Brett Kimberlin: Liberal Activist and Domestic Terrorist

Happy Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day!

First a little background on this guy, courtesy of Lee Stranahan:

The radical left is full of kooks and weirdos, so why am I bothering to write about this nut?  Simple.  Kimberlin uses the legal system to harass anyone who tells the truth about him.  Intimidation and attempts to silence the opposition are hallmarks of leftist activism, but when you require an entire family to move to an “undisclosed location” because you are a threat to their security, you’ve crossed a line.

Kimberlin urged the state of Maryland to file criminal charges against James O’Keefe III, President of Project Veritas and the late Andrew Breitbart. He tried to frame Aaron Walker for a crime he didn’t commit.  Fearing their office would be Kimberlin’s next target, Walker and his wife were both released from their employment. And this barely scratches the surface.  This man is dangerous.

Researching this guy takes you through a whacked out, and incredibly surreal worm hole of lies, distortion, death, intimidation, the radical liberal underground, bombs – the works.

As The Blaze described him:

Drug dealer, alleged child molester, and convicted perjurer, forger and Indiana Speedway Bomber (who is also believed to have played a role in the assassination of a grandmother), Brett Kimberlin spent 17 years in prison before his ultimate re-absorption into American society.

Mandy Nagy (also a target of Kimberlin’s legal attacks) wrote a fantastically comprehensive piece here detailing the Velvet Revolution and Kimberlin’s criminal past.  Michelle Malkin’s take is here (her post is linkalicious).  Brandon Darby, Lee Stranahan, Mandy Nagy and Aaron Walker discuss the perjuring terrorist here (a GREAT listen).

You can help those targeted by Kimberlin here.

Dwelling in the bowels of the radical left, Kimberlin uses violent intimidation to silence people who tell the truth.  As Andrew Breitbart said,  ”It is no longer a choice to fight; I am compelled to fight.”  On behalf of my friends, my colleagues, justice and truth, my message to Kimberlin is simple: we will not be intimidated.

Of new endeavors and grateful hearts

The past ten months have been one wild ride. If anyone had told me this time last year that I would be pursuing a life in the political arena and in particular as an advocate of truth and justice (sounds cheesy I know, but someone has to do it), I would have laughed them out of my tastefully decorated apartment. But sometimes life calls you to places you didn’t even see on the map. In my case, I’m incredibly thankful. Thankful that despite myself and my fabulous intentions, life has a better course for me.

Part of my journey includes a new endeavor. FreedomWorks has given me the opportunity to cover crucial races in this dire election. I’m among great company and incredibly humbled and thankful for everything before me. So, should you be interested in hot seats and the latest in our legislative staffing endeavors, be sure to check out FreedomWorks. Of course I’ll continue to post my sporadic (but spot on) musings here as time, sanity and the effectiveness of caffeine permit.

If you’re not one of those that leave explicative laden comments, then I thank you for taking the time to read what I have to write. I also appreciate your support — you rock. But you better hang on, I’m just getting started.

Boehner cites “Obama gap” in energy policy

Speaker Boehner tackled the hypocrisy of President Obama’s rhetoric versus action in energy policy saying,  ”There’s a big gap between what the president promises and what he talks about, and the actions that he’s taking.  And I think honest, hard-working taxpayers deserve actions that match the words.“

Today Mr. Obama is in Oklahoma attempting to drum up support for half of a pipeline – yes, half.  Mr. Obama personally lobbied against and subsequently blocked approval of the Keystone pipeline that would’ve created more than 20,000 jobs (directly and indirectly) by most estimates,  stimulated local economies and lowered the price of fuel. Not coincidentally, the Keystone pipeline would’ve run through all red states.

Speaker Boehner had this to say:

And finally, Mr. Obama, in his own words circa 2008 (hint: he has no desire to see gas prices decrease; comments substantiated by his backtracking Secretary of Energy, Mr. Chu.):

As of today, the average price of gas (nationally) is $4.32 per gallon.

The Trouble With Santorum

Image from newsophile.com

At this point in the Republican primary, Rick Santorum is the only substantial “not Mitt” left in the running. With Gingrich falling behind Paul in the Illinois primary, it’s safe to say that Newt’s campaign has run it’s course. Delegate count being a factor, there’s no way Gingrich or Paul can feasibly win the nomination.

It’s been interesting to watch the migration of supporters from Palin (once she decided not to run), to Cain. Then from Cain to Gingrich, then from Gingrich to Santorum. Even more surprising is the Tea Party support of Santorum, particularly since Santorum, by his own admission, has qualms with the Tea Party movement as seen here (after his soliloquy on the virtues of government intervention):

We are a people that believes that government has a role to play: federal government has a role to play, state government has a role to play and local government has a role to play; and when there are clear wrongs in society, when there are injustices in society, sure you handle it at the local level if you can, but when the local and state level are in cahoots with the injustice, then the federal government has to step in and do something; … but as I’ve said before, I have some real concerns about this movement within the Republican Party and the Tea Party Movement to sort of refashion conservatism and I will vocally and publicly oppose it and do my best to correct the record.

And then there’s the issue of our friends, the Libertarians. Santorum said,

I am not a Libertarian and I fight very strongly against Libertarian influence within the Republican party and the conservative movement.  I don’t think the libertarians have it right when it comes to what the Constitution is all about. I don’t think they have it right as to what our history is and we are not a group of people that believes in no government.

And Santorum on smaller government? Goldwater Conservatism? Meh…

To our credit, Republicans have sort of morphed away from the Goldwater idea that government needs to be smaller, it needs to do less, it needs to be doing nothing except what it’s core functions are to a party by and large, and there are elements still left by the way, in the party like that, to a party that by and large says, look, we need to restructure the way we do programs or the way government functions to create the kind of incentives or create the kind of help and programs that give that power to folks closer to the people or to family or to the individual themselves.

And to disspel any concern that the above listed were merely isolated incidents, there’s also this - the big one, the queen mother of them all:

One of the criticisms I make to what I refer to as a more Libertarianish right.  They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do.  Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional Conservatives view the world.  There is no society that I”m aware of where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.

Less government?? Individual freedom?? No government in the bedroom?? Pssh… that’s just crazy talk.  Limited government, individual freedom and the ability to make choices without government intervention are the cornerstones of conservatism.  Santorum, for whatever reason, chooses to characterize these “radical” ideals as libertarian, which is not inaccurate, but to act as though they are not conservative values is dishonest. Furthermore, it begs the question as to what conservatism means to Rick Santorum.  If your only solution to societal ails is more government – you’re doing it wrong. And it’s precisely this notion that makes Rick Santorum, well, troubling.

Occupy Unmasked

 

The crew at Citizens United created another awesome documentary exposing the left. This time they’ve tackled the Occupy movement.  Take a look:

Contrary to public opinion, Occupy is not just a bunch of hippies and out of work college grads with nothing better to do than camp in public parks. Occupy is a concerted, well organized movement from the bowels of the radical left.

With the help of high power players (including an endorsement from President Obama) and the lap dog media, Occupy gained national and even global prominence.  The “movement” received overwhelming support from the left.  Occupy atrocities (rape, death, antisemitism, destruction, disease, etc.) were hidden and ignored by the media — the same media that worked diligently to smear the Tea Party as an unruly band of racist insurgents.

Add this film to the “must watch” list, not only to see the truth behind the Occupy movement but to gain a better understanding of how the left operates, their current social agenda and the measures they are willing to take (and are taking) to destroy the fundamental principles of this country.

Occupy Unmasked is set to release this spring.

Yes, there is a war on women…

…and it’s been waged by the left. 

The latest liberal meme suggests the GOP is up to its usual antics – repressing women and trying to steal their hard earned rights.  Listening to left, you’d think the GOP was trying to abolish the 19th amendment.  But this whole “war on women” revolves around one thing – what the government will subsidize.

Rather than focus on actual women’s issues, the left single-handedly put the feminist movement in reverse, and floored it. Somehow women’s issues no longer include income equality, equality of opportunity, intellectual respect etc. etc. etc. No, no. Now every woman (we’re told) should be in a tizzy about the government’s opinion of their uterus.

MoveOn.org compiled a list of the 10 most “shocking attacks from the GOP” in this fictitious War on Women. Six of the ten deal specifically with “reproductive rights“ while the remaining four deal with government assistance.  Even Stopthewaronwomen.com addresses one issue – abortion, and invites site visitors to assist in stopping the attacks on Planned Parenthood. Yes.  That’s the war, government funding of “women’s health.”  And take a look at Move On‘s latest attempt to frame The War:

When did feminism morph into a government subsidy free for all? I’m sure the women who chained themselves to street lamps and suffered through hunger strikes for women’s suffrage would be thrilled to know the idyllic modern feminists is one who begs Congress for “free” birth control.

Of course the self-professed feminists of today will tell you feminism is in decline thanks to the GOP’s efforts to squash reproductive rights, then run off to join their gal pals in a Slutwalk. No longer is feminism (at least the left’s perverted version of it) about independent and intellectually liberated women, it’s about government subsidized sex.

While the conservative movement looks at strong, trailblazing women as role models and inspiration of what women can accomplish, to the left we’re nothing more than a uterus. A uterus with a vote.

Remembering the man who taught me how to fight, Andrew Breitbart

I know this is kind of late, but it’s only now that I can write this. I suppose I’ll start at the beginning.

Andrew Breitbart first appeared on my radar when he exposed ACORN (in conjunction with James O’Keefe) for the fraud it was. I was newly fired up about the conservative cause after Barack Obama ran for and won the presidency in 2008. You see, I spent the majority of my adolescence and young adult years a Leftist. I was a staunch defender of every leftist cause du jour (except abortion).  When Barack Obama began his presidential bid, I didn’t know much about him, but my gut reaction was “snake in the grass.” It was then that I really began paying attention and it was then that I finally came to peace with who I had always been – a conservative.

Still trying to find my footing in the Right, Andrew Breitbart immediately grabbed my attention. I loved his grit, his humor and his ability to disarm the Left simply by beating them at their own game. I followed the implosion of ACORN and witnessed the media frantically scramble to discredit Breitbart. And as I watched Breitbart stick it to interviewers, I found myself cheering out loud.  Coming from a place where I was excoriated, bullied and chastised every time I dared to think for myself (also known as the Left), watching Breitbart in action made me realize it was perfectly OK to piss off the Left and probably pretty fun too.  His unapologetic demeanor and unwavering support of the truth emboldened me to find my voice.

I had the privilege of meeting Breitbart a few months ago. After meeting him I liked him even more. I was pleasantly surprised that he was even more engaging in person than he was in everything I’d read and watched. We exchanged stories about our time in the Left, laughed about their hypocrisy and recounted our “awakenings.” Through the course of the conversation, he came up with two projects for me. Projects I would likely never have thought of on my own. I was struck by his ability to explain the Left and their agenda in a way that no one else could and his aptitude for finding ingenious ways to address their shallow hypocrisy.

When I read that he passed away I was absolutely devastated. Then I was confused. Why was I so upset by the passing of someone I’d met once?  It was only then that I realized how deeply I appreciated and thrived on everything he did for us and for the sake of truth.  He was our safety net, our guard dog baring his teeth at anyone who dared threaten us. I felt empty, lost and vulnerable.

Andrew Breitbart was and will forever be my hero. He taught me to be myself – unapologetically. He knew exactly how to get under the skin of every liberal in the media smear machine and make them writhe in discomfort while in turn, showing us their Achilles heels.  Breitbart didn’t just blaze a trail or clear a path for us, he dropped a load of daisy cutters. He completely revolutionized the scope of media and equipped us with everything we need to win this war.  And he didn’t just teach it, he lived it. While I’m deeply saddened that we lost our General and our guide, I’m hopeful. We are privileged to live in the world Breitbart changed.  He is our battle cry “…war.”

 

We are Andrew Breitbart.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Breitbart family in this trying time. May the Lord grant them immeasurable peace.
