It is my SINCERE hope that out in the annals of the blogging and journalistic world, we have people furiously going through past words,interviews, and written statements to make damn sure that there is nothing else like this out there. I have a sinking feeling that there is and Claire and Co are not only aware of it, but have it already downloaded and ready to go. this woman is devious and very manipulative, she pushed him in the primaries because he was the weakest and easiest to beat. Ask yourself why that would be? Where there is smoke, there is fire. Does a 25 year politician(Akin) just up and say something that mind numbingly dumb only once, right after winning a tough primary and less than three months to a nation changing election? I doubt it, there is more out there waiting to be dumped, you can forgive a one time poor choice of words, but what about two times? three or more? He has to go today.

• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food;
• Single mothers and teen mothers should have their babies seized from them against their will and given away to other couples to raise;
• People who “contribute to social deterioration” (i.e. undesirables) “can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility” — in other words, be compelled to have abortions or be sterilized.
• A transnational “Planetary Regime” should assume control of the global economy and also dictate the most intimate details of Americans’ lives — using an armed international police force.

Think he couldn’t have possibly said these things? Wrong, every one of them is a direct quote from his own book for example:
Page 787-8: Mass sterilization of humans though drugs in the water supply is OK as long as it doesn’t harm livestock

Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.

OK, John, now you’re really starting to scare me. Putting sterilants in the water supply? While you correctly surmise that this suggestion “seems to horrify people more than most proposals,” you apparently are not among those people it horrifies. Because in your extensive list of problems with this possible scheme, there is no mention whatsoever of any ethical concerns or moral issues. In your view, the only impediment to involuntary mass sterlization of the population is that it ought to affect everyone equally and not have any unintended side effects or hurt animals. But hey, if we could sterilize all the humans safely without hurting the livestock, that’d be peachy! The fact that Holdren has no moral qualms about such a deeply invasive and unethical scheme (aside from the fact that it would be difficult to implement) is extremely unsettling and in a sane world all by itself would disqualify him from holding a position of power in the government. (h/t to Zombie news). Holdren is also on the record as wanting to give animals ,insects, and plants the right to sue in court. What the he!! is Mitt Romney, a CONSERVATIVE right?, even DOING 100 feet from a man with these ideals??????????/-this book was written in 1977! There is no way he was not aware of this, Harvard prof or not! Now let’s look at his dear wife Dr. Cheryl E. Holdren,bio scientist extraordinaire from…wait for it…Harvard-of course! The good Dr is involved in bio engineering ,through sterilization and population control, insects and butterflies- or at least so far anyway.. This married couple actually believes in global population control via either forced abortion, or sterilizing against their knowledge or will”undesirables” such as handicapped or mentally retarded people. Presumably that would mean with both sexes. They believe that single mothers should have their babies forcibly taken away to be raised by older more mature couples. That is not an exaggeration or hyperbole-it is directly quoted in his book. Please visit www.zombieland/JohnHoldren and read the entire article which details minutely everything I have stated here. The author has tabbed and cross tabbed extensively so you can really see for yourself. Caution though, make sure to drink a nice long swig of pepto before reading,because you will be sick to your stomach by the time you are finished.
This brings me to the point of this diary- we simply cannot allow these kind of freaks anywhere near having control over our lives through D.C. Yes, I am aware that Holdren is currently Obama’s science czar, but because he is under a progressive president, we keep an eagle eye on all of this egotistical know it all’s movements. Imagine should we have a pseudo-conservative President Romney and he sneaks Holdren in through the back door, or WORSE, simply just keeps him in place? Why wouldn’t he? He’s already worked with him in the past for pete’s sake! That is a chance I am unwilling to take.
We cannot allow an AGW believer the keys to the white house and the ability to craft EO’s giving the EPA and scum like Holdren more control over ours or our children’s lives. The AGW scam will be the undoing of us as a country. There are currently two believers in AGW  who are being pushed at us as top tier candidates for President-Romney and Cain. Romney hems and haws but  we have a record to judge him by and really he passed quite a few laws that cannot be walked back. Cain is more of a stealth AGW believer, or at least that is the conclusion I draw considering he sat on the board of directors of Avila, which was a “green” company that sold carbon and energy shares to it’s employees-Enron style. And Enron style, it too went belly up , causing it’s employees to lose everything and later sue in a class action lawsuit-which was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum of money. If Herman is not a believer in AGW, why would he sit on the board of a company that did and swindled it’s employees? Either he didn’t believe in it, but sat on the board just for the money knowing it was a scam, or he DOES believe in AGW and didn’t think it was a scam, but still wanted to make some money(capitalist-I have no problem with that) but he can’t have it both ways. Not willing to take a chance on that one.
Newt we all know is a proponent of AGW, Bachmann is a definite NO, but has no shot at winning and Paul is nuts. That leaves Perry, who is a very loud and aggressive opponent of the EPA. he has a long and consistent record of fighting them tooth and nail in Texas-in fact his new energy plan spells that out pretty clearly. he wants to repeal The clean Air act that gave them so much power over things that have nothing to do with Clean Air at all. Perry is not just talking out of both sides of his mouth, he can and has backed up everything he has claimed in this scenario.
is he perfect-nope, and he really shouldn’t be if we are honest, but does he have the right recipe for our country. Yes. Mitt has demonstrated ,once again that he a.) can’t be trusted,b.) has no judgement of long term consequences and c.) as Rush said Thurs.- he is NOT a conservative, but a blue dog dem at best and a progressive hiding in moderate clothing like Obama at worst.
The RINO establishment is trying to work behind the scenes to force Romney on us,betting we will vote for him even though we don’t want him because we don’t want Obama. This is their perfect chance to get a more “sophisticated,realistic.reasonable” so called Republican into office at the helm. He believes in the same things they believe in and they’ve decided for us- our opinions are quaint, but unwanted.    Us well meaning citizens are being led by the nose via NRO,and the rest of the establishment, TOWARDS a candidate (Cain) who everyone knows does not have the money,experience,or even campaign staff to win the nomination and AWAY from the candidate who can (Perry) who has the experience,money,campaign structure and record to win not only the nomination but the general. We are willing suckers in their little Versailles like plot to plant little hit pieces ,put out concern trolls,talking heads like York and Trinko to create the narrative. Who decided these people had any say? Stop reading their crap,stop watching their crap,stop buying their crap and make your decision based on your common sense and gut.I made a joke once that wouldn’t it be hysterically if at the ballot box we were handed a memo outlining each candidates actual record in office,his votes,statements,planks he ran on and the ones he actually put into practice and the people he surrounded himself with,his budget shortfalls or windfalls,etc,etc. There would be no names, just an option A and an option B,etc, no pictures, just a vote for his/her record and stances. Would sure save a lot on campaigning and we’d see pretty quickly which side our country was on ideology wise. No need for talking heads, or campaign activists masking themselves as journalists.
Let’s stop the bloodletting  amongst conservatives and hold Romney’s feet to the fire. The candidates who refuse to do that will have shown their cards, the ones who challenge him hard will be the ones to watch. Those would be the ones to coalesce around. To date, the ONLY one I’ve seen do that in any meaningful way is Perry. So we either continue with the sniping or put the gun down,quit participating with the media’s little game and force Romney to defend himself. It’s either beat them at their own snotty game, or watch Romney waltz right in. “The science is settled “you see, just ask Mitt Romney and John Holdren.

2.) I read that Cain runs his campaign with basically a skeleton staff. I also read that after the last debate and straw poll win, that Cain’s communication adviser resigned and took her senior assistant with her. That absolutely baffles me. I cannot come up with a rational explanation for why a campaign adviser would leave a campaign after such a big win and leave him with no one to lead his communications team. Maybe SHE might resign based on reason’s having nothing to do with the campaign, but why would she take her senior assistant too? It doesn’t add up. Thus it tends to make me think these gaffes and participating in the racial smearing of a fellow Republican for political gain are either the product of an inexperienced political naif or the calculated attempts at gaining media coverage,albeit very,VERY,badly carried out in process. This plan might have been why this women packed up and left wanting no part of it. Cain is not a politician, so up until yesterday, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, a little bit of extra space to feel his way around the political stage. Then I watched him say he would support the voter’s choice of a nominee and would give everyone ELSE 100 percent ,except Perry. He went one further by stating he wouldn’t even entertain being Perry’s vice president if asked, anyone else but Perry. At that point,his campaign rocket that had been on the ascent, did a complete nose dive and crashed hard into the ground before bursting into all consuming flames. ARE these the actions of a rookie, or are they the actions of a cold mind trying to remove another candidate no matter what the consequence. It is clear that Cain does not just want to get the nod as the sole conservative, he wants to DESTROY Perry,ruin any political chance he has now or even in the future-PALIN STYLE. His actions speak louder than words. I can’t help but come to this conclusion but the real question is WHY?

3.) This leads me to my very last glimmer of an idea. It could be all wrong, it could not, but I think it has something to do with the Fed. Perry wants to get rid of the Fed, wants it audited and it’s books and members made public. We all know the Fed is compromised of the very wealthy banks,etc, it has even been said that some of those banks are foreign and some of those banks took government bail outs. People just don’t know WHO. Cain was the head of the Fed in Kansas, was for TARP and is against auditing the Fed. He did not like Perry’s remark about Bernanke printing more money and creating inflation, and his 999 plan amounts to a tax increase of 9 percent in addition to whatever other taxes you pay in your state and cities, thus supposedly keeping down inflation and perhaps allowing the fed to print MORE. But how about you keep down inflation by not printing more money instead? Could some of the big banks be behind Cain’s vehemence toward Perry? Much finer minds then my own could ponder this more deeply and come to an entirely different conclusion and I would welcome, in fact seek their input.

4.) ORRRR, Cain might, indeed, have decided to throw caution to the wind, and destroy all good will towards him and his campaign, by going extremely negative on a fellow candidate because he mistakenly thinks the tea party and conservatives who support him WANT to see that directed at OTHER Republicans, INSTEAD, of Obama. Where he could have gotten that idea is beyond me and shows an incredible lack of understanding of the feeling in this country. We don’t want to see one conservative participating in racially smearing another conservative. We don’t want to see intentionally misleading statements(soft on immigration) made  by a man who prefaces his statement with the line “I have not read all of his positions on immigration yet….BUT”, and we certainly don’t want to see a candidate actually FOMENT the rise of a third party candidate by saying he wouldn’t support a nominee 100 percent. That just screams of an amateur, someone without the necessary thinking capacity to realize when he has been played for a fool by the media and others. I would really appreciate other’s views on this, am not afraid of criticism, or debate.

A little background first, We are currently stationed at a base in Georgia, even though we are registered voters in Texas via absentee because we are a military family. We have a tea party of around 550 people, (in a neighboring city)although our numbers swell when there are trips, or events to attend. Our make up is mostly seniors, with about 50 percent, 30-40 year olds come in around another 40 percent and under thirty comes in at 10 percent. Because we are near a military base, we have all nationalities, all races represented.

After we show our little presentation, we open up the floor for feedback to see where our group stands at this moment, what we have issues with and would like to see addressed,the negatives, the positives,etc.,etc. This group was decidedly pro-Perry last time, with a few Romney supporters and a few Cain supporters, the month before(Aug) it had been pro-Bachmann. After showing clips of the last debate, we showed the interviews with each candidate.
Perry got a negative reaction at first for immigration (heartless comment), but then his subsequent interview explaining his stance in detail  and his apology for the heartless comment righted that sinking ship PDQ. The consensus came to the conclusion he is not good at debates- the same as last time.
Cain got positive feedback from the debate, but then shot himself in the foot with the interview on CNN saying he would not support Perry if he were the nominee. Then we showed the tape with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday and the reaction was VISCERAL, downright fury. Living in the south and the same state Cain is from, we are all so damn tired of the race card being played, especially in the case of a story that originated from the WAPO and had only vague details,anonymous sources and regarded a rock from decades ago. Cain jumped on it- and completely undid all the good he has done in the past few weeks. “Cambridge police acted stupidly” was said by quite a few people.
Romney has never done well with our group, and this time was no exception, debate wise, few people knew he had written a hard copy book let alone that he had edited out language referring to Romneycare in his paperback when he decided to run and Obamacare was so unpopular. That was another strike, then came the ad from Romney saying Perry was for illegal immigration, which having just seen Perry explain his stance on in state tuition moments before, was demonstrably false and the reaction to Romney’s ad were scoffs of disgust. At my advice,one of our leaders put together a flow chart of Romney’s many stances on major issues,each with dates for comparison -she did it in the starburst fashion with the issue in a circle in the center and the various positions coming out like rays so you could really see the multiple changes. It was a sight to see- somebody took a copy so he could show it at his job.
So what was the final consensus? No body’s mind was changed, the Romney voters (all 4 percent of them) are still going with Romney, the majority who are planning to vote for Perry are still planning to vote for Perry and the biggest winner of the debate,Cain, dinged himself by saying he would not support Perry as a nominee. People were willing to overlook that, but after showing the Wallace interview, he just devastated himself , people wondered out loud, if like Obama, they disagreed with Cain on an issue would he then play the race card on them too? Also having been for TARP and then hesitant on investigating the FED, how sure could they be that he wasn’t after all, willing to spend our money like a big government Republican? The race card was a deal breaker, all new polling coming out now doubtfully was taken before that statement and will also just as surely, later show a steep drop.
FTR, I am a Perry voter and will vote for him regardless (we are from Texas and have known and lived under his policies for years) , the majority of my tea party will do the same and believe they can’t trust a single word the media writes or utters(sadly FOX is now also in this category), short of Perry committing murder or a felony crime, all of these people will still vote for him. The same cannot be said about Romney- we hear an alarming amount of people stating(mostly the seniors) that they will not vote for him period. If there is a third party they will vote for that person instead . One elderly guy said very matter of factly to me,” If these young voters turn out to be fools and decide to go for  ANOTHER greasy car salesman who will say anything to be elected then let them own it, I ain’t gonna live for ever and I will not vote for a non conservative, so if all that is left is a protest vote-so be it” I’ve said this many times, but IMHO, Romney cannot be elected in the South- he is pro/anti/pro/anti abortion and both he and his wife donated to Planned Parenthood,he is a decidedly anti-2nd amendment, big government, AGW believing, pro taxing and the real clincher is Romney care. Even selecting a Rubio or a southern VP will not save him with those stances. He has no chance whatsoever in our area. These meetings only solidify for me the feeling out here away from the D.C. beltway and metro areas.
So, regardless of the media narrative of Perry’s campaign crashing and burning,regardless of polls,etc-nothing has changed here except Cain’s favorable opinion. It is interesting that in spite of the polling and media stories, Mitt is STILL putting out attack ads and hit pieces on Perry-he shows who he really fears and knows Cain is indeed the flavor of the month. Cain is still my second choice, although he has really fallen in my eyes this past week. I hope he can redeem himself because he is for the most part a good decent guy who just does not have the political experience to avoid stepping into these media traps, he is in for some real on the job training.

1552 registered voters interviewed by phone by college kids. 596 were Republicans and Republican ‘leaners’. In other words, 2/3s of those surveyed were not Republican, nor indies who lean Republican (read: not conservative), nor will they vote in the Republican primary.

To repeat-That means that out of the 1552 voters interviewed-956-were not going to be voting in the Republican primaries at all! 75 percent were democrats in this poll and yet somehow, Perry STILL has a four point lead. This poll also has a margin of error of nearly 5 percentage points which pretty much makes it junk off of the top,IMHO. I find it mighty curious that in South Carolina,for Heaven’s sake!, this college couldn’t find 1552 registered REPUBLICANS to put in their poll of the REPUBLICAN PRIMARY? Why the need to muddy the waters by adding in any democrats at all,let alone 2/3 of the sample? Unless, your goal was to make a headline for your college? Perhaps to make it appear as if there is a possibility of a Romney surge in that state? I’ve seen some establishment type republicans jump on this poll in near desperation. I always look at precisely WHO these types are and they are always the same cast of characters-Karl Rove(axe to grind),Dick Morris(paid adviser who Perry turned down),Trinko from National Review,ETC,ETC. Pretty much whatever these three spout off, I consider the exact opposite to be the case in reality. So far all three rant and rave about SSN being a dead weight albatross around Perry’s neck-everyone but these three know that not to be the case and yet they repeat it ad nauseum and will look for ANY tiny little speck of hope,regardless of credibility,to back up their claim.
If South Carolina votes for Romney,I will donate my house to charity. That simply is not going to happen,if you live in the south -you simply know the feeling of the people here,not only is he a Yankee(believe me that matters),he enacted Romneycare(death knell in the south for his campaign),his position on abortion changes repeatedly(deal breaker), and he obviously PANDERS-no straight talk or uncomfortable truths that you have known in your gut all along but were just CHOMPING AT THE BIT for a person in a position of authority to say out loud. I have looked at this poll in all ways possible and it is clear to me that it was put out to push a meme. It is junk,however, I would be quite curious to see how DEMOCRATIC primaries in the different states would play out if 2/3 of the voters polled were actually REPUBLICAN voters who wouldn’t be able to vote in said primaries regardless,so their opinions absolutely made no difference anyway. Yes,QUITE INTERESTED,INDEED.

1) There was a firefight.
2) There was no firefight.
3) Bin Laden was “resisting.”
4) Bin Laden wasn’t armed. (Makes the concept of “resisting” interesting.)
[4.a) And the newest one: the SEALS thought bin Laden was reaching for a weapon.]
5) He used his wife as a shield.
6) His wife was killed too.
7) He didn’t use his wife as a shield. She ran at a SEAL who shot her in the leg, but she’s fine.
8 ) Some other woman — the maid? — was used as a shield. By somebody. Downstairs.
9) That other woman — downstairs — was killed.
10) Maybe not. She was killed unless she wasn’t — and who was she, anyway?
11) Bin Laden’s son was killed.
12) Unless it was some other guy.
13) Bin Laden’s daughter saw him get killed. She’s undoubtedly traumatized, poor dear.
14) They were going to capture Bin Laden until the problem with the helicopter, which was:
A) It had mechanical trouble
B) It did a hard landing
C) It crashed
D) It clipped a wall with a tail rotor, effectively a crash

15.) They were never going to try to capture him; it was always a kill mission.
16.) No, it wasn’t.
17) The chopper blew up.
18) The SEALs blew it up.
19.) Panetta said yesterday the world needed proof and the photo would be released.
20.) Obama said today in an interview he taped with Steve Kroft for “60 Minutes” to be broadcast Sunday that it won’t be released. It’s too gruesome, would offend Muslim sensibilities (something he worries about a lot — I personally do not give a warm fart on a wet Wednesday about Muslim sensibilities), and how would Americans feel if Muslims released pictures of dead Americans?
21.) Kroft — who’s not a total idiot — pointed out that ever since “Black Hawk Down” days, Muslims have been doing precisely that, filming American bodies being dragged through the streets, filming Daniel Pearl’s head being cut off, filming any and everything.
22) Obama gets pissed at CBS, the tape gets cleaned up, that question disappears. (Inside info.)
23.) We got a “treasure trove” of stuff from hard drives, etc.
24.) There were no phone lines, and no internet access at the “mansion,” they didn’t even have TV — what “treasure trove?”
25.) There is obviously in the pictures of the place a large satellite dish. I guess they used it for making salads.
26.) And now, just today: apparently the idea was to capture him, but only if he was naked. There was a suspicion he might be wearing a suicide bomber type explosive vest, or belt. So if he’s not naked and you can’t see if he has a vest on or not – shoot him.

Is this really “fog of war”?

Then , we have the oil rig explosion off of the coast of Louisiana. The Deepwater Horizon oil rig, has an explosion and as if on cue, the media and newspapers scream about pollution in the water and new EPA regulations needed. This all happens about a month after Obama  signs an executive order opening up some areas for deepwater drilling,much to his liberal base’s dismay. Am I crazy here or is is it just a little too convenient that in the exact same month that Obama and the senate are starting to push a cap and trade bill,not one ,but TWO catastrophes happen that they rush to portray as proof positive that more EPA regulation is just the cure required? I’ll accept the paranoid moniker,but should we see a natural gas explosion or crisis of some kind-we seem to have a pattern . There is an appropriate saying that the Marines use that I will paraphrase here- “ONCE IS HAPPENSTANCE,TWICE IS A COINCIDENCE,THREE TIMES IS ENEMY ACTION.” It does not escape my notice that each one of Obama’s policy initiatives and the resulting bill, has been precluded by an “emergency” of some sort. One is left to wonder if these crises are generated to get the desired effect or just miraculously happen at just the right time to get an agenda item passed. I’m not a betting woman, but 2 and 2 are not adding up to four here. I will wait very patiently for someone to prove me wrong in my suspicions.

A quick look back at the years 1935 and 1936 reminds us that in that time the Supreme Court struck down 8 of FDR’s social welfare programs as being unconstitutional.This resulted in his fatal overreach . He referred to SCOTUS as “nine old men” to garner public support and then thinking he had the people’s and the Congress’s backing, FDR then attempted to water down his opposition. Upset that the Court was hampering, even destroying, his successes in Congress, FDR submitted a bill  to the Congress that doomed his ” 100 days plan to jam bills through congress” SOUND FAMILIAR? Known as court packing, FDR submitted a proposal to force mandatory retirement

on any Justice over a certain age (which would have eliminated three of his opponents) and to expand the size of the Supreme Court from 9 to 12. Congress was outraged that anyone would try to control the Supreme Court like that and suddenly became much less amenable to FDR’s further attempts at legislation.

FDR didn’t have much of a choice in “court packing.” It made no difference that he had a free hand with Congress if the Supreme Court nullified and invalidated everything that the Congress passed! He was forced to play the only card he had—support in Congress—to try to reduce the Court’s ability to hamstring his New Deal legislation. In this gamble Mr. Roosevelt lost. He remained an effective president and did much to ease the Great Depression, but never again was he given such a free hand in creating law and initiating policy.

That brings me to my second point, which is that with New Deal programs that were not struck down. a small group in congress known as the conservative coalition stuck together , even in the face of overwhelming democratic majorities in both houses. By holding their ground and remaining resolved, the conservative coalition was able to shut down a large part of the NEW DEAL when the US entered WWII.

If we look to our history as “guideline “, we can see the parallels of our past repeating themselves today.Lucky for us , we also have a blueprint on how to defeat a whole new crop of entitlement programs. The way forward is known-we need the WILL to get it done. I think we have it and I am committed to doing whatever is required of me.

Fact 1)-We let ourselves get complacent and forgot about our civic duties that were given to us through other’s costly and hard won efforts via the constitution.How many of us were sure to vote but didn’t really do a whole lot of research on candidates or just voted on ballots where there were names we were unaware of,but voted for ,nonetheless because there was an R by their names? How many of us knew the constitution front to back before last year? How many of us paid attention to votes on CSPAN and checked our side’s rhetoric against their voting record. I’d hazard a guess at not many,myself included.As bizarre and uncomfortable as the notion is-Obama handed us a GREAT gift-through his own inept ,deaf and partisan efforts-he managed to do what seemed impossible a year ago-he galvanized an entire nation to shake off their stupor and GET INVOLVED. There will be no more half hearted elections any longer where we vote for the lesser of two evils.We are no longer uninformed and rely on media outlets and pundits to spoon feed us their interpretations and agendas.Many of us rarely if ever used twitter,facebook,or even internet blogs until today. The days of talking with family,friends, and neighbors-even strangers off of the streets are back with a vengeance. We are awake and  we will not be falling back asleep anytime soon, democrats. We are not retreating-we are reloading.

Fact 2) I have never in my life been prouder to be a conservative,our representatives held firm in their resolve and refused to back down. Through our and their strongly held beliefs and the planks of our party-we HELD OUR GROUND and forced Obama to water his HCR bill down so much that it is a weak and feckless piece of paper. His own base got absolutely nothing out of it other than bragging rights that their president FINALLY accomplished SOMETHING after 16 months as President. I suspect that in a month or so-their euphoria will wear off and they will start looking at how they were gamed by their own party. No single payer,no medicare buy-in,no public option,a mandate(payoff) to insurance companies,less health care and the IRS breathing down their backs-reconciliation will only make it worse-YEAH

-it won’t be long before that exploding time bomb goes off in the progressive party.Call your representatives and congressmen and thank them wholeheartedly for their efforts.

Fact 3) There will be no more bills passed in this congress.The republicans to their credit held off the ENTIRE Obama agenda other than this weak version of health care.No immigration bill will make it through the senate without their 60 votes,cap and trade is gone,card check is a thing of the past, and even closing GITMO is kaput. IF reconciliation goes through the senate(and I doubt they will even attempt it),it will take another one to two months off of the docket-that brings us into June-it is an election year-there will be no more bills passed because of the need for members to get back into their districts to campaign(er,plead with their constituents). That buys us time-we will use every single second of it.

Fact 4) We must now take one to two days to cry in the closet,down a bottle of Jack,or beat an inanimate object up(may I recommend chopping wood,kneading bread, or the rifle range?-my personal favorite is screaming while I mow the lawn,but alas,the grass isn’t up yet.THEN ,we MUST jump full board into the upcoming election. ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES-We will make darn sure that Obama and the dimwit, deaf democrats will learn this the very hard and painful way. Candidate research is especially important . Everyday,all day make it a goal to talk to at least three new people regarding conservative principals-a lot of people don’t know what they believe and go along with the crowds-we need to stem that tide. I plan to walk neighborhoods,go to churches,grocery stores and public events and hand out literature.If it is a fair,a community event, at a restaurant-whatever get your talking points out and start talking. We are all already doing that-we need to KEEP doing that,myself included.

Fact 5) It is time to tune out the media chatter for the next week,ignore the bragging from left wing news media who will be sure to inflate polls,hype the democratic message, and report breathlessly on their chosen one. Their desperation for something,ANYTHING good to report tells us all we need to know. Instead,turn your eyes to your families, take a hard look at your finances and tighten your belts as much as possible for any upcoming economic disasters that could befall us, and continue going to church and praying. We will get through this one second at a time,one minute at a time and one day at a time. In the military,our wives group has a saying-”We can’t all be strong all of the time,but we can borrow strength from each other when we need it” the same applies here. In the wise words of none other than YODA himself,”there is no try-you either do it or you don’t” but we all know sometimes we need a little support from others to get it done. Our founders did it,facing MUCH steeper odds and we can and WILL do it too.It is the end of the first quarter in a four quarter game,the dimwits won the first round,we will win the other three.

Fact 6) Every time Obama has tried to impose something unconstitutional it has come back to bite him hard. We saw him try to sign a treaty in Copenhagen and be forced to retreat because of Senator Inhofe and many others outing him,we saw him try to write an executive order for the EPA that congress refused to fund, we saw him try to bring terrorists to trial in NYC only to have congress refuse to fund it, we saw him try to pass an unconstitutional DEEM AND PASS strategy for health care only to have his own party members refuse to go along.These are all good signs,but I doubt they are the end of his misbegotten actions to subvert our constitution. The Marines have a saying I love” Once is happenstance,twice a coincidence,three times is enemy action.” Make no mistake-he IS the enemy of our constitution-we need to fight tooth and nail to frame his attempts in the most negative and embarrassing light as possible.

P.S.just for full disclosure, I used to be a political pollster and am manipulative by nature-just saying
