Matthews then attempted to correct the record to say that what he meant to say is that Obama is the person who closed the racial divide in America. Really?

I think Obama was the benefactor of the racial divide being closed...by Republicans! And there are many black Republican soldiers still battling against the racial divide that continues to this day, because of racists like Matthews, Reid, Biden, Dean. Does Clarence Thomas ring a bell Pavlov?

Obama is a fisher of men. His new middle-class tax cut program is very simply a fishing expedition for the price it will take to BUY the middle-class--at least his definition of "middle-class."


Obama and his team are clever in their presentation, because the middle-class quickly forgets this little factoid: It?s YOUR money he is using as an incentive!

What are the overtures?the bait?Obama uses to fishhook middle-class Americans? According to this report from ABC news, one of the incentives Obama is offering is a tax incentive on child care. Big whoop.

These days the average ?working American? now works through August for the government. At this rate, why not just turn the kids over to the government, and let the government raise them! I'm sure the media won't mind!

This tax incentive essentially rebates part of YOUR money, but is limited to people who make less than $115,000?about two seconds of interest on the national debt. To ignorant people, $115K sounds like a lot of money. I assure you this is not much money for a family of four, particularly when those kids get to college age.

The bigger picture is that here again, Obama is setting the hook on what is rich and what is not. And more than $115K is apparently rich. That?s not even Paris Hilton's purse budget for a month!

I pray that each of you experience the fullness of God's love this new year. We celebrate today the amazing miracle that changed mankind. God gave us his son. Christ took upon himself all of sins. and washed our souls clean. In this profound and great love there is happiness and joy. I pray that all of you experience it. Let God into your heart. He picks up the broken pieces and makes it all beautiful.

People are still protesting in Iran over the sham of an election. People like Neda are dying while protesting. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of Musavi. But people should have the right to vote for their leader, and they should not be killed for protesting.

North Korea has nukes, and according to Japan, has plans to fire at Hawaii in early July. I don't think that those are the kind of fireworks we want on Independence Day.

ABC will air an ObamaCare infomercial tomorrow night, and the Republicans or anyone with an opposing viewpoint is explicitly not invited. So much for unbiased media reporting. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

California is bankrupt, and instead of cutting some massive pork projects, they're cutting tax exemptions and closing state parks.

Several people were killed in a DC train crash.

And Perez Hilton got punched in the face.

At least one thing in the news this week made me smile!

Well, no sooner does Newt jump into the race than he basically shoots himself in the foot. Pushed into a corner by David Gregory on Sunday’s Meet the Press, Gingrich said that he supports a sliding scale system that requires everyone to participate and contribute to the health care system. This is not in contradiction [...]

It is becoming increasingly difficult, frustrating, and disappointing to watch Barack Obama blunder his way like Mr. Magoo through the perils that this nation is facing during his presidency. It is my hope that the declines in his favorable/unfavorable ratings amongst the electorate are indicators that perhaps others are seeing his ineptness and becoming increasingly [...]

This is NOT the same video they had up yesterday. They made it private/hid it today and then came up with the new-and-improved version of GSK Straight Talk.

See what happens when you don?t pay attention?

I wonder if Huffington Post is paying attention.

I'm beginning to believe that Satan lives at Planned Parenthood.

Remember that video made by SGK titled:

Straight Talk from Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, Founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen ???


SGK took it down.

They went back on their word.

Did you read the Huffington Post article all the way?

"To be clear, Komen's apology is not a promise to renew Planned Parenthood grants. It's a promise to "continue to fund existing grants" to the organization -- which it was already planning on doing -- and to make it eligible for future grants. At no point in the press release does Brinker promise that Komen will renew grants to Planned Parenthood."

Lots of Flip Flopping for sure!

Bill O?Reilly hits a new low with his latest attack on Ron Paul. Thanks to Jerry Doyle for bringing to light an amazing attempt by O?Reilly to attached the Joe Paterno sex abuse scandal and Ron Paul?s fight to end the war on drugs. O?Reilly has stepped over the line once again and is sure to receive some more massive Blowback from Paul supporters.

Meanwhile the plot thickens, during Jerry Doyle?s show he exposes some unsavory behind the scenes shakedown attempts by Fox News, Roger Ailes and Bill O?Reilly. They called Doyle and threatened to find a way to take him down after his endorsement of Ron Paul. Doyle wasn?t phased by this and he came out today saying that he has dirt on Bill O?Reilly, he has the names and the places?

Folks, all I can say is that this is getting really interesting. What does Jerry Doyle know about Bill O?Reilly? SOURCE: Liberty Pulse

Michigan needs to elect a new United States Senator. There was a debate which is posted below. This is what a real debate looks like, not the dog and pony show the MSM puts on at the national elections. I hope that you will take the time to watch and listen to these candidates.




I am now going to publicly announce my endorsement for Michigan United States Senate. The person I am endorsing is the only Republican Candidate who I know will respect and uphold his oath of office and the Constitution. I Endorse Scotty Boman.

O?Sullivan?s First Law, named for John O?Sullivan, former editor of National Review, speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher, and author of the fine book The President, The Pope, and the Prime Minister, goes as follows: Any institution that is not explicitly right wing will become left wing over time. Good example include such seemingly anodyne institutions like the League of Women Voters, PTAs, National Public Radio, most professional associations like the American Bar Association, the Pew Charitable Trust (which actually was intended to be explicitly conservative, and still got captured by the left), and so forth. This week is seeing a good example of the logic and action of O?Sullivan?s First Law at work.

We noted here the other day how the leftist climateers are pressuring the American Meteorological Association to submit to climate orthodoxy. But an even more revealing case is the way the left is reacting to the decision of the Susan G. Komen Foundation to discontinue most of their funding for Planned Parenthood. The left has gone into full denunciation and outrage mode. Feminist organizations went directly to DefCon1. The Komen Foundation?s website has been hacked. Board members are being pressured to resign.

Be sure to read the entire post.

Apparently, not even if you hold children as sex slaves.

A teacher charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct in his classroom successfully thwarted attempts by the Los Angeles Unified School District to fire him. In the process, the teacher, who is accused of spoon-feeding his semen to blindfolded children, managed to retain lifetime health-benefits provided by the nation?s second-largest school system.

Former Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt also automatically receives nearly $4,000 a month in pension from the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

Investigators were a year away from filing charges against Berndt, 61, when they brought copies of disturbing photos to the school principal on Jan. 3, 2011, according to investigators. Sheriff's investigators had pictures of boys and girls gagged with tape, blindfolded and some were being fed a milky substance from a spoon.

If/when convicted, this evil specimen should be CA's #14.

I know right now in our current economic meltdown that this may seem trivial to some. However, I think this issue should be brought to the attention of the officials in the City of Rocky Mount. I recently attended a free concert at Down Town Live here in Rocky Mount. The Holiday Band played and put on a great show. Everybody had a great time and I think it is a good thing that the City is doing with the outdoor concerts.

My issue doesn't have anything to do with the concerts. My issue is with the so called "art" that the City has chosen to display in and around the Imperial Centre. Granted, the Centre is all about The Arts and I have no issue with art. I do have an issue with nude art that children will see .The Centre has a childrens museum that has great educational things for the kids to see and do. No problems here, however just outside the door leading to the museum, there is a "nice little piece of art" on display. As you can plainly see in the pics, kids really do not need to see this. I am sure someone will say, "well they see more than that on television", or "it is art, there isn't anything wrong with it". I say to you, there is something wrong with it. It needs to be relocated to an indoor room where only adults will see it, or it needs to be removed completely. Please help me let the Mayor of Rocky Mount know that this is unacceptable! You can email Mayor David Combs here. You can find the rest of the City Council here. Thanks for your help!

I have been really slack lately as have let other committments keep me from blogging. I promise I will get back to this soon. Until then, y'all take care !

RealClearPolitics - The Same Old Equality of Result

Brillian piece by Victor Davis Hanson...........

American vs. French

The notion of freedom then butts up against equality, as if they are as often antithetical as symbiotic. (NB: note the French Revolutionary sloganeering of "fraternity" and "egalitarianism" versus the American Revolutionary emphasis on "Give me liberty, or give me death", "Don't Tread on Me!", "All men are created equal" [by opportunity rather than by result]. And note Obama's references to the French ideal.)

In response, the state has two choices to preserve its original ideal of equality (and we see elements of this further debate voiced in the Old Oligarch, Aristolte Plato, Hobbes, Hume, etc, as well as in histories of the middle and late Roman Republic).

One, the state and culture at large can be coercive to ensure a equality of result-in the modern liberal world by high redistributive taxes, generous means-tested entitlements, inflationary monetary policies to diminish the power of capital (in the ancient world by forbidding the alienability of land, mandating the maximum size of estates, coining cheap bronze/silver coated money in vast amounts, redistribution of property, cancellation of debt, etc.).

Such efforts at commonality are what we are now witnessing with income take hikes, $1.7 trillion dollar deficits, inflationary federal spending and borrowing, along with huge new entitlements. Its extreme form is the European Union, its extreme, extreme manifestations are the failed -isms and -ologies of the bloody 20th century where authoritarian elites broke the requisite eggs for the omelet of "for the people" and in service to "equality."

Last night Mitt Romney took Nevada by storm and if Public Policy Polling’s latest are any indication, there is further bad news for Newt Gingrich ahead in Colorado and Minnesota as Romney and Santorum are both on the rise.

According to the latest from PPP Romney is polling at 40% in Colorado to 26% for Rick Santorum, 18% for Gingrich, and 12% for Ron Paul. Meanwhile Santorum is actually leading their poll in Minnesota at 29% to 27% for Romney, 22% for Gingrich, and 19% for Paul.

PPP is watching an overall trend downward for Gingrich. Check out the link above for more insight into the numbers.

Once upon a time, small ball was not Barack Obama?s game. Tuesday, it was the essence of his State of the Union address. The visionary of 2008 ? purveyor of hope and change, healer of the earth, tamer of the rising seas ? offered an hour of little things: tax-code tweaks to encourage this or that kind of behavior (manufacturing being the flavor of the day), little watchdog agencies to round up Wall Street miscreants and Chinese DVD pirates, even a presidential demand ?that all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18.? Under penalty of what? Jail? The self-proclaimed transformer of America is now playing truant officer?

Jean Evener commented on Bruce Morris Jr.'s video 'Alfonzo Rachel - DC - Tea Party HD'

Jean Evener Sick and tired of all the Liberals

There?s nothing better than being able to do the right thing and the politically savvy thing while simultaneously paying back a long-time abuser in spades.

And that?s just what the Republicans in Congress did to Hollywood when it abandoned the rush to pass SOPA and regulate the Internet for the benefit of Tinseltown. Astonishingly, considering its usual inability to perform competently at even the most basic level, the GOP not only managed to embrace good policy but drove a wedge into the Democratic coalition that may well have dramatic consequences down the road. And, best of all, it provided a bit of long overdue payback to the smug oligarchs of LA?s West Side who have spent the last couple decades treating Republicans like something you?d hasten to flush.

Hey, suckers, how do ya like us now?

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is only the latest attempt by Hollywood to breathe some life back into its dying business model. Enraged that online ?pirates? are passing around bootleg copies of movies, shows, books, music, and all other manner of intellectual property, the industry did what it has done for years: ran to Congress for ever more burdensome and onerous laws designed to hold back the inevitable consequences of progress. 

But this time, it went too far. Perhaps it was Hollywood?s arrogance. Perhaps it was the provisions allowing Hollywood to use the United States government to shut down any website it pleased on the mere accusation of ?piracy? without any due process, a power lefty?fascist bureaucrats would be only too eager to accept.

Not surprisingly, the people who make their living on the web were less than thrilled about giving Uncle Sam and the media conglomerates an off-switch.

Initially, the Republicans once again fell into Hollywood?s trap. When Hollywood needs something from Congress, it dons the mask of ?business? and enlists the GOP ideologically. After all, the Republicans are supposed to love ?business.? Until now, they have been blind to the fact that many of the ?businesses? that plead for special breaks before them are about as capitalist as your typical Occupy Wall Street mutant ? the only difference is nicer suits and better drugs.

They aren’t capitalists; they’re cronyists, either relying on government handouts directly or basking in the protection of special favors. And that?s precisely the opposite of what we conservatives are about.

Businesses compete; ?businesses? like the entertainment industry use the government to enact rules and regulations that make it so they don?t have to compete.

So, like Pavlov?s dogs hearing the dinner bell, the GOP started drooling when Hollywood started playing the business card. In fact, Republican Lamar Smith of Texas was only too eager to carry water for it ? as were several other normally solid Republicans who should have known better.

Of course, Hollywood laughed. It laughed because it holds Republicans in contempt. For decades, Hollywood has endeavored to depict conservative Americans are weirdos, losers, petty tyrants, religious nuts, baby killing fanatics, and idiots. And, once again, the GOP was falling into its trap and dancing to its tune. “What a bunch of suckers!” snickered the Hollywood big shots.

Oh, and the Democrats? Not an issue. Not only are Hollywood and the liberals in ideological lockstep, but Hollywood represents buckets of money and bushels of glamor. The Dems are always on board for whatever Hollywood wants. They know where their locally-sourced, whole wheat artisan bread in non-dairy buttered.

But something funny happened on the way to the fascism.

There was a backlash. The peasants revolted! Tech savvy Americans, both right and left, saw that the Internet that they had grown up with and embraced was in grave danger of being bound by regulations for the sole purpose of ensuring that the dying Hollywood business model would last a bit longer ? at the price of stifling everyone else.

No dice.

The rebellion came as a shock to the GOP congresscreatures, who in reality probably had not given much thought to the contents of SOPA ? that is, until all hell broke loose. Suddenly, they became VERY interested in intellectual property and telecommunications law.

The Republicans, pushed by a groundswell of opposition from conservative new media types, bailed. SOPA was a non-starter, and now everyone will be looking the next time Hollywood tries to play them. Hey, Hollywood, there?s a new paradigm in Tinseltown.

And the Democrats who supported SOPA  ? and who could not back out no matter how outraged the nutroots got ? ended up looking both foolish and like tools of the corporate power structure.  And that’s just what they are.

But it gets better.

It gets better because this was a great object lesson all around. To those in Republicans in Congress, it brought attention to a subject that had been sadly ignored but is vital to a huge number of influential voters. It gave them an issue ? Internet freedom ? that is truly congruent with conservative values, unlike the past political payoffs to connected Hollywood cronies. We conservatives can run on this.

It was also a lesson to young, tech-savvy people who see themselves as culturally liberal and just kind of voted that way, mostly out of habit.  The group that really shares their values ? creativity, enterprise, freedom ? is the conservativees. The liberals they counted themselves among wanted to shut down websites, not the conservatives. SOPA opened a lot of eyes.

Everything they thought they knew was a lie. Here was Kevin Bacon, and he was telling John Lithgow not to dance.

Can you say ?Wedge issue??

Internet freedom, besides being the right thing to do, is a powerful banner to carry aloft into the battle for the next generation?s hearts and minds. The young, affluent, educated voters the Democrat Party is counting on for the future have to choose between the stolid, limited, controlled world of the Democrat?s corporate owners or the free market of the conservatives where their only limits are those they impose upon themselves.

The Democrats can?t flex on this ? they are bound to Hollywood for money and what?s left of its fading aura. But the GOP? It won?t miss what it never had.

In fact, Hollywood?s history of trashing conservatives only make it sweeter when its emissaries come to us for help and we laugh in their botoxed faces.

With its crappy product, promotion of (mostly) non-stellar ?stars? and sneering contempt for the majority of its customers, Hollywood seems desperately committed to failure. That?s why when is asks us for a life preserver, we should be only too happy to hand it an anvil.

For all the pomp and excess of Madonna’s Super Bowl halftime show, it is likely to be a single extended middle finger by guest singer M.I.A. that is most remembered.

The gesture, accompanied by a barely disguised expletive, came during a performance of Madonna’s new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin.’” At the end of her lines, M.I.A. appeared to sing “I don’t give a (expletive),” although it was hard to hear clearly.

The incident was reminiscent of Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” eight years ago — a surprise risque moment in front of tens of millions of unsuspecting viewers. The brief exposure of Jackson’s nipple during the 2004 halftime show raised a storm of controversy and put CBS in hot water with the Federal Communications Commission.

The Super Bowl, shown on NBC this year, is routinely viewed by more than 100 million people, the biggest TV event of the year.

The screen briefly went blurred after M.I.A.’s gesture in what seemed like a late attempt to cut out the camera shot. The NFL, which produces the show, had no immediate comment.

Madonna had admittedly been nervous about her performance, hoping to position herself as the queen of a new generation of pop stars with an opulent show and a sharp performance that mixed her new release with more familiar songs. She seemed like Roman royalty when muscle-bound men carried her extravagant throne across the football field to the stage for her opening song, “Vogue.”

Guests Cee Lo and dance rockers LMFAO also appeared with M.I.A. The singing and dancing on “Vogue” was smartly choreographed, as Madonna moved more deliberately — she is 53 — but still adroitly. She briefly appeared to stumble at one point while trying to make a step on the stage set, but recovered in time.

She let a tightrope walker make the more acrobatic moves during a performance of “Music.”

Madonna carried gold pompons for a performance of her new single. Twitter was alight with questions about the vocals being lip synched or augmented by tapes, particularly during this song.

The best guest was clearly Cee Lo, who joined Madonna for the final song, “Like a Prayer.” They were joined by a robed chorus in the show’s most soaring performance. With a puff of white smoke, Madonna disappeared down a trap door in the stage, and lights on the field spelled out “World Peace.”

The veteran star’s vocals were not strong throughout, lending to a sense of distance. Still, the finger incident is the more likely headline from the event.

Earlier, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert offered some pregame patriotism. Shelton and Lambert did a twangy duet on “America the Beautiful” and Clarkson, in a simple black dress, sang “The Star Spangled Banner” without a hitch after last year’s performer, Christina Aguilera, flubbed a line.

2012 Florida Primary predictions:

Mitt Romney will win the Florida primary by a significant margin.

Rick Santorum will fade after people find out what he really stands for and he fails to raise money.

Newt Gingrich will quit after Florida, then blame his supporters for his failings as a candidate. His concession speech will use inappropriate historical metaphors and be bitter and hateful.

Rick Perry will retreat to Texas after he spends all the money he raised. OOPS!

Ron Paul will surprise the establishment with a 2nd or 3rd place showing after not really campaigning in Florida that much.

Jon Huntsman does better than expected: 3%
