Jon Stewart & Mocking the Middle

Most of us are tired of the elites and "intellectuals" (including our own representatives) and their constant distain for their fellow Americans. Generally how it goes is that if you aren't liberal, don't vote Democratic, and don't still worship at the altar of Obama, you are somehow intellectually inferior or even defective. This is, of course, hogwash, but the fact that actual verbal attacks on Americans are continuing makes me wonder just what kind of morons we have in Washington. Seriously, they think calling their fellow Americans "backwards" (John Hickenlooper, CO gubernatorial candidate and mayor of Denver) and "enemies" (President Obama) will somehow increase their voter turn out? In a way this is true, voters WILL turn out in records numbers, but not for the reasons these politicians might want.

In the same train of thought, this came from Hugh Hewitt today .....

The Washington Post's Anne Applebaum is worried that Jon Stewart's "rally" in D.C. will turn out badly:

I don't know about you, but my heart sank when I read about Jon Stewart's Million Moderate March, planned for the Mall next weekend. My heart sank further when I learned that liberal groups, lacking any better ideas, have decided to take this endeavor seriously. It's bad enough that the only way to drum up enthusiasm for a "Rally to Restore Sanity" is to make it into a television comedian's joke. But it's far worse that the "moderates" in attendance will have been bused in by Arianna Huffington and organized by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Stewart's gathering, like Stephen Colbert's "testimony" to Congress last month, is another exercise in mocking middle America --the middle of the country geographically, the middle when it comes to income, the middle when it comes to politics.

It is specifically targeted at the Tea Party, at the hundreds of thousands who turned out at the Beck-Palin rally in September, and at the millions who sympathized with those marching then.

The middle this year is decidely anti-Democratic where it was pro-Obama two years ago. The center of the political spectrum has shifted, and the left now doesn't much like its allies of two years ago, and the result is the venom of some and the condescension of others. Hollywood is divided between the two reactions, but Stewart's overt mocking will go a long way to motivating the center-right's turnout on 11/2.

There is nothing like the contempt of elites to energize anti-elites. The Tea Party owed its creation to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It owes thanks for a last push towards next week's victories to all the members of the chattering class who have been so open in their scorn and so thorough in their disdain for ordinary Americans holding traditional opinions on the size and scope of government.

Sincerely,

Hugh Hewitt

Juan Williams, the Muslim Issue, and Political Correctness

This is America, the land of free speech and freedom of religion. Sadly, as indicated by NPR's firing of Juan Williams this week, we are a country who has lost its way in the murky swamp of political correctness. We've all watched it happen over the last three decades, we've all cringed inside at the ridiculousness of it. Yet we've allowed it ... until this week, when our country exploded in indignation over the firing of a good & decent political analyst who told the truth about how so many of us feel every time we are at the airport, or in crowds, or notice something that feels a little off in Times Square. The scars of 9/11 still exist no matter how much we've put a happy face on the event and squash the understandable skittishness we feel about this focused effort to murder us.

The Ground Zero mosque tweaked people. It's simply too close to the target zone, too close to a something which could be used as a victory monument ... not by peaceful Muslims, but by those who wish us all harm. Our mainstream media never pointed out during this controversy that Muslims build a mosque at or near EVERY point of victory. Oh let's not look at that, let's not examine that, it might OFFEND those who want to murder us. Give me a break.

Are all Muslims part of a murdering hoard? Of course not. Then again, neither were all Germans nazis, yet their inaction, their unwillingness to recognize what was going on in their culture, much less call attention to it, contributed to the murder of millions of innocents. When it comes to fluffy, peaceful Muslims, we hear very little from them about what it happening in our world at the hand of their violent brothers.

America has been falsely accused of targeting those fluffy, peaceful Muslims beginning the day after 9/11. But it's a lie. No mosques were burned, no Muslims murdered, and very few harassed in the ten years since 9/11, yet there is this eery fear that any mention that it's Muslims, and only Muslims, murdering people through terrorist attacks in the U.S. and the world will somehow explode into Muslim oppression. Really? I just don't see the evidence. What I do see is a very long list of Muslim extremists blowing us up and very few actually willing to point this out.

d. Muslim male between the ages of 17 and 40

Nope, no pattern here! Just misunderstood Muslims ... don't dare look at those who believe in this "religion of peace" with any kind of suspicion or doubt. That would be RAAAAAACIST.

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners can’t profile Muslims — even though Muslims are the ones mass murdering people using America’s PC-obsession against us. In airports, TSA must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Political correctness is killing us, and we are too worried about offending someone to protect ourselves or even talk about it.

Thank you Juan Williams and Bill O'Reilly for pulling back the curtain in Oz and making us look at who is hiding back there.

"Let them eat cake" - How our First Lady will contribute to President Obama's losses in 2010 and 2012

Great article by Austin Hill in today's Town Hall, Barack, Michelle, Champaign Wishes and Caviar Dreams, pointing out the disparity of what our "monarchs" are doing versus what they are saying. The parties, the trips, etc. these things are sticking in the craw of most Americans, especially those out of work. We are ALL paying for their lavish Wednesday night parties and the never-ending stream of vacations.

Michelle Obama's current trip to Spain is the most recent fiasco. As her husband has spent 18 months (plus some campaign time) telling us all to tighten our belts, his wife has used her position as First Lady not to do public service, but to live high on the hog. She exemplifies "do as I say, not as I do," which couldn't be anymore obvious than when she proclaimed that Americans should flock to the Gulf Coast to help their tourist industry then promptly went to the coast of Maine with her family on vacation. HUH?

Two weeks later she's living it up in Spain, with a personal entourage of 40 (also being paid for by us), plus the necessary Secret Service and security forces, in a $3,000/night luxury hotel. Mind you, this is not an official visit. She's not actually DOING anything to represent our country or working! Nope, this is vacation time for her and her daughter. I guest she needs a break after all that vacationing in Maine and her 15 minutes at the Gulf Coast.

There is more than a disconnect going on here. They (her in particular) show a complete disregard for what Americans are dealing with as they jet set off to where they wish to go for whatever reason ... including flying the family dog on it's own private plane. Seriously, can you imagine the outcry if the Bushes had done that? The media complained incessantly about President Bush going to Camp David and his own ranch!

President Obama gleefully blames the Bush Administration for the financial woes of the country (nevermind that it was the Democratic Congress that made the last four years a financial disaster area), but he and Michelle clearly learned nothing from the Bushes as far as grace and consideration of the people of America who pay for their livelihood and their extravagances.

Did you know, for example, that through the four years of Bush 41 and the eight years of Bush 43, every Christmas was spent at Camp David? Do you know why? Camp David has a 24/7 in house staff and security. They all live there year round. By going to Camp David, the Bushes allowed their Washington staff and Secret Service to spend the holidays with their families instead of taking them away to, say, Hawaii. When the Bushes went on vacation, they went to the ranch in Crawford, where they had no staff, did things for themselves, and limited the number of security personal who had to accompany them. Whenever Laura Bush or Hillary Clinton went abroad, it was always for state business, not to lounge around on the beach in Spain, while Secret Service cleared said beach of all the other tourists in Spain for them to do so.

When Mrs. Bush traveled for recreation, she went to national parks ... thereby supporting not only the local economy but also bringing attention to our wonderful park system. She visited with school children and represented our President and our country well. ((nice examples here: Laura Bush urges support for national parks and Laura Bush stays on message)). Because of her love of national parks, Mrs. Bush was asked to be honorary chairwoman of the National Park Foundation. Compare that to President Obama, honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America, shunning the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts and their jamboree where 45,000 boy scouts received a pre-recorded video greeting from the President, who was too busy campaigning for Democratic candidates and appearing on The View to attend their celebration. Lack of consideration of others appears to be an ongoing theme of this Presidency.

These people simply do not get it. They are not royalty. They are servants to the people. President Obama was elected to lead, not so that he and his family could give parties and take expensive vacations on our dime. In normal economic circumstances this would be unacceptable, under the current financial crisis it is inexcusable. And they should both remember that in November and 2012 when voters loudly shout "off with their heads."

Lies & their derivatives

When did lying become the dominant political default position? That is followed with lying about the lie by calling it a misstatement or an oversight. Then it’s all ignored by the media and the entire country is expected to play this ignorance game as if we can’t see the lies staring us in the face.

This has become a systemic problem in this White House, beginning with the Stimulus Package.

The Stimulus Package has been a boondoggle. The economy has leveled out a little, but honestly it has been more in spite of the stimulus not because of it. The economy would have righted itself had it not been meddled with, but piling on debt from the stimulus looks like someone is doing something. It didn’t matter if it was the right thing.

The few jobs created came at a $500,000 each price tag. Few if any jobs were created in the private sector that is still hemorrhaging. Nothing about this Stimulus Pkg has done what was promised. Yet, the Obama administration keeps declaring victory by saying, “It could have been worse.” Really? No doubt that is true. However, this administration continues to claim superior intelligence and Nobel prizes know everything. Yet they seem to miss the fact that the 9.7% unemployment rate is not below 8%. Continuing to tell the American people “it could be worse” does not counteract the fact that they had no idea what they were doing and shoved this bill down the people’s throat and pretend it’s working. It’s not. IT IS A LIE.

Now, they’ve done it again with the new financial package that is supposed to prevent another bail out crisis. However, the leading banner-carrier for this legislation publicly stated that they won’t know if it works until we have another crisis. HUH? Talk about a circular argument. They have no idea what this financial package will do, who it will hurt, or what the collateral damage might be, yet they pat themselves on the back because their computer models tell them it will be great, even if it isn’t. IT IS A LIE.

Thus is the “logic” of the Obama Administration. Let’s try theories and computer models and inflict risky financial legislation onto American business and Americans. Then let’s watch to see what happens. I mean, they could look at our country’s history and previous economic woes and see that universally the one common thread that helped the economy recover has always been tax cuts. If you cut taxes there are more funds in Americans’ pockets to spend, which in turn creates jobs, which then produces more tax revenue. Taking money away from taxpayers prevents them from spending, causes unemployment, and ultimately causes serious economic problems. This happens every time taxes are raised. Every time. Yet they prefer to say government is the only way to save our economy. IT IS A LIE.

Let's move to health care. The debate droned on for almost a year. The key selling points to Democrats was that it would save money and reduce the debt and lower costs for American families. Low and behold, six months after the bill passed, the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) releases its updated figures. Not only will this program not save money, it will add to the deficit and substantially increase the costs to American families. Rather than re-examine the financial manipulation or even the practicality of this broad, damaging legislation, the Obama Administration pretends there is no difference, as if the financial damage to our country won't really occur. IT IS A LIE.

For a different kind of lie, just this week, Ken Salazar, former Colorado Senator and now the (completely inept) Secretary of the Interior, LIED and doctored reports on offshore drilling insisting that experts said drilling should be shut down. Said experts cried foul. They did not say that and, in fact, they said the opposite, that stopping drilling was not required and would damage the Gulf economy further. Salazar ignored that, the mainstream media ignored that, and President Obama ignored that, continuing to insist the drilling must be stopped according to experts. The drilling has now stopped and oil rigs are moving to other countries, further devastating the Gulf Coast economy. This is not a misstatement, miscalculation, or difference of interpretation. IT IS A LIE.

While we are on Salazar, last week, he defended pulling 77 oil lease contracts granted in the final days of the George W. Bush administration. Salazar's own inspector general concluded that there was no evidence of any rush to auction off the parcels -- as Salazar claimed. In fact, the leases were granted only after seven full years of rigorous study and debate. Leases have been pulled anyway. Again, this is not a misinterpretation. IT IS A LIE. This is a little thing, but in the U.S. struggle to be energy efficient and the continuing insistence by the Obama administration that they know more and know better than experts and the American people, this counts. A lot.

My favorite lie of the week has been over this Sherrod affair. Andrew Breitbart was set up. He was sent a doctored video and he went with it. His bad, he should have followed up and asked to see the entire video, but he didn’t, and neither did Fox News, the NAACP, or the Obama Administration. The interesting thing is that Fox News is being blamed for this woman’s dismissal. She was told on the phone to resign because she was going to be “on Glenn Beck” that night. Except that she wasn’t. LIE. Beck didn’t even talk about her. In fact, Beck’s first mention of her was the following day when he took her side and insisted the context should be examined before any steps were taken. The first Fox Report about her was Bill O’Reilly who has already apologized for not doing his own homework and checking the context. But O’Reilly’s report was at least an hour after Ms Sherrod had resigned. No one, no one on Fox mentioned Ms Sherrod until after she had resigned/was fired. So how could they be responsible for it? Of course, that isn’t stopping the NAACP, the Obama Administration, nor Ms Sherrod from accusing Fox of this fiasco. Again. IT IS A LIE.

This administration has become a joke of lies, manipulation (typically of its own party), and misdirection. All this discussion about racism and Ms Sherrod is ridiculous chatter usurping the news cycles and keeping Americans from focusing on the important stuff … unemployment, the economy and joblessness.

Need one more lie? Just a little one. Remember how President Obama insisted he “would not rest” until the Gulf oil spill was stopped and cleaned up? Then he went to play golf, and on three vacations, and singing with Paul McCartney at the White House (and a party there every Wednesday since). IT IS A LIE. But you already knew that.

Ann Coulter - Obama's numbers are down, imaginary racism is up

I love Ann Coulter. She's brash, direct, doesn't mince words, says what she thinks, mocks the ridiculous. Liberal political equivalents (Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann) are called journalists, she is called a bitch. You do the math.

Most of all, I like Coulter because she makes me laugh. She doesn't take herself, or anyone else, too seriously, and lays out her opinions and jibes like dishes at a church pot luck. I particularly like the first paragraph of her column today where she proudly and accurately proclaims:

The Democrats are depressed about their collapsing poll numbers, so it's time to start calling conservatives 'racist.'"

It does seem to work that way these days, doesn't it. think about it.

The "Journolist" scandal and how it influenced the election

Great article today on the deliberate, planned of attacks Sarah Palin during the election by members of the media. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the media supposed to be unbiased? Aren't they supposed to report the news and present the candidates, not "destroy" a candidate by attacking her and her Down Syndrome child?

These people are despicable human beings, but worse, they manipulated the voters of the United States to the point that some people still believe the ever-increasing stream of vitriol against a woman who is a political rock star. In every office she has held she has obliterated corruption and put the people back in charge. This is scary stuff for the liberal media. We can't have Americans thinking!

These kinds of attacks by the media are unacceptable and guided the tone and direction of the 2008 election. Does anyone really think that an inexperienced junior senator from Illinois (who never released any personal records whatsoever) would have been elected President over an experienced senator and war hero who chose a running mate that had a history of kicking corruption to the curb with every job she took? Hope & Change turns out to be Manipulation & Deception. How's that working out for ya?

It will be interesting to see how this scandal unfolds .... assuming someone besides Fox reports it. Each of these so-called journalists should be stripped of their job and any award they ever received.

When McCain picked Palin, liberal journalists coordinated the best line of attack, DailyCaller.com

Let's talk about deliberate deception, shall we?

Glenn Beck had a FASCINATING 5 minute video today, proving that the "Center for American Progress" is deliberately distorting the racist claims against the Tea Party. Watch and enjoy. Then feel free to discuss.

More on the "Post-Racial" President

Two excellent articles today on the racism issue .....

Thomas Sowell's Race Card Fraud and Dennis Prager's NAACP Confirms Election of a Black President Made No Difference. Both articles have good observations regarding the current situation in our country and how the Boy Who Cried Wolf-accusations of racism by the NAACP and other race-baiters have shot themselves in the foot. Americans are tired of it. We are tired of our own President showing racial preference (the Boston Police situation, the Justice Dept and now the Dept of Agriculture). We are tired of being accused of racism for disagreeing with President Obama's policies. We are tired of the race "industry" slamming whomever they wish with little to no actual evidence and them being taken seriously by the mainstream media. We are tired of their own racism being ignored, not reported, not investigate, and eventually overlooked.

Check out the articles. They are more than worth the time to read.

How to Solve the Immigration Mess

Bruce Bialosky has a brilliant column today on how to solve the immigration mess. Great, thoughtful ideas that will never, ever be implemented. Why? Because it involves allowing illegals to stay in the U.S. but not being allowed to vote. Ever. Do you know any Democratic representative who would support that kind of legislation? Isn't that kind of their purpose in supporting illegal immigration and amnesty programs? To get more voters?

Bialosky's first priority is, of course, the border must be secured. We all know this. Any comprehensive immigration reform will NOT work unless the border is first secured. The triple fence has clearly worked as indicated by the substantial decline in illegal immigration in Southern California. President Obama put a stop to its construction as soon as he took office. It's time to finish the darned thing!

Also on the list, ban anchor babies. There is nothing in the Constitution that supports giving citizenship to a baby born here to illegal parents. It's a ludicrous policy and no other country in the world does this. Why do we?

Here are Bialosky's other ideas regarding citizenship for those already illegally here. Give them a choice of going to the back of the immigration line or agree to the following:

1. They will become citizens in 10 years.
2. They will never be able to vote (remember that they came here illegally and have chosen to stay here in an extraordinary fashion, and thus have not earned the right to vote).
3. They must maintain both automobile and medical insurance, verified by the INS or a related agency.
4. They can receive no governmental benefits – no unemployment, no food stamps, no WIC, and no welfare. If they do not abide by these rules, they forfeit their right to stay here. They can participate in the Social Security and Medicare systems while they are earning their citizenship.

These are common sense measures that would allow those who are already here to work and benefit their families. It would eliminate abuse of our generous system and those who come here simply for the benefits.

An interesting idea, but as I said above, I don't see many liberals agreeing to it ... if any.

Entire article

More on fake racism accusations....

For the NAACP to call the Tea Party a bunch of “racists” is like Rosie O'Donnell complaining that Chelsea Handler is a bit flabby in the arms, sometimes snacks too much, is not as pretty without her makeup, and really isn’t all that funny.

So starts Doug Giles' weekend column, "Andrew Breitbart to NAACP's Ben Jealous: Go to Hell!" Yes, yes, I'm still talking about the NAACP, racism, and the NBPP's outrageous and blatant voter intimidation case. I might as well, no one but conservative talk show hosts & columnists, Fox News, and Breitbart are talking about it ... certainly you won't hear a peep from the so-called mainstream media.

Giles hits it on the head here, using sarcasm and snarkiness in an artful and effective way, pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the NAACP as well as the Obama Administration, Holder specifically. Giles is known for his edgy columns. He speaks clearly, plainly, and frequently antagonistically .... but he typically nails it.

If We the People do not stomp on these faux claims of racism, or at least publicly object to them, the NAACP, NBPP, and the Obama Administration will have us embroiled in a false race war within a year. The saddest part is that it's not only unnecessary and uncalled for, it's only a diversion tactic to focus Americans on something besides the bad economy, the increasing unemployment rate, and the complete failure of the Stimulus Package as well as the continuing run-away spending of our Congress and the President.

Don't fall for it.

Racism and our President

David Limbaugh published a very interesting article yesterday, "Obama: Not the 'Post-', but 'Most' Racial President." It was a fascinating list of the ways in which President Obama has set back the cause of race relations in our country rather than promote the harmony and joining together of Americans that he promised in the 2008 election. It's a very good article, and pretty enlightening to see specific things he has done gathered in one place. It's actually a little surprising we aren't in an all out race war from his irresponsibility in this matter.

Of course the same can be said about his political "harmony." It was clear early in his administration that President Obama's idea of bringing the parties together was for the opposing party to support him and do everything he says. This is one of those glaring examples of his inexperience in leadership. A good leader brings out the strengths of others, allows them to use their strengths and shine individually and as a group. A poor leader is all about himself, his causes, what he wants, his vacations, how he looks, and the heck with anyone else. His arrogance and self-importance appears to increase exponentially on a weekly basis, yet his reasons for pride are dwindling to the point his main accomplishment now appears to be simply that he's the first Black President ..... hardly a post-racial statement since it focused entirely on his race.

I keep reflecting on the 2008 primary speech that Hillary Clinton gave in Rhode Island ....

That still makes me laugh.

Interestingly enough most Americans want to see the races get along, Republicans and Democrats work together, and an end to hunger and want. Sadly we have a President who can best be described as a snake oil salesman ... he said lots of things on the campaign trail that promised he could help achieve these things, but ultimately the only promise he has kept has been to "fundamentally change" our country .... back to civil rights era anxiety, the systematic dismantling the most successful economic system in the world where citizens are allowed to keep the fruits of their labors, and blatant, open corruption that is usually only seen in Chicago.

"Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it." — Winston S. Churchill

Today we have a short, to the point, brilliant article from Walter E. Williams, A Failed Obama Hero. Clearly the Obama Administration needs to look at what actually happened during the Depression rather than what they choose to believe happen. The desire to believe in Fantasyland is charming in a child, embarrassing in an adult, and disastrous to the economic health of our country.

It's a very simple principle .... the government creates nothing (except bureaucracy and dependency, of course). Every dollar it spends must be taken away from a taxpayer or borrowed from China (or others). Dollars taken from taxpayers are removed from the marketplace and cannot be spent buying food, cars, vacations, etc. or investing in business, and therefore cannot create jobs.

It is insane to continue this myth that our government can spend us out of economic difficulty. Every new tax destroys jobs, which means less people paying taxes and ultimately less tax revenue. Every tax cut allows taxpayers to buy goods which creates jobs, which means more taxpayers and more tax revenue.

Roosevelt learned it the hard way. If President Obama considered Roosevelt to be one of his heroes, why is Obama not paying attention to the reality of what the continued fiscal irresponsibility of his administration and Congress will cause, as proven by Roosevelt & Hoover.... high(er) unemployment, jobs leaving the country (to a more business-friendly environment), lower tax revenues.

It really is that simple. Cut taxes, employment and tax revenue will increase. Raise taxes, employment and tax revenue will decrease. Which is a better solution for our country?

Al Franken is a Big, Fat Idiot...and a fraud

Eighteen months after his "election," there is evidence that Al Franken won because 341 convicted felons illegally voted for him. Most of us recognize that Franken is a political idiot. He never takes the mic that he doesn't insult a fellow Senator or embarrass himself (and the rest of America). He's a joke. A bad joke. But allowing convicted felons to vote? This is called voter fraud. Convicted felons are not allowed to vote. As Franken only won by 312 votes, those illegal felon votes made the difference in the outcome of this election and in the make-up of the Senate, as Franken's vote passed legislation that would not otherwise have passed.

"Prosecutors have to act more swiftly in prosecuting cases from the 2008 election to deter fraud in the future," he said, "and the state has to make sure that existing system, that flags convicted felons so voting officials can challenge them at the ballot, is effective. In 90 percent of the cases we looked at, the felons weren't flagged."

This is not an accident. As the evidence of widespread voter fraud from the 2008 election piles up, every American should be concerned and question what is going on. Because if this continues, we will never have another honest election in this country and our freedoms will gradually dwindle and die.

Voter fraud & intimidation in 2008 ... against Hillary Clinton

Now, I know what you're thinking, I'm off about how McCain lost when he shouldn't have. But, you're wrong. This is about the voter fraud and intimidation used against the supporters of Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primary. Ultimately this was fraud against all Americans, not just voters, not just Hillary supporters.

I remember being amazed that anyone could stop her. Hillary was on a roll and claiming victories all along the way. Of course the Obama camp had Sean Hannity and lots of other conservative talkers trying to "stop Hillary," but, seriously, did Hillary supporters or Democrats listen to any of that anyway? Hardly. Though I was no supporter of Clinton's myself in 2008, I do remember being surprised she did not prevail. She had enormous support, experience, political history, a voting record, and she was much loved by her constituents in New York. There was no great scandal to take the spotlight off of her and hand it to a little known junior senator in his first term. Obama had little experience, no publishable voting record, and other than being a good speaker and black (well, half black) he had no solid qualifications to be a Senator, much less President!

But he won ....

There were a few grumblings back then, but the media (even Fox) turned deaf ears. Occasionally questions have cropped up, mostly from blogs and voters who were given no explanation for how they were treated. And there was curiosity about how Obama managed this coup, particularly considering toward the end he was losing steam and Hillary was gaining steam. But once the DNC decided Obama should receive votes cast for Hillary as well as all the undecideds in Michigan (link), the writing was on the wall. I remember going ... HUH? How can the DNC just randomly give votes away? Then there were similar shenanigans in Florida, whose primary was clearly for Hillary, yet at the Convention voted for Obama (link). And then it was over. Obama won, Hillary didn't.

As I wasn't a supporter of either, I didn't really pay attention all that much other than to wonder what Hillary had done to lose. That was a big mistake. What happened during that primary was a clear indication to ALL Americans of just how corrupt this administration would be.

Now, slowly, the truth of what happened is coming out. There is a documentary in production by GiGi Gaston, called We Will Not Be Silent. Fox & Friends Weekend did a great piece on it this weekend and I expect other Fox programs will follow suit. No "mainstream"media source has said anything about this, nor have they mentioned the New Black Panther Party intimidation case being dropped nor have any videos of their leaders (which promote the killing of all whites including white babies) making vicious, racist statements. They are, of course, playing Mel Gibson's racist comments every half hour. (insert eye roll here)

Want more? Darragh Murphy from PUMApac has a great article, In case you didn't hear us the first time..... Below is just a sampling of this article, which breaks down some of the vile things Obama did in the 2008 campaign. After you've read it, ask yourself, if the DNC and Obama were willing to do this to someone in their own party, what prevents them from doing it in general elections (aka the Black Panther intimidation, etc) and to continue doing it. As Murphy says in another part of the article,"Barack Obama and his Movement will lie, cheat, and steal ti win elections. Literally."

But not only did Clinton receive more votes; she also received them in a climate of corruption, intimidation, and blatant favoritism practiced by the media and the party referees; the Dem party leadership and media honchos who had the hots for an obama presidency. In Nevada and Texas, the corruption and illegal activity by the obama campaign against Clinton voters at the polling places was so blatant and out of control that the Clinton Campaign officially registered a complaint with the DNC and requested an investigation into, among other things:

• Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.
• Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.
• Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.
• Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough.
• Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.
• Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.
• Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.
• Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.
• Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.
• Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.
• Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.
• Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus.
• Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.
