    USFWS Impedes America Economy While Supporting OPEC
    On December 6, 2010 Obama nominated Daniel M. Ashe to head and direct the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). What is the USFWS and who is Ashe? I feel that both questions are fairly simple to answer.
    The USFWS has impeded job growth, slowed the economy, restricted freedoms, restricted access to American lands by American people, is being used as a proxy arm of the government to black mail and beat into submission organizations like Gibson that are not supporters of the regime, and is being used, in a manner of speaking, to promote American reliance on a terrorist supporter for oil.

      The Law of the Sea Treaty could not pass congress. Obama signed an EO to set up the UN Council, that is in charge of overseeing this project (Project 21). Because it is a treaty, 2/3rds of the Senate must vote on it. It was never brought up in the Senate, as Obama did it with an EO. Obama’s signature can and should be overturned by the next incoming R president. This is yet another item to add to the list of impeachable offenses against Obama. This had little play or time in the news when it was done. I believe many were still “giving him a chance” at the time.

    Numerous years and many millions of taxpayer dollars were spent going after Tom DeLay for “laundering” money, where “laundering” meant figuring out a way that party X could make campaign donations to party Y via party Z. No one stole anyone else’s money, and the desire all along was to move the money from point X to point Y.

    The total amount involved? A whopping $190,000.

    When both Bachmann and Palin came out with fists blazing against Perry for his Merck donation, right after the debate, they actually made themselves look small and petty, calling Perry a Crony Capitalist. They attack a fellow Republican, for a $6,000 donation while the Solyndra scandal is building into a bonfire. Then of course there is also LighSquared, and GE has been in the WH and Obama’s pocket since his coronation. Oh, and don’t forget google. This is why so many are having big problems with the so-called conservative ladies. They have no ability to look at the bigger picture, and to screetch against the real leader of the Crony Capitalists, Obama.

    Only criminals can incriminate themselves.

    I say give one of them immunity and watch him sing.
