seriously...
While listening to local progressive talk radio, the topic of discussion was how business owners threaten employees by telling them that their health care may change or be eliminated if Obama is re-elected. Of course, the left looks at this as some sort of veiled threat they they could lose their jobs if they vote for Obama. Seriously?? I'm sure unions have never had any influence on how workers should vote and how that influence could be seen as a threat. Every worker toes the union line so there could never be a union worker who feels threatened. Seriously, does the left really want to go there? Why yes, the ends justify the means.

How rude!...
...the rudeness shown by Vice President Biden by laughing, smiling and interrupting, shouldn't be viewed as a big surprise. Rudeness and interruption has been part of the progressive m.o. for a long time. Whether it is progressive hecklers interrupting speeches by conservatives, Al Gore sighing and getting in the face of George Bush or the occupiers of Wall Street, Madison and everywhere breaking windows, hassling people and crapping in public. It's really no big surprise.

failure...
...could it be that President Obama'a failure in last night's debate can be attributed to the fact that his arguments for progressivism can't hold up the the free market arguments of Mitt Romney? Nah, he was just having an "off night."

Enemy
Start reading this post with an open mind.
You are an enemy of the United States. Why? Because you hate the freedom that those ignorant and arrogant westerners enjoy. Your teacher in school gave you this opinion and you have thought this way ever since. You hate how they have "rights" and that women can walk around as if there is no man to tell them what to do and when to do it. You hate that they can say whatever they want, however they want, whenever they want. You hate this so much, that you begin to devote your entire life to jihad and the destruction of the Western way of life. After all, your religious beliefs tell you to eliminate all infidels that do not convert to the religion of Islam. You also hate that many of the people that share your religion, do not share your interpretation of your religion, and your disdain for America and the western way of life.
You remember back to that day in 2001 when Islam was victorious against the infidels. Ever since that day you have looked up to that man who was responsible for those acts and wills of Allah. It was that man who gave you courage and the ambition to try and squeeze every last drop of freedom from the infidels. Since then, you have been trying to compose a brilliant plan to destroy the Westerners freedom. You received help from the very people who you wish to destroy when they sent weapons to the Middle East to aid us rebels in our fight for Shariah. You also realize that the leaders of that vile country will not retaliate against for attack. They will only apologize for anything they have done to you, even when they have done nothing at all. This makes it that much easier for you to decide what has to be done.
It has been some time since your quest for Shariah to reign supreme around the world. Now, you believe you have concocted a plan that cannot be stopped and will not fail. A few weeks ago you noticed a trailer for a movie that denounces and smears the name of your beloved prophet. This video angers you, and fuels the fire to take away the Westerners freedom. Suddenly it hits you. The perfect plan. You show this video to your fellow crusaders for Shariah and they to believe your plan will work.
You hate that their is an embassy representing the vile West in your land and it makes it an easy target to attack. It makes the person representing the infidels an even easier target to kill. You will follow this representative to learn his schedules and learn his routine. You plan the attack for the anniversary of Islam's victory against the United States. You plan to continue the work of the great one who you have admired for all these years. You will use the weapons supplied by the Americans and some of your own RPG's. You will gather your posse by showing them the video that sparked this plan and tell them that they must not get away with this. You will send the mob to create chaos and confusion knowing that this chaos and confusion will spread to other Islamic countries around the globe. When the time is right you and your other conspirators will grab the Ambassador and drag him for a victory lap. Once you are done you will kill him.
Once this act has been executed the media of the United States will focus on the seemingly apparent reason for this uproar. A 14 minute video on the internet that mocks our prophet. You too will cry out against this video, citing it for the riots and reason for killing, knowing full well of what your intentions are. When the media and leaders of the United States start citing the video as the reason, you know your plan will succeed. When they do this, you and your other brothers, including the newly-"elected" President of Egypt, will cry for limitations and abolition of the free-speech of Americans. You know that many in the UN, including the hard-working leader of Iran, will agree with these talks of limitations and abolition. Once a goal that you never thought was possible has now become reality. The freedoms of America have finally started to be eroded away. Who would have thought that a nation that was once so impenetrable could now be influenced from the other side of the globe. You rejoice for your accomplishment. You have succeeded in continuing the work of the one who started the work 11 years ago. It will not be long until the caliphate has been restored and Shariah and Allah will reign supreme throughout the world.

let's just think about this for a minute...
Okay, let's concede for a minute that Bush's failed policies over the eight years previous to Obama becoming president was the only reason Obama inherited such a dismal, darn near over the cliff, economy. Think about this for a minute....why the hell would he want to make it worse?!!!! Could it be that it furthers his progressive agenda?

Were we supposed to sit on our hands?
I'm glad that our President has time to appear on late night talk shows while the Middle East burns, aren't you? Anyways, the President was on Letterman the other night and I watched it and something that he said got me asking some questions. Letterman told the President that at the RNC they had a debt clock and it was counting up really fast and he asks the President, "What is that?" The President responds with talking about a surplus during the Clinton years. He then proceeds to talk about how we launched two wars, which we paid for by using a credit card. Let's stop right there. Mr. President, were we supposed to just sit back like nothing happened after those planes hit the twin towers? You hear Democrats all the time talking about two unjustified wars that the United States have forced upon others. Really, unjustified. I mean we were attacked and nearly 3,000 American citizens were killed an audacious and evil attack, and we were supposed to do nothing. See Mr. President, President Bush didn't apologize to Al-Qaeda for America being the greatest nation on earth. No, he said we are going to find the people responsible for this and take them out. So, while the wars weren't great for the spending problem(any war never is), I think it was justified to go after the people who tried, and succeeded, to kill Americans.

hello walls...
We are always reminded that there are liberal walls around Madison. The latest example is the Dane Co judge who deemed Act 10 unconstitutional. While once again legislating from the bench, a liberal ignored the mandate from the recall. Why the hell spend all the money on the recall when this was really the goal?

The Hypocritical Left
When will the hypocrisy end? My guess...never. The Democrats and hardcore leftist will continue to blindly throw lies at an imaginary dart board until something sticks and the leftist media rolls with it. And I can’t stand to hear one of these lies or blatant falsehoods, such as "Republicans hate senior citizens!" Or, "Conservatives don't want the homeless to be fed!," without wanting to pick up my TV and throw it out the window.
Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) decided that his party was lacking, in the category of lies, that he decided to throw another one out in the open for everyone to hear. He was giving an interview about faith and politics and said something that I thought was blatantly hypocritical. He started out by saying, "No campaign should be based on faith." He than continues by saying, “Democrats, by and large, have always been pretty strict adherents to the Constitution," “We believe in the separation of church and state.” (wow) Seriously, he said this. That statement comes from the party where many Democrats want to strip American citizens of their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to defend themselves. Then he delivers one of the most offensive and hypocritical statements I have ever heard. He states, “What we’ve gotten from a lot of my Republican friends has been a lot of recitations of their faith, but when it comes time to fulfill what we find in Matthew 25 — do ‘unto the least of these’ — to them there‘s something wrong with feeding people when they’re hungry. This is not the Christian way that you do things.”
Excuse me Congressman! May I direct you to a little event that one of my role models put on in late July. You may have heard of it, Restoring Love.(Maybe not because it wasn’t covered by the Mainstream leftist media..) Yes, It was Mr. Glenn Beck who asked for support from his fellow conservatives to send food donations to Texas, so that it could be distributed to food pantries in need across the country. It was conservatives and freedom-lovers that sent 12 tractor trailers full of food and clothing to 11 different areas in need of food. Two trucks went to the Navajo Indian reservation. (Maybe Elizabeth Warren was there, considering her newly discovered lineage.) There is no doubt that conservatives will spring to action when people are in need. However, there are some people getting in the way of our help for our fellow man. It has been the Democratic mayors, in numerous cities around the country, that have lead the way in legal action against feeding the homeless in our communities. May I direct you to just a couple of different instances where bans against feeding the homeless and hungry have been introduced.
A recent case is that of the City of Philadelphia. Where, Democratic Mayor Michael Nutter introduced a ban on feeding the homeless in public parks. Seriously! I guess there must be a perfectly good explanation for this, Mr. Mayor? I mean, there are people starving and you are stopping good, decent people from feeding them. Nutter stated that the ban would, “protect the dignity of the homeless, cleanliness of the parks, and eliminate food health concerns.” I’m pretty sure that the homeless people know that they are homeless and just want some decent food. Luckily, a federal judge struck down this un-christian like ban.
Another example of the Democratic Party banning the feeding of homeless persons, comes from Houston, TX. In early 2011 the City of Houston, who’s mayor at the time(and current mayor) was Annise Parker (D), prohibited a Texas couple from feeding the homeless. Those two generous Texans started a Christian based initiative called, “Feed A Friend,” that served anywhere from 60-120 people every night until the operation was shut down by the city. Kathy Barton from the Health and Human Services Department of Houston stated, “Anyone serving food for public consumption, whether for the homeless or for sale, must have a permit.” The reasoning for shutting down this Christian operation was, “poor people are the most vulnerable to foodborne illness and also are the least likely to have access to health care." I think that the homeless will take their chances with the foodborne illness and the lack of healthcare in order to get a hot meal. This excuse is such a pathetic one because they had no good reason to stop this couple from serving food. The only plausible reason that I could think of is that they want the Government to do all of the distribution of food. They wan’t the homeless to be dependent on the Government.
A final case comes to you from the, progressive-infested, liberal stronghold that is, New York City. We all know who the Mayor of NYC is, Nanny Bloomberg. I know what your saying... “Bloomberg was a Republican!” Yes he was, and may I say that he never belonged in the realm of Conservatism. He switched to Democrat, and then to Independent, but he isn’t fooling anybody. If you look at his policies he aligns completely with the Democratic-Progressive platform. He just doesn’t want to say he is a Progressive because he knows it will lose him points in the political arena. He just can never seem to just sit back and count his $22 billion net worth. Nope, he always has to be pushing regulation down the throats of his constituents. (Not surprisingly, however, many do not seem to mind) From the banning of large sugary drinks to the city-wide ban on firearms, Bloomberg has done what most Progressives dream of doing. He has also banned donations to food pantries in NYC. His reasoning for doing this is because the city can’t determine the salt, fat and fiber content of the donations. Mr. Nanny I don’t think the people that don’t get a solid meal everyday care about the salt, fat and fiber content of the food that they obtain through local food pantries. And I’ve got news for you Bloomberg. If I am ever in NYC and I see somebody in need of food and all I have is the saltiest bag of Fritos, I’m going to give that bag to them.
So, Congressman Clyburn, I think those three cases of Democratic (and Democratic aligning) mayors, obstructing the will of the people to do good, shows the hypocrisy of your party. I am sick of moronic Democratic Congressmen, like yourself, saying that Conservatives don’t care about anybody but themselves. Because the truth is, we care about those in need, and we believe in the American people to take care of their fellow man. We also don’t believe that the Federal Government should have it’s hands in the issues that matter to a specific community. I also ask, Congressman, to be prepared for this November, because the American people are waking up and seeing right through your hypocritical lies. We will be at the ballot box on November 6th, and we will be victorious.

Romney and Ryan Spells Victory and Substance
I didn't think Romney had it in him. I had been loosely following the possible VP choices for months and Ryan's name was always in the mix but I though he would go with a more vanilla choice. By picking Ryan Romney has essentially stated that he is going to make this election about substantive issues like taxation, jobs, health care, and the outlandish levels of national spending. This is going to give Romney the conservative vote that has been waffling on supporting him all along as well as the disillusioned independent voters who are ready for real debate on tough issues.
Anyway, the prediction:
Romney/Ryan 52%
Obama/Biden 48%

I'll take my ball and go home...
When you can't get your way, take your ball and go home. That seems to be Tim Cullen's way to do things. First, he ran away to Rockford to avoid the vote on the public sector changes. Then, he quit the democratic caucus to get a better commitee position. He gamed the Wisconsin public then gamed the democrat party. What's worse, the temper tantrums or Mark Miller capitulating to his tantrum? We are told to be good parents we should not give in to our kid's tantrums. Maybe the democrats need to grow up?

kick the habit...
One of the main excuses I've heard for people not to quit smoking is that the person will gain weight. It seems the that the smoke less/eat more philosophy is a choice rather than a natural occurrence. It seems that it would be the same scenario in education. The idea that poverty automatically causes poor student achievement also seems to be a choice rather than a natural occurrence. Liberals and progressives seem to feel this is the case. Poverty does not cause kids to lose intelligence. It's the choices people make. It needs to be proven that somehow poverty automatically causes kids not to pick a book, not to listen in class, not to go to class, make parents unwilling to work with their children, and cause teachers to be incompetent. Otherwise, it is still a choice that is made. When liberals draw this conclusion, they want to throw more money in the system. The money is not the problem. There needs to be an attitude change about what makes for better education. Once people start to believe that going to class, reading books, and working with kids, their education will improve and their chances to succeed improve even more.

The Home of the Brave
On this day, two hundred and thirty-six years ago, the brave men and women of this country decided to stare tyranny in its eyes and simply defy it. To declare themselves a free nation, under God, united as one. United as one to throw off an oppressive and tyrannical Government that was strangling the life out of their businesses and livelihoods.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security.”- Declaration of Independence
Think about that for a second. Farmers, blacksmiths, silversmiths, accountants, preachers, and many more set out to take on the most powerful military force in the world. By the grace of God, were they victorious. They knew that man was meant to be free and had faith, in divine providence, to preserver and scream, “liberty or death!” And so, the American spirit was born. The spirit to work hard and achieve whatever we set our minds to. That’s really what this holiday is all about, to take a step back and realize who we are as a people. Who we are as Americans. To realize that this nation that we live in was born to be a beacon of light and freedom to the world. It’s also a time to realize that in order for this nation to survive and thrive it had to be protected. That is why we are the home of the brave. We have men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line to protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. And we thank them for that on this day.
So, on Independence day, we recognize the valiant efforts of George Washington, Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and all of the founders who laid the framework of this great nation. A framework that allows man to have their God given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But, most of all, we recognize the efforts of the citizens who we do not know. The citizens who, in 1776, decided to band together to throw off tyranny in favor of what they knew was right. Freedom. And the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. So, this fourth of July while you are with your families and friends, take a second, to realize just how great this country is and how it was all made possible to live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
May God Bless these United States

trickle down..
Ok. Let me get this straight. President Obama commented on how the private sector is "doing fine." David Axelrod commented on how the public sector is struggling and needs more funding to get more money to public sector employees so they have more money to spend to help the economy. I thought trickle down economics was a bad thing, according to those on the left. Trickle down economics seems to be ok as long as it is tax payer dollars that are trickling down. Just another example of the left's hypocrisy.

"This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land."
You all know that famous song by Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, or Woody Guthrie. Have you ever heard the last two versus? Probably not, because it isn't usually sung. Without those last three versus it seems that this song is about sharing America with one another and all getting along. But, when you read those last two versus the meaning of the song drastically changes. It's not a surprise that the real meaning of the song is the advocation for no private property, because the song was written by a communist. Yes, Woody Guthrie was a communist, and the first plank of the Communist Manifesto is the abolition of all private property. Don't believe me? Read it for yourself.
*N
This Land Is Your Land Words and Music by Woody Guthrie This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts; And all around me a voice was sounding: This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me. |

"The Wilkow Guide to Two Way Media Perception"
Andrew Wilkow guest hosted the Glenn Beck Program on GBTV today and had some fascinating points. Wilkow is a XM radio host of "The Wilkow Majority," who's train of thought aligns pretty close to that of Glenn Beck. He illustrated his "Wilkow Guide to Two Way Media Perception," using Glenn's famous chalkboard. It is revolves around the premise that the media portrays Liberals and Conservatives, who have the same attributes, differently His observation is completely right once you think about it. His presentation of the guide can be found on demand at gbtv.com under the May 9, 2012 Glenn Beck Program show. I thought that I would present some of different perceptions that the media gives about liberals and conservatives here. If you think about it, Wilkow is not far off at all.
If you have spent time in Washington:
Conservative: you are part of the problem.
Liberal: you have experience.
Liberal: you have experience.
If you don’t have time in Washington:
Conservative: you have no experience.
Liberal: you represent change.
Liberal: you represent change.
If you have wealth:
Conservative: you are greedy and a cheat who had advantages in life.
Liberal: you are successful and your life story is an inspiration.
Liberal: you are successful and your life story is an inspiration.
If you don’t have wealth:
Conservative: you are low class.
Liberal: you are disadvantaged.
Liberal: you are disadvantaged.
If you went to college:
Conservative: your academic pedigree is scrutinized.
Liberal: your degree speaks for itself.
Liberal: your degree speaks for itself.
If you didn’t go to college:
Conservative: you are un-educated.
Liberal: you are an artist/activist.
Liberal: you are an artist/activist.
If you own a business:
Conservative: you are a profiteer.
Liberal: you provide jobs to the community.
Liberal: you provide jobs to the community.
If you are working class:
Conservative: you’re just a (insert job title or trade).
Liberal: you are a proletariat who finds strength in numbers.
Liberal: you are a proletariat who finds strength in numbers.
If you believe in the wisdom of the constitution:
Conservative: you are narrow minded.
Liberal: you are a civil libertarian.
Liberal: you are a civil libertarian.
If you believe in individual freedoms:
Conservative: you have made peace with inequality.
Liberal: you are for choice.
Liberal: you are for choice.
If you take to the streets to voice your opinions:
Conservative: you are a thug.
Liberal: you are a demonstrator.
Liberal: you are a demonstrator.
If you are religious:
Conservative: you are a fundamentalist or "bible-thumper."
Liberal: you are spiritual.
Liberal: you are spiritual.
If you are serving in the military:
Conservative: you are a mindless killer.
Liberal: you wear the uniform of your country.
Liberal: you wear the uniform of your country.
If you are popular:
Conservative: you have blind sheep followers.
Liberal: you are leading a movement.
Liberal: you are leading a movement.
If you are attractive:
Conservative: you are shallow and empty.
Liberal: you are stunning and a trend setter.
Liberal: you are stunning and a trend setter.
If you are un-attractive:
Conservative: you are just ugly.
Liberal: you are too intellectual to be concerned with your appearance.
Liberal: you are too intellectual to be concerned with your appearance.
If you enjoy an outdoors lifestyle:
Conservative: you are a redneck.
Liberal: you are earthy.
Liberal: you are earthy.
If you look at how the media portrays Mitt Romney, and then how they portray Barack Obama, it is fairly obvious that the points that Wilkow make are true.

Hannity Destroys Occupy Organizer in Epic Interview
Sean Hannity invited a prominent Occupy organizer onto his fox news program the other day and really let him have it. Remember this is the same organizer who told Al Sharpton, on his joke of a show on MSNBC, that occupy wasn't seeking reform, they were seeking revolution. Harrison Schultz is his name and is a self described anarchist and absolutely loathes capitalism. Check out the entertaining smack down that Hannity gives to this guy who really has know idea what he is talking about.

Romney is out of touch....really?
This just goes to show how ridiculous the mainstream media is. O'Donnell has Alec Baldwin come on, who is a hollywood sitcom star, to analyze Mitt Romney. Baldwin spits out the Democrat's talking points about how out of touch Mitt Romney is from the average citizen. Excuse me!? According to theblaze.com (and many other sites), Mr. Baldwin's net worth is $65 million. If anything Alec Baldwin is also out of touch with the average citizen, so he has no room to go around chastising Romney for making "too much" money. He says that Romney wouldn't know what a 1/2 gallon of milk costs, like the average American. Ok, so what if he doesn't. I know that my vote for the presidency will not depend upon the candidates knowledge of dairy products. I would be willing to bet all of that $65 million that Mr. Baldwin did not know the cost of a 1/2 gallon of milk before he made that appearance.
And also, Mr. Baldwin, what about the Queen herself, Michelle Obama. A woman who sends servants out to buy her a $40,000 tennis bracelet. A woman who has taken 16 vacations since moving to the white house. A woman who took a $500,000 trip to Spain with her friends. A woman who made the President of the United States worry about their bank account because of her lavish spending!!!! Don't tell us that Mitt Romney is out of touch with the American people when you are worth $65 million and your beloved first lady, who wants to shove broccoli down our throats, sits upon her high throne as Queen of the United States, while sending her minions and servants out to go buy her stuff!!
I cannot take it anymore. I cannot take the left's lies, hypocrisy, or stupidity any longer. Although, some of it is just plain incompetence, I believe they are doing it on purpose. They are trying to distract us from the only thing that a re-election candidate can run on, their record. Obama has such a poor record that the only thing that they can do is distract the American people from the President's terrible record. And while they are distracting us they are also by-passing congress while Cass Sunstein regulates us to death. This president wants to see America change, and change more towards his ideology. And when his parents, mentor, and grandparents were communists, and he hung out with Bill Ayers and Marxist professors in college it is so clear as to what his ideology his. His policies also show that. It's time to stop the destruction of American and we start by fixing ourselves and then, voting in November.

I pledge allegiance...
While listening to local progressive talk radio today, a local radio host commented on a pledge of allegiance "controversy" that occurred recently in a US city. The fact that it occurred isn't the issue here. The issue is that this progressive radio host seemed to make a point that no politicians adhere to a pledge or the an oaths of office so why would anyone need to say the pledge or take an oath. In fact, he said the pledge was an "abject failure." In his defense, he did say he doesn't mind people reciting the pledge of allegiance. Thank you so much.
The progressive agenda needs citizens to let go of pledges, oaths and other promises in order to gain ground. These pledges and oaths are always given teeth by saying, "so help me God" or " under God." Progressives need us to let go of God and faith because these "unalienable rights" in the Constitution are given to us by God. Without the belief in God, the pledges, oaths and our Constitution itself becomes meaningless. Without the belief in a power higher than human beings, it becomes easier to lie, cheat, and violate pledges and oaths.
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
one Nation under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

Keep On Walkin'
I think the first lady said something that all conservatives can agree with. She said this:
YES! That is our fantasy also.: For you and your husband to walk straight out of the white house and keep on walking. I have a very strong feeling that, come November, voters will make the first lady's fantasy come true. Keep on walking Michelle.
Also, I noticed that she said that she would stop and have some ice cream. Wow, for somebody who is telling our servicemen and women that they will be vegetable eaters soon enough, that is kind of hypocritical, isn't it? See the transcript and story from the blaze.com here. These people in the white house are such hypocrites it's so mind-boggling how anybody can support them(who isn't a communist). They say that Mitt Romney is out of touch with the American people because he accomplished something in life, however, this first family continues to jet around the globe for vacations on the taxpayers dime. The most recent Michelle Obama vacation costing close to $500,000 of taxpayer money. (Story here) Excuse me? Mitt Romney is out of touch and you aren't. Don't feed us that bull crap because the American people are not stupid(even though they think we are). They have nothing to run but a smoke an mirrors campaign because he hasn't accomplished anything. And when it comes down to it, I think that the American people will see these liars for who they are, and we will make her fantasy come true in November.

spread the merit...
In a recent AP article about the recent merit bonuses given to many WI state employees by Todd Richmond, Marty Biel (the executive director of the largest state employee union) said the group (his union) has always had problems with merit pay because it smacks of favoritism... Wow. If merit pay causes favoritism, aren't those union and non-union employees who do less than others on the same pay scale being shown favoritism? It can't be both ways. How else is one awarded for performance above and beyond? How else are those who can distinguised from those who can't (or won't)? Where are the unions who claim they look out for and help all workers when this inequality arises? It's these pesky double standards that keep getting in the way of their philosophy. It's just another way progressives are doing their best to keep the masses the same. Except for a few chosen elites at the top.
A little research by union members on union roots and those who started them would open a lot of eyes. This would remove the blinders and they would get a full view. Not just the view of the ass in front of them.
It looks like we need to spread the merit around...

The Masks Are Coming Off
May I first point out that the ridiculous Buffett Rule will raise income taxes on people that make over a $1 million. May I also point out that Warren Buffett does NOT PAY INCOME TAX. This rule will not affect Buffett in the slightest way. Just today the President's weekly address came out and you can hear him speak is nonsense about the Buffett rule below:
Did you catch the part where he says, "We've tried this trickle down experiment before. It doesn't work." Excuse me Mr. President? May I ask you what happened during the roaring twenties? People who did not and could not afford any kind of luxury item such as a car or a refrigerator at the beginning of the twenties suddenly had those items at the end of the decade. Is that because we spread the wealth around for that one decade? No. It is because Calvin Coolidge lifted a lot of Woodrow Wilson's big government regulations which, in turn, allowed for business to prosper and led to more people being employed, and wages being increased. Capitalism is what this country was built on. That quote that I pointed out from the previous clip just shows you that their masks are coming off. The radicals, socialists, marxists, and communists are beginning to expose who they really are, and the media will not say a thing.
I will give the President has an example. How is it not clear what this man believes in when he attended radical Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years, started his political career in the living room of terrorist, Bill Ayers? Wright is a social justice preacher, and Bill Ayers is a terrorist who was part of the Weather Underground in the 1960's. I will also point out that Ayers was not admitted to Canada for the third time this past summer because of this terrorist past. Read more about Ayers terrorist past the here. Anyways, the weather underground was a radical group, who estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million United States citizens for their agenda to be instituted, and to prevent a counter revolution. Here it is straight from a former Weather Underground member:

Wait a second...Did he say re-education camps? I think we just heard this rhetoric recently. Watch.
I am so confused on how citizens of the United States, where capitalism has built a nation, cannot see what these so called "leaders" are saying. Is it because we don't want to hear it or are not paying attention? Of course not. It is a combination of indoctrination in our school systems and being lied to by our leaders. The masks are starting to come off and if something is not done, there could be guillotines rolled out into the streets. We have seen this mentality many times from the occupy movement.
I don't know how much clearer these radicals can make it. They are saying it and showing it to you, and nothing happens when they do say these radical things. I believe that this summer is going to be a crazy one. You will have the Occupy movement operating at it's fullest capacity, Tea Partiers fighting for individual freedom and liberty, and Radicals will be fanning the flames of chaos. This is why I do not believe the answer will come from politicians. It most certainly helps when you have honest and truthful politicians in Washington, who want to restore America to freedom, but the entire answer doesn't lie there. The Progressives and Radicals have hijacked American society and culture, and we need to take it back. If the population does not believe in freedom and individualism, no amount of policy can turn the country around. It starts from the bottom. Rebuilding a nation 1 person, 1 family, 1 entrepreneur, 1 town at a time.

"bleep" bless the USA!...
Progressives are again testing the water. Again, they keep dunking our youth to do it. When that school decided to change the word from "God" to "Love", what reaction did they expect? If there hadn't been the outcry to stop it, it would have been changed and further eroded liberty in this country. Creating an apathetic youth is what they need to do to accomplish their goal. Eroding one little bit at a time. They will keep nudging to see how far we can be pushed. We better push back whenever they do...
Hail to the king (part 3)...
That pesky Supreme Court and their annoying judicial review. President Obama has worked hard to make congress irrelevant and it is pretty clear he is trying to do the same to the Supreme Court. If he can get enough of the "useful idiots" to think the same way about the Supreme Court as he does, he may succeed. Oh, it may take a long time, but progressives are in it for the long haul! Is there any doubt he wants to be king? Hail to the king...or is it hail to the intellectual elite?

United Socialist/Communist/Fascist States of America?
Yes, if you pay any attention to truth, this is where we are headed as a nation. As of April 1, 2012 the United States of America holds the highest corporate tax rate in the WORLD. Yes, you heard me correctly, the WORLD. It was previously held by Japan, who was beating out our 39.2% rate with a 39.5% rate. Japan has just lowered their rate to a 38.01% leaving the United States with the highest corporate tax rate in the world. To put this in perspective: China is undoubtedly a communist country, and Communism is made up of huge Government that is accompanied by huge taxes. China has a corporate tax rate of 25%...Again, you did hear me correctly, 25%!
We are clearly on a path to some other form of economic system other than Capitalism. I have no idea what that system is. Ill just call it Political System X. It could be state capitalism, socialism, or, god forbid, communism or fascism. Throughout history it has been proven that none of the previous systems that I stated stated work. We saw fascism fail in Italy under the rule of Mussolini. We also saw Communism fail in the Soviet Union under Stalin, where 50,000,000+ people were killed because of famine. The famine was ultimately caused because of the Government takeover of all the private farms. We also saw Communism fail in China under Mao. Mao killed upwards of 50,000,000 because there was again, not enough food. There is proof throughout history that communism, fascism, etc. do not work, but our Government insists on Government run everything. From farming to healthcare, if the Government does not run it, you are getting hurt. However, if you look at history it is quite the opposite.
Capitalism is the only economic system where anybody can make it and you can have affordable food and various material goods. Example: you know when that brand new TV comes out and it costs $2,500 and there is no way that you can afford it. But, then you go back a couple years later and it is down to $1,000. That is capitalism at work. Because it is a few years old and a combination of new technology and not as much demand for that particular product, the company must lower the cost in order for people to keep buying it. That is Capitalism in a nutshell and it is clear that it is the only system that works.
For any hipster or occupier out there that might be reading this on their iPhone or iPad(not likely) and saying, "But Capitalism doesn't benefit the poor and we need to give the wealth to them." May I suggest the words of Benjamin Franklin, "We should make the poor uncomfortable and kick them out of poverty." If you keep handing them money they won't do anything to rise up and get out of poverty, so you must make them uncomfortable and make them do it by themselves. Oh yeah, and another thing for those hipsters who apparently hate large corporations, so you would think that they would hate Apple...Anyways, it is because of Capitalism that you can afford that iPhone or iPad that you are reading this on.

ding! ding! Order up!...
While listening to local progressive talk radio this morning, Marty Beil (executive director of AFSCME Council #24) commented on how Gov. Walker will be losing his job after the recall. He further commented that he would be changing jobs and how funny it would be if he ended up "flipping burgers." Apparently, Mr. Beil feels that flipping burgers is a lowly job that would be embarrassing for anyone to be doing. For someone who claims to be working for ALL workers, it seems strange that he would belittle any job or diminish the importance of any job. Any job that serves up tasty meat should be put on a pedestal!!

Guns and the 2nd Amendment a Very Important Aspect of This Presidential Campaign
The 2nd Amendment has been under fire from leftists and Progressives since the early 1900's. You see, the left believes that guns kill people, instead of the common sense logic that people kill people. It is also their belief that if you take guns away from the American people they will ultimately be powerless, and this is very true. If the big hand of Government comes down and grabs guns in one clean swoop, they will have no one to oppose them from transforming America into some sort of socialist or communist Government. If all of what Mr. Glenn Beck says is true, and I believe that most of it is, then grabbing guns will be a vital part of their plan because sooner or later people will wake up and if they have guns they can indeed be persuasive, and stop the Government. In no way am I advocating or telling people to go out and charge the capital or the white house with their guns, I am simply examining the mental side and the power that a gun has, simply when it is just sitting in your hands or at home.
I believe that if President Obama gains a second term as President he will ultimately make gun control a top issue of his administration. I believe he will start out by having Mr. Cass Sunstein create crippling regulations on firearm and ammunition manufacturers, or perhaps, a convenient tax will be placed on ammunition. Ultimately, making the manufacturers jack up their prices to make a profit, thus making guns and ammunition unaffordable to the average citizen. I also wouldn't put it past him to just start out by taking guns away. This is why I believe that Guns and the 2nd Amendment are one of the top, if not the top, issue in this year's Presidential and Congressional elections. I urge you to stand with the NRA and other organizations who are fighting for your 2nd Amendment rights.

Prediction: Walker/Republican Nominee wins = cries of voter fraud
I have been doing some thinking and have come up with a reasonable hypothesis. If you look at the method that George Soros uses to collapse countries and currencies, you will notice that his last step is to cry voter fraud. Soros' method can be seen here: PART I & PART II. Anyways, you may have noticed that national and state voter ID laws have come under heavy fire with some being strongly opposed to some being blocked by courts. It's interesting, it seems like such a basic concept to have somebody who is voting to prove that they are, indeed, who they say that they are. It's common sense and a no-brainer. However, the leftists do not think so. They say that it will unfairly target minorities and senior citizens who may not have a drivers license and may not be able to get to the DMV to obtain a valid ID. It also hinders the ability for illegals to vote, which is why it is common sense, to us normal minded people, but to them it violates their human or universal rights. I'm sorry, but we don't live under universal rights we live under our Constitution. Anyways, I believe that they may be blocking voter ID for another reason.
If Soros' plan is plausible, and I think it is, they could be blocking voter ID laws so that they CAN cry voter fraud. They will say that there is voter fraud and there won't be any way of proving that there wasn't because the poll attendants weren't asking to see voters' IDs.
This may be one big conspiracy theory, and call me crazy, but I believe that it is plausible considering the way that our country is headed and what these so called "elected" leaders are doing to our country. It is all orchestrated and planned and they are all playing the game together, and they are winning. However, it is our turn to take our country back and I believe that we will win in the end.

Progressives...Moving America towards "Political System X" since 1900.
It was Stuart Chase who first outlined this plan in his book, "The Road We're Traveling." If I may point out here, the title of this book is very similar title to Barack Obama's new documentary(propaganda film), "The Road We've Traveled." Chase outlines this plan by Progressives that showed that we were on a road to a new ideology that would succeed capitalism, and he is in favor of it. Chase was not sure if it was state capitalism, socialism, communism, etc, so he called it "Political System X." Chase outlined the basic plan that has been used by progressives since the early 1900's when the party was started. Since then they have succeeded in mostly completing Phase One. Now they are on to Phase two, and Phase three will soon be here if we do not do something.
PHASE 1: INFILTRATE
PHASE 1: INFILTRATE
- Infiltrate & organize groups for control: EX: TIDES foundation, Media Matters, the Media, OWS, etc.
- Create Shadow Government (structure for Phase Three)
- Infiltrate: Government, Labor, Wall Street, Education, Media, Military, Courts, etc.
- Weaken: Faith, Youth, Heritage, Community
- Confuse concept of Right vs. Wrong
- Bring ALL into state of NEAR CRISIS
- Allow Chaos: OWS not charged with any crimes, while Tea Party's are, nothing being done about Black Panthers or Louis Farrakhan who are inciting violence.
- Encourage Chaos when possible: Politicians supporting OWS
- Enforce Negative Stereotypes
- Isolate/Destroy/Discourage "Truth"
- Encourage Reckless Habits
- Remain in Shadows
- Grab control to "protect
- "Liquidate" those who oppose or have been outlived: Tea Party/OWS
- Activate Shadow System
- Remain in CRISIS Mode
That plan allows for the Bottom to Rise Up(OWS), the Top to come down to control the chaos(Government), and the system to turn inside out(Political System X). The brilliance of this plan is that the people at the bottom creating the chaos are being told what to do by the people at the top who will come down and grab power. Once they come down and grab the power, the people at the top won't need the "useful idiots" anymore and they will kill them because they know the plan and who is behind it all. It is just like every robbery movie that we've seen. Once the henchmen bring the money to the leader, they are now longer needed, and they are killed. Glenn Beck outlined this plan on GBTV last week and you can find it here.

black gold, Texas tea...
It is very confusing as to why President Obama finds it ok for the USA to use oil pumped from holes in Saudi Arabia but not from holes here in the US. According to the President, it won't do any good to drill and pump more here but on the other hand he is asking for more production form the Saudis. Logic would dictate it really shouldn't matter from what hole in the ground the oil comes from NOT to make a difference!

thank you... thank you very much...
In light of the recent comments by Rush Limbaugh, it would seem once again that the progressives and left are showing the hypocrisy they that has become their M.O. With a complicit mainsteam media, they continue to tear apart conservatives who, whether they apologize or not, make inappropriate comments while at the same time honoring those on the left who, at the very least, make comments that are equally inflammatory.
Let's put a little different spin on this issue. Maybe progressives really do feel conservatives should be held to a higher standard. And maybe conservatives should take it as a compliment. It is better to be held to a higher standard than allow ourselves to be ok with falling to a lower standard. When the ends, justify the means, it is much easier to become a hypocrite. In a strange sort of way, maybe we should be thanking them. Most people will see right through the hypocrisy.

Skeptic of KONY 2012
When I saw KONY 2012 I was immediately intrigued and had to find out what this movement was all about. I watched the 30 minute video and could quickly see that the video was just a video telling it's audience what their cause is. Ok, not being satisfied, I decided to do some more digging to find out just who these people (Invisible Children) are.
Invisible Children is a not for profit organization that has been dedicated to fighting Kony and the LRA in Africa. I took a look at their financial report that they had posted on their website and found the special thanks section. In their I chose a random organization and I made a few connections to other organizations:
In the special thanks section of their report, they (Invisible Children) gave a shout out to Humanity United. Now, I do not know how "tight" these two organizations are, but if Invisible Children is thanking them they have to have dialogue and meetings from at least time to time to maybe much more than that. Anyways, Humanity United is partnered with many organizations, but two in particular caught my eye. Those two were none other than Center For American Progress and the TIDES Foundation (Organizations funded directly by George Soros). Yup, George Soros managed to find a way to get his hand in this. Plus, there are some other interesting ties that the senior leadership at Humanity United have.
Peter Rundlet has been the Vice President of Investments of Humanity United since 2010. Mr. Rundlet has had a very intriguing career. He was the Deputy Staff Secretary for President Obama, and Vice President for National Security and International Policy at (none other than) the Center For American Progress. Isn't that great?
Along with Mr. Rundlet, David Abramowitz, who is the Vice President for Policy & Government Relations at Humanity United, has appeared on the Center For American Progress website. Also, Mike Boyer, who is the Vice President for Strategic Communications at Humanity United was a "regular expert commentator on television and radio outlets such as Al Arabiya, Al Jazeera..." according to his bio.
As you can see there are some very interesting players at Humanity United, but the real question is how close are they with Invisible Children? That is the one connection that is the farthest stretch, but none the less, it is a connection that must be considered. You can see more counterarguments at theblaze.com and visiblechildren.tumblr.com.
As for my opinion on KONY 2012, I don't think that I would go and start supporting this organization with donations and time. There is no doubt the Joseph Kony is a very evil man and what he has done can not be justified in any way. However, I believe that there are bigger problems within our own borders, and I would support an organization dedicated to fighting those problems before KONY 2012. Not to mention all of the information that I acquired during my brief research. George Soros is a very big player in the decline of our currency and any organization that he has a tie to, I do not support. Also, any organization that has a left leaning agenda, which I think Invisible Children does, I do not support. I also believe that this spontaneous campaign is out to create young activists. There is no doubt that this campaign is directed straight at the youth of America. If I had any money to bet I would bet all of it on that these kids that become very involved in this campaign will be exposed to another campaign and agenda. OBAMA 2012. The left will take every chance they can to infiltrate this movement further than they already have. I wouldn't be surprised if Soros starts throwing money directly at the Invisible Children organization. So, I am going to steer clear of this "grassroots" movement.
As for some final advice to you, it comes in just three words...Question with Boldness.
