"BUT I DON'T WANT YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO BE PROTECTED!!"
Can you believe this guy? I just watched the video from his press
conference yesterday and I cannot believe not only ....wait - back up - I
CAN believe it, I just can't believe that I can believe it anymore -
but not only is the man LYING about this legislation being backed by 90%
of Americans (KOFFfuckinliarKOFF) but he is actually scolding the
American PEOPLE and Congress for not getting this illegal piece of
legislation passed. Listen to this jerk talk to us as if we're impudent little kids! Start at the 5 minute mark.
Seriously?? Is he seriously saying that we should all be ashamed because our 2nd amendment rights were protected? Here's a newsflash, Mr. Obummer, if 90% of congress and 90% of Americans wanted this legislation to pass, it would have passed. The votes would have been there and you would be signing yet another illegal law to suppress yet another of our protected constitutional rights. What do you not understand about the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon? I realize you hate our constitution and you've even said yourself that you wish we didn't have a congress so you could just do whatever you want but in America, THE PEOPLE will tell YOU what to do, not the other way around. We are fighting hard to get you to realize you will not take our liberty without a fight and it looks like it worked with this one.
And knowing he doesn't like having to go through congress is why he said this:
"This effort is not over." He then went on to say, "EVEN WITHOUT CONGRESS (another executive order will be signed, wait for it!), my administration will do everything we can to protect more of our communities. We will address barriers that keep states from participating in existing background check systems (which we already do background checks, he's mad because he didn't get his registry) and give more information to law enforcement about lost and stolen guns (how will they know they are lost and/or stolen if they aren't registered, hmm?) and emergency plans to protect our kids in schools". He then went on to say "we can do better if congress gets its act together and if they don't, then the real impact will have to come from the voters.".
Well, Mr. Obummer, the impact DID come from the voters. It came from a ton of us calling our reps in Congress and letting them know that if they go forward with this bill, there will either be blood spilled (theirs) or there will be a brand new Congress next term. WE are the ones that made our reps remember what the 2nd amendment is about - protecting ourselves from a tyrannical government - first and foremost.
I wonder why they expect us to really believe that this is not
legislation to begin the repeal of the 2nd amendment. Here's a little
"oopsie" moment from Hairy Reid, that little troll:
Realize that he said "anti-gun legislation" not once, but TWICE! Yeah, don't sit there and preach to me about how we are all paranoid that the gub'mnt is coming after us. When they buy billions of rounds of ammo and don't tell Congress what it's for, except to give a cock and bull story about making the free markets more competitive (my absolute favorite, so far!), that should sound off alarm bells. The fact that even some members of Congress are wary of the government purchasing all those rounds and have even said they think they will use them on US, ought to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! What does it take, people? How about this tidbit from the man who authorized Fast and Furious:
Now for the appropriate response at the 6:25 mark, hehehe:
Does this administration really care about our rights? Why do you think they want all of the ammunition? So we can't use our guns against them! DUH!
We are in very scary times in this country. Our president and his NSA and DHS and TSA and CIA and FBI looking at US as enemies. They want to watch our every move. Why? The last times I know of any domestic terrorism was Timothy McVeigh and Bill Ayres and Bill Ayres is a very good friend of Mr. Obummer. Mr. Ayres is a very powerful figure in the education system of this country. He himself said after his own domestic terrorism trial, after being acquitted of all charges, "Guilty as hell, free as a bird!". 99% of the people in this country are innocent of any kind of terrorism, discounting gangs and crazy people, of course. Last time I looked, it wasn't an American that blew up the Trade Centers in 1995 and it wasn't Americans that rammed the planes into the towers. Why should WE pay this price because some foreign nationals have attacked us?
This smackdown was well deserved and couldn't come at a better time. How dare our president act like that in his press conference?!! Last time I checked, he was supposed to protect our rights, not take them away.
The bombings in Boston was heavy proof that no matter how many rights
the government takes away in the name of security, no matter how many
laws they pass and no matter how many guns they take from us, you cannot
guarantee safety nor security anywhere in this world. They take away
your rights in order to have control over you and that's it.
Sorry (no, I'm not), Mr. President but the American people have spoken. Now sit down and shut up!
I wanted to write this blog today for my daughter and her school friends - her posse! ;-)
I want to find a way to maybe make them think about everything they're seeing and listening to on TV or at home or from their friends (or their friend's mom's blog, hehe) and to help them understand all the things that are at stake for them and this country. I hope that they can feel my love for them and this country and my sincerety in keeping them properly informed at what exactly is taking place. These are some very interesting times, indeed, but they are also some very scary times as well. I hope they listen but most of all, I hope they learn something and agree with it and start getting involved now. They are their last hope.
OK, kids....sorry, young adults! Ok, you guys, here's the thing. You all know that I am a conservative and I know that you all are mostly liberal. You know I love Ron Paul and I know you laugh at me for that. I'll bet you didn't know I knew, hahaha! I know that you think I'm a crackpot or a crazy republican (shame on you for calling me the R word!!) or even a far-right,ultra-conservative freak! I know you love Obama and it both saddens and humors me. Well, it doesn't really humor me but I know why you like him and what you THINK he stands for. But it's not just Obama that I'm writing about. I'm writing about republicans, democrats and media, too. I'm writing about the constitution and what that means to you and your country.
I spent all of yesterday and last night listening to a filibuster by Rand Paul against the confirmation of a man named John Brennan for the head of our Central Intelligence Agency. Obama has picked him for this post, as he has a right to do as president. The filibuster, as I'm sure you have learned in school ( but may not since we're talking about crappy public school and they don't teach you anything anymore) is when a member of congress makes a prolonged speech to put off or obstruct any piece of legislation someone doesn't like as a means of putting off a vote. For 13 and a half hours, I watched as Rand Paul, senator of Kentucky, who started the filibuster, talk about the drone program of the White House and the CIA and the Department of Justice. I know you liberals are against war and the killing of innocent people - so am I - so this drone program will probably take your breath away as this is the epitome of evil and government mixed together. What Mr. Paul talked about during this filibuster was OUR 5th amendment rights to due process and a fair trial. Guys, this is very important because it is this amendment, along with our 4th, 6th and even the 7th and 8th amendments is what separates the United States from the rest of the world. Our right to be secure in our papers and possessions, our right to not have to worry about someone coming and busting down our doors to rifle through our personal belongings, accusing us of committing a crime, without a signed warrant from a judge giving permission based on solid evidence.
Attorney General Eric Holder, who also took an oath - AN OATH - to preserve, protect and defend our constitutution had this to say about the president having the authority to order the killing of Americans on American soil. This is a link to an article that sums up the program and what our Attorney General had to say about it. Keep in mind, Obama and Holder are old school buddies:
Ok, so I know you didn't click the link or read the story so here's an excerpt from it since I know you kids are kinda lazy unless it's a link to porn:
Eric Holder said:
"It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance
in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the constitution and
applicable laws of the United States for the president to authorize the
military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,"
Mr Holder stressed in his letter that the prospect of a president considering
the assassination of an American citizen on US soil was "entirely
hypothetical" and "unlikely to occur".
See how Mr. Holder says that it would be constitutionally OK for the president to authorize such a hit? He's absolutely WRONG! He's an attorney and he's lying under oath.
Here are our 4th, 5th and 6th amendment rights under the constitution:
Amendment IV
The
right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and
effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment V
No
person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in
cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in
actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be
subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or
limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness
against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,
without just compensation.
Amendment VI
In
all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district
wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have
been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against
him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor,
and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
These rights are given to us by God and if you don't believe in God, know that these rights are everyone's right as a free human being on this earth and no one has a right or authority to take them away from you! Nowhere in these amendments does it say that the President has the authority to override these rights. Nowhere does it say that the president or congress can act as judge, jury and executioner in place of these rights.
I want you to listen to these few video clips. I'm almost positive none
of you heard this filibuster and I hope you will just take a few
minutes of your time to just listen to what these men are talking about -
they are talking about your future. They are talking about your rights
being taken away on even a mere suspicion that you or anyone else may
be a target for the simple SUSPICION that you are an enemy of the United
States - there doesn't have to be any proof that you are, just an
accusation or suspicion and then BOOM! You're gone!
This is an hour long but if you give it 10 minutes, you'll get the idea of what he's talking about and fighting for; not that Obama is bad or horrible, but that Obama has an obligation to The People to let us know how he feels and how Mr. Brennan feels about the killing of Americans on American soil with targeted drone strikes.
After 13 hours, neither Mr. Paul nor any of the other republican AND DEMOCRAT senators that spoke last night on behalf of the constitution, ever received word from the president that they would not and CANNOT violate the 5th amendment or any of the Bill of Rights. I know y'all laugh about my craziness over our rights but this is really important!!
This drone program has already claimed an innocent 16 year old boy in Yemen. His father was a known terrorist, Anwar al-Awlaki, that renounced his US citizenship and was a really bad guy and plotted against the United States. When a reporter asked Robert Gibbs, the press secretary for Obama, about that killing, he simply said "he should have had a more responsible father." OMG! Really? That's it?? Another excerpt from that story:
But the reporter pressed him, noting that the teen had not renounced
his citizenship and was underage. The Atlantic suggests that if Gibbs is
giving the genuine rationale for the killing, it's grounds for
impeachment.
"Again, note that this kid wasn't killed in the same drone strike as his father," writes The Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf.
"He was hit by a drone strike elsewhere, and by the time he was
killed, his father had already been dead for two weeks. Gibbs
nevertheless defends the strike, not by arguing that the kid was a
threat, or that killing him was an accident, but by saying that his late
father irresponsibly joined al Qaeda terrorists. Killing an American
citizen without due process on that logic ought to be grounds for
impeachment."
Friedersdorf also notes the distinction that al-Awlaki's son was not
killed as a consequence of the strike against the father, but was hit
separately. Esquire's Tom Junod covered the son's killing:
"He was a boy who hadn't seen his father in two years, since his father
had gone into hiding. He was a boy who knew his father was on an
American kill list and who snuck out of his family's home in the early
morning hours of September 4, 2011, to try to find him. He was a boy who
was still searching for his father when his father was killed, and who,
on the night he himself was killed, was saying goodbye to the second
cousin with whom he'd lived while on his search, and the friends he'd
made. He was a boy among boys, then; a boy among boys eating dinner by
an open fire along the side of a road when an American drone came out of
the sky and fired the missiles that killed them all."
Can you imagine going to find your father and being blown to bits for it?
Here are some videos of what drone strikes look like at about the 2:30 mark and what could happen here at the 3:30 mark!
Remember - for every ONE targeted individual, 50 innocent people die. 50 INNOCENT PEOPLE!!
I'm not going to post anymore videos. I'm not trying to be overly dramatic, either, but can you imagine a targeted drone strike like these on American soil on an American citizen that was denied his right to a fair trial? That was merely suspected of being an "immenent threat"?
When I was growing up in the Reagan days, there was never a sense of impending doom like there is now. It was never even a thought in my mind that we would ever lose our freedom - how could we? We're AMERICANS! We will always be free! Politicians didn't tell us what to do, how to live, what to eat, etc.. Yeah, they spent gobs of money on mostly worthless shit but our Bill of Rights were never under fire the way they are right now. I remember the Brady Bill after Reagan got shot. But I remember how free we all were and how patriotic everyone was and how we were all infused in each other as Americans and how proud we were to be one. I remember New York City being the freest of the free - everyone defected in NYC, LOL! Now, in NYC, the mayor is telling people they aren't allowed to wear their earbuds in their ears because it isn't good for your ears! You can't use salt in your cooking if you own a restaurant. You can't order a 2 liter of coke with your pizza delivery - I shit you not, this is really going on!
This is your future, y'all. I know you love Obama but this has got to be what changes your mind when it comes to the constitution, your/our rights and YOUR future! Is this what you want it to be? No longer being allowed to speak your mind freely? College campuses already have "free speech zones" which directly violates your 1st amendment. Gun bills that violate your 2nd. NDAA bills that violate 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. The TSA also violates your 4th amendment. I could go on and on but it's up to YOU to put a stop to it, too. You're about to graduate high school and there's a damn good chance you won't find a job. By the way, did you know there' a bill moving through the House right now that would require all 18-25 year olds to TWO YEARS of VOLUNTARY SERVICE as determined by the president? Here's that bill here:
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18
and 25 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed
services or as civilian service in a Federal, State, or local government
program or with a community-based agency or community-based entity, to
authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during
wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to
provide for the registration of women under the Military Selective
Service Act, and for other purposes.
I digress.....
This filibuster was extremely important and succesfully started dialog around the country about just what the president's authority entails. HE DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO KILL AMERICANS ON AMERICAN SOIL unless that American has a bazooka pointed straight at the White House or whatever national building he has his sights on. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE YOUR GUILT OR INNOCENCE. That's for the courts and the jury to decide. How many times has a classmate accused you of shit you didn't do and you still got in trouble for it? Happened to me a lot! crazy bitches at school! Can you imagine being suspected of being a terrorist and being blown to bits along with 30 or 40 other innocent people without you ever having the chance to say "I'm innocent, you have the wrong Hannah Frank!" Can you imagine ANYONE having the right to end your life before you can defend yourself? Even if you are a low life POS, you still have a right to be taken before a judge and a jury of your peers. That's what America is about! Proving someone's guilt, not just deciding they are without proof!
You may think I'm being extreme and you may think to yourselves "yeah, these things happen but that can never happen in America." But think about it like this.......even Hitler had to start somewhere. For Hitler, is started after the Reichstag Fire in 1933. The decree nullified many of their key civil liberties of German citizens. With Nazis in powerful positions in the German government, the Reichstag Fire Decree was used as the legal basis of imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis. Everyone loved him when they elected him. He turned into one of the world's worst human beings to ever walk around and he did his best to exterminate all of the Jews. He only got 6 million Jews, kids......6 million Jews.
I am not comparing Obama to Hitler, I am not saying he will exterminate anyone here. What I am saying is when the Department of Homeland Security ( thanks Bush the Douche!) calls people like me - a Tea Party/Grassroots girl or a Constitutional supporter - OF ALL THINGS!!!- or a military veteran - a domestic terror threat and the White House agrees with that definition as does the Department of Justice and the CIA, those are high calls that something's not right. Even the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union is speaking out against this drone policy. Something is definitely wrong in this country when the president can call someone like me, little ol' JTF, a threat to this nation. A possible "immenent threat" and can snuff me out like a flame on a candle. Or you. Pay attention to history because if you ignore history, you are doomed to repeat it.
Please pay attention! Ask questions! Demand answers! Demand their ass when they lie and they break the law! Demand they leave alone our Bill of Rights and that they protect them as they promised. Do not allow them the unprecedented authority they seek to run every aspect of your lives. Remember two things:
1) Any government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have, and
2) Those who are willing to give up their liberty for security deserve neither.
I want you to grow up and have families and be free without worry that the government can just come in and take it all away from you. This is your future. It's all up to you. You either fight to live in a peaceful country or you die living in one of those above in that video.
The annual Lincoln Day Dinner Fundraiser took place last Friday night at the Hurst Conference Center and we had the *koff* pleasure of listening to Mr. Slick Rick Santorum as our keynote speaker. He mostly did a lot of preaching to us Texans about what we need to do as a state to lead. I have a hard time listening to someone that always has a look on his face like he's talking to an idiot and always gets stuck explaining things to you. I don't like condescension and I don't like his teefs staring at me like that. I did manage to walk up to him and shake his hand and say hello ( and then he showed his teefs) because I just thought it would be fun, haha. It's not fun, however, when you have to tell people that they cannot cut in front of you while you've patiently waited to pounce. At least they were nice about it and backed off. Although I am not a fan of Slick Rick Santorum, I felt it was at least good manners to say hello and thank him for speaking that night. Whatever helps Jennifer H. and the county GOP is all that matters. Moving on....
Here are some pictures that were taken of my Liberty group that I just LOVE: ( for those that don't know me, I'm in the blue sweater)
The Liberty Gals! left to right: Brandy, Lauren, Sybil, Amy, Me and Jodi
Mixture of GOP and Liberty Group: L to R - Top to Bottom:
Sybil Lane, David Hall, Jennifer Hall, Steve Munisteri, Brandon Moore, Amy Hedtke, Brandy Derrik, Lauren and Jorge Landivar, Me, Jake Thomas, Jodi Tyree and Justin Machacek
Us Again but this time Lenny Lopez is with us on the end.
We also had some questionable people attending the dinner as well. Politicians that are new and politicians that need to GTFO and fast! So far that night, I only saw one of the GTFO peeps that I've had my sights on for the last few years and that's Congressman Joe Barton! UGH! Douche-canoe! Anyway, this is not about that. But there is another person that needs to be vetted and vetted now. His name is Todd Staples and he's running for Lt. Governor for the state of Texas.
This guy is Todd Staples. He wants to beat David Dewhurst - the same Dewhurst that lost to Ted Cruz in the Senate race this past year. He came up to a bunch of us as he was leaving and said goodbye to me and I looked at him like "OK, bye??" because I didn't know who he was. He came up and introduced himself and I finally remembered he spoke that night and told us who he was and blahblahblah, I believe that was about the time that they were serving dinner and had forgotten my plate so I didn't pay much attention to him. So he tells me he's running against Douche-Hurst and I told him he automatically had my vote (kidding around). But then I stopped him and asked him before I did decide to support him, what does he think about the NDAA. I swear to God this man's face went blank. He had no idea what I was talking about. He muttered the words "N..?D?.... I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with it" and I said "you're kidding. You don't know what the NDAA is? The indefinite detention of American Citizens bill?" He still had no clue. None! I just looked at him like he was nuts. I explained to him that this was federal legislation to which he answered he wasn't familiar with some of the federal bills and I told him that since he's going to be Lt. Gov., he better get familiar with it real fast because it affects the entire country!! He agreed and said that maybe I could give him more information on that. I told him maybe you ought to look it up yourself and get familiar with it and understand why WE are working to NULLIFY it along with Obamacare. His face lit up when I said Obamacare - he knew that one! <eyeroll> Geez....it amazes me that people want to run for a high state office like this and he doesn't know a ^@%#$# thing about one of THE most controversial bills in America. I just wanted to slap the poop out of him. Moving on....
EVERYONE KNOWS Slick Rick Santorum, Roger Williams, Steve Munisteri, Kenny Merchant and Joe *GTFO* Barton!
I can tell you that Roger Williams is a really nice man. He goes to my church, I know him well but I don't know what he will be like in Congress. I am going to have to really stay on him and make him go the way of Liberty, not moderate RINO republican. I believe he may listen to me since we know each other and I can get him in touch with lots of liberty and grassrooters that just might sway him the right way. I don't know, we'll see. Steve Munisteri - State GOP Chairman, very cool guy, very personable and willing to let everyone participate in the entire political process. I have only good words for him. Kenny Merchant, I don't know much about him yet. I think he's a newbie, I'll have to make sure. Well crap! It seems after I looked him up, he doesn't seem to be very conservative. That blows! He is a big fan of big oil and seems to be the fith largest oil stock owner in Congress. Says he broke with conservatives to increase the minimum wage. I'm not going to look at anymore on him, I don't have time right this second. However, Joe Barton is a crook, a liar, a theif and has violated his oath of office, he has signed his name to legislation that violates our 1st, 4th, 10th amendments. He needs to be escorted out of his office for treason. Period!
All in all it was a good party. a great bunch of people and a not-so-great bunch of people. Some people really need to lay OFF the alcohol. I couldn't believe how many people were acting the fool because of their poorly thought out consumption of booze. Come on, people! Grow up! You're at a nice dinner, people know you, don't make them NOT want to know you.
I'm actually glad I got to sit at the table I was assigned after all because I never would have met some of the people I did. If the wait staff had given me my food on time and let me keep it for longer than 10 minutes, it might have been an even better experience. At least they gave me a new serving of the mashed new potatoes, even if I had already resigned to eating my key lime pie.
Mmmmm! Pie and potatoes for dinner! ;-) LOL!
I really did have a blast. I hope to attend more of these events.
YOU GET YOUR ASS UP IN FRONT OF A CAMERA AND SPEAK TO THE NATION AND SEE IF YOU DON'T GET COTTON-MOUTH!!
Just like the dolts underneath drink water:
What is this the president's drinking? GASP!! WATER???
What is this douche-canoe drinking? GASP!! WATER???
what's that next to Hilary? GASP! WATER???
I get really tired of the media finding one little thing (like taking a drink of water during a speech) and making it into a federal fucking offense! I think it purposefully detracts from the real message being sent and for the most part, I agreed with Marco Rubio on what he said - for the most part.
If people want to nit-pick and find something wrong with his speech so they can rip him apart in the media and amongst their closest family and friends, then behold: I give you great tidings of things to consider when listening to Marco Rubio:
When Marco talks about the federal government needing to provide incentives to local school districts to offer more AP courses, we must first get the government OUT of the school systems altogether so that we can HAVE students that can actually BE in AP classes. Look at California, for example. They have decided that they will no longer require 8th graders to take ALGEBRA!
I can't believe California is dropping a basic math course for 8th graders that has been taught for decades and has been a requirement to pass the 8th grade in many states! California is so inept in education it's pathetic. Why? Because state and federal governments have picked apart the entire school system and it was done so by the liberal coo-coos that run the place. Disgusting! They have allowed the kids to be dumbed down so much that they aren't even making them take a math course. They teach English as a second language in schools instead of mandating that it be the first language since it is an American state. Regardless of the majority ethnicity of the state, it is still an American state in this country that speaks English. This is another consequence of not having immigrants assimilate to our system. So no, we don't need government intervening any more than they already do. They need to get the hell out of OUR way and let communities decide on a local level how to educate our children. Did I mention Eric Holder would like to ban homeschooling altogether? That's another story for another day.
This is, again, the reason college tuition has gotten so out of control as well. Colleges are forced to educate people that either cannot afford college or are of a minority race and they are forced to teach to a certain curriculum or the colleges don't get their federal dollars. If they don't have federal dollars, how are they going to pay to educate their students? This is just my take on it - I don't really know why college tuition is so high (unless it has something to do with the sports aspect of it - you know, football and basketball and baseball) and it doesn't make sense to me that the cost is skyrocketing. I know that because a lot of people are unable to make their financial aid payments, schools are missing out on getting paid back. I wonder why that is...hmm...... ( sarcasm)!
Anyway, let's now talk about Marco Rubio's comment about his student loans. First he said he wouldn't have been able to go to college without federal aid so we must, MUST, have more federal aid! Why? Why not hold people accountable for the majors they choose? Why would you spend $90k for a master's degree when the highest earnings you can make in your chosen field is about $60k a year? To me, that is just stupid. If you are going to educate yourself to the tune of $100k, MARCO, you better make sure you can make enough in your career to be able to pay it off. But then you got elected to a senate seat and began making $178k per year, courtesy of yours truly and the rest of the American taxpayers, and was able to pay off your loans. You're welcome, douche-bag! <eyeroll> A thank you or a shout out would have been nice, btw. My question is this: if you had federal financial aid and still owed $100k in student loans, what was the benefit of taking out the loan in the first place?!?! What were you going for? Crazy......I digress.
Marco said: "Republicans have offered a detailed and credible plan that helps save Medicare without hurting today’s retirees." Marco, not one republican laid out a plan to save anything - they laid out a plan that kicks the problem down the road and didn't even balance the budget for 30 years! Yeah! The Ryan Plan. No thanks. Another falsehood.
Marco said: "On foreign policy, America continues to be indispensable to the goal of global liberty, prosperity and safeguarding human rights. The world is a better place when America is the strongest nation on earth. But we can’t remain powerful if we don’t have an economy that can afford it." Marco, the only foreign policy we need at this point is this: PULL OUT! We don't NEED to be indispensable anymore. We don't NEED to be all over the world. Unless people are asking us to liberate them - and I don't hear ANYONE asking - we don't need to be stomping into places like Mali or Syria or Libya and using our drones and bombs and guns to "protect our interests" that aren't even over there to begin with. Our interests that need protecting right now are our men and women in uniform that are being sent to their deaths either chasing a ghost or arming the enemy. Screw that!
One more thing: After Marco Rubio signed his name to the NDAA, he lost all credibility as an American concerned with our liberty and our sovereignty. At least he did with me. Sad....he had such promise.
So let's move on to OBAMA and his SOTU: This man told 9 lies in under two minutes!!! They are:
1) Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion – mostly through spending cuts, but also by raising tax rates on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. As a result, we are more than halfway towards the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction
#^%*#&^ LIAR!
HE ADDED 6 TRILLION TO THE DEFICIT!
2)Tonight, thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, there is much progress to report. After a decade of grinding war, our brave men and women in uniform are coming home.
AGAIN, LIE!! WE'RE SENDING TROOPS TO MALI NOW! WE'RE STILL IN SYRIA, STILL IN LIBYA AND AFGHANISTAN (FOR TEN MORE YEARS) AND IRAQ. LIES! ALL LIES!
3) After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over six million new jobs
REALLY? 6 MILLION NEW JOBS? SO WE LOST 4 MILLION WHEN YOU TOOK OFFICE THE FIRST TIME BUT NOW YOU'RE SAYING WE'VE CREATED 6 MILLION MORE? SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE AN UNEMPLOYMENT ISSUE, THEN, RIGHT? AND NO MORE FOOD STAMPS SHOULD BE NEWLY ISSUED, RIGHT? AND WE SHOULD HAVE FEWER THAN 49% RECEIVING WELFARE, RIGHT? LYING ^@$@##$ LIAR!
4) We buy more American cars than we have in five years
LOAD OF CRAPT - HE TOOK GM AND RAN IT INTO THE GROUND AND SOLD HALF OF IT TO FIAT AND THE OTHER HALF TO THE UNIONS. THEY LOSE BILLIONS EVERY YEAR BECAUSE NO ONE BUYS THEM. JEEP WENT TO CHINA FOR PRODUCTION AND FORD IS REALLY THE ONLY AMERICAN CAR LEFT, THAT I KNOW OF, THAT'S BEING BUILT AND SOLD HERE IN AMERICA AND AMERICAN OWNED!
5) (in the same breath as #4): We buy less foreign oil than we have in twenty years.
LIES, LIES, LIES! HE SHUT DOWN ALL DOMESTIC DRILLING IN THE COUNTRY AND OFF THE COAST TO US DRILLING COMPANIES AND LET RUSSIA, CHINA AND BRAZIL( I THINK) COME INTO THE GULF AND OFF THE COAST OF THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD TO DRILL IN OUR WATERS. WE IMPORT FROM SAUDI ARABIA AND VENEZUELA. WE JUST DON'T IMPORT AS MUCH WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO DAMN EXPENSIVE TO FILL YOUR TANK - PART OF THE PLAN TO GET US TO $9 A GALLON AND MAKE US LIKE IT!
6) Our housing market is healing
UM, IN LA-LA-LAND, MAYBE. LAST I LOOKED, FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC WERE STILL SOAKING US FOR BILLIONS EVERY QUARTER, THE GOVERNMENT IS STILL ALLOWING ZERO DOWN LOANS AND FEDERAL "ASSISTANCE" FOR MORTGAGES - HOUSES ARE STILL AT A 30% LOSS IN VALUE AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES JUST AS FAST AS THEY WERE BEFORE.
7) consumers, patients, and homeowners enjoy stronger protections than ever before.
STRONGER PROTECTIONS FROM WHAT? MORE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO FILL THE POCKETS OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, BANKS AND POLITICIANS? WE ARE MORE AT RISK THAN EVER BEFORE. CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK FOR THE DE-VALUING OF THE DOLLAR, PATIENTS ARE MORE AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE COST OF OBAMACARE AND HOMEOWNERS ARE STILL LOSING HOME VALUES AND EVEN THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF BAD GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND A HORRIBLE ECONOMY!
8) Together, we have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is stronger.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?? OUR UNION IS STRONGER? WE ARE IN DEBT TO THE TUNE OF $17 TRILLION DOLLARS! WE HAVE BEEN TAXED TO THE EYEBROWS, WE ARE BANKRUPT, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS IS UNDER ATTACK, WE HAVE FEWER JOBS AND MORE PROBLEMS THAN EVER BEFORE. GAS PRICES, FOOD PRICES, COST OF LIVING HAS INCREASED, THE DOLLAR IS ALMOST DEAD, THE CONSTITUTION IS BEING VIOLATED AT EVERY SINGLE TURN, THE WARS ARE KILLING OUR LOVED ONES AND PUTTING US FURTHER INTO DEBT, CHINA'S THE NEW ECONOMIC LEADER AND THE ADMINISTRATION HAS SUCCESSFULLY DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY IN SO MANY WAYS IT WILL TAKE DECADES TO RECOVER AND YOU CALL OUR UNION STRONG? YOU'RE STILL DOING DOPE, AREN'T YOU?!?
9) Corporate profits have rocketed to all-time highs – but for more than a decade, wages and incomes have barely budged
SMH......CORPORATE PROFITS ARE NOT AT ALL TIME HIGHS OR ELSE PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A JOB WITH DECENT WAGES AND BENEFITS. YOUR REGULATIONS AND LEGISLATION TOOK CARE OF ANYONE BEING ABLE TO PROFIT FROM ANYTHING.
This was all said within 2 minutes and I had to turn it off. I personally hate to vomit more than death itself and last night I was purging! I honestly don't know what planet this man is living on if he truly believes what he's saying. I am of the opinion that he knows exactly what's going on and he's doing it on purpose. He can't get the votes to do it so he illegally passes legislation in the form of executive order - something SOMEONE is going to have to put a stop to immediately. Ted Nugent is right! The republicans have lost their balls and it's sickening. But the republicans in the Senate are on the take just as much as the dems are. It's a never-ending circle and I'm sick of it. Sick, sick, sick! Rand Paul was the ONLY rebuttal that touched on the real problems and the real solutions. I'm not just saying that because he's Ron's son, I'm saying that because I truly believe in everything he said in his response to the SOTU address. I truly believe that his father educated him well and he knows what's going on and how to fix it. Here is Rand's response. Tell me he doesn't make the most sense out of all of them.
This man gets it - he cares - he wants to make a difference. A REAL difference! He will have a plan to balance the budget in 5 years! 5!!! Not 30, not 20, not 10 but 5 years! Let's get that under control right after restoring our Bill of Rights and then we can address everything else. These two things, the Bill of Rights and a balanced budget, are the two things that are make or break.
I hope you will join your local liberty/tea party/grassroots clubs and get involved. Run for office, any office and work the principals of liberty back into the communities, the schools, the counties and states. Do something for God's sake. For the country's sake!
Stepping down off my soapbox......until the next time I get pissed off!
This woman wouldn't know the truth if it bit her in the ass! She is so used to lying and manipulating, I wonder if she's starting to believe her own lies. Like hubby, like wife, I suppose!
Uh huh!
So anyway, I made some notes while listening to the lying going on during the Benghazi Hearings yesterday and I wanted to share a few points. Hilary talks about the United States continuing to "lead" and how we cannot afford to pull out of anything at this point because we've made a lot of "progress". Yeah, progress has been made if you want to make the country the most hated country in the world, jmho! Anyway she goes on to say that when you don't have American presence in these regions then "extremism takes root, our interests suffer and the security at home is threatened". I would like to ask what, exactly, are OUR interests in Libya, Syria and now Mali which is located in east Africa? They keep saying that there are Al-Qeada extremists in all of these places and that we have to keep fighting them and making them go away and keep them from growing more anti-American rebels. I would also like to know how is security back home, here in America, threatened if we leave these war zones that we have helped create? I think for her to say that our security here is threatened is a bit of a stretch especially since We The People have been surveilled in every way they can possibly get away with! They aren't watching out for foreign terrorists, they're watching for domestic terrorists which is just crazy! If they were so worried about security at home, they would close and monitor the borders and keep people from coming in through Mexico ( and I'm not talking about Mexicans, I'm talking about real terrorists that love crossing from Mexico because it's so damn easy!) Extremism is growing in Egypt (Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood thanks to Obama's help with that) and in Libya ( what do you think the Benghazi attacks were all about? A "video"?) so they know damn well what they've done and how they have actually helped create more chaos in an area that used to contain an ally for the US.
Rand Paul blasted her and rightfully should have. All of the other dems basically slobbered all over her! It was absolutely disgusting to see them shower her with such praise after she watched our men die in that embassy, helped create a total regime change in Egypt to an anti-American ruling party which is now spreading like wildfire all over the region. And that is ALL on her! I've seen this woman's picture in almost every country, partying and gettin' jiggy wid it and having almost as much fun as the Obama's have had on all 19, multi-million dollar vacations. It' absurd to give her so much praise when she's made us the laughing stock in Russia and the UK, as well! She has no diplomacy! She has no right to be in this position and Rand was right to tell her she should have been relieved of her post! Here is that video here:
Rand knows exactly what he's talking about and even asked her a very unexpected question regarding an annex close to the Benghazi embassy that has been reported as selling and transferring arms from Libya to Turkey! Arms that came from us, I'm sure, just like in Fast and Furious. Clinton acted like she knew nothing about it. Really? Hadn't even heard anything on that subject, she said. If you're the Secretary of State and you knew nothing about the planned, coordinated attack or the warnings prior to the event, have no knowledge of why there was an attack but blamed an innocent man ANYWAY who is STILL in jail for an alleged warrant he had already, don't know anything on the sale and transfer of arms which has been reported on for the last several months and doesn't know if her ambassador might have been mixed up in those dealings, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING SECRETARY OF STATE!!
Here are some of the stories floating around the news outlets - the ones that actually report the real news!
(this one is VERY interesting) http://theworldlink.com/news/local/before-libya-s-turmoil-u-s-planned-arms-sale/article_d7a036a4-7b2f-53ae-afe8-869bbd170903.html
I mean you're going to sit there when all this information is already out there and being reported, that you have not HEARD of any of this? Mrs. Clinton, you are a liar! A liar like your husband is a liar! I find it almost amusing that Hilary talks about how she believes in complete transparency and being open with policy and telling the world and blahblahblahblah. It's all bull! This woman is a disaster and I'm glad she's gone. Now we just have to deal with another liar, John Kerry. Shoot me now!
Here is something else I absolutely do NOT like that she said, or yelled, at Senator Ron Johnson. This is the "what difference does it make?" remark:
<
What difference does it make? What difference does IT MAKE? How or why it happened? I'm going to say this again - it makes a big freaking difference when you blame an innocent man for a video that no one ever saw until SHE SAID and OBAMA SAID and the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAID that this video was to blame. She ruined a man's life to save her own ass! It makes a big difference when this whole thing happened possibly because of a arms selling scheme between the US and Libya and Turkey that was on the DL until all of this happened - it's the Libyan version of Fast and Furious, I shit you not!!
The last thing I want to touch on is when she made the comment that we have to do what we're doing because of of the new countries that we're dealing with (Mali) have no experience with "democracy" so according to her we must keep building these new democracies and enforcing our will upon these countries to make stronger countries blahblahblahblah.... so again, we're going to go into these little countries and bomb the people to get the bad guy or keep the bad guy from setting up camp and that's just the way it is.
That's just the way it is, folks. Under this administration, the wars will not stop and they will only increase. We are, again, nation building and getting involved in countries that we have no business going into in the first place. I'm not "blaming America first" but I am going to place the blame on the American government for running around the region with our drones and bombs and soldiers when these countries have done absolutely NOTHING to warrant our going in and doing harm. Our Founding Fathers are turning cartwheels in their graves. How is it that we are not putting these people in jail for their crimes? I mean, here in real life, if I'm with a friend that murders someone and I know about it and don't say anything about it and pretend it never happened, the cops are going to eventually find out and I would go to jail for being an accomplice to murder. How is it that these people are not held to the same legal standards as the rest of us? They KNOW everything that's going on. They have their hands in every dealing and if you are the Sec. of State and you have to have 19 different agencies and managers to do your job, you don't need to have the job at all. Unfortunately, nothing will ever happen to the Queen of America............
Normally, I don't like to write about the trending arguments that are going through the news sites and websites and other blogs because I worry that people get tired of having the same crap being jammed down our throats. I try to keep my posts a little different to avoid the monotony of hearing about the same shit all the time. Until today.
I am a HUGE lover of the constitution. It is a document that lays out in plain English what the rights of the citizens are and the rules that government cannot break (but they break them anyway). People love to argue that this is an old, archaic document; even barbaric <eyeroll> but it's not. This is the supreme law of the land. It's what separates this country from all of the others and why so many people flee their homes in search of a better, freer life. This document that specifically tells the government what it's not allowed to do and that The People are the ones in charge. The 2nd amendment is not only the right to bear arms, it is also a right to overthrow a government that has become tyrannical and dangerous. The authors of this beautiful document have said this over and over. Here are some quotes from some of the most famous of the creators of this Bill. You read them and you tell me what you think it means and then tell me what you think THEY meant.
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the
people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason
Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason
for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last
resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress
to infringe the just liberty of the Press, or the rights of Conscience;
or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable
citizens, from keeping their own arms; …" Samuel Adams
quoted in the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789, "Propositions submitted to the Convention of this State"
"Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are
the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence …
from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences
and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the
rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of
firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of
honor with all that's good." George Washington
First President of the United States
"The great object is that every man be armed." and "Everyone who is able may have a gun." Patrick Henry
American Patriot
"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation,
that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the
difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction
and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be
the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted
with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry
American Patriot
"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is
inherent in the people; that … it is their right and duty to be at all
times armed; … " Thomas Jefferson
letter to Justice John Cartwright, June 5, 1824. ME 16:45.
"The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution." Thomas Jefferson
Third President of the United States
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not
warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of
resistance. Let them take arms." Thomas Jefferson
to James Madison
Now.....are there ANY questions about what the 2nd amendment is for? It's not for hunting, it's not for recreation, it's for protection of thieves and from government. Yes, one in the same, I do realize the irony, LOL! But THAT is what our gun rights are for. Some people may call me inciteful and accuse me of trying to start a new revolution or that I am calling people to arms and run out and shoot the bastards that are destroying this country. That's not what I'm doing but I wouldn't be against it, either. I would totally support another revolution to get rid of this government and seat a new one - every last one of them, down to their receptionists. Sometimes, I pray that it happens but I'm not one to give up on peaceful solutions and would rather see this government be peacefully removed. So don't get all pissy with me, I'm not afraid to say what we are all thinking (except for the liberal commies who are so blinded by party they can't see or think for themselves) and I'm going to call out everyone that tries to tell me I don't have the right to have weapons.
Here's one more thing to consider while we are talking about tyrannical governments. I would like to point out that a good and just government would never have spent us almost 20 trillion dollars in debt, made plans to increase that debt, dismantle our military, share secrets with sworn enemies, violated Article 1, Section 8, voted to strip us of our 4th, 5th and 6th amendment rights, 10th amendment rights and most of our 1st amendment rights, begin paving the way to abolish the 2nd amendment rights. People, they have effectively abolished the Constitution at this point. There's but one or two more rights from the original 10 they haven't taken yet and one of them is the ultimate piece of control they want - your arms. They have said it publicly, they have called for people to turn them in, they have offered money in exchange for them. If you can't see that at this point, you are deaf, blind AND dumb. Not a good combination!
Piers Morgan seems to think we should get rid of the 2nd amendment and that anyone who supports it is "no friend of mine'. Here is my message to Piers Morgan and any other non-citizen living here:
Who gives a flying fuck what you think, you old, British rag??! Although you came to this country on your own accord, to make your money using our free market, capitalist system, you seem to think it's ok to tell us CITIZENS that we should get rid of our constitution? Our freedom? Our right to bear arms? Who the hell do you think you are, you would-be-speaking-german-if-it-weren't-for-us little snob? (one of my favorite lines from Friends,lol). It just irritates me to no end how you can come here and live in what used to be the Land of the Free and shit all over our constitution - that same constitution that you're using every single night on your show, called the 1st amendment. This isn't even your country, how dare you come over here and try to tell us how to live?! Why don't you go back home if it's such a grand and safe place! Why would you ever have left in the first place? What is it about America that you liked enough to come here and make a life? My advice to you, Piers, is you keep your trap shut about what rights we should or shouldn't have! It's those right that are given to us by God and no one else and if you and your fellow Brits had any balls at all, you would fight for those rights instead of trying to take them away from others. Like it or not, we have guns and we will keep them and if you don't like it sir, then GTFO!
Here is one more little tidbit I found that I would like to share. A small quote from a little Chinese dude:
Every Communist must grasp the truth, 'Political power grows out of
the barrel of a gun.'
-- Mao Tse-tung, 1938, inadvertently endorsing the Second Amendment.
These men got it right the first time. It is up to us to keep it that way. The alternative is something I don't ever want to think about......
