Disenfranchised by the GOP

“A share in the sovereignty of the state, which is exercised by the citizens at large, in voting at elections is one of the most important rights of the subject, and in a republic ought to stand foremost in the estimation of the law. “ Alexander Hamilton

It is the intent of this article to put the GOP and Reince Priebus on notice! From the very beginning of this primary season it has been obvious to many conservatives that the establishment and the media has been determined to make Mitt Romney the nominee of the Republican Party in the attempt to indeed make Obama a one term President. In doing so they have actually disenfranchised many of us who have yet to vote in our state’s primaries. Romney now the “presumptive nominee” will most likely result in lower voter turn out in states that have yet held their primary. Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Nebraska, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky and Texas hold their primaries in May. June has California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.

Sadly not everyone in those states are as politically active and rely on sound-bytes from their local news or via political commercials shown in their areas. With the recent hype surrounding Romney’s inevitable victory many may simply stay at home and not cast their votes for the candidates of their choice. Rumors on the social media site Twitter has it that Romney’s PAC is making robo calls in states declaring that certain candidates are no longer running. Suspending one’s campaign does not take them entirely out of the running. However, to the uninformed person this could simply make the person think why bother and stay at home. This folks is disenfranchising.

Recently I received a call from the RNC requesting a hundred dollars or more to defeat Obama, the caller reading no doubt from a script made the argument that Obama has a billion dollars at his disposal to campaign against our nominee. I had the caller stuttering when I denounced his claim and called his bluff by saying that was mere spin and that Obama did not have the billion dollars that has been speculated.

I am well aware that it is imperative we unseat the current occupier-in-chief from office, however, it is disingenuous of the GOP to thwart our rights as Americans to express ourselves and have our votes count. The saving grace for those of us that feel disenfranchised by the GOP is two fold; one we can show our discontent by sitting on our wallets and two we can hold them accountable if in fact Romney fails and we are left with four more years of the tyranny we experienced. Recently I read Screw the GOP, They Don’t Seem to Want My Vote Anyway I am not a Johnson supporter, nor do I know a lot about the man but the sentiment of the article I do share.

Romney is just the last straw for me. I can’t really say for certain what I agree with him on or exactly how he differs from how Obama has been governing (as George Soros said, “If it’s between Obama and Romney, there isn’t all that much difference except for the crowd that they bring with them”)

 

When the Media is Absent, We The People Will Remember Our Troops

Today being Monday I thought I’d renew a tradition I had started a few years ago. As most of you on Twitter knows on Monday we pay special tribute to our men and women serving our country in various branches of our Military. I received an email yesterday that rekindled my desire for another tribute to our troops. It spoke volumes of how as we as a society have digressed. I ask each of you that reads the names of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice; that you remember them and their families in your thoughts and prayers…The email:

GOD BLESS AMERICA With regret…

Tea Party co-opted? ….Newt Gingrich For President

Part of why the Tea Party so deeply threatened the elite media is the tea party looked around and suddenly realized, there are more of us than there are of them.Gingrich

Do you remember the Tea Party? I do..we rallied around the concept of smaller government, less taxes, less intrusion of the government in our daily lives. We met in cities from coast to coast…north, south, east and west to have our voices heard at the local level; a grassroots movement had arisen. We became vocal, holding our candidates, elected officials accountable. With social sites such as Twitter and Facebook we bantered together and marched on Washington in September of 2009 showing our unity, our cause, our strengths as the “New Age Patriots.”

However, today as we are trying to rectify the wrongs of the Obama administration it seems as though we’ve become somewhat disengaged from our initial intent. We have Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich all vying for the nomination of the Republican Party for President, each one claiming to be the “true conservative” to represent us. But I have to wonder if we are so desperate to replace Obama that we are willing to put aside our conservative values and choose one who is least conservative as is Romney with his history of flip flops on many issues we face today. It is the elite media and the establishment within the Republican party that has shoved Romney upon us. If he truly was resonating with the people he would have far larger the support than he does but still after spending millions of dollars he has yet to grasp the support of many conservatives. Many doubt his ability to stand up against Obama who will have far greater resources at hand to go toe to toe with him. Recently Newt Gingrich on Face the Nation spoke of the breathtaking scale of dishonesty why Romney hasn’t won. [h/t The rightscoop ]

One has to wonder why those who are migrating towards Romney and claim to be connected with the Tea Party could overlook his governing record:

Defining mistake: supported abortion law despite opposing it. (Aug 2007)
Would welcome overturning Roe v. Wade. (Mar 2007)
Committed to not change law on abortion as Gov., and did not. (Mar 2007)
Opposes Roe v Wade, but won’t tamper with abortion laws. (Dec 2006)
Vetoed emergency contraception for rape victims. (Jul 2005)
Vetoed stem cell research bill. (May 2005)
Endorsed legalization of RU-486. (Mar 2002)

Rick Santorum is claiming he is the true conservative in this race as well but he too, has a problem with spending. Big spending! He is actually proud of his earmarks. “Politics is a team sport folks.” He endorsed Arlen Specter who was the deciding vote on Obama’s disastrous health care reform. Not only did he endorse but he sent money as well, to the tune of $5,000 but the money was returned after Specter switched parties. But clearly one has to wonder where his conservative heart was in this decision. We’ve heard Santorum’s hard stance on public sector unions but his record reveals otherwise:

1. On June 15th1993, Rick Santorum voted for Cesar Chavez Workplace Fairness Act (HR 5) which prohibits employers from hiring permanent replacements when employees strike over wages or benefits.
2. In the 104th Congress Sen. Santorum joined all Democrats and a minority of Republicans in voting to filibuster the bill S. 1788, the National Right to Work Act of 1995. (“On the Cloture Motion (motion to invoke cloture on motion to proceed to consider S.1788),” Senate Bill Clerk, Vote Number: 188, www.senate.gov, 7/10/1996)
3. During that same congressional session, Santorum also voted to retain the 1930s-era Davis-Bacon Act that forces taxpayers to pay union wages in government-funded construction and gives Big Labor an unfair advantage over non-union companies and workers (“On the Motion to Table (motion to table Kennedy Amendment No. 4031 to S.Amdt. 4000 to S.Con.Res. 57),” Senate Bill Clerk, Vote Number: 134, www.senate.gov, 5/22/1996)
4. He also voted against allowing a waiver of Davis-Bacon in emergency situations.
5. Has flipped flopped on his positions regarding unions. He routinely supported them but then abandoned them as soon as he started running for President.
6. He also voted for Alexis Herman in which she was appointed by Bill Clinton to be Secretary of Labor.
7. He voted for a law to require a union representative on an IRS oversight board and also voted to exempt IRS union representative from criminal ethics laws. He also voted against creating independent Board of Governors to investigate IRS abuses.
8. He voted twice for the Teamwork for Employees and Managers Act of 1995 (HR 743 & S Amdt 4438) which amends the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 to allow employers to form labor-management cooperative organizations with employees without the presence of a union.
9. He also voted twice for the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 which would have forced Fedex to accept local unions (H.R. 3539)

Does this sound like someone who really is in line with the Tea Party? One article that I read while writing this post seemed to think that a Santorum Presidency would crash and burn the Tea Party stating:

The most remarkable thing of all about the Republican’s “anointed one”, is his strange ideas of fiscal responsibility and tax reform. According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, Santorum’s proposals would actually exacerbate the very deficits that he so vociferously decries. It is estimated that $1.5 trillion would be added to the national debt after Santorum’s third year in office. This is a very poor proposition by any standard. In essence, the nomination of Rick Santorum as Republican standard bearer in 2012 will most likely result in the final demise of the “Tea Party’s” influence on American politics. This may be the only good news that the elections of 2012 will bring for the majority of the moderate thinking, Republican base.

I have laid out to you why I feel Newt Gingrich is the one who is most credible and worthy of the office of the President. I made the claim that Newt The Logical Most Responsible Choice 2012 and that Newt…Bold Ideas..Strong Leadership…One That is Proven.. Now let me share with you Newt’s credentials:

As a congressman, Gingrich was a Reagan Coalition member and Reagan Revolution fighter. As Speaker, he led the Republicans to their first House majority in over 40 years and the GOP finally broke the New Deal coalition that had dominated American politics for more than a half-century, moving policy substantially to the right for our nation. We all benefited as a result. This Reagan, Gingrich, Republican majority-aligned coalition also directly led to the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union.

As Speaker, he allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right and led his new Republican majority (the Republican Revolution) to pass the Contract with America, cut the deficit, cut taxes, reformed welfare, blocked Clinton’s agenda including HillaryCare, balanced the budget four years running, and extended the great, long-standing Reagan economy throughout the nineties. By comparison, Romney, a one-term MA Governor, vehemently denied Reagan; aligned himself with Ted Kennedy; and lost the most legislative seats for Republicans in MA since the Civil War.

Gingrich’s pro-life voting record is sterling at 98.6%, 70 out of 71 votes, and twice helped pass the end of partial-birth abortion in Congress, before Clinton vetoed it; a true encouragement for anyone who cares about babies being protected in the womb. His lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union rings in at 90%. And the National Taxpayers Union’s Annual Scorecard on reduced spending and taxes gave Gingrich an “A”, for his last four years in office, ranking him #1, #4, #2 and #11 and as one of the most conservative members in Congress for the Republican party.

Of all candidates, Gingrich’s record “stands alone” in his policy achievements and successful leadership portfolio. During his Speakership, a blistering 11 million jobs were created (nearly 3 million per year), $400 billion in debt was paid off, 60% of welfare rolls were reduced, and taxes were cut for the first time in sixteen years – including the largest capital gains tax in history. That’s an immovable fact. Taken together, as a Reagan conservative, Gingrich has already proven his high office credentials as U.S. House speaker.

Gingrich’s 21st Century nine-point “Jobs and Prosperity Plan” borrows a page from Reagan’s 1980 economic platform. It is not just Reaganesque, it is Reaganomics, cryogenically frozen in 1981, thawed 30 years later, and pumped full of Newt-style steroids in order to save the American people from our nations slow systemic job growth. The pro-growth, pro-job, economic recovery plan features massive tax cuts, less government spending (through privatization of entitlement programs), interest-rate hikes, and rampant deregulation.

Gingrich, who blames excessive regulation for the 2008 financial crisis, also wants to advance Reaganomics by repealing the Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley laws governing the financial sector. He would reorient the Federal Reserve entirely toward taming inflation, axing the pursuit of full employment from its congressional mandate. He would cut spending by fundamentally restructuring safety-net programs, turning Medicaid into block grants to states and allowing Americans to opt into privatized accounts for Medicare and Social Security, eventually phasing out payroll taxes in the process.

The foundation is classic supply-side, trickle-down, Laffer-curve economics, which Gingrich’s economic advisers predict will unleash a Reagan-like boom that will eventually generate enough tax revenue to balance the federal budget. Gingrich calls for a Balanced Budget Amendment; and would move to zero-based budgeting, where every dollar must be justified domestically and in foreign aid; and his plan outlines how he’ll cut government waste, inefficiency and duplication all across the board. Notably, anyone planning to introduce ‘Lean Six Sigma’ into government is serious about slicing the bureaucracy.

Finally, no other candidate has listed a Day One Plan. As part of his 21st Century Contract with America, Gingrich has pledged to issue a series of Executive Orders to create jobs and help undo the damage of the Obama administration on the first day of his administration. Altogether, one could reasonably expect a President Gingrich to lead America in a pro-growth, limited government direction who understands the significance of the founding principle that we were created equal by our Creator (God) and endowed with certain unalienable rights.

[ h/t @KLSouth ]

This morning while listening to Newt speak I was moved by message he conveyed to a large crowd before him.

“Callista and I didn’t come here today to ask you to help us we came to ask you to help America”

Let’s help America by sending the one man who can stand up against Obama, one with the intellect, the strength and the fortitude to restore America once again to the oval office. That folks is why I am … #withNewt

Newt The Logical Most Responsible Choice 2012

“I believe we are now in a struggle over whether or not we are going to save America.”

This has been an ongoing message relayed by Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, a message that everyone should take heed. However, the media and with their deliberate bias against Gingrich continue to underestimate him. This morning on Fox and Friends I was appalled how they spoke of the recent Arizona debate. Touting Romney as the winner, with Santorum coming in second and with little to no mention of Newt. Hey Steve, Gretchen and Brian…just what debate did you watch?? What I saw in the debate were two who went at each other like school boys out on the playground. It was Newt who focused on the issues we face such as the energy crises we face; it was Newt who called out John King when the question arose once again about contraception how the media in 2008 never once questioned Obama regarding his vote to support infanticide and partial birth abortions. It wasn’t Romney who claims to be the businessman with such a great “conservative record” who focused on the energy crises nor was it Santorum who is so passionate about the sanctity of life that made mention of Obama’s egregious support of this barbaric procedures that end life. NO, it was Newt, the man with bold plans, a proven record of being an effective leader. I do believe it was Eric Erickson who said it best when he wrote that “Newt was the adult in the room.”

Just days after the Arizona debate Politico reported:

that during Wednesday night’s debate in Phoenix, the #1 increase in Google Search candidate keywords in Arizona was Newt Gingrich, with a 120% increase. Rick Santorum and Ron Paul each got a 50% bounce, while Mitt Romney only showed a 5% increase.

Ditto candidate search trends Nationally, with Gingrich enjoying an 84% bump, Santorum with 50%, Paul with 30% and Romney again pulling up the rear with 25%.

Once more the media fails to realize that we have woken up, no longer are we going to be dictated by them or the establishment which candidate to support. The tea party movement and this is my opinion has been co-opted in many ways and frankly I don’t understand their support of Romney given his moderate, left leaning tendencies. His record alone as Governor proves this. Throw in his many flip flops of the issues and it’s clear that he is pandering to who ever will subscribe to his rhetoric.

It’s clearly evident that Newt has bold ideas..ready to tackle day one the many issues facing this country due to the poor inept leadership by the “occupier-in-chief.” With gas being in the limelight as the prices begin to skyrocket, let’s review for a moment Newt’s American energy plan:

1. Remove bureaucratic and legal obstacles to responsible oil and natural gas development in the United States, offshore and on land.
2. End the ban on oil shale development in the American West, where we have three times the amount of oil as Saudi Arabia.
3. Give coastal states federal royalty revenue sharing to give them an incentive to allow offshore development.
4. Reduce frivolous lawsuits that hold up energy production by enacting loser pays laws to force the losers in an environmental lawsuit to pay all legal costs for the other side.
5. Finance cleaner energy research and projects with new oil and gas royalties.
6. Replace the Environmental Protection Agency, which has become a job-killing regulatory engine of higher energy prices, with an Environmental Solutions Agency that would use incentives and work cooperatively with local government and industry to achieve better environmental outcomes while considering the impact of federal environmental policies on job creation and the cost of energy.

Jobs is another issue that remains on the minds of many Americans. Newt is correct when he states; “America only works when Americans are working.” Let’s look at The Gingrich Jobs and Growth Plan:

1. Stop the 2013 tax increases to promote stability in the economy. Job creation improved after Congress extended tax relief for two years in December. We should make the rates permanent.
2. Make the United States the most desirable location for new business investment through a bold series of tax cuts, including: Eliminating the capital gains tax to make American entrepreneurs more competitive against those in other countries; Dramatically reducing the corporate income tax (among highest in the world) to 12.5%; Allowing for 100% expensing of new equipment to spur innovation and American manufacturing; Ending the death tax permanently.
3. Move toward an optional flat tax of 15% that would allow Americans the freedom to choose to file their taxes on a postcard, saving hundreds of billions in unnecessary costs each year. This optional flat tax system will preserve deductions on charitable giving and home ownership, and create a new personal deduction of $12,000 for every American. This deduction is well above the current poverty level, ensuring that this new system does not unfairly target the poor.
4. Strengthen the dollar by returning to the Reagan-era monetary policies that stopped runaway inflation and reforming the Federal Reserve to promote transparency.
5. Remove obstacles to job creation imposed by destructive and ineffective regulations, programs and bureaucracies. Steps include: Repealing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which did nothing to prevent the financial crisis and is holding companies back from making new investments in the U.S; Repealing the Community Reinvestment Act, the abuse of which helped cause the financial crisis; Repealing the Dodd-Frank Law which is killing small independent banks, crippling loans to small businesses and crippling home sales; Breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, moving their smaller successors off government guarantees and into the free market; Replacing the Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Solutions Agency that works collaboratively with local government and industry to achieve better results; and Modernizing the Food and Drug Administration to get lifesaving medicines and technologies to patients faster.
6. Implement an American energy policy that removes obstacles to responsible energy development and creates jobs in the United States.
7. Balance the budget by growing the economy, controlling spending, implementing money saving reforms, and replacing destructive policies and regulatory agencies with new approaches.
8. Repeal and replace Obamacare with a pro-jobs, pro-responsibility health plan that puts doctors and patients in charge of health decisions instead of bureaucrats.
9. Fundamental reform of entitlement programs with the advice and help of the American people. Read an extended white paper on this here.

I challenge all of my readers to visit Newt2012 do your homework, study the plans as Newt puts them forth. He is a proven leader, one who has the best ability to take on Obama come November. It is Newt that can once again make America’s beacon shine ever so brightly for freedoms, justice and liberty for all. I challenge you to donate what you can whether it be with cash or your time. As Newt so frequently has stated This is the most crucial elections of our lifetime.

Newt…Bold Ideas..Strong Leadership…One That is Proven..

“If you’re not brave, you’re not going to be free.”

The year was 1994 and Newt Gingrich, with his Contract for America led the Republican Party to a resounding victory by capturing the majority in the United States House of Representatives… a feat that hadn’t been done in forty years! Dare I say Bold… His leadership abilities attributed to Congress passing a balanced budget re-paying $400 billion in debt. It was Newt who brought us welfare reform, enabling people to get off welfare and find work or return to school and who restored the funding to build up our military and enhance our intelligence. To which after the events of 9-11 became very useful. I find the quote by Time magazine in 1995 to be relevant today…

“Leaders make things possible. Exceptional leaders make them inevitable. Newt Gingrich belongs in the category of the exceptional.

Today in 2012 Newt continues to display strong leadership, one who is embolden with bold ideas to restore America to once again resemble the America that Reagan so loved and to make her beacon shine ever so bright for freedom, liberty and justice for all.

I am dismayed by the way in which the Speaker has been treated, not only by those within the establishment of the GOP but by the so called political pundits who are clearly motivated by making names for themselves with little regard to how the American people feel. We have seen the same biased reporting from the media as well. They have been resilient in shoving Mitt Romney down our throats…supporting one who is more moderate with left leaning tendencies than one who has proven to be a leader. Now their spot light is on Rick Santorum, elevating him to sainthood … We have a proven leader in Newt Gingrich…but apparently we didn’t learn our lesson in 2008. We can’t afford a repeat performance and must ensure that we get a true, proven conservative or we face the uncertainty we face today to linger for yet another four years..Are you sure we can afford that?

Newt now has moved his Contract with America to the 21st century proposing:

A set of legislative proposals to shift America back to job creation, prosperity, freedom, and safety.
A “Day One Plan” of Executive Orders to be signed on inauguration day to immediately transform the way the executive branch works.
A training program for the transition teams and the appointees who will lead the shift back to Constitutional, limited government (coming soon);
A system of citizen involvement to help us sustain grassroots support for change and help implement the change through 2021

Have NO fear..Newt is here to stay…He WILL lead us back to posterity ..I am #withNewt..hope you join him too!

In Support Of Newt!!!

It’s official, the Patriotic Nurse is endorsing Newt Gingrich for President! I feel he is the only one that is capable to take on Obama and defeat him in the general election. Newt often says that he doesn’t want us to be for him but that he wants us to be with him… I am more than with him, if you are on twitter and following me or a friend on Facebook then you know that I have been using the tag #withNewt often. To show my support I have also created a bumper sticker to sell and ALL proceeds will go directly to his campaign.

So if you are with Newt be sure and purchase one now!!!


The Mad Hatter Goes To Washington

“Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him.”

History has a way of repeating itself, we’ve all seen it. France during the 1780′s was ruled by King Louie XVI, he too inherited massive debt and like Obama was unable to solve them. They lived a lifestyle unlike the people of France. King Louie XVI was married to Marie Antoinette who like Michelle Obama was viewed by the people of France as being extravagant and as a symbol of royal excess. Fast forward to 2009 and a similar situation was occurring here in America.

Our economy in shambles and the people are struggling to make ends meet. Unemployment continues to face many in our nation and the ability to find jobs is dire. It is important to remind you that Obama  campaigned not only about bringing hope and change to America but offered “transparency” of his administration, a promise that has yet come to fruition.

The recent release of Jodi Kantor’s book “The Obamas” is evidence of how transparency has blatantly been hid from the average American. Average meaning you and myself. The event hosted by Hollywood’s Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton was complete with a room within the White House transformed into a scene from Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.” The event was attended by many of the Hollywood elite who as Dana Perino poignantly pointed out was hush hush when it came to the event. Perino was also correct when she referenced how the Hollywood elite takes full advantage of the media when it comes to getting media attention; their pictures are all over the tabloids when they go out on the town attending one event or another or simply showing up at Starbucks…you get my point. However, this time they were mute.

The only good observation I can make regarding this event was that the children of our military were invited. They were greeted by Michelle Obama dressed in a leopard costume. Earlier that Halloween the White House held parties for the school children of the D.C. area and those events “were” covered by the media. Erin Carlson points out

“White House officials were so nervous about how a splashy, Hollywood-esque party would look to jobless Americans — or their representatives in Congress, who would soon vote on health care — that the event was not discussed publicly and Burton’s and Depp’s contributions went unacknowledged,” according to an excerpt of Kantor’s book in the Post.

This administration obviously isn’t as nervous now as they continue to live their extravagant lifestyle at the expense of the tax payer. The many vacations, trips to Africa, times spent in Hawaii and the multitude of golfing the President does is more proof of just how out of touch they are with Americans today. His blatant disregard to our Constitution is not only egregious but is more proof of the change he really wants to bring. Luckily for Obama, he nor his dear wife will face the same treatment as that of King Louie XVI and his wife by being beheaded by the guillotine. They will however, be held accountable by Americans today as we head to the polls to vote in yet another Presidential election. Are we really going to accept his socialist ideology or are we going to send a clear and concise message that we’ve had enough and that WE THE PEOPLE are going to take this country back and by the grace of God will once again make America the greatest nation in the world. It’s up to you, the reader, to find a candidate that mirrors your values, hopes and dreams for America to be the shining city on a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.

Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) First Three Years of Failures

Remember these on Election Day 2012

Our Republic has accumulated a National Debt at a rate 27 times as fast as during the rest of our Nation’s entire history, as the Obama’s plan their next extravagant vacation.

BHO wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism & individual freedoms for one where “we the people” are government controlled. This would be a system that rewards mediocrity, steals personal aspiration, opportunity, & punishes those who strive to succeed.

A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated was $1.79 on average in the USA. Today that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase. The number of food stamp recipients has risen since Obama took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump. Long term unemployment soared 146.2% during the same 32 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000.

American citizens living in poverty have risen 9.5% from 39,800,000 to 43,600,000 &the number of unemployed has jumped almost 25% from 11,616,000 to 14,485,000 as of August 31, 2011.

The number of unemployed blacks has risen from 12.6% at the end of President George W. Bush term to 15.8% today, a 25.4% increase, & finally, our National Debt is up 34.4% from 10,627 Trillion to 15,703,744,000,000 Trillion & counting (http://www.currentusanationaldebt.com/),

BHO is the first in all of the following:

Elected illegally,

That admits he is a Muslim,

That says he will side with Muslims when they come into rule,

To abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters,

To apply for & receive college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner,

To appoint 45 Czars paid for by tax-payers to replace elected officials,

To arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional & refuse to enforce it,

To be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico,

To by-pass Congress & implement the Dream Act by Executive Order,

To coddle American enemies while alienating America’s allies,

To defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law,

To demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees,

To encourage racial discrimination & intimidation at polling places,

To file lawsuits against AZ, WI, OH, & IN, states he swore an oath to protect,

To fire an Inspector General of AmeriCorps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case,

To go on 18 vacations, including date nights & Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends, paid for by taxpayers,

To go on multiple global apology tours,

To have 26 personal servants for his wife paid for by tax-payers,

To have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present,

To have a social security number from a state he has never lived in,

To hide his medical, educational & travel records from the American public,

To hold the holy Qur’an as valuable & the Holy Bible as worthless,

To keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000.00 a year at taxpayer expense,

To order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the USA, including those with criminal convictions,

To play golf 90 times in his first three years in office,

To preside over a credit rating cut of the USA,

To publicly bow to the Muslim Saudi king & kissed the dictator ring while refusing to salute ‘Old Glory’,

To refuse to show a valid birth certificate,

To refuse to wear the USA Flag lapel pin,

To repeat “the Holy Qur’an tells us,” & openly admit “the early morning call of the Azan Islamic call to worship is the most beautiful sound on earth,”

To require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party,

To spend a Trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs & later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs,

To tell a major manufacturing company in which state they are allowed to locate a factory,

To terminate Americas ability to put a man in space,

To threaten insurance companies if they publicly speak-out on the reasons for their rate increases,

To violate the War Powers Act,

To win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing to earn it,

To withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago,

& who claims to be a Christian but, denies Israel’s existence.

“For God and country — Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo.”
— The unidentified member of Seal Team 6 who killed Osama bin Laden, May 1

It is no doubt that most people are glad to see this year finally come to a close. Many have referred to this year as resembling days of yesteryear when as a nation we were faced with a floundering economy. A World War was brewing and people across this nation and the world were struggling. Fast forward to 2011 and we see the same situations, the same headlines. Only the players and their names have changed.

At midnight we bring in 2012. It’s been a long time that as a nation we have faced so much uncertainty. Our economy continues to flounder, declining housing markets and no light at the end of the proverbial tunnel when it comes to jobs and the creation for more.

We are a nation divided. Our political system is disheveled with a President that is out of touch with the American people and a Congress with the lowest approval rating (5%) in modern history. So when the Waterford crystal ball falls in New York come midnight these problems don’t go away.

2012 we must commit ourselves to stand up to the tyranny we face from our government and protect America; reminiscent of the struggles our founding father’s faced as they too fought tyranny from abroad as opposed to fighting it from within as we are today.

In 2008 Obama campaigned on “Hope and Change”…Change was delivered but he fell short in providing hope. The change that we saw was anything but positive. 2012 isn’t going to be easy, we are going to have to channel the spirits of our founding fathers to take back this nation and protect and defend our constitution or our future generations will only read in history books how we failed. This cannot be our legacy that we leave behind.

Happy New Year

Psalm 2011

A parody of the Obama Administration that is so relevant today. I can’t take credit for this but apparently somewhere within the United States there is a “Leonora” that sent this out via email and it happen to end up in my inbox! Enjoy!!!

Obama Is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me Beside the still factories.

He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment
For his party’s sake.

Yea, Though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.

He has Anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.

Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

“Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8″.

Psalm 109:8 ~ “Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him.”
