Dear Patriots:

Dear Patriots:

William G. Burmer

Here I am staring at a blank page with a deluge of thoughts racing through my mind regarding this past election and other related events wondering; What to Say? My wife has turned off the TV, radio and stopped reading the paper. She is outraged by the “Monday morning quarterbacking” by the same commentators as before the election filling the air with their swill of shouda, cuda, wouda their words lacking any true foundation, reason, or solutions. I am cynical enough to believe that George Soros and his billions had something to do with the Election outcome; I also believe that the truth of it will eventually show its twisted tentacle’s.
We are lectured that elections have consequences. Where are the consequences for treason, swearing an oath falsely, lying to the American public, usurping Congress’s role as law maker via executive orders, supporting foreign governments (IE the UN) against the Laws of the United States of America? At the very least President Obama should be impeached, followed by disallowing him any benefits of office after impeachment. 
It is clear there is nothing revealing, nothing encouraging, indeed nothing coming from any of the news sources, or poles, that is not already known or suspected. All commentary seems to be bent on compromise, or capitulation; none of which appeals to any of us who have an abiding love of Country and our Constitution.
Indeed, principle and character are lacking in most of the news media, the GOP overall and missing altogether from the DNC as it pertains too many of our elected leadership currently residing in Washington D.C. Each would do well to (at a minimum) consider getting back to basics. By this I mean, reading our history our legacy as a nation, and abiding the Constitution and honoring their oath of office. Objectively this is the only real solution to our nation's dilemma under the reign of OBAMA. I personally despise this man like I despise Satan himself.
On one hand Politics has become a dirty word, especially so today for those who have ears to hear and eyes that see. It reeks of back door dealing, bribery, debauchery of law, money and power over the people, rather than being public servants of the people. On the other hand there are a seemingly increasing majority of citizens who are in need of a large dose of education. These folks need to have their blood filtered by dialysis to rid themselves of the freebie, gimme, and entitlement toxins infecting their minds, bodies and souls.
When I consider what our founders went through to create what is America and its Constitution, seem pretty academic. Their beginnings were not unlike the divisions we struggle with as seen the last four years. There was the Loyalist who did not want any change in the colonies as they existed under King George III, during the Revolution, as they a owed their jobs to the King. There were the Tories who supported the idea of independence but opposed war with England; both would be classed as “Today’s Moderates” leaning towards counterrevolution, classicism, unionism, liberalism and monarchism. Today their ideology is called Progressivism, this makes them feel less like the Communists they truly are.
Finally there were the Colonists who desired separation from England and the King, those patriots such as George Washington, Nathan Hale, and Ben Franklin who became a part of Americas Founders, who won our independence from England and created a constitutional limited government. Today they would be classed as Conservatives, Tea Party members, and capitalists’.
Faith, love of country, and an abiding love of God and his principles are which made America and its Government coveted around the World for more than 200 years; those ingredients, to a greater degree than any other time in the history of America, is what are missing today. They need a restoration, even a resurrection of them in some cases, planted deep into the hearts and minds of all Americans.
I have asked the question in my own mind as of late’ where are our leaders who possess selfless character, the moral integrity and education that possessed our founders; where are the American people who of like manner that will indulge the influence of a refined education, faith in God and Morality, where is the thoughtful reason and character that will make America great once more?
My humble opinion, in sum says a return to religious principle is the key to our success in these regards. We know there are good people available, it may take some serious house cleaning, but it can be done. James Madison once wrote: “The happy union of these states is a wonder; their Constitution is a miracle’ the example the hope of liberty throughout the world. Woe to the ambition that would meditate the destruction of either!’ (1829 while serving at the Virginia Constitutional Convention, underlining added) America is to be the example to the World we live in, not to become like the rest of the World our Founders fought to escape.
There can be no compromise or capitulation in any degree with regards to our Constitution or its Godly principles. To part from it will spin America irretrievably back to the monarchies and dictatorships seen around the world. Evil must be defeated in America where ever it exists. There are no other options.

Lost Faith


Lost Faith
Kevin Bryant 

The election is over and Obama has won a second term. 12 years ago, America would not have elected Barack Obama president much less even re-elected him with the shape America is in now. Obama spent 4 years blaming everything on George Bush and the Republican Party. Who is he going to blame now? 

When FOX news had the returns at 163 to 163, I knew right then with certainty that Obama was going to win re-election. It was right then that I lost my faith in the American people. It was also right then that I felt an overwhelming desire in my stomach to get sick and I did.  

We have gone from a nation of people that strives to succeed to a nation of people that wants success handed to them like it is owed to them somehow. Just writing this, I again have that sickening feeling in my stomach. I know America could have erased the effects of 4 years of Obama in office. We can’t erase the damage now. Everyone that voted for Obama sold their freedom, their rights and the soul of America to the government for a free handout. The problem is, those handouts aren’t free. Someone has to pay for them.  

Every great republic throughout history sold the soul of their country and their own freedoms for a slice of the treasury because they felt they were entitled. November 6th, 2012 America joined those nations.  

I don’t want to see what the future holds for America because history time and again has already showed us, Rome, Great Britain, France, Greece, the list goes on and on. America will survive another 4 years of an Obama presidency but she will never again be the economic leader of the world or have the world’s greatest military. We will no longer see people wanting to come to America to be treated for their medical conditions and we will see Americans going overseas for treatments they used to get here, as long as they can afford it. 

The majority of our laws will no longer come from those we elected to represent us. Our laws will come from the Department of Health and Human Services, the will come from Environmental Protection Agency and most of all, they will come from the United Nations. Yes, the U.N. already has climate change treaties drawn up and the Law of the Sea Treaty just waiting for an eager Obama to sign. The U.N. in conjunction with the EPA will mandate cap –n- trade and the U.N. is already set to impose taxes on all of us to pay for them in accordance with their treaty and the EPA. Rationing of healthcare will start almost immediately once Obamacare fully kicks in because there won’t be enough money to pay for it.  

No, America sold out for an additional 6 weeks of unemployment benefits, a free cell phone, union auto manufacturing jobs that are already set to go overseas & to South America.  

I have faith in God. I have faith in family. I have faith in my friends. I lost my faith in the American government in 1988 and now in 2012, I have lost faith in the majority of the American people. When, if ever you, the masses that traded our national soul so you can have a free Obama phone decide you made a mistake and wish to fight once again for your rights and your freedoms, maybe I’ll help, maybe I’ll be living in South America by then, who knows.  

What I do know is, I have no faith in 51% of the American people and I will no longer fight for your rights and your freedoms. You sold out our country and our way of life and if you don’t care about our nation, why the hell should I care about you.

Things We Learned Last Night


Things We Learned Last Night
Al Ritter 

If it is true that voters in general are stupid, then those politicians are elected by their peers. Last night was a true demonstration of the old adage. “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.”

Let’s review what America confirmed for Barack Obama:

It was confirmed last night that America agrees with Obamacare, and it should never be repealed.

It was confirmed last night that America believes that Obama is the best man to fix the economy.

It was confirmed that Catholics believe that Obama’s policy trumps their religious belief of Pro-Life.

It was confirmed that America should be just one country in many rather than the most powerful in the world.

It was confirmed last night that bullying and intimidation is not only ok, but should be used exclusively to get one’s way.

It was confirmed last night that lying is a perfectly acceptable means to an end.

It was confirmed last night that the oppressive backwards way of life known as Sharia Law will not only be accepted in America, but be woven into our laws.

It was confirmed that America not only approves of the administration’s handling of foreign policy but that continued deaths of our personnel is acceptable.

It was confirmed last night that America approves of our porous border with Mexico, and the Presidential executive order of “dream act” will continue.

It was confirmed last night that the national debt will NOT lower but only increase.

It was confirmed last night that printed money will not only continue to happen, but increase in the next four years.

It was confirmed last night that taxation rate will increase for the wealthy.

It was confirmed last night that the racial divide in America will not only continue but increase.

It was confirmed last night that laws in polling places will not only be ignored but never prosecuted.

It was confirmed last night that the DOJ will continue to be the enforcement arm of the Executive branch, and will never comply with congressional demands.

It was confirmed last night that only certain laws will be enforced while others won’t.

It was confirmed last night that as long as he remains a Senator, Harry Reid will NEVER submit a budget.

It was confirmed last night that extravagant spending by the first family will continue while America suffers.

It was confirmed last night that an already record number food stamps will be increasing.

It was confirmed last night that record numbers of unemployed will continue, and it can’t be fixed.

It was confirmed last night that investment of public money into private industry companies will continue especially into failing alternative energies.

It was confirmed last night that gasoline above $3.00 a gallon is not Obama’s fault.

It was confirmed last night that electric production costs will necessarily skyrocket with the elimination of coal as a fuel.

It was confirmed last night that an eventual repeal of the second amendment is on the horizon, and a total ban on guns will shortly follow.

It was confirmed last night that social programs will increase, drastically increasing the number of the users versus the number of producers.

It was confirmed last night that compromising national security for personal political gain is acceptable.

It was confirmed last night that REVENGE is an acceptable reason to vote.

It was confirmed last night that Joe Biden is better than Paul Ryan to be one seat from the Presidency.

It was confirmed last night that it is acceptable for the President to make laws through Executive Order rather than legally pass it through the legislative process.

It was confirmed last night that “cap and trade” will be instituted through EPA guidelines rather than legislative process.

It was confirmed last night that the military budget will now be drastically slashed thus making us far less secure.

It was confirmed last night that the growth and size of government will increase.

It was confirmed last night that the size of our nuclear armaments will decrease.

It was confirmed last night that Iran WILL get a nuclear bomb.

It was confirmed last night that Israel will now be on their own surrounded by Muslim countries bent on destroying them.

It was confirmed last night that the Administration will be giving the UN more power to rule over our Constitution.

It was confirmed last night that government take overs of failed companies will not only continue but necessarily increase as defaults continue.

It was confirmed last night that real estate foreclosures will continue, and the building industry will continue to stagnate.

It was confirmed last night that Administration’s secrecy will continue and transparency will be nonexistent.

It was confirmed last night that the gradual movement to socialism will continue.

It was confirmed last night that personal freedoms will continue to disappear.

It was confirmed last night that Executive Orders will necessarily increase in the Administration’s last term.

It was confirmed last night that more liberals in the Supreme Court will be not only be a possibility but an actuality.

It was confirmed last night that it is acceptable for America to become a godless country.

It was confirmed last night that there are no boundaries on the definition of a conventional marriage.

It was confirmed last night that America now approves of the idea of “leading from behind.”

 

I must admit I was totally shocked at the results of the election last night. These last four years have been the most oppressive for conservatives in recent history. Blatant violations of the Constitution have marred our glorious history. I can’t help but to think about the words from Benjamin Franklin when asked by a woman on the street…….”what have you given us Mr. Franklin?”……..to which he replied……”We have given you a Republic ma’am….if you can keep it.” Every great democracy has destroyed itself from within, given time. I fear we are well on our way down that destructive path. I pray there will be a way back from the abyss.

Last night has left me shaking my head…….people with outstretched hands will ALWAYS outnumber those with the items to fill them. I have never been so disgusted in our government, and so disappointed by our citizens.

You will have to excuse me now; I’m on my way to shop for guns and ammo!

Four Years of Wasted Opportunity


Four Years of Wasted Opportunity
Al Ritter
 
Here I sit in the last two days before the election feeling cautiously optimistic of the outcome on Tuesday. For the last 6 years I have devoted my time to writing some 1700 article on the destructive path that the left has taken to “fundamentally transform” our country. I must admit that I have been missing in action the last few months, but my conservative pals Kevin and Grant, have filled my shoes admirably.
My anger over that silent period has grown to the point that if I wrote anything it would have make me look as though I contracted Tourette’s Syndrome over those inactive months. I find it curious how the Democrats can blindly follow a President that constantly lies, and a Senate leader that not only doesn’t lead but refuses to follow the letter of the law and submit a budget! They are both narcissistic megalomaniacs that are not only divisive but totally hypocritical. Past speeches by both Obama and Reid have shown them in their own words condemning G.W.Bush for the very same thing they are doing now…..except they are doing it even more to excess!
I find it shocking and sad that the first Black President of the United States has chosen not only divide America into black and white, but has decided to instruct his Attorney General to pick and choose cases based on race rather than the law. I think that white America has seen this administrations inclination to divide America based on race alone. It seems sad to me that the gains that were made in the race relations area of the 60’s have been largely undone by this President. I think race relations have suffered the largest setback due mainly to Obama’s policies.
The Economy: ……good lord where do I start? The massive increase in the debt way over and above Bush’s “mess he inherited” has gone wildly out of control! Even Obama himself has claimed that the debt is “non-sustainable” and yet he keeps adding to it. The idea that you have to spend money to get the economy has gone to the extreme that every logical thinking person thinks the premise is laughable. Harry Reid absolutely refuses to follow the law and keep raising the debt ceiling without so much as submitting a budget in the last almost four years now, he either needs to step down as speaker and hand the reins to a more moderate democrat will to actually work for a living……..or he needs to be forcibly removed. Either way I seriously hope Romney has a plan on how to deal with him!
Security of our country: Obama and Hillary Clinton have been responsible for grievous breeches in security over the killing of Osama Bin Laden and also the Benghazi situation. The outing of Seal team Six was a death warrant to them and also their families. A Seal Team Six NATO Helicopter was specifically targeted and shot down killing 22 operators in Afghanistan. After the killing of Bin Laden Obama gave permission to have Hollywood producers and directors special access to not only sensitive areas of the Whitehouse but also sensitive details that are still considered to be top secret and haven’t been released to the public, yet the Hollywood elite that haven’t gotten security clearances have this information. All to make a Whitehouse propaganda film!
Operation Fast and Furious: All conservatives feel that Operation Fast and Furious was done to actually put guns in the hands of the Mexican cartel after Hillary misspoke in her first year as Secretary of State position when she claimed that 90% of all guns involved Cartel murders were purchased here in the United States. That was proven as wild exaggeration and so proof had to be offered….enter “Fast and Furious.” Liberals tried to put their best spin on the situation by once again claiming that it was a program started under George Bush which it was not. Fast and Furious was enacted by Obama in 2009 and has been nothing more than a program to put dangerous weapons in the hands of drug cartels to make it easier to pass gun legislation through either the UN or to repeal the second amendment…plain and simple. Obama, Clinton and Holder have direct blood on their hands from this debacle.
Obamacare: Passed under the cloak of darkness as a bill not considered under the law to be a “tax” therefore was considered as a reconciliation vote rather than a tax vote which would have required a 2/3 vote. When argued in the Supreme Court the vote’s legality it was never questioned only it’s worthiness to be called a tax. Judge Roberts entered his majority ruling based on the fact it was a tax. How can this be overturned now if Romney is elected? Who really knows at this point, but for an actual repeal in legislature it’s my feeling it would take a 2/3 vote in the senate to get it done.
Public Investment: When did this start? As far as my old mind works it started about three years ago when Obama’s war on any fossil fuel started. He offered grants and loans to PRIVATE companies from taxpayer money, to subsidize green energy projects he felt that important to his agenda. 90 billion has been thrown away as is now non recoverable as this companies have declared bankruptcy. To put things into perspective the damages from Hurricane Sandy are extensive but are reported to only be in the 10 to 20 billion dollar area. Those are real expenses that need real money not some poorly thought out investment idea.
Jobs: Obama’s policies have been a miserable failure in this area. President Clinton in 1993 signed a welfare reform act that formally took recipients off the unemployed roles once their benefits run out to make himself look better. The sad part is that once unemployment benefits were increased in duration the damage became more pronounced. President Obama claims he created 5.5 million jobs but the actual figures by governmental agencies are saying it has been closer to a 345,000 figure.
I could go on all day about Obama’s failed policies, but the sad part is, he wanted this job, he campaigned to get it and spend lots of money to be in the leader’s seat. What has never done is except responsibility of his actions and policies, instead blaming the last person in charge. Now he wants four more years to inflict damage on the American people in the way of failed policies. I am convinced this man could stand in the middle of Pennsylvania Ave. and murder 10 kittens on national TV and the media wouldn’t even cover it, his talking heads would deny it, and his followers would never even research it! I am convinced that politicians are right………….40% of America IS STUPID!.............Good luck tomorrow Mitt Romney, let’s bring the country back from the edge of the cliff!

12 Days


12 DAYS
Kevin Bryant 

12 days from me writing this, the general election will be in full swing. Myself, and I hope each and every person reading this will cast their vote for the next President of the United States. For regular old fashion conservatives like me, the choice is clear as to which candidate to vote for. For those new to the conservative world, thanks is great part by the actions of the current administration, realize we cannot and must not remain on the path we are currently going down, so too the choice is clear.  

What I doubt will happen, but is possible, those grassroots conservatives (Tea Party) who are unhappy with the choice of the GOP candidate, may decide to stay home because not voting for Romney may override their passion to oust Barack Obama. All those I know that are conservative by nature but are unhappy with Romney as a candidate, I have tried my best to persuade them to go and cast their votes. Unfortunately, I fear my daughter and her boyfriend still feel as though it’s not worth their time to vote though they both have felt Obama’s worsening economy hit their household.  

Romney may be in the lead but with 12 days to go anything can happen. We all know Obama doesn’t play by the unofficial conventional rules as all have played by for centuries. In 2007-2008 and even more so in 2012, we have witnessed the most disgusting, mean spirited campaigns waged against Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney. Lies after lies have been told by Obama and his campaign and administrative staffs for 5 years now. Almost all those lies have been hailed as truth by many in the mainstream media. Lies that have millions of seniors believing the GOP wants to end their Medicare and Social Security. Lies that have millions of young adults (and those soon to be young adults) believing the federal government is the answer for everything and to move America forward, even more power must be taken away from the states and the population as a while for the betterment of the country and create one central power.  

If this race was taking place not in 2012 but in 1972, Obama would lose this election worse than George McGovern did. If this race was taking place in 1984 instead of today, Obama would lose and likely not even win that one lone state like Michael Dukakis did. McGovern was a good and honorable man when he was alive and Dukakis still is a good and honorable man. They didn’t lose because of who they were; they lost because of their ideas for the future of America. If Obama wins this election, it’s not because of his vision for America. If Obama wins, it’s because there are not enough independent, free thinking Americans left who have not made up their minds to realize America can’t afford 4 more years of Obama.  

Talk to your kids. If you can convince them that Romney is the better choice, Romney will stand a good chance of becoming our 45th President and we won’t have to wait until 2016 see #45. If you can convince your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews that Romney is a better choice for America, each one of them stand a good chance of convincing another young adult not to vote for Obama, but vote for their own futures. Those disgruntled grassroots conservatives too may be persuaded to vote by you or perhaps your kids and grandkids. Anything is possible. 

12 days until the election. I still don’t feel secure in a Romney victory and neither should any of you.

Dear Patriots

Dear Patriots:
William G Burmer

RE: Fair Share.
 
When we hear the often quoted term “Fair Share” by much of the media and our politicians our immediate reaction is that they are referring to the “Have” and Have-nots,” or the Rich vs. Poor. This is a programmed response for us to be sure as it relates to our current political climate.

During World War II the term was attached to the need for rationing. No one, regardless of ability, could just walk into a shop and buy as much sugar, butter, or meat as you wanted, nor could you fill up your car with gasoline whenever you liked. The government introduced rationing because certain things were in short supply during the war, and rationing was the only way to make sure everyone got their “Fair Share,” as it was called at that time.

I looked the term up in the dictionary just for fun and discovered, as you might deduce that like any other term or word, its definition would depend upon what situation or condition it is used. OK. As you are aware the leftist politicians and media alike use the term to divide “We the People” as to how much we all pay in taxes under our current unconstitutional system

Let’s review the constitution Article 1, Section 8, clause 1. “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises. . .” and in Section 9 clause 4, “No Capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken.”

Be aware that the Congress is governed by delegated constitutionally authority to deal only with foreign nations which happens also to include Indian Tribes as they issue Tariffs , Duties and Excises charged on goods entering the individual States.

These two sections of the Constitution guaranteed the Sovereignty of the American Citizen from having to pay capitation or direct taxes. Taxes upon the Sovereign American Citizen were made indirect and the amount was determined by the Census. All Citizens regardless of personal wealth thus paid their “Fair Share” and nothing more.
 
Politicians would argue quite convincingly that Clause 4 of Section 9 was obliterated by the 16th Amendment, however, history correctly records that of the 35 states that supposedly ratified the amendment Most all failed to do so in its proper form, or it was not signed by the Governor, or both. History also records that Philander Knox knowingly and fraudulently certified that the 16th amendment was properly ratified February 25th 1913. He effectively terminated on paper the Peoples sovereignty, making them subjects of the very Government they created; turning the constitution figuratively, on its head.

It is also a historical fact that the Supreme Court has ruled in two different cases that the people retained their rights to sovereignty in 1886 by saying “Sovereignty itself is, of course, not subject to law. For it is the author and source of the law; but in our system, while sovereign powers are delegated to the agencies of government, sovereignty itself remains with the people, by whom and for whom all government exists and acts. And the law is the definition and limitation of power.” (The Supreme Law of the Land is the Constitution.)

In (1895), by a ruling of 5–4, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that the un-apportioned income taxes on interest, dividends and rents imposed by the Income Tax Act of 1894 were, in effect, direct taxes, and were unconstitutional because they violated the provision that direct taxes be apportioned. As late as 1926 the Supreme Court re-affirmed in Bowers v. Kerbaugh-Empire Co., 271 U.S. 170 , the 16th Amendment did not change any part of the Congresses Constitutional powers to tax.

So, my T-Party friends, our next step, after the elections this November, our goal ought to be to reclaim our rights of Sovereignty over our Constitution and remind our Legislators of their duty with regards to Article 1, Section 8 Clause 1, and Section 9, Clause 4 as originally framed. We will also need to repeal the 16th and the 17th Amendments. This will be no easy task without a united effort.

For those who are not aware our original U.S. Constitution gave state governments a strong voice in the national government by requiring them to select U.S. Senators to serve much like ambassadors today in foreign countries. Thus the U.S. Senator was created to be a political look out between state government interests and national government interests. This ability along with the 10th amendment made it possible for the individual States to have a form of veto power over the Federal Government’s ability to impose unjust authority over matters of social policy and taxation. The 17th Amendment in actual effect took away the states power to protect itself, and their Citizens from Federal tyranny. Today I think those differences are self evident such as we have seen in Arizona.

In Conclusion My Fair share means that all Americans have a right to equal opportunity under the Constitution, not equal outcomes; further, and most importantly, Fair Share means all American Citizens would pay the same apportioned tax, lastly you can save or invest your surplus’s in your own future Like Mitt Romney or any other Capitalist.  

Did you notice that Fair Share under the Constitution does not include IRS intercession? Did you also know that the IRS is in fact one of those foreign entities alluded to in Article 1, Section 8? The non citizen on the other hand would be subjects of the IRS (Their Foreign) just thought you ought to know.

I have studied these things for over 20 years; some call us Constitutionalists, government protestors and conspiracy freaks. I can tell you that if this were 1776 we would be on the side of George Washington and the Continental army. On the 17th day of September, 1787 our founders gave us our Constitution, a Republic, and our liberty. Today our duty is to recover what we have lost to apathy on our part, and to corrupt politicians over the past 120 years as they have never let a tragedy go to waste. It is past time for OUR FAIR SHARE under the law.

Debate- Round 2


Debate – Round 2
Kevin Bryant 

With the first presidential debate finally out of the way, it’s now time to look ahead to round 2. 

What did we see from round 1? We saw an incumbent president falter. This is nothing new. Throughout the history of televised debates, the incumbent has historically lost the first debate to his challenger. Carter’s defeat of Reagan in 1980 is the only time an incumbent clearly defeated his challenger in their first debate. So, Romney winning the first round is not uncommon, it’s actually to be expected. 
 
You would think in Round 2 of the debates, with Romney soundly defeating Obama, the same is to be expected. This could not be farther from the truth. Obama has everything working for him in the next debate. Romney has a huge uphill climb to make in order to knock out Obama and make the last debate virtually meaningless. Here’s why: 

Obama did such a poor job in Round 1, even if he only does a little better in the second debate, it will appear to his support he improved by leaps and bounds from his first showing.  

The media is already in the tank for Obama. Any improvement in the second debate by Obama will give the media something positive to write about and at the very least it will give them a way to portray the debate a draw. 

If the debate is a draw in reality, just the idea of Obama making such a drastic recovery will have everyone but the most honest of reporters and columnist hailing his performance as a sound and decisive victory. Those 45% of the voting population who are uninformed and get their news and talking points strictly from mainstream media will eat up the media’s hyping and re-energize themselves. 
 
The next format is a Townhall setting. This is where Obama is at his best. In 2008 in the same type setting, Obama wiped the floor with John McCain. Not being tied to a podium is a real positive for Obama. Obama is a much better creative thinker when he is allowed to move around. His abilities as a showman and entertainer can and will be part of his debate strategy.   

In order to have a chance at sweeping all three debates, this is the one Romney has to shine in the most. Not only does Romney have to do as well as he did in the round 1, he has to be better. 

I personally think part of the Obama strategy was to lose the first debate but not nearly as bad as he did. Obama and his camp knew Romney was a good debater when he is allowed to stay on message, so why didn’t they try to trip him up? They know they have the video of Romney saying (paraphrasing here) the 47% of people who don’t pay taxes don’t matter in this race. Why didn’t they use it? Obama has been hammering Paul Ryan in his stump speeches but barely mentioned him during round 1. Why didn’t he speak of Ryan more? I believe Obama’s team decided to hold these points and others until he would be in his best setting, i.e. the second debate so he would be more comfortable. By not bringing these points up until the second debate, this gives him the opportunity to use his showman and entertainer abilities to their fullest to give viewers the appearance he is “that guy” the media portrays him to be, a tough and confident highly qualified president.  

If Romney isn’t ready for a tougher, more aggressive opponent who is going to throw everything he has into THIS debate, the media will not only declare Obama the winner of round 2, they will declare him the winner and start portraying the Romney campaign dead regardless of results of round 3.

Dear Patriots:


Dear Patriots:

Speaking as an American and former Vietnam Veteran the events of the last week have sickened me to the core. Our gutless, Muslim sympathizer of a President, Yes, You Barack Hussain Obama, should be, at the very least be Impeached, and preferably tried for treason against the United States.

Barack Hussain Obama is no more, no less than guilty of violating his Oath of Office under the Constitution. He swore an Oath to “Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He has done nothing but piss on our Constitution from the beginning.

I am calling upon my representatives and the United States Senate to take action in these regards. If they have not the fortitude, the courage, or love of country to do this, they along with Obama are equally complicit in the Death of Ambassador Chris Stevens - killed earlier this week when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya occurred. This was no less than a terrorist act of war perpetrated upon American soil by Radical Islamist’s, and Egyptians, along with similar acts of terror played out in other American Embassies around the world since by these same entities.

All political correctness aside, Obama’s apology tours, blaming a movie, a presidential candidate, going on David Letterman’s show as an excuse for not meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister, are appalling examples of ineptitude, all disrespectful acts, that mock the highest office of our Land, they should anger most all true Citizens of America.

I am calling upon my friends to send this message to their representatives, as I am; I would hope this message would go viral. I know many like you are outraged by our President, as well as many in the Democratic Party who condone, or try to spin what is in truth, a cowardly display or attempt at appeasement, and apologies at the highest levels of Government. Shame on them!!!!!!!!!!! Damn them to Hell. Barack Hussain Obama is the most disgraceful President America has ever experienced; he deserves throughout future generations to be remembered as such.

Fumble


Fumble
Kevin Bryant
 
Oh My, what a shocker…..Obama fumbled again.  

The anniversary of 9/11 draws near, the anniversary of the most cowardly act ever perpetrated on the United States and where was Obama?  

I’m sure more information will come out about the attacks on the US embassy and consulate that took place on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 as well as the attacks and protests that have started since 9/11/2012; however one thing is certain, Obama fumbled it. 

Obama missed every intelligence briefing for a week leading up to 9/11/2012. He even missed the one after because it conflicted with a meeting he had and then he had to ….. get ready for it…… rush off to another fundraiser. According to a white house spokesperson, he was completely up to date because he read the daily briefings. First off, briefing papers are just that, a brief summary of the day’s events and analysis. Briefs are not designed to get you up to speed on a subject. They are however, designed to bring points forward for further discussion. 

Just days before the attacks in Egypt and Libya, Janet Napolitano, the head of the Dept of Homeland Security announced the threat of an attack on America was low on the anniversary of 9/11, yet just two days before 9/11/2012, the embassy in Egypt stated there was a viable threat to then and other embassies and consulates in the region and they had gotten their information from a very reliable source. What does Obama do, he dismisses the threat and embraces the announcement made by the DHS without further discussion.  

Obama’s unwillingness to hold a 45 minute meeting cost the lives of 4 Americans and caused 4 families to lose a loved one. May our thoughts and prayers be with the families of those lost.  

The press and the Obama administration is calling it unpatriotic to question his actions and decisions, yet is was Hillary Clinton who in 2008 who stated it was the right and the patriotic duty of all citizens to question the decisions made by their government. I guess that only applies when a republican is in the white house or seeking the white house as she, the rest of the Obama administration along with the press scolded Mitt Romney for his dead on accurate statement regarding the attacks.  

Following the attacks, the administration stated these attacks were “random acts of violence”. According to eyewitnesses, these attacks were well coordinated military style attacks. In Libya, the attackers primary target was to take out the security detail. Once completed, they immediately went after the “safe area” where all the staff was to assemble to be transferred to safe houses. Once the attackers gained control of the premises, they immediately went to specific rooms and gathered important documents, computers and other items of national security interest. Does this sound like a flash mob upset over some movie that hurt their feelings?  

Obama dropped the ball. Biden dropped the ball, Hillary Clinton dropped the ball, Janet Napolitano dropped the ball, Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisor dropped the ball, Leon Panetta, Sec. of Defense dropped the ball. They fumbled, American lives were lost and sensitive information is now in the hands of our enemies. Even when leading from behind, they still can’t handle the job.

Are You Safer Now Then You Were 4 Years Ago?


Are You Safer Now Then You Were 4 Years Ago?
Al Ritter 

Barack Obama seemed concerned 4 years ago about how the world viewed us after 9/11 and the end of the Bush Administration. Today the picture is very different, the President has pandered to the “Arab World” and surprisingly or not, nothing much has changed. Obviously President Obama’s “hope and change” campaign didn’t impress the Muslim nations, and why would it?
Warring factions within their own religion swear violence within their own people. Violence as we know it has no bounds in the Islamic religion, the murder continues unabated throughout the world. Obama continually claims that Islam isn’t our enemy and yet terrorism by Islamic terrorists continues at a scale unfathomable just 12 years ago. We are no safer than we were just 4 years ago, in fact the world is a far more dangerous place to live.
Civilized people see discourse voiced in the way of protests. Muslims see discourse voiced in the way of murder. Disagree with the western world lop the head off a Jewish reporter and show it brazenly to the media. People on the left see the world through rose colored glasses and through politically correct eyes and encourage coexistence and patience. Meanwhile in the real world people are dying because the enemy hides amongst us and pretends to be our friend further entrenching the militants into our society.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens had a utopian view of the world stage and trusted Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton………..he thought world peace was obtainable. The problem was that he was Ambassador in one of the world’s worst Islamic hot spots of the world. The pictures of his dragged corpse are hard to take and the politically correct factions in America say “take those pictures off Facebook we are better than that.” Unfortunately the path we have chosen to this point so far has yielded the result we got yesterday………..death to the civilized world. The pictures are hard to take yes, but they are yet a grim reminder that the rest of the world doesn’t play by our rules.
So the question is……do we continue to placate the barbarian attitudes of the Middle East or do we fight back? Do we continue down the path of allowing the Muslim World to set our foreign policy? Hillary merely repeated the same old talking point that liberals have used since Carter………….”it’s just a few people that perpetrated this crime.” Or do we actually stand up for something and say……….”it’s NOT ok to indiscriminately kill people.” And furthermore, future actions like this will be met with swift and deadly force.
America is tired of being the punching bag of the world we are tired of the demands in the UN of 56 Muslim controlled countries. We scoff at the appointment of Muslim countries to the UN Human Rights Commissions. Regardless whether or not they are radical extremists or run of the mill Muslims, they exemplify EVERY human rights violation possible.
We NEED new leadership in this country, one that sides with Israel, one that recognizes human rights violations when they see it. We need one that recognizes the sanctity of life, and one that respects everyone equally not just the Islamic people.

Dear Patriots


Dear Patriots:
William G. Burmer 

     Since the beginning of time there has been a steady war between the choices of good and evil.  The RNC and the DNC have shown a clear contrast between these two choices the last two weeks. The voices have been coherent, clear as a bells sound in a cool winter morning, not only to hear but  for all to see; at least for those who have eyes to see, ears that hear, and hearts that are softened by the pure words of Christ. 
     The problem with so many, sadly, in order to justify behavior contrary to revealed scripture, many have made themselves numb to the truth that vibrates deep within each of us; they have hardened their hearts, and have made themselves enemies of the very thing that would bring them peace, that might cause them to truly appreciate the Sanctuary that attracts so many to Americas boarders.  
     I wish that all who would call themselves American would read our history without any pre-conceived notions or prejudice.  By the Spirit of Christ which resides in all of us, they would find that those who we call our founders were and are men of God. These men sought to prepare and draft a Constitution that would be, and in the end, was ordained of God ;( D&C98) they established a Government for the People, By the People, and Of the People.  Our Founders were men of a sound education, filled with the wisdom of time and history.  They were men of impeccable character. They knew, for all their understanding that they needed to rely upon a source greater than their own wisdom, if they were to accomplish the task before them worthy of the Peoples trust.
      In the words of George Washington “The power under the Constitution will always be in the People.” He went on to say: “A primary object…should be the education of our youth in the science of government.  In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? and what duty more pressing…than…communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?” 1796
    There are those who advocate that our founders were deist, advocates of a universal religion absent the influence of God. So today’s DNC would have you believe. This could not be more untrue. Again, from the writings of George Washington, the Father of our American Republic said these words: “I am sure there never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the Unite States; and I would be pained to believe, that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God, who is alone able to protect them.”
     I cannot convince or begin to persuade everyone who reads my column to see what I see or feel the passion I do for my country, what I do hope is that you will look deeply into your individual hearts and choose to make a truly informed vote come this November.
     I am a Latter Day Saint, The scripture above comes from what I believe is revealed from our Savior Jesus Christ.  It reads in part: “And now, verily I say unto you concerning the laws of the land, it is my will that my people should observe to do all things whatsoever I command them. And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all mankind and is Justifiable before me. Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land; And as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil.    I, the Lord God, make you free, therefore ye are free indeed; and the law also maketh you free. Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn.”

Something Stinks In St. Louis

Something Stinks In St. Louis
Kevin Bryant

In July of 1980, Ronald Reagan polled behind Jimmy Carter. Many at that point thought Carter was shoe-in for reelection. Over the period of August – October, Reagan steam rolled him. Roll forward to July, 2012, in Missouri John Bruner and Sarah Steeleman were in a virtual tie for the republican nomination to challenge Claire MacCaskill for the United States senate. Each polling in the high 30’s to low 40’s with Congressman Todd Akin bringing up the rear somewhere around 12 – 15%. In three weeks time, Todd Akin goes from dead last and out of contention to soundly defeating both Steeleman and Bruner. Last time I checked, Todd Akin isn’t even close to being in the same league as Ronald Reagan.

Claire MacCaskill at the time was polling almost 10 point behind both Bruner and Steeleman and was in within the margin of error against Akin. Now Aunt Claire is ahead of and pulling away from Todd Akin. What I and so many others here in Missouri would like to know is what really happened in those three weeks leading up to that primary.

What we know: Todd Akin is a congressman from the St. Louis area but is almost a complete unknown in the rest of the state. Claire MacCaskill was able to defeat Jim Talent for her senate seat because of an extremely strong showing in the St. Louis area, where she received almost 80% of the vote. Jim Talent took the rest of the state. John Bruner and Sarah Steeleman split almost every section of the state except for St. Louis. Steeleman and Bruner finished with less than 3000 votes separating them but Todd Akin managed to defeat them both by almost 10,000 votes though he finished last in 80% of Missouri’s counties. Todd Akin was outspent outside of the St. Louis metro almost 40 to 1 by the combination of Bruner and Steeleman. Todd Akin literally had no money to spend outside of the St. Louis area.

What we all saw: The MacCaskill campaign shot multiple radio and TV ads opposing all three candidates though hardly any of those against Steeleman or Bruner ever made it on the air. In fact, 95% of her advertisement opposing Steeleman and Bruner was pulled from the Kansas City & Springfield areas by the third week of June, 7 weeks before the election and we got bombarded with “Don’t Vote Todd Akin” ads.
 
Questions:

1) How does someone who is virtually unknown outside of St. Louis manage to gain 25 percentage points in 21 days spending almost no money and making less than 5 appearances outside of St. Louis.?
2) How did Claire MacCaskill know to keep on running ads against Todd Akin and to stop running them against the two frontrunners?

Just two weeks ago (by the time you read this), Todd Akin, a very seasoned politician, goes on television and makes a speaking error of such enormous proportion that it would actually blow the minds of people if that size mistake was made by someone running for the position of local dogcatcher. No politician outside of Joe Biden is THAT dumb.

Todd Akin now has no money, very little in state support, no out of state support, no backing from the RNC, no vote of confidence from the Romney-Ryan campaign, two candidates who can both raise money and defeat MacCaskill waiting in the wings and he refuses to step down as the party’s candidate for the U.S. senate. Every republican power player in the state has requested he step aside. Only MacCaskill and state democrats still support him staying in and he won’t get out of the race.

Question:

3) You’re beat and you know you’re beat. Why stay in a race you know you can’t win and by staying, you prevent 2 others who are very capable of winning from actually defeating Claire MacCaskill and blocking the republicans from taking back the senate?

Is it just me or can you too smell the political stench coming from St. Louis?

Who Am I?


Who Am I?
Al Ritter
I am the city wrought with crime so much so that I am the second deadliest city in America surpassed only by Detroit for murders. I am the state where its people once called itself the “land of pleasant living.” I am the city where a major revitalization project drew people from around the country to its inner city but has now become an area for “roaming black gangs,” and has now made visitors targets for violent crime.
I am the state that has been controlled by Democrats for over 20 years now. I am the city where corrupt politicians are groomed through the city level. I am the city that breeds corruption through the city council first, graduates to Mayor, then to Governor, never once looking back at the problems they created. I am the city whose crime becomes increasingly worse and yet the past Mayors go on to increasingly higher offices.
I am the city where the immortal words were penned “the land of the free, and the home of the brave,” and yet ranked 43rd out of 50 states for an overall violation of personal freedom in a 2009 study. I am the state where people proudly announced themselves in the 50’s as being from the “free state.”
I am the state that has enacted numerous laws to “protect” it’s most famous tributary, but despite the laws and extra regulations has made very little headway in curbing pollution, but has taxed its inhabitants to a painful level to preserve its cleanliness.
I am the state that has the second largest tax increase from 2010 to 2012 and yet still can’t balance its budget. I am the state that because of its taxing policies has chased off 31,000 millionaire residents to neighboring states between 2007 and 2010.
 I am a sanctuary state that supports, hides, and enables illegal aliens. I was the state that promised that illegal aliens would no longer be able to obtain driver’s licenses, but now they are once again getting licenses through the “back door.” I am the state where the legislature has given millions of dollars to a group that printed pamphlets on how to avoid ICE officials thus being deported. This never stopped the flow of money to this group, only slowed it for a short time.
I am the state that once viewed gambling as evil and a tax on the poor while Maryland had a Republican Governor, but quickly enacted a law that allowed slot machines, and is now on a fast track to include full scale gambling through the legislature.
I was once a state that viewed “fees” were taxes but now accepts them as fees rather than taxes, because their Democratic Governor said so.
I am the state whose two senators survive by earmarks and proudly extoll their use as benefiting the people of the state.
I am the state that is increasing its Democratic control through a blatant gerrymandering process that if successful will secure democratic control for decades to come. I am the state, the city, the rural areas that once held their heads proudly above the rest. Alas, that was a long time ago and many Mayors and Governors have passed into the annals of our history. My present Governor is presently being groomed to run for the Presidency, I hope you remember these facts in the future, your country will depend on it!
Who am I? Surely you have guessed by now…….I am the once Great State of Maryland, and once Great City of Baltimore……hard to believe isn’t it?.........sad to see the regressive nature of my state!

DeEnergizing The Base


DeEnergizing The Base
Kevin Bryant 

What is going on with the Romney campaign? It appears to me that we are getting a repeat of the John McCain campaign. During the primaries the base was all fired up and record numbers of voters were turning out for primary contests.  But now…….. 

We have gone from one of the hardest hitting primaries to a softball general election. The Obama campaign is running almost completely unopposed on their record, their distortion of the truth and their Chicago style tactics. Sarah Palin said it best when she told reporters “The McCain campaign wouldn’t allow me to take the gloves off”.  

Romney is looking and acting like a nice boy scout who is trying to help an elderly person across the street, not someone in a fight looking to win the white house. If the base wanted another softball campaign we could have gotten that from John Huntsman. We did get that from John McCain. 

It’s time to take the gloves off, roll up the sleeves and get dirty. Romney doesn’t need to take the message to the streets of America, he needs to take the fight to the streets of America.

Dear Patriots

Dear Patriots:
William G. Burmer

Recently I received a reply from Barbara Boxer, Senator from California, to an editorial I sent to her and Feinstein some weeks ago. Oh yes, I send my editorials to my representatives. I believe we should all let them know how we feel, not just our friends and those who may disagree.

The reply was predictable, sanitized, polite without mention of any actually subject matter; I was thanked for my comments and assured they would play a role in her decision making process as she worked in the Senate.

I have, in the past, received several letters from my representatives of the same genre. I am sure each of you have also received similar letters if not the same. They begin by inserting your first name “Dear _____. (First Paragraph) Thank you for your recent letter, your comments are important to me BLAH BLAH BlAH. (Second Paragraph) Please visit my web site for some (BS). The (third Paragraph) More (BS) and finally the salutation can be interpreted to mean (Kiss off) your comments are trivial to me and I will enjoy my power and retirement at your personal expense.

I would that the following words of Davy Crockett rang sober within the hearts of more of today’s politicians.

Letter (28 January 1834), reported in A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett (1834), p. 113, final paragraph.

I am sorry to say I do doubt the honesty of many men that are called good at home, that have given themselves up to serve a party. I am no man's man. I bark at no man's bid. I will never come and go, and fetch and carry, at the whistle of the great man in the white house, no matter who he is. And if this petty, un-patriotic scuffling for men, and forgetting principles, goes on, it will be the overthrow of this one happy nation, and the blood and toil of our ancestors will have been expended in vain.

In a letter following his defeat in the 1830 elections, as quoted in David Crockett: The Man and the Legend (1994) by James Atkins Shackford, p. 133

I would rather be beaten and be a man than to be elected and be a little puppy dog. I have always supported measures and principles and not men. I have acted fearless and independent and I never will regret my course. I would rather be politically buried than to be hypocritically immortalized.

To all who serve party over principle I say: Woof Woof, Bow Wow.
