Party On

And The Party Goes On

According to Judicial watch the charges for the aircraft and crew alone for First Lady Michelle Obama’s South Africa trip to Botswana in June cost $424,142.00
You and I need to tighten our belts though, according to the President.

The trip included transportation for the 21 family and staff members. Those costs aren’t included in the $424,142.00 price tag.

The information obtained by Judicial Watch, via a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request also noted that the President and Michelle’s two daughters were listed on the manifest as well as Mrs. Obama’s mother and niece and nephew.

The information was only divulged after Judicial Watch filed suit.

The Obamas remind me of a care giver that exploits the person they’re hired to care for, hoping the patient doesn’t die before they’ve taken every dime from them.

How soon he forgets

The Quote of the Decade:

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006!

From the town that gave us ACORN

Dirty Politics From Chicago, Again? Who Knew?

Once again it appears that bastion of forthrightness is at it, again.
In tactics reminiscent of ACORN, HOPE, a not-for-profit organization in Chicago is accused of paying people to attend protests that backed the closing of public schools. Can I just say this isn’t exactly shocking news? Chicago has pretty much been the gold-standard when it comes to dishonesty and crooked politics. The fact isn’t arguable. They have given us a long list of examples of less-than-stellar individuals including, dare I say it? I must, I must; Obama, ‘Blago’, Mayor Dailey and a list of names too long to mention. The only true way of determining if a person is dead is to find them registered as a Democrat in Chicago.

Two men claimed they were offered money and provided signs with no idea what they were actually protesting. Sound familiar? It should. It’s the same tactics ACORN used when getting signatures to vote for Obama. Remember their motto… ‘Vote early and vote often’.

To add insult to injury one of the men said they didn’t pay him his other $25.00. I can’t believe he was surprised. They were dealing with Chicago community organizers, after all.

Both men told the Chicago Sun-Times they had no idea what the rally was about but they were promised money to show up and weren’t told till the last minute what it would be for.

Thaddeus Scott said he was promised $50.00 to speak at the rally. He claimed he was stiffed out of $25.00 but doesn’t even want their ‘dirty money’, now that he knows what it was all about.

Of course the Rev. Roosevelt Watkins III of HOPE has a little different take. He says Scott wasn’t given the other $25.00 because he publicly revealed that he was compensated for speaking at the hearing. Why the audacity of Thaddeus to stoop to the level of being honest! I’m appalled!

The Rev says he was paying them money to attend “training”. Well, that’s more like it. For a moment there I thought he was being deceptive. Watkins told the Chicago Sun-Times, “What we do – so you can hear it from the horse’s mouth (somehow it was the other end of the horse that came to mind when I read this story) is we provide training because we engage community activists (there’s that term, again) to participate in things such as health care, affordable housing, safety. Those things. So we do training on community organizing.”

Where have we heard that term, ‘community organizing’ before? Oh, yes, Obama and ACORN. Wonder where HOPE gets their money to pay the ‘community organizers’.

Why am I asking – This is Chicago?

Good News For Trees

Since Obama took office numbers for new homes being built is the lowest in history. Good news for trees. Not nearly as many will be cut down to build new homes. How exciting -- assuming you are an occupy wherever person and can illegally camp out in national parks without fear of being thrown out.

Take that, rock star.

I love this photo.

When Obama got off Air Force One in Arizona, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer thought they were going to discuss the economy and jobs.

Instead, our blamer-in-chief launched into a diatribe about how he was not happy with the way he was portrayed in Gov. Brewer's book. Gov. Brewer said, "It is what it is." and stated the President is "thin-skinned".

After a lengthy conversation on the tarmack in Arizona, the President turned his back on Gov. Brewer and walked away while she was still talking to him.

Clearly, Barry has the personality of a snot-nosed little 5-year-old. He doesn't know how to handle it when he's not adored like a rock star.

The guy has no shame

Obama’s speech summarized

If you opted not to suffer through the bovine flatulence of Obama’s campaign speech, thinly disguised as a ‘State of the Union’ speech, I’ll summarize it for you.

Everything that he and his cronies have done to destroy this great nation and the economy was somehow blamed on Republicans. Like the Wizard of OZ Obama wants us to ignore what we know to be true – what we’ve watched him do and just, “Ignore that man behind the curtain!”

He railed about companies moving overseas and outsourcing jobs overseas. Yet, this President has done exactly that.

His catch phrase for the evening was, “Send me that bill and I’ll sign it right now.” Of course he will, so long as it serves to weaken America.

I love the one where he said, “Send me a bill that creates jobs.” Why? He’s had several bills that would do just that but he wants no part of it. His idea of creating jobs is to appoint another czar who goes through no form vetting and has no accountability.

Naturally, he had his cronies who clapped at everything he said – especially when he spoke of irresponsible banks who gave bad loans. No excuses and no bailouts, he claims.
He informed his groupies that those days are over!

It was his ilk who caused this mess. Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Charlie Rangle are just a few names that come to mind. If I may be so crass… Obama could have farted and said, “pull my finger” and they would have gave their rock star a standing ovation.

He says he will hold those accountable who used fraud in the mortgage mess. He will need go no further than most of the members of his own Cabinet and his cronies.

I could go on but you get the picture. This was nothing short of a campaign speech filled with incredible lies and rhetoric. He says, “The American people know what the truth is.” Exactly, but he refuses to listen because he knows more than us.

Obama needs to be a one-term President. Vote in November to see that he is.

'Shovel-ready jobs' -- if you're from China

This one should be tough for the supporters of the current regime to swallow....AND it comes from ABC NEWS...no Snopes or Wikileaks on this one!!



U.S.A.Bridges and Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms

Shocking to say the least! This video is a jaw-dropper that will make you sick. (It was also shocking that ABC was actually reporting this story.)

The lead-in with Obama promising jobs in the U.S. by improving our infrastructure is so typical of all his promises! Our tax dollars are at work - for CHINA!!!

I pray all the unemployed see this and cast their votes accordingly in 2012!

War is hell

From the Weekly Standard:


Allen West on the Marines Incident: 'Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell'


1:37 PM, Jan 13, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER



Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.




“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?

“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Misguided student with no class skip class

Tucson, AZ

100 misguided high school students walk out of class in Tucson

Approximately 100 Cholla High Magnet School students walked out of class and walked about 4 miles to TUSD (Tucson Unified School District) headquarters to protest the elimination of Mexican American Studies course there.

‘Mexican American Studies’ is code for, anti-American rhetoric and racism studies for the young skulls full of mush. TUSD was ordered to eliminate the course when it was found to violate state laws that prohibits overthrow of the government (ours), racism (the course pushed an agenda that suggested America stole Arizona from Mexico – untrue and solidarity for a particular race. As a matter of fact La Raza means, the race.

Photos of protesting students showed one young Latino with a red bandana over his face, pumping his fist in the air, ala Che Guevara, that fine individual so popular with revolutionaries and the Hollywood left. You know, the one responsible for raping and murdering his own people.

We heard quotes from protestors saying, despite a court order to eliminate or lose about $15 million in state funding, this was not going to stop them. They promised something ‘big’ is going to happen on the 15th. When asked if that was a threat the response was, “Yes!”

TUSD assistant superintendent Lupita Cavazos-Garcia is quoted as saying, “We wanted to let the students know that we care about them and their education, and we’re trying to make sound decision.”

Here’s a news flash for you, Ms. Cavazos-Garcia – you can start by giving them what us taxpayers are paying for – a REAL education and not a radical indoctrination. The Mexican American Studies course had nothing to do with helping kids prepare themselves for going out into the job market. What it did was teach them the same basic principles that our current ‘blamer-in-chief’ exposes, that they can’t make it because Americans are giving them a raw deal. The only thing the classes taught them was hatred, how to wear a red bandana with your fist pumped in the air, how to skip class without consequences and how to take part in mob mentality in the face of a court order (again, without consequences. We wouldn’t want to appear to be racist for enforcing the same rules that would be enforced if it were Asian, Indian, black or white students doing the same).

Let’s be clear… They had no class to begin with. These kids have been coached by adult teachers and La Raza leaders and would be more than happy to protest the closing of a buggy whip factory if it would get them out of class and in front of TV cameras.

The Arizona Daily Star article said it was not clear if the students would face consequences or not. Let me help you out – NO, they won’t. They have learned from past experience that they won’t. There are too many prominent leaders in the Mexican-heritage community who would bring even more charges of racism if that were to happen. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

This has nothing to do with racism and it’s time we start holding people accountable. The race card is always played when folks find out we know the facts. Suddenly those who bring up legitimate questions and concerns are faced with defending themselves against charges of racism instead of dealing with the facts. I, for one am unwilling to get pulled into that ploy.

The facts are what they are and it’s time we start holding people accountable – including teachers who coach these kids to engage in these acts.

Don't know if this letter is ligit, but I like it.

Darn good ideas!

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future shes
worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that shes being forced to live in! These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010

Put me in charge . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone
Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound
bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you
can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do
is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.
Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and
document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use
drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?


You will maintain our property in a clean and good
state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and
possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360,
then get a job and your own place.


In addition, you will either present a check stub from
a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be
cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing,
whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile
tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward
the common good..

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights,
realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money,
accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and
ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that
taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning
and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes
we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices.
The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer
can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of
interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are
receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Calls For Tougher Gun Laws Following Killing Of Park Ranger

The suspect in the killing of a Mount Rainier National Park Ranger has been found dead, face-down in the snow, according to an Associated Press story.

Although identification of the body has yet to be confirmed, it is believed that the body is that of 24-year-old Benjamin Colton Barnes.

Much has been made of Barnes being an Iraq veteran, supposedly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD), after deploying to Iraq from 2007-2008. The mother of his child said in a signed affidavit that Barnes got easily irritated, angry and depressed and kept an arsenal of weapons in his home. Hopefully, Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik doesn’t come out claiming ‘Right-wing’ radio, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party forced him to do it.

Let’s be clear – PTSD is a very real thing. It was generally associated with returning Viet Nam vets but we’re hearing more and more reports of returning Iraq vets suffering from the disorder. It is my hope that these men and women, as well as those Viet Nam vets who preceded them, be given REAL help from the Veterans Administration and not JUST drugs to make them go away.

My problem with this story, aside from the obvious, that innocent people died is how the loons want to spin the story. I can see it already – ‘Returning Iraq vet goes on shooting rampage.’ The inference being all returning combat vets should be suspect and considered ‘ticking time-bombs’, just waiting to go off.

There are many thousands of combat vets in our midst who are very well adjusted and not a threat to society. The fact that something like this is a big news story when it happens is a testament to how rare these instances are.

While we’re on the subject of ‘spin’… Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, is quoted in the AP article as saying Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. It is his hope that Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010.

Illogical, reactionary claims, like that of Wades aren’t exactly new. As a matter-of-fact we can count on hearing more of them, ala: Gabby Giffords syndrome. There are those, like Wade who probably believe the nonsense they’re asserting. There are others who subscribe to the Rahm Emanuel school of thought that claims, “Never let crisis go to waste.” They will claim this tragedy as a nexus for tougher gun laws.

Who in their right mind believes Barnes was anything BUT in his right mind? Is there anyone but these anti-gun fanatics who believes this whack-job really gave whether it was illegal to carry a loaded firearm into Mount Rainier?

The park gets estimated 1.5 million and 2 million visitors to the park each year, according to the article. Let’s do the math on that one, shall we? That computes out to 3 million to 4 million people since the law permitted carrying of loaded firearms in the park 2 years ago. One nut job out of 3 million to 4 million visitors who certainly didn’t put whether it was or wasn’t legal to carry a loaded or not in the park. Let me see if I have this correct, Bill – Barnes had no qualms about wounding four people earlier in the day and murdering a National Park Ranger but you believe a law prohibiting him from carrying a loaded firearm into the park would have prevented this tragedy. Do I have that about right? Do you have any idea how illogical that sounds?

There will always be people who either honestly erroneously believe that a gun law will prevent tragedies like this from happening or others who will use them to exploit in an effort to get stricter gun laws. Both factions must be seen for what they are and challenged.

There are those who actually believe we can simply pass gun laws, ban firearms and the world will become a utopian world where no one will ever have to fear violence of any form. I have one thing to say to those folks – you’re stupid! If you think cops carry a firearm to protect you, you’re equally stupid. Cops carry a firearm to protect themselves; not YOU. Does that tell you anything? Probably not.

My suggestion is to take a course in, LOGIC 101 and see if your statements make any sense at all before your blurt them out.
