"The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become." --Ronald Reagan
The Social Security Administration has purchased 174 thousand rounds of hollow point bullets to be delivered to 41 locations in major cities across the U.S. Is the Obama Administration planning to stop issuing Social Security checks? Do they expect violence?
Stories regarding the purchase of the ammo range from 20,000 Spetznazs (Russian commandos) having crossed over the Canadian border into the U.S. and being taken to the underground areas of Denver International Airport to… you name it. Are they true? Who knows?
Republican candidate Mitt Romney has a hard time connecting with conservatives (without whose support he will not be elected). He and his Vice Presidential candidate, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), want to keep the debate focused on the failed economic issues of the Obama administration, but the President favors personal attacks over meaningful debate. If we look at his record, that should surprise no one.
Stop and think for one moment about all of the poor people you’ve known in your life. If you are like me, you may have at one time been one of those people. How many poor people create jobs for others? I didn’t create any jobs for people when I was poor, but later in life after a lot of hard work resulting in success I created a lot of jobs.
We all need to understand that the reason the Obama camp needs to pit the poor against the affluent is because there are always more poor than there are rich – thus, more votes. He must make them feel like Romney is against them – when quite the opposite is true. That’s why Joe Biden told a group of low-income folks that the Romney-Ryan ticket was going to put them “back in chains.”
Regardless, Romney and Ryan both have difficulty (for different reasons) connecting with the American people when they discuss things like job creation and new business start-ups. Romney likes to think his experience as a venture capitalist gives him insight into independent business start-ups and job creation – and it does… slightly. A vast majority of independent businesses, however, are not traded on Wall Street.
The following data was taken from the Small Business Administration (SBA) pages.
Small firms:
• Represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms.
• Employ half of all private sector employees.
• Pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll.
• Generated 65 percent of net new jobs over the past 17 years.
• Create more than half of the nonfarm private GDP.
• Hire 43 percent of high tech workers ( scientists, engineers, computer programmers, and others).
• Are 52 percent home-based and 2 percent franchises.
• Made up 97.5 percent of all identified exporters and produced 31 percent of export value in FY 2008.
• Produce 13 times more patents per employee than large patenting firms.
Independent businesses create most new jobs. Mitt Romney understands independent business from the perspective of a venture capitalist. Paul Ryan understands it from a budgetary perspective. Thus, neither really understands the banking problems of those who own independent businesses – almost all of whom are conservative and who frequently don’t understand their own business borrowing problems (they aren’t bankers either) and so can’t explain the phenomenon to political candidates. It’s a difficult problem.
Don’t get me wrong. Romney-Ryan are far more in tune with what needs to be done to get business growth and new jobs moving forward than Obama-Biden, but neither is very good at explaining why independent businesses are so important and what needs to be done to motivate new business start-ups. It’s a problem made up of banking and credit issues, not of venture capital or budgets.
First, existing independent business owners utilize their primary residence as their main source of loan collateral. Banks are not lending against personal residences because home values are falling. Before you criticize the bankers, make sure you don’t care if your bank takes risks lending your deposit dollars because poor quality collateral puts your bank deposits at risk. You have a vested interest in your personal bank remaining “safe.”
Second, political candidates need to talk clearly about the problems of independent business. It can be done in few words. For example:
1. “Banks can’t lend money to independent business owners who most often use their home as collateral for business borrowing because the Obama administration has failed to put a floor under the sinking real estate market and property values continue to drop. Bankers would be irresponsible to take people’s homes as collateral on business loans in the current real estate market. They would be putting depositor dollars at risk.”
2. “As Ronald Reagan once said, ‘Government isn’t the solution; it’s the problem.’ We can’t get independent business growth – which is where a majority of new jobs come from – until bankers understand how to make business purpose loans to individuals, not just to corporations. It has been done very successfully in the past and that area of specialty lending needs to be revived.
“Government’s answer is the Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA does the same thing bankers do: They make business purpose loans to companies based on business assets, not to individuals based on personal income and assets.
“Independent business owners must borrow as individuals, putting their personal assets at risk, not corporate stock (like multi-nationals and publicly-traded companies do). The banking industry is set up to make business purpose loans based on company assets and cash flow; or, personal loans based on personal assets and cash flow. So, too, is the SBA.
“Independent business owners need business purpose loans based on personal assets and cash flow. The current structure of the banking industry and the SBA prevents that. What’s the result? No loans to independent businesses and thus no new jobs.”
I don’t believe there is one word in those paragraphs that would not be quickly understood by the average American… at least by the average productive American who works and pays taxes.
We have a Republican candidate for the Presidency whose campaign aides don’t know how to respond to demands for more and more years of tax returns. Could there be anything simpler?
There is a picture of Mitt Romney on the right side of your tv screen. The page is titled: “Missing Documents.” Under Romney’s name (and picture, for those who cannot read but who do vote) you list “Income tax returns.”
There is a picture of Barack Obama on the left side of the screen. Under his picture you list: 1) Occidental College records (California); 2) Columbia University records (New York); 3) Harvard University records (Cambridge, MA); 4) Unanswered questions, draft registration card; 5) Unanswered questions, multiple Social Security Numbers; 6) Explanation why Barack and Michele Obama lost licenses to practice law in Illinois.
No voice over is necessary. No one has to touch the birther issue of which Republicans are so frightened. They could just have someone in the background laughing – hard. It is laughable that the Obama campaign would talk about the importance of transparency and Romney’s need to produce tax returns when the President is the King of Hidden Facts.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sickened by the lies and distortions of this political campaign! It seems to be about womens’ uteruses (abortion rights and access to “free” birth control – paid for by taxpayers), the poor and how to give them something for nothing to buy their votes (along with their dignity as human beings), the elderly and whether they will have equal access young people have to health care or whether the Medicare system will fail because of empty promises that cannot be kept versus budgetary constraints that can save the system.
How did that happen when the real issues involve the economy and jobs?
Obama supporters say Mitt Romney killed a man’s wife because he bought a company that was failing (it wouldn’t have been for sale if it wasn’t failing). As you read the following facts about GST Steel, remember that Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to lead preparations for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Joe Soptic (the man whose wife died of cancer – may God rest her soul) lost his job in 2001 and his wife maintained health insurance with her employer. Soptic's wife died in 2006, seven years after Romney left Bain Capital. This is a typical liberal attitude… “Everyone but me is responsible that I didn’t have health insurance for over four years after I lost my job because my company closed. My wife got cancer and died. Mitt Romney killed her.”
Here are the facts:
• GST Steel in Kansas City was shut down in 2001.
• Jonathan Lavine, a long-time Bain Capital executive and co-owner of the Boston Celtics. Lavine began his career at Bain in 1993. Today, he is a “bundler” for Obama and has bundled from $100,000 to $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund according to estimates released by the Obama campaign.
• Joe Soptic was offered a buy-out when GST Steel was bought by Bain but refused it.
• Soptic got another job; he declined their insurance plan.
• Soptic’s wife had her own health insurance plan through 2003… two years after Soptic’s company was shut down.
• In 2006, Soptic’s wife was diagnosed with very late-stage cancer.
• She died 22 days after diagnosis.
PAC Priorities USA created the ad blaming Romney for Mrs. Soptic’s death. They should be sued under Federal Communications Commission truth in advertising laws.
Soptic’s pitiable behavior makes it clear that he suffers from guilt. So very sad… sad that it happened, sad that he has not yet come to grips with the reality of his wife’s fate and the factual reasons for it, sad that a politician would use such a situation to make political points. But personal attacks are the only dog Obama has to bring to this fight because his record as President since 2008 is so abysmal he can’t run on it. He – or his minions like PAC Priorities USA – are reduced to using people in pain to tell stories that help them blame others – like Mitt Romney – for their problems.
I’m sick of hearing about abortion… the only thing I’m sicker of is having the government pay for abortions which means my tax dollars are being used to pay for what I consider to be murder. I don’t care if you don’t consider it to be murder. I do. And the truth of the abortion issue is: The Supreme Court (Roe v. Wade still lives) has ruled on the abortion issue and as much as Barack Obama wants you to think the President of the United States can do something about it, he cannot. It doesn’t matter whether his name is Barrack or Mitt. The federal government shouldn’t be in anyone’s bedroom… this is an issue for each state’s voters to decide.
Another thing: We the People are supposed to pay for the birth control of female college students. If Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student who testified at Democrat hearings on contraception, is an example of the intellect of today’s law students, we need to prevent lawyers from holding office as elected officials. She is revered by liberals and is scheduled to speak at the Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC.
We have a dumbed-down public that it doesn’t realize all of these disinformation tactics are being used to divert attention from basic problems. To prevent solutions to problems (like job creation) and keep people focused on issues (like birth control).
Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s choice as his Vice Presidential candidate, has good insight into changes that can save Medicare… but the Romney campaign is so bereft of a good communicator! Paul Ryan is a good candidate – he has supported legislation with which I disagree, but our greatest weakness right now is budgetary resulting from Democrat Congressional over-spending – and that is Ryan’s strength. The problem is, his solutions are not easily explained in sound bites… and Obama uses that weakness against Romney-Ryan.
Romney-Ryan need to say: “Here’s your choice: Without changes, Medicare will fail altogether because it is bankrupting America. If that is your preference, vote for Barack Obama. If you want changes made that can save Medicare without changing benefits to current recipients, vote for Romney-Ryan.”
They need to say: “If you are a senior citizen and have a stroke in the middle of the night, Obamacare dictates that you will not be able to get more than basic treatment until a committee meets and approves or denies your doctor’s recommended care. If you have a stroke on Friday night, do you want to wait until Monday morning for the bureaucrats to meet and determine your fate?”
How difficult is it to say: “Those of you who support Obamacare also must approve of over $700 billion stolen by the Democrat Congress from the Medicare fund to pay for the implementation of Obamacare. The Romney-Ryan ticket doesn’t support that theft from Medicare and will repeal this socialist legislation.”

How difficult is it to say: “You are told that an independent third party – non-partisan AARP – approves of Obamacare. AARP represents the best interests of seniors, right?
“AARP operates as a tax-exempt organization in Washington and if it were a for-profit business, AARP would be the sixth-largest insurance company in America with profits of $427 million in 2009. It is estimated AARP’s increased insurance profits will exceed $1 billion when Obamacare is implemented. Romney-Ryan doesn’t support AARP’s profit-based opinions and will work to repeal this legislation.”
Hopefully, after the Republican Convention in Tampa this week, the Romney campaign will start acting like it wants to win!

OBOTIC MEDIA DESPERATELY SHIFTING LIES ABOUT OBAMA’S ELIGIBILITY by Penbrook One
Sunday, August 26, 2012
FLEEING FROM BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO “LEGITIMACY” - A shocking change in the content of reporting at NBC, CNN and CBS indicates the pro-Obama media are beginning to stagger under the weight of facts which plainly show that Barack Obama has never provided valid, corroborated documentation proving he is constitutionally eligible to hold the office.
By Dan Crosby,
of The Daily Pen
New York, NY - The pro-Obama, liberal mainstream media is showing symptoms of fatigue in their endless treading in defense of Barack Obama’s fraudulent identity.
A sudden reverse in liberal media content indicates they are realizing that a defense of Obama’s “eligibility” based on their fading support of his fraudulent birth certificate is no longer sustainable. The lies about Obama's identity are just too heavy to carry for those undersold as errand-slaves for the bowing liberal consensus.
In at least two broadcasts by CBS ad MSNBC, following Mitt Romney’s campaign rally joke about his own birth certificate, hosts from the leftist networks used a term not previously assigned to the controversy over Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president.
Defense of Obama's "legitimacy" is now emanating from media propagandists indicating they no longer want to defend the lie that the digitally forged image of Obama’s alleged 1961 “Certificate of Live Birth” is an indication that he is “eligible” to be president. Now, they are desperately hoping everyone will forget their abetment of the “eligibility” lie and, now, show grace for Obama’s contingent claims to “legitimacy”.
On Friday, "The Ed Show" host, Ed Schultz, instead of defending the authenticity of Obama’s birth document used the term “legitimate” to defend Obama saying, “Another day at the office with the “Mittster”. Today Mitt Romney reignited the fringe, those in his party who don’t see Obama as a legitimate president.”
Then, Romney’s joke evoked an almost desperate need from CBS’s Scott Pelley to hear Romney say that Obama was a “legitimate” president, while Pelley completely avoided the tired lie that the digital image of Obama alleged 1961 “Certificate of Live Birth” posted an official government website, was an authentic indication that Obama was eligible to be president.
See the video here.
Pelley asked Romney, “In the rally today, you said, ‘No one has ever asked for my birth certificate. They know this is the place I was born and raised.’ Why did you say that?”
Romney told Pelley the comment was a joke based on the fact that he and his wife, Ann, were born and raised in Michigan.
Pelley then embarked a pathetic defense of Obama, “But, this was a swipe at the president.”
"No, no, not a swipe," Romney replied. "I've said throughout the campaign and before, there's no question about where he was born. He was born in the U.S. This was fun about us, and coming home. And humor, you know -- we've got to have a little humor in a campaign."
Unconvinced under the crushing weight of his own chronic dissonance, Pelley then posited a question which reveals the old lie is no longer effective for liberals and that they are beginning to rethink their position on Obama’s alleged birth certificate and his constitutional eligibility.
“For the record, will you say, once and for all, that you believe Obama is a legitimate president?” pleaded Pelley.
Romney replied with a confident smile, “I have said that 30 times, I guess 31 won’t hurt.”
Romney answer accompanied a sudden light in his eyes. As if he now understands that a question about Obama’s "legitimacy" is not the same as a defense of his "eligibility". He also realized from Pelley’s question that the media knows it, too.
“If you have the wherewithal to suspect that sharks are preparing to attack because they happen to smell blood in the water, perhaps instead of asking why the sharks are attacking, you should ask, why am I bleeding?” asks TDP editor, Pen Johannson.
“Obama was bleeding credibility on the issue of his eligibility long before anyone challenged him. The media is beginning to see this.”
Eligibility is based on a legal requirement rooted in the rule of law and doctrinal precedent over the past 250 years in America. Legitimacy, on the other hand, is a transient status of subjective entitlement based on the fact that voters supported the candidate, even though the candidate was never legally eligible to be elected.
In 1840, John Tyler, serving as Vice President as the first ever candidate eligible for the office of President born after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, became the first candidate required by the Constitution to be a Natural Born citizen of the United States, which he was. However, Tyler was also the first candidate to perform the duties of President without being elected to the office. He was forced to assume the powers and duties of president upon the untimely death of President William Henry Harrison just after the 1840 election.
Many in opposition to Harrison’s administration refused to acknowledge Tyler as a “legitimate” President, even disparaging him as “His Accidency”. Harrison's unprecedented death in office caused considerable confusion regarding Tyler’s succession despite the fact that he was eligibile.
Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution merely states:
“In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President.”
The Constitution did not endow Tyler with the title of President in his own right, just the powers of the office. It only stated that the “Powers and Duties” of the deceased President Harrison would “devolve” upon him as Vice President, not that he would hold the office. Read literally, Tyler would remain the Vice President with presidential powers, as Acting President, but he could not be called “President of the United States”.
In spite of his constitutional eligibility to be president, Tyler’s opponents refused to acknowledge that he was a “legitimate” president. Therefore, it is completely absurd for the liberal media to actually expect that Obama would be considered “legitimate” without a shred of documented proof of eligibility.
Obama’s legal right to hold office has never been verified because he does not possess the historical proof to show that he meets the requirements stipulated by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution.
MEDIA LOSING CREDIBILITY AS OBAMA LOSES AUTHORITY
Shultz and Pelley, like the remaining slew of obotic liars in the liberal media, are being confronted with a terrifying reality that there is no proof that Obama is actually eligible to be president. Moreover, they are realizing that only Obama, not original sources, has been the only one they were allowed to receive information from about his identity, which they willingly swallowed and so enthusiastically defended as the truth.
They see the fox in the hen house. The shift in perception indicates the delusions of liberal media are now being confronted with the reality that Obama has poisoned and corrupted their personal and professional reputations. They are beginning to think Obama might actually be a fraud.
Long ago, CBS and NBC sold out to Obama’s and have no way to reconcile with the soul crushing truth so they no longer have the credibility to fight the cause for Obama based on the losing proposition that the birth certificate represents the truth about his identity. It does not. It represents the greatest lie ever told to the American people, and they are beginning to realize it.
Mitt Romney’s recent joke about his own birth certificate, according to CBS, was apparently an endorsement of suspicions by so-called “birthers” that “…ultimately drove Mr. Obama to release his long-form birth certificate to prove he was born in the United States.”
Yes, a CBS writer, lost in ideological delusions about Obama’s eligibility grandeur, actually used the word, “drove” in attempting to convince themselves of an elusive reality about the intentions of Romney’s comment.
Of course, CBS reporters can provide no documented proof that Romney’s comment was directed at Barack Obama. Sounds a little like CBS believes there is a coo-coo conspiracy to undermine Obama. They are beginning to sound more like what they accuse so-called “birthers” of, everyday.
CBS and other liberal emanations seem to be slowly admitting, now, that the derogatorily called “birther” movement must have had the power and facts to “drive” the anointed One of a bowing liberal consensus to the brink if destruction by forcing him to actually provide evidence that he is who he says he is.
Think about what CBS is claiming. A bunch of crazy, rightwing fringe racists “drove” Obama to present a digitally fabricated image of an alleged 1961 birth certificate which was proven by 10 month-long criminal investigation to be a forgery?
They sound like crazy left-wing conspiracy theorists. Acknowledging the power to drive an alleged “legally eligible” president to prove his legitimacy is a lot of respect to assign those formerly considered a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists.
Imbalanced pundits like Shultz and Pelley are beginning to look like fools. Labeling those who question Obama’s eligibility as racists and crazy people is beginning to come back on liberals in a very destructive way. When the truth is against you, your condemnations will return to haunt and destroy you because no aspersion you cast holds credibility once the lies you defended are exposed. At that point, you have become worthy of destruction and ridicule.
Let’s talk about Obama’s legitimacy, shall we?
After all, sarcastically speaking, it’s not as if suspicions about Obama’s illegitimacy were actually based on facts about his past, like the fact that his alleged father was never a U.S. citizen…which means he is not a natural born citizen of the U.S. and therefore not constitutionally eligible to be president based on 250 years of legal and doctrinal precedence.
Legitimacy?
Facts like, Obama voted in favor of congressional resolution 511 stating that his 2008 opponent, John McCain, was a natural born citizen because, unlike Obama, both of McCain’s parents were U.S. citizens serving in the military and, therefore, eligible to run for president, despite the fact that McCain was not born in the U.S.
Legitimacy?
Obama lived to Indonesia as a boy, attended school as Indonesian citizen as required by Indonesian law and so stated on his school registration form, and has never provided documentation showing that he retained his American citizenship upon return to Hawaii in 1971.
Legitimacy?
Obama traveled to Pakistan, by his own admission, using a passport which would show his citizenship status in 1980 and, yet, it has never been allowed to be seen by anyone. Legitimacy?
Legitimacy?
Obama refuses to provide his college transcripts which contain information about whether or not he attended school as a foreign student, which would show that if he received foreign scholarships he could not have applied as a U.S. citizen.
Legitimacy?
The Democrat Party of Hawaii chairman, Brian Schatz, refused in August of 2008 to provide an “Official Certification of Nomination” containing legally required language under Hawaiian election laws stating that Obama was “constitutionally eligible” to hold the office of President.
Legitimacy?
Obama’s literary publicist printed in an official promotional brochure for 16 years that he was born in Kenya.
Legitimacy?
Obama’s alleged Selective Service registration card, allegedly signed by Obama a day AFTER it was stamped by a Honolulu postal worker, apparently using the only two-digit year received stamp ever possessed by the U.S. post office, was determined by a six month law enforcement investigation to be a forgery. Requests by investigators for the original record from the Selective Service Administration were denied without explanation.
Legitimacy?
The digital .pdf image of his alleged 1961 Hawaiian “Certificate of Live Birth” has been proven through a criminal investigation by officials with years of federal, state and local law enforcement experience.
Obama’s horde of puppets have a better chance of winning the eligibility argument.

ROMNEY’S BIRTH CERTIFICATE JOKE EXPOSES MEDIA LECHERY FOR OBAMA
by Penbrook One
Saturday, August 25, 2012
THE LIBERAL YELP HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD: Throwing the "eligibility" rock into a pack of liberal media, Mitt Romney has discovered attacking Obama’s fraudulent identity is a very effective discourse rooted in apocalyptic truth which has the potential to restore honor, authority and the rule of law back to American government. Hurting the liberal establishment with the truth about Obama’s fraudulent natal origins and his communist beliefs will allow superiority and exceptionalism to return to America and will likely drive the greatest economic expansion in a generation. However, the most important result of Romney's truth message is one which will restore confidence in Constitutional sovereignty of America while he presides over a national recovery after the most lawless regime in American political history.
Commentary by Penbrook Johannson
Editor of The Daily Pen
NEW YORK, NY – After Mitt Romney’s appearance at a campaign rally in Commerce, Michigan, where he made a poignant and long-overdue reference to Obama’s fraudulent eligibility documentation, it took only minutes for the pro-Obama liberal media to respond. What followed was an utterly pathetic and shameful display of hate-filled hysterics wrought with delusional allegations of racism.
The desperate attempts to minimize the damage to their “precious” Obama revealed just how vulnerable the fragile psyche of the liberal media has become…and how devastating the epic lies about Obama’s identity have become to their sense of purpose and lust for social justice.
Unfortunately, prior to Romney’s joke on Friday, powerful conservatives were not willing to define the boundaries of standard political discourse outside the limits of the media’s portrayal of Obama’s identity. The problem with this decision is that it was based on a lie they were told by degenerates who were biased in favor of Obama. For too long conservative powers have surrendered their most effective message against the radicalism of a social misfit to a fraudulent media authority.
Moreover, Obama’s weak-minded political opponents on the right, including Congressional Republicans and many conservatives, including Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, have long treated his highly suspicious biography as though it was unassailable because they simply did not have the intestinal fortitude to weather accusations of being called racists by foul-minded rejects. Allegations of racism in protecting Obama has grown stale, old and ineffective for liberals. In the face of such stark evidence, the public authority is simply not believing that liberal lie anymore.
Instead, Romney’s comment-for-effect has revealed these desperate and vile deceivers attempted to set arbitrary boundaries around Obama which no longer define the fringes of mainstream willingness to attack him upon the very metrics by which he was so dishonestly defined through media lechery. Obama’s fragile identity has now become fair game and his supporters know, from the top of their head to the depth of their perishing souls, he cannot politically, or socially, survive the argument in this realm. The truth against Obama's legitimacy as president has been a desperately concealed weapon of mass destruction that liberals are psychotic to keep hidden.
So, where should Romney go from here? For many who seek justice for Obama’s violation of Constitutional and civil law, there are no longer any restrictions on Romney’s capacity to wield the eligibility weapon against Obama. Romney’s brilliant strategy of attacking Obama at the heart of his weakness, his very identity, has triggered terror and desperation among the Obama political machine. The Obotic horde knows they have no way to counteract the truth that Obama is an undocumented fraud and a rank street hustler whose façade is beginning to crack under the weight of righteous condemnation.
Romney's advisors need to understand the righteous mandate they hold in the truth about Obama's counterfeit identity. They need to learn that Obama is inferior because he is liar, not because of his demography, but because of his foul hatred of vintage American heritage. They need to package a devastating analysis into an easily digestable but potently destructive message conveying the facts about Obama's political illegitmacy. They need to help Romney construct a campaign message which is rooted in the historic truth about America's Constitutional sovereignty and the rights endowed by our Creator for those who recognize and hold such honorability.
Vintage America must be reminded by Romney why their fathers died and bled. They need to be told the sacrifice of their fathers was to prevent despots like Obama from attaining power fraudulently and deceptively and that the reason Obama has refused to reveal documents like his birth certificate, college transcripts and other personal records is because they contain information which proves he is the most prolific criminal usurper in history.
Romney’s joke in reference to Obama’s birth certificate shook liberals to their core. The media’s reaction confirmed this. More importantly, however, the comment was the manifest destiny of millions of Americans who have been victimized by the single most prolific lie in American political history and who have been sounding the alarm about Obama's fraudulent identity for years. Barack Obama is an illegitimate fraud who has never been held to account for his failure to demonstrate that he is eligible to hold the office of the president. Romney’s comment, in a small but very powerful way, was the culmination of many years of very hard work by patriot citizens. It was a sign that honor and truth are still alive despite Obama's attempt to destroy them with "hope and change".
Romney’s recent expose’ of Obama and his criminal abettors reveals that Romney finally sees the potential of seizing upon the unlimited treasure trove of destructive evidence against Obama that the rest of us have been hewing from the “hypogeum” under the White House for five years. When the truth hurts a liberal, they falsely believe that if they can just muster enough fake outrage and incredulity in the face of what is, in fact, an accurate accusation against them, that it will somehow convince everyone they are right.
The writings of Satan-lover, Saul Alinski, have been very effective in creating dissonance in the minds of his morally-ill followers by convincing them that when a political opponent has discovered the evil truth about you, you respond, not by speaking truth to the accusation, but by smearing the truth teller with even more lies. Liberals attack accusations of dishonesty with, well, more dishonesty. Romney’s comments are the beginning of the end of the liberals’ love affair with their own pathetic sense of purpose in humanity, which has always been based on a lie, just like Obama’s constitutional eligibility and political legitimacy.
Liberals, especially those who blindly support Obama, by their very nature, do not have truth on their side. They reject facts about Obama’s identity long before they ever sold their soul to him. This is one of the defining characteristics of Obama’s supporters. In order to achieve any level of political or economic legitimacy in the minds of the most ignorant citizens, they must lie, cheat or blame someone else for their failures.
In order to manipulate the least intelligent of citizens to vote against his opponents, Obama has used a shiny, trinket-laden cloak of pathetic lies while hiding his communist, anti-American ideology behind accusations of racism and conspiracy. The teeth gnashing fact for a reprobate like Obama s that nobody actually votes for a liberal, they just believe the lies liberals tell about their opponents in order to justify voting for anyone but them.
Most liberals in 2008 would have re-elected Adolf Hitler if he ran against the republican candidate because the lies told by the liberal establishment, with the help of a corrupt media complex, were so easily swallowed by the slobbering, blood thirsty mob of Bush-haters. In 2008, more people voted against the Republican party than voted FOR Obama. That’s right. Obama fell into the hole that hatred for Bush left. He’s never been above ground since. Most voters who chose Obama did not actually know him, nor did they like him. They just hated the party of Bush more.
Therefore, in true reprobate form, strident Obama supporters are left with only the sordid option of attacking the bearer of truth.

The Psychotic in power are calling us mentally ill
By admin, on August 23rd, 2012
Obama and his goons are making everything back to front and upside down. Good is bad and bad is good. If you are Christian and a gun owning patriot you are mentally ill, dangerous and should be taken away. This week we heard and followed what felt like the unbelievable in our country but the stories were true. Sane people practicing their 1st amendment rights are being identified as ‘risks’ ‘mentally ill’ ‘dangerous and needing treatment.’ Just some of these evolving cases of mental illness and danger
Doug Hagmann, Director of Northeast Intelligence Network and veteran private investigator exposed how one of his listeners and callers had been literally picked up by cops after a ‘mystery’ friend called in a mental health concern. This lead to Jason Egroff, being forcibly whisked away by cops, probed, questioned, humiliated and searched for 18 hours, then released. Hagmann found that the alleged friend who turned him in was far different than represented and Jason was not mentally ill or a danger at all. The only apparent danger and crime Jason committed was exercising his first amendment rights and daring to share concerns about the Government and 9/11. So what? Many people have concerns about 9/11 who are not insane.
Another mental health nightmare was experienced by Marine Corps veteran, Brandon J. Raub, 26. He was also forcibly held for 30 days out of concern of his ‘face book’ postings. He said things like “Find and rediscover the ideas of liberty and freedom, “Those are the ideas that make us great as people.” He also wrote, “Your leaders are planning to merge the United States into a one-world banking system, “They want to put computer chips in you…these men have evil heats. They have tricked you into supporting corporate fascism. We gave them the keys to our country. We were not vigilant with our republic.” He also wrote, “I am standing against a great evil. I will do it all by myself if I have to.” Thankfully, a Judge ordered his release and said his commitment was invalid and there was no basis to hold him.
Cases like this are starting to appear all over. Doug Hagmann said they are growing. Patriots, simply daring to confront Obama in print or on air are being set up to be a mental health risk and carried away. It is classic dictatorial intimidation and strategy.
Enemies must be identified, taken away, re educated or silenced. That puts a huge target on the foreheads of any real Christian, patriot, Tea Party member or Veteran. Most citizens with any backbone see that Obama is busy transforming America to a socialist/Marxist regime and trying to establish a dictatorship. Otherwise, why have over 40 Czars bypassing congress and answering only to Obama. Why have a sea of unconstitutional executive orders spelling out martial law controls and takeovers. Why turn secret service on people who are exercising their right to peacefully assemble in protest against Obama? Why have 30,000 drones flying over our head?
Given the forced health care with threat of fines, violation of our Miranda rights with the NDAA, the illegal war in Libya, slaughter of our 1st amendment rights, shredding of our economy and energy industry, you would have to be extremely mentally ill not to be concerned and a coward not to open your mouth and be heard.
Obama is simply doing what most classic dictators have done when starting to apprehend, threaten and terrorize the people. He is hiding behind ‘mental illness’ concerns. That way, he can quite some, intimidate others into silence while apprehending guns and freedom.
My Ph.D. is in counseling and mental health. Judging by how Obama works and views Americans, we are all considered mentally ill and expendable.
“This isn’t just any ‘bitter clinger’ writing this Obama. It is Dr. bitter clinger to you.” I love the Lord, my Constitution, country, freedom and my family. I think Obama is a Marxist, Communist, Usurper who hates America. He is a Narcissistic, evil man who pretends to be a Christian. Where is the mental illness folks?

ROMNEY FIRES BIRTH CERTIFICATE “TEST MISSILE” AND HITS TARGET WITH HOME CROWD

OBOTS GNASHING THEIR TEETH – Resounding approval from a Michigan campaign rally crowd following comments by Mitt Romney about his birth certificate reveals that the truth is on his side when it comes to challenging the prolific lies about Obama’s identity and eligibility to be president. Most importantly, the applause demonstrated to Romney that he has at his disposal the most destructive arsenal of political weaponry ever held against a political opponent in American history...and that he has permission to use those weapons without apologies for the sake of America’s future.

NEW YORK, NY - Mitt Romney just “went nuclear” in the 2012 President campaign.
Speaking at a Detroit-suburb rally, Romney told a crowd of 10,000 that he and his wife were happy to be back in the state of their childhood home when he fired a “test missile” at Barack Obama’s failure to demonstrate his Natural Born eligibility to be president.
“No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate…they know this is the place that we were born and raised,” Romney said.
The remark received a resounding applause because the crowd knew it was in reference to evidence discovered over the past five years that Obama is ineligible to be president because he has failed to demonstrate his natural born citizenship. Regardless of Obama’s birth place, however, which has never been proven with authentic original documentation, his alleged father, Barack Obama Sr., was never a U.S. citizen.
A natural born U.S. citizen is one born in the U.S. to two citizen parents.
Questions have also been raised about whether Obama is lying about the identity of his real father in order to hide his un-American beliefs and his neo-communist agenda. Evidence about Obama’s past, including his childhood and college years, shows that he holds radical communist views and hatred toward, not only vintage American heritage, but white people in general. Obama has long been suspected of harboring a deep seated anger and being motivated by a long held desire for vengeance against what he sees as the injustices of colonialism and economic supremacy by nonmelanic cultures.
After the video of Romney’s remarks were posted on YouTube, liberal operatives began firing emails to one another organizing a group effort to descend on the site and post “dislike” ratings and criticism toward Romney. Site statistics shows that videos of Romney's remarks are receiving a disproportionate number of responses compared with other posts.
Unlike Barack Obama, Mitt Romney is a natural born citizen of the United States because he was born in the U.S. to two citizen parents. Therefore, Romney is eligible to be a presidential candidate under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
Mitt Romney’s father was born in Mexico but became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. prior to Romney’s birth in Michigan while Romney’s mother has always been a U.S. citizen.
Romney has never attempted to hide documentation alluding to his constitutional eligibility like Obama has.
Hawaii officials have repeatedly refused to verify the existence of, or authenticate content in, Obama’s original birth certificate which they claim is on file in that state’s Health Department. Explicit requests for the original paper documentation of Obama’s alleged birth in Hawaii have been denied by officials which raises doubts that an original document even exists.
In response to pervasive questions about Obama’s birth in April 2011, document forgers working on behalf of Obama posted to an official government website what has since been proven by a law enforcement investigation to be a digitally fabricated computer image of an alleged 1961 birth certificate. The criminals have yet to be indentified.
An image of Obama’s alleged 1980 selective service registration card has also been shown to be a forgery. Maricopa County law enforcement officials showed that the card is only one of millions ever processed by the postal service using a two-digit year receipt stamp, while all others submitted have always been stamped with a four-digit year stamp. The card also shows that Obama allegedly signed it a day before it was stamped.
Investigators suspect the document was forged for Obama because he never registered for selective service. Failure to do so would disqualify him from being president.
Judges in the U.S. are also hiding from the issue of Obama’s eligibility, refusing to review any of nearly 130 lawsuits on the merits of the actual evidence, fearing the discovery of the evidence would show that Obama is actually a fraud and liar. Essentially judges have cowered to political fears, dismissing the cases based on a false argument that plaintiffs don’t have standing. No case yet has been allowed to move forward on discovery of evidence, let alone been examined under an actual legal argument citing precedent.
Of course, a frightened Obama campaign desperately tried to deflect reaction to the remark, saying Romney was embracing "the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them."
Obama's campaign apparently fails to realize that Romney does not have the power to stand up to the truth.

If Obama gets re-elected in 2012, this just may be America's last election.
In the past three years, the Obama administration has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his Marxist regime and this isn't just my opinion. Popular radio talk show host Michael Savage is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and European history. Savage warned his listeners this week saying, "I have to tell you that if this man, God forbid, is the next president of the United States , we're going to be living in something along the lines of - people say Europe . I don't believe it's going to be like Europe- I think it will be closer to Chavez's South American dictatorship. This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history. It's not politics as usual. It's not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country. They don't want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored 'Pravda.' That's exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis - nothing but the government-media complex party line. Pay attention. Your freedom may be at stake."
Rick Santorum told a small group of people in a coffee house that, "Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. He sees America differently than you see America. [Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven't seen since the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That's his hero. What makes America great [in Obama's mind is that] the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else. No, that's what makes America France."
With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete takeover of the government. Think about it.
Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. (The last thing a failing government does is to raid the treasury) He has a number of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office. The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse of the country. As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.
The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms. The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges that will rule in Obama's favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.
He's already changing the face of America 's military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military. Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems. We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.
Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator. When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and used an executive order to accomplish it anyway.
On March 16, 2012, President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order that authorizes peacetime martial law in the United States of America . The Executive Order is titled, National Defense Resources Preparedness Order. In effect that document gives full and complete control over the entire countries natural resources in case of a natural disaster or during a time of war.
Barack Obama granted to himself authority to approve the dispensing of all domestic energy, production, transportation, food, and water supplies as he deems necessary to protect national security. The document itself though is not limited to a time of war or even of that of a natural disaster. Rather the text of the document says that the President can invoke these powers for national defense in the “full spectrum of emergencies” (Sec 103a). This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation and disband the legislative branch of government.
He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses. Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won't have a clue what took place until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chávez and Castro.

Time to storm Obama and Washington D.C.?

July 14, 2012
I am in extremely fine company. On 18 June 2012 I wrote in my column "Obama Dictatorship Now Overtly Lawless...Congress Largely Yawns": "We have almost completely lost our country to the Marxist/Islamic ruler currently ensconced in OUR White House, folks. It's inordinately clear that Congress will do nothing. Only We-the-People can stop this. Isn't it time for a REAL Million Patriot + march on Washington D.C.? If we don't take back our country no one else will...no one. Obama and his illegal government are now completely criminal and, apparently, in total control of us all."
Now recently, during a rousing speech given to donors at a Romney campaign event in Park City, Utah, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said: "It is a narrative that is being pushed by our current president, that 'I'm doing poorly because you're doing well,'" she said. "That has never been the American narrative. Ours has never been a narrative of aggrievement and ours has never been a narrative of entitlement. It is time for all of us, in any way we can, to mobilize, get our act together, and storm Washington D.C."
It appears that many Republican leaders who, in the past, have not come out in any partisan manner have now realized the extreme jeopardy that comprises the current state of our country. Multitudes of Americans are also, more each and every day, now aware of the dire straits the Obama syndicate has forcefully pushed us all into and are determined to stop the totalitarian onslaught. Obama and his cabal have summarily gutted the US Treasury — with ObamaFriend Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's assistance — and made tremendous progress into destroying every uniquely American institution that still exists.
Obama has appointed to high levels of the US government's national security members of the foundational terrorist group the Muslim Brotherhood (Sunni Muslims) and he and his syndicate are in the process of bringing down each and every non-Sunni Muslim regime (Obama's ostensible father and family are Sunni) in the Middle East. He started by sending leftists (terrorists themselves) "Code Pink" (in 2008-2009), the husband and wife team of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn and Google executive Wael Ghonim to plan, implement and assist the "revolution" and ultimate end-goal of the installation of the Muslim Brotherhood as Egypt's ruling body. It has worked. Obama then set his sights on Libya...another Shia Muslim country. Result? Libya quickly was taken over by the MB. Although the Brotherhood is now experiencing disgust from the Libyan people and will likely have difficulty in the upcoming elections, they are still in control. Now, Obama has set his sights on Syria...another Shia Muslim country...and has plans to destroy it and affect an MB takeover there. Is the pattern developing? You betcha'!
The final assault on non-Sunni Islam will be against Iran...and the Obama campaign against this terrorist country (to replace it with another terrorist group...the one to which Obama belongs) is well underway. Then, the traitor and dictator-in-chief will have nothing to stop him from moving on Israel.
The Final World War may be no more than a few weeks or months away. As if they won't be affected, the wholly-owned media reports virtually nothing on this. With reports on daily briefings from the White House as to what they may and may not report, the media are already completely under the control of Dictator-in-Chief Obama and his masters.
Every day brings at least another treasonous act against the USA and its people by and from Dictator Obama. Still, Congress and the vast majority of the press say nothing and do nothing to stop him. Are partisanship and temporary payoffs with taxpayer money more important than saving OUR country? Apparently so, as we witnessed recently with SCOTUS CJ John Roberts...who is apparently now hiding out on the island of Malta.
It's up to us, folks, as it has always been. We must pray to the Lord God for your redemption and the redemption of our country. But, it's also now time for us to act. To repeat what Condi Rice said so eloquently: "It is time for all of us, in any way we can, to mobilize, get our act together, and storm Washington D.C." In this country, we used to actually fight attempts to suppress and enslave us. It's time to remember that. Let's Roll!

A Billion More Reasons to be Concerned
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
August 23, 2012
In recent days there have been reports of various agencies of the Obama Administration purchasing large quantities of small arms ammunition, over a billion rounds of hollow point ammunition to be exact. (The purpose of hollow point ammunition is to inflict severe flesh, bone and organ damage and is not allowed in combat.) That is interesting and scary given the prospect if not likelihood of civil unrest when Obama suffers election defeat in November. It is noteworthy to mention that in the ten years of U.S. involvement in Iraq the military used less than a billion rounds. This Administration's recent behavior is enough to make one's skin crawl, admittedly there's nothing new to that.
Readers should recall Obama's speech in 2008 about "community service" in which he said,
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
When one reflects on the rise of the Bolsheviks in the U.S.S.R. and of the National Socialists in Germany, in both cases a small minority through both legal and illegal means wrested power for themselves and imposed terror on the populations of both nations; incidentally, both regimes were socialist. So much so was the terror, that millions of people who did not roll over were terminated. It is axiomatic that when a brutal and totalitarian government begins to impose its will through force, people become silent... and compliant. It is something that tyrants through ages have known and employed. Is there any doubt that about Obama?
Consider the catastrophe brought about in four years by Obama and his Czars, and all the while, in former Secretary of State Albright's words, "we'll blame Bush forever." Chairwoman of the Democrat National Committee Debbie Wasserman-Schultz stated on June 15th, 2011,
“We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place.”
It is remarkable that anyone who is watching events would suggest that there is an economic turnaround given: that there are more people out of work now than when Obama took office; more people than at any time in history are on food stamps; more businesses are moving overseas; citizens suffer from the highest gas prices in history; stealth, but real hyperinflation is underway (i.e. price of gas has doubled in four years); economic expansion at a standstill; and more effort to tamp down free markets than any Administration in the history of the country. Oh, yes, and real unemployment is around 15%.
Obama has clearly stated that the economic and governmental system that made this the greatest nation in the history of the world doesn't work, that it has failed and that he has much work left to do. By "much work left to do" Obama means that this election is about a choice of going back to prosperity (the free market economy system) by killing the goose that laid the golden egg (taking from producers and giving to non producers), or what amounts by any reasonable standard, socialism.
Bill Clinton and Congressional Democrats with complicit Republicans set the stage for the crash of 2008. It was the "perfect storm" and timing for the pied Obama piper was perfect, almost as though orchestrated. The question now is: "Having been fooled once about just who he is and what his intentions are, are Americans so utterly naive and totally ignorant as to elect him again?" I think not!
In recent days the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin E. Dempsey said,
"If someone uses the uniform for partisan politics, I'm disappointed in that...I think it erodes that bond of trust we have with the American people."
In a phrase, "General Dempsey blew it." His observation is absolutely true of those on active duty, but Dempsey's implied suggestion that retired or former military members who bought-and-paid-for the right to freedom of expression should refrain from exercising that right, is contemptible. With all due respect, General Dempsey would serve all Americans better by keeping silent on the subject and letting civilians and former military members and retirees handle political issues. Otherwise, what confidence would Americans have that Dempsey would refrain from turning on the majority of American people with those billion lethal rounds purchased by disparate agencies of the Obama Administration (for target practice?).

In recent days there have been reports of various agencies of the Obama Administration purchasing large quantities of small arms ammunition, over a billion rounds of hollow point ammunition to be exact. (The purpose of hollow point ammunition is to inflict severe flesh, bone and organ damage and is not allowed in combat.) That is interesting and scary given the prospect if not likelihood of civil unrest when Obama suffers election defeat in November. It is noteworthy to mention that in the ten years of U.S. involvement in Iraq the military used less than a billion rounds. This Administration's recent behavior is enough to make one's skin crawl, admittedly there's nothing new to that.
Readers should recall Obama's speech in 2008 about "community service" in which he said,
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
When one reflects on the rise of the Bolsheviks in the U.S.S.R. and of the National Socialists in Germany, in both cases a small minority through both legal and illegal means wrested power for themselves and imposed terror on the populations of both nations; incidentally, both regimes were socialist. So much so was the terror, that millions of people who did not roll over were terminated. It is axiomatic that when a brutal and totalitarian government begins to impose its will through force, people become silent... and compliant. It is something that tyrants through ages have known and employed. Is there any doubt that about Obama?
Consider the catastrophe brought about in four years by Obama and his Czars, and all the while, in former Secretary of State Albright's words, "we'll blame Bush forever." Chairwoman of the Democrat National Committee Debbie Wasserman-Schultz stated on June 15th, 2011,
“We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place.”
It is remarkable that anyone who is watching events would suggest that there is an economic turnaround given: that there are more people out of work now than when Obama took office; more people than at any time in history are on food stamps; more businesses are moving overseas; citizens suffer from the highest gas prices in history; stealth, but real hyperinflation is underway (i.e. price of gas has doubled in four years); economic expansion at a standstill; and more effort to tamp down free markets than any Administration in the history of the country. Oh, yes, and real unemployment is around 15%.
Obama has clearly stated that the economic and governmental system that made this the greatest nation in the history of the world doesn't work, that it has failed and that he has much work left to do. By "much work left to do" Obama means that this election is about a choice of going back to prosperity (the free market economy system) by killing the goose that laid the golden egg (taking from producers and giving to non producers), or what amounts by any reasonable standard, socialism.
Bill Clinton and Congressional Democrats with complicit Republicans set the stage for the crash of 2008. It was the "perfect storm" and timing for the pied Obama piper was perfect, almost as though orchestrated. The question now is: "Having been fooled once about just who he is and what his intentions are, are Americans so utterly naive and totally ignorant as to elect him again?" I think not!
In recent days the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin E. Dempsey said,
"If someone uses the uniform for partisan politics, I'm disappointed in that...I think it erodes that bond of trust we have with the American people."
In a phrase, "General Dempsey blew it." His observation is absolutely true of those on active duty, but Dempsey's implied suggestion that retired or former military members who bought-and-paid-for the right to freedom of expression should refrain from exercising that right, is contemptible. With all due respect, General Dempsey would serve all Americans better by keeping silent on the subject and letting civilians and former military members and retirees handle political issues. Otherwise, what confidence would Americans have that Dempsey would refrain from turning on the majority of American people with those billion lethal rounds purchased by disparate agencies of the Obama Administration (for target practice?).

What If The Media Actually Told The Truth?
August 23, 2012 by Wayne Allyn Root
Hello. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Today’s video commentary is about a strange concept: What if the media actually decided to tell the truth? Have you seen the latest Newsweek magazine cover out this week? Ultra-left Newsweek’s cover story features a photo of Obama and the headline: “Hit the Road Barack, Why We Need a New President.” My, how the mighty have fallen! Is it possible the mainstream media are finally starting to grasp what I predicted three months ago: that Obama will lose in a landslide? Has the first domino fallen? As the media realize that Obama will not only lose, but lose big, I predict this will be the first of many negative headlines for Obama. After all, no one likes to bet on a lame horse.
Why the change of heart? The latest Gallop Poll has Romney up by 2 points. That’s before the GOP Convention. Rasmussen (my most trusted pollster) has had Romney up by 3 to 4 points most days for a solid month. Rasmussen also has Romney winning Indiana, North Carolina, Florida and dead even in Wisconsin (all States Obama won in 2008). Obama is in deep trouble and that’s before America gets to see Paul Ryan debate Joe Biden and realizes that Biden is a worn-out union hack with no knowledge of facts whatsoever.
What if the media actually try playing fair and balanced and telling the truth? Here is what they’d report:
If the media told the truth, instead of harping on Romney’s “female gap” they’d report on Obama’s “male gap,” “white gap,” “senior gap,” “Christian gap” and “military veteran gap.” Obama is sinking fast with all these important voting groups. Romney is winning by landslide margins with them all. Obama loses the male vote by as much, or more, than he wins among females. Funny how the media never mention that!
If the media told the truth, they’d challenge Obama’s lies that his bailout of GM and Chrysler is a model of success. In reality, it is a model of disaster: a $25 billion loss for the American taxpayer. If the media told the truth, they’d report that the much of the $25 billion went to pay off auto unions that contributed heavily to Obama, while stealing bondholders’ entire investment.
They’d also report that while Obama used taxpayer money to make whole every pension for every union member of GM and Chrysler, he let the pensions of non-union autoworkers go bankrupt. If the media think this is success, I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
If the media told the truth, they’d report that Obama is the first President in modern history to never pass a budget. How many Americans have heard that Obama’s most recent budget was voted down 99-0 in the U.S. Senate? Obama’s budget was so ridiculous that every single Democrat voted against it. I guess the media just forgot about that.
If the media told the truth, they’d call Vice President Joe Biden a racist and “gutter politician” for telling a primarily black audience the GOP plan is “to put y’all back in chains.” Cutting spending is hardly akin to slavery. The truth the media should report is that putting American taxpayers over $5 trillion more in debt in only 3½ years is enslaving our children and grandchildren to a lower quality of life. But the media have been careful not to mention that form of slavery.
If the media told the truth, they’d report that Paul Ryan’s plan reforms Medicare and saves it for future generations (with no change for anyone over 55) while President Obama has stolen $700 million from Medicare to pay for Obamacare (with no plan whatsoever to save this debt-riden, out-of-control program). They’d also report that Obama’s massive January tax increase raises taxes on dividends and interest to levels not seen in decades. Seniors live off investment income, interest and dividends. With Obama cutting their income, many seniors will lose their homes and retirement income. If the media told the truth, they would report: “This guy Obama clearly hates old people.”
Liberal feminists often call men “verbally abusive.” If the media told the truth, they’d report that Obama is the “verbally abusive President.” His never-ending punching bags are small-business owners and the rich. His off-teleprompter rants such as “You didn’t build that,” “The private sector is doing fine” and “We want to spread the wealth around” demonstrate Obama’s total economic incompetence and lack of understanding that America’s business owners provide the jobs and taxes that pays for government. How can any educated journalist protect a President so ignorant (and arrogant) as to not know that without businesspeople and entrepreneurs there would be no government services or employees?
If the media told the truth, they’d report Obama is “the bribery President.” Free contraception to women, amnesty through Executive Order to young Hispanics, advertising campaigns in Mexico to inform illegals in the USA that they qualify for food stamps, creating an Office of African-American Education. Every day, comes a new bribe to Obama’s voters, all within weeks of the election. Yet the media are silent. They are like Sgt. Schultz of the “Hogan’s Heroes” television series: “I see nothing! I know nothing!”
If the media told the truth, they’d report we are facing economic collapse. They would report the tragic economic indicators just out for July:
Last month, California’s sales tax revenues plunged a shocking $539 million below expectations.
The jobless rate rose in 44 States in July, including 9 out of 10 battleground States.
In the 10th (Ohio) it stayed even.
This is no recovery. And, here’s the worst news: The American Petroleum Institute reports that U.S. consumer demand for oil in July was the lowest since 1995. These figures are alarming, to say the least. Where are the media hiding while the economy collapses? Asleep at the switch.
My advice to the national media: Newsweek did it. You can do it, too. Break your Obama addiction. The truth will set you free! More importantly, it will set America free!
Well, a guy can dream, can’t he?
I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week, same time, same place. God Bless.

The Case against the 16th Amendment
by Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired
Copyright Aug. 16, 2012 by Gulf1
As a matter of fundamental principle, the means for funding the federal government, obtaining revenue was constricted to excise taxes exclusively for a number of clearly defined reasons.
First, the continuing competitiveness of our fledgling state depended on our being a net productive economy, and excise taxes are the sole means of leveling the playing field, when confronted with long established exporters. Secondly, it ensured those elected to office would find the security of our Nation of greater value than making private connections through politics. Thirdly, it gave us the ability to take the time to consider where our best output would be, allow us to concentrate on our best interests, and remain trading, as others concentrated on their best productive capabilities.
The idea of an income tax was floated many times, but it wasn’t until prohibitionists got into a position of power that it was ever seriously considered. First of all, the constitution demands taxes be “apportioned”, which means equally applied to all who are taxed and income tax had been considered proper to be graduated, according to earnings – ideologically counter to “apportioned”.
It became a reality only because the primary revenue source for the federal government was the Whiskey tax, and the prohibitionists aligned with the graduated tax advocates, and by similar measures to what just occurred with obamacare, the income tax amendment was passed to be ratified, to provide a solid and substantial revenue source for the government absent whiskey taxes, so prohibition had a chance of passing.
Author and Researcher Bill Benson, in “The Law That Never Was,” makes a convincing case that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified and that Secretary of State Philander Knox was not merely in error but committed fraud when he declared it ratified in February 1913. A review of the process in which many of the states purportedly ratified (or didn’t) shows that their ratifications were not legal and should not have been counted. We should all be aware that in order for the Constitution to be modified, an Amendment must receive ratification by three-fourths of the States, which at the time of the 16th Amendment would have required 36 out of the 48 states. Benson reveals the intricacies of how the ratification process never happened.
When Secretary Knox declared the 16th amendment ratified on February 25, 1913, he had received responses from 42 states and acknowledged that four of those states (Utah, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire) had rejected it, counting 38 states as having approved it. But did they? Let’s take a look…
• In Kentucky, the legislature acted on the amendment without even having received it from the governor (the governor of each state was to transmit the proposed amendment to the state legislature). The version of the amendment that the Kentucky legislature made up and acted upon omitted the words “on income” from the text, so they weren’t even voting on an income tax. When they straightened that out (with the help of the governor), the Kentucky senate rejected the amendment; yet Philander Knox counted Kentucky as approving it!
• In Oklahoma, the legislature changed the wording of the amendment so that its meaning was virtually the opposite of what was intended by Congress, and this was the version they sent back to Knox. Yet Knox counted Oklahoma as approving it, despite a memo from his chief legal counsel, Reuben Clark, that states were not allowed to change it in any way.
It should be noted, however, that attorneys who have studied the subject have agreed that Kentucky and Oklahoma should not have been counted as approvals by Knox, and, moreover, if any state could be shown to have violated its own state constitution or laws in its approval process, then that state’s approval would have to be thrown out. That gets us past the “presumptive conclusion” argument, which says that the actions of an executive official cannot be judged by a court and admits that Knox could be wrong. We’re down to the magical THIRTY SIX states approving the Amendment. But there’s more… always is, ya know. If only one more state could be shown to have NOT ratified the Amendment legally, it would have been rejected, but Philander Knox was not about to see that happen!
The state constitution of Tennessee prohibited the state legislature from acting on any proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution sent by Congress until after the next election of state legislators. The intent, of course, is to give the proposed amendment a chance to become an issue in the state legislative elections so that the people can have a voice in determining the outcome. It also provides a cooling off period to reduce the tendency to approve an idea just because it happens to be the moment’s trend. You’ve probably already guessed that the Tennessee legislature did not hold off on voting for the amendment until after the next election, and you’d be right – they didn’t; hence, they acted upon it illegally before they were authorized to do so. They also violated their own state constitution by failing to read the resolution on three different days as prescribed by Article II, Section 18. These state constitutional violations make their approval of the amendment null and void. We’re down to 35 states, which in essence SHOULD mean the Amendment did NOT pass by the three-quarters needed. But let’s “spike the football” and destroy the Amendment even further.
Texas and Louisiana violated provisions in their state constitutions prohibiting the legislatures from empowering the federal government with any additional taxing authority. Now the number is down to 33.
Twelve other states, besides Tennessee, violated provisions in their constitutions requiring that a bill be read on three different days before voting on it. This is not a trivial requirement ~ it allows for a cooling off period. It enables members who may be absent one day to be present on another; it allows for a better familiarity with, and understanding of, the measure under consideration, since some members may not always read a bill or resolution before voting on it. (See, Douglas, things just never change. They don’t read them NOW either!). States violating this procedure were: Mississippi, Ohio, Arkansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, West Virginia, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Colorado, and Illinois. Now the number is reduced to 21 states legally ratifying the amendment.
Further review would make the list dwindle down much more, but with the number down to 20, sixteen fewer than required, this is a suitable place to rest without getting into the matter of several states whose constitutions limited the taxing authority of their legislatures, which could not give to the federal government authority they did not have.
With these facts in mind, and noting this has been recorded, established as fact for the past 99 years, isn’t it about time we do something about this? When we have such a clear and obvious fraud, open for all to see, how can we not set it straight?

What America Needs
by Gunnery Sergeant John McClain, USMC, Retired
08/23/2012
The campaigns have been in full swing, Mr. Romney has selected his running mate, and the incumbent is in full battle dress, coming out swinging. We have a curious situation, with our Nation having been altered dramatically in many ways in the past three plus years, with two completely different perspectives on this aspect.
Those who support obama despite his past, his affiliations, his communist alterations of our Nation’s form, are angry at him for failing to accomplish more. He suggested he had the ability to bring about a level of change he has simply failed to fulfill. Their anger is with him, but it will not work against him, he is still the only one with an open communist agenda.
On the other hand, Mr. Romney “the one who can beat obama” appears to be at a loss for words every time a statement about his past, as governor, as a husband, as a business man is made that charges him with crimes. He is being beat up on his taxes, because he hires a tax accountant to do them, but won’t simply say, “Hey, you hire an accountant and pay, that’s what I did.
He has had his history demanded of him, yet he won’t demand his opponent open his sealed history, with millions spent with lawyers to seal it up. Instead, he merely denies the demand, never representing the demand of Americans from day one.
Mr. Romney sought this election, he actively worked and spent his own money to pursue candidacy, yet while obama demonstrates his every intent to remain in his illegal seat, fighting with all vigor, Mr. Romney seems to be taking this election as if it were for a Scout Master position, something important to The Boys, but not all that important to himself.
Charged with being an elitist, having a horse, a barn for it, and the cost, he won’t take the lead, face his accusers, and challenge them with multiple sclerosis, and what they would do were it their wife or husband had it. He has a horse at least in part because his wife has a life long, ever increasingly imposing disease which is substantially held at bay by the physical therapy horse back riding is. If he won’t fight for his wife’s honor, what kind of Man is he?
Mr. Romney has been a capitalist, he has worked many jobs which were productive during his time, he has been the governor of a State, and has that for a record, in short, he has much with which to challenge the incumbent, and demonstrate his qualification to serve, and can easily demonstrate the failures of the present administration, yet he has failed to even appear on the field of battle.
I did not choose this man, he was never the vision I saw for the future, yet when it all comes down, we have a choice of flawed people from among which to choose, to hold office for the next four years.
I stand absolutely convicted, we cannot restore this nation piece-meal, but must literally halt it, take a careful inventory, and re-assert our full Sovereign Citizen’s Authority. We must rescind our consent to be governed by an illegal government. We must reconstitute the federal government, and return to having a “government which fits in a hat-box”. This is the only way to restore The Established Republic, and the freedoms and liberty that are ours by Endowment by our Creator.
It would be far easier a task if we had a strong willed chief executive who believes in the first principles of the Nation, and can articulate them, and will lead the actions of “cleaning house”, establishing independent investigators, and truly taking out the enemies of our National Principles..
If Mr. Romney is not up to an “animated contest”, he should resign, and open the door for someone who is willing to fight for our Nation. If he is not going to step aside, then it is high time he shows he understands the man he faces is a treasonous criminal; one who has done his best to destroy the founding principles which underlie every aspect of “a Sovereign People, ruling Our Nation, through elected representatives of Our Will”.
Those who support obama have been working at their goal for almost two centuries. Socialists moved in and started working to see their principles the foundation of a “national education system”, initiated in the 1830s. Karl Marx sent one of his most powerful followers in 1850 to lead the movement, because “a free and independent people” are the one people who have no possible need for the lie of Marxism.
America is the only nation which must be destroyed for communism to take control. We are the sole nation with a fixed foundation, principles which are either followed, or destroyed, and our form is the sole form which has ever allowed the common man to rule his own nation “by the quality and vigor of his own work.” We are the antithesis of socialism, and for that reason alone, our principles must be killed, buried, denied, as they are indeed “self evident in their truths”.

The campaigns have been in full swing, Mr. Romney has selected his running mate, and the incumbent is in full battle dress, coming out swinging. We have a curious situation, with our Nation having been altered dramatically in many ways in the past three plus years, with two completely different perspectives on this aspect.
Those who support obama despite his past, his affiliations, his communist alterations of our Nation’s form, are angry at him for failing to accomplish more. He suggested he had the ability to bring about a level of change he has simply failed to fulfill. Their anger is with him, but it will not work against him, he is still the only one with an open communist agenda.
On the other hand, Mr. Romney “the one who can beat obama” appears to be at a loss for words every time a statement about his past, as governor, as a husband, as a business man is made that charges him with crimes. He is being beat up on his taxes, because he hires a tax accountant to do them, but won’t simply say, “Hey, you hire an accountant and pay, that’s what I did.
He has had his history demanded of him, yet he won’t demand his opponent open his sealed history, with millions spent with lawyers to seal it up. Instead, he merely denies the demand, never representing the demand of Americans from day one.
Mr. Romney sought this election, he actively worked and spent his own money to pursue candidacy, yet while obama demonstrates his every intent to remain in his illegal seat, fighting with all vigor, Mr. Romney seems to be taking this election as if it were for a Scout Master position, something important to The Boys, but not all that important to himself.
Charged with being an elitist, having a horse, a barn for it, and the cost, he won’t take the lead, face his accusers, and challenge them with multiple sclerosis, and what they would do were it their wife or husband had it. He has a horse at least in part because his wife has a life long, ever increasingly imposing disease which is substantially held at bay by the physical therapy horse back riding is. If he won’t fight for his wife’s honor, what kind of Man is he?
Mr. Romney has been a capitalist, he has worked many jobs which were productive during his time, he has been the governor of a State, and has that for a record, in short, he has much with which to challenge the incumbent, and demonstrate his qualification to serve, and can easily demonstrate the failures of the present administration, yet he has failed to even appear on the field of battle.
I did not choose this man, he was never the vision I saw for the future, yet when it all comes down, we have a choice of flawed people from among which to choose, to hold office for the next four years.
I stand absolutely convicted, we cannot restore this nation piece-meal, but must literally halt it, take a careful inventory, and re-assert our full Sovereign Citizen’s Authority. We must rescind our consent to be governed by an illegal government. We must reconstitute the federal government, and return to having a “government which fits in a hat-box”. This is the only way to restore The Established Republic, and the freedoms and liberty that are ours by Endowment by our Creator.
It would be far easier a task if we had a strong willed chief executive who believes in the first principles of the Nation, and can articulate them, and will lead the actions of “cleaning house”, establishing independent investigators, and truly taking out the enemies of our National Principles..
If Mr. Romney is not up to an “animated contest”, he should resign, and open the door for someone who is willing to fight for our Nation. If he is not going to step aside, then it is high time he shows he understands the man he faces is a treasonous criminal; one who has done his best to destroy the founding principles which underlie every aspect of “a Sovereign People, ruling Our Nation, through elected representatives of Our Will”.
Those who support obama have been working at their goal for almost two centuries. Socialists moved in and started working to see their principles the foundation of a “national education system”, initiated in the 1830s. Karl Marx sent one of his most powerful followers in 1850 to lead the movement, because “a free and independent people” are the one people who have no possible need for the lie of Marxism.

We are the sole nation with a fixed foundation, principles which are either followed, or destroyed, and our form is the sole form which has ever allowed the common man to rule his own nation “by the quality and vigor of his own work.” We are the antithesis of socialism, and for that reason alone, our principles must be killed, buried, denied, as they are indeed “self evident in their truths”.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE WHO KNEW TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA SHOWED UP DEAD!!!
Who Killed Tony Scott?
August 23, 2012 by Bryan Nash
Who Killed Tony Scott?
UPI FILE
Director Tony Scott was found dead under the Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon, filmmaker Tony Scott parked his car, climbed a fence and jumped to his death because he had brain cancer. At least that’s the version of the story reported by ABC News — the same media outlet that allegedly covered up George Zimmerman’s head wounds and claimed Aurora, Colo., shooting suspect James Holmes was a member of the Tea Party.
ABC News claimed that the report of Scott’s brain cancer came from “a source close to him.” But the story took the family by surprise. It turns out those closest to Scott knew nothing about his having brain cancer. ABC News then put out another story with the headline “Tony Scott Brain Cancer Report Appears in Doubt.”
Apart from the fabricated detail of brain cancer, it’s questionable that a 68-year-old would be able to calmly climb an 18-foot fence, which is what reports claim Scott did before his 185-foot free fall.
The death of the movie man seems too much like something out of a movie: A successful and healthy filmmaker gets news of a fatal illness, leaves a suicide note and leaps to his death before his latest project is released. It sounds like an orchestrated tale. Perhaps it is.
Did Scott know something that led to his untimely peril? Maybe a self-inflicted exit was better than whatever the alternative may have been. That is, if he jumped at all. A corpse dumped in a body of water isn’t that uncommon.
Scott and his brother Ridley Scott have a miniseries on A&E, “Coma,” that will air on Labor Day. The show is about a conspiracy at a medical facility. It exposes a hospital that intentionally performs botched surgeries on patients. “Coma” is supposedly based on the novel of the same title by Robin Cook. But we all know that many “fictional” books and movies are based on real events. Interestingly, the miniseries contains allusions to Atlanta, the home of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Could it be that “Coma” is based on a true story that someone wants to keep hidden?
Besides “Coma,” a Tony Scott documentary is set to air next year on the National Geographic Channel, “Killing Lincoln.” Supposedly, the film lends credence to conspiracy theories surrounding the death of the former President.
Maybe the pressure on Scott wasn’t because of a project already set to air, but something in the files. At the time of Scott’s alleged suicide, he was working on a few other projects — the most notable of which being the sequel to “Top Gun,” the 1986 blockbuster. The sequel was going to be based on the use of drones in modern combat. Scott spent the last few days of his life at a naval air station in Fallon, Nev., doing research for the film. In 2009, there were reports of UFOs at the station. Did Scott discover something while at Fallon?
If “Coma,” “Killing Lincoln” or “Top Gun 2” isn’t to blame for Scott’s death, perhaps the answer can be found somewhere behind the making of “Obama’s America 2016,” a recently released film that seeks to explain Obama’s past and his plans for the future. Scott has a connection to the movie through Gerald R. Molen, the producer of the film. Molen, Scott and Tom Cruise have a cinematic triangle of sorts. Molen, Scott and Cruise worked together on the 1990 film “Days of Thunder.” Molen worked with Cruise on the set of “Rain Man” and “Minority Report.” Scott and Cruise worked alongside each other in “Top Gun” and were spending time together shortly before Scott’s death.
Even though I can’t say for sure what took place on Sunday, I’m fairly certain of what will happen in coming weeks. First, an autopsy will be released and the alleged suicide will be blamed on drug use or an unknown medical problem (the family already refuted the claim that he had “inoperable brain cancer,” so his behavior will be described in other terms). Second, all of the videos that were supposedly taken of Scott’s leap will never be viewed (because they don’t exist). Third, more witnesses will come forward to say they saw Scott jump off the bridge (in an attempt to make the story more credible).
Perhaps we will never know the truth, but ABC News’ mishandling of the story serves to teach a valuable lesson. Jumping to the conclusion that the media are telling you the truth is a deadly mistake.

The Obama Timeline... and thoughts on restoring American liberties
Don Fredrick on August 22, 2012
Behind Obama's controversial words...
Thousands of words have been written about Obama’s July 13 “You didn’t build that” remark. After an immediate salvo of criticism, the Obama team responded that his words were taken out of context and he was referring to roads and bridges, not businesses. (Of course, “roads and bridges” would have been referred to as “those,” not “that.”) Mitt Romney correctly noted that the context was actually worse than Obama’s statement itself. But the words reveal even more than many might believe.
Obama said, “There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me [about raising taxes] because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t—look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something—there are a whole bunch of hard-working people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
The American system that Obama claims allows businesses to thrive is certainly not roads and bridges and teachers. It is freedom and capitalism. We should not need the government’s permission to thrive. We need only for the government to get out of the way. That Obama cannot understand such a concept is more significant than anything else in his controversial statement, and supports the claim that he does not see things from the unique American perspective we expect from an elected official. Government did not make America great. Government protected the freedoms and free enterprise that made America great.
Obama’s “No man is an island” argument does nothing to explain why some men are more productive than others. They all have access to the same coconut trees on the island. Why do some climb the trees to get to the coconuts, while others sit in the shade and wait for them to fall to the ground? (Perhaps some are simply stationed on the barren side of the island, heeding the advice of Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson that it might “tip over and capsize” if all the inhabitants were to gather in the same place.)
Romney is right to emphasize that if a student makes the honor roll we congratulate the student, rather than the bus driver who takes him to and from school every day. Obama is correct that society needs bus drivers and road builders, but he is wrong to believe they should march across the stage with the student and share his award.
Yet there is more behind Obama's words. Conservatives have no objection to paying taxes to maintain roads and bridges, the Armed Forces, the courts, the police, and fire fighters. But beyond those functions, there is almost nothing the government does that the private sector cannot do more efficiently and at a much lower cost. Others prefer as large and powerful a government as possible—one that can provide for them from cradle to grave and reduce or remove the burden of personal responsibility. But what the “progressives” fail to appreciate—or even understand—is that personal responsibility yields individual accomplishments. Those individual accomplishments are the purpose of life. From those accomplishments come pride, satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness. Those are feelings that most conservatives enjoy on a regular basis, and that, tragically, many liberals experience only occasionally. Instead, liberals experience envy, resentment, anger, and frustration. Those are the emotional buttons Obama is pushing with his class warfare tactics.
It is not an accident that Tea Party events consist of generally happy people calling for a less-intrusive government, while Occupy Wall Street events consist of generally angry people demanding a more-intrusive government. The leftist wants to be given something by the government. The conservative wants the government to step aside and allow human genius and productivity to flourish. The leftist wants to be free from the cost of a doctor visit and a strep throat test. The conservative seeks to market an inexpensive at-home test kit that will eliminate the doctor visit altogether. The leftist wants to place his burdens on the shoulders of others. The conservative wants to eliminate the burdens.
Those who are conditioned to believe that government support is a necessary condition of life find it almost impossible to comprehend that others do not feel the same way. Thus, they see “racism” in any criticism of Obama. “How can anyone possibly oppose big government?” necessarily becomes, “Of course they are racists!” (“He can’t really oppose ObamaCare; so he must be a racist.”)
Far too many Americans are so used to relying on government that they no longer know how to rely on themselves—and they resent others who can. For some, that resentment is replaced by a refusal to even accept the existence of the self-reliant. Liberals see retirees at Tea Party gatherings and cite their Social Security benefits as “proof” that “everyone” depends on the government—conveniently forgetting that those retirees paid for those benefits (and would have far greater wealth had they put their money in gold rather than into a non-existent Social Security “Trust Fund”). Those on the far left believe everyone is a dependent in one way or another. To a leftist, a person on welfare and the owner of a business are therefore morally equivalent. The former receives direct government assistance, while the latter is successful only because everyone else provided them with the tools of success.
Some seem willing—even eager—to argue that Beethoven would have amounted to nothing had someone else not first invented the piano, Shakespeare would have been a disease-ridden beggar were it not for Gutenberg’s printing press, Thomas Edison owes his success to the inventor of glass, and Andrew Carnegie would never have made a fortune producing steel had a cave man not discovered the fire needed for his blast furnaces. That is the nonsense being peddled by Obama (and Elizabeth Warren).
Of course, there are some people who do owe almost all of their success to others. Throughout his life the current temporary occupant of our Oval Office was aided every step of the way. Others bailed him out on a recurring basis, paying for his enrollment at expensive private schools, writing letters of recommendation to get him into Harvard Law School, providing him with affirmative action benefits, not calling him to account when he voted “present” in the Illinois State Senate, putting his name on legislation written by others, ghost-writing his biography, giving him sweetheart mortgage deals, getting the sealed divorce records of his opponents unsealed, changing the Democrat primary rules to deny Hillary Clinton votes from Florida and Michigan, shielding his school records, forging birth certificates and a Selective Service registration form, pretending he slept through 20 years of inflammatory sermons, ignoring his thuggish campaign tactics, and showering him with sycophantic media coverage worth even more than the massive campaign funds he raised.
Being aided and abetted along the way is the only life Obama ever knew. He therefore assumes that everyone else who has achieved a modicum of success was generously aided by others or obtained success by cheating. Obama is desperate to “prove” that Romney cheated on his taxes and lied on SEC statements because he cannot comprehend the existence of a successful person who is not a crook. Obama has been surrounded by shady characters throughout his life. They include his drug-dealing, pornographer, communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis; former fugitives from the FBI, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn; money-man Tony Rezko (now in jail); former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich (now in jail); close advisor Valerie “slumlord” Jarrett; political hatchet man David Axelrod; campaign bundler Jon Corzine, who stole more than $1 billion in customer funds from MF Global investors; and, of course, Attorney General Eric Holder—who has been called “the biggest enabler of financial crime in U.S. history.”
Mitt Romney does not fit the image that Obama needs to attack. He neither drinks nor smokes. He attends church. He donates millions of dollars to charity. He married his high-school sweetheart and has five clean-cut sons. He succeeded in business. He created jobs. He rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from failure. He is the ultimate American.
That is why Obama hates Mitt Romney. Romney is a self-made man. His father, George Romney, started from nothing but eventually became the head of American Motors and the governor of Michigan. When he died, Mitt donated his entire inheritance to charity. (Obama, on the other hand, refuses to help his half-brother George Obama, who lives in poverty in a Nairobi slum. Barack Obama is only generous with other people’s money.)
Romney is more than a political opponent. He is a symbol of capitalism, the system Obama was raised to abhor. Even worse for Obama, Romney has selected as his running mate a man who can articulate what capitalism means. Romney represents capitalism, but Paul Ryan can explain it.
The words, “You didn’t build that” are far less dangerous for America than the attitude that prompted them. Romney and Ryan are making that known. Obama is not running against Romney-Ryan. He has been forced to run against America. That is why Obama is angry, and that is why he will lose.

10 Political and Economic Imponderables that Should Drive You Crazy
From Alan Bates, MD
August 20, 2012
1. Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $40,000-a-plate campaign fund raising event.
2. Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when we have a black President, a black Attorney General, and a federal workforce that is roughly 18% black when the black population is only 12%.
3. Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code — Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee — turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.
4. Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.
5. Only in America would we make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.
6. Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country’s Constitution be thought of as “extremists.”
7. Only in America could you need to present a driver’s license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.
8. Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of what a company that manufactures sports shoes and apparel (Nike) makes.
9. Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending ($7 million PER MINUTE), and complain that it doesn’t have nearly enough money.
10. Only in America could the rich people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their “fair share” by people who don’t pay any income taxes at all.

OBAMA’S INELIGIBILITY AS PRESIDENT PUTTING U.S. MILITARY AND INTEL PERSONNEL AT RISK
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY THREAT - A recently released video produced by a group of former and current intelligence and special forces military personnel explicitly confronts Barack Obama’s professional abilities as a president while demanding that he “shut the **** up” when it comes to military operational security and intelligence information.
by Dan Crosby,
of The Daily Pen (Sunday, August 19, 2012)
NEW YORK, NY – Barack Obama did say transparency would be the “touchstone” of his administration, after all.
Little did anyone think that Obama's "transparency" would mean his administration's repeated disclosure of sensitive military intelligence to the enemies of the United States.
Moreover, it is unfortunate that only a few true patriots in our military, beginning with Dr. Col. Terry Lakin, were courageous enough to risk their professional and personal welfare in order to sound the alarm for the American people that Obama isn't legally qualified to even have an administration, let alone have the opportunity to undermine America’s national security with it.
A recently released video produced by OPSEC (Operational Security) Foundation, a recently formed group of current and former military and intelligence operations personnel, demands that Obama and his administration keep quiet when it comes to divulging operational security and intelligence information merely for his own political benefit.
In the 22 minute video, Dishonorable Disclosures: How Leaks and Politics Threaten National Security, highly experienced and decorated intelligence and military personnel explain the risks of disclosing information about military operations. They also show evidence that the Obama administration has leaked confidential information about drone missions, agents’ identities, special forces tactics and network security operations.
“As a citizen, it is my civil duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy. It will get Americans killed,” says Navy Seal, Ben Smith in the video “
Beginning in 2009, when evidence began to surface that Obama was not eligible to be president, his administration began to come under scrutiny from military commanders and clandestine services personnel for what they called egregious breaches in national security following a handful of high profile intelligence leaks originating from the White House, including information made public about the alleged raid on Osama Bin Laden’s Pakistani compound in May of 2011.
In an ironic twist, Obama’s birth certificate and college transcripts are more secure than information about CIA drone missions and special forces tactics. Unfortunately for millions of innocent people, Obama is better at hiding the identity of his real father than the identity of Navy Seals in the Middle East.
The video, which concludes with former USMC Lt. Colonel, Bill Cowan, explicitly telling Obama to "shut the up" when it comes to military intelligence information, has more than 2 million views on both the OPSEC website and YouTube since August 15th
The organization’s website, www.dishonorabledisclosure.com states the following:
“President Barack Obama is perceived to a significant degree as responsible for the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and has taken significant steps to use that action to prop up his Presidency politically. A notable amount of political hyperbole has already been provided, witness his leaping to the media platform at 11:45 pm on a Sunday night, and the subsequent comments by VP Biden and others to the effect that it was a “bold and courageous” decision, and that “only one other advisor” favored the action.
While neither is true, this action is perhaps the single most powerful symbol Obama will use during the campaign to provide some credibility to his national defense and foreign affairs stature during the forthcoming fall campaign, thereby avoiding what has been referred to as his various “Tours of Apology” overseas. One may assume, as a practical matter, the BHO political media firm has already laid out the spot featuring him gassing up the stealth helicopters.
The decision to execute the raid on the compound in Pakistan was unavoidable, and neither bold or courageous. In fact, there was no practical way out. The political cost of failure was far less than the cost not trying in the face of evidence of Bin Laden's presence. To be confronted with the information that there was between a 45% and 60% chance OBL was in the compound and to have not executed the operation to kill OBL, who was responsible for the deaths of approximately 3,000 American citizens in New York City alone and untold others on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, would have ultimately been discovered, and would have resulted in Obama's removal from office by either electoral defeat or impeachment and removal.
There was simply no choice. Being well aware that President Clinton's administration had passed by more than one opportunity to remove OBL before 9/11, and also aware that those instances had become public knowledge, it could have been construed as a bold, courageous (albeit stupid) decision to NOT execute the raid.
What has occurred, alongside this and other related actions by special operations forces and the intelligence community, is the public unveiling of classified military and intelligence capabilities for political purposes, thereby posing a serious future threat to the lives of the intelligence and special operations personnel involved in such actions, as well as the exposure of intelligence gathering methods and future special operations missions.
In addition, in perhaps the most egregious display of ambition over country by a sitting President in modern times, the President of the United States mounted a media platform on a Sunday night at 2345 hours to announce to the voters that OBL had been killed.
This naked grandstanding came despite the fact that DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) and other operatives had recovered huge amounts of intelligence material, quite probably with information that could have been converted to actionable intelligence, to include dozens of flash drives, computer hard drives and documents that without doubt contained massive amounts of information on the names, locations and operations of Al Qaeda worldwide.
This may have been our sole opportunity to utterly and completely destroy Al Qaeda. But before any of this treasure trove of intelligence could be analyzed, without any thought as to consequences, and before any other terrorists could be seized, BHO ran to the stage and announced it to the entire world. In a few brief moments of selfish grandstanding and political opportunism, our Commander In Chief lost the single opportunity to exploit intelligence that, had secrecy been preserved, might well have crushed Al Qaeda once and for all.
Within a few minutes of that announcement, every AQ terrorist moved into another rabbit hole where they could not be found, so they could continue their murdering of American soldiers and innocent civilians across the globe. How many have died since that date?
Beyond this, the disclosure by the Administration of a host of classified details pertaining to intelligence gathering by the various Agencies prior to the raid, as well as voluminous details about the raid itself, puts American military and intelligence personnel at severe risk of not just a failure of a future mission, but death or injury incurred because the opponents now better know and understand the practices that our Special Operations forces and intelligence gatherers employ.”
Somewhere in the midwest, a redeemed Terry Lakin is trying very hard not say, "I told you so."
One of the very dangerous side effects of Obama’s lack of Constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President is that his confused identity makes him dangerously irresponsible when it comes to matters of operational security and military intelligence, according to a group of former and current CIA and Special Forces military personnel.
“This is not surprising. These guys are taking action on what General McChrystal knew way back in June of 2010,” says TDP Editor, Pen Johannson, “He resigned from his command in Afghanistan because he knew Obama was undermining the effort there, too.”
Strangely, however, as national intelligence information becomes less secure under Obama, he is spending untold resources to prevent any leaks about his biographical information and birth records.
Essentially, Obama has lost all authoritative credibility and, thus, has become desperate to remain in power. When a politician enters this depth of corruption he or she becomes dangerous politically. They are no longer conscious of the harm they are doing to others because their desperation has blinded them.
Moreover, if that politician harbors partiality toward foreign nations over their regard for the people of the United States, inclinations to reveal confidential information about military operations may become intentional.
In order to combat the potential threat of a foreign usurper assuming the office of President, the founders of this nation explicitly commanded that anyone seeking the office be exceptionally qualified under three Constitutional requirements. He or she must be 35 year of age, be a resident of the U.S. for 14 years and be a Natural Born citizen.
In order to be a Natural Born citizen, an individual must be born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents without renouncement or lapse of citizenship status from birth to election. This set of standards applies only for those seeking the executive office.
As we see now, for good reason.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY THREAT - A recently released video produced by a group of former and current intelligence and special forces military personnel explicitly confronts Barack Obama’s professional abilities as a president while demanding that he “shut the **** up” when it comes to military operational security and intelligence information.

NEW YORK, NY – Barack Obama did say transparency would be the “touchstone” of his administration, after all.
Little did anyone think that Obama's "transparency" would mean his administration's repeated disclosure of sensitive military intelligence to the enemies of the United States.
Moreover, it is unfortunate that only a few true patriots in our military, beginning with Dr. Col. Terry Lakin, were courageous enough to risk their professional and personal welfare in order to sound the alarm for the American people that Obama isn't legally qualified to even have an administration, let alone have the opportunity to undermine America’s national security with it.
A recently released video produced by OPSEC (Operational Security) Foundation, a recently formed group of current and former military and intelligence operations personnel, demands that Obama and his administration keep quiet when it comes to divulging operational security and intelligence information merely for his own political benefit.
In the 22 minute video, Dishonorable Disclosures: How Leaks and Politics Threaten National Security, highly experienced and decorated intelligence and military personnel explain the risks of disclosing information about military operations. They also show evidence that the Obama administration has leaked confidential information about drone missions, agents’ identities, special forces tactics and network security operations.
“As a citizen, it is my civil duty to tell the president to stop leaking information to the enemy. It will get Americans killed,” says Navy Seal, Ben Smith in the video “
Beginning in 2009, when evidence began to surface that Obama was not eligible to be president, his administration began to come under scrutiny from military commanders and clandestine services personnel for what they called egregious breaches in national security following a handful of high profile intelligence leaks originating from the White House, including information made public about the alleged raid on Osama Bin Laden’s Pakistani compound in May of 2011.
In an ironic twist, Obama’s birth certificate and college transcripts are more secure than information about CIA drone missions and special forces tactics. Unfortunately for millions of innocent people, Obama is better at hiding the identity of his real father than the identity of Navy Seals in the Middle East.
The video, which concludes with former USMC Lt. Colonel, Bill Cowan, explicitly telling Obama to "shut the up" when it comes to military intelligence information, has more than 2 million views on both the OPSEC website and YouTube since August 15th
The organization’s website, www.dishonorabledisclosure.com states the following:
“President Barack Obama is perceived to a significant degree as responsible for the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and has taken significant steps to use that action to prop up his Presidency politically. A notable amount of political hyperbole has already been provided, witness his leaping to the media platform at 11:45 pm on a Sunday night, and the subsequent comments by VP Biden and others to the effect that it was a “bold and courageous” decision, and that “only one other advisor” favored the action.
While neither is true, this action is perhaps the single most powerful symbol Obama will use during the campaign to provide some credibility to his national defense and foreign affairs stature during the forthcoming fall campaign, thereby avoiding what has been referred to as his various “Tours of Apology” overseas. One may assume, as a practical matter, the BHO political media firm has already laid out the spot featuring him gassing up the stealth helicopters.
The decision to execute the raid on the compound in Pakistan was unavoidable, and neither bold or courageous. In fact, there was no practical way out. The political cost of failure was far less than the cost not trying in the face of evidence of Bin Laden's presence. To be confronted with the information that there was between a 45% and 60% chance OBL was in the compound and to have not executed the operation to kill OBL, who was responsible for the deaths of approximately 3,000 American citizens in New York City alone and untold others on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, would have ultimately been discovered, and would have resulted in Obama's removal from office by either electoral defeat or impeachment and removal.
There was simply no choice. Being well aware that President Clinton's administration had passed by more than one opportunity to remove OBL before 9/11, and also aware that those instances had become public knowledge, it could have been construed as a bold, courageous (albeit stupid) decision to NOT execute the raid.
What has occurred, alongside this and other related actions by special operations forces and the intelligence community, is the public unveiling of classified military and intelligence capabilities for political purposes, thereby posing a serious future threat to the lives of the intelligence and special operations personnel involved in such actions, as well as the exposure of intelligence gathering methods and future special operations missions.
In addition, in perhaps the most egregious display of ambition over country by a sitting President in modern times, the President of the United States mounted a media platform on a Sunday night at 2345 hours to announce to the voters that OBL had been killed.
This naked grandstanding came despite the fact that DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) and other operatives had recovered huge amounts of intelligence material, quite probably with information that could have been converted to actionable intelligence, to include dozens of flash drives, computer hard drives and documents that without doubt contained massive amounts of information on the names, locations and operations of Al Qaeda worldwide.
This may have been our sole opportunity to utterly and completely destroy Al Qaeda. But before any of this treasure trove of intelligence could be analyzed, without any thought as to consequences, and before any other terrorists could be seized, BHO ran to the stage and announced it to the entire world. In a few brief moments of selfish grandstanding and political opportunism, our Commander In Chief lost the single opportunity to exploit intelligence that, had secrecy been preserved, might well have crushed Al Qaeda once and for all.
Within a few minutes of that announcement, every AQ terrorist moved into another rabbit hole where they could not be found, so they could continue their murdering of American soldiers and innocent civilians across the globe. How many have died since that date?
Beyond this, the disclosure by the Administration of a host of classified details pertaining to intelligence gathering by the various Agencies prior to the raid, as well as voluminous details about the raid itself, puts American military and intelligence personnel at severe risk of not just a failure of a future mission, but death or injury incurred because the opponents now better know and understand the practices that our Special Operations forces and intelligence gatherers employ.”
Somewhere in the midwest, a redeemed Terry Lakin is trying very hard not say, "I told you so."
One of the very dangerous side effects of Obama’s lack of Constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President is that his confused identity makes him dangerously irresponsible when it comes to matters of operational security and military intelligence, according to a group of former and current CIA and Special Forces military personnel.
“This is not surprising. These guys are taking action on what General McChrystal knew way back in June of 2010,” says TDP Editor, Pen Johannson, “He resigned from his command in Afghanistan because he knew Obama was undermining the effort there, too.”
Strangely, however, as national intelligence information becomes less secure under Obama, he is spending untold resources to prevent any leaks about his biographical information and birth records.
Essentially, Obama has lost all authoritative credibility and, thus, has become desperate to remain in power. When a politician enters this depth of corruption he or she becomes dangerous politically. They are no longer conscious of the harm they are doing to others because their desperation has blinded them.
Moreover, if that politician harbors partiality toward foreign nations over their regard for the people of the United States, inclinations to reveal confidential information about military operations may become intentional.
In order to combat the potential threat of a foreign usurper assuming the office of President, the founders of this nation explicitly commanded that anyone seeking the office be exceptionally qualified under three Constitutional requirements. He or she must be 35 year of age, be a resident of the U.S. for 14 years and be a Natural Born citizen.
In order to be a Natural Born citizen, an individual must be born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents without renouncement or lapse of citizenship status from birth to election. This set of standards applies only for those seeking the executive office.
As we see now, for good reason.
