My Take on the “New” Tea Party

 There is a new Tea Party in town, The Gateway Grassroots Initiative. They claim they are a “harder, better, faster and stronger conservative grassroots movement.” What does that mean? Sounds like an ego problem.

  

The Tea Party represents Patriotic Americans who are concerned about their country. Tea Party people want their leaders to follow the Constitution; they want limited Government; less taxes and for Government to be fiscally responsible. Therefore, anyone or any Candidate who possess those attributes can call themselves a Tea Party Patriot.

“Gateway Grassroots Initiative is built around action items (T.I.P.s) with the purpose of promoting conservatism. Their mission is to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize fellow Gateway area citizens to secure a culture consistent with our three core values of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.” Wasn’t that what the Tea Party stands for?

“Gateway Grassroots Initiative is formed around the ideal that every American citizen has the personal privilege and responsibility of becoming a “minuteman” for their country in various ways. Many are well on their way to doing this, through their blogs, to running for office, becoming a precinct captain, running for their local school board, organizing petitions, fighting for voter integrity. However, Gateway Grassroots Initiative is uninterested in endorsing or singularly promoting candidates, instead choosing to focus on ideas.” GGI calls for “minutemen” to run for public office, yet the GGI will not promote or help them get elected. So, how is that helping the Conservative movement?

“Gateway Grassroots Initiative wants to court the liberal arts, entertainment, and Hollywood crowd. We intend to use pop culture as an ally in this fight.” How does courting the liberal arts, entertainment, and Hollywood crowd going to help the Conservative movement? If anything, the education needs to start with the children before they enter public schools, aka. indoctrination centers. There is no need to court anyone. It is better to stand on principles and have the people come to you.

The GGI's first two initiatives are 1, starting a book club and 2, a blanket drive to keep people warm. OK? How does starting a book club or conducting a blanket drive help Constitutional, limited government, fiscally responsible candidates get elected to office or the Conservative movement? Wouldn’t it be better to have the right people in office so people have jobs and enough money to buy their own blankets?

The goal of the Tea Party should be to support and help elect Conservative candidates who want limited government and who will follow the Constitution. Otherwise, what’s the point? In order to change the direction this country is headed we need to elect Conservative candidates.  

Fort Hood, "Workplace Violence?"

Islamic Terrorism and Fort Hood Massacre

DOD's classifies the Fort Hood massacre as "workplace violence." How ridiculous!! However, did you expect anything different coming from this administration and the PC climate that exists today.

When the incident first occurred, the so-called mainstream news media reported that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan a 39-year-old Army psychiatrist at Fort Hood opened fire at the base shooting and killing 13 people, (12 soldiers and a civilian) and wounding several others. Yet, in their reporting they failed to mention that he was a Muslim. Political correctness at it’s best.

Prior to the shooting Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" 

Some people, along with the media are making excuses for this murdering terrorists claiming Hasan may have suffered from “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,” even though he was never in combat. They also claimed he was upset about going to Afghanistan although he would not have been on the front line; he was a psychiatrist and would have been behind the lines supposedly counseling troubled soldiers. What about the soldiers that were treated by this psychiatrist? How were they affected?

An imam from a mosque Hasan regularly attended said Hasan, a lifelong Muslim, was a committed soldier, gave no sign of extremist beliefs, regularly wore his uniform at prayers and was looking for a wife. Perhaps he did this terrorist act so he could meet the 72 virgins.

Even President Barack Hussein Obama wants to be politically correct and make excuses for this killer. When the incident first occurred at Fort Hood Obama said in a statement, "We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts." Ironically, he jumped to conclusions regarding the incident with the white police officer from Cambridge and the black professor from Harvard.

Obama said. "It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas. It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil." He's concerned about the soldiers’ safety at home. I'm concerned about their safety wherever they are. They are on our team.

Now, Obama states, “We can not fully know what leads a man to do such a thing,” referring to the radical Muslim jihadist that struck at Fort Hood. Would you expect anything else coming from Obama? After all he said he has empathy for the terrorists who on 9/11 crashed the planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania killing thousands of American citizens. He also said we, the American citizens should have empathy for them. Obama is an embarrassment, an appeaser and is dangerous regarding America's safety. 

The military is also being politically correct and are refraining from revealing that Hasan was a Muslim with anti-American sentiments. Investigators were trying to piece together how and why Hasan allegedly gunned down his comrades.

Here are the facts about Hasan that are known:

Hasan attended the Maryland graduate military medical program and classmates there complained to the faculty about Hasan's "anti-American propaganda," but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal complaint.Another classmate said Hasan once gave a jarring presentation to students in which he argued the war on terrorism was a war against Islam.

Dr. Val Finnell complained to administrators at the military university about what he considered Hasan's "anti-American" rants. Finnell said, "He at least should have been confronted about these beliefs, told to cease and desist, and to shape up or ship out."

Hasan reported for duty at Fort Hood in July, after working at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington for six years. Though Hasan apparently had problems at Walter Reed, officials at the Fort Hood hospital said they weren't aware of any issues with his job performance. The problem was he is a Muslim and because of political correctness (PC) nothing was done.

Hasan had SOA (Soldiers of Allah) on his business cards.

At least six months prior to the Fort Hood shooting, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

Hasan gave away his belongings including his clothing and a copy of the Quran and said his good-byes prior to the massacre.

Before he began shooting Hasan shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" 

The shooter was a Muslim, had anti-American sentiments and did not want to go to Afghanistan.  

What occurred at Fort Hood was a terrorist act, by a radical Muslim jihadist that Obama refuses to address, as well as the so-called mainstream media and the military. The American people need to wake up and they must remember, the radical Muslims believe Americans are infidels; and the infidels will have to convert to Islam, be enslaved or killed. So, beware of the “Trojan Horse,” Osama bin Laden and the Muslim Brotherhood called for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within. They stated we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want. Are Muslims infiltrating America to destroy it from within? 

There are a lot of people that are putting a blind eye to the threat that is out there. Another example is when the six imams who were acting suspiciously on a US Airways flight 300 in November 2006 and were removed from the plane. The imams were seated throughout the plane. Two imams who claimed two first-class seats said their tickets were upgraded. However, the gate agent told police that when the imams asked to be upgraded, they were told no such seats were available. Nevertheless, the two men were seated in first class when they were removed. Three of the men asked for seat-belt extenders, although the men were not oversized. The flight attendant said, rather than attach the extensions, the men placed the straps and buckles on the cabin floor. Witnesses told law enforcement that the men spoke in Arabic and English, criticizing the war in Iraq and President Bush, and talking about al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. According to witnesses, police reports and aviation security officials, the imams displayed other suspicious behavior. Therefore, they were removed from the plane.

The imams felt profiled, humiliated, and discriminated against by their treatment, and subsequently sued the airline with the assistance of CAIR, Council on American Islamic Relations. CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. The case was settled and a CAIR spokesman stated, “The settlement of this case is a clear victory for justice and civil rights over fear and the phenomenon of 'flying while Muslim’ in the post-9/11 era.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Texas Democrat, said the September 11 terrorist attacks "cannot be permitted to be used to justify racial profiling, harassment and discrimination of Muslim and Arab Americans."

I believe these imams were testing the system to see what they can get away with. They also wanted to make people reluctant to report suspicious activity by Muslims in the future for fear of being called a racist and a religious bigot.

More recently, there were the two Muslims who made a test run on an airplane with items packed in their luggage resembling explosive devices along with knives and box cutters. They did not deem the incident as an act of terror. Did they at least put them on the “No Fly” list?

President Obama said, “The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam.” Unfortunately, Islam is at war with America and the American people must remain vigilant, with or without the help of the Obama Administration, the military or the so-called Mainstream Media.

Ed Martin, Conservative for MO District 2

 Ed Martin is the true conservative in the US Congressional race for the newly formed 2^nd District in Missouri and he deserves to be supported. The Democrat/Statist’s policies and rhetoric are detrimental to this country. Being concerned with the direction this country is headed Ed Martin wanted to do something about it. Therefore, Ed Martin ran against Russ Carnahan with a Conservative message for the Third Congressional District of Missouri in the 2010 election when no establishment Republican wanted to do so. The Third Congressional District of Missouri in 2010 favored the Democrats.  He came up a little short of votes to win on election night.

Why should a candidate run for office? Should they run only if they are in a secure district, hoping for an easy victory or should they run because the opposing party's policies and rhetoric are detrimental to this country? The establishment GOP did not run against the Incumbent Russ Carnahan. Why? Why did they not challenge Russ Carnahan or Dick Gephardt in the past? Was it because they never wanted to challenge the Democrats and the Status quo? Was it because it would have been a tough election? Was it because that was Dick Gephardt's District, and the Democrat/Statists owned and were entitled to that fiefdom.    

Now, the newly formed 2^nd District favors a Republican Candidate and Ann Wagner enters the race. Why didn’t Ann Wagner challenge Russ Carnahan or Dick Gephardt in prior elections? Ed Martin is a Conservative and did the leg work in the previous election and his positions have not changed, therefore he deserves to be supported. There is much work to be done to get America back on track and it starts with electing common sense conservatives like Ed Martin to be the people’s representatives.  

Where is the loyalty?

Ed Martin is the true conservative in the US Congressional race for the newly formed 2nd District in Missouri. Ed Martin was endorsed by the St. Louis Tea Party in the 2010 election, however this time there are factions in the Tea Party who no longer support Ed Martin, but instead are supporting Ann Wagner. Whether Ann is a Conservative or not, is not the point; my question is, “Where is the loyalty?” Ed did the leg work when he ran against Russ Carnahan with a Conservative message for the Third Congressional District of Missouri in the 2010 election when no establishment Republican wanted to do so, because the Third Congressional District of Missouri favored the Democrats. In the end he came up a little short of votes to win the election. Ed is now running in the newly formed 2nd, which favors the Republicans and his positions have not changed. So why would someone who supported Ed in the previous campaign no longer want to support him now? What are their reasons? This country is in dire straights and there is much work to be done to get America back on track. It starts with electing common sense conservatives like Ed Martin to be the people’s representatives.

The Statists View on the Tea Party v. Occupy Movement

 Some people want to compare the Occupy movement with the Tea Party. The only comparison I see is they are groups of people; however, the difference is they have different agendas. The Tea Party does not want America to be TRANSFORMED into a Socialist/Communist state, whereas, the Occupy crowd does. The Tea Party talks about self reliance and limited government, whereas the Occupy movement wants to end Capitalism and expand government. The Tea Party has been vilified by the Statists and the Mainstream Media, by being called condescending and defamatory names such as extremists and terrorists in order to marginalize and silence them. Whereas the Occupy movement has been embraced by the Statists and the Mainstream Media.

It was Barack Hussein Obama who said he wanted to TRANSFORM America. Unfortunately, not enough people asked into what. True Americans do NOT want their country turned into a Socialist State.  The Statists were uncivil and condescending when they rammed Obamacare through Congress against the wishes of the majority of the American people, but there was no mention of their unruly actions in the so-called Main Stream Media.  

According to the Statists and the so-called Mainstream Media the Tea Party are   “Terrorists,” among other things. As expected, they embrace the Occupy Movement.  Let’s compare the rhetoric from them regarding both groups. The following are statements made by them regarding the Occupy Movement:

Barack Obama: “I think it expresses the frustrations that the American people feel. We understand their struggles. And we are on their side. In some ways they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party.”

Joe Biden: Re: Occupy Movement, "I really don't know about the Van Jones group, except what I read in the press. I don't disrespect the tea party. I think the tea party and the Van Jones folks are different halves of the same concern."Biden continued: "You have on one end Van Jones's guys, whoever he is, talking about Wall Street."Suddenly, both Harris and his co-host Tedd Webb laughed and reminded Biden that Jones was the "Green czar" in the administration. "Oh, is that… alright," Biden replied.

Nancy Pelosi: “And God bless them for their spontaneity. You know, it’s an independent, people coming. It’s young, it’s spontaneous, it’s focused and it’s going to be effective.”

Van Jones: “The best people, the best people in our country right now, the most selfless are down there on Wall Street standing up against the most selfish.”

Maxine Waters: “The incidents of crime are merely a “distraction” from the Occupiers’ ultimate goal. Let me just say this: Anytime you have a gathering, homeless people are going to show up.They will find some comfort in having some other people out on the streets with them. They’re looking for food. Often times, the criminal element will invade. That’s life and it happens, whether it’s with protesters or other efforts that go on in this country. So I’m not deterred in my support for them because of these negative kinds of things. I just want them to work at doing the best job that they can do to bring attention to this economic crisis and the unfairness of the system at this time.”

And then there’s and the Tea Party:   

Barack Hussein Obama’s response regarding Joe Biden’s Tea Party are terrorists: "Now, in fairness, since I've been called a socialist who wasn't born in this country, who is destroying America and taking away its freedoms because I passed a health care bill, I'm all for lowering the rhetoric."

Vice President Joe Biden: “The Tea Party Republicans are acting like ‘Terrorists.’”

VP Joe Biden: “This is a different kind of fight. This is a fight for the existence of organized labor. You are the only folks keeping the barbarians [Tea Party] at the gate. That’s why they want you so bad.”

Nancy Pelosi: Re:The Tea Party, “I think they are Astro-turf, you be the judge of carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare.”

Bob Beckel of Fox News contributor: “the Tea Terrorist Party.”

Steven Rattner of Morning Joe:   “The Tea Party Guys are like strapped with dynamite in Times Square at rush hour and say you are going to do it my way or we will blow you up and ourselves and the whole country with us.”

Chris Matthews of Hardball: “The GOP has become the Wahabi’s of American Government willing to risk bringing down the whole country in the service of their anti-tax ideology.”

Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News: “They (Tea Party) strapped explosives to the Capitol and they think they are immune to it.”

Tina Brown of News Week: “The Tea Party is equal to ‘Suicide Bombers.’”

Thomas Friedman of New York Times: “The Tea Party is Hezbollah.”

Peter Goodman of Huffington Post: “The Tea Party acts like ‘Terrorists.’”

Maxine Waters, “The Tea Party can go straight to hell.”

William Yeoman of CNN: “The Tea Party faction in the House are ‘Full Blown Terrorists.’”

Fareed Zakaria of CNN: “The Tea Party wants to blow up the country.”

Paul Krugman of New York Times: “The Tea Party wants to blow up the economy.”

David Brooks of New York Times:  “The Tea Party has no sense of moral decency.”

Jimmy Hoffa: "President Obama, this is your army, we are ready to march. But everybody here’s got to vote. If we go back, and keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these son-of-a-bitches [Tea Party] out."

The Statists are the ones who are un-American and attack the Tea Party Patriots with ad hominem attacks demonizing them in an effort to silence them, because the FACTS do not back them up. Tea Party people are Patriotic Americans who are concerned about their country. Tea Party people want their leaders to follow the Constitution; they want limited Government; less taxes and for Government to control and cut spending. They want to encourage people to be self reliant and less dependent on Government. On the other hand, the Statists want the United States to continue on the path to Bankruptcy with their out of control spending and their ‘Cradle to Grave’ ideology; wherein they coerce people to be more dependent on Government in order to garner their votes to stay in POWER. Whose side do you want to be on?

Occupy vs. the Tea Party

Some people and the Mainstream Media are comparing the Occupy movement with the Tea Party. They are groups of people, however they have different purposes. The Tea Party does not want America to be TRANSFORMED into a Socialist/Communist state, whereas, the Occupy crowd does. The Tea Party talks about self reliance and limited government, whereas the Occupy movement wants to end Capitalism and expand government. The Tea Party has been vilified by the Statists and the Mainstream Media, whereas the Occupy movement has been embraced by them.

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the Tea Party phony Astro-Turf and Nazi's. Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) blames the Tea Party for the high unemployment in the black community and she wants the Tea Party to 'Go to Hell.' Representative Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) echoed Waters' remarks, saying that African-Americans are “totally frustrated, and people need to know that the president feels their pain.”   Actor Morgan Freeman   says the Tea Party is racist because they want to get rid of Barack Hussein Obama because he is black. Vice President Joe Biden thinks Patriotic Tea Party members are “Terrorists” and “Barbarians.”  The Statists and so-called Mainstream Media are emphasizing the congressional dysfunction for the S&P downgrade of the United States’ credit rating blaming the Tea Party and the Tea Party Republicans. Jimmy Hoffa Jr., head of the Teamsters, called the Tea Party Patriots ‘sons of bitches” and threatened to take them out.

The Tea Party are not Nazi's, racists, Astro-turf, terrorists, barbarians, hobbits or sons of bitches; they are true Patriots who care about this country. The rabble who protest the Tea Party Patriots have been indoctrinated by the liberal schools, so-called Mainstream Media, Union Bosses, and other Statists to look to the Government for their well being.

It is Barack Hussein Obama and his Regime who want to transform America into a Socialist state. The Statists are the one's calling for Socialism.   The   Statists are the one's aligning themselves with the “Occupy” movement. The Statists promote an ever increasing amount of people dependent on Government so they can stay in POWER. It is akin to slavery in that the people relying on the Government need only pull the D lever for their Masters come election time, instead of working the fields. Hopefully, these people will learn the errors of their ways and join the Tea Party in turning this country around from the fallacies of the Obama Regime and the other Statists.

 Tea Party Patriots are Americans who are frustrated over what has been happening in Washington and want to do something about it. Tea Party people are Patriotic Americans who are concerned about their country. Tea Party people want their leaders to follow the Constitution; they want limited Government; less taxes and for Government to control and cut spending.

The 2010 election was a referendum on Barack Hussein Obama and NOT an endorsement of the Republican Party. The Republicans were willing to go back to the wilderness after the 2008 election. Boehner would NOT be Speaker of the House without the Tea Party and it's unfortunate that people are put into leadership positions, because it's their turn, not necessarily because they are leaders. My choice would have been Michelle Bachmann. The 2010 election was just the beginning; the people need to continue to elect Conservative, Constitutional Patriots and FIRE the Statists and the RINO's.

Hypotheticals

 In the Republican Presidential debate Representative Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question about whether a 30 year old man should receive intense medical treatment for six months, even though he has no health insurance?

Paul said people should not be forced to purchase healthcare insurance, however if they need treatment they need to be responsible for paying the bill. Many people did not like his response. I happen to agree with Paul; Mr. Hypothetical should receive the treatment, but also needs to pay for it.  

 Speaking of hypotheticals, lets take that same 30 year old who has now recovered. He now goes into a fancy restaurant and orders the most expensive meal with the most expensive bottle of wine. After completing the meal he tells the waiter he has no means to pay for the meal. What should the restaurant do? After all, people need to eat to sustain life. Should restaurants be responsible for feeding people for free? Of course not. The man needs to be held responsible for his actions and pay for his meal. Therefore, the man should have to pay for the medical treatment, just like he would have to pay for his meal.

Then again, people need to be reminded that Obamacare is about control not healthcare. 

The Tea Party against the Regime

The Tea Party represents people that are frustrated with the direction this country is headed and want to do their part to try and stop it. They are not Nazi's, Astro-turf, Terrorists, Barbarians, or Hobbits. They are not sons of bitches. They are true Patriots who care about this country. The rabble who protest the Tea Party Patriots have been indoctrinated by the liberal schools, so-called Mainstream Media, Union Bosses, and the Statists to look to the Government for their well being. They do not even realize they are being used.

The Statists promote an ever increasing amount of people dependent on Government so they can stay in POWER. It is akin to slavery in that the people relying on the Government need only pull the D lever for their Masters come election time, instead of working the fields.

Then there is the unholy alliance between the Government and the Public Service Employee Unions, where the Democrat/Statists gave into the demands of the Unions in return for campaign contributions, so that the Democrat/Statists can stay in power; so the Democrat/Statists can give into the demands of the Unions and so on. Some of the demands were pension and lifetime healthcare benefits, which the employees paid little to nothing into and now the States and Cities cannot afford. In other words, the Statists promised some things they could not deliver on.

 Barack Hussein Obama is supposed to be the "Leader" of the Free World, but he is NOT a leader; he is a Community Agitator. Obama is a divisive and polarizing figure who pits one group of Americans against another and is the one fomenting the tension and hostility against the Tea Party Patriots. Obama is a BULLY and a LIAR, who uses scare tactics and threats against the American people. His policies and rhetoric endangers America. Hopefully, these people will learn the errors of their ways and join the Tea Party in turning this country around from the fallacies of the Obama Regime and the other Statists.

Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood

According to an August 13, 2011 article by Gulag Bound, Barack Hussein Obama has three members of the Muslim Brotherhood working for him. Obama has also opened formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood and wants to support them with $3 billion. 

As a State Senator Obama said, we must have empathy for the jihadists who attacked this country on 9/11. He also invited the Muslim Brotherhood to attend his 2009 speech in Cairo, Egypt. The same Muslim Brotherhood who call for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within. The Muslim Brotherhood says the White House will become the Muslim House. They state, we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want. Sharia law is not compatible with the US Constitution; then again the Obama Regime does not care too much about the Constitution either and wants to change it. The Muslim Brotherhood is a mortal enemy of our civilization. Their slogan says so openly, their way is Jihad, and their method is death.

  

If Barack Hussein Obama has members of the Muslim Brotherhood working for him; and if decides to support the Muslim Brotherhood with $3 billion would he not be violating his oath of office he swore to, which is to uphold and defend the Constitution? Would this act be considered giving aid and comfort to the enemy, which would be considered an act of Treason? The President can be impeached for an act of Treason. If he decides to go through with supporting our enemy, The Muslim Brotherhood, will Congress have the COURAGE to impeach him? Obama shows weakness to the world, thus endangers Americans.

Cowardly Don Imus Attacks Sarah Palin

August 4, 2011 Don Imus was talking to Alan Colmes on his Show and called Sarah Palin ‘stupid’ for her remarks that if the Tea Party were real terrorists Obama would hang out with them. And of course Colmes agreed. Imus called her remarks nonsense. Just because Imus wants to bury his head about Obama, possibly for fear of being called a racist again, does not make it so.  Her remarks were not nonsense, they are the TRUTH. Barack Hussein Obama’s mentor is the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. She had the courage to stand up to the attacks on the Tea Party, unlike the gutless Don Imus, who cow-towed to Al (Not So Sharp) Sharpton when he made his remarks about the girl’s basketball team. Don Imus is a COWARD and the STUPID one, because he is apparently blind to the fact of what the Obama Regime and the Statists are doing to this country.  

The New Crystal Meth Law is Bad Medicine

Unincorporated Jefferson County and other Missouri cities have enacted new laws requiring citizens to obtain a prescription for cold remedies that contain pseudo-ephedrine. There is also a push for a statewide law to do the same thing. The pharmacies, drug stores, retail outlets and convenience stores that sell cold remedies that contain pseudo-ephedrine will have to keep them behind the counter, as well as needing the prescription for them.

            Requiring law abiding citizens to obtain a prescription to receive what used to be over-the-counter cold and allergy medications is not a Conservative, limited government approach to address the problem of “Crystal Meth.” A similar argument is made by “gun control advocates,” who want more and more restrictions regarding guns placed on law-abiding citizens and businesses.

Once again law abiding citizens will be punished because some government bureaucrat passes a law without thinking about the unintended consequences. Some of the unintended consequences are: People will need a prescription to obtain these drugs, which will cost time and money by having to make an appointment, go to the doctor, pay for the visit and then pick up the item. People may not want to go through the hassle of getting the medicine and may end up getting sicker because of it; necessitating a trip to the hospital.  There will be an extra burden on the businesses by having to place the products behind the counter and check the prescriptions. Then there is the loss of revenue to the businesses and the municipalities that enact the law because people will shop elsewhere.

            What is the reasoning for passing these laws?  Could it be these politicians/ lawmakers are looking for the easy fix? Are they possibly thinking let’s make it difficult for these illegal drug makers to obtain the chemicals needed to make crystal meth? They claim pseudo-ephedrine is the one essential ingredient in making methamphetamine and this will stop the meth problem. Nevertheless, what will prevent the illegal drug makers from breaking into homes or robbing pharmacies to get that ingredient? Could the illegal drug makers possibly change the formula where pseudo-ephedrine is no longer needed by replacing it with another ingredient?  What about the other ingredients and household chemicals such as: acetone, alcohol, anhydrous ammonia, battery acid, benzene, camera batteries, diet aids, drain cleaner, ether (starting fluid), gasoline additives/rubbing alcohol, iodine, iodine crystals, muriatic acid, paint thinner, phenyl acetone, red phosphorous, rock, table, or Epsom salt, Red Devil Lye, stained coffee filters, toluene (found in brake cleaner), white gasoline and wooden matches. that makes up crystal meth; should there then be a law to ban or restrict those items?

There has been an increase in the use of heroin in this county and this law does nothing to stop that. Some people try to make a correlation between the increases in the use of heroin with the selling of pseudoephedrine to illegal drug makers, because they use the money to purchase heroin. I do not see the correlation. Although some heroin users sell drugs to obtain other drugs, they also get their money from robberies, burglaries, prostitution and shoplifting. In fact, many stores do not prosecute shoplifters and these companies become enablers for the drug addicts to get their money.  

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office reported making 226 meth lab busts in 2010; 217 in 2009 and 93 meth lab busts as of April 30, 2011. They should be commended for that, however, speaking as a former police officer, who made numerous arrests including drug violations, that’s their job. There are laws on the books to deal with illegal drug making and those laws should be strenuously enforced. The way to combat the drug problem is to go after the drug dealers and producers.  Law-abiding citizens and businesses should not be punished or penalized to correct the illegal drug trade and therefore, laws requiring a prescription to obtain pseudoephedrine products should not be enacted. Let’s go after the “BAD GUYS.”  

Statists and Gun Rights

 Representative Carolyn McCarthy Democrat/Statist of New York, a staunch supporter of restricting gun rights said the lax gun laws in America led to the mass shooting in Norway. What the more restrictive gun laws in Norway did not stop it? In Norway a license is required to own a gun, and the owner must provide a written statement saying why he or she wants one. What, a criminal is not going to LIE? 

Some people believe it is up to the police to protect us. As a former police officer, I say this is a false premise. Policemen usually respond after the crime and do follow-up work to catch the perpetrator.

 Others believe in more restrictive gun laws and still others believe in an outright ban on them. You’ve seen the signs in America. It’s a picture of a gun encircled with a line slashed through it. They are everywhere. These signs are in schools, churches, hospitals, government buildings, and businesses. They’re supposed to represent a universal message stating that No Guns Are Allowed i.e. a ‘Gun Free’ zone on the premises. Yet in the criminal mind it represents a place where there will be little or no resistance, in other words a Shooting Gallery, because criminals do not care about laws.

In Norway the police were unable to get to the shooting site while it was occurring, because they did not have a boat or helicopter. In the Virginia Tech shooting the Media and a number of heavily armed police officers were on campus as seen in the video when the shootings were occurring, because you could hear the gunshots coming from inside the school at that time. Nevertheless, having more policemen on the scene as seen in the News video did not prevent Cho from murdering those innocent people.

The restrictive gun laws in Norway did not prevent the massacre from happening. Being a gun free zone did not stop the massacre as in Virginia Tech. There are EVIL people in the world who mean us harm. People need to be able to defend themselves from these evildoers. If the people in Norway or the students at Virginia Tech were armed the carnage may have been limited or at least they would have had a chance to protect themselves and possibly take out the shooter. 

 People have a God given right to be able to protect themselves and their family. I say they have a duty to do so. This means people should be able to arm themselves anywhere. These rights are protected under the Second Amendment of the Constitution in America, however several countries in the UN, as well as FOOLS like Representative Carolyn McCarthy do NOT think so. That is why Patriotic Americans need to stand up and fight for the right to protect themselves and their family. 

Who are the ADULTS

On July 29, 2011 Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer (the Three Stooges) held a Press conference after the US House passed the Boehner Debt Ceiling Bill. They said the Boehner Bill was tabled by a bi-partisan vote 59-41, because it is a catastrophe and would roil the markets. The six Republicans were: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

 They touted they were the adults in the room and this was a serious matter. They claimed Reid’s bill was the adult bill and must be passed for the sake of the country; all the while they were grinning and snickering during the Press conference. So, who are the ADULTS? And what was so FUNNY? The majority of the American people do not think this is a laughing matter.

 They talked about the need to ‘compromise,’ however a Statists’ definition of ‘compromise’ is doing it their way.  They said there should be an up or down vote on raising the Debt Ceiling. Ironically, Harry Reid and the Statists did not do an up or down vote on Boehners Bill. They also emphasized that Boehner’s Bill was voted to be tabled on a bi-partisan vote and that is why the Republicans should go along with the Reid Bill. Yet, when Obamacare was rammed through there was bi-partisan opposition to it in the House. So why did Reid then proceed to do parliamentary procedures (trickery) to get Obamacare passed?

They said the Republican’s were playing politics and the Debt Ceiling has to be raised. They justified it by saying it has been raised in the past. Yet, in 2006 Barack Hussein Obama and all the other Democrat/Statists voted against raising the debt ceiling. They were right then for the wrong reason, because I guess it’s alright for them to play politics. The debt debate should have been handled then but wasn't.


Why have debt ceilings?  A debt ceiling is supposed to force Congress to spend within their means; yet what good is it if every time it is reached the Statists vote to increase it?  This country has a spending problem, which has been exacerbated since the Democrat Statist’s and Obama had the power.


The Tea Party caucus was sent to Washington to change the way things are done in Washington. Nevertheless, the Tea Party caucus is being vilified by Obama, the Democrat/Statist’s, RINO’s and the so- called Mainstream Media as being intransigent and unwilling to compromise. The Tea Party caucus is trying to do the responsible thing and get control of the National debt. Therefore, it is the Tea Party caucus who ARE the ADULTS in the room.    

Be Careful What You Wish For

Barack Hussein Obama and other Statists are talking about invoking the 14^th Amendment claiming it gives the President the authority to raise the Debt Ceiling and by-pass Congress. I guess they are referring to Section 4 of the Amendment which states: …The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned…


Who is questioning the validity of the debt? No one. Many people are questioning the amount of debt and the need to cut spending. The debt has been incurred and needs to be paid. The Government has the money to pay the debts that would not cause a default without raising the debt ceiling.


I am not an attorney, however I can read and I do not see where in the 14^th Amendment it gives the President the authority to by-pass Congress and raise the Debt Ceiling on his own. We are not living in a Dictatorship, at least not yet.


Nevertheless, since Obama and the Statists want to invoke the Constitution they may want to check out the following: Section 3 of the 14^th Amendment states: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.


Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution states: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

It is considered an Act of Treason to give aid and comfort to our enemies. The Obama Regime has been funding the Taliban and wants to fund the Muslim Brotherhood. The Taliban and the   Muslim Brotherhood are enemies of the United States. The Muslim Brotherhood is a mortal enemy of our civilization. Their slogan says so openly, their way is Jihad, and their method is death. The Muslim Brotherhood calls for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within.  Nevertheless, Barack Hussein Obama has opened formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood and wants to support them with $3 billion.  

Therefore, wouldn’t this act be considered giving aid and comfort to the enemy and considered an act of Treason?   Wouldn’t Obama be violating his oath of office he swore to, which is to uphold and defend the Constitution? After all, the primary responsibility of Government is to protect its citizens from its enemies. Furthermore, the Constitution specifically states the President can be impeached for an act of Treason. If Obama decides to go through with supporting our enemy, The Muslim Brotherhood, will Congress have the COURAGE to impeach him?  

James Madison & the KISS Principle

Apparently, James Madison believed in the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Principle when it came to governing, because he wrote in Federalist 62: … “The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessing of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?

Another effect of public instability is the unreasonable advantage it gives to the sagacious, the enterprising, and the moneyed few over the industrious and uniformed mass of the people. Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue, or in any way affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change, and can trace its consequences; a harvest, reared not by themselves, but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow-citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few, not for the many.

In another point of view, great injury results from an unstable government. The want of confidence in the public councils damps every useful undertaking, the success and profit of which may depend on a continuance of existing arrangements. What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not but that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed? What farmer or manufacturer will lay himself out for the encouragement given to any particular cultivation or establishment, when he can have no assurance that his preparatory labors and advances will not render him a victim to an inconstant government? In a word, no great improvement or laudable enterprise can go forward which requires the auspices of a steady system of national policy.

But the most deplorable effect of all is that diminution of attachment and reverence which steals into the hearts of the people towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable without possessing a certain portion of order and stability.”

Media's Love Affair with Barack Hussein Obama

Stephen Marche, a reporter for the Esquire wrote, "How can we not love Obama?" This reporter is delusional. How can this reporter be so WRONG? Then again, many of the reporters on the left aka. The Mainstream Media are mesmerized by BarackHussein Obama as if he was the Messiah.

I do not love Barack Hussein Obama and there are many other Patriotic Americans who feel the same way. Obama is a Community Agitator. He is a divisive and polarizing figure who pits one group of Americans against another. Obama is a BULLY and a LIAR, who uses scare tactics and threats against the American people. His policies and rhetoric shows weakness to the World, which endangers America. He likes to call himself a progressive; however that is an inaccurate description of him. Obama is a Statist, and oppressor or tyrant. He used water as a means to bribe two representatives from California for their votes on healthcare, which was a despicable act that dictators do to their people. Healthcare was passed because John Boehner signed onto the Stupak (Stupid) Amendment; otherwise it would have gone down to defeat. So, Boehner should get the credit or blame for Obamacare passing.

Barack Hussein Obama happened to be President when Osama Bin Laden was located and killed. The MSM were drooling all over themselves that Bin Laden was killed under this Democrat President calling it a “gutsy” call. ObaME has said it was his mission to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. Therefore, it was NOT a gutsy call, it was the only call. Nevertheless, it took ObaME 16 hours to supposedly make the decision to get Bin Laden, after knowing he was in the compound since August 2010. Why didn’t the MSM ask him what took him so long? When you look at the picture of the War Room on that day Obama looked like the smallest person in the room.

Adolph Hitler was idolized by the German people and many others around the World. Hitler like Obama also made the cover of Time Magazine prior to the World realizing what a Monster he was. One of the problems this country is having is reporters like Marche and the Mainstream Media are writing puff pieces like this on Obama that some people may believe is true.

United States National Debt as reported from the Treasury Department

November 2006 .......8.5 Trillion Democrats win over Congrees

January 2007 ..........8.7 Trillion Democrats in charge of Congress

November 2007 ........9     Trillion

January 2008 ..........9.2  Trillion

November 2008 .......10.5Trillion Democrats & Obama in Control

January 2009 ..........10.6 Trillion

January 2010 ..........12.3 Trillion

November 2010 ........13.7 Trillion Republicans win over US House

January 2011 ...........14     Trillion Republicans control US House

July 2011 ................14.3 Trillion

Under the Obama Regime 3.4 Trillion Dollars was added to the debt in two years. 5.6 Trillion since the Democrats took control. Nevertheless, Barack Hussein Obama wants to blame the debt crisis on George W. Bush.

Obama and the Military

ObaME doesn't care. Barack Hussein Obama gave a speech regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden. He was reading from the teleprompter when he read the words,"These efforts weigh on me every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded." After all, Obama is running for reelection. 

Nevertheless, it was a spontaneous statement when he was wining about wearing a sport coat on Super Bowl Sunday and being in a bubble, which shows his true feelings.

Bill O'Reilly interviewed Obama on Super Bowl Sunday and asked him, "What's the worst part of the job?" Obama stated, The worst part of the job is he has to wear a jacket on Super Bowl Sunday and being in the bubble, with eyes constantly on him, where he is not able to have a spontaneous conversation with someone. A pathetic and pitiful response, but what do you expect coming from a narcissistic elitist Community Agitator.

Obama gave the order to take Bin Laden out, which was a good thing, however maybe for the wrong reason. Obama wanted to show how macho he was. Obama wanted/wants to close down GITMO and is against the enhanced interrogation methods that helped get the info to take out Bin Laden. This hunt for Osama has been going on for 10 years and it was the Special Forces that did the work not Obama. 

The MSM were drooling all over themselves that Bin Laden was killed under this Democrat President calling it a “gutsy” call. ObaME has said it was his mission to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden. Therefore, it was NOT a gutsy call, it was the only call. Nevertheless, ObaME took 16 hours to supposedly make the decision to get Bin Laden after knowing he was in the compound since August 2010. What took him so long?

A "GUTSY CALL" was when Todd Beamer, along with some fellow passengers on flight 93 made the decision to fight against the jihadists and he said, “Are you guys ready? Let's roll!" The operator heard Beamer's words after he dropped the phone, leaving the line open. 
Obama said, "No need to spike the football," as his reason for not disclosing the photos of the deceased Usama Bin Laden, yet he goes to New York to dance in the end zone. Then his administration sends out a cheesy email to a few select families of victims of 9/11to meet with him for a photo-op. Classless.

Let's not forget the Obama regime is still investigating the CIA personnel who did the enhanced interrogation methods on some of these terrorists. They also came after some NAVY Seals who supposedly gave a jihadist a fat lip when he was captured. This jihadist was responsible for burning alive some Blackwater Contractors and then hung their remains from a bridge. I guess these Seals that killed Bin Laden did so because if they would have tried to take him alive they might have gave him a fat lip.

Obama's actions speak of what he truly believes of the military. Remember, just a few weeks ago Obama wasn’t going to pay the troops if there was a Government shutdown. He was going to use the military as pawns or a shield. He signed a memo on 4/7/2011 stating if there was a Government shutdown the troops would have their payments delayed, contrary to what was allowed in the past by other Presidents. Obama floated the idea that military personnel wounded in battle should have their private medical insurance pay for their medical bills. Obama prosecuted the Navy Seals for a bogus claim of abuse by a terrorist/jihadist. Now, he has Michelle Obama and Jill Biden doing commercials about the American people supporting our troops. 

Yet, on Memorial Day Weekend it was learned that Obama and his Regime wants to cut military spending, including pay and health benefits to the soldiers, because he wants to be fiscally responsible. Of course he does, how else do you think he is going to get the billions to give to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Nazis? 

Our soldiers should be paid on time and soldiers who served in the military should have the best medical care provided to them as a benefit for serving and protecting this great country. Thanks to everyone who served and is serving in our military and thanks Special Forces. Remember also, the troops who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives to defend our FREEDOM.
