MSM Neesd CPR: What Chrisite O'Donell means for USA

 How long will it take for the MSM to get it straight? 

The Tea Party is not some flash in the pan group of rag-tag, redneck rabble. The American people are done sitting idly by as their government defaults on their future andThe Tea Party Primary victories are neither the beginning nor the end of what is a mass movement to throw the bums out and honor our constitutional rights to speech, assembly, and most important, the FRANCHISE. 

Yes WE CAN vote, WE HAVE voted, and WE WILL continue vote and to sweep the floor clean of the dusty do-nothings that "govern" us.  

But the Main Stream Media doesn't get it.

 

Take Christie O'Donnell's win last night in Delaware over Congressional incumbent Mike Castle. "How did that happen?" That's what the MSM wants to know. You already understand why. It's for the same reasons that the same Tea Party story is playing out in New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada,  Florida : because government is about the people and not about a party or an indefinitely ruling elite. 

But look at today's headlines: CBS - Christine O'Donnell Wins, and the GOP Loses | Dem Pundit: ‘Tea Party is Flesh Eating Bacteria For GOP’| O'Donnell win dims prospects for a GOP-controlled Senate

This is not the story that the MSM should be covering. It's not about the GOP. It's about the American people and what they want their government to look like - not what it looked like in the past. 

Now, I'm not saying that we should all jump on the bandwagon for any candidate that slaps a Don't Tread On Me sticker onto their bumper. It's necessary that we vet our candidates and do it well before we exercised our most sacred privilege and THROW THE BUMS OUT!

Ku Klux Kanjorski: The Left Has Racists Too

I just had to repost this video featured today on ABC. It is of  Rep. Paul Kanjorski stating that the new Finance Bill will give relief to those that he describes as, "people -- and they're not minorities and they're not defective and they're not all the things you'd like to insinuate that these programs are about -- these are average, good American people."
 
The notion that "minorities" should be classed with "defective people", and the implication that the category of "average, good American people" precludes the membership of "minorities" is asinine, offensive and deplorable. I don't care if the utterer of such a statement is lefty, righty, or ambidextrous. It doesn't matter. The problem is that such remarks indicate a profoundly stubborn ignorance and refusal to recognize the inherent 'Americanness' of people like myself, and other readers of this blog that don't give two licks about race, and just want to work hard for the advancement of our nation. We are everywhere, and marginalizing our productive citizenship is divisive, short-sighted, and un-American. Racism is clearly not the exclusive province of the Right, and it must be eradicated before Americans will be able to truly band together and rebuild this great country of ours.

Flashback: Ronald Reagan Reawakened

"It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel, and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We're not as some would have us believe doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing."

More than ever before Reagan's words are relevant to us all. Please take a few moments to listen to the Great Communicator put government in it's rightful place, inspire his citizens to draw upon the greatest qualities of the American spirit, and aspire to lead the world to prosperity. This was filmed at his first inaugural address on January 20, 1981:

Remember the American promise.

Runaway General: McChrystal McMadness

By now you must have heard of the dust up over candid remarks made by General Stanley McChrystal and some of his aides  regarding top administration officials,  recently printed in Rolling Stone. Obama was reportedly "furious" and called him in to Washington to be reamed out today. Some are even calling for the General's resignation!

Now it's evident that the President is very reactionary. He's always on the defensive-- backpedaling like a terrified unicyclist in the lion's den at the circus. The most recent example is his handling of the Gulf Oil Crisis. His critics cornered him into posing for contrived, up-rolled sleeve photo ops, and making that "Jesus save us all because suddenly I'm born again, and oh yeah let's pass my energy agenda!" PR speech last week. So I wouldn't be surprised if he fires this Hero because he wants to be seen as a stern Commander in Chief. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't because the man suffers a severe case of spinless-itis.

I reserved judgment either way until I read the Rolling Stone piece, which I did not find to be at all damning of the man. All he did was make it clear that he didn't feel like dining with a bunch of fake, fair weather Frenchies who want to cut and run from fighting the war on Terror, and that he's not a fan of Joe Biden (honestly, Biden should take his lessons from McChrystal in tempering one's words). Plus, this is all he said when preparing for questions about his thoughts on Biden among his aides: "Are you asking about Vice President Biden?" McChrystal says with a laugh. "Who's that?" Big Deal. Those Rolling Stone scoundrels never quoted him criticizing the President at all! Period. And he should not be responsible for the words of his aides, which also were nothing disparaging about the President.

Now I think that chain of command is important in the military, but a leader must earn respect before he will command it from accomplished, fearless, patriots like General McChrystal. Let's be serious, as the RS article points out: under his leadership "the Joint Special Operations Command, the elite forces that carry out the government's darkest ops...killed and captured thousands of insurgents, including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq." That is impressive, and it's no surprise that during their first meeting Obama "seemed 'uncomfortable and intimidated' by the roomful of military brass." And, with the President shaking in his penny loafers, their first one-on-one meeting "was a 10-minute photo op" and "Obama clearly didn't know anything about him" despite the fact that he was the man who would "run his f---ing war." 

Now the only thing that the General did that could ever been construed in an alternate universe as insubordination to his commander was pressing for more troops for the war last year in a report that was LEAKED. Hmmm, didn't thatwork in Iraq, and didn't Obama run on a platform of kickin some ass in Afghanistan? Well Obama dragged his feet for three months before deciding to make things happen and delivering that supremely uninspiring West Point speech on December 1st of last year. Since then the administration has provided no leadership where it should: political and diplomatic matters,  leaving the General and his men to do double and triple duty when they should be focused on winning a war.

Are you kidding me? Why should this man be fired? So that Obama can look good? No. That's not a good enough reason. He's done nothing but do his job, and has tried to bravely lead his men in the most abominably impossible circumstances for a "Commander" that won't even use the words "VICTORY" or "WIN". This man loves his country, and he's proven it by putting his life on the line and being a LEADER.

Obama is no leader, and I hope that he recognizes that the only credibility he retain will be due to surrounding himself with true patriots like General Stanley McChrystal. Even if he prefers Jack in the Box to arugula. Even if he flips the bird occasionally with the guys. Even if he's not some Ivy League Professor.

General Stanley McChrystal should not be fired, and the guys that wrote the article should think twice before capitalizing on America's insatiable appetite for inflated, unfounded controversy--- especially when it involves the men that protect us-- especially when we're at war.

Is the Tea Party Dead?

 

In an article for the Altlanta Journal-Constitution, Cynthia Tucker alleges that the Tea Party movement is dying, citing an ABC-Washington post poll reporting that "50 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of the movement, compared with 39 percent in March."



She then goes on to quote a Washington post article stating that the movement's lack of organization is at fault for its failure to have real political clout at the polls. The cited article additionally accuses the Tea Party of being another fairy dust grassroots flare up with no staying power:

“No one owns the tea party brand, and that’s kind of the problem,” said Brendan Steinhauser, grass-roots director for FreedomWorks, which organizes tea party groups. “In Virginia — it breaks my heart. You’ve got six self-appointed tea party candidates and one establishment guy. You’re not going to beat the establishment guy in that situation” . . .

This wouldn’t be the first time an American political movement began to fade soon after an energetic, even sizzling, beginning. And other movements — think Ross Perot — had the advantage of a charismatic leader. To survive, the tea party movement has an even steeper hill to climb because there is no central, guiding force.

Tucker then asserts that the Tea Party was a weak brew to begin with-- a movement that doesn't reflect popular sentiment or draw wide support from the American electorate, that's more about histrionic, fringe shenanigans than substance:

But the truth is, the tea party was never a strong or widespread movement. Only 18 percent of voters identify themselves as tea party supporters. But its loud, publicity-oriented antics draw news media attention, giving it more an appearance of clout than actual influence.

If you are reading this blog then you likely have the same hope that I do: That ordinary citizens, empowered by the Constitution, can enact change through grassroots association, organization, and voting power-- the way that our Founding Fathers intended. For us, the Tea Party is the vehicle that will roll us into the future that we envision: the return of America to fiscal responsibility, limited government and personal freedom. Now, if the poll numbers above are accurate, then respondents with an unfavorable view of the Tea Party (although of an unknown sample set) may have increased in the last few months. HOWEVER, that still means that 50 percent-- half of the country does NOT hold an unfavorable view of the Tea Party. That is significant.

However, an increase in unfavorability is definitely due to bad press. Although there is little most of us can do about liberal media pundits like Chris Matthews and his upcoming fear mongering and skewed portrayal of our movement on the far-left media outlet MSNBC, we still have the power to shape our image.

At a Tea Party 365 volunteer meeting last night in midtown New York, the group's founder, David Webb, urged us to stick to communicating our core principles. He cited a few of what he called "teachable moments" during which members of the Party had done it a disservice by straying from those principles in their portayal of our movement, to the detriment of the Party as a whole. This is an important point. We must reemphasize what our Tea Party (not personal) principles are whether we are communicating with the media or merely friends, family and neighbors. Solidarity and unity of message are key to any successful grassroots movement.

That said, looking back at the recent primaries in Nevada and Virginia, it is necessary to ask some questions concerning our unity.

1) Is disorganization hurting our cause?
2) Should there be central leadership at the State level?
3) How can we advance our agenda of constitutionalism through viable candidates behind whom we throw mass support for their election?

The liberal media bias that we will inevitably face aside, it is up to us to spread our message and exercise our political power through the greatest political system on Earth. That will require getting people elected. Therefore, we need an agenda. It is imperative that we have discussions about what that agenda is, and how we can accomplish it-- before it is too late.

Do we want it to be 2012 with all the incumbents having won the midterms and Nobama Odrama back in the Blight House?

No.

Let's start a discussion. Leave comments! Sound off! Let's maximize our American potential!

Bully Bobby E: GOIN "STREET" LIKE NOBAMA

Bully Bobby E. got BUSTED!! Looks like you won't have to tune into WWE or UFC this week to get your fix of choke-slamming, ring side action. Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge of North Carolina has got you covered. What the hell is going on in NC? First that crazy guy that attacked peaceful a Tea Party protest last week and now this??


              Bobby E. Lays the Smack Down

Here's the lowdown: a student citizen journalist tried to interview the congressman last week and the Do-Nothing-Dem Bobby E went ballistic--- doing his best Liam Neeson impression and releasing the Kraken all over his behind. Angrily hitting the camera, grabbing and shaking a young reporter half his age and weight, Bobby E looked like a pro-wrestler in the midst of a roid rage. Check this busted bully out:



Too bad he can't flex his political muscle as well as he can intimidate little kids. According to govtrack.us this guy sucks at his job:

"Bob Etheridge has sponsored 51 bills since Jan 7, 1997 of which 43 haven't made it out of committee..."

Maybe he's just pissed because he can never find anyone to cosponsor his bills. Or maybe its because he doesn't look good enough in spandex to get in the ring with the Undertaker. I'll tell you one thing, I wish he'd tried to yoke me up like that. I'd serve him up a serious dose of liberty from his consciousness...

Lets just remind Bully Bobby E. of our Bill of Rights, Shall we?
Remember the Fist Amendment that gives our journalists the right to do their job:

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

BOOM. There it is. The free press makes our democracy vibrant, and its part of why we're the greatest nation on earth. But maybe we need a "Ban Bobby E Child Bully" Amendment to keep this buffon from beating up young American journalists. Freedom of the press keeps our lawmakers in check, and are outside of the chokehold of BIG Government interests groups.

For all their conspiracy claims of the right trying to shut down the media, this fiasco is just latest in a string of incidents that expose the left as bunch of violent, bullying, liberal, hypocrites.

I applaud those kids for standing up to Bobby E. and shedding some light on how our lawmakers truly regard our constitution. Next time let's send Rich Franklin to do the interview and see how frisky he's feeling then.

Maybe he'd finally smell what the rock is cooking: Freedom.

World Crock: Wanna BAILOUT BP?

                                                          

Obama is an idiot.

How many new and ingenious ways can this guy find to kill America everyday??

He seems to have taken the rivalry of today's World Cup game with Britain way to far--- at the expense of Americans.

His attacking of BP's dividend , stupid "ass kick" remarks, thoughtless anglo-phobic and angry rhetoric against "British Petroleum" (not the company's formal name), and allowance of the Justice Department to have a knee jerk reaction with the public witch trial of BP, have driven the stock wayyyyyy down. That's awesome right? We should make those British bastards pay right? No.

Here's why:

1) If BP goes under and is able to file for bankruptcy, then guess who's gonna be paying for the clean up at the Gulf. Yeah, you guessed it, us, the American taxpayer-- the quiet slave of the Obama administration. WHY THE &%^# SHOULD AMERICANS BAIL OUT BP?? That's right, WE SHOULDN'T. Hell no.

2)  Do you know how many Americans hold stock in BP? We are waist deep. We own 39% of the damn stock! That's half the friggin' company! That's the same amount as the British own! If Obama drives BP into the ground then all those Americans will lose out big time. Think of all those American BP employees, sleeping in trailers, cleaning our Gulf Coast everyday, who will lose their stock and pensions, and have their lives destroyed. How anti-American. It's not like Obama can give them another job. Remember the most recent jobs report? This guy just doesn't understand simple economics.

3) The British are our allies in the War on Terror. There's no need to mess up our relationship with an entire country. It's just short sighted. Let's hold the right people accountable and take the right action in a way that won't be detrimental to Americans, and our allies that help us police the world.

Obama is a World Crock. I'd rather he suit up on the field today and be the athlete that he was born to be, because he's clearly a horrible president.

I'll be waiting for game 5 of the NBA finals. An American sport.

America: Greece on Steroids

Socrates, Plato, the Parthenon-- all examples of what has made Greece a historical paragon of philosophy, art, and culture. Who wouldn't want to emulate their legacy, right? Not so fast. Let's fast forward about oh, say 2 and a half millennia later..

                               
                                Greek riot officer engulfed in flames. A metaphor for the American Obama economy.


No matter what is said in your high school history textbook Greece is not country to copy. Today their economy and society have been destroyed. Years of lunatic spending, cheap lending and failure to implement common sense financial reforms (sound familiar?) left Greece naked and flailing when the worldwide economic downturn hit. In February, the Greek government, on the verge of bankruptcy, announced  "austerity measures" to combat its sky-high debt. Its people, broke and angry, didn't take kindly to its government taking away their rights when it was rampant government corruption and irresponsibility (ring a bell?) that flushed their economy down the drain in the first place. Surprise, surprise, three months later, completely bankrupted, Greece erupted into a conflagration of chaos and murder in the streets. About 100,000 pissed off pythagoreans struck nationwide, and they weren't throwing the discus, or hurling olives-- these folks were armed to the teeth, launching molotov cocktails at banks, riot officers, and any target they could see through the eye-holes in their gas masks.

                                  
                                  Goodbye Aristotle. Hello anarchy.

How the hell did this happen? It was the Double D: Deficit and Debt. And, alarmingly, America is hurtling down the same path!! Today the Foundry broke it down:

In April 2010, Greece’s FY 2009 deficit was estimated at 13.6% of the GDP.  The United States FY 2009 deficit reached a record high of $1.4 trillion, or 9.9% of the GDP.  If we continue to follow the President’s proposed budget, over the next ten years our average deficit will surpass the number that brought Greece to its knees.
Then there is the lingering issue of the debt.  Greece’s debt reached 115% of the GDP and could reach 150% of the GDP before too long.  Interestingly enough, the CBO reports that the US debt will jump dramatically from 53% to 63% between FY 2009 and FY 2010. And, just yesterday the Treasury Department estimated that by 2015 the ratio of US debt to GDP would rise 102% to nearly $20 trillion.

I don't know about you, but if you're like me and 79% of other Americans polled, this is an absolute economic Armageddon of horrific proportions. Why then are we American taxpayers, against our will funding yet another $6,800,000,000 dollar bailout of Greece through the IMF? The only thing Americans should consider paying that much money for is to build a time machine to bring James Madison back to bitch slap Big Government back into its rightful place!

Our out of control spending has to stop now. This Administration's ridiculous Keynesian reductionist policy that assumes every dollar it spends will stimulate the economy is bullshit, and we know it. Do we want to get to the point that there are government imposed, socialist policies, shackling Americans and small businesses? Do we want murderous, riotous mobs in our boulevards? No. It's simply time to tighten the purse strings, reign in teenage-with-a-credit-card government spending, stop inflating entitlement programs, stuffing the pork barrel, and passing on a  fourteen figure debt to our kids.

                                                    

Why don't we try tattooing this solution offered by the economists at American-election.com on Obama's forehead:

*Freeze government hiring for the next 3 years.

*Eliminate bonuses and raises for the foreseeable future.

*Institute layoffs and across the board wage cuts. Why should government employees enjoy “privileged status” that no employee in the private sector enjoys?

*Change pensions from ‘defined benefit’ to ‘defined contribution’ pension plans, meaning retirees receive only what has been built up in their 401K type retirement accounts.

*Raise the retirement age. In Greece it is going from age 53 to 67. Gold-plated pension plans are the single biggest factor that bankrupted Greece. The same problem bankrupted U.S. automakers GM and Chrysler.

*Require government employees to pay more of their healthcare (through co-pays and deductibles).

*Change the way pensions are calculated by eliminating overtime and raises in the last years of employment to “game the system”. 

Sounds pretty damn reasonable to me. Especially since we are Greece on steroids.
Its times like these that we need to heed the wise words of our Founders. James Madison said:

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

Arm yourself. Hit the streets and take the polls. Take back your money. Take back America.

Black Liberal Rage Spits in the Face of History

This story profoundly upsets me. A true affront to patriotism happened on Tuesday June 8, at a peaceful protest by the North Carolina Tea Party Patriots who were opposing government bailouts in front of Rep. Mel Watt’s (D-N.C.) Greensboro office. A leftist loony toon named Governor Spencer, walked in off the street, disrupted the crowd, and became violent. He was not only physically aggressive to a man named Nathan Tabor (who happens to be a GOP chair holder), by pushing him unprovoked, but he even shoved the man's wife-- and then brutally assaulted Tabor with a series of cowardly sucker punches! His crazed attack came after multiple pleas from Tabor not to touch his wife amid the backdrop of Tabor's five year old child's terrified screams. This display of anti-Americanism is abhorrent, unacceptable, and worthy of all of our contempt. The clearest version of the youtube footage has been removed from the internet, but I found a copy taken from a home video of FOX News. Watch the footage for yourself, and realize the horror of intolerance at its worst:



Of course I am an American first, but as a black American patriot, I am disgusted and incensed at the way that he is portraying black men as violent haters of peaceful assembly, our 1st amendment, and of our liberty to dissent the government takeover of America. I would contend that the type of anger shown by this man, Governor Spencer, (who will never be governor of anything but his own deranged mind or hopefully a prison cell) is far more damaging than Obama's milquetoast "ass kick" comment. Black, white, asian, hispanic, we should all repudiate this cretin's behavior, and throw our support behind the grassroots movement sweeping the United States.

Now, to counter the disturbing imagery above, that perpetuates the stereotype of rabid, blood thirsty, left-wing black men, I would like to highlight a feature done on Glenn Beck's Founders' Friday on 5/28/10. The segment below exposes a part of American history that liberals don't want America to know. It shows the rich history of black American patriots who stood against the British, who risked their lives for country, and who lovingly toiled for our freedom. The victim narrative serves only the democrat platform because it  divisively convinces Americans, both black and white, that blacks cannot and should not love America. Well, the history speaks for itself, and perhaps, if that crazed brute Spencer had known his history, he would have seen that he's got some true Black American role models that delivered and died for our nation, unlike Nobama:



I hope you learned something new today. And regardless of this information's novelty to you personally, please continue spread the word that there is a significant counterbalance to Spencer's freedom hating fists: It's the voice of patriots of all races who understand that we have to stand up to bigots like him to take back America

before the government enslaves us all.

A Good Read recommended to me by a friend:

Terror at Ground Zero: The Sequel

Have you heard about this? There is a plan to build a 15 story mega mosque at Ground Zero! What a slap in the face to the three thousand fallen heroes, the brave police officers and intrepid firefighters who hurled themselves into a collapsing inferno to save their brethren. I am incensed that such a plan was even hatched, let alone given the 'OK'!

The Mosque's chief proponent is a man named Feisal Abdul Rauf, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who slickly denies the clearly sinister implications of the Mosque's construction. Although he claims that the "prayer space" is meant to heal the wounds of 9/11, any rational American knows that he is only throwing salt into the painful sores that we still feel as New Yorkers and countrymen. His mendacious tactics are proof that he is an adept practitioner of what is called taqiyya — deceptive speech and action to promote the will and dominance of Islam.

The chief pro-mosque argument is "religious freedom". What an insult to the victims of 9/11! To use our constitution as a defense for an ideology that clearly hates America, and to allow for a symbol of hate and extremist-islamist-jihadi supremacy to be erected, would be a crime against our forefathers who prayed to god that they would never see a day when we relinquished our sovereignty to a foreign power.

Well, patriots, we know that our freedom comes at a price, and if there was any time to make a sacrifice in the name of freedom it is now. We don't need the government to intrude in our affairs and regulate who can and cannot build a structure in our city. But it is OUR responsibility-- it is WE THE PEOPLE that have to take a stand against terror! Patriots, come to the rally at Ground Zero tomorrow on 6/6 to honor the memory of 9/11's bravest fallen victims and Stop the Islamization of America! I don't care if you have to drive from Maine or Montana, and if you only have to pass through the Holland Tunnel then you had better be there!

Do you want to support an international symbol for Islamic conquest or the rule of Sharia law (a system that denies free speech and the legal equality of all people)? No? Good. Then I'll see you there. Unless you'd rather be at home commemorating the 13 terrorists that tried to destroy your liberty.
