Freebies Defeat Freedom

So This Is How Democracy Dies

There’s going to be much written in the following days and weeks ahead as to why Mitt Romney lost the election, some of it will be written by me.

In fact, some of it already has.  In our post on October 22nd, we advised Governor Romney not to play it safe in the third and final Presidential debate and go directly after Obama on Benghazi.

As we watched in horror, Romney didn’t, and ended up agreeing with Obama on point, after point during the debate.  Where was the Mitt Romney from the first debate?

When the third debate was over I couldn’t help but think to myself “there goes the election.  Why would anyone vote for Obama-lite when they could just vote for Obama?”

Then Hurricane Sandy and the now infamous photo of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie hugging Obama.  Many are already saying that one incident cost Romney the election.

I disagree.  Romney cost Romney the election.  In a horse race, betters look to find the horse with a winning edge, the “difference” between horses to determine who’ll win.  Romney’s performance during the third debate gave voters no reason to choose him.  Simply stated, there was no difference between the two as Romney sat and agreed with Obama on point after point.

Romney gave voters no reason to change horses because he and Obama looked the same during and after the third debate.

As I said back on October 22nd, Romney needed to not 'play it safe’ and take Obama out.  He failed.

We are living the results of Romney’s failure during that third debate now, and that means four more years of socialist/marxist policies with nothing more than an ineffective Republican House standing in the way.

What will we see for four more years?  Here’s a short list:

- Still higher energy prices as the EPA implements its radical agenda to shut down refineries and coal plants across the country.  The EPA had regulations ready to go in case Obama lost, but now there’s nothing stopping them from driving gasoline and electricity costs to new heights.

- Higher health care costs, now that Obamacare will be implemented.  My employer already announced that more costs are being shifted to us as a result of having to be compliant with Obamacare.

- Continued slow to no economic growth.  Keep watching the job numbers folks.  Specifically, watch the first time unemployment claims starting this month.  They’ll continue outpacing the cooked “jobs numbers” coming from the Obama Administration.

- College Graduates can look forward to continuing to work multiple part-time jobs, rather than having a good paying job in their field.

- Housing market collapse, part II.  Weak jobs market equals weak demand in housing.  Home builders were ramping up the last quarter preparing to build new homes anticipating higher growth, kiss that goodbye.

And those are just for starters folks.  So to those who voted for Obama, congratulations.  You voted for freebies over freedom.  The problem for you is, sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to re-distribute.  That day is coming, sooner than you think.

That’s when those of us who did not vote for Obama will have the last laugh.

“So this is how Democracy dies … to thunderous applause.”

Father Of Fallen Navy Seal Demands Answers

Charles Woods Believes White House Responsible for Son’s Death

Why Isn’t The Lamestream Media Talking to Charles Woods?

The father of a former Navy SEAL killed in the Libya terror attack on September 11th said U.S. officials who denied a request for help while the diplomatic compound in Benghazi was under attack "are murderers of my son."

Charles Woods was reacting to accounts by Fox News sources that a request from the CIA annex for backup was denied by U.S. officials.

His son, Tyrone Woods, was killed in the Sept. 11 assault.
"They refused to pull the trigger," Woods said. "Those people who made the decision and who knew about the decision and lied about it are murderers of my son."

 

Charles Woods on Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro

Personally, I think Mr. Woods is showing far too much respect for the lying, filthy scumballs that make up the Obama Administration, who really deserve no respect at all.

OBAMA LIED WHILE GOOD MEN DIED IN LIBYA!

Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty Denied Help

CIA Operators Told To Stand Down Rather Than Help

Former Navy SEALS Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When they and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to “stand down,” according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to “stand down.”

We also now know that an AC-130U Gunship was On-Scene in Benghazi, Obama Admin Refused to Let It Fire:

The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

Folks, if you’re not angry – you’re not an American.

Washington Post Turns on Obama

Lingering Questions About Benghazi

David Ignatius, Opinion Writer, Washington Post

Published: 30-October-2012 @ 6:17pm

Excerpt:

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails. But Fox News has raised some questions about the attack that deserve a clearer answer from the Obama administration.

Fox’s Jennifer Griffin reported Friday that CIA officers in Benghazi had been told to “stand down” when they wanted to deploy from their base at the annex to repel the attack on the consulate, about a mile away. Fox also reported that the CIA officers requested military support when the annex came under fire later that night but that their request had been denied.

The Benghazi tragedy was amplified by Charles Woods, the father of slain CIA contractor Tyrone Woods. He told Fox’s Sean Hannity that White House officials who didn’t authorize military strikes to save the embattled CIA annex were “cowards” and “are guilty of murdering my son.”

The Fox “stand down” story prompted a strong rebuttal from the CIA: “We can say with confidence that the agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.”

An Ode To Obama

War, War, Everywhere.

Author: Unkonwn

War on women,
War on fuel,
War on America,
What are we to do?

Fast and Furious,
And Benghazi too.
Several are dead,
Because of you.

Splitting the country,
In more ways than one.
You won't be happy,
Until you have won.

Wasted tax dollars,
Right down the drain.
And you want more,
You are inflicting such pain.

On November the sixth,
I will cast my vote.
And I hope and pray,
This is far as it goes.

I am a proud veteran,
Who went to Viet Nam.
And I will not bury,
My head in the sand.

To "The Messiah" Obama,
You must go.
For the good of the country,
God please make it so.

Yes Mr. Obama–The American Military Does In Fact Use Horses & Bayonets In Combat

CNN Report From October, 2011 Proves Obama LIED Again!

In an article dated October 6th, 2011 Alex Quade in a report to CNN documented the American Miltary’s use of horses to lead the invasion in Afghanistan.

 

Quoting the article:

Demossville, Kentucky (CNN) -- The U.S. special operations teams that led the American invasion in Afghanistan a decade ago did something that no American military had done since the last century: ride horses into combat.

"It was like out of the Old Testament," says Lt. Col. Max Bowers, retired Green Beret, who commanded the three horseback teams.

"You expected Cecil B. DeMille to be filming and Charlton Heston to walk out."

Bowers spoke while sitting in the rural Kentucky studio of sculptor Douwe Blumberg, along with three of his former "horse soldiers."

They, along with 30 fellow commandos on horseback, are the inspiration for a new monument that Blumberg is creating, dedicated to the entire U.S. special operations community.

The statue above was erected at the site of the World Trade Center on Veterans Day in 2011.

There’s also a best selling book “Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of Us Soldiers Who Rode To Victory in Afghanistan.”  A new movie coming out soon by Jerry Bruckheimer is based on the best selling book. 

One last comment: Anyone who’s been in the US Army, or is a US Marine will also testify to the fact that yes, bayonets are used in today’s military.  They’re an important part of hand-to-hand combat training.  A REAL President would’ve known that.

So now, who’s the FOOL Mr. Obama, and who knows their military history? 

Free Clue: Obama is clueless once again.

Memo To Romney Campaign: Don’t Play It Safe

Obama’s Foreign Policy In Two Words: Negligence Kills

During the third and final Presidential debate, Mitt Romney has a once in a lifetime opportunity blow this campaign wide open if he successfully casts the Libyan Embassy attacks in their correct light: Obama’s negligence.

If Romney chooses to play it safe, he will doom his campaign to failure.  Rather, I say Mr. Romney should hold Mr. Obama accountable for his negligence before, during, and after the Libya Embassy attacks.  In an age where accountability seems to be missing, holding the current President accountable for his Administrations continual mis-steps on all things economic – and foreign relations would send a positive signal to Romney’s base, and the critical “swing voters” who are dying to see someone held accountable for the mess this country is in.

Obama’s negligence has resulted in the death of 4 American’s in Libya.  His subsequent dishonesty regarding what happened has the potential to impact the voting decisions of undecided low information voters. There will be millions of people watching on Monday night who have not been following this scandal closely and they want to know who is accountable. 

This is a key moment in the Romney and Obama campaigns.  Obama with Candy Crowley’s aid last week flat-out lied when he claimed he called the Libya Embassy Attacks “an act of terror.”  The record shows Mr. Obama said no such thing.  Now is the time for Mr. Romney to go for the kill, so to speak.  Playing it ‘safe’ would mean he sit’s back and hopes Obama doesn’t get lucky during the debate. 

Hillary Clinton made that mistake in 2008, Mr. Romney.  Are you listening?

Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Iowa are on the verge of swinging to Romney.  In these four states the race is within 1 point of swinging to Romney.  Momentum is on his side, is now the time to play it safe?

The choice Mr. Romney must make is to go aggressively after Obama and hold him accountable for both the lack of security in Benghazi, and the Obama Administration’s repeated failed attempts to paint what happened as anything other than a terrorist attack against America.

Ultimately the question of Libya is going to come up, whether Bob Schieffer asks the question or not.  Here’s how Mr. Romney should handle the situation:

First, Mr. Romney should state that what happened in Benghazi resulted in the deaths of four Americans including Ambassador Chris Stevens, an act that has not occurred since the Carter Administration in 1979.

Second, Mr. Romney should state clearly that the issue continues to receive a lot of attention more than two months later as a direct result of the Obama Administration’s continued efforts to paint the issue as something other than a terrorist attack.  Name Al-Qaeda as the terrorist group responsible.

Third, state clearly that because the Obama Administration cannot seem to get the facts or its story straight, many American’s including many in the media believe that a cover-up has taken place.  Here Mr. Romney has any number of media published reports to back this claim:

CNN reported “On 9/12 and even before then, the CIA and other sources within the State Department made the administration aware that the attack was not related to any demonstration (there was no demonstration) and that attack was a terrorist attack”

On 9/12, President Obama gave a speech where he decried a youtube video, made a comment about 9/11/01, and made a generic comment that “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation”. Note that, contrary to the President’s contention in the last debate, he did NOT, during this speech specifically label the Benghazi attack a “terror attack”

The American people were led to believe by the President’s spokesperson Jay Carney, Susan Rice (during appearances on six Sunday TV shows the weekend of September 30th), the President himself and other surrogates that the attack resulted from a spontaneous demonstration stemming from a youtube video.  The President himself was asked several times, on television shows such as “The View” and the David Letterman show whether the attack was a terror attack. Obama flatly refused to say that it was.  Obama also blamed the You Tube video multiple times during his address to the United Nations on September 21st, never once saying it was a terrorist attack. 

 

Finally, Mr. Romney should state the number of security breaches that have occurred in the last 12 months in Libya.  I’m not going to suggest he specify the dates, there are too many.  The number is sufficient.  In citing the number of security breaches, Mr. Romney should also remind the President (as he turns, looks, and stares at Obama) that each and every September 11th, Embassies around the world have increased security. 

Then Mr. Romney should ask this question: Why didn’t Benghazi have additional protection on September 11th, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center?

The American people are demanding answers to these questions, rightfully so.  Obama’s “lead from behind” foreign policy strategy has proven to be an unmitigated disaster for America. 

Further, the “arab spring” that Mr. Obama has promoted has resulted in Islamic theocracies taking hold in Libya, Egypt and Syria is on the brink.  The muslim brotherhood has firm holds in all three and they are no friends to America. 

Mr. Obama also failed to encourage the peaceful turnover of Iran in the summer of 2009 when hundreds of thousands of students peacefully demonstrated for regime change, only to be shot dead in the streets while Mr. Obama looked the other way.

Will Mr. Romney go after Mr. Obama full-force on these issues? 

If he does, it’ll be game, set and match for Romney.

The American people are demanding accountability for these failures and Mr. Obama needs to be put on the hook for it.

Any way the American people look at Mr. Obama’s answers, he’ll be viewed as being dishonest at best, ignorantly incompetent at worst.  Obama simply cannot simply explain away the multitude of different answers he and members of his Administration have given on Libya.

Global Warming: A Mann Made Hoax

The Facts About Global Warming

As things stand today, we now know that two "climatologists" are at the heart of the Global "Warming" fiasco of which Al Gore has financially benefitted from the last 10 years with his "carbon credit" scheme.

First there is Michael Mann, the Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University in the Department of Meteorology adn Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, also the Director of the University's Inter-Departmental Earth System Science Center.

Second is Britain's leading climate "scientist" Phil Jones who along with Mann published more than 100 "peer reviewed articles" on global warming. 

As I've gone through the emails over the last week, there are two names that are repeatedly mentioned in how "scientists" are to correct their own data, thus showing the "hockey stick effect" which "proves global warming: Mann and Jones. 

We now know that global warming is a Mann made hoax, perpetrated on Governments for continued research funding (read that: tax payer dollars) and as a way to "control" the population of the planet. 

Perhaps "hoax" isn't the right word, as it implies "humor" or "fun" and there is no fun to be had in adopting the "recommendations" that the global warming alarmists want to impose on the rest of us.

"Crime against all humanity" is a better term for what Mann and Jones have tried to pull off.  I certainly like that better.  So why has the liberal lamestream media continued to ignore a story that's almost a week old on the 'net?  Facts are pesky things, and this whole climate-gate stuff is pretty difficult to understand, much like Watergate was during the Nixon Administration, so allow me to simplify it:

It's not the crime, it's the cover-up.

In deliberately using false data, and covering their tracks with 'peer reviews', refusal to respond to Freedom of Information Acts, destroying emails and other damn'ing data, and ostracising those who disagreed with their "scientific" approach, Mann and Jones have managed to criminally affect national and global policies that impact all nations economies to the cost of trillions of dollars in reduced wages, productivity and revenues to governments.





Obama Environmental Czar John Holdren Implicated In Scandal

Perhaps the most troubling aspect of the Mann made global warming hoax is Obama Environmental Czar John Holdren's role in it all as his name appears in several emails stating that those who disagreed with 'global warming' would be made into 'raw entertainment' for the rest of the scientific community.

Holdren is well known for his totalitarian views on forced abortions and mass sterilization to "save the planet."   Most recently, Holdren advocated for a transnational "Planetary Regime" that would take control of the global economy, dictating the most intimate details of Americans' lives -- using an armed international police force.

Holdren's other claims in the past have included that the world is running out of oil in his 1971 Sierra Club book, Energy: A Crisis in Power, Holdren declared that "it is fair to conclude that under almost any assumptions, the supplies of crude petroleum and natural gas are severely limited. The bulk of energy likely to flow from these sources may have been tapped within the lifetime of many of the present population."  In addition to his early formed radical views on forced abortions and sterilization, he also advocated for centralized, global economic planning to "minimize impacts to the planet" through "The Limits to Growth" club, of which he was a founding member. 

You might think that Holdren's views would be impossible to impose but that would be incorrect as this has been the goal of global warming alarmists all along: change the way people live, produce and procreate.

Where's Glenn Beck on this, by the way?  I'd have thought he'd be railing against Holdren on TV by now. 

What Will Obama Do in Copenhagen?

Now that "global warming" has been proven to be a fraud perpetrated on all humanity, what type of "bowing" will Obama do for the rest of the world in Copenhagen? 

According to the Los Angeles Tiems Greenspace blog:

The White House will also announce today that the United States will commit, in the talks, to reduce its emissions of the heat-trapping gases scientists blame for global warming "in the range of" 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, the official said. That's the target set out in the climate bill the House passed in June.


White House officials said the decision to attend came after productive climate discussions between Obama and the heads of China and India, two developing nations whose participation is seen as critical to any successful effort to avert catastrophic climate change."

The Obama Administration is either behind the times or is deliberately ignoring the breaking climate-gate fraud as they attempt to further destroy the American Economy by implementing more taxes and expanding the size of the Federal Government in the largets power grab by the Fed's in the country's history.

Is Obama dumb enough to let climate-gate damage him?  I suspect he is, the power hungry arrogant bastard that he is.

Five Aussie MP's Resign Over Carbon Tax

The ETS is Australia’s version of America’s proposed Cap and Trade and the EU’s various carbon reduction schemes: a way of taxing business on its CO2 output.

Though the ETS squeaked narrowly through Australia’s House of Representatives, its Senate is proving more problematic – thanks not least to the widespread disgust by the many Senators who have read Professor Plimer’s book Heaven And Earth at the dishonesty and corruption of the Global Warming industry. If the Senate keeps rejecting the scheme, then the Australian government will be forced to dissolve.

"Mr. Obama, as you fly around the world apologizing for America and try to get the Olympics in your hometown, and golf, and have party after party after party in the White House our men and women are dying and losing limbs in Afghanistan.
"By the way, how many golf games have you played? How many parties have you had? How many fundraisers and campaign events have you attended in the last ninety days since you were told we needed more troops?
"You said the war in Afghanistan was a war of necessity. I personally can never forgive you for misleading us. You made it sound like you were going to do what needed to be done to win in Afghanistan. Another lie. Instead you put them on the backburner in hopes of pushing through a health care reform that most of us don't even want.
"You left my son and all the other troops like sitting ducks. Mr. Obama you should be ashamed of yourself.

We ask you, our reader to click on the video and post your well wishes for Debbie and her son’s well being as the Obama Administration continues to dither on Afghanistan while America’s best continue to fight the good fight there.

Fact Checking Sarah Palin’s Book “Going Rogue”

Associated Pravda Assigns Ten Writers To Comb Through Book, Ignores Obama’s Specious Claims About Economic Recovery

In yet another sign that the left-wing, liberal dominated continues to go completely bonkers at the mere mention of Sarah Palin’s name, ten Associated Press Pravda writers were put on the task of “fact checking” Palin’s new book “Going Rogue.”

Associated Pravda writers Matt Apuzzo, Sharon Theimer, Tom Raum, Rita Beamish, Beth Fouhy, H. Josef Hebert, Justin D. Pritchard, Garance Burke, Dan Joling and Lewis Shaine  were assigned to comb through all 432 pages (about 43 pages each) for so called ‘factual errors.’

Here’s a question: Has anyone at the Associated Press Pravda ever bothered to fact-check a single Obama statement about how he’s “created or saved” more than a million jobs with the implementation of his “economic plan?” (Nov. 13th, 2009)
Let’s fact-check Associated Pravda’s “fact checking” shall we?
Among their findings:

PALIN: Writes about a city councilman in Wasilla, Alaska, who owned a garbage truck company and tried to push through an ordinance requiring residents of new subdivisions to pay for trash removal instead of taking it to the dump for free — this to illustrate conflicts of interest she stood against as a public servant.
THE FACTS: As Wasilla mayor, Palin pressed for a special zoning exception so she could sell her family's $327,000 house, then did not keep a promise to remove a potential fire hazard on the property.

Is this an example of A.P.’s “fact checking” skills?  If so, it falls far short of the norm.  Rather than checking whether a city councilman in Wasilla Alaska tried forcing residents of new housing subdivisions as Palin claims, Associated Pravda goes right into character assassination mode by trying to detract the reader from the corruption Palin fought.  There is no indication here that Associated Pravda made even the weakest attempt at “fact checking.”  The entire article is replete with examples such as above, and even worse, some equivocations such as this:

PALIN: Boasts that she ran her campaign for governor on small donations, mostly from first-time givers, and turned back large checks from big donors if her campaign perceived a conflict of interest.
THE FACTS: Of the roughly $1.3 million she raised for her primary and general election campaigns for governor, more than half came from people and political action committees giving at least $500, according to an AP analysis of her campaign finance reports. The maximum that individual donors could give was $1,000; $2,000 for a PAC.

Is the A.P. serious here?  The overwhelming majority of Palin’s campaign contributions were $500 or less, which is HALF of the legal limit?  They’re seriously complaining about this?  Ok, so half her contributions were for $500, half the legal limit, which means the other half of her contributions were … what?  Oh, that’s right, the Associated Pravda doesn’t bother to check that out do they?  Those pesky little facts just get in their way.

Here’s a few more.

PALIN: Rails against taxpayer-financed bailouts, which she attributes to Obama. She recounts telling daughter Bristol that to succeed in business, "you'll have to be brave enough to fail."
THE FACTS: Palin is blurring the lines between Obama's stimulus plan — a $787 billion package of tax cuts, state aid, social programs and government contracts — and the federal bailout that Republican presidential candidate John McCain voted for and President George W. Bush signed.

The language of “blurring the lines” is not one of so-called “fact checkers”, rather it is the language of Democrat Party Apparatchik apologists.  The fact is Palin came out against tax payer funded bailouts of the banking and automobile industries, which in large partoccurred after the 2008 elections.  Who’s “blurring the lines” here?  None other than Associated Pravda.

PALIN: Says Ronald Reagan faced an even worse recession than the one that appears to be ending now, and "showed us how to get out of one. If you want real job growth, cut capital gains taxes and slay the death tax once and for all."
THE FACTS: The estate tax, which some call the death tax, was not repealed under Reagan and capital gains taxes are lower now than when Reagan was president.
Economists overwhelmingly say the current recession is far worse. The recession Reagan faced lasted for 16 months; this one is in its 23rd month. The recession of the early 1980s did not have a financial meltdown. Unemployment peaked at 10.8 percent, worse than the October 2009 high of 10.2 percent, but the jobless rate is still expected to climb.

Fact: Regan faced double-digit unemployment, double-digit hyper-inflation and energy shortages inherited from the Carter administration.  Somehow this doesn’t qualify as an ‘economic meltdown’ in the A.P.’s eyes.

Obama faces double-digit unemployment largely of his own making due to his failed economic policies which spent nearly $1,000,000,000,000 (that’s one trillion) dollars of taxpayer money without a single job created to show for it.  Obama’s continued “print more money” economic policies are contributing to the continued downfall of the American dollar, and his tax policies as reflected in “Cap and Trade” and “Health Care Reform” which are both small business killers due to their increased, record taxes.

The fact is Reagan knew how to end the recession of the early 80’s and did it.  He cut taxes and increased revenue to the Federal Government.  While it’s true that Reagan didn’t end the estate or “death” tax, the fact that the A.P. skipped is that Reagan had a DEMOCRAT CONGRESS that fought him at every turn.  It wasn’t until George W. Bush had a Republican Congress in the early 2000’s that the “death tax” was repealed.

Obama on the other hand is hell-bent on increasing taxes and the size and scope of the Federal Government, which is fully responsible for business’ downsizing at the rate of more than 500,000 jobs a month since January of this year when Obama took office.
Having read the entire Associated Pravda article I can easily go point by point and refute A.P.’s so called “facts” but I have a “three strikes and your out” rule that I apply to reading anything in the “mainstream media.”  If I find three factual errors that I can prove, the entire article is completely worthless.

Sorry Associated Press Pravda, three strikes and you’re out.
