Election Season 2014

And it has brought us to this trainwreck called ObamaCare and we have bankrupted our kids and grandkids!

We are now headed into the 2014 Election Season and common sense and conservatism are on the rise. Please stand-up and be counted!

Reading Collusion: How the Media Stole the 2012 Election is a great place to start!

The Founding Father's Real Reason for the Second Amendment

And remember the words of Thomas Jefferson "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."

Jobs Bill Force States to Surrender Sovereignty - Wake Up Governors!!

clip_image002

Section 376 of Obama’s tax and spend “jobs” bill ends state sovereignty, turns our Republic into a dictatorship and destroys the foundation upon which our country was built. The fundamental transformation of America is almost complete.

Read the bill. (Emphasis added)

“SEC. 376. FEDERAL AND STATE IMMUNITY.

(a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act.

(b) Waiver of State Immunity-

(1) IN GENERAL-

(A) WAIVER- A State’s receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any program or activity of a State shall constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity, under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution or otherwise, to a suit brought by an employee or applicant for employment of that program or activity under this Act for a remedy authorized under Section 375(c) of this Act.

(B) DEFINITION- In this paragraph, the term `program or activity’ has the meaning given the term in section 606 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-4a).”

Here is the link to 42 USC 2000d-4a which defines “program or activity”:

“For the purposes of this subchapter, the term “program or activity” and the term “program” mean all of the operations of

(1)
(A) a department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of a State or of a local government; or

(B) the entity of such State or local government that distributes such assistance and each such department or agency (and each other State or local government entity) to which the assistance is extended, in the case of assistance to a State or local government;”

Also…

any part of which is extended Federal financial assistance.”

The above is stated as an extension of the actual citation of the general section itself.

More from Section 376 (emphasis added):

“(2) EFFECTIVE DATE- With respect to a particular program or activity, paragraph (1) applies to conduct occurring on or after the day, after the date of enactment of this Act, on which a State first receives or uses Federal financial assistance for that program or activity.”

Wake up Governors!! Wake up America!! Tell Congress about Section 376 and why they must not pass this bill.

Obama’s tax and spend “jobs” bill is a stealth move to end state sovereignty and transform what made our nation the greatest country the world has ever known. If Obama’s bill passes, kiss freedom goodbye and say hello to tyranny.

Turning Red – Shedding the White and Blue

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton  -  the NoisyRoom

Turning Red – Shedding the White and Blue

The masks are all coming off and the unions are one with the Communists now. The comrades in arms are stirring the chaos and violence pot calling for all out war with the Tea Party and American Conservatives, with the blessings of the President. One might wonder how a radical minority could push for violent confrontation with the majority in America and get away with it – great planning and execution of the Cloward and Piven strategy is the answer. You can hear the cries of Za Rodinu! ringing on the American battlefield.

The unions and Communists have found brothers in arms in the Progressive Right as well. Witness the vicious attacks on Sarah Palin from Republican pundits such as Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter. They wasted no time in trying to denigrate Palin while pushing known Progressives on the Right such as Mitt Romney and Chris Christie. Don’t be fooled… same Progressive dance, different political tune. These are not the Conservatives you are looking for.

Using a panoply of derogatory terms such as Hobbits, terrorists, barbarians at the gates, Nazis etc. to label Constitutional Conservatives, the Left is in full ‘provoke’ mode since theymust have violent confrontation to further the goals of the Communists. Violence must reign in the streets if the top is to come down on Americans with Martial law and a suspension of Constitutional rights. It is the only real way a dictatorship can take hold. It’s their hoped for checkmate.

And it would seem, that the country so far is declaring a great big old ‘meh’ when these things occur. For instance, take a look at the free pass the International Longshore and Warehouse Union got after kidnapping security guards and then holding them hostage. Some were arrested, but only for trespassing. I’m sorry, I thought kidnapping was a crime… Probably only for Conservatives though. Then there is the awesome language being hurled at Tea Party members from union thugs. Not only vile, but threatening. Nudge, poke, push, shove.

Our President travels with, hobnobs with and evidently, cuddles with union thugs. His BFF, Richard Trumka, has blood all over his hands and dirty money stuffed in his thuggish pockets. He doesn’t give a damn about union members. No, his main course is power and wealth. The man sold his black shriveled soul long ago and walks with Communists and brutes to attain what he wants. He even stooped to politicizing 9-11 for the unions’ benefit, incredibly blaming Conservative leaders for the current state of ‘hate’ in the nation:

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released a statement Friday commemorating the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 — and promptly turned it into a political opportunity to bash Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove and other conservatives for opening “the door to hate” in the decade since the attacks:

Wealthy CEOs, anti-government extremist front groups and frothing talk show hosts—from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks to the Koch brothers, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the American Legislative Exchange Council—also pushed open the door to hate.

Jimmy Hoffa is certainly no better and his call to “take these son of a b*tches out,” (re: Tea party) is heartfelt and sincere. And if he has to spill blood and leaves corpses in the union wake, well it’s the union way. Yep, the union jackals flank Obama waiting for fresh meat to be thrown their Communist way. And Obama is just itching to gather Tea Party activists to throw to his pets. Count on it.

The unions are raping America of every dime they can get from her before she falls. This is not your father’s union any more and to stand with them is to walk the red line. There will be blood in the streets, of that I have no doubt. The unions and the Communists have been emboldened and encouraged by President Obama. They see this as their time and their chance to seize control through another massive expansion of federal power and through force and violence. And it is not only the unions, but from within Obama’s ranks that you see strident calls from the likes of Valerie Jarrett to just pass the new American Jobs Act which hasn’t even been put on paper yet, much less read and studied. They really believe all of us are stupid and just need to do what we are told. Just ask Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus.

Will anyone have the guts in the mainstream media to research all the ties between Obama and the unions and the Communist Party? Follow the stench of corruption, money and violence. All roads lead to the White House.

The Communist attack dog People’s World is touting Obama’s American Jobs Act which is an American sacrifice on the alter of big labor. It will not create jobs, it will simply funnel more money to the unions and the Communist movement. This is not what the majority of union workers want I would wager and I know this is not what America needs. It is another nail in the coffin struck by those ushering in the American Fall. In their own words:

President Obama gave a forceful speech and proposal for jobs Sept. 8 before a joint session of Congress. It may well have been a turning point moment in his administration.

Faced with a persistent economic crisis and growing grassroots call for action to address it, the president proposed the $450 billion American Jobs Act.

The American Jobs Act has the potential to unite broad sections of the U.S. public. A bipartisan bill drawn from both Democratic and Republican proposals, Obama’s jobs bill begins to address the unemployment crisis by spending on roads, schools and summer youth jobs, extension of unemployment compensation and tax breaks for businesses.

And more:

The president has called on the American people to join him in calling for the legislation’s passage.

Over the coming weeks, rallies, vigils, flash mobs, letter-writing campaigns, phone banks, even work place job actions directed at Congress will have to occur on an unprecedented scale to demand action in support of the president’s proposal.

The president has called for youth summer jobs program and rebuilding public schools. Young people and students have an important stake in this legislation passage. Their creativity, energy, ideas and fighting spirit will add an essential ingredient.

Millions of signatures have to be gathered in support of the AFL-CIO’s and other jobs petitions.

Last night the president made it clear that he stands four square in favor of jobs, collective bargaining, along with Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. Those that favor democracy and equality can do no less.

The call has been made. No excuses. The time to act is now.

There you have it. Conflict and violence is coming. Can you feel it? You can pretend this is not happening and bury your heads in the sand. But, trust me, your enemies are not doing that. They are about to strike what they hope will be the killing blow to the world’s only free Republic and usher in a Totalitarian regime where the elite rule over an enslaved class of underlings – that would be the American people. The unions are turning red and shedding the white and blue. Don’t let them steal America’s colors and whitewash their red violence in pursuit of a new dark age.

A House in chaos

This composite shows Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel.

Is Pelosi Losing Grip on the House?

For a few hours Thursday night, the House of Representatives was in chaos.

Shortly after dinnertime, New York Democrat Charlie Rangel emerged from his private hideaway after news broke that he would be admonished by the House ethics committee.

But reporters in the Capitol rushed right past Rangel to ask House Democratic leaders about a critical intelligence bill that had just been pulled over a torture provision. The language had been inserted in defiance of leadership by House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.).

At the same time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was slated to meet with leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus to try to salvage a routine $15 billion jobs bill that had turned into a piƱata for progressives, the moderate Blue Dog Coalition and members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Any of these three issues — a floundering jobs bill, a hastily scotched intelligence authorization or an ethics committee admonishment of the powerful chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee — would qualify as a midlevel crises.

Together, these incidents illustrated a chamber in a minimeltdown near week's end.

“It’s a mystery how that language got in there,” Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) said of the controversial intelligence bill provision backed by Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.). “I think there are a lot of issues about the drafting of the McDermott amendment.”

House leaders huddled on the floor to figure out what to do next when they realized that the language — adopted by Slaughter’s panel the day before — could kill the bill. The spot they chose was only 15 feet or so from the one in the well of the House where Rangel had just lit into ethics Chairman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Jo Bonner (R-Ala.) in full view of their colleagues and the galleries above the chamber.

As the intelligence bill was melting down, word began circulating that House leaders might bypass the Rules Committee altogether on a jobs bill because members from multiple factions were threatening to vote against a rule that would allow its consideration.

Black lawmakers say the package is skimpy and Blue Dogs are upset that it would take a waiver of deficit-reduction rules to pass the House. Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) objected to the apportionment of a small tranche of highway dollars in the measure.

But House leaders are nearly convinced that rank-and-file lawmakers won’t quash a jobs bill if they are faced with a vote on it. So, they began discussing whether to bring it up under suspension of the rules, which would require a two-thirds vote for passage but eliminate the sticky trick of getting the votes to allow it to be considered.

Meanwhile, Rangel dragged Lofgren and Bonner into two meetings in his private office just off the House floor. The ethics admonishment, leveled because of actions taken by Rangel’s aides, was accompanied by one for the ethics committee’s own former counsel, opening the door to the question of who is to blame if ethics rules are broken by the ethics committee itself.

After consulting with the ethics leaders, Rangel finally emerged to face the cameras, only to find print reporters sprinting past him to get the scoop on other legislative matters.

Amazingly, Rangel’s latest scandal was playing second fiddle even in his own home state, where a brouhaha continued over whether Gov. David Paterson’s administration improperly used state resources to intimidate a woman who accused a gubernatorial aide of domestic violence.

And all this as news of a disheartened public reacting negatively to Obama’s arrogance at the healthcare summit earlier in the day, that turned out to be the sham that most expected, was pouring in.

House leaders seemed likely to have at least the intelligence bill — and perhaps the jobs bill — in better position by Friday.

But for a few hours Thursday, nothing seemed to be going right.

“Can’t anybody here play this game?” joked a Democratic aide whose sense of humor remained intact.
