                   ACLU: OBAMA HAS QUADRUPLED WARRANTLESS WIRETAPS' " The ACLU released a report this week that shows that under Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder, warrantless wiretapping and monitoring of American's electronic communications is "sharply on the rise." After months of litigation and Freedom of Information Act requests, the ACLU  obtained documents  from the federal government proving that real-time monitoring of electronic communications inside the U.S. has climbed 60 percent since 2009 and far surpasses monitoring under President Bush. The ACLU reports that the Dept. of Justice used "pen register" and "trap and trace" techniques 23,535 times in 2009 and 37,616 times in 2011. A "pen register" captures outgoing data from a phone or email account while "trap and trace" captures incoming data. During that same time period, the number of people whose telephones were the subject of pen re...

                       The Focus on Green Jobs Is Misplaced For a better part of the last decade, President Obama and other Democrats have been hyping the potential of green energy. On top of its environmental benefits, lawmakers promise that the clean energy industry will add millions of jobs to the slow growing economy. However, there have been many difficulties in trying to create these jobs because of contradictory definitions and backward policies that inhibit clean energy growth, says Diana Furchtgott-Roth, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The Obama administration's attempt at creating sustainable green jobs has resulted in failure: Obama promised to create 5 million jobs over the next 10 years during his 2008 presidential campaign. However, the Labor Department has only counted 3.1 million jobs. Moreover, $500 million in grants were given under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to rese...

                  Can you guess where this press release came from? "All media must present government-issued photo I.D. (such as a driver’s license) as well as valid media credentials. Members of the media must RSVP to receive press credentials at http://action.naacp.org/page/s/registration. For security purposes, media check-in and equipment set up must be completed by 7:45 a.m. CDT for an 8:00 a.m. CDT security sweep. Once the security sweep is completed, additional media equipment will NOT be permitted to enter and swept equipment will NOT be permitted to exit."  Attorney General Eric Holder addressed the NAACP Nation Convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. What did media need in order to attend? That’s right, government issued photo identification (and a second form of identification too!), something both Holder and the NAACP stand firmly against when it comes to voting. Holder’s DOJ is curren...

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure,   the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy,   its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.."   -- Winston Churchill   These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:   1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.   2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.   3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.   4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.   5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them; and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the  beginning of the end  of any nation.   Can you think of any reason for not ...

“Mass Shooting at Empire State Building,” the headlines blared. “Two dead and nine wounded in rampage shooting,” we were told. And these reports about the “mass shooting” almost always included some reference to this “latest mass shooting,” rekindling the debate over gun laws in our country. Even after it became apparent that the “gunman” had probably shot only one person , a former employer who he had threatened a year earlier – and that the rest of the victims were shot by police – the news stories and pundits continued to refer to this “latest mass shooting” and postulating on how politicians would or should respond. ( another example of biased journalism ) According to New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, after the murderer had shot his victim repeatedly in the face and head, he calmly walked away. Two nearby police officers quickly responded and, when they challenged the suspect, he pointed his gun at them, but, Kelly said, he did not fire at them. Witness accounts ...

The devastation and ignorance being caused by this Catastrophic occurrence will forever destroy the Fiber and character of a once great nation With little hope for correction or rebuilding At the present rate of duplicity, complacency,  apathy, and refusal to be informed Being displayed by the American public. And your taxes and  your personal choice.

President Barack Obama took the Cult of Obama and narcissism to perhaps  an unprecedented level on Wednesday when his campaign began selling posters  that desecrated the image of the American flag by replacing the stars  on the flag with the “O” symbol that serves as the Obama campaign’s logo.  Obama’s Twitter account (@BarackObama) sent a  tweet  that said,  “A poster to say there are no red  states or blue states, only the United States:  http://OFA.BO/gfHgXM  ." The tweet linked to Obama’s campaign store, where people could purchase a                                             limited edition “OUR STRIPES: FLAG PRINT” poster for $35.  Ross Bruggink and Dan Olson of Studio MPLS designed the screen print and,                         ...

"Recently, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) appeared on Chris Matthews' Hardball show and, in discussion about voter ID laws, he said that voting should be as easy as "getting a glass of fresh water." He equated requiring a picture ID to vote to Jim Crow laws and poll taxes. A free society will soon not be free if the citizens in it see their freedom as something that should arrive effortlessly, free of personal responsibility, like the appearance of the morning sun [or drinking a glass of water]. Black leaders do damage to our nation, and to our black citizens, to label as racist the call for requirements for a modicum of personal responsibility in order to vote. " Star Parker It is inconceivable to me that these sorely self-centered, arrogant democrats will continue to base their ideology of voting rights, considering a Voter ID as racist or disenfranchising of a certain part of our society, when, in truth and if ever they would admit to it, all they want is ...

"Have you ever wondered why the main stream media  is so supportive of the liberals? It’s because efforts were made over 100 years ago by the liberal progressives to gain control of media outlets, which at this time was mostly newspapers.  Once television became popular and the liberals saw how much the American people could be influenced by it, they began a concerted effort to gain control of the main networks.  By controlling them, they could control the news and thus sway a gullible public to hear and see what they wanted them to see. Conservatives just sat back in complacency and allowe d the liberals to take over the media.  The liberals had an agenda and the conservatives had their warm comfy steady as she goes attitude.  The conservatives tried their best to report the news accurately, which was often dull and mundane.  The liberals concentrated on reporting the sensational and controversial and when they couldn’t find anything like th...

"As the Chicago teachers’ strike continues, we’ve learned that they make  $71-76,000 a year  and they turned down a 16% pay increase, which amounts to $11,360.  They work nine months out of the year, but say that this strike is benefits oriented.  However, given that ABC World News  didn’t even air this story last Sunday  and most of the media, with the exception of CBS, failing to mention the  compensation statistics  in their broadcast – suffice to say that the  media will probably ignore the fact that almost 40% of Chicago’s public school teachers send their kids to private schools. I’m not against public education, but the fact that these teachers make enough to send their kids to private schools shows that Chicago’s public teachers are aware of the serial failure within the system.  Second, it shows that these teachers have zero confidence in their own respective school district.  Why are the teachers going on strike?  ...

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice —  you may know that your society is doomed.”    Ayn Rand
