who had their pensions destroyed by Obama, ended up losing their insurance. I don't care to know of the suffering, just a number of those who lost their insurance as a direct result of what 'this president' and his union cronies did once he was in office.

Stolen pensions: Why mr. president?

Listen to the voices of the victims of Barack Obama's fairness. Watch and see for yourself how his union supporting policies have destroyed other segments of our society.


Barack Obama doesn't give a Tinker's Dam about you or your life, what you spent a lifetime working for or saving for. His interest lie singly in destroying this country and turning it into a third world spit like the dreams of his father and mentors have sought for a generation and more.

Go ahead, talk to the American people about fairness mr. president. Yes, lower case is fitting for the great barack obama because you have earned it. 

Decision to cut pensions 'political' decision

A series of emails between U.S. Treasury Department and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. employees show that the decision to effectively cut the pensions of Delphi salaried retirees “was a political decision, not a financial decision,” U.S. Rep. Mike Turner said Tuesday.
The 2009 decision stemmed from General Motors Corp.’s bankruptcy and affected the pensions of about 700 Dayton-area Delphi retirees. Some salaried retirees saw their pensions cut by as much as 70 percent, while hourly retirees represented by unions had their pensions made whole.
The emails, published Tuesday on the Daily Caller website, provide “additional impetus for future hearings and inquiries to require the administration to release documents,” said Turner, R-Centerville, a member of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Turner said: “We now have evidence that the administration has not been telling the truth.”
The Obama campaign issued a statement Tuesday saying the Delphi pensions had been handled properly.
“Corporate bankruptcies are tragic, and often lead to the loss of pension benefits. But the fact is that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation handled the Delphi salaried pension plan according to its standard procedure and the law. What’s more, the GAO, an independent, nonpartisan investigative agency, has determined that these decisions were not made by the administration and ... to politicize the situation at Delphi is insensitive,” said Jessica Kershaw, spokeswoman for Obama for America-Ohio.
U.S. Rep. Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek, said Tuesday the emails show “that this administration has placed itself in the position of picking winners and losers by using the federal Treasury and basing the decision upon political philosophy rather than fairness.”
“The truth is starting to emerge,” Washington Twp. resident Tom Rose told the Dayton Daily News Tuesday. Rose is a salaried Delphi retiree who spent 30 years working for GM and nine years working for Delphi.

France to raise taxes to 75% on the rich

 

Coming to a neighborhood near you in the near future. If Barack Obama is re-elected and Pelosi and Reid have their way, the battles of socialist class warfare will be furthered in the streets of America.

Never mind that the math of their grand scheme of taxation simply doesn't work. Nothing about socialism works or ever has worked for that matter, but it doesn't stop the Marxist among us from continuing to beat the drum. For they know that socialism is the first major step to their dream of a Marxist state.

The simple reality is, that half of the people cannot long remain the parasites of the productive half of any society. The economics simply do not work. Punishing the producers in the belief that this will somehow sustain those who refuse to work will always fail. A simple tour of history will clearly demonstrate the reality.

Thomas Jefferson and out founding fathers realized this over two hundred years ago. They realized then and they warned us then, to not allow the people to vote themselves more and more until ultimately the system collapses.

Indigestion for ‘les Riches’ in a Plan for Higher Taxes

The call to Vincent Grandil’s Paris law firm began like many others that have rolled in recently. On the line was the well-paid chief executive of one of France’s most profitable companies, and he was feeling nervous.

President François Hollande is vowing to impose a 75 percent tax on the portion of anyone’s income above a million euros ($1.24 million) a year. “Should I be preparing to leave the country?” the executive asked Mr. Grandil.

The lawyer’s counsel: Wait and see. For now, at least.

“We’re getting a lot of calls from high earners who are asking whether they should get out of France,” said Mr. Grandil, a partner at Altexis, which specializes in tax matters for corporations and the wealthy. “Even young, dynamic people pulling in 200,000 euros are wondering whether to remain in a country where making money is not considered a good thing.”

A chill is wafting over France’s business class as Mr. Hollande, the country’s first Socialist president since François Mitterrand in the 1980s, presses a manifesto of patriotism to “pay extra tax to get the country back on its feet again.” The 75 percent tax proposal, which Parliament plans to take up in September, is ostensibly aimed at bolstering French finances as Europe’s long-running debt crisis intensifies.

But because there are relatively few people in France whose income would incur such a tax — an estimated 7,000 to 30,000 in a country of 65 million — the gains might contribute but a small fraction of the 33 billion euros in new revenue the government wants to raise next year to help balance the budget.

The French finance ministry did not respond to requests for an estimate of the revenue the tax might raise. Though the amount would be low, some analysts note that a tax hit on the rich would provide political cover for painful cuts Mr. Hollande may need to make next year in social and welfare programs that are likely to be far less popular with the rank and file.

One communist campaigns for another.

Penn with Chavez knuckle bumping and waving to the crowd. And the really sick part? There are millions of Americans who will go to see this little communist bastards next film and think that he is so special as an actor. The man is a traitor to this county, cut from the same cloth as the likes of Jane Fonda.

Venezuelan despot Hugo Chavez is one of America's sworn enemies.
Despite this, actor Sean Penn visited Venezuela Sunday to campaign for one of the world's most despised dictators.
Reuters reports:

U.S. actor Sean Penn joined President Hugo Chavez at an election rally in Venezuela on Sunday, bringing a dash of Hollywood to the campaign as he rode with him atop a truck past cheering supporters.

Penn is a friend of Chavez, who hopes to win a new six-year term on October 7. The campaign has turned into the toughest fight of the president's political career.

"Thank you very much for visiting us again, dear friend," Chavez said after introducing Penn to the big crowd in the central city of Valencia. "We're all Americans, from the north, the center, the south. Long live the American continent!"

Penn, in a white shirt and sunglasses and accompanied by Argentine producer Fernando Sulichin, waved from the stage, fist-bumped and hugged Chavez, but did not address the rally.

The left finally has its bogey man

 

The shooter at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin appears to be everything that the left and the media have been dreaming of since 9/11. White racist affiliations, hateful band member and lyrics. Now all they need is to find a Romney bumper sticker on his car and a Rush Limbaugh poster in his home and their dream will be complete.

Meanwhile, this maniac shot and killed six people because of what he thought they represented.  Sikhs are not Muslims. As a matter of fact, they don't get along with Muslims at all. Totally different religions and belief systems.

Wade Michael Page, the tattooed white supremacist and former Army soldier police say gunned down six Sikhs in a Milwaukee-area temple before a police officer killed him, spread his message of hate through several rock bands for more than a decade before mounting his bloody rampage Sunday.
Playing guitar and singing in various bands -- including Definite Hate and End Apathy -- in the obscure skinhead punk scene, the 40-year-old Page spewed his lyrics at ear-splitting volume in small underground bars and on independent record labels. In an April 2010 interview with Label 56, the label that carries End Apathy's music, Page described the message behind his songs.

"He was involved in the scene."

- Heidi Beirich, Southern Poverty Law Center

"The topics vary from sociological issues, religion and how the value of human life has been degraded by being submissive to tyranny and hypocrisy that we are subjugated to," Page said.
White power lyrics, which frequently discuss genocide against the Jews and other minorities, are so violent and twisted that the music is typically available only over the Internet, according to experts. In a song called "Self-Destruct" by End Apathy, Page growls his dismal vision of life in the U.S.
     "You betray your dignity for this miserable life,
     Refuse to think for yourself, you want to be led."
On End Apathy's MySpace page, band members call their music, “a sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress.” Other bands on the Maryland-based music label include Force Fed Hate, Final War, Absolute Terror and Spirit of the Patriot.
Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's intelligence project, said Page had been on the group's  radar since 2000, when he tried to purchase goods from the National Alliance, a well-known hate group. She said the group has evidence that Page attended "hate events" around the country.
"He was involved in the scene," Beirich said.
