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 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.
Last week Congress voted to reaffirm our national motto, “in God we trust.” Not surprisingly, President Obama took it upon himself to speak for God when he mocked the measure as “unimportant:”
The false narrative that indicts the GOP for the Obama job wrecking ball, whilst twenty-two jobs bills have been passed by the House (the only GOP controlled arm of the federal government) is getting rather old, or colloquially, “weak sauce.” But back to our national motto.
Liberals love to run their mouths about “separation of church and state” as though it’s the fulcrum that keeps the Republic in balance and have declared civil (litigation) war on any and every Christian reference they can find. The average liberal will also tell you that “separation of church and state” is in the Constitution (it’s not, by the way). So of course it’s not surprising that President Obama, in lock-step with the rest of his liberty-loathing lefties, made a point to mock the measure affirming America, at least officially, as a nation who recognizes from whence our liberty is derived – from God, not from government.
Since liberals have done a fantastic job of perverting the “original intent” of our founding fathers, let’s let their words speak for themselves, shall we? What would, oh, say, George Washington have to say on the origins of our liberties and our freedoms? His first inaugural address, as the first president of these great United States is a humbling reminder of the Republic entrusted to us and the legacy of liberty that made America the hope of mankind:
Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station; it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency. And in the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their United Government, the tranquil deliberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct communities, from which the event has resulted, cannot be compared with the means by which most Governments have been established, without some return of pious gratitude along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings which the past seem to presage. These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me I trust in thinking, that there are none under the influence of which, the proceedings of a new and free Government can more auspiciously commence.
I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my Country can inspire: since there is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity:Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.
Having thus imported to you my sentiments, as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign parent of the human race, in humble supplication that since he has been pleased to favour the American people, with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparellelled unanimity on a form of Government, for the security of their Union, and the advancement of their happiness; so his divine blessing may be equally conspicuousin the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.
That we are a nation of providence and intentional design must not be forgotten. It is as much a part of our heritage and legacy as the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War and the undeniable virtues of liberty and freedom that are the pulse of this great nation. It is for the truth of this legacy that we must continue to fight. It is for freedom, for liberty, for justice, that we must remain a nation who’s trust is not in government, but in God.
Just when I thought the left couldn’t possibly get more ridiculous, along came “Occupy Wall Street.” It was only a matter of time before the lovechild of anti-Americanism and liberalism came of age and as gave us a nonsensical “movement.” Of no surprise to anyone with a brain, the entire spectacle was carefully organized by the far, far left, courtesy of the SEIU, Van Jones and cohorts, as a lame lefty knock-off of an actual spontaneous political movement – the Tea Party.
Despite Occupy Wall Street’s ridiculous demands, incoherent message and purpose, disruptiveness and destructiveness, the media, and a host of the left’s best and brightest quickly gave their blessings and dubbed the movement “understandable.” To overcome the sheer idiocy of the movement and in an attempt to make it more palatable for the viewer at home, the media began comparing the Occupiers with the Tea Party.
Just how dissimilar are these movements? Well, see for yourself:

Aside from the obvious differences of cohesion, cleanliness, lawlessness, defecating on cop cars, etc. the biggest and most disturbing difference is the issue of patriotism. Occupy Wall Street may be disoriented and silly, but the underlying message is consistently anti-American, anti-freedom, entitlement-minded and pro-socialistic. And because it’s being egged on by every left-wing fanatic with a microphone, and has the backing of every thug-ridden union within strong-arms reach, the Occupy Wall Street movement won’t be dispersing any time soon. I think it’s about time to dust off our Gadsden flags, wear our red, white and blue and remind this country why constitutional America is the innate hope of mankind, don’t you?
While perusing some of my normal news sites, I came across a link to an Obama 2012 campaign site, complete with Dear Leader’s logo. You can check out the link here.
Turns out the website is an attempt to accrue negative feedback on Governor Perry and encourages respondents to submit an email indicating, “which part of Rick Perry’s record you’d most like to see him held accountable for.” So of course I had to respond:
Dear Anti-Perry Propaganda machine,
If your failed candidate of choice had actually taken care of our country, and done even one thing remotely presidential (other than over-utilizing teleprompters to give speeches to first graders) in these passed 2.5 years, there would be no need to spend so much time, resources, and no doubt, taxpayer money or at the very least illegally obtained campaign contributions trying to denigrate an incredibly successful Governor. Had Mr. Obama been the savior you swore he would be, then he would be running on his record of goodness, charity, hope, change and success. But since he hasn’t had any successes to date (based solely on his poor choices), and has left a wake of poverty, joblessness and destruction at every turn, you must now result to attacking everyone else.
Since at this point, ANYONE would be better than Nobel Prize Laureate, Dictator Deposer, Illegal War Intervener, oh, excuse me — Illegal “Kinetic Military Action” Intervener, Globalized Unconstitutional Healthcare, Project Gunrunner Funding, President Downgrade, your feeble attempts to discredit someone with an actual record of success (unlike our incumbent, Dear Leader) are just that — feeble.
While you will continue to do your damnest to smear Governor Perry, or any other GOP frontrunner, there are millions of us who will be there to counter your every lie.
Most sincerely,
Red Head
Is it surprising that President Obama’s re-election campaign is actively seeking out information (from the public) that could damage or defame the current GOP frontrunner? Of course not. It’s par for the course (and he spends enough time on the back nine for us to know). However, the sheer fact that this administration is so brazen in their efforts to squash any competition is in a word: pathetic. Regardless of your candidate of choice, this type of “strategy” is unacceptable and we are sure to see much more of it in the days to come. Because unlike his mentor, Slick Willy, Mr. Obama lacks finesse and political savvy. He’s just too narcissistic for such things.
With 14 months left before the big election day, and arguably the most crucial election in recent American history, we cannot relent. We must continue to fight the good fight and deflect the lies being hurled at those of us who still love America. Oh and feel free to send this campaign atrocity your thoughts. Link’s right here.
No doubt you’ve heard more lectures, I mean speeches, from President Obama (henceforth dubbed “President Downgrade”) than you ever wanted. His non-solutions on the debt, inability to negotiate, lead or even act presidential become more obvious with each passing day. We’ve seen him blame George W. Bush, the Tea Party, Republicans, Conservatives those evil millionaires, billionaires, execrable private jet owners, Big Oil and Big Business (aka corporations). Then, when those excuses became tired and worn (and polls found them ineffective) he moved on to even more juvenile blame-shifting. Of course it wasn’t his ineptitude, foolish policies or spend-thriftiness on crack to blame for our economic weakness, unprecedented credit downgrade, ridiculously high unemployment rate or general state of misery, no, no, it was the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring and now the newest culprit — bad luck. Really, everyone and everything that did not include B-A-R-A-C-K-O-B-A-M-A was tossed under Greyhound One.
Meanwhile, across the pond…
London was burning, literally. Seems as though the love child of Socialism and Nanny-statism produced a nasty little offspring. One content to destroy an entire city (or two or three) over a slight decrease in welfare benefits. Because after all, their parents (Socialism and Nanny-statism) ensured them they were entitled to everything their little hearts desired and they’d never have to lift a figer. Who can forget this lovely little BBC interview?
When asked why they were looting, destroying and stealing, their response sounded oddly familiar:
Rich people Conservatives Government People who own businesses
Hmm, I wondered, where had I heard this before? Then it hit me. President Downgrade. President Downgrade, just like the London rioters, blames the wealthy, Conservatives, the Government and business owners (a.k.a. people believing in the American Dream, success, freedom, capitalism and individual responsibility) for the ails of America. Of course I’m not surprised. But it certainly paints a bleak picture for these great United States if we do not shift gears and make a hard right turn. We’re already seeing the fruits of years of liberal toil that created an entire generation and society within the U.S. who genuinely believe the government will satisfy their every need, even birth control. Conveniently, of course, they forget that those evil businesses and wealthy people are the very ones that pay into a system that supports their lackadaisicalness. But that’s just an inconvenient little fact to them.
Our time is short and the 2012 elections will literally make or break our beloved America. Now is the time to stand up, stand firm and hold the line for freedom, liberty and individualism. Every single value that has made America truly exceptional is under attack from the likes of Socialist ideology and Nanny-statism. We must stand and fight, or watch our country slowly go the way of President Downgrade, and his merry little party of London rioters.
I’m not one to forward “forwarded” emails, however a very dear family friend sent me an email today that I couldn’t pass up. Embedded in this email were five simple truths that until recently, were the economic benchmarks of the American Dream. As our beloved country changes before our eyes, and our economy appears to crumble, these simple truths remind of us of who we were and how we were designed.
Each one has been perverted by liberal ideology which seeks to control the masses and destroy the will and identity of the individual. For if individuals think for themselves and do for themselves, why would they need government and why would they need the left? Control and freedom cannot coexist. They are the very antithesis of one another.
And so:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
Moving closer to the 2012 elections it is imperative that we revisit who we truly are as a nation. We must remember that freedom, liberty and personal responsibility are the only venues where the American Dream can thrive. We must get active, we must get involved and we must make our voice heard. The future of our Republic depends on it.
As a conservative, being lambasted with criticism, lies and trash has become, rather sadly, commonplace. Just part of belonging to the “vast right-wing conspiracy” I suppose. Yet throughout the “debt ceiling,” “debt crisis,” or whatever you want to call it debate, the Left’s reaction to the the Tea Parties “rigid” stance turned sour. Take a look.
Seems like only yesterday the Left was accusing us of racism every other minute. But since that was no longer harsh enough or effective enough, they had to move on to bigger and better slurs. The rhetoric went from bad to “you’ve got to be freaking kidding me” when esteemed Vice President, Joe “Gaffe Machine” Biden pronounced (along with the entire left-wing establishment) that the Tea Party was nothing but a group of terrorists. Of course, as Bernie Goldberg pointed out, it’s a bit ironic that the Left, who won’t even call the Islamic extremists responsible for the 9/11 and the Fort Hood attacks “jihadis” or “terrorists,” without reservation, toss the term at anything that smells like Tea Party. I maintain it’s just par for the course. Just another attempt by the left-wingers to smear, smudge and bury the truth behind a barrage of falsehoods, thereby misleading the public who still believe CNN is “balanced.”
The last laugh belongs to us though. For in this ridiculous hyperbole is desperation. For years the Conservative Right has sat silent while the left-wing establishment has launched countless verbal assaults. Well, we’ve finally had enough. And to help our cause, we’ve elected representatives who bear our sentiments and are also unafraid to speak up (see Joe Walsh, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Michelle Bachman, etc.). For too long the Left has controlled and manipulated, until the darned Tea Party came along. The darned Tea Party who won’t hush when they’re told to hush and won’t fall in partisan line with “everyone else.” And why should we? We have the ideological majority, and by quite a margin.
So, while there’s no question that being called a “terrorist” is ridiculous and unacceptable, we should grin a little every time the accusation is hurled. We have succeeded in getting under the collective liberal skin. We have found their Achilles heel. As we gear up for the 2012 elections, we must keep it up — it’s working. We must speak up not only for our values, freedom and future but for America. We must continue to speak truth. The liberal facade is cracking before us. Time to pull out our sledge hammers and finish the job. If we don’t, who will?
